Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 276: Chapter 243 Hidden Calamity

One day, just after Ye Chen had defeated the fifteenth battle spirit of the Divine Phoenix Clan in the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm at the Battle Spirit Hall, he was stepping out of the Azure Blue Mansion to rest when suddenly he heard the sound of chirping birds from outside the courtyard.

Before entering closed-door cultivation, Ye Chen had completely closed the courtyard door and set up a protective prohibition.

If visitors came while the prohibition was in place, they would know not to disturb the master of the courtyard, who was deeply engrossed in cultivation, unless there was an urgent matter.

Only when there was something important enough to notify the master of the courtyard would visitors activate the communication functionality of the protective prohibition.

And this chirping sound was the standard signal for communication used by the Taixuan Sect!

"Who is looking for me?"

"What urgent matter could it be?"

Hearing the sound from the protective prohibition, Ye Chen was slightly startled. He gestured towards the courtyard door, and a bird formed of light, shimmering in green, flew straight towards him.

As the bird approached Ye Chen, it began to speak, "Ye Chen, if you've finished cultivating, remember to come and find me, your master has something important that I need to pass on to you."

The voice belonged to none other than the one who had taught Ye Chen the sword formation, Sister Yu from Snowdrift Peak.

"Is it Sister Yu looking for me?"

"Sister Yu's master is Fairy Jia Luo, my Peak Master from Snowdrift Peak. What important matter could Peak Master Fairy Jia Luo have that she needed Sister Yu to pass on to me?"

The last time Ye Chen had parted ways with Fairy Jia Luo, it was at an ancient tomb. Fairy Jia Luo, along with the five late-stage Rotating Pill Realm experts from Heavenly Wind Kingdom due to the Body Snatching incident involving Heavenly Saint Moya at the ancient tomb, had gone with Heavenly Saint Long Xuan to meet two other Heavenly Saints from the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory.

Ye Chen had been in closed-door cultivation the entire time since then and was unaware of what had transpired at the ancient tomb. He also didn't know whether Fairy Jia Luo had returned to the sect. Now, hearing from Sister Yu that Fairy Jia Luo had something important to tell him, Ye Chen immediately thought that it might relate to the events at the ancient tomb.

"Could it be any news related to the ten Demon Sects?"

A thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

"Anyway, my true cultivation has already ended, and I'm in the phase of summarizing my combat learnings after cultivation. It would be okay to end the retreat early."

"Let's go out and see what the matter is."

With that thought in mind, Ye Chen promptly tidied up his cultivation materials and stood up. With a wave of True Qi from his hand, he lifted the protective prohibition on the courtyard.

Afterward, Ye Chen transformed into a streak of Escaping Light, passing through the courtyard gate and flying towards Sister Yu's living quarters.

...

Ye Chen had been in closed-door cultivation for nearly a month since returning to the sect.

A month of arduous cultivation, combined with the battles against the spirit warriors of the Divine Phoenix Clan in the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, had allowed Ye Chen to fully master the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm. His combat power had undergone a qualitative improvement.

Now, without relying on external forces like the Heavenly Saint Law Bead, and merely with his own fighting abilities, Ye Chen possessed the strength to defeat mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm experts.

In fact, Ye Chen could hold his own even against individuals like the five late-stage Rotating Pill Realm experts from Heavenly Wind Kingdom and characters equivalent to late-stage Rotating Pill Realm like Fairy Jia Luo.

Although he couldn't be certain of overwhelming these late-stage Rotating Pill warriors, Ye Chen would not show any fear in their presence!

With all his techniques unleashed, even defeating these late-stage Rotating Pill experts was not impossible!

Ye Chen could now indisputably be considered among the top echelon within Heavenly Wind Kingdom.

There was a time when he was merely a True Qi first-layer youth from Qingyun Sect, an eighth-rank sect. Now, he had not only joined the sixth-rank Taixuan Sect but had also cultivated to the mid-stage of the Spirit Sea Realm, possessing the absolute strength to rival late-stage Rotating Pill experts!

Ye Chen was no longer someone who could be easily bullied; he had truly become a formidable cultivator!

However, Ye Chen still had a long way to go. Facing the more powerful Heavenly Saint Realm experts, his strength was still far from sufficient.

And beyond the Heavenly Saint Realm were even more formidable levels such as the "Void Sky True God Realm" and the legendary "Space-Time God King Realm" that the seniors of the Divine Phoenix Clan aspired to, not to mention the realm of "Zi Ji Star Lord," which possessed even more power. The distance to these realms was still great for Ye Chen.

But Ye Chen was still young, and the time he had actually spent cultivating would astonish countless cultivators—he had only been at it for a few years.

In just a few years, he had grown to this extent. Given time, reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm and even the Void Sky True God Realm was a significant possibility!

"True Qi Realm, Spirit Sea Realm, Rotating Pill Realm, Heavenly Saint Realm — the four major realms of the Lower Realm."

"Void Sky True God Realm, Space-Time God King Realm, and even the realm of 'Zi Ji Star Lord,' who left behind the Primordial Star Scripture, are still ahead."

"One day, I will strive for higher realms, leave Heavenly Wind Kingdom, leave the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, and even go beyond the Minor Spirit Realm of the Upper Realm!" Ye Chen mused with high spirits.

In such a resolute state of mind, Ye Chen finally arrived outside Sister Yu's courtyard in his form of Escaping Light.

"Ye Chen, have you arrived?"

Long before Ye Chen's Escaping Light streaked across the sky, heading for this small courtyard, Sister Yu had taken notice, and when Ye Chen landed outside the courtyard, Sister Yu directly came out to greet him.

...

In the courtyard.

Ye Chen and Sister Yu sat facing each other.

"Ye Chen, your aura has become even stronger!" Sister Yu looked at Ye Chen, her voice filled with astonishment.

After returning to the sect, Ye Chen had visited Sister Yu, and in just over twenty days, Sister Yu felt that Ye Chen had undergone a new transformation. His aura now even gave her a sense of fear, as if she was facing her master, Fairy Jia Luo!

Ye Chen actually gave her the impression of a Rotating Pill Realm Supreme Expert!

This truly was inconceivable to Sister Yu.

Ye Chen smiled lightly. He had just felt a surge of high spirits, and his mood had been tumultuous, which is why his aura was so overwhelming and uncontained, making it very direct for Sister Yu to sense.

"By the way, Sister Yu, you asked for me, is there something you need?" Ye Chen reined in his aura and asked Sister Yu.

Ye Chen's current level of cultivation had truly reached a stage where "all auras return to one, and combat power is all controlled by the heart." When he released his aura, it could directly form an overwhelming suppressing force, and if he wanted to conceal his aura, he could do so without leaking even a sliver of True Qi, appearing just like an ordinary person.

Even more, if Ye Chen wanted to display any level of strength, such as the True Qi Realm, the early stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, or the later stages of the Spirit Sea Realm, he could achieve this with changes in his aura.

Only a true powerhouse with absolute control over True Qi could accomplish this!

The ordinary Spirit Sea Realm powerhouses with Protective True Qi naturally dissipating could never achieve this extent.

Only after Ye Chen contained his aura did Sister Yu feel the fearful thoughts within her subside somewhat, but the thought of Ye Chen being able to adjust his aura so effortlessly filled her with even greater astonishment.

Sister Yu thought of the important task her master had entrusted to her and quickly suppressed this astonishment. She looked at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, about ten days ago, our master returned."

"At the time, she specifically went to see you, but seeing that you were in seclusion, she did not disturb you. Three days ago, she left the Sect again, heading for Heaven Departure Nation."

Fairy Jia Luo came back ten days ago?

Sister Yu's words made Ye Chen startle. Ten days prior, he was still in the midst of arduous cultivation of True Qi and Martial Skills, completely unaware that Fairy Jia Luo had looked for him.

But if she had returned to the sect, why had she left again three days ago? Had she gone to see Heavenly Saint Long Xuan?

Ye Chen was somewhat perplexed.

At this moment, Sister Yu continued, "When she came back last time, her expression was rather grim, and when she left three days ago, she seemed very hurried. Just yesterday, our master specifically sent me a Sound Transmission Talisman and a letter, asking me to pass them on to you."

As she spoke, Sister Yu took out the Sound Transmission Talisman and the letter.

Ye Chen quickly took them.

From what Sister Yu implied, Fairy Jia Luo's troubled expression and rushed actions likely meant that something important had happened.

Ye Chen placed the Sound Transmission Talisman against his forehead, listening to Fairy Jia Luo's Divine Sense Transmission within, and as he listened on, his expression grew increasingly solemn. By the end, his own face had also turned rather grim.

From Fairy Jia Luo's Sound Transmission Talisman, Ye Chen learned that this matter was indeed related to the ancient tomb and to the ten Demon Sects!

It turned out that after the day Ye Chen parted ways with the six powerhouses and Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, Fairy Jia Luo and the other six powerhouses, along with Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, went to see two other Heavenly Saints from the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory.

At first, letting a Heavenly Saint who had performed Body Snatching escape—whose True Soul Flame had also been extinguished by a cluster—was a sizable issue for the thirteen Southern Territory nations, but still bearable.

However, to be on the safe side, the three Heavenly Saints of the Southern Territory had utilized some hidden measures within the Demon Sects to inquire about Heavenly Saint Moya's movements after returning to the ten Western Wilderness Demon Sects.

As a result, this inquiry greatly shocked and infuriated the three Heavenly Saints.

It turned out that Heavenly Saint Moya indeed had the Law Buddhist Relic of Heavenly Saint Linghua, and whether it was due to the pressure from the powerful Heavenly Saint Long Xuan that made the ten Demon Sects feel threatened, they had directly chosen a group of Rotating Pill late-stage powerhouses with exceptional talents to collectively study the Law Buddhist Relic left by Heavenly Saint Linghua, hoping they would have some insight and attempt to break through to the Heavenly Saint Realm.

At the same time, the four Heavenly Saints of the ten Demon Sects, including Heavenly Saint Moya who had returned, were even conducting a large lecture on cultivation secrets not usually divulged, for those highly-talented Rotating Pill powerhouses!

These actions were still bearable for the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory.

After all, breaking through from the late stages of the Rotating Pill Realm to the Heavenly Saint Realm required at least one of the five Heavenly Void Laws to be cultivated to Great Perfection. This type of cultivation was extremely difficult, necessitating vast innate talent, comprehension, and countless opportunities. Whether the Demon Sects' methods would be effective was still uncertain.

But then, there was another matter that truly angered the three Heavenly Saints of the Southern Territory.

Under the fortunate revelation of one of the Rotating Pill late-stage pawns hidden within the Demon Sects by the Southern Territory, they learned that in addition to studying the Law Relic and conducting large lectures, two Heavenly Saints from the Western Wilderness had actually gone to the Chaotic Sea Area to seek assistance from other Heavenly Saints!

Furthermore, these two Heavenly Saints had even made contact with three other Heavenly Saints who might aid the ten Western Wilderness Demon Sects!

It was heard that these three Chaotic Sea Area Heavenly Saints had all been in seclusion for years; the shortest for six months, and the longest for three to five years, and they were about to emerge from their seclusion.

If these three Heavenly Saints indeed emerged and decided to help the ten Western Wilderness Demon Sects against the thirteen nations of the Southern Territory, the balance between the two sides would undoubtedly be shattered, and war between them would inevitably erupt!
