Primordial Star Scripture

In the next moment, when Ye Chen's vision cleared again, he found himself standing in a gigantic and astonishing plaza.

The scene before him made Ye Chen widen his eyes in disbelief.

He saw three enormous heavenly staircases appear directly to his left, right in front, and to his right. These staircases were made of stone steps in different colors, each having thousands of steps!

And above the three gigantic staircases, three supreme Divine Swords were suspended!

The staircase on the left had fiery red stone steps, and the Divine Sword suspended at the very top was the same fiery red number three Divine Sword that brought Ye Chen to this place!

The staircase on the right had snow-white stone steps, and the Divine Sword hovering at the top of these snow-white steps looked even more mysterious than the fiery red Divine Sword!

As for the staircase in the middle.

Its stone steps were taller than those on the left and right, displaying a constant shift between Yin and Yang colors. The Divine Sword suspended at the top of these central steps emitted strange black and white colors, the most mystical among them!

This sword is absolutely extraordinary, far beyond any Divine Sword Ye Chen has seen!

It gave Ye Chen a feeling of extreme mystery, as if it could devour all things in the universe!

At this moment, Ye Chen was staring at the three great heavenly staircases and the three Divine Swords above, utterly amazed.

"Why, after entering the third mountain cave to retrieve the number three Divine Sword, was I suddenly brought here? Here, there are actually three Divine Swords!"

"Especially that snow-white Divine Sword and the one flickering in black and white in the middle, they are more mysterious than the number three Divine Sword!"

A thought flashed through Ye Chen's mind.

"Could these two Divine Swords be the number two Divine Sword and the number one Divine Sword?!"

If this is truly the case.

Then why have they appeared here as well?!

While Ye Chen was in extreme shock, he was unaware that outside the cave waterfall, at this moment, Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, Chining Xiaoxiao, along with Gu Xiaozhao and the Little Child, were all shocked looking towards the waterfall, at the three mountain caves at the top of the mountain inside the waterfall!

"What's happening!"

"Why are there such anomalies at the top three mountain caves!"

Originally, Wei Xuan, Gu Xiaozhao, and others were waiting for Ye Chen who entered the number three mountain cave to retrieve the Divine Sword. However, they never imagined that shortly after Ye Chen entered the number three mountain cave, the entrance suddenly erupted with endless firelight!

This firelight, fortunately, only surrounded the entrance of the number three cave and did not spread out, otherwise, it would surely have caused a massive commotion in the entire Ancient Sword Village.

But even just releasing at the entrance, this endless firelight was extraordinarily dazzling, reaching the extreme!

And it wasn't just the number three mountain cave.

At the same time as the endless firelight emanating from the number three mountain cave, the higher number two and number one mountain caves also suddenly emitted brilliant lights, swirling at the entrances!

The light at the entrance of the number two mountain cave was startlingly snow-white Divine Light!

And the Divine Light at the entrance of the number one mountain cave was even more marvelous, presenting both black and white colors, as if all things in between Yin and Yang, heaven and earth were being swallowed and evolved within!

Ye Chen merely entered the number three mountain cave, yet it caused such earth-shattering anomalies in the number three, along with the higher number two and number one mountain caves, how could this not shock Wei Xuan and the others to the extreme?!

"What is going on!"

Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao all hastily looked towards Gu Xiaozhao.

"Could there be any danger?"

"It wouldn't affect Big Brother Ye obtaining the Divine Sword, would it?"

"The Sect Master is still inside!"

"Young friend Ye Chen, please don't let anything happen!"

Wei Xuan and the others bombarded Gu Xiaozhao, the guardian, with anxious questions.

At this time, Gu Xiaozhao was also frightened by the anomalies of the three top mountain caves. Upon hearing Wei Xuan and the others ask, Gu Xiaozhao said, somewhat flustered, "I don't know what's happening either! I've never heard of such situations occurring with these caves of the 999 Divine Swords!"

"What's going on!"

Gu Xiaozhao was also somewhat worried about Ye Chen.

After all, Ye Chen was the most miraculous genius she had ever encountered, and Gu Xiaozhao still hoped that in the future, when she left the Ancient Sword Village to explore, she could adventure across lands with Ye Chen!

Of course, she didn't want anything to happen to Ye Chen.

In her anxiety, Gu Xiaozhao even forgot to avoid Wei Xuan and the others, and directly shouted into the void, "Grandfathers, what exactly is going on in the top mountain caves!"

Gu Xiaozhao was inquiring about the three elders of the Ancient Sword Village!

At this moment, Wei Xuan also looked directly at the void, disregarding anything else, and directly spoke to the void, "My fellow Daoist, there's no need to hide any longer, please show yourselves and grant us a meeting."

"What exactly is happening in that mountain cave, we implore my fellow Daoist to tell us truthfully."

When Wei Xuan spoke sincerely, his expression was extremely serious.

It seemed that if Ye Chen were in real danger, he would certainly demand an explanation from the three elders of the Ancient Sword Village!

"Grandfathers?"

Upon hearing his sister's shout, the Little Child was also shocked, as if he had thought of something, and hurriedly looked towards the sky.

Star Lord Ning Luo and Chining Xiaoxiao likewise looked to the sky.

Under countless gazes, the three elders of the Ancient Sword Village finally stopped concealing their forms.

"There's no need to worry, my friends."

The elder leading the three spoke calmly to Wei Xuan, and led the other two elders to tear open the void and descend from Void Heaven.

"Three Supreme Star Lords?!"

When these three elders descended, Star Lord Ning Luo could only feel the overwhelmingly majestic aura emanating from the three, and she couldn't see through the realms of these elders at all, prompting her to think of one phrase immediately—Supreme Star Lord!

Only a Supreme Star Lord could make her feel this way!

Moreover, these are three Supreme Star Lords who are not injured. Speaking of their current combat power, they might even be stronger than the injured Wei Xuan!

However, at this moment, Star Lord Ning Luo is no longer concerned with being astonished by the realm of the three old men, nor does he have the time to ponder why these three elders are hiding here.

The Mysterious Place of the Ancient Sword Village having three Supreme Star Lords is no surprise.

What Star Lord Ning Luo is concerned about is what exactly is happening in those three caves at the top.

"That young friend Ye Chen is fine."

The three elders saw the anxious looks of Wei Xuan and the others, waved their hands, and said: "If not for this resonance phenomenon occurring, I would have forgotten that such a thing could even happen."

Upon hearing the three elders say that Ye Chen is fine, Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao finally felt at ease.

Gu Xiaozhao also felt a weight lift off her heart.

"Grandfathers, what on earth has happened?"

"In the past, others also attempted to retrieve the three Divine Swords at the top. Even I tried, but I've never seen such a thing happen. Why does strange light emerge from the entrances of those three caves?"

Gu Xiaozhao inquired of the three elders.

"This is the phenomenon of Divine Sword resonance."

The three elders began to explain aloud.

"The three Divine Swords at the top are supposed to require challengers to enter the caves separately and undergo the challenges to retrieve the Divine Swords."

"Throughout these many years, we've always seen only this situation occur."

"However, there's one unique exception!"

"If someone manages to retrieve more than three swords from the fourth to the tenth Divine Swords below, then this resonance among these Divine Swords is triggered, causing the three Divine Swords at the top to appear simultaneously, allowing the challenger to choose, to face the challenge!"

"This is the unique and exclusive challenge!"

"All along, no one has been able to successfully retrieve three swords from the fourth to the tenth Divine Swords. We've almost forgotten about this most special challenge, but unexpectedly, it was triggered by young friend Ye Chen this time!"

"Perhaps now, young friend Ye Chen has already seen those three Divine Swords appearing at once!"

The words of the three elders instantly turned Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao's prior worry into expressions of delight.

It wasn't a bad thing, it's a good thing?

Ye Chen is going to face the unique and exclusive challenge?!

What kind of challenge would it be?

Before the three could ask, Gu Xiaozhao had already inquired, "Grandfathers, what exactly is this exclusive and unique challenge?"

The eldest of the three elders sighed and said, "Xiaozhao, you know that among the three Divine Swords, anyone can only take one. The three Divine Swords represent three distinct paths. Without activating the exclusive challenge, you'd have to attempt them one by one, and any mistake would mean losing the opportunity to take the other two Divine Swords."

Gu Xiaozhao nodded her head.

She had once tried to take the best Divine Sword, but she failed, and afterward, she was no longer qualified for the second and third Divine Swords.

"So, Ye Chen's unique and exclusive challenge, could it mean he can take all three Divine Swords?" Gu Xiaozhao asked curiously.

The eldest of the three elders shook his head: "He can't take them all, but if the three Divine Swords appear at once, they will directly indicate to the challenger which sword he is most suited to take."

"In that case, he can focus all his efforts on retrieving the most suitable sword, and he won't have to waste his efforts trying the other two."

"Although the most suitable sword might not necessarily be successfully retrieved, it's the one with the highest chance of being taken successfully!"

"Moreover, once he finally retrieves the Divine Sword successfully, the exclusive sword reward he receives is different from others. He will directly acquire the sword he has finally taken! Instead of having the Ancient Sword Village gift him another Divine Sword!"

After the elder finished explaining, Gu Xiaozhao once again turned her gaze to the waterfall.

She murmured, "The third-ranked Divine Sword is named Parting; the second is called Ice Dust; and the first is the Heavenly Devouring Sword."

"I wonder which Divine Sword is most suitable for Ye Chen and if he can truly succeed in taking it."

"If he can only take one of them, it will certainly be one of the very best Divine Swords, far better than any Divine Sword gifted by our Ancient Sword Village!"

Indeed.

Which Divine Sword is most suitable for Ye Chen?

Which Divine Sword will he eventually take?

No one knows.

At this moment, Wei Xuan, Star Lord Ning Luo, and Chining Xiaoxiao are all infinitely curious, and even the three elders and the little child are equally curious.

Unfortunately, they cannot see the situation within the cave, and everything depends on Ye Chen's eventual result in retrieving the Divine Sword.

While everyone outside looked at the three uppermost cave entrances flashing with Divine Light, waiting.

At the gigantic plaza where Ye Chen stood, on the top of the three Heavenly Staircases with thousands of steps on the left, center, and right, the three Divine Swords suddenly emitted three brilliant beams of light.

These three beams directly illuminated Ye Chen.

A moment later.

A voice echoed directly in the gigantic plaza: "The three Divine Swords, the fiery red sword, ranked third, is named Parting, the Sword of Slaughter. Its trial is endless slaughter."

"The snow-white sword, ranked second, is named Ice Dust, the Sword of Hardship. Its trial is endless hardship."

"The black-and-white sword, ranked first, is named the Heavenly Devouring Sword, the Sword of Devouring. Its trial is the infinite devouring of space and time!"

"Out of the three Divine Swords, only one can be taken."

"Challenger, I will guide you to the Divine Sword most suitable for you! The most suitable path to venture!"

"That sword is, the Heavenly Devouring Sword."

"That path is, the path of the infinite devouring of space and time!"
