Primordial Star Scripture

This Sky-reaching Divine Stone stood over eight hundred zhang tall.

After Xiaojiu and Shuang'er landed on it, they saw Ye Chen and Jiang Yao following behind them, also descending onto the Divine Stone. They flashed a light smile, then flew down from the Divine Stone and landed on a huge stone platform where the Sky-reaching Divine Stone was situated.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao examined the Divine Stone under their feet and saw rings of patterns spreading downwards, dividing the Divine Stone into nine parts.

The thought struck them both: "Could this be the 'Nine Spirits Stone'?"

Following Xiaojiu and Shuang'er, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also flew from the Divine Stone, landing on the stone platform.

"You two are indeed quite formidable!" Seeing Ye Chen and Jiang Yao descend, Shuang'er's eyes shone brightly as she looked at them.

"My sister and I were born from a Raw Stone, and though we are not old, as natural Soul Beasts, we were born with unusual strength. Our speed is such that ordinary Nine Tribulation True Gods can't keep up, yet you were able to follow us without falling behind at all!" Read the latest on My Virtual Library Empire

Shuang'er exclaimed in admiration.

Xiaojiu, standing nearby, also had sparkling eyes as she looked at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

She felt that perhaps welcoming these two young Martial Artists to Divine Flame Mountain was indeed a correct decision.

Perhaps, these two truly had sufficient strength, worthy of her and her sister leaving the Undersea Divine Palace, to accompany them, and explore the world outside thoroughly!

"However, everything still depends on passing the 'Nine Spirits Stone' test!"

Xiaojiu whispered to herself.

Then, Xiaojiu pointed to the eight-hundred-zhang-tall Sky-reaching Divine Stone in front of them and said to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, "This one, is the 'Nine Spirits Stone'."

"Throughout the years, despite many great purges and calamities, numerous people have come here to undergo the test, attempting to take away a Nine Spirits Sparrow, but almost no one has managed to activate the nine layers of Spiritual Light in the 'Nine Spirits Stone' which is the most difficult task."

"Next, the level of the Nine Spirits Sparrow you can take from Divine Flame Mountain will depend on your strength."

Hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao took a few steps closer to the "Nine Spirits Stone" and examined it more closely.

Jiang Yao even asked aloud, "How can we activate the Spiritual Light of this Nine Spirits Stone? Do we imbue it with True Qi, or…"

Xiaojiu said, "It's very simple. Infuse the combat power you've cultivated from your Essence, Qi, and Spirit—the three major Signs of Life—into the 'Nine Spirits Stone.' The stronger your three Signs of Life, the more Spiritual Light the Nine Spirits Stone will activate."

"As long as you meet a certain standard, you can activate the most difficult nine layers of Spiritual Light!"

Infuse combat power cultivated from the three major Signs of Life?

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both nodded their understanding.

Ye Chen wasn't too worried, for he had endured a test of the Essence, Qi, and Spirit Signs of Life in the Minor Pole Sky, even comparing well to the descendants of the Great Powerholders from the Divine Kingdom, like the Little Provincial Princesses.

Moreover, during this time, he had transformed the techniques related to these three Signs of Life into combat power. Even the weakest Divine Soul technique, through the "Nine Swords of Annihilation," had become part of his combat ability.

He was fairly confident about this "Nine Spirits Stone" challenge.

As long as the difficulty wasn't inconceivably high, Ye Chen was confident that if anyone in the Minor Spirit Realm or the thirty-three continents had ever activated the nine layers of Spiritual Light, he could too!

Ye Chen was, however, somewhat concerned about Jiang Yao.

Of course, he hoped Jiang Yao would also activate the nine layers of Spiritual Light and successfully obtain the most valuable Nine-patterned Spirit Bird—the Nine Spirit Sparrow Emperor.

However, if Jiang Yao didn't possess sufficient techniques pertaining to Essence, Qi, and Spirit, then it would be difficult for her to pass this type of test.

"Yao'er, is everything okay?" Ye Chen asked, looking into Jiang Yao's beautiful eyes.

Gazing toward the Nine Spirits Stone, Jiang Yao smiled lightly and nodded at Ye Chen, "No problem."

Immediately, the two of them approached the Nine Spirits Stone.

"Ye Chen, you go first," Jiang Yao said with a smile to Ye Chen.

Ye Chen nodded: "Alright."

After taking a deep breath, Ye Chen placed his palm firmly against the Nine Spirits Stone.

The Nine Spirits Stone challenge!

If he could activate all nine layers of Spiritual Light, he would be able to take away the most precious Nine Spirit Sparrow Emperor, and that would mean completing over half of the task for the thirty-third level!

The rest would be to find those fourteen Eyes of Creation!

Ye Chen suspected that Xiaojiu and Shuang'er might know where they are.

He had not asked yet, waiting instead until he and Jiang Yao had sufficient strength to get Xiaojiu and Shuang'er to follow them before inquiring.

By then, Xiaojiu and Shuang'er would surely not hide anything from him and Jiang Yao.

"Whether it's the Nine Spirit Sparrow Emperor or the Eyes of Creation, let's get through this Nine Spirits Stone challenge first!"

After muttering to himself, Ye Chen's eyes suddenly burst with Divine Light, and his hand that was touching the Nine Spirits Stone suddenly filled with unparalleled combat power.

This overwhelming power included the might of the Undying Divine Body, the force of the Icebound Divine Body, and the power of his Divine Soul transformed into the Nine Swords of Annihilation.

There was also the Stellar Power from practicing the Primordial Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

As the combat power poured into the Nine Spirits Stone, a thunderous roar echoed from it. Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, Xiaojiu, and Shuang'er then saw the Spirit Stones from the lowest part of the Nine Spirits Stone beginning to light up, followed by the second, the third, the fourth... layer by layer, the stones started to shine brilliantly.

Hum!

In an instant, the entire Nine Spirits Stone, divided into nine separate regions, lit up completely!

The towering Sky-reaching Divine Stone, over eight hundred zhang tall, deep within the Divine Flame Mountain, shrouded in endless fog, emitted a dazzling divine light that captured everyone's attention.

All nine regions of the Spirit Stone were illuminated.

This undeniably symbolized that all nine layers of Spiritual Light of the Nine Spirits Stone had been activated!

Seeing this development, Xiaojiu and Shuang'er's eyes sparkled with an unprecedented brilliance.

Seeing this development, Jiang Yao unclenched her small fists, her face breaking into a smile.

Seeing this development, Ye Chen, who had his palm on the Nine Spirits Stone, also let out a sigh of relief, thinking to himself, "My Stellar Power has not entirely been poured in, yet the Nine Spirits Stone has already activated all nine layers of Spiritual Light. It seems this test isn't as difficult as I thought."

Xiaojiu and Shuang'er did not hear the sighs of Ye Chen.

Otherwise, they would have been even more astonished by Ye Chen's true strength.

Xiaojiu and Shuang'er were well aware of the difficulty of this test.

Not only Xiaojiu and Shuang'er knew about the challenge, but all the Nine Spirits Sparrows of their clan were aware of its difficulty.

At this moment, seeing the nine layers of Spiritual Light emitting from the Nine Spirits Stone in the endless foggy depths of Divine Flame Mountain, those Nine Spirits Sparrows who were still behind and hadn't arrived yet, all stopped in shock, floating in the void, exclaiming, "Nine layers of Spiritual Light! Just now, those two people, someone activated all nine layers of Spiritual Light!"

Even those Nine Spirits Sparrows who hadn't flown deeper into Divine Flame Mountain were shaken upon seeing the nine layers of Spiritual Light from deep within. Their eyes revealed a look of awe, "Nine layers of Spiritual Light, does this mean someone is going to take the Sparrow Emperor away from here?"

Ye Chen, unaware of the Nine Spirits Sparrows' astonishment, saw that all nine layers of Spiritual Light had been emitted from the Nine Spirits Stone and asked Xiaojiu and Shuang'er, "Does this mean I've passed the test?"

"Passed, of course, you've passed!" Shuang'er immediately jumped in front of Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, you activated the most difficult nine layers of Spiritual Light, whether it's my sister or me, you can take whoever you want to leave!"

Xiaojiu also looked at Ye Chen with some anticipation.

She had been full of hope for Ye Chen, who had obtained the "Eye of the Divine Sea" from the 32nd layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, and now that Ye Chen had proven his strength at the Nine Spirits Stone, she naturally wanted to follow him and venture outside the Undersea Divine Palace!

Otherwise, her batch of Nine Spirits Sparrows would only be able to cultivate within the Undersea Divine Palace and wouldn't even be able to participate in the next Great Purge Catastrophe.

After all, by the time of the next Great Purge Catastrophe, the Raw Stone would have nurtured a new batch of Nine Spirits Sparrows.

Xiaojiu was not willing to stay in one place and cultivate every day like the older members of her clan.

She wanted to see the world, to witness the true nature of the various Divine Kingdoms as described in the knowledge imparted by Lord Emperor Yan.

Upon hearing from Shuang'er that he had passed the test, Ye Chen finally removed his palm from the Nine Spirits Stone.

However, he did not immediately respond to the expectant looks from Shuang'er and Xiaojiu about his selection.

He wanted to wait for Jiang Yao to finish her test.

"Yao'er, it's your turn to take the test," Ye Chen said to Jiang Yao gently, "After your test, we'll discuss choosing between them."

Jiang Yao nodded her head, smiled softly, and walked toward the Nine Spirits Stone.

As Jiang Yao placed her delicate palm on the Nine Spirits Stone, Ye Chen felt a surge of nervousness, and not just him, Xiaojiu, and Shuang'er were also somewhat anxious.

"This Jiang Yao, she isn't the one who got the Eye of the Divine Sea, so I wonder if she can activate all nine layers of Spiritual Light," Shuang'er thought, "If she can't, then one of my sister and me will have to stay behind on Divine Flame Mountain."

"However, this Jiang Yao is so intimately close with Ye Chen; she must be very formidable too."

While Shuang'er was lost in her thoughts, she saw the Nine Spirits Stone in front of Jiang Yao begin to light up layer by layer.

Finally, like Ye Chen, all nine layers of the Nine Spirits Stone were illuminated, radiating a resplendent glow!

"Nine layers of Spiritual Light!"

"Another nine layers of Spiritual Light!"

Shuang'er jumped with excitement, while Xiaojiu and Ye Chen also heaved a sigh of relief.

In the distance, the other Nine Spirits Sparrows, who had just been shocked by Ye Chen activating all nine layers of Spiritual Light, were taken aback again, "A second nine layers of Spiritual Light?!"

"Do both of those young people have the ability to activate the most challenging nine layers of Spiritual Light?!"

After completing the test, Jiang Yao turned around, smiling as she winked at Ye Chen, "How about that, Ye Chen? I've made quite a lot of progress training with Grandma, haven't I?"

"A lot of progress!" Ye Chen nodded with a smile, "It seems I need to train in the Divine Institutes of the Divine Kingdom even more, otherwise, I will soon be left behind by you."

As Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged smiles, they both let out a sigh of relief.

They knew that, with the end of this test on the Nine Spirits Stone, their goal for the 33rd layer, and perhaps even the entire Undersea Divine Palace, was close to completion.

At that moment, Shuang'er could not contain herself any longer. She chuckled and asked Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, "Both of you are so powerful. Tell us, who's going to choose me, and who's going to choose my sister?"
