Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao-Chapter 1369 - 111: Summer Insects Know Nothing of Ice

Chapter 1369: Chapter 111: Summer Insects Know Nothing of Ice

"Mrs. Qian, actually, it is Zhou Yan who is aspiring here. After all, with Luo Shui Fairy’s unparalleled talent on Ziwei Star, I, Zhou Yan, am indeed quite insignificant."

Zhou Yan smiled and stated a fact.

It is an indisputable fact—one is at the Sixth Level of the Eternal Life Principle, and the other is likely a terrifying powerhouse at the Seventh or even the Eighth Rule of Eternal Life.

Between them, is it really possible?

Would Luo Shui truly willingly serve as Zhou Yan’s right-hand ally?

Zhou Yan thought things might not be so smooth, yet this thought flashed quickly and never lingered in Zhou Yan’s mind.

"Yan’er, it won’t be like that. Luo Shui will definitely be incredibly affectionate with you. Yan’er, you are exhausted from the journey, so I will prepare something for you."

As Mrs. Qian spoke, she left first, but the place, whether in terms of environment or energy intensity, was very comfortable.

In this independent courtyard at the moment, there were many rare fruits, each consumed equivalent to days of arduous cultivation.

Furthermore, it could enhance one’s realm and strength.

Zhou Yan had yet to fully refine the soul power of the tiger-faced beastman Mong Tai; his realm was saturated. Even with the corresponding insights, further breakthrough was inconvenient, so he did not consume these items but instead quietly sat down at a table for the Eight Immortals.

Many tables for the Eight Immortals had seats, but Zhou Yan did not sit in them.

However, the ancient table in the center of the courtyard had no seats, and Zhou Yan sat down naturally.

After sitting down, beneath Zhou Yan, as if a throne had emerged, the throne birthed a unique guardian power, forming the energy of Eight Diagrams, surrounding Zhou Yan, making him appear regal like Human King Fu Xi.

However, this regal aura quickly faded away.

Everything returned to tranquility.

Zhou Yan, sensing the suddenly appearing Eight Diagrams Throne beneath him, was thoughtful but did not mind the mortal seat, instead seriously comprehending the Sky Creation Immortality Principle.

Comprehending the Sky Creation Immortality Principle was not easy, but Zhou Yan had a profound impression of everything about Pan Honghuang.

What he comprehended was the Sky Creation Immortality Principle; he wielded an axe and was even constantly searching for Pangu’s traces.

When Zhou Yan initially informed Pan Honghuang about various matters, Zhou Yan himself gained deep insight.

Among them, Zhou Yan still recalled a scene—a snow peak, atop which a woman stood.

The woman faced away from the earth.

On the snow-covered earth, a man with a burly build and bulging muscles wielded an axe, gazing at the heavenly vault.

Then, suddenly, he swung the axe in an indescribable trajectory.

Then, everything vanished.

This moment shattered.

This scene had always left a deep impression on Zhou Yan.

Now, comprehending the Sky Creation Immortality Principle, Zhou Yan sat gracefully on the throne, progressing extraordinarily smoothly, even in an instant comprehending the power and violence, the absolute kill and true intent of that axe.

Zhou Yan suddenly became moved and stood up abruptly.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s soul shivered slightly; he felt an unknown gaze watching him.

At that instant, it seemed a pair of eyes focused on him.

At this moment, Zhou Yan’s realm stepped into the Seventh Level of the Eternal Life One Rule.

This realm was not strong, but Zhou Yan’s progress speed was indeed terrifying.

What lingered in Zhou Yan’s heart was the moment of enlightenment, the inexplicable appearance of a pair of beautiful eyes in the heaven and earth.

While Zhou Yan was amazed internally, a figure suddenly arrived from afar, carrying a faint, serene fragrance.

Zhou Yan sensed the arrival of this figure when she appeared beside his table.

"Are you Zhou Yan? Are you to be my future husband?"

The woman stood quietly there, exuding a clear, gentle aura like a spring breeze.

Her tone was calm, without much emotional fluctuation, but also without any hint of arrogance or disdain.

"If you acknowledge it, then perhaps. I bear the will of the Human King—"

Zhou Yan’s words were cut off as the woman in white spoke again.

"I know. However, we don’t know each other well. Why not live together for a few days and see if we can coexist harmoniously and support each other through thick and thin?"

The woman in white spoke softly.

Interrupting others is quite disrespectful.

But the woman appeared gentle and serene, making it impossible for anyone to find her rude.

Zhou Yan gazed at the exceedingly beautiful face of the woman in white; her beauty rivalled that of Mu Qingyan.

It was enough to compete with Mu Qingyan.

And Mu Qingyan and Yanyan were the most beautiful women Zhou Yan had ever seen, nearly unparalleled.

This appearance, to be honest, was extremely captivating.

Yet Zhou Yan was no fool. Even if this woman deliberately showed warmth, her cold nature still betrayed her.

Zhou Yan pretended not to know, because what he bore was the will of the Human King.

The Human King did not show what he had done for Zhou Yan, but whether it was the Eight Diagrams Throne of Enlightenment, the power of the Eight Diagrams Totem, or other teachings, it far outweighed any favor.

Moreover, the Human King was ultimately the Emperor, an ancestor figure of the Human Clan, who created Fu Xi’s Eight Diagrams, and how could Zhou Yan not know the importance of this inheritance to civilization?

Therefore, even though he felt some displeasure in his heart due to Qian Luoshui’s rudeness, he did not show it.

As Qian Luoshui said, spending a few days together is necessary.

Zhou Yan knew he had some charm, but it was merely superficial.

What can superficiality demonstrate? In the Eternal Life Domain, among various perfect genetic beings, the outside is the most overlooked aspect.

Perhaps, bizarre looks are more welcomed?

Zhou Yan thought to himself.

He was self-aware, not thinking that a Heaven’s Chosen Girl with either the Eternal Life Seven Rules or Eight Rules, the first Extraordinary Woman of the Ziwei Emperor Star, would truly be willing to become the supporter of someone who only possesses Eternal Life One. And Zhou Yan believed that the Human King’s arrangement surely had deeper meaning.

Before knowing the deeper methods of the Human King, even if Zhou Yan disliked the situation, he would fulfill his promise and protect Qian Luoshui well.

This situation, while Zhou Yan pondered over it, further strengthened his will.

"You’ve reached the Eternal Life Realm for seventeen years now, and your physical features are those of a seventeen-year-old. Your soul power is decent, your talent acceptable; after eighteen, you might stabilize your soul body’s strength at twenty layers."

"As for me, my soul power strength is at a hundred layers, my talent isn’t bad either. I’m nineteen now, at the realm of the Triple Karma in the Eternal Life Eight Rules."

"Ordinarily, we wouldn’t intersect. But since Father King chose you, and you can even imprint the Eight Diagrams Throne, it means Father King didn’t choose wrongly."

"I will set everything aside to genuinely engage with you. We’ll spend several days together, understanding each other, enhancing our relationship. If we can move forward, then you are my husband, I’ll stand behind you as your supporter. If unsuitable, then you’ll leave the inheritance, and I’ll match my maid to you, allowing her to assist you."

The woman in white, Qian Luoshui, gazed at Zhou Yan. After a moment, she expressed her thoughts.

"Alright."

Zhou Yan calmly replied with a single word.

Yes, a single word.

Because Qian Luoshui had already provided the answer.

Foolish people naturally couldn’t discern the meaning in these words.

But Zhou Yan wasn’t a fool. As soon as Qian Luoshui finished speaking, he knew her heart was not only proud.

Moreover, so proud that before living together, she outright denied Zhou Yan.

To the extent that, in her eyes, giving Zhou Yan her maid as a wife was a kind of grace.

And as for Zhou Yan, if he knew what was good for him, after taking the maid, he’d hand over the Eight Diagrams Throne, leave the inheritance, and offer the Fragmented Map. Then he could live in wealth for a lifetime.

Yet if not, the result was obvious.

Qian Luoshui didn’t speak.

But Zhou Yan sensed a hint of killing intent.

As for the so-called coexistence, Zhou Yan believed that once Qian Luoshui left this place, she would not come again.

This coexistence was actually just to show the Fairy Jingxiu, nothing more.

Also, nothing else.

"I want to become stronger, hence I’ll employ any means. No mundane aspect can prevent this. I respect Father King, but his ultimate fate was just a prisoner, unable to protect his wife or daughter. Such a Father King, how is he worthy of my respect?"

"In the past, I would listen to Father King. But after meeting the Lord of Ice and Snow, I realized that if you can’t be the sovereign of your own will and life, life is merely a puppet."

"As for your inheritance, your will, it has nothing to do with me. I know you understand my meaning, but I’m not mocking you, I’m not ridiculing you—on what basis do you contend with the King who became the Lord of Ice and Snow?

The King is a realm you cannot imagine. Even the King was invaded by unknown evil energy, enslaved into a puppet.

You, in the realm of Eternal Life One Seventh Layer; oh no, Seventh Level. On what basis do you fight?"

"Eternal Life has no concept of age or time, but Eternal Life is not immortal. Whether it’s everlasting sealing, the will imprint of the Sovereign, or the abnormal path of heavenly punishment devour, all can destroy eternal life beings."

"I lost my father, I don’t want to lose my mother. Living for a while is better than existing in endless despair and suffering."

"This is my choice."

"You can consider me ruthless, think me ignorant. But given my identity and nature, that I can speak to you, a strange man, is already exceptional."

"Before this, no filthy man could come within three meters of my body."

"I hope you have some self-awareness, recognizing the gap between you and me, like fireflies and the blazing sun. Summer insects cannot discuss ice, perhaps no matter how much I say, your heart mostly holds resentment.

But I don’t care. Either you accept my maid, leave the inheritance.

Or, you will only be destroyed by me."

"I, Qian Luoshui, need no reliance on anyone."

Qian Luoshui provided the answer.
