The hammer formed by spiritual power fiercely pounded in Ye Chen's spiritual sea.

"Boom boom boom!"

The golden spiritual seal fragments were hammered into a mass bit by bit, and the powerful shock continued relentlessly.

With each strike, Ye Chen's body seemed to tremble as if shocked.

Master Legs, who had just been sent flying by Luo Qingyi, ran back again... his leg hair flying wildly, and after a while, he said, "Is his spiritual sea really able to withstand such hammering?

No, wait, I almost forgot, this kid's bloodline is of the ancient primeval tribe, his spiritual sea is vast and stable, so he can withstand this nonstop hammering, and his endurance is incredibly exaggerated...

If in this world, even he can't successfully cultivate the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique, then no one can!"

Luo Qingyi couldn't be bothered with Master Legs, she still felt uneasy, in case there really was a problem with the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique...

But given the current situation, Ye Chen had already taken a do-or-die approach, making it impossible not to continue his cultivation!

At that moment.

Ye Chen, who was controlling his spiritual power to transform into a hammer to strike the golden spiritual seal fragments, suddenly opened his eyes and said, "Elder Qingyi, Master Legs, I have an idea."

"Speak!"

Luo Qingyi's voice was icy cold; she had strong opinions about this matter and wasn't going to calm down easily.

Ye Chen said, "Cultivating the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique is somewhat akin to a blacksmith forging metal. Our Ye Family once had a blacksmith shop in Qingyun City, and as a child, I often played there.

Forging metal requires skill; relying solely on brute strength is exhausting and yields poor results.

If you use a bit of external force... like heating the metal before forging, it's twice the result with half the effort!"

Luo Qingyi: "..."

This little brat really wasn't afraid of death; he even wanted to use fire to burn the spiritual seal fragments in his spiritual sea...

Master Legs excitedly said, "Now that you mention it, this could indeed be worth a try... however, our strength can't help you, because the temperature of the flame, you must control it yourself, only you know best the limits that your spiritual seal fragments can endure."

"That's easy, didn't I already collect a strand of Little Phoenix's soul essence... there should be Phoenix Flame in it, just burn it with Phoenix Flame!"

"No way!" Luo Qingyi immediately objected, "The power of the Phoenix Flame is extremely terrifying, it could instantly burn your spiritual seal fragments to ashes."

Ye Chen grinned and said, "Alright, I understand."

Then he closed his eyes again, controlling the soul essence of Little Phoenix, unleashing a blaze to burn the spiritual seal fragments.

He just wanted to check if this method would work.

Since Master Legs said it would, he'll use it!

As for Luo Qingyi's opposition... there's no time to worry about that; cultivating the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique is an extremely daring and risky decision, a little more risk doesn't matter.

As the Phoenix Flame began to roast the golden spiritual seal fragments, those hard pieces started to soften.

A moment later, Ye Chen quickly withdrew the Phoenix Flame, manipulated his spiritual power to form a hammer, and hammered away!

On the outside.

Luo Qingyi's face was livid; she noticed that Ye Chen was using the Phoenix Flame!

Ye Chen... was growing wings, more and more he was disregarding her words.

"Now that's a man; whatever he does, he should have his own insights." Master Legs laughed and said, "Luo Qingyi, he's no longer a clueless little guy, you should let go and let him walk his own path."

Luo Qingyi rarely didn't glare at Master Legs murderously; she fell into contemplation.

Little Phoenix Zizi, curled up nearby, felt very aggrieved.

Phoenix Bloodline... and still being ignored!

......

In Yellow Sand City, the great battle had ceased, and Hua Qianxue was leaving alone.

Suddenly, a middle-aged woman tore through the space and appeared in front of Hua Qianxue.

Hua Qianxue stopped, looking at the woman, her previously worried expression disappeared, and she returned to her usual aloofness, with a murderous tone, "You followed him?!"

The woman said, "He is protected by a high master, I followed for a while and then retreated."

"Tell me, can Ye Chen still recover!"

"What shattered was his Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal essence, even though the mysterious master behind him is strong, it's still not enough to reverse this, but with that mysterious master there, Ye Chen won't die."

A flicker of melancholy flashed in Hua Qianxue's eyes.

Ye Chen's Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal was shattered, even if he survived, his path of spiritual and martial unity was completely cut off, he could only become a pure martial artist in the future.

However, in Hua Qianxue's heart, endless hope for Ye Chen arose instantly.

Even if he can no longer unite spiritual and martial, Hua Qianxue still believes that one day, Ye Chen will become the world's strongest martial artist!

"Hua Qianxue, it's time you come with me," the woman said, "Your Hua Family hails from the Flower God Sect, at your birth, the Hua Mu Ancestor of your family discovered signs of awakening the Hundred Flowers Saint Body within you.

So, he returned to the Flower God Sect to seek the Hundred Flowers Spirit Liquid, back then he made a promise, that if your Hundred Flowers Saint Body fully awakens, you'd go to the Flower God Sect.

Besides that, the Sect Leader also promised on the spot that if you truly fully awaken the Hundred Flowers Saint Body, the Sect Leader will personally take you as a disciple!

I know you don't want to go, that's why earlier, you planned to burn all your Hundred Flowers Saint Body bloodline, and I didn't stop you because doing so is entirely futile, the Hundred Flowers Saint Body isn't something you can destroy at will.

Besides, I also know you don't want to go to the Flower God Sect because of Ye Chen, but now Ye Chen is ruined, he's gone, and in this small Cangzhou, there's nothing worth your attachment anymore."

Hua Qianxue said lightly, "I will go to the Flower God Sect, but I won't be the Sect Leader's disciple, I want to be the contemporary Saintess of the Flower God Sect!"

She believes Ye Chen won't just be defeated, Ye Chen's future will surely be incredibly brilliant.

Therefore, she can't be left behind. Otherwise, in the future, she could be pinned to the ground and bullied by Ye Chen, unable to stand up.

The middle-aged woman revealed a smile and said, "Becoming the contemporary Saintess isn't something anyone can just decide, but you've awakened the Hundred Flowers Saint Body, you have the qualifications to compete!"

"I say I can, so I certainly can," Hua Qianxue walked forward, "Let's go."

......

Half a month passed quickly.

The news of Ye Chen appearing in Yellow Sand City after leaving Cangxing Martial Arts Academy has spread across the Great Zhou Dynasty.

In Yellow Sand City, Ye Chen personally killed a legendary powerhouse of the Heaven-Reaching Realm from the Great Qin Dynasty, a news that once again shook humanity.

Half a year ago, he was just a down-and-out youth with a Gathering Yuan Realm Fifth Layer cultivation, yet in this half year, he has created countless miracles.

As a prisoner, he singlehandedly annihilated his foes in Qingyun City, then joined Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and became a disciple of the Spirit Martial System.

Thereafter, he advanced with an incomparably mighty stature.

First place in the Cangxing Martial Arts Academy freshman trials!

In the Feijian Martial Arts Hall of Unparalleled County, he crushed the entire young generation of the Celestial Sword Sect!

In Demon Suppression Valley, he obliterated the demonic source inside the demonic lair, unparalleled meritorious deeds!

In the Martial Arts Academy showdown, he clinched the top spot in both team and individual competitions!

In Jiulong City, with one sword, he split the Prime Minister's Mansion!

Within Lingyun Mountain, he left no trace of the elites from the Great Qin Dynasty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Thousand Spirits Sect, and even used the great formation of Lingyun Mountain to ambush and kill a legend of the Thousand Spirits Sect!

Retaliation from various sides began, thirteen legends besieged Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, and Ye Chen shouldered most of the pressure, successfully saving the day!

Upon closer count... to date, twelve legends have fallen because of Ye Chen!

Everyone believes that even if Ye Chen leaves now, it won't take long before he returns with unparalleled brilliance, to annihilate all his enemies!

However...

In Yellow Sand City, in order to kill a legend, Ye Chen's Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal shattered...

Without the Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal, Ye Chen lost his trump card of Spirit Martial unity, and his future... was buried along with it.

A star meant to shine brilliantly in the sky is now dust-covered, never to shine again.

Sighs, regrets, countless thoughts.

Of course, there are many who, with a stone in their hearts finally laid down, feel relieved, as Ye Chen no longer poses a threat, and even if Ye Chen returns one day, there's no need to worry anymore.

The atmosphere at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy is incredibly heavy, even the air seems to have grown dense.

"Elder Yang, Ye Chen... won't just remain dormant like this, I believe in him!" Ouyang Shang said gravely.

He intended to divine fate to see Ye Chen's destiny, but found no trace of Ye Chen whatsoever.

Yang Tianji sighed heavily, his head full of white hair lost its luster, and he instantly aged like an elderly man nearing twilight.

The two stood at the highest point of Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, watching everything around them.

In front of the Crumbling Cliff of the Spirit Martial System, inside the Spirit Control Room, Yuan Polu and Liu Meng'Er were diligently training.

At the Spirit Tower, Yu Sheng, with his grandson Yu Hui, bid farewell to Elder Bai Mei.

In the Star Martial System, Qu Xiao was also bidding farewell to Hu Wenhui; she too was leaving Cangxing Martial Arts Academy.

In the distance.

Sword King Chu Feng, along with his son Luo Tian, departed, their figures slowly vanishing.

"The growth journeys of these young people have officially begun, the future belongs to them, and I believe they will all come back!"

Ouyang Shang sighed once more.

......

"Splash splash!"

The great river rolled, muddy waves surging.

A sword-shaped jade pendant, accompanied by river water and sand, drifted away; half a month had passed.

Inside the Sword Tomb.

Over half a month, Ye Chen burned the fragmented spirit seal with Phoenix Flame, then repeatedly hammered it with Spiritual Power, and finally beat all the fragments into a mass.

The first step in training the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique was finally complete.

As Ye Chen completed his training.

Luo Qingyi and Master Legs simultaneously exclaimed, "Succeeded?"

Ye Chen responded with a hum and said, "They have merged into one, but it looks so ugly... just like a lump of gold."

Master Legs laughed, "You still find it ugly? Kid, you truly don't know how blessed you are, you've already taken the first step to becoming the strongest Spirit Master in the world!"

Previously, Ye Chen's Extreme Celestial Spirit Seal, even though formed by nine groups of spirit patterns, there certainly must be other such prodigious beings in this vast world.

But should you master this Heavenly Forging Seal Technique completely... then in this world, only you shall possess it!

Luo Qingyi didn't say anything further; although recalling Ye Chen's arbitrary actions made her frustrated, she also realized her dominance had gone too far, occasionally reflecting on herself recently.

Master Legs chuckled and said, "Next, you need to reforged your lump of gold into the Unique Spirit Seal; you can't keep hammering recklessly like before.

You should first thoroughly comprehend the Chaotic Cloak Celestial Spirit Hammer recorded in the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique, as this is the supreme legacy of the artifact refining world, the only method to craft the Unique Spirit Seal!"

Ye Chen replied with a hum. In recent days, all his focus had been on hammering the broken spirit seal recklessly, without time to comprehend the mysteries of the Heavenly Forging Seal Technique; now he could finally relax a little, really needing to ensure he understood the cultivation technique fully first!

And at this moment.

In the area where the sword-shaped jade pendant was adrift, the originally clear skies suddenly turned gloomy and dark.

In the sky, a stone gate engraved with mysterious patterns appeared, faint and dim.

This stone gate seemed to connect to another world.

When the form of the stone gate became solid from ethereal, a terrifying aura swept out from behind the stone gate!
