Chapter 1556 - 450: Could It Be That the So-Called Demon Emperor Pursuit Is Because of That Place!

Yu Yan won’t die, and their father and daughter won’t be hunted down. He can accompany Yaoyao growing up well, giving her a happy and complete childhood...

Otherwise, Yaoyao has come to the past with difficulty, bringing these crucial messages to him.

If the predetermined destiny remains unchanged, wouldn’t all these sacrifices be meaningless?

However, the Blood Phoenix Essence Blood is incredibly precious, a treasure left behind by a supreme-level demon beast.

Even a piece of its remnant bone or feather is a rare fortune for him.

From the Divine Soul memory of Xuanyuan Shuo, it is known that over 170 years, multiple Spirit Severing Realm powers of the Holy Martial Dynasty jointly attacked the secret realm entrance, but always returned defeated.

No one knows what kind of power is maintained inside.

Helplessly, everyone could only resort to the most primitive method - using time as a blade, wearing down the stone with drops of water!

They believe that persevering in wearing it down will eventually tear through this barrier and seize the unprecedented opportunity within.

But just in the recent two years, the situation suddenly turned around.

Especially a few months ago, a mid-stage Spirit Severing Realm demon emperor seemed forced into a desperate situation, and unexpectedly barged out of the secret realm with a Blood Phoenix feather.

After a fierce battle, everyone finally killed it and divided the spoils evenly.

This harvest convinced everyone more than ever that the defense of Taichu Dojo is on the brink of collapse, a breakthrough is imminent.

Thinking of this, Zhou Qing’s heart was gripped by an invisible hand.

If there truly is a Blood Phoenix relic in the secret realm, but he chooses to retreat, wouldn’t he miss a chance to awaken Han Yi for nothing?

Backing down further, what if other Spirit Severing Realm people beat him to it?

He can’t just chase and perform Soul Search on each person, right?

Once soul searching is initiated, it becomes an immortal rivalry of life and death.

He couldn’t bear to kill, having received some insights and handbooks from breaking into Spirit Severing on Bibo Celestial Lake those years.

Not killing would mean laying a hidden danger for himself and Yaoyao.

He is no longer a lone traveler who can act recklessly.

But what worries him most at the moment isn’t this.

The Blood Phoenix Essence Blood contains Nirvana Power, which according to [Daily Reflection], is the key to awakening Han Yi.

What if the item has already been obtained by one who can command demon hordes, and is being used?

Especially when the barrier is about to break, the opponent will surely accelerate the refinement.

Upon thinking of this, Zhou Qing fell into a dilemma.

On one side is his daughter’s happy childhood, on the other is the faint hope of reviving a loved one.

This gamble is not one he can afford to lose, nor one he dares to reveal.

Seeing Zhou Qing’s furrowed brows, his spiritual power restless around him, Yu Yan understood.

She stepped forward and said, "Brother Zhou, no matter what decision you make, I will support you unconditionally. After all, this life of mine was saved by you."

Zhou Qing’s gaze shifted between Yu Yan and the drowsy Little Yaoyao, the struggle in his eyes intensifying.

Finally, he took a deep breath, his gaze becoming more resolute.

If he can’t have both, then he seeks a middle ground.

He must save Han Yi. Even if it’s just a faint chance, he doesn’t want to give it up.

But he also doesn’t want Yaoyao to have a tragic childhood.

Then he turned to Yu Yan, "Miss Yu Yan, I have a request."

Yu Yan nodded without hesitation, "Brother Zhou, just instruct me, Yu Yan will do it regardless of life or death."

Zhou Qing took out a storage bag with floating dark patterns from his bosom, the opening faintly glowing with spiritual light, "This is what I have gathered from the royal treasury and the four Spirit Severing members of the Xuanyuan family, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, all rare items for refining bones."

His gaze turned to the sleeping Yaoyao in his arms, his voice unknowingly softening.

"Little Yaoyao is already three years old, a prime age for laying a solid foundation. Your personality is steady and meticulous, I wish for you to oversee her Foundation Establishment."

Yu Yan accepted the storage bag with both hands and smiled, "Leave this to me, but Brother Zhou, you..."

"I have other critical matters to tend to." Zhou Qing’s expression suddenly stiffened, "But before that, you must promise me one thing."

Yu Yan’s heart tightened, but she still affirmed resolutely, "Speak freely."
