Treasure Hunting System： The Ocean Conquerer-Chapter 716 - 321: Dream Realm Stage 5_3

Upon hearing this, Shadow Robe shook his head. "No, you underestimate yourself and the power that Royal Authority brings."

"Be bolder. The privileges brought by Royal Authority allow you to achieve anything with strength, as long as it doesn’t threaten the world’s foundational operations or the basic rules of the Dream Realm."

Alka was well aware of this, but the problem was... How to put it? He couldn’t quite articulate it at the moment.

Shadow Robe observed Alka’s expression, feeling the waves of thought emanating from him. He seemed to understand something and nodded.

"It seems you haven’t yet grasped the true nobility of your identity, nor have you adapted to your new status."

"However, the method I just mentioned is indeed feasible. Shall we act?"

Alka stood still, pondering. Before long, Mirmi also approached. He came to Alka’s side and rubbed him with his crystal-like antlers.

"Alright, let’s begin preparations."

Hearing this, Shadow Robe nodded, and Mirmi, beside him, nodded in agreement.

"Then we shall take our leave."

With that, the two dream creatures bid farewell and departed, beginning to lead the mist-like beings in the Dream World to make preparations.

Alka’s primary task was to break through to Five Spirals in the Dream World. Then, he needed to expand the Mirror Space’s range to meet the requirements for constructing the Royal Court.

He quickly flew back to his Dream Bubble. Although his Dream Bubble was now enormous, Alka had also continued to expand the Crystal Pillar Stone within it.

Inside the Crystal Pillar Stone, besides the gold and silver Energy, there was now also a faint gray Energy. This Energy originated from the division brought by Alka’s Royal Authority. It grew with the expansion of his entire Palace and the influence of his Royal Court. For the time being, Alka hadn’t figured out how to use this Energy. He hadn’t studied it thoroughly yet.

He flew to the side of the Crystal Pillar Stone. The Mirror in his hand began to transform. It became a deer-head likeness, modeled after Mirmi’s form, which Alka then placed on his own head.

His form began to change.

From his chest, the Dreamcatcher Crystal Ball emerged. Looking at this Crystal Ball, Alka held it in his hand and squeezed gently. The Crystal Ball instantly shattered, transforming into a dense, pink mist that formed glowing rings around him. This was the manifestation of his complete control over it.

He took a deep breath. The gold and silver Energies mixed with his own pink Energy, coalescing as Alka began to release the suppression on his strength. Subsequently, the power within him began to grow naturally. With Alka’s intentional Meditation, his strength rapidly increased. He began to break through the barrier.

The gold and silver Energies, mixed with the pink mist, strengthened Alka’s connection with reality. This effectively eased the fragmentation, stabilizing the connection between reality and the Dream Realm, ensuring his power enhancement would proceed without incident.

As his power in the Dream Realm rose, the first thing to change was Alka’s Dream Bubble, which began to grow again. The Divine Bloodline, awakened by the consumption of the Divine Fragment, also started to boil. As his power increased, the changes wrought by the Divine Bloodline also began to manifest.

The fragmentation... it’s stabilized?

Alka was puzzled. But with no time for further thought, he seized the opportunity for a final sprint.

Though termed a final sprint, for Alka, it could only be described as a natural progression. His power ascended effortlessly.

The experience of power advancement in a dream was distinctly different from reality. Consequently, Alka’s advancement showed little outward manifestation; an uninformed observer standing nearby would have thought Alka hadn’t done anything at all.

But Alka had already opened his eyes. He had successfully advanced to a power level equivalent to the Fifth Stage within the Dream Realm. The gap between his power in the Dream Realm and his power in reality had widened further.

He also began to understand why, despite such significant fragmentation, he hadn’t been severed. Instead, his connection had stabilized. His status as a Divine Descendant had aided him. The Divine Fragment he had consumed originated from a Divine who was half-real, half-dream. This state was almost equivalent to his own current condition. Therefore, this Divine Bloodline had greatly assisted him in stabilizing the fragmentation between his real and dream aspects.

For a normal person, even a one-stage difference would be enough to tear them into two separate entities—one in reality, one in the dream. But Alka, even when his power in the Dream Realm was two stages higher, could still barely maintain his integrity.

As his power advanced to the Fifth Stage, the sensation of his power inexplicably increasing without deliberate cultivation finally slowed considerably. Alka could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

At this moment, his dream-self, still wearing the deer-head likeness, also underwent a transformation. The likeness completely disappeared, replaced by similar patterns that now adorned Alka’s face. Two antler-like protrusions also sprouted from his head. His originally digitigrade deer-like legs transformed back into human legs, yet he still maintained the mimicked form.

This increase in power elevated him from merely mastering a Treasure at the Fourth Stage to being capable of altering the Treasure itself.
