Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 14: Dawn of the Chip


Mo Nan stood in front of Zhou Yan, yet Zhou Yan suddenly felt that he was very far away.

At least, compared to the once-naive young man, he had undergone a world-shaking change.

From then to now, more than ten years have passed.

In these ten plus years, Zhou Yan felt it was as long as several lifetimes.

But for Mo Nan, and for all the cultivators of the Dark God Domain, wasn't it also a lifetime?

"In fact, in such chaotic times, everyone lives exhausted and helplessly. Once, in my arrogant days, I always thought that the matters of the Outer Realm Battlefield had nothing to do with me, feeling they were very distant. Even once thought, after you killed Mo Bei, even if Mo Bei made enormous mistakes, ultimately he was slain by you. I should diligently cultivate to avenge him."

Mo Nan smiled bitterly.

"But then, after the Blue Clan was annihilated, I realized that sometimes gratitude and hatred should be distinguished. After that, the feeling of gratitude outweighed the thirst for revenge, considering Mo Bei was just one person, while the Mo family is an entire clan."

"Later, when chaos erupted in the Burial Immortal Land, many cultivators died. Among them, you fought fiercely for more than three months, drenched in blood, refusing to withdraw, standing up repeatedly after falling.

During that time, many cultivators in the Dark God Domain shed tears because of this. That battle was called the 'Burial God Battle', 'Evil Venerate Battle', and the Mo family, due to Yaoyao's connection with you, gained great respect, inspiring many cultivators to voluntarily join the Mo family, following your former glory."

"When the Family Head was alive, the Mo family declined. But after the Family Head departed, the Mo family thrived because of Yaoyao and you. However, prosperity in chaotic times comes with greater responsibility."

"People tend to grow remarkably fast under responsibility. Now, many ordinary cultivators of the Human Clan have the qualifications to enter the War Soul Hall. The trials of blood and fire are often brutal, but those who survive are rarely arrogant or restless."

Mo Nan's words carried a sense of sighing reflection.

These words, he could have not said, but perhaps because of Mo Yuyao, the two unfamiliar individuals suddenly drew closer.

Zhou Yan nodded lightly, letting out just a sigh.

The campaign, while a hardship, makes the peace afterward seem hard-won. For Zhou Yan, this situation is indeed difficult to articulate.

In Zhou Yan's eyes, the blood and fire in Mo Nan's eyes were, paradoxically, a rare tranquil life for him.

Although battles are cruel, in battles, one can unleash their bloodline power and temporarily forget everything.

Compared to various circumstances, unknown hardships, pure combat has become peaceful.

However, unlike Mo Nan's thoughts, Zhou Yan finds no one to share these feelings with. Even if there were, Zhou Yan would never speak.

"It's good to grow up, the conflicts in the Outer Realm Battlefield have long existed, and sooner or later, they will occur. Getting used to it makes it easier, coming sooner allows us to bear the hardship so our successors may be happy. If these disasters were left to the successors, it remains uncertain if they would have hope—especially now, the growth of talented people is increasingly difficult, achieving a Supreme, grows ever more challenging, with ever greater costs."

Zhou Yan stated.

Mo Nan deeply agreed, and sighed, "This, we can only do our best. The battle, knowing not when it will end, is ultimately too heavy to speak of. By the way, Evil Venerate, currently everyone in the Ancestor Dragon Domain knows of your slaying of hundreds of clones in the Outer Realm Battlefield, and your battle with Fiery Sun Fairy Hong Yuqiao has spread widely. But previously, Hong Yuqiao has declared to face you again on the outside."

"Fiery Sun Fairy Hong Yuqiao? Has she returned from the Outer Realm Battlefield?"

Zhou Yan slightly frowned, and asked.

"Returned, half a month ago, but she seems to have received inheritance of an Immortal Magical Treasure, possessing a unique Immortal Treasure 'Sumeru Tower', entering it allows cultivation and combat simulation with ancient Immortal Path cultivators.

She has made great progress with Immortal Path Ancestors as her combat targets, so if you face her again, be cautious."

Mo Nan disclosed all the information he had to Zhou Yan.

Hearing this, Zhou Yan immediately recalled his battle scenes with Fiery Sun Fairy Hong Yuqiao, recalling his defeat, he began to ponder deeply.

"I understand. This battle can happen at another time, I plan to first visit Sumeru Immortal Mountain. The Dao I've passed to you, contemplate it carefully. This Dao is difficult, no need to force it."

Zhou Yan reminded.

"Yes, I know my limits, Evil Venerate, rest assured."

Mo Nan said.

Zhou Yan nodded, then conversed with Mo Nan about Mo Yuyao, afterward bidding farewell to Mo Nan, leaving this bustling place.

Zhou Yan traveled through the air, inquiring everywhere in the Ancestor Dragon Domain about Sumeru Immortal Mountain but received no information, as if Sumeru Immortal Mountain had completely vanished in the chaos.

Zhou Yan found Venerable Yao to inquire about Sumeru Immortal Mountain. Venerable Yao mentioned that the people of Sumeru Immortal Mountain might be outside the Ancestor Dragon Domain but must be within the Sword Burial Domain.

After receiving this information, Zhou Yan left the Ancestor Dragon Domain, venturing into the chaotic region.

In the Sword Burial Domain, where various Divine Domains converge, alongside territories of the Light Divine Domain, Dark God Domain, and Chaos Divine Domain, there are other divine regions, now gathering into one domain due to the drastic changes of Heaven and Earth.

The Ancestor Dragon Domain is a place of rebuilding, considered a safe region, while outside the Ancestor Dragon Domain reside the Heavenly Demon, Yin Spirits, and Ancient Demon Clan.

Sumeru Immortal Mountain has rebuilt its territory outside the Ancestor Dragon Domain, showcasing its formidable power.

This vast chaotic land makes it difficult to locate Sumeru Immortal Mountain, but this is merely an obsession.

Now, Zhou Yan's combat power has reached an extreme, he knows it's difficult to make further significant progress in a short time, so he plans to first dissolve this inner obsession.

Zhou Yan traversed the Void, ahead lies mountains of corpses, like Heavenly Demons, but Zhou Yan transformed into the form of a Heavenly Demon, not intending to engage.

But at this time, a mysterious scorching energy began to emit from within Zhou Yan's chip, causing him to be slightly surprised.

Still doubting, a pleasing human-like voice echoed from the depths of his Divine Soul: "Sovereign No.1, please don't be alarmed, it's merely the superbrain gathering some feedback information."

The voice explained, and Zhou Yan understood it seemed the chip unknowingly connected to the Mechanical Emperor's superbrain system again.

"I am the intelligence of the chip, you may call me 'Dawn', soon mechanical puppets will come to battle, it's merely to create the illusion of pursuit, please understand Sovereign, and engage fully."

"Furthermore, the chip previously went into temporary dormancy, the reason has been calculated, due to the Sovereign being in a unique Ancient Space before."

"This space has significant effects on boosting combat effectiveness, advise frequent cultivation in such spaces, chip energy repository will provide repair liquid as much as possible."

The chip transmitted this information, then returned to silence.

Although Zhou Yan inquired, he received no responses, as if the chip had entered dormancy.

But the information from the chip made Zhou Yan realize the ancient warship's strength, even able to shield the Mechanical Emperor's superbrain.

As Zhou Yan pondered, suddenly Heaven and Earth shook, and unexpectedly, a person appeared.

This person was Zhou Wangchen, yet the chip had already hinted it was a mechanical puppet, thus Zhou Yan remained composed, not as surprised.

"Zhou Yan? Good, thus no need for further searching, die!"

This mechanical puppet Zhou Wangchen glared at Zhou Yan, suddenly demonstrating substantial Supreme Killing Intent form.

Zhou Yan was surprised, this scene seemed quite familiar, wasn't it already encountered on the ancient warship? The first Zhou Wangchen carved by the sculpture attacked like this.

Having experienced it, with the battle scenes against Hong Yuqiao fully repeating, Zhou Yan executed Attack and Kill Skill with ease, thoroughly crushing it, slaying the mechanical puppet within mere moments.

Yet, Zhou Yan felt no ease, instead suddenly a weighty mood—what is the ancient warship's land? Why does it project reality? Is the illusion affecting reality, or is reality affecting the illusion within the ancient warship?

Does this mean subsequent encounters will occur?

Zhou Yan found himself uncertain, feeling that he had touched another layer of earth-shattering secret.
