Chapter 545: The Nameless Tomb, A Night in the Harem

Chapter 545: The Nameless Tomb, A Night in the Harem

As far as his eyes could see, it was all... void.

"Blind Maiden?"

Qi Yuan called out again, but there was no trace of the Blind Maiden in sight.

Qi Yuan's gaze swept around, his face filled with confusion.

The place where he stood now was eerie, illusory, and dazzling.

Apart from the path he remembered walking on, the rest of the area was formless, as if it had not yet solidified into matter.

It was as if countless colorful lines were broken and scattered, like fireflies, or a jumble of digital code.

[Void fragments, a state of chaos, unknowable, invisible, and unperceivable.]



Qi Yuan sensed a strong feeling of threat amidst this chaos and disorder.

However, he understood that if he were an ordinary person, he might not have been able to see these void fragments.

It was only because his eyes could perceive hidden information that he was able to see them.

Without time to think further, Qi Yuan followed the path he usually took towards the Blind Maiden's residence.

Except for the road he frequently traveled, which had solidified into matter, the surrounding environment was all void fragments.

Like jumbled code, it was intangible even if he reached out to touch it.

Of course, Qi Yuan dared not touch it randomly.

Soon, he arrived at the Blind Maiden's dwelling.

In Qi Yuan's perception, there used to be a wooden house and a courtyard there.

But now, it seemed that there was nothing there except for a gurgling stream.

It was as if his past memories were all illusions.

Qi Yuan's gaze turned serious.

He went to other places.

But everywhere he looked, apart from the few roads that had solidified into matter, the rest were all void fragments.

He stepped on the rocky path, and the original ground and sunlight no longer existed.

Only on the wall, there seemed to be void fragments resembling fireflies.

The void fragments seemed to be slowly consuming this material world.

The entire Divine Wood Abyss was empty, with no other living beings except for Qi Yuan.

Not even ants, let alone microorganisms, could be found.

"Could it be... that everything is fake?"

Qi Yuan furrowed his brows.

"Then what is real?"

This situation revealed endless strangeness.

He stood alone in the Divine Wood Abyss.

The Blind Maiden was gone, her house had disappeared, and the swing was nowhere to be found.

Even the fruit she had given Qi Yuan was no longer there.

"Too bad I don't have to defecate, otherwise... I might be able to find the remains of the fruit."

"Could it be that during this time, I've been talking to thin air and eating thin air too?"

"No, the Art of Artifice is real, and my memories wouldn't deceive me. So... I need to use my clever brain."

Qi Yuan thought seriously.

After all, this wasn't the only strange incident that had occurred in the Divine Wood Abyss; there was also that night when he was pushed, accompanied by a faint floral fragrance.

Until now, Qi Yuan still didn't know who had pushed him.

If it was all fake...

Well, it definitely wasn't fake; Qi Yuan's memories were very real.

"Regarding the Blind Maiden... I can make some bold speculations."

"First, is it possible that she truly existed, but in the end, she helped me make up for the final flaw of Divine Judgment, and after exhausting everything, she disappeared?"

This guess also had some possibility.

The Blind Maiden truly existed, but after giving Qi Yuan the One Branch of Spring, she exhausted herself and vanished.

"Second, everything is an illusion... The Blind Maiden doesn't exist, and I imagined her."

This was also highly probable.

On Blue Star, Qi Yuan had watched a movie where the protagonist wanted to learn martial arts, met a Martial God, followed the Martial God's teachings, and later discovered that the Martial God didn't actually exist and was merely a figment of his imagination.

"Third, only a blind person... could trigger the condition to see the Blind Maiden, and now that my eyes are healed, I can't see her?"

There were too many mysteries in this world.

It was like how a two-dimensional creature couldn't imagine a three-dimensional being, and ordinary humans could only see the light observable by the naked eye.

As for what the eye couldn't see, one couldn't even imagine it.

With this in mind, Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

The world became dim.

"Blind Maiden?"

He called out softly, but there was no response, only the sound of his own voice.

He opened his eyes again.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"The Blind Maiden once said that she had taught the Flute Maiden the Art of Artifice... If I see the Flute Maiden, wouldn't I know... if the Blind Maiden truly exists?"

The Flute Maiden wasn't blind.

"In other words, find the Flute Maiden!"

"Perhaps everything will be resolved."

With this thought, Qi Yuan felt relieved.

Without hesitation, he looked at the empty Divine Wood Abyss and said solemnly, "Blind Maiden, I remember the swing, and I remember your eyes..."

After he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the Divine Wood Abyss.

He followed that tiny speck, like a grain of rice, and arrived at the Divine Wood Abyss.

The Divine Wood Abyss was empty and silent.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and there seemed to be the sound of falling leaves, or perhaps the creaking of a swing.

...

In the Divine Wood Abyss, Immortal Spirit Handsome looked at Qi Yuan with a peculiar expression in his eyes. "I didn't expect such severe injuries to heal so quickly, and you're already full of vigor."

The last time he saw Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan was still unconscious and on the verge of death.

Immortal Spirit Handsome estimated that only the intervention of a Domain Lord could truly save him.

As for other methods, they would likely only address the symptoms and not the root cause.

In the end, Qi Yuan easily recovered.

"Since you're alive, I might as well complete my task of helping Thorned Blood transform the Divine Wood into Trick Spirits and turn Green Mountain into a Trick Spirit Realm."

With Qi Yuan, a top-tier combatant, present, he knew he couldn't complete this task.

So, he decided to abandon the task and explore the Divine Wood Abyss instead.

"Have you discovered anything in the Divine Wood Abyss?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

The Divine Wood Abyss was an extremely special place, containing not only a divine tree but possibly other treasures as well.

Qi Yuan also speculated that the divine tree might be related to the Blind Maiden.

But after seeing the divine tree with his own eyes, the information he obtained confirmed that it was indeed a special tree, comparable to the legendary Jianmu, but it had no connection to the Blind Maiden.

Immortal Spirit Handsome frowned, "If I were to say there's no major discovery, but there's something strange. I found a tomb here."

"A tomb?" Qi Yuan narrowed his eyes.

"Come, I'll take you to see it." Immortal Spirit Handsome led the way, and Qi Yuan followed.

After about a quarter of an hour, the two transformed into streams of light and landed in a secluded valley.

The valley was filled with withered yellow leaves, and the atmosphere was tense as the wind blew.

Qi Yuan's attention was immediately drawn to a tombstone in front of him.

"The tombstone is nameless. I used my Heaven Eye to see that the coffin is empty. I don't know whose tomb this is," Immortal Spirit Handsome said indifferently.

Qi Yuan's expression was peculiar.

In front of him, the tombstone was smooth and flat, with no inscriptions, only some crude and simple patterns.

This tombstone seemed to have endured the passage of time, and Qi Yuan even saw the "old age" of the elders on it.

"This tombstone..."

Qi Yuan's face was strange.

He had seen this tombstone before.

"Do you recognize it? Do you know whose tomb this is?" Immortal Spirit Handsome asked curiously.

Qi Yuan shook his head.

When Concubine Husband Qi Yuan reached perfection, the new role he awakened was that of a strange stone.

Most of that strange stone was used by the Goddess to mend the earth.

The remaining part was used to make a tombstone.

It was this one in front of him.

So, the owner of this tomb was... the Goddess?

"If I say this tombstone is mine, would you believe me?" Qi Yuan said.

"Pfft, you might as well say you're the owner of the tomb. I might believe that," Immortal Spirit Handsome said, looking at Qi Yuan with complex thoughts, "This mission has failed, and I'll have to return to the Void Playground. Qi Brother... take care."

He sighed.

Qi Yuan's talent was the strongest he had ever seen in his life.

Being able to defeat Phoenix Cry, in the Zhou Universe, many Realm Sovereigns would likely compete to take him as a disciple.

Of course, there was also the possibility of "possession."

Unfortunately, he lived in a universe in its infancy, a world where even one era could not be completed.

His fate was destined to be tragic.

Even the most talented and proud couldn't change the overall situation.

"Thanks, NPC." Qi Yuan smiled, "Go back and read more books. If I have any questions in the future, I'll continue to ask you."

"Okay." Immortal Spirit Handsome's figure disappeared.

Qi Yuan stood in front of the nameless tombstone for a long time.

"It's time to return to the Raksha Kingdom and deliver the Divine Arrival... then check on the Flute Maiden's information and see where she is now!"

As for the role-playing, it was still necessary.

The role-playing of Divine Judgment was not yet fully completed, and the role-playing of the Blind Artisan was already perfect. He had awakened a new role.

Once Divine Judgment ends, he estimates that he will have to go and play that new role.

Qi Yuan's figure flashed, and he reappeared beside the hot spring.

In the hot spring, Shen Lingxuan wore a black skirt, her whole body wet, and her long legs were casually positioned, especially eye-catching.

Aside from her beauty, if one were to say that the junior sister Jiang Lingsu's most captivating feature was her ample chest, and that Jin Sique and Ning Sique's most attractive feature was their slender and jade-like feet, then Shen Lingxuan's most striking feature was her long, smooth, and flawless legs, like jade.

From Qi Yuan's perspective, her legs were very suitable to be held around the waist.

At this moment, she still wore a veil on her face, making it difficult to see her true appearance.

Now, seeing it with his own eyes, and having tasted it before, gave him a different feeling, pleasing to the eye.

"Let's go, we're heading to the Raksha Kingdom."

In the 169 book bar, the uncensored version!

Wu Lingyan's face was filled with terror, but upon noticing the leader nearby, she hurriedly exclaimed, "Leader, it's him! He's the Divine Judgment Qi Yuan!"

The other Celestial and Divine Armament Masters scrutinized Qi Yuan, finding his words bizarre and peculiar.

Why should they care about how hard others cultivate?

The leader of the Thorned Blood narrowed his eyes, his murderous intent palpable, "Qi Yuan, you're bold enough to intrude upon my Thorned Blood. Don't even think about leaving here alive today!"

Thorned Blood wasn't just any ordinary place.

Behind it stood the backing of the Black Abyss!

"Since you're so unmotivated and prefer to lie flat, I'll let you lie flat forever!"

Just then, Qi Yuan transformed his hand into a sword.

A sharp sword beam descended from above, landing amidst the stronghold of Thorned Blood.

The radiant beam filled the air, and blood danced in its wake.

This sword beam seemed to enter a realm of its own, wreaking indiscriminate slaughter.

"You dare!" The leader of Thorned Blood unleashed his Divine Realm, and a terrifying aura enveloped the area.

But in the next instant, he deflated like a punctured balloon, pierced through by the sword beam.

He barely lasted two seconds before falling from the sky, landing with a thud.

"How is this possible?" The other members of Thorned Blood were terrified.

Their leader couldn't even withstand a single blow.

How could someone be this powerful?

Without hesitation, they fled in panic.

Unfortunately, the gap between them and Qi Yuan was too vast. That sword beam was unstoppable, slaying gods and demons alike. Even a Divine Armament Master would meet instant death upon contact.

In the blink of an eye, the entire stronghold of Thorned Blood was decimated.

"You wanted to lie flat? This is your fate!"

Qi Yuan gazed at the bloody corpses in the stronghold, his expression calm.

"The experience gained from killing these people pales in comparison to the life granted by Phoenix Cry."

He turned away from the stronghold, embracing Shen Lingxuan's waist, "Wife, let's spend the night in the harem."

His figure vanished once more.

A few hours later, several Armament Masters arrived at the stronghold of Thorned Blood, their faces filled with shock.

"Divine Judgment has arrived. Who knows what will become of the Raksha Kingdom now."

In the Raksha royal palace, Qi Yuan placed the New Divine Judgment within, his emotions mixed.

With the One Branch of Spring gifted by the Blind Maiden, the New Divine Judgment held infinite possibilities, always striving for perfection.

Liu Sheng stood with reverence, awe in his eyes, and a hint of astonishment in his heart.

Qi Yuan, the Divine Judgment, not only possessed Divine-level combat strength but could also forge Holy Artifacts.

It was somewhat terrifying.

"With the Divine Judgment here, the future of the Raksha Kingdom will surely be forever bright!" Liu Sheng spoke earnestly.

Upon returning, he would instruct his clan to be cautious in their actions.

"I hope so," Qi Yuan said indifferently, "When can you organize the information about the Flute Maiden for me?"

Liu Sheng bowed, "The information about the Flute Maiden is recorded in the royal palace and several other states. Within three days, I will present all the scrolls and books related to her."

"Good," Qi Yuan nodded, three days wasn't a long time.

"I'll sleep in the harem for these three days. Don't disturb me unless necessary." Qi Yuan waved his hand.

Liu Sheng bowed and exited the grand hall, not daring to look around.

The magnificent hall was left with only Qi Yuan and Shen Lingxuan.

Qi Yuan turned to Shen Lingxuan, a smile in his eyes, "I haven't had a good look at your face yet."

He tugged at her, and the light veil covering her face fell to the ground.

A breathtakingly beautiful face came into Qi Yuan's view.

Words failed to describe her beauty. With just a glance, he felt like he was gazing upon a bewitching enchantress.

Despite her cold demeanor and exquisite features, Qi Yuan saw the allure of all living beings.

It was as if various types of charming women had merged into one, captivating his heart.

In an instant, a seductive aura filled the air, and a blush crept up Shen Lingxuan's ears.

Under Qi Yuan's appreciative and admiring gaze, Shen Lingxuan dared not move, her breathing quickening, and her chest rising and falling.

"I've always had a dream of spending the night in the harem, and today, I've finally realized it."

His hand glided over her ankle, lifting her skirt, revealing her smooth, jade-like legs, a sight so exquisite it was hard to resist.

Her thighs, exposed to the air, were snow-white and tender. Shen Lingxuan felt a chill in the night air, contrasting with the warmth of his palms. A blush crept up her cold face, "Don't look..."

She was shy, her delicate hands covering Qi Yuan's eyes, but she seemed afraid he'd scold her, so she clumsily covered his mouth with her lips.

The three days passed quickly.

Qi Yuan had fulfilled his dream of spending the night in the harem.

With the New Divine Judgment, the Raksha Kingdom underwent numerous changes.

The most significant change, perhaps, was the death toll.

The new rule emphasized not dwelling on the past.

Of course, significant events like senseless killings were still handled according to the old Divine Judgment laws.

Perfection in the world was rare, and even Qi Yuan couldn't achieve it.

However, after the bloodshed, the Raksha Kingdom was far better than its initial chaotic and lawless state.

At least, it now had vitality, or perhaps, a spring-like energy.

"Master Qi, all the materials related to the Flute Maiden are here," Liu Sheng respectfully handed over a Storage Magical Artifact.

He had scoured several states, gathering all the information about the Flute Maiden.

Qi Yuan opened the Storage Magical Artifact, his eyebrows rising, "There are even a few Holy Artifacts? Are they also related to the Flute Maiden?"

There were differences between Holy Artifacts and ordinary magical artifacts.

Ordinary magical artifacts lacked the divine strangeness and combat power of the Divine Judgment.

"They're unrelated," Liu Sheng said nervously.

These Holy Artifacts were the most precious items in the Raksha Kingdom.

He wanted to collect these Divine-level artifacts and offer them to Qi Yuan.

"If they're unrelated, return them to their rightful owners," Qi Yuan said casually.

He was a picky man.

He didn't want things that didn't belong to him.

Even if he wanted something, it wasn't due to greed. He sought to inherit the legacy of his beloved, using these artifacts as proof that she had once existed.
