Nine Revolutions Star Technique

The sect forces of the Kunlun Realm each possess unique martial arts.

They are broadly divided into categories such as attack, defense, and body technique.

For instance, the Ten Thousand Gods Sect’s ”Asura Demon Aspect” is rumored to have originated from the ”Supreme Demon Scripture.” Once mastered, it can use demonic qi to manifest the Asura Aspect.

This is a rare martial art that combines offense and defense.

”So that’s how it is!”

Ye Qingchen withdrew his mind from the Jade Pupil Scroll and nodded silently.

The sect martial art of the Taotian Palace is called the ”Heaven-Repairing Fragment”!

This is similar to the ”Asura Demon Aspect,” a type of martial art combining offense and defense. Once mastered, it can condense into a form outside the body. However, the level of the ”Heaven-Repairing Fragment” is several times higher than the ”Asura Demon Aspect,” making its power even more formidable!

”Back in the day, Taotian Palace established itself with the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment,’ but the original version was too difficult to cultivate, with barely anyone succeeding. Thus, Taotian Palace remained obscure.”

”Later, a genius sect leader of Taotian Palace modified the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’, reducing its power by ninety percent, but allowing ordinary inner sect disciples to cultivate it! Hence, Taotian Palace developed to its current prominence.”

”Now, I hold the most original version of the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’!”

Ye Qingchen rubbed his chin.

”The modified version of the fragment can be directly cultivated. However, the original version requires various auxiliary materials and the integration of the five elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—to begin understanding it!”

”Damn it!”

Ye Qingchen closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, unable to suppress a bitter smile.

He analyzed a bit earlier on.

This is just the beginning of understanding. In the future, when attempting to achieve minor success and mastery, the difficulty will geometrically increase. Moreover, each new level requires a large amount of Heavenly and Earthly Treasures.

Once stuck at a step, there’s no way to progress further.

”Either don’t do it, or do it to the best it can be!”

Ye Qingchen hardly hesitated.

What use is the modified version of the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’, even if it’s mastered?

”Fortunately, I still have plenty of water-element Heavenly and Earthly Treasures here at Hidden Dragon Mountain!”

”Begin cultivation!”

He raised his hand to capture.

From within the Spirit Spring, a Creation Lotus Seed flew into his hand. Looking closely, faint water ripples were seen on the lotus seed’s surface. He hardly hesitated and swallowed it whole.

”Refine!”

Once inside, Ye Qingchen pinched a spell seal fiercely.

Suddenly.

Outside his body emerged misty runes, resembling water waves, with characters that were difficult to distinguish, and each stroke seemed to contain grand principles!

These runes gathered around him, coalescing into an armor-like formation.

”The first step is finally done; next is constant refining!”

Ye Qingchen breathed a sigh of relief and began swallowing the second lotus seed.

...

One, two, three…

Ye Qingchen swallowed a lotus seed every three days.

Up to the seventh seed, the swirling water wave runes around him condensed completely.

”Boom!”

As the last rune formed, the Sword Spirit’s phantom suddenly appeared behind him, absorbing all those endless water wave runes and ultimately forming a set of black armor.

This armor was extremely solemn, with each lotus-made piece revealing a hint of murderous coldness beneath its dignity.

”This is…”

Ye Qingchen was bewildered.

”Water of the Five Elements, belonging to the north which is black, thus the armor appears black!” The Three-tailed Fox slowly lifted its head, ”This is merely one characteristic of the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’. Once you cultivate to the extreme, you will naturally know its benefits!”

”You know?” Ye Qingchen’s eyebrow raised.

”I certainly know!” The Three-tailed Fox smiled faintly and closed its eyes.

Seeing the other’s unwillingness to explain further, Ye Qingchen refrained from asking more. Although he had already refined the black Profound Armor, his cultivation level and strength hadn’t increased, but his defense had improved several times.

Even if he stands still, allowing Wu Xingyun or Tuoba Ye, such Celestial Venerable Ninth-layer powerhouses, to strike, they may not be able to harm him.

”Next, there’s still the gold, wood, fire, earth materials needed; as for the wood type, once my Golden Jade Bodhi matures, I can begin cultivation. As for the other three, there are no clues yet.”

”Hmm?”

Just as Ye Qingchen was deep in thought, suddenly his eyebrow furrowed.

For, he sensed visitors outside Hidden Dragon Mountain, precisely Lu Yanwu and Sea of Zhou. The two were pacing outside the grand array, faces full of anxiety. Even with the spell Ye Qingchen had taught them, they couldn’t enter.

Just as the two were about to leave, suddenly space trembled, revealing a pathway.

Overjoyed, they hurried into Hidden Dragon Mountain, only to see Ye Qingchen seated cross-legged beside the Spirit Spring, facing the vast sea of clouds, with a demeanor seemingly surpassing that during the grand election!

”Mr. Ye!” The two bowed respectfully.

”Why have you come?” Ye Qingchen asked calmly.

”Since the grand election, we haven’t seen you, and were worried. We’ve been coming daily but couldn’t enter…” The two exchanged a glance, and finally, Lu Yanwu stepped forward to speak.

Lu Yanwu was exceptionally worried about Ye Qingchen’s state.

Having clearly won first place in Taotian Palace’s grand election, yet suddenly detected as having no cultivation potential, such a blow is something no ordinary person could endure. She and Sea of Zhou had intended to explore Heaven-Shocking Peak, but couldn’t enter at all, so resorted to visiting Hidden Dragon Mountain daily.

”Rest assured, I’ve entered Heaven-Shocking Peak, guided by Su Moran for cultivation. As for these days, I’ve been secluded refining the ’Heaven-Repairing Fragment’, shutting down the array, unaware of external happenings!”

Ye Qingchen said calmly.

”Lin Shifei and I have already discussed, planning to leave Void Peak and join Heaven-Shocking Peak!” Lu Yanwu declared resolutely.

Having been favored by Ye Qingchen, they decided to take the risk to reciprocate, naturally choosing to share his fate. Heaven-Shocking Peak was not among the Seven Great Peaks, reflecting the magnitude of their decision.

Certainly, Sea of Zhou, being an outer disciple, wasn’t eligible to be involved in this matter.

”No need! Just focus on your cultivation!”

Ye Qingchen slowly shook his head.

Su Moran’s demeanor was indifferent, and the cultivation methods of Heaven-Shocking Peak suited him, but not others.

Lu Yanwu grew anxious hearing this, wishing to argue further, but upon seeing Ye Qingchen’s seemingly unwavering resolve, could only relent.

”Your timing is perfect, I’m still lacking some cultivation materials; Hidden Dragon Mountain is lacking a lot as well, follow me down the mountain to have a look.” Ye Qingchen slowly stood up.

Seeing Ye Qingchen intending to descend the mountain, Lu Yanwu and Sea of Zhou were startled and quickly advised:

”Mr. Ye, you cannot go down the mountain!”

”Hmm?”

Ye Qingchen’s voice sank upon hearing this: ”Why?”

Lu Yanwu and Sea of Zhou exchanged a glance, finally Sea of Zhou spoke up.
