183: Chapter 080: Ni Chang Fairy, Heavenly Dao Cycle
Zhou Yan walked along the path, listening to the news spread by these people.
Although so stories were shocking, the ones about him, Zhou Yan, were mostly true, eight or nine tis out of ten.
If he deduced correctly, the dramatic changes that occurred in Huangquan were also true.
For this reason, Zhou Yan knew that Carefree Main City would inevitably beco more chaotic.
As Zhou Yan pondered these thoughts, he unwittingly arrived at the doorstep of the Zhou Family.
Then, instead of taking the main entrance, he casually crossed through the side door.
As soon as he entered, Zhou Qian imdiately ca out to greet him.
Without needing to exchange words, they went directly to the family’s Secret Land.
Yet, this scene did not attract anyone’s attention.
…
Zhou Qian, with hands clasped behind his back, walked through the Secret Land towards an Array.
“This place is a newly developed Ancient Array by the Zhou Family, a special locale.
Here, when the Zhou Family faces the crisis of annihilation, it serves as a safe rear guard.
Unless it’s a Supre Strong undying man at the Sword Ancestor Realm, the sanctuary cannot be breached.”
Ahead, Zhou Qian didn’t look back but shared these details with Zhou Yan.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan’s eyes shimred with a trace of astonishnt, and he then mused, “Has the Zhou Family truly brought forth an Ancestor?”
Zhou Qian did not answer but only led Zhou Yan into the center of the Ancient Array.
A ripple flashed through the Ancient Array.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan and Zhou Qian appeared in a Cave Heaven Blessed Land.
Here, the atmosphere between Heaven and Earth was filled with the strong aura of Sword Intent.
Breathing in even a single breath, Zhou Yan felt his Sword Intent refined slightly.
This was a fearso place; a single day’s cultivation here could surpass over a month of arduous cultivation outside.
If so geniuses were to train here, Zhou Yan doubted that despite his nurous opportunities, he could match them!
And the Zhou Family was just a small family.
So, what about the truly large families?
Would they not have places like this?
The edges of this world seed to be unveiled at this mont.
From this unique environnt, Zhou Yan glimpsed the terrifying sequence of Great Powers behind it.
“Don’t worry, places like this are not widespread.
My Zhou Family can add the ‘Great’ prefix because in our ancestors there erged a peerless strongman.
Though now in decline, the foundation that the Zhou Family possesses is sothing few families, even the mighty ones like Cang Yan Mansion, can match.”
An elderly, trembling voice conveyed these words, ancient and desolate, striking at one’s heart, shaking the soul.
Zhou Yan looked up upon hearing this and saw an old man, decrepit and frail, shuffling forward.
His steps were small, as if he could barely stand stable, his body lean and frail like it was already decaying.
His skin and bones were tightly stuck together, and if not for the faint pulse of vitality within him, Zhou Yan might have suspected him of being a skeleton.
Yet, the muddy eyes of the old man seed to conceal ancient Divine spirits, as if with one movent, he could pierce through Heaven and Earth.
Seeing this person, even without a murderous intent towards him, Zhou Yan felt a chill throughout his body, his whole being uncomfortable.
It seed that standing here, he already could not control himself.
This was an old man far more terrifying than Li Wuxian or Jia Yongheng.
“Yes.”
Zhou Yan’s forehead was already sweating, yet he respectfully responded with a single word.
The old man nodded and said, “The Emperor Qi Sword Body, condensing the Sword Soul, is not impossible.”
As soon as the old man spoke, Zhou Yan’s eyes suddenly brightened.
He no longer held any fear, his gaze fixed directly on the old man’s face.
“In my age, there was an Emperor Qi Sword Body of great accomplishnt, who condensed the Twelve Sword Souls.
Unfortunately, because of love, he fell into the enemy’s sche.
So, he perished.
And the woman he loved, she genuinely had feelings, but it’s a pity…
The Emperor Qi Sword Body ultimately died.
Thus, the woman gouged out her own eyes, cut off her own arms.
But rumors say she didn’t die, she’s waiting for the next Emperor Qi Sword Body to appear, to help him fully condense the Sword Soul, and then she will rest!”
“What!”
Zhou Yan was instantly shaken, and the image of a lonely woman playing the flute erged in his mind.
Without eyes, her hollow sockets were incredibly desolate and lonely.
And that mournful flute sound once drove countless Cultivators mad.
“It seems you have truly developed a sensing power.
In this way, you are qualified to go to the depths of the Snow Domain and seek the ‘Ni Chang Fairy’.”
The old man sighed, seemingly carrying too many vicissitudes in his heart.
That sigh seed to express all the desolation and helplessness of the world.
“Ancestor…”
Zhou Qian’s lips moved slightly, struggling to call out a word.
“Oh, you stay here and cultivate arduously, guarding this family.
Turbulent tis are approaching, and I am about to transform.
I don’t know if I can still protect this family.”
The old man spoke gently, each sentence seemingly a struggle.
“Ancestor, I will definitely find the life-extending Spiritual dicine for you,”
Zhou Qian said resolutely.
“You should not go out again, those Spiritual dicines are of no use to .
The Zhou Family has seen several geniuses of extraordinary talent erge this ti, and it is now a ti when stability is needed at the rear, you cannot retreat…”
The old man spoke, his gaze falling on Zhou Yan.
“Ni Chang Fairy, originally nad ‘Chang’e’, ca from another Star Domain, drawn to the Snow Domain by a Supre Strongman using a Void-breaking Spiritual dicine because of her beauty and talent that even the heavens envied.
After arriving in the Snow Domain, due to her amazing talent, she was carefully nurtured by that Supre Strongman and beca the first Holy Daughter, then later changed her na to ‘Ni Chang Fairy’.
Afterward, she went on to seduce that Great Success Emperor Qi Sword Body.
Knowing she was rely using him, the Emperor Qi Sword Body still fell hopelessly in love with her, choosing her over the world.
Later, when the Supre Strongman’s plans failed, Ni Chang Fairy faced a great crisis and the Emperor Qi Sword Body perished in that battle.
In that battle, the Emperor Qi Sword Body slaughtered a million talents from beyond the domains, shocking millions of Star Domains with one sword strike.
The Supre Strongman also died, but Ni Chang Fairy ultimately survived.
Nevertheless, she had lost her will to live because the Emperor Qi Sword Body was gone.
She once thought it was deception, a false love, but only after the Emperor Qi Sword Body’s death did she realize it was true love.
True love had died.
The most painful thing in the world is this.
In total despair, her Soul shattered, she destroyed herself, living in endless regret and pain.
Eventually, she disappeared.
Yet she still left descendants.
The lineage of the Holy Daughter, they are her descendants.”
The old man’s gaze, as if reliving that very scene, beca infinitely profound.
Inside it, as if a Starry Sky, hidden deep in the Universe.
Zhou Yan silently took in this news, which was actually a great shock to him.
Because the woman who played the flute seed to co from his Master’s world—Earth.
And on Earth, there was an old legend, that of Chang’e.
Cloudy curtains of mica screen the deep candle shadows, as the long river gradually falls and the morning stars sink.
Chang’e should regret stealing the Spiritual dicine, thoughts of the azure sky and sea fill her night after night.
This poem from that world widely circulated, summarizing the events.
But the specifics, were already buried in history.
Zhou Yan felt that Chang’e must indeed be the one from his Master’s world, but such a thought seed sowhat far-fetched.
And even if it were, what then?
Zhou Yan felt a pang of lancholy and looked at the old man, now with even more genuine respect in his eyes.
No matter what the truth was, this old man, knowing such an era, was a figure resembling an ancient relic; such figures were worthy of respect in themselves.
“Zhou Yan, in telling you this, I just wanted to say that this is the way of Heaven.
The Heavenly Dao is unpredictable.”
“You must be wondering why I know these things, because my great-grandfather, with a single thought, beca a demon; he was the Supre Strongman who ensnared the Emperor Qi Sword Body!”
“This is fated enmity, a destined calamity.
It has co to you, and now it depends on your creation.”
“If you get through it, you will beco the second Emperor Qi Sword Body.
If not, you have only death as a path.”
“The only thing I can do to help you is to take good care of your father.”
…
The old man spoke each word, then silently turned around and walked unsteadily towards the front.
A ripple appeared in the Void, like a water ripple.
The old man stepped into it and disappeared, as if he had never been there.
Zhou Yan watched this scene, sowhat lost in thought.
Then, he sighed and ca back to his senses, seeing that Zhou Qian was also looking over at the sa ti.
eting Zhou Yan’s gaze, Zhou Qian gave a wry smile, patted Zhou Yan on the shoulder, and said, “Brother Zhou Yan, take care.”
“Yes, the clan, I’m counting on you.”
“I will.
The Great Zhou Family is currently weak, and lacks good Magic Treasures and Spiritual Artifacts.
Moreover, although there are two quite powerful items, if you carry them and encounter Ni Chang Fairy, they might directly cost you your life.
So…
the Great Zhou Family can’t offer you any help anymore.”
Zhou Qian sighed.
“I understand, this is probably the cycle of the Heavenly Dao.”
Zhou Yan sighed lightly, not saying much, and also stepped towards the other side of the Ancient Array.
There, lay a path leading to distant places, away from the Great Zhou Family and undetectable by others.
This path, Zhou Yan didn’t need Zhou Qian to point out, he had already grasped it; after all, he was not unfamiliar with Arrays.
But the formation of the Emperor Qi Sword Body and the Xingyi Twelve Forms are related, and actually have nothing to do with the so-called unpredictability of the Heavenly Dao.
If not for the integration of his Soul with part of his Master’s ability, he could not have ford the Emperor Qi Sword Body.
So for this trip to the Snow Domain, Zhou Yan had a belief that others could not comprehend.
He believed that things would definitely not be as bad as they thought.
