Nine Revolutions Star Technique

In the blink of an eye, three months had passed.

East Sea.

The vast expanse of misty waves appeared ethereal and immortal.

At this moment, the Star Extreme Scattered Islands had already returned to their former peace, but the vast empty waters at the center of the archipelago, along with the violent Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi contained within, still proclaimed to the world the celestial battle that had shaken the East Sea not long ago.

Many speculated that this young man might replace Zou Ji Dao, consolidate the entire Star Extreme Scattered Islands, and become the ruler of the East Sea.

Indeed, many have come hastily to pay respects to this so-called First Earth Immortal, and future ruler of the East Sea. But unfortunately, with Ye Qingchen’s current status, mortals could no longer approach him.

Cloud-Breaking Island.

An island outside the Star Extreme Scattered Islands.

Ye Qingchen stood facing the vast East Sea, enveloped in misty clouds, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.

”Splash!” ”Splash!”

Each time he inhaled and exhaled, it was like a dragon’s breath, vast and timeless. Even the raging sea before him swelled with colossal tides, rising and falling incessantly.

This was already his third month of cultivation here.

After sitting cross-legged for a long time.

Ye Qingchen’s body trembled, his wildly rising aura finally slowly stabilized.

”Phew, finally broke through!”

Ye Qingchen slowly opened his eyes.

That day, although he used the Heaven-Breaking Profound Extremity Pointing to kill Yu Hongqing, he also suffered a backlash from the technique. If it were anyone else, they would have been completely pulverized by the force of the Heaven-Breaking Profound Extremity Pointing.

But Ye Qingchen relied on the powerful physique cultivated by the Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique to forcibly withstand it. Unexpectedly, it was a blessing in disguise, as he advanced the Star River chapter of the Nine Revolutions Star Technique to Great Perfection and entered the fifth chapter, the ’Star Sea’!

Ye Qingchen’s overwhelming True Qi transformed into countless brilliant stars, casting onto the sky above, like the endless East Sea!

”Is this the entire Heaven and Earth firmament?”

Ye Qingchen gazed up at the sky and sea.

In that moment.

He felt the vast cosmos was by his side, almost as if upon stepping into the Celestial Immortal realm, he could take whatever he wanted and command at will. He could also follow his intentions and create myriad laws with a single thought.

”Unfortunately, it’s still not enough! Still one step short!”

Ye Qingchen sighed inwardly, these three months of arduous cultivation cost too much, and the collected Heavenly and Earthly Treasures were consumed like flowing water.

After stepping into the Celestial Immortal realm, he discovered that the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures he obtained from the Enchanting Sea Region and those tributes from the major Island Masters of Star Extreme Scattered Islands were entirely depleted!

After all, the amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi required to reach Celestial Immortal was just too immense.

People like Su Moran, Yu Hongqing, and Zou Ji Dao first entered the Half-Step Earth Immortal realm, accumulated enough power, and then slowly made their way to Celestial Immortal.

”According to my original plan, I was hoping to forge the Sea Meridian in one go!”

”The ’Ancient Dragon Elephant Technique,’ acupoints, golden skin, jade bones, and silver blood have all been cultivated. The fifth chapter is precisely the Sea Meridian! Once it’s completed, my shattered meridians will immediately heal!”

Of course.

This is not a traditional form of healing but a complete reshaping of the meridians, a transformation and rebirth.

”Unfortunately, the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in the East Sea have been completely scoured by me. It’s impossible to find higher-level Heavenly and Earthly Treasures in a short time... Even if they exist, who knows where they’re hidden in the East Sea, and how much effort it would take to find them!”

Ye Qingchen stroked his chin.

”Thirty-Six Sects!”

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes slightly raised his head, and looked into the distance.

There, the Southern Heaven was located.

The actions from Taotian Palace against him over the years would not be forgotten. Now that he’s reached Celestial Immortal, it’s a perfect opportunity to settle the scores thoroughly!

...

Luo Lin’an, upon hearing of Ye Qingchen’s emergence, immediately hurried over, her mind in turmoil. Ye Qingchen was seen with his hands behind his back, standing on a reef, gazing out at the vast roaring sea, lost in thought from afar.

Recalling two years ago, when he first came to the Kunlun Realm, he was merely an insignificant figure.

Marquis Guangjun, Lu Xingzhou, Ye Xu Kong, and the Sect Leaders of the Thirty-Six Sects, were each like deities in the clouds. And he was just a mere ant.

But now, two years later, some of them are dead, and the entire East Sea has been trampled under his feet.

Now, his sister Ye Qing is still in the Ice and Snow Divine Palace. But his father remains missing.

Luo Lin’an was slightly taken aback, having never seen Ye Qingchen in such a state: ”Are you going back to Southern Heaven?”

”That’s right!”

Ye Qingchen slowly turned around and nodded.

”Why do you need to go back to Southern Heaven?” Luo Lin’an pleaded,

”Back then, Zou Ji Dao spent his entire life plotting, and barely became the underground leader. More than half of the East Sea didn’t acknowledge him. Now, you’ve killed five Celestial Immortals consecutively, your reputation surpasses Zou Ji Dao’s by a hundredfold!”

”Now, you’re the uncrowned king of the East Sea. With just a wave of your arm, tens of thousands of island masters of the Star Extreme Scattered Islands would immediately proclaim you as the leader, becoming the true ruler of the East Sea!”

Seeing Ye Qingchen’s unchanged expression, she seemed to guess his intention, and couldn’t help but sigh,

”After all, Southern Heaven is inland with enormous and prosperous resources. Who knows how many Celestial Immortals are hidden without showing themselves! Moreover, the Thirty-Six Sects have an extensive influence, possibly having connections with the Western Wilderness and the Central Capital!”

With these words, a trace of pleading appeared in Luo Lin’an’s eyes, ”Also, aren’t you considering Su Moran’s feelings by going back to confront Taotian Palace...”

Su Moran?

Ye Qingchen’s gaze flickered slightly, then he shook his head: ”Even if I’m willing to let things go, do you think people from the Thirty-Six Sects would agree? If we stay in one corner, once the Thirty-Six Sects regain strength, would they tolerate our existence?”

The Thirty-Six Sects would not tolerate him.

Moreover.

He had compelling reasons to return to Southern Heaven.

Then, regardless of Luo Lin’an’s disappointment, he handed her a token.

”This is the token for the Enchanting Sea Region!”

”With this token, you can freely enter and exit the Enchanting Sea Region. Although there are not many Heavenly and Earthly Treasures left, the Spiritual Qi there is incomparable to that of Star Extreme Scattered Islands.”

After saying this, Ye Qingchen turned and left.

”Mr. Ye!”

”Mr. Ye, don’t go...”

Luo Lin’an called out several times, but Ye Qingchen showed no sign of stopping. Instead, his figure gradually vanished between the sea and sky. Seeing this scene, she could only stomp her foot in frustration.

Leaving Cloud-Breaking Island, Luo Lin’an arrived at a small courtyard where Su Moran was waiting:

”Ye Qingchen left?”

Her head remained down as if she had anticipated it.

”You knew all along?” Luo Lin’an complained, ”Why didn’t you stop him?”

”The decisions he makes are never something anyone can change. Besides, his vision has never been limited to the Star Extreme Scattered Islands of the East Sea!” Su Moran leisurely sipped a bowl of sake.

”Taotian Palace from top to bottom has already completely decayed and being buried by him is actually the best outcome!”

Nearby, Bai Ji gazed quietly at the East Sea, her eyes deep, vast, and endless.
