Chapter 169: Chapter 066: Inducing Sword Spirit Mutation

"Young Master, can I still be saved?"

Li Qimeng was also somewhat excited at this moment. Despite having her cultivation disabled and accepting her fate, in such a world, if one could regain power, it would undoubtedly be something no one would refuse.

Especially for a cultivator whose heart was unwavering in the pursuit of power.

Although Li Qimeng was a female cultivator, her heart for cultivation was even firmer than many genius male cultivators.

She had been in a state of ’All Hope Lost.’ Who would have expected that not only had she fulfilled her final wish to meet Young Master Zhou Yan, but she also harbored a renewed hope for strength? How could this not excite her?

Her delicate body shuddered, and for a long time, she could not speak, but her eyes, misty and shimmering with crystalline tears, expressed all her emotions.

"Don’t worry, there is certainly hope, and not just that, I will also give you a surprise!"

Zhou Yan’s gaze rested on Li Qimeng’s face, then slowly shifted to her eyes.

Afterward, his tone was very gentle, as if he was speaking to a person he was closest to.

At that moment, Li Qimeng’s mind went blank. She had no more thoughts as immense happiness suddenly filled her being.

Her nose felt sour, and tears could no longer be held back, streaming down profusely.

Tear by tear, as clear as jade, each fell, sparkling in mid-air.

...

"Brother Zhou Yan..."

Zhou Qianqian timidly called out, breaking the quiet moment.

"Qianqian, you’ve also grown so formidable."

Zhou Yan looked at Zhou Qianqian with a similarly gentle gaz.

At that instant, he felt as if he were an ancestor dealing with his descendants. This young and beautiful girl who admired him wholeheartedly, he felt no trace of desire.

It was at this moment that Zhou Yan suddenly felt that after reaching the Sword Spirit Realm, he had finally transcended.

He had transcended the instinctual desires controlling his body.

"Brother Zhou Yan, don’t tease me. You feel like the Zhou Family Ancestor to me, unfathomable. But back when we were at the family house, our differences weren’t that far apart..."

Zhou Qianqian spoke with a bit of envy and admiration.

She had once possessed the mindset to compete with Zhou Yan, but now... even if their realms were similar, in terms of strength, she had been left far behind.

As she spoke, she sighed softly and, turning her words around, said, "Brother Zhou Yan, since you’re so powerful and this place is so complicated, we should quickly go look for Zhou Ying. I have no idea how she’s doing now.

We used to contact her through the lake, and it seemed she was walking with the Lee Family, but you know, the Lee Family has always been scheming... I’m worried something might happen to her."

Zhou Qianqian said, her tone lowering slightly, her expression darkening.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Don’t worry, she has the Heavenly Spirit Sword Body, which gives her a unique sensing of danger. She should be fine.

As for us... our situation is not optimistic, but you still manage to worry about Zhou Ying. It seems Zhou Gucheng’s sacrificial rescue was indeed worthwhile; he wasn’t wrong about you."

Zhou Yan spoke bluntly, but his words made Zhou Qianqian feel somewhat embarrassed while also affirming her concern for other family members.

She had considered before, in such a place where she could hardly survive, how could she have the energy to worry about others? But hearing Zhou Yan’s direct words now, it seemed as if everything had been rewarded. She suddenly felt truly affirmed in what she had done!

So, from now on, as long as she remains clear-conscience, she could remain guilt-free.

Zhou Qianqian’s inner feelings still didn’t escape Zhou Yan, but he chose not to delve deeply into those, respecting the young girl.

Zhou Yan encouraged Zhou Qianqian and the others for a while before choosing a peaceful place to let the three of them sit in meditation.

Then, Zhou Yan looked up at Mo Yuchou, who had come along with Pan Yuming, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

But this look of surprise was fleeting, and he nodded slightly towards Mo Yuchou, then began to form an array, guarding the three, and then began to perform the Undying Rebirth Technique.

This method required the consumption of certain Origin Energy, but Zhou Yan was not lacking in Origin Energy!

Even though all cultivators treasured Origin Energy like life itself, in the space between his brows, the Purple Flame Lotus could spew out a lot of Origin Energy just by devouring certain ancient items.

This Origin Energy was almost inexhaustible for him!

Thus, Zhou Yan wasn’t the least bit concerned; he used this technique quite casually and freely. He did not conceal it from Mo Yuchou, Pan Yuming, or the shadow that had previously appeared at the ancient altar.

This figure seemed to have been here for a while, and Zhou Yan had felt its presence early on, but he still did not reveal it.

He seemed to be indifferent to everything, focusing solely on healing the three people before him.

He concentrated and held his breath, drawing upon Origin Energy, but instead of focusing on one person, he enveloped all three at once!

Although Zhou Qianqian had not been deprived of her cultivation, she had also suffered considerable injuries. This time, Zhou Yan clearly intended to solve the problem once and for all.

He ignited three ancient Sword Intent Crystal Stones, along with a portion of Origin Energy, directly activating them, condensing three seeds of the Undying Rebirth Technique, and suddenly injecting them into the bodies of the three, like launching Sword Souls!

With this unparalleled technique, even if their bodies exploded, as long as their Spiritual Sense remained intact, they could be revived! Moreover, the Origin Energy provided by Zhou Yan was so terrifying and powerful that, for three individuals whose bodies were almost completely intact, it was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity!

When the essence seeds, resembling the Purple Flame Lotus Platform, were injected into the foreheads of the three, their bodies suddenly started trembling violently! Their bodies seemed to inflate suddenly, expanding dramatically.

Their faces showed clear signs of pain, caused by the overwhelming energy!

But each person did not show even a hint of suffering. Instead, they silently gritted their teeth, persisting and striving to absorb and refine this energy to completely recover.

After the seeds took root, the three finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, the seeds sprouted, bursting forth with terrifying Vitality Energy. Their bodies evolved towards perfection at an incredible pace, and the injuries from the battle were almost instantaneously healed by this terrifying effect.

In a moment, a feeling like rebirth, intense to the extreme, stimulated the three.

Even Zhou Gucheng, the most composed of the three, couldn’t help but show much surprise in his eyes.

If it weren’t for his calm personality, he might have gone mad at this moment!

Because his condensed Sword Soul, after restarting from the Sword Spirit, had transformed directly into a Sword Soul as if it had been condensed by a mutant!

How could this not be a surprise!

Not only Zhou Gucheng, under this energy, Zhou Qianqian and Li Qimeng also underwent such changes, and because their Sword Spirits had not yet achieved Sword Souls, their Sword Spirits were even directly induced, resulting in mutations!

Mutant Sword Spirits!

Perhaps they did not know what it was initially, but having been in the Ancient Tomb Mountain for so long, they must be very clear about the immense benefits this represented for them!

At this moment, not only were Zhou Gucheng and the others shocked, but Pan Yuming, Li Qimeng, as well as that shadow lurking in the darkness, seemed to have stopped breathing!

Zhou Yan’s expression remained calm, but just when everyone thought he would further solidify the realms of Zhou Gucheng’s group, he suddenly gathered a terrifying Sword Spirit and launched an attack towards the Void where that shadow existed.

"Boom!"

The ancient Azure Dragon Sword Spirit, carrying roaring flames and murderous intent interwoven with ancient Sword Intent, immediately struck out towards the concealed Void.

There, there was nothing, and nothing existed.

This was the thought that Pan Yuming and Mo Yuchou instantly had after looking up.

But just as this thought formed, the Void seemed to wrinkle suddenly, twisting abruptly.

Then, the heaven and earth suddenly made a "hum" sound, and a muffled explosion occurred, and a figure a tad bit embarrassedly burst out.

"Jia Lingzhe, you’re truly despicable! You haven’t seen the last of me!"

A plump figure suddenly flew out, his round corpulent figure extremely disheveled, his Spirit Armor shattered into something like a skirt, exposing much unintentionally.

But he didn’t care about Zhou Yan’s attack at all and instead cupped his fists in a salutation through the Void: "Zhou Lingzhe, I am Wang Ze from Cangyan Mansion of the Wang Family, and our Lee Family has always had good relations... Jia Lingzhe hiding here must be coveting a treasure, preparing to act opportunistically. I was just passing by, drawn here by him! I didn’t expect him to stoop so low, deliberately luring me near your healing Ancient Array to use me as a scapegoat..."

This man, despite being beaten by Zhou Yan to the point of vomiting blood and injury, had absolutely no intention of fighting back but instead rambled on! Then, he instantly transformed into a stream of light and flew far away.

The round and plump figure was somewhat fat, looking like a huge meatball, especially when he flew off at high speed, his chest creating two large arcs!

Even Zhou Yan, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but be stunned for a moment, and afterwards, the muscles on his face involuntarily twitched twice.

"Turns out you were aware, young man, then go back!"

In the Void, Jia Yongheng’s voice came through, followed by an ancient energy suddenly transforming into the silhouette of a Buddha, seemingly Jia Yongheng’s Sword Spirit.

However, as soon as this Sword Spirit appeared, the Buddha’s eyes glared, shooting out two azure glows, striking the meatball-like figure at a speed even Zhou Yan couldn’t see, instantly hitting that meatball figure.

"Ah—"

The meatball’s body was fixed in the Void, with no blood flowing nor injuries, but it fell towards Zhou Yan’s location even faster.

If it hit, even with Zhou Yan’s strong physique, he would definitely be injured!
