Shen Jizi glanced at Xiao Jie and gave him a wink.

Xiao Jie understood naturally—it was not to be shared with an outsider.

He waved his hand gently.

The crowd only felt a moment of bewilderment in front of their eyes, as if brushed by a faint mist. When they regained their senses, they had already awakened from the dream.

Xiao Jie’s figure was nowhere to be found, but Shen Jizi’s silhouette was sprawled across the wooden table before them, sleeping soundly.

"Tsk! It’s just a spell, no big deal for me to be impressed with!"

"Exactly! I can also perform divination, I don’t care for his spell!"

The crowd spoke with a tinge of envy, but the topic soon shifted back to the suddenly appeared "Daoist Sui Feng".

"Daoist Sui Feng has already reached the Daluo Realm... hard to imagine."

"Seems he must have ventured to the Great Thousand Worlds. It’s unknown what kind of encounters he had..."

"Tsk, if you want to go, then just go!"

"I’m not going! I only hope that tomorrow can truly succeed..." The Immortal said, looking at the surrounding picturesque landscape, then at the horizon visible in the distance, and sighed softly, "This place is fine, but... a bit too cramped."

——

Meanwhile, deep in the dreamscape——

"Thus, this is the core secret technique of the It Transformation Freedom Heart." Shen Jizi sat cross-legged, his voice calm, "An ordinary Immortal would need to exert a lot of effort to cultivate it. But now that you have reached the Daluo Realm, you should easily grasp it."

Xiao Jie closed his eyes and focused, then opened them moments later.

Indeed, he had learned it.

However, it wasn’t much related to cultivation, it relied on the game system—once the conditions were met, learning was immediate. Convenient, but it lacked the joy of "enlightenment".

"Thank you for sharing so generously, Daoist." He respectfully cupped his hands.

"Don’t mention it." Shen Jizi waved his hand, though there was a hint of apology in his expression, "Entrusting such a heavy responsibility on you, I truly feel bad. Any help is always good."

Xiao Jie did not waste words, knowing his feelings with Shen Jizi and the others were not that deep, and it was time to leave once he had what he needed.

"Farewell then."

Xiao Jie cupped his hands, his figure gradually fading.

Shen Jizi opened his eyes to see a group of Immortals eagerly staring at him.

"Well, well? Did that kid learn it?"

"Naturally, he learned it."

"What about the matter of salvation? Shen Jizi, you’re best at divining and calculating, can you calculate if it will succeed?"

Shen Jizi sighed, pinching his fingers but slowly shook his head.

"The key to this matter is not in this world. Moreover, with a Saint obscuring the Heavenly Secret... I cannot calculate."

The crowd looked at each other in dismay.

"Then learning the It Transformation Freedom Heart by Daoist Sui Feng, is it also useless?"

"It should... be useful." Shen Jizi gazed into the void with a profound look in his eyes, "It’s just not clear how he will use it."

————————

Xiao Jie slowly opened his eyes.

In front of him was the familiar ceiling.

Beside him was the sound of even breathing.

The mana of a Daluo Golden Immortal was indeed powerful—traveling between three worlds took only about an hour.

He quietly got out of bed and walked to the window.

Outside the window was a chaotic sky. Without sun, moon, or stars, it was impossible to discern the time. Yet the flow of spiritual mechanism within him clearly informed him that dawn was not far away.

He should also seize the time to complete the final preparations.

He wanted to see what exactly was hidden in that dreamscape. What exactly did Feng Buqi want to tell him?

Thinking of this, Xiao Jie slowly closed his eyes,.

——————

Again, it was that dreamscape.

Again, it was that rooftop.

The city slept beneath his feet, a sea of neon lights flickered in the distance. The night wind was slightly cool, carrying a familiar yet unfamiliar taste.

Xiao Jie stood atop the building. Not far away, Feng Buqi stood with his back to him, quietly gazing at the moonlight in the night sky.

Everything around was frozen in stillness.

At this moment, it was not a true dreamscape, but a scene recreated from fragments of memory within Xiao Jie’s mind.

Strictly speaking, the It Transformation Freedom Heart is not a spell of divination. It’s more like a supercomputer, able to extrapolate every detail to the extreme. It cannot "calculate" the future, but it can deduce all possible trajectories of the future, along with the probability of each trajectory.

Although unable to break the information obstruction placed upon Xiao Jie by a Saint, it can nonetheless deduce the "most likely" content of that message based on all currently available information.

As to whether this result is absolutely true...

No one can guarantee.

But for Xiao Jie, this was already the only opportunity.

It Transformation Freedom Heart—Activate!

In an instant, Xiao Jie’s consciousness seemed to be pulled from his body, ascending into an ineffable realm.

All creation was stilled.

The wind was solidified.

Everything on the rooftop transformed into countless deconstructible details—every slight expression of Feng Buqi, each movement of his lips, every wisp of air’s motion...

Innumerable data rushed in like a torrent, only to be deconstructed, reorganized, and extrapolated within his consciousness.

Then—

The screen moved.

"I’ve recently recalled something extremely important." Feng Buqi turned around, looked at Xiao Jie seriously, "Sui Feng, my dear brother, listen well—"

Xiao Jie calmed himself, focused.

Feng Buqi’s lips moved, and the words once obscured were finally clearly heard:

"Someday in the future, you will gain an opportunity—an opportunity to touch the Power of Saint. Under no circumstances should you attempt to seize it, for that power is beyond your grasp."

Xiao Jie was stunned.

He didn’t expect the extrapolation would result in such an outcome.

"Why?" he instinctively asked, "Is there a hidden danger with the Power of Saint?"

"The Power of Saint naturally has hidden dangers." Feng Buqi said slowly, "But at that time, you will naturally find a way to restrain it. The key lies in utilizing the power of the Heavenly Dao—by using ’Unity of Heaven and Man’, you can master the Power of Saint without suffering its backlash."

Xiao Jie’s heart was stirred. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

This indeed aligned with his discoveries.

"Isn’t that wonderful then?"

"No." Feng Buqi shook his head, his expression growing solemn, "Harnessing the power of a Saint already comes with huge hidden dangers, so using the power of the Heavenly Dao... why do you think it requires no price?"

Xiao Jie’s heart suddenly tensed.

Could the Unity of Heaven and Man also be a trap? No way, I’ve used it many times already.

"What price? Are you suggesting... losing one’s humanity?"

"Yes—and no."

"Then what exactly is it?"

Feng Buqi suddenly smiled faintly, his smile containing something indescribable—a sense of relief, regret, and a hint of deep-seated anticipation.

"Brother Sui Feng, you have already studied the Unnamed Taoist Scripture. Why do you still not understand its principle?"

Unnamed Taoist Scripture?

Xiao Jie was anxious—you can’t just say it clearly!

However, Feng Buqi only gave him a long, deep look, then slowly retreated a step.

"Farewell, Brother Sui Feng. I must go."

"Take care of yourself."

With that, his figure began to dissipate.

Xiao Jie wanted to chase after him but held himself back forcibly; this wasn’t really Feng Buqi at all, just a simulation from the It Transformation Freedom Heart, chasing after would be useless.

Yet he couldn’t help but ask, "Wait! In the end—"

The vision before him abruptly darkened.

Nothing else existed.

————————

Xiao Jie slowly opened his eyes.

Outside the window, dim daylight was emerging from the horizon. It was the light refracted by the Embers City’s protective shield, chaotic and dim, yet heralding a new day had arrived.

He stood there quietly, motionless.

"Unnamed Taoist Scripture... Unnamed Taoist Scripture..."

He muttered to himself.

This power of Unity of Heaven and Man, he had used it so many times, never noticing any hidden dangers. If it were only losing one’s humanity and emotions, it doesn’t seem that terrifying. But according to Feng Buqi, the side effect seemed far greater.

He carefully recalled the content of the Unnamed Taoist Scripture—Heaven, Earth, and Man, reviewing it word by word, from start to finish, re-reading, re-experiencing it.

In the past, although he had studied and read these three volumes of Taoist Scripture, he had not truly delved into its philosophical doctrines. It was more about learning skills and gaining talent abilities.

This time, however, he paid exceptional attention.

He chewed over each word.

Repeated the experience again and again.

Suddenly—

His expression changed dramatically!

"So, that’s it! So, that’s it!"

He murmured to himself, looking at the increasingly bright dim daylight outside the window.

A new day had arrived.
