Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1308 - 51: Origin of the Soul Sea

Zhou Yan nearly understood all the causes and consequences, and his mood remained restless for a long time.

It’s said that among cultivators, none are truly fools, but Zhou Yan had never fully believed this before.

Yet now, after learning a series of situations from Gu Xi and combining them with his own deductions and calculations, Zhou Yan realized that those setups were truly terrifying.

Terrifying to the extent that even life and death cannot transcend such arrangements.

Whether alive or dead, it’s all within that dreadful game.

Finally, he truly endured through it all, breaking free from such arrangements, truly becoming a strategist.

A strategist naturally faces many risks, and the opponent’s strength is extremely daunting, not to be underestimated.

Although Zhou Yan’s heart couldn’t calm for a long time, he still managed to calm down and gradually entered a state of tranquility.

This time, Zhou Yan meticulously organized all his states and sealed all the outcomes of his deductions and calculations in the depths of the Soul Sea.

Afterwards, Zhou Yan looked at Gu Xi and thoughtfully said, "Xi’er, your current Realm is still considered as your former Realm, so now, how should we respond to the rules?"

"Brother Zhou Yan, your Soul Sea feels like the Thunderflame Soul Sea of the Thunder Flame Breaking Path Mountain, so if that’s the case, this Soul Sea can isolate external rules, and I can live within your Soul Sea."

"Brother Zhou Yan, given my state, once I enter the outside world without the protection of the Twelve Magnetic Light Columns and such, I’m afraid it will easily expose us. I’m not afraid of exposure, but I fear that doing so will cause our predecessors’ laborious arrangements to ultimately fail."

Gu Xi pondered as she spoke.

"I’ve thought about this too, but haven’t you considered, Xi’er, since Soul Sea is not controlled by rules, advancing in the Sea of Suffering Realm is unlikely.

Once the Sea of Suffering Realm progresses, it will inevitably affect the Soul Sea, so even if the Soul Sea can temporarily block the Heavenly Mechanism, what about the future?"

Zhou Yan expressed his concerns.

Gu Xi also showed a serious expression and contemplative thoughts.

But Zhou Yan didn’t pause for long and continued, "Xi’er, regarding this situation, I do have some ideas, but this time, I plan to respect your opinion, Xi’er, and listen to you."

Zhou Yan spoke gently.

"Brother Zhou Yan, if you’ve made up your mind, Xi’er will trust you unconditionally, no matter what decision you make, Xi’er will not hesitate and will definitely listen to you."

Gu Xi expressed decisively at this moment.

Zhou Yan nodded and softly said, "I decide to reverse the cosmic laws and no longer follow the path of Condensing Immortal Soul Embryo."

Gu Xi shuddered, looking at Zhou Yan with some shock, but then she nodded in agreement, saying, "Brother Zhou Yan, do what you want, and if you need anything from me, Brother Zhou Yan, just tell me."

Gu Xi’s reaction was within Zhou Yan’s expectations; reversing the cosmic laws is not a simple matter.

In truth, it’s not different from courting death.

But since Zhou Yan said it, Gu Xi believed it.

Even if, because of reversing the cosmic laws, Zhou Yan dies, Gu Xi wouldn’t have any regrets.

This is an unspeakable steadfastness, like a spiritual connection, mutually recognizing each other’s decisions.

Perhaps, this is true love.

Because, in true love, there is no doubt, no hesitation.

Between true lovers, there is no misunderstanding, no doubt, no suspicion. If there is, it only indicates that the love isn’t deep enough.

At this moment, neither Gu Xi toward Zhou Yan nor Zhou Yan toward Gu Xi has any suspicion or doubt. Whether making decisions for themselves or each other, both directly agree and believe. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Perhaps these expressions appear cold and calm, but the depth of this affection has become immeasurable.

"Reversing cosmic laws carries great risks, but following orthodox rules and methods, we have no opportunities for rise."

"Based on previous deductions and calculations, coupled with my own insights, I believe we can succeed. Once successful, a new path of cultivation will begin, but there’s a risk—will it alarm the mantis, because after that, I will transcend the Sea of Suffering Realm, forming a new Realm."

"Whether the new Realm or cultivation system will suit this Ancestor Dragon Emperor Star remains uncertain."

"And if I fail, then Xi’er, I will choose self-destruction."

"Destroying myself will also bring you to destruction."

Zhou Yan laid out his plan.

"Brother Zhou Yan, follow your wishes, we can destroy together or live on together; either outcome is happiness."

"If Brother Zhou Yan is gone, for Xi’er, every day will be lived in pain."

Gu Xi spoke gently of these words.

These words also show Gu Xi’s intentions, a kind of carefree attitude towards the unknown future.

If we must face destruction, let us face it together.

If we continue living, let us live together.

Neither will abandon the other.

This time, it’s truly a journey through life and death, unwavering till the end.

"Alright, Xi’er."

Zhou Yan embraced Gu Xi tightly, then passionately kissed Gu Xi’s fragrant lips.

For a long time, a long time.

...

"The Sea of Suffering’s Realm of Nine and Five is akin to an initial Nirvana.

Sea of Suffering Nirvana."

"The Sea of Suffering is boundless; turning back is the shore."

"If the Sea of Suffering is a sea, then the sea is the place of life origin."

"Rules are will, Soul Body is sovereign."

"My soul, sovereign of the Soul Sea, sovereign of will, sovereign of myself!"

"Within me are endless seals, endless Emperor Patterns, within each endless cell lies endless wandering rules, the world within the cells and the starry sky system beyond the universe are almost identical."

"Within the starry sky is vitality, and my Soul Sea should also use the Life Origin power."

"Thus, with my blood, I ask the heavens."

"Soul Sea as Sea of Life, the realm nurturing the Soul Sea is the Life Inheritance place. With Soul Sea as chaos, let’s once again embark on the Creation of Heaven and Earth!"

Zhou Yan murmured to himself, then no longer refined his Soul Sea, instead using his own Soul Sea as an ocean, integrating his bloodline, all his cultivation, and Mystical Rules to form a unique transformation with the ocean.

Having experienced the fragmented cosmic rules of the Soul Burying Starfield, this gave Zhou Yan profound understanding of the rules’ Mystical Rules on time and space; while these rules might lack power externally, within his Soul Sea, their manifestation as sovereign is exceptional.

The realm of the Soul Sea was broken through by Zhou Yan, forming a true ocean with endless Soul Power and Bloodline Power.

Above the ocean, Zhou Yan’s cosmic laws descended, Thunder Array resounding, Zhou Yan’s Twelve Forms of Intent Soul Seal fully awakened, entering the Soul Sea for true fusion.
