Primordial Star Scripture
Chapter 131 - 113 The Tower Guardian "Yan Ling'er

Just as Ye Chen was transported to the eighteenth layer of the Ancient God Tower, the topmost layer, the eighteenth layer of the tower began to light up brightly when viewed from the outside.

"The eighteenth layer!"

"Ye Chen has entered the highest level of the Ancient God Tower, the supreme eighteenth layer!"

Looking at the brightly illuminated eighteenth layer of the Ancient God Tower, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact was extraordinarily excited.

It had followed Heavenly Saint Di Kong for countless years and had witnessed him obtaining this mystical Ancient God Tower.

Yet, despite the passage of countless years, even within the Jindi Ancient Clan, no one had been able to enter the final three layers.

Now, not only had Ye Chen entered the last three layers, but he had even successfully entered the highest eighteenth layer!

Because of Ye Chen, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact had the chance to witness all eighteen layers of the Ancient God Tower!

Because of Ye Chen, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact could behold the guardians of all eighteen layers of the Ancient God Tower!

Ye Chen not only achieved the highest reward standards set by Heavenly Saint Di Kong but also fulfilled all of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact's expectations for the final three layers of the tower.

"Little guy, the young boy who will eventually take you away from the Ethereal Spirit Holy Temple is really impressive!" the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact said to the golden monkey in its palm.

"Yiya!" The golden monkey called out excitedly.

The lively golden monkey clearly understood the words of the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact. Its whole body shone with golden light, and its brilliant fur excitedly emitted bursts of auroral light.

It was apparent that the little fellow was happy about Ye Chen's strength!

"Let's see the eighteenth layer."

"This ultimate layer is probably also the most difficult to break through."

"However, even if he doesn't break through, Ye Chen can still cultivate for thirty full days inside, and he'll have made complete use of all the extra cultivation time the Ancient God Tower offers!"

The Ancient God Tower has a total of eighteen layers, and Ye Chen, having entered the eighteenth layer, can cultivate within it. Whether he breaks through or not won't affect his cultivation time.

Of course, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact was keener to see Ye Chen successfully overcome all eighteen layers.

To conquer the entire Ancient God Tower, to slice through it completely, would be much more satisfying than losing at this final layer!

Carrying a gaze full of anticipation, the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact and the golden monkey both looked toward the interior of the eighteenth layer.

"Is this the eighteenth layer of the Ancient God Tower?"

Upon being transported to the spatial realm of the eighteenth layer, Ye Chen felt as if he had entered a fairy-like world.

It was a vast, unimaginable expanse of heaven and earth where the spiritual energy was so dense it was unbelievable. Ye Chen had never before entered a realm with such concentrated spiritual energy.

The spiritual energy even formed droplets of green spiritual liquid, which shimmered on the ground.

Where Ye Chen stood, there was a vast green prairie, and looking into the distance, he could even see mountains floating in the sky!

This eighteenth layer of the Ancient God Tower was distinct from the previous seventeen layers!

As Ye Chen was observing this world, a huge law platform suddenly rose not far from him. The enormous platform, composed of seven green leaves, had a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl sitting cross-legged on top.

This young girl, though young in age, radiated an otherworldly beauty. Her whole body emitted a holy and fairy-like aura, unlike any mortal being.

The girl's waterfall-like hair flowed freely over the Green Leaf Law Platform. She wore simple and elegant white robes, and her crystal-clear eyes were now looking at Ye Chen.

"Congratulations, trialist. You have entered the eighteenth layer, and now you can enjoy the full benefit of the Ancient God Tower's tenfold time flow for cultivation," the girl said to Ye Chen with a faint smile.

Ye Chen looked at the girl, who, despite her young age, exuded a holy, fairy-like aura, and felt a stir in his heart, "It seems she is the 'Princess Yan Ling'er' mentioned by the guardian of the seventeenth layer."

Ye Chen remembered that the guardian of the seventeenth layer had also hoped that he wouldn't lose too badly on the eighteenth layer.

The guardian had witnessed Ye Chen's Sword Intents, his Nine Transformation Fighting Body techniques, and he had even seen Ye Chen's flying sword technique.

Ye Chen's various methods even made the guardian concede the match!

Still, that guardian believed Ye Chen would lose to the girl on this eighteenth layer, which suggested the girl's formidable power.

Ye Chen could hardly wait to experience the girl's moves firsthand.

As if sensing Ye Chen's eagerness for the challenge, the girl gave Ye Chen a gentle smile, "Let me introduce myself first, my name is 'Yan Ling'er.'

"Princess Yan Ling'er? I am Ye Chen. I've already heard of your great name in the seventeenth layer," Ye Chen said to the girl with a smile.

"That 'Mo Yunsong' really took the easy way out, knowing he couldn't beat you and conceding straight away," the girl said with a wry smile. Her eyes as clear as glass then turned back to Ye Chen, "However, Ye Chen, since you've come to this point, just quietly cultivate here. After thirty days, you will also leave the Ancient God Tower."

"There's no need to challenge me. Since the Ancient God Tower was created, which has been three thousand five hundred and seventy-two years, no one has defeated me since I left my divine sense to guard the highest layer over three thousand years ago, and I reckon you won't be an exception."

The girl's voice was filled with immense confidence!

She was actually telling Ye Chen to concede directly and focus on cultivating peacefully!

But how could Ye Chen ever concede so easily?

Having reached the final layer, he of course had to duel with the guardian of this last level!

Even if his opponent was formidable, he wouldn't concede without a fight, and he wanted to witness the strength of his adversary!

"Princess Yan Ling'er, since I have reached this level, I must, of course, engage with you in combat. I hope the Princess will oblige," Ye Chen said without any hesitation.

"If you wish to challenge me, as the guardian of this layer, I will certainly fulfill your wish,"

"However, before we cross swords, let me tell you about the Ancient God Tower. Then, you can decide whether you still wish to challenge me,"

Yan Ling'er, who was sitting on the Green Leaf Law Platform, spoke.

The affairs of the Ancient God Tower?

This Ancient God Tower involved the mysteries of the laws of time that not even beings of the Heavenly Saint Realm could comprehend; Ye Chen was naturally immensely interested.

He also wanted to hear just what kind of secrets Princess Yan Ling'er, the guardian of the highest level of the Ancient God Tower, would reveal about it.

"In fact, this Ancient God Tower was crafted by my grandfather, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan from the Minor Spirit Realm!"

"Such Ancient God Towers, he crafted a total of ninety-nine!"

The Ancient God Tower was crafted by Yan Ling'er's grandfather, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan from the Minor Spirit Realm?

There were as many as ninety-nine of these miraculous Ancient God Towers?!

Ye Chen was completely astonished by what Yan Ling'er had revealed about the Ancient God Tower.

"Minor Spirit Realm? Why does that place sound so familiar?" Ye Chen felt as if he had heard of the "Minor Spirit Realm" somewhere.

In a flash of insight, he recalled where he had encountered the name Minor Spirit Realm.

Back in the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, when Ye Chen and Jiang Yao climbed the summit of the mountain of swords, they met the shadow clone left by Heavenly Saint Qian Ji, who mentioned that the real Heavenly Saint Qian Ji had gone to the Minor Spirit Realm.

Heavenly Saint Qian Ji went to the Minor Spirit Realm in search of a sacred treasure that could revive Heavenly Saint Lian Yue, who had fallen into a coma due to the collapse of the Flying Sword Palace.

At that time, Ye Chen had wondered what kind of place the Minor Spirit Realm was.

Now, to hear about the Minor Spirit Realm again in this Ancient God Tower, and even to encounter Yan Ling'er from the Minor Spirit Realm—and her grandfather, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan who crafted these towers—was unexpected!

Although he didn't know just how wondrous the Minor Spirit Realm was, the mere fact that Heavenly Saint Qian Ji had journeyed there in search of a sacred treasure made it clear that it must be extraordinary!

Although he was unaware of how powerful the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan was, from the mere ability to craft Ancient God Towers with time flowing ten times faster, he could deduce that the emperor's strength likely surpassed that of the Heavenly Saint Realm!

No wonder Yan Ling'er was so confident in saying that Ye Chen could not possibly defeat her; after all, she was the granddaughter of the master of the Ancient God Tower, possessing a grand heritage and presumably, significant strength!

Yan Ling'er continued, "My grandfather crafted such Ancient God Towers in order to nurture the young members of our Yan Clan, hence only those under the age of twenty could enter."

"Later, in order to spread their benefits to other realms, my grandfather sent thirty-three of these towers into the Lower Realm, and the one you're in is one of the Ancient God Towers that flowed into the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!"

Lower Realm? Barbaric Wilderness Continent?

Does that mean the Minor Spirit Realm is not within the Barbaric Wilderness Continent?

Ye Chen always thought that the Minor Spirit Realm was a mysterious place within the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, but from Yan Ling'er's words, it seemed that the Minor Spirit Realm was far more powerful—the Barbaric Wilderness Continent was only known as a Lower Realm to the Minor Spirit Realm!

"Princess Yan Ling'er, where exactly is the Minor Spirit Realm?" Ye Chen became exceedingly curious about the Minor Spirit Realm.

"The Minor Spirit Realm is one of thirty-three continents, including the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, that make up the Supreme Spiritual Realm. Only those with the strength of the Heavenly Saint Realm have the chance to traverse the spatial fractures to the Minor Spirit Realm that open once every three thousand years."

"Others can only be transported there if the supreme beings within the Minor Spirit Realm employ great divine powers to passively bring them in."

"Ye Chen, your current strength is not sufficient to enter the Minor Spirit Realm,"

Yan Ling'er said with a light smile.

Ye Chen nodded.

He was currently in the True Qi Realm, and although his true combat ability could already suppress early-stage Spirit Sea Realm experts and even contend with mid-stage Spirit Sea Realm practitioners, he was still vastly far from reaching the Heavenly Saint Realm.

The prospect of navigating through the mysterious spatial fractures as told by Yan Ling'er was simply out of his reach.

"After crafting the Ancient God Tower, my grandfather teleported countless True Qi Realm experts from thirty-three realms of the Lower Realm, along with those from the Minor Spirit Realm, to conduct a grand competition. Ultimately, four individuals, including myself, were chosen as the final four guardians of the Ancient God Tower,"

"In our Yan Clan, if someone manages to break through to the sixteenth level, they qualify to cultivate in the sacred lands of our clan. However, for the thirty-three towers that entered the Lower Realm, such an opportunity is not available; they only provide the chance to cultivate with accelerated time."

"Nonetheless, my grandfather once said that if anyone could break through all eighteen levels and completely conquer the Ancient God Tower, even a person from the Lower Realm would be given an opportunity, a chance to cultivate in the Yan Clan's ancient lands."

"But in the more than two thousand years since the thirty-three Ancient God Towers entered the Lower Realm, no one has ever managed to break through all eighteen levels."

"Even within my Yan Clan, no one has achieved such a feat."

"After all, only those under the age of twenty can enter the tower, and so far, no one under that age has managed to defeat me."

"Ye Chen, do you think you can be the first to break through all eighteen levels?"

In the end, Yan Ling'er, with a smile, asked Ye Chen.
