Primordial Star Scripture

Chapter 343: Chapter 308: Undercurrents Surge

In the Void Heaven Sword Valley.

Ye Chen raised his head and looked at the Five Apertures Rotating Pill bathing in the divine light, feeling an overwhelming sense of pride surging in his chest.

The Rotating Pill Realm.

After countless days and nights of arduous cultivation, he had finally broken through the True Qi Realm and the Spirit Sea Realm, stepping successfully into the Rotating Pill Realm!

And what's more, he had formed the most perfect Five Apertures Rotating Pill!

The people outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley could sense the Divine Marvel of the Five Apertures Rotating Pill, but they had no idea how powerful this pill actually was.

As the master of the Five Apertures Rotating Pill, Ye Chen, of course, knew what the formation of this pill represented.

This was a Rotating Pill formed by refining countless strands of Primordial True Liquid, a pill that contained the Five Great Divine Bloods, and even had a greater number of Heavenly Void Laws integrated into it than anyone else!

Even the last rays of Divine Light that shone on the pill contained countless spiritual patterns attained from contemplating the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws!

Ye Chen looked at his Rotating Pill and took a deep breath.

"With the formation of the Rotating Pill Realm, my True Qi and strength have been greatly improved once again."

"What's more precious is that after stepping into the Rotating Pill Realm, I can officially begin to cultivate the third chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, 'Taiyuan Chapter,' and comprehend the Five Great Heavenly Void Laws!"

"Everything is a new beginning, the start of striving towards even greater strength!"

Ye Chen, with myriad thoughts flickering in his mind, stood up from the void.

He looked towards the Five Apertures Rotating Pill in the heavens with his eyes, and as the rotating spiritual pattern on his forehead flickered, the Five Apertures Rotating Pill bathed in Divine Light shot towards him, entering his body.

In the end, the Rotating Pill entered the Qi Sea World within Ye Chen, floating amidst the misty Starry Fog.

Having taken the Rotating Pill into his body, Ye Chen glanced one more time at the Void Heaven Sword Valley and then, under the gaze of countless eyes, was transported outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley!

"Ye Chen!"

"Ye Chen!"

As soon as Ye Chen was teleported outside the Void Heaven Sword Valley, Jiang Yao, Mu Qingqing, and others all rushed over to him.

Even Elder Xiao Supreme Elder smiled gently, took a step into the void, and appeared beside Ye Chen.

...

Several days later.

Following the conclusion of the "Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament" and the "Hidden Dragon List competition," countless martial artists left Immeasurable Mountain, heading back to their respective territories and kingdoms.

Immeasurable Mountain returned to its quiet state.

However, as these martial artists returned to their territories and the news of the two great events at Immeasurable Mountain spread, discussions erupted across countless regions in the Middle Realm.

The focal point of these discussions was Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who ranked first and second in the Sword Fighting Tournament at the Void Heaven Sword Valley.

Their fame even surpassed those of the top three from the Hidden Dragon List competition.

Not only had both of them been invited by the Heavenly Sacred Palace to become disciples before the two events, but under numerous watchful eyes, they had both achieved the most perfect Five Apertures Rotating Pill!

This was also because, even Xiao Chen, who reigned supreme in the Hidden Dragon List competition with an unbeatable Rotating Pill, was extremely respectful and admiring of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao in full view of the crowd!

On a Flying Boat heading to the Southern Territory, there were hundreds of martial artists rushing back to the Southern Territory from Immeasurable Mountain.

Among them were the three Shi brothers and Daoist Wine Sword.

At that moment, these hundreds of martial artists were toasting with their cups, drinking the strong liquor with much enjoyment.

All the Southern Territory martial artists' faces were brimming with smiles.

"That felt so good!"

"I didn't expect Brother Ye Chen to be so powerful, not only seizing first place in the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament but even achieving the Five Apertures Rotating Pill! This time, the two major events at Immeasurable Mountain truly reclaimed our honor for the Southern Territory!"

Shi Tianhe took a big gulp of wine and said with a loud laugh.

"Right, did you notice? When Brother Ye Chen emerged from the Void Heaven Sword Valley, many Heavenly Saints were very enthusiastic towards him, clearly seeking to foster a relationship with Brother Ye Chen," Shi Tianjiang next to Shi Tianhe couldn't help but nod in agreement.

"Of course, when Brother Ye Chen was in the Spirit Sea Realm, he had already dominated the Supreme Rotating Pill. Now as a true Five Apertures Rotating Pill powerhouse, his future achievements are boundless, with the possibility of surpassing those Heavenly Saints. They naturally want to be on good terms with Brother Ye Chen!"

"Even Xiao Chen, ranked first in the Hidden Dragon List competition, was extremely courteous to Brother Ye Chen, directly acknowledging that Brother Ye Chen's strength was greater than his own."

"I bet Brother Ye Chen's current strength would definitely allow him to battle with early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts!"

Shi Tianhai's eyes also sparkled with excitement.

The ability to fight against early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, although not necessarily able to defeat them, indicated that Ye Chen had stepped into the Heavenly Saint level.

After all, Ye Chen was only in the Rotating Pill Realm and barely sixteen years old by bone age. With such achievements at this age, his future potential was limitless!

Given time, when Ye Chen further cultivates and truly becomes capable of overpowering early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, it will surely be no empty talk!

Of course, this made the three Shi brothers extremely excited.

It also filled countless Southern Territory martial artists with excitement!

The reason these Southern Territory martial artists were so jubilant on their return from Immeasurable Mountain, indulging in such joyful drinking, was due to this cause.

After all, with the longstanding blood feud between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, especially as a great battle with the Western Wilderness loomed, many Southern Territory martial artists felt a sense of gloom on their minds.

Now that the Southern Territory had a young genius like Ye Chen, coupled with the already mighty Heavenly Saint Long Xuan of the Southern Territory, many warriors were no longer afraid of the impending war. Many knew that as Ye Chen grew stronger, the Southern Territory would truly be able to completely subjugate the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness!

"It's not just Ye Chen."

In the crowd, Daoist Wine Sword also had a face full of smiles, "Jiang Yao as well."

"You haven't seen it, but when Jiang Yao finished her cultivation and achieved the Five Apertures Rotating Pill, many early Heavenly Saint Realm experts had a drastic change of face, seemingly harboring a sense of fear."

"That indicates that Jiang Yao's true strength is very likely not the slightest bit weaker than Ye Chen, who has completed his realm breakthrough. She might even be capable of competing with early Heavenly Saint Realm experts!"

"One Ye Chen, and then there's Jiang Yao."

"This pair of Heaven's Chosen truly brings us great hope in the Southern Territory!"

Daoist Wine Sword sighed with emotion, as if recalling the scene when he first met Ye Chen and Jiang Yao at the Taixuan Sect.

...

The warriors from the Southern Territory were extremely excited and overjoyed.

On a pitch-black flying boat heading towards the Western Wilderness, however, the atmosphere was oppressive.

About five or six hundred disciples from the ten great Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness all wore somber expressions.

Among them, Daoist Kusun from the Demon Sects, who was in charge of the Sword Fighting Tournament and was at the later stages of the Rotating Pill Realm, looked at a Rotating Pill and spoke in a low voice, "How is it going, the news about Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, has it been passed on to the ancestors?"

"Hmm, we had already reported to the ancestors when we left Immeasurable Mountain. By now, they should have received the information," the Rotating Pill replied.

Daoist Kusun nodded, "I didn't expect that two such prodigious figures would emerge from the Southern Territory; this complicates matters."

"With such combat power at their young age, give them some time, and they might even surpass Heavenly Saint Long Xuan, the number one powerhouse in the Southern Territory. By then, we in the Western Wilderness will no longer be a match for the Southern Territory."

Another late-stage Rotating Pill disciple from the Demon Sects beside Daoist Kusun also spoke solemnly, "Indeed, the Southern Territory is of utmost importance to us in the Western Wilderness. No matter what, we must retake the Southern Territory!"

"The ancestors will surely come up with a solution. Ye Chen and Jiang Yao may be formidable, but after all, they have not truly stepped into the Heavenly Saint Realm. There should still be a way to deal with them!"

Yet another late-stage Rotating Pill disciple spoke up, "I have already sent a message to our Sect's strongest member in the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Elder Brother Yin Qianjue. With Ye Chen and Jiang Yao joining the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Elder Brother Yin will be closely monitoring them."

"Elder Brother Yin has many powerful friends after so many years in the Heavenly Sacred Palace. I've heard that he has made acquaintance with a few Heavenly Saints. Perhaps the elders won't even need to take action; Elder Brother Yin alone might help us deal with Ye Chen and Jiang Yao properly and cut off any chance for them to enhance their strength further!"

This statement from the Rotating Pill disciple stirred the minds of many disciples from the Demon Sects.

"Elder Brother Yin Qianjue?"

"Right! Elder Brother Yin Qianjue has also reached the invincible level of the Rotating Pill, and because of his significant talent, he holds strong influence within the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"

"It was through Elder Brother Yin that our ancestors managed to make contact with the loose cultivators in the Chaotic Sea Area; it's possible that Elder Brother Yin could genuinely thwart Ye Chen's progress!"

It was only then that the Demon Sect disciples' darkened spirits lightened somewhat.

...

Within the most mysterious secret ground of the Great Xia Dynasty, located within the domain of the second-grade Sect, the Heavenly Sacred Palace,

Inside a pavilion in the First Holy Temple area,

A young man clad in dark clothes sat quietly, twisting a communication talisman in his hand.

After a long time, the talisman in his hand ignited without wind and instantly turned to nothingness.

Yet, the young man clad in dark clothes lifted his face, looking out of the pavilion, "Ye Chen? Just entered the Rotating Pill Realm and already more formidable than the Supreme Rotating Pill?"

"How could the Southern Territory produce such an impressive youth?"

"And there's Jiang Yao?"

The young man in dark clothes furrowed his brows.

After a moment of brooding with furrowed brows, his hand flashed with Spiritual Light, and a talisman flew out of the pavilion he was in.

About the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, a loud, hearty laugh could be heard outside the pavilion where the young man was, "Qian Jue, my dear brother, why the hurry in calling me here? What's the matter?"

Looking towards the source of the voice, one could see that the newcomer was an early-stage Heavenly Saint powerhouse!

And this "Qian Jue, my dear brother," the young man in dark attire, was none other than the strongest practitioner from the ten grand Demon Sects in the Western Wilderness cultivating in the Heavenly Sacred Palace — Yin Qianjue!

...

The news of the conclusion of the two grand events stirred various territories including the Southern Territory, Western Wilderness, Central Region, Extreme North, and the Eastern Polar Star Archipelago.

Discussions, surprises, and undercurrents surged in a chain reaction.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, and the top three from the Hidden Dragon List, led by Mu Qingqing, were rushing back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

As for Elder Xiao Supreme Elder and some other Heavenly Saints from the Heavenly Sacred Palace who had attended the two grand events, they did not travel with Ye Chen and the others but headed to the Tai'a Sword Sect instead.

After traveling for a considerable fifteen days, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao finally saw a vast valley shrouded in endless fog in the distance.

"Ye Chen, Sister Jiang Yao, that's the Heavenly Sacred Palace ahead!"

"Through this fog, we can truly enter the domain of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!"

Seeing the fog that enveloped the entire valley, Mu Qingqing said to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao with a cheerful smile.

"The Heavenly Sacred Palace?!"

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged glances.

"At last, we will see what this legendary number one Sect in the Central Region looks like!"

Both of them revealed a faint smile.
