Chapter 4 The Nightmare World

After confirming that this shadow beast was indeed brought into the dream from reality, Xing Tianyu was surprised and immediately decided to conduct some research on it.

Xing Tianyu first issued some instructions to the shadow beast, moving, still, and transforming. Just like in reality, the shadow beast did it very obediently, and the profound connection between him and the shadow beast still exists.

Then Xing Tianyu tried to let the shadow beast merge with him, but this time it failed. In the nightmare space, the shadow beast seemed to have the collision volume and could not be integrated into Xing Tianyu's body at all. Xing Tianyu could even feel a clear touch when he reached out to touch it.

Discovering this strange fact made Xing Tianyu fall into deep thought.

Why can the shadow beast enter his dream? If the shadow beast could enter the nightmare space, why didn’t Victor’s shadow beast appear in his dream?

However, when Victor finally broke out, some kind of black light appeared on his body. I don’t know if it was related to the Shadow Beast, or because Victor’s dream was not stable, the Shadow Beast could not enter? Although there were many guesses about Victor’s Shadow Beast, with Victor’s death, these guesses could not get the answer in the end.

Then Xing Tianyu thought of the second question.

If the shadow beast can enter the nightmare world, then what is its principle? Xing Tianyu quickly thought of a possibility. Perhaps because the shadow world creatures themselves are spiritual creatures without material entities, they can exist in the nightmare universe that also belongs to the spiritual world. Xing Tianyu speculated that due to the powerful mental power of the Nightmare Lord and the stability of the nightmare space, the shadow world creatures provide a spiritual channel for the shadow world, so that they can enter the nightmare world with their hosts.

However, this brings up the third question: If the shadow world creatures can enter the nightmare world, then can other spiritual creatures in other worlds be able to do it?

Xing Tianyu carefully recalled all the related alien worlds introduced in the book of Another World. In addition to the Shadow World, the creatures in the spiritual world seem to be purely spiritual creatures. So can the spirits also enter the nightmare world? He thinks it is most likely because the spirits themselves are something similar to human souls, and like the creatures in the Shadow World, they also have the ability to occupy the human body. In many stories in the past, aren’t there any legends like ghosts hiding dreams?

But if spirits and shadow creatures can really enter dreams, then what does this mean?

Xing Tianyu vaguely felt that he seemed to have discovered a key problem. What would happen if he performed a summoning ceremony in the Nightmare World?

Although things with physical entities cannot be summoned because there is no space to accommodate them, can creatures in the shadow world and the spiritual world be summoned directly into the nightmare world by themselves?

But even if he can summon, he must have a book from another world.

Almost subconsciously, he instinctively tried to transform into a book from another world.

A white light flashed, and a book from another world appeared in his hands.

Xing Tianyu thought that it was really transformed, but is this book of the different world transformed into the same book as it is?

He hesitated to open the cover of this fake book of another world and turned to the first page. However, when he saw the book of another world, he was shocked. The contents of this book of another world were actually exactly the same as the texts on the book of another world in reality.

In fact, in reality, he often tried to recall the content of the book of Another World again, but every time he failed, the copied things were completely twisted and could not tell what it was. However, in the dream, the book of Another World he transformed into was really using the ancient text of Sakadum to tell the origin of the Book of Another World. At this moment, the content of the Book of Another World suddenly appeared in his mind, as if this information had been stored in his mind, extremely clear. Looking at the Sakadum text in the book, Xing Tianyu was very excited. He did not try to start the summoning ceremony because he was not sure whether such a ritual could be performed in the Nightmare World. What he thought was that since he could completely remember the content of the Book of Another World, he should be able to copy it when he woke up.

He read the first page of the Book of Another World several times, making sure he could remember it clearly, then woke up immediately, climbed out of the bed, Xing Tianyu took out a blank notebook and a pen from the bookcase, and then copied it immediately. However, after writing a few strokes, he found something was wrong. The handwriting he wrote was completely twisted and could not recognize what he was writing. When he recalled the content of the Book of Another World, he remembered the contents clearly, but the Sakadum words became blurred like ghost drawing talismans.

Xing Tianyu grabbed his head hard, rushed his face with cold water, closed his eyes and pondered. He tried various methods several times over and over again. In the end, Xing Tianyu had to admit that it seemed that he could not record the damn words.

What the hell is this? Why can you remember it clearly in your dreams, but you can't remember it in reality?

He fell into thinking again, and soon he had a speculation that in order to study Nightmare Space, he had read a lot of books about the subconscious before.

Generally speaking, dreams (nightmare space) are composed of subconscious minds, and human subconscious minds often know more than subjective consciousness.

For example, if a person has watched a movie, his subconscious mind has already remembered all the pictures and lines in it, but his subjective consciousness may not even remember several characters in it clearly. Only when he is needed, he will try to recall it or be reminded will he suddenly remember the contents in it.

And this is the magic of the subconscious.

Sometimes, people dream of things that have happened many years ago in their dreams. Maybe they think they have been forgotten, but they truly emerge in their dreams.

Xing Tianyu felt that the Sakadum text should use some principle, which makes human subjective consciousness unable to remember and retell such texts. Only the subconscious can do it. Therefore, in the nightmare space composed of the subconscious, he can transform into a book of another world. However, in the real world, he will be completely rested.

Well, the reason seems to be that I have figured it out, so that I can only summon in the Nightmare Space now?

Entering the nightmare space again, Xing Tianyu transformed into a summoning array in the open space, and then began to recite the Spirit-Starting Mantra.

The Spirit-Starting Spell soon took effect, but looking at the lit summoning array, Xing Tianyu did not really summon it.

In reality, he summoned a monster and could not fight against him, but he could still run away. In the nightmare space, he had no place to run. If he couldn't fight against him, he would be dead.

Moreover, summoning creatures in the Shadow and Spiritual Realms does not seem to be of any benefit to him. If he is brought to the ghost, he will cry to death.

Sighing, he erased the book again.

In the next few days, Xing Tianyu continued to cultivate his shadow beast. With the continuous cultivation of shadow energy, the shadow beast in his body grew stronger and stronger. He also gave the shadow beast a name called coal balls, because when it did not deform and maintain its original form, it really looked like a black ball of coal balls.

Now, he can use Darkness to sneak for three or four hours in a row, or use the Dark Cloud twice, or the Black Tentacle four times, or the Shadow of the Body twice (if the Shadow of the Body itself is cancelled, he can use it repeatedly many times).

He has basically mastered the shadow magic, and the next step is to slowly cultivate the shadow beast.
