Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Mountain peak.

The number of Spirit Swords here is scarce, even less than one-tenth of the entire Ten Thousand Swords Mountain’s Spirit Swords, and looking up, it seems there are only a few hundred.

However.

The sense of oppression here felt by the two was becoming increasingly intense.

Upon reaching this area, they both felt like they couldn’t breathe. Especially Qian Qiuxue, who felt as if under this pressure, even her True Qi had stopped flowing.

It was as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on her.

”Leave the rest to me!”

Just as Qian Qiuxue was struggling and almost out of breath, Ye Qingchen grabbed her wrist, and a surge of star power flowed over.

”Alright!”

Suddenly pulled by Ye Qingchen, a blush rose on Qian Qiuxue’s cheeks, and she nodded.

Boom! Boom!

The two of them moved forward towards the mountain peak again.

However.

The Celestial-grade Flying Swords didn’t pounce as eagerly as the Spirit Swords in the lower areas of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain; instead, they quietly rested in the mountain body.

But Ye Qingchen knew that this was just an appearance. As the most difficult area to pass through in Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, it was impossible to cross easily. It must be the calm before the storm!

That senior from Taotian Palace purposely set up this Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to prevent anyone from passing through.

While Ye Qingchen was having such thoughts.

Suddenly.

A dazzling sword light erupted from the mountain peak.

Within the sword light, a massive world seemed to unfold, and a cyan figure appeared between heaven and earth.

”What is this?”

At this moment.

Their spirits were captivated by that figure, and they couldn’t help but look at the figure in the vast space.

They saw that it was a somewhat thin middle-aged man, wearing a large robe, with his hands behind his back, facing Ye Qingchen and Qian Qiuxue.

”Who dares to venture into Ten Thousand Swords Mountain?”

As soon as the figure appeared, a deep voice echoed through the space.

Boom!

This terrifying majesty was not inferior to the previous Feng Wuxie! In fact, it was even stronger than Feng Wuxie’s display at the White Bone Palace! The overwhelming murderous intent swept across the skies.

Compared to the murderous aura of the Seven Kills Stele earlier, this murderous intent was like a mere speck of dust.

Ye Qingchen knew.

This figure before them was the soul of the Taotian Palace Sect Leader Lin Jiuyuan, who had once suppressed Feng Wuxie! He was stationed here to prevent others from entering and releasing Feng Wuxie from his seal.

”Eastern Domain Qing Continent, Taotian Palace disciple Ye Qingchen greets the elder!”

Facing this murderous intent, Ye Qingchen spoke in a deep voice.

”Descendant of Taotian Palace?”

Lin Jiuyuan’s expression hesitated for a moment, then after scrutinizing Ye Qingchen carefully, he slowly nodded, ”Indeed, there are traces of my Taotian Palace on you...”

But the next moment.

He suddenly tightened his expression, the murderous intent growing more terrifying:

”As a descendant of Taotian Palace, you should have seen the stele I set. You should know what this place is, and why you dare to trespass the forbidden area and enter Ten Thousand Swords Mountain?”

Boom!

The angry words, like a mountain pressing down, caused the entire space to crackle. At this moment, the hundreds of Celestial-grade Spirit Swords on the mountain peak trembled in unison.

Boom!

Even.

Under this terrifying murderous intent, Ye Qingchen was pushed back a few steps.

”Feng Wuxie broke free and captured over a hundred Supreme Celestial Saints from the secret realm!” Ye Qingchen stood there, meeting the gaze, undaunted: ”I cannot sit and watch, I ask the elder to step aside...”

”Indeed, that is the case.” The other slowly nodded, then raised his head to meet Ye Qingchen’s gaze: ”But do you know why Feng Wuxie captured those people and why he let you enter the White Bone Palace?”

Ye Qingchen remained silent.

Qian Qiuxue looked up in confusion.

Lin Jiuyuan continued:

”Although he has been suppressed by me for a hundred years, his vicious nature hasn’t diminished, and he’s constantly thinking about escaping. Over the century, he’s been attacking the seal, and now the entire seal is on the verge of collapse...”

”But because I’m here, although he can appear before people, he cannot escape from the seal!”

”He captured those people merely to lure you into the seal, using your identity as a Taotian Palace disciple to make me apprehensive, hoping to gain a glimmer of hope!”

”Moreover, you should know, although you defeated Feng Wuxie in the White Bone Palace, that was only one of his avatars, not his full power. If you did go in, not only would you fail to save anyone, but you might also lose your life!”

”I understand that you’re here to save people, not intentionally breaking into the seal; hence, you should leave quickly, and I can spare your lives!”

Having said that.

Lin Jiuyuan waved his hand, seeming to issue a command for them to leave.

Qian Qiuxue, hearing these words, quickly looked at Ye Qingchen.

Only to see.

Ye Qingchen standing there, his eyes lowered, silent, seemingly wavering.

Upon seeing this scene.

For some reason, Qian Qiuxue felt a bit disappointed. But on second thought, it was understandable. After all, Lin Jiuyuan was the sect leader of Taotian Palace, the one controlling Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

And behind the mountain lay the even more powerful Feng Wuxie.

Anyone facing this situation would likely hesitate, choose to retreat, and plan slowly in the future.

However.

Just when Qian Qiuxue thought Ye Qingchen was ready to give up, Ye Qingchen suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice:

”What if I refuse to retreat?”

Lin Jiuyuan abruptly raised his head, seemingly in disbelief, staring intently at Ye Qingchen.

”What did you say?”

”As a disciple of Taotian Palace, I’d rather die standing than live kneeling!” Ye Qingchen stared at Lin Jiuyuan, ”Feng Wuxie captured those Supreme Celestial Saints right in front of me; how could I stand idly by?”

”Elder, please step aside!”

”Otherwise, I’ll have to fight my way through!”

Boom!

As his words fell.

Ye Qingchen suddenly stepped forward.

At this moment.

His aura changed abruptly, like a divine sword unsheathed from the hands of a peerless swordsman, its sharpness was unviewable. He was like a Holy Mountain rising from the ground, piercing through the clouds.

Lin Jiuyuan narrowed his eyes, his expression gradually growing grim.

He looked deeply at Ye Qingchen:

”Such a junior, do you truly think I dare not kill you?”

”Do not think that being my descendant allows you to act recklessly here!”

”Feng Wuxie committed countless heinous acts, too numerous to list. The Taotian Palace was destroyed by him, and if he escapes, it will bring devastation and disaster to the Eastern Domain!”

Buzz!

As he finished speaking.

Lin Jiuyuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashed with lightning, his long hair billowing.

On the mountain peak, hundreds of Celestial-grade Longswords began to hum, erupting with a terrifying sword cry.

”If killing you alone can save millions!”

”I will not hold back at all!”

Boom!

With every word he spoke, the immense killing intent increased.

The area of sword cries on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain expanded. In the end, all eighty-one thousand Spirit Swords on Ten Thousand Swords Mountain resonated, Sword Qi swept through the nine heavens. All Spirit Swords soared into the sky!
