Primordial Star Scripture

At the moment the tip of the law essence clouds touched the space above Ye Chen's head, he, who was seated in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a pinch of his hand, a Rotating Pill instantly emerged from the sea of qi within him, appearing above his head.

This Rotating Pill was none other than the Five Apertures Rotating Pill that Ye Chen had cultivated when he first stepped into the Rotating Pill Realm!

As soon as the Five Apertures Rotating Pill appeared above his head, the vast amount of law essence clouds, as if finding an outlet, crazily poured into the Five Apertures Rotating Pill.

Once the law essence clouds poured into the Five Apertures Rotating Pill, the five Divine Pill Law Patterns on it began to ripple in circles, and as time passed, even the Five Apertures Rotating Pill itself began to swell and expand.

However, looking into Ye Chen's sea of qi, one would be shocked to find.

Inside Ye Chen's sea of qi, there were another three hundred and seventy-one Five Apertures Rotating Pills, which flew into the void of the sea of qi. Like the Rotating Pill above Ye Chen's head, they too had the Divine Pill Law Patterns rippling with light, and the pills themselves were also swelling and expanding!

These three hundred and seventy-two Five Apertures Rotating Pills of Ye Chen were all identical Rotating Pills cultivated by practicing the "Taiyuan Divine Pill."

They were undergoing identical transformations even as he was breaking through his realm!

Seeing the vast law essence clouds pouring into the Five Apertures Rotating Pill above Ye Chen's head, many martial artists meditating beneath the eighteen ancient steles couldn't help but gather around Ye Chen.

The sight of such a celestial breakthrough shocked these martial artists.

They could not have imagined that the breakthrough of a junior martial artist in the early stages of the Rotating Pill Realm could attract such a massive scale of Five Great Heavens law essence clouds!

If not for Bing Shiyi, Bing Shiba, and Bing Shijiu blocking, this kind of phenomenon might even shock the martial artists enough to directly disturb Ye Chen, who was in the middle of his breakthrough!

Thankfully, there were three Icebound Guardians upholding the law.

During Ye Chen's breakthrough, the three Icebound Guardians had already prevented anyone from approaching within a five-yard radius of Ye Chen's body.

All the startled martial artists stood beyond the five-yard radius of Ye Chen's body, watching his incredible breakthrough unfold!

Pouring in.

The vast Five Great Heavens breakthrough clouds poured into Ye Chen's Five Apertures Rotating Pill.

Transformation!

The one Rotating Pill above Ye Chen's head, along with the three hundred and seventy-one inside him, and even the five Divine Pill Law Patterns on them, were all undergoing transformation.

This state lasted for a full two days!

After practicing for more than twenty-seven days under the ninth ancient stele, the vast law essence clouds that spanned eight thousand zhang in radius had finally all been absorbed into Ye Chen's Rotating Pill!

The moment all the law essence clouds were completely absorbed, the Five Apertures Rotating Pill above Ye Chen's head, which had expanded to twice its original size, flashed rapidly three times before once again thunderously flying back into Ye Chen's sea of qi.

Law essence absorbed! Rotating Pill triple flash!

This was unmistakably the sign of advancing to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm!

Mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm.

Since breaking through to the Rotating Pill Realm at the sword-fighting conference in Immeasurable Mountain, after countless days of cultivation, and even with the accumulation of three years' worth of time in the sub-temple of the Icebound Temple, Ye Chen had finally stepped firmly into the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm at the Third Mountain of the Five Elements Mountain!

...

Five days later.

A figure was crossing the Void Rift between the Third and Fourth Mountain, heading deeper into the Fourth Mountain.

This figure was none other than Ye Chen, who had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm five days ago!

In flight, Ye Chen looked into the Ice Snow Jade Pendant that housed the narrow iron box containing the "Treasure Cave Key" and sighed.

"Originally, I was still considering whether to go to the Divine Heritage Cave in the Fourth and Fifth Mountains. Now, I have no choice but to go."

Five days ago, when Ye Chen broke through to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, a tremendous disturbance shook the ground beneath the eighteen Ancient Steles as he emerged from his breakthrough state.

Countless martial artists, including the Skyscraper Palace Master, Elder Minghua, and the leading late-stage Heavenly Saint of the Jiumang Continent, all flocked to congratulate Ye Chen on his successful breakthrough and inquired how he could absorb such an immense amount of Void Laws.

Of course, Ye Chen would not reveal the matter of the "Taiyuan Divine Pill" he had been cultivating. He merely stated that his breakthrough was related to the cultivation method and divine techniques he practiced.

When it came to divine techniques, the powerful beings nodded in shock and understanding.

Afterward, Ye Chen continued to meditate under the ninth Ancient Stele. According to his plan, although he had cultivated to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, it was far from sufficient. He, of course, wanted to seize the rare opportunity to comprehend at the Five Elements Divine Temple and advance towards the late-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm!

To advance from the mid-stage to the late-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, one has to elevate the comprehension of the five major Void Laws from minor to major accomplishment.

This process was naturally more difficult and time-consuming than breaking through from the early to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm.

In the past few days, Ye Chen had been smoothly absorbing and comprehending, but on the third day after his breakthrough to the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, he suddenly felt a sense of restlessness in his mind and spirit.

No matter how he tried to meditate and comprehend, he could not attain any realization!

This restlessness made it impossible for Ye Chen to continue his cultivation.

And the source of this condition was undoubtedly related to the "Treasure Cave Key" that Ye Chen kept inside the Ice Snow Jade Pendant!

Ye Chen discovered that his restlessness coincided with the inexplicable trembling of the "Treasure Cave Key" encased in the long and narrow iron box.

When Ye Chen submerged his divine consciousness into the mysterious divine pattern carved on the "Treasure Cave Key," he suddenly discovered the reason for the key's trembling—it was the fabled "Divine Heritage Cave," rumored to hold countless divine artifacts and wondrous treasures, opening once every hundred years, had finally opened again!

Ye Chen had not expected that the opening of the "Divine Heritage Cave" would cause such a commotion by the "Treasure Cave Key," let alone disrupt his cultivation so significantly.

Even though it might be sensible to discard the Treasure Cave Key and continue cultivating, Ye Chen found it hard to let go.

Ultimately, after pondering for a while, Ye Chen made a decision—to take a look at the "Divine Heritage Cave".

With his recent successful breakthrough, along with nine Icebound Guardians and two True God Talismans in his possession, and having obtained the defensive divine artifact, the "Purple Mist True Garment" from Ao Lei, Ye Chen had some confidence in venturing into the Divine Heritage Vault.

After informing the Skyscraper Palace Master that he had matters to attend to and exchanging a few words with the other powerful beings, Ye Chen led the nine Icebound Guardians away from the "Five Elements Divine Temple" of the Third Mountain, following the guidance of the "Treasure Cave Key," and headed towards the "Divine Heritage Cave" located between the Fourth and Fifth Mountains.

...

As Ye Chen flew across the Void Rift between the Third and Fourth Mountains, heading deeper into the Fourth Mountain,

At a certain location on the summit of the Fourth Mountain, Jin Lieyang, the Holy Son of the Xuanjin Continent, stood alone at the mountain peak.

The two other Holy Sons who had been following Jin Lieyang were nowhere to be seen and were not by his side.

Atop the mountain summit, Jin Lieyang gazed in the direction of the Void Rift between the Fourth and Fifth Mountains, while touching a long, narrow iron box on his body.

The item within this iron box turned out to also be a "Treasure Cave Key"!

"The day for the 'Divine Heritage Cave' to open has finally arrived. In a few more days, it will be time to formally venture into the vault," he mused.

"After thirty-three cycles, this time, after three thousand three hundred years, the 'Divine Heritage Cave' has eventually rotated to the moment when the deepest 'Ice-Fire Divine Vault' opens!"

"I must not miss this opportunity!"

As Jin Lieyang thought to himself, his eyes shone with an uncontrollable excitement and an inexplicable longing!n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

As Jin Lieyang's eyes sparkled with anticipation, two sinister voices suddenly emerged: "Lieyang, is that thing you mentioned truly inside this Divine Heritage Cave?"

"We've expended much effort descending to this realm and fully recovering. If there are no significant gains, it could delay our battle with the Beiming Clan's Qingyuan True God!"

Hearing these two voices, Jin Lieyang's eyes flashed with a flicker of light, and he said respectfully towards the source of the voices, "Elders, the information I got is from a secret text of the sacred land in my clan; it surely won't be wrong. That item is definitely inside, but over the years, no one has been able to obtain it. We will need the elders' divine might when the time comes."

Encouraged by Jin Lieyang's confident tone, the two voices also became somewhat excited: "No problem. This time, the two of us have even brought a divine item from our clan. As long as that thing truly exists, we are certain we can get our hands on it!"
