Nine Revolutions Star Technique

This group, seven people.

At the head was an old man, his whole body withered and thin. Although he looked like a decaying piece of timber about to collapse, when he walked he strode boldly, with the gait of a dragon and the steps of a tiger, like a Wolf King; he was clearly no ordinary figure.

Behind him followed three men and three women.

Their auras were all surging and powerful, clearly strong experts who had stepped into the ranks of the Earth Immortals.

The one who had spoken earlier was a young man in the group. His gaze swept over Void Peak; seeing the sparse crowd, his eyes were full of disdain. The others, though they did not speak, likewise could not conceal their contempt!

”Void Peak is under the control of Supreme Elder Marquis Guangjun. Those who can enter this peak are never mediocre; you must never underestimate them…”

The leading old man spoke slowly, hands clasped behind his back.

His name was Zhou Zheng Hall.

He was a Three-star Elder of the Infinite Sect. This time, acting under the sect’s orders, he had come to discuss the Martial Arts Conference regulations with Taotian Palace. As he spoke, he was inwardly puzzled.

The Seven Peaks were the foundation upon which Taotian Palace stood. Any disciple able to enter one of the Seven Peaks was an absolutely stunning figure. Yet what he saw this time was that most of them were only around the Human Immortal Third or Fourth Layer.

Not only were their cultivations low, their aptitudes were even more miserable to behold.

”Elder Zhou!”

”We did not expect that you would come in person!”

At this moment, the Elders sent by Taotian Palace to receive them all hurried over.

Although Zhou Zheng Hall was only at the Earth Immortal Sixth Layer, his status in the Infinite Sect was quite high. The Elders of Taotian Palace naturally did not dare neglect him.

”You flatter me! This time I have come to discuss the Martial Arts Conference of the Thirty-Six Countries of the Celestial South. Taotian Palace, as a Celestial South Major Sect, truly is a land of outstanding people and spiritual fortune!” Zhou Zheng Hall said with a smile.

It was originally just a compliment.

But that young man from before gave a cold snort and said:

”Elder Zhou, I see that these disciples of Void Peak are only a hair stronger than our Infinite Sect Inner Sect Disciples! How are they worthy of being called a land of outstanding people and spiritual fortune? A Taotian Palace like this is simply not fit to be mentioned in the same breath as our Infinite Sect!”

”Guo Hill, shut your mouth!”

Zhou Zheng Hall barked coldly.

The young man, having been reprimanded, did not dare speak further and lowered his head in sullen silence.

Zhou Zheng Hall quickly turned to the several Elders of Taotian Palace and said apologetically, ”It is because this old man has failed to discipline him strictly enough; I beg your pardon…”

The several Elders of Taotian Palace looked at one another, but none of them spoke.

How had Void Peak become this weak?

Was it not because of that life-and-death battle between Ye Qingchen and Ye Xuan, where the three great pillars of Void Peak all fell, and every disciple of any renown on the peak died in that battle? Naturally, there was no one left they could bring out to save face!

Zhou Zheng Hall, seeing the awkward atmosphere, shot Guo Hill a fierce glare, then suddenly noticed not far away two vast auras surging, crashing forth in waves. He hurried to change the topic: ”What powerful auras. I wonder which figures of Taotian Palace are exchanging blows? Might we go and take a look?”

The moment the few Elders saw this, their expressions turned even more troubled.

That was Heaven-Shocking Peak!

That fiend Ye Qingchen was there! Ever since Ye Qingchen’s return, the Elders of Taotian Palace had deliberately been avoiding Heaven-Shocking Peak. They were too busy dodging him; how would they dare deliver themselves to his door?

But seeing Zhou Zheng Hall’s face full of expectation, they could only nod and agree.

In the end, one Elder, bracing himself, warned:

”Elder Zhou, Heaven-Shocking Peak is Su Moran’s territory. However, she is currently in seclusion today, so she’s no cause for concern. It’s just that there is also a Ye Qingchen there, and he is not someone easy to provoke! Be sure not to have any conflict with him, lest you suffer a loss!”

”I’ll keep that in mind!”

Zhou Zheng Hall said with a smile.

But the others, upon hearing this, all wore expressions of utter disdain. Especially Guo Hill from before, who secretly sneered.

’Just from those two auras, they’re merely a bit beyond Earth Immortal at best. How would we suffer a loss? These Taotian Palace Elders must have lost face earlier and now want to scare us!’

When they reached the rear mountain of Heaven-Shocking Peak, they immediately saw Ye Qingchen and Han Buxiu exchanging blows.

They saw that.

Ye Qingchen stood where he was, one hand behind his back. With just his other hand he was easily fending off Han Buxiu’s attacks. Although Han Buxiu’s strength was not weak, the gap between him and Ye Qingchen was far too great; Ye Qingchen could easily slap him to death even with one hand.

Thus Ye Qingchen had no choice but to suppress his cultivation to the Earth Immortal First Layer to fight Han Buxiu. Even so, he still pressed Han Buxiu so hard the latter could not lift his head.

Their Powerful Qi blasted in all directions, the spectacle astonishing.

”It’s those two? Which one is Ye Qingchen?”

Guo Hill said with a half-smile, half-smirk.

The others also widened their eyes, full of ridicule.

Even Zhou Zheng Hall slightly furrowed his brows.

When they had heard him mentioned earlier, they had thought the ones fighting were some extraordinary figures. But now that they saw it with their own eyes, they were bitterly disappointed; he was not worth mentioning at all.

”Yes!”

One of the Elders said in a low voice, ”The attacking one is named Han Buxiu. He was once the Direct Disciple of Ye Xu Kong, and now he has already entered Heaven-Shocking Peak. As for the one defending, that is Ye Qingchen… remember, do not provoke him!”

Guo Hill and the others, upon hearing this, all wore faces of disbelief.

Even Zhou Zheng Hall remained silent. With his level of insight he could naturally see that while Ye Qingchen far surpassed those people of Void Peak, he was still not at a level that would make them feel fear.

”Only Earth Immortal Third Layer, his cultivation on par with mine… nothing more than that!” Guo Hill slowly shook his head. He looked at that Taotian Palace Elder who shunned Ye Qingchen as though he were a venomous snake or a scorpion, and said with a half-smile, ”Has Taotian Palace really run out of people? To actually fear this kind of existence?”

That Elder said awkwardly, ”The two of them are just practicing. You have not seen Ye Qingchen’s methods, so naturally you don’t know how formidable he is.”

In Taotian Palace, who didn’t know that Ye Qingchen might look harmless to man and beast, but was in fact a Demon God who could not be provoked? Who knew how many people had fallen for his tricks; to this day, Marquis Guangjun was still being suppressed at the foot of Void Peak!

But none of them believed a word of this.

They only thought the other side was putting on airs to save face.

As they were speaking.

The battle between the two had already produced a victor.

They saw Han Buxiu, having attacked for so long without success, preparing to reverse the situation with the Spring and Autumn Sword Scripture. But who would have thought that Ye Qingchen, with a backhanded finger strike, had already broken his opening move.

”Mr. Ye, I’ve lost!”

Han Buxiu retreated several steps, his face full of dejection.

”You’ve only just stepped into Earth Immortal; you still need to temper yourself well, and must not harbor any other thoughts.” Ye Qingchen instructed, ”On the path of Martial Dao, you must forge ahead bravely and must not shrink back in fear.”

Han Buxiu had been feeling somewhat discouraged.

Thinking back.

Back in the Valley of Life and Death, the two of them had been similar in strength. But now, even when he used his full strength, he could not withstand even a casual strike from the other. Hearing Ye Qingchen’s words, his expression steadied and he quickly said:

”I’ll remember that!”

Lu Yanwu, Sea of Zhou, and Zheng Jiuling, who were watching around them, all cheered excitedly.

However.

Just then.

A voice suddenly cut in:

”Ye Qingchen, is it?”

”I wonder, do you dare have a bout with me?”

Ye Qingchen turned his head and saw Guo Hill, face full of a cold smile, already striding into the arena.
