Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1625 - 136: Because I Am Zhou Yan!

Such powerful energy yields such low results, Zhou Yan couldn’t help but feel a bit helpless.

But he knew that his soul’s foundation was too powerful and profound, and this ordinary cultivator’s energy would need countless refinements to possibly reach his current level. Even a slight effect was actually not easy.

However, Zhou Yan didn’t regret it because he knew his starting point was vastly different from all other cultivators.

Zhou Yan killed three people in one breath, his gaze showed not the slightest hint of abnormality.

At the same time, his gaze quietly looked into the endless distance and said: "I know some Saint Masters of the Holy Lands are definitely dissatisfied. But if dissatisfied, they can come to the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to die."

"As long as I, Zhou Yan, am here at Heavenly Mechanism Sect, no explanation is needed for any sect."

"If disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect are bullied outside, I, Zhou Yan, will remember you."

"For killing one of our Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples, we will repay your so-called Holy Lands and sects a hundredfold, a thousandfold, or even ten thousandfold in the future!"

"This time, I, Zhou Yan, lay my words here!"

"Whether it can be achieved, everyone, wait and see!"

As Zhou Yan spoke, he deeply glanced in several directions.

No one knew what he was looking at.

But when he looked over, those directions had distinct unique energy fluctuations.

The three elders from the Void Sacred Land and Ancestral Ancient Sacred Land were clearly just the vanguard, mere ’cannon fodder,’ sent to test Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s foundation.

At this time, if Heavenly Mechanism Sect showed any weakness, disaster would immediately follow.

Although Zhou Yan could pretend Heavenly Mechanism Sect was weak to attract more cultivators and then annihilate them all, he disdained using such methods.

Moreover, these people didn’t even inspire a hint of strategy in him.

With strength, there’s no need for strategy, just crushing is enough.

The Thirty-Three Heavenly Road is here, Tianji Mountain is here, Heavenly Ancient Land, Tianji Emperor Pattern is here, Yellow Bell is also here.

With the foundation of Heavenly Mechanism Skill, these people coming is truly seeking death!

Without this foundation, dealing with three elders would indeed be difficult for Zhou Yan, even requiring some sacrifices.

But with so much foundation, Zhou Yan can nearly unassailably use the rules of Heavenly Mechanism Power here.

Even without the realm earlier, he could crush like this, now it is more achievable.

After Zhou Yan finished speaking, the world was enveloped in deathly silence.

Afterward, no response appeared, no energy fluctuations occurred.

But Zhou Yan knew those questioning and hidden cultivators had silently retreated.

The previous sword wasn’t aimed at three elders but at all the forces behind the scenes.

Because that sword was truly wielded with the strongest power.

Without the Yellow Bell, Zhou Yan could still casually slaughter the peerless strong of the Sacred Lands.

So, how to act and choose, all cultivators’ hearts already began to understand.

The world was silent, long after Zhou Yan finished speaking, no sound emerged.

After a while, two elders came to their senses and sighed deeply, saying: "Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, this... Heavenly Mechanism Sect in the future..."

"In the future, Heavenly Mechanism Sect will be better than it is now, you need not worry."

"And temporarily, no forces will challenge Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s prestige going forward."

Zhou Yan thought for a moment and said.

At this time, the Female Sect Master of Heavenly Mechanism Sect also descended from the void, she looked at Zhou Yan with an unusual expression and said: "I heard Xi Ye say that in half a day, you cultivated from no cultivation to the Soul Condensation Realm?"

While she inquired, her gaze directly fixed on Zhou Yan, seemingly eagerly anticipating his answer.

"Yes."

Zhou Yan nodded and said: "Is there a problem?"

Zhou Yan’s counter-question left the white-robed Female Sect Master momentarily stunned, then she said: "No, naturally there’s no problem."

"However, do you have any secret technique? Or... any insights, if you do, could you teach the disciples of Heavenly Mechanism Sect?"

When the white-robed Female Sect Master said this, many disciples heard this scene and immediately looked at Zhou Yan with eyes full of longing.

Now, Zhou Yan’s divine might has completely imprinted on their hearts, symbolizing unmatched invincibility, almost appearing as a harbinger of disaster, making many disciples nearly blindly trust Zhou Yan. As a result, hearing Zhou Yan’s astonishing feat of cultivating to the Fifth Level of Soul Condensation Realm in half a day didn’t seem as shocking.

Zhou Yan also felt the fervent gaze of so many disciples, he pondered slightly and said: "Helping the sect cultivate some disciples is not a problem, but I’m afraid they won’t withstand the pain."

"In my view, there are no shortcuts, only the so-called effort. Perhaps you think cultivating to the Fifth Level of Soul Condensation Realm in half a day is remarkable, but you don’t know what kind of experiences I endured beforehand."

"Of course, many people believe I have been bragging, but I will show these people that not only am I not bragging, but what I’ve said is understated."

"This matter, time will prove."

Zhou Yan said.

The white-robed Female Sect Master was stunned again, she thought: At such a young age, what unbearable past could you have endured? However, what you said seems to make some sense.

She thought silently but said: "In terms of hardship, many disciples from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect can endure hardship, you can use your methods, but try not to kill anyone."

The white-robed Female Sect Master’s only concern was fearing Zhou Yan’s excessive brutality, causing some disciples to be trained to death.

Upon hearing this, many disciples instantly turned pale, realizing Zhou Yan was indeed a very ruthless person, and training them to death is quite possible!

Hearing this, a collective gasp could be heard from the scene.

Many disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect had already developed a desire to retreat.

"Naturally, they won’t be refined to death. If I don’t want them to die, it would be difficult for them to die even if they wished for it.

However, the Thirty-Three Heavenly Path needs to be completely reforged and modified as well. As I mentioned before, Sect Master, please start preparing."

"The Thirty-Three Heavenly Path is too outdated; it needs a proper restoration to make it shine with the true glory of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!"

Zhou Yan said earnestly.

"Ah—are you serious? The Thirty-Three Heavenly Path, that’s modeled after the artifacts of Ancient Times. How could you possibly understand it!"

The white-clothed Female Sect Master was shocked.

Even all the Elders who had come were staring at Zhou Yan in astonishment, their faces showing expressions of disbelief.

They still harbored doubts, but they were starting to believe that Zhou Yan could accomplish it.

Because Zhou Yan had always been doing things they thought impossible.

And every time, Zhou Yan had completely succeeded!

"Why can’t I understand it?"

Zhou Yan countered.

The Female Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect was taken aback.

"But after all, it’s an ancient artifact, and only the elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect know a little about it."

The words of the white-clothed Female Sect Master had weakened considerably, clearly lacking the strength to confront Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan said calmly, "If the elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect can know a bit, why can’t I?"

"This—does that count as a reason?"

"Do I need a reason to understand the restoration of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Path? If you must have a reason, fine, I’ll tell you, because I am Zhou Yan!"

Zhou Yan’s words were utterly arrogant.

This statement seemed to carry immense confidence.

"Because I am Zhou Yan!"

This statement struck fiercely in the heart of the white-clothed Female Sect Master, in the hearts of all the Elders and disciples present, and in the heart of Zhuge Xiye standing beside the Female Sect Master!

Indeed, because he is Zhou Yan!

What kind of majesty and confidence this statement conveys.

Who is Zhou Yan?

No one knew.

Yet, when such unknown figure uttered these words, it was particularly convincing.

It seemed that all reasons and explanations paled in comparison to this statement.

"Okay, alright."

The Female Sect Master compromised.

"Since the Heavenly Mechanism Sect has decided to change, I’ll leave all these matters to you. Let Xiye fully cooperate with you; the Elders won’t make things difficult for you, but about the great elders—"

"No need to worry there, I fully support Zhou Yan."

At this moment, the ever-mysterious Third Elder stepped forward and directly stated.

"..."

The white-clothed Female Sect Master was somewhat speechless. She glanced at the Third Elder and said, "Third Elder, you finally show up. If you hadn’t, this boy would have turned the Heavenly Mechanism Sect upside down!"

The Third Elder was indifferent and said, "Better it turned upside down than for the Heavenly Mechanism Sect to be so lifeless. Going on like this is not good."

"Yes, let’s do it this way. Zhou Yan can handle all things; in his hands, nothing will become problematic. Of course, even if something turns wrong, let him handle it."

The Third Elder said.

The white-clothed Female Sect Master whispered, "Third Elder, just who is this Zhou Yan? He’s so abnormal, so formidable!"

"Compared to him, people like us might as well be the most useless of the useless."

The white-clothed Female Sect Master said with a bitter smile.

"Then don’t compare. Actually, I have no idea of his background either, but I follow the ancestor’s instructions—more on that later. Just work well with him, you won’t go wrong!"

The Third Elder spoke a rather enigmatic statement.

The heart of the white-clothed Female Sect Master quivered—was it really the ancestor’s instructions? Which ancestor?

How could the ancestor know about current affairs?

Then what exactly is Zhou Yan’s background?

Could it be that he really has a tremendous origin, or perhaps he’s a mighty being reborn?

The white-clothed Female Sect Master finally began to take Zhou Yan seriously.

To the point where she was somewhat uncertain and suspicious in her heart!
