Nine Revolutions Star Technique

After leaving the Frozen Secret Realm, Ye Qingchen and his group headed straight towards Death Valley.

Death Valley is located in the depths of the Withered Forest, which is also the most mysterious area of the entire Withered Forest, shrouded in mist all year round, with few able to enter. Even those cultivators who were lucky enough to enter never returned alive.

At the beginning.

The path was sparsely populated, but gradually, more and more people appeared. Most of these were evil cultivators, and their cultivation levels ranged around the Human Immortal Second Layer, even the Third Layer.

”Why are there so many people?”

Shen Yu asked in surprise.

”It must be that the outer secret realms have all been explored, leaving only this final Death Valley!” Li Chu mused, seeing Ye Qingchen look over, he explained:

”Decades ago, a cultivator accidentally wandered into it and discovered a broken secret realm. Although it was empty, a corpse was found there!”

”That cultivator dared not act recklessly and retreated. A few days later, he gathered a group of people but could no longer find the entrance!”

Li Chu couldn’t help but lament.

”Why go through so much trouble for a corpse?” Shen Yu was puzzled.

”If I’m not mistaken, that must be the body of Venerable Yin Mountain!” Ye Qingchen said with his hands behind his back, glancing at Li Chu.

”Exactly! It’s the body of Venerable Yin Mountain! Before his death, the Venerable Yin Mountain was a top-tier Venerable Earth Immortal, surely possessing supreme treasures. Even if not, his Earth Immortal body is no ordinary thing.”

Li Chu said.

The crowd nodded repeatedly.

For some evil cultivators, Earth Immortal bones are of great use, not only can they be forged into evil weapons, but they can also be refined into puppets. If one could find the treasures Venerable Yin Mountain had in life, it would bring a lifetime of prosperity.

”By that measure, Death Valley is a treasure trove!” Shen Yue said excitedly, ”Let’s hurry!”

The others, upon hearing this, also showed infinite longing in their eyes.

Only Ye Qingchen sneered silently.

A treasure trove?

More likely the Ghost Gate!

The closer he got to Death Valley, the more he could feel the Star Sword on his back leaping wildly, exuding waves of hatred, clearly sensing that its enemy was within.

After several days of long journeying.

Death Valley was already in sight.

”That’s Death Valley!”

Li Chu immediately said.

Woosh!

Before them appeared a massive mountain sinkhole, surrounded by swirling mist. From afar, the valley resembled the gateway to the Netherworld, engulfing and exhaling black qi madly.

Even divine sense investigation was blocked outside, unable to discern the situation within.

Clearly, around the entire Death Valley, a large amount of Yin Evil Qi was mobilized, forming a massive Enchanting Array.

Below Earth Immortals, it was impossible to enter.

However.

Ye Qingchen’s eyes suddenly turned, falling outside the mountain sinkhole, where he could feel a strong killing intent lingering in Death Valley, never dissipating, as if it was waiting for him.

”It seems you have arrived!”

”Just saves me the trouble of finding each one of you!”

Ye Qingchen’s eyes narrowed slightly, a chill passing through his eyes.

...

Months of abnormal Yin Evil Qi already had explorers traversing almost the entire Withered Forest, leaving only this Death Valley before them. From a few days ago, people continuously came, seeking to uncover its secrets.

But they were all stopped.

The one blocking them was a hunched, seemingly wind-blown, aged elder sitting alone on a black rock, single-handedly holding Broken Gate Pass, blocking everyone wanting to explore the valley.

For several days, no one was able to take a step forward.

This elder was no other than the master of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, Xiao Qi’an!

As for Wang Qinhu, Yao Guangjing, Gong Shikun, and others, they fully blocked the entrance to Death Valley under his command.

”Who are you to dare stand in our way? Get out of the way!” an exhausted evil cultivator shouted angrily upon seeing those blocking the valley entrance: ”Watch out, or I’ll kill you!”

Having said this.

He drew the sword at his waist, the blade exuding cold intent, surrounded by chilling light.

Xiao Qi’an sat there, not looking up, seemingly asleep.

”Didn’t you hear me speak?” The middle-aged evil cultivator’s eyes narrowed, emitting a terrifying fierce light.

Every cultivator, especially reaching Human Immortal, maintained a supreme attitude. Especially evil cultivators, with quirks and a tendency to kill without hesitation at the slightest disagreement.

Xiao Qi’an remained unmoved.

However, the elders seated below him coldly glanced over.

Those around looked at the challenger with eyes full of pity. At this, a familiar evil cultivator quickly pulled him aside, whispering: ”Are you looking to die?”

”What’s going on?” The evil sword sensed something amiss.

”These are people from the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, they’ve been here for seven or eight days! Can’t you see so many people are stopped outside Death Valley?” the familiar one whispered.

Hearing this, the evil sword looked quickly.

He saw Xiao Qi’an sitting alone on the boulder, like Mount Tai suppressing, scaring everyone from moving forward. Gong Shikun, Zhu Tianzheng, Xiang Jiuyang, and others stood like gate gods, giving off an aura of no-entry.

Frowning, he asked:

”What does the Ten Thousand Gods Sect want to do?”

”What else? To kill Ye Qingchen! The Ten Thousand Gods Sect somehow learned that Ye Qingchen was coming to Death Valley, so they simply waited here!” The familiar one spoke with a wry smile: ”After they kill Ye Qingchen, they can monopolize the Earth Immortal’s supreme treasures within!”

”Such appetite! Such domineering Ten Thousand Gods Sect! Can’t we go in, just watch here?” The evil sword frowned slightly, ”Hasn’t anyone made a move?”

He looked around.

At least a hundred evil cultivators present, was everyone just willing to stand here?

”How could there be no one? Before you arrived, several groups had already died!” the familiar one sighed, ”Now people either wait, planning to take a sip after the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, or wait for someone stronger to take down Xiao Qi’an.”

Upon hearing this, the evil sword’s pupils shrank.

Cultivators of the Kunlun Realm respected power most, and evil cultivators valued it more. Seeing none dared to confront, the evil sword could imagine how brutal the Ten Thousand Gods Sect’s earlier methods were, holding down so many, preventing rash actions.

With this in mind, a surge of fear silenced the evil sword, quickly standing aside.

However.

At this moment, footsteps echoed from afar.

”It’s the Taotian Palace!”

”After several days, finally someone from Taotian Palace is here!”

”Is Ye Qingchen among them?”

Suddenly, all eyes lifted to see.
