Primordial Star Scripture

Every time Ye Chen thought of Jiang Yao, he couldn't wait to fly straight back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Time flew by in the blink of an eye.

Riding the Heavenly Origin Boat back to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Ye Chen spent just over seven days crossing the vast expanse of the central region of the Great Xia Dynasty, covering more than half of its territory, and finally reached the secret valley entrance to the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Whoosh!

As soon as Ye Chen retracted the Heavenly Origin Boat, he stepped into the void and flew toward the entrance.

At this time, Ye Chen had already become an official disciple of the First Holy Temple of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, of course no longer needing Mu Qingqing's help to enter. Holding the law token of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he shone it towards the entrance of the valley. The gate to the Heavenly Sacred Palace appeared immediately, and with a flicker of his figure, Ye Chen burst into the internal space of the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Flying above the void, looking at the majestic giant temples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, and the distant Heavenly Saint Mountain visible behind the giant temples, Ye Chen took a deep breath.

I'm back!

Ye Chen had survived the perilous journey north, vanquishing the Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, earning his inheritance qualifications from the Sealed God King, and had finally returned alive to the Heavenly Sacred Palace!

Last time, when Ye Chen entered the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he was a new disciple led by Mu Qingqing. Back then, his strength was just that of an ordinary early Heavenly Saint Realm fighter.

It hadn't been long, but with three years of cultivation aided by the God King's time flow, Ye Chen had greatly enhanced the power of the Taiyuan Divine Pill and the Five Great Divine Arts. He had cultivated three hundred and fifty-two Five Apertures Rotating Pills, attained the eight hundred and ten basic styles of the Sealed Divine Body, and his true fighting capability had already reached the mid-level of the Heavenly Saint Realm!

What was more terrifying was that although Ye Chen's Life-bound Flying Sword was damaged and still needed repairs, he had gained nine late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm level Sealed Guardians.

It could be said that now Ye Chen could walk sideways across the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Returning to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Ye Chen's state of mind was entirely different.

What he needed to do now was to further improve his realm, increase his strength, and first solve the great threat that the ten great Demon Sects from the Western Barbarian Wilderness posed to the south. Later, after entering the main hall of the Sealed God Temple and receiving the God King's inheritance, he would truly help Jiang Yao to face the matters involving the Divine Phoenix Clan!

With conflicting emotions in his heart, Ye Chen flew toward the five great holy temples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace. He hadn't flown far when he saw three figures flying rapidly towards him.

"Jiang Yao!"

Among the three figures, the one leading the flight was a beautiful girl about seventeen or eighteen years old. The girl, dressed in light blue, had a face that caused calamity with delicate features, intoxicating gentle dimples, skin white as snow crystal, and hair like a waterfall reaching her waist—who else could it be but Jiang Yao?

Following Jiang Yao were two other girls, one was Liu Qingmei, and the other was Mu Qingqing.

Ye Chen hadn't expected to see all three of them coming to meet him as soon as he returned to the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

In an instant, the four of them flew together in the void and came to a stop.

"Ye Chen."

Upon seeing Ye Chen, tears started rolling uncontrollably in Jiang Yao's eyes.

Although she knew Ye Chen was fine, her heart had been tight ever since she sensed something wrong with her Life-bound Flying Sword.

Now that she saw Ye Chen returning safely, her heart finally relaxed.

Jiang Yao held Ye Chen tightly in her arms, reluctant to let go.

"Alright, alright, why are you crying as soon as you're back?" Ye Chen said with a smile as he stroked Jiang Yao's little head.

"Ye Chen, you don't know, these past few days, Sister Jiang Yao was so worried."

Liu Qingmei also chimed in, "Yeah, Ye Chen, we were on our way to the Polar Star Archipelago to see Auntie when Jiang Yao suddenly sensed something wrong with the flying sword. You can't imagine how pale she turned with fright, ready to fly right back."

"It was only because Palace Master Yuan Li used her great magic to see that you were fine. It scared us to death. By the way, Ye Chen, why did that Feng Lun Heavenly Saint want to kill you?"

Hearing what Mu Qingqing and Liu Qingmei said, Ye Chen finally understood why Jiang Yao couldn't help crying when she saw him.

The girl was worried for him.

That was the girl he liked, always warming his heart.

"It's fine, I'm okay now," Ye Chen reassured, hugging Jiang Yao tightly and giving her a gentle kiss on her fair little face.

Ye Chen's gesture made Mu Qingqing and Liu Qingmei blush as they watched him, and even Jiang Yao, mindful of the two other girls by her side, turned red with embarrassment and quickly let go of Ye Chen, stepping back slightly.

However, the girl's small hand still held Ye Chen's. Thinking of the danger Ye Chen had encountered, the embarrassment on her face gradually faded, giving way to determination, "Ye Chen, who sent Feng Lun Heavenly Saint to kill you? Even if it's a mid or late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse, I will ask Palace Master Yuan Li or True Phoenix Auntie to capture him!"

Jiang Yao spoke with utter seriousness.

She would not easily forgive anyone who harmed Ye Chen.

Seeing Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, and Mu Qingqing all concerned about the incident with Feng Lun Heavenly Saint's pursuit, Ye Chen's eyes turned toward the direction of the First Holy Temple, "It wasn't the mid or late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, but a disciple from the Western Barbarian Wilderness's ten great Demon Sects who was cultivating in the First Holy Temple—Yin Qianjue."

"I've come back this time to solve the matter of this malevolent hand behind the scenes!"

"Yin Qianjue?!"

Upon hearing this name, Jiang Yao, Liu Qingmei, and Mu Qingqing's faces darkened instantly.

Knowing the real culprit behind Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, even if Ye Chen did not act to kill Yin Qianjue, the three of them would definitely not let this person go!

...

"Jiang Yao, you went to the Polar Star Archipelago in the eastern Barbarian Wilderness this time to see Liu Qingmei's auntie, how did it go? Was she the one sent by the Divine Phoenix Clan to find you?"

On the way to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Ye Chen sent a message to Jiang Yao and asked.

Jiang Yao nodded slightly, giving a gentle smile, "Yes, Ye Chen, do you know? I actually know this aunt as well, she is a Void Sky True God from our Divine Phoenix City! You can call her Aunt Mu Lan, she has returned to the Heavenly Sacred Palace with us this time, and is now with True Phoenix."

Void Sky True God?!

Currently in the Heavenly Sacred Palace?

Ye Chen's heart trembled, knowing that the one sent by the Divine Phoenix Clan to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent to find Jiang Yao was very likely the Void Sky True God.

However, hearing that another Void Sky True God had appeared, Ye Chen couldn't help but be shocked.

Along with the True Phoenix elder, the Heavenly Sacred Palace now hid two Void Sky True Gods!

"Aunt Mu Lan came across the boundary to find me and was injured by the backlash of the heavenly and earthly forces. She has not yet fully recovered," Jiang Yao's beautiful eyes dimmed slightly, "Let's go, Ye Chen. First, we'll meet with Palace Master Yuan Li. After dealing with Yin Qianjue's matter, I will take you to meet Aunt Mu Lan."

Ye Chen nodded.

The four headed toward the residence of Palace Master Yuan Li and flew off.

...

Heavenly Sacred Palace, First Holy Temple, the living space for disciples.

The disciples of the ten great Demon Sects from the Western Barbarian Wilderness training in the Heavenly Sacred Palace were gathering at Yin Qianjue's residence.

"I don't understand why Palace Master Yuan Li has ordered no one to leave the Heavenly Sacred Palace and even demands all disciples who went out to return immediately."

The Demon Sects disciples were discussing the recent orders issued by Palace Master Yuan Li.

"Indeed, looking at the Palace Master's behavior, she clearly wants to investigate something. These matters must be related to us, disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, which is why she forbids us from leaving and demands everyone to come back."

"I don't know what she is investigating, but whoever caused trouble for Palace Master Yuan Li is truly doomed," said the disciples, speculating about the reasons behind her orders.

At that moment, in the midst of the Demon Sect disciples, Yin Qianjue's face was extremely unpleasant.

Since learning about the incident involving Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, he had been nervous and uneasy, unable to eat or sleep. The sudden orders from Palace Master Yuan Li a few days ago had given him a start.

He even had a premonition that the lockdown of the Heavenly Sacred Palace by Palace Master Yuan Li, preventing anyone from leaving, was likely related to Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, related to his order to have Feng Lun Heavenly Saint to kill Ye Chen!

This possibility made Yin Qianjue even more restless.

"I haven't heard of any connection between Ye Chen and Palace Master Yuan Li. Could it be that she really intends to stand up for Ye Chen this time?"

The relationship between Palace Master Yuan Li and Jiang Yao and Ye Chen, involving the Void Sky True God True Phoenix, was kept secret, and these disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace were completely unaware.

However, the lockdown of the Heavenly Sacred Palace took place shortly after the fall of Feng Lun Heavenly Saint, causing Yin Qianjue to feel utterly disordered.

He couldn't disclose this matter to the other disciples of the Demon Sect in the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

If the word got out, it could potentially bring even greater trouble.

Bottled up inside, anxious and nervous, Yin Qianjue was nearly driven mad!

Now hearing the Demon Sect disciples discussing this matter, his anxiety worsened, and eventually, he couldn't contain himself and shouted, "Enough, stop talking about this matter!"

The sudden outburst from Yin Qianjue left the disciples of the Demon Sect looking at each other in confusion.

"Brother Yin, what's wrong?"

Seeing Yin Qianjue's stern face and silence, the Demon Sect disciples were all in a fog.

Just when the disciples from the ten great Demon Sects were feeling perplexed, a sudden violent impact sound came from the prohibitory formations around Yin Qianjue's residential manor.

Looking at the situation, it seemed as if someone was trying to break through the manor's prohibitions and barge into Yin Qianjue's residence by force.

"What's happening? This is the First Holy Temple disciple's residential manor, does someone dare to break in like this?" The Demon Sect disciples all stood up and looked outside.

Hearing this sound, Yin Qianjue's legs trembled and his heart felt like it was leaping to his throat.

Boom!

At this moment, the defense prohibitions around Yin Qianjue's residential manor burst open with a "boom," and a mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse directly flew down into Yin Qianjue's manor.

"Heavenly Saint Lord!"

Seeing this mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse suddenly entering the manor, the Demon Sect disciples were utterly stunned and quickly knelt to the ground.

The mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse did not pay attention to these Demon Sect disciples but directly turned to Yin Qianjue and said, "You are Yin Qianjue? Come with me. Palace Master Yuan Li and Brother Ye Chen have asked me to bring you to meet them!"

Palace Master Yuan Li?!

Ye Chen?!

Hearing these two names, Yin Qianjue's last bit of hope vanished.

His legs gave way, and he collapsed to the ground.
