Upon hearing Xuan Feng’s tragic tale, Chen Xuan and Ji Tingsha fell silent. If Xuan Feng had dared to fabricate such a story, it could be easily debunked by simply asking Zu Zhitang. Therefore, Chen Xuan and Ji Tingsha let go of their suspicions, at least outwardly, and temporarily ceased to doubt him.
Ji Tingsha then briefly described to Xuan Feng how she and Chen Xuan had twice been pulled into a dream.
After listening, Xuan Feng’s expression grew graver. "The fact that you were forcibly pulled into the dream a second time while already awake suggests that the believer’s control over the dream state has leveled up. Furthermore, the frozen wasteland you entered after shattering the secret palace must have been the second layer of the dream created by that believer. Without external intervention, it is extremely difficult for a cultivator trapped in a second-layer dream to escape on their own. Have you two ever studied the lore of dreams?"
