Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen bowed with cupped fists to this Sovereign Realm powerhouse, as well as to the Thousand Extremes True God beside him, "When this junior was in the True Qi Realm, I visited the 'Thousand Lotus Cave Abode' left on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent by Senior Thousand Extremes and saw his illusionary phantom. I even received great help from the illusionary phantom of Senior Thousand Extremes, so I recognize Senior Thousand Extremes."

Upon hearing Ye Chen explain his acquaintance with the Thousand Extremes True God, the Sovereign Realm powerhouse smiled and nodded, "So that's the case."

However, the complexion of the Thousand Extremes True God drastically changed as he quickly asked Ye Chen, "You've been to the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode? Have you... have you seen Lian Yue?"

"Jiang Yao and I obtained the Twin Flying Swords from the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, and we promised the illusionary phantom left in the abode that we would deal with Heavenly Saint Tuoshan when we were strong enough. Now, we have captured Heavenly Saint Tuoshan and brought him back to the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, and we have also found some medicine to help Heavenly Saint Lian Yue awaken. I'm afraid that by the time we can emerge from this great cleansing cataclysm, Heavenly Saint Lian Yue will likely have awakened!" Ye Chen said to the Thousand Extremes True God as he and Jiang Yao exchanged a glance.

While speaking, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also released their Life-bound Flying Swords, "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water," for the Thousand Extremes True God to see.

The Thousand Lotus Cave Abode was the place where Ye Chen and Jiang Yao met, and it was also the site of their first significant opportunity in martial cultivation. Encountering the true person of the Thousand Extremes True God here, they naturally had to share these matters with him!

When he saw the "Crimson Fire" and "Ghostly Water" Twin Flying Swords, the Thousand Extremes True God recognized them at a glance. Weren't they precisely the pair of flying swords he and Heavenly Saint Lian Yue had obtained back then?!

He later went to the Minor Spirit Realm to find medicinal herbs to treat Lian Yue's illness and left the Twin Flying Swords in the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, intending to leave them for someone predestined.

The Thousand Extremes True God could never have imagined that this young man and woman before him would be the ones to obtain these Twin Flying Swords!

Moreover, this young man and woman had avenged a great grudge for him by capturing Elder Tuoshan and starting to heal Lian Yue.

Thinking of Heavenly Saint Lian Yue...

The Thousand Extremes True God's breath shook slightly.

Seeing the state of the Thousand Extremes True God, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also grew intensely curious as to why he would appear in the Undersea Divine Palace and how he managed to break through to the Ninth Tribulation True God level in the Minor Spirit Realm while searching for medicinal herbs for Heavenly Saint Lian Yue.

At that moment, the Sovereign Realm powerhouse glanced at the emotionally overwhelmed Thousand Extremes True God and at the curiously looking Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, then spoke, "It turns out, you two youngsters have such a connection with my disciple."

"Speaking of which, my young disciple being able to become my apprentice also has to do with searching for medicinal herbs. During an occasional awakening while I was in seclusion, I surveyed the outside world from the depths of the Beiming Divine Sea and spotted my disciple waiting at the edge of the Beiming Divine Sea for treasures to emerge."

"At first, I thought he was just like the other treasure hunters. But decades later, when I woke again, I still found him searching for treasures, even trading the treasures he found for medicinal materials to treat injuries. It was then that I realized my disciple had come to the Beiming Divine Sea to save someone's life."

"Counting the time, it's been one hundred and twenty-four years since I brought my disciple into the Beiming Divine Sea."

When the Sovereign Realm powerhouse spoke to this point, the Thousand Extremes True God also knelt before the Sovereign Realm powerhouse, "I searched in the Minor Spirit Realm for hundreds of years, but alas, as only a Heavenly Saint, I couldn't obtain precious medicine to treat Lian Yue. I was fortunate that my master took me in as a disciple and taught me martial skills, promising that I could return after the great cleansing cataclysm ended. Furthermore, in just over a hundred years, I transformed into a Ninth Tribulation True God. Unexpectedly, now Lian Yue has been treated by these two young friends!"

Through the words of the Thousand Extremes True God and the Sovereign Realm powerhouse, Ye Chen finally learned why the Thousand Extremes True God had not shown himself before and why he appeared in the Undersea Divine Palace, having transformed into a Ninth Tribulation True God.

Apparently, he had been taken into the Beiming Divine Sea by this Sovereign Realm powerhouse more than a hundred years ago to practice cultivation with this great figure.

Rumor has it, not even God King Venerables could step into the Beiming Divine Sea where the seawater exists.

Probably no one could imagine that there was such a Sovereign Realm powerhouse in the Beiming Divine Sea, and that he also let a Heavenly Saint enter to cultivate before the great cleansing cataclysm.

Thinking of this, Ye Chen became even more curious about the identity of this Sovereign Realm powerhouse.

Ye Chen remembered that the murderous life form species in the Undersea Divine Palace only had powerhouses up to the Divine King Realm and that it was impossible for a Sovereign Realm guardian to exist there.

Ye Chen heard from Jiang Yao that Mrs. He, the Sovereign Realm powerhouse, was in the Undersea Divine Palace because she was carrying out Lord Emperor Yan's orders to preside over the great cleansing cataclysm.

Moreover, only Mrs. He and those nine Female Divine Venerables presided over the great cleansing cataclysm, with no one else.

Then who is this Sovereign Realm powerhouse? He's neither a guardian nor the one presiding over the great purge catastrophe. Who is he then, and why is he here?

Moreover, the giant sword outside said, "The Eye of the Divine Sea" is right here; what is the connection between this Sovereign Realm powerhouse and the Eye of the Divine Sea?

Ye Chen had countless doubts in his mind.

As if seeing through Ye Chen's confusion, the Sovereign Realm powerhouse smiled and said, "I am an ascetic cultivator who, in an effort to break through the Sovereign Realm, strives to reach higher levels. You may address me as 'Elder Ku Du'."

"I am not the guardian of this place. After I requested to come here to cultivate from Lord Emperor Yan, who was in charge of the Divine Kingdom's interface and the lower interface's great purge catastrophe, I was allowed in."

"Of course, I have always practiced on the thirty-second layer of the Undersea Divine Palace. This time, the Eye of the Divine Sea flowed into the thirty-second layer just as I happened to awaken, so I came here to take charge of this matter with the Eye of the Divine Sea."

"Certainly, if you go to the Divine Kingdom of the Wanmu Mountain after this, you will learn of my other identity. I was the Southern Territory King of the Wanmu Mountain's Divine Kingdom. However, the position of the Southern Territory King in the Divine Kingdom has now been passed on to my disciple. As for me, I have long since turned to Buddhism and devoted myself to arduous cultivation."

Boom!

The words of the Sovereign Realm powerhouse, Elder Ku Du, completely shocked Ye Chen.

He had not expected that this "Elder Ku Du" would turn out to be the former Southern Territory King of the Divine Kingdom. My god, doesn't that mean he was a renowned figure in the Wanmu Mountain's Divine Kingdom, just like the father of the Little Provincial Princess, the East Territory King?

No wonder he was a Sovereign Realm powerhouse!

Ye Chen also remembered that when he encountered the last mirage left by the Icebound Temple's Divine King in the main hall of the Icebound Temple, the Icebound Divine King had said that he came from the "Circulation of Heaven Divine City" in the Southern Territory of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom. He even asked Ye Chen to visit his family, friends, and descendants in the Southern Territory of the Divine Kingdom should he have the chance.

Ye Chen had not expected that now, within the Undersea Divine Palace, he would encounter the old Southern Territory King of the Divine Kingdom!

What shocked Ye Chen even more was that such a prominent figure from the Divine Kingdom chose to practice asceticism in the North Dark Divine Sea and decided to convert to Buddhism, aiming to surge towards a higher realm from the Sovereign Realm.

Renouncing the identity of the Southern Territory King and choosing thorough ascetic cultivation, as an ascetic cultivator, was indeed admirable!

"Have you, senior, managed to break through the level beyond the Sovereign Realm?" Ye Chen asked Elder Ku Du.

Elder Ku Du shook his head and chuckled, "Break through the level beyond the Sovereign Realm? That is not at all easy. I've been practicing asceticism here in the Undersea Divine Palace for millions of years and still haven't grasped that level."

"I have vowed that I would not leave the North Dark Divine Sea until I succeed in my realm breakthrough. I don't even know how many more years I will spend here."

Towards the end, Elder Ku Du's eyes did not reveal a hint of discouragement; instead, they shone with even more intensity.

Clearly, his determination would not be shaken by the lengthy fruitlessness of his cultivation!

Hearing Elder Ku Du say that he had been practicing asceticism for millions of years without a successful breakthrough, and that he intended to continue, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao looked at each other and both involuntarily clicked their tongues in wonder.

Millions of years!

This was an age beyond Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's imagination.

Although they had heard that upon reaching the Divine Venerable Realm one would possess an exceedingly long life span, for youngsters who had only been cultivating for a dozen or so years, millions of years were just too remote, and the Sovereign Realm, even more so.

How long it would take them to reach that level was still unknown.
