The power in Qi Cultivator's palm is quite formidable.

Wherever the Cloud Mist Hand Seal passes, it raises billowing waves of energy.

Just as the Cloud Mist Hand Seal is about to land on Ye Chen, the force within Ye Chen's body explosively emerges without reservation.

"Swish!"

The Celestial Mark Sword thrusts straight out.

Three Sword Intents: Gale, Blazing Fire, and True Wood, erupt simultaneously.

The Gale Sword Intent and True Wood Sword Intent enhance the power of the Blazing Fire Sword Intent!

The roaring flames burn away the mist.

If Little Phoenix were to help by spitting another mouthful of fire, the power of this sword could be increased by another two to three percent.

However, this time, Ye Chen did not have Little Phoenix join.

It's just one move from Qi Cultivator, Ye Chen wants to resolve it with his own strength!

With the stroke of Ye Chen's sword, the Cloud Mist Hand Seal cast by Qi Cultivator is immediately torn open.

Ye Chen's sword technique changes again!

The Metal Essence Sword Intent manifests, perfectly demonstrating the incredible speed of the Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword, unleashing scores of strikes in an instant!

"Boom!"

Before the Cloud Mist Hand Seal really lands on Ye Chen, it's sliced into pieces by Ye Chen's sword, exploding violently and kicking up a terrifying wave of energy.

Qi Cultivator's face suddenly changes dramatically.

With his esteemed Unity Realm Second Layer cultivation, using the Qi Family's Earth Tier top-grade martial arts, the strongest move of the Eighteen Cloud-Picking Hands, it was so easily broken by Ye Chen...

It's as if his head has been struck hard.

Suddenly, a sense of danger arises in Qi Cultivator's heart, and he immediately sidesteps.

"Swish!"

A beam of sword light passes over his forehead.

Qi Cultivator feels a frightful chill, narrowly avoiding having his head pierced by a sword!

Though he avoided it.

But the hair at his forehead was cut off, the skin at the forehead was sliced, blood oozing out, covering his face.

Not only Qi Cultivator, but everyone watching the commotion is also stunned beyond belief.

Just now, almost no one believed Ye Chen would easily overcome Qi Cultivator's move and suffer great losses.

Who could have thought... Ye Chen so easily cracked Qi Cultivator's move, remaining unscathed while making Qi Cultivator utterly disgraceful.

Hall Master Xiao of Seven Stars Hall, with glittering eyes, involuntarily shows a look of deep admiration on his face.

He realized Ye Chen's every strike just now landed on each key point of the Cloud Mist Hand Seal!

In other words, Ye Chen has completely unveiled the secret of the Qi Family's Cloud-Picking Eighteen Hands!

Of course, even grasping the mystery of Cloud-Picking Eighteen Hands, Ye Chen breaking this move with Fifth-Layer of Primordial Embryo Realm cultivation is still quite unbelievable; the sword moves he displayed in an instant perfectly utilized the fusion of Sword Intent, thus achieving this effect.

As for the Sword Qi that suddenly appeared beside Qi Cultivator... it was Ye Chen's stroke in the instance he resolved the Cloud Mist Hand Seal, perfectly using the shock of that moment, making everyone overlook his action, and that Sword Qi itself was quite exquisite, hidden in the space's crevices.

The more Hall Master Xiao pondered, the deeper his admiration for Ye Chen grew.

If only he could beat Tian Bugui, he could forcibly recruit him into Seven Stars Hall.

In the scene, Qi Cultivator's face is covered in blood, appearing fierce.

Ye Chen smiled faintly, "I said, bringing out such trash martial arts like the Cloud-Picking Eighteen Hands is merely disgraceful, have you now believed?"

Though the Martial Arts True Eye Divine Technique is impressive, Ye Chen clearly understands that without Qi Chuan's preceding actions, deciphering Qi Cultivator's Picking Stars and Catching the Moon would indeed be tough.

When dealing with Qi Chuan, although Qi Chuan couldn't exert the full power of the Cloud-Picking Eighteen Hands, he cultivated it exquisitely, allowing Ye Chen to unravel many secrets of this martial art.

Quantitative changes lead to qualitative changes, this is what constrained Qi Cultivator's move!

"Qi Cultivator, the move is over, why aren't you leaving?" Ren Ying stepped forward, seeing Qi Cultivator's dismal state, felt immensely pleased.

Hall Master Xiao of Seven Stars Hall also spoke, "Qi Cultivator, you are a descendant of the Qi Family and a key focus of Cold Frost Hall's training, show some dignity, otherwise, with such a mindset, how can you shoulder important responsibilities!?"

Qi Cultivator lowered his head, his eyes filled with sinister cruelty, "Thank you, Hall Master Xiao, for your guidance. Qi Cultivator will certainly keep it in mind!"

After speaking, Qi Cultivator grabbed Zhao Hu, who was wailing on the ground, and left the area.

"Everyone disperse, the cultivation time in Azure Leaf Grotto Heaven is precious, don't gather here," Hall Master Xiao said once more.

The onlookers also gradually departed.

Hall Master Xiao walked up to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, any interest in joining our Seven Stars Hall?"

"…" Ye Chen, "Thank you, Hall Master Xiao, for considering me, but I have already joined Bright Hall, it's impractical to change allegiances now."

Hall Master Xiao looked regretful, "So be it, in the future, you're welcome to visit Seven Stars Hall more often; whether it's Seven Stars Hall or Bright Hall, they belong to True Martial Hall, existing to resist alien races.

Even if you don't join Seven Stars Hall, you can also try our Seven-Star Sword Array.

Alright, I won't disturb your continued cultivation, I'll make a move first."

Once Hall Master Xiao also left.

Ren Ying smiled, "Ye Chen young brother, Miaofa Hall is still worth considering."

Ye Chen said, "Miss Ren, I..."

Ren Ying's face instantly darkened.

Snide brat.

Just addressing me Sister Ren Ying moments ago.

I just fought alongside you, and now you are being callous, not calling me sister anymore?

"Call me Sister Yingying!" Ren Ying snorted.

"..." Ye Chen, "Sister Yingying!"

Ye Chen deeply learned about not provoking angry women.

Whether Elder Qingyi, Miss Hei, or Miss Hua… all are the same, angered women are terrifying.

Seeing Ye Chen's embarrassed look, Ren Ying laughed, twisting her waist close to Ye Chen, whispering gently, "Does Sister look beautiful?"

Ye Chen nodded, "Beautiful."

"Miaofa Hall has many more beautiful than Sister, not considering? Rest assured, even if you change to Miaofa Hall now, Tian Bugui won't dare cause trouble; our Hall Master is Tian Bugui's aunt."

"Not interested, a man must adhere to his choices once made!" Ye Chen quickly said.

If I go to Miaofa Hall, with so many sisters… imagining it all gives me a headache, how could anyone practice?!

Ren Ying chuckled, "Alright, won't tease you anymore, continue your practice, if there's an opportunity, I'll take you out on missions."

"Your injuries?"

"It's minor, no big deal, but of course, if you want to help heal me, that's fine." Ren Ying joked.

Ye Chen shook his head hurriedly.

Training is crucial… besides, his skill is only in fighting, not healing...

After Ren Ying also left, Ye Chen settled down, sending a message into Sword Tomb.

"Miss Qing!"

A long time later.

Luo Qingyi's voice with a hint of killing intent resonates in Ye Chen's mind.

"Are you courting death?"

Ye Chen shivered all over.

Miss Hua, Miss Hei, now inviting Miss Qing, so orderly and neat.

It seems Elder Qingyi is somewhat resistant, Ye Chen promptly changed his phrasing, "Elder Qingyi, how powerful is the Sword Array?"

"That depends on the Sword Array." Within Sword Tomb, Luo Qingyi smiled slightly, though her voice was icy.

"The Seven-Star Sword Array."

"Never heard of it, but if you're interested, you might as well learn it, there's also Sword Array inheritance in Sword Tomb, although you haven't accessed it yet, it could serve as a foundation for learning other Sword Arrays."

Ye Chen responded, then quickly resumed his cultivation.

The cultivation time in Azure Leaf Grotto Heaven is too precious, must seize the time, can't afford to waste!

......

Time flies.

As Ye Chen's cultivation in Azure Leaf Grotto Heaven approaches its end.

The mallets pounding Ye Chen's body, sword seed, and Spirit Seal Gold Lump, abruptly vanish.

A sharply fierce aura bursts from Ye Chen's body, his whole being like an unsheathed, sharp Divine Sword.

Ten days of ardent training have yielded substantial results!
