Primordial Star Scripture

Hearing these words from the six-star Sovereign, the eyes of Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan from the arena brightened instantly.

In the second round, their assessment scores were eighty-nine thousand six hundred points and ninety-four thousand three hundred points, respectively, all within a thirty thousand point gap from Ye Chen.

If they could break through the "Wind Origin Tower" on the first day of the third round of assessments, while Ye Chen only managed to break out in the last few days of the month, then they really had a chance to surpass him!

However, as they considered this, both Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan couldn’t help but sigh.

Given Ye Chen’s powerful performance in the first two rounds, to say that they could surpass him by more than twenty-eight or twenty-nine thousand points, breaking out of the "Wind Origin Tower" more than twenty days earlier in the third round, both knew it was virtually impossible.

On the one hand, this required them to perform exceptionally well, passing through the "Wind Origin Tower" in the shortest amount of time; on the other hand, it also required Ye Chen to be slow in his tower challenge.

If either of these conditions weren’t met, they had no hope of surpassing Ye Chen.

While striving to break through the tower and passing the "Wind Origin Tower" in the shortest time possible was within their control—after all, it was something they could manage—

the idea of Ye Chen performing poorly was not something they could decide upon.

"However..."

"It’s always good to have hope."

"Even if we can’t surpass Ye Chen this round, closing the gap would make it easier to surpass him in the final battle of the fourth round!"

In the end, both Tianyu Beiling and Mo Yuan came to harbor these thoughts.

What they didn’t know was that as the six-star Sovereign hosting the assessment explained the rules for the third round, another voice entered Ye Chen’s mind.

It was a voice emitted by an enigmatic blade shadow within the "Blood Drinking Divine Blade"!

Upon hearing this voice, Ye Chen found himself in a very conflicted dilemma.

Since the six-star Sovereign had mentioned that the third round of assessment would be based on the time it took to pass through the "Wind Origin Tower," Ye Chen naturally wanted to break through the Heavenly Origin Tower as quickly as possible to further secure his first-place ranking.

However, the mysterious blade shadow in the "Blood Drinking Divine Blade" transmitted a message to Ye Chen, saying that to obtain the God King’s Legacy left by Sovereign Feng Luo, he must enter a certain cultivation site on the sixth floor of the "Wind Origin Tower" during the third round of assessment.

Moreover, he would have to spend a month there completing a cultivation assessment!

A whole month.

If he truly completed this cultivation assessment, it meant that the least amount of time Ye Chen would emerge from the "Wind Origin Tower" was an entire month, or even more, directly being ejected by the tower.

It also meant that if Ye Chen wanted to pass the Divine King’s Legacy assessment, his performance in the third round of the Nine Great Sacred Academies’ assessment would certainly be very poor, directly leading to a significant loss of assessment points.

Needless to say, this left Ye Chen extremely troubled.

On one hand, Ye Chen desired that Divine King’s Legacy.

After all, this legacy was from an existence that transcended Sovereigns, left behind by the venerable Feng Luo!

Although it was only at the God King Level, that mysterious blade shadow had told him that if Ye Chen obtained this legacy, there was a good chance he could become an invincible being within the God King Realm, unafraid even when facing mighty warriors at the Heavenly Divine Venerable level who could fight across realms.

For Ye Chen, who might likely take part in the "Star Domain’s Battle of the Divine Kings," the legacy was tremendously alluring!

But on the other hand, Ye Chen faced another problem.

That was, his participation in the Nine Great Sacred Academies’ assessment also came with a demand from Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King to clinch first place in the Nine Great Sacred Academies’ assessment.

If he lost a large number of points in this third round of assessment due to the Divine King’s Legacy assessment, it could impact his final rush for first place in the Nine Great Sacred Academies.

And if his rush for first place failed, then Ye Chen would be imprisoned by Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King for ten thousand years.

This, of course, gave Ye Chen pause!

"What should I do?"

"Should I choose the ’Divine King’s Legacy assessment’, or focus solely on the Nine Great Sacred Academies’ assessment?"

"Choosing the ’Divine King’s Legacy assessment’ doesn’t guarantee obtaining the legacy. Of course, on the other hand, although I may lose a significant amount of points in the third round, there’s still the fourth round of assessment where I have the hope of reclaiming first place!"

"If I choose to focus solely on the Nine Great Sacred Academies’ assessment, then I’ll miss out on the precious legacy left by Venerable Feng Luo."

"That mysterious blade shadow had said, this precious legacy is hidden in ’Heavenly God Mountain’. After completing the three stages of assessment, I’d receive help to enter ’Heavenly God Mountain’."

"And the second demand of the two Sovereigns is that three years later, I must successfully enter ’Heavenly God Mountain’ and come out safely."

"If I obtained the clue to Venerable Feng Luo’s legacy, it would undoubtedly help my entry into ’Heavenly God Mountain’. And once I obtain that Divine King’s Legacy inside, it would also be a great aid in the third demand the two Sovereigns have of me, the battle of the Divine Kings in the Star Domain’s youngest generation."

Considering the different benefits of the two choices, Ye Chen genuinely hesitated.

While Ye Chen was wavering, the mysterious blade shadow from the "Blood Drinking Divine Blade," which had been transmitting the message, once again reached out to Ye Chen, "Contestant, you must make a decision before entering the ’Wind Origin Tower’."

"You can choose to give up; in doing so, the trial of my master’s inheritance will automatically end,"

"If you choose to enter the trial, once you decide, regardless of whether you can complete the second phase of the cultivation trial within the ’Wind Origin Tower,’ you will be trapped inside for a month, unable to change your decision."

"Examinee, I will give you ten breaths of time. Tell me, what is your choice!"

Ten breaths, nine breaths, eight breaths…

As the mysterious blade shadow finished speaking, like the pounding of a heartbeat, the time of ten breaths kept slipping away.

After five breaths had passed, Ye Chen bit his teeth and made his decision directly.

"I choose to participate in the trial of Senior Feng Luo!" Enjoy more content from NovelBin.Côm

Boom!

After Ye Chen made his decision, the mysterious blade shadow voiced its admiration, "Although participating in the trial does not guarantee success, if you do not even have the courage to attempt it, that would be truly disappointing. It would also be a waste since the Northern Territory King personally summoned my master’s Divine Blade."

"Examinee, since you have chosen to accept the trial, I will grant you the results of your successful cultivation of the Blood Slaying Blade Technique from the first phase of the trial. This ’Blood Drinking Divine Blade’ shadow will accompany you in the next part of the trial!"

Boom!

In that instant the mysterious blade shadow spoke, a divine and strange shadow, invisible to all the sovereigns present, flew directly into Ye Chen’s Qi Sea.

This shadow was, in fact, a miniature "Blood Drinking Divine Blade" shadow, as though the giant blade from the second ancient battlefield had shrunk countless times and entered into Ye Chen’s Qi Sea.

"Is this the ’Blood Drinking Divine Blade’ shadow?" Ye Chen looked at the mini blade shadow in his Qi Sea, his eyes lighting up.

Ye Chen felt that after this mini blade shadow entered his Qi Sea, it carried the latter techniques of the "Blood Slaying Blade Technique," which he had not yet fully comprehended.

This implied that Ye Chen would be able to continue practicing the Heaven-reaching Divine Art "Blood Slaying Blade Technique" in the future.

Ye Chen had already witnessed the power of the "Blood Slaying Blade Technique" during his battles with the war soldiers.

This blade technique was almost as powerful as his own "Nine Swords of Annihilation."

Being granted such a blade technique to practice, Ye Chen was naturally overjoyed.

At the same time, his anticipation for Senior Feng Luo’s God King’s Legacy became even greater.

The mere Heaven-reaching Divine Art "Blood Slaying Blade Technique" was already extraordinary, which meant the God King’s Legacy hidden within "Heavenly God Mountain" would be even more precious!

At the same time, Ye Chen’s gaze turned to the Northern Territory King.

Just now, the mysterious blade shadow mentioned that the Northern Territory King had personally summoned this Blood Shadow God Blade.

Ye Chen suddenly had a thought—could it be that the Northern Territory King brought out the Blood Drinking Divine Blade especially for him, giving him this chance to contact Senior Feng Luo’s legacy?

While Ye Chen was contemplating, he suddenly heard the voice of the Northern Territory King, whom he was contemplating.

The Northern Territory King’s voice was crisp, sounding as pleasant as beads dropping onto a jade plate.

As if discerning Ye Chen’s thoughts, the Northern Territory King sent a telepathic message, "Ye Chen, it looks like you have accepted the second phase of Senior Feng Luo’s trial. Don’t speculate, you’re right, I did bring the ’Blood Drinking Divine Blade.’ I am quite aware of Senior Feng Luo’s trial."

"Use all your strength to strive for this legacy. Although you will lose a lot in the third round of the assessment because of this legacy, as long as you are capable, even if you fall behind temporarily, you can still come out on top in the final round!"

Towards the end, there was even a hint of laughter in the Northern Territory King’s voice, "I’m glad you chose to take part in this trial. Otherwise, I would have been very disappointed in you. I wouldn’t want Li’er to fancy a young man who lacks the courage to seize opportunities!"

The Northern Territory King’s words caused a stir in Ye Chen’s heart, and left him somewhat bemused.

Ye Chen, of course, knew that the Northern Territory King was referring to Long Li when mentioning Li’er, and hearing the Northern Territory King say that Long Li liked him made Ye Chen feel somewhat embarrassed.

"Jiang Yao, Long Li…sigh…"

Ye Chen then thought of those two exceptionally beautiful girls.

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chen cast these thoughts aside.

He was now amidst the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ assessment and had entered Senior Feng Luo’s trial. Ye Chen could not afford to take anything lightly.

"To battle it is. For the third round of the assessment, I’ll do my best to meet Senior Feng Luo’s trial requirements, and in the fourth round, I’ll fight for the first place in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ assessment!"

"I can’t relax in either task. Only by making the most of every opportunity will I be able to fulfill all three requirements in ten years, become powerful swiftly and see Jiang Yao again soon!"

Ye Chen had decided to take part in Senior Feng Luo’s trial because he wanted to seize every chance to become stronger and did not give up this precious opportunity!

Even if there were losses in the third round of the assessment, he did not back down!

Shortly after Ye Chen made his decision, the sovereign presiding over the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ assessment finally announced, "Now, the third round of the assessment, braving the ’Wind Origin Tower,’ officially begins. All one hundred thousand examinees, prepare to be transported into the ’Wind Origin Tower’!"
