Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1360 - 102: Those... Regrets

Zhou Yan didn’t speak, he just took a gentle breath and said, "Even though this is the Eternal Life Realm, I am still so powerless in front of Mu Qingyan."

"Yes, even if I encountered her, it would be the same result."

"The same, being killed in one move."

The answer given by Human King Fu Xi shocked Zhou Yan.

"But Gu Xi managed to block it..."

As Zhou Yan spoke, a sudden pain struck his body and mind, instantly reminding him of something very sorrowful.

"She is guarding your Life Soul."

"That’s why she can do it, it’s actually a self-destructive way to protect it."

"She doesn’t have much time left, go see her."

"Then, take your Life Soul and complete your final transformation, restore your memories."

The Human King Fu Xi said, and suddenly a unique Eight Diagrams Power emerged from his eyes. Suddenly the Void changed, and Zhou Yan found himself back in the room he had been in before.

At this moment, there was only Gu Xi in the room, but Gu Xi had become extremely thin and weak.

Zhou Yan reached out, only to find that Gu Xi’s hand was like Yanyan’s, as cold as ice to the extreme.

"Xier, you... "

"Husband, don’t worry, as an Eternal Life Being, I am Immortal. So I will only sleep for a long time. Moreover, back then, I was also always asleep, protecting the true Life Soul of my husband."

"Now, it’s the same."

"It’s just that now there’s really only Gu Xi alone in solitary sleep, no longer accompanied by your husband’s Life Soul."

"Husband, I know you are in pain, but I only hate myself for not being able to share this pain. I wanted to refine the Life Soul, replace you, and do many things, but I couldn’t. Other than silently giving you everything, I don’t know how else to help you."

"Previously, I was suppressed by the Life Soul in your husband’s Soul Sea, and couldn’t come out, so I couldn’t save Yanyan. Otherwise, even if it meant Eternal Destruction, I would have saved her."

"After you went mad, the Soul Sea self-destructed, and I was able to escape, but by then it was already too late."

"Husband, I’m sorry."

Gu Xi said softly.

Tears were already streaming down.

Zhou Yan was stunned, at a loss.

He no longer knew what to do; everything was far more cruel than he had imagined.

Suddenly, Zhou Yan didn’t want to refine this last trace of Life Soul at all.

He had already lived out an independent self, so why continue the past pains?

Was it avoidance, or did he really not want to?

Zhou Yan pondered for a moment, then his gaze became extremely determined.

"Xier, keep the Life Soul, I won’t use it for now. I want to transcend this final transformation with my own strength, my own will, my own Tao and truly achieve the Thunder Lord of Eternal Life! I could achieve that state in the past, now I certainly can!"

"The Life Soul, keep it, at a crucial moment, it will surely be useful! Xier, help me guard it well."

Zhou Yan’s words were solemn.

This time, he had never been so resolute.

And once he made a decision, it would never change.

Gu Xi opened her mouth.

She knew Zhou Yan was acting impulsively, wanting the Life Soul to continue guarding the dissipating Soul Power; she knew Zhou Yan had realized that without the Life Soul, she, Gu Xi, would inevitably dissipate, and disappear eternally, which is why he did this.

But she also understood Zhou Yan, knowing that once Zhou Yan decided, he would never change his will.

Gu Xi shed tears again, but silently condensed her heart, preventing herself from crying, and worked hard to protect that still vibrant heart.

...

Zhou Yan walked out of the small wooden cabin, once again led by Bai Ying, he arrived at the mountaintop.

Then, Zhou Yan sat quietly on the ground, beside Long Xianyin and Qian Xi.

Red Face, now only two remained by his side, Zhou Yan, should cherish, and truly strive, and truly go mad.

Hou Chen, Sisi, as well as Liu Haoxin and all others were all here.

Zhou Yan could no longer be despondent, nor desperate, but he couldn’t speak of some results, couldn’t mention the cruel outcome of the ultimate battle.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and said, "Though we all failed in this Nine Origin Reincarnation, there is good news that Yanyan and Gucheng are okay, nothing happened to them. It’s just that, for now, they’ve been enslaved, turned into Puppets like Zhou Ying and Zhou Qianqian. But their self-will still exists.

So, as long as we grow stronger in the future, rescuing them won’t be a difficult task.

This is actually good news, because compared to all the dangers we’re in, Yanyan and Gucheng being with the Lord of Ice and Snow is extremely safe."

"Of course, the bad news is that because of the failure of the Nine Origin, the break in inheritance has left many of us not reaching the Eternal Life Realm, nor experiencing the final transformations of our Soul Bodies and physical bodies. So, we must undergo this transformative cultivation here, this process will be extremely tough.

After we step into the Eternal Life Realm, we will enter the Ziwei Emperor Star, enter the true Immortal Region."

"In the Immortal Region, all life has the characteristics of Eternal Life, but they can also be destroyed and perish. The worlds there are those of higher beings, with Slaughter, there are... matters of Life and Death.

We must quickly grow and continually strengthen ourselves."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he could no longer continue.

This seemed like a cruel Reincarnation, destined to continue endlessly.

"Master, as long as Yanyan is fine, Uncle Gucheng is okay, any other hardships, we can bear."

"In the past, when we were weak, how defiant was the Evil King, and wasn’t he eventually subdued by us?"

"Moreover, having endured endless hardships and trials, as a disciple, I believe that in the cultivation of the Eternal Life Realm, we certainly have an extraordinary advantage!"

Hou Chen stated with great certainty.

Of course, this was also what he truly felt inside.

He didn’t know the cruelty of the truth.

But Zhou Yan would not reveal this ultimate truth, would not say that the Lord of Ice and Snow, powerful enough to rival kings, was invaded by an unknown energy, becoming a puppet.

This is a terrifying disaster, to the extent that all eternal life forms might be destroyed and perish due to this energy.

This is no longer just the future of the Human Clan; even the survival of the Eternal Life Tribes will be tested in this transformation.

Zhou Yan, who bears the future of the Eternal Life Tribes, also questioned why it chose him Zhou Yan, and not someone else?

He previously didn’t know this reason, but now he knows—Lei Yan King is actually the avatar of the Thunder Lord.

And the Thunder Lord is the Master of Heavenly Punishment, the Thunder King.

Unfortunately, due to certain reasons, the Thunder King had to destroy himself and live on to the next life.

The left avatar actually only serves to aid the growth of the next life.

And Zhou Yan, his ultimate bloodline is that of the Thunder Lord.

This is why he shoulders the terrible disaster of resisting the invasion of the unknown energy by the Lord of Ice and Snow.

And the destruction of the inheritance of the Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas may well have been due to the invasion of certain abnormal energies.

Of course, there are definitely even more terrifying changes that Zhou Yan is unaware of.

But Zhou Yan knows that once he awakens the Thunder Lord, which is also the memory of that missing fragment, it would only alert the enemy, and not improve the situation.

The situation has already deteriorated to such an extreme.

Unimaginable.

While Zhou Yan was pondering, Long Xianyin and others also relaxed a bit.

Such powerful crushing pressure was truly a destructive impact on these talented figures, a devastating blow.

Zhou Yan conceded that even his strong will was directly destroyed by successive means.

Zhou Yan also knew that Yanyan had actually derived a certain conclusion from the beginning, or she wouldn’t have acted this way.

However, the Ten Thousand Soul Void will still emerge.

The end of the Ten Thousand Soul Void will also definitely appear.

It’s just a matter of time.

Only then did Zhou Yan realize why in those few days, Yanyan clung to him so much, liked to lean into his embrace so childishly.

Zhou Yan thought it was Yanyan’s infatuation, but in reality, it was Yanyan’s final farewell, the last... sulking.

...

Zhou Yan’s eyes reddened a bit, but he quickly restrained these emotions.

He must take on Yanyan’s responsibility, be strong in front of family and friends, maintain his integrity, and be responsible.

And even, make sure no one knew of the grief in his heart.

Long Xianyin and Qian Xi watched Zhou Yan silently, his eyes were red but his emotions were calm.

But both were still quite worried about Zhou Yan.

"Xianyin, Qian Xi, Sisi, and Qing Wan, after you will go to the Eternal Elf Race on Ziwei Star to cultivate."

"Hou Chen, Liu Haoxin, as well as Jiang Yaoshi, Qian Yao, and others, you will temporarily follow me."

"The reason I split you up is not to have you miss each other, but in the Eternal Life Tribes, even the appearance of Xianyin and others might not protect them with their abilities."

"In the Eternal Life Domain, there is no right or wrong, only the rule of strength."

"Where there are no rules, strength is the biggest rule."

"With your talents comparable to those of extraordinary women like the Elf Goddess, there is currently no foundation to stand on in such a place."

"I have some connections with the Elf Clan, and I will speak to them then."

"Do not refuse, I will never forget you. While you are practicing diligently, I too will be. Once I have the strength to guard a region, I will bring you back."

Zhou Yan had already laid out the plans for what was to come.

Within Fu Xi’s words, Zhou Yan came to understand the situation in the Immortal Domain.

And these arrangements were something Fu Xi never mentioned, but Zhou Yan had already considered this.

He was beginning to become a leader, to have a certain level of leadership skills and courage, and understand when to do what.

These arrangements were not refused by Long Xianyin and others, and they all highly agreed with Zhou Yan’s approach.

However, there was noticeable reluctance in the eyes of the two women.

Zhou Yan did not take Qian Xi yet, so Qian Xi remained pure, but Zhou Yan had already thought about taking Qian Xi’s innocence before leaving.

This is an outcome a woman hopes for, to follow him Zhou Yan for a lifetime.

Similarly, in the Eternal Life Domain, some things no longer needed to be suppressed.

Like Gu Xi, like Mu Qingyan, like many other women, they all left regrets.
