Primordial Star Scripture

Ye Chen nodded towards these few people, and smiled at the others. Then, without wasting any more time at the edge of the sea island, "boom", he flew up into the sky.

Moments later, he disappeared from everyone's view.

Only after Ye Chen had completely vanished did the others take a deep breath and looked at each other. Without speaking, they each flew towards different directions of the Fourth Sea Island.

A short while later, the landing spot on the island was left with only Wang Luocheng, who still stood there foolishly with his Spirit Sea shattered.

After flying hundreds of miles above the sea island, Ye Chen stopped in mid-air.

He opened his hand and examined the black pearl that had transformed from the wooden token on Wang Luocheng's body.

When Ye Chen defeated Wang Luocheng, the wooden token flew towards him and turned into a black pearl. Ye Chen found it odd, but through the information conveyed by the black pearl, he finally understood why the wooden token had become a black pearl.

It turns out that besides guiding adventurers in ancient tombs, the wooden token had a hidden function. If the holder of the token was killed or had their cultivation completely crippled, the token would turn into a black pearl and fly into the hands of the victor, and guide them to a treasure trove for them to seek out treasures!

This black pearl was the guide to the location of such a treasure!

And the black pearl Ye Chen had obtained was guiding him to a secret treasure site known as "Fire Elemental Spring".

Although he should have been pleased to accidentally obtain the clue to the secret treasure site, Ye Chen felt an unpleasant premonition!

That was, he always had the feeling that there was something inexplicably weird about these ancient tombs!

Long before entering the tomb, Ye Chen had heard Fairy Jia Luo recount many things about Heavenly Saint Linghua. Fairy Jia Luo had said that Linghua was extremely kind-hearted.

This extremely kind-hearted Heavenly Saint Linghua also cultivated the "Metal, Wood" Heavenly Void Laws!

However, after entering the tomb, when everyone was divided into ten groups to venture through ten sea islands, Ye Chen felt that the arrangement within the tomb seemed to have more to do with the "Water, Earth" Heavenly Void Laws!

It simply didn't seem like the work of Linghua's laws!

About the Heavenly Void Law, Ye Chen had only learned some from Fairy Jia Luo, and even if he had suspicions, he dared not be certain.

But when he defeated Wang Luocheng and received the peculiar "black pearl", a vague intuition in Ye Chen's heart suggested that everyone might have been mistaken about the tomb; it might not have been left by Heavenly Saint Linghua after all.

Because even if Heavenly Saint Linghua were to leave behind a treasure, he would not have used such a method to make people fight over it. The concept that one could get clues about the treasure by killing others or crippling their cultivation would undoubtedly lead to a bloody and endless battle once discovered by those exploring the tomb.

And with the competition for places to enter the central giant island, the inevitable struggle and discovery of the secret of the treasure clues would be unavoidable!

Following this method of tomb exploration, in the end, a great many people who entered the tomb would surely die!

This method was clearly not something that the extremely kind-hearted Heavenly Saint Linghua would leave for the tomb explorers of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom.

"Could it be that everyone was wrong, and this is not the tomb of Heavenly Saint Linghua?"

"Then whose tomb could it be?"

Thinking of these questions, Ye Chen's expression turned grave.

Ye Chen looked up at the gloomy sky, at the vast sea beyond the islands. Beyond the weirdness of the tomb, he was even more concerned about Jiang Yao, who was currently on one of the other islands!

If someone on the island where Jiang Yao was located discovered the secret of the black pearl treasure and went to kill others for it, Jiang Yao could be in danger.

And Ye Chen, unable to fly to the other islands due to the flying restriction, could not go to help Jiang Yao!

"Hopefully, nothing happens."

"Jiang Yao's Bloodline Secret Skills have reached the Second Transformation, and her strength is not much different from other Half-Step Rotating Pills as long as she doesn't face a group attack from several Half-Step Rotating Pills, she'll be fine."

"Besides, she has her Flying Sword Skills."

"If..."

Considering a possibility, Ye Chen's eyes filled with deep killing intent.

"If anyone really targets her, forces her to sustain injuries within the island, no matter how many people there are, when we meet at the central giant island, I'll make them deeply regret it!"

Gazing at the endless sea, Ye Chen's eyes sparkled with determination.

After a while, Ye Chen lowered his head again.

He clenched the black pearl in his hand, "No matter how peculiar this ancient tomb is, no matter what else we encounter, strength is the most important. Since this black pearl is related to the treasure, let's first check out the place where the treasures are!"

"'Fire Elemental Spring', this black pearl said this spring is profoundly mysterious, let's witness it!"

Ye Chen's figure moved and turned into a streak of light that, following the guidance on the black pearl, flew toward the west of the Fourth Sea Island.

Just after Ye Chen uncovered the secret of the black pearl, chaos also erupted on the other islands.

On the Third Sea Island, Fairy Nishang of the Moon Concealing Sect was holding three black pearls in her hand, and beside her lay the corpses of three Half-Step Rotating Pill experts.

"Treasure black pearls?"

"I didn't expect that after being surrounded and attacked by three Half-Step Rotating Pill experts from the Cloud Sky Sect, I would obtain these three black pearls after slaying them."

"Black pearls, the treasure location, this ancient tomb really has some odd tricks, combining clues to the treasures with murder."

Fairy Nishang also furrowed her brows.

After a while, she sighed, "Forget it, let's go see these treasure locations first!"

As she murmured to herself, as if vanishing into thin air, Fairy Nishang disappeared.

The Eighth Sea Island, that was where Jiang Yao was located.

At this moment, in a valley on the island, with black hair cascading down like a waterfall, the clear and stunningly beautiful Jiang Yao's clear eyes were filled with anger.

In the sky, a few hundred meters away from her, were three Half-Step Rotating Pill experts closing in on her from three different directions.

"Little girl, just accept your death willingly!"

"Blame only yourself for the wooden token in your hands, it contains a treasure black pearl, and we three will not miss any treasures!"

The three Half-Step Rotating Pill experts sneered as they closed in on Jiang Yao, rotating the black pearls in their hands.

At this moment, two of the three men each had a treasure black pearl, clearly, they had already made their move to kill or cripple two other people!

Trapped within the encirclement of the three, Jiang Yao looked up at the three Half-Step Rotating Pill experts in the sky, her angry eyes gradually dissipating, turning into a resolute expression.

"I didn't expect such a situation as soon as I entered the ancient tomb."

"Even if it costs me bloodline damage, even if my life-bound Flying Sword skills diminish, I won't give up!"

"I still have to meet Ye Chen at the central giant island, he will definitely be waiting for me at the central sea island!"

Thinking of this, an ice-blue Spiritual Pattern suddenly emerged on Jiang Yao's forehead.

Clearly, Jiang Yao was preparing to make her move!

"Still hoping to struggle in your dying breath?"

"Naive little girl, you're too naive!"

"All three of us are strong Half-Step Rotating Pill experts from the Flame Sect, do you think you can handle us?"

The three great Half-Step Rotating Pill experts in the sky had narrowed their encirclement to just a few hundred feet around Jiang Yao.

The next moment, a great battle might break out!

Just as the three great Half-Step Rotating Pill experts from the Flame Sect were about to make their move, and Jiang Yao was prepared to fight with all her might, a few sighs of a young girl suddenly came from the void: "It is disappointing indeed that disciples of the great Flame Sect, proud Half-Step Rotating Pill masters, would stoop to harming a young girl in the early stages of the Spirit Sea."

"Who?" The three great Half-Step Rotating Pill experts from the Flame Sect looked up into the sky simultaneously.

Jiang Yao also raised her eyes.

Just then, three female figures slowly emerged in the void, all dressed in the garb of the Moon Concealing Sect, evidently people from the great fifth-ranked Moon Concealing Sect!
