Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 710 - 709: Venerable Yin Mountain Appears!

To be honest!

The power of this sword has already exceeded Ye Qingchen’s imagination.

If we say.

Earlier, he didn’t care much about this sword, but judging from the previous two encounters, this sword is by no means ordinary. It’s either the weapon of Venerable Yin Mountain, or the weapon of the strong one who once battled with Venerable Yin Mountain!

These two individuals could even break the secret realm; the weapons they held are definitely extraordinary!

A weapon that can have self-awareness and even actively attack cultivators who approach! This is a feature even his former ’Gui Xu Sword’ did not possess!

Of course, Ye Qingchen would not let go of such a treasure!

"Try again and see where my limits are!"

Though he was repelled twice, the fighting spirit in Ye Qingchen’s eyes did not weaken in the slightest. On the contrary, it grew even stronger!

Boom!

The next moment.

Ye Qingchen made another move!

This time, he not only pushed the Nine Revolutions Star Technique and Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to the extreme, but even directly used the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’.

A hundred zhang!

Ninety zhang!

Eighty zhang!

Seventy zhang!

Almost every time a limit was crossed, the power of the Stone Monument Longsword increased significantly by a level. After Ye Qingchen stepped into the sixty zhang distance, he felt it was hard to move forward.

Almost every step forward required exerting a great deal of effort!

When he stepped into fifty zhang, he had to stop. The towering Dharma statue stood behind him, as wave after wave of fierce Sword Qi struck it, causing ripples of disturbance.

Yet Ye Qingchen did not care at all, looking at the Stone Monument Longsword ahead.

"With my current ability, at most I can enter ten zhang... Perhaps I could push myself into the twenty zhang range even if I get injured! But... in this secret realm..."

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes.

If this were usual, he would definitely charge at the Stone Monument Longsword again and again. But now, he hadn’t forgotten the presence of a great enemy outside the Frozen Secret Realm!

Ten Thousand Gods Sect!

"It seems I can’t obtain this sword for now!"

"I still need to continue to enhance my strength!"

"I haven’t fully explored this Frozen Secret Realm yet. There might be other treasures here... Anyway, I have plenty of time! I’ll cultivate here and continuously improve my cultivation level!"

Stopping at fifty zhang.

Ye Qingchen didn’t intend to proceed further and instead considered enhancing his cultivation and strength.

After all.

He had just reached the Human Immortal realm and needed to familiarize himself with the power control of this realm!

Thinking of this, Ye Qingchen simply withdrew beyond the hundred zhang range. Sure enough, once he left the boundary line, the Stone Monument Longsword quietly calmed down, as if nothing had happened.

Meanwhile, Ye Qingchen leisurely walked deeper into the secret realm with his hands behind his back, while at the same time, he sent out his divine sense to search in all directions.

Originally in his view, the entire secret realm had been demolished, and there might not be anything good inside. But upon searching, he indeed found quite a few good things.

"White Orchid Fruit, a middle-grade saint-tier Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, can be used to refine Ice Soul Pill!"

"Ice-Crusted Cold Tree, grows in the Land of Extreme Cold, has no rank, but its leaves can be used as a medicinal guide to enhance pill quality, and also used to refine the spirit!"

"Ice Dragon Grass, resembling an Ice Dragon, a top-grade saint-tier spiritual herb, with wide applications, not only can it refine Qi Blood, but it can also enhance the purity of True Qi, extremely rare..."

Thanks to the Jade Pupil Scroll given by Liu Yuanzhong, Ye Qingchen was as familiar with the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures appearing in this Frozen Secret Realm as if they were his personal possessions.

At his realm.

Most of the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were no longer effective, only saint-tier spiritual herbs had an effect. And such saint-tier spiritual herbs were naturally rare and hard to find.

For example, the Golden Jade Bodhi and Creation Lotus in his Hidden Dragon Mountain, were rare Spiritual Treasures.

"With these spiritual herbs, I can refine quite a few pills, not only to enhance my cultivation level a bit further but also gain quite a few life-saving means."

Thinking this, Ye Qingchen continued to gather these Heavenly and Earthly Treasures while refining them into pills, spending the rest of the time either honing cultivation and sword techniques, or attempting to advance upon the Stone Monument Longsword again.

At the beginning.

Ye Qingchen had to exert full effort to enter fifty zhang’s distance from the Stone Monument Longsword.

But in just three days’ time, having completely mastered the Human Immortal cultivation, he could reach this point with seventy percent of his power, directly stepping into forty zhang’s distance.

On the seventh day.

Ye Qingchen even managed to step into the thirty zhang area.

Until this day, through continuous training, and with the nourishment of various pills and Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, the injury inflicted by the Heaven-shocking blow of the Bone Flood Dragon had completely healed.

However.

Ye Qingchen’s long hair didn’t recover, leaving him with a head full of silver white hair.

By the fifteenth day, Ye Qingchen could even step into the ten zhang area.

Originally.

He wanted to make a decisive push, break into the core, and directly pull out the longsword. But within thirty feet, the Sword Qi was proud and the pressure suddenly multiplied dozens of times. After repeatedly failing to break through, Ye Qingchen had no choice but to give up again and continue to improve his cultivation.

And just as Ye Qingchen continued to sprint toward the Stone Monument Longsword, an unexpected change suddenly occurred within the Withered Forest.

During this time.

The Ten Thousand Gods Sect had naturally been searching for Ye Qingchen’s whereabouts, not just them, but even the Taotian Palace, the Daluo Sect, and others were also searching. However, the Ice Secret Realm is extremely hidden; Ye Qingchen only accidentally entered it between life and death, how could others know the entrance?

As for the other evil cultivators in the Withered Forest, they were also searching for Ye Qingchen.

In this period, whether they knew him or not, everyone had become clear about this young man’s experiences. A young man who came from the Barbaric Continent, who as a Celestial Venerable, killed several Human Immortals.

Although he was almost driven out of the Taotian Palace by the Seven Peaks Elder, he was taken in by Su Moran into the Heaven-Shocking Peak. Now, he fought against seven, killed the Bone Flood Dragon, and escaped right under the noses of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect.

Such a young man must have some secret.

If they could find him, they would surely know the reason for Ye Qingchen’s strength.

But.

Just as everyone was searching for Ye Qingchen, an unexpected incident quietly occurred.

An evil cultivator, while avoiding the chase by a Walking Corpse, accidentally stumbled into one of the thousands of Broken Secret Realms. Moreover, in the center of this Secret Realm, he discovered a broken corpse sitting there.

The corpse, with disheveled hair, was wearing a Taoist robe.

Great!

So immensely great!

Even though it was just a corpse, without a trace of aura, it looked incomparably large in the eyes of this evil cultivator.

"Venerable Yin Mountain!"

Even though this evil cultivator had never seen the true face of Venerable Yin Mountain, just by seeing the aura and posture of this corpse, it was enough to identify the other party’s identity.

More terrifyingly, lying beside Venerable Yin Mountain’s corpse were several withered corpses. These withered corpses were all emaciated, their Qi and blood drained. Most horrifyingly, these corpses seemed to have died around Venerable Yin Mountain.

"Thump! Thump! Thump!"

Noticing this, the evil cultivator’s complexion changed drastically, and he violently retreated several steps.

"What’s going on?"

"Venerable Yin Mountain has been dead for many years, so why do these cultivators have such death poses? And they are all surrounding Venerable Yin Mountain. Could it be..."

Thinking of this.

The evil cultivator couldn’t help but shiver at the thought that sprang into his mind, an incredibly absurd notion.

Maybe!

These cultivators were all killed by Venerable Yin Mountain!

"Escape?"

The evil cultivator retreated step by step, his eyes fixed intently on Venerable Yin Mountain’s corpse. That corpse remained tightly seated there, seemingly unresponsive.

But...

Just as he was about to exit this Secret Realm.

He suddenly stopped!

"Venerable Yin Mountain has been dead for many years, his soul must have dispersed long ago... Besides, even if part of his soul remains, so what? I don’t believe I can’t escape from him!"

Venerable Yin Mountain!

He was a top-level Earth Immortal from centuries ago! Maybe there were some magical treasures or cultivation techniques left on his corpse. If I obtained them, wouldn’t I ascend in one step?

What cultivator wouldn’t want to possess such treasures?

And there might be these treasures on Venerable Yin Mountain’s corpse!

Thinking of this, powerful greed had already filled his mind, and simultaneously, he couldn’t help but move towards Venerable Yin Mountain’s corpse. Just as his palm almost touched Venerable Yin Mountain’s body, he saw...

The originally silent corpse of Venerable Yin Mountain quivered quietly, and in the pitch-black eye sockets, two points of red light suddenly emerged.

"Not good!"

The evil cultivator cried out inwardly and hastily retreated to the rear.

But.

It was already too late!

He saw a transparent phantom suddenly rise from the corpse. This phantom’s face was none other than the soul of Venerable Yin Mountain. As soon as his soul appeared, he grabbed the evil cultivator’s head and sucked in a deep breath.

Instantly.

All the Qi and blood of this evil cultivator was devoured by Venerable Yin Mountain!

"Five hundred seventy-six years, I, Venerable Yin Mountain, am back again!"

"Hahaha!"

"You all didn’t expect this, did you!"

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The earth-shaking laughter suddenly erupted, sweeping and shaking this entire world fiercely.
