Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen's gaze first fell upon the archaic scripture of "Destruction Eye Skills."

"According to the Divine Soul memories of the two Heavenly Saints, they obtained this secret scripture of Destruction Eye Skills from a Treasure Cave located somewhere in the second treasure site during their last venture into the Divine Heritage Cave."

"And it is an extremely powerful set of Divine Arts for the Divine Soul!"

"This set of Divine Arts possesses two great Divine Mights, 'Destruction' and 'Extinction.' The Divine Might of 'Destruction' allows one to see through many hidden things. It was with the aid of this Divine Might of 'Destruction' that the two Heavenly Saints successfully evaded the shooting of the Primordial Divine Light in the second stage of the Path of Life and Death!"

"What's more, by utilizing this Divine Might of 'Destruction,' they were able to investigate the situation of the ten Nine Suns Spirit Ginsengs protected by a prohibition light barrier! Hence they discovered that the most precious ten-thousand-year-old Nine Suns Spirit Ginseng had been taken away!"

Reading about the Divine Might of 'Destruction' from the Divine Soul memories of the obese and skinny saints, Ye Chen was also filled with amazement.

"As for the Divine Might of 'Extinction,' it's an even more powerful offensive technique that can directly attack an opponent's Divine Soul! It was precisely by employing this technique that the extremely thin Heavenly Saint was able to momentarily hold back Bing Shiyi, who was far more powerful than him."

"Although it was but a moment, in a battle of equal strength, that could directly determine the outcome of life and death!"

The more Ye Chen learned about the "Destruction Eye Skills," the more precious he found this set of Divine Arts to be.

Now that the obese and skinny saints were dead, this set of Divine Arts was in his hands, belonging to him!

Divine Arts are powerful, and of course, Ye Chen was overjoyed, which meant that he too could cultivate the Divine Mights of this set of Divine Arts!

"With this set of Divine Arts, once I've learned it, I'll have yet another powerful technique! If I had known this set of Divine Arts earlier, those two hiding on the side wouldn't have been able to deceive me, and I would have directly discovered them! Even more, if I had this set of Divine Arts earlier, during the second stage of the Path of Life and Death, I could have directly passed through without relying on the Ice Snow Jade Pendant!"

"The two great Divine Mights, 'Destruction' and 'Extinction,' of this set of Divine Arts, will surely be used in many places in the future!"

After understanding this ancient scripture of "Destruction Divine Skills," Ye Chen carefully stored it away.

Divine Arts cultivation is not achieved overnight; mastering this practice will still require much time and effort. Now, as he was venturing into the Divine Heritage Cave, time was precious, so there was no opportunity for dedicated cultivation.

Ye Chen decided that as soon as he found an appropriate time, he would thoroughly delve into this set of Divine Arts!

Next, Ye Chen turned his attention to the ancient bronze mirror, a magical treasure in his left hand.

Looking at this ancient treasure mirror, Ye Chen's eyes were even more shocked than when he saw the "Destruction Eye Skills."

"Tongming Mirror, a lower-grade Divine Artifact for assistance, an exceedingly famous type of auxiliary Divine Artifact!"

"This item is a rare object that the extremely thin Heavenly Saint chanced upon while venturing in the upper realm's minor spirit world!"

"This auxiliary Divine Artifact involves both spatial and temporal laws! This mirror can reflect events that occurred within a certain space half an hour earlier, possessing the divine function of observing past time!"

"It was by relying on this Divine Might that the recently deceased obese and skinny saints knew about the Nine Suns Spirit Ginseng I acquired ahead of them and discovered that I had obtained the most precious ten-thousand-year-old Nine Suns Spirit Ginseng!"

Previously, Ye Chen could not figure out how the obese and skinny saints knew about the ten-thousand-year-old Nine Suns Spirit Ginseng in his possession.

Now, knowing the Divine Might of the "Tongming Mirror," Ye Chen finally understood the truth of the matter!

"If it was only capable of showing events from half an hour earlier, it wouldn't be too powerful, but what's even more formidable is that this mirror directly has a tracking Divine Might, which can trace the movements of the people observed within the mirror!"

"I was wondering how they found me, but it turned out that it was this mirror that revealed my treasure-hunting route to them, leading them here in the end!"

"Moreover, by employing the 'Tongming Mirror's' third function, concealment, they evaded my detection and that of the nine great ice sentinels!"

Now Ye Chen also knew how the obese and skinny saints had managed to conceal themselves undetected previously; it turned out that it was also by relying on this "Tongming Mirror."

Investigation of the past! Tracing movements! Concealing one's body!

The three amazing effects of the Tongming Mirror left Ye Chen astounded!

An auxiliary class Divine Artifact, this was the first time Ye Chen had encountered such a Divine Artifact, truly marvelous, and greatly beneficial to Martial Artists.

What made Ye Chen even more excited was that now this treasure had fallen into his hands. Unlike the "Destruction Eye Skills" Divine Arts that require cultivation for use, after the extremely thin Heavenly Saint was executed later, this Divine Artifact became unowned, and he could utilize it directly after a simple act of acknowledgment and refinement.

This meant that Ye Chen could immediately make use of this Divine Artifact!

There was still the third segment of the Path of Life and Death to traverse in the Divine Heritage Cave, and Ye Chen, with the Great Divine Power of the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, already had the confidence to get through the third stage. Now, if he could refine the "Tongming Mirror" and possess its concealment and investigation functions, Ye Chen's chances of navigating the third stage would be even greater!

The first two stages of the Path of Life and Death were incredibly perilous, but the treasure hunting in the later areas made Ye Chen linger with attachment, and he naturally did not want to miss the even more precious third treasure site.

With this in mind, Ye Chen did not hesitate and immediately sat down cross-legged and began to refine this newly obtained auxiliary Divine Artifact, the "Tongming Mirror."

Whoosh!

With a flip of his palm, Ye Chen sent the ancient mirror flying into the void, where it hovered in the air directly in front of him.

Then, Ye Chen pinched a secret technique with his hand, and three drops of essence blood along with a thread of Divine Thought flew into the ancient mirror, beginning the process of acknowledgment and refinement of the treasure!

About two hours later, Ye Chen, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly vanished without trace, his presence no longer detectable within the entire Treasure Cave space.

The very next moment, when Ye Chen reappeared, the ancient mirror treasure lay quietly in the palm of his hand.

"The Hidden Divine Might is indeed wondrous!"

"With such concealment, probably only Virtual Heavenly True Gods could see through my tracks. If one in the Heavenly Saint Realm lacks a magical treasure that can break concealment, even those at the late stages of Heavenly Saint would absolutely fail to detect me!"

After refining and acknowledging the "Tongming Mirror" as his, Ye Chen tested the mirror's Hidden Divine Might and nodded in satisfaction.

"Unfortunately, this item is a lower-grade Divine Artifact and has one flaw: each activation can only be used for an hour, and after that time has elapsed, the artifact will enter a dormant state, only to be used again after a day."

"It seems that the chance to use this artifact for an hour each day must be reserved for critical moments."

After flipping the ancient bronze-colored "Tongming Mirror" over in his hand a couple of times, Ye Chen put it into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

Next, Ye Chen began to examine the other contents of the storage rings belonging to the fat and thin saints who had perished.

Inside the two storage rings, Ye Chen found an abundance of top-grade spirit stones as well as some treasures of little use to him. Only two items caught his attention and made him linger.

One of these items was named the "Heavenly Thunder Pearl," a one-time use magical treasure that the obese Heavenly Saint had found in the first treasure site of the Divine Heritage Cave.

The "Heavenly Thunder Pearl" was crafted by a Great Divine Practitioner using Nine Heavens True Thunder. In Ye Chen's possession, the box contained nine Heavenly Thunder Pearls. According to the instructions with the treasure, if all nine pearls were unleashed at once, they could even severely injure a First Tribulation True God and kill a peak late-stage Heavenly Saint.

Seeing this, Ye Chen drew in a sharp breath.

Fortunately, Bing Shier had acted promptly, killing the obese Heavenly Saint before he had a chance to use this treasure. Otherwise, even the immensely powerful Bing Shier might have been gravely wounded or killed.

Unless Ye Chen noticed something amiss and used the Ice Snow Jade Pendant to protect Bing Shier, it would have been possible to save him.

"It seems I need to be even more cautious in the future. Every martial artist has many hidden cards, and any one of them could kill me. I must be careful."

Ye Chen reflected on his experiences.

The fat and thin duo perished because they had underestimated him. Naturally, Ye Chen did not wish to make the same mistake and fall at the hands of another martial artist.

"It's said, 'Even when a lion fights a rabbit, it uses all its strength.' When it comes to life and death, there's no room for carelessness; one must act with full force and be thoroughly prepared."

Ye Chen reminded himself, then turned his attention to the second item he had taken out from the storage ring.

This second item was a small blue bottle containing approximately twenty drops of spiritual fluid.

"The 'Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid,' which can rapidly restore vital energy, seems to even be connected to the 'Primordial Divine Light' from the second stage of the Path of Life and Death. According to the description, this spiritual fluid is nurtured from the site where Primordial Divine Light is born."

"A single drop can directly restore the expended vital energy of a late-stage Heavenly Saint!"

"These twenty-odd drops of 'Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid' could be very useful in prolonged battles."

After inventorying all the treasures, Ye Chen packed them away and stood up from his cross-legged position.

He then collected the puppet wood that had dropped from the Heavenly Wood Puppet after it was destroyed into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant. This puppet wood was a wondrous wooden treasure for crafting puppets, and since the Heavenly Wood Puppet was of late-stage Heavenly Saint level, the wood was, of course, exceedingly precious.

Although Ye Chen did not know how to craft puppets, naturally, he wouldn't leave the wood behind.

Finally, Ye Chen walked over to the small earthen platform in this Treasure Cave space and took the green box containing the high-grade wood-type secret treasure "Green Spirit Marrow Heart Liquid" into his hands.

Upon opening the green box, Ye Chen saw five drops of emerald green, extraordinary liquid flowing inside.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

With just a light sniff of these five drops, the wood-type Divine Pill Law Pattern on the 396 Five Apertures Rotating Pills within his Qi Sea all leapt for joy.

"The second treasure site, the first treasure I've discovered on my own—Green Spirit Marrow Heart Liquid!"

"I never expected that while obtaining this treasure, I would inadvertently come to possess so many good things like the 'Tongming Mirror,' 'Destruction Eye Skills,' 'Heavenly Thunder Pearl,' and 'Primordial Extreme Spiritual Fluid'!"

With a soft smile, Ye Chen closed the green box and tucked it away.

Since arriving at the Five Elements Mountain, his gains from just a few months of adventuring were immense.

In the First Mountain, he vanquished Ao Lei and obtained the Treasure Cave Key and Purple Mist True Garment; in the Second Mountain, he encountered the Three-Eyed Skeleton and acquired the Virtual Heaven Five Extreme Fruit; in the Third Mountain, he smoothly advanced to the mid-stage of Rotating Pill; and now, having just entered the Fourth Mountain's Divine Heritage Cave five days ago, he had already found many treasures.

"In the Divine Heritage Cave, there are ten more days of exploration, and there's still over half a day left to search in the second treasure site. With the remaining time, I can take a look at the third segment of the Path of Life and Death and the third treasure site!"

"After that, I can leave the mountain and prepare to return to the Savage Continent!"

With this in mind, Ye Chen's thoughts turned to Jiang Yao, who was far away in the Heavenly Saint Palace on the Savage Continent. Having not seen her for several months, Ye Chen wondered how Jiang Yao was faring now.
