Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 407 - 418: The Martial Skill within the Cyan Frost Sword

"You currently do not have the conditions to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Star Body. Wait until your strength reaches above the Fifth Level of the Divine Martial Realm! Lin Feng, for now, you should absorb the energy from the green liquid and break through slowly. I believe you’re not far from breaking into the Second Level of the Divine Martial Realm," the Sword Spirit said.

Once again, Chu Linfeng felt like a bucket of cold water had been poured over him by the Sword Spirit. He had accepted that he couldn’t practice Wood Transformation, but the inability to break through to the Fifth Layer of the Star Body really frustrated him to the point of wanting to vomit blood.

The Sword Spirit’s words revealed a serious problem: only by reaching the Fifth Level of the Divine Martial Realm could one break into the Fifth Layer of the Star Body. After acquiring the Gold Spirit Pearl, only then could the Wood Transformation be practiced. Every single practice required Fifth Level strength, yet he was only at the First Layer, making it feel as challenging as ascending to the heavens.

After taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, Chu Linfeng took out the green liquid and began absorbing it. Initially, he wanted to absorb the energy from the Life Essence, but he felt that the energy from the green liquid was stronger. To break through, he chose the fastest method.

The energy from the green liquid slowly entered Chu Linfeng’s body, then merged with the Chaotic Dragon Power. As time passed, on the third day, Chu Linfeng felt for the first time that he was about to break through.

At that moment, the Divine Star Pill began to operate on its own, and the Divine Dragon on it blinked its eyes.

Chu Linfeng slowly adjusted the powerful Chaotic Dragon Power within the Divine Star Pill, allowing it to circulate through his body’s meridians. After three circulations, a crisp sound emanated from the position of the Divine Star Pill within his body.

"I’ve broken through!" Chu Linfeng opened his eyes and said with joy.

At this moment, he felt the Chaotic Dragon Power in his body had become even stronger. After breaking through one realm, all sorts of sensations about his body seemed to have changed. Most notably, his perception power was significantly enhanced, allowing him to clearly sense the slightest movements even dozens of meters away.

After stretching lazily, Chu Linfeng stood up, poured himself a cup of tea at the table, and said to the Sword Spirit, "Sister Yue’Er, I remember when Meng Ji asked me to hand over the Cyan Frost Sword, a black shadow suddenly appeared within it. He said that even if I didn’t break the seal, I could still learn the martial skill inside. Is that true?"

"Why are you suddenly asking about this? Do you want to learn the martial skill within it?" the Sword Spirit asked in surprise.

"That’s right. Now that I’m at the Second Level of the Divine Martial Realm, although the Demon-Breaking Fist is powerful, it can’t be used with the Cyan Frost Sword, and the Wind Chasing Sword Technique is too weak. I need to learn a powerful martial skill. Only then can I have a standing in the Canglan Ancient Land by combining it with the Water and Fire Transformation," Chu Linfeng said.

"The true power of the Cyan Frost Sword can split the heavens and earth, but unfortunately, the seal is too strong. Without Celestial Martial Divine Water and the Holy Jade Snow Lotus, it cannot be undone. Perhaps you could try communicating with it using your Divine Sense; it might have unexpected effects, though I can’t guarantee success," the Sword Spirit said.

Chu Linfeng had this idea in a moment of whim, and upon hearing the Sword Spirit’s words, the Cyan Frost Sword appeared in his hand. He then began to examine this divine weapon considered a superb Divine Artifact.

The sword body of the Cyan Frost Sword was still rusted and mottled. Chu Linfeng extended his Divine Sense, attempting to penetrate into the sword body.

As soon as his Divine Sense touched the sword body, it was rebounded by a powerful repelling force, making him feel a dizzying sensation.

"Damn! How powerful!" Chu Linfeng exclaimed in surprise. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Perhaps he had acted too hastily, so he tried again. This time, instead of directly probing with his Divine Sense, he closed his eyes and slowly sensed the changes on the Cyan Frost Sword’s blade.

Chu Linfeng discovered the rust spots seemed alive, constantly pulsating, but it seemed a faint halo on the sword body kept these pulsating rust spots trapped inside.

Shocked, Chu Linfeng thought the faint halo might be the key to sealing the Cyan Frost Sword, but he had no idea how to pass his Divine Sense through the halo to enter the sword body.

He remembered that when Meng Ji connected with the Demon Lord inside the Cyan Frost Sword it was due to the resonance caused by the blood in her hand, but he wasn’t of the Demon Race, so he couldn’t replicate that.

The Sword Spirit’s suggestion to use Divine Sense seemed impossible, leaving Chu Linfeng with a feeling of wanting to give up.

Just as Chu Linfeng was about to stop perceiving the Cyan Frost Sword’s situation, a faint voice was heard in his mind. The voice seemed very ethereal but also genuinely real.

Startled, Chu Linfeng opened his eyes, muttering to himself as he looked at the Cyan Frost Sword, "What was that voice? Could it be the residual soul of the Demon Lord inside the Cyan Frost Sword speaking?"

Although he thought it unlikely, he couldn’t find another explanation at that moment, leaving him with no choice but to consider it as such.

"Qingshuang, I didn’t expect you’ve already broken through to the Divine Martial Realm. It seems your prophecy back then was correct," the voice echoed in Chu Linfeng’s mind.

Utterly shocked, Chu Linfeng clearly remembered the voice belonged to the Demon Lord, unexpectedly able to communicate with him.

Stirred, he asked, "Demon Lord, do you know me?"

"Of course, I know you. I wanted to speak with you long ago, but your realm was too low to perceive me. I know everything about you, and I’ve been imprisoned by you for ten thousand years. I wonder when you will lift the seal on the Cyan Frost Sword to release me," the Demon Lord said.

"My memory hasn’t fully returned yet. You said I imprisoned you for ten thousand years; what is that about? If I break the seal on the Cyan Frost Sword, won’t you intend to take revenge on me?" Chu Linfeng asked.

He considered the implications, especially concerning Meng Ji, pondering which side she would choose if he and her father clashed.

"It seems your memory hasn’t fully returned. The supposed imprisonment isn’t like that at all. I specially let you confine me, and we jointly completed the seal on the Cyan Frost Sword, including your reincarnation, which was my idea. All of this should be discussed when you regain your memory," the Demon Lord said.

The more Chu Linfeng listened, the more confused he became, feeling that the Demon Lord might not be his mortal enemy after all. However, the Demon Lord’s reticence left him no choice but to ask about the martial skills within.

"Demon Lord, you know my strength is too weak without strong martial skills. In this world where might makes right, surviving is difficult, especially since unsealing the Cyan Frost Sword will be challenging. So, I hope you’ll tell me the martial skills inside it," Chu Linfeng said.

"These martial skills are inherently yours. Of course, you should practice them, but I have one condition. If you can fulfill it, I’ll tell you one form every time you break through a realm," the Demon Lord said.

Though Chu Linfeng didn’t understand why the Demon Lord would impart the skills one realm at a time instead of all at once, he inquired further.

"What is it that you require? Please speak directly!" Chu Linfeng said...
