Chapter 1644: Chapter 150: Terrifying! (2)
However, the temperament and quality of Zhou Yan’s soul are genuine, causing such an effect.
Coupled with being instantly killed by Zhou Yan once on the Heavenly Mechanism’s Thirty-Three Heavenly Road, it’s not surprising to feel this way. freewebnovёl.ƈom
Under such circumstances, these Saint Masters naturally became increasingly respectful towards Zhou Yan.
Zhou Yan didn’t care about these things at all and didn’t take them to heart. His indifference and calmness didn’t seem pretentious. freewёbnoνel.com
In fact, it is indeed so, because Zhou Yan truly doesn’t care and indeed doesn’t take it to heart.
It is precisely because of this that he can directly suppress these ten or more Saint Masters.
"This is quite good. This time, I have rebuilt the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect. Originally, I planned to let the Sect Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect announce it to the world and then open the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road for training.
The Thirty-Three Heavenly Road, you have actually experienced it too, it’s the previous Void environment, where the soul can enter and not necessarily die if the soul perishes."
"However, if the will is weak, when the soul dies, it will also die in reality. Only those with strong will, who can realize they are only in ’virtual death’ and not true death, can withstand such a trial."
"The Heavenly Mechanism Sect can easily surpass all cultivators with this kind of trial alone, but that would lose the competition."
"There are two reasons to open the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road. One is to reduce the training resources of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect disciples and enhance the overall adaptability of the cultivators in this realm to the Soul Path Void, preparing for stepping into higher-level spaces in the future. The other reason is survival of the fittest. The environment of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect is now good enough that without external pressure, it will quickly decay and collapse internally."
"You have also personally experienced that effect, so you can select some disciples. Each week, there are a certain number of quotas to enter the Heavenly Mechanism Sect for training. The qualification for training relies on the Yellow Bell of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and the test of the Heavenly Mechanism Skill on the Heavenly Road."
"The number of quotas won’t be too many. One sect will have ten quotas per week. With you over ten people, I will put down double the resources for the sect, providing twenty quotas each week."
"Of course, if the contribution is sufficient, a recommendation qualification can also be obtained. The so-called contribution is the distance travelled on the Heavenly Road, the number of trials, etc. At that time, detailed information will be presented."
...
Zhou Yan pondered for a moment and decisively explained.
Then he continued, "You can promote this matter together. The specific situation doesn’t need to mention me. After handling this matter well, I will leave the Heavenly Mechanism Sect and freely travel the world in search of my own Tao."
"Ah--"
At this time, upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words, the ten or more Saint Masters immediately became extremely agitated and shocked.
After quite a while, the ten or more Saint Masters genuinely admired and revered Zhou Yan.
Because Zhou Yan’s way of speaking and his demeanor, etc., are simply too awe-inspiring.
Not to mention, the way Zhou Yan handles things directly bypasses the Sect Master and Elders of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, as if whatever he says must be feasible.
This is simply—the first person of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect!
In fact, with Zhou Yan’s ’status’, how isn’t this reasonable?
Therefore, these Saint Masters immediately bowed again to express their gratitude, and their feeling of gratitude was indeed beyond expression.
As for the matter of being killed once before, no Saint Master put it in mind anymore.
At the status of a Saint Master, they all are achievers of great causes, not paying attention to trifles. Let alone being taught by a ’Holy Ancestor’-rank Old Monster, which was just considered as paying tuition.
Thus, these Saint Masters respected Zhou Yan even more.
All of this was also within Zhou Yan’s sensing.
"Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, we old folks will definitely handle all of this well. Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, you can rest assured."
These Saint Masters knew that with Zhou Yan’s current temperament, he naturally doesn’t wish to expose his identity, so they cooperatively addressed him as ’Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son’, though their respect in their words was extremely apparent.
Thus, Zhou Yan was quite satisfied.
Of course, whether the identity is exposed or not, he doesn’t care at all now because he knows that ultimately, no one imagined he would still be alive.
Even if it’s exposed directly now, those top experts won’t believe it.
The final scene of death was true annihilation, and no one imagined that Lee Ran would use that Emperor Blood Crystal Coffin to save him, and even replaced his obliteration with the Void Thunder Tribulation, preserving a wisp of residual soul, allowing him to return to this world.
This entire turn of events was something only a brother with a mysterious Blood Crystal Coffin would do.
Zhou Yan will always remember that look in his brother in the midst of the endless Void Thunder Tribulation.
That gaze seemed to carry infinite gratification and release, as well as joy and relief.
Because, in the last step, Lee Ran succeeded, successfully rescuing Zhou Yan in such a state, thus deceiving everyone.
But the price...
Thinking of this, Zhou Yan’s entire bloodline suddenly surged, and a hint of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate’s violent aura in the soul suddenly leaked out.
"Ah--"
In an instant, the souls of the ten or more Saint Masters present almost all trembled, about to explode and shatter.
The ten or more people were originally extremely excited and exhilarated, but in an instant, they almost perished, utterly terrified.
Almost uncontrollably, the ten or more Saint Masters all knelt down, crying out in misery, bleeding from their seven orifices.
"Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, spare us—"
Among them, three Saint Masters immediately begged for mercy, terrified beyond measure, trembling all over.
At this moment, that momentum was simply world-destroying.
If they hadn’t completely doubted before, now they believed completely and thoroughly.
Even if Zhou Yan denied he wasn’t an Old Monster, these Saint Masters wouldn’t disbelieve it at all.
"Oh—"
Zhou Yan seemed a bit dull, then he restrained all his aura.
Actually, this turmoil and instability of the soul was caused by devouring too much on the Heavenly Road, and also due to missing his brother Lee Ran, which reminded him of that tragic scene of final failure he saw at the core hub of the Ancestor Dragon Warship, giving rise to extreme resentment, unleashing the violent side of the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate’s soul completely.
After this outburst, there will be no more negative emotions appearing again, only some new negative emotions will appear, but they won’t be as intense and terrifying as this time.
Those will belong to this time’s Zhou Yan’s emotions, rather than the Holy Spirit Evil Venerate’s negative emotions.
For this reason, Zhou Yan felt somewhat relieved because that feeling of suppressed violent emotion had finally been released.
It’s just, nearly shattered the ten or more Saint Masters on the scene.
Zhou Yan came to his senses, sighed, and said desolately: "You may rise, I’m ultimately old, and some abilities are still somewhat out of control."
"No, no, Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, you, you are still so young. In the future, you will surely progress further!"
"Yes, yes, Heavenly Mechanism Saint Son, don’t take it to heart. It’s us, the younger generation, who are too useless, unable to withstand even a bit of your emotional fluctuation."
...
Immediately, the Saint Masters—suspicious, pale-faced—got up, utterly terrified to death.
After this fright, everyone felt as if they had snatched life back from the brink of death.
It’s just that, damn, Zhou Yan is too terrifying, might flip and strike lethally unexpectedly!
Even though it wasn’t intentional, precisely because of that, it was terrifying!
With such an Old Monster, who knows their temperament? Perhaps after a sudden outrage, it would lead directly to an unbelievably tragic end of death?
Therefore, these Saint Masters were already extremely uneasy and dared not stay with Zhou Yan any longer.
Everyone was trembling, unable to remain calm, all shivering.
Saint Masters, even though they are Saint Masters, are afraid of death. After all, the aura Zhou Yan exuded before, speaking of murder, even world destruction, they believed he could fully accomplish it.
This is too terrifying!
"It’s okay, you can go, no need to fear. Earlier was just some matters, thought of a few past enemies."
Zhou Yan waved his hand casually.
The ten or more Saint Masters immediately offered wry smiles.
But with Zhou Yan’s words, the ten or more Saint Masters immediately bowed several times, then quickly vanished as residual shadows.
That speed of fleeing was indeed tens of times faster than when they came here.
It was practically at a spitting blood, frantic pace!
