Chapter 1340
The Method of Fixing Immortals
If this gets out, it will be enough to drive the entire cultivation world into a frenzy of fighting.
The two made their moves almost simultaneously, without any struggle, only tacit understanding.
With a flash, he arrived at the huge rock like a streak of light, proceeding cautiously, afraid of disturbing this precious plant of heaven and earth.
Upon closer inspection, they were overjoyed and could hardly contain themselves.
In the rock crevices beneath the Seven-Colored Star Grass, there were not only spiritual herbs, but also several fist-sized, snow-white, hard divine iron pieces that exuded an incomparably sharp sword intent!
The divine iron has a smooth surface and a restrained sword intent, yet it constantly reveals a sharp edge that can pierce the sky.
"This is meteorite divine iron!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's breathing became rapid.
Meteorite Iron, taken from stars in the heavens, contains the sword intent of stars and the laws of space. When used to forge swords, it can directly elevate the quality of immortal swords to a whole new level. It is a supreme divine material that is extremely rare and hard to come by.
The two looked at each other and saw excitement and solemnity in each other's eyes.
Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately and carefully dug out the Seven-Colored Star Grass, roots and all, and sealed it in a jade box. He then put all the Starfall Divine Iron into his storage ring.
If any one of these treasures were to fall into the wrong hands, it would cause a bloodbath.
Just as Ye Yang put the last piece of Starfall Divine Iron into his storage ring.
boom!
A terrifying and pure sword intent suddenly erupted from the residual aura of the divine iron!
This sword intent was not aimed at Ye Yang, but went straight into the depths of his sea of consciousness, like countless divine swords being drawn at the same time, with a sharp edge that seemed to tear his sea of consciousness apart.
If an ordinary cultivator were to have this ancient sword intent enter their sea of consciousness, they would suffer damage to their soul at best, and at worst, become an idiot.
Ye Yang, however, was not surprised but delighted, his eyes gleaming.
He immediately sat cross-legged on the spot, closed his eyes, and sank his mind into his sea of consciousness, offering no resistance whatsoever.
At this moment, countless flashes of inspiration burst forth in Ye Yang's mind, like thunder exploding, illuminating the path ahead.
The many doubts that had accumulated in his mind when he watched the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal unleash the Azure Lotus Sword Realm were suddenly cleared up under the washing, cleansing, and guidance of this ancient sword intent!
"I see……"
Ye Yang murmured to himself, his voice filled with the ecstatic joy of sudden enlightenment.
"The Sword Realm is not simply a matter of spatial suppression, nor is it about forcibly distorting the heavens and earth to transform the entire space into a domain belonging to the sword..."
"My heart is the sword, and the sword's domain is my heart..."
"Locking the sky with a sword, sealing the gods with intent..."
Countless profound principles flowed through his heart.
He slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with a sharp light, and a faint, fierce sword intent flowed around him. Although he had not yet made a move, he already possessed a certain charm of swordsmanship.
Although there is still a long way to go before he can truly form his own complete sword realm, he has undoubtedly reached that threshold at this moment.
Just one step away lies a new world.
"Fellow Daoist's comprehension is truly rare throughout history."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal sighed softly in praise.
"You have only been in contact with my Azure Lotus Sword Realm for a few days. If given time, when your cultivation level is high enough, you will be able to condense your own unique sword realm, which may even surpass my Azure Lotus Sword Realm."
Ye Yang slowly stood up, suppressed his sword intent, and regained his composure.
"If it weren't for your protection and your demonstration of the mysteries of the sword realm, I wouldn't have had this sudden enlightenment. Thank you for your guidance."
"No need for formalities."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal waved his hand gently and smiled calmly.
"We travel together, rely on each other, and achieve success together. If you hadn't been there to hold off the Blood Demon Lord, I wouldn't have been able to act with peace of mind, let alone obtain these treasures."
After saying that, he turned his gaze to the deeper part of the second secret realm. In the dark depths, there were faintly stronger fluctuations of spiritual energy and precious light.
"This secret realm has treasures like the Seven-Colored Star Grass and the Starfall Divine Iron right at the entrance. There must be even greater opportunities deeper inside, perhaps even related to the true secrets of the Star Tower."
"Let's go and continue exploring."
Ye Yang nodded, suppressing his excitement and becoming alert.
In the secret realm, opportunities and dangers always coexist, and the deeper you go, the more terrifying it becomes.
Holding the Dragon Abyss Sword and concealing the Evil King Blade, clad in Starry Sky Armor, with his divine sense fully activated, he walked side by side with the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal, step by step heading deeper into the second level of the secret realm.
What they didn't know at that moment was...
the other side.
Outside the Nine-Turn Star Tower.
The Blood Demon Lord was covered in blood, his clothes were torn, and his aura was extremely weak. He knelt on one knee in the void in a sorry state, trembling all over, and did not even have the courage to raise his head.
Before him stood a towering figure shrouded in a thick black robe.
The figure was not tall, yet it seemed to blend into the entire world, its demonic aura surging and deep as a prison, its terrifying presence unimaginable.
He was none other than a demonic cultivator at the Mahayana realm!
Throughout the entire Demon Realm, those at the Mahayana Realm are all powerful figures, high above all others, looking down upon all living beings.
"waste."
The figure in black robes spoke coldly, his voice hoarse and indifferent, devoid of any emotion, yet carrying an aura of supreme authority.
Just those two words were enough to make the Blood Demon Lord tremble uncontrollably, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.
"You couldn't even handle two juniors at the Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm, and you even lost five capable subordinates and fled in a sorry state. Do you even deserve to be called a Demon Lord?"
The Blood Demon Lord lowered his head, clenched his teeth, his heart filled with resentment, but dared not utter a word of rebuttal, and could only endure it with all his might.
The figure in black robes seemed unconcerned about his emotions. His eyes, hidden in the darkness, narrowed slightly as he looked towards the Nine Revolutions Star Tower, a hint of undisguised greed and fervor flashing in them.
"but……"
"Since Ye Yang was able to crush you with his mid-stage Thunder Tribulation Dao Realm cultivation and also activate the Xuanwu phantom to suppress the demon race, it's likely... that legendary Xuanwu Heaven-Suppressing Seal is already firmly in his hands."
"In this way, it's not entirely without gain."
"You stay here and keep watch, conceal your presence, and do not alert them. Wait until they come out of the Star Tower."
"I will personally take his life with a single palm strike, seize his Xuanwu Suppressing Heaven Seal, and the inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower... will also be mine!"
"Yes, Your Majesty! I obey!"
The Blood Demon Lord hurriedly and respectfully responded, bowing his head even lower.
Only after the black-robed figure slowly turned around and disappeared into the depths of the void did the Blood Demon Lord slowly raise his head.
That originally ferocious face was now twisted to the extreme, with resentment, hatred, unwillingness, and madness crawling all over it like poisonous vines.
He stared intently at the direction of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower, his eyes practically spitting fire. In the dark, underground secret realm...
The faint glow of the blue crystal spread in all directions.
Ye Yang and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal put away the Seven-Colored Star Grass and the Meteorite Divine Iron, their expressions filled with undisguised excitement, yet they showed no sign of slackening.
Hidden within the secret realm are both opportunities and dangers; the deeper one goes, the more vigilant and alert one must be.
Holding the Longyuan Sword, Ye Yang gently stroked the blade with his fingertips, sensing the faintly restless spiritual energy within it, and already had a plan in mind.
Having undergone numerous upgrades, the Dragon Abyss Sword was already a rare and superior-grade Dao artifact. Having been tempered through countless battles, it had long since begun to possess spirituality.
Now that I have obtained the Starfall Divine Iron, a supreme treasure for forging swords, if I can supplement it with the essence of stars, I will surely break through the shackles and be promoted to a top-grade Dao artifact, and may even be able to touch the threshold of a celestial artifact.
He turned his head to look at the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal beside him and saw that the sword intent around him had been restrained, but it was still hard to hide his otherworldly sharpness.
“Senior, the spiritual energy in this secret realm is rich and the treasure light is faint. There must be something extraordinary in the deeper parts. Let’s continue.”
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping across the dark passageway around her. With a gentle wave of her jade hand, a cyan sword light enveloped her, transforming into an invisible barrier that isolated any potential dangers from the surrounding area.
"Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. This Nine Revolutions Star Tower is an ancient inheritance site, and each level contains profound mysteries. We must not be careless."
"That ancient sword intent just now, which helped you to comprehend the wonders of the sword world, is already an immense opportunity. If you encounter any more fortuitous events in the future, it will be of great benefit to both of us."
The two walked side by side, their steps light, their divine senses fully activated, cautiously heading deeper into the secret realm.
Along the way, the blue crystals became increasingly dense on the rock walls, and their light became increasingly soft.
The spiritual energy in the air was so dense that it almost condensed into water droplets.
With each inhalation, one feels the Dao energy rapidly flowing through the meridians, and all the pores of the body open up.
After walking for about half an hour, the passage ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a huge stone chamber.
In the center of the stone chamber, a stone platform about ten feet high floats, and on the platform is a transparent stone block, which shimmers with light and exudes auspicious energy.
"That's Star Essence!"
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal's eyes lit up, and he took the lead in stepping forward.
Ye Yang looked up and saw that on the stone platform was a fist-sized, pure white piece of gravel.
This item is the essence of stars, which can not only nourish the physical body but also temper sword intent. It is a supreme treasure for cultivators to break through realms and enhance their strength.
In addition, there was a blue short sword on the stone platform.
The sword gleamed with a cool, clear light, and its blade was engraved with intricate star patterns, faintly shrouded in stellar power, clearly indicating that it was a precious sword imbued with the laws of the stars.
Ye Yang stepped forward and gently touched the Star Essence with his fingertips. A surge of pure star power instantly flowed into his body.
"Such pure star power."
Ye Yang couldn't help but admire.
"With this Star Essence, plus the Meteorite Divine Iron, we are now fully confident in the Dragon Abyss Sword's advancement."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal ran his fingertips over the star patterns on the sword, a hint of approval flashing in his eyes.
"This sword is called the Star Mark Sword. It contains the sword intent of stars and the laws of space. Although it is only a high-grade Dao artifact, it is extremely compatible with my swordsmanship and can be used as a secondary sword."
After saying that, he opened the ancient jade box, inside which lay a roll of yellowed animal hide.
The animal hide was covered with dense star patterns and some blurry lines, clearly forming a map.
"This is... a star map?"
Ye Yang stepped forward, his gaze falling on the animal hide, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
The star patterns on the animal hide are intricate and mysterious, with twisted and intersecting lines that appear chaotic but subtly contain the laws of heaven and earth.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal carefully examined the animal hide, his brows furrowing slightly before slowly relaxing, a hint of surprise appearing in his eyes.
"This is not an ordinary star map, but a fragment of the Star Ruins Ancient Road. Legend has it that the Star Ruins Ancient Road was a passage connecting all the stars in ancient times, containing countless ancient inheritances and rare treasures, but it is also extremely dangerous."
"Spacetime is disordered, and danger lurks everywhere. However, this map is incomplete; it only shows a portion of the Star Ruins Ancient Road."
Upon hearing this, Ye Yang's heart stirred. He reached out and took the animal hide, carefully stroking the star patterns on it, and immersing his consciousness into it.
After a moment, a glint of light flashed in his eyes, and he slowly spoke.
"Senior, look here."
“This mark resonates with my Xuanwu Zhentian Seal in a subtle way. In addition, I can also vaguely sense that there is a faint piece of information hidden in this map fragment.”
As he spoke, Ye Yang channeled the power of the stars within his body into the animal hide.
In an instant, the star patterns on the animal hide suddenly lit up, their light dazzling.
Countless mysterious characters emerged from the star patterns, hovering in the void, exuding an ancient and majestic aura.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal quickly focused his attention and examined the scene closely, his eyes gradually revealing a look of shock.
"The Immortal-Stabilizing Technique..."
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal softly recited the words, his voice trembling slightly.
"The legendary ancient method of immortality that can break through shackles and ascend to immortality is not actually inside the Nine Revolutions Star Tower, but deeper inside the Star Ruins Ancient Road!"
Ye Yang's heart was also filled with turmoil.
The Immortal-Fixing Technique is an unparalleled inheritance that countless cultivators dream of. Legend has it that in ancient times, a cultivator used the Immortal-Fixing Technique to break through to the Mahayana Realm, ascend to the immortal position, and look down upon all living beings.
He originally thought...
The core inheritance of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower lies in the treasures and cultivation techniques within the tower, but unexpectedly, the real great opportunity lies in the Star Ruins Ancient Road.
"It seems that our visit to the Nine Revolutions Star Tower is just the beginning."
Staying inside the tower will only put us at a disadvantage. Instead, let's follow the star map's guidance, leave the Star Tower, and head towards the Ancient Star Ruins Road.
The Azure Lotus Sword Immortal wholeheartedly agreed.
“Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. There must be a Mahayana Realm demon cultivator backing up the Blood Demon Lord. If we stay in the tower, they will find us sooner or later.”
"Although the Star Ruins Ancient Road is dangerous, it also holds countless opportunities and allows one to avoid the sharp edge of the demons."
Without further hesitation, the two gathered their treasures and turned to walk towards the passage at the back of the stone chamber.
At the end of the passage was a teleportation array similar to the one on the first floor, except that this array had runes on it.
Ye Yang and the Azure Lotus Sword Immortal exchanged a glance before stepping into the teleportation array.
With a flash of light, the two figures vanished from the stone chamber, reappearing at the top of the Nine Revolutions Star Tower. (End of Chapter)
