Chapter418-The Matryoshka Forces
What White Lotus Sanctuary? He had never even heard of it.
It must have come into existence after he left the new God Realm.
“I’ve told you everything I know about the sword scar,” Brown said. Explore more at My Virtual Library Empire
Daniel fell into silence.
If he wanted to investigate the sword scar, he would probably have to seek out the elder who had imprinted it.
“By the way, what’s the name of the elder related to this sword scar?”
“Wood,” Brown replied.
“If you want to find him, I suggest looking for the Chief first because Elder Wood… is considered an extremely revered figure.”
Daniel nodded, indicating that he had taken note.
“Alright, let’s put the sword scar issue aside for now. There’s something else.”
As he spoke, Daniel used the Power of Dream to conjure an image of the cauldron.
“Have you seen this before?”
“Of course! This cauldron is a replica, usually placed in lower-tier forces as part of secret realms.”
Brown knew this well.
“This… was crafted by another elder. And the source… is still White Lotus Sanctuary.”
Daniel paused at Brown’s words.
He hadn’t expected both items to trace back to White Lotus Sanctuary.
It seemed…
He had to visit this so-called sanctuary.
One way or another, the clues surrounding Crossbridge World and Riverside City were likely connected to White Lotus Sanctuary.
Then, Daniel gathered more information about White Lotus Sanctuary from Brown.
And he discovered something interesting.
This place…
Was like a matryoshka doll.
If Thousand Suns Hall had been nurtured by Blue Jade Guild, then Blue Jade Guild was, in turn, one of the forces fostered by White Lotus Sanctuary.
Layer after layer.
A giant nested structure.
“If you can find White Lotus Sanctuary, then all your doubts might finally be answered,” Brown suggested.
Daniel naturally intended to go there.
But first, he needed to find the two elders.
“What’s the name of the elder who crafted the cauldron?”
“Falco. These two elders have a close relationship—if you find one, you’ll likely find the other.”
Brown added, “I should warn you, these two are… not your typical elders. They’ve distanced themselves from worldly affairs for many years.”
Daniel shifted the topic.
“I’ve finished asking my questions. There’s one more thing I’d like to ask of you.”
“Go ahead.”
Daniel glanced at Alice.
“She may be a bit unruly, but I’ve taught her for some time. Once she joins Blue Jade Guild, I’d appreciate it if you could look after her.”
Alice hadn’t expected Daniel to still remember her!
Having Brown, the Domain Lord, look after her…
That meant she could practically walk sideways in Ancient Abode Domain!
This guy was incredible!
“You don’t need to worry about that. She has the strength to pass the trials without issue,” Brown assured him.
Daniel nodded.
“There’s one more thing. I have an old friend’s descendant—he doesn’t need special attention, just a place in the library.”
As he spoke, Daniel used the Power of Dream to project his original appearance.
Alice was momentarily stunned.
So that’s what this was about!
Brown frowned.
“The library is an important place in Blue Jade Guild. Some divine spells are stored there—I can’t allow him to touch those.”
“That’s fine. He’s not interested in magic or divine spells. He only likes history books.”
“In that case, it’s acceptable,” Brown conceded.
“As thanks, keep this,” Daniel said, handing over a crystal.
Brown took it, then froze.
He immediately recognized what was inside!
“This is… a divine spell?!”
Who exactly was this man?
Giving away a divine spell so casually?
“Alright, I won’t linger here any longer. I’ll be going now.”
With that, Daniel left Brown’s dreamscape, taking Alice with him.
He had accomplished what he came for.
The answers he sought were now in his hands.
Now, it was time for Daniel to verify and pursue them himself.
As Daniel vanished, Brown remained in a daze, even a little disappointed.
A person who could casually gift a divine spell…
And one that was perfectly suited to him at that…
Such a person…
Was anything but ordinary!
Brown now held a painting.
It was Daniel’s portrait.
Since Daniel had mentioned that the young man was an old friend’s descendant…
Perhaps it was worth investigating just who he really was.
Inside the Dream Realm, Daniel and Alice returned.
Daniel had now mastered the rules of the Dream Realm, allowing him to come and go freely.
“Big brother, you’re way too amazing…” Alice muttered, still in shock.
She had never imagined that she would leave a Domain Lord’s dream unscathed.
And not only that…
She had even earned his protection.
This was… unreal.
“Weren’t you just saying you wanted to distance yourself from me?”
“That was because… I didn’t know how strong you were! From now on, if you say east, I’ll never go west!”
Alice joked.
“Alright, it’s time for you to head back.”
“Wait, big brother, are you really going to find those elders? I can help you!”
“You? Get some rest.”
Daniel waved his hand, and countless dream bubbles appeared before him.
Alice even spotted Brown’s dreamscape among them.
“This is…”
Compared to the dream bubbles Alice could enter, the ones Daniel controlled were much larger.
“Alright, go digest what you’ve gained today. And remember—never enter someone’s dream carelessly again. At the very least, find out who they are first.”
“Got it, got it! Thanks, big brother Daniel!”
With that, Alice vanished.
This had been a huge win for her.
Most importantly…
She had soothed Brown’s dream to some extent.
And Brown was a true High God!
Put simply—Alice had hit the jackpot.
Daniel left the Dream Realm.
Outside, the sky had already brightened.
This journey into the Dream Realm had been critical.
Nina’s Dream Realm and the Dream Healer class system she had built…
Were incredibly well-structured.
If things continued like this, she might really achieve what she had envisioned.
Daniel felt refreshed.
Even though he hadn’t slept, thanks to the Power of Dream, both his mind and body felt completely rested—as if he had just woken up from a perfect sleep.
Just after washing up, there was a knock on the door.
Outside stood a Thousand Suns Hall elder and Freya, both looking grim.
“I just received some news—bad news!”
“What happened?” Daniel asked, puzzled.
For the elder to look this distressed, it had to be something serious.
“I just found out… the elder overseeing this trial from Blue Jade Guild is actually from our Thousand Suns Hall!”
“Isn’t that a good thing?” Daniel asked, confused.
“No! That elder may be from Thousand Suns Hall, but their relationship with us is absolutely terrible! Irreparably bad!”
“So for this Blue Jade Guild trial, he might deliberately target Thousand Suns Hall!”
The elder’s face was full of concern.
“Blue Jade Guild wouldn’t allow that, would they?” Daniel asked.
“No. In fact, they would be happy to see it happen!”
“Adversity,” the elder sighed, “is the best way to test a genius’s potential.”
