Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 273: Chapter 240: The Three Sacred Artifacts

The path of martial arts cultivation is costly.

In the True Qi Realm, one needs to spend a large amount of Crimson Gold to purchase cultivation techniques and manuals, as well as pills for cultivation.

In the Spirit Sea Realm, the majority of expenses are even made with Crimson Gold!

After stepping into the Rotating Pill Realm and Heavenly Saint Realm, the costs are even more immense compared to the True Qi Realm and Spirit Sea Realm. Crimson Gold are no longer the regular expenses, and instead, one has to spend Spirit Stones directly.

After Ye Chen entered the Spirit Sea Realm, he entered an ancient tomb and didn't yet realize how enormous the expenses of cultivation could be.

However, through the words of the six powerhouses, Ye Chen already knew what possessing Spirit Stones meant.

Having obtained so many premium Spirit Stones left by Heavenly Saint Moya, Ye Chen no longer had to worry about the costs of cultivation. His current wealth was already enough to rival that of many Heavenly Saints!

These premium Spirit Stones amazed even the six Rotating Pill powerhouses!

These premium Spirit Stones were enough to support Ye Chen's cultivation all the way to the Heavenly Saint Realm!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After tallying up these premium Spirit Stones, Ye Chen's mind stirred, and he placed all the Spirit Stones into the Heaven Spirit Ring.

Then, Ye Chen turned his attention to the other items.

After counting the Spirit Stones, the bronze giant coffin was now half empty. The first thing that caught Ye Chen's eye was the seven Sacred Artifacts placed together.

Back when Ye Chen battled the Eight Great Demon Towers, the Sacred Artifacts used by them, such as the Void Great Treasure Cover and the Eight Flames Fan, had indeed tempted Ye Chen.

Latter, they were all taken by Heavenly Saint Moya, and Ye Chen felt it was a pity.

But now, seeing these seven Sacred Artifacts, Ye Chen's regrets were instantly swept away!

These seven Sacred Artifacts, were far more precious than the Void Great Treasure Cover and the Eight Flames Fan.

Ye Chen had previously obliterated a soul fragment of Heavenly Saint Moya, and he already knew the methods to refine these Sacred Artifacts.

After refining each of them, aside from some artifacts that weren't suitable for him or were specifically for the use of the Demon Sects, such as the "Forbidden Blood Demon Banner" which required absorbing the blood and qi of living beings to use, Ye Chen put them away. Among the seven Sacred Artifacts, there were three that particularly surprised him!

The first Sacred Artifact was a flying boat.

After refining the Formation Spirit Patterns inscribed on the flying boat, Ye Chen learned that this boat was called the "Heavenly Origin Boat."

The Heavenly Origin Boat, a Sacred Artifact flying boat, had an extremely fast flight speed, able to travel over ten thousand miles in two hours and over a hundred thousand miles in a day!

Ye Chen knew that many Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses would use flying boats to travel because relying on their own flight consumed a great deal of True Qi. If True Qi was overconsumed and one suddenly encountered combat, there might not be enough time to recover True Qi, which could lead to grave danger.

Other means of flight, such as Flying Great Demons, could be used by Spirit Sea Realm cultivators, but the speed was not sufficient for the Rotating Pill Realm. Flying Demon Kings were difficult to capture. Compared to these, flying boats were both comfortable and didn't consume one's True Qi, making them the most commonly used.

However, lower-tier flying boats needed to consume Spirit Stones, relying on the True Qi supplied by Spirit Stones to propel the boat.

This "Heavenly Origin Boat," being a Sacred Artifact level flying boat, did not need to consume Spirit Stones for flight. The unique Formation Spirit Patterns on the boat could connect with the Heaven and Earth True Qi, transforming it into an unending source of energy, allowing the boat to fly at extreme speeds.

Just the Formation Spirit Patterns inscribed on the boat alone were of the level of Heavenly Saints. The complexity of the spirit patterns was even beyond that of Heaven Rank Cultivation Techniques, almost on par with Saint Grade Techniques, and even powerhouses at the Rotating Pill Realm would find it difficult to completely comprehend!

The Heavenly Origin Boat, not only had an extremely fast flight speed and did not consume Spirit Stones for flight, but it also had a tremendous defensive ability.

This Sacred Artifact flying boat could even resist attacks from anyone below the Heavenly Saint Realm, meaning that if a Rotating Pill Realm powerhouse were to attack the boat, those inside need not worry, as the Rotating Pill Realm powerhouses couldn't do anything to the Sacred Artifact flying boat.

This was the might of a Sacred Artifact flying boat!

After refining this "Heavenly Origin Boat," Ye Chen was full of admiration for its wondrous uses.

This boat would likely become an important means of travel for him in the future.

This was the first Sacred Artifact that greatly surprised Ye Chen.

The second Sacred Artifact was a painting called the "Eight Extremes Map!"

This Eight Extremes Map was a space Sacred Artifact containing eight extreme cultivation cave dwellings: "Mountain Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Water Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Fire Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Wind Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Thunder Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Lightning Extreme Cave Dwelling," "Polar Cave Dwelling," and "Heaven Extreme Cave Dwelling."

After refining this "Eight Extremes Map," Ye Chen discovered that the Eight Flames Fan used previously by the Python Demon Tower was born from one of the eight cave dwellings within this map.

The Eight Extremes Map, with its eight cave dwellings, provided eight different cultivation environments, each with great benefits for cultivation!

Ye Chen even entered the eight cave dwellings to experience them before flying out from the "Eight Extremes Map" again to look at the third Sacred Artifact.

The third Sacred Artifact was a small mirror.

But when Ye Chen refined this mirror, he was most pleasantly surprised.

This mirror turned out to be an incredibly powerful attacking Sacred Artifact, even more formidable than the Eight Flames Fan!

This mirror was called the "Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror"!

According to the "Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror," it was a Miraculous Treasure of a Sect in the Minor Spirit Realm famous for equipment refinement. The mirror contained an extraordinary attacking formation.

This mirror can absorb the power of the five great Heavenly Void Laws, and it can also absorb energy corresponding to the levels of those five great Heavenly Void Laws, such as the power of True Fire, the power of True Water, and the power of True Thunder!

After these powers are absorbed by the Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror, they are converted by the attack formation within the mirror and can be directly projected as formidable combat puppets.

The stronger the energy absorbed by the mirror, the greater the power of the projected combat puppets, with the mightiest of them even reaching the level of Heavenly Saint power!

Ye Chen gave it a try and found that the residual power within the Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror was insufficient, being only around ten percent, but when he used it, he actually instantaneously projected five combat puppets at the mid stage of the Rotating Pill Realm from the "Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror"!

Moreover, these five mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm combat puppets were completely at Ye Chen's command, and when he wasn't using them, they could even revert back to power and fly into the "Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror"!

With this Attack Sacred Artifact, Ye Chen was as if he had a group of good helpers. If he could let the "Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror" absorb enough power, this Sacred Artifact could even be equivalent to a continuous attack with the power of a Heavenly Saint!

The mere acquisition of this treasure made Ye Chen feel that the expended Heavenly Saint Law Beads were utterly worthwhile!

Three miraculous treasures.

The Heavenly Origin Boat, the Eight Extremes Map, the Holy Light Heavenly Spirit Mirror!

Ye Chen collected these three Sacred Artifacts with great satisfaction.

The Secret Treasures specifically kept in the Life Origin Coffin by Heavenly Saint Moya were really good stuff, even more powerful and precious than the Sacred Artifacts he had sent out to the Eight Great Demon Towers!

After collecting the most conspicuous treasures such as the premium Spirit Stones and Sacred Artifacts, Ye Chen then turned his attention to the last few items in the Life Origin Coffin.

The last few items included many Cultivation Manuals.

However, after flipping through them, Ye Chen found that the vast majority of the manuals were of the Demon Sects' methods of cultivation, which he glanced over just to understand some of their techniques without any intention of actually practicing them.

Among them, there was one Manual that caught Ye Chen's attention.

This Manual, entitled "Forbidden Divine Tome," was a Manual for cultivating the Divine Soul. Ye Chen read through it and discovered that even the techniques used by Heavenly Saint Moya to create three Soul Fragments were learned from this "Forbidden Divine Tome."

Besides, this "Forbidden Divine Tome," apart from the methods of Soul Fragmentation, contained many other Divine Soul attack methods.

After a brief perusal, Ye Chen set this Manual apart from the others and saved it specially, planning to search for suitable methods of Divine Soul cultivation from this "Forbidden Divine Tome" once he had finished cultivating his current techniques.

Beyond the Manuals, there were also some miscellaneous items left in the Life Origin Coffin, such as clothes and talismans, which Ye Chen sorted through. The useless items, such as clothes, he discarded outright, while useful items like talismans were all stored in the Ethereal Spirit Ring of his storage ring.

In the end, there was one item that Ye Chen also didn't understand the use of.

It was a wooden token bereft of any Formation Spirit Patterns, bearing only the character "Forbidden" inscribed on it.

When Ye Chen sent his Divine Sense into the token, he found nothing unusual, nor did infusing True Qi yield any effect. After experimenting with various methods, the token seemed to be nothing more than an ordinary object without exhibiting any anomalies.

Even within the Life Origin Coffin, there was no record regarding this wooden token. Ye Chen felt that even Heavenly Saint Moya probably didn't understand what this token was all about.

Not understanding its purpose, Ye Chen stored the wooden token in the Heaven Spirit Ring.

After checking all the items within the Life Origin Coffin, Ye Chen used the controlling spells outside the coffin to directly shrink the coffin back to its small size and collected it.

This inventory check of the spoils of war was thus completely finished.

Not counting the useless or uncomprehended items, just the hundreds of premium Spirit Stones, the three Sacred Artifacts, and the "Forbidden Divine Tome"—a Manual for cultivating the Divine Soul, which Ye Chen had never encountered before—made him feel the gains were tremendously great!

This was the wealth of a Heavenly Saint, the belongings of a Heavenly Saint!

And now, it all belonged to him.

"Heavenly Saints indeed have access to a higher level," he mused.

"Many of these items were obtained by Moya from the Minor Spirit Realm originally, and there is much that I have never even seen before!"

"My horizons are still too narrow now, and my strength is still too weak. I haven't even left the Heavenly Wind Kingdom yet!"

"Time to start cultivating. Going to the central region to participate in the Sword Fighting Tournament will be a great opportunity for me to broaden my knowledge!"

After thoroughly sorting out external matters, Ye Chen began to truly examine himself.

"I've now entered the second chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, 'Primordial Chapter', and have obtained the Great Divine Powers of the Five Great Divine Beasts' Aspects. To utilize these Great Divine Powers, I must call upon Divine Blood using Primordial True Qi."

"Regrettably, my Primordial True Qi is still only at the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, allowing only a tenth of the Divine Blood's power to be utilized."

"To enhance the might of the Five Aspects, I must cultivate the Primordial True Qi even further, striving to invoke more of the Divine Blood's power!"

"At present, I've reached the peak of the early stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. This time, I'll attempt to break through to the middle stage of the Spirit Sea Realm!"

"Beyond Internal Skills, my External Martial Skills, whether it's the Sword Formation or the Nine Revolutions Body Spin, also need further cultivation."

After considering his goals for seclusion and cultivation, Ye Chen completely sealed the courtyard gate and placed protective prohibitions.

Then, he directly entered the "Polar Cave Mansion" inside the newly acquired Sacred Artifact "Eight Extremes Map" to commence his seclusion!
