Nine Revolutions Star Technique

That dazzling sword rainbow, originally reached from heaven to earth. It was a sword condensed by the Thousand-Handed Buddha with a thousand eyes! Powerful enough to split mountains and stones, divide heaven and earth, and reduce any veteran Earth Immortal to ashes!

Originally, it came mightily toward the sky.

But under Ye Qingchen’s sword light, as brilliant as stars, it silently shattered, and vanished on the spot!

”Ding!”

Only a crisp sound was heard.

The sword rainbow disappeared.

And Ye Qingchen’s Star Sword was already resting on the thousand eyes gathered by the Thousand-Handed Buddha. The eye of the Thousand-Handed Buddha Sword Array was precisely on this eye!

”Crack!”

The Thousand-Handed Buddha, originally continuing to operate, suddenly shuddered as if struck by lightning. Immediately, along the sword tip, countless cracks spread out, under the incredulous gazes of the crowd.

The Thousand-Handed Buddha burst apart, transforming into pieces of golden light that scattered in all directions.

”The array is broken?”

Jin Tianhao’s eyes almost popped out.

The grand array from before, were it him, it might have taken hundreds of years to break it. Yet Ye Qingchen dismantled it effortlessly, which was beyond his imagination.

”Breaking this array is not difficult, as long as you can discern the array eye!”

Ye Qingchen said indifferently.

Jin Tianhao, upon hearing this, had a bitter smile on his face.

Even a novice in cultivation understands this principle, but who can achieve it? Among those present, who could be like Ye Qingchen, carrying this sword array to confront the Buddha?

”Let’s continue!”

While thinking, Ye Qingchen had already stepped forward and pushed open the Bronze Gate.

The Thousand-Handed Buddha Sword Array outside the Bronze Gate is the largest array outside the Celestial Immortal Tomb; though they encountered plenty of restrictions afterwards, most were casually broken by Ye Qingchen.

It only required some technique, and since the tomb had existed for an unknown duration, the power of the arrays had started to weaken, posing little difficulty for Ye Qingchen.

”Is this the Celestial Immortal Tomb?”

In everyone’s view.

This being, as a former disciple of Vajra Temple, surely did something outrageously malevolent. Inside this tomb, it was expected to be filled with bones, but the reality exceeded people’s expectations.

Inside the tomb, it was constructed like an ordinary temple, with Futu Temple, Scripture Hall, Ksitigarbha Hall, Scripture Pavilion, Arhat Hall, and even Guest Hall, Zen Room, Vegetarian Hall, Sleeping Hall...

It was simply a massive temple.

”Mr. Ye, it’s empty inside!”

The Withered Bone Ancestor eagerly entered the Scripture Pavilion and Medicine Hall, but returned, full of regret. Hearing this, the others quickly opened the other temple doors, finding those grandeur halls empty.

”Didn’t we come here for nothing?”

The crowd was in uproar.

They put in so much effort, risking their lives, thinking they found a Celestial Immortal Tomb, only to find nothing, leaving their expressions somewhat unpleasant.

”Plop!”

The crowd passed through doors with yellow nails and red paint, arriving before the final Great Hero Hall.

”This is the last place in the tomb; if there’s nothing here, we’ll all leave empty-handed!” Chu Zhongyun sighed.

Upon hearing this, everyone felt regret.

Only Ye Qingchen, expressionless, stepped forward inside.

Then.

In the center of the Great Hero Hall, they saw a solemn Buddha statue, surrounded by various Bodhisattvas and Arhats. Upon seeing these statues, everyone’s gaze just couldn’t leave them.

The Withered Bone Ancestor rushed forward swiftly like a steed to a statue, shouting joyfully:

”Mr. Ye, Mr. Ye...”

”This is Thousand Illusion Glaze Gold! That’s Azure Stone! That’s Crimson Nether Iron! Surely a Celestial Immortal; it’s too extravagant to use such top-tier materials for the golden body of statues!”

”Too extravagant!”

The Withered Bone Ancestor ground his teeth.

The others were equally shaken.

These are all top-tier materials for forging and array arrangements, materials they might acquire one or two of in their lifetime, but here, there are hundreds!

Even Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but feel secretly awed.

If the tomb master had used these materials for arrays rather than statues, he wouldn’t have entered so easily.

”Hmm!”

Though nodding, his gaze remained fixed on the hand of the Buddha statue in the Great Hall. Specifically, as if performing a Flower-picking Pointing, holding a grain-sized, golden-glow bead.

”What’s that?”

Frowning, Ye Qingchen casually took the bead.

This bead, neither gold nor jade, rugged – even with his eyesight, he couldn’t discern the material. As Ye Qingchen wondered, a faint vitality emanated from the bead.

”Oh?”

At this moment.

Nobody knew the shock roiling within his heart.

Remember.

Ye Qingchen had used the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture multiple times, nearly depleting all vitality. Though currently an Earth Immortal, seemingly invincible in Chu Zhongyun’s view.

Yet he knew well, his life hung by a thread, beneath which was an abyss!

Despite all efforts, none restored his vitality. But this seemingly ugly bead, replenished his vitality, proving it no ordinary item.

’I wonder if Su Moran knows about this bead – perhaps showing her could minimize the harm from my use of the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture!’

Ye Qingchen, pondering, addressed everyone:

”I’ll take this bead! As for the golden bodies of the statues, I’ll take two-tenths; you have no objections, right?”

”We have none!”

Chu Zhongyun and the others quickly shook their heads.

They had long noticed Ye Qingchen’s actions. Without Ye Qingchen, they couldn’t even have entered. Even if Ye Qingchen took nine-tenths of the tomb’s contents, they wouldn’t dare object.

”To me, all the golden statues in the Celestial Immortal Tomb combined are less important than this bead!”

Ye Qingchen wore a cheerful smile.

With this Treasure Bead in hand, it ensured his vitality and no further worries.

Thereupon.

The crowd divided the golden statues and left, leaving behind an empty Great Hero Hall and a devastated valley.

Until more than half a day passed.

With Buddha light appearing, several martial monks from Vajra Temple finally reached the valley.

Upon stepping through the opened Bronze Gate, seeing the Great Hero Hall swept clean, they turned pale.

”Heavens! How could this happen?”

Then.

A mournful scream resounded throughout the Celestial Immortal Tomb:

”No, something terrible has happened!”

”Dharma Tribulation and Fa An are missing, the Celestial Immortal Tomb was explored, the Relic is gone...”
