Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1310 - 53: Soul Sea Establishes Heaven and Earth
The origin of life, according to the levels of evolution, originates from the ocean.
And the Soul Sea condenses the Soul Embryo, transcending the shackles of the flesh, reaching the realm of immortality.
However, Zhou Yan altered this process, condensing the Sea of Life from the Soul Sea, and fusing the immortal rule fragments to form a unique evolutionary system.
In this process, he nurtured the ancient Randeng Buddha, and nurtured the mighty Heaven-Creating Pangu.
Despite Zhou Yan knowing that they are not the true Randeng Buddha, nor the true Pangu, the existence of these two True Selves within the Soul Sea allowed Zhou Yan to understand he is qualified to embark on the path of ’Saint Dao’.
The true inheritance of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas may very well be like this.
However, this situation within the Soul Sea is naturally obscured.
The Ancestor Dragon Main City can sense Zhou Yan’s existence, and assigns him a ranking sequence number, which also indicates that the rules of the Ancestor Dragon Main City can sense Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea.
Gu Xi disappeared, and Zhou Yan started to worry, but quickly he came to terms with it—within the Soul Sea, it is definitely not just one world, there must be another unique space existing.
With this thought, Zhou Yan carefully sensed, and indeed, within the Void connection of the two True Selves, an Emperor Pattern appeared, which only Zhou Yan could sense.
Within this Emperor Pattern, there is the ancient imprint phantom of the Twelve Magnetic Light Columns, forming a unique space like a Secret Realm.
In this space, Gu Xi is quietly sitting, waiting.
She was not worried about Zhou Yan, but like a wife waiting for her husband to return, so serene and peaceful.
When Zhou Yan’s soul sensed this space, Gu Xi had also sensed something, and looked towards the unknown Void.
It seemed like Gu Xi’s eyes were precisely gazing into Zhou Yan’s sensing eyes.
"Xi’er, the danger has passed, our attempt this time was successful. So afterwards, I will leave behind an Avatar, always accompanying you, while the external me will grow according to the basic rules."
Zhou Yan conveyed this message to Gu Xi.
Gu Xi then sent a very gentle gaze to Zhou Yan, making his heart even more at peace.
Afterwards, Zhou Yan did not hurry to venture into his Domain space; instead, he first found a place to sit alone, avoiding the bustling summoned ones, to comprehend everything he had experienced before.
This process did not take much time, but rather half an hour at most.
For Zhou Yan, his powerful computation ability still consumed half an hour to sort everything out, which in itself was quite a large amount of information.
However, once this information was organized, Zhou Yan had a deep understanding of his current state and knew his combat power was already comparable to an Immortal.
This point was already completely confirmed.
Within it, some rules related to Xingyi, merit, Heavenly Mechanism, Qi Fortune, and the inheritance soul power of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, Zhou Yan had temporarily gathered them, injecting them into the Randeng Buddha’s True Self.
Another part of the soul power, derived from the Emperor Blood and Pattern of Xuan Yuan and Pan Emperor and the derived soul power, Zhou Yan extracted and injected it into Pangu’s True Self.
In this way, Randeng and Pangu formed two immortal monuments-like existences, guarding Zhou Yan’s Soul Sea, activating Zhou Yan’s soul aura.
It felt like there suddenly were two Zhou Yans in the Soul Sea, able to perceive everything and their thoughts entirely interconnected.
But this was not all completed yet.
The remaining soul power, Zhou Yan extracted half of the complete soul power, allowing it to enter the space where Gu Xi was within the Soul Sea.
This half of the soul power was extremely pure, carrying vast rule power and Life Soul Aura, it was a part split from Zhou Yan’s self-cultivated soul power and bloodline power.
This part entered the space like a Yuan Ci Secret Realm where Gu Xi was, forming a young and handsome Zhou Yan, accompanying Gu Xi.
This Zhou Yan was also Zhou Yan, in the current situation of the two True Selves completed, this Zhou Yan was Zhou Yan, possessing profound emotion and nature, and externally as if divided into two, considered a Half True Self.
The function of this Half True Self was to accompany Gu Xi, cultivate together with her, pursue enlightenment together, live together, and be happy together.
As for the external Zhou Yan, although only half of himself remained for cultivation, this half soul condensed the pure Soul Sea, and the forty-five layers of the Realm could be extremely completely controlled.
This part, then, continued to cultivate the Soul Sea Realm of Eternal Life.
The Profound Meaning of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, with Randeng’s inheritance segmented, was sufficient to form a strong invincible True Self.
And the Pan Emperor Bloodline inheritance of Xingyi Emperor Blood also had the continuation of Pangu’s True Self, this too could form a strong invincible True Self.
Perhaps, once Zhou Yan’s own state is cultivated to the Ninety-nine layers of the Sea of Suffering Realm or even stronger state, entering the Eternal Life Realm, it could complete the separation and fusion of the three big Avatars, resembling cutting off the Three Corpses, achieving the King Saint.
This is the predetermined Tao, also a method Zhou Yan conceived to combine the Eternal Life Realm with the inheritance of Ten Thousand Immortals and Ten Thousand Buddhas, this path’s final difficulty is naturally great, but the difficulty is high, yet the direction is entirely correct and feasible.
If this path ultimately succeeds, once the realm of Immortal King is achieved, then even the Eternal Life Tribes, nor countless terrible conspiracies, could ever shake Zhou Yan’s everything.
That time, would be the moment of sovereignty over the fate of Heaven and Earth, the true moment of guarding everything.
This was the path Zhou Yan devised with the highest probability of success. If he relied solely on the powerful True Self without complete inheritance to forge ahead, the future path would become more difficult. Instead, by choosing a direction for growth for each True Self and dividing the roles, progress in various aspects would be incredibly comprehensive.
This equates to cultivating three different combat powers yet extremely heaven-defying True Selves.
If any anomaly occurs, it might not be worth the cost.
Yet Zhou Yan no longer shrinks or falters as he did in the past. He has chosen his path, and regardless of how bitter or difficult it becomes, he will resolutely move forward.
During this process, Zhou Yan fully understood the current world rules, so he would not let himself exceed the other Heavenly Heart Summoned ones too much. Thus, he divided half of his soul to stay beside Gu Xi, displaying a hint of modesty and protection, as well as a pursuit of personal happiness.
One move, with multiple gains.
Zhou Yan thoroughly explained this idea to Gu Xi in the Soul Sea Space, but Gu Xi wasn’t bothered at all by Zhou Yan’s distraction in performing this task; instead, she was moved by Zhou Yan’s diligence.
Within the Yuan Magnetic Land inside the Soul Sea Space, Zhou Yan taught Gu Xi the methods of Refining Essence to Qi and Refining Qi to God, helping Gu Xi escape the abnormality of the distorted realm under unfitting rules. Only this way can the shortcomings in cultivation be remedied.
Moreover, Gu Xi was very obedient, constantly cooperating with Zhou Yan in diligent cultivation and discussing insights in various aspects of cultivation along with Zhou Yan.
The two lived in the Yuan Magnetic, fondly affectionate and inseparably close, brimming with happiness.
Outside, another part of Zhou Yan’s soul power dominated his physical body. After adapting to the powerful changes in his body, Zhou Yan chose his domain, entered the space following the sequence number on the plaza, and teleported into his territory.
The moment Zhou Yan appeared in the domain, a large number of Heavenly Heart and Demon Heart beings surrounded him.
These Heavenly Heart men and women and Demon Heart fierce beasts had almost all reached the Sea of Suffering Realm forty-five levels, overflowing with battle intent and possessing formidable combat power.
These beings seemed to have formed a temporary alliance, and the moment the white light on Zhou Yan disappeared, they charged at him mercilessly, with no leniency in their actions. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
"Screech—"
The abilities exhibited at the forty-five levels of the Sea of Suffering Realm were incredibly heaven-defying. A single strike sent waves of energy surging skyward, and the energy rushed forward like a tidal wave.
Before the assault reached him, the hot or biting aura had already stung his face with pain.
Zhou Yan had foreseen it, and his reaction surpassed that of regular Heavenly and Demon Heart beings. Thus, at the instant he felt the sting of the wind against his face, he spat out a mouthful of soul energy.
This mouthful of soul energy rotated like a Purple Flame, showcasing a swirling trajectory that embodied the rise of Pure Qi and the fall of impure Qi, manifesting a Tai Chi prototype.
Spinning and ejecting the soul energy prototype, it suddenly transformed into a cloud sea of soul energy, enshrouding the surrounding Heavenly Heart and Demon Heart beings.
Then, dark brown lightning suddenly appeared in the cloud sea of soul energy.
"Screech—"
Lightning flashed, dark brown lightning suddenly emerged, followed by very miserable cries.
"Ah—"
"Ah ah—"
"Puff, puff, puff—"
...
The wails rose abruptly but vanished as if suddenly interrupted.
Zhou Yan then unleashed the Nirvana and Life and Death Secret Technique, sweeping through the cloud sea and soul energy, allowing his Soul Sea to accumulate further energy.
"Crunch—"
At this moment, Zhou Yan felt a slight tremor in his Soul Sea, directly stepping into the Sea of Suffering Realm forty-six levels.
The advancement of this realm seemed effortless.
However, Zhou Yan knew he had already reached the pinnacle of his previous realm, and now, after absorbing the soul power of nearly thirty Heavenly Heart and Demon Heart beings at the forty-five levels of the Sea of Suffering Realm, his realm finally transcended an extreme limit.
The breath Zhou Yan casually expelled was from the once-simple Thunder God Fire Sword Dao, though Zhou Yan merely deployed it with soul power, its destructive power was surprisingly formidable.
All Heavenly Heart and Demon Heart beings surrounding Zhou Yan perished almost between breaths, turning into powder, ashes dispersed, souls shattered.
This scene made all the Heavenly Heart and some Demon Heart beings who were ready to attack retreat to a far distance, their gazes uncertainly fixed on Zhou Yan.
"Impossible, how can someone ranked nearly last among a million be so powerful?"
"Is the difference between the summoned ones and us non-summoned ones truly this vast?"
"If this is so, how could we possibly seize the mastery of the domain from the summoned ones? Is this the Heavenly Dao urging us toward death?"
...
