Let Me Explain, Fairy
Chapter 139 - 122: No Source

Chapter 139: Chapter 122: No Source

The stream rippled gently, birds sang amid the fragrant blossoms, and the cicadas continued their drone.

An agreeable murmur arose above the clearing encircled by trees.

"Soul Fortification."

Within the pavilion,

once released, Tianyan immediately closed her eyes, circulated her energy with one hand for a few seconds, and cast the Heavenly Word Mantra to stabilize the poison pulled from the Enchantress Divine Flower and the Heavenly Seductive Poison.

As the sound faded,

the girl slowly opened her eyes, her golden pupils filled with disdain as if she were looking at a pervert:

"You really are shameless."

Xu Yuan responded with a slight smile, "Thank you for the compliment."

"No need to thank me. If you’d like to hear more, I can continue," Tianyan’s beautiful eyes narrowed, briefly shining with a flicker of killing intent.

"...."

Xu Yuan shrugged his shoulders, indicating she could go on.

He had seen the killing intent in Tianyan’s eyes. Xu Yuan did not doubt Tianyan’s desire to break free from these shackles, nor did he doubt her wish to tear him to pieces.

However, an enemy’s insults are the best praise, so he always liked to take them in full.

It was clear to him that Tianyan was keen to escape his constraints.

With enough information to ensure her own life safety, no one would be willing to remain at the mercy of another, let alone someone as proud and talented as Tianyan.

Fortunately, it seemed the Washboard Saintess placed great value on her chastity.

The Enchantress Divine Flower had not completely controlled Tianyan’s mind, but it had kept her on the brink of ignition.

In the month before the effects of the Enchantress Divine Flower wore off, Tianyan was likely to be somewhat more docile.

But speaking of tonight’s gathering...

The gathering, especially those of the Qionghua Sect,

was something Xu Yuan was very curious about.

But facing so many acquaintances at the outset, the risk of exposure without any memory is too great.

His understanding of Jing He was limited to a phrase heard in Cang Yuan, "One becomes the Sakura, the other a leech," and he knew next to nothing else, not even clear on the Cultivation Technique the other party practiced.

Xu Yuan fell silent for a moment before steering the conversation back on track:

"Let’s cancel tonight’s gathering."

Tianyan, able to prioritize, replied in a low voice after calming down completely:

"We need to gather some information about this ancient era; the gathering of these Sect offsprings tonight presents an excellent opportunity."

"But the risks are also significant," Xu Yuan disagreed.

Without a second thought, Tianyan rebutted, "We are already deep in this bizarre Illusionary Realm. Tell me, what activity doesn’t carry a great risk now?"

"Currently, we are without memories; at the very least, we can learn some basic information from those regular disciples."

Previously, by eavesdropping on the conversations of ordinary disciples, Xu Yuan discovered that both he and Tianyan held high status among the second generation disciples of the Qionghua Sect. With this status, they could glean a lot of information.

"Basic information?" Tianyan sighed, "What do you think those low-level disciples could know? Only the geniuses of the Sects and the children of the high ranks possess the knowledge we seek. You heard their conversation earlier; Jing He was clearly not a talkative person. Just speak less at the gathering."

Xu Yuan remained silent for a few breaths, then hesitantly said:

"Mmm... what exactly is it that we want to know now?"

"...."

The air suddenly grew quiet,

Tianyan looked at Xu Yuan as if he were an idiot for two seconds:

"Naturally, we need to find the origin of this Illusionary Realm."

Unfazed by Tianyan’s gaze, Xu Yuan countered:

"What do you mean by ’the source’? The Sect Master’s bedroom? Or the back mountain of the Sect?"

Within Cang Yuan, the deepest parts of the Qionghua Palace map were these two locations, but the source of the Illusionary Realm clearly couldn’t be either place.

Upon hearing this, Tianyan let out a faint sigh:

"This place is an Illusionary Realm created by the spirit of the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree, so naturally, the source is likely related to the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree."

Xu Yuan’s expression turned odd as he pondered:

"You wish to find the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree?"

Tianyan nodded, pointing in one direction, and whispered:

"Of course, but the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree hasn’t appeared at this point in time."

Xu Yuan likewise glanced in that direction.

The sense of direction isn’t too bad, much better than Big Ice Lump’s, that is indeed the Enchantress Leech Lake.

However, hearing this, Xu Yuan’s gaze became even more peculiar.

Tianyan continued to analyze on her own:

"I want to make contact with those people precisely because of this issue. Before the guardian spirit trees like the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree mature, the Sects would secretly protect them. The lower-level disciples have no chance of coming into contact with them, only the core disciples...."

"Alright."

Xu Yuan still couldn’t help interrupting her analysis.

Tianyan stopped mid-sentence, staring at him.

Xu Yuan also pointed in the direction of the Enchantress Leech Lake and asked:

"Are you certain the ’source’ of this Illusionary Realm is that Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree?"

"The probability is high."

"...."

Xu Yuan let out a long sigh, leaning against the stone balustrade of the pavilion, tilting his head back to look at the clear blue sky:

"Then there’s no need to look for it, we’re probably not getting out for the time being."

"..."

Tianyan stared at Xu Yuan without speaking, sitting quietly, waiting for him to explain.

Xu Yuan was silent for a while before pointing at Tianyan’s body.

Tianyan looked somewhat puzzled.

Xu Yuan suddenly said:

"You are the Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree."

"What?"

"The identity of ’Wang Yuchu’ that you destroyed earlier is the spirit of the Enchantress Divine Tree."

The pavilion fell silent, surrounded by the chirping of cicadas and birds, with a gentle breeze rustling through the trees.

Tianyan’s mouth opened into an ’o’ shape.

Xu Yuan waved his hand in front of her eyes and sighed:

"Are you sure there must be a ’source’ in this Illusionary Realm?"

Tianyan came to her senses, nodded, her clear voice carrying a weight;

"Both you and I are here now, so this Illusionary Realm involves techniques linked to our will-spirits. The caster must surely leave a ’source’ within the Illusionary Realm to maintain the connection between us."

After listening, Xu Yuan hesitantly asked:

"Since this is an illusion created by the spirit of the Enchantress Divine Tree, could it differ from ordinary illusions? Could the method to break it also be different?"

Tianyan frowned, staring at Xu Yuan, and emphasized each word:

"What I just explained is the fundamental principle of Soul Power operation."

"....." Xu Yuan.

The two fell silent for a long time.

They were stuck, the progress between the two of them for breaking out of the illusion came to a direct halt.

Because the source couldn’t be found.

...

...

At night, the hour of You.

Haiwei Residence.

Xu Yuan and Tianyan still attended the gathering of core disciples from the Qionghua Sect.

If they needed to stay in this Illusionary Realm for a lengthy period, they truly needed to gather a lot of information.

The cultivation technique practiced by Jing He, the interpersonal relationships between them, their specific identities within their Sects.

Moreover, they must clarify whether there is an Enchantress Divine Sakura Tree in the Qionghua Sect now, even if it’s just an Enchantress Divine sapling.

Including Xu Yuan and Tianyan, there were a total of eleven people at the gathering.

Six males and five females, they had booked an entire floor’s elegant chamber at Haiwei Residence.

The people who came were at least Fourth Grade to start with, belonging to the core of the core of the Qionghua Sect.

Senior Brother Li didn’t look like a Cultivator but more like a scholarly student. However, his strength was formidable, and the strongest present should be him.

Xu Yuan’s current level of cultivation couldn’t even compare.
