Amidst the gaze of the masses, under the watchful eyes of all, Zhou Yan's hand gently lifted and then moved towards his own heart.

The scene was silent, all cultivators widened their eyes staring at Zhou Yan, seemingly wanting to witness that terrifying Ultimate Path of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao, to understand where the difficulty within truly lay.

Thus, every action of Zhou Yan was closely watched by the cultivators, concentrating and holding their breath, afraid to miss a single movement.

Zhou Yan's hand was placed on his chest, and his movements slowed down.

He gently pulled towards his own chest, a cluster of divine soul seemed as if torn apart, directly pulled out from his Soul Sea.

"Ah—"

All cultivators gasped, for this was equivalent to tearing the divine soul!

All cultivators widened their eyes, their eyeballs nearly popping out, as if witnessing something unfathomable.

This shock was simply incomparable!

But, this was merely the beginning.

Facing the sound of gasping from the many cultivators, filled with shock, Zhou Yan gently pushed this cluster of divine soul beside him, this action was almost a replication of pushing the Star River with a hand.

Yet with just this push, this planetary-like divine soul suddenly trembled, then abruptly dispersed, as if a life was born within.

All cultivators seemed to be dumbstruck watching this scene, completely holding their breath, not daring to breathe, fearing to disturb anything, and even more afraid of missing even a sliver.

This cluster of divine soul, after birthing vitality, suddenly transformed into endless light wheels and halos, within the halos appeared an incredibly benevolent Zhou Yan.

This was transformed from the Merit Soul.

However, the Merit Soul contained all of Zhou Yan's Thirteen Soul Bodies and could independently exist, equivalent to a perfectly divine soul level avatar split from the whole.

This situation was somewhat complex, equivalent to perfectly replicating an identical copy of a complete whole using Merit Power.

Zhou Yan was clear about this, but he fundamentally couldn't explain it, and others couldn't understand either.

But the terror of Merit Power lies in this benevolence, this intent of Vast Vow and Praying Heart.

The effect of this strength is such that, even if it's directed at an enemy, when this strength influences the enemy, they are almost like being enlightened, suddenly realizing their errors, kneeling to confess their sins.

This benevolence resembles a mutated form of subjugation, its power is incredibly terrifying.

Yet Zhou Yan didn't think so, merely pushing out this power with genuine benevolence.

This power manifested compassion, then he slightly smiled at the crowd, clasped his hands together, and said, "Amitabha, benevolence indeed."

"Pfft—"

Chen Tianjian, Chen Wanxiao, and other experienced cultivators nearly spat old blood, their expressions extremely remarkable.

The remaining cultivators looked incredibly odd at this 'Good Thought' avatar, you look at me, I look at you, expressions were equally remarkable.

Chen Wanxiao's old face muscles twitched uncontrollably, he trembled for a long while before stammering, "This, this isn't that rumored 'Ten Thousand Buddhas' path, right? It should be Good Thought Soul?"

Zhou Yan couldn't explain, because in this world, no one knew what a Buddha was, nor would any cultivator know what a monk was; explaining it through Tai Chu Rune to say 'monk', Zhou Yan didn't even know how to translate it!

Even if forced to translate into Tai Chu Rune, others might think of it as 'bald monk', 'bald ascetic monk', and the like, which were incongruous.

Therefore, Zhou Yan could only smile bitterly and nod, without any further explanation, saying, "This is one part of the Ultimate Secret, this power is called 'Merit Power', 'Power of Compassion', what you call 'Good Thought Avatar'."

"Of course, where there is the first type, there is a second type, once I show it to you, you will understand."

Saying this, Zhou Yan didn't hesitate, directly grabbing towards his chest again, pulling out another cluster of divine soul!

"Tearing the divine soul again!"

"Another divine soul avatar!"

"This, this is simply defying the heavens!"

"Does he want to shock the ages? Can the divine soul be torn this way? Doesn't it hurt him? My own divine soul is already trembling, feeling extremely painful!"

"Indeed, my divine soul also hurts terribly, merely watching it makes one feel chilling and fearful!"

"Truly worthy of being Sky Sword Sect's number one genius and person today, just this method of tearing the divine soul, who can match it? Ji Wu probably doesn't have this heaven-defying power either!"

"Scared the hell out of me!"

The group of cultivators from Sky Sword Sect were genuinely shocked again this time.

Knowing the pain of soul loss, living is worse than death, so Zhou Yan's means of tearing the divine soul was naturally even more shocking!

Moreover, Zhou Yan maintained a composed facade, which only proved that whatever Ultimate Secret of the Ten Thousand Soul Immortal Path, was truly perverse!

All cultivators gradually felt relief in their hearts, starting to understand that this level of difficulty was indeed unimaginable, just the aspect of tearing the divine soul drove away the desire for all cultivators to learn it.

Only some fanatics and daredevils might have the guts to try. And these people likely knew that trying might indeed lead to a certain death outcome.

The minds of these cultivators were filled with chaotic thoughts converging, yet they discussed only in whispers, not daring to avert their gaze, fearing to miss even a sliver of experience.

And Zhou Yan, at this moment, simply pushed this cluster of energy again, this cluster of energy expanded, eventually transforming into a blazing red smoke shooting into the sky, then suddenly condensed, forming a red-condensed gas divine soul.

This gas, any cultivator could recognize with a glance, for this gas had already formed a physical entity!

"Qi Fortune!"

"It's actually a Luck Soul Body!"

"Luck Soul Body!"

"Luck Soul!"

"Isn't this Jia Yongheng's unique method!"

"Does Zhou Yan want to defy the heavens? Already so heaven-defying, yet still so perverse!"

...

This time the shock was practically a terrifying commotion!

The cultivators from Sky Sword Sect all became fervent, their eyes turning incomparably bright and fervent.

Then, Cultivators started jumping up, loudly shouting "Zhou Yan! Zhou Yan!" and "Invincible! Invincible!" and soon the entire Sky Sword Sect was in an uproar.

"You—you are simply a monster! How can you possess such an extraordinary Divine Soul! You... you..."

Chen Tianjian and a series of Sect Masters and Elders were also completely shocked.

There is no most shocking, only more shocking!

This is simply unimaginable, like a fantasy, yet it is vivid and real!

Zhou Yan smiled slightly, raised his hand slightly, signaling everyone to be quiet.

Indeed, as soon as he made his move, the scene suddenly became quiet, almost as if everyone was of one mind, completely following Zhou Yan's arrangement.

Zhou Yan was very satisfied, but he did not show off, instead, he felt it necessary to explain clearly, not to chill the hearts of everyone, while cultivating the will and determination of the Sect disciples for the later Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao.

Therefore, Zhou Yan reached out and pulled, drawing out the third mass of energy, and with a casual wave, he let the terrifying Heavenly Dao power form a Heavenly Dao Avatar.

This time, everyone was completely dumbfounded, rubbing their eyes vigorously.

Some Cultivators wished they could pop out their eyeballs to see clearly.

But the scene became even quieter.

"This is the Heavenly Dao Soul Body."

"Good Thought Soul Body, Luck Soul Body, and Heavenly Dao Soul Body, the three fused into one, forming a truly unknown Soul Body, which should be the Ultimate Secret of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao, the Ten Thousand Soul Soul Body."

"Only the Ten Thousand Soul Soul Body can perform the Ten Thousand Soul Immortal Path."

"Earlier, at the Burial Immortal Land's Void Sword Mountain, I gathered some Tai Chu Yin Qi, intending to study methods of restraint. I will now release some to demonstrate the Secret of the Ten Thousand Soul Immortal Path."

Zhou Yan said.

He proceeded to summon the Jade Tripod, from which a rich stream of Tai Chu Yin Qi was emitted, followed by the fusion of the three Soul Bodies which gathered in Zhou Yan's hand, forming a sword.

An Emperor Sword.

At that moment, Zhou Yan involuntarily exhibited the Emperor Qi Sword Body's Emperor Sword Dao.

"Slash—"

A gentle sword strike was executed.

All Cultivators could clearly see that the evil Tai Chu Yin Qi was completely transformed into immensely pure Soul Energy, autonomously flying towards Zhou Yan, just like the Life Soul Energy from the Life Soul Spring, pure Soul Energy alike.

The cold, evil sinister aura mysteriously disappeared completely.

"Hiss—"

The experienced elders, Sect Master Chen Tianjian, and great elders Chen Wanxiao's pupils contracted sharply, involuntarily shivering in their hearts.

This Sword Dao completely suppresses Yin Spirit, it is utterly terrifying!

If this Sword Dao could be propagated, what would we fear from the Outer Heaven Demon Domain?!

Unfortunately, the difficulty of this Sword Dao...

Chen Tianjian and the others felt a bit regretful in their hearts.

Meanwhile, the Cultivators of the Sky Sword Sect were all gasping, trembling with excitement, yet feeling greatly regretful.

Having witnessed this scene, they completely understood, there is no way to master such a Dao.

It's not that Zhou Yan was exaggerating; they knew through complete demonstration that this Dao, they could never learn even in ten, a hundred, or ten thousand lifetimes.

Some things, ultimately, depend on having that kind of fate, having that kind of talent.

If they don't, they can't force it.

Like how an ordinary person cannot choose their mother or their gender at birth.

Some things simply cannot be, no matter how much is said or explained, it's useless, better to demonstrate directly.

At this moment, almost all the Cultivators finally understood Zhou Yan's painstaking efforts, it indeed speaks less than actions, less than using actions as proof.

Excited, enthusiastic, but also a bit inexplicably lost, inexplicably regretful, blaming themselves for their incompetence.

This was the mental state of most of the Sect Cultivators present.

Yet at this time, Zhou Yan suddenly exclaimed loudly: "Well now, I have to tell everyone good news. Although—this Ultimate Supreme Dao cannot be inherited, the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao, besides this Supreme Dao, has a complete Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao that slays Yin Spirits like slicing vegetables! Let me first demonstrate, and then I'll impart everyone this Dao in its full ten-part complete Supreme Dao!

This Dao, excluding the Ultimate Secret, the rest could be called the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao 'nine out of ten parts' comprehension, and I will impart it entirely to everyone!"

Zhou Yan confidently said.

He was not deceiving, for that Ultimate Secret was not taught to Sky Sword Sect Cultivators, but taught to him, Zhou Yan, by someone borrowing the Heavenly Sword Immortal Pool.

The Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao itself, complete with nine of ten parts, was to be taught to these Sect disciples!

"Ah—"

At this moment, the Sect Master, the great elders, the elders, and those disciples all were stunned.

What could be more shocking and exhilarating than to receive the best outcome immediately after disappointment and loss?

"Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou Yan, are you sure you're telling the truth?!"

Chen Tianjian, too, trembled like a child with excitement.

His once handsome demeanor became unsightly because of this excitement, laughable.

But in the eyes of all Sect Cultivators, Chen Tianjian at this time was so lovable, so approachable!

"Of course, would I deceive you? Would I? Certainly not! You all treat me well, I will instruct you all on this Dao every day, until you master above three parts, the subsequent Secrets entirely imparted for you to remember, strive forward with all might!"

Zhou Yan affirmed.
