Nine Revolutions Star Transformation-Chapter 563 - 80: Are There Experts Beyond the Saint Martial Realm?

Chu Linfeng led Xiaoying and the Purple Demon Thunder Fox towards Ye Suping’s room. Since he was planning to enter closed-door cultivation, he needed to inform them and introduce Xiaoying to everyone.

Meng Ji was very familiar with Xiaoying, while the other girls knew only a little. They were stunned to learn it was an Ancient Spirit Beast.

After Chu Linfeng briefly explained his intention to cultivate, he turned to leave, leaving the girls puzzled and confused about his abrupt decision.

"Sister Ping, do you think Lin Feng is upset with us? He wanted us to accompany him, but none of us did. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be so eager to cultivate. He just came out of the Star Chamber not long ago," Nie Ling’er said.

"I’m not sure. Maybe we did go a bit too far. How about we all accompany him tonight, to reassure him during his cultivation?" Ye Suping suggested.

No one would speak of the happy moments Chu Linfeng secretly shared with the girls; everyone felt he cared for each of them individually, attributing special attention to themselves.

"It might be too late now; Lin Feng should already be in cultivation by now. I think we should wait until he comes out, then accompany him. He needs to understand some things can’t be forced, even though we all love him deeply. Some matters can’t be sacrificed," Meng Ji said at this time.

"Right, Meng Ji’s right. Lin Feng can’t be too indulgent. A man should prioritize his career rather than drown in romance all day; it actually harms him. He has many tasks to complete," Ouyang Qian agreed.

The Purple Demon Thunder Fox, seeing the girls’ slightly disappointed expressions, smiled and said: "Don’t worry unnecessarily. Our big brother really needs to cultivate this time. Just take care of his children."

At this time, Chu Linfeng found He Juan to delegate some sect matters and took the Star Shining Stone from her hand to enter the underground chamber.

Returning to the Star Chamber again, Chu Linfeng felt indescribable. He had stayed here for a year, completely unaware of what was happening at the time—a thought that made him feel dazed.

During this cultivation, Chu Linfeng had two tasks: first, to retrieve Qingshuang’s memory, not entirely but significantly more than before; second, to fully merge the Five Transformations, so the Five Elements Power would truly manifest within his body, no longer merely Chaotic Dragon Power but Five Elements Dragon Power, enhancing his strength immensely.

At this moment, Chu Linfeng sat on the ground, deciding to first restore some of Qingshuang’s memory, which might aid his fusion of the Five Elements.

Chu Linfeng took a deep breath, calming his mind, and slowly expanded his Divine Sense into the Reincarnation Bracelet. It was his second time entering this vast space, so large it was hard to describe.

Previously, he tried probing the matters within the Reincarnation Bracelet with his Divine Sense but was repelled by an invisible force. Although he wasn’t injured, he couldn’t enter.

The Sword Spirit told him only by using the Reincarnation Bracelet could he enter. To re-enter, he’d have to use the bracelet again, whose aftereffects were massive; Chu Linfeng knew them well.

Chu Linfeng’s Divine Sense was much greater now than before, and soon he found Qingshuang’s location and came before him.

Qingshuang said, "I didn’t expect you to advance to this realm in just one year; impressive. Do you have many questions you want to ask me?"

"Yes, can you give me all your memory now? Without it, many tasks are challenging. What really happened between the Blood Emperor and the Netherworld Lord back then? Weren’t they said to have fallen? Why does his shadow appear?"

Qingshuang’s specter froze slightly, "The Blood Emperor appeared? It seems he found the rare Innate Earth Spirit Body. If the Blood Emperor appears, nobody in Canglan Ancient Land can match him. You must have used the Reincarnation Bracelet related to him!"

"Correct. Without using it, I’d surely be dead; with it, he died instead. Although I couldn’t kill him fully, I destroyed the body he possessed. Should he wish to possess another body, he’d have to recover first, which won’t be possible for years," Chu Linfeng said.

Surprised, Qingshuang said, "You defeated the Blood Emperor? Looks like you used Star Slash. Your current strength shouldn’t allow that; even Celestial Slash is daunting. I didn’t expect you could manage; truly, I chose well."

"Is there another move after Star Slash? What’s its name? What realm must I achieve to learn it?" Chu Linfeng asked.

"There are two more moves. I only learned up to the Sixth Form back then, unable to learn the Seventh Form, or I wouldn’t have been forced to reincarnate. The Sixth Form is called Divine Slash, far more powerful than Star Slash but consuming terrifying amounts of Star Power.

Even at my realm then, I could only barely execute it, never truly using it, for deploying it might erase even the Divine Battlefield, affecting Canglan Ancient Land.

I don’t know the name of the last move; perhaps those with strength surpassing the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm could perform it. You must find the Netherworld Purple Orchid to breakthrough to the Saint Martial Realm first," Qingshuang said.

Chu Linfeng listened, his heart surged. He trusted Qingshuang completely; when he simulated Star Slash in his mind, he felt the move could level areas miles wide at least, maybe more.

"Surely there’s a realm beyond the Ninth Layer of Saint Martial Realm? Has anyone broken through it?" Chu Linfeng asked, knowing the Sword Spirit came from another world, perhaps where those surpassing the Ninth Layer reside.

"You know a lot after all. Indeed, Canglan Ancient Land is just an ordinary place. True experts are those who break past the Ninth Layer. They seem to directly cross into another place, but I don’t know where exactly. I saw it in an old book.

Some reason caused the passage to that world to be sealed long ago, so it hasn’t been done for millennia. Breaking through the Ninth Layer necessitates something special, like the Netherworld Purple Orchid needed to reach Saint Martial Realm. You’ll have to discover this secret yourself."

"This world is indeed complex. If I enter again, you’ll disappear completely, won’t you?" Chu Linfeng asked, noticing Qingshuang’s figure growing fainter.

"Almost. In truth, I am you, and you are me. Now I’ll transfer more memory to you!" Qingshuang said, and soon Chu Linfeng’s mind was flooded with vast amounts of information...
