Chapter 0789 Seven Swords Ancestor

Chapter 0789: Seven Sword Patriarchs

Qin Yun had just entered the Xuanwu Realm not long ago when Yao Fang and Bingxing helped him advance to the Midstage Xuanwu Realm using the Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needle.

Now, the Jian Family was about to assist him in breaking through again, pushing him to the Late-stage Xuanwu Realm!

This was happening far too quickly!

Thus, Qin Yun was somewhat worried that advancing too rapidly might have harmful consequences for him.

"Sword Elder, I... I'm already at the Midstage Xuanwu Realm, and it hasn't been long since my last breakthrough! Wouldn't it be risky for me to break through again so soon?" Qin Yun said.

Jian Linglong and the other women were astonished because they had previously participated in joint cultivation to help Qin Yun break through to the Xuanwu Realm.

Yet, in mere days, Qin Yun had already reached the mid-stage!

"Ah... well, it should be fine! Our Jian Family's breakthrough method, though it cannot be used consecutively, is still very stable!" Jian Shitian was also shocked.

Bao Changshou and Chu Binyu were inwardly astonished as well. They had thought Qin Yun was only at the early stage of the Xuanwu Realm, never expecting him to already be at the mid-stage.

They suddenly realized how little they truly knew about Qin Yun.

Qin Yun followed Jian Shitian and flew over the Sword Immortal Villa, heading toward its central area.

Along the way, Qin Yun sent a mental transmission to Yao Fang inside the third bead: "Sister Yao Fang, I defeated that Long Shengkuang..."

He recounted the battle process since Yao Fang had previously shown great interest in the phenomenon of the Evil God's possession.

"Bring the devil horn in for me to examine... Rest assured, there won’t be any issues with the Jian Family helping you break through now. As long as they don’t use the Nine Ultimate Soul-Sealing Needle, you’ll be fine!" Yao Fang reassured him, easing Qin Yun's concerns.

Qin Yun placed the devil horn inside the third bead.

During this time, Yao Fang had been comprehending the Demon Immortal Emperor's Nine Sun World-Ending Scripture while also devouring Xie Ying's power. For her, her days had been richly rewarding.

Qin Yun followed Jian Shitian to the center of the Sword Immortal Villa.

There stood a mountain several hundred meters tall.

Qin Yun entered a cave within the mountain and ventured deeper inside.

In the depths was a vast chamber where seven monolithic pillars stood. The pillars appeared ancient, radiating ancient majesty, and were carved with intricate patterns.

Qin Yun was immediately drawn to these patterns—most were Sun Patterns, and some even bore sun sigils!

Perched upon the pillars were seven elders.

These elders had silver-white hair and long beards. Dressed in gray robes, they sat cross-legged above the pillars with their eyes closed.

The moment Qin Yun stepped into the center of the seven pillars, he felt immense pressure, especially from the sword energies emanating from the seven elders, as if they were about to tear him apart.

Jian Shitian whispered, "Qin Yun, just sit in the center."

Qin Yun didn’t know the origins of these seven elders, but judging from their presence, they were incredibly powerful Half-Immortals.

They seemed close to the strength of true Immortals—perhaps just a step away from transcending the void and ascending to the Immortal Realm!

Qin Yun sat in the center, closed his eyes, and relaxed his body and mind.

Jian Shitian said, "Qin Yun, these seven are the ancestors of our Jian Family. They control the seven Immortal Swords! They will use the seven Immortal Swords planted outside, along with seven Immortal Essences, to facilitate your breakthrough!"

"Got it!" Qin Yun nodded.

Even now, the seven elders still hadn’t opened their eyes.

Qin Yun was quietly amazed by the Jian family’s deep-rooted legacy—these seven ancestors were undeniably fearsome in power.

No wonder the Profound Domain folks didn’t dare mess around; they clearly knew of these seven supremely powerful ancestors here!

Barring Immortals, these seven Jian ancestors were arguably the strongest humans in the Spirit Wasteland.

"Here we go!" Jian Shitian muttered suddenly.

In a flash, seven swords materialized, surrounding him.

"Are these the same seven Immortal Swords from before?"

Qin Yun was utterly terrified, as these seven sharp blades exuded waves of killing intent, their violent aura practically roaring.

One look said it all—these blades had reaped countless lives!

Yet Qin Yun detected no demonic or evil energy in them.

Instead, they radiated a heroic, righteous energy!

He remembered Ling Yuner and Xiao Yuemei’s words—even Immortals needed virtue.

These ancestors clearly understood that too!

"These are their lifebound swords—no need to fear!" Jian Shitian laughed.

Qin Yun was stunned—these ancestors’ lifebound swords were already Immortal-grade!

All at once, seven waves of energy surged into him from every side, striking his head and body from below.

Qin Yun relaxed fully and triggered the CelestialDemonic Sacred Body Art, guiding the energy into his cultivation.

Days later, the seven ancestors’ eyes snapped open!

Jian Shitian quickly asked, "Ancestors, what's wrong?"

One elder, his face filled with shock, replied, "This kid’s Dao Mystic Pill is bizarre—it needs way more energy to break through!"

Qin Yun's Dark Sun absorbed vast amounts of energy while releasing waves of martial profound force's "edge." Even sensing it stabbed at the spirit like needles.

Standing nearby, Jian Shitian could clearly feel the extraordinary sharpness of Qin Yun's profound force, utterly unique.

When Qin Yun had stepped into the Midstage Xuanwu Realm, the edge of his martial profound force had remained concealed. Now, as it greedily absorbed energy, it was finally unleashed.

"Can we still continue?" Jian Shitian asked with some concern, as the Jian family had promised to help Qin Yun elevate his cultivation.

"Of course, but it will take longer! This little devil truly lives up to being the one who defeated the Evil God's possession—he's full of peculiarities! Shitian, go handle your business," the ancestor said.

Jian Shitian gave a stunned nod and left.

After Jian Shitian departed, a one-eyed ancestor gazed at Qin Yun and asked, "Kid, spill the details about your cultivation."

"Honored elders, I can’t discuss it. If you are unwilling to help me break through, I bear no resentment," Qin Yun replied.

"That thing you’ve cultivated—it’s no Dao Mystic Pill, right? It’s like our lifebound swords—solidified into a physical form," the one-eyed ancestor said.

"Indeed!" Qin Yun was inwardly startled that these elders could make such an accurate guess.

"Although you possess a powerful Immortal Body, we can sense that within it lies a deeply malevolent energy... I hope you can suppress that evil in the future!" the one-eyed elder said.

"Thank you for the warning, Senior!" Qin Yun replied.

"We won’t pry further. After all, probing another’s path of cultivation is taboo! The myriad Dao paths are varied—each cultivator's journey is unique and wondrous in its own way!" The one-eyed elder sighed.

After that, the seven elders asked no more questions.

Qin Yun could feel his Dark Sun rapidly strengthening as it absorbed vast amounts of energy.

"If I reach the late-stage Profound Realm, the profound force edge released by the Dao Mystic Pill would grow even stronger, perhaps even capable of taking material form!" Qin Yun thought. "But I don’t have a Dao Mystic Pill—I cultivate the Dark Sun. Who knows what will happen?"

Several more days passed when suddenly, Qin Yun’s Dark Sun violently trembled, bursting forth with waves of inky "profound force edges."

These edges surged out of his body, radiating in all directions, instilling an unnameable fear in the elders.

Qin Yun had momentarily lost control during the breakthrough, but with a thought, he retracted the edges.

"This junior is indebted to you, Seniors. Your efforts are deeply appreciated. This junior is endlessly grateful!" Qin Yun stood and bowed respectfully.

"I hope you will accumulate virtue through good deeds in the future—it will smooth your ascension to immortality!" The one-eyed elder nodded.

Qin Yun thanked the seven elders once more before bidding them farewell and leaving the cave.

"I must have been inside for about thirteen days. The Martial King’s tournament must be over by now, right?" Qin Yun suddenly felt a pang of disappointment—he had wanted to watch it.

As he stepped out of the cave, he saw Zi Qingcheng and Shui Tianzi, the enchanting twin beauties.

"Why are you two here?" Qin Yun had expected Jian Shitian to be waiting for him.

"You look disappointed!" Shui Tianzi pouted. Dressed in a pink gown, she looked even more alluring and coquettish as she immediately clung to Qin Yun’s arm.

Zi Qingcheng, wearing plain purple garments, approached and said, "They’re no longer on New Sword Island."

"Where did they go?" Qin Yun asked.

"The factions from the Profound Domain invited them to a primordial secret realm, proposing holding the tournament there before exploring it!" Zi Qingcheng sighed. "That ancient realm seems extraordinary—powerful enough to draw even many Half-Immortals. A large group of them rushed over!"

"The Profound Domain factions invited them? This reeks of a trap!" Qin Yun immediately sensed trouble.

"Brother Yun, I thought the same. You shouldn’t go! Sect Leader Bao also said that once you emerged, we should wait here for their return before escorting you back to Immortal Armament City!" Shui Tianzi’s smooth, jade-white hand held Qin Yun’s, gently caressing it.

"Did Yuemei go too?" Qin Yun asked.

"Yes," Zi Qingcheng nodded.

"Hell... Do you know where that ancient realm is? I’m going too!" Qin Yun said urgently.

"Sword Sovereign and many Half-Immortals from the Jian family went as well. There shouldn’t be any danger!" Zi Qingcheng frowned. "Brat, don’t worry. Let’s just wait here for them."

"Word has it the ancient secret realm was discovered by the Long family, and the factions from the Profound Domain came expressly for that purpose!" Shui Tianzi added. "Brother Yun, let’s not go. Heed your elder sisters and stay here!"

"No, I must go! I smell a setup! Sword Sovereign and the others have stumbled before!" Qin Yun didn’t fully trust Jian Shitian’s strength.

Last time, had the Demon Star Overlord not turned the tide, the entire Sword Immortal Villa might have been seized by the demons of the Dark Profound Domain.

Zi Qingcheng produced a talisman—a Soul-Chasing Talisman—and said, "Very well! We’ll accompany you!"

"This Soul-Chasing Talisman can attune to Sister Linglong’s spiritual signature, allowing us to track her lingering traces. She gave it to me!"
