Primordial Star Scripture

Become the chosen one of the great Divine King's legacy!

The words of the Sub Palace Hall Spirit filled Ye Chen with a surging passion.

Ye Chen, of course, desired to obtain the inheritance of a God King level individual. Once he gained such inheritance, coupled with his Primordial Star Scripture, the swordsmanship and Divine Arts of his Beiming God Clan, the Nine Transformation Fighting Body, and other techniques, Ye Chen's assault on even more formidable strengths would be much more assured.

By then, not to mention the ten Demon Sects of the Western Wilderness, even if faced with the invasion of the Divine Phoenix Clan by the Vermilion Bird Clan and the Flying Spirit Clan, Ye Chen was confident in enhancing his power to confront them!

By then, to completely resolve the blood feud and mortal enemies of the Southern Territory, to thoroughly avenge Jiang Yao, was no longer a fantasy!

This, of course, filled Ye Chen with excitement and anticipation.

But Ye Chen also knew that the inheritance of the Divine King was definitely not something so easily obtained. The fact that no one qualified for the inheritance in the thirty thousand years since the God King's fall indicated the difficulty of obtaining this inheritance.

Not to mention breaking into the main hall of the Divine King, even the assessment of this Sub Palace had to be cautiously dealt with first!

"Lord Hall Spirit, what is the assessment of this Icebound Temple Sub Palace? What must I do to pass this assessment?" Ye Chen calmed his mind and asked the Sub Palace Hall Spirit.

The voice of the Sub Palace Hall Spirit echoed down: "The assessment for the Icebound Temple Sub Palace is divided into three major stages."

"The first stage is to break into the Nine Nether Pond outside the Sub Palace and pass the skeletal age and realm test. Only those who meet the genius-level requirements set by the master can pass. You have already passed this stage."

"The assessments of the second and third stages are related to the cultivation patterns on the walls and dome of this Sub Palace."

The words of the Hall Spirit made Ye Chen's gaze immediately sweep towards the walls and the dome of the great hall once again, scanning the eight hundred and ten intricate and mysterious human sitting and cultivating patterns.

"These eight hundred and ten cultivation patterns represent the eight hundred and ten foundational techniques of the master's core cultivation technique, the 'Icebound Divine Body'. The second stage assessment requires you to learn these foundational eight hundred and ten techniques within three years, to successfully lay the foundation for cultivating the Icebound Divine Body!"

"Only after learning these eight hundred and ten techniques will you not be killed when you enter the main hall of the Icebound Temple in the future, and you will have the qualifications to obtain the master's true inheritance!"

Three years, to learn the foundational eight hundred and ten techniques of the "Icebound Divine Body" described by these eight hundred and ten patterns?!

Ye Chen was inwardly shocked.

What surprised Ye Chen was not the cultivation itself, but the time for cultivation.

If it was required for him to learn these foundational eight hundred and ten techniques in three years, wouldn't that mean he might spend about three years in this Sub Palace?

Three years!

This time, when he left the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he only planned to be gone for about a month, never thinking of being delayed outside for three years. This Icebound Temple Sub Palace was evidently not a place where messages could be sent out. If he was delayed here for three years, by the time he returned to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Ye Chen didn't know what state of worry Jiang Yao would be in.

Moreover, according to what Fairy Jia Luo had told him when he arrived in the Central Region, it was very possible for the great war between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness to erupt in a few months. If he were to leave after three years, he would have no idea what the situation would be like; if Ye Chen wanted to help, it might be too late to contribute to the Southern Territory, which was of course undesirable to him!

Three years was too long!

"Lord Hall Spirit, does the second stage of the assessment really take about three years? I have very important matters to attend to, and I cannot afford such a long delay!" Ye Chen said.

The Sub Palace Hall Spirit replied indifferently, "The second stage of the assessment is based on learning these eight hundred and ten cultivation secret patterns and successfully laying the foundation for the 'Icebound Divine Body.' If your talent is strong enough, perhaps you won't need three years to complete the cultivation."

"Of course, as the master said, even the most talented individuals would likely need at least two years to learn these eight hundred and ten patterns. Being able to complete the cultivation within three years would already be considered the pinnacle of genius."

"Intruder, the issue you should consider is not whether three years is a long time, but whether you can learn this Cultivation Technique within these three years! The trial of the Divine King's legacy is not so easy to handle. According to the master's settings, if you cannot learn this technique within three years, there is only one outcome awaiting you, and that is to be annihilated!"

"The master's legacy involves many great secrets that absolutely cannot be leaked. If you don't succeed, annihilation is the only outcome! Even erasing your memory might not suffice, as other Great Powerholders could use strange methods to restore it. The master would never take such a risk. Therefore, you can only survive if you pass the second phase of the trial within three years!"

The words of the Sub Palace's Hall Spirit made Ye Chen's heart leap.

Ye Chen recalled that when he had passed the first phase of the selection earlier, the Sub Palace's Hall Spirit had mentioned that he was not annihilated because he met the standards.

Now it seemed that not only was the first phase a life-and-death challenge, but all subsequent tests were as well.

If you don't succeed, there's only the path of demise!

As Ye Chen pondered the next two major stages of the trial with a solemn expression, the Sub Palace's Hall Spirit's voice softened, "However, intruder, the three years of testing time is set by the Icebound Temple, not by your Barbaric Wilderness Continent's time."

"My master, the great Divine King, has mastered the complete Time Law and Space Law, and is a Great Powerholder who can traverse the barriers of starry skies and time. The Icebound Temple's Sub Palace left by him naturally contains methods to manipulate the time flow rate."

"The time flow rate here is a hundred times faster than that of your Barbaric Wilderness Continent, as stated by the master! You cultivate here for a hundred days, and only one day will have passed outside. This is also an opportunity that the master has bestowed upon you intruders!"

Time flow rate a hundred times faster!

Ye Chen was completely stunned.

Ye Chen had also entered spaces with different time flow rates before, such as the Ancient God Tower in the Ancestral Land Secret Realm and the Divine Weapon - Fallen Sword that he entered at the Tai'a Sword Sect, where the time flow was tenfold.

At that time, in the tenfold time flow rate space, Ye Chen could feel the difference in the time flow rate, and his body even had some extra reactions. Now, he did not feel any difference in the time flow rate in this Sub Palace of the Icebound Temple, so Ye Chen never imagined that it had a hundredfold time flow rate!

Divine King!

The master of this Icebound Temple indeed lived up to the existence of a God King Level, a Great Powerholder who controlled the complete Time Laws!

Just from the feeling and multiple of this time flow rate alone, it far surpassed the Void Sky True God who created the Ancient God Tower and Fallen Sword!

Ye Chen's heart surged with excitement. If it truly was a hundredfold time flow rate, then it meant that even if he cultivated here for three years, only eleven days would pass outside!

In that case, he wouldn't waste too much time here, and he could also use the three years to substantially improve his strength!

Ye Chen needed to remember that from the True Qi Realm to his current Rotating Pill Realm, considering the opportunities of different time flow rates, he had cultivated for only three to four years in total.

If he successfully passed the tests here, not to mention the chance to gain the God King's Legacy, just the three years of cultivation would be enough for Ye Chen to make significant gains.

Even if he had to fully dedicate himself to learning the "Icebound Divine Body" fundamental 810 forms and couldn't concentrate solely on True Qi Cultivation, he might still be able to greatly enhance his Taiyuan Divine Pill and the combat power of the Five Great Divine Arts in three years!

Of course, all this assumes that he first passes the second and third stages of the trial, because failure would result in only one outcome: annihilation.

With this in mind, Ye Chen suppressed his excitement and asked the Hall Spirit of the Sub Palace, "Hall Spirit, the second phase of the trial involves fully mastering the 810 fundamental Secret Maps of the Icebound Divine Body. What then is the third phase of the trial?"

Ye Chen clearly remembered the Hall Spirit mentioning that there were three major stages of the trial in total.

The Sub Palace's Hall Spirit replied, "After you complete the second phase of the trial and successfully lay the foundation for the Icebound Divine Body, the third phase will be to withstand the irradiation of the Icebound Divine Light and battle the Icebound Guardians left by the master. If you break through the Icebound Guardians, it means you truly qualify to receive the news about the master's main Icebound Temple. At that time, you can go to the main temple as a successor and receive the master's true legacy!"

"The third phase of the trial will not take too much time, the battle against the Icebound Guardians will last for three days."
