Primordial Star Scripture

Great Zhou Dynasty, Falling Frost City, a small tavern at the north of the city.

Dressed in a snow-white cotton-padded coat, her fair face as white as snow itself and only fifteen years of age, the beautiful young girl Liu Yingying looked at Ye Chen, who had just finished his meal and was getting ready to leave, with eyes full of reluctance, "Brother Ye Chen, are you leaving? "

Merely half an hour earlier, Ye Chen had descended from the sky and to Liu Yingying's great surprise, reappeared in the small tavern.

The young girl would never forget that eleven days ago, when bandits from the Heavenly Tiger Gang had tried to snatch her away to their stronghold, it was this young man before her who had single-handedly resolved the terrible predicament.

She would even less forget that this very young man before her had fought a legendary figure from the Heavenly Saint Realm, and had personally killed that figure.

It was this young man who had changed the entire situation in Falling Frost City; the troublesome Heavenly Tiger Gang had been uprooted overnight, and no more bandits dared to oppress the citizens of Falling Frost City!

Liu Yingying held endless admiration for this young man called Ye Chen.

She hadn't expected that Brother Ye Chen would come back to the tavern, and his surprise visit made her incredibly happy. But the fact that Ye Chen was just going to eat and then leave made her feel all the more unwilling to part.

"Yes, my lord, please stay a while longer. Look, Yingying and everyone else here don't want you to leave," said Old Master Liu, Liu Yingying's grandfather and the tavern's shopkeeper, as he hurriedly stood respectfully in front of Ye Chen.

The tavern's patrons also gathered around Ye Chen, "Yes, Young Master Ye Chen, we've all heard about your deeds. You've helped Falling Frost City a great deal by dealing with the Heavenly Tiger Gang's huge threat. It's a fortune beyond three lifetimes to meet you here in the tavern!"

Another person said, "I personally witnessed Master Ye Chen taking action last time. He's so young, yet incredibly powerful! He saved us from the Heavenly Saint; Master Ye Chen is the most powerful youth I've ever seen!"

"The Heavenly Saint from last time said Master Ye Chen came from the Heavenly Sacred Palace. Master Ye Chen is a true young genius from the number one sect, the Heavenly Sacred Palace, in our Central Region!"

Seeing the excited and reluctant expressions on the faces of Liu Yingying, Shopkeeper Liu, and the other tavern patrons, Ye Chen smiled and said, "This time, I left the Heavenly Sacred Palace to deal with some matters, and now that those matters are resolved, I should head back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace."

Liu Yingying quietly hummed an acknowledgment; she knew she couldn't delay this incredible young man from his important matters just because of her own reluctance, "Then, Brother Ye Chen, please be careful on your way back. If you get the chance, you should come visit us again."

Ye Chen smiled and nodded in agreement.

This time, as he left the Nine Nether Pond and was rushing back towards the Heavenly Sacred Palace, when he reached Falling Frost City, Ye Chen remembered the events from a little more than ten days ago. After all, he had formed a connection with this place, so he specifically stopped by this small tavern again.

Listening to Liu Yingying recount the events after his departure, hearing how the Black Wind Stronghold where the Heavenly Tiger Gang had been based had been utterly eradicated, with its bandits dead or dispersed, and how Falling Frost City had returned to peace, Ye Chen could consider this matter closed.

This trip away from the Heavenly Sacred Palace, to the Nine Nether Pond, besides encountering the Heavenly Tiger Gang and Feng Lun Heavenly Saint in the tavern, had gone smoothly. Now with Feng Lun Heavenly Saint defeated and the Heavenly Tiger Gang utterly destroyed, he also had the immense gains from the Icebound Temple's inheritance test, making this trip a complete success.

And so, after finishing his meal and drink, Ye Chen was ready to leave.

Seeing that Ye Chen insisted on leaving, the tavern patrons, of course, didn't dare to stop him, and they all escorted Ye Chen out towards the exit of the tavern.

"Right, Little Sister Liu Yingying, you are at the eleventh level of the True Qi Realm, and you must be close to making a breakthrough to the Spirit Sea Realm," Ye Chen said as they walked, something occurring to him as he turned to speak to Liu Yingying.

Liu Yingying nodded, "Indeed, once I cultivate to the twelfth level of True Qi, I will begin attempting to reach the Spirit Sea Realm. Brother Ye Chen, I will definitely cultivate hard in the future, striving to be as formidable as you!"

"Our meeting is fated, and I have something for you, as a gift," Ye Chen said with a smile.

With a flick of his finger, a streak of light flew towards Liu Yingying.

Catching the streak of light, Liu Yingying looked at what she had received and her face instantly filled with delight, "A Five Elements Spirit Seed? And it's the best quality, most suitable Water Spirit Seed for my cultivation… My goodness, this gift is far too precious, Brother Ye Chen, I can't accept this."

Ye Chen, being of such a high realm, could of course discern Liu Yingying's cultivation level and the main technique she majored in. He had many treasures on him, and took out a top-grade Five Elements Spirit Seed to help this girl he had chanced upon one day break through to the Spirit Sea Realm. It was a small fortune he was bestowing upon Liu Yingying.

"Don't be polite, this Five Elements Spirit Seed is not precious to me. It's just right for you, you should take it," Ye Chen said with a light smile upon seeing Liu Yingying's hesitant and timid demeanor.

Liu Yingying bit her red lips, and with her large eyes, she gave Ye Chen a deep look. After a few breaths, a smile mixed with shyness blossomed in the girl's eyes. "Then Yingying thanks Brother Ye Chen. Yingying will always remember Brother Ye Chen's kindness."

A top-grade Five Elements Spirit Seed was the most precious item for a True Qi Realm martial artist to break through to the Spirit Sea Realm. It was not important to Ye Chen now but was extremely precious to Liu Yingying.

After smiling at Liu Yingying, Ye Chen stepped out of the small tavern.

When he arrived outside the tavern, it was already surrounded by the experts of Falling Frost City who had come upon hearing the news. All the sects of Falling Frost City, even the leaders and elders of the largest sect—the six-ranked Falling Snow Sect—stood outside the tavern with the utmost respect.

As Ye Chen walked out, all these experts bowed to him and called out, "Elder Ye Chen!"

In the Barbaric Continent, martial prowess was honored above all else.

Ye Chen, being able to slay a Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse, was an extremely important figure in the eyes of these people, so of course they had to show the utmost respect!

Liu Yingying, being young, still called Ye Chen "Big Brother," and many of the patrons in the tavern who didn't understand martial arts referred to Ye Chen as Young Master Ye. However, these strong individuals from Falling Frost City did not dare address him in such a casual manner and instead directly called him Elder Ye Chen!

Elder?!

Ye Chen couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile.

He wasn't even half as old as these people, and yet they addressed him as an elder.

"All right, I was just passing through. I will be leaving now. In the future, you sects and powers of Falling Frost City, take good care of Shopkeeper Liu of this little tavern and his granddaughter, as well as the citizens of Falling Frost City," Ye Chen said.

Ye Chen, of course, wouldn't go into detail with these people. He waved at them with a light smile, and after nodding to Liu Yingying, Shopkeeper Liu, and the others in the tavern, he directly tore through the void with his hands and stepped into the spatial crack, disappearing from the scene.

"As Elder Ye Chen commands!" responded the sect leaders and elders of Falling Frost City, all nodding and loudly affirming.

Witnessing Ye Chen disappear from the scene instantaneously, with such mystical movement, their hearts could not help but be filled with immense admiration. "Heavenly Saint, this is the strength of a Heavenly Saint!"

The young girl Liu Yingying, meanwhile, was clutching the top-grade Water Spirit Seed that Ye Chen had just given her, her eyes fixed on the spot where Ye Chen had vanished, without moving for a long time.

...

Within the void of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Inside the Heavenly Origin Boat.

Ye Chen sat on the flying boat, gazing towards the direction of the Heavenly Sacred Palace of the Great Xia Dynasty. "A few more days of flight, and I'll be back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace. I wonder if Jiang Yao's trip to the Polar Star Archipelago went smoothly, she should have already returned to the Heavenly Sacred Palace by now."

The beautiful visage of Jiang Yao emerged in Ye Chen's mind, especially the three years they spent in the Icebound Temple's subsidiary hall where time flowed differently. To Ye Chen, it felt like a lot of time had passed.

Having not seen Jiang Yao for such a long time, he was missing her intensely.
