At that mont, the light descended, enveloping Zhou Yan, and Zhou Yan received another inheritance, the inheritance of the Grandmaster Xingyi Fist Intent.
Because of this inheritance, Zhou Yan seed to fall into an unknown sealing, losing all abilities and freezing in place.
"Ah——"
A soft exclamation ca from afar, and then a purple-clothed woman appeared, looking at all that was happening with an incomparably shocked gaze.
She seed extrely terrified.
"You saw what you shouldn’t have seen, so you must die. But since your task isn’t complete, let the ’False Self’ replace the ’True Self’ for now."
The old voice said.
Then, a jade fragnt suddenly pierced into the brow of the purple-clothed girl.
At that mont, the purple-clothed girl froze for a second and then fell to the ground.
After a mont, a white-clothed woman descended from the Void; she was equally beautiful but suddenly entered the body of the purple-clothed woman.
After another mont, the purple-clothed woman awoke, walking towards the Cold Pond in confusion, seemingly having forgotten everything that had happened before.
anwhile, Zhou Yan was no longer on the stone wall but still in the Cold Pond.
Within the Cold Pond, Zhou Yan was its eyes closed in contemplation, seemingly in a state of sudden enlightennt, with the Swordman’s realm entering a new realm.
"Zhou Yan, you’re still cultivating here? Pushing your potential like this—"
The purple-clothed girl looked down coldly at Zhou Yan and said.
However, her words were interrupted by Zhou Yan.
"Doesn’t all of this seem familiar to you?"
"Zhou Yan, what do you an?!"
"You should know what I an in your heart. Even if you don’t know now, you will eventually."
Zhou Yan smiled, moved his figure, and flew onto the Cold Pond, standing next to Zhou Lingyi.
Zhou Lingyi’s purple skirt fluttered, and she instinctively retreated a few steps, covering her undeveloped chest with her hands as if worried Zhou Yan would do sothing beastly.
"I didn’t know before, but just now, I saw sothing I shouldn’t have, and suddenly thought of a question. This question will help find what I lost."
"As for you, you’re no longer yourself, you don’t know that yet?"
Zhou Yan shook his head and passed by Zhou Lingyi.
At that mont, Zhou Lingyi froze, unable to comprehend the situation, but soon her face turned pale.
Then, Zhou Lingyi suddenly caught up to Zhou Yan, blocking his path, and said, "Tell what you saw. If I’m not myself, then who am I? Or rather, who is ?"
Zhou Lingyi’s youthful face bore a hint of confusion, while her beautiful eyes seed to reflect the figure of two Zhou Yans.
Her question was directed at Zhou Yan, but it inadvertently reached deep into his spirit.
"Who am I? Who is ?"
It seed like an easy question to answer, yet it was extrely difficult to respond to.
"If I’m not myself, wouldn’t that render my existence aningless? If you deny the aning of my existence, then there’s no point in living."
Zhou Lingyi said inexplicably.
She spoke to herself, but those words gave Zhou Yan quite a shock.
"No matter who you are, since you’re alive, you must have a purpose for living. Maybe the aning of life lies in each person defining it themselves; only then does life have significance. Otherwise, life itself has no inherent aning."
Zhou Yan felt his mindset was affected by the mories of Lee Sha from his past life and fragnts of the Grandmaster’s mory, completely losing his sense of self, so he could only temporarily tell Zhou Lingyi this.
Yet, at that mont of inheriting mories, Zhou Yan indeed felt like his soul had exited his body, witnessing a white-dressed fairy replacing Zhou Lingyi.
But he kept this scene in his soul.
"You think my life has aning, so I’ll live for you. Thank you, Zhou Yan. I’ve never considered the aning of my life before, but you seem like the sovereign of life, giving my existence aning, making my existence purposeful."
Zhou Lingyi’s tone turned from cold to incredibly gentle as she spoke.
Her eyes were filled with affection, even having an urge to embrace him.
Zhou Yan was sowhat scared by this situation, stepping back a few paces, creating distance from Zhou Lingyi.
"Hmm, it’s late, the night is cool, you should head back early. As long as you believe you are Zhou Lingyi, no one can shake your existence’s value."
Zhou Yan said instinctively.
Zhou Lingyi paused, then obediently nodded, turned around, and walked away step by step.
At that mont, Zhou Yan vaguely saw a white-dressed ghost-like beautiful woman on Zhou Lingyi’s back.
The beautiful woman clung to Zhou Lingyi’s back but turned around while Zhou Lingyi walked forward and smiled gently at Zhou Yan.
The smile was pale and tragic.
Zhou Yan felt a chill in his heart, nervously watching, yet seed to have blurred vision, as Zhou Lingyi’s purple figure had already disappeared into the distance.
The cold pond remained the cold pond.
Wild cranes continued to fly.
After Zhou Yan sensed that unique energy within his body, he forced it out with great will, only to see an aged, spectral figure.
"Brother, don’t deceive anymore. I already rember the things from my previous life. In the end, Lee Sha died, and the one who lived only lived as a substitute, living out an illusion! His life was so tragic, why live at all?"
Zhou Yan said with a bitter smile, his voice trembling.
"So, I’d rather my past life be false, so there wouldn’t be a reality in this life."
Zhou Yan continued.
"Brother, who would have thought you could carry the mories of your previous life even after annihilation, those mories have already transford into endless ancestor blood, scattered across Shen Zhou. Are we brothers destined to fail?"
The aged figure, sowhat hunched and trembling, spoke with stuttering words.
"I haven’t acquired all the mories; I’ve forgotten too much about the Thunder Fla Breaking Path Mountain, and the mories don’t connect. What I can recover is perhaps just so unforgettable mories. After I beca heartless, I rember nothing."
Zhou Yan said.
"Then... at the beginning of this life, you already know part of the truth. Can you continue on the path? Now you’re not even an entry-level cultivator, and the road ahead is so long."
The aged figure, which was a wisp of Lee Ran’s void soul, said.
"Those who awaken are closer to transcendence and should beco strong quickly. Moreover, I carry the Evil Slayer Sword, the Xuanyuan Sword of Shen Zhou, right? Unfortunately, it is now damaged, and parts are missing, but this sword, with its will, should still be able to slay so divine beings."
Zhou Yan said with a serene smile.
Lee Ran was silent for a mont and said, "The matters of the Jiang family, the most uncertain factor is Jiang Shang. I calculated everything, not expecting his true identity to be... Sigh, if not for this, last life’s turmoil would not have happened."
"Those matters are aningless to discuss, but since I have relived this life, I indeed should walk the path of the Thirteen Souls. I know my purpose, and I won’t be deterred, only more determined to walk on, though the road ahead is bleak. Don’t linger for the scenery; just move on.
No matter how beautiful the scenery is, if there is no intention to view it, then the scenery, however beautiful, is just scenery. And this is entirely different from my ultimate goal."
"The Heartless Sword Dao is ultimately an excellent path. Unfortunately, in my last life, I chose it too late, so in this life, I’ll walk it well from the start."
"So, your guardian soul slash is aningless; you ended your life to provide energy."
Zhou Yan pondered and said.
Lee Ran lightly nodded and said, "I’m sorry for your mother Li Suniu’s matters. Your daughter can only revive in this world through sealing, a very painful process that will ultimately challenge your Heartless Sword Dao to the extre—"
"You said it’s just a process, not a result. As long as the result is good, the process doesn’t matter."
Zhou Yan replied.
He then sighed deeply and said, "If I didn’t have Lee Sha’s mories from my previous life, I think you would have laid out a path for , a path of betrayal by all, finally stepping into the Heartless Sword Dao. But did you ever think that once one walks out into the Heartless Sword Dao, it might ultimately be the wrong path? Derivation is ultimately not reality, even if a single point radiates into multiple universes covering all possibilities, but in this world, the power of destiny, qi fortune, and heavenly chanism will ultimately affect the occurrences of many events.
Then, perhaps not a Lei Yan King, but a bloodthirsty emperor."
"The intention is good, although I feel I have lost many things, but brother, I want to say, your approach was wrong from the beginning."
"However, everything has just begun. There’s still ti to correct it."
Zhou Yan said sadly.
"Is there still ti? Perhaps, as you say, but it’s already... too late."
The spectral Lee Ran suddenly understood a key point, his eyes briefly showed a sorrowful look but quickly concealed it.
After all, Zhou Yan now is just an ant who hasn’t stepped into the cultivation realm.
"Nothing has begun, so there’s still ti, and it’s not too late."
Zhou Yan said confidently.
He didn’t know where his confidence ca from, perhaps in the unseen realm, he had already gained a kind of sovereign strength.
"When the false becos true, the true will also turn false; when there’s nothing, it can beco sothing, and when there’s sothing, it can return to nothing. Is the current true, or false? Is this world true, or false? Perhaps, my true self should also do sothing."
Lee Ran murmured to himself in his heart, then directly released a wave of energy, penetrating into Zhou Yan’s forehead.
In the center of his forehead, life soul liquid and spring water began to flow out. Thunder Fla Soul Liquid flowed into Zhou Yan’s dantian, causing a change, forming a unique soul sea.
In the soul sea, flas appeared, and within the flas, a Tao lotus manifested.
The Tao lotus began to grow, connecting with the Sword Origin Pool energy of the Great Zhou family, opening the Spiritual Lotus Secret Realm, and extracting the power of Linghe Lotus Seed, birthing purple flas.
"This was all I left for you, once able to resolve your crises, but now, you’ve accomplished everything in advance, choosing the Heartless Sword Dao. So, I’ve lost my function; this path, brother, you must walk steadfastly, never look back."
"I will."
"Then we’ll et again on the immortal path." Lee Ran hesitated slightly, ready to dissolve the cluster of void soul energy.
"Wait, there are two things, please answer ."
Zhou Yan suddenly shouted to stop Lee Ran.
"Speak."
Lee Ran said.
"First, was it you who acted in Zhou Lingyi’s previous matters?" Zhou Yan asked.
Lee Ran hesitated slightly, and said, "Those are just scenery, aren’t they unimportant?"
Zhou Yan was silent for a mont, and said, "But I instinctively feel that it’s not just scenery."
Lee Ran laughed and said, "Then you’ll instinctively feel that Jiang Yuning, Sword Spirit Xiao Xue are not just scenery, and also, you definitely won’t think that your father in this life, Zhou Wangchen, is just scenery."
Zhou Yan remained silent, and then said, "Alright, consider that question answered. Now, for the second question, I feel I’ve lost sothing important, but I don’t know what it is myself. Can you tell ?"
