Chapter 1600: Chapter 1600: Fortunate to Call Her a Friend
"Brother Zhuang, take these elixirs, Brother Sang, these are for you, Ao Tian, these are yours..." Han Yan distributed the elixirs to Zhuang Pingāan and the others.
Although these elixirs were excellent, they were not of much use to her now. It was better to give them to Zhuang Pingāan and the others, adding a bit of strength and a bit more hope for survival.
"How can this be? These were left for you by your grandmother." Zhuang Pingāan instinctively took them but immediately came to his senses and declined.
"My grandmother left them for me, so they are mine. No matter how I use them, I donāt think she would be angry." Han Yan smiled slightly and said.
"But..." Zhuang Pingāan still felt uneasy and hesitated.
"Brother Zhuang, donāt forget, we are friends, partners. Only by working together and protecting our lives can we reach the Heavenly Curtain together." Han Yan said firmly.
"Hmm." Zhuang Pingāan nodded heavily.
Although he no longer refused, his heart was surging. With Han Yanās strength, her hope of safely reaching the Heavenly Curtain was greater than any of theirs. There was no need to give these elixirs to them, but she did it because they were friends, partners.
Zhuang Pingāan finally understood in his life, that knowing Han Yan and being her friend made him truly lucky.
The others looked at Han Yan, sharing the same feelings of emotion and gratitude.
Soon, everyone had a few elixirs in hand. The feeling was not obvious at first, but now they realized the quality of these elixirs was very high, even several times stronger than those refined by the Holy Court.
With these elixirs, their strength could undoubtedly improve, giving them more hope of reaching the Heavenly Curtain.
Of course, Han Yan did not distribute all the elixirs to everyone but kept a few for Huayue and others. As for the one unique elixir that even Ye Lanfeng couldnāt recall exactly what it was, she certainly would not casually hand it over to others but kept it for herself.
Besides this, she also selected a few of the best elixirs for Ye Lanfeng. As a Saint, Ye Lanfeng was not surprised by these elixirs, but it was her heartfelt gesture. Ye Lanfeng naturally understood her intention, and after taking it, his eyes were full of tenderness. Being kept in someoneās heart was such a wonderful feeling.
"Itās getting late, everyone should cultivate and restore themselves. We need to hurry on the road tomorrow." Han Yan said to Zhuang Pingāan and the others.
Zhuang Pingāan and the others thanked her and left the cave. Knowing it was Han Yanās grandmotherās cultivation cave, they felt embarrassed to occupy it. Since they had already set up the camp outside, and there wasnāt any danger in the valley, it didnāt matter where they cultivated.
Eventually, only Han Yan and Ye Lanfeng were left in the cave.
"Han Yan, donāt overthink it. If your grandmother is in danger, you need to be strong enough to save her." Ye Lanfeng said earnestly, seeing Han Yan still somewhat troubled.
"I understand, letās cultivate." Han Yan nodded, taking a deep breath to calm her emotions, and began cultivating.
Her mental state gradually entered a state of emptiness, as if falling into endless darkness.
Suddenly, a beam of light split the heavens and the earth, mountains shook, the earth split, waves surged, and corpses were strewn everywhere.
After the disaster, the surviving humans began to kill each other for survival. Despite generations passing, humans rebuilt their homes, yet war and slaughter did not cease.
Blades glinted, sword shadows flickered, and blood mist wove together merciless, cruel images.
Countless elderly, women, and infants lay in pools of blood, their eyes gray and despairing, looking at the sky as if gazing at Han Yan in another dimension.
Cycle after cycle of reincarnation and slaughter never reached an end.
Lv Junranās hateful face appeared before her again, along with the Fifth Prince, Qu Fengting, Fourth Miss Zhao, Yuan Tianbo... and others who had once been her foes, flashed quickly before her eyes.
Han Yan felt an indescribable loathing, a strong killing intent surged in her heart, wanting to tear them to pieces, to destroy everything.
If it were only Lv Junran, she could bear it, but the Fifth Prince, Qu Fengting, and Yuan Tianbo had become friends. Fourth Miss Zhao was never likely to be her friend, but even she was forgiven before her death. Even Han Yan didnāt know why she felt such revulsion toward them, why the killing intent was so strong.
"No, it shouldnāt be like this, this isnāt me!" Han Yan said to herself.
But the killing intent was uncontrollable, like poisonous vines growing and entangling in her heart, seemingly ready to swallow it entirely.
"No, this isnāt me, itās not me!" Han Yan gritted her teeth, her whole body trembling, her nails digging deeply into her flesh, causing sharp pains, but she still couldnāt suppress the intense killing intent that didnāt belong to her.
"Han Yan!" Ye Lanfengās voice sounded at her ear like shocking thunder, exploding within her mind.
Han Yan suddenly woke up, discovering her body soaked in cold sweat, as if waking from a nightmare.
Han Yan finally breathed a sigh of relief, albeit still with lingering fear. If she had remained immersed in that desire for slaughter, she really didnāt know what she might have done, how terrifying it could have been.
"Han Yan, what happened just now?" Seeing her eyes clear up, Ye Lanfeng sighed in relief and asked.
"Just now..." Han Yan recounted what happened, then puzzled, she said to Ye Lanfeng, "Why would this happen? I hold no resentment toward the Fifth Prince and Qu Fengting, having already forgiven Zhao Lingxian. Sometimes I think, if not for familial enmity, we might have been good friends. But just now, why couldnāt I suppress that killing intent, why did I want to destroy everything?"
"If Iām not mistaken, it should relate to the Sword Dao you comprehended. Have you thought carefully about where your Sword Dao comes from?" Ye Lanfeng pondered and said.
"It was last time in the Holy Soul Illusion Realm, when sparring with Elder Ao, I entered the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart realm and suddenly had an epiphany..." Han Yan paused slightly.
In fact, the reason she had an epiphany then was very complex. Her Sword Intent blended with Zhao Sininās insane hatred and killing intent, also with Yue Fanchenās Saint Swordsmanship, seemingly also sensing that past life Sword Soul, thus entering the Heaven and Earth Sword Heart realm and thereby comprehending her own Sword Dao.
