Chapter 1257: Chapter 538: Blind _2

"It’s in the far western part of Rakshasa Country, the land of the setting sun."

Qi Yuan looked up, scanning the scattered stars, "Is there a more specific description?"

"It’s beneath Sunset Cliff."

Divine Wood Abyss was a hidden place, not known to all, but Sunset Cliff was quite famous.

"Old man, do you know of Sunset Cliff?" Qi Yuan asked casually.

"I do," Chen Kangbao hurriedly replied, "I heard the tale of Quark Chasing the Sun when I was a child."

Quark Chasing the Sun?

Qi Yuan fell silent.

Once, he had told many stories to the Voice of Silence.

The modified kind.

Among them was Quark Chasing the Sun.

"Quark had a brother named Quaf, a towering figure, his feet planted firm upon the earth, his head touching the heavens, chasing the sun until his demise.

Although Quark was born small, invisible to the human eye, he couldn’t bear to see his brother fall and followed in Quaf’s footsteps, chasing the sun, until... the sun fell into Sunset Cliff and he leapt down after it."

"...What a touching story, the person who created it must have been very profound," Qi Yuan commented.

"In the Royal Palace treasury, I found a map of Qingshan Realm, young master, do you want to go to Sunset Cliff?" Chen Kangbao said.

"Yes," Qi Yuan nodded.

At that moment, a message from Ji Wuyun came through the Divine Wood Order.

"Shall we meet?" She was somewhat afraid to go to Divine Wood Abyss.

"If you’re scared, you might as well give the Divine Wood Order to Brother Qi Yuan," a Thornblood employee suggested.

Ji Wuyun hesitated before finally saying, "I’ll go."

"I estimate I’ll be there in a month, let’s meet then, and I hope there won’t be any accidents this time when we meet face to face."

"Ah, I just jinxed it."

"But no matter, I’m so lucky, the accident surely won’t happen to me."

...

Traveling by star and moon, he rode swiftly through the early night.

Braving the rain and enduring the hardships of the road, his journey was hard.

This time, Qi Yuan traveled quickly, reaching Sunset Cliff ahead of the scheduled month.

Sunset Cliff lay to the west of the heavens, its terrain rugged with stones and scarce vegetation.

A sunset fell, as though plummeting into the chasm ahead.

"Young master, there’s a monument here," Chen Kangbao said.

He read the inscription on the monument, reciting, "In ancient times, there was a tree, Jing standing profound and recondite. Now I think of thee, as the tree yearns for spring. Minute by minute, do not come seeking."

The voice was distant, carrying a desolate vastness.

The carriage curtain was drawn back, and a tall figure descended from the carriage.

Upon a closer look, one would notice his pupils lacked focus.

He was thinly dressed, his face had flesh, yet his aura seemed solitary and despondent.

Sunset Cliff was by no means a secluded location; in fact, it was a popular place for many young men and women to visit.

Numerous people took notice of this pair of servants, and when they saw the handsome young master, a look of regret and disappointment appeared in their eyes.

So handsome, yet unfortunately blind.

The young man was, of course, Qi Yuan.

A few days ago, the restrictions of May had fallen upon him, and he could only impersonate a blind Artificer.

Moreover, if he did not complete this role-playing, he would continue to remain in this state.

The main characteristic of a blind Artificer was blindness.

Secondly, he was solitary by nature, with the madness of a genius Artificer.

Lastly, he had no wife, no friends, and was faring worse than the son-in-law Qi Yuan.

As soon as he began impersonating a blind Artificer, Qi Yuan felt much more solitary.

He was also blind.

Everywhere he looked, was pitch black, or a red light.

"Is it up ahead? Let me feel it," Qi Yuan said, aware of the monument.

He had once inadvertently heard someone whispering, "Minute by minute, do not come seeking."

He was quite curious about this monument.

"Be careful, young master, there are many stones on the ground," Chen Kangbao warned.

"Don’t worry, although I am blind, am I going to be tripped by stones... And fall into Sunset Cliff?"

Qi Yuan approached the monument.

Behind him, the warning voice of a young girl came through.

"Blind man, don’t go forward, this path is not smooth, be careful not to slip into it."

Qi Yuan nodded, ignoring her.

A blind Artificer was always solitary, not fond of conversation; to play the role, he naturally had to imitate.

"This guy doesn’t appreciate kindness," the young girl muttered, feeling indignant, "He still ought to fall..."

Before she could finish her sentence, the young girl’s eyes suddenly widened, "Someone help! Someone fell into Sunset Cliff!"

The one who had fallen into Sunset Cliff was none other than the blind young master.

His hand had just touched the stone monument when, for some unknown reason, he suddenly tumbled down into Sunset Cliff.

A young woman angrily slapped herself in the face; she really jinxed it.

Although the blind old man was rude, he didn’t deserve death.

"This person fell into Sunset Cliff... looks like his body will not be found."

"Why are his servants not worried at all? Could it be..." some conspiracy theorists whispered.

Many people boldly looked down Sunset Cliff, only to see clouds and mist, nothing else.

"The young master is a Heavenly God descended to the mortal world, how could he die?" Chen Kangbao sat next to him, not anxious, calmly waiting.

...

"He actually fell?"

The sound of the wind kept ringing in his ears, Qi Yuan didn’t resist, his thoughts were somewhat reviving.

He clearly just touched the stele, but suddenly a force he couldn’t resist swept over him, and he fell from Sunset Cliff.

In mid-air, with his strength, he should have been able to step on his left foot with his right and fly back into the sky.

However, he seemed to smell something different, and after thinking about it, he let himself continue to fall.

"Leaves, grass, flowing water..."

Qi Yuan heard these sounds.

He also smelled a rich vitality.

"Not good... my Divine Power..." Suddenly, Qi Yuan was a bit surprised, as his Divine Power was significantly weakened in this area.

"Is this a place cut off from heaven and earth?"

"Am I going to die from the fall?"

Qi Yuan was speechless. If he were to die from falling in this game, that would be extremely embarrassing.

However, he still had a faint trace of Divine Power within him.

Without hesitation, he propelled himself upward forcefully to lessen the force of his fall.

"Hopefully... I’ll land in a river."

If he hit the rocks, the fall would be disastrous.

Flutter!

A soft resistance hit him, Qi Yuan felt like he crashed into many ropes or a net.

The powerful impact made his heart feel as if it was being hammered, and he coughed out blood from his mouth, mixed with fragments.

He hadn’t been injured in the battle against the Six Gods, but now he was hurt from falling off the cliff, which left Qi Yuan speechless.

At this moment, his injuries were quite severe, and his body was wrapped in ropes.

"Cough, cough..."

He coughed again, his breath weak.

"The closer to the valley floor, the stronger the binding, my current strength... is probably only slightly better than that of an ordinary person."

These injuries were serious for Qi Yuan.

It would be laughable if he died here.

At that moment, a rustling sound came, as though someone was walking on dry, yellow leaves.

Qi Yuan struggled to look towards the source of the sound.

Unfortunately, he was now blind and couldn’t see anything clearly.

"Who’s there? Are you alive?"

A pleasant, crisp voice came, filled with curiosity and a faint aloof coldness.

"Cough, cough... Alive, fell from above," Qi Yuan mustered the strength to speak.

His hand forcefully threw off the ropes that were on him.

"Did you break my swing?" The voice came again.

"A swing, perhaps..." Qi Yuan struggled to speak; his injuries were serious, and he felt weaker. If he continued to talk, he might pass out.

"You owe me!" the clear and cold voice came again, unquestionable.

"Save me... I’ll repay you with ten thousand!" After finishing this sentence, Qi Yuan’s mind became blurry, and finally, he couldn’t hold on any longer and fell unconscious.

"Okay."

"Where are you?"

"Why aren’t you speaking?"

"Did you die?"

"Should I... bury you under the tree, use you as fertilizer?"

The woman cautiously approached, walking gingerly.

If Qi Yuan could still see the light, he would discover that the woman before him... was a Blind Girl.

In the end, the Blind Girl stopped in front of Qi Yuan, her lifeless eyes revealing complicated emotions.

"No one has come here... in a long time."

Her slender hand rested on Qi Yuan’s chest, her expression serious.

"These injuries... so severe, he almost died."

She looked upon this young man she couldn’t see, hesitated slightly, then bit into her pale arm.

Blood dripped into Qi Yuan’s mouth.

Her complexion turned as pale as paper.

"I want to go out..."
