Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 1219: Eighth Layer, Shadowy Heavenly Power

Rumble rumble...

Under the ferocious bombardment of ten Ancient Fiends, the Mountain Protection Array of the Star Abyss Sword Sect flickered with light, trembling intensely, giving one the impression that it could collapse at any moment.

Sword Invincible stood within the array, hands behind his back, his expression extremely grim.

The power of the Ancient Fiends truly made him feel a bit terrified.

Fortunately, this Nangong Liuyun could only control ten Ancient Fiends.

If it were doubled...

The Mountain Protection Array of the Star Cloud Sword Sect... would have long been breached.

"Sect Master, why did you put away the Ancient Demon Zither you had?"

The middle-aged man showed a trace of doubt on his face and asked.

"Put it away my ass!"

Sword Invincible’s expression was frosty as he looked at Nangong Liuyun above in the void, sneering as he said, "There was a guy hiding in the dark, he suddenly made a move and stole the Ancient Demon Zither from my hands!"

Stole it?

The other few cultivators of the Eternal Realm exclaimed simultaneously, looking at each other, all showing a look of shock.

Their Sect Master of the Star Abyss Sword Sect was a cultivator of the sixth level of the Eternal Realm.

In this realm, who else could silently steal the Ancient Demon Zither from the Sect Master’s hands?

"Could it be the Heavenly Thief God?"

The middle-aged man frowned, suddenly recalling a character.

The Heavenly Thief God, the most mysterious guy on the Cangnan Continent.

Possessing the Phantom Hand Superpower.

No treasure in the world could escape his all-encompassing hands.

The Heavenly Thief God also had a cultivation of the Eternal Realm.

But his exact cultivation was unknown, this person was elusive and had no sect, so most people were not aware of his strength.

But every time the Heavenly Thief God made a move, he never missed.

In the recent battle... could it be that this Heavenly Thief God made his move?

The middle-aged man had such a guess.

"It’s likely him..."

Sword Invincible sighed, feeling somewhat helpless in the face of the Heavenly Thief God.

The opponent came and went without a trace.

Also a loose cultivator, without any sect, living without a fixed abode.

Finding him would be like finding a needle in a haystack.

Although the Star Abyss Sword Sect is a Sky-Level sect, finding the Heavenly Thief God is exceedingly difficult.

Not to mention a Sky-Level sect, even an Eternal-Level sect would have a hard time finding him.

"It’s so damn frustrating!"

The more Sword Invincible thought about it, the angrier he became. They had researched the Ancient Demon Zither for so long and finally broke the seventh layer of restriction.

Now everything was in vain.

The Heavenly Thief God took advantage of it.

"Sect Master, these Ancient Fiends are extremely ferocious. If they continue attacking like this for a long time, the Mountain Protection Array might not hold..."

An elderly man said worriedly.

"No worries, the Supreme Ancestor will soon leave seclusion!"

Sword Invincible impatiently waved his hand.

As long as the Supreme Ancestor takes action, the situation will rapidly reverse.

The Supreme Ancestor is the top expert of the Star Abyss Sword Sect, with a peak cultivation of the eighth level of the Eternal Realm.

Wielding powerful swordsmanship, no one can match him.

The Supreme Ancestor is the only person within the Star Abyss Sword Sect who can harness the power of the Star Abyss.

Indeed.

The Star Abyss Sword Sect has a secret realm, which houses a massive Star Abyss.

This vast Star Abyss, immensely deep and grand like a galaxy, is filled with tremendous power.

In the void.

Nangong Liuyun played the Bewitching Immortal Flute, the sound like the clashing of metal and horses, reverberating towards the surrounding void.

Rumble rumble...

The Ancient Fiends seemed crazed, using their powerful iron fists to continuously bombard the Mountain Protection Array.

Deep in the void.

Ye Yun held the Ancient Demon Zither, showing a nostalgic expression in his eyes.

The Ancient Demon Zither was first discovered by him in the Ancient Demon Abyss, and he later gave it to that little girl Nangong Jade.

The subsequent events were indeed unexpected.

After his disappearance, Nangong Jade used the Ancient Demon Zither to drive the Ancient Fiends to besiege the Dragon God Sect.

"Huh? There’s still a restriction?"

Caressing the Ancient Demon Zither, Ye Yun’s expression faltered slightly.

There are nine layers of restrictions in total.

The first to seventh layers of restrictions had long been broken, with faint remnants of restriction aura remaining.

The Ancient Demon Zither still retained two layers of restrictions.

The eighth layer and the ninth layer.

"The Star Abyss Sword Sect attempted to use the bloodline power of the Nangong Family to forcibly break through the eighth layer of restriction, which was a wrong path..."

Ye Yun smiled gently, his fingers caressing the Ancient Demon Zither, and with a bang, the eighth layer of restriction was shattered in response.

"Huh, there’s a jade slip concealed inside!"

Ye Yun’s eyes shifted, extracting a simple jade slip from the small space within the eighth layer of restriction.

Infusing a trace of Divine Sense and scanning it, Ye Yun quickly understood what it was about.

This jade slip was left by Nangong Jade for the Nangong Family.

It recorded a cultivation technique.

Nangong Jade did not elaborate on its origin, but Ye Yun could recognize it at a glance.

This cultivation technique was very unique and likely came from the Ancient Ethereal Clan.

"No wonder it was so cautiously placed inside the eighth layer of restriction, hinting that Nangong Jade, that little girl, didn’t really wish for members of the Nangong Family who sought the Ancient Demon Zither to cultivate the Ancient Ethereal Clan’s divine techniques..."

Thinking of this, Ye Yun sighed lightly.

The divine techniques of the Ancient Ethereal Clan were indeed immensely powerful.

And Nangong Jade held a special status in the Ancient Ethereal Clan, having mastered many divine techniques, passing one down was understandable.

After all, she was also considered an ancestor of the Nangong Family.

However, this cultivation technique also implied certain risks; insufficient strength could lead to danger.

"Shadowy Heavenly Power..."

Ye Yun glanced at the jade slip again, pondering this technique and chuckled lightly.

If this Shadowy Heavenly Power is successfully cultivated, it could absolutely reach the True God Realm.

With the cultivation base of the first level of the True God Realm, using the Shadowy Heavenly Power, there was at least a fifty percent chance of passing through the Ancient Road to Heaven.

"The eighth layer is the cultivation technique of the Ancient Ethereal Clan, so what does the ninth layer of restriction conceal?"

Ye Yun’s eyes flickered, once again resting on the Ancient Demon Zither.

The ninth layer of restriction was covered in mysterious symbols, entirely different from those on the Cangnan Continent and the Divine Land.

This too seemed to come from the Ancient Ethereal Clan.

The ninth layer of restriction was even more powerful than the eighth layer.

Ye Yun exerted his strength, beginning to break the ninth layer of restriction.

Buzzing...

The Ancient Demon Zither vibrated, and the ninth layer of restriction also emitted a profound glow.

Ye Yun immediately withdrew his hand, his expression becoming more solemn.

Though he could break the ninth layer of restriction.

But once broken.

The Ancient Demon Zither would also be destroyed.

In other words, forcefully breaking the ninth layer of restriction would lead to the self-destruction of the Ancient Demon Zither, and Ye Yun would no longer be able to uncover what was hidden in the small space of the ninth layer.

"What secret did that little girl Nangong Jade hide in the ninth layer?!"

Ye Yun muttered to himself, frowning slightly.

Within the small space of the eighth layer, the Shadowy Heavenly Power was already so strong.

Logically, the items concealed within the ninth layer should be even more precious.

Rumble rumble...

The violent shaking of the Mountain Protection Array of the Star Abyss Sword Sect continuously reached Ye Yun’s ears.

Ye Yun’s expression gradually calmed down.

If he wanted to know the secret of the ninth layer of the Ancient Demon Zither, he couldn’t use force; opening it would require another method.

Ye Yun’s gaze turned downward as he thought to himself, "Why was this small Star Abyss Sword Sect able to find this Ancient Demon Zither from within the Ancient Demon Abyss?"

As he thought of this.

Boom!

A tremendous explosion sounded.

A formidable Sword Qi shot skyward from a certain mountain range.
