117: Chapter 017 Supreme Water Sword Intent of Soul Destruction 117: Chapter 017 Supreme Water Sword Intent of Soul Destruction Sword Qi stirred the void, causing boundless tremors.

Zhou Yan looked up at the distance, where the void seemed to display a kind of inexplicable chaos.

This was caused by the turbulence of an Ancient Sword Formation due to the conflict of cultivators afar.

Zhou Yan was familiar with this, and from this event, he could deduce that those people had been trapped by the Ancient Array.

That particular Ancient Array was an age-old Sword Formation, and it was difficult to escape from in a short period of time.

Other cultivators also lacked the ability to quickly arrive here, so Zhou Yan was not too worried, and he began refining artifacts.

Using Thunderflame Purple Fire to refine Spirit Armor, he then processed the Spirit Armor fragments of the Ji Family elder, heedless of the astonished Li Qimeng beside him, Zhou Yan focused on crafting the Spirit Armor.

This time, Zhou Yan still utilized the characteristics of the Spiritual Lotus Armor, crafting his own Spirit Armor, but this time’s Array, he augmented it with ancient runes from an Ancient Sword Formation, still protected by the Nine Forms he mastered.

The halo of the Spirit Armor flowed, vivid within Zhou Yan’s crafting as if it possessed life, truly magical.

Li Qimeng was immensely shocked, but Zhou Yan thoroughly enjoyed the process.

…

This time, Zhou Yan moved with ease, spending just under three hours, yet his gains were tremendous.

In such Enlightenment, despite the substantial drain on spirit from controlling the Purple Flame, Zhou Yan also felt significant overall progress.

Also, during the crafting of Spirit Armor, Zhou Yan felt a special Enlightenment towards the Tao.

Disregarding the enormous boost in sensing ability, his own capability for Enlightenment was extremely strong, and this time due to the insights during artifact refining, his impressions deepened.

He also possessed nearly all his master’s memories and knowledge, and now because of Sudden Enlightenment, they started merging together, feeling like a transformative shift from heaven to earth.

Even he felt his progress was immense.

This time using ancient runes, Zhou Yan also felt that the ancient inheritance information on the silk was finally entirely engraved into his mind, needing no more than a thought for those ancient characters to appear, and no longer requiring the silk itself.

Zhou Yan hesitated slightly, pondering briefly.

Considering his continuing array of doubts, he no longer hesitated, casting the silk directly into the flames of the Purple Flame Lotus Seed.

At his brow, suddenly, vast energy surged, the space at his brow suddenly tore open a large fissure!

Zhou Yan’s body trembled, instantly sensing the boundless and terrifying energy emerging, and at the same time, his opportunity for Enlightenment had directly arrived.

That golden silk, which originally required two more days to accumulate perfect Enlightenment, arrived ahead of schedule.

The golden silk burned continuously in the Purple Flames, with vast energy emerging, yet the gold silk did not lessen at all.

Zhou Yan willed it, his body still in place, already donned in his newly refined Combat Armor.

Then, he hesitated slightly, deploying a simple Nine Concealing Souls Sword Formation around them, hiding himself and Li Qimeng.

Then, looking solemnly at Li Qimeng, he said, “I just had an insight while refining.

I’ll take a moment for Enlightenment, please guard me.”

“Of course, young master, rest assured and proceed with your Enlightenment!”

Li Qimeng’s eyes instantly shone brilliantly, vibrant with excitement.

Indeed, the process of Zhou Yan’s artifact refining had already left her utterly astonished, her eyes wide in awe!

Now, Zhou Yan had yet another insight…

it was simply…

unbelievable!

She spoke softly, afraid to disturb Zhou Yan’s Enlightenment, but her heart was set, even if it meant her life or demise in Tao, she mustn’t let any mishap disturb Zhou Yan’s Enlightenment!

…

“This time’s doubts are in three aspects.

One, is the inexplicable idea of using Purple Flame to refine oneself into a Sword during artifact refining.

Even if not feasible, further tempering the body is possible!

Two, concerns the integration and control issues of this Purple Flame with the Nine Concealing Souls Sword Formation, if the Purple Flame breath could be integrated into the cultivation technique, its attack power could more than double!

Three, regards the Supreme Water Swordsmanship, which has merged too many elements, becoming overly intricate, influenced by the Sword Array, under the attack model of the Soul Sword and the Humanity Ant’s Light Sword technique, forming a Xingyi Swordsmanship pattern.

This is a fusion of taking strengths from various sword techniques, yet lacking my own Tao.

These Nine Forms…

and the Xingyi Swordsmanship, also have a huge discrepancy, thus necessitating a change in my Enlightenment approach.”

Zhou Yan’s heart held these three bearings, all of which were presently revealed, followed by, carrying such questions, his soul entered his brow’s Purple Flame Space.

A thousand cubic spaces of the void suddenly expanded to nearly ten thousand cubic spaces.

On the surface, this was only ten times larger, but the feeling of the dimensions increasing to over twenty meters was incomparable to just ten meters.

The earlier sense of being somewhat imprisoned suddenly disappeared.

Zhou Yan’s soul stood there, like a Grandmaster profound and immovable with limitless momentum and spiritual radiance.

“The Tao is ultimately simple, with one’s Tao as the core, integrating all benefits into the Sword Dao.

Like the murderous intent from my gaze, this ancient Sword Intent, can continue to be optimized…”

Zhou Yan instantly thought of the Supreme Water Swordsmanship, because each powerhouse has their own unique Tao, and not merely that of another.
