Chapter 113

everything started from her beginning to explore the Vision, and even exploring some taboo powers and knowledge.

Lisa saw the scholars going mad in the Avidya Forest.

Those scholars muttering gibberish were all former geniuses of the Akademiya.

They had all gone mad.

By the time she regretted it and reacted, she had already been targeted by the taboo.

It was all too late.

Lisa returned to Mondstadt in despair, became a librarian, and resisted the consumption through sleep every day.

But...

when would such days end?

When would she be consumed to death?

Despair flooded her mind, and suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck Lisa.

No!

This is absolutely wrong!

When she was consumed in the past, although she was disheartened, she had never despaired; she had always been looking for a way to save herself.

Now, she had found Shushan, and Shushan would definitely be able to solve the problem.

Why despair?

The illusion before her was instantly shattered, Lisa’s mind returned, and in an instant, she discovered a streak of light speeding toward her.

Looking closely, it was a flying sword.

It pierced through the air, and if she were hit, she would likely be defeated immediately.

Lisa made a hasty move, and the long-brewing Pale Lightning crashed onto the flying sword, knocking it away.

Lisa didn't dare to be careless, frowned at Ningguang, and said softly:

"What a strange weapon! It actually made me fall into an illusion and feel despair!"

"Is this the weapon of an immortal cultivator?"

Ningguang shook her head with some regret.

Ultimately, her mastery of the Heaven-Heart Bell was not solid enough.

Otherwise, with a surprise attack and Lisa not using that taboo power,

Ningguang could definitely have taken her down easily.

"Although weapons are external forces, for an immortal cultivator, a magical artifact is part of life. My apologies."

Ningguang said softly.

The Heaven-Heart Bell rippled again.

Lisa’s mind was shaken, and she faintly couldn't even control the thunderclouds.

The flying sword was again controlled by Ningguang and rushed toward her.

Lisa didn't dare to hold back, a strange spellbook appeared in her hand, and dense elemental energy soared into the sky.

"Pale Lightning!"

Thick lightning crashed down onto Lisa herself, and the flying sword was knocked away again.

Ningguang couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Right now, she wasn't good at controlling magical artifacts, and even her Sword Control Art was average.

Otherwise, the Sword Control Art would be as fast as lightning and carry the power of heaven and earth, easily cutting through this bit of lightning.

Ultimately, her cultivation was not deep enough.

Zhongli could cut through the Heavenly Tribulation just after mastering the Sword Control Art, but when it came to her, she couldn't even cut through Lisa’s lightning.

Determined to cultivate hard, Ningguang recalled the flying sword.

Staring at Lisa’s figure being swallowed by lightning, a terrifying aura rose.

Lisa’s strength was rapidly increasing.

It seemed she was getting serious.

Ningguang felt helpless, knowing that she, who was not proficient in various spells, could absolutely not bridge the gap to fight.

Even if the opponent wasn't an immortal cultivator.

But since she was already here...

she couldn't just admit defeat without fighting, right?

The Sect Master was still watching, and admitting defeat directly would be too shameful.

The lightning over there had finally ended.

Lisa’s appearance hadn't changed much at this moment.

But there was a purple-black luster flickering in her eyes.

At this moment, the lightning on Lisa’s body had a bit more of a tyrannical aura.

Her expression was incomparably cold, looking as if she had become a different person.

Alice felt worried.

"Lisa used that power again... Zhongli, can your true energy suppress it?"

Zhongli stared at Lisa for a moment and said thoughtfully:

"Why does it feel... so familiar?"

Jiang Yan looked at Zhongli from the side, his face carrying a gentle smile.

A moment later, Zhongli realized and said with surprise:

"It seems... this is the legendary Inner Demon?"

"Something like that."

Jiang Yan spoke, confirming Zhongli’s thought, and then said:

"The origin of a Vision is when a wish reaches its extreme, attracting the gaze of the gods."

"A Vision represents a person’s wishes and dreams, and even memories related to those wishes."

"Then, if one loses their Vision, what do they lose?"

Venti’s expression darkened.

"Wishes!"

"Exactly."

Jiang Yan nodded and continued:

"To be precise, it is losing the most essential part of a person’s mind, and even the power of the soul."

"A Vision can be considered as splitting a part of a person’s mind and storing it within."

"Basically, all Genshin don't think about what losing a Vision represents."

"But clearly, Miss Lisa not only thought about it but also researched the essence of Visions."

"When she faintly guessed that this gift from the gods didn't seem to be a gift, her own will conflicted with the wish within the Vision."

"Coupled with the fact that she had researched taboos outside of Teyvat,"

"she developed a state similar to an Inner Demon, but in the end, it is not an Inner Demon."

Zhongli breathed a sigh of relief and said softly:

"If it were an Inner Demon, it would be troublesome. The power within her is easy to suppress, but an Inner Demon can only be handled by oneself."

"If it is not an Inner Demon, I suppose the Sect Master has a way to solve it?"

Hearing this, Alice and Venti looked at Jiang Yan with anticipation, and Klee also looked at him eagerly.

"Big Brother, can you help Auntie Lisa?"

Jiang Yan smiled and patted Klee’s head, saying softly:

"This is easy to handle. As long as she cultivates immortality, an immortal cultivator will contain all external mind within themselves, with a powerful divine sense and a resilient soul."

"After Keqing and the others began cultivating immortality, didn't they also discard their Visions, and now they don't have any problems, do they?"

Hearing Jiang Yan say this, Alice and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The rest depended on whether Lisa could join Shushan.

On the arena.

Lisa’s expression was cold, and she kept waving her hands to summon ten thousand lightning bolts.

Ningguang had long since started flying with her sword, weaving to avoid Lisa.
