Before the royal hall of the Nine Nether King's Estate, the Nine Transformations of Xuanjie reappeared. Nine streams of black light rose into the air, their forms constantly changing—now a spear, now a halberd, now a divine sword, now armor.
Nine transformations, each different from the last. Rare demonic weapons of the mortal world revealed peerless sharpness.
"The Nine Transformations of Xuanjie was forged from stellar iron from beyond the heavens. It is both utterly hard and utterly soft, an exceptionally special weapon. If you wish to control it, you must cultivate the Nine Nether Secret Art to its utmost limit."
The Nine Nether King waved his hand, dispersing Xuanjie's transformations. Demonic threads around him unraveled, thousands upon thousands of strands flowing into Ning Chen's body.
"I gave you ten days to cultivate the Soaring Swan Art because you would not be able to master it in ten days; no matter how long you tried afterward, it would be useless. However, the Sacred Imperial Law and the Nine Nether Secret Art are different. There are no shortcuts to cultivating these two arts. You can only rely on extensive practice. Tomorrow, I will enter the palace and do my utmost to buy you time. During that time, cultivate with all your strength. Master as much as you can!"
