327: Chapter 192 Void Ancient Scripture
A beam of white light flickered incessantly, and within monts, the outline of the light revealed a woman in white with a srizing charm.
Her snow-white hair draped over her shoulders, emanating a mysterious cascade-like aura.
Her pure white feathers clothing exuded a breathtakingly stunning quality.
Her skin was fair and tender, as if it would break at a touch, soft like creamy jellies.
“Sigh…
Sister Zi Chen, don’t be impulsive.
He is a Cultivator with a ‘Sword Soul’ fused within an ‘Emperor Qi Sword Body’.
You are not his match yet.
And…
he possesses the ‘Heavenly Dao Soul Stone’, the qualified initiator of the inheritance.”
“What?
Emperor Qi Sword Body?
He has even condensed a Sword Soul?
And he’s the inheritor of a Secret Land…”
Zi Chen glanced at Zhou Yan with a hint of surprise.
Seeing his still indifferent and calm deanor, with a lot of skepticism in his eyes, she eventually tempered her attitude after White Fox’s persuasion and a careful appraisal of Zhou Yan, sensing an inexplicable dangerous air about him.
“Zhou Yan, don’t be angry.
The reason she’s like this is because she’s been betrayed by a male Cultivator she was very close to, so she…”
“Sister Bai Ying.”
Zi Chen called out, interrupting what Bai Ying was saying.
Bai Ying gave her an apologetic look.
“It’s fine, let’s go.
Let’s see if we can access the inheritance.
Hopefully, it can be unlocked; I hope there’s a space Magic Treasure that can speed things up.”
Zhou Yan stated casually, making no attempt to hide his purpose.
Apart from the initial glance that filled him with astonishnt, Zhou Yan harbored no other feelings towards this woman.
Naturally, it was hard for any man not to feel admiration upon seeing a beautiful woman.
However, this woman’s presumptuous behavior ruined that feeling of admiration.
In terms of temperant and the like, this Zi Chen wasn’t bad, but Zhou Yan wasn’t soone who hadn’t seen won before; naturally, he wouldn’t accept the cold face this woman was showing him.
This woman nad ‘Zi Chen’ had a hint of purple in her eyes, which indeed indicated she was different in essence from himself, clearly not cut from the sa cloth.
No wonder Bai Ying had said she was not the woman he was searching for.
Zhou Yan’s words prompted Zi Chen to take a few more glances at him, filled with confusion and surprise, seemingly unable to believe that he would reveal his motives so directly without care.
But White Fox had no such thoughts; transford into a woman, she was tall and only half a head shorter than Zhou Yan.
She walked over to his side, saying softly, “He once had a Short Sword that could pierce through the Void and fly, with incredible speed.
If you can obtain the inheritance, and get that sword, you’ll be able to cross the Void like a Void Realm Practitioner over short distances.
If your Soul is strong enough, and you’re sensitive to spatial faults, you could even travel longer distances back and forth.”
“I understand.”
Zhou Yan nodded slightly in acknowledgnt.
…
A golden light screen displayed nurous ancient Runes.
When combined, these Runes exhibited many marvelous changes, resembling the imprint of the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao.
Zhou Yan, Bai Ying, and Zi Chen all stood here, gazing at the light screen.
Bai Ying had an expression of longing, her eyes tinged with sadness.
Zi Chen furrowed her brows lightly as she looked at the strange Runes she didn’t recognize, feeling so unease in her heart that led her to beco lost in thought.
Zhou Yan, on the other hand, was imdiately captivated upon seeing them.
These Runes were the sa as those that appeared after the Purple Fla burned the remnants of the ancient scripture.
However, these Runes conveyed a special ssage, not sothing related to inheritance.
Zhou Yan understood them.
Not only did he understand, but he could also draw and inscribe such Runes.
Thus, standing here while others were perplexed, Zhou Yan seed to see all the secrets laid bare, like a scholar encountering a treasured and esoteric book.
The writing on the light screen was a letter, in fact, written to soone who could understand these words.
“Heaven and Earth have their Fate.
Even if I left behind the Heavenly Dao Soul Stone, it is not guaranteed that my descendants would co here.”
“And if my descendants did co here, that doesn’t necessarily an they could understand all this.”
“So, let things take their course.
Fate arises and ends—no need to force it.
If soone truly understands this, then follow my instructions, and you will not have made this trip in vain.
However, you must do exactly as I say.”
“I won’t make it difficult for you, nor do you need to worry.
I have been dead a long ti, but I told Yingying I had only left.
Even if the Life Soul Token could be shattered, I claid it was to confuse the enemy and that she shouldn’t worry.
But in fact, I had fallen long ago, and the Residual Soul I left behind struggled to hold onto these ssages.”
“These inheritances cannot fall into the hands of those who do not understand ‘Ancient Scripture Runes’.
Hence, if you ultimately obtain the inheritance, do not teach it to anyone.”
“Only those who understand the ‘Ancient Scripture Runes’ have a similar or the sa Fate as , as these Runes are not sothing anyone can learn.”
…
“First, force out a breath of Origin Energy and inject it into the Runes.
Then, a black lotus seed will appear; consu it, and it will help purify your Soul and enable you to comprehend the way of Destruction.”
The light screen conveyed this ssage.
Zhou Yan weighed his options, his eyes shining brightly as he watched the light screen.
He drew out a strand of Origin Power at his whim and injected it into the light screen.
After a mont of stillness, the light screen suddenly exploded with a blinding light.
This light naturally woke both Bai Ying and Zi Chen from their shock, as they gazed at Zhou Yan incredulously, struggled to believe that he could indeed provoke such a change in the inheritance.
Zhou Yan stood motionless, but a pitch-black lotus seed materialized out of the Void.
Then the lotus seed turned into a wisp of shadow, flying straight towards Zhou Yan’s hand.
“Whoosh—”
The lotus seeds were grasped in Zhou Yan’s hand.
“Now, you can consu it, ditate and cultivate, and cleanse the soul.”
The light screen displayed another rune ssage.
A flicker of unusual color passed through Zhou Yan’s eyes, but he did not reveal it, nor did he say anything to Bai Ying.
Instead, he directly swallowed the lotus seed, using energy for derivation, purifying the soul.
A mont later, Zhou Yan felt a cloud of black qi spreading throughout his body, dissipating into the void like dust.
“Now, with three drops of essence blood, you can open the rune channel and enter the secret land to obtain the second inheritance—Thunder Fla Soul Liquid.”
“Thunder Fla Soul Liquid is extrely precious, the ultimate supre treasure of Thunder Fla Breaking Path Mountain, capable of breaking all seals, and allowing a cultivator with only a wisp of a soul to return to their peak.”
“Now, you need to use your essence blood to activate the two polar positions of runes.”
The light screen transmitted this information as well.
Zhou Yan continued to follow instructions, his deanor exceedingly calm, his thoughts inscrutable to all.
…
Purple Fla Void.
Part of his soul consciousness converged here, deriving Zhou Yan’s true form.
Zhou Yan looked at the sky, indeed, the vast amount of Thunderfla Soul Crystal that he had forced out from his glabella was gone.
Nor could the Purple Fla Lotus be seen within the void.
What was true and what was false could, in reality, now be clearly distinguished.
After all, the secrets of the Purple Fla Void and the eyes within the Soul Sea may not necessarily be penetrable.
Zhou Yan arrived where the Purple Fla Lotus once grew within the Purple Fla Void.
He stood in this isolated space, looking at where the Purple Fla Lotus used to be, murmuring to himself, “Yanyan, Father King just witnessed a glimpse of the true energy of the ‘Ancient Scripture’ and thus fell into a ‘trap’ set by a powerful being.
However, for now, I, your Father King, can still manage to maneuver.
The enlightennt of those runes that I had not yet had the ti to thoroughly comprehend, now, there seems to be no ti left.”
“But I can confirm that it is an extraordinary Ancient Scripture.
If Purple Fla were still here, I could have helped myself, and even turned the tables, sending the ancient text into the midst of Purple Fla to burn, unraveling the genuinely imnse secrets it holds.”
“The master of White Fox was murdered, and worse still, the murderers posed as ‘him’ to set up ‘his’ inheritance, aiming to refine to death all the holders of the Heavenly Dao Soul Stone, those who receive ‘his’ inheritance.”
“This seems to be an attempt to refine flesh and blood Elixirs.”
“If my guess is correct, the one who killed the master of White Fox is still alive within that light screen.”
“This could be an ancient and powerful being.
Yanyan, I, your Father King, want to see you, and I need Purple Fla’s assistance.
Can you hear ?”
Zhou Yan murmured to himself, voicing his doubts about the light screen.
Outside, he would not even allow himself to ponder such thoughts.
But within the Purple Fla Void, Zhou Yan detailed his thoughts to Yanyan ticulously.
However, in this void, there was no sign of Purple Fla.
Zhou Yan waited a mont, yet Purple Fla’s presence did not appear, prompting him to sigh in resignation.
He knew that once Yanyan closed that door, it would be difficult to reopen it, and Yanyan might not be aware of everything happening to him.
Nevertheless, he still wished to see Yanyan.
Of course, everything he said was true.
Indeed, ever since laying eyes on the light screen, Zhou Yan had been harboring such thoughts, which was further affird with each ssage on the light screen.
Not even White Fox knew the truth of the matter, blinded by deception.
Perhaps many cultivators with a Heavenly Dao Soul Stone had died in this way, while White Fox might rely believe that those cultivators had failed their inheritance and were expelled from Thunder Fla Breaking Path Mountain.
As for runes…
It was simply because Zhou Yan excelled at runes that they appeared here.
Had it been other cultivators, what might have appeared were ssages related to their respective domains of expertise.
In summary, this so-called ‘Secret Land Inheritance’ was a trap, one that even White Fox was unaware of.
Zhou Yan turned and was ready to leave the Purple Fla Void, but unexpectedly, at that mont, a burst of Purple Fla appeared in the space behind him.
However, the ssage transmitted from within the Purple Fla was not from Yanyan but from another very peculiar will.
This will was vast, desolate, and sowhat solemn.
“This is the rune of the Void Ancient Scripture, indeed targeted at you.
However, this ti if you obtain the Void Ancient Scripture, ‘Yanyan’ will need to continue cultivating the ‘Void Ancient Scripture’, and the consequences are unpredictable.”
“Who are you?”
As Zhou Yan encountered this will, a chill settled in his heart.
The presence of an ‘outsider’ who could communicate with him was an unwelco revelation.
“Do not worry.
I have no self, but rely a will, which you can understand as a kind of rule, the rule of a special world.
I cannot interfere with much; consider it a reminder.
Because Yanyan’s path is bound to my will.
It’s like what you understand as the Unity of Heaven and Man.
Let’s put it this way…
if a powerful being were to attempt to slay you, Heaven would intervene appropriately; this is what ‘Heaven’s favor’ ans.”
“Now, you can understand that I am just a will that Heaven watches over Yanyan with.”
This will conveyed such a ssage.
Then, without waiting for Zhou Yan’s response, the will vanished.
Afterward, Purple Fla manifested behind Zhou Yan.
This ti it was not an illusion but a genuine appearance.
