Nine Revolutions Star Technique

"Heaven and earth plunge into catastrophe, the extinction of all living things!"

The introduction of the blood-written prophecy is a line written in blood.

This blood-written prophecy is crafted from the counterpart’s robes, using silkworm silk that does not decay for a thousand years nor perish for ten thousand, impervious to water and fire. The text is entirely written in fresh blood, each word resonating with anguish.

"Heaven and earth catastrophe?"

Ye Qingchen was shaken. He recalled seeing such a phrase carved on a stone tablet outside Bodhi Mountain’s White Horse Temple, but described there with ominous portent.

Could it be that this records the catastrophe?

He pondered, and quickly read on.

"I, who entered the Immortal Sect from a young age, have diligently cultivated for three thousand years, finally achieving Celestial Immortal and becoming the Supreme Elder of the Penglai Immortal Sect. Today, the great catastrophe rises, sweeping across the heavens..."

Next, the owner of the blood-written prophecy, ordered in crisis to resist the catastrophe, seeking a chance for his fellow sect members to escape.

Alas, the catastrophe was too powerful, nearly as rampant as a storm breaking trees. In less than three hours, it swept across the entire Immortal Sect, shattering the entire island to pieces.

Yet they could not annihilate any opponents.

Towards the end, the prophecy further expressed endless regret, its words striking directly at the heart.

"Commanded to resist the catastrophe, what courage must that have taken." Even Ye Qingchen was moved. He paused for a moment, silently bowing slightly to the remains before surveying the whole island anew.

"So it was!"

"This Enchanting Sea Region was once an Immortal Sect, entirely dispersed when the catastrophe struck, into hundreds of islands. Now these hundreds of islands are scattered throughout this sea region!"

Looking around.

Ye Qingchen could see expanses of broken walls and remnants, as well as abruptly ended islands.

One could imagine.

This was once stronger than White Horse Temple, even the combined force of the Thirty-Six Sects couldn’t equal a tenth of it, yet when the catastrophe came, it had no ability to resist in the slightest!

"Wait a minute, if the entire Penglai Immortal Sect was completely shattered, wouldn’t all my painstaking efforts be for nothing?"

Ye Qingchen’s expression turned a bit gloomy.

After much difficulty, he found an island, which turned out to be the main altar of a great Immortal Sect. But the whole altar was scattered and fragmented, even if there were any treasures, there probably wouldn’t be much left.

This left Ye Qingchen quite disheartened.

"Enough, enough, since I’m here, I can’t leave so simply, let’s see if there’s anything I missed!" Ye Qingchen opened up his divine sense and quickly began a search.

Nevertheless.

After all, it was Penglai Immortal Sect; though it was scattered into hundreds of islands, Ye Qingchen still managed to find quite a few Spirit Medicines.

"Hundred Spirits Flower, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures over three thousand years old..."

"Water Ghost Fruit, growing in watery places, its fruits shaped like dragons, can purify Qi Blood and advance True Qi!"

"Dragon Blood Tree, legend has it watered by dragon blood, able to grow as a Heavenly and Earthly Treasure, is a holy item for healing, used to restore Qi Blood..."

Due to these islands being untrodden for thousands of years, the Heavenly and Earthly Treasures growing here are plenty, and their grades are not low. Every plant is at least a thousand years old.

"Indeed, it’s an Immortal Sect. Simply relying on these Spirit Medicines, I can easily concoct several large batches of potent medicine; not only can I effortlessly heal my injuries, perhaps I can also enhance my cultivation!"

Ye Qingchen almost scoured the entire island, finding more than ten Heavenly and Earthly Treasures, each equal in level to the Celestial Essence Fruit of the Nine Bends River.

There were also quite a few miscellaneous Spirit Medicines.

His biggest surprise was the discovery of a Spirit Spring approximately three meters in diameter, without any hesitation, he immediately set up the cauldron, preparing a batch of potent medicine!

"Rumble!"

He immediately took out the Crimson Mist Cauldron.

This Alchemy Furnace seemed to have grown a bit since his time in Panlong City. The flames enveloping its body were even denser, hotter. Merely its presence caused the surrounding temperature to rise by several degrees.

"Sha!"

Ye Qingchen chanted a seal with his hands, and a stream of light flashed by, as numerous Heavenly and Earthly Treasures flew into the cauldron.

"Clang!"

Then.

As he waved his hand, the lid fell down.

One day, two days, three days...

Ye Qingchen peacefully sat in front of the Crimson Mist Cauldron, diligently refining the batch of potent medicine.

With such vast Spiritual Qi as support, at least seventy percent of his labor was saved. He only needed to channel his True Qi, keeping the furnace fire burning.

In addition to this, he found a scroll documenting the Enchanting Sea Region’s Array in the ruins, though only one or two segments, it allowed Ye Qingchen to understand the outside situation without leaving the island.

Frol and others had thoroughly fallen into the Enchanting Sea Region; however, since they were Half-Step Celestial Immortals, with group efforts, they wouldn’t face any mortal danger.

But it wouldn’t be simple to come and go as they wished.

"Today, I can be fully healed!"

Ye Qingchen sat atop a massive azure stone, and swallowed the painstakingly refined elixir in one gulp.

Boom!

The pill transformed into a surging torrent upon entering his body, like molten rock descending into his throat, threatening to burn his internal organs to ash. The fearsome power gushed back, swelling his body as if about to burst it open.

"Come on!"

Ye Qingchen, unalarmed, delighted, rapidly formed seal gestures with both hands.

Allowing this powerful force to flood into his body, it continuously purified his internal organs, muscles, bones. His aura rose constantly, like water levels surging!

The rushing True Qi was like a swirling fog, ceaselessly boiling around his body, seemingly crazily condensing!

"Boom!"

Until a certain moment, this True Qi amassed to its peak and swiftly exploded, transforming into a visible massive wave sweeping across the surroundings.

This terrifying wave crashed around, causing the surrounding rocks, ruins, and trees to turn to powder.

Centered around Ye Qingchen, within a radius of several miles, it was like a hurricane passing through.

"Finally succeeded!"

Ye Qingchen opened his eyes, letting out a long breath.

At this time.

The Spiritual Qi fluctuating around him finally calmed down. Surrounding him, resembling a flawless Star River, gazing afar, it was dazzling to the utmost, like a deity from Ancient Times who held the sun and moon.

"The fourth Chapter of the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, ’Star River,’ has finally been cultivated to Great Perfection!"

"If it wasn’t for the battle at Black Water River, at my current cultivation speed, it would take at least another three years. Surely every life-and-death struggle is a breakthrough opportunity!"

He slowly rose, clenching his fist, feeling the terrifying power within, akin to endless volcanoes, nodding to himself.

"But unfortunately, with my current strength, attempting to take on Frol and the others head-on would still result in the previous outcome; at most, I can only kill a few more..." Ye Qingchen stroked his chin.

Among the thirty-five Half-Step Celestial Immortals like Frol, though he slew seven, many reinforcements subsequently arrived, not reducing their number but increasing it.

Ye Qingchen looked at the light screen before him, his gaze suddenly sharp, noticing the absence of several figures that once pursued him:

"Hmm?"

"Where have Jiang Ran of Sword Vein Sect, Hong Feiping of Seven-Star Sword Sect, and Chao Tian of Cyan Mist Sect gone, have they not entered the Enchanting Sea Region?"

"Or have they already detoured to Star Gathering Scattered Island?"

Boom!

In an instant.

Ye Qingchen’s eyes darkened, and a murderous intent churned within his heart.

...

Scratch!

Amidst the constant wind and rain, in a corner of the Enchanting Sea Region, a gap silently torn apart, a young man in a blue robe with black hair stepped through.

It was Ye Qingchen!

"Finally out!"

Ye Qingchen exhaled a long breath, glanced back at the seemingly never-ending sea region. Amidst the frenzied thunder and lightning, figures could be seen darting through.

"Frol, you all stay obediently in the Enchanting Sea Region for now!"

"After I resolve matters on Star Gathering Scattered Island, I’ll come back for you!"

Ye Qingchen squinted his eyes, filled with an air of murderous determination.
