Chapter 612: Chapter 048 The Theory of the Perfect Soul

Huge ancient trees touched the sky, and underneath their shade, people seemed as small as ants.

Yun Shu gradually regained consciousness, looking around in confusion before realizing the environment seemed familiar.

The air still carried an energy similar to that of Baiyue Canyon, and the atmosphere and Qi of the four fields helped Yun Shu comprehend that she hadn’t died nor was she injured.

And this place was still the Heavenly Heart Secret Realm; nothing had changed.

"I... I didn’t die? Huh? I reached the Fourth Sword Tribulation Refinement? I broke through the tribulation process? And my combat power has improved?"

"What’s going on?"

Yun Shu subconsciously sensed her own condition and suddenly jolted, exclaiming in surprise.

It was as if everything before had been a nightmare.

But Yun Shu immediately checked her trump cards, sadly discovering that they were all gone.

Everything was real!

The Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror in her hand was also lost.

Although it was a broken Holy Artifact mirror with no significant abilities, its function to lock onto others was still extremely effective.

Moreover, even though it was shattered, this mirror still possessed the quality of a Low Grade Holy Artifact, which would be a divine item if it could be repaired!

Yet such an item had been lost just like that.

This also proved that the Blood-furred Monster was real!

Thinking of the Blood-furred Monster, a tremendous fear arose in Yun Shu’s heart, making her feel cold all over!

Even though she had made a significant breakthrough in her Realm and her strength had horrifyingly improved, the fear in her heart for the Blood-furred Monster instead intensified.

"Zhou Yan... from now on, whenever I see him, I must keep a distance of three meters and never provoke him again! Zhou Yan, the Blood-furred Monster, is too terrifying... I hope it’s not too late to make amends."

Yun Shu sighed heavily.

She had resigned herself, resolved her inner conflict, and it no longer existed. Her Realm had also inexplicably broken through, surely due to the Blood-furred Monster not killing her.

At that time, she was like a fish on the chopping block, yet the other didn’t strike; Yun Shu felt immensely melancholic and grateful.

Perhaps only after experiencing life and death can one truly appreciate the rare joy of being reborn.

Yun Shu stood up and took to the sky.

Suddenly, intense energy fluctuations came from ahead, followed by a group of cultivators who fiercely flew backward like a cloud.

Among them, six were severely injured.

Yun Shu was taken aback and was about to avoid it, but suddenly, her eyes brightened intensely.

"This—this is an opportunity! I think I understand now; those like Qi Meng had previously left here to scout the way. This time, I hope to mend my relationship with Zhou Yan."

Yun Shu thought to herself.

She was grateful that after mistakenly handling Zhou Yan earlier, she had used the Wind and Moon Treasure Mirror and the relationship with the Saint to learn much about Zhou Yan; otherwise, even if she had the chance to amend things now, she wouldn’t be able to seize it.

Without hesitating, Yun Shu flew forward, casually emitting a gentle Sword Intent energy, catching all those people who were blasted back by the immense Sword Qi in the front, and soothing their injuries simultaneously.

"Who dares interfere with the ’Vajra Clan’s’ and the ’Three-Eyed Clan’s’ hunting operation?"

From the void emerged a man as massive as a mountain with a giant build. His eyes, large as copper bells, emitted a fierce murderous intent.

His dark black Combat Armor sparkled with flashes of electric arc light, extremely peculiar, possessing a mesmerizing strength.

Behind him, a large group of Vajra Clan and Three-Eyed Clan cultivators displayed a fierce glow in their eyes, emanating chilling killing intents.

Yun Shu appeared indifferent, unbothered by the giant’s words.

"Hmm? A cultivator of the Sword Tribulation Realm, not bad, such strong Cultivation, just right to be my servant, a Soul sacrificial lamb. I still haven’t tried many varieties; I heard that Sword Tribulation cultivators of the Human Clan can freely change through heavenly and mortal declines, filled with all kinds of fun."

Another cultivator flew out, surpassing the tall trees and the Vajra Giant, standing in the void.

He was hunched like a camel, his back bulging significantly.

He was as thin as a wood, his body blackened as if poisoned. If it were night, this person would likely only let ordinary people see his teeth; the rest of him would undoubtedly merge with the darkness.

But as this person spoke, Yun Shu’s expression grew serious because no matter what, nothing was frightening except for the dried-up, half-closed vertical eye in the middle

The reason for the shock was that even in the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm, it was extremely difficult to condense the Destruction Sword Body.

The four Ancient Sword Bodies were actually divided into Yin and Yang inheritances, as the Supreme Dao rules are about Chaos dividing into Yin and Yang, and the ancient Supreme Sword Dao is no exception.

Among them, the ones with Yang attributes include the Void, Emperor Sword, Thunderflame, and the Tao Sword Body.

On the other hand, the four Sword Bodies with Yin attributes belong to the Four Great Sword Bodies of the Netherworld Life and Death Illusion Realm, with the Destruction Sword Body being foremost among them.

They are Destruction, Devouring, Soul-controlling, and Demon Heart Sword Bodies.

The Destruction Sword Body requires the Eye of Destruction, the Nine Orifice Exquisite Heart, and demands high standards for talent, physique, comprehension, and combat power, making it almost impossible for anyone to possess such a Sword Body.

These Sword Bodies had almost become legends.

Even if occasionally there were similar ones, they were merely diluted versions passed down through bloodlines. For instance, the Devouring Sword Body had derived the Soul Devouring Sword Body, and the Soul-controlling Sword Body had derived the Soul Splitting Sword Body, the Taoist Body Sword Body, and so on.

However, even among these derived lower-level Sword Bodies, Yun Shu had never heard of any derived type of the Destruction Sword Body, so she was considerably shocked when facing this scrawny Three-Eyed Clan camel’s son.

"Hee hee hee—"

The gaunt Three-Eyed Clan camel’s son let out a sinister laugh, then proudly said, "Little ants, you will never understand my ’Jonson’s’ grand dream! Destruction Sword Body? That’s just one of the types. I will gather endless extraordinary women, harvest their souls, refine them into Life Souls, conglomerate the four great Ancient Sword Bodies, and the four great Netherworld Sword Bodies, then comprehend the Chaos Sword Body!

Let the Sword Body transform into nine, become the Supreme Seal, and break the shackles of Heaven and Earth!

I want all heavenly gods to kneel, for the starry sky to become my backyard!

Once possessing the Supreme Nine Bodies, I can achieve a perfect soul and live out a perfect next life! How could you understand such grand ambitions? So, serve me well, Jonson—the future new Heavenly Eye God King of the Three-Eyed Clan! I will treat you well!"

This scrawny camel’s audacious words left Yun Shu speechless.

"Crazy!"

"Freak!"

"Self-righteous!"

Yun Shu remained silent, but a few people beside her scoffed, expressing their disdain.

Yun Shu wanted to say something, but she suddenly realized that the speaker was Zhou Wangchen, Zhou Yan’s father, and Xiao Zhan, his uncle; not only was she not angry, but she actually agreed and applauded, saying, "The elder ones speak rightly. It seems this man has cultivated until his brain is muddled. Just right, I’ll help you slay him, to take revenge for you!"

"Fairy, be careful, this man’s strength is profound and unfathomable."

A handsome middle-aged man beside Yun Shu spoke up.

"Mm, Uncle Zhou, don’t worry, I won’t let anything happen."

Yun Shu spoke softly.

She tried to make her tone even gentler than usual, an action she had never taken before. If Ying Han and Man Cheng were still present, they would probably be astonished to see her like this.

But Yun Shu thought it was worth it and was willing to do so.

Because this man was Zhou Yan’s father! If she could win his parents’ hearts and his friends and family accepted her, perhaps those past grievances could be put aside.

Yun Shu thought to herself.

She had made her decisions clear. Just like she treated Jiang Wannian and Ji Baifa, to reach this point, no one was useless. Moreover, Zhou Yan had almost defeated her instantly with the Sword Void Sixth Transformation, his potential and luck already stronger than hers. Competing against him rashly, comparing Qi fortunes, she definitely could not equal this genius blessed by heaven and earth.

The only outcome would undoubtedly be her own tragic demise.

Yun Shu was not without fighting spirit, but after successive setbacks, she quickly understood the problem. Since she always suffered when opposing others and could not stand against them, she quickly turned around, finding ways to become friends, hoping to change the Qi fortune’s opposing impacts on her.

Yun Shu had reached this point and had her own understanding of Qi fortune. Previously, she had been strongly unwilling and resentful, but after repeated failures, her obsessions became deeply engrained, forming a psychological burden.

But after encountering the Blood-furred Monster and witnessing a scene that made her lose all hope, she was truly frightened.

After escaping death this time, her realm advanced, and her psychological burdens were entirely lifted; she suddenly realized her mistakes and changed her mindset, hoping Zhou Yan could forgive her previous faults.

She knew Zhou Yan was a person who valued loyalty highly but was also vengeful. Hence, in front of Zhou Wangchen, she dared not make any slip-ups.

"Hmm? You—"

Zhou Wangchen was slightly startled.

Beside him, Li Yunjin’s eyes brightened as she took a few more looks at Yun Shu, her gaze carrying a bit of a ’mother-in-law scrutinizing her daughter-in-law’ sentiment.

Li Yunjin gently nudged Zhou Wangchen’s arm, and with a sudden realization, he understood.

"Uncle Zhou, I am merely somewhat acquainted with Zhou Yanxuan; he is an unparalleled genius, the top figure in the Southern Wilderness of Sword Burial Ancestor Star, one of the top ten young talents of the entire Sword Burial Ancestor Star. Even I... am not his match, and I greatly admire him."

Yun Shu said sincerely, her face slightly reddened.

Then, she looked up at the Three-Eyed Clan’s scrawny camel’s son, her voice cold, "Three-eyed scrawny camel, you dared to harm my friend’s parents, I will make sure all of you who have come here meet a terrible end!"

Moments before, she had been extremely gentle, yet now she was decisively lethal, revealing a fierce side.

Li Yunjin’s eyes lit up again, her satisfaction growing.

And the Three-Eyed Clan’s Jonson’s face immediately became extremely ugly.

The words "scrawny camel" were his absolute irritation, and now being ridiculed by a woman in a scornful tone, he exploded in rage.

"Ah! Wench! I will kill you!"

The Three-Eyed Clan’s Jonson erupted, the vertical eye in his forehead immediately trembled, ready to unleash the Eye of Destruction!
