Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1423 - 162: Elf Domain King City

"In these three days of preparation, I’ve brought forth all my resources, merging the Elf Secret Realm with the Heavenly Dao of Hongmeng Sky, deriving Chaotic Power and various protective formations of causality, combined with your Thunder Seal. For these three days, all your Eternal Spirits have been at my disposal, nearly exhausting all their potency."

"But it was truly worth it."

"This place is your strongest fortress, integrated with the nearly intelligent chip system you provided. Combining the power of technology with the Heavenly Mechanism Skill allows for smart and autonomous recognition of all threats, coupled with the true void of the Thunder Seal and the Heavenly Calculation Skill of Heaven and Earth, possessing numerous abilities."

"This location is no inferior to the King’s Sacrificial Heaven City of the past Thunder Flame Monarch."

"Zhou Yan, after this event, my Sword Soul Body will need to fall into endless slumber. From now on, the realm power of the Eternal Spirit will accompany me in sleep. Therefore, your Eternal Spirit, I have temporarily separated a pure Eternal Spirit for you, which is greatly beneficial for your cultivation. The extracted Eternal Spirit controls the Thunder Seal, but without any realm. This can also prevent being schemed against by the King."

"Our cooperation has now fully commenced. From this point onwards, you will assist me in obtaining the Desolate Domain Divine Weapon, and I will guide you step by step in your growth."

Finally, it may be necessary for me to rely on your power to reopen Hongmeng, derive Chaos, and refound the gods."

Hong Jun Ancestor elaborated on the arrangements over these three days.

Indeed, on the surface, Zhou Yan and everyone live completely at ease, like ordinary people.

In reality, during these three days, Zhou Yan has been a true ordinary person, all his abilities handed over to Hong Jun Ancestor’s control.

And the Elf Secret Realm was transformed into a King’s Secret Realm City.

This city, formed by an ancient Life Ancient Tree, is impervious to all evil.

This ancient tree can even withstand the anger of the King without any damage.

This fact can secretly prove that the existence of the Master of Thunder Flame is indeed not just an illusion.

And after the third day, an impending pilgrimage is about to become another dispute.

A truly challenging nature of dispute.

This time, facing this situation, only Zhou Yan remains.

"Everything went incredibly smoothly; the Tao in my heart is entirely organized, ready to be unleashed by tomorrow."

"As for future assistance, Ancestor, rest assured, Zhou Yan remembers this. After all, Zhou Yan can have this independent existence in this life, the most crucial bloodlines are the Pan Emperor Bloodline, Xuanyuan Bloodline, and so forth—all granted by Ancestor, who is effectively Zhou Yan’s Ancestor too. Zhou Yan cherishes the future of the Human Clan, pledging to strive wholeheartedly, even to death."

Zhou Yan spoke with utmost sincerity.

"I know your heart, hence I hold nothing back. Otherwise, with my ability, I would have simply awaited the quiet coming of the great calamity. When all is annihilated, then reappear, there’s no reason I can’t reconstruct Chaos Primordial."

"However, is this current situation not a better choice?"

"Zhou Yan, today you’ve truly grown; no regrets remain. Relationships and sentiments are no longer burdens, and you now have the capability to protect your everything.

Therefore, the core of future cultivation is realm advancement.

This matter, simple yet difficult."

"I’ll guide you to three locations: first, the Silent Annihilation Ancient City of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas.

The ancient city is a Land of Silence, possessing unique life forms, which are powerful and those once devoted life forms, but with the extinction of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, the devotion transformed. Therefore, this silent city is a place to quickly enhance strength.

Moreover, once—once some life forms from this place are recovered, leading them into the Elf Secret Realm, our forces will expand immediately."

"The second place is the Dark Ancient City deep within the Elf Domain Sea."

"Dark Ancient City belongs to the lineage of Ghost life forms, ancient and reclusive, yet exceedingly powerful."

"In the depths of the Elf Domain Sea, it is perilous, yet possible to last long therein, essential to grasp the Creation Path."

"The third location is the Heavenly Court."

"Yes, you heard right, the legendary Heavenly Court. But this Heavenly Court is also called the ’Soul Suppressing Treasure Tower Realm,’ located within the Soul Suppressing Treasure Tower.

The Soul Suppressing Treasure Tower is the embodiment of the tower-shaped mark, not the domain of the Lord of Sin, but the Lord of Sin has acquired certain powers of the tower.

However, the space within the tower remains stable and unobscured.

Although the Lord of Sin cannot control the Heavenly Court within the tower, he can send puppets to impersonate life forms within, seize power and usurp, ultimately controlling the Heavenly Court.

And within the Heavenly Court, resides the Sovereign of Turquoise Pool Immortal Spirit.

Thus, if necessary, subduing this woman would be stronger than any methods.

However, this task has already been taken on by Hua Qiudao—you, your competitive capacity is quite substantial."

"And within, there is equally remarkable cultivation method capable of swiftly elevating your realm."

"These three places, are secondary."

"Additionally, the overall path you must walk is to form strategic alliances, uniting certain forces in the short term, creating a unique communal advancement relationship.

Because I foresee that soon, the Evil Master will likely instruct the Lord of Ice and Snow, issuing distinct invasion orders. Then, the life form war will truly commence.

Certain sect forces, weaker domains, will become parasitized by evil spirits, then that sudden explosion of terrifying forces will spread like a virus in fury."

"Therefore, we must quickly come up with countermeasures. When necessary, we should use powerful means to take control of all the genius core female leaders of those domains."

"Once all those Sovereign women become your women and submit to you, you will have won thirty percent of this battle."

Hong Jun Ancestor was making the final arrangements.

He knew Zhou Yan also had his own views, but he would appropriately offer his thoughts to Zhou Yan for reference on certain strategies.

This wasn’t to make Zhou Yan change his original intentions and blindly follow, but rather to give him more choices when contemplating and cultivating.

Zhou Yan understood this, so he gave Hong Jun Ancestor a reassuring look.

After that, Hong Jun Ancestor fell into the Thunderflame Yuan Ci Sword and silently went to sleep.

And the Hong Jun Sword merely became stronger than the Xuanyuan Sword, no longer possessing the power to seize the Creation of Heaven and Earth.

Moreover, Zhou Yan’s Eternal Spirit’s realm under the Eternal Nine Rules also disappeared, leaving only an incredibly pure Eternal Spirit and a complete Thunder Seal inheritance.

All other major trump cards were temporarily exhausted and fell into slumber along with Hong Jun Ancestor.

Zhou Yan knew this was a form of protective measure by Hong Jun Ancestor for him.

With powerful cognition and rich experiences, Zhou Yan naturally had a deep understanding of all this.

He knew that now he did not need to rely on some trump cards, but rather, like Qian Luoshui saw, he needed to truly grow stronger himself.

"Ancestor, don’t worry, all of this will soon be better."

"Five years, just five years."

"In five years, perhaps I’ll reach the Nine Rules and Nine Layers Realm."

"Perhaps, even if I don’t reach it, I’ll be pretty close."

"And furthermore, how could I, Zhou Yan, be so pedantic? It’s just about taking a few female spirits, even if these female spirits are in various states of disrepair, how could I not know the give and take for the future hope of the Human Clan?"

"If I don’t form alliances and establish relations with these powerful forces, and in the future, these forces defect to the side of the Lord of Ice and Snow, the result will further compound my difficulties.

If by then, the Elf Domain is completely breached, everything will vanish.

How could I not be clear about this?"

"So, Ancestor, rest assured."

"For the future hope of the Human Clan, for the true transcendence of the Eternal Spirit, to not let this dreadful ’eternal life’ destroy the last inheritance, I will stop at nothing."

"I no longer have the arrogance and stubbornness of the past, nor those drawbacks. And all this makes me realize how fearsome a King with self-will and emotion can be."

...

Zhou Yan contemplated internally, extremme confidence radiating from his eyes.

This confident glow was enough to overshadow the ten blazing suns hanging in the Void.

After a moment’s reflection, Zhou Yan began the final arrangements.

Nowadays, having regained his abilities, Zhou Yan grasped Enlightenment, naturally transforming his realm to the Eternal Three Rules and Triple Realm.

This process was not difficult.

And with Zhou Yan’s disposition, transcending to this level was hardly a breeze, it merely took a thought.

This resulted from insights settled in the Elf Domain Sea over these few days.

As for energy, possessing the Origin Energy of the Elf Life Ancient Tree made such transformation not difficult.

Moreover, not all of Zhou Yan’s trump cards were temporarily ineffective, as the Mantis Woman, that One Autumn in the Eternal Seventh Seven Rules, still lived, and a casual strand of her Original Qi was sufficient for Zhou Yan’s energy requirements during breakthrough.

The Eternal Seventh Seventh Layer of this realm wasn’t particularly powerful, but for Zhou Yan, it was enough.

With Zhou Yan’s capabilities, using the Mantis Woman’s body, Zhou Yan could achieve an extreme Combat Power.

Releasing all capabilities, Zhou Yan had the confidence to fight with a lifeform in the Eternal Eighth Seventh Layer Realm using this body.

This also means that solely manipulating the soul body of One Autumn and the Eternal Spirit allows Zhou Yan to disregard lifeforms within the Eternal Eighth Seventh Layers Realm.

Thus, Zhou Yan possesses the capability to walk the world alone.

This is Zhou Yan’s greatest foundation, and now the Thunder Seal is enough to seal a powerful lifeform in the Eternal Eighth Seventh Layer.

As long as an opportunity arises to seal one lifeform, Zhou Yan’s situation will become more favorable.

And Zhou Yan’s strategy, the first task, is during tomorrow’s ceremony with tributes from all directions, to suppress one lifeform in the Eternal Eighth Seventh Layer Realm to declare his prowess and ruthlessness, while directly presenting the situation where the Elf Domain has transformed into King’s Main City!

What he needs is a genuine demonstration that does not rely on the ’establishing authority’ of the Master of Thunder Flame!
