Chapter 296: Restoring Memories
"Creak..."
As the sound of Vicissitudes echoed, the doors of the Supreme Hall slowly opened on their own. Sun Zhe did not hesitate and walked into the hall with a calm expression, moving as if he had been here many times before.
The Ancient Hall was large and quiet, with only Sun Zhe's footsteps resonating within. The only visible light came from the oil lamps burning on the stone walls. A gentle breeze stirred, causing the flames to flicker, and it was this dancing light that illuminated the entire Ancient Hall. Although the glow of the oil lamps was dim, it was more than enough for Sun Zhe.
After a moment, Sun Zhe's footsteps stopped in front of a very ordinary room.
"Come in!"
The voice, rich with Vicissitudes, sounded again, emanating from the very room where Sun Zhe stood. He slowly pushed open the door and gently stepped inside.
The room was small but simple. Unlike the hall, it was bright inside; whether due to several luminous pearls on the ceiling or sunlight streaming in from outside, it felt warm. There was only a bed, a table, and a stool—nothing else seemed to be present, not even a cup of water. Of course, there was one person.
An old man sat there, dressed in a grayish-yellow robe. His hair was gray, and his face was lined with wrinkles. He exuded no hint of sharpness or dominance; he resembled an ordinary neighborly elder. If one did not know his identity, they would never associate him with an unparalleled powerhouse. Apart from his deep-set eyes that seemed to see through everything in the world, there was nothing else about him that drew attention—even Sun Zhe could find nothing remarkable.
Although Sun Zhe knew that the Domain Lord was an unmatched powerhouse, he had never witnessed him make a move. Even the origin of the words "Supreme Hall" he had heard from others. He often wondered how such an ordinary-looking old man could possibly be such a domineering figure capable of leading a force that could shake the entire Nine Continents. He had never found an answer to this question.
Because, all along, no one had ever forced this old man to act.
"Sun Zhe greets the Domain Lord!"
Sun Zhe respectfully bowed to this seemingly frail Old Domain Master. His words carried no hint of insincerity or pretense; it felt as genuine as if he were greeting his deceased mother because this old man meant as much to him as his own parents.
Whether it was Sun Jian or Sun Zhe, they were essentially the same person with identical personalities. If someone plotted against him, he would retaliate without hesitation; however, if someone showed him kindness, he would repay it tenfold. Moreover, what the Old Domain Master had given him was far more than just a little kindness.
“Sun Zhe... well, let it be Sun Zhe, no matter what it's called, as long as you come back...”
Slowly lifting his head, Old Domain Master fixed his gaze on Sun Zhe, a faint smile creasing his wrinkled face, as if he were looking at his own child.
“After you returned, did you go to see your old courtyard? I had someone keep it just the way it was; it's still being cleaned every day. However, the few servants who used to attend to you have already left, so I replaced them with a few newcomers. I don't know if you'll like them; you can take a look later...”
Listening to Old Domain Master’s endless chatter felt like the familiar reminders from a long-lost mother. As he listened, Sun Zhe couldn’t help but feel a slight ache in his heart, and his eyes, which hadn’t felt anything in a long time, began to moisten.
“Sun Zhe understands. I will definitely go and take a look later.”
Seeing Old Domain Master’s increasingly aged appearance made Sun Zhe’s heart tighten. After all, he was still human; even if one reached the Divine Realm, they remained human. While someone like Old Domain Master could indeed live for thousands of years, it didn’t mean he could achieve Eternal Life. Even gods have their limits. Sun Zhe didn’t know how much longer Old Domain Master could live, but he sensed that this time might not be long.
“Heh heh, old people tend to talk more. Perhaps it’s because I haven’t seen you in a long time that I forgot you had matters to discuss with me. You should get to the main point first.” Looking at Sun Zhe with a smile, it was clear that Old Domain Master was genuinely in a good mood due to Sun Zhe’s return.
“Sun Zhe indeed has matters to discuss with Domain Lord. There are four things in total.” In front of Old Domain Master, Sun Zhe showed no hesitation or concealment.
“Four things? It seems you’ve had quite a lot on your plate lately. If it’s about your identity with the War Clan, there’s no need for that; the old fellow from the War Clan has already informed me. Although he has some schemes in mind, we’re not at a loss either. A Supreme Battle Body combined with a Supreme Battle Technique is enough for you to dominate among peers. However, that old fellow has indeed had a tough time guarding there with his clan for so many years.”
As if recalling something, Old Domain Master couldn’t help but sigh. However, his attitude relieved Sun Zhe, as he had taken the initiative to join the War Clan. If Old Domain Master had truly wanted to hold him accountable, he wouldn’t have had much to say.
Seeing Sun Zhe’s expression, Old Domain Master understood what he was thinking and bore no grudge. He then asked, “What about the second matter?”
“For the second matter, I would like to ask Domain Lord to help me restore my previous memories!”
Once he finished speaking, Sun Zhe looked at Domain Lord with great anticipation. Back when he was in the land of the War Clan, if he had made such a request, perhaps that elder would have agreed. But deep down, he didn’t trust that elder; only the current Old Domain Master, who possessed such strength, could earn his trust.
Staring at Sun Zhe for a while, the Old Domain Master, with his dim and profound eyes that seemed to see through everything, slowly spoke.
"I can sense your aura is somewhat off. It turns out your previous memories have not fully recovered. Have you even lost the memories of your past cultivation?"
"Yes!" Sun Zhe nodded seriously and replied. What he wanted most was indeed that part of the memory. The former Sun Jian had not yet stepped into the Divine Realm, but he was at least a Saint Level Pinnacle expert. Moreover, the most important thing was that he had cultivated Sword Technique to an extremely deep level. According to what Martial Law had said on the way here, it seemed he had also practiced the Slaughtering Seven Styles. If he could recover that part of his memory, perhaps there wouldn't be much improvement in his cultivation level, but it would greatly benefit his future development.
"Close your eyes tightly and stand in front of me!"
The Old Domain Master did not refuse Sun Zhe's request and slowly nodded.
Upon hearing the Old Domain Master's words, Sun Zhe did not hesitate at all. He took two steps forward and stood in front of the bed. At that moment, the Old Domain Master also slowly extended his right hand. His wrist was incredibly thin, resembling shriveled dry wood, but within his palm, he waved out an incomparably mysterious gray light that immediately enveloped Sun Zhe.
At the instant this light surrounded Sun Zhe, his mind suddenly fell into silence, as if this light were a lullaby; he instantly lost consciousness, and memories flowed back like water. When Sun Zhe opened his eyes again, he found himself transformed into a young child, standing in what appeared to be his own courtyard.
"Come here..." A refreshing laugh came from the Old Domain Master standing in the courtyard, calling out to Sun Zhe.
"I'm coming..." A tender voice followed as Sun Jian immediately ran forward with two small feet, his cheeks flushed red but filled with joy.
...
"Sword Sovereign Sun Jian, do you dare to fight me?" A Scarred Man shouted at Sun Jian while wielding an iron sword, his aura so strong it surged forth. However, what met him was a long rainbow-like Sword Aura that enveloped him, and bright red blood instantly splattered across the sky.
"Too weak..." Before the words fell, he had already vanished without a trace.
The scenes transformed one after another, and the memories of Sun Jian from his past life were slowly awakened, not just the ordinary memories, but also countless cultivation experiences and that monstrous Sword Technique.
“Sixth Style - Demon Suppression——Subduing Demons!”
With a thunderous shout, a shadow of a demon suddenly appeared in Void, the aura of the demon spreading everywhere, obscuring the sun, and rolling clouds of demonic energy enveloped everything. At that moment, a Black Rampaging Dragon roared in, fiercely swallowing towards the Azure Giant Demon. A massive phantom of a black dragon devouring demons emerged above the vast Blade Pool, causing the Blade Pool, transformed from countless weapons, to shake violently.
Suddenly jolted awake, Sun Zhe opened his eyes again, only to find his face streaked with tears. Everything before him remained unchanged; he was still in this room, and the person in front of him was still Old Domain Master.
“So it turns out that was just a memory…”
Even though he had been prepared beforehand, two cold sweats still trickled down Sun Zhe's back. The experience had felt too real; after all, it was indeed his memory and truly real. If it were to be explained, it could only be attributed to how astonishing Old Domain Master's Divine Ability was.
“Slaughtering Seven Styles is a secret of my Blade Domain, alongside Calculation Technique and Ming Dao Qi, known as the three methods of Blade Domain. As the Sword Sovereign, you can only learn one of these methods, while I can only learn two. Fortunately, I have learned the other two methods, so I cannot guide you on this. However, all three methods are integrated with the Law. If you can comprehend this method, then Great Mastery of the Laws will not be far from you.” It seemed that Old Domain Master had also seen Sun Zhe's memories as his voice resonated at that moment.
“But why was I able to learn Slaughtering Seven Styles when I was in Thunder Continent?” A hint of confusion flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes; acquiring the Slaughtering Seven Styles had been quite coincidental for him.
“Since you were able to find the Ancient Bell Blade there, what’s strange about obtaining the Slaughtering Seven Styles? It was originally yours; getting it back is merely returning it to your side.” Old Domain Master smiled slightly, though there was an incomprehensible color in that smile.
