Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1638 - 146: Moved (Part 2)

Yes, Zhou Yan is sensing his own situation, that is, his own soul!

Because, after arriving here, the flesh is temporarily detached, meaning that Zhou Yan currently exists in the state of a soul!

The strength of Zhou Yan’s sole soul state requires no explanation.

Although his soul was weakened to a certain extent due to restoring the flesh.

Yet even weakened, Zhou Yan’s soul was once the soul of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, even if shrunk billions of times, the essence remains unchanged.

Therefore, here Zhou Yan is almost completely invincible.

In this soul space, Zhou Yan’s strength is undeniable.

Because he is the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, a weakened version of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable!

"I didn’t expect, some abilities I couldn’t manifest originally, can be displayed here. This is truly ironic."

Zhou Yan laughed at himself.

Originally, after a strand of soul power was absorbed by the flesh, the newly-born soul started from the basics, and although the quality of the soul didn’t decrease, its strength was not much different from an ordinary person’s soul.

But after entering this place, because the soul’s realm is similar to the Fifth Level of the Soul Condensation Realm, yet the quality remains like that of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerable, this results in Zhou Yan’s abilities here being at the Heavenly Reversal Sovereign level.

However, he realized these experiences only left him a bit sighing, without feeling anything particularly remarkable because of it.

Zhou Yan walked step by step on this Thirty-Three Heavens Road, as if seeing the flourishing side of the past Heavenly Road again.

Only, as he walked layer by layer, the prosperity began to decline, began to wither, began to fall.

It was a wilting, withering change, like the course of life.

During this process, regardless of any changes in the Heavenly Road, they posed no difficulty and made no impact on Zhou Yan.

He easily passed through the Thirty-Three layers of the Heavenly Road.

However, during this, Zhou Yan also grasped some understanding of the difficulty of the Thirty-Three layers of the Heavenly Road.

The last layer, its difficulty even rivaling that of the Immortal King Realm. It seems that besides him, Zhou Yan, there’s probably no one else who could pass it.

"No wonder it’s so difficult, it’s rather unfair to these younger ones. But, through such trials and hardships, they can grow stronger and more steady."

Zhou Yan murmured to himself.

Then, after leaving the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, Zhou Yan’s soul returned to his flesh, and he woke up directly.

"The Thirty-Three Heavens Road, nearly a real illusion, and equipped with unique intelligent derivation abilities, there’s really no worry anymore."

"So, we can start changing the Heavenly Mechanism Hall."

Zhou Yan contemplated, then directly left his Secondary Main Peak again, and went to the grand hall of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect engraved with ghostly runes.

Here, Zhou Yan directly began to perform the Heavenly Mechanism Skill, combined with his own Soul Energy, to clean the runes on the four sides of the pillars bit by bit.

This process is actually not difficult, but within the range of each level of these engravings, there are two unique small guardian arrays.

These, for Zhou Yan, are truly extremely simple.

Zhou Yan quickly cracked the seemingly complex small arrays, then like unraveling silk, he completed this scene cleanup rapidly.

Although many of these engravings are actually quite good, since he’s making changes, Zhou Yan doesn’t want anything discordant.

So, he erased them all, and started engraving anew.

While engraving, Zhou Yan used the Heavenly Mechanism Power to activate the Yellow Bell, transforming it into a jade Flying Sword.

This jade Flying Sword, resembling the flying sword like jade from the past in all aspects, is nearly identical.

Of course, this is the shape Zhou Yan altered according to that Flying Sword, not truly that light gear.

This is to facilitate better engraving, as Zhou Yan’s engravings were all completed with that jade Flying Sword.

Utilizing the Yellow Bell and some Heavenly Mechanism Soul Stones, the Heavenly Mechanism Power, and his own Soul Energy, Zhou Yan began to reorganize the rune arrangement and combination in this hall.

This process is inherently extremely complex, and ordinary cultivators wouldn’t understand.

But for Zhou Yan, it was just a bit troublesome, the trouble not in the runes themselves, but in forming an intelligent judgement via derivation. After all, it’s hard to implant chip-like things in the hall’s rune arrangement.

Ultimately, Zhou Yan could only connect the hall and the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, forming a unique interdependent link.

This way, the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, the rune hall of Heavenly Mechanism Sect, and the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s guarded place will form a unique complex environment, perfectly fitting together.

Three parts separate, yet overall interdependent, danger coexists.

Thus, after Zhou Yan managed everything, the jade Flying Sword in his hand immediately flickered rapidly, his hand moving like a butterfly flying through the void, leaving a series of afterimages.

This time, because of the previous changes and thoughts from the Thirty-Three Heavens Road, this time didn’t take long, just about over an hour.

Within such a short time, Zhou Yan managed to replace all the engravings in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s hall.

Thus, when all completed, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect suddenly became more ethereal!

Simultaneously, the Heavenly Mechanism Sect suddenly transformed from reality into an illusion-like state, as if completely vanished.

And the mountain range once occupied by the Heavenly Mechanism Sect changed into an ordinary little mountain.

Zhou Yan was surprised seeing this change, which was somewhat unexpected for him.

However, when Zhou Yan looked at this mountain range, his body suddenly shook — this ordinary little mountain, resembled the mountain outside the Ancient City of the Zhou Family in his memory remarkably!

Even this mountain and that mountain, completely overlapped at this moment.

That mountain had a simple name — Tianji Mountain!

That Tianji Mountain was once very close to the city where Gu Yan resided!

And below Tianji Mountain, Zhou Yan once encountered Jiang Yuning and Ping’er, afterward making a vow to venture to the Snow Domain to make a name.

Yet now, because of his changes, it seems... Tianji Mountain suddenly appeared.

And the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, from exposed externality, began to drift erratically, no longer stable!

Zhou Yan’s mind felt peculiarly strange.

If Tianji Mountain emerged because of this, then what about the Great Zhou Family?

Then will the Zhou Family appear with a Zhou Yan in the future?

Then is this era real or fake?

Then did Zhou Yan return to the past before he was even born?

Zhou Yan felt incredibly odd.

For a time, Zhou Yan felt an extreme complexity of thinking.

"A new era, I live in the time thirteen thousand four hundred years later."

"But thirteen thousand four hundred years later, this world has an identical Tianji Mountain."

"This Tianji Mountain, will in the future feature certain characters, certain changes. Will there be another situation with Jiang Yuning, Zhou Yan, Ping’er, Jiang Yushuang, Gu Xi?"

Zhou Yan pondered complexedly.

Has the future intersected with the past at some point?

Zhou Yan harbored many thoughts.

This situation, if encountered by ordinary people, they’d likely find nothing amiss.

But precisely because Zhou Yan’s realm is too strong, his abilities too defying, experience too rich, this situation ended up being considered most thoroughly by Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan collected his mind, his figure moved, instantly transforming into an afterimage, quickly leaving the Heavenly Mechanism Sect.

Afterward, Zhou Yan traveled far beyond the external boundaries of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, even leaving the protection of Tianji Mountain’s virtual array.

Once out of the virtual array, Zhou Yan couldn’t see any existence of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect anymore.

The Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as if disappeared completely!

Not only that, the originally endlessly majestic mountain area only had one brand new, extremely familiar mountain left — Tianji Mountain.

Tianji Mountain, it seems due to this, truly came into being.

"This, could this indeed be the original Tianji Mountain! How is this happening? What exactly has changed?"

Zhou Yan trembled all over.

Upon seeing this scene, he was genuinely moved.
