Chapter 478: Chapter 477: The Whereabouts of Dream Pure

“Captain Liu, what are your thoughts?”

As a competent captain, Captain Liu intended to present a well-thought-out scheme.

“I suggest finding a cultivator who is successful in the Dream Path to inspect all dreams and monitor those across the nine provinces who dream about you, Hall Master.”

Jiang Li volunteered, “Actually, I’m adept at the Dream Path. I can enter people’s dreams.”

When Jiang Li had learned the Dream Path from Dream Pure, he had traversed others’ dreams and ultimately met the first emperor.

Captain Liu: “…”

“I am glad that you, Hall Master, are considering doing this personally. If you would be willing to check all the female cultivators’ dreams every night, I’d be more than happy.”

Jiang Li felt that this matter should be left to those capable of doing it.

Bai Hongtu chuckled in amusement at the side, “The dreams the female cultivators are having are about you. It’s hard to say whether you entering their dreams would be a good or a bad thing for them.”

“Alright, you two have thought this through more than me.” Jiang Li admitted that he had been impulsive in showing off his knowledge of the Dream Path.

After considering Liu’s solution, he found some holes in it.

“Dreams are private matters. If the Imperial Palace were to monitor the dreams of all nine provinces, those with other types of dreams will inevitably feel alienated, feeling that the Imperial Palace does not respect them.”

“Then, according to Hall Master’s opinion…” Captain Liu admitted his oversight.

“We need to find a method to filter through these dreams, only looking at the ones about me. Ah, only the ones where I am undressed, clothed ones can be left out.” Jiang Li wanted to afford the cultivators as much freedom as possible.

“You can rest assured about that. As per Emperor Zhou’s words, almost 90% of the dreams about you involve you being unclothed.”

“…”

Jiang Li suddenly wondered, could there be pornographic novels about him being sold in the market?

No, he couldn’t think about this, he would pretend it didn’t exist.

“This requires someone with a very strong Dream Path skill. Currently, Dream Pure should be the best. I’ll go find her.” Jiang Li remembered parting ways with Dream Pure in the Great Zhou Dynasty. Considering the jolly nature of Little Zhou and Dream Pure’s playful tendencies, she should still be there, perhaps for several more decades.

“I’ll go with you.” Bai Hongtu volunteered.

Jiang Li gave Bai Hongtu a sideways glance, suspecting that he thought hanging from a tree earlier was embarrassing, and now he wanted to go out and play a little.

Not emotionally resilient.

…

When Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu found Ji Zhi, they discovered that he was writing answers about the Dao of Time.

“Why are you writing such stuff?” Jiang Li curiously perused the pages.

“Recently, I have gained a few more junior generation family members. Their aptitude for the Dao of Time is quite average, far from mine or Kongkong’s level. They are encountering some problems in the Dao of Time and are seeking my help.”

Being the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty and managing the state wasn’t the only role of Ji Zhi’s. He was also the master of the Ji family and managed the royal relatives and nobles.

The first question Jiang Li saw was: Why can a man with zero talent in the Dao of Time move freely in the River of Time?

Ji Zhi replied: This is a reckless behavior, don’t delve too deep into it. Good children should not learn from such people.

Jiang Li returned the question book to Ji Zhi with a smirking face.

Only then did Ji Zhi remember the outrageous answer he had written in his answer book.

Bai Hongtu also looked at Ji Zhi with a smirk, ready for action.

“I wonder if Little Ji remembers what he just said in the Remote Communication Talisman?”

Ji Zhi had been a candidate for the Human Emperor and had a brotherly relationship with Bai Hongtu, so it was natural that he had immediately told Bai Hongtu about Jiang Li impersonating a Dao Sect traveler.

Ji Zhi regretted not using the Repeated Pupil to see the future after he was tracked down by the two executioners.

He quickly changed the topic: “You came to me because of the issue with dreams, right? Just tell me if there is anything I can help you with.”

Only then did Jiang Li explain his intentions.

“So, you’re looking for this Dream Pure, a Body Integration Realm cultivator?”

“I do remember this name. A few months ago, a local official reported her case to me, requesting that she be accepted as a citizen of the Great Zhou. The local official in charge of the case was accordingly rewarded— some were promoted while others received a pay raise.”

An Integration Realm cultivator joining the Great Zhou was considered a big event that would be reported to Ji Zhi.

“I’ll have the Household Department Official look into her whereabouts.”

The Household Department Official worked very efficiently and quickly came up with an answer.

“Dream Pure registered her information in a city on the edge of Great Zhou and then traveled throughout the territory of Great Zhou. You know, the areas she visited are quite similar to the places you traveled to when you were in Great Zhou.” Ji Zhi was amused. Jiang Li was from Great Zhou. He had left his hometown, Qingcheng, traveled and studied across Great Zhou before finally leaving.

Of all the places in Great Zhou, Jiang Li had spent the longest time at the Great Zhou Dynasty Royal Academy.

“She is currently in Xian’an City and has not left yet.”

Xian’an City, as the name suggested, was a place suited for relaxation. Jiang Li had passed this place about five hundred years ago.

At that time, Jiang Li and his group were cultivating and had no intention to relax, so they left quickly.

Now, Jiang Li, as the Human Emperor, wanted to relax, but these cultivators from the nine provinces were causing so much trouble, and he had no time to relax.

“Maybe Dream Pure likes it here and has decided to settle down.”

Of all the places in her journey, Dream Pure had stayed in Xian’an City the longest.

“Unexpectedly, I could come back here.”

The overall atmosphere of Xian’an City had a laid-back feel to it. Jiang Li stretched lazily and strolled into the city.

Looking for Dream Pure was not in a hurry. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu strolled leisurely through the city, found a century-old noodle shop and dined there.

For the two, who were over five hundred years old, a century-old noodle shop made no difference compared to a newly opened one.

In the Nine Provinces, one could often see century-old or even a millennium-old businesses, and even some cases where the original owners still operated the businesses.

The noodle shop was bustling with customers. Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu joined a table with other diners and enjoyed their noodles while chatting with them.

“Does our Xian’an City have any powerful practitioners of the Dream Path?” Bai Hongtu asked naturally.

“I guess this young man also came here because of the reputation.” The diner saw Bai Hongtu order the tastiest noodles and believed him to be a gastronomic connoisseur, thus becoming friendlier.

“Our Xian’an City has a sect called the Food Color Dream Sect which specializes in cultivating the Dream Path.”

“On the surface, the Food Color Dream Sect doesn’t involve itself in mundane matters and focuses only on its cultivation, but in actuality, they provide special services.”

“What kind of services?”

“Since the young man mentioned the Dream Path, you should know that the attitude of Great Zhou towards Dream Path cultivators is rather ambiguous. They didn’t say that these cultivators couldn’t use the Dream Path to make money, but they didn’t say it was okay either.”

“The Food Color Dream Sect provides custom dream services, but they don’t have a business license and they don’t pay taxes.”

“How strong is this sect?”

“I’ve heard that a Body Integration Realm cultivator is temporarily staying at the Food Color Dream Sect. Now, many cultivators are rushing over because of this rumor.”

Jiang Li and Bai Hongtu exchanged a glance. It seemed they had found the right place.

Guided by the directions given by the diner, the two found the Food Color Dream Sect.

At the entrance of the sect, Jiang Li saw someone familiar and walked up, tapping the person on the shoulder.

“Pure Heart, why are you here?”

Pure Heart, like a startled kitten, jolted.
