Chapter 1273: Chapter 545 Wu Ming’s Tomb, Night in the Harem

Wherever I looked, there was nothing but... emptiness.

"Blind Girl?"

Qi Yuan called out again, but unfortunately, where could he find the lovely figure of the Blind Girl at this point?

Qi Yuan’s gaze hastily swept around, his face bearing a puzzled expression.

Now, the place where he stood was weird and illusory, dazzling.

Aside from the paths he remembered traversing, the rest of the area did not form any distinct shapes, as if they had not yet coalesced into matter.

It was as if there were strands of fractured, colorful lines, akin to fireflies, or resembled a heap of numerical gibberish.

[Fragments of nothingness, a Chaos, unknowable, invisible, not to be glimpsed.]

Amidst that confusion and disorder, Qi Yuan sensed a thick feeling of threat.

However, he knew that if he had been an ordinary person, perhaps he would not have been able to see these fragments of nothingness.

His eyes were able to see hidden information, which allowed him to see these things.

Without time to ponder further, Qi Yuan followed the usual road towards the Blind Girl’s dwelling.

Besides the roads that had solidified into matter, everything around was composed of fragments of nothingness.

Similar to gibberish, they were unreachable even if you stretched out your hand.

Of course, Qi Yuan also did not dare to carelessly reach out and touch them.

Soon, he arrived at the Blind Girl’s dwelling.

Originally, in Qi Yuan’s perception, there was a wooden house, a courtyard.

But now, apart from the babbling of a stream, there seemed to be nothing else.

It was as though the memories of old were all an Illusion.

Qi Yuan’s gaze turned solemn.

He then visited other places.

But wherever he looked, aside from the few paths that had formed into substance, the rest were fragments of nothingness.

He stood on the stone path, where the original grounding and sunlight did not exist.

Only on the walls, clinging like fireflies, were the fragments of nothingness.

The fragments of nothingness seemed to be constantly consuming... this material world.

The entirety of the Divine Wood Abyss was empty, aside from Qi Yuan, there were no other Life forms.

Not an ant to be found, not even a Planarian or bacterium.

"Could it be... it’s all fake?"

Qi Yuan frowned.

"So, what exactly is real?"

This matter, it revealed endless strangeness.

He stood all alone in the middle of the Divine Wood Abyss.

The Blind Girl was gone, her house was gone, the swing was gone.

The fruit she had given Qi Yuan to eat was also gone.

"Too bad I don’t poop, otherwise... I might have been able to find some remnants of the fruit."

"Could it be, during this time, I’ve been talking to the air, eating air?"

"That’s not right, the Artifact Refining Technique is real, and my memory won’t deceive me, so... I need to use my intelligent brain."

Qi Yuan pondered seriously.

After all, the strange events happening in the Divine Wood Abyss were not isolated, just like that night of debauchery, the faint scent of flowers.

Until now, Qi Yuan did not know who had pushed him.

If it was fake...

Well, it certainly wasn’t fake, Qi Yuan’s memories were very vivid.

"Regarding the Blind Girl... it’s possible to make some bold speculations."

"One, is there a possibility that she truly existed, but in the end, after having helped me fix the last defect of Shen Lin, she exhausted everything and disappeared without a trace?"

This speculation also had a certain probability.

The Blind Girl did truly exist, but after giving Qi Yuan a spring of life, she expended everything and vanished.

"Two, everything is an Illusion... the blind Artificer actually has a mental illness, the Blind Girl is his fantasy, and she doesn’t exist."

This was also a strong possibility.

In Blue Star, Qi Yuan had seen a movie where the protagonist wanted to learn martial arts, met a Martial God, followed the Martial God to learn, and only in the end discovered that the Martial God did not truly exist, but was a figment of his imagination.

"Three, only being blind... could trigger the condition to see the Blind Girl, now that my eyes are healed, I can’t see her?"

This world harbored too many oddities.

Just as two-dimensional beings cannot imagine three-dimensional ones, ordinary humans can only see light visible to the naked eye.

As for what the naked eye can’t see, they cannot even begin to imagine.

Thinking like this, Qi Yuan closed his eyes.

The world became dim once again.

"Blind Girl?"

He softly called out, only to hear his own echo, with no one responding to him.

He opened his eyes again.

Suddenly, he thought of something.

"The Blind Girl once said that she taught Thornblood the Artifact Refining Technique... If I see Thornblood, wouldn’t I know... if the Blind Girl really exists?"

Thornblood is not a blind person.

"So, find Thornblood!"

"Perhaps everything will be resolved."

With this in mind, Qi Yuan felt a sigh of relief.

No longer hesitating, he looked at the empty Divine Wood Abyss and solemnly said, "Blind Girl, I remember the swing, your eyes... I remember too."

Having said that, his figure disappeared from the Divine Wood Abyss.

Through that tiny speck of light, he went to the Divine Wood Abyss.

In the Divine Wood Abyss, empty and silent.

Suddenly, a wind blew, as if there was the sound of falling leaves, or perhaps the creaking of a swing swaying.

...

Within the Divine Wood Abyss.

The handsome Immortal Spirit looked at Qi Yuan with a curious expression: "I didn’t expect you to recover so quickly from such a serious injury, lithe as a dragon."

The last time he saw Qi Yuan, Qi Yuan was unconscious and dying from severe injuries.

The handsome Immortal Spirit thought that probably only the Realm Lord could truly treat him.

As for other methods, they were likely just superficial cures.

But as it turned out, Qi Yuan easily came back to life.

"Since you’re alive, it looks like I have to end this mission in failure," said the handsome Immortal Spirit with a shrug, a helpless look on his face.

This time, his mission was to help Thornblood transform the Divine Wood into Strange Spirits.

Thereby transforming the Qingshan Realm into the Eerie Realm.

With Qi Yuan, this top combatant present, his chances of completing the mission were doomed.

So he might as well give up on this mission and simply explore the Divine Wood Abyss a bit.
