Chapter 971: Chapter 602: State of Existence

When Mu Xingyi fell to the bottom of Burial Dragon Valley, giant stones were constantly smashed around, raising dust. Amidst it, on a patch of open ground, a slender silhouette with a missing arm stood quietly.

Through the dust, Mu Xingyi could see that the cross-section of her arm was irregular.

The uneven break appeared somewhat fierce and horrific, but there was no blood flowing out, only a black fog enveloping it.

Lady Wan seemed not to mind her injury, her gaze locked on the palace-dressed girl in mid-air, her black eyes indiscernible of any emotion.

Seeing her like this, Mu Xingyi unconsciously frowned.

Lady Wan seemed to notice his concern and suddenly glanced sideways at him with a gentle smile:

"My lord, I am a Yin Ghost; such injuries are not severe for me."

Yin Ghosts are neither of the Human Race nor the Demon Race; they do not have a traditional fatal weakness.

To kill her, the only option would be to thoroughly crush every strand of her soul.

While talking, Lady Wan once again turned her gaze towards the sky, only to see the woman slowly flying towards the direction of the young man in brocade.

Mu Xingyi also noticed something, pondered for a moment, and then softly said:

"Wan’er, you must have noticed something off about that Saintess too, right?"

Lady Wan’s gaze firmly locked on Tian Ye, nodded lightly:

"Yes, in that instant just now, she burst forth with the power of a Saint, but now she suddenly returned to the Origin Peak cultivation."

Mu Xingyi thoughtfully said:

"Jiatiange’s secret technique?"

Lady Wan glanced at the break in her arm, shaking her head:

"Right in that instant, she possessed Sacred Origin, something only Saints can have."

Mu Xingyi fell silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Based on your judgment, Wan’er, can we capture Zhou Yunqing with our current state?"

Lady Wan gave Mu Xingyi a sideways look and said:

"Why, not calling him Brother Zhou anymore?"

"Now’s not the time for jokes."

Mu Xingyi watched his hand that had entirely transformed into a grotesque insect form, softly saying, "Compared to him, this lifesaver... I care more about you and Nuonuo."

Noticing the complexity in his eyes, Lady Wan gently pursed her thin lips, murmuring:

"My lord, I’m sorry...."

"This is the path I chose."

Mu Xingyi clenched his fist, his multitude of eyes firm: "Wan’er, can we do it now?"

A faint smile crossed Lady Wan’s lips, soon vanishing, as her gentle voice turned solemn:

"I can’t be sure of the Saintess’s state; even at the brink of death during our last encounter, she did not use this power. There must be a corresponding price to use it."

Mu Xingyi stayed quiet for a bit, then took a deep breath:

"I’ve already informed my father; he is on his way here. We just need to hold on."

...

...

...

While the two were speaking at the bottom of the valley, Tian Ye was not idly watching but floated gently to Xu Yuan’s side.

Due to the sudden turn of events, Xu Yuan didn’t see clearly what happened before it was over.

When he saw Tian Ye landing in front of him, Xu Yuan stared at her radiant smile, silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice:

"You... what state are you existing in now?"

Tian Ye raised an eyebrow:

"I thought your first question would be about how the battle went."

Xu Yuan rolled his eyes, whispering:

"The two opponents are both injured, and as the one who singly faced the major disaster from the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, why should I worry?"

"Ah~ Thanks for the compliment, brother~"

Hearing this, Tian Ye couldn’t help but burst gently into laughter, her slender fingertips brushing her lips, smiling: "But Changtian brother... asking me this, are you worried about me, or are you worried about that little sister Tianyan?"

Xu Yuan immediately became alert, staring at her enchanting and flawless face for a few moments:

"It’s naturally Tianyan."

"Giggle~"

Upon this response, Tian Ye chuckled more, her laughter trembling like flowers. Unfortunately, the familiar heavy sensation in her arms was gone, making her feel somewhat empty and listless inside.

Because the man in front of her had very clear eyes.

After a brief laughter, Tian Ye explained somewhat lacklusterly:

"Rest assured, she’s still alive. I’m just borrowing her body, appearing in the State of Divine Nothingness."

Xu Yuan was slightly puzzled:

"What do you mean?"

"Hmm... how should I explain it..."

Tian Ye directly sat in mid-air, crossing her legs, unhesitatingly explaining the secrets of the Yantian Art:

"The Yantian Art has four stages of losing emotions: original self, forgetful self, empty self, nothingness self. Both the original self and nothingness self are common states. The little ice ball you keep mentioning is the forgetful self, and the State of Divine Nothingness is the empty self state."

Xu Yuan tried to recall the fragments of memory from the Enchantress Divine Illusion Realm, speaking softly:

"I remember you always wanted to break it."

"Yes, I succeeded."

Tian Ye raised her slender hand to her flat chest, smiling: "I temporarily replaced myself with Tianyan in the State of Divine Nothingness, pretty impressive, right?"

Xu Yuan slightly furrowed his brows upon hearing this and asked:

"Can I understand it as you’ve become the second personality of Tianyan?"

"Of course."

Tian Ye noticed the wariness in Xu Yuan’s eyes and suddenly squinted, whispering:

"And... I’ll gradually devour her main personality. Are you happy about that, Brother Changtian?"

Xu Yuan was silent for a moment before suddenly laughing:

"Do you think I believe that?"

"This girl is indeed ’Tianyan’, but she’s still too inexperienced. Replacing her is not too challenging for me."

With her slender index finger continuously twirling her hair, Tian Ye said discontentedly, "Brother Changtian, do you look down on me that much? I am so compatible with her..."

"I don’t doubt your ability; it’s just whether you can endure Tianyan’s body?"

Xu Yuan interrupted her, the voice tinged with amusement: "You haven’t been out for long, yet I’ve seen your discomfort more than once."

Speaking,

Xu Yuan blinked, mimicking Tian Ye’s manner, hands wrapping around his chest, then lifting slightly.

"....." Tian Ye.

She stood back up, moved close to Xu Yuan, reached out to grab his collar, and yanked him close.

Up close, Xu Yuan watched the enchanting expression on Tianyan’s face and chuckled:

"What, did I say something wrong?"

"No, just that you understand me well~"

Tian Ye’s curved golden pupils brimmed with laughter, her breath sweet, lips nearly touching his: "But, Brother Changtian, I seem to have forgotten to tell you something..."

Xu Yuan was taken aback, his eyes instantly wary:

"Hey... you’re not going to say that Tianyan can see the outside world now, are you?"

"Smart~"

As the words fell,

The enchantress with Tianyan’s face slightly tilted her head and bit his lip.

After a long moment, they parted.

Xu Yuan felt a strangely thrilling sensation.

But before he could speak, he saw Tian Ye’s lips curled in a little devilish smile, saying lightly:

"Oh right... not only can Tianyan see, she can actually fight with me for control of the body too~"

"....." Xu Yuan was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly contracted.

Seeing Xu Yuan’s expression, the smile on Tian Ye’s lips grew wider as she spoke with a touch of helplessness:

"But if she takes over, I won’t be able to save you~"

"Brother Changtian,

"Now... do you feel more thrilled?"

Xu Yuan calmly and quickly thought it through, then pushed Tian Ye away.

The girl didn’t resist, smiling amiably, but the joy in her golden eyes seemed to have reached its limit.

After a light cough, Xu Yuan spoke softly:

"Is now really the time for this? Since you’re using Tianyan’s body, how can you unleash such great power?"

"It’s the Dao Charm, my Dao Charm involves the Chrono Art, which can restore my strength to its peak for ten breaths."

"But, you can use the Dao Charm with Tianyan’s body?"

"Hmm? Since I share the same physique and cultivation techniques with her, why couldn’t I?"

"...."

Xu Yuan hesitated for a moment, then asked worriedly: "Then... is there a price to pay?"

Tian Ye pondered briefly, and not joking this time, said with a smile:

"There is none within ten breaths, but exceeding that will consume Tianyan’s life as she is, after all, just at the Origin Peak, unable to withstand the power of my heyday."

Hearing this, Xu Yuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Due to those two Saints at home, Xu Yuan knew that there were disparities among Saints.

Ten breaths of time were already enough for Tian Ye, a Saint who could face calamities alone, to deal with the half-crippled ghost and bug below.

Thinking, Xu Yuan softly asked:

"So... is your reluctance to attack Mu Xingyi and others due to that Bug Saint?"

Tian Ye loosened her petite shoulders indifferently and said:

"I have met that old insect before, that type of Ancient Beast won’t get much stronger even after twenty thousand years. Even if it comes, it can’t protect those two cripples."

Seeing this, doubt flickered through Xu Yuan’s eyes as he spoke softly:

"Then why not strike?"

Tian Ye lightly licked her lips with her tender, delicate tongue, and with a mystical smile, she said:

"That’s naturally because... I need to keep this precious time to deal with other people~"

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, instinctively surveying the surroundings:

"Other people? Those who make you go all out?"

"Yes."

"Who?"

"....."

Tian Ye didn’t respond immediately. She raised a slender index finger, pointing in the direction where the little dragon girl had disappeared, and slowly exhaled a name that startled Xu Yuan:

"Naturally, it’s... the Lord of the Ancient Abyss of this generation~"
