Chapter 1428 - 167: Refining
At this moment, Zhou Yan’s expression was casual, and his face radiated a rather confident and transcendent aura, giving people a very comfortable feeling—despite being unwilling to admit it, Fei Ya had to acknowledge that Zhou Yan also had considerable charm.
In such circumstances, Zhou Yan nonchalantly and unrestrainedly said, "What I said may seem insulting to you, but in reality, it’s truly the truth.
Of course, you can have your own thoughts, I don’t mind, nor will I argue with you, because once you’ve made some decisions, there’s no chance to regret them. And on that day, when you make choices, just take a good look and feel more."
"Alright, what needs to be said and explained is all here. I’ve said everything, and I hope you consider the essence of things more, don’t get lost in inexplicable things, so as to forget your original heart."
Zhou Yan finished speaking and no longer paid attention to Fei Ya’s emotions or facial expressions.
In reality, Zhou Yan had a clear understanding of the mark, so he knew Fei Ya’s situation.
Zhou Yan further knew what it meant for the woman with the slave mark to come here along with Jin Sheng; these things are really not hard to deduce.
Therefore, by reverse derivation, Zhou Yan knew Fei Ya would definitely agree.
Because no method is easier to grasp than this one.
And the original plan to seize the Elf Domain had already failed, now there’s a new village along with dark willows, this was simply too good.
However, Fei Ya didn’t think deeply about why Zhou Yan may have considered this yet still chose the strategic marriage.
She didn’t think about it, thus Zhou Yan’s tactic succeeded.
Now, there is no suspense.
Zhou Yan asked the Elf Elder beside him to serve two cups of Enlightenment Tea, with the unique energy of enlightenment propagated by the Life Ancient Tree. Under Zhou Yan’s unique causal Life Seed’s origin catalysis, the effect of the tea was not only good but also assimilated the inner hearts of some hostile enemies, allowing them to experience a sense of immense power—standing on the righteousness and justice against the Lord of Sin, resulting in a unique intense emotion.
This influence is very small, unnoticed.
However, this subtlety is more like boiling a frog slowly in warm water.
Therefore, although Enlightenment Tea is good, it is also a Vast Qi item; only a truly self-aware life can drink it calmly.
Zhou Yan left, not staying in the hall to converse with Jin Sheng.
Jin Sheng is a smart life, but also because of his cleverness, sometimes too slick.
And this time, Zhou Yan successfully formed the alliance by taking advantage of this point.
The purpose of the alliance is not beauty, nor is it particularly about solidarity, but rather for—refining.
Yes, refining.
Just like refining Qian Luoshui, refining.
But unlike with Qian Luoshui, Zhou Yan and Qian Luoshui shared a mutually beneficial form of refining, whereas with Fei Ya, it will be a one-sided refining.
It’s a method of refining the kingly will contained in the opponent’s body.
This method is ruthless but not entirely so—because Fei Ya does not have the ability to refine the kingly will; that king’s will is even vaguely infected, carrying a trace of evil spirit’s will.
After refining, Zhou Yan will refine the kingly will, strengthening his Thunder Seal, and as a feedback, Fei Ya will clearly understand that the king’s will in her body is not a blessing but a poison, ultimately turning her into a slaughter puppet.
At that time, comparing the truly double-edged handed-down King’s Profound Meaning obtained from Zhou Yan’s feedback with her current frustratingly stagnant state, the other party is bound to sigh.
But all these are premised on this woman not touching Zhou Yan’s bottom line.
A woman who conforms and understands right from wrong is a woman that can be accepted, while if she doesn’t know her limits and remains narrow-minded, calculating too much, then no matter how remarkable, she must be suppressed, suppressed into the Elf Domain Sea of the King’s Main City, with no escape.
Zhou Yan had arranged everything well, as for when Jin Sheng and Fei Ya would leave, when they would leave, Zhou Yan completely didn’t care.
This time, due to sensing Fei Ya’s constitution situation, Zhou Yan altered his cultivation plan.
Therefore, upon entering the Elf Secret Realm, Zhou Yan sat under the Eternal Life Ancient Tree, then started condensing and changing his realm.
After a round of cultivation and enlightenment, Zhou Yan stabilized his realm in the Great Perfection State of the Triple Realm of the Eternal Life Three Rules.
This state, based on the Origin Energy refined from One Autumn and Zhou Yan’s own understanding of the Reincarnation Immortality Principle, allows for much more advancement.
But in such circumstances, the accumulated foundation of Zhou Yan would be entirely consumed; without accumulated foundation, there’s no inertia to move forward, making subsequent cultivation much more difficult.
And for the next seven days, Zhou Yan continued with this task, constantly refining his realm, sensing the unique insights and experiences.
Meanwhile, Zhou Yan occasionally felt the unique energy aura emanating from the Hong Jun Sword—this was after Hong Jun Sword devoured the Panhuang Life and Death Sword, releasing strands of Primordial Tao’s Secret Technique ability, which are also Immortal rules secret techniques, but strictly speaking, slightly deviate from the Nine Great Immortal Rules.
However, all Immortal Principles share the Same Origin, so ultimately, Zhou Yan knew the fusion of Immortality Principles, regardless of deviations, was not important.
In this period, seven days passed quickly.
During these seven days, Zhou Yan sent life forms to understand the situation in other domains, to see if there was any information about Hou Chen and others, but for now, no information has been sent back.
The wedding this time for Zhou Yan was grand but kept low-key. Many powerful figures from the Mantis Race arrived, showing a certain degree of respect and demonstrating a considerable base of strength.
Among them, there were dozens of life forms at the Nine Rules Realm of Eternal Life, which was indeed astonishingly powerful.
However, Zhou Yan didn’t care much about these.
He followed some rules of the Soul Seal, descending into the Mantis Domain with the King’s Main City, then brought Fei Ya to the Elf Domain. The wedding banquet, therefore, was filled with toasts, the atmosphere harmonious and lively.
Everything progressed in an orderly manner. Finally, after the guests and hosts were satisfied, Zhou Yan and Fei Ya entered the room exclusive to the two of them.
Before this, Zhou Yan had already made arrangements, so by this moment, the entire territory was isolated.
When Zhou Yan stepped into the room, Fei Ya was already standing.
She said calmly, "Now that we are Daoist couple, for the sake of better dealing with the Lord of Sin in the future, I must focus on cultivation, break through my current realm, and enter the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Eight Rules.
In the short term, I won’t be having any physical intimacy with you, hoping Domain Master husband you can understand!"
Fei Ya’s words were very firm.
Her attitude was also cold and ruthless.
Although her other emotions were hidden away, the disdain towards Zhou Yan was still entirely apparent.
Having reached this step, she felt it was enough. Now, as long as she could easily handle this weak Zhou Yan, many things in the Elf Domain would be easier to manage.
This thought was not foolish; it was simply because Fei Ya was confident enough in her own strength.
And a life form at the Triple Realm of Eternal Life with Three Rules, she didn’t believe the other party had any ability to compare with her.
Especially since Fei Ya always felt the Elf Domain was strong on the outside but weak on the inside, particularly seeing Zhou Yan’s self-righteous, pretentious demeanor, she felt this even more.
So, even if she called him ’husband’, she was still very repelled inside, thinking she had already given Zhou Yan enough face.
"Do you also require a lot of Enlightenment Tea, Origin Elixir, and Origin Life’s power?"
Zhou Yan calmly inquired.
"Indeed, once I get stronger, I can better help you deal with the Lord of Sin. You can’t deny my importance; otherwise, why would you marry me using such disgraceful means to force me here?"
Fei Ya sarcastically retorted in a cold voice.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "All of these are negotiable, but first, fulfill your responsibilities."
"Aren’t you listening to what I’m saying? Do you think just because you suppressed a puppet of the Nine Rules Realm of Eternal Life, you can handle me?"
"Moreover, as a Domain Master, are you only focused on indulging in desires? How can you achieve anything this way?"
Fei Ya questioned coldly, her tone condescending.
But Zhou Yan merely touched the Thunder Seal on his brow.
The next moment, Fei Ya felt weak and powerless, with all her strength flowing out of her body as if disappearing.
"You, you despicable! You used such means to suppress me!"
"Silly woman, next enjoy yourself and feel this as well! Self-righteous!"
Zhou Yan snorted coldly, then deactivated the suppression function of the King’s Main City, leaving Fei Ya completely unable to resist.
Then Zhou Yan, without a hint of pity, in the crudest manner fiercely tore off all the veils on Fei Ya.
Then, amidst Fei Ya’s fearful and incredulous gaze, he violently and simply forced himself into her body.
At that moment, Fei Ya finally realized she could not easily control Zhou Yan. Instead, she was caught in an unknown, terrifying scheme.
It was also at that moment, an extreme tearing pain pierced through her Eternal Spirit deeply.
Then, a trembling sensation from the soul immediately arose.
What followed was the endless sense of energy draining from her body and the most primal frenzied feeling of burning lust.
Zhou Yan’s wild, savage assaults every time seemed to pierce through her depths fiercely, the terrifying and twisted pleasure made her unable to sense her energy being taken bit by bit.
