In fact, Ye Chen also remembered that it was about breaking through the third layer of the Sword Tomb within three months, and earlier he was just hoping to muddle through.

Since Luo Qingyi remembered it so clearly, then three months it is, to break through the third layer of the Sword Tomb!

There's a little over a month left, there's a chance.

Luo Qingyi looked at Ye Chen's curled-up posture on the ground, and the trace of pity she had felt disappeared without a trace.

Brat, trying to fool me?

Do you think I've lived so long that my memory has gone bad?!

Serves you right!

This time, it lasted for three full hours before the incredibly terrifying pain within Ye Chen's body finally subsided.

The cultivation technique of the third layer of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual was finally in his hands.

"Don't be in a hurry to break through these days. Last time, you recklessly rushed to the Sea of Qi Realm. Now, you should properly operate the Nine Heavens Sword Manual and re-temper the Qi Sea in your Dantian," Luo Qingyi advised.

Ye Chen propped his hands on his knees and slowly stood up, nodding.

Luo Qingyi raised her hand and waved.

Immediately, her power, in front of Ye Chen, manifested into a rather complex map.

"Elder Qingyi, what is this?"

"It's a map of the Lingyun Mountain where Tian Can once found a plant of Holy Source Grass. Memorize this map clearly, then go out and find out where Lingyun Mountain in Cangzhou is. Once you find it, if it's not too far, find a way to go there. The Holy Source Grass may help with the revival of your body's original essence."

Concerned about whether his body's original essence could be revived, Ye Chen dared not be careless, and stared at the map for a long time, memorizing every detail.

"Got it memorized."

"Well, you should leave now, and come back to the third layer of the Sword Tomb once you've tempered the Qi Sea in your Dantian sufficiently."

"What mysteries does the third layer of the Sword Tomb hold?" Ye Chen asked curiously.

The first layer of the Sword Tomb is for Condensing Sword Essence, the second for Understanding Sword Intent, and the upcoming third layer makes Ye Chen quite eager.

"Sword Body Tempering; with it, the real inheritance of the Nine Heavens Sword Manual will truly begin. I can tell you in advance, once you have felt the pain of Sword Body Tempering, you will realize that the previous pains were nothing.

If you manage to temper a Sword Body, you won't end up like now, getting yourself all bruised and battered at the drop of a hat.

As the heir of the Nine Heavens Sword God, always looking like a sickly patient, if you're not embarrassed, I find it shameful too."

Ye Chen: "..."

Before leaving the Sword Tomb, Ye Chen went to see Master Legs, and then practiced the Heaven-Ascending Step dozens of times, Master Legs also gave some instructions about Lingyun Mountain, and then Ye Chen left the Sword Tomb.

Outside, it was just beginning to dawn.

Ye Chen didn't feel tired either, so he started operating the cultivation technique to re-temper the Qi Sea again.

By noon.

Ye Chen stopped the operation of the cultivation technique, ate some food, and then entered the World of Sea of Consciousness to start sketching Spirit Patterns.

Unfortunately, there were no points left.

Otherwise, going to the Spirit Tower to sketch Spirit Patterns would be much faster.

By evening, Ye Chen began practicing Swordsmanship in the courtyard.

The Five Elements Extreme Sword Technique consists of a total of six moves, and the final move can only be successfully practiced after mastering the first five moves to Great Perfection.

And each of the first five moves, in fact, has many variations.

After all, it is an Earth Tier low-grade Swordsmanship, profound and complex, vast and deep.

Luckily, there was a figure in his mind demonstrating this set of Swordsmanship for Ye Chen; if it were only a sword manual or something, it would have been troublesome.

Ye Chen also knew the principle of not biting off more than one can chew, and didn't try to learn all five moves at once, instead learning one move at a time.

From shallow to deep, he first learned the most shallow variations of the moves!

He practiced until midnight, then stopped, cleaned himself, and went into the room to rest.

At dawn the next day, Ye Chen got up, made something simple to eat, and continued operating the cultivation technique to practice.

Suddenly, a voice came from outside the courtyard.

"Ye Chen, please come out."

Hearing this voice, Ye Chen jolted and immediately rushed out of the room and then out of the courtyard.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard was the old woman who had previously been by Hua Qianxue's side, Granny Rong.

Ye Chen greeted her rather politely.

Granny Rong nodded, holding a jade pendant carved with intricate floral patterns, and said, "This was given to me by the young lady for you."

Ye Chen took the jade pendant.

Granny Rong said, "Take good care of this jade pendant, and don't let anyone see it, otherwise, you will have a lot of trouble."

After saying this, Granny Rong turned and left without expression.

Ye Chen took the jade pendant into the courtyard, and immediately, a faint wave of Spiritual Power emanated from the jade pendant.

Hua Qianxue's figure slowly materialized.

Spirit Avatar!

Even if this Spirit Avatar was somewhat ethereal, it still exuded Hua Qianxue's ever-present proud and icy quality.

"Hua... girl!"

Ye Chen originally wanted to call her Miss Hua, but thinking that Hua Qianxue was just a Spirit Avatar, quickly changed it to girl.

Earlier, he had heard from Fatty that Spirit Avatars have the same thinking as the main body, but unless the Spirit Avatar returns to the main body, the main body wouldn't know the experiences of the Spirit Avatar.

Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar glanced at Ye Chen, seemingly wanting to hit him.

Ye Chen stood tall and straight, completely unafraid; if he couldn't beat the main body, could he not beat a Spirit Avatar?

Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar saw Ye Chen's look of a dead pig unafraid of boiling water, initially just wanting to hit, now directly putting it into action.

With a swipe of her arm!

"Boom!"

Ye Chen's body was thrown and crashed into the corner of the courtyard wall.

Ye Chen, grinning in pain, returned to Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar and said, "Girl, you actually sneak attacked me!"

Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar, with an arrogant look, said faintly, "I am a Primordial Embryo, a Tier Five Celestial Seal Spirit Master."

Ye Chen: "..."

The first time Ye Chen met Hua Qianxue, she was only at the Peak of the Sea of Qi, a Tier Three Celestial Seal Spirit Master.

Then Hua Qianxue realized the unity of man and sword, and with no more regrets in her heart, she reached the Peak of the Elemental Wheel Realm, becoming a Tier Four Celestial Seal Spirit Master.

How long has Hua Qianxue been gone from Unparalleled County?

Just over a month!

And she's broken through again?!

She truly deserves to be called the gem of the Great Zhou Dynasty...

Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar, with a faint sense of pride on her ethereal face, continued, "I know about the conflict between Cangxing Martial Arts Academy and the Celestial Sword Sect.

Under the current situation, it's your best chance.

Above the Elemental Wheel Realm, above Tier Four Spirit Masters, they won't make a move, so you can achieve the invincible.

Additionally.

Let me tell you another thing, the royal family is already discussing my wedding with the Sixth Prince with my Hua Family.

Weren't you going to beat up the Sixth Prince? Then you need to hurry up.

Help me send regards to the teacher, and the senior brothers and sisters.

I'll think of a way to help with the senior brother's matters.

Work hard; I hope you can catch up with my pace, otherwise, I won't wait for you.

There's nothing else."

With that, Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar dissipated.

Ye Chen was stunned.

She didn't even give him a chance to speak...

As Hua Qianxue's Spirit Avatar dissipated, it seems that she once again snorted at him with her nose, just like before, in her proud way!

Ye Chen looked down at the jade pendant in his hand.

He didn't see much of anything else, so he put the jade pendant into the Storage Ring as Granny Rong had instructed.

......

Outside Ye Chen's courtyard, three people arrived.

One old, two young.

Of one of the young men, standing in front, an old man and a young man stood on either side behind him.

The young man in the lead wore a long robe embroidered with gold thread, looking extremely precious, with an arrogant expression, and an air of nobility between his brows.

The old man's figure was thin, with eyes sharp as an eagle, and carried a hint of coldness in his aura, while the other young man was full of arrogance.

"Prince Yong, is this the place Hua Qianxue lived during her three years at Cangxing Martial Arts Academy?"

The man referred to as Prince Yong nodded and said, "Hua Qianxue has a marriage contract with my sixth brother, and even if she has left Cangxing Martial Arts Academy, her residence here must not be tainted by anyone, especially not by a man. I've heard recently that a vagabond called Ye Chen moved in here."

"Prince Yong, I understand, so should I just drive Ye Chen out, and if he resists..."

Prince Yong said indifferently, "Then kill him."

"Yes!"

With that, the young man walked to the front of the courtyard entrance, delivering a punch with enormous force, directly breaking the gate, causing debris to fly!
