Capítulo 1422: Chapter 161: Three Days of Self

If within five years one cannot enter the Nine Rules Realm of Eternal Life, then understanding the remaining Immortality Principles, deriving the transformation path of the Immortality Principles, and touching the Domain of the King Realm will become an impossible situation.

So, Zhou Yan agreed.

And he was very determined.

“Your promise is simple. I agreed. So rest assured, three months, six months, one year later, you will know how outstanding I will be. I will let you know that initially, you misjudged. I am not inferior at all, and I am worthy of you.”

Zhou Yan said with a smile.

As if he was completely unaware of Qian Luoshui’s real intentions.

Qian Luoshui did not think much, just nodded slightly, then she glanced at Jiang Hongyi and said, “Hongyi, come with me to comprehend the origin of the Elf Life Ancient Tree.”

“Ah—oh, then what about Xue Fei?”

Jiang Hongyi was taken aback and instinctively asked.

After asking, Jiang Hongyi immediately understood that Qian Luoshui was already giving Lin Xuefei and Zhou Yan an opportunity to be alone, and her pretty face blushed instantly.

However, she did not pretend, immediately following Qian Luoshui’s departure.

Zhou Yan chuckled and said, “You’re so sensible, darling.”

“Shut up!”

Qian Luoshui scolded and immediately left with Jiang Hongyi.

After Jiang Hongyi and Qian Luoshui left, Zhou Yan looked at Lin Xuefei with gentle eyes.

“Zhou Yan… look, my realm has already reached the Third Layer of the Eternal Eight Rules, I’ve never felt cultivation to be so simple and easy, so you can do it too!”

Lin Xuefei said while looking at Zhou Yan with great confidence and without any worry.

She was very obedient, so much so that even though Zhou Yan showed his entanglement with several women earlier, she still looked on so seriously and naively pure, with envy and also a look of blessing and wishing.

Such a pure girl indeed makes men the most tender-hearted.

Zhou Yan did not put on any airs, he liked her just as he liked her.

He smiled, directly pulling Lin Xuefei into his arms, cherishing her lovingly. After a while of intimacy, Lin Xuefei’s delicate body turned soft, her breath a little hurried, then Zhou Yan said, “You are naturally aligned with the King’s Inheritance, so you cultivate fast, but my level is more about mastering the inheritance, comprehending the Thunder Seal Power, etc., so my realm leans towards being more challenging.

However, this is not a major issue, as long as I find some unique King’s Secret Realms, where I can practice diligently, there are still opportunities.

Furthermore, pairing with some unique women for dual cultivation can also be of immense help.”

“This point, I will not force it but seek peace of mind and willingness. After all, none of my women are just my Ding Furnace but true companions, Daoist couples, parts of my other soul body and Eternal Spirit.”

Zhou Yan said.

Such words almost immediately made Lin Xuefei want to offer her first time, to merge with Zhou Yan in a harmonious union.

But Zhou Yan refused, it wasn’t pretentiousness, it’s just that Lin Xuefei’s state was more like an enlightening girl, really still too immature, some foundations were not yet laid.

Moreover, Lin Xuefei had many things that had yet to develop, and her realm had not reached the best state.

In such a situation, Zhou Yan just spoke about some foundational matters, and Lin Xuefei immediately understood.

Even so, she was quite disappointed, then her eyes showed more determination, clearly wanting to work hard on her cultivation and reach the Nine Rules of Eternal Life as soon as possible.

However, as Zhou Yan knew, Lin Xuefei’s situation could, at most, only reach the Nine Great Perfection Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules, and it would truly saturate.

Further progress would not be influenced by the inheritance of the Purple Qi.

This is an ultimate limit.

Jiang Hongyi’s limit, under the influence of Purple Qi, can only reach the Seventh Layer Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

This is still due to the influence of the Purple Qi, otherwise, she could only reach the Fourth Layer Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

And Lin Xuefei, her limit is the Nine Layer Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

Qian Luoshui’s situation, similarly, the limit is the Nine Layer Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

If it weren’t for the modification given by Zhou Yan, Qian Luoshui would likely not break through this limit in three to fifty years in the Nine Layer Realm of the Eternal Eight Rules.

But now, Qian Luoshui’s limit is the Nine Layer Realm of the Nine Rules of Eternal Life.

Reaching this limit, Qian Luoshui needs great fortune and creation to progress further.

Lin Xuefei’s own ability, similarly, after the Nine Layer Realm of the Eight Rules, requires fortune and opportunity to step into the next stages.

And what about Zhou Yan himself?

Zhou Yan has no limits.

So every realm is an extreme.

This is the influence of the principle of things reverting upon reaching an extreme.

So every realm’s transformation may more or less get stuck.

With an opportunity, it can break through instantly; without enlightenment, it can be stuck for countless times.

This is the benefit and the drawback brought by an extremely powerful soul.

Including stepping into the King Realm, it’s the same.

Perhaps, in the earlier stages of cultivation, Zhou Yan seemed very slow and inadequate.

But later on, what Eternal Life Beings lack the least is time.

In the case of lacking time, breaking the realm barrier is not that easy, while opportunities and creation are rather difficult to encounter.

At this time, Zhou Yan has no barriers; a moment of sudden enlightenment can break the realm barrier, which is truly frightening foundation.

Therefore, based on this situation, Zhou Yan agreed with Qian Luoshui.

However, Qian Luoshui did not know this, nor could he discern it.

Qian Luoshui could discern that Zhou Yan disguised as the Master of Thunder Flame and the Master of Heavenly Punishment with some bizarre methods, using a trick to scare some people away.

But such methods cannot be performed repeatedly, nor can they deceive the truly King Realm existences.

Moreover, the more often this tactic is used, the less intimidating it becomes.

And using it once, this ability, is effectively spent.

Precisely because of this, Qian Luoshui’s agreement with Zhou Yan is essentially to encourage Zhou Yan not to stray onto the wrong path, not to resort to messy deception tactics, as such methods cannot ultimately achieve victory openly and honestly.

Qian Luoshui’s thoughts, Zhou Yan saw through thoroughly.

Yet, he did not explain.

Because he, Zhou Yan, is indeed the Master of Thunder Flame, and this method is not a deceit, but the true majesty and intimidation of the Master of Thunder Flame.

Nonetheless, the fall of the Master of Thunder Flame is also a fact, and this method indeed has significant drawbacks, namely, it cannot deceive the true king.

Furthermore, once exposed, his abilities might actually be targeted, which would not be worth the cost.

Under such circumstances, Zhou Yan had to make some gestures.

With the pride of the Master of Heavenly Punishment, even in death, he would certainly punish the disrespectful and not let his prestige be questioned.

Thus, Zhou Yan acted accordingly.

There are many things Zhou Yan cannot explain.

Simply because of insufficient power. And enhancing power is the essential core in the upcoming plan.

Zhou Yan embraced Lin Xuefei; in these few days, he temporarily prepared to do nothing but accompany Lin Xuefei, Qian Xi, Long Xianyin, Jiang Yuning, Ping’er, and others to enjoy some rare moments of tranquility.

Three days passed in such times.

In those three days, Zhou Yan’s relationships with Jiang Yuning, Qian Xi, Long Xianyin, and Lin Xuefei prospered effortlessly.

Moreover, the complete relaxation of the mindset during the mutual time together made Zhou Yan very comfortable.

He quietly waited, without any contemplation of realm and cultivation.

Merely, accompanying the people beside him.

Among them, Zhou Yan alone did not have too intimate actions with Feng Zishuang, but he constantly kept Feng Zishuang by his side in everything.

Initially, Long Xianyin and Lin Xuefei were unaware of Feng Zishuang’s situation.

However, Jiang Yuning timely explained Feng Zishuang’s general situation to Long Xianyin and others.

After knowing all this, all the ladies took special care of Feng Zishuang.

Especially Qian Xi, who, upon learning about Feng Zishuang’s situation, couldn’t help but express her views.

“I think it’s extremely necessary for Sisi to know her situation given that Feng Zishuang once lived some next-life scenarios, and then let Sisi accompany Feng Zishuang at all times.

After all, Sisi is Feng Zishuang’s daughter, and even though Feng Zishuang’s identity has changed significantly, this point cannot be changed.”

“Moreover, such Eternal Spirits possessing Three Souls and Seven Spirits, having ten inherent avatars to live the next life, encountering such situations is very normal. And if Sisi is with Feng Zishuang, I reckon it will significantly aid Feng Zishuang’s recovery.”

“Feng Zishuang might not know, but on this matter, Sisi definitely should know.

Many times, we see Sisi’s sadness in our eyes, particularly these past days, her evident longing for Zhou Yan clearly shows how she’s transferred her longing for her mother to a fatherly love towards him, then how can we bear to hide from her?”

Qian Xi’s proposal was unanimously agreed upon by Long Xianyin, Jiang Yuning, Lin Xuefei, and Ping’er.

Then, the situation of Sisi staying close to Feng Zishuang at all times unfolded.

…

Three days later, seeing Sisi constantly following him, Zhou Yan mistakenly thought this girl was reluctant to leave him, only to later understand the reason, which made Zhou Yan deeply emotionally moved.

In fact, Zhou Yan had considered letting Feng Zishuang and Sisi be together, yet he harbored too many worries, worried Sisi might not accept Feng Zishuang, and concerned about many other things.

Ultimately, Sisi’s behavior made Zhou Yan feel both heartache and guilt.

Sisi has truly grown up, taking responsibility, and possesses a sincere heart.

As Zhou Yan once again gazed at Sisi, his heart was filled with deep affection and love.

And this behavior, sensing, made Sisi gracefully smile at Zhou Yan and happily held Feng Zishuang, talking and laughing like good sisters.

This, indeed, is best.
