Nine Revolutions Star Technique

Seven days later.

Taotian Palace.

Ye Qingchen stood with his hands behind his back, watching the disciples coming and going.

By calculation, it had been over three months since he left Taotian Palace for the Extreme North. To ordinary disciples, this period was just enough to close a session or complete a task.

But for Ye Qingchen, he transformed into the Lord of the Far North and stepped into the Earth Immortal Third Layer. His strength was several times stronger than before!

Moreover.

He had learned the ”Heaven-Breaking Profound Extremity Pointing” and the ”Ten Thousand Treasures Sword Scripture.”

His strength had far surpassed that of all the old Earth Immortals.

”With my current strength, I don’t fear even a Venerable Earth Immortal around the seventh layer! But I can’t resist against the strongest or top-level Earth Immortals of the eighth or ninth layers!”

Ye Qingchen thought in his heart and turned toward Heaven-Shocking Peak.

As he walked.

Suddenly, several figures in robes, wearing jade crowns and jade pendants at their waists, approached from the opposite direction. When they saw Ye Qingchen, they were first slightly stunned and then suddenly reacted:

”Ye Qingchen?”

”When did he come back?”

”Not good, this calamity star has returned!”

Those who were puzzled quickly relaxed their brows. Obviously, they remembered this newly promoted Elder of Taotian Palace and their eyes all showed a hint of dread.

Three months was not a short time.

But for most people, Ye Qingchen was originally a wandering soul outside the Seven Peaks, and if not for his repeated amazing actions, who would remember him?

Moreover.

Many elders of Taotian Palace were on missions outside. It was not until they returned to the sect that they learned from others what had happened during their absence.

Among them was an elder at the forefront.

His name was Li Yixing.

When people mentioned Ye Qingchen, he was still full of confusion. But as someone beside him introduced the situation, he immediately reacted and glared at Ye Qingchen with anger in his eyes:

”Is he the one who stepped on Void Peak and eliminated everyone in the elder assessment? How dare he come back? And so openly?”

However.

Ye Qingchen did not concern himself with these people, merely glanced at them and continued walking toward Heaven-Shocking Peak.

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s behavior, Li Yixing’s eyes flashed with anger:

”Ye Qingchen, stop right there!”

”Oh, what’s the matter?” Ye Qingchen slowly turned around.

”Where have you been these past months? You just became an elder of Taotian Palace and left the sect for three months. It’s outrageous!” Li Yixing glared angrily with an air of superiority. ”Moreover, why do you not salute a Three-star Elder?”

”Who are you to talk to me like this?”

Ye Qingchen looked at him quietly.

”I am a Three-star Elder!” Li Yixing gritted his teeth, his eyes fixed intensely on Ye Qingchen, a flash of lightning in his gaze: ”Why don’t you salute me?”

Ye Qingchen then noticed the bright Star River embroidered on his robe.

A One-star Elder’s robe was embroidered with stars.

A Two-star Elder’s robe was emblazoned with the sun and moon.

A Three-star Elder’s robe displayed a Star River!

As for the Supreme Elders like Ye Xu Kong and Marquis Guangjun, they were not included in this ranking.

Generally, people would be extremely respectful upon seeing a Three-star Elder. However, clearly, Ye Qingchen was not one of them:

”What about being a Three-star Elder?”

Li Yixing was furious.

He intended to leverage his status to pressure Ye Qingchen but did not expect Ye Qingchen to disregard him completely.

”What did you say?” Li Yixing could not swallow this insult.

As soon as the words were spoken, he took a step forward and threw a punch. While initially in place, by the time it landed, he was already in front of Ye Qingchen!

The punch carried the force of an avalanche, unstoppable. Like a rushing river, it was incredibly unmatched!

This punch.

Li Yixing demonstrated his Earth Immortal Sixth Layer strength to the fullest!

At the sight of this punch, everyone was shocked into speechlessness.

But Ye Qingchen casually delivered a palm strike.

Fist and palm collided.

”Boom!”

A loud explosion erupted, sending powerful qi in all directions, causing the entire Taotian Palace to shake slightly. The ground beneath them abruptly shattered, revealing horrendous cracks. Li Yixing’s body swayed, retreating a few steps.

Yet Ye Qingchen remained unmoved.

Seeing this, Li Yixing’s pupils contracted, his face turned extremely unsightly, and then he sneered: ”To withstand three-tenths of my power, no wonder you dare to be so arrogant. Today, I shall make you understand the meaning of hierarchy!”

Ye Qingchen raised an eyebrow and looked at him with a half-smile: ”What, you want to continue?”

He hadn’t expected it.

Someone would be so eager to provoke him as soon as he returned to Taotian Palace.

”Elder Li Yixing, this kid is always arrogant and overbearing. He relies on Su Moran to back him up, not even putting the Supreme Elders in his eyes!” said a One-star Elder, hurriedly holding Li Yixing back and advising: ”Don’t bother with such people!”

He saw that under the recent blow, the once tranquil Taotian Palace felt awakened from a slumber, with countless figures rushing from the palaces and the Martial Arts Arena, watching this scene in horror.

”This kind of person is not to be provoked. Even Marquis Guangjun was suppressed beneath Void Peak because of him.”

”Yes, yes!”

Everyone was frightened and hurriedly held Li Yixing back.

They knew Ye Qingchen’s methods and naturally preferred fewer conflicts. If the Sect Leader, who was in seclusion, was disturbed, they would also be punished!

Although Ye Qingchen was absent from Taotian Palace for three months, he gave them a sense of long-lost peace.

”Consider yourself lucky! I’ll let you go today, but you better not fall into my hands in the future! Otherwise, I’ll let you know what it means to be worse than dead!” Li Yixing coldly glanced at Ye Qingchen and left, surrounded by the crowd.

Leaving Ye Qingchen standing there blankly.

’Earth Immortal Sixth Layer?’

’And you think so highly of yourself?’

Ye Qingchen chuckled and shook his head.

Even though Marquis Guangjun controlled a part of the world, he was not worth Ye Qingchen’s attention, let alone someone as ordinary as Li Yixing, an Earth Immortal Sixth Layer expert?

Without the backing of a world, in Ye Qingchen’s eyes, Li Yixing was nothing more than a toothless tiger, posing no threat. If Li Yixing dared to attack again, Ye Qingchen had a seventy percent confidence of defeating him in three moves!

However.

For Ye Qingchen, this was merely a minor episode.

The confrontation quickly spread, and upon learning that Ye Qingchen had returned, Lu Yanwu, Zheng Jiuling, and Han Buxiu hurriedly went to meet him halfway. Surrounded by a group, Ye Qingchen headed toward Heaven-Shocking Peak.

Just as he stepped onto Heaven-Shocking Peak, he saw Su Moran smiling at him from a misty tower:

”You’re back?”
