Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1432 - 171: The Choice of Two Tears

"However, along the way, I discovered traces of Hua Qiudao. Hua Qiudao has already entered the Heavenly Court, and within the Heavenly Court, there is a Sovereign, Bi Shui Fairy.

This Bi Shui Fairy has an extremely remarkable constitution. If you can directly refine her, she will hardly suffer any loss; instead, her soul will undergo transformation, gaining a great opportunity. But the benefit to you will be unimaginable.

You can directly peer through an Immortality Principle, reaching the complete Nine Great Perfection level.

With your current realm, Eternal Life Fourth Rule Seventh Layer, you can fully advance from the first layer of the Eternal Life Fifth Rule to the Nine Great Perfection of the Eternal Life Fifth Rule. However, the premise is that you must start refining from the first layer of the Eternal Life Fifth or Sixth Rule."

"This matter is also not easy. The Heavenly Court is a very ancient Land of Heavenly Punishment, filled with powerful Eternal Life Beings. Bi Shui Fairy is by no means an ordinary being; she is innately wise and exceptionally intelligent, with extremely wise judgment. Even considering the King Realm, it’s difficult to overtake her.

Therefore, we can only attack her mind.

Hua Qiudao has gone, and I sensed that he is already quite familiar with Bi Shui Fairy, even showing some emotional involvement, which is the worst situation. This situation makes me willing to risk alarming the Lord of Sin just to bring you here immediately."

What the Emperor said truly moved Zhou Yan.

Because this was a very frightening matter.

Hong Jun Ancestor explicitly spoke about the matter of the Heavenly Court.

And the Heavenly Court is the remnant force of the ancient Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas factions, a force so powerful that there are probably existences comparable to the King within it.

And Bi Shui Fairy is the leader of the Heavenly Court, almost controlling half of it.

If she is obtained by the Lord of Sin and causes the Heavenly Court to pledge allegiance to him...

The result is simply unimaginable and cannot be contemplated; it is brutally terrifying.

Even though there is already some hope for victory now, once Hua Qiudao secures Bi Shui Fairy, Zhou Yan knows that all these battles haven’t even truly begun, yet the outcome is already settled.

"Indeed, if Hua Qiudao secures Bi Shui Fairy, it will really be difficult. And Hua Qiudao’s charm, not to mention women, can captivate even some men. You actually understand this intuitively, so the gravity of the situation is tremendous."

The Emperor explained.

Zhou Yan agreed greatly because when the Emperor brought up this matter, Zhou Yan immediately realized everything.

At this moment, pondering the key points further, Zhou Yan’s mood became increasingly heavy.

"Shanjian City isn’t bad, Hou Chen and the others might encounter significant opportunities, thereby achieving certain breakthroughs.

When they emerge in the future, their growth will make you very gratified. One day you’ll understand, among those alive in the Soul Burying Starfield, every one of them possesses astonishing opportunities and creations; all that’s needed is to place them in a location with opportunities and creation, and their growth will be unstoppable.

Hou Chen, Liu Haoxin, and others are like this; Hua Qiudao is even more so."

The Emperor’s assertion impacted Zhou Yan significantly.

This point was within Zhou Yan’s awareness as well.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I don’t worry about Hou Chen and the others; they already have their own paths. The key now is I can’t enter Shanjian City, nor can I confront Bi Shui Fairy in the Heavenly Court."

Zhou Yan’s words caused the Emperor’s face to slightly darken.

The Emperor didn’t speak immediately but rather his gaze emitted an exceedingly wise Eight Diagrams Mirror light. At that moment, Zhou Yan sensed the Emperor’s powerful and invincible foundation.

After Zhou Yan sensed the Emperor’s change, the Emperor had already concealed that transformation.

"Did Hong Jun Ancestor arrange the path forward for you? Did he instruct you to proceed first to the Westward Ultimate Land’s Silent Annihilation Ancient City and the Netherworld Ultimate Land’s Dark Ancient City?"

"Indeed."

Zhou Yan nodded.

The Emperor fell silent again.

Ultimately, the Emperor sighed, saying, "Brilliant. Hong Jun Ancestor’s thinking indeed surpasses mine. Alright, then follow these ideas. Of course, whether it’s him or me, our thoughts are merely your reference; living true to yourself is enough, and as for the rest, do as you please."

"I understand; moreover, regarding Hua Qiudao, the Emperor needn’t worry. If Bi Shui Fairy were so easy to secure, there surely have been beings before Hua Qiudao trying in various ways. But as of now, Bi Shui Fairy hasn’t been secured.

Emotions are indeed peculiar, and I understand Hua Qiudao well; he won’t use force.

But I will."

"However, my current realm is still far lacking, so I need to strengthen myself first. Although Bi Shui Fairy is crucial, if I hadn’t reached a sufficient level, going to the Heavenly Court now would just hasten Hua Qiudao’s action.

Under such circumstances, he holds a real advantage, and I would inevitably be at a disadvantage.

In this situation, I don’t think I can surpass Hua Qiudao.

I need to acquire some things, make some arrangements, and directly exert influence until Bi Shui Fairy submits. If she doesn’t submit, I’ll give her a child, creating a powerful Eternal Spirit, even if it means embedding my Holy Spirit essence within her."

"A child is a woman’s greatest weapon; by using a combination of fierce, aggressive methods with gentle, sincere ones, I refuse to believe I cannot secure her!"

Zhou Yan said.

"This approach is actually what I’ve prepared for you to use upon entering the Heavenly Court. For this, I’ve acquired some things—Vermilion Bird Blood, Azure Dragon Scales, White Tiger Bones, and Xuanwu Soul.

These four are the most primal essences of Holy Spirits. After refining them together and merging with the Original Qi of the Eternal Spirit, they can form an elixir.

This elixir also requires some peculiar medicinal herbs, which will soon be available."

"Hmm? If that’s the case, then are the leaves of the Life Ancient Tree feasible?"

Zhou Yan’s heart stirred, and he immediately inquired.

"The leaves of the Life Ancient Tree... are they inherited or comprehended?"

The Emperor did not answer whether they were feasible, instead asking another question.

The words were vague, but Zhou Yan instantly understood the Emperor’s meaning. The Emperor was asking whether the seeds of the Life Ancient Tree that Zhou Yan obtained were derived from the Bodhi Seed, taken from the underground Bodhi Seed in the Land of Enlightenment, or whether Zhou Yan himself comprehended and used the Power of Vast Vow to gather the Life Origin and condense the seeds of the Life Ancient Tree.

"Emperor, rest assured, it’s the latter."

Zhou Yan confidently replied.

The Emperor’s eyes narrowed as he suddenly smiled, "Good, this is truly excellent. This way, a lot of medicinal herbs can be spared. However, following the leaves of the Life Ancient Tree, a very peculiar medicinal herb is still needed."

"What kind of medicinal herb is required?"

"A drop of tears. A drop of the most original tears from a woman who loves you dearly, tears that can condense into crystalline tear droplets."

"Moreover, this drop of tears must be of genuine love, profound love, and not fabricated. It cannot be the tears shed after you request it, but must be naturally evoked by extreme despair or pain, producing tears of sincere love. Can such tears be obtained?"

"There are two drops of such tears."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he took out two drops of tears.

One of these drops was from Qian Luoshui.

Outside the Three-legged Tripod, Qian Luoshui’s tear viciously struck Zhou Yan’s heart, making Zhou Yan feel very uncomfortable.

To the extent that all the original dissatisfaction and anger towards Qian Luoshui instantaneously transformed into the utmost love.

And the other drop of tears...

Zhou Yan thought for a moment, gave up on the other drop, and instead chose Qian Luoshui’s tear.

It was a truly helpless, deeply complex tear interwoven with sincere love.

And Qian Luoshui, unable to resist, had been refined and defiled by Zhou Yan.

This situation coincided with the situation Bi Shui Fairy was about to face, and was also very suitable.

However, whether it necessarily required force, Zhou Yan did not know.

If there were options, if it could develop normally into that relationship state, such actions would not be needed.

However, with Hua Qiudao present, Zhou Yan did not feel he had the opportunity to develop a normal emotional relationship with Bi Shui Fairy.

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then took out Qian Luoshui’s tear.

Seeing this tear, the Emperor’s expectant expression stiffened for a moment. He merely glanced at the tear and confirmed its quality.

"This is Luo Shui’s tear, isn’t it?"

Emperor Fu Xi saw through everything and, with a rather complex mood, asked.

"Yes, Luo Shui, she is a good woman. I will cherish her dearly. Emperor, rest assured."

Zhou Yan hurriedly replied.

"Of course, I can rest assured. What life in this world wouldn’t trust your promise, Zhou Yan? Moreover, this tear is filled with the most genuine sentiments—Zhou Yan, cherish her well, she is a woman of bitter fate."

The Emperor said with a sigh.

Then, the drop of tear was stored in an unknown space by his trembling hand.

With this, all materials were complete.

"Zhou Yan, I need approximately seven days for alchemy. Seven days correspond to a unique emotional period. During this time, you should stay with Gu Xi at Sumeru Immortal Mountain for a few days. After the elixir is made, you can proceed with whatever you need to do, but you can already let Gu Xi go to the Elf Domain.

Gu Xi’s situation would be better in the Elf Ancient City."

"Additionally, I have detected some issues with Gu Xi’s Origin. It was originally the Method of No Method, and naturally a test for you; now that you know there are issues with the Origin, you need to pay more attention to handling them."

The Emperor instructed.

Zhou Yan nodded, agreeing with the Emperor.

Afterwards, the Emperor began his retreat, and Zhou Yan left the Emperor’s small wooden house.

At this moment, Bai Ying was standing gracefully outside the door. She voluntarily approached Zhou Yan, her gaze like water, full of surprise.

"Zhou Yan... let’s go, Gu Xi has been waiting for you for a long time, constantly daydreaming. It’s very distressing; you’ll need to comfort and care for her more."

Bai Ying said gently.

Zhou Yan felt a pang in his heart and immediately said, "Rest assured, after this, I will personally protect her."
