Several days later, under Ye Yunfei's patient, clear, and insightful tutelage, the high-level members and key outstanding disciples of the Murong Family began to gain comprehension of the sword scripture. Of course, the degree of comprehension was related to individual talent.
The power of this Murong Family sword scripture was extremely formidable. Even grasping just a little of it caused the family members' strength to increase substantially!
This sword scripture focused more on meaning and intent rather than specific forms or moves!
Generally speaking, any cultivation technique or martial skill under heaven was easier to practice in terms of its outward forms, but grasping the true intent behind them was exceptionally difficult.
Now that these Murong Family members had comprehended sword intent, cultivating other sword techniques in the future would yield twice the result with half the effort!
One could say that thanks to this sword scripture, the Murong Family would gain a new batch of swordsmen!
Next, Ye Yunfei refined a large batch of pills and began helping the Murong Family members break through to new levels.
The pills personally refined by Ye Yunfei naturally had excellent effects.
With Ye Yunfei's help, many people in the Murong Family successively broke through.
The Murong Family Patriarch and three elders all advanced to the peak of the Heavenly Position Realm.
Moreover, eight new Heavenly Position Realm experts were added!
The Murong Family's overall strength had risen by a large margin!
"Young Master Su, thank you! The overall strength of our Murong Family has improved by leaps and bounds during this time! If not for the backing of the Cangyan Sacred Sect behind the Meng Family, our Murong Family could now easily annihilate them," the Patriarch of Mu Rong said confidently.
"That should be possible," Ye Yunfei nodded. He had come into contact with members of the Meng Family and knew their strength level.
"Patriarch, Young Miss is about to break through!" At that moment, a family member hurried over to report.
"Pei'er is going to break through? That's wonderful!" The Patriarch of Mu Rong was overjoyed.
"Young Master Su, shall we go and take a look?" The Patriarch said to Ye Yunfei.
"Good," Ye Yunfei nodded.
Thus, the Patriarch and Ye Yunfei arrived before Murong Pei's cultivation peak.
Boom...
They saw dense black clouds gathering above the peak, with lightning crackling and thunder rumbling.
Murong Pei stood proudly in mid-air, facing the rolling tribulation lightning in the sky without the slightest fear.
Boom...
Soon, vast and mighty bolts of lightning continuously struck down.
With a long cry, Murong Pei grasped her longsword and swung it repeatedly, instantly unleashing several sword radiances that shot towards the sky, clashing with those lightning bolts.
Next, Murong Pei, sword in hand, fiercely battled against the tribulation lightning striking down from high above.
"Not bad," Ye Yunfei watched and nodded repeatedly. After this period of comprehension and cultivation, Murong Pei had already gained a certain level of insight into that sword scripture, and the power she displayed was quite commendable.
"Excellent! Pei'er truly lives up to being the most talented disciple of our Murong Family!" The Murong Family's high-level members praised her one after another.
The Patriarch of Mu Rong nodded even more frequently, exceedingly satisfied.
After a bout of intense struggle, Murong Pei successfully passed the lightning tribulation and broke through to the early stage of the Heavenly Position Realm!
"Patriarch, now that Pei'er has broken through to the Heavenly Position Realm, her ranking on the Genius Ranking will surely advance several places!" a Murong Family elder said excitedly.
"Yes. Speaking of which, all of this is because of Young Master Su! Our Murong Family has undergone too great a change during this time with Young Master Su's help!" The Patriarch nodded, also very excited.
"Father! I'm now a Heavenly Position Realm expert!" After her successful breakthrough, Murong Pei flashed over to appear before the Patriarch.
"Hehe, not bad. Our Murong Family has gained another Heavenly Position Realm expert. However, Pei'er, your breakthrough is entirely thanks to Young Master Su. Come over quickly and thank him," the Patriarch said. He was quite happy to see his daughter and Ye Yunfei together, so he seized every opportunity to hint at it.
"Young Master Su, thank you for your help to our Murong Family during this time," Murong Pei naturally understood her father's intention. Her face grew a bit warm, but she couldn't be impolite. Steeling herself, she walked up to Ye Yunfei and spoke.
"No need to be so polite," Ye Yunfei casually nodded. He had always considered Murong Pei a friend. Towards friends, Ye Yunfei was always quite tolerant, generous, and casual, not caring too much about formalities.
"I intend to enter your Murong Family's ancestral shrine again to contemplate for a while," Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said. He felt that his understanding of the Murong Family's ancestral ancient scripture was still not complete, so he planned to contemplate it further.
"Of course. Young Master Su may enter the ancestral shrine anytime," the Patriarch of Mu Rong promptly replied.
Thus, from then on, Ye Yunfei once again entered the Murong Family's ancestral shrine to continue contemplating the sword scripture.
Ten days later.
"I have already mastered eighty percent of this sword scripture. The remaining twenty percent must be comprehended during the process of constant usage. After all, the power of this scripture is extremely potent. For me to comprehend it to this degree in a short time is already quite good," Ye Yunfei suddenly opened his eyes and murmured softly.
Then, Ye Yunfei walked out of the ancestral shrine.
"Young Master Su, two people from the Four Directions Trading House have come looking for you." Very soon, the Patriarch of Mu Rong came to find Ye Yunfei and told him.
"Oh? People from the Four Directions Trading House? Good, bring them to me," Ye Yunfei was taken aback for a moment, then said.
Soon, two men followed the Patriarch to stand before Ye Yunfei.
"We pay our respects to Young Master Su. We were sent by Miss Lü. Miss Lü asked us to give this to you," one of the men took out a message jade slip and handed it to Ye Yunfei.
"It seems Miss Lü has urgent business with me," Ye Yunfei received the message jade slip and thought to himself. In fact, Lü Dandan had long ago given Ye Yunfei a communication jade slip for convenient contact. However, the speed of message jade slips was quite slow. If they were too far apart, it was hard to say when a message would be received. So Lü Dandan sending these two people to find him definitely meant there was an urgent matter.
"Young Master Su, the item has been delivered. We will return to report to the Young Miss," the two men said.
"Very well, you've worked hard. Please tell Miss Lü something for me: ask the Four Directions Trading House to look after and support the Murong Family in the future," Ye Yunfei answered.
"Your words will certainly be relayed," the two men replied before turning to leave.
Patriarch of Mu Rong, who was standing to the side, heard Ye Yunfei's words and was both shocked and delighted. The Four Directions Trading House was one of the major powers in the Eastern Barrens and was known as the wealthiest trading house in the Eastern Barrens. If it were to support the Murong Family, the benefits would be endless.
"Young Master Su, the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin may have appeared, and this time it is in the Eastern Barrens. I would like to invite you to join in pursuing the whereabouts of the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin." When Ye Yunfei used his Soul Power to perceive into the jade slip, this was the sentence it contained.
Nine-Life Immortal Coffin! Ye Yunfei's pupils contracted.
On the Primordial Continent, there was a legend about the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin.
It was said that on the continent, there was a mysterious bronze coffin that would appear in the world at regular intervals.
Regarding the origin of this bronze coffin, there were two main theories. The first theory stated that within this bronze coffin might be buried the fleshly body of an immortal. The primordial spirit of this immortal had already left the body to experience the mundane world across different realms. In the future, when the immortal's primordial spirit returned to the fleshly body, it would revive.
This theory was highly controversial, and many considered it false.
Although the Primordial Continent was an advanced continent, why would an immortal bury their remains on this continent?
Most importantly, whether immortals even existed in this world had never been proven.
The second theory was that this bronze coffin buried an ancient emperor from prehistoric times. This ancient emperor had buried his fleshly body within the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin, while his soul body reincarnated, entering the world to cultivate anew. After experiencing nine lifetimes, he would achieve a phoenix's rebirth, revive, and at that moment would attain immortality!
Both theories were related to immortals, and people tended to believe the second theory more, so they simply called this mysterious bronze coffin the Nine-Life Immortal Coffin.
