Chapter 1537: Chapter 61: Unknown Communication

This way, when Zhou Yan cultivated again, he confidently began his transformation, advancing in space, continuously delving deeper, straight from the sixth level to the ultimate depth of the ninth level.

When Zhou Yan entered the extreme Sand Sea Space of the ninth level, he paused for a moment.

Because it was a dim and desolate space, where there was no Sand Sea at all.

The space itself was an incredibly barren Land of Silence.

It was like the ruins after an apocalyptic destruction, so desolate it made one’s heart tremble.

In this world, Zhou Yan first saw a life form in the independent Holy Spirit Land of Thick Earth in the distance.

This Holy Spirit was the figure of a handsome young man, but he had exceptionally white long hair.

The long hair draped over his shoulders, making him appear extremely desolate and aloof.

When Zhou Yan saw him, curiously, this Holy Spirit also noticed Zhou Yan, then raised his eyes to glance at Zhou Yan.

That gaze was different, not filled with killing intent, not emotionally complex, but merely an annihilating and cold gaze.

That gaze caused Zhou Yan to feel a shiver almost from body to soul, involuntarily generating a feeling of uncontrollable trembling.

In this state, Zhou Yan felt that the Thick Earth Holy Spirit Void he created seemed to be somewhat collapsing.

However, this feeling did not last long and soon disappeared.

When Zhou Yan saw that Holy Spirit, the desolate look in the young Holy Spirit’s eyes also dissipated.

Then, without paying any attention to Zhou Yan, he did not leave independently, but remained in place.

Zhou Yan thought briefly and couldn’t help pondering—was it that Yanyan and Mu Qingyan had not moved before, or was there something unusual about this Holy Spirit youth this time?

Or was it because he hadn’t created a unique Holy Spirit World before, thus seeing a different scene?

If every scene has Holy Spirits behaving the same way, then the killing intent in Mu Qingyan and Yanyan’s eyes before, and the current annihilation and aloofness should be the same? Was it only because previously I didn’t have my Holy Spirit World guardian, so my experience was different?

Or was it the Holy Spirit before him that inherently behaved differently?

Zhou Yan pondered these thoughts, and to verify, he only needed to experience a similar Holy Spirit Land.

However, Zhou Yan did not know how many such Holy Spirit Lands there were or how many he would encounter.

The time spent in the Holy Spirit Land, clearly, wouldn’t be long. Now that over ten days had passed, Zhou Yan also did not know how long he could remain.

Carrying these thoughts, Zhou Yan stabilized his Holy Spirit Void Space and then, like carrying a ball of light, flew towards that Holy Spirit.

But upon sensing Zhou Yan’s approach, the Holy Spirit lifted his head again, his gaze extremely aloof and chilling.

This gaze was once again displayed, yet this time, Zhou Yan felt more of an indifferent and heartless meaning.

"Hua Qiudao, can we talk?"

"I know that between us, there have been many disharmonious past events, but they were all compelled by circumstances."

Zhou Yan transmitted his voice using a unique Emperor Rune Language.

He had a will, using this unique will to transmit information into the opponent’s void.

Would a corresponding voice appear in the opponent’s Holy Spirit World?

Was the opponent also undergoing training somewhere, intersecting through such a channel in different times and spaces?

Whether it was so depended on Zhou Yan’s judgment and whether his communication was successful.

Zhou Yan’s inquiry was like a stone sinking into the sea, without the slightest ripple.

Hua Qiudao did not seem to hear, neither seeing nor hearing.

After waiting a long time, Zhou Yan, ultimately somewhat helpless, sighed and intended to calm down and immerse himself in hard cultivation.

"Yanyan has already refused me, and you all have too many thoughts, so why engage with me now?"

Much later, just when Zhou Yan no longer expected a reply from Hua Qiudao, he suddenly heard Hua Qiudao’s desolate voice.

Hua Qiudao’s voice was very old, so old that, upon hearing it, Zhou Yan thought he was mistaken.

However, Hua Qiudao’s response left Zhou Yan with a sense of perplexity and uncertainty.

Was communication truly possible?

Was dialogue truly feasible?

Were they really in the same place, or at the same point in time?

Zhou Yan contemplated these questions in his heart.

Zhou Yan did not know why he pondered these things, but instinctively, he felt this was extremely important, extremely important!

Amidst this contemplation, Zhou Yan furrowed his brows slightly and said, "Yanyan has her ideas, but I know she did like you in the past. However, things have changed now, and many matters... are better left unsaid. If you have a heart, sincerity breaks through even the hardest barriers."

Zhou Yan spoke in a vague and ambiguous manner.

This was not his intention.

Zhou Yan felt there were things he couldn’t directly ask. Just like he couldn’t ask Hua Qiudao questions like "what night is it tonight?"

It seemed to disrupt some unknown, stable structure.

But Zhou Yan spoke vaguely, if Hua Qiudao, unintentionally, revealed some secrets, it wouldn’t count as ’leaking the heavenly mechanism.’

Despite his intentions, Zhou Yan was careful not to mention anything related to time, space, or the grand creations of the Heavenly Dao.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Hua Qiudao’s eyes suddenly brightened for a moment but then became more dejected.

"No, she won’t forgive me, how could she forgive me? I was wrong, I was truly wrong, I did the most foolish thing in this world, even if Zhou Yan you are willing to accept me, I won’t accept myself.

There’s no need for you to come here anymore, leave Zhou Yan. I know, out of old affection, you have eternally exiled me to the True Void Holy Spirit Land, but this is the only way for me to achieve self-transcendence. If one day I truly transcend, then my white hair shall turn black, I’ll return to my youth, and then I will propose marriage, defeat everything..."

Hua Qiudao sighed, speaking words that stunned Zhou Yan.

Even if these words were uttered unintentionally, without the intention to reveal secrets, Zhou Yan could hear them more clearly.

Finally, Hua Qiudao’s voice faded away, and the space where he was, drifted away like a bubble, breaking free from this Thick Earth Elemental Holy Spirit Land.

And at this moment, Zhou Yan also felt that this heavenly space had become unstable, as if it could shatter at any moment.

"This... this indeed connects different time points to the True Void. But is it the future or the past? If the future Hua Qiudao met the present me... what am I in the eyes of Hua Qiudao now?"

"Then why are Yanyan and Mu Qingyan also in such a space, could it be a so-called ’exile’?"

Zhou Yan thought of many things, immediately tightening his heart, a strange chill flowing through his body.

Zhou Yan felt he seemed to have touched something deeper, which would be the ultimate secret of all eternal life beings!

And he himself was only a layer of fog away from this secret.

As long as he parted this layer of fog, everything would be revealed!

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, daring not to think further, fearing the collapse of this Thick Earth Original Holy Spirit Land, for once it collapsed, Zhou Yan’s cultivation would not be able to continue.

Previously, Zhou Yan felt he was close to the King Realm, but after countless transformations here, Zhou Yan realized the vast gap between the King and eternal life beings!

Zhou Yan could no longer count or analyze how many transformations he had undergone.

But despite so many transformations, he hadn’t reached Great Perfection in the Triple Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules!

Let alone, the further he went, the more difficult his cultivation and transformation became!

Zhou Yan now concentrated and held his breath, clearing his mind of distractions, hastily condensing his King’s True Void World, and using his Thick Earth Original Mark to condense his strength and transform his realm.

This time, with Zhou Yan going all out, it took him nearly three hours to break through the Great Perfection of the Triple Realm of the Eternal Nine Rules, stepping into the Early Stage of the Fourth Layer.

Moreover, at this moment, Zhou Yan’s Thick Earth King’s Seal was fully condensed into the Thunder Flame Sword-shaped Seal, making the King’s Mark even more formidable.

Yet, the space of the Thick Earth Origin also became unstable at this time, as if about to shatter any moment.

Zhou Yan dared not take chances, nor dared to return directly to the Yuan Magnetic Land, instead piercing through this space, exiting the Thick Earth Land.

Under these circumstances, Zhou Yan left the Sand Sea World of the Thick Earth again, entering a completely new domain.

Zhou Yan no longer dwelled on Hua Qiudao’s affairs, but the world before him, after Hua Qiudao, made Zhou Yan’s mind and body tremble, unprepared!

Because the void ahead was the Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh.

It was the Land of Origin of the Thunder Element!

The Thunder Element was also considered Zhou Yan’s life element.

And this space didn’t have nine layers, only one place.

Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh.

In the Thunder Marsh, Hou Chen was still a baby, lying in the pool water, with traces of Immortal Bone and Blood Fetus all over his body.

Zhou Yan silently watched this scene, as if struck by lightning, unable to breathe for a moment.

No matter what scene appeared, it was not as shocking as the one before his eyes.

Even Hou Chen, Zhou Yan never imagined he would be in a baby form, covered in blood, lying in the Heavenly Pool Thunder Marsh.

If Hou Chen’s youthful figure were here, Zhou Yan might not be so deeply shocked.

Zhou Yan gazed at the baby, finding himself unsure of what to do.

The Thunder Element’s Origin in this land was incomparably rich, and the Holy Spirit Breath here was even more abundant than in all the ancient lands.

More abundant than the previous three great Holy Spirit Lands.

If Zhou Yan were to condense the King’s Mark here, condensing the King’s Mark of the Thunder Element, it could not only allow the Thunder Flame King’s Seal to complete a profound transformation but also break through the Fourth Layer of the Eternal Nine Rules in one fell swoop, reaching an even stronger level.
