Chapter 206: Chapter 100 Primordial Magnetic Pole Light

"Elder Wan, if there is such an opportunity, let it be kept for Chenchen. If I can make use of it, naturally Chenchen will be able to make use of it as well."

Zhou Yan fell silent for a moment before speaking.

"Master Zhou, this is not meant for the Young Master to use. With Emperor Blood, he already has no worries for the future, but this secret involves special domains and the extremely precious Primordial Magnetic Pole Light...

The power of the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light is to condense the soul. Even if the soul has scattered to the winds, as long as certain soul fragments can be gathered, it is possible to reconstitute the entire soul!

Of course, if the soul fragments have disappeared, then there is nothing that can be done."

Elder Wan then revealed some deeper secrets.

"Primordial Magnetic Pole Light? Is this... the Primordial Light from the beginning of Heaven and Earth?"

Zhou Yan was completely moved.

"Yes, there was an opportunity in the past, an encounter with such a light, and I even personally saw where that light went. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, I could not go there.

Now, as for that secret land, I have been contemplating it. If I cannot make a breakthrough in my realm in my lifetime, I will not be able to uncover this secret.

But, Master Zhou, because you allowed my realm to break through, after my realm advances, this secret will naturally be unraveled by me, bit by bit.

At that time, I will be able to take you, Master Zhou, to that place.

As long as you obtain that light, even if you died now, as long as a trace of will has not been extinguished, you can still be resurrected!

So... Master Zhou, I also earnestly ask you to leave a soul mark here, so that, even if you encounter terrifying dangers, you will have at least one chance for resurrection!

Although that would mean losing much of your talent, it’s... still better than dying and being reduced to ashes."

Elder Wan’s voice was very solemn, these words also quite grave, as if he could imagine the chaos and cruelty of this Heaven and Earth in the future.

Zhou Yan understood that this was not Elder Wan looking down on him, but sincerely wanting to leave him a way out. However, Zhou Yan knew his own situation.

Cultivating the Path of Invincibility, my heart is invincible. If I were to leave myself a way out, it would be a subconscious denial of my own Path of Invincibility!

If he did so, then he would never be able to forge ahead through the thorns on the Path of Invincibility!

Elder Wan had good intentions and even shared a secret of vital importance to his life.

Primordial Magnetic Pole Light, which can resurrect the dead, turn flesh into white bones, gather spirits!

Even if a cultivator died, if there was still some soul energy left, it could be gathered back together, a truly abnormal phenomenon!

And such a thing, once known to outsiders, could undoubtedly cause a sensation among all the strong beings in the Sword Burial Ancestor Star and even in the Outer Star Domain, plunging into absolute madness!

Imagine, if his Master’s soul fragments had been scattered and irreparable, if there was this Primordial Magnetic Pole Light, his Master could be resurrected!

However, his Master ultimately perished, unable to obtain this Primordial Magnetic Pole Light. With his Master’s capabilities and realm, still not able to obtain it, it shows how precious this thing is!

Elder Wan, who had lived through ancient times, how could he not understand the importance of this? But Elder Wan still shared it with him, Zhou Yan, which showed the other’s sincerity.

However, the other party, after all, is not him, Zhou Yan. They do not understand that Zhou Yan’s way is "Only I Am Supreme"; he has never considered what would happen if he failed one day.

"Elder Wan, the Path of Invincibility I cultivate is ’Only I Am Supreme’; I never think about what would happen if I failed. If I leave behind a safety net for life, it would directly lead to the end of the Path.

Therefore, I cannot leave myself a way out.

As for the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light... If one day, I truly find myself with no path left to take or if I become weary of it all, I will definitely come back, return here, and spend my final days!"

Zhou Yan gave such an answer.

Although he spoke these words softly, Elder Wan still felt an inexplicable sense of sadness.

Cultivators seem to traverse the sky and earth, unfettered; geniuses seem to enjoy boundless glory, renowned throughout the world. Yet, the bitterness and helplessness within are not understood by those outside the fray.

How many geniuses have now turned into layer upon layer of white bones, a lifetime without the honor of erecting a monument, without even an inscription to commemorate their lives. When dead, they are like extinguished lamps, turned to ash, ceasing to exist.

If one day, Zhou Yan were to come here, then... perhaps, that would be his very last Chapter.

Suddenly, Elder Wan found himself not at all wishing for Zhou Yan to come here another time.

At the same time, he had also made a decision in his heart; since Zhou Yan was unwilling to leave a backup path and since he could not take the road of being reborn from a hopeless situation, then... he would try everything possible to refine the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light into a Sword Spirit and find a way to integrate it into Zhou Yan’s body. This way, everything could be neatly resolved!

Although Elder Wan also knew the difficulty was unimaginably high, apart from this, he did not know how else he could repay the debt of rebirth that Zhou Yan had given him!

Without Zhou Yan, he, Hou Wanxiao, would not have lived another three years! Now, it was not difficult for him to live another three to five hundred years!

All of this was given to him by Zhou Yan!

"Master Zhou..."

Thinking of this, Elder Wan sighed with emotion and did not say anything further.

And at this time, Zhou Yan began to condense the Rune Sword Spirit once again.

Compared to his initial unfamiliarity, Zhou Yan had now completely found a trace of the Tao, so when his hands fluttered like colorful butterflies, the rhythm of the Natural Dao directly emerged, completely capturing Elder Wan’s attention.

Nine Rune Sword Spirits were created through Zhou Yan’s continuous refining, and because top-grade Rune Sword Spirits kept appearing, the great hall was radiant with auspicious colors and anomalies all day long.

This scene also attracted the attention of many genius disciples.

They of course knew who was inside, and they also saw Elder Wan’s immensely respectful and excited expression when he occasionally came out to collect materials, and they saw Elder Wan, who used to be decayed and withered but now looked surprisingly young and handsome.

It goes without saying, anyone could guess that all of this was thanks to Zhou Yan.

Thus, the name Zhou Yan truly became one to look up to and revere within the Emperor Sword Wuji lineage.

Zhou Yan’s status also reached an unprecedented height.

Outside the Artifact Refining Hall, many genius disciples would take the time, aside from their cultivation, to sense the aura of the Supreme Dao here, to watch the auspicious anomalies, hoping in their hearts that they might catch a glimpse of Zhou Yan.

Among these people, even the figures of Chen Tianjian and Hou Caixuan appeared quite frequently.

Ten days later, the nine Rune Sword Spirits were all successfully refined, and Zhou Yan finally let out a sigh of relief.

What was more important about this artifact refining session was that Zhou Yan merged the insights he gained after elevating his soul to the top level into the process.

So much so that his level of artifact refining was now assured to be capable of creating anything at the top-grade Spirit Level!

While there’s a difference between artifact refining and alchemy, Zhou Yan’s understanding of the Tao was the same for both, so, in terms of alchemy, Zhou Yan’s abilities had also reached this level.

This was something unimaginable to most people, even Elder Wan, who would never have thought that Zhou Yan, while refining artifacts, was also simulating alchemy with his own sensing abilities.

The present success represented not just the success of artifact refining, but also of alchemy!

Elixirs, artifacts, cultivation techniques, and Crystal Stones could all be categorized into Mortal Level, Spirit Level, Soul Level, and Holy Level, amongst others.

Each level was further divided into low-grade, mid-grade, top-grade, and top-grade Spirit Level.

In a Great Domain, an Artifact Sword Cultivator who could refine top-grade Spirit Level artifacts held a ’welcomed by myriad realms’ status, while those who could create top-grade Spirit Level items were like Domain Masters of various Great Domains, with extraordinarily high status.

To achieve this capability, Zhou Yan was actually not doing it for any other reason but to prepare for the affairs of Guang Han Hall.

In terms of power, there was only half a year left until Ning’er’s world-wide marriage proposal, and Zhou Yan did not know to what extent he could reach by then, but in the aspects of alchemy and artifact refining... when the time came, he would remain silent no more and would surely astonish everyone!

Perhaps a True Spirit Level genius might not be much, but an Artifact Sword Cultivator who could refine top-grade Spirit Level items and at the same time, a Medicine Sword Practitioner of the same level would definitely be someone not to offend and worthy of looking up to!

"Master Zhou, this, this, this is done?"

The now young and vibrant Elder Wan trembled as he spoke.

He was starting to stammer!

In these ten days, Zhou Yan had given him too many shocks, whether it was the method of artifact refining or the way of refining Sword Spirits like Spirit Pills, he was astonished!

Even in his heart, a voice seemed to suggest, could it be that Zhou Yan could not only refine artifacts but also use such methods to refine elixirs?

The idea lingered, but he dared not ask, so he could only hold it in.

"Yes, it’s done. With these nine Rune Sword Spirits and the comprehensively prepared materials you’ve gathered, connecting the ancient Nine Stars Vast Array and opening the Ancient Seals will not be an issue.

I’ve looked at this Sealing Ancient Array; it’s very powerful and invincible. It would be a pity to destroy it. It’s better to combine it to form the Sect’s guardian grand array, which is perfect for both offense and defense."

"Ah... Master Zhou, on behalf of the Emperor Sword lineage, I thank you for your heart-wrenching efforts!"

Elder Wan’s body trembled even more, overwhelmed with emotion, as he bowed deeply.

This time, Zhou Yan did not refuse, because he could not.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "This Ancient Array is going to make quite a commotion, Elder Wan, have Brother Hou gather all the genius disciples..."

Zhou Yan assigned the tasks to be done, and soon after, the entire Emperor Sword Wuji lineage was astir.

In the Void, Zhou Yan stood silently; close beside him stood Chen, her large eyes curiously observing the scene.

Below them, layers of light shone, with nearly a thousand genius disciples of the Wuji lineage present.

At this time, these disciples were following the instructions of the Elder appointed by Zhou Yan, transporting materials, and arranging the array foundations.

Even Hou Yan, the Clan Leader, took on the responsibility of supervision, busy beyond belief.

But amid this busyness, many Cultivators displayed hopeful smiles, their eyes full of unlimited longing for the world outside.
