You all prepare well too.
Tomorrow, I will share with you my understanding of the Sword Dao, hoping it can be of assistance to you.
This journey to the Ancient Tomb Mountain is fraught with dangers, but since the Family Head has mentioned that it is an excellent opportunity for training, you should grasp it well.”
Zhou Yan thought for a moment and felt it was necessary to lend them a hand.
After all, in the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, he had realized things he was confident these people would never understand in their lifetimes.
That comprehension of the white Sword Light was something impressive, which he wouldn’t speak of, but there was no harm in talking about the various Cultivation Techniques and insights he had seen in the Book Collection Pavilion.
As soon as he spoke, even Zhou Xian, Zhou Gucheng, and others were extremely excited!
Everyone now knew that Zhou Yan’s comprehension was incredibly terrifying!
The swordsmanship he created, with one strike, shocked the world!
Now he was going to explain the Sword Dao.
How could one not look forward to this?!
…
The next day, Zhou Yan’s courtyard was filled not only with Zhou Xian, Zhou Yuan, and others but also Zhou Qianqian.
Even Zhou Yan’s father, Zhou Wangchen, Zhou Ying’s father, Zhou Han, the Family Head Zhou Cangmu, and some important Elders had brought along the most talented third-generation disciples.
They all came humbly to listen to Zhou Yan’s discussion on swordsmanship.
He had originally planned to speak casually, but feeling that the Great Zhou Family was exhibiting more pretense than real strength, Zhou Yan finally did not hold back.
Apart from the Xingyi Swordsmanship, which he kept to himself, he even described his perception of that earth-shattering white light sword strike.
Of course, Zhou Yan did not detail what that strike specifically was.
He explained it as a ‘hypothetical’ concept.
“In my mind, this strike should encompass a Dao, an unspoken will, but it is not the Dao of arrogance, nor the Path of Invincibility.
So, this kind of swordsmanship, I merely hypothesize its existence, used by some powerful genius, with limitless might.”
Zhou Yan looked at the entire courtyard, seeing all the Zhou Family’s talented third-generation disciples and the older generation, quietly listening to his explanation of the Sword Dao, feeling an indescribable pride in his heart!
Now, he was Great Zhou Family’s truly number one person, the foremost genius, in both name and reality.
Under the ancient pine tree, surrounded by the clear spring, countless eyes were fixed on him.
As they imagined the splendor and magic of that one strike due to his description, many had their moments of sudden enlightenment.
At this moment, Li Shaqing and the already departed Feng Ling Bamboo had also inexplicably arrived and were silently standing in a corner of the courtyard, listening attentively to his words.
Zhou Yan noticed Feng Ling Bamboo still had her cold expression, as if someone owed her millions of Spirit Crystals.
But, she was clearly pondering Zhou Yan’s words thoughtfully.
“Brother Zhou Yan, what do you think should be the nature of this Sword Heart?” asked Zhou Qianqian, seemingly enlightened herself.
She waved her delicate, fair hand toward Zhou Yan and then sweetly posed the question.
She had a great relationship with Zhou Ying, and just like her, referred to Zhou Yan as brother.
Zhou Yan remembered Zhou Qianqian well, knowing her to be an absolute genius of the Zhou Family.
If it wasn’t for his own meteoric rise, Zhou Qianqian’s talent would have overshadowed Zhou Yuntian with no significant issue.
Hearing her sweet voice, Zhou Yan felt comfortable.
He nodded toward her in approval and said, “This is exactly what I was about to address.”
“In my mind, the Sword Heart of this strike should possess an ‘indifference’ that views all living beings as ants—a true sense of pride.
This feeling is indescribable, but you all should consider a scenario where you are a great powerhouse that far surpasses the Sword Spirit Realm, and you are faced with a need to deliver a fatal strike to someone in the Sword Realm.”
“Words cannot fully capture it, so let me demonstrate it for everyone casually.”
Zhou Yan said, furrowing his brows slightly.
He had felt that the strike that confronted the white light was a peerless one!
Such a strike was not something that people from this world could comprehend, but it provided much reference for them.
After all, Zhou Yan had spent an indeterminable amount of time in the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, experiencing that strike firsthand while barely grasping it.
How much could these people understand by his imitation?
Zhou Yan wasn’t worried, but he knew that only such a swordsmanship containing infinite changes could provide the greatest space for comprehension for his family members.
The benefits of this were unimaginable.
With such a mindset, Zhou Yan set aside that hint of prejudice in his heart.
He disregarded Li Shaqing, Feng Ling Bamboo, and others, and stood there quietly, with the Green Lotus Broken Worry Sword trembling gently in his hand.
He had not understood much, but his memory was exceptional, and his soul incredibly powerful!
He continuously simulated that strike.
The powerful and unmatched soul energy rippled through him.
Zhou Yan thought he could mimic this strike confidently and with ease, but the energy of the Soul Giant Sword was drained by nearly one ten-millionth for that mere hint of will to appear!
One ten-millionth, which would usually allow his soul energy to recover countless tens of thousands of times over!
Zhou Yan was astonished.
He had not anticipated that the consumption for this strike would be so heaven-defying!
But, once the arrow was nocked, it had to be launched.
Zhou Yan simulated for close to three minutes before suddenly opening his eyes.
His eyes, divine-like, shone brightly, stunning the heart!
He let out a cold huff, “Life is but ants!”
One sword, Sky Breaking!
Like a dark abyss, it pierced through the void, lunging toward the nearby mountainous void!
The air twisted and exploded with terror!
Space cracked with flames, Tao Light flashed, illuminating Heaven and Earth, in a fleeting splendor!
With a hiss!
The sound of the sword resonated, shaking the heavens and earth, altering the complexion of the wind and the clouds.
Numerous Elders and disciples were taken aback, shocked!
Li Shaqing, sensing the power comparable to an attack from a Li Family Ancestor, nearly popped his eyes out!
And Feng Ling Bamboo, at this moment, had a few more shades of shock in her beautiful eyes, clearly astonished at such a move!
“Good, what a powerful sword!”
Li Shaqing’s voice trembled, unable to resist uttering a cry of amazement.
“I didn’t expect him to comprehend such a strong and invincible swordsmanship!”
There was a hint of confusion in Feng Ling Bamboo’s beautiful eyes as she was deeply shaken, murmuring to herself.
“This, this sword, I seem to see the invincible Sword Ancestor!”
Many disciples have already lost their composure, exclaiming one after another.
Even more elders and disciples felt a bone-chilling coldness throughout their bodies!
They were very relieved, relieved that they had not bullied Zhou Wangchen, had not joined Zhou Yuntian in oppressing Zhou Yan and the Zhou Family of his Canglan City, otherwise, this sword would have left them thoroughly chilled!
With this sword, mountains ten miles away were annihilated, turning into nothingness.
“Boom!”
A muffled boom shook heaven and earth, startling the cultivators in the entire Carefree Main City.
Countless people were alarmed, seeing the terrifyingly large sword scar in the midst of the destroyed mountains, feeling a chill run down their spines.
The Sword Heart Realm represented the strong among great families.
The Sword Soul Realm was already top-tier!
The Sword Spirit Realm was like a mythical status, one that belonged to the manor master of a great manor!
How could a sword that matched or even surpassed the strength of such a manor master not cause people’s hearts to tremble with fear?!
…
Zhou Yan’s simulated sword had once again spread his fame far and wide, solidifying his name as a genius, completely shocking Carefree Main City and even the Water Domain, and even the Cangyan Manor and Wangchuan Mansion!
Everyone was moved.
And after Zhou Yan derived such a move, he did not show off, because he himself was shocked by the power of this sword.
But he quickly recovered, beginning to detail his enlightenment of this move in the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm.
He didn’t hold anything back, because whether it was the “Superior Water” swordsmanship or Xingyi Swordsmanship, he had retained them both.
And what he retained was the essence of it all.
Zhou Yan’s detailed explanation engrossed everyone, even Feng Ling Bamboo, who had looked unfavorably upon Zhou Yan, was deeply attracted.
So much so that she found Zhou Yan…
incredibly charming!
She was reluctant to admit it in her heart, but as she listened, she couldn’t help but want to take a few more glances at him.
After taking a few more looks, she realized that actually, Zhou Yan was very handsome.
…
This time, Zhou Yan’s explanation of Sword Dao truly established his unshakeable position in the Great Zhou Family.
Now, after him, no third-generation disciples of the Great Zhou Family dared to call themselves Young Master of the Zhou, because the title ‘Young Master’ had become exclusive to Zhou Yan.
At the same time, many elders and third-generation disciples capable of initiating the Sword Illusion Realm, recorded this explanation, beginning with the thought that Zhou Yan’s comprehension must be extraordinary.
Only after recording everything did they realize that Zhou Yan wasn’t just extraordinary in one aspect, but in almost all aspects that others daring to comprehend Sword Dao wouldn’t even dream of!
It wasn’t just one aspect of being extraordinary, but instead, there wasn’t a single aspect that wasn’t far above the ordinary!
…
That night, the moon was full and bright like water.
Zhou Yan and Feng Lingqing were caught up in intense actions within the hidden Sword Array, the sounds of their movements and romantic atmosphere intertwined, with intermittent, soft moans.
“Young Master, I need to help our Miss complete a task…
I can’t speak of it for now, but Young Master, I’ll finish it as quickly as possible and then come back to be with you,” Feng Lingqing said, not wanting to part.
After another intense burst of passion, Zhou Yan advised her.
“Well, if you can’t say it, there’s no need to force it.
Do I have any reason not to trust you?
However, under any circumstances, preserving your own life is the true wisdom.
Other things can be approached slowly, but if life is lost, there’s no hope for anything!”
“I understand, Young Master.
You also take good care, I won’t be able to accompany you to Ancient Tomb Mountain, and you must protect yourself well.”
“Don’t worry, no one capable of causing me a loss has been born yet,” Zhou Yan said arrogantly.
“But we almost lost our lives in that Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm,” Feng Lingqing teased him playfully, deliberately knocking Zhou Yan.
“I see, you little demon dare to tease your Young Master.
Watch me ravage you thoroughly!” Zhou Yan smirked wickedly, the light in his eyes flickering differently.
“Ah…
Young Master, spare me…”
Feng Lingqing felt an extreme love in her heart, still, she playfully cried out, deliberately accommodating Zhou Yan’s desires.
