Primordial Star Scripture

The words of God King Wucan made many in the crowd clench their fists.

Even the younger generation of the four Great Generals—Tian Li, Zhao Xin, Meng Qi, and Hu Lin—was no exception.

These individuals had suffered due to their rankings at the first cultivation chamber, the Eighty-Eight Chambers, missing out on their desired chambers. Of course, they didn't want to continue at a disadvantage in the subsequent training.

"Ye Chen!"

Tian Li's gaze locked onto Ye Chen, thinking to himself, "In the first test, I was defeated by you, and I didn't even get to choose the eightieth chamber that I wanted most. In the following assessments and competitions, I must surpass you by far, and in the second and third training sites after that, I must choose before you!"

These individuals were secretly cheering themselves up for not having chosen their favored chambers, while many other martial artists, especially those from the lower realm, became even more anxious.

They knew that once the one-month cultivation time was up, if the assessments didn't go well, it wouldn't just be a matter of not being able to choose an ideal training site—they would be eliminated directly!

To cultivate within the Minor Pole Sky again would be out of the question.

They had to seize every opportunity to make the most of this one-month cultivation period!

With various thoughts in mind, everyone headed towards their chosen cultivation chambers.

As for Ye Chen, he walked toward the eighty-first chamber, accompanied by the Spirit Light Child, "Sixty-Two."

"One month of cultivation time, it's too short."

Ye Chen felt a sense of urgency.

Back in the Icebound Temple, it took nearly two years to cultivate the eight hundred and ten techniques of the basic Icebound Divine Body, even with the acceleration of the flow of time.

Now, with only one month to cultivate the "Undying Divine Body," Ye Chen knew it would be difficult to reach a profound level of mastery, and he would have to make the most of this time.

As he pushed open the door to the eighty-first chamber, Ye Chen found the chamber small, spanning only a few hundred zhang.

But when Ye Chen stepped into the chamber and sat down at the cultivation stone platform in the center, he felt as though he was sitting in a piece of starry land amidst the cosmic stars.

In this land of stars, there was nothing but countless vines growing endlessly upwards.

Upon seeing these vines, a myriad of cultivation techniques started pouring into his mind.

"The Cultivation Technique of the Undying Divine Body is gleaned from the growth and immortal nature of the Undying Devil Vine..."

"The cultivation of this technique involves spreading the Undying Factor throughout every part of the flesh, allowing the entire body to spontaneously generate the Undying Factor."

"The first three volumes of the Undying Divine Body, with the first being about connecting with the Undying Devil Vines within the 'Undying Devil Vine Star,' relating one's divine body with the undying vines..."

"The second volume starts the actual cultivation of the Undying Factor..."

The techniques of the first three volumes of the Undying Divine Body flowed repeatedly through Ye Chen's mind, which became ever clearer.

Ye Chen discovered that he had previously cultivated the eight hundred and ten techniques of the basic Icebound Divine Body.

Having once connected with the nine divine ice stars, the methods of the Undying Divine Body had much in common with the basics of the Icebound Divine Body.

Furthermore, after completing the basic techniques of the Icebound Divine Body, deep within his body, nine divine gates appeared, identical to the nine massive ice gates on the nine divine ice stars.

These divine gates greatly aided the cultivation of the Undying Divine Body!

When Ye Chen began to follow the cultivation techniques of the Undying Divine Body to connect with the "Undying Devil Vine Star," he felt the nine divine gates open, sending his mind soaring through the cosmic stars.

Ye Chen felt his entire being intertwine with the incessantly growing Undying Devil Vines on the "Undying Devil Vine Star," as if his spirit was gradually merging with them.

In the end, he was completely immersed in this strange connection with the Undying Devil Vine.

If one were to peer deep into his body, they could even witness the shadows of vines within the nine divine gates, increasingly distinct until they eventually manifested as soaring devil vines within the gates!

As those soaring devil vines appeared within the nine divine gates, Ye Chen, absorbed in his cultivation, was wholly oblivious to his physical strength growing with the power of the "Undying Devil Vine," which was steadily being integrated into it!

Moreover, due to the fusion of the two divine bodies, this power was continuously growing exponentially!

Bang!

The days of cultivation were short.

Completely engrossed in his cultivation and unaware of how much time had passed, Ye Chen was jolted awake by a sudden loud noise, "The one-month cultivation period at the first training site is over. Everyone, leave the chambers and gather in the side hall!"

"The one-month cultivation period is over?!"

Ye Chen opened his eyes, somewhat surprised, as if he had just been cultivating for a short while, and it had already come to an end—a full month of cultivation time had completely passed!

Swish!

Ye Chen stood up.

Upon standing, Ye Chen felt his entire body radically different than before.

It was hard to describe the feeling, as if... his body was filled with endless strength that seemed to continuously renew, grow and replenish itself.

"The Undying Divine Body!"

"Over the past month, after I committed the first three volumes of the Cultivation Technique to memory, I focused entirely on cultivating the first volume, connecting with the 'Undying Devil Vine Star' within to channel the Undying Devil Vine."

"I haven't even officially started the cultivation of the 'Undying Factor' from the second volume, yet my strength has increased this much?!"

"Could it be that channeling the Undying Devil Vine also enhances one's physical combat strength?!"

Ye Chen was somewhat surprised, marveling at the progress he had made in just one month of cultivation.

What he didn't know was that upon entering true cultivation, the mutual nurturing and connection between the two divine bodies had greatly accelerated his cultivation progress.

He was also unaware that the foundation technique of the Icebound Divine Body, comprising eight hundred and ten forms, was in itself an extremely powerful and inclusive divine body cultivation technique.

And when cultivated alongside another mighty and inclusive technique like the Undying Divine Body, it resulted in unbelievable and wondrous changes!

"I wonder, to what extent has my physical strength grown now?"

Feeling the surging physical power within him, Ye Chen, lost in thought, stepped out of the eighty-first secret chamber and headed towards the convergence area of the side hall.

He had already memorized the first three volumes of the Undying Divine Body cultivation technique and had completed the connection with the Undying Divine Vine Star. Even after leaving the secret chamber, he could continue cultivating.

As Ye Chen made his way to the side hall, other martial artists from the lower realm, young ones from the Divine Kingdom, the Little Provincial Princess, and the four Great Generals' younger generations, too, emerged from their cultivation chambers.

Some of them showed joyful smiles on their faces after sensing the progress they had made during the month of cultivation.

Others had furrowed brows due to meager gains.

And there were those filled with fighting spirit, eager to head to the first assessment site to test their improvements.

Among the crowd, Tian Li, who had missed his preferred secret chamber because Ye Chen had chosen the eighty-first one, now had flames of combat burning in his eyes: "In the initial physical strength test, I was stronger than Ye Chen."

"The first assessment site is all about physical abilities. I must leave Ye Chen behind in this first trial and no longer let him hold a position above me!"

When all the warriors gathered in the side hall, God King Wucan, God King Lei Yun, and Divine Venerable Hong Zhu were already waiting there.

Seeing everyone assembled, God King Wucan, who presided over the first training site, wasted no time and immediately addressed the crowd, "The month has ended, and regardless of your progress in cultivation, it is now time to face the first assessment."

"Now, follow me to the site for the assessment trials!"

The first site's assessment trials were about to begin!

At God King Wucan's words, a glint of light flashed in Ye Chen's eyes.

Having obtained the first three volumes of the Undying Divine Body cultivation technique from this first site of physical cultivation, Ye Chen realized the strength of Minor Pole Sky, and he was determined to press on towards even more advanced training sites.

Regardless, he was fully intent on succeeding in this first assessment trial!

As a glint of resolve flickered in Ye Chen's eyes, the other martial artists also stirred, their gazes alight with energy. Even those worried about failing the assessment were fully mobilizing their spirits, ready for the upcoming challenge.

The Little Provincial Princess was the most at ease among them all.

She had emerged from the eighty-eighth secret chamber quite relaxed, and in the initial testing of the three major life signs, her physical vital signs were among the strongest.

Clearly, cultivating the physical body was no difficulty for her!

All followed behind God King Wucan, making their way deep into the Infinity God Temple.

After about the time it takes to brew a pot of tea, they arrived at another great hall.

And Ye Chen noticed that this hall was empty, save for a huge portal on the wall at the far end, beyond which seemed to be another world.

"Could it be that the site for the first assessment trial is through that portal?"

As Ye Chen speculated, God King Wucan along with God King Lei Yun and Divine Venerable Hong Zhu were already flying towards the portal.

At the same time, God King Wucan spoke to the assembled warriors, "Inside here is the site for the first assessment trial — the Myriad Dragon Cavern!"

"Let's go inside, and there I will explain how to undertake the assessment trials!"

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

After speaking, God King Wucan, God King Lei Yun, and Divine Venerable Hong Zhu flew into the portal first.

"Myriad Dragon Cavern?"

Ye Chen whispered to himself and, along with countless warriors, flew into the portal.

Once through the portal, Ye Chen found they were on a corner of a vast deserted island.

As soon as he steadied himself, he heard terrifying dragon roars coming from deeper within the island.

"Is this deserted island the 'Myriad Dragon Cavern'? Could it be that there are True Dragons on this island?!"

Shock struck Ye Chen's heart.

What alarmed Ye Chen even more was that as soon as he arrived on the island, he felt as if all his True Qi was restrained, as were his Divine Soul's sensing and attacking abilities; they were all completely inhibited.

Only his physical body abilities remained available for normal use.

Ye Chen also discovered a huge list hanging in the sky above the corner where they stood — "Extreme Heaven Spirit List" was written in golden characters at the very top!
