Chapter 1652: Chapter 155: Sword Origin Condenses Gu Xi (Part 2)
"Because the Sword Origin Pool of the Bishui Sword Sect lacks a bit of bloodline inheritance."
Zhou Yan said.
"How do you know?"
At this moment, Gu Yuxi restrained herself from anger and asked.
"Of course I know because I am Zhou Yan."
Zhou Yan’s tone was calm, but even if the words were spoken so calmly, they appeared overwhelmingly formidable.
"Do you want to know how to solve it?"
Zhou Yan asked.
"Would you be willing to tell me?"
Gu Yuxi retorted.
Zhou Yan nodded and said, "If according to the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, intersections and integration take place, soon, an ’Emperor Qi Sword Body’ will emerge.
The Bishui Sword Sect should send a disciple to the Zhou Family to form an alliance through marriage, inheriting the bloodline, and leaving behind the cultivation technique—the Bishui Swordsmanship."
"Don’t think this is a leak of the Bishui Sword Sect’s Sword Dao, because the Bishui Swordsmanship is truly insignificant in my eyes. For this, I can help the Bishui Sword Sect enhance the quality of the Bishui Swordsmanship, elevating it by about ten grades, which is completely feasible."
Zhou Yan calmly stated.
"Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, who do you think you are? Do you think you are the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor?"
"I am not the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor; in my eyes, the Sword Dao Saint Ancestor is nothing more than an ant."
"Ha, I’ve never seen such an arrogant and ignorant junior."
"You may not believe it, but your Sword Dao cannot be displayed in front of me."
"Ridiculous to the extreme!"
...
Zhou Yan’s words encountered the strong resistance and sarcasm of the Third Elder, but just as Zhou Yan stated, the Third Elder was unable to display any Sword Dao in front of Zhou Yan; all the Sword Intent failed to manifest.
At first, the Third Elder was still unbelieving.
But when she forcefully attempted to condense Sword Intent and suffered a severe backlash, she finally experienced a sense of astonishment.
The remaining seven elders who were initially keen to attempt also immediately became somber.
"Who are you?"
Gu Yuxi’s face suddenly turned extremely serious, no longer having any trace of negligence.
"I told you, I am Zhou Yan, currently the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect."
"So, are you prepared to listen to me now?"
Zhou Yan asked.
"How can I trust you? How could the future of the Bishui Sword Sect be handed to a stranger?"
Gu Yuxi said, her face immensely solemn.
Her gaze fixed directly on Zhou Yan, intently studying his expression for any trace of emotion.
"Does the Bishui Sword Sect have any future now? Just one word from me, and the Blood Nether Saint Lord or the Ancient City Saint Master could destroy the Bishui Sword Sect. Or, I myself could perform a small technique, and the Bishui Sword Sect would also be annihilated."
Zhou Yan stated calmly.
Upon hearing this, Gu Yuxi and the eight elders present all turned extremely pale.
Although they couldn’t accept it, they couldn’t deny that it was indeed a fact.
Indeed, Zhou Yan possessed such capability.
If previously they didn’t believe it, now they couldn’t help but believe it.
Moreover, the figures of the Blood Nether Saint Lord and Ancient City Saint Master were well-known by Gu Yuxi and the others, and considering how those two formidable characters treated Zhou Yan so respectfully, it was clear that Zhou Yan was truly extraordinary.
Gu Yuxi was not foolish; previously she thought the Blood Nether Saint Lord and the Ancient City Saint Master were respectful due to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but now, Zhou Yan’s attitude and conduct made them realize that those two masters were respectful not to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, but to the Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son before them.
Realizing this point, Gu Yuxi’s expression became somewhat uncertain.
After a long pause, she finally said, "What do you intend to do?"
"It’s not about what I intend to do, but you need simply obey. Rest assured, in consideration of Gu Xi, I won’t trouble you and will instead enable the Bishui Sword Sect to truly expand."
As Zhou Yan spoke, he inexplicably sighed.
No one knew why he sighed.
But after finishing speaking, Zhou Yan suddenly reached into the void, gently grasped it, and immediately the void trembled sharply. Then, a trace of white Thunder Light was actually caught by Zhou Yan and held in his hand.
"Ancestor Dragon Divine Light, Bloodline Mark; in the future, if a young man named ’Zhou Gucheng’ appears, remember to submit."
"Refining God and Returning Void, Returning to Void and Unifying."
Zhou Yan inscribed mark after mark, imprinting soul energy after soul energy, and condensed an will, an will of the Zhou Family bloodline within.
"Gucheng, this is all I can help you with, Zhou Yan can only assist you up to this point. If in the future, you can refine this Ancestor Thunder Divine Light, you will naturally achieve great power; if you cannot... changes will surely occur in the future."
Zhou Yan sighed, murmuring to himself.
No one could understand what he did.
He did not speak directly; those words were only spoken in his heart.
Thus, his actions were incomprehensible to everyone present.
Yet Zhou Yan’s methods still shocked everyone at the scene.
Because such techniques might not be achievable even by Gu Yuxi, let alone the Saint Master.
After completing this scene, Zhou Yan pondered and carved a heaven and earth with Sword Dao, imprinting a mark, guiding this mark to penetrate the void and enter the Void Ancient Land, imprinting soul energy there, deriving the True Illusion Realm.
True and false, false and real.
After completing this process, Zhou Yan further condensed a lot of Origin energy and his own understanding of the ’Tao’ within.
Whether or not in that day, when the Sword Origin Pool of the Great Zhou family opens, entering the True Illusion Realm for training will gain endless benefits.
Yet only one bloodline can activate the true foundation.
That is—Zhou Yan’s own bloodline.
This time, in the future, Zhou Yan is planning for the past.
Zhou Yan even wanted to see what was the cause leading to everything along the way.
Many things, hidden amidst truth and falsehood, conceal significant cause and effect.
And some things ignored back then, led to the catastrophe of the Emperor Soul Clan, leading to that tragic scene.
Zhou Yan took a deep breath, continuing to unleash the power of his soul, changing the Sword Origin Pool.
After a long while, Zhou Yan felt his energy was about to run dry, immediately knowing he had reached his limit.
The previously stored essence and spirit energy, as well as his own potential, were quickly exhausted in such consumption.
But Zhou Yan did not mind.
After retracting his techniques, the Sword Origin Pool was still the Sword Origin Pool, but completely transformed its appearance.
"Let’s go, to Sword Origin Mountain."
Zhou Yan said.
Then, he proceeded ahead.
Gu Yuxi and the eight elders beside her followed with extremely complicated expressions.
Up to now, if they still couldn’t see the deep connection between Zhou Yan and the Bishui Sword Sect, then they really were useless.
Thus, even Gu Yuxi didn’t say anything, silently following Zhou Yan.
Soon, Zhou Yan arrived at Sword Origin Mountain.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan silently gazed at the void of Sword Origin Mountain, and in that moment, Zhou Yan released his soul energy, while bloodline power also drifted out.
As if a mark-like power began to drift out bit by bit, permeating within the soul energy.
At that moment, Zhou Yan performed a very peculiar Tao, this Tao seemed like a transcendent way, as if it had detached from any rules of this world.
Within this Tao, Zhou Yan used soul energy and his own blood and mark, began to carve ancient Emperor Patterns, combining them to form a very young, beautiful figure.
This figure, wearing an apricot-yellow gauze dress, looming.
Her figure charming and adorable, her beautiful and heart-rending face also was extraordinarily stunning.
"Emperor Xi!"
Upon seeing this apparition appear, Gu Yuxi and others were all shocked, immediately kneeling down.
But this apparition seemed to have no response.
She just looked at Zhou Yan, as if confirming something.
After a long while, a gleaming mist appeared in her large eyes.
She slightly nodded, said nothing, and quickly vanished.
However, when she disappeared, Zhou Yan clearly saw, deep relief in her eyes, along with strong attachment and reluctance.
"Xi’er, I will return soon, it’s just an epoch, I will catch up."
Zhou Yan murmured in his heart.
