Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Silence!

Both inside the Black Tower and within Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, at this moment, there was a deathly hush.

Everyone was utterly shocked by the scene before them.

A Celestial Venerable had died!

Died at the hands of Ye Qingchen!

Especially those last two strikes from Ye Qingchen, they were moves not of this mortal realm. Even a Celestial Venerable had to bow down!

Yao Qing and Xie Tiankuang were both dumbfounded, their eyes nearly popping out of their heads.

Qian Qiuxue was so moved that she covered her mouth, tears welling up in her eyes.

Lin Jiuyuan stood frozen on the spot, utterly unable to believe that Feng Wuxie, whom he had been unable to kill despite all efforts, was annihilated by Ye Qingchen.

Before this.

He had considered all possibilities!

He imagined Ye Qingchen being slaughtered by Feng Wuxie in an instant!

He also thought of Feng Wuxie’s cruel means, leaving Ye Qingchen’s soul to forge him into a Ghost Slave!

He even thought Ye Qingchen might kneel and beg for mercy, knowing the vast difference in strength.

However.

He hadn’t considered this outcome at all!

Lin Jiuyuan silently watched the young man, feeling as if everything was unreal.

”Cough, cough, cough!”

Ye Qingchen stood in the void, coughing violently. Each cough seemed to ebb away a portion of his immense aura, like a retreating tide, and even his ink-black hair began to turn gray.

”It’s finally over!”

Ye Qingchen looked at the disintegrated Feng Wuxie and exhaled a long breath of turbid air.

”This Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture is indeed terrifying, capable of slaying souls, even a Celestial Venerable stands no chance! Yet just these two strikes have nearly drained over seventy percent of my life force...”

Feeling his own body.

Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but furrow his brows.

This swordsmanship was driven by life force, each strike relying on a large amount of life force. If another Celestial Saint lost seventy percent of their life force in an instant, they would already be a decrepit old man, withered and weak.

But in his case, it wasn’t like that at all. Although much of the surging power had dissipated, some remained within him, making his strength even greater than at his peak!

But then, he shook his head quietly.

”Although, this Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture is no ordinary swordsmanship, the legend of revival from death is probably false, as with such life force consumption, once I wield a third sword, my life force would be depleted and I would perish...”

”Such swordsmanship, has no way to reach the Seventh Sword, ultimately reversing life and death, altering fate!”

Ye Qingchen thought quietly.

And at this moment.

Yao Qing was deeply gazing at the young man, filled with fear. If she had initially submitted to Ye Qingchen due to the Divine Soul Mark, now her heart had truly submitted.

If even she felt this way, how could others not?

These Supreme Celestial Saints had initially believed they were doomed, but who could have expected such a sudden turn?

”Ye Qingchen!”

At this moment, a voice called out.

Before Ye Qingchen could respond, a graceful figure rushed into his arms, carrying a fragrance with her. Ye Qingchen looked closely and realized it was none other than Qian Qiuxue.

”How did you get in?” Ye Qingchen was a bit surprised.

”With Feng Wuxie dead, there’s no need for the Black Tower to remain sealed.” At this time, Lin Jiuyuan’s voice came from the side, his eyes filled with disbelief, ”Are you alright...?”

It should be known.

In this world, any secret technique capable of greatly increasing a cultivator’s strength comes with significant drawbacks. Especially a secret technique sufficient to kill a Celestial Venerable, where the user’s soul could be annihilated on the spot, wouldn’t surprise Lin Jiuyuan.

But now, not only did Ye Qingchen seem fine, but his strength appeared even stronger than before!

This was utterly inconceivable.

”I’m not sure either...” After feeling the state of his body, Ye Qingchen shook his head. However, recalling Lin Jiuyuan’s words, he suddenly looked up and asked, ”Since Feng Wuxie is dead, doesn’t that mean this seal can be undone? We can leave this secret realm!”

In an instant, everyone raised their heads in unison, looking towards Lin Jiuyuan with endless anticipation in their eyes.

Even Qian Qiuxue widened her eyes.

”Indeed!” Lin Jiuyuan nodded, ”This secret realm originally existed to suppress Feng Wuxie. With his demise, the seal can naturally be undone. It will just take some time!”

Many people couldn’t restrain their excitement and trembled all over.

Trapped for a hundred years.

Could they finally leave?

...

Everyone left the Black Tower and came to Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

The grand array Lin Jiuyuan had painstakingly laid down wasn’t something that could be easily unraveled, but fortunately there were hundreds of Supreme Celestial Saints present. At a command, they would assist in drawing the formations while he only needed to direct.

”How much longer will it take to break the array?” Ye Qingchen asked casually.

”At most three months!” Lin Jiuyuan nodded, ”By then, with my power, I can activate the entire grand array.”

Three months?

Ye Qingchen nodded slightly.

But.

He was somewhat worried, having chased Yao Qing all the way here into the Return to Heaven Valley Secret Realm. He had no idea what was happening outside, especially with a Venerable Lord still in the Celestial God Sect.

If he were present, he might have been able to resist the sweeping tide of the Celestial God Sect.

But now, being in the secret realm.

He was completely unaware of external affairs!

”By the way, I’ve observed your Spirit Sword. The Eight Divine Soul Swords are shattered, and Gui Xu Sword is also damaged…” Lin Jiuyuan suddenly spoke, ”If left unchecked, the Spiritual Qi might gradually dissipate, and it will eventually become an ordinary item.”

”Do you have a solution?” Ye Qingchen suddenly looked up at him.

Both the Gui Xu Sword and the Eight Divine Soul Swords held significant meaning for him. The former was a gift from Hundred Leaves Celestial Saint, while the latter was forged by a predecessor from Taotian Palace with their soul in the fallen fire.

”Indeed!” Lin Jiuyuan nodded, pointing at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain beneath him: ”Within this mountain are Spirit Swords I collected in life, amassed to a total of 81,000. Over a century, a vast Sword Qi has formed. If you place both your Gui Xu Sword and Eight Divine Soul Swords in this mountain, they might be reforged!”

”How long would it take?” Ye Qingchen was slightly moved.

”At most three months!” Lin Jiuyuan said.

”Great, then let them be forged for three months!” Ye Qingchen decisively nodded, ”I will also go into seclusion for three months! When the secret realm opens, I shall return to the world!”

He continued.

He squinted his eyes, his gaze far-reaching and profound.

Lying dormant for three months.

When I reemerge, it will surely cause a heaven-shocking impact!

While Ye Qingchen was in seclusion, the Celestial God Sect continued to sweep across the Western Domain with immense strength!

The vast Western Domain was once again shrouded in the shadow of fear!
