Primordial Star Scripture

Seeing the expressions on Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's faces, Elder Ku Du knew that Jiang Yao hoped Ye Chen would seize the Eye of the Divine Sea, and Ye Chen, too, had become extremely interested in the grand reward of the Eye of the Divine Sea.

Elder Ku Du smiled and then said, "I have also told you the secret of the Eye of the Divine Sea."

"The most precious reward behind the Eye of the Divine Sea, whoever among you wants to obtain it, can. But, you will also need to have absolute strength to do so."

"Keep in mind that over the years, through countless great purges and calamities, very few have managed to obtain the Eye of the Divine Sea, which already speaks to the difficulty of achieving it."

"And this time, the Eye of the Divine Sea has appeared on the thirty-second floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, which makes obtaining it all the more challenging. The difficulty you faced to get here was considerable, and likewise, the difficulty to acquire the Eye of the Divine Sea will be just as great!"

The words of Elder Ku Du did not intimidate Ye Chen, who said to him, "Senior, please advise on how to obtain the Eye of the Divine Sea."

Let alone the fact that the Eye of the Divine Sea is connected to the precious opportunity to go to the Divine Kingdom and participate in the assessment for the "Nine Great God Institutes"—even without this most valuable award, to help the True God Heavenly Saint beside him escape the mass extinction of the great purge, Ye Chen would not give up the chance to acquire the Eye of the Divine Sea.

No matter how difficult, he would strive to obtain it!

He had already breached up to the thirty-second floor of the thirty-three layers of the Undersea Divine Palace!

He had even broken into the fourth-dimensional space hidden within the thirty-second layer!

Would he fear the remaining challenges?!

Observing Ye Chen's serious demeanor and the determined look in his eyes, Elder Ku Du silently nodded in approval.

This youth displayed a courageous and unyielding spirit.

Elder Ku Du said to Ye Chen, "As I mentioned earlier, the Eye of the Divine Sea's difficulty varies depending on where it appears in the Undersea Divine Palace. Appearing on the thirty-second floor is one of the most challenging scenarios."

"Aside from the inherent difficulty of entering the thirty-second floor, the greatest challenge is that to gain the Eye of the Divine Sea from the thirty-second floor, one must kill a hundred Ancient Beasts each at the Five Tribulations True God level!"

A hundred Ancient Beasts at the Five Tribulations True God level?

This is the greatest challenge?

Ye Chen thought he had heard wrong.

After all, in the thirteenth floor of the Undersea Divine Palace, he faced the assault of more than a thousand Five Tribulations and Six Tribulations True God level demon creatures of the Flame Scorcher Clan and had even slain thousands of them in succession.

To slay Ancient Beasts at the Five Tribulations True God level?

Ye Chen feels that is hardly a challenge at all!

Could it be that the issue wasn't with the Five Tribulations True God level, but with the Ancient Beasts themselves?

Could these Ancient Beasts have some special trait?

As Ye Chen was puzzled, Jiang Yao next to him was equally bewildered, when Elder Ku Du spoke again: "These Five Tribulations True God Ancient Beasts are not the same as the demon creatures with the combat power of Five Tribulations True Gods; although these Ancient Beasts are at the Five Tribulations True God level, their actual combat power is far stronger than many Nine Tribulations True God demon creatures inside the Undersea Divine Palace!"

"These Ancient Beasts, just like countless prodigies who can fight above their level, surpass their own realms in combat power!"

"Forget these Ancient Beasts for now. Young man, if you have the chance to go to the Divine Kingdom someday, do not compare the True Gods there with those of the Minor Spirit Realm. You must understand that the True Gods of the Divine Kingdom are not only very powerful in their practice of True Qi Technique in the True Qi Realm but also extraordinarily strong in other aspects."

"Many Five Tribulations True Gods of the Divine Kingdom are far superior to Nine Tribulations True Gods from this Minor Spirit Realm!"

Elder Ku Du's words made Ye Chen nod repeatedly.

So that's how it is!

Ye Chen was very clear about this, for he was able to combat Seven and Eight Tribulations True Gods in the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint because he cultivated Stellar Power from the Primordial Star Scripture, and he also possessed the Undying Divine Body and the Icebound Divine Body, as well as Divine Soul Category Divine Arts.

Because of these techniques, Ye Chen far surpassed martial artists of the same level in the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm, even exceeding countless True Gods.

But this superiority only applied to the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm.

When Ye Chen would face the formidable beings of the True God Realm from the Divine Kingdom, many of his advantages would no longer be so apparent.

The Primordial Star Scripture, which might be a trump card surpassing even the Sovereign level, indeed was extraordinarily powerful, but Ye Chen had only cultivated up to the fourth chapter and had not yet fully mastered it.

And the Divine Body and Divine Soul techniques Ye Chen had cultivated would surely also exist among the True Gods of the Divine Kingdom.

Even some True Gods, perhaps those taught by Divine Venerable or Sovereign level beings, might possess techniques even more formidable than Ye Chen's!

In that case, if Ye Chen wished to battle Eight Tribulations True Gods from the Divine Kingdom while in the mid-stage of Heavenly Saint, it would be nothing but a dream.

Even if he encountered divine prodigies as exceptional as himself from the Divine Kingdom, he might need to be cautious even against lower-ranking True Gods.

While Ye Chen might surpass many in the Divine Kingdom, it certainly wouldn't be as effortless as it was in the Minor Spirit Realm and the thirty-three continents of the Lower Realm.

Unless he further enhanced his techniques!

"After truly entering the Divine Kingdom, one must compete with the geniuses of the kingdom; at the very least, there must be no weaknesses," Ye Chen thought to himself.

The greatest gap between him and the strong practitioners of the Divine Kingdom was likely the difference in their realms.

This made Ye Chen feel an even greater sense of urgency to break through to the True God Realm!

As Ye Chen pondered, Elder Ku Du said, "This Ancient Beast of the Five-Tribulations True God level was cultivated by a warrior of the Divine Venerable Realm. Its true combat power surpasses that of an ordinary Nine Tribulations True God. Thus, to slay a hundred such Ancient Beasts is exceedingly difficult!"

"Young lad, are you ready to take on this most difficult challenge and seize the 'Eye of the Divine Sea'?"

Hearing that these Five-Tribulations True God Ancient Beasts actually had combat power surpassing that of ordinary Nine Tribulations True Gods, and that he had to slay a hundred of them, even Jiang Yao began to worry for Ye Chen.

And Ye Chen took a deep breath himself.

Previously, in his battle against the elder patriarch of the Flying Spirit Clan, his combat power had not reached the level to fight an ordinary Nine Tribulations True God without resorting to the method of Emperor Yan's Triple Flash Triple Kill.

If it had been before, Ye Chen would not have been confident in slaying a hundred such Ancient Beasts.

But now, Ye Chen had a new technique up his sleeve.

He had not fully tested this technique yet, but now, it was time to thoroughly put it to the test.

Ye Chen said to Elder Ku Du, "Senior, I am ready. No matter how powerful those Ancient Beasts are, I want to give it a try!"

Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Elder Ku Du nodded his head.

Whoosh!

With a spread of his hand, a miniature ancient pagoda appeared in his palm.

"Within this ancient pagoda are contained the Eye of the Divine Sea and a hundred Ancient Beasts. Only by killing all hundred Ancient Beasts will you be able to obtain the Eye of the Divine Sea."

"If you fail to kill these hundred Ancient Beasts, you may even lose your life inside."

"I'll ask you one last time, are you sure you want to challenge the tower, slay the Ancient Beasts, and seize the Eye of the Divine Sea?"

Elder Ku Du lifted the pagoda, looking at Ye Chen as he spoke.

"Ye Chen..." Jiang Yao looked at Ye Chen with concern as well.

Even Tianji True God, who was nearby, began to worry for the young lad. Having followed Elder Ku Du in his cultivation, he naturally knew how formidable these Ancient Beasts cultivated by Divine Venerables from the Divine Kingdom could be. Although they were only Five-Tribulations True God level Ancient Beasts, their combat power was nothing to scoff at!

Seeing the concerned looks from Jiang Yao and Tianji True God, Ye Chen smiled, nodding at Tianji True God and transmitting his voice to Jiang Yao, "It's alright, Yao'er. Even if I cannot defeat these Ancient Beasts, it's impossible for them to kill me. You've forgotten that I still have one use of Emperor Yan's Three Flashes Three Kills escape technique. If it comes to it, I'll simply flash out of there."

"Besides, I might not necessarily be defeated by these Ancient Beasts!"

Ye Chen then gazed directly at the "Purple Lightning Divine Sword" in his hands.

Hearing Ye Chen's words, Jiang Yao nodded her head. She even took out the feather given to her by Mrs. He and handed it to Ye Chen, also telling him how to activate the feather.

Jiang Yao said to Ye Chen, "Take this feather for safety's sake."

When Elder Ku Du saw the feather Jiang Yao presented, a flash of recognition shone in his eyes.

Of course, he recognized the Sovereign-level power on the feather!

This was a Protective Talisman created by a Sovereign Realm expert to safeguard oneself—all it required was activation.

Elder Ku Du also sensed the familiar power within the feather.

Looking at Jiang Yao, he thought with some surprise, "It seems this young girl has had quite the opportunity to have met Mrs. He herself."

Aside from his secluded cultivation, Elder Ku Du had only observed the Undersea Divine Palace when he collected the tens of thousands of Sword Cultivators for the thirty-second layer. At that time, Jiang Yao was cultivating on the thirty-third layer while Ye Chen was in the Void Celestial Gourd, so Elder Ku Du hadn't noticed the encounter between Jiang Yao, Mrs. He, and the nine Female Divine Venerables.

While Elder Ku Du reflected, Ye Chen also accepted the feather. He knew Jiang Yao's intentions; without taking the feather, she would surely be extremely worried.

However, Ye Chen did not plan to use the feather to either escape or slay enemies. First, Jiang Yao had mentioned that the feather could only be used against three opponents. Mrs. He intended to prevent Jiang Yao from becoming overly reliant on it, leaving only three chances for one-on-one combat. Given there were a hundred Ancient Beasts to face, it clearly would not suffice, just like the three uses of Emperor Yan's Three Flashes Three Kills would not.

Secondly, Ye Chen was eager to test the new technique he had just cultivated!

After securing Mrs. He's Divine Feather, Ye Chen looked at Elder Ku Du and said, "Senior, please open this ancient pagoda and let me enter to claim the 'Eye of the Divine Sea'."

Seeing Ye Chen determined to enter the ancient pagoda and seize the "Eye of the Divine Sea," Elder Ku Du no longer hesitated.

With a flicker of Divine Light from his hand, the tiny pagoda began to spin and grow before their eyes until it landed on the ground, transforming into a colossal Pagoda.

The grand doors of the Pagoda swung open towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen gave Jiang Yao a reassuring smile, nodded at Thousand Mechanisms True God and Elder Ku Du, and then "whooshed" as he flew into the ancient tower.
