Chapter 0785 Nine Ultimate SoulSealing Needle

Chapter 0785: Nine-Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needle

Qin Yun felt a surge of excitement upon seeing the long black case—it was the mysterious object stored inside the third pearl.

Back then, Xie Qirou’s mother, the Demon Enchantress, had placed various items within the spaces of each of the nine pearls of the Nine Sun Divine Pendant.

Originally, these were meant to help Xie Qirou start over.

However, Xie Qirou later gave the Nine Sun Divine Pendant to Qin Yun.

"What’s inside?" Qin Yun asked curiously as he approached, reaching out to touch it, only to get glared at by Yao Fang.

Qin Yun quickly withdrew his hand.

At that moment, the celestial pool rippled as Bingxing suddenly emerged, landing gracefully on the ground. Her snow-white dress fluttered with wisps of immortal qi, giving her a radiantly beautiful, pure, and noble aura.

When Yao Fang saw Bingxing, her heart filled with bitterness. Cursed as she was, her current appearance was grotesque, and she couldn’t help but bow her head in shame.

Seeing the look in Yao Fang’s eyes, Qin Yun’s heart ached inexplicably. He walked over and patted her shoulder, whispering, "Sister Yao Fang, everything will get better!"

At this moment, Yao Fang seethed with immense hatred for Qin Yun’s past life, though she didn’t explode like before.

Bingxing had been within the Immortal Essence beneath the celestial pool and only emerged upon sensing a powerful presence.

When she saw Yao Fang, she frowned, recalling how Qin Yun had once asked her about Yao Fang.

Now, she finally met her in person!

"It’s you!"

Bingxing suddenly remembered who Yao Fang was and exclaimed.

"Bingxing, looks like you’ve had it better than me," Yao Fang said, glancing at Qin Yun.

"Much better," Bingxing sighed deeply. "I never imagined that guy could cause you to be cursed by the Demon Immortal Emperor!"

Qin Yun shrugged helplessly.

Yao Fang said, "Let’s not dwell on this. I need to help this guy grow stronger—and I need your assistance to make it more stable. He’s cultivating the Immortal-Demon Physique, and I fear I alone won’t be able to ensure a smooth breakthrough."

Bingxing looked at the box and asked, "You don’t hate him?"

"What’s the use of hating him? I’ve bet everything on him now," Yao Fang replied, sighing as she glanced at Qin Yun.

"How did you come to be with him?" Bingxing asked, recalling that Qin Yun had once mentioned Yao Fang appearing in his dreams.

"Xiao Rou gave him something back then. I was sealed inside it and only just got out," Yao Fang explained. "Let’s help him break through. He’s up against someone with evil god powers."

"How can I assist you?" Bingxing asked.

"This kid told me you have the Sun Moon Celestial Bed here, right?" Yao Fang said.

Bingxing nodded.

Soon, Qin Yun, Bingxing, and Yao Fang went down below the celestial pool.

Qin Yun lay on the Sun Moon Celestial Bed, feeling uneasy.

Yao Fang opened the box, revealing nine golden needles the length of chopsticks.

Qin Yun scrambled upright, looking at the nine golden needles, and shouted, "Sister Yao Fang, what are these?"

"Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needles!" Bingxing's eyes lit up with excitement.

Qin Yun's heart sank—he had a feeling those nine needles were about to stab into him.

"Lie still!" Yao Fang barked.

After lying back down, Qin Yun asked nervously, "Sister Yao Fang, are you going to insert all these needles into me?"

Yao Fang sneered, "At your current level, you aren't ready for all nine Soul-Sealing Needles!"

"What exactly do these Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needles do? Can they really help me improve my strength?"

Qin Yun watched as Yao Fang picked up one of the needles, about to pierce him, and drew a sharp breath.

Bingxing explained, "They can temporarily seal your soul, cutting the link between your soul and body. This way, we can directly pump energy into your *Dao Mystic Pill*, allowing it to advance and break through!"

"If we proceed without sealing your soul first, your soul would reject the energy we channel into you. The process wouldn’t be continuous, and you’d suffer many nasty side effects—it could take years to adapt or refine the energy."

"With the Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needles, we can temporarily seal your soul and continuously channel energy into you, then help you refine it!"

Qin Yun’s blood ran cold—this would happen while he was unconscious.

The needle in Yao Fang’s hand suddenly flashed and vanished into Qin Yun’s skull.

Qin Yun slipped into a bizarre limbo, unable to sense anything from his body.

Now, he could only remain in his mental world with Ling Yuner.

"Yun'er, can you tell what’s happening outside?" Qin Yun asked.

"No, I’m sealed here with you! Don’t worry—you’ve already let Bingxing have her way with you so many times. A few more won’t hurt!" Ling Yuner tittered.

After three days of separation between his soul and body, Qin Yun gradually got feeling back in his body.

He opened his eyes and saw Bingxing and Yao Fang.

Yao Fang held a needle and placed it back into the box.

Qin Yun felt weird and asked, "Did I break through?"

Yao Fang replied, "You’ve reached the mid-Xuanwu Realm! You only just entered the Xuanwu Realm not long ago, and now you’ve advanced again. I don’t know if this will affect you in the future."

Qin Yun also regained awareness of his Dark Sun, which was now emitting dark luminescence, and his Xuan Dao Force had grown stronger.

In the mid-Xuanwu Realm, the *Dao Mystic Pill* could release a piercing aura—something that could enhance Xuan Dao Force.

To confirm if someone had reached the mid-Xuanwu Realm, one could use mental energy to sense their aura. If the feedback felt like a mental sting, then they were indeed at that stage.

"I really broke through!" Qin Yun still couldn’t believe it—he knew nothing about the process.

Bingxing said, "Qin Yun, the Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needles aren’t something to use lightly! Be careful in the future—don’t let your soul suffer severe damage."

Yao Fang also warned sternly, "Your soul was completely detached from your body just now. The connection between soul and body was severed, leaving scars at the connection points. If your soul suffers heavy damage, it could break free from your body and might go rogue!"

Qin Yun felt a cold dread. The thought of his soul lost in the void terrified him.

Now, he understood why the Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needles wasn't something to use lightly.

If used frequently, it will only cause the connection between his soul and body to accumulate more wounds, making them difficult to heal.

"Don’t worry, as long as you recover well, you can use it once in a while!" Yao Fang said.

Using it periodically lets him break through quickly, which is still quite beneficial!

Bingxing said, "The Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needle is also a great concealed weapon! But it’s best not to use it recklessly—if even one is lost, the entire set will be ruined!"

Yao Fang held onto the box tightly, as if afraid Qin Yun would snatch it. She said coldly, "Qin Yun, if you continue to seek weapons, I might give you some later, depending on the situation!"

"I’m heading to Sword Immortal Villa!" Qin Yun checked his martial mystic energy and was very satisfied.

"Sister Yao Fang, don’t be too disheartened by the current situation. Things will definitely improve in the future!" Seeing Yao Fang about to leave, Bingxing comforted her again.

"Little Bingxing, you must also stay patient. Focus on recovering your peak strength here before heading to the Immortal Wasteland!" Yao Fang nodded and then entered the third bead of Qin Yun’s Nine Sun Divine Pendant.

From their conversation, Qin Yun could tell that Yao Fang was very senior.

"Sister Bingxing, who exactly is Yao Fang?" Qin Yun quickly asked.

"Don’t ask too much. Go back and participate in the Sword Martial Conference!" Bingxing said, grabbed him and flew out of the Immortal Pool.

Feeling somewhat frustrated, Qin Yun left the Immortal Armory Hall to find Bao Changshou before flying to New Sword Island.

Since Qin Yun cultivated the Dark Sun rather than the Dao Mystic Pill, his strength wasn’t obvious at first glance.

Bao Changshou checked but noticed nothing.

On the way, Qin Yun mentally messaged Yao Fang in the third bead of the Nine Sun Divine Pendant: "Sister Yao Fang, while I was unconscious, did Sister Bingxing do anything else?"

"What else could she have done? For three straight days, we both worked on enhancing your Dark Sun, pouring our power into it!" Yao Fang replied.

"That’s good!" Qin Yun sighed in relief. Whenever he was unconscious before, Bingxing would always mess with him...

...

The sky above New Sword Island, stretching for miles, was covered in purplish-red clouds.

The entire area was enveloped in a thick evil energy.

"Did all the people in this Mystic Domain train in the Demonic Mystic Realm? How do they know so many wicked techniques?" Bao Changshou’s expression changed slightly upon arrival. He said, "Qin Yun, why don’t you just back down this time and forfeit?"

"No way!"

Qin Yun had reached the Midstage Xuanwu Realm and was confident in his strength—there was no way he would back down.

Bao Changshou led Qin Yun to the center of New Sword Island, entering the Seven Swords Array's Sword Immortal Villa.

In a courtyard on the southeast side of the villa, Chu Binyu, Jian Linglong, and the others all looked serious.

Jian Ruyan rushed over upon seeing Qin Yun and whispered, "Brother Yun, there's big trouble!"

"What is it?" Bao Changshou asked urgently.

"Long Shengkuang has changed—now he's got a sharp black horn on his head!" Xiao Yuemei took out a banana and held it above her forehead, saying, "Like this!"

This made Qin Yun laugh. "Yuemei, don’t do that in front of Long Shengkuang—you'll piss him off!"

Jian Linglong said, "That horn seems to be the legendary demonic horn! After growing it, Long Shengkuang’s power skyrocketed. It’s said even the Martial King is no match for him now!"

Jian Ruyan added, "Brother Yun, Sister Yang said when you get back, you should drop out of the match!"

"No way!" Qin Yun scoffed. "I'm fighting that bastard!"
