Chapter 1523: Chapter 47: Half-Sacred Spirit

The Emperor, upon hearing this, also appeared more solemn and said, "This matter actually is somewhat related to you. I came this time to find out if you have any information about Gu Xi."

The Emperor’s inquiry left Zhou Yan slightly stunned, then he apologetically said, "Gu Xi, I haven’t heard from her in a long time. I’m sorry, Emperor, I couldn’t take good care of her. However, she has her own thoughts, so she left on her own, and no being can stop her."

"It’s okay, that’s not what I meant. I just wanted to confirm if her information has emerged."

The Emperor said indifferently.

Then, the Emperor was silent for a moment and said, "Zhou Yan, I am here this time to take you to meet a being, no, a Half-Sacred Spirit."

As the Emperor spoke, he looked at Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan pondered slightly and said, "Is the Emperor perhaps referring to Bai Ying?"

"Yes, it’s her."

"I see, then where is she? Perhaps the Emperor could go with me."

Zhou Yan agreed directly.

Something significant must be involved for the Emperor to act like this.

In fact, the Emperor could have directly let Zhou Yan go to the Sumeru Immortal Mountain first, and then go with him to meet Bai Ying, but the Emperor didn’t do that. Instead, he came to the Elf Domain and asked in almost a negotiating tone, which also showed the Emperor’s respect for Zhou Yan.

Since the Emperor acted this way, how could Zhou Yan not appreciate it?

So, Zhou Yan agreed without any hesitation.

The Emperor nodded and sighed, saying, "It’s good that you agreed. Actually, Bai Ying is quite extraordinary, but it’s not convenient for me to say more. After you meet her, you’ll probably know some things. The place she’s in doesn’t require passing through the Sumeru Immortal Mountain, but it’s also a very ancient and unique place; you might also have some impression of it."

The Emperor said, revealing a gentle smile.

Zhou Yan felt a slight chill in his heart, and then all the past scenes immediately replayed in his mind. In just a breath, Zhou Yan locked onto a very unique place.

Zhou Yan’s eyes brightened as he said, "Ancient Ice Glacier? Could it be that there is such a place in today’s Eternal Domain as well?"

"Yes, exactly this place."

The Emperor confirmed.

Zhou Yan felt somewhat speechless, but he also knew that since the Soul Burying Starfield was chosen by the Moral King as a place for teaching and a prison land, it was only normal for such a place to have numerous projections.

"Many things in the past Soul Burying Starfield are actually a kind of experiment, an examination—for instance, difficulties that cannot be encountered in reality are deduced in that Soul Burying Starfield through rules and abilities before being faced in reality, which is a way of accumulating experience."

"It’s like giving the beings training in a dangerous illusionary environment, allowing them to grow stronger. The principle is actually the same."

"When the beings become accustomed to such dangers, they will at least have more abilities to cope with real dangers."

The Emperor explained.

Zhou Yan understood instantly.

For he had memories of this in his mind.

These memories corresponded to those of the Thunder Flame Monarch when Zhou Yan had once experienced ’taming.’

That kind of experience was actually also a construction of an Illusion Realm, simulating unique perilous effects, then conducting avatar training.

Because the true perilous lands are almost impossible to train in.

Just like the Reincarnation Ancient Land, or the Elf Domain Sea, which were initially inaccessible, the Thunder Flame Monarch constructed these worlds through the True Void Heavenly Prohibition, familiarizing with them through avatar training, and eventually developed their domains.

In fact, many Heavenly Roads were also developed by numerous Holy Spirits and beings using the same methods.

So now mentioning the Ancient Ice Glacier, Zhou Yan wasn’t surprised.

"I indeed understand this point; our Elf Domain’s Elf Domain Sea was indeed developed this way."

Zhou Yan said with recognition.

"Yes, and the place we’re taking you to this time is also such a place. It’s also Bai Ying’s origin foundation; once there, the specifics will be up to you, and I’ll just be a guide."

The Emperor spoke, then looked at Zhou Yan again, saying, "Is there anything you can’t leave behind in the Elf Domain? If there is, I can wait for about two days. If not, we can depart immediately."

"Nothing, the Elf Domain is currently quite stable, and some things can’t be dealt with in two days; I’ll handle them after I return. For now, heading to the Ancient Ice Glacier is fine; I’ll just send a message to Jiang Yuning and them."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he began gathering Immortal King Rule information, using Soul Power waves to send it out, conveying and settling some matters.

Jiang Yuning and Fei Ya, now very adept at working together, were reluctant to see Zhou Yan leave but were very responsible about the bigger picture.

At once, Jiang Yuning and Fei Ya sent messages back, assuring Zhou Yan that he could leave without worry.

Thus, Zhou Yan, along with the Emperor, entered the Eight Diagrams Singularity Space opened by the Emperor and instantly departed.

...

As he traveled through, the changes in the singularity were extremely complex. Even with Zhou Yan’s current abilities, he could only understand about two parts out of ten. This made Zhou Yan deeply aware that without becoming a King, he was ultimately lacking in the most basic abilities.

Back then, opening the space of a singularity, Yun Shiyin nearly exhausted all her foundation, and even had the support of an Evil Spirit’s foundation.

However, for a King, the ability to open endless singularities with a mere thought was not beyond reach. The disparity was astonishingly vast.

Zhou Yan sighed inwardly. The Emperor merely gave a faint smile and said, "Zhou Yan, this ability is actually just the most basic ability of a King, like a mature child who knows how to run. There’s truly nothing to envy. Once you achieve becoming a King, not to mention opening a singularity, but even creating one, you will be fully capable with your abilities.

Your strong Soul origin gives you exceptionally good talent in this area."

"In fact, even the Holy Spirits would envy this."

The Emperor said with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but smile too.

After spending nearly an hour on the way, Zhou Yan and the Emperor reached a very ancient icefield.

The icefield was surrounded by Void, fragmented folds, folded Void, extremely eerie and ferocious.

If Zhou Yan were traveling alone, he would definitely not come to such a place.

This kind of place gave him an unsettling feeling, as if there was inexplicable danger present at all times.

"She has sensed you, coming to meet you, so I can only leave first."

"Zhou Yan, Bai Ying is actually quite good. If you have the ability, why not..."

The Emperor’s words were halved, his expression momentarily changing slightly, after which he immediately transformed into a beam of light and disappeared.

"Fu Xi, you, being a person of a generation, having such thoughts, wouldn’t it bring shame to the descendants of the Human Clan?"

From afar, a white light suddenly shot across, penetrating the spot where the Emperor was.

But the Emperor was already gone without a trace.

In the white light, a shadow gradually gathered and eventually evolved into a woman of unparalleled beauty and elegance, her demeanor extraordinarily unmatched.

The woman wore a long white feathered dress, entirely snow-white, like the most ethereal Elf.

Zhou Yan had seen countless beauties, whether it was Mu Qingyan, Yanyan, Feng Zishuang, Fei Ya, Jiang Yuning, or Long Xianyin, their beauty nearly reached the ultimate pinnacle, making hearts thrill.

But Bai Ying at this moment was breathtakingly beautiful, and uniquely so.

Bai Ying is, after all, a peerless powerhouse of the Jade Fox clan, with the enchanting bloodline like Gu Xi, possessing such unparalleled beauty is no surprise, yet this time Bai Ying seemed even more exceptionally beautiful, which instead made Zhou Yan slightly puzzled.

However, Zhou Yan remained stable and composed.

He looked at Bai Ying calmly, seemingly awaiting her answer.

"Zhou Yan, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time. Originally, I didn’t plan to find you so early, but I had no choice."

Bai Ying’s breath was as fragrant as orchids, her entire being carrying a cold, refreshing scent, invigorating one’s spirit.

In truth, Zhou Yan wished to take a deep breath, but his relationship with Bai Ying was not as harmonious as before, so he refrained from any bold actions.

Though the Emperor’s words carried implications, Zhou Yan now had no desire for romantic pursuits.

"Bai Ying, I never thought you were so powerful, though I should’ve realized it long ago."

Zhou Yan showed a hint of a wry smile and said.

"A woman, no matter how powerful, is still just a woman; even for Life and Holy Spirits, this cannot be denied."

Bai Ying smiled faintly, generously casting a glance at Zhou Yan, and said.

Zhou Yan rubbed his nose, remaining silent.

The meaning in Bai Ying’s words seemed to carry a teasing tone, yet Zhou Yan thought perhaps it was just a misinterpretation.

"Zhou Yan, your growth has been incredibly rapid, you’re already eligible to evolve into an Eternal Spirit, so I must find you. This matter is a significant change that you must face, and you should know, time is truly not abundant. Our time to grow is limited, so I’ve come to find you, hoping you transform your Eternal Spirit into a Fake Saint Spirit.

This is the first step in achieving the King Realm!"

Bai Ying’s words took Zhou Yan by surprise.

"So soon? Although I considered achieving the King Realm early, my Eternal Eight Rules Realm hasn’t reached Great Perfection yet, isn’t it too hasty to achieve becoming a King?"

Zhou Yan slightly frowned, his expression grave, and said.

"There’s no time left, everything is changing too quickly, now the Holy Spirit Land is about to experience turmoil. If turmoil arises in the Holy Spirit Land..."
