Chapter 491: Ten Thousand Feet Bridgehead, Great Accomplishment of Taiyuan
My true form was destroyed in the Lower Realm?
The great secret of the Lower Realm?
Hearing the words of the Chixiao True God, the two Five Tribulations True Gods of the Flying Spirit Clan, "Xuane" and "Xuanxu," were both shocked. When they heard Chixiao True God demand an audience with the old clan leader, they said, "The old clan leader has gone to the occupied ancient city of the Divine Phoenix Clan, 'Divine Phoenix City,' at the invitation of the old clan leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan and is not in the clan."
"It is said that the old clan leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan felt the approach of the Ninth Heavenly Tribulation and plans to break through to the Nine Tribulations True God using the 'Nirvana Pool' within Divine Phoenix City!"
"That's why he has requested the presence of our old clan leader, to assist him by protecting the law."
"What, our old clan leader has gone to Divine Phoenix City? And the old clan leader of the Vermilion Bird Clan is attempting to break through to the Nine Tribulations True God?!" Chixiao True God was stunned.
He wanted to use the possibly God King Level earth-shattering secret of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent to take revenge for Ye Chen and his three companions who had killed his true form. The best course of action would be to report the news to the old clan leader of the Flying Spirit Clan, a great Nine Tribulations True God powerhouse.
In that case, Chixiao True God was certain that, with the old clan leader's arrangements, they could definitely kill Ye Chen and the three remnants of the Divine Phoenix Clan.
Now, hearing that the old clan leader was not present, Chixiao True God did not know to whom he should report this news.
"Chixiao, although the old clan leader is not here, the young clan leader and several of the clan elders are within the Divine Mountain. We will inform them about your true form being destroyed in the Lower Realm and your request to meet the old clan leader, then see how they decide," said the two Flying Spirit Clan True Gods, Xuane and Xuanxu to Chixiao True God.
Chixiao True God nodded and saw Xuane True God transform into a shadowy figure, flying into the Divine Mountain of the Flying Spirit Clan to deliver the message.
Shortly after, a shocking voice emanated from within the Divine Mountain: "Chixiao? Come to the Divine Mountain, I have questions for you."
Boom!
The moment that voice was heard, Chixiao True God felt a powerful force envelop his entire body.
Before he could react, he completely vanished from where he stood.
And the voice that reached him, he had heard before—it was unmistakably the voice of the Flying Spirit Clan's young clan leader, who had reached the level of an Eighth Tribulations True God!
...
Icebound Temple's main hall.
Upon the Heaven-reaching Bridge.
Ye Chen was walking along the icy surface of the Heaven-reaching Bridge, heading towards the boundless starry sky above.
"This feeling..."
As he walked on the Heaven-reaching Bridge, initially Ye Chen didn't feel anything unusual about the bridge, as if he were walking on an ordinary bridge.
It wasn't until he had passed ten sections, each a ten thousand feet long, walking a total of sixty thousand li on the Heaven-reaching Bridge, that Ye Chen didn't detect anything amiss.
Passing ten sections each ten thousand feet long on the Heaven-reaching Bridge meant that Ye Chen had met the first requirement of the Icebound Divine King and he could directly receive the first part of the Icebound Divine King's Heavenly Saint Level legacy.
The fact that he had encountered no trouble was, of course, strange to Ye Chen.
While Ye Chen found this peculiar, the Hall Spirit watching over Ye Chen's progress through the Heaven-reaching Bridge was already quite surprised.
"The Heaven-reaching Bridge, although I do not know how the old master designed it, it should not be this easy to traverse! Lord Ye Chen seems to be walking as if he's not facing any obstructions at all!"
"When Ice One asked me about Lord Ye Chen's assessment in the Icebound Temple's Sub Palace, after hearing about Lord Ye Chen's performance, Ice One also offered nothing but praise for Lord Ye Chen. However, when she mentioned that Lord Ye Chen was to cross the Heaven-reaching Bridge, she said that he would start facing trials from the very first barrier."
"Ice One is someone who knows the true methods of testing the Heaven-reaching Bridge, so her word is definitely not wrong."
"Could it be that, after Lord Ye Chen left the Sub Palace of the Icebound Temple, he made great progress, which is why he now finds traversing the Heaven-reaching Bridge so effortless?"
"It must be so!"
"When Lord Ye Chen left the Sub Palace of the Icebound Temple, he was merely at the initial phase of Rotating Pill, but now he has advanced to the later phase of Rotating Pill!"
Although the Hall Spirit didn't know that after Ye Chen left the Sub Palace of the Icebound Temple, he had gone on an adventure to Five Elements Mountain and received countless opportunities from the Five Elements Mountain, being transported from there to the Minor Pole Sky training ground, where he obtained the chance to train left by a Divine Venerable Level character.
But the Hall Spirit had guessed that Ye Chen was now fundamentally different from the time he had left the Sub Palace of the Icebound Temple!
While the Hall Spirit was shocked and speculating, Ice One, Ice Seven, and Ice Five, who were hidden in a mysterious space and had been observing Ye Chen crossing the Heaven-reaching Bridge, were also surprised at how easily Ye Chen was traversing the bridge.
They had not expected Ye Chen to be able to walk this easily on the Heaven-reaching Bridge.
"It seems that this new master is truly extraordinary," said Ice One, who was dressed in a snow-white gown and had taken on the appearance of a young girl, her eyes shining brightly as she watched Ye Chen.
She shifted from a casual to a formal seated posture, with eyes fixed on Ye Chen, not blinking an eyelash.
Seeing Ice One's manner, Ice Seven and Ice Five also watched Ye Chen with greater seriousness.
On the Heaven-reaching Bridge.
It was not until he had walked over twenty sections, each ten thousand feet long, and had come to the true height of the void, that Ye Chen began to sense something peculiar about the Heaven-reaching Bridge. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
At this point on the bridge, strange repulsion forces seemed to be coming at him, as if trying to prevent him from proceeding further.
The repulsive force was created by a mysterious aura, one that Ye Chen found hauntingly familiar, akin to the aura he sensed while cultivating in the Minor Pole Sky, from the first to the third training sites.
When Ye Chen crossed this inexplicable barrier, he felt a slight enhancement in all three major life vital signs of Essence, Qi, and Spirit.
"This Heaven-reaching Bridge truly relates to the three major life vital signs of Essence, Qi, and Spirit."
"Here, the mysterious aura that hinders my advance, if one's strength isn't sufficient, will block me; yet, if it is enough, can enhance my life vital signs."
"Clearly, this Heaven-reaching Bridge is not just a test for obtaining the inheritance but is also a place greatly beneficial for cultivation."
"The Ice Sealed Divine King left behind this Heaven-reaching Bridge, apparently not solely to challenge the inheritors but also to provide a unique opportunity!"
With this in mind, Ye Chen pushed forward even more determinedly.
He intended to pass through a hundred sections of the Ten Thousand Feet Bridge to obtain the Ice Sealed Divine King's legacy and to take away powerful allies Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi; he certainly would not give up.
Now, the Heaven-reaching Bridge was even bringing him benefits, which naturally spurred Ye Chen to proceed further!
Ye Chen knew the immense advantage of enhancing the life vital signs of Essence, Qi, and Spirit. His physical body's life vital sign was in the midst of cultivating the Undying Divine Body and desperately needed uplifting. His True Qi life vital sign was only a step away from fully mastering the third chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, and of course, he wished to elevate it!
Even Ye Chen's Divine Soul life vital sign, which he felt was immensely beneficial after cultivating the Destruction Eye Skills, he naturally wanted to raise as well.
Forward!
Ye Chen continued to advance!
The obstruction posed around the twentieth segment of the Ten Thousand Feet Bridge was minuscule for Ye Chen, and he certainly would not be stopped.
Even as Ye Chen progressed further, reaching beyond the fiftieth segment, qualifying him for the "True God level inheritance," the second part of the Ice Sealed Divine King's legacy, he did not feel fatigued while walking on the Heaven-reaching Bridge under the hindrance of the mysterious aura.
Meanwhile, in the mysterious space, Bing Qi and Bing Wu, who had been watching Ye Chen's progress on the Heaven-reaching Bridge, had already stood up!
Ye Chen's passage of the fiftieth segment on the Ten Thousand Feet Bridge signified that he had the right to lead Bing Qi and Bing Wu out of the main hall of the Icebound Temple.
This naturally thrilled Bing Qi and Bing Wu to no end!
After Bing Qi and Bing Wu stood up, Bing Yi's heart pounded even faster.
"Looking at this, our new master might indeed be capable of directly crossing the hundred segments of the Heaven-reaching Bridge!"
Having served the Ice Sealed Divine King, Bing Yi was one of the Divine King's most valued subordinates, and she knew all too well the difficulty of crossing the Heaven-reaching Bridge.
Based on the Ice Sealed Divine King's instructions when he was at death's door, he had even suggested that the inheritor might initially be weak and unable to complete the bridge in one go, advising Bing Yi to keep waiting for the inheritor to grow stronger before fully handing over the God King's Legacy.
Now, it seemed the Ice Sealed Divine King had miscalculated.
The young man receiving his legacy had become strong beyond the Divine King's predictions!
While Bing Qi and Bing Wu watched Ye Chen with excitement, and Bing Yi with a racing heart, Ye Chen continued to trek the Heaven-reaching Bridge. Reaching a depth of over four thousand miles at the seventieth section, he suddenly stopped.
Ye Chen's abrupt halt alarmed the Hall Spirit, Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi, who had been closely observing him.
"What's the matter?"
"Lord Ye Chen (our new master), he doesn't seem exhausted at all, why did he suddenly stop?"
While the Hall Spirit, Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi were confused and somewhat concerned, Ye Chen, who had stopped at the seventy-thousand-foot bridgehead, simply sat down to meditate.
Ye Chen wasn't too tired to walk.
Instead, after accumulating the enhancement of the mysterious aura of the Heaven-reaching Bridge over seventy sections for his Essence, Qi, and Spirit, Ye Chen finally reached the ultimate level of the Primordial Star Scripture's third chapter, the Taiyuan Chapter, that he had long yearned for!
Inside Ye Chen's Qi Sea, the Taiyuan Divine Pill, atop which the Five Great Divine Arts had finally reached a tenfold perfection in cultivation level through the stimulus of the mysterious aura!
The Taiyuan Divine Pill had already reached Great Accomplishment in the Minor Pole Sky.
The Five Great Divine Arts had now finally achieved the same.
The Primordial Star Scripture's Taiyuan Chapter stated that once both the internal skill "Taiyuan Divine Pill" and the external skill "Five Great Divine Arts" reached Great Accomplishment, it would be time to unlock the fourth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.
Now, that moment had finally arrived!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Sitting cross-legged at the seventy-thousand-foot height on the Heaven-reaching Bridge, Ye Chen appeared tranquil from the outside, but within his Qi Sea, the Star Tower, which towered over and anchored his Qi Sea, finally stirred again after the previous opening of the third chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture.
Rumble!
Amidst thunderous roars,
The Star Tower once again attracted the entirety of Ye Chen's Mind and Spirit, fully drawing it into the tower.
He was taken to the fourth layer of the Star Tower!
Following the acquisition of the first chapter "Gang Yuan Chapter" from the first layer, the second chapter "Primordial Chapter" from the second layer, and the third chapter "Taiyuan Chapter" from the third layer of the Star Tower, Ye Chen finally had the opportunity to obtain the even mightier fourth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture!
