122: Chapter 021 Discussion on Taiyin Talisman Scripture 122: Chapter 021 Discussion on Taiyin Talisman Scripture Unknown dangers?
In fact, this is just meant to scare people!
Because energy cannot be utilized in such a space, then according to the rules of Tao, it is unlikely that a special energy attack will exist in such a space!
In such a space, life energy is the greatest energy—even with some injuries, it’s clear that recovery in this space is extremely fast!
Then, this is the energy of “life,” and with such energy, the greatest danger is undoubtedly the “life energy.”
This space has accumulated a massive amount of life energy, but apart from flowers and grasses, no demon beast is visible, nor can one sense the life energy of other special life forms.
So, could it be that the energy of all life forms has been absorbed by this environment?
If so, then this is a terrifying danger!
This was one of the biggest possibilities that Zhou Yan had thought of that made him uneasy, but he was also prepared because once this happened, the powerful life energy of the lotus seeds could certainly make him endure the impact of this extreme life-ending energy better than others.
Moreover, his trump card was to let his soul enter the space between his eyebrows, making his body’s life energy disappear.
Thus, even if it was destruction, it would only be temporary desiccation of the physical body, and there would still be a chance to revive if there was an opportunity.
Zhou Yan was confident in facing the Ancient Array, and if there were fierce beasts, they, too, would be life forms, hence unable to utilize energy.
If they also couldn’t use energy, then with Zhou Yan’s physical strength combined with special Inner Strength, it wouldn’t be difficult to deal with such fierce beasts.
With these calculations, Zhou Yan was not afraid of the dangers here.
…
Walking along, the area was filled with floral fragrances, and various rare treasures appeared from time to time, seeming to present extremely precious medicinal materials every few steps.
Zhou Yan recognized only a small part of these, but he didn’t rashly pick any, as he felt that there might be a terrible crisis lurking.
He followed a trail of life energy and analyzed the structure of the Ancient Array, cautiously navigating through it.
The powerful Inner Strength was flowing through his twelve meridians.
While such energy could not compare with those in the Sword Spirit Realm, it was sufficient for self-preservation.
It was precisely because this Inner Strength energy was circulating within his body that Zhou Yan could make his six senses more acute and his reactions more agile.
“Follow me, be careful not to wander off or look around randomly,”
Zhou Yan said gravely.
“Yes, Young Master, I will,”
Li Qimeng replied gently.
Zhou Yan nodded and continued forward.
“Young Master, there is something I’ve decided to tell you completely,”
Li Qimeng hesitated slightly before speaking.
“Yes, speak freely.
If there’s anything unclear about cultivation, I can also help you think it through,”
Zhou Yan said with a smile.
The road was not safe.
Along the way, Zhou Yan seemed confident but was very cautious.
Moreover, with various judgments and analyses, the feeling of danger grew stronger as they moved forward.
From time to time, a chillingly cold wind blew out, like the energy of life pushed to the brink, transforming into a kind of “extreme breeds reversal” death energy, somewhat terrifying.
Thus, chatting to ease the tension was also a good method among those not ideal.
“Young Master, this time Ji Taichong actually intended to kill me and Jiang Yuning, the Holy Daughter.
Stripping the Extreme Cold Sword Body and the Taiyin Sword Body, he hoped to collect something extremely yin to refine the Sword Spirit.
If successful, he could surpass Ji TaiXu and even refine Ji TaiXu’s soul… Of course, this is just my judgment based on some events, not entirely certain, but once, I unintentionally learned of a secret, which is all part of his ‘Breaking Dao’ plan, and his ultimate goal is actually your mother, the young lady!
He obtained the legendary supreme ancient Taiyin Talisman Scripture’s fragment, isize it contains a terrifying ‘Breaking Dao’ method that can defy fate!”
“So Young Master, if you encounter him next time and have the capability, you must kill him and take that fragment of the Taiyin Talisman Scripture.
Moreover, this time, the family sent people here, and Feng Lingqing’s protector’s mission is to seek news of the Taiyin Talisman Scripture, but clearly, it is in the City of No Tears.
Originally, everyone headed to Ancient Tomb Mountain each time seeking the City of No Tears, but this time, the City of No Tears has shown itself, wouldn’t this alarm everyone?
Young Master, if there’s a chance, don’t worry about the family anymore.
Once you obtain the Taiyin Talisman Scripture, you must hide and cultivate well.
When you become powerful, then you can emerge as a significant figure in the world, who would then dare to disregard the Young Master?
By then, even the protector Feng Ling Bamboo would be full of regret!
…”
Li Qimeng spoke softly, revealing much more secrecy, which shocked Zhou Yan as he moved forward!
Clearly, he hadn’t expected the real reason to be this!
But as for the Taiyin Talisman Scripture of the City of No Tears, no one but Li Qimeng had spoken to him about it.
Why was that?
Was it unknown, or deliberately omitted?
Zhou Yan had no intention to doubt anyone, but upon suddenly hearing such news, he instinctively wanted to analyze it seriously.
“It’s not that I don’t believe your words, but is your source of information reliable?”
Zhou Yan asked gravely.
“This matter is true, the source of information is completely reliable, but as for how many know about the Taiyin Talisman Scripture, I am unaware since those who know this news would absolutely not speak of it; they’d only secretly keep it in their hearts.”
Li Qimeng hesitated slightly but still spoke the specific truth.
Zhou Yan understood that what Li Qimeng was saying was true, because his “kindness” toward Li Qimeng had thoroughly cemented her loyalty.
Thus, she no longer concealed the matter and spoke openly.
“Okay, I understand,” he said.
“This time, has the Holy Daughter Jiang Yuning also come here?”
Zhou Yan asked casually.
“Yes, young master, she has come out of seclusion, because this matter has caused a great stir, hasn’t it?
The legendary Nine Origin Reincarnation is about to start, and every genius must leave seclusion early to find their own Tao and grow through trials!”
Li Qimeng immediately responded.
“How is her cultivation now?” Zhou Yan inquired.
“With the elder powerhouses and the previous Holy Daughter of Bixue Palace emerging, this generation’s Holy Daughter has had her potential unlocked by the Holy Cold Ice, so she has already condensed the Extreme Cold Sword Soul.
It’s unknown whether she possesses Dual Sword Souls.
All that is known is that she has been under the successive reigns of sealing, and over these hundred years, she has undergone ‘reincarnation’ five times.
Each time spanning eighteen years, she has now broken through five times, regaining her normal memory and strength each time.
After revising her cultivation five times, her power is extremely terrifying!
Seemingly at the Sword Soul First Layer Heaven, her combat strength likely breaks three, which is steady enough to be comparable at least to the peak of Sword Spirit First Layer Heaven…”
Li Qimeng relayed all the information she knew to Zhou Yan.
“That’s how it is!”
Zhou Yan pondered thoughtfully, relieved by Ning’er’s growth and delighted by her power, but he also felt worried.
Because she now had all her complete memories, would she still remember him?
Zhou Yan found himself unable to determine this.
It wasn’t a matter of confidence, but a harsh reality.
Reality is often very cruel, just like those relatives who once, by despicable means, made one guilty and self-destructive.
In this world, there are many such cruel things.
Zhou Yan trusted in Ning’er’s feelings, but since she had recovered all memories of her five reincarnations due to the cultivation technique, whether she was still the same Ning’er, Zhou Yan did not know.
Thinking it over yet coming to no conclusion, he simply sighed lightly and said, “You really do know how to gather information, which indeed suits you for the intelligence industry.”
Zhou Yan said.
“Young master, the Taiyin Sword Body is actually extremely good at concealing.
It’s just that under the strong suppression of your life force from the Li Family, all my concealing abilities appear ineffective to you…
In the family, I also manage parts of the information work, it’s just because of privacy, no one else knows, including Feng Ling Bamboo the protector.
The only ones aware are now the young mistress and you, young master.”
Li Qimeng explained immediately.
“I see!”
Zhou Yan suddenly understood, and he was very comforted by Li Qimeng’s selfless trust.
“Then from now on, help young master manage this kind of information.
I will return to the Li Family later.
Then, once I’ve grown stronger, I intend to reorganize the Li Family.
Those who participated in persecuting my mother and wanted to use the opportunity to rise in power, they will have their reckoning.
And those loyal to me, I won’t be stingy in rewarding them generously.”
Zhou Yan said seriously.
“Young master, Qimeng is willing to follow young master and serve faithfully.”
Li Qimeng bowed deeply, uttering respectfully.
“Good, it’s nice that you are willing.
Now, this place is becoming more dangerous.
Stop getting distracted, just remember my steps closely, not straying or letting your mind wander, and keep absolutely vigilant!
I feel that we might have reached some dangerous territory.”
Zhou Yan said gravely.
All along their journey, it had been fine until they passed the Clear Spring waterfall, when the pressure began to mount.
Approaching the valley, Zhou Yan felt as if boundless terror was quietly spreading.
Thus, he no longer spoke, but devoted himself entirely to sensing the environment and detecting any impending crises.
Where he walked, streams of life energy, like flowing water, would transform the spiritual plants they saw a second ago.
After moving a few steps, or when the dense life energy waves spread, alterations might occur, or they might disappear or reappear tens of meters away.
Zhou Yan clearly knew that this was no illusion but reality; however, he could not feel any ancient array here.
Either every place here formed part of an ancient array, or this was a chaotic transmission array junction.
Between these two judgments, Zhou Yan leaned toward the latter, because this place was strange yet seemed a coherent whole!
