Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1456 - 193: Evil Spirit Invasion

The ones who can comprehend this opportunity will ultimately grasp the extremes of affection and indifference.

As for those who cannot comprehend it, even if they hold this stele by their side every day, they will never understand.

Therefore, Zhou Yan does not worry about the inheritance going to the wrong person, because the inheritor is always the most suitable one.

All the preachers will leave their Dao Trace on such engravings, leaving a thread of heavenly hope.

Zhou Yan’s actions are no different.

In this place, Zhou Yan has gained endless opportunities and benefits, but he also left his own cause and effect, which is a kind of repayment to the heavens.

This is also a form of contribution, a balance.

The stronger the beings become, the more they must comprehend the importance of balance within the unseen.

Like the Eternal Spirit, endlessly extracting without fatigue, ultimately leading to the exhaustion of the Star Domain, nearing destruction.

If one learns to stop appropriately during the devouring of the Origin, how could the Life Ancient Tree wither, and how could the Eternal Life Star Domain be on the brink of destruction?

To gain, first give. To advance, first retreat.

This is the most basic principle, yet, in this world, the most basic principles are often the least truly comprehended by beings.

Zhou Yan realizes that it’s not that the Tao doesn’t allow beings to comprehend, but that the Tao is beside beings, yet they turn a blind eye.

The Tao beside you is the best Tao. The scenery around you is actually the most beautiful scenery.

...

Zhou Yan completed his enlightenment and engraved his inheritance, a scene that brought great comfort to the Hong Jun Ancestor.

Having been in hiding, secretly observing Zhou Yan’s changes, Hong Jun Ancestor felt extremely pleased.

"Although nearly half a month has passed, your progress over this year has indeed been astonishing.

Now you can return to the Elf Domain for a few days of relaxation, and enjoy a joyful reunion with your beloved, then prepare to advance towards the Dark Ancient City.

In the Dark Ancient City, what you need to accomplish isn’t about the realm, but perfecting Breaking Dao before beginning to comprehend the King Immortal Principle. The Eternal Immortality Rules, just give up directly."

"Regarding Mu Qingyan in the Netherworld Ancient City, it involves all her secrets. You now need to personally experience and observe it."

"There, the time is uncertain, but it cannot exceed two years."

"There’s nothing else to pass on. But regardless of any outcome, remember not to become attached to that place, because the truly crucial force—the Heavenly Court—still needs you to lead.

Now, I’ve received a message from Pangu’s inheritance—Hua Qiudao has developed feelings with Bi Shui Fairy, this is the sentiment within indifference. Emotion with a purpose appears more maliciously cruel, but unfortunately, Bi Shui Fairy doesn’t realize this. This is the worst news; indeed, not much time is left."

Hong Jun Ancestor explained a series of situations to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan instantly nodded, immediately without hesitation, flew towards the Elf Domain.

The Elf Domain is a place he must return to, first to stabilize spirits, and second, to share his growth experience and other trump cards to reassure everyone.

Of course, Zhou Yan also has the thought to truly relax, not because he lacks responsibility, but to prepare adequately for upcoming growth.

The pressure in Silent Annihilation Ancient City is extremely high, and being in a state of constant intense combat will generate extreme rebellious emotions. Coupled with intentionally suppressing it for so long, and having comprehended the extreme Affectionate Sword Dao King Dao, Zhou Yan is very eager to have a joyful reunion with his women.

...

Returning to the Elf Domain was not difficult; it was even far easier than when coming.

All Zhou Yan’s Four-layered Immortality principles transformed into King Immortal Principles, making all his immortality principles inheritances of the King, even more refined than the King’s inheritance.

In this situation, Zhou Yan used a unique trace of the evil spirit’s power to enhance his speed beyond that of the Avatar’s flying speed.

Under current circumstances, even while concealing himself, it is difficult for even a king to detect Zhou Yan, as his immortality principles are themselves King Immortal Principles. Combined with the Yin Yang bubbles from the Yin Yang Chaos concealment method, he indeed possesses the strongest capital.

Zhou Yan quickly returned to the Elf Domain, yet as he let down his guard, he concealed himself, returning quietly.

Upon returning, Zhou Yan quietly observed all his women one by one.

Jiang Yuning, as always, conscientiously does all the tasks the Elf Domain Master should do, including distributing the work of various forces within the domain, allocating cultivation qualifications for the Life Ancient Tree, resource distribution, etc. All of which she must carefully calculate and deduce.

Meanwhile, she continues to cultivate and strengthen herself, recovering the realm progress lost due to past injuries.

On another front, she also occasionally communicates with Qian Luoshui, Lin Xuefei, and others about the information from the ice and snow evil spirits’ forces, making corresponding responses.

This process is not achieved overnight, but as Zhou Yan observes, Jiang Yuning meticulously handles everything while concurrently bitterly cultivating Enlightenment, truly exhaustingly.

In just a year, she has made remarkable progress in all aspects, yet even in the state of Eternal Spirit, Zhou Yan perceives a trace of weakness, which stirs a sense of indescribable warmth within his heart.

When Zhou Yan’s emotions rose in such a manner, Jiang Yuning seemed to sense something, surprisingly looking around the surroundings, yet seeing no anomalies, she couldn’t help but bitterly smile and say, "Could it be I’ve gone crazy? I’ve been so distracted lately, this way I’ll not only delay my cultivation but also miss some important information."

"I just wonder how my husband is doing now. This time he’s been out for over a year, and there’s not been a single piece of information from the outside world."

...

Jiang Yuning muttered to herself, yet unexpectedly, her body was suddenly embraced exactly by a warmth that was extremely familiar. Her delicate body trembled, shock appeared, and she immediately softened a bit.

Because that familiar aura, no matter what, couldn’t change.

"Husband, it’s really you who returned. Over this past year, though we’ve been very busy and fulfilled, at times our hearts have felt quite empty, missing you dearly."

Jiang Yuning said softly.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "I know this much, just by looking at your Eternal Spirit, it seems a bit haggard. You really do make me both love and cherish you."

Zhou Yan whispered by Jiang Yuning’s ear, releasing warm breaths, while his large hand already mischievously climb up those soft peaks.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning’s whole body was somewhat limp, "Husband, this is the council hall, if the elders were to come in, that would..."

"Mmm—"

Before Jiang Yuning could finish speaking, Zhou Yan directly blocked Jiang Yuning’s words, giving her a passionate kiss.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yan’s hand also began to move very mischievously.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning’s whole body also became hot, as Zhou Yan’s mind moved, immediately a shelter of Yin Yang Soul Embryo Void Energy enveloped the two, and then Zhou Yan began to be unrestrained.

During this process, Jiang Yuning sensed it, feeling both shy and passionate.

In an instant, the skies were filled with war, and the love storms of Wu and Shan were no longer off the table.

This was a stable rear, a strong and extremely safe place.

Such a place also allowed Zhou Yan to completely relax his mind, not thinking of anything, sharing the most primitive of moments with Jiang Yuning.

This kind of moment was crazy and fierce, but Zhou Yan did not endlessly demand, instead he crazily indulged a few times with Jiang Yuning, just taking it lightly and then temporarily paused.

Yet even so, time consumed nearly more than half a day.

Zhou Yan spoke with Jiang Yuning, who then recounted all the happenings of the past year to Zhou Yan.

With the Endless resources from the Master of Thunderflame, all creatures in the Elf Domain achieved considerable progress, along with improvements from Enlightenment Tea and the inexhaustible Original Soul Energy from the Life Ancient Tree, every creature’s progress was extremely apparent, so much so that Zhou Yan deeply sensed the enveloping power of that Endless Soul Power upon him, equating it to a kind of belief power, more akin to merit power yet transcending merit power.

Within this belief power, Zhou Yan felt that when he wielded the Affectionate Sword Dao, he could directly eradicate the lives abiding by the Eternal Nine Rules!

At this point, Zhou Yan finally understood everything about the Eternal Elf Domain, and realized what Hong Jun Ancestor spoke of, such as ’King’s Will Blessing’, ’Power of Vast Vow’, and other attribute energies, because this truly was an indescribable yet exceptionally strong force.

"It’s the strength of human hearts."

Zhou Yan suddenly thought of this phrase, undoubtedly very appropriate to describe this kind of power of belief, where one is venerated and idolized.

Under this power, all matters become exceedingly smooth, as if forming a unique Qi Fortune momentum, unable to be opposed.

"A few days ago, Qian Luoshui already visited, saying she wanted to assess the progress you’ve made over the year, and also there’s something very important she wishes to seek your confirmation on."

Jiang Yuning thought for a moment, softly relaying this matter to Zhou Yan.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning’s ample softness in Zhou Yan’s hands constantly changed shape, which with its exquisite elasticity and excellent feeling, Zhou Yan enjoyed immensely.

Upon hearing, Zhou Yan pondered slightly and said, "Is she still here? What realm has she reached now?"

"Eternal Nine Rules, Ninth Layer."

"Gasp, so quickly!"

Zhou Yan was taken aback upon hearing this.

"Fei Ya’s progress is also swift, reaching Eternal Nine Rules, Eighth Layer, only narrowly trailing Qian Luoshui."

"What, Fei Ya is also this quick?"

"Lin Xuefei even faster, although she’s only at the Fifth Layer of the Eternal Nine Rules now, her progress speed..."

"What’s going on, suddenly everyone so rapidly? About Lin Xuefei, that’s to be expected, but what about everyone else..."

Zhou Yan said, suddenly thinking of a possibility, but he didn’t speak it, instead he suddenly gazed at Jiang Yuning.

At this moment, Jiang Yuning indeed was at the Eternal Nine Rules, Ninth Layer, nearing Perfection.
