Capítulo 1452: Chapter 189: Demon Spirit Aura
When Zhou Yan headed to the Silent Annihilation Ancient City, he had many thoughts in his mind, even considering what ultimate realm he should reach in the Silent Annihilation Ancient City, what kind of Tao he should comprehend, and even transforming his various Eternal Immortality Rules into King Immortal Principle to complete the final, complete transformation.
But upon arriving at the Silent Annihilation Ancient City, seeing the endless Demon Race who possessed their own consciousness but appeared indifferent, Zhou Yan’s attitude gradually underwent a subtle change.
This subtle change, like an imperceptible influence, gradually made Zhou Yan forget the original purpose of his arrival.
It’s as if there is a unique power between Heaven and Earth that envelops all this, manifests all this, then silently permeates deep into one’s heart, forming a strange and imperceptible influence.
Under this influence, life will gradually forget their true self.
Initially, Zhou Yan hadn’t realized this, so when he transformed into an ordinary Demon Race demon spirit, everything seemed quite casual, but gradually, Zhou Yan noticed this change and immediately became extremely apprehensive, while he constantly held firm to his true self, resisting the unknown spiritual impact.
Under such circumstances, the relaxed and leisurely feeling Zhou Yan originally had towards this Silent Annihilation Ancient City was gone, instead, it felt extremely uncomfortable.
It’s as if he is a unique existence unable to blend into this world, no matter what, only feeling endlessly vexed with not a single bit of Enlightenment experience.
Zhou Yan was completely unable to calm his mind.
And Zhou Yan further knew, if he calmed his mind, he would be subtly affected.
This Silent Annihilation Ancient City, even a King would be subtly influenced, one would either conform to everything here or never achieve Unity of Heaven and Man with anything here, in which Enlightenment would just be a joke.
Zhou Yan’s journey so far had been smooth, even having experienced life and death in Shanjian City, overall, there was no sense of powerlessness.
But now, facing this almost inextricable Silent Annihilation Ancient City, Zhou Yan truly found himself at a loss.
In such a situation, the Hong Jun Ancestor had not yet provided any information, but after five days, Zhou Yan couldn’t resist his own spiraling state, and immediately sent a message to the Hong Jun Ancestor.
It was a long time before the Hong Jun Ancestor regained some clarity, transmitting a message: “Is it really like this? Could it be, has some unknown change occurred here?”
“I remember, back then, this place was the best to align with one’s true self, on the westward road, the Demon Race in training, manifested their hearts yearning for the Tao, only thus could they move forward.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor was also quite puzzled, then he sensed the external situation for a moment, immediately falling silent.
After a long while, the Hong Jun Ancestor couldn’t help but sigh and say: “This Silent Annihilation Ancient City was originally greatly beneficial to Enlightenment, but now clearly has been affected by unknown energy, undergoing an unimaginable change. This change more like resulted in the transformation of the Evil Spirit Master.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor paused for a moment, then said: “Zhou Yan, actually you never asked, but I know, with your wisdom, deep in your heart you are surely aware of one thing.”
Such words from the Hong Jun Ancestor made Zhou Yan feel a bit awed, but Zhou Yan knew in his heart what the Hong Jun Ancestor was referring to, immediately being wary of the external suppression directed at him, while transmitting a message to the Hong Jun Ancestor: “Ancestor, you never asked before, this matter was also just a doubt in my heart. But since you brought it up, and now I have nothing I cannot bear, then, Zhou Yan hopes the Ancestor can enlighten Zhou Yan.”
Zhou Yan’s words were rather respectful.
The Hong Jun Ancestor said: “The Evil Spirit Master, being so powerful, why does he choose to control Mu Qingyan instead of outright killing all beings and directly unifying Heaven and Earth, destroying Eternal Life?”
The Hong Jun Ancestor asked Zhou Yan with a tone of doubt.
“Zhou Yan, tell me your understanding, this actually has a certain influence on your future path.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor’s words were quite solemn.
Especially in such a world, they seemed even more solemn, because elsewhere, though unspoken, the Hong Jun Ancestor in this place spoke this way, meaning in this very place, there must be some inexplicable causality at play, making it such that the Hong Jun Ancestor can no longer hide this matter.
Or rather, this place catalyzed the causality, making the Hong Jun Ancestor only able to reveal some information to Zhou Yan in advance.
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, speculating: “Ancestor, I think, firstly, the Evil Spirit Master himself is also controlled, or rather in essence, he is a powerful being close to surpassing the King Realm, but due to deviation encountered an accident.
So, the reason for such an enslavement situation occurring is because he simultaneously hopes for some power to prevent him from doing those crazy things.”
“Another reason is that there are strong individuals of the same realm exerting corresponding suppression.”
“And only by forming a certain balance, can both sides form the current developmental pattern.”
“Of course, there is another possibility that, my growth, is even a critical opportunity, the key opportunity to solve this transformation.”
Zhou Yan said thoughtfully.
Upon hearing this, the Hong Jun Ancestor nodded, saying: “The fact that you could think of this already isn’t easy.
In fact, this is a duel between emotional and unemotional. In the eyes of the truly supreme King, the final step, whether it is emotional or unemotional, is always an unknown.
Therefore, there were two beings, at this step, that took a wrong stride.
One, through an infinite replication creation, formed countless heaven-defying feats.
And the other, through endless devouring, formed the opposite of life.”
“Do you know that everything has an opposing side? The extreme of water is fire, and the extreme of yin is yang. Have you ever thought about what the extreme of life is?”
The question thrown out by the Hong Jun Ancestor caused Zhou Yan’s heart to tremble with an incomparable gravity. This time, he was truly shocked.
What is the opposite existence of the Eternal Spirit’s Tao?
“It is the Dark Demon Spirit.”
“Which is the so-called Purple Blue Evil Qi.”
“The Dark Demon Spirit was created under certain accidental circumstances. Then, the Lord of Sin himself, by transforming the Eternal Spirit into the Dark Demon Spirit, became the Lord of Sin.
But whether the Lord of Sin is one or several is hard to say.”
“Because not only one could create the Dark Demon Spirit, and among them, there is a relationship of mutual restraint.”
“The one above Mu Qingyan also harbors a certain will, just like Mu Qingyan has a will, so two experimental subjects emerged under mutual restrictions.”
“However, for various reasons, you are not one of those experimental subjects, but by coincidence, you have become a representative among them.”
“So, there is your element of growth.”
“But this is also time-limited. The struggle is indeed for truly resisting the Dark Demon Spirit, and not meaningless, because the willpower gathered by all living beings can be maximally enhanced.
And the battle between numerous life forms is also a battle of Array Dao, representing the battle of condensing rules, and is by no means a meaningless action.”
“In time, you will know this.”
“Now, you have almost become a representative of emotion.”
“And the representative of emotionlessness…”
Hong Jun Ancestor took a deep look at Zhou Yan but said nothing.
“The representative of emotionlessness…is it Mu Qingyan?”
Zhou Yan was taken aback and asked.
“No, not her, but someone even more surprising to you. However, this is a matter for the future. I’m telling you this now because…the aura here is the same aura that caused the Lord of Sin to transform into the Dark Demon Spirit.
This aura appearing here is both an opportunity and a catastrophe.
As for you, you can either leave now, but then you will never comprehend the essential rule significance of the westward journey, understand the Heavenly Dao secrets embedded within the Westward Heavenly Road and the Thirty-Three Heavens, though the advantage is, you can be safe, and go directly to the Dark Ancient City.”
“Of course, if you choose to stay here, then, for future stability, I must temporarily fall silent within you and self-seal. If you encounter an accident, I will kill you—you won’t be able to kill yourself, and I will leave, possibly even taking the Hong Jun Sword with me.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor spoke of a cruel and adverse outcome.
“If I die, what will happen?”
Zhou Yan inquired.
“If you die, Ji Wu, Hou Chen, Liu Haoxin, or even Pan Honghuang might replace you. In any case, your absence might have some impact, but fundamentally, the outcome remains unchanged.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor hesitated slightly and then replied resolutely.
“Then, I know what to do now, so let me experience this aura of the Dark Demon Spirit.”
Zhou Yan murmured to himself.
Then, he connected with the Hong Jun Ancestor: “Ancestor, should I, unfortunately, fall, then if possible, have my women leave behind an inheritance and then self-transform. They no longer need to continue living in meaningless pallor.”
Zhou Yan said.
This was not cruelty, but a profound understanding that if he had fallen, then when the Sword-shaped Thunder Seal disappears, his women would sense it immediately, and these women can no longer blindly wait because that affection would lead them to make a choice that Zhou Yan could totally anticipate.
“If that truly happens, you don’t need to worry about anything.”
The Hong Jun Ancestor sighed lightly before then voluntarily sealing himself, falling into a cold silence.
The Hong Jun Ancestor fell silent, and Zhou Yan did not think too much.
Because of one thing, Zhou Yan actually knew—that without the Hong Jun Ancestor, it would not be as casual as a passer-by but neither was it absolutely indispensable.
This made Zhou Yan think of those previous sayings from Mu Qingyan—he himself might be an attention-attracting substitute, but it’s also possible that he is the original, while others are the substitutes.
