Chapter 183: Dream Teleportation

"Mr. Su?" Mu Qing knocked on the door, but the room remained silent.

She pushed it open, only to find the room empty. There was no sign of Su Mu.

A look of confusion crossed Mu Qing's face. Where had Mr. Su gone? He had spent the last few days sleeping in his room, so why wasn't he here today?

Unseen by her, Su Mu stood right in front of her, watching her with great interest.

"Miss Mu?" He even called out to her, but she didn't react at all, as if she hadn't heard a thing.

Su Mu stepped closer and reached out to touch her, but his hand passed right through her body.

He smiled faintly at the sight. "Interesting. Is this the dream's new ability after devouring the Divinity?"

He was experimenting with the dream's new ability. Previously, after he devoured the Primal Angel's Divinity, the dream had become real enough to forcefully drag the souls of ordinary people into it.

Now, after devouring the Divinities of the Celestial Sovereign of Longevity and the Sea God, the dream's realism had strengthened even further. Not only could it pull in souls, but physical bodies could enter it as well.

This unique dream was becoming more and more like a real world.

The reason Su Mu had vanished from reality was that his entire being had entered the Dream World.

Then, by overlaying the Dream World onto the Sea Kingdom, he had created this ghost-like state.

Simply put, under his control, the dream and reality completely overlapped. He appeared to walk freely through reality, but his true body remained hidden within the dream, undetectable by anyone.

"It seems this current dream state can't affect reality. As far as reality is concerned, I simply do not exist right now."

Su Mu's eyes flickered. He tried to project his mental energy through the boundary between dream and reality. Unsurprisingly, it slipped through without any resistance.

After all, this was his dream. Now that he could even pull physical bodies into it, extending his mental energy outward while inside was naturally a trivial matter.

A flood of inspiration regarding dream manipulation flashed through his mind.

Suddenly, Endless Demonic Sound activated.

"Miss Mu, did you need me for something?" Su Mu's gentle voice echoed through the empty room.

Startled, Mu Qing quickly spun around, only to find no one behind her. Astonished, her beautiful eyes darted around the room as she tried to find any trace of Su Mu, but she came up empty.

"Mr. Su? Where are you?"

"I'm right beside you."

Her astonishment grew. She even reached out to feel the air around her, but her hands touched nothing but empty space.

"Mr. Su, what is going on? Why can't I see you? Are you invisible?"

"I'm right here."

Before Mu Qing's stunned gaze, Su Mu's figure materialized out of thin air.

"Mr. Su, I never would have guessed you could turn invisible too."

Su Mu smiled faintly. "What did you need me for?"

Suppressing her shock, Mu Qing got straight to the point. "I'm going to return to the Real World soon. I've been feeling the faint signs of my return these past few days, so I came specifically to say goodbye.

"Mr. Su, thanks to you, we were able to break the Sea God's curse in this dream. Otherwise, I might truly have never been able to return."

Su Mu nodded, not surprised in the least. Lu Dongliang had already returned to reality yesterday.

Previously, this Nightmare had been shrouded by the Sea God's power, making it impossible for any nightmare apostle who entered to return. But now that he had depleted and devoured the Sea God's power, that shroud had naturally lifted.

"Mr. Su, you must already know that my Law is not Natural Breathing, but Breath of the Wood Spirit. I won't hide it anymore. I will definitely repay you for saving my life this time. Here is my contact information. If you ever need any Transcendent Potion in the future, you can contact me anytime."

Mu Qing handed over a small slip of paper, hesitating slightly before adding, "To be honest, I have quite a few enemies in reality, so I might change my contact info. But if circumstances allow, I'll let you know beforehand."

Su Mu didn't take the slip of paper. His current body was a fake, an illusion conjured by Myriad Phenomena.

"There's no need for contact info. When I need you, I will naturally contact you."

Mu Qing paused, wanting to ask how he would manage that. But thinking back to all of Su Mu's miraculous feats, she suddenly felt that contacting her shouldn't be too difficult for him, so she nodded in agreement.

"Right, once you get back, start preparing to brew the Ceaseless Recovery Transcendent Potion as my payment for this time. Once you're done brewing it, I will come collect it from you."

Mu Qing nodded. She opened her mouth to speak, only to find she couldn't make a sound. Looking down, she saw her body slowly turning transparent bit by bit. It was the sign of returning to reality.

Giving up on speaking, she simply waved at Su Mu before vanishing completely.

Su Mu naturally wouldn't let go of a humanoid Transcendent Potion warehouse with such incredible potential as Mu Qing. The reason he didn't want her contact info was that he had a much better method.

That was to communicate through dreams.

This was another of the dream's new abilities. It could build bridges to other dreams. No matter where Mu Qing was, as long as she still slept, Su Mu could contact her through the dream.

He could even achieve dream teleportation—invading someone else's dream with his own, and then stepping right out of their dream.

Just like now. The illusion of Su Mu inside the room shattered inch by inch.

Meanwhile, his true body in the Dream World instantly appeared beside Yang Dongqing. Though he couldn't teleport in reality, doing so in a dream was trivial, not to mention flying through the sky and burrowing into the earth.

At that moment, Yang Dongqing was busy lining his pockets. He had discovered a hoard of transcendent materials scavenged from the Sea Kingdom inside Hu Jie's vault. While they weren't particularly rare, they were still transcendent materials. Selling them off in the Real World would easily fetch hundreds of thousands, if not over a million.

Who knew where he had gotten a hold of a hide sack, but with his eyes shining brightly, he was frantically stuffing it full.

"With so many transcendent materials, think of how many dresses I can buy for Jasmine once I turn them into cash! Hahaha..."

"Can't you buy something else?" Su Mu's voice suddenly rang out from behind him.

"Holy shit!" Yang Dongqing jumped, nearly dropping the hide sack. He whipped his head around and snapped, "Do you not make a sound when you walk? You nearly scared me to death!"

Su Mu smiled faintly. It wasn't that he walked without making a sound; he simply hadn't walked at all. He had used dream teleportation to arrive here, and his true body stepping out of the dream created an effect identical to teleportation.

However, this kind of teleportation had one severe limitation: he could only do it once.

If he wanted to teleport again right now, he would have to sleep first, enter the Dream World, and control the dream and reality to overlap before he could teleport once more.
