Nine Revolutions Star Technique-Chapter 588 - 591: Return to the Peak

"Grandfather, what’s wrong?"

Liu Piaopiao asked with suspicion. In her memory, she had never seen anything that could make her grandfather lose his composure like this.

Her gaze swept over the Jade Pupil Scroll in Liu Yuanzhong’s hand, and she suddenly had an inkling. She tentatively asked:

"Grandfather, could it be about this young man?"

"Precisely!" Liu Yuanzhong nodded.

"At such a young age, being able to refine Celestial-grade top-grade Elixirs is indeed rare, but it’s not enough! It’s said that disciples of other Pill Immortals achieved this several years ago."

Liu Piaopiao shook her head.

Following Liu Yuanzhong, she had seen many alchemical geniuses, and those who were astonishingly talented were countless. Ye Qingchen was talented, but not top-notch.

Especially when compared to the disciples of the Pill Immortals, there was still a significant gap.

Could it be that there’s something questionable about the boy’s identity?

"About a month ago, this boy killed an Inner Sect Disciple of the Ten Thousand Gods Sect, Du Di." Liu Yuanzhong continued, "That Du Di’s cultivation had reached the Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer!"

"Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer?"

Liu Piaopiao exclaimed in surprise.

Such cultivation was rare among the younger generation, and if nothing went wrong, he would certainly step into the Human Immortal Realm in the future. That young man was actually able to kill such a genius? 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Yet, she was increasingly puzzled:

"Such a martial arts genius is indeed rare, but to grandfather, he’s just barely above average, not the very best. This year, the candidates for the Taotian Palace selection, Tuoba Ye and Wu Xingyun, are both Celestial Venerable Ninth Layer existences!"

In the Kunlun Realm, talent abounded, and there were countless individuals stronger than him.

"If it were just this, it naturally wouldn’t shock me." Liu Yuanzhong sighed quietly, "This young man is not of the Kunlun Realm. About a month ago, he suddenly appeared, seemingly tearing through space to arrive!"

This time, Liu Piaopiao’s expression finally changed.

She knew.

She had also accompanied her grandfather down to the lower realms a few times to search for rare Spirit Grass. But the Spiritual Qi there was so scarce; compared to the Kunlun Realm, it was like a desert.

Moreover, the martial arts heritage and alchemical knowledge in the lower realms were far from comprehensive compared to the Kunlun Realm.

This young man actually came up from the lower realms?

"This young man must have a boundless future! Even if he can’t be taken as a disciple, we must befriend him." Liu Yuanzhong said with a smile.

"Really?" Liu Piaopiao was entirely skeptical.

Liu Yuanzhong smiled faintly, without confirming or denying her statement.

Because he understood, that this young man who could ascend from the lower realms not only possessed the cultivation to slay a Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer but also had the ability to refine Celestial-grade top-grade Elixirs. One could only imagine what an astonishing talent he was in his world!

...

As for Ye Qingchen and the Sea of Zhou.

The two left the Longevity Pavilion and found an inn in Lintian City to stay.

Inside the room.

Ye Qingchen sat cross-legged and took out a jade gourd.

However.

He did not immediately consume it but first set up a vigilant array around him. After all, this was the Kunlun Realm; it’s safe to be cautious.

After preparing everything, he then tapped the jade gourd, and instantly, nine round, radiant, and dazzling elixirs fell into his hand.

"Begin healing!"

Clearing his mind of distractions.

Ye Qingchen’s eyes suddenly sharpened, and a vast and incomparable aura emanated from him.

Instantly.

The expansive aura of a Celestial Venerable swept forth.

If anyone were present, they would feel the aura, though immense, was unstable, carrying an elusive and unclear sensation. This was an indication of unhealed injuries!

"Now!"

As the aura gradually stabilized, Ye Qingchen’s eyes flashed, and the nine Celestial-grade top-grade Elixirs were already swallowed by him.

Boom!

The immense medicinal power contained within the nine Celestial-grade top-grade Elixirs surged forth like a breached flood, uncontrollable and wild. If one couldn’t resist, they would be physically overwhelmed by this medicinal power!

Even Ye Qingchen, at this moment, couldn’t help but tense up, not daring to relax in the slightest!

"Splash!"

Next moment.

A sound like waves crashing erupted from within his body, as if a mighty sea roared.

"Ugh!"

Even Ye Qingchen couldn’t help but let out a muffled groan.

He felt as though the sinews, muscles, skin, and bones of his entire body were about to be torn apart by this medicinal force.

However.

Despite this, he wasn’t panicked; instead, he was filled with joy.

Allowing the immense medicinal power to continuously flood his body, washing over every inch of his muscles, bones, internal organs, and even his Dantian like ocean waves.

His injured body, like parched land, greedily absorbed the medicinal power. Gradually, even the hidden ailments and old wounds in the corners of his body were restored under the cleansing of this medicinal power.

Until the last injury was healed, and the turbulent aura calmed down.

"Whew, finally recovered!"

Ye Qingchen opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

At this moment, the tidal medicinal power within him was mostly consumed, transformed into gentle streams circulating continuously inside. Slightly clenching his fist, he could feel the surging power within his body.

"Such a long-lost feeling! I feel like I’ve never been this seriously injured in my life! The only regret is that I was unable to step into Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer this time."

Ye Qingchen stroked his chin, unable to hide his regret.

Even during the battle with Feng Wuxie, when he was pushed to the brink several times and ultimately used the Heaven-Slaying Immortal Sword Scripture, he didn’t spend an entire month recovering like this time.

He initially thought that during this healing, he might break through his cultivation, but due to insufficient medicinal power in the end, he had to give up.

"My strength is still too low. I need to find a way to quickly reach the Celestial Venerable Fourth Layer! But this is the Kunlun Realm, so there should be more Heavenly and Earthly Treasures than the Barbaric Continent."

"Then, whether participating in the Kunlun Realm Taotian Palace selection or facing the Ten Thousand Gods Sect in the future, it won’t be like the battle with Du Di where I was exhausted to the brink!"

Thinking of Du Di, a shadow passed through Ye Qingchen’s eyes.

For him, and indeed for the Barbaric Continent, the Ten Thousand Gods Sect has always been a massive threat. The heavy losses the Ten Thousand Gods Sect suffered this time won’t go unanswered; sooner or later, they will come after him.

Then, what he might face would likely not just be one strong Celestial Venerable Seventh Layer, but perhaps dozens, or even a hundred.

With this in mind, he called Sea of Zhou, asking him to find out if there were any Heavenly and Earthly Treasures or places where he could accelerate his cultivation.

Initially, Ye Qingchen thought it would take at least ten days to half a month or so.

But unexpectedly.

In just three days, Sea of Zhou returned in a rush, bringing with him unexpected news.
