Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1414 - 153: Elf Domain Sea

In such circumstances, the rules of this Elf Ancient Land began to change quite naturally.

For the Elves, this means that Zhou Yan, having obtained the true inheritance of Emperor Lei Yan in the Land of Heavenly Punishment, is now qualified to become the Domain Master of the Elf Domain.

Zhou Yan also felt this Supreme Dao rule imprint, something he had once arranged himself, and naturally understood the power and impact of this force.

Within this impact, any beings with disloyalty towards the Elf Domain would have to reconsider temporarily.

After Zhou Yan appeared, Yamina brought Ping’er, Feng Zishuang, the three Great Elders, and many core Elf disciples to see him.

Zhou Yan didn’t immediately focus on Yamina but instead on Feng Zishuang.

Zhou Yan noticed that one of Feng Zishuang’s eyes had regained its spiritual color, but the other was still hollow, unfocused.

Moreover, although Feng Zishuang’s hands appeared normal, they were in fact just for show.

Zhou Yan finally understood why, in the True Void before the Netherworld Heavenly Road, he had a special feeling about Feng Zishuang, as if she were Mo Yuyao.

Because she is.

However, some things have ultimately changed over the years, some being the same, while others different.

The same is that regardless of the identity, the emotion remains unchanged.

All along, she has remained by Zhou Yan’s side.

The difference is the different life forms—different personalities.

Perhaps, in Feng Zishuang’s heart, she actually wanted to embody the most unforgettable woman for Zhou Yan, truly staying by his side forever, thus was willing to change herself in various ways.

Of course, Zhou Yan also understood that this was partly due to Zhou Wangchen, or Jiang Shang, and partly due to Li Su Nu, who is the sister of Lee Ling. Lee Ling is an avatar of Fu Xi.

Now Zhou Yan understood who Li Su Nu was.

Li Su Nu is one of the avatars of Nuwa.

This was something Zhou Yan could not have known before.

But now he knows.

Yet these are not important.

What matters is how to restore Feng Zishuang.

This is more challenging than restoring Yamina.

Zhou Yan looked at Feng Zishuang and then approached her.

Feng Zishuang was a bit dazed, but subconsciously very intimate with Zhou Yan.

She stared blankly at Zhou Yan and said, "You, are you that... young master?"

By "young master," she meant Gles.

Gles was an identity assumed by the Demon Heart Sword Body avatar.

It existed to protect the Yuan Magnetic Light Array in Yamina’s hands.

Thus, Gles could easily deceive Mo Yuyao back then, causing her to be afflicted with Soul Poison.

This fact was unknown to Gles at the time.

The Demon Heart Sword Body had memory block, so even it didn’t know.

Mo Yuyao didn’t know.

Zhou Yan didn’t know either.

But now Zhou Yan knows, and everything is very simple.

"Yes, from now on, continue to stay by my side."

Zhou Yan said.

His words were indisputable, not needing anyone’s opinion — including Yamina’s.

And Yamina had already realized that Zhou Yan had changed.

She was happy but also worried.

Happy that Zhou Yan had obtained the inheritance, returning silently; worried that Zhou Yan was treading the past path, perishing at the last hurdle.

"Yamina, from now on you are Jiang Yuning, and Yamina shall forever remain in the past."

Zhou Yan raised his head, looking at Yamina and said.

Yamina’s delicate body trembled, immediately understanding that her worry was no longer the issue.

"Ning’er, meet the Lord."

"Yalis greets the Lord."

"Yalina greets the Domain Master."

"Yasna greets the Domain Master."

The three Elf Elders also bowed and saluted.

They had no doubts or opposition to Zhou Yan’s words because the rules of inheritance in the Elf Domain had already announced to the entire Zimei Emperor Star.

This is recognition.

Since the rules acknowledged, how could they not acknowledge Zhou Yan?

As for the Realm, the Realm is not the issue.

"Okay, you may rise. Ning’er will lead you for now. I have other things to address. Ping’er, your task is to take good care of Zishuang."

"Additionally, activate the Elf Secret Realm, I will once again initiate the Source of Life to strengthen the Secret Realm, making your realms more stable. For seven days, the Elf Domain will be completely sealed.

Ning’er, issue an invitation to the forces of the other eleven major domains to pay homage to our Elf Domain."

Zhou Yan’s words were calm, yet possessed a unique commanding presence.

Immediately, Jiang Yuning and the three Great Elders, along with all the elves, bowed in acceptance.

Zhou Yan continued, "I will visit the Elf Domain Sea. In seven days, I will return, and then you can be at ease."

"However, you must continue to pay attention to Zishuang, monitor her changes, and use the method of time to record them. When I return, pass them on to me."

"Additionally, Long Xianyin’s talent is excellent; she may cultivate the Elf Secret Technique, and there is no need to hide this."

"Afterwards, Ping’er, come to me. Your talent qualifies you to cultivate the Three Pure Ones Technique."

"Ning’er, when I return, I will dual cultivate the Eternal Spirit with you, to let you know there is an Origin that is extremely powerful."

Speaking calmly, Zhou Yan said all this, and Jiang Yuning felt both shy and touched. Although Zhou Yan’s tone seemed cold, this was due to the inheritance, which Jiang Yuning understood.

Yet, the underlying affection in Zhou Yan’s words allowed Jiang Yuning to feel it, thus she felt like the clouds over her head had cleared.

After issuing a series of commands, Zhou Yan gazed into the distant sky, momentarily lost in thought.

"Domain Master, our strength is weak, and at that time, even if the other domains come, they might not have any sincerity."

"It is quite likely that this is an action similar to inviting wolves into the house."

"Domain Master, we do not doubt your decision, but our Elf Domain is currently weak."

Having suffered much oppression and disdain, the three Elf Elders cautiously expressed their concerns.

"Yalis, Yalina, Yasna. About this matter, you need not worry. Those who come with sincerity will leave with sincerity. Those who come with ulterior motives will remain here forever. The Master of Heavenly Punishment is no longer here, but that commanding presence remains."

Zhou Yan spoke calmly.

He glanced at the three Elf Elders, all of whom possessed the Eternal Life Seven Rules Realm, but their demeanor was lacking, having lost their edge.

However, such an aura can grow once the Elf Domain deals a commanding presence to the world.

This is not difficult.

"Yes... Domain Master."

The three Elf Elders bowed and departed.

Later, Zhou Yan imparted the Purple Qi Technique to Ping’er, whose eyes sparkled with excitement, gazing at Zhou Yan fondly, seemingly longing for an embrace.

Zhou Yan did not distance himself from Ping’er; he reached out to embrace her gently and gave her nose a playful rub, saying, "Don’t worry, once I handle some matters, everything will be fine."

This tone was a bit warmer, yet still carried a hint of coldness.

This, however, was due to Zhou Yan not having fully merged with the Eternal Spirit; the eternal spirit is too powerful, while Zhou Yan’s Soul Body Realm is too weak, hence this formidable aura, leading to such a situation.

But, gradually getting accustomed to it will make it better.

Zhou Yan’s slightly warmed words made Ping’er’s heart race, almost bringing her to tears.

Yet she held back, very obediently and cleverly beginning to comprehend the Purple Qi Tao imparted by Zhou Yan, approaching the understanding of the Three Pure Ones Technique.

Once Zhou Yan arranged all situations, he did not tell anyone or seek out Long Xianyin and the others, choosing to head alone toward the Elf Ancient Tree Land.

In the Elf Ancient Tree Land, Zhou Yan activated an ancient Emperor Seal, opened the source of the Elf Heart, and stepped inside.

Then, enveloped by the Elf Ancient Tree, Zhou Yan ventured into the depths of the Elf Domain Sea.

The Elf Domain Sea is, in fact, a land of sin, a place of exile.

This situation bears a striking resemblance to the Soul Burying Starfield, but the dangers of the Elf Domain Sea are such that even kings would face peril within, let alone eternal beings?

Yet Zhou Yan is not worried.

Upon entering the depths of the Domain Sea, it is as though he reached the world’s end of eternal life, or as if he returned to its origin.

This is an endless desolate domain. Although it is called a domain sea, it is not actually a sea.

Along the way, Zhou Yan saw many bones, not truly corpses but dried-up eternal spirits.

They resemble mummies of eternal spirits.

These eternal spirits have long lost their origin; even if powerful origin is infused into them, there is no hope for revival.

Such eternal spirits, there are many.

So many that they pile into heaps of corpse mountains.

Heaps of corpse mountains, their long black hair interwoven, endlessly floating in the gravity-less void like terrifying withered branches and leaves.

And those empty eyes of the eternal spirits, in that dark and eerie state, are chilling to the heart.

Like the scene deep within the Immortal Pool of the Yaochi Ancestral Land.

Zhou Yan, undaunted by such things, naturally feared nothing.

If before he might have been daunted by such scenarios, then after truly reclaiming the Demon Heart Sword Body, this Thunder Punishment Origin made Zhou Yan fearless.

No matter how terrifying something bursts forth behind him, he wouldn’t even flinch.

Zhou Yan moves through this realm, the energy of Thunder Seal sweeping around him, dispersing unknown and vile soul poison.

Indeed, soul poison—

A trace of soul poison could utterly desolate eternal spirits.

But Zhou Yan’s eternal spirit, endowed with the realm and will of the Thunder Punishment Sovereign, resists all evil; he is immune to these poisons.

Zhou Yan advanced and in a suspended airspace, he saw a severed finger.

The finger bent, from the base had exploded, with a blasting force extraordinarily strong, evident from the scattered blood and skin.
