Capítulo 1459: Chapter 196: Nature and Eternal Immortality Rules

“This time, even my women, like Jiang Yuning, Qian Luoshui, etc., did not perform well enough! The reason for this insufficiency is worry.”

“You shouldn’t worry about me.”

“Worrying is a reflection of your lack of confidence in me, Zhou Yan, a lack of confidence in my abilities and strength, which causes you to worry. If you have confidence, you definitely won’t worry. Just like now, I have no concern whatsoever for Gu Xi—she will definitely transcend and return in a new state of rebirth, and we all look forward to it!”

Zhou Yan said with great confidence.

Meanwhile, he openly stated that Qian Luoshui was his woman.

And this time, Qian Luoshui moved her mouth but ultimately said nothing, essentially acknowledging it!

Zhou Yan laughed, then gave Fei Ya an encouraging look.

Fei Ya’s eyes suddenly brightened.

The meaning was clear to Fei Ya.

It was to have Fei Ya firmly suppress Qian Luoshui in bed and serve Zhou Yan together.

This was to let Fei Ya express her dissatisfaction with Qian Luoshui completely in that place.

It also showed that Zhou Yan intended to use strength to suppress Qian Luoshui’s last bit of pride, making her a most obedient woman.

Afterward, Zhou Yan paused for a moment before confidently saying: “Today, I gather everyone here to discuss the most important point — that is, a place of true significance that benefits everyone.”

“Since I possess the Five Great Immortal Kings Principle, I have an ultimate grasp over the Eternal Immortality Principle. Therefore, any Eternal Life Beings, in my eyes, I can instantly spot the flaws and shortcomings of their Eternal Immortality Principle.”

“So next, after everyone has sent out the message and all beings have tuned themselves to an ultimate state, everyone should come to the Life Ancient Tree beside the Elf Domain in ten days, which is right here.”

“At that time, I will open up a unique little space, letting all beings enter and point out all flaws and remedies within the Eternal Immortality Principle.”

“By then, along with the resources I provide, everyone will see results of tremendous improvement.”

“However, we need to undergo life and death combat training, leaving a small space for trial in life and death battles.

This life and death battle is real, but a source of Eternal Spirit will be left in the Life Ancient Tree during battle; if you perish, the source will resurrect you from the Life Ancient Tree.”

“Although this undoubtedly incurs great loss and considerable damage to the Life Ancient Tree, time is running out, hence this endeavor is worthwhile.”

“Without skin, how can hair cling to it?

This point, I believe, everyone understands!”

Zhou Yan dropped another bombshell.

Within such information, all beings fell silent.

This time, Zhou Yan originally intended for Jiang Yuning to gather beings she was somewhat familiar with. However, after much consideration, Zhou Yan instructed Jiang Yuning to summon almost the entire elite batch of beings within the Elf Domain, including Elders, core disciples, and some older clansmen with lower realms.

Such an approach naturally made the Elf Domain more united.

In this situation, the effect at the present moment was fully manifested.

Zhou Yan silently watched this effect unfold, immensely satisfied in his heart.

…

After a round of discussion, the gathering finally concluded.

The Elf Domain began to have new expectations and hopes, like the momentum of the scorching sun, it was incredibly impressive.

Under these circumstances, the Elf Domain became even more magnificent in momentum, more stable and powerful.

Yet among them, there were two who weren’t as confident and composed as they appeared on the surface, at least in their hearts there remained worry.

This wasn’t simply a matter of confidence or lack thereof as Zhou Yan mentioned, but involved another matter entirely.

When Zhou Yan returned to the Elf Palace, Jiang Yuning and Suxin were already beside him.

“Husband, although in all aspects your abilities are almost against the heavens, but…”

Jiang Yuning directly expressed her concerns.

In public, she would never question Zhou Yan’s words and would even accept his criticism graciously.

But privately, her worries inevitably emerged.

“I know, you want to say, given my capabilities, how could enemies allow me the chance to grow?”

“Actually, the enemies are equally awe-inspiring, growing in the same way! Hua Qiudao, isn’t he? “

“Isn’t Ji Wu?”

“Also, the eight great kings under Hua Qiudao, and the other four extraordinary women, haven’t taken action yet!”

“How I know all of this, but I must remain confident that my trump card is stronger than theirs, my progress faster… only by such means will they remain indifferent to my growth.”

“Of course, there’s definitely a power struggle and restraint at the top level of this, otherwise, how could we have developed so smoothly?”

“Moreover, the King City of the Elf Domain, after all, is a King City and not the City of Eternal Life, so if they want to act against me, they must pay a price. This King City was actually built with the help of Hong Jun Ancestor, consuming many terrifying resources. Unless they’re insane, they wouldn’t act against it, or else it would lead to a true, immortal chaos.”

“And if there comes a day when this battle starts and the Elf Domain is attacked, then the peace of heaven and earth will be completely gone, and the era of chaos will truly begin.”

Zhou Yan said seriously.

This time, Zhou Yan’s words were extremely solemn, which also made Jiang Yuning’s worries become real.

“Worry is useless, let’s strive to improve. But before we make progress, let’s put everything aside and indulge in the passions and madness of ordinary people’s Seven Emotions and Six Desires.”

Zhou Yan said as he looked at Suxin.

Suxin wasn’t the least bit bashful, she didn’t care about such indulgence, and upon hearing this, her eyes immediately lit up with eagerness.

This time, Jiang Yuning also gathered Qian Luoshui and even Lin Xuefei.

However, Qian Luoshui clearly sensed something and neither responded nor answered, instead taking Lin Xuefei along, leaving Fei Ya somewhat disappointed.

But Fei Ya knew that since Qian Luoshui had submitted, then that moment would come sooner or later.

By then, she would definitely strip Qian Luoshui bare, press her in the void, and have her husband bring this Fairy down to mortal dust.

…

The madness continued for a long time, ten days were actually not enough, yet because of urgent matters, Zhou Yan did not continue on a whim, but rather called it a day wisely.

In those ten days, whether it was Qian Xi, Long Xianyin, or Jiang Yuning, Ping’er, Suxin, Fei Ya, all were wholeheartedly devoted to Zhou Yan. The exquisite taste of the love shared among them could only be appreciated by the ones involved.

Afterward, Zhou Yan appeared in the Land of Life Ancient Tree, starting to sense and focus on the growth of the Eternal Immortality Rules among the Eternal Life Beings there. The situation varied: some were stable, some extreme, some were incomplete, and others complex.

Zhou Yan observed each one. Among all these beings, Jiang Yuning’s Immortal Principle realization was the most gentle and steady, much like her personality.

As for Long Xianyin’s Eternal Immortality Rules, they were the most serene and elegant, quiet as water, much like Long Xianyin herself.

Meanwhile, Fei Ya’s Immortal Principle was extremely radical, with a strong duality. This state of Immortality Principle was very fearsome but also closely resembled Fei Ya’s personality.

After watching many of the Immortal Principles, Zhou Yan did not alter those with outstanding characteristics but instead provided some compensation and guidance where there were mistakes or deficiencies.

On the surface, this guidance addressed the errors in the Eternal Immortality Rules, but gradually, every being realized that it pertained to the essential flaws in their own personalities.

This realization was quickly accepted by all the beings.

At this time, Zhou Yan also became aware that the Eternal Immortality Rules seemed to be a manifestation of personality, a release and embodiment of one’s true nature.

“True nature, manifestation of true nature, Eternal Immortality Rules, is there a connection here?”

Learning this result, Zhou Yan inadvertently stumbled onto this discovery.

This situation made Zhou Yan ponder the essence of beings and sparked a thought of contemplation.

“If the true nature is that of a being’s Eternal Immortality Rules, then… what is the Evil Spirit, and what corresponds to it? Is it the shortcomings in personality, or something opposing the true nature?”

“What exactly is the opposing force to the true nature of beings?”

This most fundamental, basic question was something Zhou Yan couldn’t figure out.

What opposes human nature? Instinct? Or essence, or perhaps negative nature?

Zhou Yan could not explain it.

Precisely because he could not explain it, Zhou Yan realized he could not truly comprehend the essence and Origin Secret Technique of the Evil Spirit.

And if he really understood this, he wouldn’t just be an Eternal Spirit; he might thereby achieve Kingship.

However, Zhou Yan instinctively felt that if he were to achieve Kingship through this method, the time it would take might exceed countless eras with no guarantee of success.

In this situation, even though Zhou Yan didn’t want to admit it, he had to recognize that while researching this essence was a great opportunity, it couldn’t change the current reality.

Moreover, in the short term, it’s impossible to fathom it. One only needs to utilize this ability without overthinking it.

Zhou Yan thought of this, something many beings actually realized as well.

But they were not Zhou Yan; they couldn’t even see through it, and even if they thought of it, they felt it was almost something to look up to, with little chance of understanding it.

Thus, soon the beings began to repair their Immortal Principles and further perfect themselves.

Having dealt with these matters, Zhou Yan felt much more at ease.

Releasing some impure breaths, Zhou Yan prepared to leave once more.

However, before leaving, Zhou Yan convened a unique Peacetime Summit again.

This time, Qian Luoshui was still nowhere to be seen. She seemed to be avoiding something, and she still appeared rather conflicted in facing Zhou Yan, causing her emotions to seem quite complex.

But Zhou Yan knew, ultimately, she would submit, even managing to overcome that uniquely peculiar psychological burden in due time.
