Let Me Explain, Fairy
Chapter 123 - 112 Realm

Chapter 123: Chapter 112 Realm

The ninetieth level is roughly equivalent to just entering the Mortal Transcendence realm, and this cultivation level might have slowly dropped due to the erosion of tens of thousands of years.

As a Second Grade Origin Initial, Tianyan couldn’t defeat that crazy woman, which didn’t surprise Xu Yuan.

He guessed that the death of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree had triggered some reaction, causing that crazy woman to run out from the "BOSS room," and Tianyan was directly blocked inside the Sakura Leech Lake.

At this thought, Xu Yuan felt a vague sense of excitement.

He wanted to help.

Of course,

it was not to help Tianyan, but to help the crazy woman kill Tianyan.

He and Ran Qingmo were now wearing a layer of skin, one as the Saintess of Qionghua Sect, the other as the Great Elder of Qionghua Sect; perhaps they could use these identities to lend a hand.

Although he had found his "picnic" on the grass with Tianyan rather pleasant these days, and the other party didn’t show any intention of attacking him for the time being, who could know about the future?

From some previous information and the recent conversation with the Saint’s Remnant Soul, Xu Yuan roughly deduced Tianyan’s purpose in finding him.

Jiatiange, hidden in the shadows, was not merely predicting the future.

The fact that Tianyan personally appeared to lure Ran Qingmo to kidnap him was evidence.

They were interfering with the future, steering it towards what they wanted to see.

After the calamity brought by the alien specters,

the world had already shifted from being divided among the Sects to being under the rule of the Imperial dynasty.

For Jiatiange, which had declined to its present state, to restore its former prosperity, it would need to go through another reshuffling, and the behavior of the Prime Minister’s Mansion to reorganize the Sects happened to align with their interests.

Steering events from the shadows, but in such a situation, Xu Yuan, this variable, suddenly appeared.

Perhaps due to the time travel, or perhaps due to something else, he disrupted the future that Jiatiange wanted to see, rendering the future that the Yantian Art could predict no longer clear.

Thus, Tianyan came to his side.

Old Man Luo had said that Jiatiange had two ways to deal with variables.

Recruitment and death.

Now that Jiatiange was no longer as prosperous as in the past, what could they offer to make him, the Third Young Master of the Prime Minister’s Mansion, willingly accept recruitment?

To have Tianyan seduce him?

Xu Yuan thought that the most likely reason for Tianyan following him was to establish a point of reference, continuously assessing the impact of eliminating him, the variable, on the future.

Although he couldn’t be one hundred percent certain of this speculation, Xu Yuan was one hundred percent sure that allowing Tianyan to continue following him would definitely bode no good.

Seizing the current opportunity to take out Tianyan was undoubtedly the safest decision.

After a moment of contemplation, Xu Yuan unsealed the Saint’s Remnant Soul’s ability to speak:

"Hey, Old Man Luo, I’m going to ask you something."

"You’re asking me something?"

The voice of the Saint’s Remnant Soul sounded rather somber, "Nowadays, young people, when they don’t need you, they just silence you. Only when they need something do they remember this old man."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes and asked directly:

"Is the Yantian Art strong in combat?"

"What do you need it for?" the Saint’s Remnant Soul asked leisurely.

Xu Yuan replied softly:

"The crazy woman I mentioned earlier should be considered to be in the Mortal Transcendence realm."

"A First Grade puppet? The Qionghua Sect actually has a First Grade puppet?"

The voice of the Saint’s Remnant Soul was slightly surprised, then quickly caught on and said cheerfully:

"Xu lad, are you thinking of using this First Grade puppet to kill Tianyan?"

"Pretty much," replied Xu Yuan.

"Dismiss the idea immediately. A Mortal Transcendence puppet is unlikely to be a match for Tianyan."

"What?" Xu Yuan felt a bit astonished.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul nonchalantly said in a soft voice, "Even a true First Grade Mortal Transcendence might not be a match for Tianyan, let alone a spirit puppet."

"..."

Xu Yuan’s heart sank, and he stared at the Saint’s Remnant Soul without speaking.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul sighed lightly and spoke slowly, "The reason a First Grade Mortal Transcendence is called ’Transcendence’ is that they can deploy a Dao field... Kid, don’t tell me you don’t know what a Dao field is?"

Xu Yuan remained unruffled, "I’ve never cultivated to First Grade. How would I know what a Dao field is?"

The Saint’s Remnant Soul smacked his lips and said in a low voice, "It’s roughly equivalent to creating a domain that suits oneself."

The Saint’s Remnant Soul then glanced at Ran Qingmo, "Take this little girl for example. If she could cultivate to First Grade, her Dao field would probably be an icy world of snow."

Saying this, the Saint’s Remnant Soul steered the topic back, "And a spirit puppet, this kind of puppet without spiritual intelligence, simply couldn’t possess a Dao field. Their strength lies only in the physical robustness and their capacity to utilize Origin Qi to reach the Mortal Transcendence benchmark."

"Moreover, Xu kid, you’re underestimating Yantian Art too much. Just with one Chapter of the Heavenly Word Mantra, one could achieve invincibility on the same level, not to mention Tianyan who has learned all four Chapters."

After a pause, the Saint’s Remnant Soul’s tone became slightly more solemn, "In terms of actual combat, let alone a spirit puppet, even a real First Grade Mortal Transcendence might not be able to handle Tianyan."

Xu Yuan frowned, "You mean Tianyan can fight beyond his grade, from Second Grade to challenge First Grade?"

The Saint’s Remnant Soul took a deep breath, his tone becoming indifferent once again, "That’s roughly the idea, yes."

"...." Xu Yuan’s breathing became slightly constricted.

After a moment of silence, the Saint’s Remnant Soul sighed heavily, his voice earnest, "Xu kid, don’t be too superstitious about cultivation levels. Cultivation levels are also set by humans. If victory could be determined solely by the level of cultivation, then upon meeting, shouldn’t one just reveal their cultivation level, and the one with the lower level commit suicide?"

As he spoke, the Saint’s Remnant Soul glanced again at Ran Qingmo, who was quietly listening, and chuckled lowly, "When we were at your place, I had the spatial ability to take Qin Mo away from some Second Grade Origin Initials, but she froze us with a single sword strike. Aren’t you curious about the reason?"

"At the Primordial and Mortal Transcendence levels, there is indeed a gap, and a significant one, but in fact, both sides have the ability to annihilate each other."

"Take your eldest brother Xu Changge’s swordsmanship, for example. Under specific conditions, like an ambush, some relatively strong Mortal Transcendence might not even have the chance to resist before being killed by him."

"On the other hand, let’s take the Second Grade Origin Initial who wanted to save me and Qin Mo above your house as an example,"

"Do you know why it took your big brother so long to kill them? He obviously could ’overcome a level’ to kill a Mortal Transcendence."

"..." Xu Yuan fell silent.

The Saint’s Remnant Soul chuckled lightly, "Because even though your big brother had the power to instantly kill them, with their trump cards not yet revealed, those two also had the power to kill him. In battle, many things can hinge on the smallest details, and one must be cautious to the utmost."

Xu Yuan roughly understood the Saint’s Remnant Soul’s point.

It was like the games from his previous life.

It would be very easy for a level eighteen assassin with six godly equipment pieces to kill a level sixteen assassin with four godly equipment pieces, but vice versa, the four-godly-equipped could also instantly kill the six-godly-equipped, only the difficulty would be much greater.

After a pause,

Xu Yuan looked back at Ran Qingmo and asked, "Ran Qingmo, was that madwoman a spirit puppet?"

Ran Qingmo pondered briefly, then shook her head, "She shouldn’t be. Earlier, when I used the Sky-Peering Formation, it seemed like she was... deploying a Dao field."
