My Daoist partner helps me cultivate immortality

well.

I'm not saving her.

Lin Ye silently made a judgment in her mind.

This really is the opportunity for them to get back together, isn't it...?

This makes it very difficult for him to get things done!

It's difficult... If it's difficult, then let's not do it!

It's a good time for Lin Ye to go into seclusion and properly organize his gains.

It could take decades.

This would also reduce contact with the Nine Tribulations Sword from ten thousand years ago, minimizing the butterfly effect, and the three sisters could handle it themselves.

Lin Ye asked for some more details, then changed the subject: "Sister, do you know a cultivator named Wu Xiangjun?"

Nine Tribulations Sword was stunned, then a look of resentment flashed across its face.

"she?"

The Nine Tribulations Sword remained silent for a long time, which aroused Lin Ye's suspicion. Then, she said loudly, "Lin Ye, I have something to give you."

"My sword hilt!"

...the hilt?

Isn't this something we never give away?

Nine Tribulations Sword said in a deep voice, "Hold it, and you will be able to sense the location of the sword's body."

"I can't go back to my hometown for now."

"The Daoist Ranking is not far from being published; she will definitely appear..."

"When you see and sense the location of the sword, you will be able to meet Wu Xiangjun."

Nine Tribulations Sword said in a deep voice, "This is also for your own sake... kill her!"

Chapter 447 Seclusion: Lin Ye Looks Forward to Nascent Soul Transformation

"...Huh?"

"The sword tip is on you?"

Nine Tribulations Sword opened its drowsy eyes wide, half of the effects of the alcohol wearing off.

The tip of this sword was taken away by Wu Xiangjun ten thousand years ago. How did it end up on Lin Ye now?

Just as the Nine Tribulations Sword was about to send the hilt over, it sensed the familiar aura emanating from Lin Ye.

She was filled with panic: Could it be...?

"Lin Ye, don't be fooled by her!"

Nine Tribulations Sword panicked slightly, "She's very cunning!"

"You're still young. You can't handle a woman who's a hundred thousand years old..."

That's not necessarily true!

Lin Ye thought to himself, but nodded and said, "Yes, I have seen her."

"She also asked me to kill someone."

"She said everything she did was to kill that person."

Nine Tribulations Sword's eyes widened: "Who?"

Lin Ye casually said, "Immortal Venerable Yuan Ting."

"Kill a person named Immortal Venerable Yuan Ting!"

Upon hearing Lin Ye casually utter the name, the Nine Tribulations Sword paused in breath.

"Emperor Yuan Ting..."

"He is still alive!"

"Sister, who is this person?"

“It is her nemesis, Yuan Ting... the only cultivator born in the universe who attained enlightenment in the Pangu World.”

Nine Tribulations Sword immediately became certain that Lin Ye had indeed met Wu Xiangjun, and that the other party had given her the tip of her sword as a gesture of goodwill.

You actually used the tip of a sword you got from me to do a favor!

But she certainly couldn't have imagined...

Lin Ye is from our side.

Under Lin Ye's discreet scrutiny, the Nine Tribulations Sword pondered for a long time before gritting its teeth and saying, "If Yuan Ting is still alive, we'll have to change our plans!"

"Please speak, sister."

Nine Tribulations Sword: Lin Ye, you can contact Wu Xiangjun, but it's best to wait for her to come to you.

"Since she has shown you goodwill, and Yuan Ting is still alive, I think that killing Yuan Ting is more important to you than killing her."

"But you must trust your sister, and never trust this person too easily..."

Nine Tribulations Sword's eyes gleamed: "I suffered greatly at her hands before, don't repeat the same mistake."

Lin Ye lowered her eyes and said, "I understand, sister."

I know everything.

Immortal Venerable Yuan Ting, an enemy of the Martial Emperor, was someone Lin Ye didn't know much about, but this name came in very handy at this moment.

Not only could Lin Ye easily use the matter of the sword tip as a pretext to deceive people, but he could also do it with ease.

The key is to be able to discern the Nine Tribulations Sword's intent.

'At least they didn't really want to push me into a fire pit...'

'Sister, you're still as naive as you were ten thousand years ago!' Lin Ye's eyes flickered.

Nine Tribulations Sword said, "As for Wu Xiangjun, she is very strong and cunning. You must be careful."

The Nine Tribulations Sword used some kind of secret technique, and the slender hilt tore through the void and fell into Lin Ye's hand.

"Compared to the Emperor Flame and the Ancestral Pill, the reason I can still exert influence on the outside world in the Starry Sky Battlefield is because of this sword hilt!"

"If you use it skillfully, you can do a lot of things with it."

"Wu Xiangjun is dangerous. You can take this for self-defense."

Nine Tribulations Sword carefully instructed: "You are still young. It's not worth spending many years learning those complicated uses. I will help you adjust it and return it to its most essential use—it can protect your soul."

Nine Tribulations Sword sighed and said, "As for the sword tip, Wu Xiangjun probably already told you about it."

"Its usage is the exact opposite of the sword hilt; it can annihilate a cultivator's soul in the blink of an eye."

"Unfortunately, ten thousand years ago, Wu Xiangjun refined it while I was healing, and I can never summon it back... Alas..."

Nine Tribulations Sword's eyes reddened: "Sister, you're so embarrassing..."

Lin Ye said helplessly, "Sis, don't break down."

Nine Tribulations Sword sniffed and nodded.

Lin Ye examined the sword hilt and asked curiously, "Sister, if I obtain the entire sword, can I control it using the hilt?"

"Or could it be used to control the tip of the sword?"

After obtaining the tip of the Nine Tribulations Sword, Lin Ye became very cautious.

After all, it belongs to someone else.

Moreover, it is also lethal.

Lin Ye used the Heavenly Stealing Dao Principles to create layers of disguise around the tip of the Nine Tribulations Sword, but he still couldn't feel at ease.

If we could refine the sword hilt, that would be much better.

The tip of the sword can annihilate a cultivator's soul.

But the hilt of the sword can just block it!

Its defensive capabilities are at least equal to the destructive power of the sword tip.

Ideally, the hilt should be able to control the tip of the sword, which would be even more perfect.

'In this timeline, Wu Xiangjun probably had a similar mindset to mine after obtaining the sword tip—not a very good one!' Lin Ye thought to himself.

Wu Xiangjun was once a quasi-immortal, so she might have some means to deal with the threat posed by the sword tip.

However, it's definitely not as convenient as Lin Ye simply switching to a different timeline.

Even so, Lin Ye was having a headache, let alone others.

Actually, it's not surprising that the Martial Emperor would try to refine the Nine Tribulations Sword while it was healing.

'This is hard to judge...'

The Nine Tribulations Sword was, after all, a celestial sword in human form, and since no one taught her, she still didn't understand human nature.

She shouldn't have placed something capable of destroying souls so carelessly next to someone else's soul.

This sword tip was likely the beginning of the breakdown in her relationship with the Empress.

Even if they were true friends, as shrewd as the Martial Emperor, he would most likely still let the heavily injured Nine Tribulations Sword explode with gold coins... Lin Ye thought to himself.

After a moment's hesitation, the Nine Tribulations Sword said, "As long as you refine the hilt, you can control all the sword blades."

"Come on, I'll teach you!"

Nine Tribulations Sword taught Lin Ye a mantra, saying, "Use this mantra to refine the sword hilt, and then you will naturally know how to control it."

Lin Ye said, "Thank you, sister."

Nine Tribulations Sword nodded: "However, apart from the sword tip that she reforged, the rest of the sword body that Wu Xiangjun refined cannot be controlled. We need to retrieve it first. Don't chant incantations before the battle! It won't work!"

"Once you retrieve the sword, I won't want it anymore; you can keep it."

Nine Tribulations Sword took a breath: "I just can't swallow this!"

"Besides, she's really dangerous... With your talent, she'll definitely be targeting you."

"Of course, Yuan Ting might be more dangerous for you."

The Nine Tribulations Sword's eyes flashed.

She discovered that the sword tip on Lin Ye's body seemed to have never been refined by Wu Xiangjun.

It was obviously reforged by her before being given to Lin Ye! Was she being that good to him?

Wu Xiangjun didn't know that Lin Ye knew me, so it seems that her advances towards Lin Ye were quite sincere.

Perhaps it's because Yuan Ting's spirit is still haunting her, making her need a talented helper like Lin Ye to lend her a hand in the future! Nine Tribulations Sword thought to itself.

Lin Ye: "Sword, can you reverse the flow and find my location?"

Nine Tribulations Sword picked up the wine pot, took a sip, and shook his head: "Don't worry about that. The hilt is of a higher rank than the blade. Unless it's done intentionally, it won't be exposed."

She was somewhat agitated: "Do you know how important you are? Lin Ye, you can't die before us. I would never harm you..."

Lin Ye nodded: "Of course I believe you."

"Sister, it's best if you don't act alone for the next thousand years."

The Nine Tribulations Sword blinked: "Why?"

Lin Ye reminded her, "Wu Xiangjun may have a quasi-Emperor level helper."

Nine Tribulations Sword fell into deep thought, then said, "I understand."

Lin Ye thought of something...

The Martial Emperor also has a daughter who is almost an emperor...

Bai Yue!

The immortal elixir, born on the Blood River of the Martial Emperor, can be considered half a favored daughter.

Although Bai Yue didn't say it, he guarded her corpse for ten thousand years, which shows he wasn't without feelings.
