Evil Venerable of the Sword Dao

Chapter 1633 - 143: Intelligent Heavenly Road

Thirty-Three Heavenly Road, under Zhou Yan’s methods, was slowly being perfected.

And following Zhou Yan through this scene, Zhuge Xiye was completely captivated by the dazzling change in environment.

From the thirty-third level onwards, Zhuge Xiye was utterly immersed in this incredibly beautiful world.

Later, she seemed to lose her self-awareness, quietly following Zhou Yan, watching him change the Heavenly Road time and again without any reaction.

Yet instinctively she carried out the series of tasks she needed to do, such as handing the Heavenly Mechanism Soul Stone to Zhou Yan, or assisting Zhou Yan with minor matters.

This state was like an addiction, completely forgetting herself.

It also resembled a state of enlightenment, so Zhou Yan didn’t wake Zhuge Xiye but let her follow like a ’walking dead’.

In this process, Zhou Yan journeyed back and forth, spending nearly half a day to completely modify the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road.

In fact, if just following the initial plan’s projection changes, it would take less than an hour. The reason it took so long was actually due to Zhou Yan’s ’chip’.

To reinforce the Heavenly Road with ’intelligence’ was what Zhou Yan thought of through Zhou Wangchen’s Holy Spirit method of creating mechanical puppets.

Zhou Yan also knew that once the Heavenly Road had its own cognitive ability, the judgment on disciples of the Heavenly Mechanism Sect would be extremely precise, avoiding any ’misjudgment’.

After all, many guardian ancient arrays either have fixed methods of entry or their destructive power couldn’t differentiate friend from foe well, causing substantial self-damage while eliminating enemies.

But after Zhou Yan handled the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road with this method, there was no such danger at all.

In various aspects, Zhou Yan had very detailed deductions, coupled with the derivation ability of the Heavenly Mechanism Skill itself, the power of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road now was imaginable.

The last Heavenly Road was the thirteenth, slightly special, but Zhou Yan managed without any trouble.

And until leaving the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road, Zhuge Xiye still hadn’t regained her senses.

Zhou Yan skillfully navigated the Heavenly Mechanism Skill, conjuring a cloud of Soul Energy, taking Zhuge Xiye back to his Secondary Main Peak.

In the Secondary Main Peak, Zhou Yan settled Zhuge Xiye in a place amidst the peaks, then did not immediately proceed to the Heavenly Mechanism Hall, waiting for the effects of the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road to manifest before making the next change.

Zhuge Xiye was so immersed in such enlightenment that she was completely engrossed, dazedly waking up only half an hour after returning to the Secondary Main Peak.

Upon waking up, she realized her own series of embarrassing performances.

Though knowing it’s shameful, she had already grown accustomed to it.

After waking up, Zhuge Xiye did not seek out Zhou Yan, but instead immediately went to the Sect Master Hall to report a series of situations to the Sect Master Zhuge Qiyan.

Zhuge Xiye finished explaining the specifics to Zhuge Qiyan, who immediately had a radiant gleam in her eyes, summoning the nine elders and some hall masters to directly convey the situation.

Such a statement evidently made the nine elders and hall masters very skeptical since although Zhou Yan had some skill, everyone else believed he lacked the capacity to change the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road.

What’s more, the Thirty-Three Heavenly Road seemed to have no visible change at all, and just like before, only a barren gate guarded one of the Heavenly Roads. Can this be considered a transformational rebirth?

It’s somewhat exaggerated.

Not only some elders and hall masters but even those who initially had great hope for Zhou Yan, evidently didn’t believe in this.

If not for Zhuge Qiyan, the Sect Master, announcing such news, they would probably sneer and mock.

However, Zhuge Qiyan seemed to have anticipated this scene long ago.

She smiled slightly and said, "Since the Path of Heavenly Mechanism has already been transformed again, we, as the first cultivators trying it, should naturally experience it carefully."

"Zhou Yan has given us an opportunity, today’s entry for cultivators doesn’t consider talent or ability, nor incurs any Soul Energy loss. But today is the only chance. I’ll choose a few outstanding disciples later to enter together."

"Additionally, Zhou Yan said, this entry isn’t that complicated. For us in the Heavenly Mechanism Sect, being members of the sect, simply visualize the Heavenly Mechanism Gate in mind, imprint your Soul Energy, then obtain the Yellow Bell’s approval, and you can enter."

"This, naturally also filters more devout disciples to enter. But for now, it’s still in the testing understanding phase, so we’re not planning to open it immediately to all disciples, as this requires lots of time and strong energy, for now, the Path of Heavenly Mechanism has just stabilized. Zhou Yan said specifically, it will take three days to fully stabilize."

Zhuge Qiyan conveyed everything Zhuge Xiye had informed her, with no omissions.

"What, entering the Path of Heavenly Mechanism to train with the soul, disregarding death? Then, what possible effect—no wait! Disregarding death, wouldn’t that provide an extremely terrifying sharpening effect!"
