Breaking Ground
Tianyan was not surprised that Tianye would turn against her.
There may be evil without a cause in this world, but there is never good without a cause.
Even though the two had worked together through thick and thin to rescue Xu Yuan, the friendship they had built up in less than half a month was probably only worth a few taels of silver.
Not to mention, Tianye, that sly fox, is a complete egoist.
Yes, an egoist.
Tianyan knew very well what kind of person Tianye was.
Even if Tianye treated Xu Yuan very well and in a special way, it was only because doing these things pleased her. Even if this pleasure would cause her already illusory life to perish again, she would still not hesitate.
Talking about deals, feelings, or cooperation with this kind of crazy vixen is like walking a tightrope that's about to break.
after all,
For a woman who is willing to risk her life for her own pleasure, whether she goes back on her word or breaks a contract depends entirely on her whim.
Previously, Tianye's method of pleasing herself involved Xu Yuan, but now that method seems to have changed somewhat.
It fell on Tianyan.
The thought had barely formed when Tianyan slowly turned his eyes to look at Tianye.
"."
After a brief exchange of glances, Tianye, who was pondering the feasibility of possession, sighed softly, a sense of helplessness rising in his heart.
The Heaven Derivation Art can ignore others' attempts to block its transmission.
Even sages are no exception.
It seems this woman overheard her conversation with Luo Zhiyuan.
As a beneficiary of the Heaven Derivation Art, Tianye suddenly felt a slight aversion to it at this moment.
As an enemy, the Heaven Derivation Art is truly troublesome.
I had originally planned to appease this woman with gentle persuasion and then proceed gradually, but now it seems I have no choice but to take a hard line.
After being discovered, Tianye made no attempt to hide it, simply staring at the girl in front of him with a smile, even giving her a provocative wink.
Compared to Tianye's reaction, Tianyan's expression remained unchanged. He quietly watched the danger in Tianye's eyes, but his gaze was completely calm.
She looked at her, activated the Yantian Art, and transmitted her thoughts through her Will Soul. Her clear and calm voice directly pierced through Tianye's thoughts:
"So, you're trying to possess me?"
"That's for sure. After all, if I could be resurrected through another body, the inevitable destruction of this illusory world wouldn't seem so hopeless to me."
Tianye did not deny it, staring intently at Tianyan, his gaze sweeping up and down as if he were looking at his new body:
"Your appearance is quite appealing; I don't dislike you at all."
"And if it really works out, I'm not afraid that your generation's Pavilion Master will discover the clues and punish me, since what you can do, I can do too."
"."
After listening quietly, Tianyan's reply remained indifferent:
"That's true. Even if you tell your master directly about the possession, she most likely won't investigate further."
Given Master Tianyuan's absolute rationality, even if he knew she had been possessed and died, he would never punish Tianye.
after all,
Who "Tianyan" is is not important; what is important is that "Tianyan" exists.
After a moment's pause, Tianyan asked softly:
"So, you have a way to seize the Yantian Divine Soul?"
Those who cultivate the Yantian Divine Soul cannot be possessed; this is a rule written in white characters on the blue bricks of the Yantian Stele Spirit Soul Chapter.
Tianye didn't seem to care, and smiled faintly:
"It's all about human effort. Give me enough time, and maybe I can break this rule."
"So, you're not going to make a move now."
Tianyan seemed to sense a hint of boredom, glanced at the underground where Guiliu was, and urged, "Then you'd better make this Saint Venerable act quickly. If something happens to Xu Yuan and you become mentally impaired, you probably won't have the ability to possess me anymore. Of course, you can also choose to unlock the Lock of Shared Life."
"Hehehe~ The Lock of Shared Life isn't so easy to break."
A soft chuckle escaped Tianye's lips, her beautiful eyes curving into crescents. "But you really do care about him. Even when you're in a dead end, you still have time to think about him."
Now that the Saint Venerable of the Heavenly Oversight Pavilion has arrived...
In the face of absolute power, all scheming is futile.
Regardless of whether Xu Yuan is ultimately rescued, the fate of this woman before him is already sealed.
Although they were all lovey-dovey, ultimately, he was just someone she used for amusement.
After finding a new love, she wouldn't care about her ex's wishes, much less his requests.
Even if Xu Yuan knelt down and begged her, Tianyan would still die, though the manner of death might differ.
They will either be refined into Charm God Tree Spirit as in history, or become a vessel for her to possess.
His divine gaze, devoid of any emotion, swept over them; Tianyan's voice was like a still, deep pool.
Perhaps.
While the two women were talking, the old man beside them seemed to have already ascertained the situation below. He glanced at the two girls who were using an unknown Secret Method to transmit their voices, and said in a deep voice:
"Holy Maiden, I have now ascertained the situation below."
As he spoke,
A murderous glint flashed in his aged eyes as he looked at Tianyan beside him:
"Before we go down, may I please have this Tianyan destroyed?"
"Need not."
Tianye immediately rejected the suggestion, after all, if he were crippled, it was hard to say what unexpected things might happen when he tried to possess someone else's body in the future.
However, not abolishing it doesn't mean that other methods can't be used.
Under Luo Zhiyuan's slightly hesitant gaze, Tianye smiled gently:
"This woman is very strong. Before you go down, help me suppress her. I've used the Heaven Derivation Art to seal her cultivation."
Upon hearing this, Luo Zhiyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief.
He could tell that the saintess in front of him was not in good condition, and if the woman named Tianyan suddenly attacked, it was hard to say whether something unexpected would happen.
In thought,
Luo Zhiyuan casually raised his hand, and wisps of cloud and electric arcs immediately appeared on his index finger, which was covered with a few age spots.
Tianye's body also instantly erupted with energy, and her fitted black dress fluttered loudly in the strong wind.
A few golden, mysterious runes appeared in the air; these were the ' Four Symbols God-Sealing Seal ' that Tianyan previously used to enrich her.
Tianyan frowned slightly upon seeing this.
Seeing her expression, Tianye chuckled and said:
"If you don't want anything to happen to Xu Yuan, you'd better not resist. After all, it won't take a Saint-level Yingui long enough to possess a Origin Beginning."
"If Xu Yuan dies, you yourself..."
"Whatever, I've been dead for 20,000 years anyway~"
"."
Tianyan looked at Tianye in front of him and clenched his fist slightly.
She felt slightly annoyed, even angry, but she was powerless to resist.
With the power of the Heaven Derivation Art Technique and the cognitive biases caused by the altered consciousness of the illusory world, she can probably hold out against a sage for a while.
Tianye was aware of this as well.
But this crazy woman was determined to gamble that she wouldn't dare to delay, even if it meant taking a risk herself.
Every second of delay increases the risk of Xu Yuan being possessed and dying.
After a few breaths of silence,
Under their gazes, Tianyan slowly closed his brilliant golden eyes.
"."
Upon seeing this, Luo Zhiyuan glanced at the two girls in front of him with a slightly strange expression.
Although they couldn't hear what the saintess and the girl were saying, the fact that the girl had given up resisting so easily suggested that the saintess held something important in her hands.
Just as he was thinking this, Luo Zhiyuan's expression suddenly changed.
"Boom!!!"
A deafening roar suddenly erupted from underground.
The instant the sound rang out, countless thick willow branches burst forth from the ground like giant dragons emerging from the sea.
In an instant,
The entire swamp was churning with mud and billowing with poisonous fumes, and countless withered trees were uprooted and tossed into the air by willow branches.
When everything returns to calm,
A towering ghost willow, with countless corpses hanging upside down in the black mist, appeared on the ground.
Its towering peaks even pierced through the boundless mist of All Swords Valley, exposing them to the sunlight of the sky.
On one of the thick trunks of that towering ghost willow, a man dressed in white robes sat quietly.
Between eye contact,
Those long, narrow, phoenix-shaped eyes were gleaming with an incomparably alluring, luminous pink light.
