"My name is Li Yao. As for other questions, you don't need to ask. Knowing too much won't do you any good!"
Li Yao said in a deliberately mysterious way.
"Then what brings you to Qingluan Peak? Do you really intend to take the Wangshu Sword?"
"If that's the case, I'd rather risk my life than let you take the Wangshu Sword!"
At this point, Yun Tianhe already knew that he was no match for Li Yao.
However, the Wangshu Sword held extremely important significance for him.
Therefore, he would risk his life to protect the Wangshu Sword.
To his surprise, the other party replied, "Actually, I'm not interested in the Wangshu Sword. The reason I said that was just to test my skills against you and see how strong you are."
"You...know who I am?"
Yun Tianhe was quite clever and quickly realized this.
Because the other party would not test his strength for no reason, nor would they recognize the Wangshu Sword.
Therefore, the other party must know something about him.
This made Yun Tianhe even more curious about Li Yao's identity.
Unfortunately, Li Yao refused to reveal his origins, and he had no way to press him further.
"You are Yun Tianhe!"
Li Yao smiled faintly, turned his gaze to Liu Mengli, and said, "As for the woman beside you, she should be Liu Mengli, the former ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm."
In the final stages of the Legend of Sword and Fairy 4, Chanyou passed the position of Lord of the Illusionary Dream Realm to her daughter Liu Mengli, and Chanyou fell into a deep sleep due to the depletion of too much spiritual power.
A hundred years later, perhaps Liu Mengli will find a new successor, or perhaps Chanyou will awaken.
Therefore, Liu Mengli resigned from her position as the ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm and came to Qingluan Peak to search for Yun Tianhe.
Therefore, Li Yao was not wrong to say that Liu Mengli was the former ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm.
"You...you actually knew me too?!"
Yun Tianhe and Liu Mengli were even more shocked.
They didn't expect that Li Yao not only knew Liu Mengli's name, but also her identity.
Could Li Yao be a figure from hundreds of years ago?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so clear about these situations.
"I have a question for Miss Liu Mengli!"
Li Yao looked at Liu Mengli and said.
Actually, if you calculate based on age, Liu Mengli is several hundred years old.
However, like Xiaobai, Liu Mengli belongs to the long-lived demon race and possesses the ability to remain youthful.
Therefore, she looks to be only in her twenties or thirties, very young.
Moreover, Liu Mengli was still dressed like an unmarried woman. Although she exuded a mature aura, she still looked very young.
"What's the problem?"
Liu Mengli asked in confusion.
"Is the current ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm your mother?"
Li Yao asked.
Liu Mengli was taken aback, her delicate brows furrowing slightly as she asked, "Why are you asking this?"
"It's nothing, I'm just curious. If you don't want to answer, I won't force you!"
Li Yao shrugged.
"..."
Liu Mengli hesitated for a moment, and then said, "You guessed right, the current ruler of the Illusionary Dream Realm is my mother."
Li Yao nodded.
Then, he turned his gaze to Yun Tianhe and said, "Yun Tianhe, I also have a question I want to ask you."
"Excuse me!"
Yun Tianhe, having learned that Li Yao had no intention of seizing the Wangshu Sword, no longer harbored any hostility towards Li Yao.
"Why did the Qionghua Sect have to use the Xihe and Wangshu swords to bind the Illusionary Darkness Realm?"
Li Yao asked.
"Since you know about the Xihe and Wangshu swords and the situation of the Qionghua Sect, you should also know why the Qionghua Sect has bound the Illusionary Dream Realm."
Yun Tianhe asked in confusion.
"Yes, I heard that the Qionghua Sect coveted the powerful spiritual energy of the Illusionary Dream Realm and wanted to use it to allow all the disciples of the Qionghua Sect to ascend to immortality together."
"I also heard that when Dao Yin Zhenren was the head of the Qionghua Sect, he observed the stars at night and discovered that the Illusionary Realm approached the Qionghua Sect every nineteen years, and that the Illusionary Realm possessed powerful spiritual energy."
"I'm very curious, how did Dao Yin Zhenren determine that there is powerful spiritual energy in the Illusionary Meditation Realm?"
Li Yao had always been puzzled by this.
Li Yao believed that Dao Yin Zhenren could discover, through observing the stars at night, that the Illusionary Dream Realm approached the Qionghua Sect once every nineteen years.
But how did he know about the powerful spiritual energy in the Illusionary Dream Realm?
There is only one entrance to the Illusionary Realm, and the entrance is protected by a powerful barrier, so there should be no leakage of spiritual energy.
With Dao Yin Zhenren's level of cultivation, it would be impossible for him to detect the spiritual power of the Illusionary Meditation Realm through a powerful barrier.
Therefore, there must be another hidden story behind this.
As a former disciple of the Qionghua Sect, Yun Tianhe might know this secret.
"Your question reminds me of something."
Yun Tianhe's face suddenly showed some emotion.
He paused for a moment, then continued, "I once heard Brother Xuanxiao say that Senior Daoyin once received guidance from a master and began to forge the Xihe and Wangshu Yin-Yang Twin Swords. It took three leaders of the Qionghua Sect working diligently to finally forge the Xihe and Wangshu Twin Swords."
"Expert guidance?"
Li Yao's eyes lit up, and he asked, "Who is this expert?"
"I don't know about that!"
Yun Tianhe shook his head and said, "However, Brother Xuanxiao should know."
At this point, his face immediately darkened.
He always regarded Xuanxiao as his elder brother, and even helped Xuanxiao find the Three Cold Artifacts, allowing Xuanxiao to break free from the ice seal.
Although he later learned that Xuanxiao had used him.
However, he still regarded Xuanxiao as his elder brother.
However, Xuanxiao was punished by the Heavenly Emperor Fuxi for wanting to defy the heavens and ascend to immortality. He was cast into the deepest part of the East Sea whirlpool and imprisoned for a thousand years.
Xuanxiao must still be suffering in the East China Sea whirlpool.
"Looks like we'll have to make another trip to the East China Sea whirlpool!"
Li Yao glanced at Xiao Bai and said.
There's still some time before the Illusionary Dream Realm gets close to Kunlun, so he still has time to make a trip to the East Sea Vortex.
He had previously told Xiaobai that he would take her out for a trip.
So he took this opportunity to take Xiaobai around to see the world of the Legend of Sword and Fairy, and at the same time investigate the mystery, which was killing two birds with one stone.
"Alright, we won't bother you any longer. Goodbye!"
Li Yao cupped his hands in greeting to Yun Tianhe and Liu Mengli, and was about to leave.
Xiao Bai spoke up, "Wait a minute, I want to see the Wangshu Sword."
Upon hearing this, Yun Tianhe immediately tensed up and exclaimed, "You are not..."
"Don't be nervous. I'm just a little curious about the Wangshu Sword. I'll play with it for a bit and then leave."
Xiao Bai smiled slightly.
As she spoke, she walked toward the Wangshu Sword.
The moment Xiaobai approached the Wangshu Sword, something strange happened...
Chapter 499 The Wangshu Sword Recognizes Its Master
The moment Xiaobai approached the Wangshu Sword, something strange happened.
The Wangshu Sword, which had been dull and lifeless just moments before, suddenly began to glow with an icy blue light.
Immediately afterwards, the Wangshu Sword began to tremble incessantly, as if trying to break free from the soil, and emitted a low, buzzing sound.
"ah?"
"Wangshu Sword..."
Upon seeing this strange scene, Liu Mengli's eyes widened, and she exclaimed in surprise.
"What's wrong? What happened to the Wangshu Sword?"
Yun Tianhe is blind and cannot see the unusual situation that has occurred with the Wangshu Sword.
"The Wangshu Sword suddenly emitted a pale blue light and was trembling incessantly, as if it wanted to break free from the soil."
Liu Mengli recounted what she had seen to Yun Tianhe.
"Was it when the girl who spoke earlier approached the Wangshu Sword that this strange situation occurred?"
Yun Tianhe's expression shifted, and he quickly asked.
"It seems so!"
