Primordial Star Scripture

Seeing Ye Chen's solemn expression, Elder Ku Du looked at him seriously and said, "Young man, I have observed your battle with the ancient beast. Your physical skills possess the Undying Divine Body, and although you have not fully cultivated it, this Undying Divine Body would be considered absolutely powerful even in the Divine Kingdom. Your physical skills are not weaker when compared to the peerless geniuses in the Divine Kingdom."

"Your True Qi Technique, your special True Qi, is the key to your ability to combat across realms. I, too, sensed a powerful and extraordinary force within it. Unfortunately, your realm is still far from sufficient. If you were able to break through to the True God Realm or even to the level of Two Tribulations True God or Three Tribulations True God, perhaps your True Qi Technique could also cross realms and battle with those True God Heaven's Chosen in the Divine Kingdom!"

"However, your Divine Soul skills are the weakest. I see you have not cultivated any truly formidable Divine Soul tactics."

Hearing Elder Ku Du's words, Ye Chen could not help but admire the vision of this Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

He had directly seen the extraordinary nature of the Primordial Star Scripture's Primordial Chapter's stellar power that Ye Chen cultivated, as well as Ye Chen's insufficient realm and the weakness in his soul tactics.

As for Divine Soul tactics, although Ye Chen had practiced them in the Minor Pole Sky, his actual combat means only consisted of the Destruction Eye Skills, which was a Divine Art from the Minor Spirit Realm. If placed in the Divine Kingdom, it was, like many of the techniques he had cultivated before, somewhat insufficient.

Indeed, as Elder Ku Du pointed out, only Ye Chen's Primordial Star Scripture's techniques and skills like the Undying Divine Body and Icebound Divine Body could still hold their ground in the Divine Kingdom.

"It seems that in addition to raising my realm, I need to continue cultivating several powerful skills!" Ye Chen thought to himself.

As Ye Chen pondered ways to make himself stronger, Elder Ku Du sighed and said to Ye Chen, "Young man, being able to achieve what you have in the lower realm is already incredibly difficult. You can be said to be a true rare Heaven's Chosen in tens of thousands of years!"

"Since we are fated to meet, and I am presiding over the most precious 'Eye of the Divine Sea' challenge in the Undersea Divine Palace, besides the reward from the Eye of the Divine Sea, I will also give you two special rewards."

Hearing Elder Ku Du's words, not only did Ye Chen and Jiang Yao feel moved, but even the nearby Thousand Extremes True God and the Little Child turned their attention toward Elder Ku Du.

Elder Ku Du, a Sovereign Realm powerhouse, was offering Ye Chen a reward; without thinking, one knew how precious it would be.

Seeing the eager looks of the few youngsters, Elder Ku Du smiled lightly, turned his wrist, and a simple and ancient Manual appeared in his palm.

"This 'Nine Swords of Annihilation' Manual is a Divine Soul Category offensive Manual, which, according to the Divine Kingdom's categorization of Manuals, can be considered a top-grade 'Heaven-reaching Divine Art.'"

Heaven-reaching Divine Art?!

Ye Chen had never heard this term before. He had only heard of Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts, which Divine Kings often used. Could it be that Heaven-reaching Divine Arts were at the level of Divine Kings?

Then why had the Icebound Divine King not left him any Heaven-reaching Divine Arts?

Seeing Ye Chen's puzzled look, the Little Child beside Elder Ku Du spoke up first: "Heaven-reaching Divine Arts are Divine Arts created by Divine Venerables or Sovereigns themselves; even many Upper God Kings don't have the chance to come into contact with them."

"And a top-grade Heaven-reaching Divine Art can be said to be the strongest Divine Art that martial artists at the level of True God can cultivate. As for the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Arts, which are even more powerful than Heaven-reaching Divine Arts, even martial artists with the combat power of True Gods, if they exhausted all their power, could not perform a single move of the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Art. For you right now, they are not as useful as the Heaven-reaching Divine Arts."

The Little Child's words made Ye Chen draw in a deep breath.

Heaven-reaching Divine Arts, Divine Arts created by Divine Venerables and Sovereigns!

And top-grade Heaven-reaching Divine Arts are the strongest Divine Arts that martial artists at the level of True God could cultivate! Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire

As for the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Arts that could drain all combat power and still not be performed, Ye Chen could relate deeply. When he used the Purple Lightning Divine Sword's Prohibition moves, allowing the sword to exert the combat power of a Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact, he could only use one move before his combat power was completely depleted.

Such was the extraordinariness of Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts and Divine Arts.

As for the Mysterious Heavenly Divine Arts, without thinking, Ye Chen knew that even if he were to exert all his combat power now, he likely couldn't activate them in the slightest.

Such things were still far beyond Ye Chen's reach, unless he cultivated to the much stronger Divine King Realm.

Hearing the Little Child explain, Elder Ku Du scolded with a smile: "You Sword Spirit, sure are talkative."

Elder Ku Du's teasing scold made the Little Child also stick out his tongue playfully.

Hearing Elder Ku Du addressing the Little Child as Sword Spirit, Ye Chen came to understand the identity of this Little Child.

Sword Spirits are said to be born within the Divine Swords of exceptionally powerful Sword Cultivators or are extraordinary beings absorbed by powerful Sword Cultivators into their Divine Swords to become Sword Spirits.

Given that Elder Ku Du could impart Swordsmanship skills, causing numerous Sword Cultivators to emerge from the Beiming Clan and Blood God Clan, it was clear he had high attainments in the art of the sword. It was not surprising that he had a Sword Spirit.

At this moment, Ye Chen's attention returned to the top-grade Heaven-reaching Divine Art "Nine Swords of Annihilation" that Elder Ku Du had just presented.

Clearly, this was a form of swordsmanship divine art, and it belonged to the category of divine soul attack techniques — a heaven-reaching divine art!

Seeing Ye Chen curiously examining the "Nine Swords of Annihilation" manual, Elder Ku Du smiled and handed the manual to Ye Chen, "This manual is the first reward I am giving you."

"Cultivate well, and if you can master the 'Nine Swords of Annihilation' up to the fourth sword, then your divine soul means won't fear anyone in the assessments of the 'Nine Great God Institutes.'"

"Thank you, senior!"

Holding the manual in his hands, Ye Chen gave a deep bow in gratitude to Elder Ku Du.

A heaven-reaching divine art, and a high-grade one at that. Only a venerable practitioner like Elder Ku Du could casually offer it — it was coveted by countless Divine Kings in the Divine Kingdoms. Naturally, Ye Chen was extremely grateful to Elder Ku Du.

Receiving a high-grade heaven-reaching divine art manual was definitely a tremendous reward for Ye Chen!

Not only Ye Chen but Jiang Yao also deeply bowed in gratitude to Elder Ku Du, thanking him on behalf of Ye Chen.

Seeing Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, the two youngsters bowing in gratitude, Elder Ku Du waved his hand and chuckled, "Speaking of which, the second reward I have prepared is related to both of you youngsters."

"Bring out that pair of flying swords you displayed to my little disciple earlier."

Flying swords?

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged a glance.

They had indeed displayed their flying swords when they first met Thousand Mechanisms True God, to encounter her. Unexpectedly, the second reward Elder Ku Du mentioned was related to these flying swords.

Could it be that Elder Ku Du intended to help them reforge the flying swords?

As Ye Chen and Jiang Yao suspected, they indeed brought out their flying swords.

Ye Chen's flying sword, nurtured by the Void Heaven Sword Embryo, had broken through to the divine artifact level, but it was still considered low-grade among divine artifacts. Meanwhile, Jiang Yao's flying sword had only been nurtured in the Void Heaven Sword Embryo while Ye Chen was by her side. Due to insufficient time, it was still originally at the highest grade of sacred artifact level.

"A low-grade divine artifact, and a supreme sacred artifact. These are far from enough for you two youngsters," said Elder Ku Du as he lightly summoned the two flying swords into the void, smiling. "Let me enhance this pair of Twin Flying Swords to the supreme heaven-reaching divine artifact level for you."

"In my martial arts cultivation technique, swordsmanship is supreme, and I still have plenty of materials suitable for reforging these flying swords."

"A stronger Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact level would be of no use to you right now; you wouldn't be able to activate it. It would draw too much attention, and might even bring about a major disaster."

Indeed, as Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had guessed, Elder Ku Du truly intended to help them reforge their flying swords!

As for Elder Ku Du's statement that a Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact could bring a great disaster, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also understood the principle of not flashing wealth too openly, and they naturally did not harbor extravagant hopes of obtaining a Mysterious Heavenly Divine Artifact just yet.

Regarding the materials mentioned by Elder Ku Du, Ye Chen thought of something. With a big grab, the five Thunder Lightning Bamboos that had once escorted him to the Minor Pole Sky, obtained from the deepest part of the Ice Fire Divine Cave in the Five Elements Mountain, appeared in his palm, "Senior, do you think these could be integrated into the flying sword?"

"Thunder Lightning Bamboo?" Elder Ku Du's eyes lit up slightly at the sight of the five Thunder Lightning Bamboos in Ye Chen's hand. "This is indeed a fine material for forging flying swords. With this, in reforging your flying swords, I can even imbue them with the power of thunder and lightning, making your deployment of the flying swords even more powerful."

"Ye Chen, the 'Nine Swords of Annihilation' manual I gave you works best when using a flying sword. Once I have reforged your flying swords, you will understand," he said.

Hearing that the Thunder Lightning Bamboo was useful, Ye Chen handed all five Thunder Lightning Bamboos to Elder Ku Du.

As for Elder Ku Du's remark about the flying swords being more formidable when deploying the Nine Swords of Annihilation, it became an unexpected joy for Ye Chen.

"Reforging the flying swords won't take long. You can wait for me here for five days, or go to the thirty-third level to venture, and come back later to get your flying swords," Elder Ku Du said to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao after taking the Thunder Lightning Bamboos into his hands.

When Elder Ku Du mentioned the thirty-third level, Jiang Yao suddenly remembered something.

She hastily asked Elder Ku Du, "Senior, are you clear about the situation on the thirty-third level? Within the thirty-third level, there are still the last fourteen Eyes of Creation. Rumor has it that obtaining the last fourteen Eyes of Creation will bring great benefits to a martial artist's cultivation, and gathering all thirty-three Eyes of Creation will grant access to something left by Lord Emperor Yan in the Undersea Divine Palace. Senior, do you happen to know what these two rewards are specifically?"

"The reward of the thirty-third level?" Upon hearing Jiang Yao's question, Elder Ku Du's eyebrows twitched, then he spoke, "I do know of both rewards."

"If someone could obtain those fourteen Eyes of Creation from the thirty-third level, they could have the opportunity to directly advance one Realm. If either of you manages to get them, you could break through from the mid-phase of Heavenly Saint directly to the late phase without spending time on cultivation and preparation!"

"As for the reward for gathering all thirty-three Eyes of Creation? That reward is indeed precious. However, the Eyes of Creation from the upper levels have already been secured. Unless you have some Eyes of Creation, there's no chance for you to claim that reward anymore."
