Primordial Star Scripture

Three days later.

Inside an immensely vast manor, in the cultivation room, Ye Chen was seated cross-legged.

The place where Ye Chen was now residing was the exclusive dwelling of the disciples of the First Holy Temple. After arriving at this dwelling, Ye Chen felt even more the profound foundation of the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

From the outside, every disciple of the First Holy Temple was only assigned a small residence, but once one truly entered this residence, they would find that hidden within was a space governed by the laws of space; a manor of immense proportions. Within the manor, not only was there a garden overgrown with spiritual herbs and trees, a main hall for receiving guests, but also a library stocked with books and a cultivation room for practice—all that one could wish for.

The dwelling of every disciple of the First Holy Temple was actually a space manor cultivated by Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses using the laws of space!

A grand gesture.

This was definitely a real grand gesture.

One should know that only those strong in the early stages of the Heavenly Saint Realm had the power to refine such external spaces. Early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses in other sects were almost always supreme powerhouses, and the external spaces they refined were generally for their own use.

To say that one would find a Heavenly Saint to refine space manors for disciples of lower realms, only a place like the Heavenly Sacred Palace, with a great number of Heavenly Saints, could achieve such a feat!

However, Ye Chen had also come to understand that such treatment was only available to the disciples of the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace. The disciples of the Second Holy Temple up to the Fifth Holy Temple could only live in ordinary dwellings.

Sitting cross-legged in the cultivation room, and after activating the room's protective restrictions, Ye Chen first recalled the events of the past three days.

Three days ago, after he and Jiang Yao challenged the Holy Temple Tower, it attracted the attention of numerous Heavenly Saints for apprenticeship and rewards, especially the events involving the Mu Yao Palace Master and the Skyscraper Palace Master, which, in retrospect, filled Ye Chen with some emotions.

But these emotions were nothing compared to what Ye Chen encountered later.

The source of the later events was the yellow-robed woman who last appeared outside the Holy Temple Tower!

When Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Liu Qingmei truly arrived at the "Heavenly Saint Mountain Heavens Question Hall" as mentioned by the yellow-robed woman and met her again, the three of them definitively knew that this woman was indeed the number one powerhouse of the entire Heavenly Sacred Palace, Palace Master Yuan Li!

Being personally requested for an audience by Palace Master Yuan Li, Ye Chen and his companions were of course incredibly surprised!

But when Palace Master Yuan Li took the three of them to a hidden lake in the deepest part of the Heavenly Saint Mountain and they met another great figure, Ye Chen and his companions were not just surprised anymore, they were completely astonished!

Because they saw in that lake a real True Spirit Sacred Beast—a phoenix!

Furthermore, according to Palace Master Yuan Li, this True Phoenix senior was a being that transcended the Heavenly Saint Realm, an exalted Void Sky True God!

Void Sky True God.

Ye Chen had never imagined that the Barbaric Wilderness Continent would have a Void Sky True God!

You should know, the Barbaric Wilderness Continent is one of the thirty-three lower realms of the Minor Spirit Realm, and such lower realms generally cannot give birth to a Void Sky True God. Moreover, due to the repulsion of the continental power of the lower realms, it is very difficult for a Void Sky True God to stay in the lower realms normally.

To suddenly see a True Spirit Sacred Beast of a Void Sky True God in this secretive place of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, of course, left Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and Liu Qingmei utterly disbelieving.

And what stunned Ye Chen and Jiang Yao even more was that when they first laid eyes on this great Void Sky True God, the divine phoenix, a cacophony of thunder exploded in the minds of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

Because, the appearance of this True Spirit Sacred Beast phoenix was exactly the same as the phoenix Ye Chen and Jiang Yao saw through the azure crystal in the Azure Blue Mansion, the one that took the infant Jiang Yao and flew away from the Divine Phoenix City!

Was the phoenix that took Jiang Yao and fled the Divine Phoenix City to avoid the war of the three divine clans, and came to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, still there? Was it within the Heavenly Sacred Palace?

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao couldn't believe it.

In their incredulous gaze, the phoenix transformed directly into a woman's figure, walking out of the lake.

She walked towards Jiang Yao while calling out softly with tears streaming down her face, "Princess Yao!"

At that moment, Jiang Yao's face was streamed with tears.

At that moment, Ye Chen also knew that this Void Sky True God senior was indeed the phoenix that departed from Divine Phoenix City.

The following day, True Phoenix senior spent the entire time with Jiang Yao, sharing with her the events of the past decade. Through Palace Master Yuan Li, Ye Chen and Liu Qingmei eventually learned a lot about True Phoenix senior, understanding why True Phoenix senior had called the three of them here.

True Phoenix brought Ye Chen here because of the close relationship between Ye Chen and Jiang Yao; she also wanted to see Ye Chen.

And the reason True Phoenix had asked Liu Qingmei to come here was precisely because of the secret techniques related to the Divine Phoenix Clan that Liu Qingmei had displayed!

On the second day, True Phoenix personally inquired, and Liu Qingmei informed him of everything she knew and produced an item given to her by the woman who had taught her the techniques.

Upon seeing this item, True Phoenix immediately confirmed that the woman, who had visited Liu Qingmei's family in the Polar Star Archipelago ten years ago and taught her the techniques, was indeed a member of the Divine Phoenix Clan!

Liu Qingmei said that her aunt had already been injured when she had come to her family; True Phoenix had a premonition that the woman likely suffered the same type of injury as she had when descending from the Minor Spirit Realm to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent—a backlash from the force of the lower realm.

And it was highly probable that this woman was a Void Sky True God!

Thinking that another Void Sky True God from the Divine Phoenix Clan had descended to the lower realm, True Phoenix, Jiang Yao, and Ye Chen all understood that this woman must have come in search of Jiang Yao!

With this in mind, True Phoenix had Palace Master Yuan Li take Liu Qingmei and Jiang Yao, along with a wisp of her own divine spirit, to head directly to the eastern part of the Polar Star Archipelago to personally meet the woman.

No matter the reason for the woman's descent to the lower realm, with Palace Master Yuan Li overseeing Jiang Yao and True Phoenix's divine spirit wisp constantly observing everything—ready to traverse the heavens with a thought and reach there by harnessing her divine spirit—their journey to the Polar Star Archipelago would be safe from danger.

Once they confirmed that the woman had indeed come in search of Jiang Yao, True Phoenix would find a way to heal the woman's injuries and learn about the current situation of the Divine Phoenix Clan from her, making more arrangements for Jiang Yao!

On the third day, unbeknownst to everyone, Palace Master Yuan Li had already taken Jiang Yao and Liu Qingmei toward the Polar Star Archipelago in the eastern part of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Ye Chen did not go to the Polar Star Archipelago because, on the one hand, it was a matter concerning the Divine Phoenix Clan, and he should not get involved before things were certain. On the other hand, it was because Palace Master Yuan Li had discussed another matter with Ye Chen.

That matter was that, in some time, Heavenly Sacred Palace and thirty-two other continents would launch three grand expeditions!

Palace Master Yuan Li emphasized that Jiang Yao had the bloodline of the Divine Phoenix Clan and receiving personal instruction from True Phoenix was naturally the best fit, but it was different for Ye Chen, who could not practice the techniques of the Divine Phoenix Clan.

Therefore, Ye Chen still needed to find his own cultivation opportunity.

The three grand expeditions undertaken jointly by the thirty-three continents are an incredible opportunity and formidable challenge for the most outstanding disciples of each land.

"Amid life and death lies great terror, but also great opportunity."

"These three grand expeditions are to explore regions even we, the most formidable amongst all thirty-three continents including myself, have yet to fully understand, and the danger is immense."

"Precisely because it's immensely dangerous, and precisely because even we, in the late stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm, haven't completely grasped it, the opportunities it holds are the most plentiful!"

Ye Chen recalled Palace Master Yuan Li's words.

Palace Master Yuan Li went on to say to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, if you want to become powerful and reach heights others can't, merely cultivating in the sect and not facing life-and-death trials won't do. Sect cultivation merely lays the foundation; perpetual growth within the sect will render you vulnerable to the slightest storm. Only through genuine life-and-death ordeals can one undergo a transformation in essence."

"The three grand expeditions of the thirty-three united continents are exactly where the most outstanding talents can undergo such a transformation."

Palace Master Yuan Li also said that these three expeditions were entirely distinct from each other.

The three expeditions are: the Void Abyss Expedition, the Elemental Mountains Expedition, and the Ancient Royal Tomb Land Expedition.

By the scale of danger, the Void Abyss Expedition could be classified as "difficult level," the Elemental Mountains Expedition as "dangerous level," while the Ancient Royal Tomb Land Expedition truly belonged to the "ultimate realm level"!

And the more dangerous the place, the greater the opportunity.

At the difficult level of the Void Abyss, the opportunities encountered are random and useful both for practitioners in the Rotating Pill Realm and the Heavenly Saint Realm; meanwhile, the dangerous level of the Elemental Mountains Expedition is specifically suited for those who aim to comprehend the five Void Heavenly principles and allows one to grasp all five principles simultaneously. According to the rules of the thirty-three continents, only practitioners of the Rotating Pill Realm with five apertures and those in the Heavenly Saint Realm may enter.

There, Rotating Pill Realm practitioners could try to cultivate all five Void Heavenly principles to completion simultaneously, striving for ascension to the Heavenly Saint Realm, whereas Heavenly Saint Realm practitioners could complete any unmastered Void Heavenly principles, ultimately reaching full mastery of all five and achieving the strongest power of the five Void Heavenly principles, jointly comprehending the spatial principle!

As for the "ultimate realm level" "Ancient Royal Tomb Land" expedition, it is both the most dangerous and the most enigmatic.

According to the late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts from the topmost realms of the thirty-three continents, including Palace Master Yuan Li, this location is where countless Void Sky True Gods from the Minor Spirit Realm, either on the brink of death or already perished, find their final resting place; the "Ancient Royal Tomb Land" is truly a True God Cemetery!

The True God Cemetery, as one can imagine, is a place of both mystique and value.

This place even has a guardian, a powerful Void Sky True God standing guard outside the cemetery!

This guardian only opens the Ancient Royal Tomb Land expedition at specific times, and there are particular requirements for the number and strength of the people entering!

The True God Cemetery "Ancient Royal Tomb Land" allows only a thousand people to enter at a time, and it requires that all one thousand possess Heavenly Saint Level combat capabilities.
