Chapter 869: Chapter 39: Holy Daughter Sealing
The night was exceptionally dark, the starry sky silent and serene.
Jiang Yuning’s complexion was so poor, just like this dark night.
"I... want to tell you all those secrets, although... although I don’t know much, not completely, and although my memory doesn’t exist as my soul is lost, I don’t want, I don’t want you to remain in that confusion."
"Seeing you like that, even if I haven’t seen it, still makes my heart ache. Let me fulfill this last wish, okay?"
Jiang Yuning’s beautiful yet somewhat mournful voice echoed in Zhou Yan’s heart.
Perhaps, now only Zhou Yan could hear the voice of Jiang Yuning’s heart.
The glimmer of hope in Zhou Yan’s heart was momentarily frozen, like a meteor streaking across the sky, leaving only a brief brilliance, and suddenly there was an unspeakable fear in his heart.
He suddenly felt that what Jiang Yuning was about to say must be something terrifying.
"Actually, I—am only a part of the plan, but I have helplessly fallen in love with you. Initially, the culprit that caused you to lose everything, even the one who persecuted Lei Yan King to lose memories, was me.
My existence was only to monitor you, not to let you fall so quickly, merely to give you—a reason and motivation to live."
After saying this, Jiang Yuning suddenly tried to destroy her last wisp of soul.
But in that instant, Zhou Yan used Soul Path Vast Qi to firmly suppress Jiang Yuning’s actions.
However, this action of his made his own body shatter faster, a large amount of blood flowed out, and his body like a spider web showed dense cracks, with the combat armor on his body long shattered, nearly drowning his bare skin in blood.
"Don’t say such words that make me give up loving you. The so-called truth you speak now, I don’t believe. I know you’re trying to let me give up on you, forget you, and forget the pain."
Zhou Yan softly said, his tone calm, as if he couldn’t feel the pain on his body.
"What I said is true, why don’t you believe it? If there is half a lie from me—let my soul——"
"Shut up! I have a way to save you, even if it means living hand in hand, we must strive to stay together, to live together, and die together."
Jiang Yuning’s pitiful words were forcefully interrupted by Zhou Yan.
"Husband, why do you persist this way?"
Jiang Yuning was rather helpless, but her gaze was gentler as if wanting to see Zhou Yan a few more times and remember him for life after life.
"Regardless of life or death, from now on, we will be together."
Zhou Yan said irrefutably.
"Husband, since that is the case, then Ning’er might still have a method that could count as a chance for survival... Husband, there is a piece of Cold Ice Soul Stone in Ning’er’s chest, take it out, then activate it with Space Power, Ning’er’s soul body can be temporarily sealed. After that, husband hangs the soul stone around your neck, and Ning’er can accompany husband every day. Ning’er, although just a soul body, as long as there’s a chance, can recover gradually... but in this way, Ning’er cannot serve husband for the time being, and it may also burden you."
Jiang Yuning said softly.
It seemed, she had already compromised.
Hearing this, Zhou Yan nodded and said, "Good, if you’d said so earlier, it would have been better."
As Zhou Yan spoke, he gently peeled open Jiang Yuning’s chest, also stained with blood, revealing parts of her proud curve, and in the midst of those white peaks was nestled a jade green Cold Ice Soul Stone.
It was like a Lifebound Soul Stone.
Zhou Yan retrieved the emerald Cold Ice Soul Stone from within the ravine of the jade peaks without severing the soul power threads, instead completely disregarding his injuries, infused all his Soul Path Vast Qi into this Cold Ice Soul Stone.
Not only that, Zhou Yan also simultaneously forcibly executed the Nirvana Rebirth Technique and Undying Rebirth Technique, utilizing the Origin Tracing Technique of Soul Slash Dao, causing Jiang Yuning’s nearly destroyed situation to instantly improve completely.
"Husband, you mustn’t——"
Jiang Yuning exclaimed.
"Pfft——"
Zhou Yan spat out a mouthful of blood, his body shattered, soul fragmented like a web, dissipated all around, unable to gather together.
But this indistinct soul body still retained Zhou Yan’s blurred figure.
"It’s okay, Ning’er, I possess Destruction Sword Body, destruction is also rebirth; it’s just a bit tragic this time, but not fatal."
Zhou Yan’s soul coughed up blood, his soul sea turbulent, nearly dry, all of Xiong Ba, Ping’er, and Zhou Ying within the soul sea were involuntarily expelled, unable to remain.
At this moment, suddenly a stream of clear Soul Liquid Emperor Qi transmitted from within the soul sea, Xuanyuan Ancestor’s soul power rapidly reassembled Zhou Yan’s shattered body and soul, simultaneously granting Zhou Yan a portion of Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy.
Zhou Yan, using this Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, activated the incomplete Path of Incompletion of the Destruction Sword Body, forcibly regained his spirit, and performed the Nirvana Rebirth Technique and Undying Rebirth Technique for himself, finally catching a breath.
However, the extent of Zhou Yan’s weakness was unimaginable, and his realm almost fell out of the Sword God Realm.
"Husband, why are you so foolish..."
Jiang Yuning began to cry, her gentle sobs were so beautiful and moving.
"Ning’er, earlier, you gathered all your soul power into the Soul Stone. Once I take it and unleash Space Power, the force within will backflow, like anointing, and bless me. You intend your death to be my recovery, but you forgot, I can no longer be outwitted now."
Zhou Yan spoke softly, holding Jiang Yuning tightly in his embrace.
As he held Jiang Yuning, it was as if he embraced his entire world.
Zhou Ying, Ping’er, and Xiong Ba, though not fully recovered, were aware of the situation’s progression, all sighing with emotion, silently guarding the two from the throne.
The throne continued to move slowly, as if without end, without boundary.
"Husband, Ning’er knows there’s no saving me now. That I’m still alive is just me barely holding on, really... I can’t hold on any longer."
"Ning’er, I will truly seal you, sealing you into the Soul Stone. I’ll wear it around my neck, and we’ll be together forever."
Zhou Yan said sincerely.
At the same time, he sent a message to Xuanyuan Ancestor, "Ancestor, how is it now?"
"Hm, with your Soul Path Vast Qi, there’s a ten percent certainty. However, in the Great Domain, once you’ve formed your ’Dark God Domain’, also known as the ’Dark God Soul Domain’, you must help me gather some of Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy, or this time I’m afraid it’s a matter of life and death for me."
"Still, being able to enter the Dark God Domain in my lifetime, I’m already very satisfied. Even if I die, it’s worth it."
Xuanyuan Ancestor sighed, then, an endless surge of soul power, Xuanyuan Ancestor seemed to self-transform, forming an endless guardian array with his soul, suppressing Space-Time and Reincarnation, forming a shape akin to the Time-Space Reincarnation Tower, shrouding Jiang Yuning entirely.
In an instant, Jiang Yuning’s delicate body shuddered, her whole being transformed into a stream of light, entering the emerald green Soul Stone.
And a trace of soul power, connected to Zhou Yan’s soul, suddenly transformed into a thread, looped around Zhou Yan’s neck.
"Ning’er, husband will surely protect you well and will save you."
Zhou Yan murmured to himself, his words firm, his gaze profound.
Subsequently, Zhou Yan carefully sensed Xuanyuan Ancestor’s state, only to find that Xuanyuan Ancestor was already on the verge of dying, as if his divinity was about to entirely disappear.
Zhou Yan, in shock, gritted his teeth, nearly drawing all his Blood Qi Power to return the earlier Emperor Xuan Yuan’s Energy to Xuanyuan Ancestor, but Xuanyuan Ancestor could no longer receive any, and instead, the energy was rebounded back.
"Boy, don’t waste it. The Dark God Domain is better than you imagine, and more complete. This Great Domain is a top-tier plane, and a massive planet like a giant hegemon. A single Ancient City within it is no smaller than a plane’s size... you must live up to expectations!"
After Xuanyuan Ancestor transmitted this weak message, he finally fell into endless slumber.
The situation of the Holy Daughter Jiang Yuning was similar, but the Holy Daughter could wake up intermittently for some time, retaining some memory. However, due to an incomplete soul body, these intervals became extremely prolonged.
But, this was already the best outcome.
"Young master... does the lady... still have a chance?"
Ping’er, eyes reddened, asked with a soft sob.
"Don’t cry, Ping’er. Ning’er is currently fine and won’t worsen. Here is the Great Domain, the Dark God Domain, with endless Divine Medicine and Supreme Treasures. I’ll resort to any means to restore Ning’er. I’ll never let you leave me again."
Zhou Yan spoke with irrefutable determination.
"Yes, Ping’er no longer wishes to leave the young master."
"Brother Zhou Yan, right now, the most important thing is for you to recover quickly. Then we select a region to settle down, seek the traces of life, or we’ll get lost in this boundless, desolate starry sky."
Zhou Ying slightly hesitated, her voice trembling as she spoke.
"I know. This is the Chaotic Gap, and with such traversal probably about three days, we’ll reach a trajectory. By then, I’ll control the throne to break the sky and enter the Great Domain. However, in the Great Domain, even an ordinary person possesses a complete Chaos Sword Body. We must learn to act modestly. I’m not worried about you and Ping’er, just Xiong Ba, this bear, loves to cause trouble." Zhou Yan sighed.
Yet Xiong Ba, with a bitter face, seemed to express his deep grievance, but his expression was ignored by all.
"Brother Zhou Yan, tell us about the ’Domain’ above the plane. Once familiar, we’ll surely try to share your burdens, for we too should become independent and strong, mastering our own Tao."
Zhou Ying spoke softly.
"The Great Domain... my knowledge is limited, but I do know that within a Great Domain, there exists the most complete Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, the most complete Heaven and Earth Rules, though they are unfixed. Each Domain Master from a Great Domain is born as a Saint-level being and then comprehends their Original Dao, aligning with their Yin Yang Five Elements Origin, selecting one or more, comprehending thoroughly, to become divine.
The Dark God Domain is truly the Divine Land. After becoming a god, they establish their own Tao, and once their Tao is complete, it becomes a domain, their own Rule Domain.
Within that domain, they are invincible.
Therefore, in the Great Domain, the competition is over whose created rules are stronger, allowing them to destroy others’ domains."
"We comprehend Heaven and Earth rules, but they create Heaven and Earth rules. We strive our whole lives and cannot even reach their starting line... imagine, what status would we have once we enter? Likely, it would be very difficult." Zhou Yan sighed.
