Chapter 443: Chapter 092 No One Can Compete

Mixed Yuan Qi, my Tao is complete.

The Tao is complete, Mixed Yuan Qi.

This is an immortal, unparalleled elegance.

With one sentence, hearts were shaken, people were so overwhelmed they couldn’t catch their breath.

Even now, recalling it felt like the vast thunderous sound that rumbled endlessly by one’s ear.

At this moment, both Si Yuan Xuanzhe and Yan Ran Xuanzhe felt abashed, thinking themselves utterly villainous, their prior actions akin to the joy of petty people.

Their hearts were full of regret; such a genius, yet they had slandered and looked down on him, surely leaving stains upon themselves. Given this, the relationship between them would probably be difficult to deepen in the future.

After just one Enlightenment, Si Yuan Xuanzhe and Yan Ran Xuanzhe were clear in their hearts that Zhou Yan’s future path would undoubtedly be extremely long; Zhou Yan’s brilliance would surely be dazzling.

Thus, upon realizing this, the two immediately felt remorse, lowering themselves to kneel and apologize, sincerely offering amends, hoping to make up for their previous frivolity and recklessness.

"Both of you, please stand."

Zhou Yan nodded, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes. He was actually quite pleased with their actions.

On the other hand, if it had been himself misjudging others, he certainly wouldn’t kneel to apologize; it was a matter of temperament and principles.

Every genius is proud, and you can’t buy a kneel for a thousand gold, but the willingness to kneel and apologize was already enough.

Zhou Yan didn’t think of himself as particularly magnanimous, nor did he intend to dwell on the issue further.

He admired both individuals; they were straightforward in character, with no hint of deceit. If they truly harbored malicious intent, Zhou Yan wouldn’t mind killing them with a slap.

Such an action might be challenging to achieve outside, but within Frost Tears, it was beyond doubt.

"Thank you, Zhou Yanxuan."

Si Yuan Xuanzhe and Yan Ran Xuanzhe were overjoyed at this time, discerning from Zhou Yan’s words a sense of forgiveness and non-contention, and thus were quite pleased.

Moreover, due to Zhou Yan’s ’tolerance’, both suddenly felt that Zhou Yan was perfect in every way.

"You two should now realize that Qingyao Xuanzhe has an exceptional vision. From now on, keep a mindful heart and don’t be too obvious; otherwise, with your blunt natures, you’re bound to get into trouble," Jia Yongheng said with a grin.

He spoke like a peacemaker, his tone of reprimand surprisingly fitting for the scene.

"We won’t make the same mistake again, Qingyao Xuanzhe is formidable, insightful as a torch, recognizing Zhou Yanxuan as a talent of heaven and earth, I am fully convinced," Si Yuan Xuanzhe said with a wry smile.

"Indeed, I used to think I was no less than Qingyao Xuanzhe, but now it seems the gap between me, Feng Yanran, and Qingyao Xuanzhe is worlds apart," Feng Yanran added, her face filled with embarrassment and shame.

"Yan Ran sister, in fact, I too was mistaken. I thought I had regarded Mr. Zhou highly enough, but in truth, I still undervalued him. Now, I’m afraid Mr. Zhou has already grasped the Great Success of Xuanjin, and perhaps even began to comprehend the ’Original Dao’," Qingyao said.

"Ah?"

"What?"

"How could that be?!"

Qingyao’s words caused yet another small stir at the scene.

Apart from Qingyao and Zhou Yan himself, everyone else was dumbfounded, unable to believe it.

"I knew you’d find it unbelievable, I did too, but this is the reality. Otherwise, there would be no Heaven and Earth Phenomenon in this place!

Do you all remember where we are? This is the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb, the ’Frost Tears’ at the core of the Ten Thousand Ghosts Sword Tomb. Here, there should never be any Heaven and Earth Phenomenon, yet now there is, which indicates the Supreme Dao, the Tao that draws upon the Original Dao!

Considering Mr. Zhou’s statements, if one delves into them, there’s a chance of touching upon the Original Dao," Qingyao said earnestly.

As she spoke, her beautiful eyes remained intensely on Zhou Yan.

That moment, that tender gaze, appeared as if it would melt Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan was not some pure and innocent young man, yet even now such a gaze made him feel a strange heat within.

And the others like Si Yuan Xuanzhe, Yan Ran Xuanzhe, Jiayue Xuanzhe, and even Eternal Xuanzhe began to look at Zhou Yan with eyes full of incredulity and shock.

Later, their expressions froze, and after a long time, traversing Qingyao’s train of thought, they finally comprehended.

Even so, their faces still showed an unsettled shock and surprise.

"A true genius, indeed an unparalleled genius, even among the Nine Origin Heavenly City, he could be called the unparalleled first, unrivaled by anyone," Jia Yongheng concluded.

Then, looking at Zhou Yan, his eyes heated up, this fervent stare giving Zhou Yan a tingling sensation on the scalp.

Being looked at by a woman in such a way was one thing, but being stared at by a man like this...

"Indeed, this is a true genius. Compared to Zhou Yanxuan, I now truly feel ashamed. Zhou Yanxuan, your words earlier helped me achieve comprehension in a Dao I had long struggled with; I will recount it for you. Whether it aids you or not, I simply wish to offer what I can," Si Yuan Xuanzhe said with a rueful smile.

As he spoke, he began to expound upon his own Tao.

He cultivated the way of sword techniques and array paths, excelling in the Sword Array.

"My Sword Array mainly uses the array as the sword, and the sword as the array," said Zhou Yanxuan, "through my words, I have compared the Primordial Chaos to the Sword Array, and it has already achieved the Sword Array’s Ascension..."

Si Yuan Xuanzhe spoke of his Sudden Enlightenment without reserve.

Zhou Yan listened in silence, then analyzed carefully. Although there were no obvious gains, his insight into the Sword Dao and array paths indeed grew substantially.

"In that case, if I do not speak of my enlightenment, it would be unjust to Zhou Xuanzhe’s revelation containing the ’Original Dao.’ My enlightenment pertained to the path of ’Origin Unity.’

After a moment of deep thought, Yan Ran Xuanzhe also revealed her enlightenment.

However, her mentioned ’Origin Unity’ was merely rudimentary, far less profound than Zhou Yan’s complete enlightenment of ’Origin Unity, All Things are Law, Primordial Transformation’ of the Dao.

Nevertheless, Yan Ran Xuanzhe’s enlightenment still made others like Qingyao Xuanzhe tremble with awe. They felt that even her elementary understanding of ’Origin Unity’ was a mark of a world-shattering talent.

Having spoken, Yan Ran Xuanzhe watched Zhou Yan with eyes filled with expectation, hope, and desire, eager for his ’commentary.’

At this moment, during the unplanned philosophical debate, she had wholly surrendered to the genius within Zhou Yan.

Seeing Yan Ran Xuanzhe’s anticipation, and noticing that Qingyao Xuanzhe and others were also waiting for him to speak, he nodded and said straightforwardly, "Without elaborating, true understanding can be intuited, not spoken. I give you eight words—All Things are Law, Primordial Transformation."

"All Things are Law, Primordial Transformation!"

These eight words were truly earth-shattering.

Merely speaking these eight words neared invoking another Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

But this time, Zhou Yan was prepared; he spoke quickly and they dissipated just as swiftly, so the phenomenon was only fleeting.

Even so, Qingyao Xuanzhe and Yan Ran Xuanzhe were left profoundly shocked.

"His talent is terrifying indeed!"

"His words bring laws into being. He has understood the true Supreme Dao!"

"Compared to his Enlightenment ability, my own is like an ant, a mere flash in the pan! It’s laughable that I didn’t realize it and dared to mock and scorn him before..."

...

In the midst of Purple Flame Void.

Since the Void Power permeated the outside, Zhou Yan was empowered to withstand a full-force attack from Frost Tears, thus parts of the Purple Flame Void were communicable with the external world.

Therefore, Ni Chang Fairy and Zhou Lingyao also heard Zhou Yan’s words, leaving them momentarily stupefied.

"An ant shaking a mighty tree, laughably overestimating oneself. That Si Yuan Xuanzhe, realizing this point, is commendable."

Zhou Lingyao smiled lightly as she spoke.

"Yes, for a genius like Si Yuan Xuanzhe, who comprehended the Xuan Restriction and became an invincible peer, it would be tragic if they did not possess pride. Like a calf not fearing a tiger, such an edge is actually a facet of progress," Ni Chang Fairy commented.

"You’re right. But Zhou Yan’s abilities are indeed terrifying. Can you feel it? He was merely giving casual commentary, but compared to his true Enlightenment ability and what he has realized, it’s probably less than one in a billion. Yet even that had such a terrifying effect that even we were stirred upon hearing it," Zhou Lingyao exclaimed in admiration.

"Isn’t that Qingyao Xuanzhe trying to attract him with eyes brimming with tears because she saw that? She even already has the intention to actively seek his favor—Hmph, this woman is indeed thoughtful, but that seductive look in her eyes, I find it quite distasteful."

Ni Chang Fairy suddenly spoke with some annoyance.

"Haha... Hahaha, Ni Chang, are you thinking of Zhou Yan as a son-in-law? A mother-in-law loving her son-in-law is natural. But remember, Zhou Yan is ’his’ next life at Great Perfection, you better consider that carefully. Whether Lingling can step in, that’s yet to be seen."

"It won’t happen, I wouldn’t hesitate to destroy a life, transforming myself into a statue to guide him, just so Lingling will have a good outcome. Don’t talk nonsense. Otherwise, I won’t retire with you and will instead focus on teaching my daughter how to seduce men."

Ni Chang Fairy suddenly spoke discontentedly.

"Ah... no, no, please don’t go seducing men. I was wrong, I was wrong. Our daughter is the nation’s beauty, enchanting a city, beloved by all, flowers bloom in her presence. Zhou Yan won’t fail to appreciate that, surely he won’t! Is that better, my love? I was wrong," Zhou Lingyao hurriedly apologized with a smile.

"Hmph, that’s more like it!" Ni Chang Fairy said coquettishly.

Nevertheless, despite her facade, the worry on Ni Chang Fairy’s face did not diminish one bit.

...

"Zhou Xuanzhe, what I have realized pertains to the utilization of energy, how to apply it more effectively,"

Qingyao Xuanzhe bowed deeply, paying her respects with a curtsy.

With her curtsy, her ample bosom swayed uncontrollably, creating a captivating and turbulent sight.

This movement, like a spark, kindled a warmth inside Zhou Yan.

"My word, she’s using her charms to seduce me."

Zhou Yan was inwardly startled, realizing that a few words had made her see his extraordinary talent in Enlightenment, leading her to set her sights on him.

But he did not take much interest and merely watched quietly for what would happen next.

What he cared about was Jia Yongheng’s ’Qi Observation Skill.’

If he could acquire the ’Qi Observation Skill’ associated with Jia Yongheng’s Body of Destiny, it would bring tremendous benefits to his powerful mutated soul.
