Day by day, time passed.

Ten days later.

Ye Chen's injuries had mostly healed.

Although he no longer had the nourishment of that mysterious warm flow within, he had been provided with pills by the Star Pill division during these days.

Otherwise, at a normal pace, Ye Chen would not have hoped to recover in less than a month.

During these ten days.

Ye Chen had already mastered the Earth Sword Intent and the True Wood Sword Intent, and his control over these two types of sword intents had improved to a level similar to his control over other sword intents.

Currently.

Ye Chen had mastered the Slaughter Sword Stance, the Gale Sword Intent, the Thunder Sword Intent, and the Five Elements Sword Intent.

Besides, the Sword Spirit of the Top-grade Spiritual Sword in his hand had also undergone a breakthrough, reaching the level of a Spiritual Sword. It could attempt to devour other swords to also elevate the sword body to the level of a Spiritual Sword.

Ye Chen had killed many people from the Celestial Sword Sect and had some Spirit Swords in his Storage Ring.

However, for his sword to ascend to a Spiritual Sword, it had to devour a Spiritual Sword.

And Ye Chen only had one Spiritual Sword.

That was a slender sword he had obtained after killing Gu Lan Jiao of the Celestial Sword Sect, Gu Yue's daughter.

A Middle-grade Spiritual Sword.

As Luo Qingyi had said, each stage of the Sword Control Celestial Scripture could only devour another sword once, so it had to devour a top-grade Spiritual Sword!

Just have to wait a bit longer!

On this day.

Ye Chen entered the Sword Tomb and looked at Luo Qingyi, saying, "Elder Qingyi, I've already mastered the Five Elements Sword Intent proficiently, but how can I obtain the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique?"

This was an Earth Tier lower-grade sword technique.

Ye Chen had been longing for it for a long time!

Luo Qingyi raised a hand and gestured.

"Boom!"

The Sword Tomb shook, and then, the remaining tombstones flew up piece by piece, merging together.

The graves that suppressed the residual souls of the Celestial Demons also all exploded.

The Celestial Demon's residual souls charged out and fused, transforming into a black giant python with a diameter of four or five meters.

"Solve this Demon Python, and then refine that tombstone; within it lies the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique," Luo Qingyi said.

"Alright!"

As soon as Ye Chen finished his sentence, he instantly entered a state of union with his sword and charged towards the Demon Python.

Spirit Waves Crash!

Seven sets of Tier Two Blade Spirit Patterns granted his spiritual power immense sharpness, rushing straight towards the Demon Python.

The Demon Python was made of the residual souls of Celestial Demons.

The impact of spiritual power caused tremendous harm to the Celestial Demon's residual soul.

"Boom!"

Half of the Demon Python's head exploded.

Ye Chen had already rushed to the front of the Demon Python, slashing down with his sword.

The remaining half of the Demon Python's head was severed by this slash.

"Whoosh!"

The vigorous gale swirled, and the Demon Python's tail lashed fiercely at Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stepped out.

Heaven-Ascending Step!

The Demon Python's tail struck an empty spot.

Ye Chen had appeared above the Demon Python, raising his Spirit Sword high, lightning flashing, and cut down fiercely.

Thunderous Wrath!

"Swoosh!"

The Demon Python's tail was severed.

Ye Chen, in mid-air, swept his sword horizontally, emitting bursts of Sword Qi.

The Demon Python's body instantly exploded into fragments.

The battle ended!

Watching Ye Chen's actions, Luo Qingyi secretly nodded.

Undeniably, Ye Chen had grown.

He now had his own understanding of combat.

He knew how to leverage his advantages to end fights quickly.

Recalling the pitiful appearance of Ye Chen when he first entered the Sword Tomb, it seemed as if it were just yesterday.

Looking at the current Ye Chen, though his figure was somewhat thin due to recovering from severe injuries, he had already developed an air befitting a mighty one.

Ye Chen landed gracefully, standing before the enormous tombstone formed by the fusion of many smaller ones. Operating the second layer of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual's technique, his Sword Essence emerged and wrapped around the tombstone.

The tombstone gradually dissolved.

Then transformed into a world of Sword Intent.

Amidst countless Sword Intents, Ye Chen remained unmoved.

The power of Sword Intent had already been mastered in abundance; now, the most important thing was the Earth Tier lower-grade Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique.

From the Spirit Sword in Ye Chen's hand, Sword Intents of Geng Metal, True Wood, Dripping Water, Fierce Fire, and Earth burst forth.

The Five Elements Sword Intent formed a cycling flow amongst themselves, endlessly revolving.

In the world of Sword Intent where Ye Chen stood, other Sword Intents dissipated, leaving only the Five Elements Sword Intent.

Subsequently, the remaining Five Elements Sword Intent in the world of Sword Intent transformed into five gigantic strands of Sword Qi.

The five strands of Sword Qi shot towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen neither dodged nor evaded, allowing the five strands of Sword Qi to rush to his front and into his body.

"Boom!"

In Ye Chen's mind, a thunderous crash resounded.

Within his memory, a figure emerged.

This figure drew and retracted a sword, beginning to perform the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique.

The figure's body also bore lines symbolizing meridians, demonstrating the power operation method of the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen stood on the spot, his eyes slowly closing, gradually immersing himself in the Earth Tier lower-grade sword technique of the Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique.

This sword technique comprised six moves.

The first move, Golden Extreme Sky-breaking Sword, a sword of slaughter focused on ultimate speed.

The second move, Wood Extreme Thousand Entwined Sword, a sword of control focused on manipulating the battlefield.

The third move, Sea-covering Sword, a balanced sword primarily focused on offense and defense.

The fourth move, Heaven-Burning Sword, a sword of burst damage focused on area attacks.

The fifth move, Earth Extreme Dragon Sword, a defensive sword primarily focused on substantial power.

The sixth move, Five Extremes Yin Yang Sword, using the Five Elements to transform Yin and Yang, evolving infinite mysteries.

Having initially understood this Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique, Ye Chen slowly opened his eyes.

Luo Qingyi also walked over and said, "Your cultivation now has reached the Sea of Qi Realm, but you have yet to obtain the cultivation technique of the third layer of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual. Come on, go now to open the third-layer Sword Tomb and obtain the technique, then use the third-layer Nine Heavens Sword Manual technique to re-temper your Qi Sea."

Previously in the Luoyao Mountain Range, in order to kill someone from the Celestial Sword Sect, Ye Chen broke through directly to the Qi Sea Realm First Layer without having obtained the subsequent cultivation technique.

But after reaching the Qi Sea Realm First Layer, he could no longer break through, limited by the incompleteness of the cultivation technique.

Soon, Luo Qingyi led Ye Chen to the entrance leading to the third layer of the Sword Tomb.

This scene was already familiar to him.

The entrance from the first layer to the second layer was blocked by a tombstone.

The entrance from the second layer to the third layer was the same.

Without needing Luo Qingyi to say anything, Ye Chen had already sat down beside the sword-shaped tombstone blocking the path, starting to operate the technique to refine it!

The Sword Qi entering the body, a pain not felt in some time, reappeared once again.

Since this tombstone sealed the entrance to the third layer of the Sword Tomb, the Sword Qi it transformed into was naturally much stronger, and the pain of the Sword Qi entering the body was countless times more intense than before.

Ye Chen opened his eyes, turned to look at Luo Qingyi behind him, a smile appearing on his face.

Luo Qingyi frowned.

At this time, he could still smile?

It seems this boy really got used to it...

Habit, such a simple word.

But what Ye Chen got used to... was being in agony again and again!

Obtaining the Nine Heavens Sword Manual inheritances, every battle...

A soft look slowly appeared in Luo Qingyi's eyes, surprisingly feeling somewhat... pained?

"What do you want to say?"

Luo Qingyi suppressed the chaos in her thoughts, asking, seeing Ye Chen's smiling face, she could be sure Ye Chen was brewing something in his heart!

"Elder Qingyi, I think you mentioned before, if I make it to the third-layer Sword Tomb within three months, you'd let me see your appearance... you wouldn't go back on your word, would you?"

So, despite experiencing unimaginable pain, Ye Chen could still smile thinking about being able to see her face?

That strange feeling in Luo Qingyi's heart emerged again.

"You misremembered, I said you'd have to clear the third-layer Sword Tomb within three months," Luo Qingyi replied coldly.

Ye Chen: "..."

The pain of Sword Qi entering his body, for some reason, felt several times stronger, and he couldn't help it, his body tilting and he fell to the ground, curling up into a ball.
