The Eerie Immortal Path: Begin by Devouring Fairy Flesh-Chapter 97 – True or False of Dreams?
"Was it a dream?!"
"Everything that just happened was just a dream?"
Brandon Jiang sat up in bed, his heart pounding.
This time, he didn't see those eerie black bugs. The sky outside the window was just beginning to brighten, and nothing unusual had occurred.
It seemed that everything he had seen and felt was just a dream.
"But can a person have such a realistic dream?"
Brandon found it hard to believe. Everything that had just happened felt too real.
The omnipresent, all-devouring black cloud of insects, the zombie-like crowd, the artifact craftsmen using themselves as materials, Frank Fan smiling eerily while bleeding himself into an iron bucket.
Everything seemed so real.
Especially when he thought about placing such a scene in the Heavenly Lotus Sect or a similar demonic sect, it felt perfectly fitting.
With this thought, another suspicion arose in Brandon's mind.
"The Heavenly Lotus Sect... Could it be that I had a nightmare about Human Emperor City turning into the Heavenly Lotus Sect because I still have psychological shadows from the sect?"
"It's not impossible."
But before Brandon could relax, he remembered the day Jessica Yu died and the scene when the Villain of the Blood Sea appeared.
At that time, he thought he had seen it wrong due to his psychological shadows. But what happened?
That hallucination was created by himself! Jessica Yu died because of him!
So, could everything he just experienced be something similar to a murder hallucination? Maybe it wasn't real, but it was definitely some kind of omen?!
Moreover, the scope of that dream was too large, covering almost the entire Human Emperor City. If something really happened, wouldn't the scale and impact be terrifying?!
Brandon shivered all over, his heart racing again.
Could it be that anyone he dreamed about would die mysteriously?!
He checked his Dantian and was relieved to find no new ownerless spiritual energy.
But he couldn't be sure that nothing had happened outside. He quickly dressed and went out to check the situation on the street.

The street was bustling with people, just like before, with no changes.
Brandon hurried to the blacksmith shop, where the cultivators were shirtless and busy forging iron.
Frank Fan was among them, helping out.
Brandon looked at the cultivators strangely, a little surprised.
Their positions were exactly the same as in his dream, even the number of people matched!
But after thinking about it, Brandon quickly relaxed. Each forging station had a designated user, and it was normal for their positions not to change.
"Senior Sister Wang, it's not even dawn yet. Why are you here?" Frank Fan noticed Brandon and greeted him with some surprise.

Brandon forced a smile and said, "I had a nightmare and came out to clear my mind."
"Oh." Frank nodded knowingly and then said, "By the way, I have a remedy for nightmares. Do you want it?"
"No need, but thanks for the offer." Brandon waved his hand, feeling a bit more at ease seeing everyone was fine.
Maybe he was overthinking it, and it really was just a dream.
He was about to leave the blacksmith shop but suddenly remembered something and turned back to ask Frank, "Old Fan, do you remember what you were doing a while ago?"
Frank was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Of course, my memory isn't that bad. I was preparing water for quenching."
He pointed to an iron bucket by a cultivator's feet not far away.
Brandon's pupils contracted sharply as he looked at the iron bucket.
The iron bucket was exactly the same as the one in his dream, the one Frank used for bleeding, with no differences in detail.
The only difference was that one bucket was filled with blood, and the other with water!
But that wasn't the main point!
The main point was that while he was dreaming, Frank was actually preparing quenching water!
When he had worked at the blacksmith shop with Frank before, he had never seen Frank do this!
Yet his dream matched Frank's real-time actions?!
Could there be such a coincidence in the world?!
Sure enough, there was something seriously wrong with this dream! It was a dream that completely corresponded with reality!
Brandon felt his scalp tingle. His mind raced as he grabbed an iron bucket and placed it where it had been in his dream, then squatted in the spot where Frank had squatted in the dream, anxiously asking, "Did you get the quenching water from here?"
Frank was stunned, incredulous. "Senior Sister Wang, are you stalking me? How do you know such details?"
Brandon thought, "Just as I suspected." He scanned the surroundings and immediately questioned, "But why could you get quenching water here? Where's the water source?"
"Where did you get the water from?!"
Frank was momentarily speechless. He looked at the spot where he had gotten the water, scratched his head, and said, "I remember there was a big water jar here. I got the water from the jar. As for the jar, it seems to have been moved."
"Are you sure?!"
Brandon stared intently at Frank, not missing any detail in his eyes.
"Yes... Yes, is there a problem?" Frank asked, feeling uncomfortable under Brandon's gaze.
"Senior Sister Wang, what exactly do you want to know?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't be asking you." Brandon frowned, muttering in confusion.
He felt like he was going crazy. The scenes from his dream lingered in his mind, making him almost develop a psychological shadow towards the blacksmith shop.
But aside from the dream corresponding with the people and scenes in Human Emperor City, there was nothing else unusual.
In the end, Brandon left the blacksmith shop.
After being disturbed by the dream, he lost all interest in learning alchemy.
And sleep, he really didn't want to sleep anymore, lest he have another dream that made him paranoid.
He returned to his residence and did nothing but cultivate.
Time flew by, and more than half a month later, Brandon's cultivation had reached the peak of the sixth level of Qi Refining.
Just one step away from breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
But this also presented a problem: he lacked captives of cultivators above the eighth level of Qi Refining.
Without captives, those eerie hallucinations would devour the first cultivator he saw with a higher cultivation than his own.
However, Brandon wasn't too worried. He planned to return to the Heavenly Lotus Sect for his breakthrough.
It had been nearly two months since he left the Heavenly Lotus Sect.
In two months, Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix and Patricia Qing might have already come out of seclusion, and Chu Jun should have broken through to the Foundation Establishment Stage and prepared the antidote for the Heartbreak Pill for him.
Once he returned, he could first feign cooperation with Patricia Qing to obtain a large amount of cultivation pills from her, then use the antidote to completely detoxify himself.
After that, he could sell Patricia Qing's cultivation pills and exchange them for a captive of an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator, smoothly breaking through to the seventh level of Qi Refining.
Even if the old witch Patricia Qing found out he had betrayed her, he wouldn't be afraid. With Chu Jun and Senior Sister Heavenly Phoenix, both at the Foundation Establishment Stage, backing him, no matter how furious the old witch got, she couldn't do anything to him!
Then, he could quickly earn ten A-grade evaluations from Chu Jun, take an external mission, and completely sever ties with the Heavenly Lotus Sect, returning to Human Emperor City.
Brandon's plan was perfect.
However, he was stuck on an unexpected deadlock.
Lisa Chen had gone into seclusion!
