Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen felt neither remorse nor excitement about the deaths of Ao Lei and those four late-stage Heavenly Saints.

The world of Martial Arts was fraught with danger.

Often, it was a matter of kill or be killed.

Especially when it came to contention over treasures, secret lands, and opportunities, countless skirmishes ensued.

If it hadn't been for the help of Ye Chen's nine Frozen Guardians, he might have been the one to die instead of Ao Lei.

Naturally, Ye Chen felt no pity for Ao Lei.

People like Ao Lei sought to harm others first, and their deaths were not regrettable.

Powerful ancient clans such as the Divine Phoenix Clan faced annihilation due to the Phoenix Divine Blood and the Nirvana Pool—two treasures that provoked disaster.

Numerous Void Sky True Gods fell during the Great War between the three clans.

Those deaths truly evoked sighs.

At this moment, faced with the deaths of Ao Lei and the four Heavenly Saints and recalling the casualties of the war between the three divine clans, Ye Chen had only one realization: he needed to be even more cautious in his Martial Arts cultivation while also striving to become stronger.

After recalling the four Frozen Guardians, Bing Shisi, Bing Shiwu, Bing Shiba, and Bing Shijiu, back into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant, Ye Chen was the only one left in the vast clearing amidst the mountains.

At this time, Ye Chen did not rush to leave but instead sat down cross-legged on the flat ground, preparing to refine the "Purple Mist True Garment."

Back in the Heavenly Sacred Tomb, faced with the soul-possession attempt by the Heavenly Saint Mo Ya, Ye Chen was protected from the soul attack thanks to the soul defense Sacred Artifact "Tianga Yuan Ye" given to him by Phoenix Spirit.

Tianga Yuan Ye was an incredibly powerful Divine Artifact of the Divine Phoenix Clan that countered soul attacks.

Ye Chen already possessed a secret soul defense artifact, but he had yet to obtain one for True Qi defense.

Now, the "Purple Mist True Garment" was not only a True Qi defense artifact but also of Divine Artifact grade. Furthermore, it would be greatly useful for venturing into the "Divine Treasure Cave," so Ye Chen naturally wanted to refine it for his own use right away.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, with a thought from Ye Chen, the true form of the Purple Mist True Garment—a purple droplet—flew directly out from the Ice Snow Jade Pendant and hovered in front of Ye Chen.

Following the secret method of artifact refinement he searched from Ao Lei's memories, Ye Chen began to officially refine the treasure.

As Ye Chen cast a technique toward the purple droplet of the Purple Mist True Garment in mid-air, the entire droplet suddenly pulsated and began to expand and enlarge as if boiling, eventually turning into strands of hazy purple mist that enveloped his entire body.

At that moment, a drop of blood flew out from Ye Chen's body, and a wisp of his divine sense also directly entered the purple mist.

What followed was the process of refining and recognizing the Purple Mist True Garment as its master.

About the duration of one cup of tea later, the Purple Mist True Garment was finally fully refined and recognized its master. By then, the hazy purple mist was completely clinging to the outer layer of Ye Chen's clothes, even faintly wrapping around his entire body.

Furthermore, with a thought from Ye Chen, the purple mist could completely disappear from sight, becoming invisible to others.

Only when the Purple Mist True Garment was defending against an attack would this purple mist garment's silhouette be revealed.

Having truly applied the Purple Mist True Garment to his clothing, Ye Chen felt that this defensive Divine Artifact was astonishingly without the slightest burden, as though a faint layer of air was encompassing his body.

Marvelous.

This was the wonder of a Divine Artifact.

Powerful defense, yet as if it were nothing at all.

After refining the Purple Mist True Garment, Ye Chen then took out the storage artifacts of Ao Xuan and Ao Ming, given to him by the four late-stage Heavenly Saints, including Ao Lei. He meticulously sorted through the treasures within and, like the treasures obtained from Ao Lei, kept them all in the Ice Snow Jade Pendant.

After that, Ye Chen stood up, and with a movement of his body, he shot into the void and left the mountainous area.

…

In the days that followed, Ye Chen continued to journey from the First Mountain to the deeper parts of the Five Elements Mountain—the Second Mountain.

During this period, Ye Chen was attacked by the Five Elements Phantom Beasts more than a dozen times.

Ye Chen easily killed those Five Elements Phantom Beasts that were below the late-stage Heavenly Saint level by deploying his powerful techniques, and when encountering those Five Elements Phantom Beasts of the late-stage Heavenly Saint level that were unstoppable, the nine Frozen Guardians would take action and annihilate them.

After three days, Ye Chen had remained safe and sound.

Ye Chen traveled swiftly, not bothering to pick his path, so he encountered many formidable phantom beasts, especially three of the Heavenly Saint late-stage Five Elements Phantom Beasts.

If others had encountered these creatures, many would struggle to deal with them, and it would be very troublesome, with quite a few people even facing life-threatening danger.

As Ye Chen made his way towards the Second Mountain, over two thousand adventurers were also continuously heading towards the same destination.

Many late-stage Heavenly Saints who could fly at incredible speeds had already entered the Second Mountain, while quite a few were still carefully advancing within the First Mountain.

Although many were extremely cautious, the number of fallen adventurers was not insignificant.

After all, this was the Five Elements Mountain, known as one of the three extremely dangerous areas for adventurers. Even the relatively safest First Mountain was filled with crises.

At the foot of the First Mountain, the bodies of two mid-stage Heavenly Saints lay on the ground, and after their deaths, four mid-stage Heavenly Saint strength fire lions roared away.

At the peak of the First Mountain, a late-stage Heavenly Saint faced a giant green snake thousands of feet long with a face ashen as death, but the giant snake showed no concern for the Heavenly Saint's expression, bursting forth and wrapping the entire being within its massive body...

Of course, where there were falls, there were also gains.

At a certain place on the First Mountain's waist, seven Duandan late-stage powerhouses gazed at eighteen golden fruits with surprise, exclaiming, "This... this is a top-grade Sacred Fruit, the 'Golden Beard Visage Fruit'! My goodness, one 'Golden Beard Visage Fruit' can sell for hundreds of top-grade spirit stones. We never expected to stumble upon this..."

At another location on the waist of the First Mountain, eight early-stage Heavenly Saints were emerging from a black cave, with faces full of excitement, looking at the ancient-colored weapons in their hands that emanated a powerful sacred light, observing them closely...

Battles! Conflicts! Deaths! Finds!

This was what constantly happened in the land of adventure.

On the fourth day since Ye Chen had entered the First Mountain, according to the map, he was extremely close to the empty space of the Heavenly Moat between the First and the Second Mountain. Two more days of travel should bring him to that place, allowing him to move onto the Second Mountain.

On this day, as Ye Chen was flying along the massive waist of the First Mountain, he suddenly heard faint sounds of battle coming from ahead.

During these days of travel, Ye Chen had encountered many adventurers.

To avoid trouble, Ye Chen immediately unleashed his formidable fighting strength, and thus very few warriors dared to provoke him. Only two groups of warriors tried to stop Ye Chen, wanting to search him for treasures he might have found. As a result, these two groups were severely taught a lesson by Ye Chen.

At this moment, noticing the sound of battle ahead, Ye Chen's divine consciousness swept forward to investigate.

If it was nothing serious, Ye Chen intended to simply breeze past those engaged in the fight and continue flying forward.

However, when Ye Chen's divine consciousness swept over, he let out a light exclamatory sound for among the fighting crowd there were actually people from the Heavenly Sacred Palace of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

In a depression ahead in the mountain, five mid-stage Heavenly Saints had surrounded eight early-stage Heavenly Saints. Among those eight early-stage warriors, two were wearing the uniforms of the Heavenly Saint Mountain of the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Seeing the eight early-stage Heavenly Saints clearly at a disadvantage, with the five mid-stage saints repeatedly making lethal moves, had it not been for three among the eight early-stage saints possessing decent Divine Artifacts and combat strength not weaker than the mid-stage Heavenly Saints, they probably would have already died.

Seeing people from the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Ye Chen, without any hesitation, shot forward in an instant and in the blink of an eye he arrived above the mountain hollow where the crowd was fighting.

Ye Chen's sudden intrusion startled all the Heavenly Saints engaged in battle.

As Ye Chen approached, these Heavenly Saints sensed the arrival of a Duandan early-stage youth. A Duandan early-stage strength was far from comparably to theirs.

They had originally thought that this early-stage Duandan would simply avoid the battlefield. However, he had decided to barge right into the fray.

When the two mid-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouses clearly saw the face of the Duandan early-stage youth, their expressions changed immediately.

These two recognized Ye Chen and had also heard about the time Ye Chen had called upon a late-stage Heavenly Saint level helper during his great battle with Huo Mei'er.

Now seeing that the arriving Duandan youth was none other than Ye Chen, they dared not underestimate him, and their expressions changed in an instant.

Ye Chen had a late-stage Heavenly Saint level helper, and if he decided to intervene and snatch the treasures they were eyeing, they would be in big trouble this time!

These two mid-stage Heavenly Saints quickly communicated with the other three mid-stage saints, discussing Ye Chen's abilities.

At this time, when the two early-stage Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain saw Ye Chen, they immediately cried out in excitement, "Ye Chen, we are Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain. We ask for your help to escape this deadly encirclement."

Ye Chen landed directly in front of the two Heavenly Saints and nodded, "My friends, what's going on?"
