Primordial Star Scripture

The only ones in the arena who were not surprised by the appearance of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" within the "Bottomless Fire Cave," the Extreme Heavenly Item, were Long Li, Zhu Qianqian, and Zhu Qingqing.

These three were already privy to the matter of the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

It was precisely because they had previously traversed the first eight trials that they led everyone to this ninth trial with the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" inside the Bottomless Fire Cave.

At this moment, rather than being surprised, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing felt a sense of urgency.

They were tasked with assisting Long Li in obtaining the "Blue Extreme Iceflame." However, now others had become involved. Even though they were fully confident in Long Li’s strength and talent, Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing didn’t wish to see others compete with Long Li for the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

"Sister Long Li, what should we do? These small characters on the wall have revealed everything about the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame.’

"Now, everyone can join in the competition for the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame!’

"It’s a pity that these small characters state we cannot interfere with others competing for the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ or we’ll be kicked out of the Bottomless Fire Cave. Otherwise, if Sister Long Li made a move, she could just kick everyone else out and cultivate the ’Method of Fire Control’ herself!"

Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing grumbled and transmitted their words to Long Li.

The young girl Long Li heard their words but simply shook her head and smiled.

"Even if there wasn’t this rule about not interfering with others competing for the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame,’ I wouldn’t consider kicking these people out," she said.

"The Extreme Heavenly Item is something that belongs to those with destiny. If I deliberately kicked the others out, it would show that I’m taking a lower stance, that I fear the competition, and that I lack confidence in myself."

"A contest in cultivating the ’Method of Fire Control?’ I, Long Li, have never lost to anyone since I was young!"

Long Li smiled gently, thinking to herself.

As the most adored youth of the Wanmu Divine Nation, Long Li truly did not care about others competing with her for the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

Since the "Blue Extreme Iceflame" had drawn everyone here, Long Li was also confident about competing with everyone present.

However, some people did not share the same thoughts.

After seeing the small characters describing the Extreme Heavenly Item, the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," Yang Yun, Yang Yan, and Qin Feng instantly directed their gazes toward Ye Chen, Mu Ling, and Mu Xiao.

Neither of the three wanted others to compete with them for the "Blue Extreme Iceflame."

Even with Long Li present, they had almost no hope of surpassing her, but they were even less willing to let Ye Chen, Mu Ling, and Mu Xiao compete for it, and they didn’t want to give these three the chance to cultivate the "Method of Fire Control" either.

If it weren’t for the rule stated by the small characters, perhaps Qin Feng and the others would have joined forces to kick out the weaker individuals first!

Especially Qin Feng.

His jealousy and enmity toward Ye Chen had spiked due to Long Li’s attention to him. Seeing that Ye Chen also had the opportunity to cultivate the "Method of Fire Control" and compete for the "Blue Extreme Iceflame," Qin Feng was especially displeased!

"Hmph, this mere Four Tribulations True God has had such luck, to be able to come here with Mu Ling and Mu Xiao and gain this opportunity," he thought.

"It’s really like heaven has no eyes!"

Angrily, Qin Feng could only console himself: "Hmph, what can a Four Tribulations True God possibly know? How experienced can he be? Even if Mu Ling and Mu Xiao praised him to the heavens before, he’s still just a Four Tribulations True God!"

"According to these small characters, one must progress layer by layer, cultivating all twenty-two layers of the ’Method of Fire Control’ in order to withstand the Extreme Heavenly Trial and finally obtain the ’Blue Extreme Iceflame.’ If one fails to pass these tests, even if they have learned the initial layers of the ’Method of Fire Control,’ the insights gained will be erased upon being transported out of here!"

"Giving him this chance is also futile. I fear this kid won’t even be able to learn the first layer of the ’Method of Fire Control!’"

"I want to see how embarrassed he will be, being the weakest among so many!"

Qin Feng even envisioned the scenario where Ye Chen would face a humiliating defeat before Long Li, while he himself would shine splendidly in front of her.

Although Qin Feng wasn’t sure he could learn all twenty-two layers of the "Method of Fire Control," he was confident that he would be stronger than Ye Chen and even many other people present!

"Kid, just wait to be disgraced!"

Qin Feng looked at Ye Chen, wanting to see how nervous he was facing the upcoming "Method of Fire Control" cultivation.

What he saw, however, was Ye Chen already sitting cross-legged on the ground, beginning his cultivation with his eyes closed.

"Hmph, just putting on an act!" Qin Feng scoffed, sat down cross-legged, and started to cultivate according to the first layer of the "Method of Fire Control" as described by the small characters on the wall.

Qin Feng’s mental state was unknown to the others, and nobody cared.

Because at this moment, others harboring their own thoughts also sat down one after another to start their cultivation.

Everyone had the opportunity to cultivate the "Method of Fire Control;" everyone had a chance to obtain the Extreme Heavenly Item, the "Blue Extreme Iceflame;" they naturally wanted to cultivate as quickly as possible and complete the Extreme Heavenly Trial!

Dozens of breaths later, everyone in the arena had begun their cultivation while sitting cross-legged.

The ten mighty god-kings, along with Ye Chen, the Four Tribulations true god, eleven in total, had all commenced their cultivation.

As they closed their eyes to cultivate, they immersed themselves in the mysterious intricacies of the "Method of Fire Control" first layer.

They had no idea how much time had passed.

It was only when a sudden loud noise jolted them awake from their cultivation.

Then, they discovered that Long Li, who had been sitting, had already stood up.

With Long Li’s rise, a blue symbol flew directly from the tetrahedral array formed by the fusion of three flame marks of the size of a human head and landed on her body.

At the same time, engraved within the tetrahedral array was the numeral "one".

Seeing the blue symbol flying toward Long Li, everyone was startled.

It signified, unmistakably, the aspect described in the fine print, the successful comprehension of the "Method of Fire Control" first layer.

This indicated that Long Li had completed the first layer’s cultivation of the "Method of Fire Control" and now possessed the ability to proceed farther!

After standing up, Long Li nodded to Zhu Qianqian and Zhu Qingqing, who were watching her with excitement, and after casting a meaningful glance at Ye Chen, she continued towards the passage below.

"Junior Sister Long Li is truly the most formidable!"

Seeing Long Li progress forward, Yang Yunyang Hao and Qin Feng all took a deep breath.

The three admirers of Long Li, who were also among the top ranks on the "God-King chart" of the Nine Great God Institutes, were unwilling to be outdone. They simultaneously thought, "We may not be as talented as Junior Sister Long Li, but we must become the second person to complete the ’Method of Fire Control’ first layer!"

The three of them promptly closed their eyes and resumed their contemplation.

As for the others, witnessing Long Li’s continued advancement instilled them with a mix of respect and shock, and they too closed their eyes and carried on with their practice.

As for Ye Chen, upon opening his eyes and seeing that Long Li had completed the first layer of the "Method of Fire Control", he immediately closed his eyes again.

What the others didn’t know was that Ye Chen had also completed the first layer’s practice. He just had yet to activate the successfully cultivated symbol according to the spell of the first layer of the "Method of Fire Control".

"This ’Method of Fire Control’ requires more layers of practice before properly understanding the secrets hidden within. Just contemplating the first layer doesn’t hold much significance."

"Now that Long Li has succeeded, I cannot lag behind. Time to activate the successfully cultivated symbol!"

With his eyes closed, Ye Chen followed the guideline provided by the first layer’s spell of the "Method of Fire Control" and directly activated the symbol.

In just over a dozen breaths, as the others had just closed their eyes and Yang Yunyang Hao and Qin Feng had just resolved to compete for the completion of the "Method of Fire Control" first layer, they all heard another loud noise.

At that sound, they knew another person had succeeded in completing the "Method of Fire Control" first layer.

"Who is it?!"

"How could someone cultivate so quickly? Junior Sister Long Li has just succeeded!"

Since neither Yang Yunyang Hao nor Qin Feng had completed their cultivation, naturally, they panicked and couldn’t help but look at the other two.

However, they too saw the disbelief on the other’s faces.

"It’s not them!"

"Then who is it?"

Yang Yunyang Hao and Qin Feng hastily looked towards the tetrahedral array, only to see a blue symbol flying out of it towards a corner of the passage.

Looking towards that corner, Yang Yunyang Hao and Qin Feng saw a young man standing up.

The blue symbol, representing the completion of the "Method of Fire Control" first layer, flew straight to this young man.

"Is it him?!"

Yang Yunyang Hao exclaimed in disbelief. Stay connected via NovelBin.Côm

And Qin Feng stood there, completely astonished.

For they had seen that this standing young man was the very Four Tribulations true god that they had completely underestimated.

It was Ye Chen!
