Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1487 - 11: Land of Establishing the Tao

"I know, your coming here must surely have something to do with exploring the origin of the Power of Evil, since it is closely linked to the Gifts of the Word Spirit Race. Your thoughts are justified, but you must recognize the cruelty here and respond appropriately."

"We have some experience, but it is somewhat tentative. In a place like this, one must comprehend the origin form of fire and the laws governing its formation and transformation to effectively counteract it. I was born with the Fiery Sun Body, so I have a certain advantage. Zhao Xiaoxiao has the Shennong Cauldron, a King’s Weapon from the Desolate Domain, which naturally gathers flames."

"As for Qin Ruyu and Yun Shiyin, they each have their own methods."

Hong Yuqiao seems to be quite congenial with Zhou Yan, hence some things were not concealed from Zhou Yan.

Perhaps, as Zhao Xiaoxiao said, some aspects of Zhou Yan’s temperament indeed resemble ’Zhou Yan,’ after all, An Rufeng’s inherently quiet nature does resemble Zhou Yan in certain respects.

Otherwise, why would the White Tiger Saint Spirit choose Zhou Yan to impersonate An Rufeng?

Zhou Yan also understood this point, so Hong Yuqiao’s special regard towards Zhou Yan, due to Zhou Yan saving her life and his resemblance to ’Zhou Yan,’ was naturally understandable.

Only here could a certain true self be revealed, Hong Yuqiao’s heart must be infinitely complex.

And knowing this point, Zhou Yan no longer harbored resentment towards Mu Qingyan for her past action of killing Yanyan; he knew that once she awoke, Mu Qingyan would be more pained by her own actions.

Zhou Yan nodded, grateful for Hong Yuqiao’s guidance because Hong Yuqiao’s words actually confirmed Zhou Yan’s own suspicions.

This place is not just dangerous; it is also a manifestation of King’s inheritance, a presentation of a King’s inheritance.

This land of inheritance of the Word Spirit Race, akin to the Elf Domain Sea of the Elf Domain, is similarly extraordinary.

And the Gift of the Word Spirit Race likely originates here. The Gift of Speech Spirit, the ability to speak and have Law follow, the Law’s evolution, all stem from here.

In other words, this Town Domain Demon Origin Sky Road is also a birthplace of Law, a Supreme Treasure of revealed King’s Rules for the Word Spirit Clan.

Such a place, fitting for the cultivation of Evil Spirits and Eternal Spirits, is because it is a locale that accommodates both Evil Spirits and Life.

The Word Spirit King Immortal Principle perhaps lies between the Evil Spirit and Eternal Life Beings, a rule that likely combines both elements, forming a balance, enabling dominion over both rules.

When Zhou Yan derived this realization, his heart shuddered.

If this is the case, then the King Immortal Principle here, once learned or created, wouldn’t it even surpass the Immortality Principle of Evil Spirits?

The Source of Evil, the Lord of Sin, seems stronger than the King.

But the truth is, the realm of the Lord of Sin and the King Realm are actually the same, equal realms, one representing night, the other day.

Yet, the destructive Evil Spirit, through its explosion, far surpasses the Eternal King, almost forming a one-sided situation.

Then where does the King’s advantage lie?

Since both are equal realms, why does suppression arise?

The Evil Spirit, with its fragmented emotions, wielding the Power of Destruction.

While the King does not have fragmented emotions, wielding the rules of the Eternal King, why does suppression occur?

Why can the Speech Spirit Gift produce Law from speech, determining King’s Rules and Evil Spirit rules with a single word?

Yet why hasn’t a King appeared for the Word Spirit Race, nor have they achieved true dominion, instead hiding at the ends of the Town Domain Demon Origin?

This instant, Zhou Yan thought of many things, these alone might not seem significant, but appearing together, Zhou Yan realized some truths had surfaced.

"The King must have an undiscovered method to instantly suppress the Lord of Sin."

"And the strength of the Evil Spirit is activated within the Town Domain Demon Origin Sky Road, hence the Evil Spirit is so powerful, its Power of Destruction is overwhelmingly crushing."

"An equally Great Perfection of the Eternal Nine Rules Evil Spirit, this formidable Hong Yuqiao, but I am of the Eternal Seven Rules First Realm, one-on-one, I would not lose to her, so as for the same King Realm, could she suppress me?"

"So where does my strength lie?"

"If it is the King Realm, then my King Immortal Principle no longer holds an advantage, then as for the King’s advantage, is it because I have Affection? Is Affection a kind of Tao?"

"Affectionate Sword Dao indeed erupts with a unique emotional power, impacting the heart of life."

"Then, what undiscovered, unactivated means exist within the King Realm?"

"Can Life within this Town Domain Demon Origin activate such abilities, activating the Power of Destruction like the Evil Spirit?"

"If possible, why have no lives succeeded over the years?"

"If that’s the case, wouldn’t the Word Spirit Race, each being as powerful as the Lord of Sin?"

"But in reality, the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl Fu Wanling of the Word Spirit Race is merely at the Half-step Monarch Realm."

...

At this moment, Zhou Yan thought of many things. He even deduced some unique and likely results, but these ultimately lacked corresponding data to support them and couldn’t withstand the test of truth. Therefore, these were merely possibilities existing in Zhou Yan’s deductions.

However, Zhou Yan knew that the more he comprehended, the clearer subsequent situations would become. Then some matters would present themselves more truthfully and accurately.

It was like one thing that Zhou Yan was extremely sure of: the King Realm and the Lord of Sin’s realm are equivalent and not subordinate to one another.

On the side of the Evil Spirit, the Eternal Evil Spirit and the Sinful Evil Spirit are comparable to the distinction between the Eternal Life and the King’s Realm.

The two are identical, the reason the Evil Spirit can suppress Eternal Life Beings is due to the Evil Spirit’s Power of Destruction, while the King, despite various corresponding abilities, cannot withstand the Power of Destruction.

The counterpart of destruction is the Origin of the Source of Life. But at least for now, Zhou Yan hasn’t discovered any other strong abilities aside from resurrecting Eternal Spirits and restoring their injuries.

"Is it because this Origin is not strong enough, or is it too weak? If this Origin becomes extremely powerful, what will the situation be?"

"With a single thought, countless Eternal King Holy Spirits would emerge? Indestructible destruction? Undying death?"

"If so, endless destruction and endless eternal life can indeed be evenly matched."

Zhou Yan pondered deeply, feeling that if there is a correspondence, then it must lie in the Origin.

Yet, Zhou Yan hadn’t found a method to strengthen the Origin.

"Why, do you have any insights? We can exchange knowledge, but first, you need to solve your own situation. If it weren’t for my protection, you would have already faced misfortune."

At this moment, when Zhou Yan felt slightly relieved, Hong Yuqiao’s voice interrupted Zhou Yan’s subsequent analysis.

The following analysis wasn’t that important, but Zhou Yan also knew that Hong Yuqiao meant well for him. After all, in such a place, the foremost priority is to ensure one’s own safety, followed by contemplating and comprehending other things.

Zhou Yan gratefully glanced at Hong Yuqiao, and at this time, he also noticed the protective Fiery Sun Light Screen reappearing around his body.

Zhou Yan wielded his unique Flame Power, safeguarding his Origin, while manifesting a certain Creation King Immortal Principle. With the Creation Power that Zhou Yan himself comprehended, he enveloped himself to temporarily alleviate this terrifying pressure.

At this moment, Hong Yuqiao glanced at Zhou Yan in surprise and said, "I didn’t expect your Eternal Creation Immortal Principle to be so unique and powerful. It seems your talent is indeed astonishing. It is rumored that the White Tiger Saint Spirit highly values you, and it indeed has its reasons."

Hong Yuqiao seemed to have ascertained that An Rufeng wasn’t Zhou Yan, thus couldn’t help but praise.

Zhou Yan smiled faintly, nodded, and said, "Since I dared to come here, naturally, I possess some skills. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have persisted on the first road, even without knowing anything."

Zhou Yan’s statement received unanimous nods of approval from Hong Yuqiao and the few women, including Yun Shiyin.

"Indeed, without such a resolute Taoist heart, one indeed couldn’t pass the first road. In this aspect, Hong Yuqiao, you’re not as good as An Rufeng."

Zhao Xiaoxiao nodded and evaluated.

Hong Yuqiao gave Zhao Xiaoxiao an annoyed glance, choosing to ignore her words.

Zhao Xiaoxiao didn’t mind and continued, "An Rufeng, your earlier thinking seems to have touched upon the rules of this world. It seems you have gained substantial insights. Can you share them? Of course, we won’t demand anything in particular, but if you share, we will also share all our previous realizations and inform you about some situations ahead."

Zhao Xiaoxiao’s words seemed to echo what Yun Shiyin wanted to say.

Therefore, Yun Shiyin opened her mouth but said nothing more.

Qin Ruyu, on the other hand, looked at Zhou Yan with inexplicably bright sparkling eyes, saying nothing, but her eyes were full of anticipation.

Zhou Yan contemplated slightly, nodded, and said, "Truthfully, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have thought of some things, but these are just my speculations. If there’s anything wrong, please don’t take offense."

Zhou Yan made a polite remark.

Qin Ruyu and others immediately nodded, and at this time, Hong Yuqiao also withdrew the protective shield enveloping Zhou Yan. After all, Zhou Yan could somewhat protect himself temporarily, and she didn’t need to be overly obvious in protecting Zhou Yan, lest Zhao Xiaoxiao and others make jokes.

"What I thought is, since this is the Land of Enlightenment for the Word Spirit Race, then this place must be where the first generation Word Spirit King established and founded the King Dao.

And on the Heavenly Road of the King Dao, the reason it can let the Evil Spirit grow must be caused by a kind of hidden rule that circulates here, making it possible to resolve the potential within your bodies.

And I, actually, am the same, so we should adapt and be able to use such abilities and rules. This way, we can become stronger and more defy the heavens."
