Chapter 1655: Chapter 157: Laying Out the Future
Gu Yuxi felt a strange sense of familiarity, constantly feeling that the scene was reminiscent of something, yet unable to recall when she had experienced it.
Doubt crept into her heart, but after repeatedly pondering without finding an answer, she could only bury the scene deep within her heart.
This mindset was exactly like the feeling Zhou Yan had when he first faced unknown yet familiar environments.
However, Gu Yuxi didn’t know the reason, while Zhou Yan now knew the real reason.
The true reason was that they encountered some rules that couldn’t be remembered, thus they couldn’t retain them.
Though having experienced it, they still forgot.
This was the source of the familiarity.
In the midst of this familiar feeling, Gu Yuxi couldn’t help but feel more intimate with Zhou Yan, as if Zhou Yan was like her closest family member.
It was a very inexplicable feeling, yet for a cultivator, such inexplicable feelings were precisely the ones that made them trust the most.
When Gu Yuxi looked at Zhou Yan again, her gaze contained not only respect but also closeness.
"Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son—"
Gu Yuxi spoke.
"Hmm."
Zhou Yan responded.
"Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, do you have any more instructions?"
Gu Yuxi paused for a moment and then asked.
"No, everything that needs to be done for Bishui Sword Sect, I’ve done. The rest, you all can handle as you see fit."
Zhou Yan said.
Gu Yuxi nodded, then respectfully bowed to Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan received her respect directly, and after bidding farewell to Gu Yuxi, he transformed into Heavenly Mechanism Soul Qi using Heavenly Mechanism Skill and left the place.
Zhou Yan departed, but the changes in Bishui Sword Sect were just beginning.
Gu Yuxi’s understanding of Bishui Sword Sect was now rather profound, and the more she carefully understood the situation of Bishui Sword Sect, the more complicated her feelings became.
Zhou Yan gave Bishui Sword Sect benefits akin to rebirth, yet initially, they were full of distrust toward each other.
"Heavenly Mechanism... Senior Zhou Yan, Bishui Sword Sect and Cold Ice Sword Sect will surely not disappoint you!"
...
Zhou Yan left Bishui Sword Sect and wandered within a thousand-mile radius of the sect.
Under layers of Void energy sensing, Zhou Yan still didn’t find any traces of Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain.
It seemed, Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain didn’t exist in this world.
"Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, it appears to really be connected to the Jiang family. Then, can we glimpse the Emperor Soul Clan from the Jiang family of this world?"
"Perhaps, I can... strategize a bit."
Zhou Yan muttered to himself.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan was still somewhat dissatisfied with his current abilities, for his current realm was ultimately still relatively low.
The mere sixth level of Soul Condensation Realm was far from enough.
"According to changes in time and rules, in terms of time, it still requires a battle and the distortion of time to settle a three-thousand-year period."
"After the time distortion, three thousand years will pass in an instant, while, in reality, only twenty years will truly elapse."
"Then, now, should Brother Lee Ran appear?"
Zhou Yan assessed, his gaze slightly brightening.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan headed towards the location of Carefree Main City.
There, was a place, was a person, who might contact Lee Ran.
The current Lee Ran, is he the past Lee Ran, and Zhou Yan couldn’t make a determination.
But comparatively, Zhou Yan seemed more like someone who had returned from the future.
The Emperor Soul Clan ultimately altered the axis of time, and this was a very complex rule that Zhou Yan was now facing, the result brought about by this change.
Like a cycle, but developing in not entirely the same way.
If in this development, there was a person who could replace a series of experiences Zhou Yan had once had, then... Zhou Yan would indeed cease to exist.
And once established, the rules of the Emperor Soul Clan would collapse.
This was the reason behind Zhou Yan’s strategy.
However, this involved even more complex elements.
Zhou Yan went to the Yang Family, looking for a person named ’Yang Wufeng’, who was ’Yang Qingtan’s father and also the first person to contact ’Lee Xinyu’.
Ghost Rain Sword Soul Lee Xinyu was a very peculiar character, once dead, but inexplicably revived.
Zhou Yan once believed this person had lived into a next life, or was influenced by parallel worlds, but now it seemed this person was someone affected by changes in the time axis, thus this person was a breakthrough point.
Besides this character, Yang Qingtan must also be closely related to Lee Ran.
Because Yang Qingtan was Lee Ran’s first choice for inheritance, and if it were merely to be passed on to Zhou Yan, there was no need for Yang Qingtan to choose.
There was a reason behind this.
Zhou Yan pondered as he quickly arrived outside Tianji Mountain in Tianji City of Carefree Main City.
Tianji City, Yang Family.
The Yang Family was a very large family.
In Tianji City, it was considered one of the top.
However, in Zhou Yan’s eyes, the scale of the Yang Family was insignificant.
Zhou Yan flew over the Yang Family’s mansion, his soul qi spreading and sweeping carefully.
Oddly enough, he didn’t find the existence of Yang Wufeng.
Not only did he not find Yang Wufeng, but he also found no trace of Yang Qingtan.
The current Yang Qingtan might be a youth or perhaps just recently born, but he certainly existed.
Zhou Yan searched back and forth twice, still unable to find any information.
