Primordial Star Scripture

The Heaven-reaching Bridge, with incomparable prohibitions laid upon it, forbids flying; one can only walk.

But even if flying were possible, likely no one could manage to fly across the Heaven-reaching Bridge.

Because the entire expanse of the bridge is filled with a powerful resisting aura, let alone flying, even walking would utterly immobilize many.

To be able to inch forward step by step, reaching the midpoint of the Heaven-reaching Bridge, would undoubtedly be considered miraculous.

And yet, at this moment, Ye Chen, who was striding toward the higher reaches of the bridge, truly achieved a stride as meteoric as one could imagine!

His walking pace was even faster than before!

Earlier, before commencing his cultivation preparation, Ye Chen had already traversed seventy sections, each one a myriad feet in length of the bridge's surface; he was only thirty sections—each one a myriad feet—from the Icebound Temple's Divine King's highest demand for the most complete legacy of God King Level inheritance.

At that time, even as Ye Chen faced some obstructions towards the end, he still had strength to spare.

But now, having stepped into the fourth chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture, "Primordial Beginning", and at the same time entered the Heavenly Saint Realm, Ye Chen's entire Essence, Qi, and Spirit—three major signs of life—had leaped forward again, undergoing qualitative improvement.

Challenging the Heaven-reaching Bridge, which tests the three major signs of life, he certainly had more confidence and strength than before!

Eighty sections, each a myriad feet in length!

When it took Ye Chen only the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea to traverse another ten sections, each a myriad feet, the Hall Spirit watching from below wanted to leap up in excitement.

It already knew, the person destined to inherit the Icebound Divine King's mighty legacy—this young man who kept surprising it—was on the verge of a victorious return!

Ninety sections, each a myriad feet in length!

As Ye Chen reached the highest reaches of the starry sky, nearly drowning amid the countless stars on either side of the bridge, Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi, who had been observing from within the mysterious space, all clenched their fists tightly, their hearts hanging in their throats.

They, too, were waiting for the moment their new master would meet the highest requirement!

Ninety-three sections, each a myriad feet in length!

Ninety-five sections, each a myriad feet in length!

Ninety-seven sections, each a myriad feet in length!

He was close.

The distance to meet the Icebound Divine King's highest demand, to obtain the most complete inheritance of God King Level, was becoming nearer and nearer...

As Ye Chen maintained his unslowing pace, even sprinting faintly towards the end, he finally leapt across three more sections, each a myriad feet, thoroughly traversing one hundred sections of the bridge and stepping completely into the endless stars above the Heaven-reaching Bridge, a momentary stillness fell over the entire Icebound Temple.

Then, four voices of utter surprise and joy erupted within the Icebound Temple.

They were the voices of the Hall Spirit as well as Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi!

Especially Bing Yi, who had not expected that she would cheer so for this new master she had not yet met.

She had not anticipated that her new master's perseverance could make her so concerned that, in the moment of ultimate success, she couldn't help but feel tears of excitement wanting to flow.

This was a natural attraction she felt.

Her new master had a powerful charm, an innate talent and temperament that made her unconsciously acknowledge, approve, and from the bottom of her heart, swear allegiance and admiration to this new master.

Thus, she exhibited such an uncontainable reaction!

And it wasn't just Bing Yi who felt this way; Bing Qi and Bing Wu had acknowledged Ye Chen from the bottom of their hearts quite some time before.

They even felt, their former master, the Icebound Divine King, had never been so strong, and perhaps under their witness, this new master could reach heights even their old master had not!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Amidst the boundless excitement of Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi, the shackles of their mysterious space were completely unlocked, and they flew out. Filled with intense emotion, they soared towards the direction of the Heaven-reaching Bridge, flying towards their new master, Ye Chen!

The Hall Spirit, at this moment, also lifted its head to gaze across the boundless Heaven-reaching Bridge, looking towards Ye Chen at the far end of the bridge. In its eyes, there was gratification, relief, and even more so, hope.

Its gaze ultimately shifted towards a region of the Icebound Temple as it murmured, "Old Master, your new successor is beyond all of our expectations in strength! One day, he will surely avenge you, and make you exceedingly proud of him!"

In the end, the Hall Spirit could not help but shed tears.

At the highest point of the Heaven-reaching Bridge.

After crossing a hundred sections of the bridge, each spanning ten thousand zhang, Ye Chen arrived at a platform on the far end of the bridge.

Standing in the midst of the platform, Ye Chen even felt as if he was standing within the universe itself, amidst the myriad stars!

Ye Chen also saw that, in the end, these myriad stars transformed into a faint phantom, a towering and majestic silhouette.

The moment Ye Chen saw this phantom, he knew that this person must be the master of the Icebound Temple, the Icebound Divine King!

At this moment, the phantom of the Divine King of Ice Seal also looked towards Ye Chen. A faint smile appeared on his majestic face, "Successor, seeing my phantom, my true body, must have died who knows how many years ago."

"Let me introduce myself first, my name is 'Zhou Liuxu', titled as the Icebound Divine King..."

With every sentence spoken by the "Phantom of the Icebound Divine King," a fragment would float out beside him, filled with remnants left by his true body.

As his speech concluded, the sky was filled with hundreds of these fragments.

All of these were the things the Icebound Divine King imparted to his successor at his dying moments: countless insights, realizations, gains, and summaries. In the end, all these fragments flew towards Ye Chen.

Finally, the phantom of the Icebound Divine King even produced three keys above its hand, which flew towards Ye Chen.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

After doing all this, the phantom of the Icebound Divine King began to slowly dissipate, but its final words still thundered in Ye Chen's mind, "Successor, you must carefully comprehend these fragments. They contain what I wanted to tell you. Even if they're not actual Cultivation Techniques, they will help your future growth immensely."

"These three keys correspond to three major levels of inheritance. With these three keys, the 'Heavenly Saint Level' inheritance, 'True God level inheritance,' and 'God King Level inheritance' I left for you... all of them now belong to you."

"Within these three levels of inheritance, I have prepared for you Cultivation Techniques, Divine Artifacts, and Divine Treasures, as well as the three Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts I used back in the day! And also the means to unlock the staggering wealth I left in the Divine Kingdom!"

"Successor, I am an Upper God King. Though I have fallen, I was once among the renowned powerhouses in the Divine Kingdom. I hope that you will go further than I did, reach higher than I did. If so, my passing on this legacy to you will fill me with pride! Since you have personally received the keys of inheritance from my hand, I know you definitely have a chance to achieve this!"

Even as the phantom of the Icebound Divine King was vanishing, it still spoke earnestly to Ye Chen like an elder.

Finally, the Icebound Divine King's phantom let out a sigh, "Successor, I come from the Southern Territory's 'Circulation of Heaven Divine City' within the Mountain Divine Nation of Wanmu Mountain. Should you get the chance one day, visit the Southern Territory on my behalf, to see my family, my friends, my descendants, my dearest..."

As it spoke, the voice of the Icebound Divine King's phantom grew weaker and weaker, the remaining phantom energy completely expended, and eventually, it disappeared without a trace.

Ye Chen gazed at the spot where the Icebound Divine King's phantom disappeared, silent for a long while before bowing deeply.

Then, taking the hundreds of fragments and the three keys given by the Icebound Divine King, Ye Chen was engulfed by a ray of light, and teleported back down the Heaven-reaching Bridge.

...

As soon as Ye Chen arrived at the bottom of the Heaven-reaching Bridge, before he fully recovered from the feeling of loss left by the last moments of the Icebound Divine King, he saw the Hall Spirit coming towards him, and he also saw three figures flying towards him.

These three figures, one a youth clad in fiery clothing, one a young woman in blue garments exuding a chilly aura, and another a girl dressed in snow-white attire. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire

These three were none other than Bing Qi, Bing Wu, and Bing Yi—the very people Ye Chen had long wished to meet!

"Bing Qi pays respects to the Master!"

"Bing Wu pays respects to the Master!"

The young man in fiery clothing and the young woman in blue bowed down to the ground before Ye Chen.

Both of them also produced a small box, lifting it high above their heads, "Master, this is the Heavenly Saint Level inheritance (True God level inheritance) left for you by the old Master!"

The girl in snow-white attire, who resembled a young woman, also reverently and solemnly knelt before Ye Chen after locking eyes with him for a few moments, and with a snowy-white box in her hand, she said, "Bing Yi pays respects to the Master! The highest inheritance from the old Master, the God King Level inheritance, is presented to the Master!"
