Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1384 - 125: Purple Mountain Heavenly Mansion

Chapter 1384: Chapter 125: Purple Mountain Heavenly Mansion

Jiang Xinli did this for the sect, so how could Jiang Caiyun say Jiang Xinli’s methods are dishonorable?

Moreover, it is indeed necessary to understand the origins of Zhou Yan. After all, even Jiang Caiyun cannot see through Zhou Yan, and many things are somewhat strange and inexplicable, which inevitably makes her harbor a bit of suspicion.

"Sect Master, rest assured, this matter won’t trouble you, and it won’t harm Zhou Yan. Although there are dangers in the Heavenly Mansion, once I enter, I will find him and secretly guard and observe him well."

Jiang Xinli comforted Jiang Caiyun.

Afterward, Jiang Xinli carefully learned about the incident where Zhou Yan helped Lin Xuefei.

After hearing this matter, Jiang Xinli’s gaze brightened even more, while Jiang Hongyi and Jiang Hen merely thought Jiang Xinli had discerned some crucial information but did not ask for reasons.

After all, the hierarchy exists between them; even if Jiang Xinli doesn’t speak, Jiang Hongyi and Jiang Hen, despite having doubts in their hearts, would quietly keep them to themselves.

Next, the group discussed for a moment more, and then Jiang Hongyi turned into a stream of light and swiftly departed.

At the same moment, Zhou Yan, who was watching the mountainous scenery with Lin Xuefei and breathing in the rich Oriin Energy, also noticed something unusual.

In fact, at the instant when someone performed the Returning Light Origin technique, a scene of Jiang Hongyi deducing him immediately appeared in Zhou Yan’s glabella.

In the scene within his glabella, there was no corresponding person or form, just a simulated Primordial Energy.

It didn’t even include things like the Eternal Spirit, it was just a shape.

But through this shape, Zhou Yan observed his glabella, thus sensing everything Jiang Hongyi and others said.

This kind of peering was not Zhou Yan peering at Jiang Hongyi but peering into everything within his glabella’s Thunderflame Breaking Path Mountain. Hence, even strong figures like Jiang Caiyun, Jiang Hongyi, and Jiang Xinli did not notice the slightest bit.

And this was a feeling intrinsic to Zhou Yan himself.

This is the terrifying aspect of the King’s Inheritance in the King Realm.

It truly means not being schemed against from behind.

Previously, before this ability manifested, it was just a fleeting feeling, much like when Qian Luoshui schemed against him within the fish eye.

At that time, Zhou Yan actually sensed it but chose to refuse.

Later, he realized how wrong it was to reject back then, as afterward, Qian Luoshui trapped and even severed his lifeline...

This series of misfortunes is enough to etch deeply in Zhou Yan’s memory.

But if not for that incident, not for being suppressed, how would Zhou Yan know just how pitiful a woman Qian Luoshui truly was?

It was precisely this act of suppression that did not cultivate hatred within Zhou Yan towards Qian Luoshui, but instead, it grew into love, love that seeped to his bones.

Sometimes, this love comes just so suddenly, so directly, especially that single tear...

Zhou Yan took a deep breath, and after Jiang Hongyi and others ended their conversation, Zhou Yan deeply recalled a person, a woman with a profound scheme—Jiang Xinli.

This is certainly not an ordinary woman. Zhou Yan even vaguely felt that the previous unease and crisis genuinely stemmed from this woman.

Zhou Yan did not know why he felt such an intense fear, but the feeling of lurking tigers and wolves was exceptionally strong.

"So, the peril originates from this woman. It seems, in the Heavenly Mansion, I am bound to face a great catastrophe. But I must definitely enter the Heavenly Mansion once; the King’s Inheritance, which may be just a chance for others, could be a grand creation for me."

"I need to grow rapidly in a short time, and the time will not be much, so I must strive with all my might to become strong."

Zhou Yan pondered in his heart, even to the extent that he’d forgotten Lin Xuefei, who was by his side.

It wasn’t until Lin Xuefei shook his arm several times that Zhou Yan was taken aback and snapped back to his senses.

This kind of contemplation had gone too deep; it was an extremely peculiar state. Usually, Zhou Yan would not think so deeply as to forget defending himself, but Zhou Yan immediately realized this was a characteristic nearly similar between Lin Xuefei and Mo Yuyao—being around them felt especially serene and comfortable, making one harmonious and at ease in mind and body.

"Zhou Yan, look, that distant Purple Mountain is the Ziwei Heavenly Mansion. It looks just like a Purple Mountain, but in fact, even though it seems to be there, without a method, it is impossible to enter."

Lin Xuefei looked at the distant Purple Mountain and spoke lightly.

Following Lin Xuefei’s indication, Zhou Yan looked towards the distance.

Zhou Yan had actually seen the Purple Mountain before and felt a special kind of closeness to it. Just that, at the time, Zhou Yan was thinking about other matters, so he didn’t delve into this aspect.

Now hearing Lin Xuefei’s introduction, Zhou Yan focused his full attention on that Purple Mountain.

The Purple Mountain seemed to rise thousands of meters, standing in the midst of heaven and earth, resembling a composed Grandmaster quietly sitting there.

Zhou Yan gazed at the Purple Mountain, and as he looked from afar, he felt a surge of indescribable purple qi flowing through him, as if it complemented the Purple Mountain.

However, as this feeling emerged, as soon as Zhou Yan’s mind shifted, the sensation vanished, seeming like an illusion before, and now awake, it was just a mere feeling.

But, is it really the case?

Zhou Yan pondered, this purple aura was more like the Soul Path Vast Qi that Zhou Yan had initially come to understand.

It was precisely because of the Soul Path Vast Qi that Zhou Yan comprehended Tai Chu’s Soul Killing, which led to the later Killing Spirit Divine Dao.

It is very apparent that some abilities, regardless of whether they are in an incomplete state or a complete state, can be traced back to their Origin in Heaven and Earth.

Just like Dao Sheng Yi, when it reaches its peak, many Daos can merge into one.

Everything in the universe transforms into Dao through its body, and ultimately, Dao transforms into the True Self, forming Unity.

This is the essence of Dao.

Growing from Chaos to a starry sky of Origin Life, and eventually into a final Origin, all these reveal a truth - the roots of all things are the same, the Origins are similar, so the familiarity feeling is precisely a familiarity with the Origin, not closeness.

Zhou Yan encountered this many times, but always felt it was something he experienced unknowingly, thus engendering a feeling of familiarity.

In fact, what was experienced was only the same Origin, and the unique Dao derived from the same Origin varies and is not completely identical.

This is much like a pure Emperor Pattern. A pure Emperor Pattern isn’t hard to grasp; once one has fully mastered the Tai Chu Rune, it’s easy to grasp a pure Emperor Pattern, but no lifeform’s Emperor Pattern is completely identical because every being knows that only what aligns with oneself is the best.

The Tao is a foundation, a framework, the most fitting framework for the Heavenly Dao, and is akin to a framework pleasing in all directions, making friends everywhere.

If one adopts and uses this framework, naturally it won’t be bad, but what about its compatibility with oneself?

This is the true issue at hand.

This is the true reason for Harmonization - fundamentally, it still lies in the Origin.

Within the Purple Mountain, there is a Purple Qi Origin; this Purple Qi Origin must be the true Origin of the Soul Path Vast Qi.

If it corresponds to King Energy or an inheritance, Zhou Yan then understands what he needs to obtain if he enters it.

That is to say, as long as the deep essence of Vast Qi’s Origin can be comprehended, it will have incalculable effects on the King Realm Thunderflame Breaking Dao Mountain’s growth.

Zhou Yan gazed at the Purple Mountain, with his own analysis and answer formed in his heart.

And this analysis and answer took only a fleeting moment to emerge, so he didn’t appear dazed but rather quite free.

"Zhou Yan, why do you think this Purple Mountain is so majestic and mysterious? Master says that familiar places won’t hold scenery, meaning that once familiarized, many things just seem as they are, without uniqueness or attraction.

But each time I see the Purple Mountain, I feel like I’m seeing my father, feeling its enormity, power, beauty, and it brings joy," Lin Xuefei expressed her inner thoughts.

Upon hearing Lin Xuefei’s words, Zhou Yan also felt a bit surprised.

This doesn’t seem like something Lin Xuefei would say, as it’s simple yet imbued with Supreme Dao. But it certainly is something Lin Xuefei would say, as only those truly innocent and pure can hold reverence and beauty in their hearts for familiar places.

Actually, the beauty is not in the scenery but in the will and heart of beings.

With a beautiful heart, the seen scenery is beautiful.

With a desolate heart, no matter how good the scenery is, it’s still desolate and tragic.

Sometimes the environment is merely a manifestation of one’s Mental State.

Zhou Yan and Lin Xuefei leaned silently together, quietly watching the mists rise from the Purple Mountain, temporarily forgetting all their worries.

And time slipped away so gently.

Three days later, Zhou Yan, immersed in cultivation and recovery, received news passed on by Jiang Hen—the Ziwei Heavenly Mansion was finally about to open.

Originally, the opening date was far ahead, but because of Zhou Yan, this opening time was brought forward.

Disciples from the Ziwei Sect headed to the Purple Mountain, apart from seven or eight males with feminine features, the rest were all women.

Moreover, every woman was quite stunning and charming, with an elegant charm that was unforgettable at first sight.

When Zhou Yan reached the foot of the Purple Mountain, the surroundings were filled with beautiful chatter, extremely lovely and melodious.

The colorful skirts and the fragrant aroma mingling together, set against the Purple Mountain, made Zhou Yan stare in awe at first sight.

Truly, when these beautiful ladies coexist with the mountains and waters, it indeed forms an exquisite landscape.

Zhou Yan was momentarily dazed but quickly came back to his senses.

This demeanor made Sect Master Jiang Caiyun, beside him, quite appreciative, as her face showed much satisfaction.

However, amidst the satisfaction, she also felt a bit guilty—after all, secretly deriving and probing Zhou Yan’s privacy was inherently disgraceful, and as an Eternal Life Being with arrogance and pride in her blood, such methods seemed even more disgraceful.
