My dreams can simulate the future.

Chapter 75 Obtaining the Black Wolf's Memories

At this moment, Jiang Chen was still in Black Stone Mountain Market.

Although the defenses here are far less stringent than those within the Golden Cauldron Sect, it would still be easy to be discovered if one wanted to cause trouble.

"To test the power of the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique, it would be best to find an opponent whose spiritual strength is slightly weaker than mine."

The scholar who assassinated me with the bull was a good choice, but unfortunately I don't know where he lives.

For the past few years, the scholar has remained hidden in the shadows and has never shown his face.

Wasting time in the dream world searching for someone determined to hide in Blackrock Mountain Market is simply not worth it.

"Or, I'll use Black Wolf as the unlucky guy. I've killed him over three hundred times; I'm experienced."

It's a bit of a hassle, but it's worth a try.

Although the Nightmare Demon Bewitching Technique has a significant origin, and may even be the core inheritance of the Nightmare Demon Sect, it is still a mental attack method.

In any such method, one must be mindful of the difference in the strength of one's spiritual consciousness.

If the opponent's spiritual sense is stronger than one's own, the power of spiritual sense-based attacks will be greatly reduced, and may even backfire and injure oneself.

Jiang Chen's spiritual sense far surpasses that of cultivators of the same level, but it is roughly equivalent to an eighth-level Qi Refining cultivator.

Black Wolf, on the other hand, is a genuine veteran cultivator at the peak of Qi Refining.

"Alright, I'll learn the Soul Suppression Technique first. After subduing the Black Wolf, I'll use the Soul Suppression Technique to make him lose his senses before casting the Nightmare Bewitching Technique. The success rate should be much higher that way."

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately entered the dream world. At this time, there were still fifteen days left before leaving Blackstone Mountain Market.

-----------------

[First day of entering the dream]

Jiang Chen didn't immediately provoke the Black Wolf, but instead stayed home and diligently cultivated the [Soul Suppression Technique].

After practicing for a whole day, he finally managed to barely cast the Soul Suppression Technique.

At this moment, Jiang Chen also came to terms with reality.

"It seems that my talent for cultivating magic is not very strong. The reason why I was able to cultivate the extremely difficult spell, Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique, in a short time was because the spell was extremely compatible with me."

Now that they've switched to a less suitable soul-suppressing technique, it's become much more difficult to cultivate.

"If the Soul-Suppressing Technique is unreliable, then we'll have to resort to some unorthodox methods."

[The second day of the dream]

Jiang Chen began to follow the plan he had executed more than 300 times before: he went to the pill shop of the Hundred Arts Alliance and provoked Black Wolf.

In order to see his old friend Yan Feng, he even went out of his way to buy expensive elixirs.

After meeting Yan Feng, the subsequent path was the same as what I had experienced before.

Yan Feng took the initiative to recruit him, and Jiang Chen said he would consider it.

[Day 3 of the dream]

Yan Feng brought Black Wolf to visit Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen welcomed Black Wolf into the house, then activated the formation and confronted Black Wolf directly.

Just like the previous three hundred or so simulations, Black Wolf made a direct move, intending to kill Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen was already very familiar with his attack methods.

Jiang Chen barely managed to dodge the Black Wolf's sneak attack by simply shifting his body slightly.

Then, Jiang Chen drew his long sword again, transforming into a blood-red shadow as he fought against the black wolf.

Black Wolf made more than ten attacks in a row, but he couldn't even touch Jiang Chen once.

On the contrary, every time Jiang Chen made a move, he was able to leave a knife mark on Black Wolf.

Some were blocked by his soft armor, while others were directly cut through his skin.

Black Wolf grew increasingly frustrated as the fight progressed: "What kind of tricks are you using? It's as if you knew all my moves beforehand."

"Moreover, your escape technique and swordsmanship are exactly the same as mine."

Jiang Chen chuckled inwardly: 'I've tried to kill you over three hundred times; I know exactly what move you're going to make the moment you raise your hand.'

However, he didn't explain, but just sneered: "Why ask so many questions? You should just give up."

Before he could finish speaking, Black Wolf felt a wave of dizziness. He cursed, "You actually poisoned the knife! Despicable!"

After saying that, his limbs went weak and he collapsed to the ground.

Jiang Chen sighed: "When dealing with powerful opponents, unorthodox methods are more effective."

He had only just mastered the Soul Suppression Technique and couldn't unleash much of its power yet.

The only way to weaken Black Wolf's advantage in spiritual strength is to use poison.

However, this time the poison he used was not the Soul-Severing Powder, but the Bewitching Powder.

This poison will not kill a person, but it will affect their soul, causing them to fall into a deep sleep for a long time.

Seeing the black wolf fall, Jiang Chen immediately used the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique.

A black streak of light suddenly appeared in front of him and went straight into the black wolf's forehead.

After the black streak of light entered the black wolf's sea of ​​consciousness, it instantly transformed into a phantom of a nightmare demon.

At this moment, Jiang Chen discovered that he could switch to the perspective of the Nightmare Demon's phantom.

Before him lay a dark space. Apart from a semi-transparent phantom of a black wolf, there was nothing else; this phantom was the black wolf's soul.

Jiang Chen manipulated the Nightmare Demon phantom, which opened its mouth and exhaled a cloud of black mist, enveloping the Black Wolf's soul.

In an instant, the black wolf's soul began to convulse, as if it were enduring immense pain.

Then, transparent bubbles flew out of his soul.

Upon closer inspection, one could see human figures moving within these bubbles.

"These bubbles must be Black Wolf's memories. We just need to let the Nightmare Demon's phantom enter one of the bubbles to glimpse this memory."

These memories can even be altered to some extent, thereby changing a person's mindset and turning them into a puppet.

Unfortunately, the Nightmare Bewitching Mind Technique he cultivated was incomplete; it could only peer into memories and slightly alter them, but could not change a person's mind.

Thinking of this, Jiang Chen immediately manipulated the Nightmare Demon phantom to explore these memories and search for something of value.

Wisps of black mist flew out from the Nightmare Demon's body and went straight into the numerous bubbles.

Then, countless pieces of information flooded into Jiang Chen's consciousness, and he felt a splitting headache.

He immediately struck, beheading the black wolf, before calming himself and selecting useful information from the vast amount of memories.

"Fortunately, the Nightmare Bewitching Technique only allows me to obtain the opponent's more profound memories. If every trivial matter could be spied upon, that vast amount of memory would instantly drain my divine consciousness."

"From now on, when using this Nightmare Bewitching Technique, I'll try to avoid opponents who are much older. Their memories are too numerous; they'll easily overwhelm me."

He quickly found something that interested him in Black Wolf's memories.

"It turns out that Black Wolf's real name is Xiao Lang, and he really was an outer disciple of the Golden Cauldron Sect. However, after he joined the Golden Cauldron Sect, he did not join any outside faction."

Instead, they were seduced by the direct descendants of the Jin family and sided with the direct line faction.

As a rogue cultivator who sought refuge with the direct lineage, he was naturally treated like a dog by the people of the direct lineage.

Afterwards, he participated in the competition for the Foundation Establishment Pill, and with his years of experience in battle, he successfully obtained one.

He originally thought he could break through to the Foundation Establishment realm with the help of this Foundation Establishment Pill and become a mid-level cultivator of the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Unexpectedly, in the eyes of those direct disciples, these ordinary disciples were nothing more than dogs they kept.

The Foundation Establishment Pills that were seized should also belong to the direct disciples.

Afterwards, the Jin family member demanded the Foundation Establishment Pill. But Black Wolf was a rogue cultivator who had fought his way up; how could he be willing to hand over the Foundation Establishment Pill? He refused outright.

The Jin family members then used their elders' power to falsely accuse Black Wolf of colluding with the evil cult.

Black Wolf, unable to defend himself, killed the Jin family member and rebelled against the Golden Cauldron Sect.

Unfortunately, he was seriously injured during his escape, which damaged his foundation. Even with the Foundation Establishment Pill, he was unable to successfully establish his foundation.
