Transcending the Nine Heavens

Chu Yang didn’t stay idle while the sword spirit engaged in his busy works — he only used an hour to produce a black lump of ’refined medicine’. This was for Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan.

Chu Yang could actually resolve the duo’s injuries and the so-called ’chronic illness’ very easily. But, in order to attain the Nine-Clover Jade Ganoderma, Chu Yang had no choice but to tell Qin Baoshan about his opportunity to advance his cultivation. This made Chu Yang a bit miserable now.

After thinking for a while, he finally let the sword spirit to refine a pill that could help Qin Baoshan to increase his power that was worth 20 years of martial practice.

The sword spirit was very fast.

It took less than an hour to refine the medicines that Chu Yang needed to recover himself: Under the sword spirit’s superior refinement techniques, a lump of amber and the semi-fluid liquid was produced. It was so clear that it seemed to be able to reflect all the stars in the sky, and it exuded an alluring fragrance.

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan, who were outside, smelled the strong scent and couldn’t help but twitch their brows. They were overjoyed: He was really quick. It took him so little time for the fragrance of medicines to be produced...

Chu Yang did not hesitate to open his mouth and swallowed this lump of medicine.

Not more than 10 minutes, the medicine began to take its effect in his body!

As if Chu Yang had a burning stove swallowed in his body, his body instantly turned red, almost close to the color of purplish black. A countless number of sweat beads began to creep up his body, head and face!

Simultaneously, in his meridians, the power of the Nine Tribulations Sword was motivated!

The cultivation which was originally cut began to roll, tremor and travel slowly along the meridians. Then, it traveled faster and faster. In the end, it started galloping like a wild horse.

The strength of the Nine Tribulations Sword also came to join in this angry torrent!

In Chu Yang’s elixir field, the primordial qi also rose up. When the torrent passed the elixir field once again, the primordial qi also joined into the torrent without any hesitation!

The three types of forces, together, ran nine rounds in Chu Yang’s meridians with the speed of light. Then, they suddenly changed their passages, and with an almost irresistible force, they pushed Chu Yang’s cultivation up to a first stage Martial Emperor, as if there was no barrier between a ninth stage Martial King and a first stage Martial Emperor at all!

Then it continued to advance till the peak of the first stage Martial Emperor. It still didn’t stop, but instead, it crashed on the meridian barrier between the first stage and second stage!

With just a collision, the barrier had been opened. Then, following Chu Yang’s thought, the torrent continued to rush forth.

The different forces condensed in the meridians and took shape!

It was the shape of a sword!

Sword Sovereign!

Chu Yang’s body suddenly gave off a sword energy, which inundated the entire secret chamber!

The strength of the sword was again ignited. Excitedly, the tip, edge, spine and collar of the Nine Tribulations Sword took up their respective places!

In the meridians, the sword gradually turned transparent black. Only a small area of the sword tip emitted a silver ray of light.

The sword spirit witnessed all of these in the Nine Tribulations Space quietly, and let out a long sigh, "Sure enough, you’re totally different from the previous eight masters of the Nine Tribulations Sword! This should be the starting point of the Nine Tribulations Sword in its most supreme form: Ubiquitous!"

The sword trembled slightly in the meridians and began to advance slowly. Then, it became faster and faster. In the end, it actually turned into a virtual shadow. It seemed to be similar to the previous tumultuous state, but it was different in essence now...

The sword traveled in the meridians at an eye-catching speed. For every round it went through, it would become stronger. After traveling 99 consecutive rounds, it automatically changed its direction and rushed towards another meridian barrier!

Boom!

Chu Yang heard the sound of a mountain, or even that of heaven and earth, collapsing at this moment!

He shuddered. Then, blood poured out of the orifices of his head violently!

But, after this, he felt very comfortable and felt his body thoroughly unobstructed!

Third stage Sword Sovereign!

Before he felt surprised, there was another silent explosion in his head...

Chu Yang spat out blood violently again!

Then...

Streams of unfamiliar information flowed into his consciousness and heart in a fast yet lucid manner.

That was... the complete memory of the first master of the Nine Tribulations Sword!

Chu Yang lay stiffly on the ground like a dead person, but his brain was eagerly absorbing all these precious memories. They were the memories of a legendary figure who took control of the Nine Heavens. Not even a bit of the memory had been missed out!

All the wonderful martial techniques that Chu Yang hadn’t seen or heard before swarmed into his brains at this moment. Then, gradually, they spontaneously sorted and classified themselves up...

What most interested Chu Yang was a kind of martial technique called ’Thousand Phantom Technique’, which could enable him to arbitrarily change his own face and body shape, and perfectly cover up the fluctuations of energy within his own body. This technique could vary the aura of energy as he wished to, so as to present to others the level of cultivation which he wanted others to know.

This technique made Chu Yang greatly interested.

The sword energy continued to travel violently in the meridians!

Chu Yang had already lost his own consciousness now and only accepted these memories passively. The only obsession he had now was to break, break, break... break through the meridian barriers! Improve his cultivation!

If he still had consciousness and extended his internal vision, he would realize that his meridians were slowly expanding with strong flexibility...

The strength he gained from the Golden Blood Root, which he ate when he was in Beyond the Heavens, started to develop fully at this instant!

As the meridians widened, the shape of the sword also became larger, and such speed or expansion was getting all the way faster!

Chu Yang gritted his teeth and used his consciousness to direct the sword force in the meridians, as he roared in his heart, "Break it!"

Finally, the sword spirit hit the meridian barrier again!

Boom!

Chu Yang’s body suddenly experienced a heavy tremor, and blood poured out from the orifices of his head again. His skin and pores over his entire body also squirted out blood like a drizzle!

The meridian barrier didn’t break!

The sword in the meridians retreated. Once again, it repeated its previous route of going through 99 rounds in the meridians, before hitting onto the barrier unhesitatingly!

"Let’s go again!" Chu Yang closed his eyes abruptly.

An explosive sound!

The barrier remained motionless and as stiff as a massive rock!

Chu Yang’s body trembled fiercely on the ground. His body bounced three feet above the ground, then fell back. There was already a pool of blood beneath his body!

The sword spirited, and repeated its previous route again!

It didn’t stop after going through 99 rounds.

After 300 rounds! — Chu Yang once again launched the sword forward!

He had reached a fourth stage Sword Sovereign!

The third and fourth stage of Sword Sovereign were two completely distinct fields!

A collision once again!

The absolutely hard collision even made Chu Yang’s meridians a little cracked, but the barrier remained still!

The elixirs within the body repaired the meridians spontaneously. Then, the sword continued to shuttle through the meridians round by round...

The fifth time...

The seventh time...

The ninth time...

...

The sword spirit widened his eyes unbelievably. Such an experience was definitely worse than the usual torture of dismembering one’s body! Even an expert would usually give up to wait for the next opportunity if he couldn’t break through the meridians.

But Chu Yang experienced such torture again and again, and suffered the collisions for 15 times!

The sword spirit had followed 8 Nine Tribulations Sword masters before, but he had never seen any of these masters having such courage and resilience!

Chu Yang was relentless towards his enemies, but he was even more relentless towards himself!

Finally, after 18 times, a crack appeared in the strong meridian barrier, and it began to split radially around the other parts of the barrier.

...

The 19th time! With a roar, he controlled the sword to slam up to the barrier!

Boom!

It passed through!

The sword passed through it. The original obscurities in the meridians were completely swept off and now, it had turned sparkling bright. Gradually, the passage was developed. After the sword continued to whizz around for 99 rounds, it finally stopped and settled itself in the elixir field.

A beginner fourth stage Sword Sovereign.

Chu Yang fainted the moment he broke through his cultivation and he lay soundlessly on the ground.

Looking at the fainted Chu Yang, the sword spirit couldn’t help but ask himself a question: If Chu Yang didn’t faint, would he continue to try to break through the fifth stage?

After thinking for a long time, he didn’t think of an answer.

He was a complete madman!

Two days went past quietly.

The secret chamber remained still.

Sha Xinliang and Qin Baoshan began to fidget like ants on a hot pot... But thinking of Chu Yang’s instructions, they didn’t dare to go in to have a look at all.

What the hell is going on... It’s really making me worried.

...

In these two days, the external world had been equally restless.

There seemed to be a lot of outsiders coming into the Flat Mountain Ridge, but after they came, they seemed to have vanished into the thin air.

In a quiet and cozy tea house, Chu Feilong was quietly drinking tea, as if he was waiting for something. He looked up towards the door from time to time, and there were an unconcealable longing and a trace of nervousness in his eyes.

With a whiz, a figure appeared at the door. It was that thin and haggard, Monarch level servant of Chu Feilong.

"Chu Feilong, Thirteenth master will be coming personally," that servant turned out to have called Chu Feilong by his name at his first sentence.

This was absolutely not the way a servant would speak to his master, but instead, how a commanding master would speak to his subordinate!

Chu Feilong didn’t feel offended at all, but instead stood up in excitement, "Thirteenth master is coming personally? That’s really... please let me welcome him personally."

"There’s no need!" A gloomy voice sounded. Five figures had silently made their appearances at the door as if they had come out of the void.

The leader among them was a middle-aged man who only looked to be a little more than 30 years old. His face was clean and white, and could even be said to look handsome. Sadly, his temperament was destroyed by the chill and ferocity in his eyes.

His eyes looked to be constantly beaming with ghastly fire.

Ye Wubo!

In the Ye clan, which was ranked the first among the nine great clans, Ye Wubo was positioned number 13! So, he was nicknamed Ye Thirteenth.

If Chu Feiling was here, he would immediately understand where his misfortunes these years came from and why were there the assassins targeted on him by a few Martial Emperors in the Middle Three Heavens.

The source was here!
