Nine Revolutions Star Transformation

Chapter 408: Chapter 419: Ancient Times’ Secrets

”Today’s conversation has been long enough, we’ll continue next time!” the Demon Lord said.

Chu Linfeng felt his appetite vanishing, he was very displeased but didn’t dare to get angry, so he asked reluctantly, ”When is next time? You know I’m in a rush now.”

”I’ll naturally tell you after you break through to the Third Layer of the Divine Martial Realm. Even if you know now, you can’t practice it with low power. Everything can’t be rushed,” the Demon Lord said, his voice growing weaker.

Chu Linfeng glanced at the Cyan Frost Sword and smiled bitterly, ”I still need to improve my strength, it’s really unbearable.”

With a thought, he looked at the items inside the Storage Ring and was startled. Life Essence, green liquid, Star Stone, Ice Crystal—each of these energy bodies was extremely rare, and despite having such things, his level was advancing so slowly. It’s truly frustrating.

Clearing his mind, Chu Linfeng calmed his heart. He decided he must break through to the Third Level of the Divine Martial Realm before heading out, so learning a Martial Skill from the Cyan Frost Sword would give him an extra safeguard when going to the Canglan Ancient Land.

Chu Linfeng immediately took out several solid materials formed from Life Essence and green liquid and started absorbing them like crazy.

A month later, Chu Linfeng stopped absorbing, feeling he was on the verge of a breakthrough. He had absorbed more than half of the Life Essence and green liquid in his Storage Ring, along with many Star Stones.

The energy needed to break through a level was truly unbearable—if someone else tried, they might not be able to do it at all.

After circulating the Chaotic Dragon Power within the Divine Star Pill for several cycles, a crisp sound came from his Dantian. He knew he had finally broken through.

The Chaotic Dragon Power within him grew even stronger, and the Divine Dragon on the Divine Star Pill also became more distinct. Chu Linfeng introspected and could even see the Dragon Scales on the Divine Dragon’s body.

Chu Linfeng then took out the Cyan Frost Sword and attempted to communicate with the Demon Lord. He had mentioned that he would reveal the first Martial Skill technique once he reached the Third Layer of the Divine Martial Realm, and he was now impatient.

”Cyan Frost, your breakthrough speed is indeed quick. I thought you would need two months, but this works too. The faster your strength increases, the shorter my time of return. Now, let me tell you what you need to do,” the Demon Lord’s voice suddenly appeared.

”What is it, Demon Lord? Please speak plainly. If it’s something Lin Feng can do, I will certainly not refuse,” Chu Linfeng said hastily.

”Your memory hasn’t recovered, so even if I tell you some things, you won’t understand. It seems our agreement from back then can only be fulfilled after you regain your memory. I hope the task I gave you is something you’re eager for,” the Demon Lord said.

Feeling irked, Chu Linfeng thought to himself, ”If my memory had recovered, why would I need your help? I would naturally know the Martial Skill within the Cyan Frost Sword.”

But he said aloud, ”Demon Lord, stop beating around the bush. I, Chu Linfeng, always speak and act openly. Since I promised, I will complete it, so you need not worry.”

”You know that Meng Ji is my daughter, right? Meng Ji’s life has been bitter. She was sealed when I was injured and only freed twenty years ago, so by age, she’s merely a twenty-year-old girl,” the Demon Lord said.

”Why did you seal your daughter? What’s the reason for this?” Chu Linfeng asked. If he hadn’t sealed Meng Ji, she might have already been a master of the Saint Martial Realm.

”Xuan’Er was born with the Demon Yin Body. Unless she encounters someone with a Pure Yang Body, her life won’t exceed a hundred years. Back then, I willingly let you imprison a wisp of my residual soul, partly for her.

You promised me that if you reincarnated, you would definitely become a Pure Yang Body. I hope you can take good care of her for a lifetime.

I know now you’re wary of Xuan’Er’s identity. Although we were arch-enemies back then, during the last battle, we understood one thing: everyone was deceived by the Lonely Demon Venerable, that traitor of the Demon Race,” the Demon Lord said.

”Regarding Xuan’Er, I do care about her identity. As the saying goes, righteousness and evil cannot coexist. The Human Race and Demon Race are natural enemies. How could you, Demon Lord, ultimately agree with Cyan Frost?” Chu Linfeng asked.

He knew this must be a shocking secret, and those who truly knew this secret wouldn’t number more than five.

”Everyone knows I was slain by Cyan Frost, but they don’t know I died by self-explosion, separating my soul during the explosion and having Cyan Frost seal a wisp of it within the Cyan Frost Sword for safety.

By then, we had discovered the Lonely Demon Venerable’s scheme. He wasn’t as simple as we thought; his power surpassed the Saint Martial Realm, yet it was constrained by some unknown factor.

To lift this constraint, he needed to devour the souls of the strongest. At the time, I, Cyan Frost, the War Emperor, and the Netherworld Lord were the four top masters. He worked to instigate us to kill each other and reap the gains.

Cyan Frost reincarnated to prevent him from absorbing her soul, and I retained a wisp of a residual soul to wait for revival. The Lonely Demon Venerable should not be from this realm. His appearance was merely a clone,” the Demon Lord said.

To Chu Linfeng, these revelations felt like fantasy tales, yet he couldn’t help but believe it, realizing that Cyan Frost’s reincarnation was due to such reasons—truly unexpected.

”Then, what about your Demon General? I feel your Demon General has already betrayed you,” Chu Linfeng said. He then recounted encountering the Black Night People in the Mermaid Country.

”Loneliness possesses unimaginable skills; his identity is ever-changing. Even Cyan Frost and I have never seen his true form. The only thing I know is that he was also a wisp of an exceptionally powerful residual soul.

If my guess is right, the Demon Generals under me have all been subdued by him. He possesses something that can rapidly enhance a person’s strength, but I’m not sure what it is, and you’ll need to seek the answers yourself.

In addition, the War Emperor and the Netherworld Lord might have submitted to him, plunging the world into an inescapable cataclysm,” the Demon Lord said helplessly.

”Didn’t you say he needs to devour strong souls? Why would the War Emperor and the Netherworld Lord become his followers? That sounds unlikely. If it were true, the Canglan Ancient Land would’ve fallen long ago—how could those powerful sects still stand?” Chu Linfeng said.

”That’s just my conjecture. If they didn’t submit, then they’ve fallen victim to the Lonely Demon Venerable’s treachery. Your task now is to increase your strength. The Martial Skills within the Cyan Frost Sword are too domineering, requiring high power levels. You can only learn the first style now, which I’ll share with you!” the Demon Lord said.

Chu Linfeng’s heart raced with excitement, and soon, many strange symbols and profound texts appeared in his mind.

After a long time, these texts and symbols disappeared. ”I’ve expended too much spiritual power. Once you break through to the Fifth Layer, I’ll teach you the second style!” the Demon Lord said.

Chu Linfeng knew the Demon Lord would disappear again, but he wasn’t worried about the symbols and profound texts in his mind, because the Sword Spirit would assist him. So he hastily called out to the Sword Spirit with a thought...

PS: I’ve gotten a year older again, how tragic!
