Primordial Star Scripture

Fairy Jia Luo's words sent chills down both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's spines.

They both looked up simultaneously at the grand chart of the ten great demon sects of the Western Wilderness in the void, memorizing each and every one of their names and power levels.

Forth-rank sect Joyous Union Sect, forth-rank sect Dry Bone Peak, forth-rank sect Blood Fiend Valley, fifth-rank sect Myriad Ghosts Cave, fifth-rank sect Defying Demon Sect...

These names, these forces, all held blood feuds with the thirteen kingdoms of the Southern Territory!

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao committed them deeply to memory.

Just as Fairy Jia Luo had said, if a war were to erupt, stemming from these blood feuds which had lasted for thousands of years, these forces would all be their opponents, and they naturally had to be highly vigilant.

Even if war did not break out in the short term, such a potential threat still had to be seen as motivation to strengthen themselves!

Only when they were powerful enough could they stand fearless before any threat and not worry about when it would suddenly emerge!

Seeing Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's utterly serious expressions, Fairy Jia Luo nodded.

"Ye Chen, Yao'er, the reason I remind you of the blood feud between the ten great demon sects and our thirteen kingdoms of the Southern Territory is because the two of you are the absolute geniuses of Snowdrift Peak. As absolute geniuses, you must look far ahead and consider all crises in your hearts."

"Let's leave the matter of the ten great demon sects here. Just keep it in your minds and be careful—that will be enough."

"Next, I will tell you about the other forces on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent."

On the Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map, aside from these two great forces occupying the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, there were many other forces. Fairy Jia Luo's finger pointed toward the illuminated directory labeled "The Central Region's Three Great Dynasties."

As Ye Chen and Jiang Yao glimpsed these three great dynasties, they became even more serious.

Invited by Daoist Glass of Wine, they were to participate in the "Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament" in eight months' time, which would be held in the Central Region's Great Qian Dynasty.

They were not familiar with the Great Qian Dynasty, let alone the remaining two dynasties.

When the grand charts of the territories of the three dynasties appeared in the void, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao saw that the territories of these three Central Region dynasties were even larger than the Southern Territory's thirteen kingdoms and the Western Wilderness's ten great demon sects combined.

"The Central Region's three great dynasties represent the oldest martial arts lineages on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Inside each dynasty, there are countless sects with entwined power structures—struggles that are even more frequent and far more intense than those in the Western Wilderness and the Southern Territory!"

"The three dynasties are the Great Qian Dynasty, Great Zhou Dynasty, and Great Xia Dynasty!"

"These three great dynasties occupy the most vast and grand central territories of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and are veritable giants. Compared to them, the thirteen kingdoms of the Southern Territory and the ten great demon sects of the Western Wilderness are too far behind.

It is only because these three great dynasties hold the two regions in contempt, that the forces of the Western Wilderness and the Southern Territory have been able to survive."

"The forces that entered the Southern Territory's thirteen kingdoms back in the day were splinters from these three great dynasties!"

"All of the three great dynasties possess third-rank sects, and within the Great Xia Dynasty, there's even a second-rank sect—the most powerful in the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent. However, that second-rank sect is hidden from the world and does not partake in the countless struggles between sects within the three dynasties..."

Fairy Jia Luo's discussion of the three great dynasties gave Ye Chen and Jiang Yao a deeper understanding of them.

It turned out that these three dynasties were the true core and foundation of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. The Western Wilderness and the Southern Territory simply could not compare to the Central Region's three great dynasties!

In the three great dynasties, there existed third-rank sects with mid-Heavenly Saint Realm experts and even second-rank sects with late-Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses!

This information made Ye Chen and Jiang Yao even more eager for the Spirit Sea Realm Sword Fighting Tournament at Immeasurable Mountain in the Great Qian Dynasty, which was eight months away.

Having discussed the powers of the Southern Territory, Western Wilderness, and Central Region of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, Fairy Jia Luo continued by telling Ye Chen about other territories.

The Ice Palace Snowfield of the Northern Barbarian Wastelands!

The Polar Star Archipelago of the Eastern Wilderness!

And also the Sea of Chaos and ancient hidden lands!

These were places that even Fairy Jia Luo had not trodden much; she had only gained a little insight into these territories by reading countless ancient texts within the three great dynasties.

Unlike the obvious forces in the Southern Territory, Western Wilderness, and Central Region, the Northern Barbarian Wastelands, the Eastern Wilderness, and the entire periphery of the Sea of Chaos were full of hidden solitary cultivators, secret races, and secret sects.

Even in Fairy Jia Luo's view, these hidden forces and their concealed strengths could be more terrifying than those of the Central Region's three great dynasties!

It was said that the peerless solitary cultivator who had slain the Elder of the Crimson Moon and had driven the ten great demon sects out of the Southern Territory had come from within the Polar Star Archipelago of the Eastern Wilderness.

Hidden solitary cultivators did not stand proudly in the world like the large third- and second-rank sects of the three great dynasties, but the powerful Heavenly Saint Realm experts among these territories' secluded cultivators perhaps numbered more than anywhere else on the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

There were even late-Heavenly Saint Realm strong experts dwelling within these hidden territories.

The Heavenly Saint Realm Sword Fighting Tournament that Ye Chen knew of was to be held in the Sea God Palace within the Sea of Chaos. That Sea God Palace was an organization of solitary cultivators. According to Fairy Jia Luo's judgment, there must be late-Heavenly Saint Realm solitary cultivators inside!

Aside from these territories, the void above the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent was also filled with countless Void Rifts, which could lead to many other continents on par with the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

```

Even the Minor Spirit Divine Mountain that led to the supreme spirit realm, "Little Spirit World," was hidden deep beneath the surface of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

However, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao currently had no way to set foot in the Void Rift and Minor Spirit Divine Mountain; such places could only be accessed by Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses who had comprehended the laws of space.

After Fairy Jia Luo had roughly explained the entire "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map" to Ye Chen, he felt as if his entire world had been opened up.

Previously, he had only been in the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, within a small sect, and at most, he had entered secret realms left by Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses twice.

Now, he finally knew that beyond the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, there were even more vast territories such as the thirteen countries of the Southern Territory, the ten great demon sects of the Western Wilderness, and the three great dynasties of the Central Region!

He came to know that in the Ice Palace Snowfield in the northern part of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, the Polar Star Archipelago in the east, and the Sea of Chaos beyond the lands, there were countless forces and countless powerhouses!

There was also the Void Rift!

There was also the Minor Spirit Divine Mountain!

This was the true Barbaric Wilderness Continent, the true martial world!

Ye Chen's vision was still too narrow, and his strength was far from sufficient in the whole Barbaric Wilderness Continent!

Not only Ye Chen, even Fairy Jia Luo knew very little about the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent, with most of her knowledge coming from ancient texts, and even with her mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm strength, there were many regions she couldn't set foot in.

With this "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map" in hand, according to what Fairy Jia Luo said, it contained countless pieces of news and bizarre tales from ancient texts, all within this map that Ye Chen needed to examine in detail.

But from this first look at the map's general layout, Ye Chen had already developed the ambition to travel throughout the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

He made up his mind that one day he would traverse the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent and even venture into the Void Rift, stepping into the Minor Spirit Divine Mountain!

Having roughly introduced the situation of the "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map" to Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, Fairy Jia Luo then looked seriously at Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, after coming to the Great Mysterious Sect, your most important cultivation goal is to step into the Spirit Sea Realm!"

"At the same time, both you and Yao'er also need to prepare for the Spirit Sea Realm Swordfighting Tournament in eight months. That tournament is a chance for you to step out of the Great Mysterious Sect, out of the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, and to contend with countless strong opponents from across the continent!"

"No matter how detailed the Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map is described, it is not as clear as walking the journey yourself!"

Fairy Jia Luo's words made Ye Chen and Jiang Yao nod repeatedly.

The Wine Sword Daoist said that this first participation in the Spirit Sea Realm Swordfighting Tournament should just be for gaining experience, but how could the pair be content to merely be spectators? They certainly wanted to prepare fully and compete fiercely with countless swordsmanship geniuses.

"Yao'er." Fairy Jia Luo finally looked at Jiang Yao, "Tomorrow, take Ye Chen with you to your fellow disciple Yu's place, and learn swordsmanship under her!"

"I hope that in these eight months, you can achieve great accomplishments!"

Sister Yu?

Ye Chen remembered that the Wine Sword Daoist had mentioned a girl surnamed Yu in Snowdrift Peak who was among the top three in the last Spirit Sea Realm Swordfighting Tournament. Could it be this Sister Yu?

Ye Chen did not know the identity of Sister Yu, but how could Jiang Yao not know?

When Jiang Yao heard Fairy Jia Luo telling her and Ye Chen to study swordsmanship with Sister Yu, the young girl's face flushed red with excitement, and she said to Ye Chen eagerly, "Ye Chen, Sister Yu's swordsmanship is incredibly powerful, I fear she is second only to the master in the entire Great Mysterious Sect!"

"Studying swordsmanship with Sister Yu, we will surely make great strides."

"Tomorrow, we will go together to find Sister Yu!"

The girl's excited demeanor made Ye Chen even more curious about Sister Yu.

His first learning experience in the Great Mysterious Sect would start with her?

Ye Chen also felt some anticipation.

After bidding farewell to Fairy Jia Luo on the hillside, Ye Chen, under Jiang Yao's guidance, found a secluded courtyard on Snowdrift Peak.

This courtyard was seven or eight times larger than the small courtyard Ye Chen had lived in at the Qingyun Sect, and it was filled with various kinds of Spirit Grass. The emerald Spirit Bamboo swayed, and the true qi of heaven and earth was abundant.

The courtyard was very close to where Jiang Yao lived, just a few pathways away, no more than the time it took to drink a cup of tea to reach, which pleased both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

As the giant firebird rested in the courtyard, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao inside the house talked about their own experiences during the past four-plus months until deep into the night before they parted.

The four rounds of assessment for the true disciple selection tournament and Fairy Jia Luo's explanation of the "Barbaric Wilderness Mountain and Sea Map" had tensed Ye Chen's spirit so much that as he lay in bed, he soon fell asleep.

When Ye Chen woke up early the next day, he felt refreshed and energetic once again.

Not long after, the beautiful Jiang Yao, dressed in a goose-yellow robe, arrived at the courtyard again.

After exchanging smiles, Ye Chen followed Jiang Yao on their way to Sister Yu's residence.
