Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 952 - 902 Warning (2nd Update)

"What do you think, young friend? Would you be interested in sharing a drink with the eight of us?"

The words of the white-robed Nine-Star Sovereign echoed from the void, reverberating in all directions and landing in Ye Chen's ears.

At this moment, countless martial artists in Frost God City, along with the members of the Lin family who had been startled out of their quarters, were utterly shocked to the core.

They had never imagined that such a seemingly ordinary Divine City would see the appearance of eight Sovereigns!

And these were not ordinary Sovereigns either.

Among the eight, two were Nine-Star Sovereigns, four were Eight-Star Sovereigns, and two were Seven-Star Sovereigns.

A lineup of such high-ranking Sovereigns appearing not just in Frost God City but even in the capital of any Divine Kingdom would undoubtedly cause an uproar.

What astonished these people even more.

Was that these eight Sovereigns had personally extended an invitation to Ye Chen.

Earlier, everyone had already discerned Ye Chen's extraordinary nature, but they never expected that this remarkable God King youth would attract eight such Sovereigns, and that they would treat him with such respect!

"Lord Ye Chen!"

At this moment, the members of the Lin family turned their anxious gazes toward Ye Chen.

Although they could see that the eight Sovereigns harbored no apparent hostility toward Ye Chen, the mere presence of such high-ranking beings still filled them with dread.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, who was the focus of the eight Sovereigns' attention, felt a twinge of shock himself.

He had not expected that during the short span in which he was treating Lin Fei'er, eight high-ranking Sovereigns would descend upon Frost God City.

Of course, Ye Chen was no stranger to such encounters.

Back when he visited Heavenly God Mountain, he once ran into leading Sovereigns from five different Divine Kingdoms. At that time, there had been even more Eight-Star and Nine-Star Sovereigns assembled than there were now, and Ye Chen hadn't been intimidated then—he certainly wouldn't be now.

Glancing back at Lin Fei'er, immersed in cultivating her Innate Divine Body with her senses closed and undisturbed, Ye Chen gave a slight nod.

Then, turning to the members of the Lin family, he offered them a gentle smile.

With that, Ye Chen stepped out of the Lin Mansion, taking a single stride into the void, moving toward the eight Sovereigns.

"With such an invitation from the eight esteemed seniors, how could Ye Chen possibly decline?"

Greeting the eight Sovereigns with a cupped fist salute, Ye Chen's tone was respectful, yet his demeanor remained composed.

Seeing Ye Chen's calm and collected expression, the eight Sovereigns exchanged glances and nodded with smiles.

"Impressive. Truly, a hero emerges in his youth!"

"Even his bearing alone is unparalleled among the God Kings we've seen!"

As Ye Chen stepped forward to stand before the eight Sovereigns, they waved their sleeves, and in the void suddenly appeared a large round table and nine stone stools.

One of the Sovereigns, clad in blue, made a simple gesture, and a treasure shaped like a basket appeared in his hand. The Blue-Robed Sovereign retrieved an assortment of fine food and wine from the basket, placing them upon the round table.

These eight Sovereigns had indeed prepared a banquet for Ye Chen in mid-air.

"Young friend, let me first introduce you to the company. This here is Sovereign Li; you may address him as Elder Tieguai."

After seating Ye Chen at the round table, the white-robed Nine-Star Sovereign began introducing the other seven Sovereigns.

He began with an elderly Nine-Star Sovereign leaning on a cane and carrying a wine gourd on his back.

He then moved on to introduce the remaining six. freewebnoveℓ.com

"This is Sovereign Cao, this is Sovereign Zhang, and this one here, responsible for the spread, is Sovereign Lan…"

"And this lady here is Sovereign He."

Finally, he introduced himself. "You may call me Immortal Lu, or Sovereign Lu, as you wish."

"Seniors Lu, Tieguai, Cao…" Ye Chen cupped his fists again toward the eight Sovereigns. "Might I ask what task the eight seniors wish to entrust to this junior?"

Sovereign Tieguai Li chuckled heartily. "Let's discuss it over drinks."

Sovereign He also smiled. "Sovereign Lan has brought out his treasured Divine Food Jade Liquor, and I, too, have a few lotus pods gathered from the 'Cave Heaven Lotus Pond.' Young friend, why not give them a try?"

With that, Sovereign He presented three clusters of lotus pods.

Ye Chen noticed that each lotus seed within the pods emanated a faint divine brilliance—it was clearly no ordinary item.

As Ye Chen consumed a seed, he immediately felt a surge of powerful origin energy flooding into his entire body.

Although this origin energy didn't quite match the Crystal Spirit Fine Wine he'd once drunk from Sovereign Fang Xuan on Heavenly God Mountain, nor did it approach the Divine Light and Liquid from the Divine Transformation Pool at the mountain's exit,

it was still unquestionably a rare treasure of great value among Sovereigns.

Ye Chen hadn't expected that Sovereign He, a complete stranger, would willingly share such a precious item with him.

Drinking the Jade Liquor provided by Sovereign Lan and sampling the divine foods on the table, Ye Chen felt a warm and potent energy flow into his physical body, nourishing his Divine Body with care.

The offerings from Sovereign Lan, too, were undoubtedly extraordinary!

While Ye Chen was savoring the food and drink, the eight Sovereigns finally revealed the reason for inviting him.

"Young friend, the eight of us hail from the Heavenly Splendor Divine Kingdom. Bound by a common love for travel, we roam the cosmos pursuing adventures and training."

"We chanced upon the sword-killing formation you set up and were drawn here to meet its creator."

"Might we ask, young friend, which school you belong to? Are you by chance a native of Black Dragon Mountain Divine Kingdom?"

Ye Chen finally understood why the eight Sovereigns had come after hearing this question.

He glanced at the Thousand Swords Killing Formation he had established outside the Lin family's grounds.

"So the eight seniors were drawn here by that sword-killing formation."

Ye Chen suspected that it was the techniques he had learned from Huyan Divine Master—"Mysterious Spirit Thousand Sword Skills"—that had caught their eyes.

"This junior, Ye Chen, is not from Black Dragon Mountain Divine Kingdom. I am a disciple of the Supreme Divine Institute of Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom. I passed through here while fulfilling a companion's request."

When Ye Chen mentioned that he was from Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom's Supreme Divine Institute, Sovereign He's eyes lit up as she asked him, "Could it be that young friend Ye Chen has just returned from Heavenly God Mountain?"

"How did senior know I have just come from Heavenly God Mountain?" Ye Chen was taken aback.

Sovereign He's expression shifted with astonishment upon hearing Ye Chen's response.

"Not long ago, the eight of us concluded an expedition to Qianjue Divine Kingdom. While visiting an old friend, I encountered his disciple Hua Xuelian, who had just returned from Heavenly God Mountain. I heard much about recent events there, and your name came up repeatedly."

"To think you are indeed the Ye Chen that Hua Xuelian so greatly praised!"

"Word has it that you were the first God King to complete all the trials at Heavenly God Mountain and step into the legendary first Divine Transformation Pool!"

Sovereign He marveled, her admiration evident.

Hua Xuelian?

"I didn't expect senior to be acquainted with Hua Xuelian," Ye Chen remarked, somewhat surprised.

At this moment, Sovereign Lu asked, "Could it be that young friend Ye Chen left Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom right after returning from Heavenly God Mountain?"

"Do you have important matters to attend to, or is this journey purely coincidental?"

Ye Chen's heart stirred at these words.

The eight Sovereigns traveled across the cosmos and might have visited the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Ye Chen knew little about the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Aside from some leads regarding General Yinsha provided by Huyan Divine Master, his understanding was limited.

After all, Huyan Divine Master had been isolated for millennia, and the True Spirit Divine Kingdom may have undergone significant changes in that time.

As he intended to journey there, Ye Chen thought it prudent to gather as much information as possible from these Sovereigns.

Though he couldn't disclose his mission for Huyan Divine Master, there was no harm in inquiring about the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen said to the eight Sovereigns, "This junior has departed Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom to travel to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom. My stop here at Black Dragon Mountain Divine Kingdom is merely a stopover."

"Seniors, given your extensive travels, might you have visited the True Spirit Divine Kingdom?"

"You're heading for the True Spirit Divine Kingdom?!" The eight Sovereigns clearly hadn't anticipated that Ye Chen's destination was the True Spirit Divine Kingdom.

"We have indeed visited the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, spending several decades there some five hundred years ago," Sovereign Lu said, his expression turning solemn. "Young friend Ye Chen, the True Spirit Divine Kingdom is far more powerful than Wanmu Mountain and even our Heavenly Splendor Divine Kingdom."

"In the vast cosmos, the True Spirit Divine Kingdom ranks among the top twenty!"

"Moreover, it is fraught with peril. Comprising countless True Spirit Sacred Beast clans, the kingdom is rife with danger. Though you are formidable, as a mere God King, you may risk total annihilation with the slightest misstep!"

Ye Chen's countenance grew gravely serious upon hearing Sovereign Lu's warning.

He had long known that the True Spirit Divine Kingdom was incredibly powerful.

Huyan Divine Master and General Long Xiao had both remarked upon its strength, noting that its vast number of True Spirit Sacred Beast clans hosted a population of Sovereigns that dwarfed Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom's by dozens of times.

The number of high-ranking Sovereigns there was also significantly greater.

Ye Chen also recalled reading about the True Spirit Divine Kingdom in the Heavenly Spirit Rankings of the fifth floor of the Stars Tower.

The kingdom's five major True Spirit Sacred Beast clans—the Blood Wing Clan, Nine Flames Clan, Wind God Clan, Extreme Spirit Clan, and Ten Thousand Blades Clan—all ranked atop the Heavenly Spirit Rankings as supreme elite clans.

For one kingdom to host five such elite clans underscored its tremendous strength!

The General Yinsha Ye Chen sought belonged to one of these clans—the Extreme Spirit Clan.

Still, despite knowing how treacherous the True Spirit Divine Kingdom was, Ye Chen had no choice but to brave it!

After all, the curse left by Huyan Divine Master remained upon him. To lift it, Ye Chen had to fulfill the Divine Master's final wish.

"Seniors, could you share specifics about the True Spirit Divine Kingdom with this junior?" Ye Chen took a deep breath and earnestly inquired of the eight Sovereigns.

Sovereign He spoke up first. "Let me tell you a bit about the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, young friend Ye Chen."

"This kingdom differs greatly from others. While it's still possible to use the Teleportation Star Formation to travel into its capital from other kingdoms,

moving between the regions within the True Spirit Divine Kingdom is completely different. Unlike many other kingdoms, you cannot rely on regional Teleportation Divine Arrays to traverse its various locales."

"To venture anywhere within the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, one must traverse the regions by flight, step by arduous step."

"But these regions are rife with dangers. Even the eight of us encountered numerous crises during our attempt to pass through the entire kingdom."

"Young friend Ye Chen, if you truly must go to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, I advise you to remain within the capital's bounds. Avoid crossing deeper into its territories, for the dangers you may face are beyond comprehension!"
