Primordial Star Scripture

Seeing Qing Shan Divine Master take out this peculiar rhombic stone emanating divine light of five colors, the remaining three Great Commanders were not surprised.

Ciling Divine Master smiled and transmitted to Qing Shan Divine Master, saying, "Qing Shan, you're still not giving up. So many batches of challengers have come here. Each time, you bring out the 'Five Blood Stone' to test, and so far you've only found three suitable auxiliary bloodline martial artists."

"I think there's no need to put more effort into it. Once we complete this rotation task and leave Heavenly God Mountain, you'll naturally have time to gather the auxiliary bloodline martial artists."

Ciling Divine Master's words made Qing Shan Divine Master shake his head, "I don't want to wait that long. If we could freely leave Heavenly God Mountain, and if I hadn't created this cultivation technique only after coming here, I wouldn't have to worry about bloodline martial artists."

"I'll try again. If I find someone, great. If not, I'll wait for the next batch of challengers to test. I'll eventually find enough!"

Beside him, Jiuyuan Divine Master, the Fifth Commander, smiled, "The more bloodline martial artists assist in Qing Shan's cultivation technique, the more he can advance. When Qing Shan gathers the five types of auxiliary bloodlines and cultivates this technique to great accomplishment, he might directly break through to the Fourth Divine Master Realm!"

Divine Master Huafeng, the Fourth Commander, looked at Sima Liao and remarked, "This challenger seems to be from a high-level spirit clan in this universe — a member of the 'Snow Liao Tribe.'"

"Maybe his bloodline can become one of the auxiliary bloodline martial artists."

Huafeng Divine Master's words made Qing Shan Divine Master smile, "I noticed this little one a while ago, but I haven't tested his bloodline yet, so I'm not sure if it's suitable."

The Divine Masters conversed via transmission, their gazes occasionally flickering over Sima Liao.

Sima Liao had long since noticed that Qing Shan Divine Master, Ciling Divine Master, and others had been paying attention to him.

This made Sima Liao inwardly delighted, "Could it be that I've caught the attention of these Divine Masters?!"

Sima Liao always thought that the Divine Masters were more focused on Lin Shan or Ye Chen, and definitely not on him.

But now, seeing the Divine Masters' eyes skim over him, he was overjoyed!

Long had Sima Liao desired to catch the attention of these Divine Masters, to cling to the legs of such great figures!

In Sima Liao's excitement and nervousness, Qing Shan Divine Master turned his gaze toward Lin Shan, who had the highest realm among the four.

"You first," Qing Shan Divine Master said to Lin Shan.

Lin Shan nodded, placing his hand on the 'Five Blood Stone' with some excitement.

But after several breaths, the 'Five Blood Stone' showed no change.

Qing Shan Divine Master shook his head, "Your bloodline isn't suitable to assist in my cultivation technique."

Immediately, he shifted his gaze to Sima Liao, "Next, it's your turn."

When Qing Shan Divine Master looked at Sima Liao, Sima Liao noticed a hint of tension in his eyes.

Qing Shan Divine Master's gaze at him differed markedly from his gaze at Lin Shan!

"Could it be that my high-level spirit clan bloodline attracted the Divine Master's attention?"

"This Divine Master seeks a bloodline martial artist for assistance... Yes, bloodline assistance! Though I'm not as strong as Ye Chen and Lin Shan, they don't possess my unique bloodline. My bloodline is that of a high-level spirit clan!"

"If selected by this Second Commander to assist in his cultivation, it would mean helping the Divine Master greatly. In that case, wouldn't I be highly valued by the Second Commander?! And getting his protection would be so easy!"

"With the Divine Master's protection, I wouldn't need to fear Ye Chen anymore. I might even use the Divine Master's hand against Ye Chen!"

Thinking this, Sima Liao's hand trembled with excitement.

In his nervous excitement, he placed his hand on the 'Five Blood Stone.'

After several breaths, an astonishing scene unfolded, shocking many present.

Only to see that after several breaths, where Sima Liao's palm touched the 'Five Blood Stone,' a strange blood-red light suddenly radiated.

This light was one of the five colors of the 'Five Blood Stone'!

Seeing the light bloom, Qing Shan Divine Master tightened his grip on the 'Five Blood Stone' in an excited instant.

How could he not be excited?

The five lights blooming indicated that Sima Liao's bloodline was suitable for assisting him in cultivating his technique!

Not only suitable, but Sima Liao's bloodline also filled the gap of a missing auxiliary bloodline among the five. It didn't overlap with the three auxiliary martial artists' bloodlines he'd found.

This made Qing Shan Divine Master's gaze toward Sima Liao wholly different.

Laughing heartily, he said, "Excellent, excellent. What's your name? From now on, you'll be under my jurisdiction, following me in cultivation!"

Success?

Hearing Qing Shan Divine Master's words, Sima Liao momentarily couldn't believe it but then burst with joy.

He immediately bowed to Qing Shan Divine Master, "Junior Sima Liao is willing to serve the Divine Master!"

Qing Shan Divine Master relished Sima Liao's deference with a pleased nod.

The other three Divine Masters hadn't expected Qing Shan Divine Master to indeed find another suitable auxiliary bloodline martial artist this time.

All three congratulated Qing Shan Divine Master.

Ciling Divine Master laughingly added, "Qing Shan, you have a great harvest this time. Why not try the other two? If someone else can assist you in cultivation, we wouldn't mind giving you the spot."

Divine Master Huafeng and Jiuyuan Divine Master nodded, "Indeed."

Qing Shan Divine Master didn't hold back; after all, he didn't want to miss any suitable bloodline martial artists.

Next, he let Mu Qingxue and Ye Chen have a go.

But to his disappointment, neither Mu Qingxue nor Ye Chen could make his 'Five Blood Stone' emit any strange light.

The two weren't suitable to assist in his cultivation.

"Alright, only this 'Sima Liao' is suitable for me, so he will be under my jurisdiction."

Finally, Qing Shan Divine Master declared his choice.

Sima Liao heard the affection in Qing Shan Divine Master's words and eagerly ran to stand obediently behind him.

However, his eyes showed a mix of pride and disdain when they swept over Ye Chen.

"Ye Chen, things are bad now. We've failed to kill Sima Liao multiple times, and now he's gotten close to the Divine Master!" Mu Qingxue said with a slightly grim expression to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected Sima Liao to attract the Second Commander's attention with his 'Snow Liao Tribe' bloodline.

"The 'Snow Liao Tribe' bloodline is indeed a high-level spirit clan bloodline. Initially, I used the 'Snow Liao Tribe' essence blood from Xuan Chong of the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom to successfully activate one of the seven stars on the Star Disk. And now, Qing Shan Divine Master can use the 'Snow Liao Tribe' bloodline for cultivation as well!"

Though wary of Sima Liao's smug look, Ye Chen didn't pay it much mind.

What the Divine Masters didn't know was that when his hand touched the 'Five Blood Stone,' Ye Chen felt as though the Stars Tower in his Qi Sea was about to crush the 'Five Blood Stone'!

Though this sensation vanished instantly, Ye Chen sensed the Stars Tower might have immense suppressive power over the 'Five Blood Stone'!

Ever since coming to Heavenly God Mountain, the Stars Tower had shown signs of peculiar phenomena.

Evidently, the Heavenly God Mountain from the Cosmic Sea seemed to activate something within the Stars Tower.

Although Sima Liao had the support of Qing Shan Divine Master now, Ye Chen felt if Qing Shan Divine Master truly threatened him, the Stars Tower might undergo another transformation!

This brought a hint of tranquility to Ye Chen's mind.

There's no telling if Qing Shan Divine Master would support Sima Liao against him, but if he did, Ye Chen might be able to resist!

Ye Chen's thoughts flashed past.

After Qing Shan Divine Master selected his subordinate, it was Ciling Divine Master's turn.

She didn't use any treasures but directly invited Mu Qingxue, "Little girl, you belong under my command. Our Third Command District has many Female Sovereigns."

As Ciling Divine Master spoke, many Female Sovereigns in the hall smiled gently.

These people were evidently under Ciling Divine Master's jurisdiction.

Mu Qingxue was also quite satisfied with being chosen by Ciling Divine Master; she bowed respectfully and nodded to Ye Chen before joining Ciling Divine Master's side.

In the end, Divine Master Huafeng, the Fourth Commander, chose the higher-realm Lin Shan, while Ye Chen fell under Ciuyuan Divine Master, the Fifth Commander's jurisdiction.

Once the four newcomers were assigned, the respected Sovereigns followed their respective commanders into different passages.

Those belonging to the jurisdiction of the Great Commander walked alone down another passage.

There were six passages in the great hall, five leading to different commander districts, and another leading to the 'Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.'

Over thirty Sovereigns surged in front of Ye Chen and Jiuyuan Divine Master, curiously scrutinizing Ye Chen.

Jiuyuan Divine Master, wearing green robes, had delicate features and bore a purple divine pattern between his brows.

Yet he showed little interest in Ye Chen.

As the last to choose this time, Jiuyuan Divine Master was left with only Ye Chen, which didn't particularly excite him.

Though Ye Chen, at the Middle God King Realm, managed to break through the Three Great Undersea Killing Formations, evidently extraordinary, as a Divine Master, Jiuyuan Divine Master had seen countless exceptional martial artists.

Of the Sovereigns still alive at his side, hadn't all successfully navigated the Three Great Killing Formations? Weren't they all renowned when charging Heaven Divine Mountain?

Even so, they're trapped here.

In Jiuyuan Divine Master's eyes, if Ye Chen could avoid falling to Divine Tribulation before entering the Sovereign Realm, it would be a pleasant surprise.

"Come, let's return to the Fifth Commander District. I'll show you our jurisdiction and inform you of the 'Refine the Purple Silver Pearl' task."

"Afterward, I'll take you to see the 'Purple Crystal Divine Mountain.'"

Jiuyuan Divine Master calmly said to Ye Chen.
