Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Return to Heaven Valley Secret Realm.

Spirit Spring.

At this moment, it was the seventh day since the Spirit Spring had opened.

Numerous cultivators were sitting cross-legged, cultivating within it.

And Ye Qingchen was among them.

He was positioned above the largest Spirit Spring, his chest rhythmically rising and falling. With his every breath, the surging spiritual qi in the valley was continuously drawn, transforming into a rolling vortex, pouring in.

”Whoosh!” ”Whoosh!”

Every breath Ye Qingchen took was as vast and profound as a dragon, extremely deep. The massive Spirit Spring beneath him, spanning over a thousand yards, had already diminished by thirty percent!

”It’s only been seven days, and he’s already consumed so much spirit liquid... a few more times, and this valley’s Spirit Spring might completely dry up!”

Everyone was utterly shocked.

It must be known.

Over a hundred Supreme Celestial Saints have cultivated here over the past century, yet none had ever depleted a single spring. But Ye Qingchen, in just fifteen days, had already consumed thirty percent of the largest pool. How terrifying!

Rumble!

Then.

An expansive, mighty aura erupted from Ye Qingchen’s body, filling the entire valley. At that moment, all those originally cultivating were startled awake, raising their heads towards Ye Qingchen.

”Is he about to break through?”

Qian Qiuxue was stunned for a moment, then reacted.

Sure enough.

As soon as the thought arose, she felt the aura within Ye Qingchen’s body ascend with a remarkable presence, as clear and distinct as climbing one step after another, seemingly endless!

The overwhelming powerful aura pressed down, making it difficult for everyone present to endure, retreating step by step as if facing a violent storm.

”This is just hitting the Celestial Saint Seventh Layer, yet he already exudes such momentum. What if he were to challenge the Celestial Saint Eighth Layer, or even Ninth Layer, let alone the legendary Celestial Venerable Realm!”

Qian Qiuxue couldn’t help but contemplate.

Everyone else was equally awed by the intense scene.

”So powerful!”

”Just attempting to break through creates such might, what level would his actual strength reach?”

”This is...”

As everyone exclaimed in amazement.

Suddenly.

They felt as if the astounding aura from Ye Qingchen collided with an unseen ceiling, repeatedly impacting but never further advancing.

”Has he failed to break through?”

Everyone exchanged glances.

They sensed.

Ye Qingchen was just one last step away from the Celestial Saint Seventh Layer. If he couldn’t cross it, this cultivation session would be entirely in vain... he’d have to wait until next time and find another method to break through!

However.

Breaking through a realm, once failed, makes the next attempt several times more difficult. Therefore many cultivators remain stuck at one realm, staying there for a lifetime.

As everyone lamented.

Ye Qingchen suddenly shuddered, opening his mouth wide.

”Whoosh!”

Like a giant whale swallowing water, the spirit pool beneath him suddenly boiled, surging and forming into a gigantic tornado, creating a massive water column that, after swirling a few times in mid-air, was directly swallowed by Ye Qingchen.

Boom!

In that instant.

The stalled aura within Ye Qingchen seemed to break through its shackles, shattering an invisible chain, ascending once again with an even grander poise.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

Until a moment later.

This constantly escalating wild aura, like a river entering the great wilderness, gradually became vast and stable.

”He broke through!”

In the distance, Qian Qiuxue and Yao Qing couldn’t help but show joy, while others were also intensely watching in awe.

Yet observing closely, they couldn’t stop their hearts from trembling.

There he was.

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged, his body faintly glowing, crystalline as a divine statue. If observed closely, countless runes seemed to be continuously surging within him.

These were runes emerged from the refining of his tendons and bones, a spectacle triggered by cultivating the third chapter ’Jade Bone’ of the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique!

Though.

There was not much difference in Ye Qingchen’s appearance from a few days earlier, everyone could feel a strong oppression emanating from his body, leaving them short of breath, as if faced with an explosive tidal wave!

And this surging feeling quietly vanished as he awoke.

”Whew!”

Ye Qingchen exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, revealing a smile.

This cultivation session, though only ten or so days, yielded immense rewards, not only raising his cultivation to the Celestial Saint Seventh Layer but also advancing the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to the third chapter:

Jade Bone!

”Congratulations, it seems you have broken through!” Seeing Ye Qingchen open his eyes, Qian Qiuxue approached with a bright smile.

”Congratulations, master!”

Yao Qing said promptly, feeling both happy and resigned, with extremely mixed feelings.

Happy that Ye Qingchen had reached the Celestial Saint Seventh Layer, successfully breaking through.

Resigned that she might never unseal the Divine Soul Mark, being a slave for life.

”Indeed!” Ye Qingchen nodded slowly, rising leisurely, his gaze sweeping through the surroundings, noticing that many cultivators were preparing to leave. Some were picking up jade bottles, filling them with spirit liquid from the Spirit Spring, making him somewhat confused and asked:

”What are they doing?”

”The two-week time limit is almost up, the valley is about to close!” Qian Qiuxue explained, ”They are preparing to take some spirit liquid out of the valley so they can cultivate at any time!”

”Let’s also take some!” Yao Qing urged.

However.

As soon as she performed a spell and captured some spirit liquid, it quickly evaporated into mist after leaving the spring. This sight left her dumbfounded.

”The Yin Evil Qi in the air is too dense, the spirit liquid can only exist in the spring, once out, it dissolves like salt in water.” Qian Qiuxue explained nearby, ”Unless using a special container, then it can hold some!”

Upon hearing this, Qian Qiuxue glanced around.

Indeed.

She saw that most of the Supreme Celestial Saints were using jade bottles to collect some. But those jade bottles were usually just for holding pills, holding only a mouthful’s worth at most.

”So much spirit liquid, waiting another year to see it again is such a pity...” Ye Qingchen looked slightly regretful, then suddenly clapped his hands, exclaiming, ”Oh, how could I forget this thing?”

In Qian Qiuxue’s curious gaze, he directly took out the Creation Furnace.

This Creation Furnace was a thousand meters wide, like a giant lake.

It was the container Spiritual Splendor Celestial Saint specifically used for holding Creation Spirit Liquid, which Ye Qingchen used to cultivate the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique. After the Creation Spirit Liquid was depleted, it was stored in the Void Ring; now, it’s perfect for collecting spirit liquid.

”Besides using these spirit liquids for normal cultivation, they can also be used for alchemy...” Ye Qingchen nodded in satisfaction.

Seeing this, Qian Qiuxue couldn’t help but feel amused.

The many restrictions within the secret realm seemed nonexistent for Ye Qingchen.

Others in the field also gazed at Ye Qingchen with intense envy. If they had such a large container to store so much spirit liquid, they could constantly cultivate, no longer waiting for the fifteen days each year!

If it were someone else with such items, they might have long considered robbing them, but facing Ye Qingchen, they dared not even entertain the thought.

As the Yin Evil Qi around thickened and the valley was about to close.

Suddenly!

Several figures rushed in from outside the valley, shouting loudly:

”Something’s wrong, something’s wrong...”

Everyone looked up.

Only to see, the arrivals were none other than Xie Tiankuang and his group who had previously been expelled by Ye Qingchen!
