Demon Suppression Valley, the place where the wounded of Cangxing Martial Academy are stationed.

Ye Chen's recent days have been packed tight!

Enhancing cultivation with the Nine Celestial Sword Canon, merging spirit and martial with the Original True Solution and Spirit Martial Creation Technique, and refining tombstones in the third layer of Sword Tomb to temper the sword body.

In just a few days, the gains have been immense!

His cultivation has stepped into the peak of the Sea of Qi, just a step away from the Elemental Wheel Realm.

The fusion of spiritual power, the power of qi and blood, and sword essence, has also reached twenty percent.

The skin, muscles, bones, and blood of the sword body are already undergoing the final step—blood refining!

Now, Ye Chen is in the third layer of the Sword Tomb, engaged in the final cultivation of the sword body, refining tombstones into sword qi to stimulate the bone marrow. This is an important step in blood refining and also the most crucial step in tempering the sword body!

Only by completing this step.

Can the power of the sword body form a perfect cycle, with blood flowing through the skin, muscles, and bones, constantly strengthening the sword body every moment, making it increasingly powerful!

The entire third layer of the Sword Tomb now appears empty, with only two tombstones remaining.

Luo Qingyi, as usual, watches Ye Chen refine the tombstones, lost in thought.

"This brat actually did it, breaking through the first three layers of the Sword Tomb within three months." Luo Qingyi felt infinite emotion in his heart.

As to why it happened so quickly.

Luo Qingyi knew better than anyone.

Ye Chen's mysterious physique played a significant role in the first month or so.

As Ye Chen's mysterious physique quieted down, it all depended on his tenacious and persistent character.

The tempering of the sword body is an intensely painful process, yet Ye Chen seemed completely indifferent to the pain. Even if he often collapsed on the ground, curled up in agony, it wouldn't take long before he stood up, full of vigor, continuing to temper his sword body.

As for the Celestial Demon Remnant Soul...

It has become entirely ornamental.

Using the Nine Celestial Sword Canon in conjunction with the means of the Extreme Celestial Seal Spirit Master, Ye Chen completely disregarded the Celestial Demon Remnant Soul. Now that he's begun merging spirit and martial arts, this situation is even more evident.

During Luo Qingyi's moment of distraction.

Ye Chen simultaneously refined the remaining two tombstones.

Immediately, his spiritual power, the power of qi and blood, and sword essence fused, transforming into a gigantic sword qi!

Within this sword qi, the dazzling white light of sword essence, the magnificent glow of qi and blood, and the splendid golden light of the spirit seal intertwined. The tip of the sword qi and both sides of the sword edge were already enveloped by the power of spirit and martial unity.

"Swish!"

Ye Chen waved his hand!

Two strands of Celestial Demon Remnant Soul, just emerging and yet to merge, dissipated under Ye Chen's sword!

After resolving the Celestial Demon Remnant Soul, Ye Chen's body was engulfed by the sword qi formed from the two tombstones!

The sword qi traversed through his body, imbuing his blood with an extraordinary sharpness.

An hour passed!

The effects of the sword qi formed by the tombstones completely dissipated.

And Ye Chen's sword body finally reached the Great Success Realm!

Ye Chen, filled with excitement, immediately gripped the Celestial Mark Sword with his right hand and slashed toward his left hand.

Of course, he didn't use full strength.

"Swish!"

The sword light flashed.

A bloody mark appeared on Ye Chen's left arm.

You should know.

Even a casual slash from him isn't to be underestimated.

After all, the Celestial Mark Sword is a top-grade spiritual sword.

"Elder Qingyi, look quickly, my sword body has achieved great success. Now, the hardness of my physical body alone should rival that of some ordinary spiritual artifacts!"

Ye Chen's shout snapped Luo Qingyi out of his daze.

"Hmm." Luo Qingyi nodded, then corrected Ye Chen's statement, saying, "You're far from achieving great success in your sword body; you've only just completed the most basic training of the sword body. It's similar to your spirit and martial unity, and as your strength grows, you'll also need to dedicate effort to tempering your sword body. The stronger you become, the stronger your sword body will be."

Ye Chen chuckled, saying, "Elder Qingyi, there's just one day left until the end of our three-month agreement."

Before he could finish speaking.

Implying that Elder Qingyi should fulfill her promise.

Luo Qingyi looked at Ye Chen, saying, "Do you really want to see what I look like?"

Ye Chen vigorously nodded, then added, "Of course, if it's inconvenient for Elder Qingyi, forget it."

"Then let's forget it, follow me, I'll take you to obtain the cultivation technique of the fourth layer of the Nine Celestial Sword Canon."

Luo Qingyi turned around and walked away.

Ye Chen: "..."

Is it really just forgotten like that?

I was just saying casually...

I really want to see it!

Ye Chen felt very frustrated in his heart but still closely followed behind Luo Qingyi to obtain the cultivation technique of the fourth layer of the Nine Celestial Sword Canon.

"In the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb, you will stay for a long time, be prepared."

"Why?"

"Because the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb includes the Elemental Wheel Realm, Primordial Embryo Realm, and Mortal Transformation Realm."

"Ah?"

Ye Chen was a bit confused, as in his understanding, each layer of the Sword Tomb corresponds to a realm of martial cultivation.

But the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb directly includes three realms.

Luo Qingyi explained, "A thousand years ago, these three realms were actually collectively referred to as Nirvana. It was probably later cultivators who felt that Nirvana encompassed too much, so they distinguished it into what you now call Elemental Wheel, Primordial Embryo, and Mortal Transformation."

"I see." Ye Chen said, "Elder Qingyi, I've heard you mention before that after tempering the sword body, it's about gathering sword momentum. I've already condensed sword momentum in advance, so what else do I need to do? Comprehend more sword momentum?"

"No, you don't need too much sword momentum. Your Invincible Sword Momentum is already enough. Next, you need to further strengthen your sword momentum. Other than that, just refine a few more tombstones and deal with the Celestial Demon Remnant Soul whenever you have time."

As they spoke.

The two arrived at the entrance to the fourth layer of the Sword Tomb.

"Here we are, just like before, refine this tombstone to acquire the cultivation technique of the next layer of the Nine Celestial Sword Canon." Luo Qingyi turned to face Ye Chen and said.

As Luo Qingyi turned around.

Ye Chen was completely stunned!

The veil that had always covered Luo Qingyi's face had disappeared.

The face that appeared before Ye Chen's eyes was flawless, a perfect countenance like an ethereal fairy from a painting, indescribably beautiful, and combined with her waterfall-like black hair and proud curves, it seemed crafted by the heavens themselves.

Seeing Ye Chen's reaction, Luo Qingyi felt secretly delighted.

Even compared to Hua Qianxue, Luo Qingyi had the confidence to completely overshadow her in terms of beauty!

"Is it beautiful?"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded.

"Compared to your Hua Qianxue?"

"..." Ye Chen: "Elder Qingyi, this... Your kinds of beauty are different."

"Then tell me, how are they different?"

Ye Chen realized he had dug himself into a hole.

How should he answer?

"Elder Qingyi, perhaps you could let me bite you, and I can analyze from the taste?" Ye Chen said earnestly.

Luo Qingyi's expression instantly turned dark.

Ye Chen shuddered all over and said, "Just kidding, just a joke, don't mind!"

Even such a perfect woman can suddenly change expression, Ye Chen thought to himself.

Luo Qingyi snorted coldly and said, "As beautiful as it is, it's no more than an illusion."

As she spoke, her face and body suddenly distorted as if bending light, then after a moment, returned to their breathtaking appearance.

"Did you see? I have no flesh and blood body, and perhaps in this life, I'll never have the chance to reunite with a flesh and blood body. Even though I appear unchanged from a normal person, I can ultimately never be like a normal person."

Ye Chen consoled, "Elder Qingyi, you are the Sword Spirit of the Nine Heavens Sword God, it's nothing to be upset over not having a flesh and blood body..."

"Who told you I'm a Sword Spirit?" Luo Qingyi glowered at Ye Chen.

Though Luo Qingyi looked good even when glaring, she was quite fierce!

Ye Chen blinked.

Not a Sword Spirit?

He guessed wrong...

Luo Qingyi snorted again, resuming her calm demeanor, "Luo Jiutian, is my father."
