Chapter 451: Change

「The next day.」

Han Yuan woke up feeling refreshed and clear-headed.

He left his room and headed for the deck.

By now, the enormous ship had left the harbor and was sailing across the boundless ocean.

This stretch of the sea was relatively safe, and with so many experts on board, no one thought anything would go wrong.

Everyone was standing leisurely on the deck of the enormous ship, enjoying the ocean view.

Some had even taken out a Go board and started a match.

Others played flutes or the guzheng…

It looked less like they were heading to Glazed Island for a battle to the death and more like they were on vacation.

Everyone aboard this enormous ship was an expert, so they naturally knew how to manage their state of mind.

So, no one said anything about it.

After gazing at the sea for a while, Han Yuan was about to return to his room for Cultivation when he unexpectedly saw someone.

Yan Qingyu.

She was standing by the railing, gazing out at the azure ocean.

“What are you doing on this ship?”

Han Yuan walked over, his voice laced with surprise.

“The members of our Profound Celestial Alliance are all on these ships.”

“How else would we get to Blue Moon Island?”

Yan Qingyu said softly.

The sea breeze blew gently, tussling her hair and giving it a disheveled beauty.

“I thought the Profound Celestial Alliance would be taking its own ship.”

“Does that mean… Senior Li Baozhou is on the ship as well?”

Han Yuan asked softly.

“He’s not on the ship… He’s traveling to Blue Moon Island on his own.”

Yan Qingyu shook her head.

“I see…” Han Yuan nodded.

“Han Yuan… do you think we’ll win?”

Yan Qingyu asked softly.

Han Yuan glanced at her and said quietly, “What’s the matter? Even you lack confidence?”

Yan Qingyu sighed. “I don’t know… I just have a feeling that this won’t go smoothly…”

“Even though the Immortal Sect Organization suffered heavy losses in the Great Li Capital and lost many of their High Priests.”

“But Glazed Island is their stronghold.”

“There’s no telling how many Source Evil Seeds, Evil Demon Seeds, or even pieces of Source Seed Shredded Meat are on that island.”

“I can almost see a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood…”

Han Yuan smiled. “But no matter what, we still have to go.”

“Otherwise, everything the Profound Celestial Alliance has done will have been for nothing.”

Yan Qingyu nodded, then added, “Lately, every night when I sleep, I dream of the bloody scenes from that night in the Great Li Capital… I see countless people wailing and crying out to me…”

“Perhaps my state of mind has been affected.”

Han Yuan frowned and asked, “That night, did you fight the Source Seed Shredded Meat?”

He felt that something was wrong with Yan Qingyu’s mental state.

“I did… but I wasn’t injured.”

“And I’m sure I wasn’t contaminated in any way.”

Yan Qingyu said earnestly.

“I know… but the contamination might not be physical.”

A glint appeared in Han Yuan’s eyes.

After a moment’s thought, he said softly, “Come with me.”

Yan Qingyu wasn’t annoyed; she trusted her own judgment.

But she also trusted Han Yuan.

After all, Han Yuan was the only person in the world who had truly seen a Source Seed.

Even if it was only within a memory.

The person Han Yuan sought was, naturally, Ling Yunzi.

Ling Yunzi was meditating in a quiet room, but upon hearing that Han Yuan was looking for him, he personally rose to greet them.

“Palace Master Han, what brings you here?”

Ling Yunzi asked quietly.

“Daoist Master, I’d like to ask you to perform your Magic Technique again and allow me to enter Miss Yan’s Sea of Consciousness.”

Han Yuan said gravely.

He had already explained his intentions to Yan Qingyu on the way and had gotten her consent.

“Why?”

Ling Yunzi asked, surprised and uncertain.

“Because I suspect Miss Yan’s spirit… may have been affected by the Source Seed Shredded Meat.”

“But I’m not certain, and this is the only way to confirm it.”

Han Yuan explained briefly.

He felt that it was completely illogical for Yan Qingyu’s mindset to have become so fragile, and for her to be having frequent nightmares.

Having reached the Divine Sea Realm through Cultivation, Yan Qingyu’s talent was undeniable; her spirit shouldn’t have been affected by mere scenes of blood and terror.

After hearing Han Yuan’s analysis, Ling Yunzi grew pensive.

That night, he and Liang Ze had been the main force confronting the Source Seed Shredded Meat head-on.

As far as he could tell, he himself was unaffected.

But just because he was fine didn’t mean others were.

Based on Han Yuan’s analysis, Yan Qingyu’s spirit did seem to be acting abnormally.

“Alright!”

“I’ll set up the Array first.”

Ling Yunzi agreed without hesitation.

If Yan Qingyu was indeed affected, it would be a good thing to eliminate the influence early on.

Even if their suspicions turned out to be wrong, they could at least dispel their doubts.

Ling Yunzi quickly drew the Array Patterns in the quiet room.

Han Yuan and Yan Qingyu sat down cross-legged, three meters apart.

This time was different from before.

Since Yan Qingyu was fully conscious, there was no need for the assistance of a Primordial Spirit Talisman.

“Miss Yan, remember, you must not have any thoughts of resistance.”

“Otherwise, Han Yuan’s spirit will not be able to enter your Sea of Consciousness.”

Ling Yunzi instructed her earnestly.

“I understand,” Yan Qingyu nodded.

She immediately centered her spirit, bringing herself into a relaxed state.

Han Yuan did the same.

Once Ling Yunzi sensed their states, he immediately performed the Magic Technique, drawing out a thread of soul to connect Han Yuan and Yan Qingyu.

Han Yuan’s Heart Spirit stirred, and he followed the soul thread directly into Yan Qingyu’s Sea of Consciousness.

HUMMM~

Soon.

Han Yuan found himself in a garden.

The garden was vast, planted with many vibrant flowers. In the center was a pond, where countless colorful koi could be seen swimming about.

Everything looked perfectly beautiful.
