Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao
Chapter 1542 - 66: Murals Explained
Zhou Yan still couldn’t understand, but he had already proved his experiment — those incomprehensible things, even if they cannot be comprehended or without the corresponding opportunity, can still be copied and taken away. The key is to create a Void Land almost identical to the Holy Spirit Land.
However, after watching twice consecutively, Zhou Yan confirmed that his method was feasible, but he also noticed that his Half-step Monarch Holy Spirit had grown noticeably paler and weaker.
At this moment, Zhou Yan realized that if one doesn’t comprehend such things in the Rules Land corresponding to the Holy Spirit Land, the depletion would be astonishing!
Of course, if his Eternal Half-Saint Spirit is strong enough, such depletion might be tolerable.
Zhou Yan attempted once more, but within a breath, the Monarch Holy Spirit immediately dried up at a more intense speed, faster by billions of times than Zhou Yan’s transformation speed in the Holy Spirit Land!
This time, Zhou Yan was truly quite shocked, realizing the consumption and terror of such things were almost unimaginable.
Taking a deep breath, Zhou Yan returned to the Combat Origin Space Holy Spirit Land. There, he reconstructed the True Void Heavenly Forbidden World and painstakingly restored his depleted Half-Saint Spirit Origin before continuing onward, directly passing through the Combat Origin World.
Passing through that world, Zhou Yan deliberately ignored the battles of Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin and bypassed them.
In this manner, upon entering the next world, Zhou Yan immediately felt his Seven Emotions and Six Desires become extremely sensitive.
Yet at the same time, Zhou Yan also displayed an extremely heartless deadly intent, as if there is a contradictory sense of slaying his Seven Emotions and Six Desires.
"Here... this is the Emotional and Heartless Origins, actually the dual-original Holy Spirit Land?"
Zhou Yan carefully experienced, and instantly his heart was deeply shocked. He hadn’t expected that the Holy Spirit Land would reveal the dual-original coexistence in its later stage.
Then here, not only must one refine the Emotional Origin, but also condense the Heartless Origin King Mark?
Or, these two King Marks are merely a dual natured Origin Mark?
For a moment, Zhou Yan was quite hesitant.
This was the first time he couldn’t grasp the situation.
However, after pondering for a while, Zhou Yan decided to follow his heart.
Currently, Zhou Yan’s Soul Body detaches, and after the Eternal Half-Saint Spirit flies out, it directly manifests the Emotional and Heartless Sword Dao Origins, thus the Affectionate Sword Dao and Lifeless Sword Dao directly manifest on Zhou Yan’s Eternal Half-Saint Spirit.
With this, Zhou Yan didn’t deliberately think about how to refine the Elemental Origin but merely began to strengthen his realm.
Using the Heaven and Earth Origins to enhance his realm, the elevation of the realm naturally promotes the instinctive condensation of the King Mark.
At that time, whichever King Mark is instinctively condensed, that will be the chosen Tao.
This situation is akin to the choice between Affectionate Sword Dao and Heartless Sword Dao again, indeed deeply affecting Zhou Yan.
However, Zhou Yan’s method also yielded results here.
After Zhou Yan’s transformation starting from the Seventh Realm of Eternal Nine Rules, the Emotional Sword Dao King Mark and Heartless Sword Dao King Mark appeared simultaneously, forming an independent Chaotic Emotion Dao Mark and began condensing.
Both Emotional and Heartless are contained within the Emotion Dao.
Here, it is not truly two King Marks, but still merely one King Mark.
Just the King Mark here contains two classifications of King Marks.
The King Mark here is evidently more complex, a compound nature King Mark.
Thus, by doing this, Zhou Yan inadvertently initiated the true Inheritance Mark method here according to his heart.
Otherwise, regardless if Zhou Yan condenses an Emotional Mark or a Heartless Mark, or even condenses two King Marks, if unable to combine and form the Emotion Dao Mark, Zhou Yan’s enlightenment will end, failing this time, exiting the Holy Spirit Land, losing further enlightenment opportunities.
After Zhou Yan condensed the foundation of the Emotional Dao King’s Mark, he instantly derived these results.
Immediately, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but feel a sense of gratefulness, stating that this attempt involved some coincidence and some fortune.
After all, whether instinctive condensation can truly judge accurately, or if oneself lacks firmness, success remains uncertain.
In such circumstances, Zhou Yan was quite reflective. Then, Zhou Yan settled his heart immediately and continued the arduous cultivation.
Knowing the direction, further condensing the King Mark and transforming the realm will naturally become more convenient and relaxed.
This is a considerably complex process, but with the foundation established, although the process is complex, it is no longer difficult.
Such a journey resembles a repetitive process. Zhou Yan soon entered the Sixth Layer of the Emotional Dao Origin Space Holy Spirit Land, reaching the extremity unable to progress further.
Presently, Zhou Yan summoned his Soul Body and began arduous cultivation.
After arduous cultivation for about two days, reaching the brink of collapse and madness, Zhou Yan awoke and started creating his own Emotional Dao World.
The manifestation of the Affectionate Sword Dao and Lifeless Sword Dao, in this Emotion Dao Holy Spirit Land, also for the first time exceeded one hundred percent compatibility with Zhou Yan.
It was an extremely peculiar feeling, in that feeling, Zhou Yan clearly experienced an overflowing sense of Great Perfection.
Such a state resulted from the degree of conformity exceeding the limit.
In this state, Zhou Yan’s cultivation received a tremendous enhancement.
Zhou Yan’s realm advanced far faster than in previous cultivation.
In none of the previous Holy Spirit Lands was cultivation this swift.
Yet, even with such speed, the progress of Zhou Yan’s realm advancement still appeared neither rushed nor slow.
Zhou Yan understood it was due to the increasing difficulty of transforming the later realms; he was neither regretful nor disappointed by this, but rather filled with conviction due to the unexpected speed of progress.
Zhou Yan refined his rules to the extreme; this time, just upon entering the Ninth Layer Emotional Dao Space, Zhou Yan had already cultivated to the Seventh Great Perfection realm of the Eternal Nine Rules.
This state made Zhou Yan even more confident.
So he immediately launched an assault on the Eighth Layer of the Eternal Nine Rules.
This was an indescribably difficult process; even with the core resources of the Emotional Dao’s Dual Life Holy Spirit Land, Zhou Yan’s supreme speed of advancement here, the King Immortal Principle of the True Void Heavenly Prohibition also derived to the extreme, still could not shake the next realm.
Such difficulty made Zhou Yan finally realize, after nine layers of King’s Rules have stacked, transforming the final realm is indeed incredibly challenging.
After all, achieving Eternal Life as beings are by no means worthless, but why other beings have delayed achieving kingship likely lies here.
Without such vast rules and energy impact, without such powerful condensation of the King’s Mark, how could this realm be shaken?
Perhaps, because Zhou Yan’s soul strength is a billionfold, and because before Zhou Yan condensed the King Immortal Principle Ninth Layer, the difficulty compared to ordinary Eternal Life beings multiplied many times over.
But even so, ordinary beings cannot possess this transformation speed in the dual-core area of the Holy Spirit Land!
Comparing both, Zhou Yan felt the difficulty ordinary beings face in the final transformation is far greater than his current difficulty, unimaginably large.
While Zhou Yan was deep in thought, his realm finally loosened amid the endless impact, and he was about to cross into the Eighth Layer realm of the Eternal Nine Rules.
Yet at this moment, Zhou Yan once again saw Holy Spirit combat in this core area.
Moreover, it was still Jiang Tianxin and Jiang Tianling.
However, this time the battle involved not only the Void, but there was also a battlefield!
And upon seeing that battlefield, Zhou Yan’s gaze suddenly sharpened!
The battlefield turned out to be on the Golden Armor Battleship!
This combat scene revealed transformations like pictures, each transformation in a battle like a plane imprinted into the Combat Origin, forming unique murals inside the cabin of the Golden Armor Battleship!
"Golden Armor Battleship? Cabin murals?"
"Isn’t that the Withered Bone Warship?"
"Could it be that the Withered Bone Warship is the state after the Golden Armor Battleship was destroyed?"
"The murals inside the cabin of the Withered Bone Warship are imprinted images of the combat planes of the Holy Spirit Land?"
Zhou Yan’s heart was shocked, once again unraveling a huge secret within the endless mysteries!
Once, the murals inside the cabin of the Withered Bone Warship contained all sorts of mysterious information, also including earth-shaking battle scenes like a time stop!
Zhou Yan had always doubted the origins of those scenes, but never knew the origin.
Now, Zhou Yan suddenly understood!
He knew this was the manifestation imprint of the origin rules of the battles in Holy Spirit Land, like Dao Traces left by an enlightenment, very mysterious.
"Turns out the Withered Bone Warship is the destroyed state of the Golden Armor Battleship. Turns out, the murals inside the cabin are the record traces of Holy Spirit battles."
"Then, had the Holy Spirit battles already occurred? Or have they always existed?"
"Then when I saw the murals inside the Withered Bone Warship, experiencing the Holy Spirit battles now, is it that there is only a brief change in time?"
"Or, in my view, several or tens of years have passed, but in the variation of the combat rules of Holy Spirit Land, perhaps this counts as a blink of time?"
"Just like the battle between Hou Chen and Bi Shui Fairy, a battle extending through endless ages?"
Zhou Yan’s heart was filled with endless thoughts, and each thought seemed to touch upon the essence of these situations.
While Zhou Yan focused on the battle between Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin, Jiang Tianling and Jiang Tianxin also sensed Zhou Yan’s presence again, and they both shook the void, launching attacks towards Zhou Yan.
