Chapter 652: Chapter 415: Crazy Thoughts

"That ghost willow was forged by Tian Ye into a knife,"

"The Willow Ghost Sword?"

"It’s a knife."

"They’re similar, like the one I saw in the Illusionary Realm?"

"Yes."

Upon having his question answered, Xu Yuan’s thoughts once again began to wander.

Undoubtedly, the trunk of the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow, which had grown for countless years, was an excellent material for crafting magic artifacts, not to mention the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow itself was a being between a Yin Ghost and a spirit with a charming essence.

With some special sacrificial forging procedures, even its soul could directly become a complete spirit consciousness within the artifact.

However, all of this was predicated on one condition, the ability to defeat and capture that Saint Level Ghost.

In the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, Xu Yuan had controlled the Thousand-Thorn Ghost Willow through the Enchantress Divine Taoist Charm and the Enchantress Cherry Poison, making it forge itself into a sword.

But Tian Ye from history clearly did not have these special conditions.

Thinking of this,

Xu Yuan lifted his gaze to the girl sitting across the tea table.

The dim light scattered by the misty rain illuminated her cheeks and her hair swayed gently in the wind behind her.

"Did that woman, Tian Ye, go to Sword Casting Valley by herself to slaughter that ghost willow?"

"Perhaps."

Tianyan was non-committal to this speculation, "Like the Saint Heirs and Saintesses who were ’sacrificed’ at the Pavilion Master’s arrival ceremony, Tian Ye only left a few brief notes in the annals of Jiatiange."

Having said this, Tianyan gracefully lifted the porcelain cup before her and took a sip of the fragrant tea:

"However, given that woman’s talents, she should have already broken through to Saint Level before the arrival ceremony of Tian Rui as Pavilion Master."

"...."

No surprise showed in Xu Yuan’s eyes.

Although the memories of the Illusionary Realm were intermittent due to the remnants of his divine soul, those fragmented scenes were enough to understand a lot of internal information about Jiatiange.

Even within Jiatiange’s ranks, there were disparities.

This gap was even greater than that between Mortal Transcendence and Saints.

After all,

could a Pavilion Master who had only learned two Chapters of Tianyan be compared to those ’Tianyan’ Pavilion Masters who had learned five Chapters?

As a ’Tianyan’ from twenty thousand years ago, Tian Ye’s cultivation speed could not possibly be slower than Tian Rui’s.

Though Xu Yuan did not continue the conversation, he eagerly watched Tianyan, expecting her to continue.

And Tianyan never had the habit of speaking in riddles, her explanations always concise and clear:

"Moreover, I suspect that Yuchu’s descent into insanity had something to do with Tian Ye."

"...."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan’s leisurely demeanor, like one savoring tea whilst listening to the rain, instantly turned serious.

In the Cangyuan Chronicles, Yuchu was depicted as a madwoman.

However, after encountering the reality, Xu Yuan had repeatedly pondered the reasons for Yuchu’s descent into madness and, due to incomplete information, he had only come up with two unreliable speculations.

First, because of time.

Twenty thousand years was such a long period that it might have directly caused her insanity.

Second, someone put a "collar" on her.

Among the two speculations, Xu Yuan was more inclined toward the former.

After all, those who were influential in large Sects twenty thousand years ago were wiped out by her, and Xu Yuan really couldn’t think of anyone who could place such a "collar" on her.

This thought also led to a series of speculations.

For instance,

Yuchu stayed in the Qionghua Secret Realm because she had let go of her hatred, sealing herself away in Qionghua Secret Realm, not letting the Enchantress Divine Catastrophe spread to the outer world.

But now that Tianyan mentioned this... the situation seemed to have suddenly reversed.

With these thoughts, Xu Yuan suddenly remembered something else.

Luo Xiran, the older adoptive sister, had once said that during the Ghost Catastrophe ten thousand years ago, the then Heaven’s Watchtower Master was called Tianyan.

And then,

they successfully resolved that catastrophe.

With another disaster looming ten thousand years later, there was also the presence of the Washboard Saintess.

So twenty thousand years ago...

When the Enchantress Divine Catastrophe struck, could the decision made by Tian Ye, who was seen as the Saintess of ’Tianyan’, have been the reason for the entire world’s collapse?

As these thoughts whirred, Xu Yuan suddenly asked aloud:

"Do you mean to suggest that Tian Ye drove Yuchu insane and ultimately trapped her within the Qionghua Secret Realm?"

"Perhaps..."

Tianyan said with a hint of a sigh, placing the porcelain cup back onto the tea tray with a "clink" and spoke softly:

"Regardless of her personality, Tian Ye, as a Saintess of Jiatiange, would definitely contribute her part in the face of a major catastrophe threatening the world."

Xu Yuan stroked his chin, a smile flickering in his eyes, and said:

"By beheading to successfully bind Yuchu and confining the Enchantress Divine Catastrophe within the Qionghua Secret Realm... Does that make that enchantress, Tian Ye, quite powerful?"

"Indeed very powerful."

Tianyan did not deny this statement: "Even though the advent of the Enchantress Divine Catastrophe owes somewhat to her inaction, such an act can be considered a desperate attempt to save a faltering house."

Xu Yuan hooked the corner of his lips, gazing at the young girl with golden eyes before him, whose expression was calm and unperturbed, and asked out of the blue:

"How about compared to you?"

"What?" Tianyan looked up, her voice serene.

Xu Yuan, propping his chin, said with a smile:

"Your Jiatiange has said it, a great catastrophe is forthcoming...

"Ten thousand years ago, the Heaven’s Watchtower Master ’Tianyan’ took command, venturing deep into the vast wilds to slay the arrogant Ghost King. Twenty thousand years ago, Tian Ye even single-handedly ’sealed’ Yuchu, who was the beginning of the catastrophe, as the Enchantress Divine Tree Spirit.

"In the upcoming catastrophe, what role will you, this ’Tianyan’, play?"
