Primordial Star Scripture

While Ye Chen, far away in the second treasure site of the "Divine Heritage Cave" within the Five Elements Mountain, longed for Jiang Yao.

In the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, at the Heavenly Sacred Palace, within the deepest secret lake sanctuary of Heavenly Saint Mountain.

Jiang Yao, wearing a simple and elegant white dress, was sitting by the lake, her star-like radiant and bright eyes gazing into the distance.

"Princess Yao, you're missing Ye Chen again," a voice said.

Hundreds of yards away from the girl, on a flat boat in the lake, the True Phoenix and Mu Lan True God, both transformed into human form, were seated in the boat, looking toward Jiang Yao on the lake shore, and smiling lightly as they spoke.

"It's been three months since Ye Chen left. Princess Yao has also been practicing in the 'Divine Phoenix Space' with us for three months."

"Every month when she comes out of the Divine Phoenix Space, she spends a whole day by herself. Now the only person Princess Yao is closest to is Ye Chen, and she really misses him."

"Yes, speaking of which, the adventure in the Five Elements Mountain is about to end. I wonder how Ye Chen's findings will turn out this time. Princess Yao has achieved great success this time with the three months of accelerated time in the 'Divine Phoenix Space'," Mu Lan True God said sentimentally.

True Phoenix also smiled gently, "This young man Ye Chen does not have the bloodline of the ancient clans from the Upper Realm. With his own effort, he has achieved such feats. He's someone with great will, persistence, and fortune. His gains from this adventure in the Five Elements Mountain will certainly not be small."

Mu Lan True God nodded, "Indeed, I do hope Ye Chen can continue this miraculous journey. Princess Yao's father and mother are still in the hands of the Divine King, and the Vermilion Bird Clan and Flying Spirit Clan, the enemies of the Divine Phoenix Clan, are also still in the Upper Realm. Ye Chen would definitely not want the Princess to face these alone. Only if he is strong enough can he stand before her and be her true support."

True Phoenix's eyes shimmered with light, fixated on the distant sky, just like Jiang Yao's, "I believe that Ye Chen will indeed become a true and powerful support for the Princess!"

...

The words of Mu Lan True God and True Phoenix could not reach Ye Chen, separated by countless spaces.

But Ye Chen, who was far away in the Divine Heritage Cave, knew that just as he cared for Jiang Yao, she, in the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, must be missing him as well.

Thinking of the girl's beautiful face, her clear eyes, and the warm small hands that always tightly gripped his own when they met, Ye Chen felt a wave of warmth in his heart.

The fatigue from braving the Divine Heritage Cave seemed to vanish at the thought.

"Let's move on!"

"For my own strength, and for Jiang Yao, for my people, and for Jiang Yao's people, I need to become even stronger!"

"Mid-stage Spin Elixir realm, late-stage Heavenly Saint battle power? That's still far from enough! There are more powerful True Gods, Divine Kings, and even the great Divine Sovereigns... still ahead!"

Ye Chen, filled with strength, snapped out of his reverie of Jiang Yao and reviewed his items, and his gaze towards the second treasure site became even more resolute.

"There's still half a day left to hunt for treasure in this second site; after one more search, I can tackle the final Path of Life and Death, the last treasure site!"

"The Fat and Thin Twin Saints have already died by my hand, and Ding Xiaojia is preparing to be teleported out. I wonder how the others are doing now. Huo Mei'er, the Three-Eyed Skeleton, as well as Saint Heir Jin Lieyang from the Xuanjin Continent, it's very likely that some of them have already made it to the third section of the Path of Life and Death, or even into the third treasure site!"

"I must hurry as well!"

With these thoughts, Ye Chen's figure moved, and he flew out of the treasure cave space where the "Green Spirit Marrow Heart Liquid" was hidden, flying toward other parts of the second treasure site, continuing his treasure hunt.

After half a day, having found two more treasures, Ye Chen was directly transported by the Treasure Cave Key to the checkpoint of the third section of the Path of Life and Death.

...

The third section of the Path of Life and Death is the last and most dangerous checkpoint of the Divine Heritage Cave.

After passing through this checkpoint, one can directly enter the last treasure site of the Divine Heritage Cave.

When Ye Chen was transported to the third section of the Path of Life and Death, he found that what appeared before him this time was neither the golden, glittering "Desert of Death" from the first section nor the vast brown expanse hiding the "Light of Death" Primordial Divine Light from the second section.

This time, Ye Chen was unexpectedly teleported directly into an extremely dark and narrow passage.

This pitch-black passage stretched on endlessly ahead, as if there were no end in sight!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

If many unprepared treasure hunters were suddenly transported to such a place, especially being the final section of the Path of Life and Death, where even with psychic detection one couldn't see clearly through the dark passage, it is likely that many treasure hunters would be completely startled without even starting the challenge.

But now, standing in the dark passage, Ye Chen's eyes were becoming increasingly bright.

"The third section of the Path of Life and Death, it really is the 'Death Illusionary Realm' checkpoint!"

"The form of the checkpoint hasn't changed, but this time, every part of the Divine Heritage Cave has become much more dangerous than before. I'm afraid this 'Death Illusionary Realm' will pose countless times more danger."

The first time Ye Chen came to this third section of the Path of Life and Death, he seemed to have an incomparable understanding of this place.

This was thanks to the Fat and Thin Twin Saints who were previously killed by the Ice Eleven and Ice Twelve!

These two Heavenly Saints had previously challenged the Divine Heritage Cave several times, and through their Divine Soul memories, combined with his own experiences from the previous two sections of the Path of Life and Death, Ye Chen had become extremely familiar with the third section!

In the memory of the Fat and Thin Twin Saints, the first section of the Path of Life and Death was the "Desert of Death" checkpoint, the second was the "Light of Death" checkpoint, and the third was the "Death Illusionary Realm" checkpoint.

In the "Desert of Death" checkpoint, there used to be three rounds of monster attacks, this time it turned into nine rounds, and even the monsters themselves became a lot more formidable.

The "Light of Death" checkpoint, this time, evolved from the "Purple Orchid Holy Light" which could kill many late-stage Heavenly Saints, to the "Primordial Divine Light" that even low-grade divine artifacts couldn't withstand, and could even kill lower-ranking True Gods!

In the memory of the Fat and Thin Twin Saints, the "Death Illusionary Realm" checkpoint used to encounter three phases of illusions that could affect and even strangle the Divine Soul.

Now, having gone through the increased danger of the first two sections of the Path of Life and Death, Ye Chen already knew that the upcoming "Death Illusionary Realm" would likely have far more than three stages of illusions, and the lethality of the illusions would also increase many times over.

"I wonder how many stages of illusion my Divine Soul can withstand," Ye Chen's gaze drifted towards the pitch-black passage ahead, "If it can't withstand them, I'll have to rely on the 'Ice Snow Jade Pendant.'

The Ice Snow Jade Pendant, a high-grade divine artifact, unlike the Purple Mist True Garment, a lower-grade divine artifact that could only defend against attacks at the level of True Qi, the Ice Snow Jade Pendant could even defend against attacks targeting the Divine Soul.

It was for this reason that Ye Chen felt more confident in tackling this final challenge after realizing the third section of the Path of Life and Death was the "Death Illusionary Realm."

Clutching the Ice Snow Jade Pendant in his hand, Ye Chen took a deep breath and strode forward into the pitch-black passage.

After traversing about several hundred yards, Ye Chen felt the dark passage vanish, and he was instantly transported to a vast plain.

The plain seemed incredibly real, hardly resembling an illusion.

If Ye Chen had come to this plain for the first time, he might have thought he had entered into another space.

But now, looking at the plain, Ye Chen's expression did not change in the slightest, knowing in his heart that he was still within that dark passage, and this plain was nothing more than an illusionary realm!

Because this illusion, Ye Chen had once seen in the memory of the Fat and Thin Twin Saints, was precisely a trial of psychological fear.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As Ye Chen surveyed the vast plain illusion, a thunderous roar came from the end of the plain.

Then, countless terrifying monsters surged over the horizon like a tide, Ye Chen saw that there must have been over ten thousand of them, each with an aura reaching the late stages of Heavenly Saints!

The horde of monsters rushed out from the end of the plain, overwhelming Ye Chen in a frenzied flood, and in a moment, they were tens of yards away from him.

Ye Chen could clearly see the bloodthirsty fangs of these monsters, hear their low roars, and even the putrid stench emanating from their bodies was now unmistakably discernible to him!
