Nine Yang Life and Death Transformation

Gao Xing smiled and nodded repeatedly, saying, "That's right. This burial ground of gods is strange and mysterious in every way, making it hard to figure out. It seems we have to mobilize all available resources to investigate it thoroughly!" After saying that, he frowned slightly, as if he had fallen into deep thought.

Meanwhile, Wu Feilong was not in a hurry to return to the Heavenly Sword Sect. After searching for a while, he finally found a secluded island. The island was surrounded by azure waters, with lush green trees, birdsong, and fragrant flowers, like a paradise on earth.

Wu Feilong decided to stay there temporarily, to calmly and diligently study the cultivation techniques and secret manuals he had obtained at the Burial Ground of Gods. At the same time, he also used this time to deeply study and explore the art of alchemy. His experience at the Burial Ground of Gods felt like several years had passed, but when he emerged, he was surprised to find that only a few days had gone by in the outside world.

Time flies, and several months have passed in the blink of an eye. In these few months, the name "He Congyun of the Heavenly Sword Sect" has spread like wildfire throughout all the major sects. From the high-ranking sect leaders to the menial disciples responsible for cleaning the courtyards, everyone is familiar with this name. Suddenly, people flock to the Heavenly Sword Sect to seek apprenticeship, making the sect a bustling hub of activity.

On this day, Elder Sun Chao of the Myriad Stars Alliance led a group of disciples and numerous fine weapons to the gates of the Heavenly Sword Sect. He Wei, who had already received word, personally led a group of disciples to greet them. He Wei, beaming, bowed and said, "Elder Sun's presence is truly an honor for our Heavenly Sword Sect!"

Sun Chao, with his long beard flowing, laughed heartily and replied, "Sect Leader He, you're too kind! The performance of your disciples in the Divine Burial Ground was truly astonishing! I heard that one of them, named He Congyun, actually killed the Yinshan Elder, a half-body realm cultivator, with just one move. Truly, a great teacher produces a great student!"

"Elder Sun, you really love to joke! Those rumors are pure nonsense, just hearsay. Besides, although my disciple does have some talent, he is only at the Nascent Soul stage at present," Sect Master He replied with a smile.

At this moment, Sun Chao looked around and said, "Sect Leader He, would you allow me to meet your sect's highly anticipated prodigy?" His words revealed a hint of curiosity and anticipation.

However, Sect Master He was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and then replied with a troubled expression, "To be honest, Elder Sun, I am also searching for him everywhere. Since he went to the Myriad Star Alliance, he has not returned to the sect and there has been no news of him since. I am extremely anxious!"

Upon hearing this, Sun Chao frowned, his face full of doubt: "Such a strange thing has actually happened? Logically speaking, since your sect's disciples performed so bravely at the Divine Burial Ground, they should have returned safely. Could there be some other hidden story behind this?"

Faced with Sun Chao's question, Sect Leader He quickly cupped his hands and said, "I hope Elder Sun can lend a hand and help me find my disciple's whereabouts. If you can find him, I will definitely reward you handsomely!"

Sun Chao nodded, indicating his agreement: "Don't worry, Sect Leader He. Leave this to me; I will do my best. Oh, by the way, besides this matter, I have another important matter to report. In view of your sect's disciples' successful rescue of disciples from various sects in the Divine Burial Ground, the Myriad Star Alliance has decided to reward you. At that time, we will provide Sect Leader He with a batch of precious cultivation resources and officially promote your sect to a mid-level sect."

Upon hearing this, Sect Leader He was overjoyed. He quickly clasped his hands in a fist and said excitedly, "Thank you so much, Elder Sun, for bringing such good news! Our sect will never forget this kindness. If you ever need anything in the future, please don't hesitate to ask!"

Sun Chao waved his hand and laughed, "Haha, Sect Leader He, you're too kind. Now that things are settled, I'll take my leave." With that, he turned and walked away.

He Wei was overjoyed! Ever since He Congyun's fame spread, people flocked to him to learn martial arts, making his door a bustling marketplace. Among them were not only young martial artists with dreams, but also renowned sect leaders and highly respected elders who personally visited to express their sincere gratitude. The gifts they brought were dazzling and piled up like mountains, a sight to behold.

However, most importantly, due to He Congyun's outstanding achievements, the Tianjian Sect successfully jumped from a top-tier sect to a mid-tier sect. This huge leap made him rise in status in the martial arts world and he was highly respected.

Meanwhile, on a distant island, Wu Feilong was completely absorbed in refining the Five Poison Pill. This time, the Five Poison Pill he was refining used a far more potent poison, several times stronger than ever before. Therefore, if successfully refined, this batch of Five Poison Pills would be of a much higher grade than ever before. However, this path was fraught with hardship and setbacks; so far, Wu Feilong had experienced over ninety failures. Despite this, he never gave up and continued his relentless pursuit of the secrets of refining the Five Poison Pill.

Finally, after countless attempts, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the Tai Xu Cauldron, shooting straight into the sky. Immediately afterward, ten Five Poison Pills, shimmering with brilliant golden light, burst forth from the cauldron like wild horses. Wu Feilong reacted swiftly, instantly grasping them tightly in his palm. After examining them carefully, his face lit up with joy, and he excitedly muttered to himself, "Excellent! This time I've actually refined top-grade Five Poison Pills!"

Seizing the opportunity, Wu Feilong continued refining pills without stopping. Before long, he had successfully refined hundreds more Five Poison Pills. He not only consumed some himself to enhance his power, but also generously distributed them to the spirit beasts and demon beasts around him.

Several days passed quickly, and after careful consideration, Wu Feilong finally decided to temporarily bid farewell to this peaceful and tranquil island. He was quite at ease leaving Chun Shiniang alone there to focus on her cultivation, after all, her cultivation level was already quite high.

Then, Wu Feilong muttered incantations, and with a flash of light around him, he instantly transformed into Sun Kang's appearance. With everything prepared, he embarked on his journey home without hesitation, speeding towards the Heavenly Sword Sect without stopping.

When he returned to the Heavenly Sword Sect, the scene before him astonished him. The once severely damaged and desolate floating island had been completely restored to its former glory. Not only that, but many new and magnificent buildings of various styles had been added to the island, scattered throughout in a well-organized manner. Even more astonishing was that the number of disciples in the sect was much greater than at its peak.

As night fell, Wu Feilong, under the cover of moonlight, stealthily infiltrated the Heavenly Sword Sect like a ghost. He arrived at He Ying's residence with practiced ease, and before he even approached the door, he heard a terrified cry from inside: "Don't look for me, don't look for me..." The voice belonged to He Ying.
