Primordial Star Scripture

```

As Ye Chen was reflecting, the more than three hundred Supreme Rotating Pill Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts had already completely engulfed his figure.

With continuous cultivation, a Jiao Dragon can transform into a True Dragon.

At this moment, although they had not yet reached the combat power of True Dragons, their hundreds of zhang long bodies and those five to eight zhang long talons sharp as steel hooks were exceedingly terrifying.

As they surged forward, a flick of these Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts' tails would crack the ground with gigantic fissures, and their claws forcefully striking the ground would even excavate huge pits.

Adding to that their roaring and howling, Ye Chen seemed to be facing not a group of War Beasts trapped in the Holy Temple Tower but Exotic Beasts that dominated the Barbarian Wilderness!

If it were any other Rotating Pill, even a powerful one, facing this dense mass of Exotic Beasts that had completely overwhelmed them, they would be trembling with fear.

However, after only a slight change in expression, Ye Chen suddenly drew the Treasured Black Fire Sword from his hand.

The reason for Ye Chen's change in expression was the concern for the more dangerous beasts on the second and third floors of the Holy Temple Tower, not that he couldn't handle the beasts on the first floor.

This first floor featured only a few hundred battle beasts with the strength of the Supreme Rotating Pill; if it were in the past, he might not have been able to handle them, but now, having stepped into the Rotating Pill Realm and successfully entered the third chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture— "Taiyuan Chapter," Ye Chen could certainly deal with them.

Whoosh!

The instant Black Fire Sword was drawn, the Five Apertures Rotating Pill within Ye Chen's body violently stirred, and all eighty-one Prohibition Runes on the Black Fire Sword were crazily triggered, with the entire sword radiating an endless, divine marvel of black and red sword light!

The Black Fire Sword, a supreme Treasure Instrument, now had all of its might fully awakened!

But this power was still not enough; as the might of the sword itself was being awakened, the endless Power of Laws from the Five Apertures Rotating Pill within Ye Chen also flooded into the Black Fire Sword. At the same time, Ye Chen raised his sword and unleashed the Swordsmanship Divine Art he had comprehended from the third layer of the "Beiming Secret Tome," the "Great Five Elements Sword Diagram"—the Great Five Elements Sword Light!

The first layer of the Beiming Secret Tome is "All-Encompassing Divine Diagram," which mainly cultivates Sword Intents; the second layer is "Xu Tian Wu Ji Tu," cultivating Law Sword Seed, even more powerful than Sword Intents.

Now, having stepped into the Rotating Pill, the third layer that Ye Chen was cultivating from Beiming Secret Tome, the "Great Five Elements Sword Diagram," possessed a killing force that surpassed even the Law Sword Seed, embodying the might of a Swordsmanship Divine Art.

The Great Five Elements Sword Light consists of the Metal Sword Light, Wood Sword Light, Water Sword Light, Fire Sword Light, and Earth Sword Light—these five types of Five Elements Sword Light.

As Ye Chen executed the Great Five Elements Sword Light Divine Art, streaks of sword light spanning dozens of zhang, each brimming with colors, shot out from the Black Fire Sword in his hands.

These colorful sword lights, upon contact with the charging and fighting Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, swiftly killed them, despite the beasts being much larger in size.

Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt! Spurt!

With a flick of the Black Fire Sword in Ye Chen's hand, the heads of seven or eight Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts were severed.

After Ye Chen killed these Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, from the origin where the beasts in the first level of the Holy Temple Tower surged out, countless more Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts continued to pour forth.

The number of Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts attacking Ye Chen didn't decrease at all!

Seeing this, Ye Chen's face remained calm.

What did it matter if their numbers hadn't reduced?

For battle beasts of this level, the more that came, the more he would kill!

Ye Chen flicked his Black Fire Sword again, continuing his onslaught against the sea of battle beasts that covered the land.

...

"So many Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, heavens!"

In another assessment area, a new disciple in the Spirit Sea middle stage faced off against a Jiao Dragon Battle Beast with the combat power of a mid-stage Rotating Pill.

Upon seeing the dense swarm of Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts that outnumbered the Bloodstripe War Beasts he had previously fought by dozens of times, the new disciple's face turned completely pale.

He might just manage to deal with ten Rotating Pill-level War Beasts, but facing hundreds of them filled him with absolute terror.

He swung his weapon and had just slain four Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts when he was overwhelmed by many more.

A moment later, a flash of teleportation light, and the new disciple was eliminated from the first level's challenge in the Holy Temple Tower, having failed.

...

In other regions, all new disciples faced an onslaught of battle beasts tens of times more numerous than their first assessment.

Many new disciples were already exhausted from the struggle.

Even those who barely managed to cope were constantly using their movement technique to dodge the onslaught of Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts while trying to kill them one by one.

Within moments, these new disciples were covered with bloodstains and their faces were beaded with sweat.

...

Outside the Holy Temple Tower, high up in the void, a screen of light projected the assessment situations of twelve new disciples on the first floor of the Holy Temple Tower.

After seven or eight minutes into the Holy Temple Tower, of the twelve people, five had already been eliminated!

And among the remaining ones, two or three seemed as if they would not last much longer and might be eliminated as well.

"To pass the first level of the Holy Temple Tower is to earn the qualification to cultivate in the First Holy Temple."

"For many years, in every selection of new disciples, only one or two per batch are able to directly enter the First Holy Temple. This time, even though twelve new disciples have managed to break into the second challenge of the Holy Temple Tower, I'm afraid only a very few will get through the first level to join the First Holy Temple."

```

The Heavenly Saints and senior disciples from the Heavenly Sacred Palace, watching as new disciples were continually eliminated on the screens, couldn't help but voice their amazement.

However, after expressing their thoughts a few times, the attention of these people was drawn to two screens in particular.

They noticed that the new disciples on these two screens, even when faced with swarms of attacking Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, did not panic in the slightest, starkly different from the other candidates!

On one of these screens was a young man holding a black and red Treasured Sword. With every step he took, he would swing his sword, and each swing would directly kill seven or eight Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts. In a matter of moments, the number of Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts he had killed amounted to seventy or eighty!

On the other screen was a young girl wielding an ice-blue Treasured Sword. She moved with ease among the multitude of War Beasts, and wherever she went, a Jiao Dragon Giant Beast would be struck down. The speed and number at which she killed the Jiao Dragon Giant Beasts were in no way inferior to that of the young man!

Watching the two of them kill Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, which held Supreme Rotating Pill combat power, as if they were merely slaughtering chickens, many of the older disciples were stunned!

"These two!"

"Are the strongest among the new disciples that we could all sense earlier!"

"According to the Envoy, these two are called Ye Chen and Jiang Yao!"

"Looking at them, they will definitely get through the first layer! And possibly, they might even get through the second layer, or even manage to break into the third layer!"

Thinking of this, the disciples from the First Holy Temple were all stirred up with excitement.

If these two could enter the second layer, that directly implied that the First Holy Temple was about to welcome two new disciples!

"Ye Chen, Jiang Yao."

Among the senior disciples from the First Holy Temple, Yin Qianjue, from the Western Wilderness's Ten Great Demon Sects, watched with a deep jump in his heart as the two easily slaughtered the Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts.

"These two people are having an easier time breaking through the first layer of the Holy Temple Tower than I did back in the day!"

The older disciples had already taken full notice of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

And most of the Heavenly Saints from Heavenly Saint Mountain had their gazes fixed on Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

"Not bad, these two kids are good."

Surrounded by a group of early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, the mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses were all smiling and nodding at the sight of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

And among the mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouses, the formidable Heavenly Saints who were self-proclaimed as "Five Elders of Shetuo Mountain," had their exceptionally bright gazes all fixed on Ye Chen.

"Qing, are these two the new disciples you brought back?"

In the area where the Eight Great Envoys stood, Mu Qingqing saw that a multitude of gazes were converging on Ye Chen and Jiang Yao on the screens, her sly beautiful eyes already brimming with amusement.

Just then, a voice accompanied by laughter suddenly transmitted into her mind.

Upon hearing this transmission, the amusement in Mu Qingqing's beautiful eyes instantly turned into surprise, "Grandpa, are you also here to watch the new disciples' assessment?!"

The one Mu Qingqing was responding to through her transmission was none other than one of the three great Palace Masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, Palace Master Mu Yao!

As countless gazes appraised them, time passed for a moment, and by then, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had already successfully killed a hundred Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts, earning the right to enter the second layer of the Holy Temple Tower!

And the time it took the two to kill a hundred War Beasts wasn't even half an hour, not even fifteen minutes!

After killing the required hundred War Beasts, the numerous Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts still surging towards Ye Chen and Jiang Yao ceased their attacks and turned around, returning to the corner light of the Holy Temple Tower.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao then sat down cross-legged on the first layer to meditate and recover their True Qi, awaiting the commencement of the second layer's assessment.

After Ye Chen and Jiang Yao had successfully qualified for the second layer's assessment, three more people were eliminated from the first layer of the Holy Temple Tower.

The total number of eliminated new disciples had reached eight!

Only four new disciples remained within the Holy Temple Tower.

Apart from Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, only two people were still undergoing the assessment, still fighting against the Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts.

Among these two, one was Liu Qingmei, and the other was a young man at the mid-stage of the Rotating Pill Realm.

As time drew close to the end of the half-hour period, Liu Qingmei and the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm young man struggled to kill enough Jiao Dragon Battle Beasts to secure their entry to the second layer of the Holy Temple Tower.

Although their victory was hard-fought, both Liu Qingmei and the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm young man were exceedingly excited.

Because, regardless of the outcome, they had killed enough War Beasts to advance to the second layer, and even if they failed to overcome the challenges of the second layer, they had secured their entry into the First Holy Temple!

As Liu Qingmei and the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm young man excitedly regulated their breathing and awaited the end of the half-hour assessment period, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao also stood up from their meditation.

All four were waiting for the second layer of the Holy Temple Tower to open.

This wait wasn't long.

When Liu Qingmei and the mid-stage Rotating Pill Realm young man had almost fully recovered and Ye Chen and Jiang Yao looked up into the sky above the first layer, their surrounding space on the first layer of the Holy Temple Tower suddenly began to flicker with numerous lights.

Amidst the lights, all four vanished from the first layer of the Holy Temple Tower.

At the same time, the second layer of the Holy Temple Tower lit up thoroughly!
