39: Chapter 39 Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Technique

In the days following the end of the trip to the Ancestral Land Secret Realm, Ye Tian lived in seclusion, dedicating almost all his time to Cultivation.

The gains from this trip to the Secret Realm far exceeded his imagination, and he had to digest and absorb them as quickly as possible.

Inside his chamber, Ye Tian sat cross-legged, his focus sinking into his body.

The first thing he had to do was to completely refine the medicinal power remaining from that thousand-year-old tree of longevity leaf.

Previously, in the critical situation within the Secret Realm, he had only hurriedly absorbed most of the essence to heal his wounds and achieve a Breakthrough; there was still some pure life essence settled in his body that had not been fully integrated.

He held his breath and focused his mind, guiding the chaos bead to slowly comb through the Qi and blood throughout his body.

At the same time, he circulated the Nameless Body Refining Art to accelerate the absorption of the settled medicinal power.

He could feel that every inch of his flesh and every Meridian was becoming tougher under the nourishment of that pure life essence.

The minor hidden injuries left behind from previous fierce battles and escapes were completely smoothed out, and his Foundation was polished to be incredibly solid.

For a full half-day, Ye Tian did not move a muscle.

When the last trace of the medicinal power from the tree of longevity leaf was completely refined and absorbed—hum!

The speed of the True Qi flowing within his body suddenly accelerated, and his aura surged violently, instantly breaking through that barrier!

Qi Gathering Level 6!

Ye Tian slowly opened his eyes, a brilliant light shining within them.

He stood up and lightly stretched his limbs, and a series of crackling sounds erupted from within his body, which was now filled with power.

"Qi Gathering Level 6... finally reached it!"

Ye Tian clenched his fists, feeling the surging True Qi within him that far exceeded anything from before, and a surge of confidence welled up in his heart.

Now, whether in terms of real combat power or apparent cultivation, he was the undisputed number one in the younger generation of the Ye Family!

But he was not proud or complacent, and he quickly sat back down cross-legged.

While the improvement in cultivation was certainly gratifying, the greatest gain from the Secret Realm was not this.

His mind sank back into his consciousness, carefully comprehending the Legacy information obtained from that terrifying phantom.

This Legacy was all-encompassing, but its core consisted of two parts: first, the profound insights into the essence of power, which was like opening a new door for him, allowing his understanding of his own strength and Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi to reach a brand-new level.

The second was a Mind-Cultivation Technique called the "Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art"!

When Ye Tian focused his mind on this "Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art," the deeper he delved into his comprehension, the more shocked he felt!

The circulation route of this Mind-Cultivation Technique was extremely complex and profound, far beyond what the "Qi Induction Mantra" passed down in the Ye Family could compare to.

The Qi circulation methods described within, the techniques for condensing True Qi, and the efficiency of absorbing and converting Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi had all reached an unimaginable Realm!

"This... the rank of this Mind-Cultivation Technique definitely exceeds the Yellow Rank! It might even exceed the Profound Rank!"

Ye Tian's heart churned with stormy waves.

Although he had never seen a Profound Rank Mind-Cultivation Technique, even what the Ye Family Clan Chief, Ye Qingtian, cultivated was only a Yellow Rank Advanced Mind-Cultivation Technique!

As far as he knew, in the entire Luo City, perhaps only the City Lord's Mansion possessed a Low Grade Profound Rank Mind-Cultivation Technique!

And this "Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art" gave him a feeling of being unfathomable!

He did not even dare to guess its specific rank.

"In the Ye Family Ancestral Land Secret Realm, there was actually such a Heaven-Defying Legacy hidden? What kind of Realm was that phantom ancestor in back then?"

Ye Tian took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement and confusion in his heart.

Now was not the time to investigate its origin; mastering this Mind-Cultivation Technique as quickly as possible was the key.

He followed the records of the first revolution of the "Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art" and attempted to guide the circulation of True Qi within his body.

At first, it was obscure and difficult; the circulation of True Qi was fraught with obstructions, and several times he nearly suffered a Qi deviation.

But relying on his new insights into the essence of power, he constantly adjusted and carefully experienced it.

Gradually, he began to get the hang of it.

The moment he successfully completed the first small circulation cycle.

The Spiritual Qi in the surrounding world gathered towards him at an unprecedented, frantic speed!

Passing through the pores of his body, it flowed into him continuously, was refined by the "Nine Revolutions Purple Heart Art," turned into incredibly pure True Qi, and converged into his Dantian!

This speed of absorbing Spiritual Qi was more than several times faster than when he circulated the "Qi Induction Mantra" before?!

It was simply the difference between a stream and a great river!

Moreover, this was only when he had just glimpsed the path, without even completing the first revolution!

If he were to fully master it in the future, or even Cultivate it to a higher level, what terrifying level would his cultivation speed reach?

Ye Tian was wild with joy; with this Heaven-Defying Mind-Cultivation Technique, his path of Cultivation would be smooth sailing!

Surpassing the Clan Chief and all the Prodigies of the younger generation in Luo City would no longer be a dream!

Just as Ye Tian's strength was advancing by leaps and bounds, deep inside the Lin Mansion at the other end of Luo City.

Inside the study, Lin Batian's face was so gloomy that water could drip from it.

He had just received confirmed news that Ye Tian had actually come out of the Secret Realm alive!

On the contrary, the death warriors his Lin Family had sent, as well as the shadows that had secretly infiltrated from the Black Cloud Stronghold, had all perished inside!

"Trash! A bunch of trash!"

Lin Batian slammed the jade cup in his hand onto the ground, "You couldn't even handle a small piece of trash in the Qi Gathering Realm! That bunch of idiots from the Black Cloud Stronghold are truly living up to their undeserved reputation!"

His chest heaved violently, and murderous intent overflowed from his eyes.

Ye Tian's growth speed did indeed make him feel a trace of surprise, but that was all.

In his eyes, no matter how much of a Genius Ye Tian was, he was just a junior who had yet to grow up, not enough to shake the overall situation of his Lin Family.

"Hmph, so what if you obtained some Opportunity? In the face of absolute strength, a Genius will also die prematurely!"

Lin Batian snorted coldly, temporarily casting the matter of Ye Tian to the back of his mind.

Right now, he had more important things to plan.

He walked to a huge map of Luo City on the side of the study, his burning gaze sweeping over the spheres of influence of the Ye Family and the Chen Family, finally settling on the resource area in the center of the city.

"The Ye Family... the Chen Family..." Lin Batian's finger tapped heavily on the map, his eyes flashing with greed and ambition, "This situation of the three-legged tripod in Luo City should change!"

Annex the Ye Family and the Chen Family, and let the Lin Family become the sole hegemon of Luo City!

This was the goal he had been enduring and planning for over a decade!

For this goal, he secretly accumulated strength, wooed allies, and even did not hesitate to prevaricate with bandit forces like the Black Cloud Stronghold.

Now, the time was ripe!

The Ye Family had been struggling with a lack of successors in recent years; apart from Ye Qingtian barely holding things up, there was no one to carry the torch.

Although Ye Long had some talent, his Heart-Nature was not fit for great use.

Although a Ye Tian had emerged now, he was ultimately unfledged.

As for the Chen Family, although they had a deep Foundation, Chen Xuan had always been content with a corner, lacking enterprise.

In contrast, his Lin Family had strong troops and sturdy horses, abundant resources, and even the Black Cloud Stronghold as a hidden blade!

As one rises and the other falls, this was the perfect Opportunity to strike!

"That old guy Ye Qingtian probably still thinks my Lin Family will continue to maintain superficial harmony with him, right?"

Lin Batian curled his lips into a cruel smile, "Little does he know, I have long since laid out a net of heaven and earth! I am just waiting for a suitable Opportunity to uproot the Ye Family!"

He already had a comprehensive plan in his heart.

First, use the Black Cloud Stronghold to constantly harass the Ye Family's peripheral industries, create trouble, and exhaust the Ye Family.

At the same time, spread rumors within the city, sow discord between the Ye and Chen Families, and even secretly bribe some disgruntled Elders or stewards inside the Ye Family to disintegrate them from within.

When the Ye Family was overwhelmed and in trouble both internally and externally, his Lin Family would launch a full-scale attack in one fell swoop!

At that time, the Black Cloud Stronghold would echo from the outside, and the inside men would coordinate from within; the Ye Family would surely perish!

After annexing the Ye Family, he would use the power of the great victory to concentrate his strength against the Chen Family!

If the Chen Family was sensible and surrendered, so be it; if they dared to resist, he would eradicate them as well!

"By then, the entire Luo City will be my Lin Family's world! What three great families? Only my Lin Family will stand supreme!"

The more Lin Batian thought about it, the more excited he became, as if the Lin Family had already reigned over Luo City.

"As for that Ye Tian..." A cold light flashed in his eyes, "If he is sensible, perhaps I can spare his dog life to serve my Lin Family. If he doesn't know what's good for him... hmph, crushing a slightly stronger ant doesn't take much effort."

He summoned his trusted steward and whispered, "Pass down the order: start acting according to the plan! First, find some trouble for the Ye Family and keep them busy! Also, closely monitor every move of the Ye and Chen Families; if there is any unusual movement, report to me immediately!"

"Yes! Clan Chief!" The steward bowed to accept the order and retreated silently.

Inside the study, Lin Batian stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the night view of Luo City outside the window, a sinister smile of certainty on his face.
