74: Chapter 073: Entering the Sword Origin Pool 74: Chapter 073: Entering the Sword Origin Pool When the first ray of sunlight spilled down, Feng Lingqing opened her spiritual eyes in disbelief.
She then astonishingly discovered that Zhou Yan, who had seed so weak the last ti she saw him, had actually reached the Sword Origin First Layer Heaven Realm!
Unable to hide her shock and joy, she also felt the gravity of her own condition, and she couldn’t help but shiver, her soul trembling!
Such grave injuries, nearly fatal, had recovered in such a short ti!
How much effort had the young master expended on her behalf?
Thinking this, an unspeakable warm energy enveloped her heart, fiercely lting it, making her heart burn hot and soften.
“Young master…
when I last saw you, your realm was very low, and I learned that your father was also destroyed by a Sword Array, and you were further ostracized by the Great Zhou family…
So, in my seemingly dying state, I had already sent out a ssage, hoping the family would send a stronger mber to help you soon, but unfortunately, the ssage did not get out.
Back then, knowing the end and seeing no hope, I didn’t want to discuss any major matters to avoid upsetting you…
So, I kept many things from you, didn’t tell you, just didn’t want you to bear too much.
…
In fact, when you ntioned the mutation of your Qi Column, I knew that your identity was actually quite special.
But, I didn’t expect that in just one month, you would be able to stand your ground within the Great Zhou family that has been targeting you and your father…”
She stood up, looked at Zhou Yan beside her with incredibly tender and peaceful eyes.
Her words were as gentle as the song of a nightingale.
“It was also a asure of desperation; I relied on many external forces, otherwise, you wouldn’t have co so close to death.”
Zhou Yan smiled and directly took her fair and beautiful hand into his.
Recovered from all her injuries, she looked even more dazzlingly beautiful than before.
Her tranquil nature, which seed to lt a person just like her, was completely different from Lee Yan Yun’s strangely changeable deanor.
Feng Lingqing’s face flushed slightly, she nodded and said softly, “Young master, since you are now standing within the Great Zhou family and even managed to get the family head to treat your father, it shows your huge potential.
Therefore, you can take this opportunity to enter the Sword Origin Pool and elevate your realm to the Sword Intent Realm.
By doing so, at the age of sixteen, you’ll have entered the Sword Intent Realm, and you won’t have to worry about the constraints of the laws anymore.”
Having awakened, Feng Lingqing continuously thought about Zhou Yan’s well-being, which made him care even more for her.
“Yes, I’ve thought of that too.”
Zhou Yan nodded and answered seriously.
“Young master, once you reach the Sword Heart Realm, you should co with …
to find your mother.
Is that okay?”
Feng Lingqing pondered for a while before speaking.
“My mother, is she from the Feng Family?”
Zhou Yan pondered and inquired.
“The Feng Family has long rged with your mother’s family.
Although it’s said to be a rger, in reality, the Feng Family has always been just a vassal with little status.
My encounter with Ji Taichong’s attack also had so specific reasons…
Your mother’s family is the Li Family, the second-largest in Wangchuan Mansion.
This place is the small land of Cangyan Mansion, while Wangchuan Mansion is an expanse of vast land.
You’ll understand when you reach the Sword Heart Realm.”
Feng Lingqing’s words left Zhou Yan sowhat stunned.
Only now did he learn that his mother was from Wangchuan Mansion, and moreover, from the Li Family.
Yet, if his mother was from the Li Family, why did she beco a lady of the pavilion, and how did she end up with his father?
Even to this day, as their son, he still didn’t know his mother’s surna?
Had it not been for Feng Lingqing’s revelation, Zhou Yan would still be ignorant.
“Hm, I see.
But I’ve heard that my mother is of low status, an obscure ‘pavilion woman’?”
“You’ll know about that matter later…”
Hearing Zhou Yan’s words, a shade of lancholy flickered in Feng Lingqing’s eyes, and she hesitated montarily, not answering his question.
“Alright, since you’ve recovered from your injuries, you should return to the Li Family.
I…
I will surely visit Wangchuan Mansion later.”
Zhou Yan pondered, looking at the newly risen proud sun, and spoke softly.
The sun, proud and fiery, was slowly rising; its imnse strength was palpable, and one could tell it would reach its zenith, shining gloriously upon heaven and earth.
“Young master, if I had not t you, it would have been another matter.
Now that I have t you and did not die, then I must protect you, ensure that no one bullies you, and watch you grow up—at the very least, until you reach the Sword Heart Realm.”
…
Feng Lingqing said much, but she stopped short on a few key issues.
Feng Lingqing had not died, so she hadn’t rged with Little Xue.
In her eyes, Little Xue was incomplete.
But when she called upon Little Xue, Little Xue’s eyes, full of emotion and worry, struck her profoundly.
She had no power to enable Little Xue’s transformation unless she offered her own soul, refining it into a Sword Spirit, which might help Little Xue.
But now…
Little Xue was complete, which…
seed unbelievable to her.
Then, she recalled Zhou Yan admitting that he had a Soul-controlling Sword Body, and for a mont, she felt as if in a dream.
The young master, who had worried her so much before, now radiated such dazzling brilliance!
Constantly doing things that shocked and astonished her.
In her exceptionally beautiful eyes, there was now a luster like that of resplendent stars.
“Soone is coming, Young Master.
I remain one with the Silver Snow Sword, but now I rely transform into the sword, guarding by your side.
Now…
Young Master, you can rest assured and need not worry about strong individuals below the Sword Heart Second Layer Heaven.
You can cultivate peacefully in the Sword Origin Pool.”
Feng Lingqing’s gaze drifted toward the distance, and then her sowhat ethereal figure, just like Lee Yan Yun’s, vanished outright.
And at this mont, the Silver Snow Sword sparkled with a spiritual luster, bringing an inexplicable joy to Zhou Yan’s heart.
By now, he had a general understanding of his mother’s situation.
That is to say, his mother was in Wangchuan Mansion, a mber of the Li Family, the second most significant clan therein.
Regarding life and death, judging from the series of events he had gone through, his mother was not dead, but she must have encountered insurmountable difficulties.
However, as many have said, since he currently lacked the power to deal with these matters, he should not burden his heart with worries but instead focus on becoming stronger before anything else.
Therefore, he wasn’t in a hurry to delve deeper but rely inferred from subtle clues that his parents were not in any life-threatening danger, which temporarily set his mind at ease.
At this ti, he had no complaints about Feng Lingqing’s actions.
In fact, he was grateful and fond of her.
He picked up the silver-hued Snow Sword, gently caressing its cold blade as one would touch a lover’s skin, with utmost tenderness.
He felt a unique wave of Affectionate Sword Dao and also sensed the affable and gentle breath emanating from the Silver Snow Sword.
He was utterly enchanted.
…
“Young Master Zhou Yan, you’re still comprehending Sword Intent…”
From afar, Zhou Yuan had unexpectedly arrived on a Sword Light, landed at Zhou Yan’s doorstep, and approached on foot with a courteous greeting.
“Oh, it’s Senior Brother Zhou Yuan.
Is there so task the Family Head has instructed you to relay?”
Zhou Yan smiled faintly, suppressing various emotions and his realm aura.
“Not at all, not at all, Young Master Zhou Yan can simply call Zhou Yuan…
Yes, the Family Head ntioned that the materials for the Sword Origin Pool are abundant this ti and has instructed you to take your clanspeople there.
The special Sword Origin Energy there is more than enough for all of you to use,” Zhou Yuan said humbly.
Despite Zhou Yan’s confrontation with Zhou Yuntian, a genius held substantial weight in anyone’s heart.
Zhou Yuan might be proud, but he dared not act impudently before Zhou Yan.
Now, due to a series of Zhou Yan’s actions, he had grown to deeply respect and admire Zhou Yan.
“I see, that is indeed good news.
Zhou Yuan, thank you for bringing this information promptly.
Otherwise, I might have let those disciples enter closed-door cultivation and miss this opportunity, which would have been a massive loss,” Zhou Yan sincerely said.
“Ah…
it’s my duty, my duty.
You being so forgiving despite my previous offenses given your potential and status…
I’m truly grateful.
Young Master Zhou Yan, please attend to your affairs; I’ll go inform the Family Head of your acknowledgnt.”
“Yes, go ahead.
In the future, if there are any uncertainties in your comprehension, I can help you ponder them,” Zhou Yan saw that Zhou Yuan did not hold any animosity towards him despite his conflict with Zhou Yuntian and instead interacted with sincere intentions, which pleased Zhou Yan.
Therefore, he decided to offer Zhou Yuan a small favor.
Zhou Yuan nearly stumbled with excitent upon hearing Zhou Yan’s words.
His face lit up with joy as he bowed deeply and said, “Thank you, thank you Young Master Zhou Yan!
For such a great favor, Zhou Yuan will never forget!”
“No need for formalities, you can go now,” Zhou Yan smiled, saying no more.
Helping others with their comprehension was also a way to train one’s understanding, as others’ perspectives could help expand one’s own thinking.
This was actually greatly beneficial for Zhou Yan himself, but Zhou Yuan’s ecstatic reaction also indirectly reflected Zhou Yan’s current esteed status and exceptional comprehension abilities.
…
Sword Origin Pool.
This was a magnificent ancient relic-like place, situated within a desolate and isolated space.
Having been transported by the Sword Array, Zhou Yan, Zhou Ying, Zhou Xian, and others were all awed by such a place.
By Zhou Yan’s side, Zhou Cangmu’s face was void of excessive sorrow or joy.
“Zhou Yan, Zhou Ying, this ti, after discussions, nearly all the clan’s resources accumulated over a hundred years have been taken out.
Once the Sword Origin Pool cleansing is concluded, the clan won’t be able to open the Sword Origin Pool for at least thirty years…
So, you two must seize this opportunity and make us proud!” Zhou Cangmu said with great expectations.
“Family Head, I will!” Zhou Ying said with a resolute gaze.
“Family Head, rest assured, I guarantee you will be satisfied!” Seeing the imnse Qi Column transforming energy from the Heaven and Earth Creation within the Sword Origin Pool, Zhou Yan’s heart was greatly stirred, and thus he made an extrely firm promise to Zhou Cangmu.
“Good!
Good!
As long as you have such confidence, that’s great!” Zhou Cangmu nodded with a smile, his seemingly youthful face brightening up with joy, and even his sowhat aged eyes glead with anticipatory delight.
Clearly, even without any progress, the Qi Columns of Zhou Yan and Zhou Ying were already the most remarkable in history.
He said this, rely hoping to witness an even better performance, hoping to see—a miracle born once again!
“Well, once you enter from here, you will understand the effects of the Sword Origin Pool.
Here, I must emphasize that the longer one endures within the Sword Origin Pool, the better the results.
The shortest endurance ti recorded is two days, while the longest historical record was set by Zhou Yuntian, which is thirty-one days!
Zhou Yan, Zhou Ying, this ti, try to prolong your stay as much as possible, as it will have an excellent effect on the transformation of your Qi Columns!”
Zhou Cangmu carefully repeated all the points worth noting.
When instructing them, his expression was extrely solemn.
