The cold light in the Abyss of the Domain shines on the Xuanyuan Sword in Zhou Yan's hand. The sword light remains bright and icy, crystal clear, like a pool of autumn water.

The sword light is indifferent, not stained with blood.

Zhou Yan's slightly pale face is equally indifferent, also without a trace of blood.

Zhou Yan gently caressed the Xuanyuan Sword, unstained by blood, yet tainted with powerful Blood Qi.

That Blood Qi belonged to Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl Fu Wanling, flowing from her pristine jade-white and magnificently lush chest, as well as from Zhou Yan's own chest.

On this Xuanyuan Sword, the Blood Qi of both individuals permeates, unknowingly devoured by the Xuanyuan Evil Soul.

The Xuanyuan Sword Fragment is also in this Abyss of the Domain, standing unobtrusively like a rusted broken sword in the former place of Order.

Zhou Yan held the Xuanyuan Sword, gently caressing its body, suddenly letting out a long sigh, saying, "The truth, is it really so? Did Lei Yan King really not die?"

"The only thing I can ascertain is that the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl comes from outside the Dark God Domain, from a different world than ours, with a True Void-like disparity between us."

"Yet, to become powerful by any means, I must shatter your heart with words, so you won't make a move against me."

"In this world, only righteousness and only emotions can shatter boundless hatred."

"What I said, though merely derivation, has a fifty-percent chance of being true. However, I still employed the Heart Attack Technique, using persuasive words to change your heart of hatred."

"If there really is a day of Transcendence, let's resolve it then."

Zhou Yan pondered silently in his heart.

Most of his previous words were simply a tactic under Zhou Yan's wisdom. Although they presented as genuine emotions, in reality, only part of it was true, with the other part mainly aiming at erasing the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl's intent to kill and hatred.

Whether Lei Yan King has fallen or not, Zhou Yan does not know.

And the words of hope for the Human Clan were just Zhou Yan's conjecture.

What he knew, in fact, was far less than what he said.

But Zhou Yan still achieved his goal, making the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl leave on her own.

The Sword Illusion Realm given was merely a form of sincerity. Zhou Yan felt no shame in using such means to threaten a woman. Initially, he did so just to scare the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, and later deliberately presented such evidence, precisely employing the simple method of stick and carrot.

And this method, repeatedly proven effective, was enough to show sincerity.

Zhou Yan pushed his wisdom to the extreme. Even though he outwitted the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl, Zhou Yan did not feel as happy as imagined.

Perhaps, like that inexplicable sadness from before, sometimes, life is just so helpless.

Life is like a grasshopper tied with a string, just a matter of who hops a bit more or a bit less.

Zhou Yan held the Xuanyuan Sword, staring in a daze for a long time.

This was not decadence, but merely a sigh, stemming from the sigh after revealing part of the truth.

After sighing, Zhou Yan directly collected his mind, put away the Xuanyuan Sword, and silently came to the place where the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl previously stood, gathered up the rusted Xuanyuan Sword Fragment, and refined its surface impurities with the Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, then re-offered the Xuanyuan Sword.

The Xuanyuan Sword absorbed this part of the fragments and immediately exhibited a powerful wave of Emperor Xuan Yuan's Energy.

The Xuanyuan Sword itself, unexpectedly after fusion, completely split, transforming into nine parts, manifesting a mysterious Supreme Dao Aura.

At this moment, among the nine auras, finally appeared a figure long missed by Zhou Yan, one that left Zhou Yan excited, helpless, and bitter.

"Zhou Yan, it's great to see you again. I know, you're probably not far from understanding the truth, and the Xuanyuan Sword's sixty-percent divinity restoration is enough to prove it."

"However, I tell you, the truths you've realized cannot be considered the truth either. The truth is much bigger and broader."

"You don't need to be confused, nor do you need to doubt. What you need to know, you will surely know in the future."

"Only by breaking the Immortal Tianhe can it become the hope for the Human Clan."

"Before that, you needn't worry about what you fear; nor do you need to worry about what you care about."

"Although everything isn't perfect, it's not very bad either, and there's still hope."

"As for the situation in the Dark God Domain, it's very complicated and hard to explain in a few words. But you must believe, sometimes your greatest enemy is actually your most faithful friend. And similarly, though the opposite may also be true."

"Remember, if you can, try to comprehend the Reincarnation Immortal Path, try to cultivate Soul Loss."

"I am Lee Ran, your brother, and the first master of the Xuanyuan Sword. You will learn about the Xuanyuan Ancestor's matters in the future."

"Additionally, remember, the throne is the path to immortality. After refining it, you have the qualification of immortality. If you're counter-refined, you can only be 'Immortal.'"

"An Immortal is the starting point of immortality, capable of being the ants of immortality, but it's also the end of immortality."

"Once you become immortal, you can never turn back for life, so if you can, comprehend the throne, refining yourself into the Immortal Evil Soul Throne."

...

Lee Ran's figure appeared, yet it was in the form of the Xuanyuan Evil Soul.

Xuanyuan Evil Sword, Xuanyuan Soul.

He appeared, instantly conveyed the message, and disappeared in an instant.

The Xuanyuan Sword suddenly again reappeared in derivation, manifesting a different form change, more like a droplet's shape.

"Form change—Transformation into Heart-soothing Spring?"

"Is this the power of All-World Totem? The power of inclusion?"

"Is this the relative Secret Technique of simplicity and complexity?"

Zhou Yan, with a single glance, saw through the profound secret technique of the new form, and was shocked as if struck.

This Lee Ran, composed of the Xuanyuan Evil Soul, was as powerful as the soul fragment he faced in the Cold Pond, so unattainable, a mountain to look up to.

But the closeness of bloodline and soul body, along with his distinctive tone, let Zhou Yan know his brother is indeed painstakingly managing things.

"Who is my enemy?"

"Who is my friend?"

"The Immortal Phoenix Peacock warned me to be cautious of my brother, and my brother warned me to be wary of my friends."

"But..."

"It's something I shouldn't know and don't need to know, so be it, no matter what means, become stronger... become stronger."

Zhou Yan murmured to himself, the truth that was about to unfold felt shrouded by suddenly arriving mist, leaving Zhou Yan unable to discern clearly.

A few words from his brother Lee Ran seemed to directly alter the progression of all heavenly mechanisms, Heavenly Dao; it was extremely bizarre.

Moreover, this projection came without shadow, departed without a trace.

Impossible to capture.

Yet... some words from Zhou Yan were remembered very clearly.

"Only by breaking the immortal Tianhe will there be hope for the Human Clan."

"Immortality is the beginning and the end of immortality."

"Immortality is an ant in the eyes of the immortal."

"Condense the throne of immortality, the throne of evil soul, and not be refined by the throne."

...

These are very important pieces of information.

Accompanied by these insights, Zhou Yan discovered that the secret technique of the new form transformation he mastered was so powerful.

This feeling was as if the art of form transformation suddenly transcended from respect for Tao to the Immortal Dao.

The relative simplicity and complexity, along with the contrast of stillness and motion, insignificance and magnificence, all interpret an extraordinarily powerful Dao.

Form transformation is not singular but is in motion.

The variations in motion mean continually maintaining movement, derivation.

Like transforming a stone and transforming a flowing waterfall, one is static, one is dynamic.

The combination of movement and stillness, the balance of Yin Yang.

The Life Soul Spring is a flowing soul spring, perpetually circulating with vitality, constantly in motion. Life Soul Spring is also a water droplet, stationary and unmoving.

Thus movement and stillness, life and death, Supreme Dao and simplicity, and various powerful relativity reside in the Life Soul Spring.

Hence, such transformation is extremely challenging.

Because transformation is constant change, like infinite cycles.

Such an unchangeable nature often has a formidable, infinite cycle.

Thus unable to transform.

But once learning from this relativity, it's like grasping a balance, like converting an infinitely recurring decimal into a finite fraction.

It's a very simple principle, but the fundamental difference between 0.3 recurring and one-third lies in that fraction line's isolation and meaning.

This is the simple Tao of the Mechanical Clan, within simple Tao lies the breaking of infinite cycle transformation.

Zhou Yan's form transformation is akin to gaining a way of transforming cycles into fractions, thereby truly traversing the step of relative variation.

This step is a greatly monumental step.

"Perhaps, before this, even if I realized it, I wouldn't grasp it. Unable to speak into reality, unable to wield the word spirit body's abilities, such change is impossible to learn."

"Hence, if I had known this approach to improvement before, it would only be wishful thinking, instead influencing the foundation and transformation of form art."

"It turns out there are such particulars involved."

"In this case, it appears that the Speech Spirit Heavenly Girl was indeed arranged by my brother..."

In-zhou analytical heart, he Displayed A Bitter Smile.

Zhou Yan realized the Tao of form transformation, then holding the Xuanyuan Sword composed of eighty-one Xuanyuan Sword Fragments, he immediately sensed the restoration of divinity in the Xuanyuan Sword by sixty percent, which was almost exactly as his brother stated.

Zhou Yan pondered the secret technique of form transformation, deeply touched, feeling his strength had seemingly reached an invisible limit, mysteriously unable to continue growing stronger.

However, Zhou Yan could surely confirm the increase in combat power wasn't particularly vast.

"Perhaps, it's the battle power boost from the transformation of Evil Heart that has brought me to the Break Eight's limit—if Dark God Domain's power approaches nine, an unknown powerful Void Thunder Tribulation will appear..."

"Cultivate the body with Heavenly Tribulation, if overcoming it, improvements will be immensely significant."

"But Void Thunder Tribulation is not child's play, extremely perilous."

Zhou Yan mused, beginning to analyze and think about ways to become stronger.
