Primordial Star Scripture

While Jiang Yao was engulfed in confusion,

if a being of immense power had looked towards the location of the sealed cave dwelling where she was, one would have seen that this sealed dwelling was situated on the very bottom of all thirty-three levels of the Undersea Divine Palace.

Jiang Yao, having obtained the first Eye of Creation on the sixth level, was directly transported by a mysterious force to the deepest, most dangerous, and also the most secret thirty-third stratum of the Undersea Divine Palace!

Furthermore, it was not just any part of the thirty-third stratum.

The cave dwelling where Jiang Yao resided was in the most secluded depths of the thirty-third stratum in the Undersea Divine Palace, a hidden void realm that was sealed off.

This void realm didn't even belong to the thirty-three strata of the Undersea Divine Palace that all martial artists aspired to explore; it seemed as if it was detached from the Undersea Divine Palace altogether!

Looking into this sealed void realm, besides the sealed cave where Jiang Yao was, there were continuous mountain peaks in existence.

At this time, ten figures were seated in meditation at the summit of the highest mountain peak in this void realm.

These ten figures were all female, and among them, nine radiated an aura similar to that which Ye Chen had encountered in Minor Pole Sky from Divine Venerable Hong Zhu.

These nine figures were actually nine Divine Venerables!

And in the center of the nine figures, there was an old crone whose aura was even more powerful than that of the nine Divine Venerables.

She was a being that had transcended the level of Divine Venerable!

All the martial artists who had been transported to the Undersea Divine Palace could never have imagined that within the most hidden void realm of the thirty-third stratum, there were nine Divine Venerables and even one existence that had surpassed the level of Divine Venerable.

Not only would all those martial artists be unaware, but even the myriad murderous life forms banished within the thirty-three levels of the Undersea Divine Palace would have no knowledge of this power hidden in the deepest areas of the thirty-third stratum.

Even the two major murderous tribes tasked with guarding the dangerous thirty-third level of the Undersea Divine Palace had no idea of such beings existing within the same realm!

At this moment, after Jiang Yao was transported into the mysterious cave dwelling, those nine Divine Venerable figures also looked towards the central figure who had transcended their level. One of them spoke up to the old crone, "Mrs. He, why have you brought that young girl into our Feathered Spirit Clan's most precious first stratum secret cave dwelling?"

The old crone surrounded by the nine Divine Venerables had a face full of wrinkles, her age unknown, but her aura was still surging and frightfully powerful.

Upon hearing the question of the female Divine Venerable, the old crone sighed and spoke, "The few of us left the Divine Beast Star Domain years ago and blundered into the Star Death Realm, fortuitously saved by Lord Emperor Yan, thus escaping from death's clasp."

"We promised to oversee the great cleansing catastrophe in the lower realm of the Thousand Veil Mountain Star Domain for three million years on behalf of Lord Emperor Yan. By my calculations, once this catastrophe is over, we will finally have fulfilled the promise we made to Lord Emperor Yan!"

Upon hearing the old crone's words, the nine female Divine Venerables showed excited expressions, "Yes, Mrs. He! Three million years, even with Lord Emperor Yan's Supreme Divine Art to alleviate the torment of time and the decay of lifespan, these years have been unbearably long!"

"We have overseen two hundred and sixty-three great cleansing catastrophes in the lower realms! Our divine avatars combated across countless lower realm stars and continents within the Thousand Veil Mountain Star Domain; we are truly exhausted!".

"Finally, finally, we are about to fulfill our promise to Lord Emperor Yan and are able to return to our Divine Beast Star Domain!"

"After millions of years, the sea turned into mulberry fields, and we don't know what's become of our Feathered Spirit Clan back in the Divine Beast Star Domain!"

Listenting to the passionate voices of the nine female Divine Venerables, the old crone nodded, "For so many years, while completing the task set by Lord Emperor Yan, his Supreme Divine Art has helped us get rid of the torment of time and the eternal decline of lifespan, and similarly, it has kept our realms sealed at the level they were at the time."

"During these years, while overseeing the great cleansing catastrophe in the lower realm, we refined countless cultivation methods, including those of our Feathered Spirit Clan and the ones we knew from other races."

"Unfortunately, we were not able to break the seal and cultivate ourselves."

"After many years of organizing and summarizing, we've made great progress in our clan's cultivation methods from the most fundamental to the most profound. We truly hope to find a suitable successor to truly practice our newly refined cultivation methods."

"Sadly, all these years, we haven't found a suitable successor!"

At this point, the old crone's gaze turned towards Jiang Yao in the sealed cave, "This young girl carries the lost bloodline of our Feathered Spirit Clan. She must be a descendant of the few members of the Divine Phoenix Clan we spared during the last great cleansing catastrophe of the Celestial Spirit Star."

"The Divine Phoenix Clan carries our Feathered Spirit Clan's lost bloodline, likely inherited from the lineage of true divine beasts that once strayed into the Thousand Veil Mountain Star Domain from our clan in the Divine Beast Star Domain."

"While we oversee the great cleansing catastrophe for Lord Emperor Yan, we absolutely cannot interfere with the Eye of the Divine Sea, but the Eye of Creation, we can actually influence. Over the years, throughout countless cleansing catastrophes in the lower realms, we have covertly aided some martial artists carrying our Feathered Spirit Clan's lost bloodline, but just as aids. These martial artists had such diluted bloodlines that they had no qualification to pass our tests to become our successors."

"Even those members of the Divine Phoenix Clan we aided during the last great cleansing catastrophe didn't meet the conditions to enter our trials."

"But this time is different!"

As she spoke, the transcendent being, the old crone, had her eyes shining with exceptional brilliance.

Seeing the change in the old woman's eyes, the nine Female Divine Venerables beside her all looked towards Jiang Yao inside the Sealed Cave Dwelling. An incredulous expression appeared on their faces, "Mrs. He, could it be that this little girl has the potential to become our successor?"

"Over the years, we have tested countless individuals, yet no one has been able to pass our trials. This little girl is so young; can she really meet our standards?"

The old woman took a deep breath and slowly said, "This young girl from the Divine Phoenix Clan, although her 'Feathered Spirit Clan' bloodline is equally thin, gives me the feeling that she is exceptionally suited to practice the arts of our 'Feathered Spirit Clan'."

"Perhaps, with our return to the 'Feathered Spirit Clan,' we can bring back a true successor of ours!"

"For many years, because we needed to eliminate the torment of time and the perpetual decline of our lifespans, our cultivation has been affected. However, if there is a suitable successor who can practice the new arts we have spent millions of years developing and summarizing, then our trip to the Wàn Mù Mountain Star Domain will not have been in vain!"

The nine Female Divine Venerables had never before seen the being in front of them, this 'Mrs. He,' who far surpassed their own cultivation, value a candidate chosen for the test of succession so highly.

For a moment, the gaze of all nine once again fell on Jiang Yao within the Sealed Cave Dwelling, their hearts filled with the same anticipation, "Can this girl truly pass our tests as Mrs. He has said, and become our successor?"

"If she truly can become our successor, then our endless journey back from the Wàn Mù Mountain Star Domain to the Divine Beast Star Domain will not be so lonely."

...

Jiang Yao had no idea that she had caught the attention of ten beings far beyond her imagination.

She was even more oblivious to the fact that at this moment, she had fallen into a destiny of immense fortune.

Jiang Yao's entire focus was on the countless glyphs inscribed on the cave walls within the Sealed Cave Dwelling.

Having been bestowed with the "Eye of Creation," and brought to this mysterious cavern, Jiang Yao knew that the voice that spoke to her must possess boundless divine power.

The voice had said that she had only half a year to comprehend the Divine Soul Secret Art "Nirvana Nine Transformations" inscribed on the walls. If she failed to penetrate its mysteries, the Eye of Creation in her possession would be reclaimed.

Of course, Jiang Yao did not want the Eye of Creation to be taken away!

She intended to use it to escape the great cataclysm, to continue being with Ye Chen; how could she simply die in this calamity?

Jiang Yao longed even more to see Ye Chen sooner!

Of course, she would make every effort to fully master the "Nirvana Nine Transformations" Divine Soul Secret Art and leave this mysterious cavern as soon as possible to find Ye Chen!

With that thought, Jiang Yao cast aside all distractions and earnestly studied the "Nirvana Nine Transformations" inscribed on the wall.

Initially, Jiang Yao had only studied the art out of necessity to meet the demands of that voice.

But once she truly began to delve into this Divine Soul Secret Art, she discovered its extraordinary and enigmatic appeal, filled with endless attraction.

Before she knew it, Jiang Yao had completely immersed herself in the state of comprehension and cultivation!

...

Ye Chen knew nothing of Jiang Yao's experiences.

He wasn't even aware that Jiang Yao had received the first Eye of Creation.

At this moment, having entered the sixth layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, a realm of flames, Ye Chen thought of the Eye of Creation that had been taken from the sixth layer and could only continue to descend deeper.

Towards the fifteenth layer of the Undersea Divine Palace that housed eight Eyes of Creation!

The first Eye of Creation had already been lost.

Ye Chen certainly did not want to lose the chance of obtaining more Eyes of Creation.

He still needed to seek as many Eyes of Creation as possible to help himself, to aid Jiang Yao, to assist the True God of the True Phoenix, and to help many others around him to escape this great cataclysm.

Every Eye of Creation had to be fought for.

Even the Eye of the Divine Sea was imperative to strive for!

With this in mind, Ye Chen, maneuvering the Heaven-reaching Divine Artifact flying boat, crossed the realm of flames of the sixth layer of the Undersea Divine Palace, continuing to search for the passageway leading to the even deeper layers.
