Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Chapter 711 - 710: Human Immortal Second Layer

The Venerable Yin Mountain, who had fallen five hundred and seventy-six years ago, has awakened once more!

Even a Human Immortal has means to preserve their life, let alone this top-level Earth Immortal who once plunged a region into chaos? Back then, when he faced a formidable enemy, although he managed to slay them, his own body was destroyed, and his soul nearly dissipated entirely.

Over these centuries, he carefully nourished his shattered soul with the vast Yin Evil Qi within the Withered Forest. In addition, he devoured the qi blood of cultivators who accidentally entered this place!

Now.

After absorbing the qi blood of this evil cultivator, he finally took the last step, completely transforming his soul into a Yin Spirit!

"Who would have thought that I, Venerable Yin Mountain, after dominating for so long, would fall to such a fate... Not only was my physical body destroyed, but my secret realm was shattered, and centuries of hard work were ruined in an instant!"

"Moreover, so many dare to trespass into my territory!"

Venerable Yin Mountain surveyed his surroundings, suddenly breaking into a cold smile.

One must know.

Not only the entire secret realm but even the entire Withered Forest is his domain. Naturally, he could feel that whether in the Withered Forest or those broken secret realms, some cultivators were present.

And when he was still alive, this place was simply a forbidden zone for cultivators.

But now, there are so many cultivators appearing on his territory!

"It seems that my long absence has made the Kunlun Realm forget the notorious name of Venerable Yin Mountain!"

"Wait..."

Just as Venerable Yin Mountain was planning to slaughter the cultivators who had trespassed onto his land, a thought suddenly surged into his mind.

"Now, although I have cultivated a Yin Spirit and become a ghost cultivator, the Yin Spirit Body is constrained everywhere, and it can’t compare to a flesh and blood body. Why not choose a suitable body among these trespassers to replace me?"

After a brief contemplation, he already had a plan in mind, and a gleam flashed in his eyes.

"Since my current secret realm is already in ruins, why not use it as bait to help me select a suitable body?"

With this thought.

He suddenly lifted his head, a trace of ferocity flashing in his eyes, and then pinched out a spell with his right hand.

Although.

Venerable Yin Mountain’s power was no longer what it once was, he could still control the secret realm and create entrances and exits.

In that instant.

In the Withered Forest, the thousands of broken secret realms trembled simultaneously, whether visible or hidden, all opened up at this moment, emitting vast and overwhelming Yin Evil Qi.

At the same time.

Those broken secret realms also erupted with dazzling brilliance.

These lights were all Heavenly and Earthly Treasures within the secret realm!

"What’s happening?"

At this moment.

All the cultivators still within the Withered Forest suddenly witnessed this incredibly shocking scene. Those broken secret realms suddenly opened up and erupted, revealing countless Heavenly and Earthly Treasures!

Some people ventured into these broken secret realms and even found numerous treasures!

Although.

The secret realm was shattered during the battle long ago, some Heavenly and Earthly Treasures still remained. For many cultivators, who wouldn’t want to seize such an opportunity? Who wouldn’t want to obtain treasures?

All at once.

The entire Withered Forest was plunged into turmoil.

Numerous people were fiercely competing for the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, even fighting fiercely for them!

"Haha, let’s see who among you will survive to the end?"

Feeling the complete chaos in the Withered Forest, Venerable Yin Mountain couldn’t help but burst into wild laughter.

Because.

The one who survives till the end will become the body for his resurrection!

...

One day, two days, three days...

For half a month straight!

Originally.

Many cultivators coexisted in peace.

But now, with the birth of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, how could anyone ignore it? The Withered Forest turned into a scene of devastation, with Human Immortals, rarely seen in the outside world, perishing here every moment.

While chaos brewed outside the Withered Forest.

Ye Qingchen was sitting cross-legged, cultivating within the Frozen Secret Realm. The nourishment of numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, along with daily challenges faced at the Sword Monument, allowed his strength to continuously and steadily improve.

In fact.

As early as three days ago, he could have stepped up to the monument and pulled out the longsword.

However, Ye Qingchen did not do so.

Because for him, after nearly a month of competition with the Stone Monument Longsword, his cultivation had already reached the peak of the Human Immortal First Layer, only a mere catalyst away from breaking through again.

"Today, I will step into the Human Immortal Second Layer!"

Sitting on the icy plain, Ye Qingchen swallowed a pill he had painstakingly refined over several days in one gulp.

Boom!

As the pill entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into a terrifying and surging torrent that swept through his body instantaneously. At the same time, his energy surged upwards step by step.

Rushing towards the Human Immortal Second Layer!

If anyone else saw this, they would hardly believe their eyes. It is known that each realm is like a mountain to cross, and reaching the Human Immortal stage is akin to transcending mortality and shedding one’s mortal flesh.

Within the Human Immortal Realm, every step is exceedingly difficult.

Even the most extraordinary talents require years of work. For the mediocre, they may never advance further in their lifetime. Yet, a month ago, Ye Qingchen had just stepped into the Human Immortal. Now he was charging towards the Second Layer!

Ye Qingchen formed a hand seal.

Allowing the vast torrent within him to churn, he firmly restrained it, trapping it within his body, and ultimately had to stop, gathering it in his dantian, merging it with the starry nebula there.

Moments later.

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his mouth, exhaling a dragon-like white qi that spiraled through the air for the duration of a stick of incense before quietly dissipating.

"Success!"

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes.

Human Immortal Second Layer!

A month ago, he had just entered the Human Immortal stage. Now he had stepped into the Second Layer, a speed unheard of and unseen!

"Unfortunately, my vitality hasn’t recovered yet..."

Moments later.

Ye Qingchen slowly shook his head.

Originally, he thought that upon reaching the Human Immortal stage, the sliver of vitality sustaining his life, even if not fully restored, would at least increase somewhat. But who would have thought, even at the Human Immortal Second Layer, it remained the same.

"Sigh!"

Ye Qingchen sighed inwardly.

The "Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture" was even more bizarre and unfathomable than he had imagined.

"Never mind, never mind! Perhaps there will be a turn of events in the future! The world is vast; I refuse to believe there isn’t a way to unravel the ’Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture’!"

With this thought, a sharp gleam appeared in his eyes.

"But before that, I must first pull out that Stone Monument Longsword!"

Ye Qingchen slowly got up, looking toward the Stone Monument Longsword’s location.

However, at this moment, his pupils contracted involuntarily, then he faintly smiled and said:

"I didn’t expect that someone has already found their way here! I just wonder if they can pull out this Stone Monument Longsword!"
