In his dream, Gu Ming's consciousness slowly sank into the familiar environment of the underground cavern.
The auroras on the second sublevel were dreamlike and illusory, materializing with perfect clarity in his dream. They seemed as if sketched by an invisible hand—radiant and colorful, yet concealing a deadly threat.
Thanks to his real-world exploration experience, Gu Ming cautiously controlled the flow of his Spiritual Power in the dream, avoiding any significant drain.
He cleverly utilized the dream's unique "refresh" mechanism to rapidly scout ahead.
For instance, the moment the Patterned Ring Worm sensed an incoming Spiritual Attack from the Illusion Realm, Gu Ming would instantly send a mental command to restart the system's environmental simulation, resetting his position to the last checkpoint.
This allowed him to escape the forbidden zone of the Yichuan Ruins' Illusion Realm, essentially exploiting a bug to explore.
