Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 294: Chapter 261 Sword Inner World

"This is the Divine Artifact, the 'Fallen Sword', a broken Divine Sword that fell from the Upper Realm!"

The words of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder resounded in Ye Chen's ears, echoing over the endless peaks of the mountains.

Ye Chen turned to look over the peaks at the mountains outside, where he could glimpse the gates, palaces, caves, and countless towers of the Tai'a Sword Sect, then turned back to gaze upon the Sky-Supporting Giant Sword.

Ye Chen could never have imagined that such a massive sword, ten thousand meters tall, could be hidden in a valley behind the mountains where the gates of the Tai'a Sword Sect were!

Fallen from the Upper Realm?

Ye Chen was even more astonished by Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's words. The Upper Realm was the Minor Spirit Realm. Could this giant sword have fallen from the Minor Spirit Realm?

Divine Swords... In the Minor Spirit Realm, where the Void Sky True God existed, there indeed were swords of the Divine Artifacts that were even more powerful than Sacred Artifacts!

As Ye Chen was reeling from the shock, Mu Qingqing also spoke out to him, "Ye Chen, this Divine Sword fell from the Upper Realm over three thousand years ago. Back then, countless masters from our Heavenly Sacred Palace specifically came to this back mountain to investigate!

"I heard from my grandfather that this Divine Sword is even stained with Divine Blood. It's very likely that it fell from the Upper Realm due to some divine battle up there, and its broken condition could also be due to that divine battle."

"The terrifying red malevolent aura that coils around the blade, it is said to be the Divine Blood that stained the sword. When the Divine Sword first fell over three thousand years ago, even my grandfather and the others didn't dare get close to it! It's been thousands of years, and that malevolent aura hasn't dissipated yet!"

Mu Qingqing's words gave Ye Chen an even greater shock.

More than three thousand years ago! Divine battle! Divine Blood!

Suddenly, Ye Chen thought of something.

Wasn't it more than three thousand years ago when the Divine Phoenix Clan of the Upper Realm was in the midst of a fierce battle with the other two Ancient Clans, the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan? The Azure Blue Mansion was brought down from the Upper Realm by Heavenly Saint Moya just over three thousand years ago.

Could this Divine Sword be related to the battle with the Divine Phoenix Clan?

Ye Chen hurriedly communicated with his Phoenix Spirit through Divine Sense.

However, the Divine Sense of the Phoenix Spirit couldn't leave the Azure Blue Mansion too far and thus could not detect the aura of that Divine Sword, so the Phoenix Spirit did not know whether the sword was related to the Divine Phoenix Clan.

While Ye Chen was pondering the rumors of the Divine Sword and the battle involving the Divine Phoenix Clan, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder continued to speak as he looked at the Divine Sword.

"The name of this Divine Sword is unknown, as it fell from the Void; we've simply named it the 'Fallen Sword'."

"But, it definitely reaches the quality of a Divine Artifact, even though it is damaged, it is absolutely a Divine Artifact!"

Divine Artifact.

The words of Elder Xiao Supreme Elder made Ye Chen cease his communication with the Phoenix Spirit and attentively listen.

Ye Chen himself possessed a Divine Artifact, one that even Elder Xiao Supreme Elder had just failed to detect, which harbored the Primordial Star Scripture, the "Starlight Tower."

However, the Starlight Tower, left behind by the Zi Ji Star Lord, gave Ye Chen the intuition that this Divine Sword had truly fallen from the Minor Spirit Realm, but even if it were undamaged, it would definitely not surpass the Starlight Tower he possessed.

Ye Chen felt that his Starlight Tower was an existence that surpassed the realms like the Minor Spirit Realm!

Forget about the artifacts of a Void Sky True God, even the artifacts of a much stronger Space-Time God King would probably not be stronger than his Starlight Tower!

However, Ye Chen had only just reached the second level of the Starlight Tower and had only obtained the second chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, so his understanding of the Starlight Tower was still limited; he couldn't draw too much information from it in comparison with this Divine Sword.

Besides the Starlight Tower, Ye Chen had also come into contact with another item related to the Void Sky True God, which was the "Ancient God Tower" in the Ancestral Land Secret Realm that possessed the wonderful Time Flow Rate.

The Ancient God Tower was forged by the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, one of the eight Ancient Clans of the Upper Realm, and a significant figure even among Void Sky True Gods!

Thus, Ye Chen was not too unfamiliar with Divine Artifacts.

While Ye Chen listened intently, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder went on to say, "When this Divine Sword fell all those years ago, the three Palace Masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace..." At this point, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder glanced at Mu Qingqing, "used top-quality Sacred Artifacts to test the Divine Sword, only to find that even such Sacred Artifacts couldn't leave the slightest Sword Mark on its blade!"

"The three Palace Masters had once seen the Void Sky True God in the Upper Realm. They guessed that after its fall, the sword revealed its true form. When Divine Artifacts are forged, their true form is incomparably huge, and they can transform and shrink for use in real combat. However, this true form reveals all the mysteries of a Divine Artifact."

"The true form of this Divine Sword just happens to be a ten thousand meter tall Sky-Supporting Giant Sword!"

"Unfortunately, there is no Void Sky True God on the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, so it's impossible for us to use this Divine Sword. Even the three Palace Masters, with their pinnacle cultivation in the late Heavenly Saint Realm, couldn't move the sword by a hair, so it simply remains here, in the valley behind the mountains of the Tai'a Sword Sect."

Ye Chen nodded in understanding.

Although he didn't know if the Ancient God Tower was a Divine Artifact, it was specifically sent to the thirty-three continents by the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, and since its prohibitions were unlocked, Heavenly Saint Di Kong was able to carry and use it.

But this Divine Sword had obviously fallen by itself. With the prohibitions not being unlocked, it was understandable that the Barbaric Wilderness Continent's mightiest couldn't do anything about it.

"A Divine Sword lies here, yet it cannot be used. It's not just the three Palace Masters, but us cultivators from Tai'a Sword Sect are also very dissatisfied."

"Hence, many Heavenly Saints, especially Sword Cultivator Heavenly Saints, have started to research this Divine Sword."

"Persistence pays off, and as a result, we discovered a great opportunity—that is, this Divine Sword is damaged, and there are gaps on the blade of the Divine Sword!"

"Originally, the aura of divine blood and evil was too strong for us to dare to approach and investigate. But as hundreds and thousands of years passed, the aura on it weakened, and we were able to remain beside the Divine Sword for longer periods of time. Later on, we even successfully entered the damaged part of the Divine Sword blade!"

As he reached this point, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder's gaze also turned towards Ye Chen.

Ye Chen's mind and spirit were stirred—if one could enter the blade of the Divine Sword, that likely had something to do with his upcoming cultivation inside this Divine Sword!

Ye Chen also listened attentively.

Seeing that Ye Chen understood his meaning, Elder Xiao Supreme Elder nodded approvingly, "Once we entered the blade of this Divine Sword, we discovered that it truly was a Divine Artifact, for its blade contained a world of its own!"

"A ten-thousand-meter-tall Divine Sword in its true form. From the outside, it's evident how vast its blade is. But upon entering, we found that the inner space of the blade was even larger than it appeared from the outside, hiding countless Prohibited Formation Arrays."

"These Prohibited Formation Arrays were likely forged by the great power that originally refined this Divine Sword, specifically to enhance the might of the Divine Sword!"

"About a dozen of us Heavenly Saints battled our way up these Prohibited Formation Arrays from below, but in the end, we only managed to challenge thirty-eight of them. The ones above were simply beyond our ability to tackle, even for late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses."

"Over these thousands of years, we have been continuously studying the thirty-eight Prohibited Formation Arrays we could access, and gradually, we have come to understand them more and more deeply."

"These Prohibited Formation Arrays are all marvelous, but one of the most important features is the time flow rate!"

"Only a Void Sky True God who has started to comprehend the Laws of Time would be able to refine it, the time flow rate!"

Time flow rate?

Ye Chen's heart trembled.

He had encountered a change in the time flow rate in the Ancient God Tower, and now within this Divine Sword as well?

He only heard Elder Xiao Supreme Elder continue, "We discovered that once inside the Divine Sword blade, due to the prohibitions, the entire time flow rate changed. If we stayed inside for ten days, only one day would pass outside!"

"The time flow rate inside the Divine Sword is actually ten to one compared to the outside!"

"This revelation made us Heavenly Saints ecstatic. With a ten to one time flow rate, the amount of cultivation we could do inside this Divine Sword would be ten times more than outside!"

Ye Chen smiled to himself.

When he first encountered the time flow rate in the Ancient God Tower, he, like Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and the others, was delighted. However, the time flow rate had its limits, staying too long would cause severe backlash, and he had only stayed there for 540 days, which was actually only 54 days outside.

"I wonder how long one can stay inside this Divine Sword?" Ye Chen thought to himself.

The following words from Elder Xiao Supreme Elder gave Ye Chen his answer, "After discovering the secret of the time flow rate, of course, we wanted to cultivate more within the Divine Sword."

"Eventually, after cultivating for three hundred days, which was thirty days outside, we were ejected out, and the next time we entered, the marvelous effect of the time flow rate had disappeared from us. The Laws of Time are indeed wondrous and extraordinary!"

"Later, we used many disciples to experiment and ultimately found that the time one can spend inside the Divine Sword is related to their realm. Disciples in the True Qi Realm can only stay for ten days, those in the Spirit Sea Realm for thirty days, Rotating Pill Realm disciples for a hundred days, and we Heavenly Saints for three hundred days."

"Ye Chen, as you are in the Spirit Sea Realm, when you enter this Divine Sword to cultivate, you can stay inside for thirty days while only three days will pass outside. This is the first marvelous benefit that the Divine Sword can offer you," Elder Xiao Supreme Elder said to Ye Chen.

At this moment, Mu Qingqing also giggled at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, I've cultivated inside as well. Back then, I stayed for thirty days."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile.

Being able to cultivate for an additional twenty-seven days inside this Divine Sword may not compare to the Ancient God Tower, but it was still not bad.

Ye Chen knew that this Divine Sword wasn't like the Ancient God Tower, which relied on time flow rate for cultivation; the Divine Sword was innately a combat artifact, and the time flow rate was just a subsidiary effect of its combat prohibitions. Having such a benefit was already good enough.

There must be other wonderful uses hidden within so many prohibitions.

Indeed, Elder Xiao then said to Ye Chen, "Besides the time flow rate, the greater function of this Divine Sword lies in those Prohibited Formation Arrays."

"Ye Chen, we Heavenly Saints can enter up to thirty-eight Prohibited Formation Arrays, but with your realm, you can only enter the bottom eight Prohibited Formation Arrays. I will not tell you the functions of the other arrays."

"These eight Prohibited Formation Arrays, there are those that can help you comprehend Sword Intent and Sword Formations, those that can aid you in cultivating True Qi, and even a few related to trials. When you enter the Divine Sword, you will be able to encounter each of these in turn."
