Chapter 2

"Exactly what kind of treasure is this pagoda?"

"Ten thousand beasts bow, dominating the void. Is it this that brought me to the vast wilderness of the Six Continents?"

Ye Chen looked at the seven-story pagoda in his qi sea and carefully examined the pagoda with his mind.

The moment his mind touched the pagoda, a loud rumble echoed, and Ye Chen felt the door of the first floor of the pagoda suddenly open, drawing his mind with a powerful suction force.

In a daze, Ye Chen felt himself enter another space.

The first floor of the pagoda.

This was a grand hall, completely silent, with no one else present except for Ye Chen.

On both sides of the hall, five massive fire altars stood, with roaring flames burning inside, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.

Ye Chen examined the hall and suddenly noticed that the wall on one side was covered with dense, small characters.

These small characters shimmered with a strange light, immediately capturing Ye Chen's attention.

Ye Chen looked at these small characters and saw at the top, five characters carved—“Taigu Xingchen Jue” (Ancient Star Technique)!

These five characters exuded an endless aura, making anyone who saw them involuntarily immerse themselves in them.

In the instant Ye Chen stared at these five characters, he saw the stars shift, saw endless stars, as if these five characters contained a vast universe!

It was incredibly mysterious.

It wasn't until a while later that Ye Chen emerged from the trance induced by these five characters.

His heart raced.

With the memories of two worlds fused, he had never seen such a mysterious script. Ye Chen felt that this “Taigu Xingchen Jue” must hide a great secret!

Ye Chen continued to read the small characters below.

He saw that below the five characters “Taigu Xingchen Jue,” there was an inscription: “The Ancient Star Technique is the supreme divine technique I created after traveling through countless star domains and stepping into myriad worlds. Before participating in the ‘Cangqiong Xinghai’ battle, I left it in my homeland, within the divine artifact ‘Xingchen Pagoda,’ awaiting a person of destiny.”

“The Ancient Star Technique, as I conceived it, is divided into nine sections. Unfortunately, even I only created seven sections.”

“These seven sections are hidden in the seven floors of the Xingchen Pagoda, and only those with sufficient strength can obtain them.”

“Although there are only seven sections, if one can cultivate to the fourth section, they will be enough to dominate a world. Completing all seven sections will make your strength sufficient to dominate myriad worlds and be the supreme ruler of the universe!”

Dominate myriad worlds, be the supreme ruler of the universe!

These eight characters exuded an undeniable aura, completely stunning Ye Chen.

He never imagined that the pagoda that brought him to this wilderness would hide such a great secret. A divine artifact? A divine technique? Although he didn't know what these were, just the description in the script made Ye Chen realize that this was a treasure that would drive the entire vast wilderness of the Six Continents into a frenzy!

“According to this script, if I can cultivate to the fourth section of the divine technique, I can dominate this vast wilderness of the Six Continents!”

“At that time, not to mention becoming an outer disciple of the Qingyun Sect, even the top experts of the Qingyun Sect or the Tianfeng Kingdom will not be my match!”

If this divine technique is truly so powerful and can be cultivated, then the days of Ye Chen being bullied and humiliated will be gone forever! His prospects in this new world will be bright!

Ye Chen suppressed his heartbeat and continued to read.

The script continued: “In the first floor of the Xingchen Pagoda, the first section of the ‘Taigu Xingchen Jue,’ the ‘Gangyuan Chapter,’ is hidden!”

“The ‘Gangyuan Chapter’ is divided into five levels, each hidden in one of the five fire altars.”

“Only by cultivating each level to its utmost can the next level be opened. Only by completing all five levels of the ‘Gangyuan Chapter’ can one enter the next floor of the pagoda and open the second section of the Taigu Xingchen Jue!”

“The method to open the first level of the ‘Gangyuan Chapter’ is as follows...”

Ye Chen looked at the text, then raised his head to look at the five massive fire altars in the hall: “So these five fire altars each contain one of the five levels of the first section of the Taigu Xingchen Jue.”

“However, the script on the wall also says that if one cannot successfully obtain the first level of the technique within three days, it means they are not destined for the Taigu Xingchen Jue.”

At the bottom of the script on the wall, there was the final message from the owner of the “Xingchen Pagoda”: “Person of destiny, although you have successfully entered the Xingchen Pagoda, it does not mean you can cultivate the Taigu Xingchen Jue. Only if you can successfully obtain the first level of the technique within three days do you have a chance to proceed.”

“Proceeding does not guarantee that you will complete all seven sections. If you stagnate or die during cultivation, the Xingchen Pagoda will fly away to find the next person of destiny!”

At the very end, the name of the Xingchen Pagoda's owner was carved—Zijixingzhu (Purple Extreme Star Master)!

“So this Xingchen Pagoda and the divine technique were left by this Purple Extreme Star Master. I wonder how powerful this Purple Extreme Star Master is.” Ye Chen thought.

However, according to the description in the script, the strength of the Purple Extreme Star Master must have reached a level that Ye Chen could hardly imagine.

Regarding the Purple Extreme Star Master's statement that the Taigu Xingchen Jue might not be successfully cultivated, Ye Chen was not too surprised.

After all, this divine technique is so mysterious; it cannot be easily cultivated.

After reading the script on the wall again and thoroughly memorizing it, Ye Chen walked to the five massive fire altars and sat down in a meditative posture.

“The Xingchen Pagoda brought me to this vast wilderness. I hope I have enough destiny to cultivate the ‘Taigu Xingchen Jue’ and gain the true means to survive and thrive in this unfamiliar world!”

“Now, I will begin by reciting the method to open the first level of the ‘Gangyuan Chapter’ of the Taigu Xingchen Jue!”

Ye Chen closed his eyes and silently recited the method to open the first level, as inscribed on the wall.

The moment he finished reciting the method, a fierce wind swept through the first floor of the Xingchen Pagoda, and the flames in the five massive fire altars shot up to the sky!

The Purple Extreme Star Master had explained that if the flames changed within three days, it indicated a connection with the Taigu Xingchen Jue. If the flames changed within two days, there was a high chance of obtaining the Gangyuan Chapter. If the flames could be ignited within one day, it was certain that the Gangyuan Chapter could be opened.

Ye Chen had just finished reciting the method, and it wasn't even a moment, let alone a day!

The flames in the five massive fire altars shot up to the sky!

This indicated that Ye Chen had an even greater connection with the Taigu Xingchen Jue than the Purple Extreme Star Master had anticipated.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

The five massive fire altars burned fiercely, and Ye Chen was completely immersed in a flame illusion.

He found himself walking through a sea of flames, with clusters of fire burning around him.

These flames were incredibly warm, making Ye Chen's entire body feel warm and cozy.

Without thinking, Ye Chen reached out to grab the flames...

In the hall.

At the same moment Ye Chen reached out to grab the flames, one of the five massive fire altars suddenly emitted a clear animal cry, and the entire hall was bathed in light.

In the endless light, Ye Chen felt all the flames transform into characters, flying into his mind.

These characters scattered but instantly formed a technique.

This was the initial technique of the first section of the Taigu Xingchen Jue, the “Gangyuan Chapter”—the “Lianmai Jue” (Vein Refinement Technique)!
