Chapter 164: Chapter 161: The Coffin Dweller, Two Lives Soul (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions, Thank You)

Ye Tian smiled, the white glow on the longsword in his hand disappeared, transforming back into the original broken twig. Now infused with a strand of Creation Energy, its black color faded, returning to a vibrant green—this was its honor.

This young man, with a branch as his sword, driving the gods away and scattering all demons. This phrase would be passed down through the endless river of ages, spreading in Coffin Mountain and the desolate lands of the northwest.

Ye Tian’s clothes fluttered as he stood quietly, as if he were the only existence between Heaven and Earth, evoking deep reverence. Flocks of black crows screeched madly, flying into the distance, never to return.

At this moment, Black Rose felt immensely conflicted. This young master, who seemed incredibly youthful, was even more powerful than herself, someone who had cultivated for over thirty years and had just barely advanced to Dark-grade. A sense of failure arose within her.

The resentment Zhao Lei and Zhao Hui felt towards Ye Tian had long dissipated, replaced by boundless admiration. After all, who would dare oppose a young man akin to an immortal? Courting death, surely?

"I didn’t expect the first use of the Qiankun Sword Technique to be so powerful. Not bad at all."

Under the awe-inspired gazes of the crowd, Ye Tian looked down and murmured to himself.

The Qiankun Sword Technique comprises nine forms, the supreme Divine Skill from the dominant sect Qiankun Sect. Each form is more powerful than the last. It is said that only the Qiankun Sword Ancestor mastered the ninth form, striking once to shatter countless Star Domains.

In truth, the Qiankun Sword Technique, when the nine forms unite into one, becomes the supreme secret technique. Once the nine forms merge into one, Heaven’s constraints can no longer bind you; with one stroke, you can sever the heavens and connect to Huangquan.

This was the sword technique automatically granted to Ye Tian by the Creation and Transformation Heaven Technique when he advanced in the Tagu Desert. Other than the move Invisible Phantom, Ye Tian’s swordsmanship had no notable techniques.

The danger averted, Zhao Lei and others heaved a sigh of relief. Zhao Lei pulled out something resembling an invitation card from his pocket, running over to Ye Tian with a smile, "Thank you Young Master Ye for saving my life. This is the invitation to my grandfather’s seventieth birthday. I hope you can attend!"

Zhao Lei bowed at a ninety-degree angle, his respect as profound as it could be. Ye Tian glanced at him and noticed the hostility was no longer there. A grand celebration? Free food and drinks, might as well.

"It was a small effort; I’ll think about attending this celebration."

Ye Tian spoke coldly, gently accepting the invitation card, its edges inlaid with gold threads, indicating its remarkable value.

At this moment, Black Rose, enduring the pain in her arm, approached Ye Tian with her remaining subordinates, bowing with cupped fists, "Thank you, Young Master Ye. I will remember this favor. If you ever need anything, just mention my name at the Rose Bar."

She had pondered the last sentence for a long time, hoping one day Ye Tian would seek her out. Yet she knew that a dragon wandering the seas would never settle in a place inferior even to a shallow beach.

"Alright, I will visit."

"But I advise you not to go any further. This is not any kind of token."

"If you believe me, leave immediately!"

"If you want to follow, it’s fine, but you won’t keep up with my pace. I won’t be able to save you then!"

Ye Tian revealed the Jade Pendant to Zhao Lei and Black Rose before speaking calmly.

Black Rose and Zhao Lei nodded without hesitation. Of the people who had just been over fifty strong, only a handful remained. If not for Ye Tian’s intervention, they would likely be buried deep within Coffin Mountain.

"Young Master Ye, remember to attend the celebration. Call me at this number; I’ll personally welcome you!"

Zhao Lei drew a black business card from his pocket and handed it to Ye Tian with both hands.

Zeng Shan and others also approached. Ye Tian had helped resolve the conflict between him and Zhao Lei. Originally, Zhao Lei was in a hurry to find the Jade Pendant because his father was critically ill, and the company faced the risk of being taken over by other family members. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have come to such a place like Coffin Mountain himself.

Legend has it that deep within Coffin Mountain, there is a spiritual object called Coffin Fungus, which can cure all diseases. Thus, Zhao Lei hurriedly contacted Zeng Shan to enter the mountain. But halfway in, they fell into a pit. Out of goodwill, Zhao Lei let Zeng Shan take the Jade Pendant, while he kept a sheepskin parchment among his belongings. The parchment described the Jade Pendant as the key to the Divine Coffin, prompting him to order his men to snatch it.

Zhao Lei pulled a sheepskin parchment from his bosom and handed it to Ye Tian. The parchment detailed the entire topography of Coffin Mountain, the innermost part marked in red, with an identical pattern to the Jade Pendant drawn beside it.

From a distance, Black Rose, Zhao Lei, and Zeng Shan watched Ye Tian’s departing figure, marveling that such an exceptional man was truly unparalleled in the world.

Ye Tian’s shadow stretched long and thin as the sun was once again shrouded by clouds. The depths of Coffin Mountain appeared eerily silent, dark, and somber. Shivering, Black Rose and the others hastily left.

Outside Qingming Town.

"Brother Zeng, I really apologize for that incident. Thank you and Young Master Ye for your understanding."

The first thing Zhao Lei did upon coming out was to apologize to Zeng Shan, as everyone could see the close relationship between Ye Tian and Zeng Shan.

"It’s fine, I’m still alive, aren’t I?"

"You are a filial son after all; we are still friends!"

Zeng Shan laughed heartily and embraced Zhao Lei, as if their previous enmity had never existed.

Unbeknownst to Ye Tian, the orchestrator of all this, sometimes one’s overwhelming power causes others, whether humble or weak, to treat them with heightened reverence.

Black Rose, being no fool, had seen more than her fair share of human nature through her years in the underworld. Without Ye Tian, Zeng Shan would undoubtedly be tied up and taken back to the Zhao Family by now. freeweɓnovel~cѳm

She chatted amiably with Zeng Shan for a while, reverting to her imposing queen-like demeanor. Before leaving, she cast one last look at Coffin Mountain, burying the sliver of hope in the deepest recesses of her memory.

In the depths of Coffin Mountain.

"The atmosphere becomes more peculiar the further I go. The Corpse Energy here is so strong. Good thing I made them leave; otherwise, they’d be beyond saving!"

Ye Tian activated the Creation Divine Gang once again, a layer of protective shield formed by Creation Energy, repelling the dense Corpse Energy entirely.

Even the World Tree, which usually devoured all kinds of energy, miraculously refrained from doing so, shaking its trunk in disdain, while a stream of Life Energy flowed throughout Ye Tian’s body.

"Fight!!!"

"Fight!!!!"

"We must fight to the end, never give up!!"

"Yes, we will never surrender!!"

"Bring the coffin!!"

"My lord, you cannot, you will die!!!"

"Give it here, if we don’t use it now, it will be too late. Hurry, we’re barely holding up!!!"

"No, my lord!!!!!!!"

"People of the coffin, souls of two lifetimes, when will you return to fight for you across the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths."
