Chapter 306 The Holy Maiden Appears
As soon as he finished speaking, a strong wind swept in from not far ahead, and petals danced in the air as a woman's figure descended from the sky.
She possessed an ethereal and beautiful face, dressed in a simple white robe with a white veil draped over her shoulders. A gentle breeze blew through her long, flowing hair, giving her an otherworldly and graceful appearance.
Ye Luo sized up the woman, who resembled a banished immortal, noting that she exuded no murderous intent. He then asked, "Who are you?"
The white-clad woman's eyes seemed to hold endless loneliness and desolation. After a long while, she spoke softly, "I am the Holy Maiden of Heavenly Feather."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked upon hearing this, and after looking at her, they all retreated.
Ye Luo asked in confusion, "If you are the Heavenly Feather Saintess, then who is that person outside?"
The woman in white sighed, "I don't know who she is, I only know that she doesn't belong to this world, and she once claimed to be a transmigrator. She used her supreme power to seize my body and impersonate me to live in this world."
"She's actually a time traveler." This surprised Ye Luo as well. It seems that the person from ten thousand years ago had possessed a soul, while the one before him was the true Heavenly Feather Saintess.
Saintess Tianyu looked at Ye Luo and asked in surprise, "You know about time travelers?"
Ye Luo chuckled and said, "I know, I'm quite familiar with it."
That's him.
Upon hearing this, Saintess Tianyu simply looked at him without asking any further questions. She turned and gazed at the sea of flowers, muttering to herself, "I never imagined that after ten thousand years, she would still be alive... and even return to the Holy Temple."
Ye Luo remained vigilant, observing her expression before smiling and saying, "Aren't you alive too?"
"Alive?" Saintess Tianyu chuckled lightly. "Back then, she forcibly took over my body and refined and absorbed my soul. I am now nothing more than a remnant soul clinging to life."
Ye Luo looked at her soul, which was drifting uncertainly in the wind, looking as if it was about to dissipate.
"Could you tell us the truth about what happened back then? For example, the outer realms are a powerful force, and someone who has already reached such a position, why would she still want to attack the cultivation world? And why would those cultivators in the outer realms willingly obey her orders?"
They knew very little about the Heavenly Feather Saintess outside. As the old saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated." Now was a good opportunity for him.
Saintess Tianyu sighed, "In fact, the cause of many things all stems from a mysterious man."
"man?"
“Yes.” Saintess Tianyu continued, “Back then, she impersonated me and fell in love with the Lord of the Holy Domain. The Lord gave her most of his power and listened to her every word.”
"However, this good fortune did not last long. It is said that the Holy Lord later became infatuated with a man, and the two gradually developed a rift. Not long after, she actually killed the Holy Lord and took control of the entire outer realm, becoming the Holy Lord herself."
"Heh, that's pretty ruthless." Ye Luo couldn't help but sigh upon hearing this. "So, this is turning grief and indignation into ambition, aggressively expanding one's grand empire all the way."
Lu Xuan listened in stunned silence, and couldn't help but feel ashamed of herself. What kind of female lead story was this? Compared to her, she was just trash.
She couldn't help but fall into deep thought: What exactly is going on in this world? Why are there so many time travelers?!
In this way, Ye Luo had a general understanding of the saintess's past life. He estimated that the seven days were almost up and he couldn't waste any more time, so he asked, "Do you know how to get out?"
Upon hearing this, everyone snapped out of their daze. They were still trapped, and they all looked at her expectantly.
She didn't speak for a moment, but looked up at the endless sea of flowers. After a long while, she said softly, "Don't be afraid, I will take you out."
"Very good!"
"We can go out now!"
Nan Muyin seemed to have thought of something, and stepped forward to bow and ask, "Holy Maiden, there is another layer of restrictions outside the Holy Temple. Do you know how to break it?"
“That’s the protective array of the temple.” After a moment of thought, Saintess Tianyu said, “Over the years… the core of the array has probably been altered by that person, so you probably won’t be able to find it. However, you can try to find the center of the temple and break it with a powerful external force.”
Nan Muyin frowned and said, "You mean using extreme power? Perhaps it can break through the barrier?"
"Yes."
“But…” Yang hesitated slightly, “We just tried it, and it doesn’t seem to have any effect at all.”
When he and Nan Muyin met before, the two of them had tried together, but their sword intent couldn't break through that layer of restriction barrier at all.
Upon hearing Yang Shen's words, everyone couldn't help but feel worried.
After pondering for a moment, the Holy Maiden Tianyu said, "Perhaps... there is a divine weapon that can do it."
"A divine weapon?" Ye Luo's spirits lifted upon hearing this. "Where is it?"
Wasn't his adventure into the secret realm all for the sake of finding some lost divine weapon and robe for that mysterious man in his sea of consciousness?
As it turns out, this guy was a complete slacker. Ever since he entered this ancient battlefield secret realm, he seems to have been in a deep sleep and hasn't woken up yet, let alone been able to help in any way.
Saintess Tianyu gestured for everyone to follow her, then stopped on a central rock and said, "I will open a passage for you. If you follow it, you will see a divine weapon. It once fell from the sky and cleaved the temple in two. It should be no problem to use it to cleave the outer barrier."
"Oh, so that main hall outside was split open by it." Yu Qianling suddenly realized and said excitedly, "Then it's probably feasible! What are we waiting for? Let's go and get it right away!"
A smile appeared in the eyes of the Heavenly Feather Saintess. She clasped her hands together and looked up devoutly. She chanted incantations, and in the blink of an eye, her divine soul transformed into a ray of divine light, instantly opening a void passage.
Ye Luo was somewhat surprised. He realized that opening this passage had come at the cost of burning her divine soul. He opened his mouth and said in a hoarse voice, "You...aren't you coming with us?"
"No need." The ethereal voice of the Heavenly Feather Saintess came, and she sighed softly, "After so many years, my soul is about to dissipate. Consider this my last act of kindness for you."
"Alright, you guys should go now."
"Yes!" The crowd looked sad and bowed solemnly to the sky before walking into the opened passage.
In just a few breaths, as everyone walked out of the passage, the originally open passage gradually began to disappear.
At that moment, a faint voice drifted over, "Everyone, have a safe journey..."
Ye Luo looked up at the end of the passage and saw that otherworldly and beautiful face, with a warm smile on her face, disappear into the distance.
"Is she dead?" Cen Feng asked.
“Fool, she’s long dead.” Yu Qianling couldn’t help but sigh, “But it’s for the best… I won’t have to endure loneliness anymore.”
“Yes.” A gentle glint flashed in Ye Luo’s eyes as she said, “Her soul has also been freed…”
