Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 166 - 063 Sword Spirit Shape Understanding!
Chapter 166: Chapter 063 Sword Spirit Shape Understanding!
With Pan Yuming’s explanation, Zhou Yan finally understood that mutated Sword Spirits also had many intricacies.
The growth ability of a Sword Spirit was the foundation for a Sword Soul.
"A Sword harbors a Spirit and a Soul, nurturing Sword Spirits, Sword Souls, and Sword Essences, much like life’s nurturance and growth."
Suddenly, combining his own situation, Zhou Yan had an epiphany.
He originally thought that this was just his unique transformation, no different from the Qi Sea Pillar and Qi Jie, but now, through Pan Yuming’s words, Zhou Yan realized that others experienced the same, yet for them, even achieving a mutated Sword Spirit was incredibly difficult.
For him, however, it was relatively easy.
With the essence blood of a million ancient Demon Beasts refined within his body, and coupled with the energy from ancient Sword Intent Crystal Stones and Purple Flame Lotus Seeds, Zhou Yan felt that even if Ji TaiXu exhibited a mutation, it couldn’t compare to his Xingyi Sword Spirit.
This was an inexplicable belief, but Zhou Yan believed it to be the most real situation.
This transformation gave Zhou Yan an inexplicable, powerful confidence in himself.
"Young master, now that you have a mutated Sword Spirit, you’re at least close to becoming a wielder of Dual Sword Souls, Emperor Qi Sword Body, Dual Sword Souls—good heavens! This is...it’s..."
Pan Yuming’s voice was excited but suddenly cut off, his expression becoming somewhat stiff.
Because he thought of something very important.
"Pan Yuming, do you also know that it is said that Emperor Qi Sword Body doesn’t have Sword Souls?"
Zhou Yan returned from his contemplation, feeling Pan Yuming’s emotion, and his expression became slightly solemn, but he quickly spoke with ease.
"Young master, you are different. Others cannot, but you definitely, definitely can!"
Pan Yuming didn’t know where his conviction came from, but he believed that the outcome would be just that! Because from the beginning until now, his young master Zhou Yan had created many improbable miracles, so this time, this time...
Pan Yuming thought, recalling the words of the previous batch of powerhouses: "Emperor Qi Sword Body has no Sword Soul! But if one can condense a Sword Soul, then the Emperor Qi Sword Body is the Emperor Sword Soul. With one strike, the world will be shaken, which defies the Heaven and Earth Dao, so naturally, it cannot exist..."
For a moment, he became somewhat flustered.
"Emperor Qi Sword Body is not tolerated by the Heaven and Earth Dao because it’s too domineering.
But in life, when rigorously cultivating the Sword Dao, who isn’t on the path of ’Only I Am Supreme’? Thus, this is just a hurdle on the path I must walk! I need not be concerned, at that step, I will eventually be able to cross it!"
Zhou Yan murmured softly; no one heard, nor did anyone know his thoughts.
But his gaze restored some confidence to the very regretful Pan Yuming.
Pan Yuming felt it was unfair for Zhou Yan’s future, but seeing such confidence in Zhou Yan now, his deep worries, regret, and feelings of unfairness naturally calmed down.
"Young master, with your talent, there will certainly be no problems. Let’s first cultivate the upcoming realm well, step by step, the rest will not be a problem."
Pan Yuming comforted.
He didn’t know what else to say, but he knew that, in this era of nearly ten thousand years, it was almost unheard of for an Emperor Qi Sword Body to achieve a Sword Soul.
Emperor Qi Sword Body was invincible. Achieving a Sword Soul was a challenge.
In that ancient glorious age, there were Divine Medicines of Supreme Dao that allowed an Emperor Qi Sword Body to break the imprints of time and space and form a Sword Soul in the outer domains, shocking the world with one strike.
Now, the energy of Heaven and Earth was depleted, no longer as splendid as in the old times. Even though the Nine Origins Reincarnation was about to begin and the essence of Heaven and Earth started to revive, the Divine Medicines of old had long decayed with the years.
A significant reason the Emperor Qi Sword Body became an Emperor Qi Wasted Body was this.
Pan Yuming knew this, as part of his work with the Li Family involved intelligence.
But now, he only wished he knew less.
Pan Yuming’s emotions and thoughts naturally appeared in Zhou Yan’s senses.
Zhou Yan wasn’t intentionally prying, but due to realm suppression, bloodline suppression, and his own spiritual sensitivity, he was quite attuned to this type of emotion related to himself, causing almost everything Pan Yuming thought to fall within his sensing ability.
That was why Zhou Yan felt that the Emperor Qi Sword Body might indeed be very difficult.
However, considering his current realm, he truly felt no pressure. Emperor Qi Sword Body, Three Sword Souls, Seven Sword Essences—this was the path he needed to traverse.
Or perhaps, far surpassing Three Sword Souls!
Zhou Yan’s thoughts flowed, eventually focusing back on his Azure Dragon Sword Spirit.
This Sword Spirit, like a person, sat upright in the void of Zhou Yan’s brows, diligently aiding his cultivation.
In its normal state, it was a dragon, but in transformed state, it became a person, almost indistinguishable from Zhou Yan but exuding a Dragon Qi.
At this moment, it was like Zhou Yan, sitting above the Flame Lotus, like sitting on a Flame Lotus Platform, contemplating the indescribable Tao.
Zhou Yan didn’t even need to himself grasp the Xingyi Dragon Form of the Xingyi Swordsmanship; this Dragon-formed Sword Spirit was already comprehending it on its own.
And its comprehension was much faster than Zhou Yan’s own.
It was just a moment, but when Zhou Yan’s spiritual sense connected with the Azure Dragon Sword Spirit, he suddenly gained many insights. frёewebηovel.cѳm
That instant, he seemed to transform into the Azure Dragon Sword Spirit, using his own body to completely derive the full extent of the Xingyi Dragon Form Swordsmanship!
A moment of confusion flickered in his gaze, then abruptly, his eyes emitted two brilliant beams. That tremendously difficult Xingyi Dragon Form Swordsmanship was suddenly comprehended at that moment.
The Xingyi Dragon Form Swordsmanship was divided into five styles, respectively True·Canglong, True·Desolate Dragon, True·Yan Long, True·Killing Dragon, and True·Hidden Dragon Sword Skill.
In that instant, the previously barely touched True·Yan Long Sword Technique was completely and perfectly realized!
Not only that, the True·Killing Dragon Swordsmanship and True·Hidden Dragon Sword Skill had also reached the threshold of understanding.
In the past, grasping these would have required countless resources, but when left to the Xingyi Dragon-shaped Sword Spirit for comprehension, it swiftly reached this level!
Moreover, the True·Canglong Swordsmanship and True·Desolate Dragon Swordsmanship that Zhou Yan had previously comprehended himself had now become even more perfected.
Zhou Yan even spotted some tiny flaws, unnoticed despite countless practices before, that were directly perceived by the Dragon-shaped Sword Spirit, which also proposed corrections.
Suddenly receiving such inheritance-like guidance left Zhou Yan with a feeling of inexplicable shock and uncertainty.
He was not without experience and knowledge, but he knew that all of this was definitely unreasonable.
So, what was the reason?
Zhou Yan carefully sensed this space, with his spiritual sense reaching out as his body numbly and instinctively moved forward.
At this time, Pan Yuming, unaware of the situation, saw Zhou Yan looking somewhat disoriented and thought he was heartbroken because his Emperor Qi Sword Body could not condense a Sword Soul.
Therefore, not only was his heart in anguish and helplessness, he also felt a profound sense of regret.
...
In the vast expanse of heaven and earth, mysterious Dao rules flowed in patches.
This place felt more like a real world, unimaginably so.
In the void above, inexplicably, gray and white clouds would appear.
There were mysterious lights, the breath of life, as well as mountains, rivers, and lakes.
Except for not giving birth to life, this place was almost no different from a Life Planet.
However, this was Zhou Yan’s brow chakra Purple Flame Space, distinguished mostly by a cluster of Purple Flame blazing in the void.
Beneath the flame, a lotus seed had taken root, sprouting leaves like the six petals of a lotus flower.
Each leaf, just like a petal, made the central Purple Flame appear all the more mystical and holy.
In the flame, there was tranquility.
Above the flame, a humanoid Sword Spirit sat cross-legged, comprehending its own Dao.
Zhou Yan, sensing all this, suddenly opened his closed eyes. Within them, two terrifying Sword Intents appeared, awakening like an ancient divine being from the ancient times. In that moment, his walking-dead body became immensely terrifying.
"Ah—"
The sudden change shocked the unsuspecting Pan Yuming, his constitution overwhelmed, nearly causing him to spit blood!
He stared at Zhou Yan in horror, still not understanding what had happened!
At that moment, Zhou Yan’s face was extremely shocked, as though witnessing the most inconceivable event.
Then, he took a deep breath, trying hard to calm himself.
"Young master, what happened?" Pan Yuming asked with uncertain alarm.
"It’s nothing, just thought of something terrifying."
Zhou Yan responded casually, without further explanation.
Pan Yuming knew something must have occurred, but since Young Master Zhou Yan did not elaborate, he naturally could not say much and could only silently guard by Zhou Yan’s side.
At this time, Zhou Yan’s emotions were unsettled for a long time.
Because after careful sensing, he discovered something very terrifying.
In the Purple Flame Space, the lotus seed had sprouted and produced leaves like lotus flowers!
This event was not terrifying! What was terrifying was that the catalyst for this change was a finger!
A huge finger, previously seen indistinctly on an ancient altar, calling to him incessantly!
This finger seemed to belong to an immensely powerful being.
This finger, after the eruption of the Purple Flame, had flown in from beyond the heavens, piercing through a realm!
Yet, this finger was now in his brow chakra Purple Flame Void, and was also being burnt by the Purple Flame!
