Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 918 - 868: Reunion (2nd Update)

Ye Chen didn't care much about how to refine the Purple Silver Pearl.

However, the more powerful "Blue Soul Cultivation Technique" intrigued Ye Chen immensely.

In just one day, due to the influx of Divine Soul Power, his Divine Soul had transformed to the level of a Green Light Soul. Although Ye Chen was still unsure how this transformation would affect his combat power,

he had already sensed the benefits of the Divine Soul's evolution!

Ye Chen had long noticed that since his Divine Soul was elevated to the Green Light Soul level, its overall power had grown significantly, and his reaction speed had also accelerated greatly.

Even the top-notch divine soul technique he had been struggling to grasp—the "Gourd Sword Technique," which corresponded to the "Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills"—Ye Chen suddenly experienced a much stronger understanding.

Ye Chen even had the feeling that if he left the "Bead Refining Diagram," he could cultivate the "Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills" with remarkable ease, advancing from controlling more than three hundred flying swords to mastering seven or eight hundred.

This change naturally filled Ye Chen with expectations for an even more powerful "Blue Light Soul."

If he could successfully cultivate the "Blue Light Soul," fully mastering the "Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills" would likely become a reality!

Now that the "Blue Soul Cultivation Technique" was right before him, Ye Chen was determined to seize the time to cultivate diligently. Utilizing the influx of Divine Soul power, he aimed to further strengthen his soul!

On the second day of entering the "Bead Refining Diagram," Ye Chen began cultivating the "Blue Soul Cultivation Technique."

This time, a Divine Soul power far greater than that of the Red Light Soul and Green Light Soul surged toward Ye Chen.

For the first time, Ye Chen truly experienced the agony of increasing soul strength.

Yet, no matter how painful it was, Ye Chen gritted his teeth and pushed through!

Because Ye Chen knew that once he endured this phase, his soul would achieve an extraordinary transformation!

The process of cultivating the "Blue Light Soul" with the "Blue Soul Cultivation Technique" also took far longer than developing the Red Light Soul and Green Light Soul.

Even with the continuous influx of Divine Soul power, Ye Chen spent a full five days to completely cultivate the "Blue Soul Cultivation Technique" and reach the strength level of the "Blue Light Soul!"

At this point, including the day spent cultivating the Green Light Soul earlier, Ye Chen had already spent six days within the "Bead Refining Diagram."

Ye Chen did not rush to begin comprehending the third refining method of the Purple Silver Pearl—"Solution Condensing Pearl Skills"—to quickly finish the third part of the "Bead Refining Diagram" and move on to its more valuable fourth part.

With only one day left, Ye Chen realized he likely wouldn't have enough time to begin cultivating the fourth part of the "Bead Refining Diagram" thoroughly.

He also didn't feel an urgent need to examine the fourth part's "Purple Soul Cultivation Technique," corresponding to the "Purple Light Soul."

At this moment, after his soul had transformed into the "Blue Light Soul," Ye Chen had a sudden epiphany.

He finally understood why there were five levels of soul strength within the Heavenly God Mountain.

After reaching the strength level of the "Blue Light Soul," Ye Chen sensed as if a grand door had opened to him.

This door was the gateway to surpass the realm of the Sovereign.

This door was the path to the Cosmic Sea!

Although Ye Chen was still far from "transcending the Sovereign Realm," on the matter of Divine Soul life vital signs, he could sense it clearly—that to achieve "transcending the Sovereign Realm," his soul strength must reach "Purple Light Soul."

Moreover, it had to be cultivated to the level of Great Perfection!

Without achieving this, even if his realm reached the Nine-Star Sovereign Realm, he would never overcome the barrier between the Sovereign Realm and the Divine Master Realm!

This realization stemmed from the intrinsic elevation of his Divine Soul, granting him a perception of the essence of greater worlds.

A vast world began to take shape within Ye Chen's Divine Sense. As soon as his Essence, Qi, and Spirit reached their ultimate limits, he could transcend the boundaries of this universe and enter the Cosmic Sea!

"In terms of physical skills, I possess the 'Eternal God Body!'

"In terms of True Qi techniques, I likewise have the invaluable 'Primordial Star Scripture,' which serves as the foundation. The 'Primordial Star Scripture' can even enhance both my physical body and my Divine Soul."

"Now, for soul techniques, I've come into contact with the five-tiered soul strength classification!"

"At last, in my realm cultivation, I have no weakness!"

Ye Chen quietly reflected upon the transformations brought about by the evolution of his soul.

He calmly absorbed the life-altering elevation that soul evolution gifted him.

Then, on the final day of the seven-day timeframe within the "Bead Refining Diagram," Ye Chen began condensing the solution in the furnace into the initial Purple Silver Pearl.

By midday, he fulfilled the requirements of the third part of the "Bead Refining Diagram."

Following this, Ye Chen gained access to the final and most mysterious fourth part's manuscripts—the "Purple Soul Cultivation Technique" and the final steps for refining the Purple Silver Pearl, the "Purple Silver Pearl Formation Method."

Ye Chen merely memorized these two manuscripts before the seven days concluded, and he was then expelled from the "Bead Refining Diagram."

As he was expelled, Ye Chen's body became imbued with an exclusive Divine Light from the "Bead Refining Diagram"—the Purple Silver Divine Light!

During these seven days,

Ye Chen had already accessed the fourth part of the "Bead Refining Diagram."

But the other seven participants were nowhere near as strong!

By now, several had already perished while attempting to comprehend the "Bead Refining Diagram."

From Ye Chen's group of five, he had far surpassed the requirements of the "Bead Refining Diagram," even completing its third part.

Mu Qingxue, too, had successfully comprehended the first two parts of the "Bead Refining Diagram," meeting the requirements to pass the Third Killing Formation.

However, the other three Divine Kings had all perished during their cultivation of the Green Soul Cultivation Technique, unable to withstand the overwhelming influx of Divine Soul power.

In the group that accessed the "Bead Refining Diagram," only four individuals survived.

Though the survival rate looked decent,

it was important to note that the survivors—Lin Shan, Sima Liao, and Ye Chen—were the three strongest on the Heavenly God List!

Truly, the only weaker individual to survive was Mu Qingxue.

From this, one could understand the terrifying nature of the "Bead Refining Diagram."

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amid flashes of Divine Light, Ye Chen, Mu Qingxue, Lin Shan, and Sima Liao were expelled from the "Bead Refining Diagram," their souls returning to their original physical bodies.

In the undersea mountain area where Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue were located,

as soon as their Divine Souls returned, they stood up from meditation, only to see the bodies of the other three Divine Kings beside them burst apart and vanish.

This phenomenon clearly signified the complete obliteration of their Divine Souls, leading to the ultimate destruction of their Divine Bodies.

Witnessing this tragic end, Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue instantly understood that the three individuals who arduously endured the first two Killing Formations had perished within the "Bead Refining Diagram."

Though these three had benefitted from Ye Chen's aid to survive up to this point, in the end, their own lack of strength sealed their fates.

Watching the three lifeless bodies, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh deeply.

Turning his head to find Mu Qingxue still alive, Ye Chen finally felt a sense of relief.

As long as Mu Qingxue hadn't perished within the "Bead Refining Diagram," there was still hope of escaping the Sea of Mist.

"Ye Chen,"

Mu Qingxue, seeing that Ye Chen was unharmed, relaxed visibly, her beautiful eyes softening.

The two exchanged a glance, but before they could say much, a familiar voice reverberated throughout the undersea mountain area: "Challengers who have passed the Three Great Killing Formations, you will now enter the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth,' where tasks and fortuitous opportunities await you."

"Complete the tasks, and you may emerge from the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth' early, possibly continuing your journey across Heavenly God Mountain."

"Fail to complete the tasks, and you risk being trapped in the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth' for tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of years!"

Boom!

This voice resounded in the undersea mountain area where Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue stood, as well as the corresponding area for Lin Shan and Sima Liao.

As the four individuals processed these words, the nine enormous pits within their respective undersea mountain areas erupted with boundless Divine Light.

When this Divine Light surged, the Purple Silver Divine Light emanating from the four participants also lit up, and simultaneously pulled them toward the nine immense pits.

Moments later, all four figures vanished into the pits.

The Void flashed violently.

Boundaries shifted.

As the Purple Silver Divine Light carried him through the enormous pits, Ye Chen felt an indescribably wonderful sensation.

It was as if he were traveling to an entirely different world.

Ye Chen also had the distinct impression that, had he jumped into the pits recklessly without possessing the Purple Silver Divine Light, he might have been eradicated by the forces within the pits.

At this moment, amidst the traversal, Ye Chen clearly sensed a terrifying boundary power surrounding him. Without the protection of the Purple Silver Divine Light, he might have already perished during the journey.

"Having passed the Three Great Undersea Killing Formations, I finally enter the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth'!"

As he traversed, Ye Chen's mind raced.

Earlier, in the Mausoleum Graveyard, Ye Chen had learned about the existence of the "Purple Mine Labyrinth" and something called the "Purple Crystal Divine Mountain."

Ye Chen also knew that within the "Purple Mine Labyrinth" there might still be challengers from past eras who entered Heavenly God Mountain.

Now, as he traveled toward the "Purple Mine Labyrinth," he was likely about to meet challengers from tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years ago—a thought that made Ye Chen's heart pound with excitement.

"It seems the individuals still within the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth' are those who failed to complete their tasks and became trapped."

"If failing tasks traps one for tens of thousands of years, what kind of tasks does the 'Purple Mine Labyrinth' impose?"

As Ye Chen pondered, a thunderous explosion suddenly echoed, and soon, Ye Chen discovered that he had completed his traversal and arrived in a new realm.

This realm was incomparably magnificent.

The first sight that greeted him was a series of massive purple-silver mountains, identical to those Ye Chen had encountered within the "Bead Refining Diagram."

Within the "Bead Refining Diagram," Ye Chen had only seen one gargantuan purple-silver mountain. Yet here, amidst this new domain, purple-silver mountains stretched endlessly in every direction.

Not only had the number of purple-silver mountains multiplied, but their size had also increased severalfold, forming a sprawling mineral world of interwoven purple-silver veins!

As Ye Chen surveyed his surroundings, he noticed Mu Qingxue standing nearby. Beside them, Sima Liao and Lin Shan were gazing at them in astonishment.

"You two also fell into the deadly sea floor? And survived the 'Bead Refining Diagram'?" Lin Shan asked in surprise upon seeing Ye Chen and Mu Qingxue.

"Ye Chen, you actually escaped death!" Sima Liao's eyes flared with a blend of terror and unease.

Sima Liao had assumed that once he split from Ye Chen, their paths wouldn't cross again.

But now, after surviving the Three Great Killing Formations of the deadly sea floor, he'd once again encountered Ye Chen.
