The enthusiasm of the scene far exceeded Zhou Yan's imagination.

Yet, in those extremely fervent eyes, Zhou Yan saw various emotions of excitement, satisfaction, and longing.

Zhou Yan was not a dull person; on the contrary, he possessed a very strong wisdom, so he instantly connected it to the endless turmoil of the Ancient Immortal Pond and recalled the immense silhouette of the light wheel from his past.

Zhou Yan extended his sensing power outward and instantly sensed the cause of all these things within the hearts of some sect cultivators with weaker wills.

These causes were entirely consistent with the reasons he had figured out.

Zhou Yan realized that the Sword Dao Profound Meaning of Great Perfection had such a tremendous impact on the strength of a sect!

Even those Elders and disciples who had previously mocked and scorned him were now extremely excited, looking at him with a kind of fervent reverence and admiration.

Zhou Yan also just realized the immense significance of this Supreme Dao for a sect.

Throughout countless ages, no cultivator had comprehended more than twenty percent.

The so-called twenty percent might just be wishful thinking; in Zhou Yan's view, their comprehension was less than one percent, as understanding such merit and Qi Fortune was not so easy, unless the corresponding innate constitution was possessed.

But having only one kind of constitution could not possibly lead to understanding anything because it lacked the conditions to open this Tao.

So, in an instant, Zhou Yan understood everything.

He was full of emotion, touched, yet deeply moved.

"Zhou Yan, congratulations, you indeed did not disappoint us. You even exceeded our expectations by far! The five percent you mentioned is really too humble of you!"

"Indeed, Zhou Yan, it was our fault, I was the first to doubt you, I'm sorry, I was wrong. I was senile, not thinking for the good of the sect and instead targeting you everywhere. The great elders were right; if a sect's own elders ostracize the sect's disciples, the sect won't last long."

"Zhou Yan, I'm sorry, I was wrong!"

"Zhou Yan, I was senile, too profit-driven, blinded by greed, overly self-inflated."

"Zhou Yan..."

Various apologies came from the Elders, even personally bowing in apology, full of sincerity.

With Zhou Yan's strong sensing power, he also sensed their heartfelt apologies.

It was only then that Zhou Yan was truly moved; he realized this Great Perfection of Enlightenment had caused a massive sensation, truly awakening some self-righteous, stubborn elders.

Moreover, after the Elders apologized, many disciples also sincerely apologized. Their voices mixed in with the applause, cheers, and acclaim, making them hard to hear, but their apologies were still incredibly sincere, as if the whole sect suddenly underwent a transformation, gaining genuine awareness.

Zhou Yan was truly shocked! He finally understood why Chen Tianjian urged him to comprehend as much as possible. This was a true wake-up call, and when everyone truly looked up to him, Zhou Yan, they would genuinely reflect on themselves, embodying the power of example.

Zhou Yan was deeply touched and also realized that this might not only be due to this reason, but also because of his Great Sun Tathagata Buddha's image that shocked others, who perhaps saw him, Zhou Yan, as an exceedingly magnanimous person, while they themselves felt deeply sinful and beyond redemption.

"Merit Power... Wow, how powerful!"

Zhou Yan's heart trembled as he analyzed ninety percent of the true reasons, feeling an ironic mix of emotions.

Nonetheless, because of this, he felt if he did not do something for the sect, he would truly fail these disciples who were so supportive and sincere.

He thought and deeply bowed to all the cultivators and Elders alike.

He said nothing, but this gesture made all the cultivators concentrate, hold their breath, and become solemn. They then concentrated their gaze on Zhou Yan and bowed deeply in return, followed by an unimaginably thunderous applause.

"Good, good, good!"

Chen Tianjian was extremely excited, Chen Wanxiao's face blossomed with a smile, and even the expression on the old face seemed incredibly endearing.

Meanwhile, Feng Yunyan, Feng Cailing, Feng Caixuan, and Little Junior Sister Mo Yuyao from Gui Die Mountain all wore expressions of immeasurable joy.

Especially Little Junior Sister Mo Yuyao, the expression on her face was a blend of cuteness and excitement, with tears and laughter, intensely adorable.

Though Zhou Yan did not look at her, he still sensed her lip movements through his sensing power, hearing clearly her words, "Bad person, bad person, you're really amazing, you're incredible. You're so awesome. Bad person, now that you've returned safely, I will definitely keep my promise and let you take advantage once, but you can't go too far..."

"Maybe, now that you're so successful, you've already forgotten that playful promise..."

"But, bad person, whether you forget or remember, Little Junior Sister will always remember you, this big bad person."

This was the young girl's inner murmur, but Zhou Yan sensed it because he was attentive.

Precisely because he sensed it, Zhou Yan felt an indescribable sense of being touched.

Sometimes, being touched comes so simply, and also so suddenly.

Zhou Yan felt that his experience with Mo Yuyao was the most ordinary and mundane, yet the inexplicable emotion built amidst this ordinary and mundane life indeed penetrated deeply into his spirit.

"She is a lovely young girl, but since I have to become powerful at any cost, in the future, I might become... unbearable, so why persecute her any further?"

"Even though her happiness only means being able to stay with me a little longer, how can I be so cruel? This so-called happiness is full of my own selfish desires. My feelings for her are more about liking than love, more about the desire to protect than love; I can be sure of this myself…"

Zhou Yan sighed in his heart, then he withdrew his gaze.

But he couldn't help but look at Mo Yuyao again, and at that moment, he saw Mo Yuyao, and Mo Yuyao also saw him.

Their gazes met in the void, and then froze together.

Zhou Yan communicated through his eyes: "Little Junior Sister, don't forget that prank, okay? At that time, I want to kiss your ear, alright?"

Zhou Yan said.

Even though he knew this seemed like provocation and desecration, he couldn't help it, nor did he want to restrain himself.

As expected, Mo Yuyao's pretty face immediately turned red, even her ears were blushing, crystal and alluring, causing others to feel tender affections.

"Hmph, bad guy, we'll talk when you're free; you're such a big bully, always thinking of picking on me."

Mo Yuyao responded with her gaze, seemingly showing her unique coquettishness.

However... she ultimately didn't dare to look Zhou Yan in the eye again and lowered her head.

Zhou Yan continued looking at her for a moment until the young girl seemed somewhat embarrassed before he withdrew his gaze.

It seemed this feeling wasn't bad either.

...

"Zhou Yan, this time achieving Great Perfection, your combat power must have transformed incredibly, right? Our Sect has a principle that when comprehending the Tao in the Heavenly Pool Immortal Land, one should pass on about ten to thirty percent of their understanding of the Supreme Dao to the Sect's disciples. What do you think? If it's difficult or impossible to transmit, you can explain, everyone would understand. After all, previous disciples, even if they comprehended two percent of the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao, could hardly transmit it."

Chen Tianjian proposed.

Upon saying this, all the sounds at the scene stopped simultaneously, and it became extremely quiet.

The scene was silent, so quiet that a pin drop could be heard.

Zhou Yan nodded and said, "To talk about the greatest realization this time, it's the difficulty, really extremely hard. At first, when I entered, I was more than fifty percent confident, but once inside, and during the realization, it felt as if a long time passed, but I didn't comprehend even one percent. That kind of difficulty was utterly desperate, a kind of endless torture in the cycle of time, worse than death.

However, I didn't think much, I just wanted to comprehend a little more, even just a little.

This mindset never changed. Throughout, there were various disturbances, distractions, with numerous anomalies interfering, creating massive obstacles.

But I still felt this way, comprehending bit by bit, and then suddenly, without realizing it, I comprehended it all.

This time, to pass on the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao's Ultimate Secret of the Immortal Path to everyone, it's something I truly can't do. But—please listen to me.

It's not that Zhou Yan is unwilling, but the demand for constitution and Divine Soul in this is very high.

Now I'll demonstrate to everyone how strong it has become, after all, it's not much of a secret anymore."

As Zhou Yan spoke, he saw that although many cultivators were somewhat disappointed, they were still eagerly waiting to watch his display, and this warmed Zhou Yan's heart significantly again.

If these cultivators showed too much disappointment or even complaint, Zhou Yan would never truly pass on the Tao.

But the current reaction moved him, and he was already willing to pass on the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao from the Wan Hun Ancestor.

Except for the Ultimate Secret of the Immortal Path, the Ten Thousand Soul Sword Dao indeed should be glorified by Wan Hun Ancestor—it is actually the original purpose of the Sky Sword Sect.

The Sky Sword Sect is actually the Sect under Wan Hun Ancestor's command.

Zhou Yan also inherently had this mindset!

It's precisely because of this that Zhou Yan's thoughts were smooth; he was prepared for this teaching, which also was equivalent to giving the Sky Sword Sect a true return.

Because if it weren't for Wan Hun Ancestor's experiences and hardships in the Blood River, Zhou Yan wouldn't have had his Enlightenment experience in the Heavenly Sword Immortal Pool, then all of this wouldn't have occurred as it should.

So it can be said that Wan Hun Ancestor's trials were also a contribution needed to achieve Zhou Yan, so it can be considered a form of effort.

With such effort, how could Zhou Yan lack in benevolence and morality, and not do something for this Sect?!
