What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real? - Chapter 367 - What! The Wives in My Dreams Are Real (Patreon) - Chapter 367 - Chapter 367 – Heavenly Dragon Cage, Falling Cloud Rod

In the Heavenly Realm, the three fishermen appeared vastly different in age.

One was elderly, one middle-aged, and one youthful.

It was hard to imagine these three would come together to fish.

However, their status was opposite to their outward appearances.

The youngest, Jiang Yun, was the leader of the trio.

The middle-aged, Cui Shenzhi, was the second-in-command.

The oldest, Chang Zhige, was the third.

Indeed, these three were the same fishermen Ye Yu had encountered in a previous dream simulation.

Chang Zhige picked up the broken fishing line and, with a strange expression, muttered, “What happened down in the mortal realm? Why are all our fishing lines snapping at the same time?”

Cui Shenzhi remained calm, saying nothing, his gaze turning to Jiang Yun, the eldest.

After a brief silence, Jiang Yun slowly put away his fishing rod.

“Since all the lines have snapped, there must be someone with great fortune appearing. There’s no point dwelling on it. Let’s call it quits for now.”

Hearing this, Chang Zhige immediately grew anxious.

“Big Brother, we were doing so well. How can we just quit like that?”

Jiang Yun gave him a sidelong glance.

“Have we not consumed enough fortune over the years? Don’t you feel it? The immortal energy in the Heavenly Realm is gradually recovering.”

“More and more big shots will be waking up soon.”

“Our situation won’t last long. If we keep going like this, the chances of being discovered are very high. I’m warning you—if you want to seek your own demise, that’s your choice. Don’t drag us down with you.”

The words, though softly spoken, carried a hint of threat.

Chang Zhige lowered his head, remaining silent.

Cui Shenzhi stepped in to smooth things over.

“Third Brother, don’t be angry. Big Brother is just concerned for our safety. Let’s put this matter to rest.”

“Mm, I understand,” Chang Zhige nodded, though his gaze lingered on his fishing rod, still filled with longing.

Long ago, a great calamity struck the Heavenly Realm.

Almost all immortals fell into slumber.

Over time, the immortal energy gradually recovered, awakening low-level immortals.

At that time, Jiang Yun was at the peak of True Immortal Realm. Chang Zhige and Cui Shenzhi were at the mid-stage of the True Immortal Realm.

They were scattered cultivators of the Heavenly Realm, relying on each other for support.

Upon awakening, they felt lost.

Jiang Yun suggested that greater risks often led to greater rewards.

In the chaotic period, most immortals remained asleep, so they decided to take a chance and see if they could gain anything.

Thus, the three wandered through the Heavenly Realm.

Years later, in the ruins of the Immortal Ascension Tower, they found three Heavenly Dragon Cages and the Falling Cloud Rod—top-grade immortal artifacts.

Had it been before the calamity, their cultivation levels wouldn’t even have granted them the right to gaze upon such treasures.

Now, however, they could possess them—this was nothing short of a dream come true.

Moreover, beside these immortal artifacts, there was an ancient text detailing their origins.

After examining them, Jiang Yun, Cui Shenzhi, and Chang Zhige understood the profound uses of the Dragon Cage and the Falling Cloud Rod.

Long ago, the Six Realms were still interconnected.

An immortal named Dong Xuanhe, from the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, used the Falling Cloud Rod to fish for mortal realm’s luck.

The method was simple. He would place a bait, and when the bait reached the mortal realm, it would transform into a Dao child (Taoist boy).

Those Taoist boys would then steal the cultivation and fortune of the beings they defeated.

Through the fishing line, their energy and fortune would be drawn into the Dragon Cage.

Once inside the cage, the captured energy would be converted and could be directly returned to the owner.

However, this method went against the Heavenly Dao.

Other immortals, who also had descendants in the mortal realm, were outraged.

They didn’t want their own descendants to be harmed.

Thus, they raised the banner of justice and slew Dong Xuanhe.

They planned to destroy both the Heavenly Dragon Cages and the Falling Cloud Rod.

However, the Immortal Ascension Pavilion claimed that once an immortal passed away, their deeds were gone with them. The artifacts, however, belonged to the sect.

If they want to destroy it, they will destroy it, why should outsiders do it?

Thus, the leader of the Immortal Ascension Pavilion, in front of everyone, pretended to destroy the Falling Cloud Rod and the Dragon Cages.

Only afterward did the other immortals leave in satisfaction, unaware that what they saw was a false display.

The Pavilion Master couldn’t bear to see these treasures destroyed. Instead, he secretly kept the real Dragon Cages and Falling Cloud Rod hidden.

Later, the Six Realms became disconnected.

With the Heavenly Dao watching, the Falling Cloud Rod naturally could no longer be used and was stored away.

Seeing this ancient text, Jiang Yun felt an overwhelming sense of loss.

In his eyes, these artifacts were definitely treasures capable of rapidly increasing one’s cultivation and defying fate.

Unfortunately, in this environment, they were useless.

Truly a waste of divine fortune.

Not only Jiang Yun, but Chang Zhige and Cui Shenzhi were also feeling restless.

With their talent, if they continued to cultivate in the Heavenly Realm, they would probably still be low-tier cultivators even after a hundred thousand years.

No one wanted to be trampled on for their whole life!

Cui Shenzhi pondered for a long time before speaking up. Since the Heavenly Realm was already in turmoil, did the Heavenly Dao still exist?

Why not try using the Falling Cloud Rod?

To Jiang Yun, this proposal seemed pointless.

Could the Heavenly Dao truly cease to exist?

Moreover, with the Six Realms disconnected, how could the Falling Cloud Rod possibly descend to the mortal realm?

Chang Zhige, however, thought that there was no harm in trying.

Since the other two were so persistent, Jiang Yun couldn’t say much more and reluctantly agreed.

The three of them traveled to the edge of the Heavenly River, finding a hidden corner to begin using the Cloud Falling Rod.

They attached a trace of their divine souls and immortal energy to the bait.

Then, using the Cloud Falling Rod, they cast it down.

The fishing line fell at an incredible speed, and even after two hours, it didn’t stop.

This brought immense joy to Jiang Yun and the others.

Over the next two days, their bait proved useful, harvesting fortune and cultivation from mortal realm cultivators, which flowed back up through the fishing line.

Through the Dragon Cage, this energy was refined and restored to themselves.

This gave them a sweet taste of success.

Focused on fishing from that point forward, they set up formation arrays to act as concealment and protection.

After all, this method disrupted the Heavenly Dao, and they didn’t want to meet the same fate as Dong Xuanhe.

However, there were certain things they didn’t understand.

For instance, they had no idea why the Falling Cloud Rod could penetrate the mortal realm. And why, when they attached their divine souls to the bait, could they not see anything in the mortal realm?

They could only rely on the bait to function freely.

But none of that mattered.

As long as they could obtain fortune and cultivation, it was all worthwhile.

Thus, the three of them continued fishing for over 20,000 years.

During this time, they used a total of seven baits.

Their cultivation skyrocketed.

Jiang Yun’s cultivation level rose to mid-stage Earth Immortal, while the other two reached the peak of Mystic Immortal.

Such effortless cultivation gains were almost too good to be true.

Yet, it seemed the time had come to bid farewell to such a perfect arrangement!

As they reminisced about their former days, Chang Zhige’s eyes gradually hardened.

Holding the Falling Cloud Rod tightly, he took one last glance at the spot where they had once sat before leaving with Jiang Yun and Cui Shenzhi.

…

Meanwhile, back at the Azure Cloud Sect, Ye Yu and Hongluan returned.

Throughout the journey, while Hongluan was filled with doubts, she chose not to voice them.

As she had said before, everyone has their secrets—why ask?

This brought a sense of peace to Ye Yu.

He admired Hongluan even more.

However, little did he know, Wuzhi Peak was more bustling than ever!
