Chapter 18: An Unexpected Breakthrough

The night sky is full of stars, and the mountain breeze blows, giving off a slight coolness.

Bian Yao "groaned", slowly opened his eyes, and what entered his eyes was the twinkling stars in the sky. The gentle night breeze penetrated into the seams of his clothes, and Bian Yao felt a touch of comfort. He tried to move his body to get up, but felt a tingling sensation all over his body.

"Oh~!?" Suddenly, Bian Yao exclaimed.

He finally realized that something was wrong, and he could still distinguish the vague black shadows around him, which turned out to be all branches and leaves.

Bian Yao felt glad in his heart that he was not dead, but he was unexpectedly saved, and he was lying on top of a big tree at the moment. With some difficulty, he sat up and looked around for a moment.

It turned out that under the broken wall where he fell, there was a huge strange tree growing obliquely, with a thick trunk, many branches, and very lush leaves.

Bian Yao leaned on the trunk of the tree, tried to pick up the branches and leaves and looked down, but he didn't see anything. Then he looked upwards again, and looked for a long time, but faintly he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Alas~" Bian Yao sighed, not dead but in a predicament! Now I can only sit and wait for dawn to talk about it, maybe there is a way to leave.

"I don't know if she's asleep, what if I'm stuck here all the time?" At this time, he suddenly thought of He Qingyin, and when the girl's anxious and helpless face appeared in his mind, Bian Yao's heart suddenly tightened.

"We must find a way to go back as soon as possible!"

Bian Yao sat on the tree thinking wildly, and suddenly reached out and touched his arms.

"Great! Listening to what the man said, this grass seems to be called 'Three Spice Spiritual Grass', and it should be quite valuable just by listening to the name. It's just that he fell off the cliff, and if the spirit grass that he desperately protected is lost, wouldn't he be unjustly killed!" Bian Yao smiled with satisfaction, and lay down on the tree again, waiting for dawn.

The night finally lifted, and the sky brightened.

When the rising red sun just shone on the big tree on the cliff wall, Bian Yao opened his eyes, turned his head to look at the red morning sun, and showed a smile.

Bian Yao raised his head and looked up, and the big tree he saved was about ten zhang high from the top of the broken wall. There are some rocks on the wall that do not protrude much, but I can only climb up four or five feet at most, and it is impossible to go up to the top.

Bian Yao frowned and moved a few steps on the branch, and then looked down the cliff, his eyes a little confused.

This cliff is about 400 feet high, and unless you fly down from a tree, you can't reach the bottom at all, and if you accidentally fall down, you will definitely die. Now there is only one way to go, and that is to go up. Although it is ten zhang high from the top of the cliff, it can still be tried.

Bian Yao staggered along the main trunk of the tree towards the cliff wall, and he decided to give it a try. After all, there is a big tree supporting you, even if you can't climb up and fall down, as long as you are quick and careful, you will be fine.

Standing in front of the stone wall, Bian Yao raised his eyes and observed for a moment, and found all the stone rocks that were protruding and could be used for his own strength.

Bian Yao took a few deep breaths, slowly lowered his body, and his body suddenly jumped more than a foot high. In an instant, his left foot stepped on a convex rock, kicked hard, and then jumped up half a zhang, and then his right foot landed on another convex rock, and jumped up half a zhang. In this way, Bian Yao jumped five times in quick succession with his feet, and finally rolled over in mid-air and fell back to the tree.

"Damn~!" Bian Yao gasped and scolded in a low voice, it seemed that he could only jump up five feet away at most. There is a convex rock that can be borrowed, and it is more than two zhang away from the next protruding rock, and he can only jump more than one zhang high at most, and Bian Yao's mind flips quickly.

"It would be nice if someone passed by here, it's a big deal to give the spirit grass to the person who saved him, he must not be trapped here!" Thinking of the end, Bian Yao shouted towards the top of the cliff, and after a while, no one responded, so he could only give up helplessly.

Bian Yao's stomach began to growl again, he looked around, and then carefully moved his body to look for something like the tree that could produce some fruit.

Half a moment later, just as Bian Yao was about to stop looking, he caught a glimpse of something familiar. It was a bird's nest made of thin branches and leaves, hanging upside down there, hidden in such a secret that you wouldn't be able to spot it if you weren't paying attention.

Bian Yao's heart moved, he lay down and slowly moved towards the bird's nest, put his hand into the bird's nest and touched it, and suddenly laughed. There were three bird eggs in the nest, Bian Yao took out one first, knocked it on the trunk, then opened the eggshell and raised his head, and swallowed the egg white and yolk inside.

Wiping the corners of his mouth, thinking that he didn't know how many days he would be trapped here, Bian Yao restrained his strong **, and did not touch the remaining two eggs, he decided to eat another one when he was too hungry.

Time passed little by little, until it was close to noon, Bian Yao was still frowning, but he never thought of a feasible way. When he thought of He Qingyin's panicked and anxious appearance because his whereabouts were unknown, Bian Yao's eyes turned red.

"What to do? What to do...... It would be nice if I could break through to the realm of Dream Mania, although Dream Mania can't fly high, and it can't fly far, but Shizhang is still fine. But now, he is only a late-stage dreamer, and he hasn't even reached the realm of a dreamwalker...... Dreamwalkers?" Bian Yao kept whispering. When he thought of the Dream Walker, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he suddenly remembered what the Night Corpse had said, "Dream Cultivator who breaks through to the Dream Walker realm will greatly improve his physical fitness and mobility ability! For example, it takes a day for a Dream Walker to move one stone to the top of the mountain, so after becoming a Dream Walker, you may be able to move two stones in half a day, or even less time, to reach the top ......of the mountain."

"Even if I can break through to the Dreamwalker has such an advantage, does that also mean that if I can only jump one zhang high now, I can jump two feet or even higher after breaking through to the Dreamwalker?" Bian Yao thought of this, and the corners of his mouth gradually curved.

When the sun was shining, Bian Yao sat motionless on the tree, his consciousness entered the dream again, attached to his body and began to concentrate on cultivation. He wanted to rely on breaking through to the Dream Walker realm to get out of his current predicament.

The dark dream realm has not changed in the slightest compared to the past, no matter how strange things are, it will not be strange if you see too many things! Bian Yao worked hard to dispel distracting thoughts, and seriously felt and breathed the unique breath in the dream.

When Bian Yao attached his consciousness to his body and concentrated on cultivating, a burst of strange fragrance composed of three different flavors slowly overflowed upwards from his body's bosom and was inhaled into his body.

The sun rises and sets, time passes slowly, and those invisible changes are also happening quietly.

On the fourth day, when the Golden Ussi fell.

The afterglow of the setting sun shone on Bian Yao's body. At this moment, his breathing suddenly accelerated, and his face turned red in an instant, as if the blood of his whole body was flowing violently in his body.

Bian Yao closed his eyes tightly, his body trembled slightly unconsciously, and beads of sweat continued to ooze and roll down from his forehead. This lasted for about half a pillar of incense before it gradually stopped.

"Shh~~" Bian Yao let out a long breath of turbidity, and then opened his eyes.

"What does it feel like?The clothes are soaked, and the things in front of me seem to be different from before......" Bian Yao's eyes widened, and he slowly turned his head to look around, muttering in his mouth.

He suddenly realized that when he looked at the top of the cliff, the feeling of unattainability had disappeared. All the protrusions on the cliff face can be seen clearly from a distance. Bian Yao even found a convex rock route at a glance that he could borrow, and he had already calculated in his mind which convex rock to step on each foot.

Bian Yao stood up and felt that his body seemed to be much lighter.

Turning around and looking at the red glow in the sky, there seemed to be something in his heart that he wanted to vent, that was excitement!

"Ah~~!" Bian Yao shouted at the western sky.

The next moment, he suddenly jumped into the air, and he jumped more than two feet high!

"Haha~ I'm getting better again!" Bian Yao shouted with a loud laugh.

At sunset, beside the cliff wall.

On a large tree stretched out diagonally, the boy shouted and jumped in the face of the setting sun.

Until the sunset retracts its last rays.
