Nine Revolutions Star Technique

The crowd was in one of the Thirty-Six Countries of the Celestial South, known as Liehuo Country.

Previously, Liehuo Country was part of Da Feng.

This Martial Tomb is the burial site of someone known as the True Southern King. His cultivation reached that of a Human Immortal, and it’s said that during his life he was insatiably greedy, and even in death, he took all the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he accumulated into his tomb.

Many people in Liehuo Country are searching for this Martial Tomb, hoping to obtain the wealth left from the Southern King’s life.

”A Human Immortal!”

Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but exclaim.

Ever since arriving in the Kunlun Realm, he learned that Celestial Venerable is not the end of cultivation. Above that are Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, Celestial Immortal, and even Golden Immortal. For ordinary people, reaching the Celestial Venerable Realm is already incredibly difficult, let alone becoming a Human Immortal.

”Indeed, it’s said that in life, the Southern King embezzled nearly thirty percent of Da Feng’s wealth. This means there must be a vast amount of Spirit Stones, as well as Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, elixirs, magical artifacts, and perhaps even weaponry manuals!”

Lu Yanwu nodded along.

Ye Qingchen was well aware of this.

When he first came to the Kunlun Realm, he came with nothing but the clothes on his back. There was so much he lacked, and even if he joined Taotian Palace in the future, he would still need a vast amount of resources for cultivation.

Even obtaining just a tenth of the wealth inside the Martial Tomb would benefit him for a long time.

”Let’s set off!”

Thinking about this, Ye Qingchen was already eager to stand up.

”Wait a moment! Count me in!”

Just then, the Three-tailed Fox beside him suddenly jumped up. Turning into a flash of light, she perched on Ye Qingchen’s shoulder, and with a mischievous smile, she said under his surprised gaze:

”I’ve stayed at Hidden Dragon Mountain for several years now, it’s time I get out for a bit!”

...

Once the news of the Human Immortal Martial Tomb being opened spread, it immediately traveled throughout Lintian City.

You have to admit,

this news was just too explosive. Everyone rushed towards the Martial Tomb in madness because as cultivators, who wouldn’t wish for a stroke of luck, who wouldn’t hope for an opportunity?

As for the Sea of Zhou, he remained at Hidden Dragon Mountain; his cultivation was too low, and the Martial Tomb was filled with dangers, an area impossible for him to venture into.

”So many people?”

Even though Ye Qingchen had expected this, seeing the vast crowd before him, he couldn’t help but furrow his brow.

What he saw was.

The crowd surrounding the entrance of the Martial Tomb was layers deep. Even in the sky, there were floating figures.

”There are at least several thousand people, and this is just a preliminary count. There are still many who haven’t heard the news in time to arrive,” Lu Yanwu said quietly, secretly shocked.

This Martial Tomb, hidden within Sword God Hill, had now been uncovered, revealing a grand door of gold carvings and jade inlays, adorned with dragon patterns, appearing incredibly luxurious.

In front, several Celestial Venerables were exerting effort to break through the door.

It wasn’t like an ordinary tomb or secret realm.

This Southern King hadn’t intended for anyone to enter his Martial Tomb. The door, a hundred zhang high, was cast from exceptionally hard metal like an iron wall. Those Celestial Venerables, wielding their weapons, attempted to carve an entryway into the door.

”Why are they laboriously breaking through the door instead of searching for another entry point?” Lu Yanwu asked puzzledly.

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes and replied, ”For a Human Immortal Tomb like this, they’d rather bury their burial site from all recognition; why would they set up another entry point elsewhere? If one mistakenly triggered a restriction and found themselves in an Unparalleled Killing Array, wouldn’t that be an unjust death?”

”Didn’t expect you to know quite a bit…” the Three-tailed Fox mused from his shoulder.

Ye Qingchen was about to speak when.

a cold voice suddenly came from the side:

”Are you the Ye Qingchen who’s been making waves lately?”

Ye Qingchen lifted his head.

What he saw was.

A youth mounted on a black lion slowly approaching. Sitting upright on the black lion, his gaze was condescending, carrying a scrutinizing and dismissive demeanor:

”I heard you practice Dual Cultivation of Pills and Martial Arts? That in Martial City, you defeated Cheng Tong with a single finger, and then killed him with a single palm afterward? I expected someone more impressive, yet this is all there is!”

As he spoke, the youth on the black lion looked askance at Ye Qingchen:

”You think you’re worthy to stand equal with us?”

...

Ye Qingchen’s appearance already had several Celestial Venerables quietly observing from the shadows. Now, with the appearance of this black lion youth, and his arrogant, dismissive words, it immediately stirred the entire scene.

”Isn’t that Chu Tian from the Chu Tian Association? He’s here at the Martial Tomb too?”

”By the looks of it, is he going to directly confront Ye Qingchen?”

Seeing the potential for drama, many people flocked over in excitement.

”Who’s that black lion youth?”

Some who didn’t know hurriedly asked.

Those in the know whispered explanations:

”His name is Chu Tianhui, the eldest son of the Beast Taming Pavilion. See that black lion he’s riding? It’s an ancient primordial bloodline variant, possessing cultivation of Celestial Venerable Seventh or Eighth Layer. Furthermore, Chu Tianhui himself is at the Celestial Venerable Eighth Layer!”

Upon hearing this, a hint of apprehension appeared in many eyes. With such a formidable mount, let alone Chu Tianhui’s own strength.

Thinking of this,

many gave Ye Qingchen a schadenfreude glance.

At this moment,

Ye Qingchen slightly furrowed his brow, casting a cold glance.

Ever since he slew the Furious Dragon Flood Dragon at the Lantai River, and later obliterated Cheng Tong and Bai Mu in Martial City, there were few in Lintian City who dared provoke him so brazenly.

This black lion youth with his arrogant, indifferent attitude obviously wasn’t from a minor clan; not even Zhuang Shikai or Zhao Qian could compare. It was clear he hailed from a top-tier family.

But Ye Qingchen didn’t care, people don’t bother me, I don’t bother them.

He slightly lowered his eyelids, calmly asking:

”Who are you?”

”Mr. Ye, this is Chu Tianhui from Beast Taming Pavilion!” Lu Yanwu quickly interjected, trying to ease the tension, knowing from her experience at the Lantai River bank how Ye Qingchen would directly explode and annihilate Zhuang Shikai without much provocation.

”Beast Taming Pavilion, Chu Tianhui?”

Ye Qingchen slowly squinted his eyes.

He had naturally heard of this name, the Beast Taming Pavilion was quite the high-tier faction in Liehuo Country, a mighty force.

”Yes, indeed it is I!” Chu Tianhui folded his arms, looking at Ye Qingchen with a mocking smile: ”What, are you scared?”

His expression was triumphant, his arrogance growing: ”I’m telling you, a nobody from nowhere without any background or backing, just because you defeated some nobodies, now you dare call yourself a prodigy, standing on equal footing with me?”

”It’s laughable!”

As Chu Tianhui spoke, his eyes were full of derision.

One should know.

As the eldest son of Beast Taming Pavilion, what a remarkable status and noble birth! Even compared to Wu Xingyun and Tuoba Ye, he was only slightly inferior.

Yet this nobody appeared from nowhere, suddenly becoming famous, and even starting to overshadow him.

How could he endure this?

He had planned to find an opportunity to trample this kid. Unexpectedly, they met directly at the Human Immortal Martial Tomb, so naturally, he approached directly. But now that he took a look, the opponent was just at the Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer, a mere wretch in his eyes!

Someone like this equally matched with him?

The surrounding Celestial Venerables watched this unfold, shaking their heads secretly.

”Ye Qingchen is in deep trouble now!”

Someone murmured.

”Indeed, indeed! I’ve seen others nearly glorifying Ye Qingchen up to the heavens, now that I see, it’s nothing much!” someone else scoffed, ”Facing Chu Tianhui, he doesn’t even dare make a peep!”

Another sneered: ”This Chu Tianhui isn’t like Zhao Qian or Zhuang Shikai. His background is too large, belonging to the absolute top tier in Liehuo Country, who dares offend him? I bet Ye Qingchen will have to bow his head!”

As everyone watched,

Ye Qingchen stood there, eyes downcast, seemingly too intimidated by Chu Tianhui’s oppression to resist, appearing resigned.

Even Chu Tianhui squinted his eyes, his disdain deepening when,

suddenly.

Ye Qingchen slowly lifted his head, coldly saying:

”What thing are you?”
