Chapter 470: Chapter 117 Invincible Pressuring Methods

Zhou Yan consecutively executed the Undying Rebirth Technique and the Nirvana Rebirth Technique, even sacrificing the stored Origin Energy to treat Zhuge Guyan, whose aged body gradually recovered to its original state, becoming young once again.

However, his eyes could not be healed, forever blinded.

Unless a certain mysterious Sealing was broken for self-recovery, his eyes could never be opened again; they would be forever useless.

Even if his head were chopped off and a new head regrew, the eyes would still be blind.

After being treated, Zhuge Guyan, awaking from his weakness, sighed deeply and said, "Zhou Yanxuan, this is not your fault; it all lies in my own incapacity. Jiayue, you have also misunderstood Zhou Yanxuan; he never harmed me. It was I who violated the Heavenly Mechanism Skill by forcefully speaking of things that should not have been said and suffered backlash from the Heavenly Mechanism."

Upon hearing this, Zhuge Jiayue’s expression changed again, and she exclaimed, "Our Heavenly Mechanism Skill should almost never backlash. Young Master... Did you merely speak a few things about Lei Yan King?"

"Silence! Do not mention those three words again, especially if you have Awakened the Heavenly Mechanism Life Chart, do not even think about it, or a great disaster will surely be upon you!"

Zhuge Guyan immediately scolded her.

He had never spoken with such sternness, but after the severity of his tone, the entire imposing aura of the Young Master was displayed, pressing down on Zhuge Jiayue.

"Yes... Jiayue understands."

Zhuge Jiayue’s delicate body trembled, feeling somewhat aggrieved in her heart, but she understood that the Young Master was looking out for her.

Moreover, concerning matters of Lei Yan King, she had a vague awareness of some things, knowing this was a terrifying entity. Thus, she decided to no longer focus on this matter and to follow the instructions of the Young Master.

"Uncle Gu Yan, rest assured, your matter, I will keep in mind. Although I do not understand most of the reasons, there is a small part that I can clearly understand."

Zhou Yan’s expression was somewhat melancholic.

"Zhou Yanxuan, in fact, things... maybe are not as you think they are. But now I can’t say anything else, perhaps it’s all about Fate. I initially didn’t stand a chance of living, escaping the torment of the Soul Killing Torture is already a gain, as for the condition of my body, I really don’t care, so you truly do not need to bear anything because of this; otherwise, I might even feel uneasy."

Gu Yan’s lips trembled slightly, his voice carrying a hint of weariness.

How could he not understand Zhou Yan’s heart at this time? Knowing Zhou Yan was Emperor Qi Sword Body Zhou Yan, he had already glimpsed the outcome from the start; even when imagining even more terrifying possibilities, there were words he still chose to speak.

Otherwise, Zhou Yan, wandering confusedly, if he took a path of no return, who knew what horrible outcomes might arise.

Many things, Gu Yan had thought over them, but had never contemplated them as profoundly as at this moment. Blindness struck his eyes, but his mental processes had instead undergone a sharper, more profound transformation.

...

Listening to the heartfelt words of Zhuge Guyan, Zhou Yan felt immensely warm inside.

Concerning matters of Lei Yan King, the Body of Destiny, the Holy Daughter, and even people like Emperor Yao, they didn’t say much, but Gu Yan, without any reservations, uttered a hint of caution.

Perhaps a single sentence might seem insignificant, but the result of that uttered sentence, he clearly knew could range from nearly losing his life and fading from the Tao, to severe, unimaginably excruciating torment.

Yet, knowing such consequences, Zhuge Guyan still spoke, how could this not deeply touch Zhou Yan?

Seeing Zhuge Guyan’s condition, Zhou Yan was reminded of his own father. His father, Zhou Wangchen, and mother, Li Yunjin, were still missing, with no news of their whereabouts.

And Uncle Gu Yan’s daughter, Gu Xi, was still inside the Crystal Coffin, nearly writhed to the brink, still waiting for his redemption.

At the moment, there was even a clear chance for this pair of suffering father and daughter to reunite, but the state of them both was so lamentable.

Their meeting would not carry the same beautiful longing they each held for one another.

Zhou Yan stood frozen in place for a long time, but ultimately, he only left behind a melancholic sigh.

Following that, Zhou Yan faintly sensed a slight energy fluctuation from the Netherworld Hall, so he immediately reigned in his complex emotions, steadying himself.

At the same time, due to the change in his emotions, Zhuge Jiayue and Zhuge Guyan also realized they were about to embark on a journey, and both quickly reined in their feelings.

Though Zhuge Guyan was now blind, because he had recovered here from the torment of the Soul Killing Torture, he could exert about ten percent of his power, not utterly devoid of the ability to act.

Thus, the two could also sense a slight environmental change.

Zhuge Jiayue took the initiative to support Zhuge Guyan, who although he was blind, the Heavenly Mechanism Skill, particularly in this location, seemed even more like a fish in water, with a more refined sensing ability.

"King, your subordinate is fully prepared; do you have any further instructions?"

In the air, strands of light like water flowed, transforming into clusters of black particles, with information flickering and rippling in the Void.

Zhou Yan’s demeanor was cold and determined, his body exuding an ominously fierce aura, the whole person like a volcano on the verge of eruption, completely exhibiting the ambiance and disposition of Lei Yan King.

"Once the Yuan Ci Secret Realm is opened, the Netherworld Heavenly Road becomes irreversible. This plan has started and cannot be interrupted. We have no more time for discussion. If you have any treasures to present to the Hall Master, also prepare them. When I seize the Yuan Ci Secret Realm and you have slain the Saint, we can proceed together to the Netherworld Hall. When meeting the Hall Master, you can further demonstrate your merits."
