Gradually, Su Mu realized that his consciousness began to blur and then gradually beca clear.
At the mont he entered the dreamland, he had already forgotten his identity and lost his mory.
When he slowly opened his eyes, a shabby ceiling filled his view, with cobwebs in the corners, and flies and mosquitoes buzzing around.
Su Mu slowly sat up in bed, staring blankly for a long ti.
"Brother Su, what’s wrong?"
At that mont, a gentle voice pulled Su Mu’s thoughts back to reality,
Upon hearing the voice, Su Mu rembered his na was Su Mu, and that he was a scholar.
Following the voice, he saw a beautiful woman placing dishes on the wooden table, then turned to look at Su Mu, gently saying, "Brother Su, what’s wrong?"
"Did you stay up too late reading last night? You’ve been asleep for a long ti, and it’s already noon."
Only after she spoke did Su Mu rember that the woman speaking to him was his wife, Mo Wanwan.
He sat on the edge of the bed, put on a pair of patched cloth shoes, and then walked to the dining table, sitting down.
Mo Family served Su Mu a bowl of thick porridge soup, placed it in front of him, and said with a smile, "Brother Su, don’t work too hard; health is most important. I believe you will surely pass this year’s county examination."
Mo Family smiled, revealing so wrinkles at the corners of her eyes. She was nearly forty now, and maintaining such appearance was a testant to her natural beauty.
Unlike those from wealthy families, her life only consisted of daily necessities and hard work, so the traces of ti had already covered her face.
"I feel like I had a very long, long dream," Su Mu murmured.
Hearing this, Mo Family walked behind Su Mu, massaging his shoulders, then gently said, "Brother Su, you’re too tired. Rest well tonight."
Su Mu shook his head and said, "Let’s eat."
Mo Family returned to her seat, continuously serving dishes to Su Mu. The household was very poor, and the best at they had was rabbit at.
It’s known that rabbit at has no nutritional value and makes you thinner the more you eat. Most wealthy families considered it inferior, but it was the only at source for countless impoverished families.
After finishing the al, Su Mu realized Mo Family hadn’t eaten at all. It was then he rembered that in this era, won would always wait for the n to finish eating before they would eat.
Because n were the pillars of the family, the main labor force, and economic source, they needed to be well-fed.
"From now on, let’s eat together; you don’t need to wait for to finish."
Su Mu felt that this feudal custom was not very good.
Hearing this, Mo Family froze; she didn’t know why Brother Mo seed like a different person today. In the past, Brother Su would finish eating in silence and then quickly shut himself in to read.
"Brother Su, go and read,"
Mo Family said with a smile.
"No need, go ahead and eat," Su Mu still felt a bit dizzy.
As Mo Family ate, she tentatively asked, "Brother Su, what dream did you have? I saw you woke up with a head full of sweat today."
"I can’t rember; it’s all a jumble."
Su Mu shook his head. Although he knew he had a very long dream, he forgot the content of the dream.
...
After Mo Family finished eating, Su Mu continued reading as usual.
However, ever since that dream, he was surprised to find his mind exceptionally clear, even... possessing a photographic mory!
He quickly finished a thick, obscure ancient text, closed the book, and could recite it without error, even fully understanding its aning.
...
Six months later, Su Mu beca the top scorer in the county examination.
The following year, he again topped the provincial examination, and in the sa year, he beca the Champion Scholar in the palace examination!
He beca the Champion Scholar of Da Fu Country, and Mo Family was appointed as Madam, freeing them from poverty and making her the much-envied Champion Scholar’s wife in Da Fu Country.
...
Later, Su Mu realized that Da Fu Country was united by martial power, and only cultivators could truly stand on the historical stage.
He, a Champion Scholar with no cultivation, was rely a puppet, briefly used for a year, then thoroughly marginalized.
His mansion, once bustling with visitors, gradually beca deserted and desolate.
After that, Su Mu ca to an epiphany, determined to pursue the path of cultivation and beco a cultivator.
Thus, he secluded himself in study for over a decade, while his wife Mo Family, having experienced great ups and downs, fell seriously ill and was bedridden.
Su Mu closed the mansion gates, drove away the impatient servants, and cared for Mo Family alone while diligently studying scriptures.
Year after year, he seed to comprehend sothing, yet not comprehend anything.
Mo Family’s life was nearing its end, with only a year left.
Su Mu stopped reading, carrying Mo Family on journeys far and wide, to see wind and snow, to climb Ancient Yue, to cross rivers...
In this way, Su Mu found that each new landscape reminded him of profound truths in the books, awakening insights he’d never felt before.
Gradually, he seed to understand the language of books, the logic within, as his mindset unknowingly transford....
On this day, Su Mu carried Mo Family through wind and snow to a snow-capped mountain, climbing for a whole day, exhausted to the point of collapse, falling several tis, his legs bloodied.
Mo Family sat in the snow, looking at the swirling snowflakes, extending a trembling hand to catch a flake, smiling softly, "Brother Su, when I’m no longer here, take good care of yourself."
"Look at this snowflake, so beautiful..."
After these words, Mo Family’s breathing beca faint, and she closed her eyes, on the verge of death, with no strength to speak.
She could only gaze at her beloved.
...
This mont, Su Mu’s eyes were full of tears.
Bong——
A chi echoed from nowhere, ancient and distant.
At that mont, Su Mu ca to a profound realization, his mind undergoing transformation, his aura climbing continuously.
In the next instant.
Suddenly, the snowflakes halted in mid-air.
Su Mu’s gaze changed, no longer filled with tears but calm and serene.
Because at this mont, he rembered everything.
It turned out that the one-night dream wasn’t a dream, and he was not called Su Mu, but Su Mu.
Su Mu looked at Mo Family before him, smiled, and said, "Thank you for being with during this ti, allowing to gain enlightennt. I shall grant you a fortuitous opportunity."
In the next instant.
Mo Family’s life force rapidly rejuvenated, and her aged appearance began to turn youthful, with Spiritual Power erging within her, altering her very being.
At this mont, Mo Family gazed in fascination at Brother Su.
It turned out... her Brother Su was actually an Immortal from the celestial realms.
In her daze, as she looked again, the person before her had already transford into wind and snow, disappearing without a trace.
....
Su Mu slowly opened his eyes and found that it was already daylight.
He let out a heavy breath, his aura suddenly surging, directly breaking through to the Celestial Immortal Fourth Realm!
Looking down at the Stone Ring on his finger, he realized that all the experiences in the dream were due to this ring.
Although it was just a dream, it felt incredibly real.
What kind of ring is this... so wondrous!
It was then he rembered, this Stone Ring could also function as a Space Ring.
With a thought, he explored the space within the ring, finding it filled with various miscellaneous items.
"What is this?"
In a corner of the ring’s space, Su Mu discovered a piece of paper.
On it, a sentence was written.
