Chapter 917: Chapter 85: Chen Tianjian and Chen Wanxiao

Burial Immortal Land, is a place dedicated to burying immortals.

In this world, the legends of immortals are very elusive.

The level corresponding to immortals is the Domain Master level. Domain Master is a legend, a myth.

When Zhou Yan arrived at the peak of Gui Die Mountain, the other disciples were already there.

“Zhou Yan, it’s good that you’re here, come quickly, the Sect Master and the grand elders will be coming soon.”

Feng Yunyan spoke to Zhou Yan with a smile.

Seeing Feng Yunyan like this, Sun Chengfeng, not far from Feng Yunyan, couldn’t help but change his expression slightly.

But no one paid attention to him.

Feng Cailing, Feng Caixuan, and Mo Yuyao, the three young women, couldn’t help but look at Zhou Yan when he arrived.

Among them, Mo Yuyao instinctively glanced at the lower part of Zhou Yan after seeing him, and after doing so, a lovely blush immediately appeared on her face.

Coincidentally, Sun Chengfeng saw this scene, and his expression was somewhat visibly displeased.

However, Sun Chengfeng was very skilled at hiding his emotions, even if unhappy, he still presented himself with great demeanor, appearing very aloof.

“Hmm, I came late, making my senior sister and junior sisters wait for a long time.”

Zhou Yan clasped his fists slightly, then his figure moved, arriving beside Feng Yunyan.

At this moment, a faint golden light suddenly swept across the sky, followed by two white-robed shadows traversing heaven and earth like Sword Light. In an instant, the Sword Light condensed and turned into two young men in white sword robes.

These two young men were extraordinarily handsome, with an outstanding aura, exuding a powerful presence that inspired awe.

“Sect Master, grand elder.”

Feng Yunyan slightly bowed, speaking with a tone full of respect.

“Hmm, Yunyan Fairy, this ‘Burial Immortal Land’ is a competition among various Great Sects under the War Soul Hall. I’ve received news that the other Sects are unfriendly towards our Sky Sword Mountain. What happened in previous years might happen again this time. So the grand elder and I will relay this message to each elder’s mountain, so you can decide whether to send your cherished disciples inside. If you do, there might be unexpected fallen events.”

The white-robed man spoke in a deep voice, filled with strong authority.

As he spoke, when his gaze swept over Sun Chengfeng, Feng Cailing, and others, it suddenly shrank when it landed on Zhou Yan, as if he encountered someone extremely shocking.

However, this change in his gaze lasted only for a moment, something an average cultivator, like Sun Chengfeng, could not notice, but three people did.

The first was the person beside the white-robed man, the grand elder.

The second was Feng Yunyan.

The third was Zhou Yan himself.

“Not bad, very good, this time you’ve recruited two very promising disciples, one of whom is a diamond in the rough, destined for great achievements.”

The white-robed man originally planned to leave immediately after passing on the message, but suddenly he paused and spoke this way.

Feng Yunyan was slightly taken aback, contemplating in her heart, and said, “Indeed, although Zhou Yan is of the Thirteen Soul Qi, his comprehension ability is extremely astonishing; his future achievements are indeed limitless.”

“Zhou Yan? So you’re called Zhou Yan, but this name isn’t very pleasant. If it were ‘Lee Yi’, it would sound much better. Hmm, I’m just saying casually, Zhou Yan my young friend need not mind, you should cultivate well, and you will undoubtedly achieve great success.”

The Sect Master of Sky Sword Mountain glanced at Zhou Yan, speaking with a look of appreciation.

Zhou Yan slightly nodded, looked at this Sky Sword Sect Master, also known as ‘Chen Tianjian’, and said with a smile, “I’ve long heard of the famous Sky Sword Venerate, and now seeing such an outstanding individual like the Sect Master, it is a great honor for Zhou Yan. I wonder if the Sect Master’s ‘True Void Heavenly Prohibition’ domain has achieved great success?”

Zhou Yan asked Sky Sword Sect Master Chen Tianjian with a light smile.

“Oh, you even know this, quite impressive. It seems there is indeed some connection between us; however, I’ve forgotten many things, but your face is familiar to me. The ‘True Void Heavenly Prohibition’ is ‘Soul Path Wannian Long’; a single layer of Soul Path takes thousands of years of sensing, not something that can be comprehended in a short time. Alright, Grand Elder Wan Xiao, let’s go.”

Chen Tianjian sighed a bit, but his gaze was encouraging, hoping Zhou Yan would strive hard.

Meanwhile, the other young man was looking at Zhou Yan, his eyes flickering as if not knowing what he was thinking.

Even when Chen Tianjian reminded him to leave, he seemed indifferent.

“Grand Elder Chen Wanxiao, do you have any unresolved issues?”

Chen Tianjian asked again.

The other handsome man only then slightly regained his senses and said, “This person really resembles someone I once knew. Back then, I was very old, and my surname wasn’t ‘Chen’ but ‘Hou’. I seem to remember that a section of the Yuan Ci Secret Realm collapsed, turning into the Primordial Magnetic Pole Light, becoming a place of guardianship… Strange, this seems less like the past and more like the future?”

Grand Elder Chen Wanxiao’s expression slightly grave, only transmitted a message to Chen Tianjian.

Chen Tianjian touched his chin, showing a thoughtful look, and said, “Everything has rules; sometimes the same things happen, but it shouldn’t be this way. Moreover, the original rules of the Dark God Domain are ‘all things are law, original intent is the Heavenly Dao’. It’s as if a sword is placed in front of me, but I believe that this sword isn’t actually in this place but in another place.

When my soul strongly believes this, then this sword won’t be here but will be where I think it should exist.

But when I realize that place actually doesn’t have a sword and it should be in the original place, there is a feeling of space-time distortion.

So, where exactly is the sword? Actually, what does it matter where the sword is? As long as I have the sword in my heart, it’s already enough.”

Chen Tianjian quietly pondered, offering a rule he comprehended himself as an explanation to Grand Elder Chen Wanxiao.

Chen Wanxiao, after listening, agreed and said, “Perhaps the Sect Master’s words are correct, and I have been too stubborn.”

“Indeed, from my perspective, the familiarity this person gives me should originate from the Divine Fist Venerable. However, this is a forbidden figure, and no cultivator would think of this, which is why it is so. He shares the Thirteen Soul Qi with the Divine Fist Venerable. Anyway, let’s not mention it. These matters are not for us to worry about; let’s treat him as an ordinary disciple. After all, encountering one or two similar cultivators in the endless sea of cultivators is extremely normal.”

Chen Tianjian laughed and said.

“Makes sense. Well then, Sect Master, shall we leave?”

“Alright.”

…

The two exchanged soul messages, yet unaware that this soul communication could not elude Zhou Yan’s soul sensing.

Zhou Yan did not intentionally sense, but his divine soul was close to an immortal level, higher than theirs, so this soul exchange was as clear as speaking aloud before Zhou Yan.

However, Zhou Yan did not show any different emotions, acting as if he had not heard anything.

Moreover, Zhou Yan noticed that Chen Tianjian and Chen Wanxiao were focused on him, Zhou Yan, causing Sun Chengfeng’s face to turn almost green. This person, though, was quite enduring, yet his ability to endure and his technique to conceal were really not up to par.

This failure, along with his ability in that aspect, are both poor, yet he feels self-assured and shows off a bit.

This is simply courting disaster.

The Sect Master and Grand Elder left, and Feng Yunyan began inscribing a large number of void array patterns to traverse the void.

“As for the matter of the Burial Immortal Land this time, I won’t say much. Pay attention to the two forces of ‘Wanshou Mountain’ and ‘Sword Emperor Sect’. Try not to provoke their people. But if you do provoke them, then show no mercy and kill them.”

“If you don’t act, they will, and won’t give you any time to prepare. Of course, if you are at a certain distance and they don’t actively cause trouble, then restrain yourselves a bit.

This time, from my disciples of Feng Yunyan, be warned against internal strife. If upon return I find any disciples have engaged in internal conflict, don’t blame me, Feng Yunyan, for turning hostile. Then I won’t care if you are top genius or my favorite disciple, all will be executed without mercy!”

Feng Yunyan said coldly, her gaze intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Sun Chengfeng and Feng Cailing, obviously giving a hint, seemingly aware of the discord between these two.

Feng Cailing snorted coldly, not speaking.

Sun Chengfeng, however, had a faint indifferent smile at the corner of his mouth, seemingly disdainful.

After Feng Yunyan finished, she waved her delicate hand, immediately causing the heavens and earth to twist, the void array patterns activated, enshrouding Zhou Yan and five others, traversing a strange space like time travel, descending in an ancient place filled with an aura of annihilation.

This desolate place was filled with an incredibly forlorn, barren atmosphere.

The cold wind like a knife, cutting across faces like knife slashes.

Even with Zhou Yan’s strong divine body, there was a faint sense of pain, proving that this was no friendly place.

“In this place, the Yin Qi is heavy, like a dead Desolate Dragon lying across the earth, penetrating the spine of the world—according to the Qi Fortune theory, this is an ancient cursed land! If something happens here, I’m afraid all sect disciples under the War Soul Hall of the Dark God Domain will perish here.”

Zhou Yan’s eyes narrowed, immediately spotting a clue. However, this viewpoint caused Zhou Yan’s Eye of Destruction to feel a stinging pain, growing stronger to the point where if his eyes weren’t withdrawn immediately, they might go blind.

Zhou Yan’s heart sank, and he felt breathless, unable to control the cold sweat on his forehead, almost causing his whole body to tremble.

“Hmph, trash. In the Burial Immortal Land, you were almost scared stupid by this aura, utterly disgraceful.”

Zhou Yan’s performance, in Sun Chengfeng’s eyes, appeared as one of fear.

Therefore, Sun Chengfeng laughed coldly and condescendingly, his smile filled with endless disdain, his gaze directly conveying this meaning to Zhou Yan.
