651: Chapter 414: Tian Ye_2 651: Chapter 414: Tian Ye_2 Xu Yuan felt the changes within the will-spirit in his mind and raised a hand to point at his forehead, counter-questioning, “Now my cultivation level is shallow, and devouring the essence of your Soul Origin won’t cause you too much harm, but in the future, as my cultivation level gradually increases, can I continue to refine myself by devouring your Soul Origin?”
Tianyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and after a mont’s contemplation, she asked in a crisp voice,
“Is that secret technique of yours only capable of plundering?”
Xu Yuan nodded and casually said,
“Pretty much.
If I don’t master the thod to refine the soul, as my cultivation grows and the will-spirit expands, the Celestial Fates Divine Soul refined from this devouring will likely be gradually diluted away.”
The accompanying will-spirit secret technique of the Blood Essence teoring Art indeed can extrely domineeringly devour other people’s will-spirits, assimilating their characteristics for its own use, but it is a one-ti thing.
The Celestial Fates Divine Soul that is devoured indeed allows Xu Yuan to possess its characteristics, but that does not an he can directly cultivate it afterwards.
The newly refined will-spirit remains an ordinary one, and if he doesn’t master the true thod of cultivating the Celestial Fates Divine Soul, by the ti he advances to the Primordial level, or even to the stage of Mortal Transcendence, it’s likely that the Celestial Fates Divine Soul will have been diluted to insignificance.
While speaking, Xu Yuan leaped forward and landed on the wooden board floor beside the bed, casually taking out a robe from the Suru Ring to drape over himself.
Tianyan did not avoid looking and simply watched him get dressed.
Xu Yuan felt sowhat uncomfortable, but after a brush of mories from the illusionary realm passed by, he let the Saintess watch.
We are practically an old married couple, why care about such things?
After fastening the inner lining of the robe, Xu Yuan seed to rember sothing and turned back to look at the girl still standing on the bed, asking aloud,
“Tianyan, about that Tian Ye…
Did you find out anything?”
“Tian Ye?”
Tianyan seed to dislike the na, frowning as she asked, “Didn’t you say you only recalled so deeply etched mories?”
A scene flashed subconsciously in Xu Yuan’s mind.
The Great Desert’s lone smoke, the setting sun like blood.
The wild sand disrupted her raven hair, the enchanting girl with golden pupils pierced through the chest by a longsword, blood on her lips, but the smile on her lips was still dazzlingly bright.
[Xu Yuan, this ti I won…]
“….”
After a mont of silence, listening to the sound of the rain outside the loft, Xu Yuan chuckled and shook his head, saying rather scoundrelly,
“How could I not have a deep impression of that enchantress?”
Tianyan looked at his expression, her mouth twitching almost imperceptibly,
“Always flirting with others.”
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s expression beca odd,
“Just an enemy, are you really that bothered by it?”
“Indeed an enemy,” Tianyan said indifferently, her voice a bit colder, “An enemy who has entangled with you for over a decade.”
Xu Yuan pondered over the jealousy spread across the girl’s countenance, hesitated for a long mont, then asked,
“It’s indeed been over a decade, but as I recall…
I don’t seem to have slept with her, right?”
Apart from the girl in front of him, in the mories from the illusionary realm, the one who made the deepest impression was this Saintess who was in fact an enchantress called Tian Ye.
But in those mories, there wasn’t a hint of intimacy.
After Sword Casting Valley, every ti he t her, their encounters were almost always bloody.
He had been stabbed by Tian Ye three tis, and that enchantress was also ruthlessly impaled by him twice, the last ti he had almost directly killed her.
Seeing his expression, Tianyan opened her mouth, but in the end, she only curled her lips into a cold smirk,
“You’re asking ?
I haven’t been with you all the ti, how would I know whether you have had any improper relations with that woman?”
Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle,
“The woman has been dead for twenty thousand years, you should have so limits to your jealousy, right?”
“Hmph.” Tianyan sniffed disdainfully, turning her face away.
“Enough.”
Xu Yuan smiled and brought the topic back to business, “About Tian Ye, if it’s inconvenient to talk about, then let’s forget it.”
That enchantress who held the form of ‘Tianyan’ twenty thousand years ago but was not granted the na ‘Tianyan’.
Initially, within the illusionary realm, Xu Yuan did not know the subsequent developnts, but now recalling them, he realized there were many improprieties.
People within the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm were of two types.
The first type consisted of those who died in the disaster orchestrated by Yuchu and whose Prival Spirits were collected.
The second type was constructed from the mories of those whose Prival Spirits were collected, a cross-simulation.
The two types weren’t much different in their interactions, both appearing as real as any person, but inherently, there was a fundantal difference.
The forr, upon being killed, would have a strange wisp of will-spirit fluctuation flash by, while the latter would not.
Tian Ye, as an “NPC” capable of awakening on its own, was certainly the forr.
But the issue lies in the fact that the last image simulated by Yuchu depicted a great calamity of the world where the Heaven’s Watchtower Master of that generation wasn’t Tian Ye, but rather Tianrui, who they had killed at the beginning within the Qionghua Sect.
This was very strange.
It wasn’t that Tian Ye hadn’t beco the Heaven’s Watchtower Master, because in that Illusionary Realm, the temptress herself was underplaying her abilities to avoid taking the step to becoming the Master.
Therefore,
it’s quite normal for Tian Ye to choose to live for herself in the actual history.
What was truly strange was,
since Tian Ye hadn’t beco the Master nor participated in the celebration held by the Qionghua Sect, why did her Prival Spirit appear in that Illusionary Realm?
However, Xu Yuan was actually just purely curious about this matter.
After all, no matter what, the temptress had been dead for twenty thousand years, and further investigation would yield no benefit whatsoever.
With this thought in mind, Xu Yuan walked slowly to the tea tray in the room, sat down and began to pour and drink tea by himself.
In the midst of silence, Tianyan silently walked over and sat down opposite him with a plop.
Washing the tea, dusting the lid, returning the pot, and savoring the tea.
Following a set of familiar processes, Xu Yuan poured a cup for Tianyan, pushed it in front of her, and slowly spoke again:
“You have sothing to say?”
Tianyan, staring at the lightly rippling tea in the porcelain cup:
“Last ti…
I went with my master to the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm and found so traces related to Tian Ye.”
A flash of astonishnt crossed Xu Yuan’s eyes:
“The ti you ran into my uncle?”
Upon hearing this, Tianyan imdiately glared at him fiercely.
She hadn’t forgotten that she was almost beheaded by that bastard’s uncle.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan understood and showed a hint of embarrassnt.
It seed Tianyan was holding him accountable for that event.
Picking on the soft persimmon was essential, as Tianyan couldn’t beat his uncle, Feng Jiuxuan, she naturally had to find trouble with him, soone adept at Soul Condensation.
But there was nothing he could do, as at the ti, he neither had the mory nor knew it would be such a coincidence to encounter her.
Xu Yuan looked away and coughed lightly:
“I’m sorry, back then…”
“I’m not blaming you.”
Tianyan pursed her lips and smiled, seeming to have already let go of her anger, and spoke softly, “It seems that Tian Ye entered the Qionghua Secret Realm only after the calamity had occurred…”
“Wait a minute.”
Xu Yuan frowned slightly, instinctively interrupting, “Tian Ye told in the realm that when the position of Heaven’s Watchtower Master was determined, in order to ensure the Yantian Art’s legitimate singularity, all other Saint Heirs and Saintesses would be executed.”
The position of Heaven’s Watchtower Master was more bloody than that of an emperor in the current world; it was imperative for the Heaven’s Watchtower to guarantee the uniqueness of the Yantian Art.
To prevent Saint Heirs and Saintesses who mastered the Yantian Art from having other intents, execution was the best option.
Tianyan snorted softly and shook her head:
“That woman Tian Ye had the temperant of ‘Tianyan’, and she had many ways to feign death and escape the calamity.”
“Is that so…”
Xu Yuan nodded in understanding, for the Life Substitution Secret Technique that Tianyan could use in an instant was already very strange; given ample ti to prepare, feigning death would not be difficult.
With this thought, Xu Yuan continued to ask:
“What did she enter the Qionghua Secret Realm for?”
“Not sure.”
Tianyan gently shook her head, paused for a mont, and then continued, “But one thing that can be confird is that she seed to have taken the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow with her.”
“…..”
Xu Yuan’s pupils suddenly contracted, as he had not forgotten the enormous Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow in the Illusionary Realm that had attempted to possess him.
Images of the vast entity flashed through his mind.
He realized sothing was amiss:
“How could a colossal being like the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow possibly be taken into the Qionghua Secret Realm?”
