Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 553 - 509: The Catastrophe of The Great Purge Descends
Ye Chen remembered that Heavenly Saint Long Xuan had mentioned before that he had once sensed the power of Heavenly Saint Di Kong in the Ice Palace Snowfield of the Northern Region of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.
This was the closest Ye Chen had come to knowing of Heavenly Saint Di Kong’s whereabouts.
At the Sword Fighting Tournament in Immeasurable Mountain, Ye Chen had even encountered Murong Qiqi from the Ice Palace Snowfield.
Murong Qiqi had promised to help Ye Chen investigate news of Heavenly Saint Di Kong.
Later, Ye Chen had entered the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the Icebound Sub Temple, the Five Elements Mountain, Minor Pole Sky, and even been through the battle in the Southern Territory and the great war against Chixiao True God, as well as witnessing hundreds of true gods from the Lower Realm and countless True Spirits of both the Flying Spirit Clan and the Vermilion Bird Clan arriving from other realms— a series of momentous events.
Now, Ye Chen finally had the time and the power to look for Heavenly Saint Di Kong!
Although Ye Chen’s cultivation level was only in the early stages of Heavenly Saint Realm, his combat power was now unmatched across the entire Barbaric Wilderness Continent; he could go anywhere he wanted!
Ye Chen also remembered the scene when he first saw the incredible Dharma Embodiment of Heavenly Saint Di Kong through the Ancestral Blood within his family.
At that time, the true body of Heavenly Saint Di Kong was a golden behemoth taller than a Giant Mountain, its length over a thousand zhang, dressed in a Purple-Golden Holy Robe, crowned with a Gold-Illuminating Crown, wielding a huge black staff, and cloaked in a long red cape, standing proudly in the void— a majestic presence that left a deep impression on Ye Chen!
It was an indelible shock to a young boy who had just embarked on the path of Martial Arts upon seeing a Heavenly Saint level entity, especially one as divine and marvelous as the true body of Heavenly Saint Di Kong.
Even now, having reached the Heavenly Saint Realm and seen Divine Beasts from the Star Continent with even more divine marvels than Heavenly Saint Di Kong such as Bing Yi, Bing Wu, and Bing Qi, Ye Chen couldn’t forget Di Kong’s appearance.
Back then, it was the great opportunity left in the Ancestral Land by Heavenly Saint Di Kong, the "Ancient God Tower," that truly started Ye Chen’s peerless growth.
Ye Chen obviously wanted to find Heavenly Saint Di Kong now; on one hand, to let the little monkey meet Heavenly Saint Di Kong, and on the other, to warn Heavenly Saint Di Kong of the impending cleansing tribulation in the Beiming Divine Sea.
However, when Ye Chen actually traveled to the Ice Palace Snowfield in the Northern Region, he was completely taken aback.
In the Ice Palace Snowfield, Ye Chen found Murong Qiqi’s cultivation Sect, the Ice Snow Divine Palace, and met Murong Qiqi once again.
When Murong Qiqi took Ye Chen to a vast ice field deep within the Ice Palace Snowfield, claiming that this was where Di Kong had last been seen, Ye Chen conducted a thorough search of the entire ice field.
In the end, after Ye Chen had used his supreme power to completely search the ice field and even explored countless underground ice caves beneath it, he still failed to find any trace of Heavenly Saint Di Kong!
The little monkey by Ye Chen’s side was also extremely anxious!
Just as Ye Chen was puzzled about where Heavenly Saint Di Kong could have gone to and why he had yet to come looking for the little monkey, Ye Chen came across a massive Ice Cave in a deep underground ice cave of this Ice Palace Snowfield.
This Ice Cave gave Ye Chen the same feeling as when he had fallen into the endless Ice Cave in the South Pole Ice Field on Earth, where he had acquired the Stars Tower and then traversed to the Barbaric Wilderness Continent— the feeling was exactly the same!
This discovery completely astonished Ye Chen!
He had always wondered how he came to arrive at the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Now, discovering an Ice Cave that looked identical in the Ice Palace Snowfield, of course, shocked him immensely!
And when Ye Chen tried to enter this Ice Cave, he found that the entire cave emanated a strangely unique radiance of stars, and even with his strength now at True God level, he couldn’t enter this Ice Cave!
This Ice Cave, it seemed, was sealed by some unfathomable force!
Finding this significant revelation while searching for Heavenly Saint Di Kong made Ye Chen suddenly feel that the Barbaric Wilderness Continent might be more complex than it appeared.

Even when Ye Chen had finally called back Bing Yi, one of the Nine Tribulations True Gods who had rushed back from the other 33 continents, and found that even Bing Yi couldn’t enter the Ice Cave, Ye Chen knew that this cave was undoubtedly a realm beyond True God level.
Eventually, leaving with immense doubts, Ye Chen departed from this Ice Palace Snowfield in the Extreme North.

Although Heavenly Saint Di Kong was not found, Ye Chen could follow the instructions of the Artifact Spirit left by Heavenly Saint Di Kong and entrust the little monkey to the care of the Jin Di Clan where Heavenly Saint Di Kong resided.
However, Ye Chen was not at ease letting the little monkey stay alone with the Jin Di Clan.
Taking the little monkey into the perilous Beiming Divine Sea was something Ye Chen was even less comfortable with.
In the end, Ye Chen decided that should he be taken away by the Beiming Divine Sea, he would leave the little monkey in the care of Bing Yi.
Once he returned from the Beiming Divine Sea, he would continue looking after the little monkey.
When all matters were settled, Ye Chen began his true cultivation, in preparation for the imminent great catastrophe of the Beiming Divine Sea.
This cultivation was not about retreating for intensive training.
Having just finished a breakthrough in his realm, he was not in the state of mind for seclusion and arduous practice.
Moreover, Ye Chen wanted to make the most of his remaining time to accompany his parents.
So, during the day, Ye Chen would talk with his parents and the little maid Tao’er while contemplating his cultivation, and at night, he would practice the cultivation insights he had contemplated.
When they discovered Ye Chen’s current strength commanded the admiration of countless martial artists on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, Ye Chen’s parents swelled with pride for him.
And the little maid Tao’er could not believe that her young master, after going to the Taixuan Sect and then to the legendary Heavenly Sacred Palace, had now reached the unbelievable Heavenly Saint Realm; every time she saw Ye Chen, her eyes shone with stars, her admiration for her young master was utterly boundless!
Had it not been for the shadow of the great disaster of the Beiming Divine Sea looming over Ye Chen’s parents and the little maid Tao’er’s hearts, their excitement and pride would have been many times greater.
The little maid Tao’er even complained to Ye Chen, blaming his excessive martial prowess for this catastrophe; if he had not cultivated to the Heavenly Saint realm, this great disaster would not even exist.
Ye Chen, of course, just smiled at Tao’er’s childish words.
He understood that the catastrophe was not something one could avoid by hiding; even if he did not go, with people like True Phoenix Mu Lan True God caught in it, he would not be at ease.
Although he could not take Bing Yi with him this time, he had three Heaven-reaching Divine Artifacts on him, as well as countless trump cards. His direct involvement was the only way to truly control many things!
The most critical aspects of Ye Chen’s contemplation and cultivation were threefold.
One was the Undying Divine Body and the Icebound Divine Body; another was the Primordial Chapter of the Primordial Star Scripture; and the third was the three major prohibitions of the Purple Blood Divine Sword: "Purple Light," "Extreme Lightning," and "Purple Lightning" sword techniques!
Especially for these three major prohibitions, Ye Chen applied the greatest effort.
These three major prohibited sword techniques could elevate the attack power of Ye Chen’s "Purple Blood Divine Sword" beyond that of a supreme-grade Divine Artifact, being the quickest means for Ye Chen to enhance his combat prowess. Hence, Ye Chen naturally studied them attentively.
Peaceful times always pass quickly.
When True Phoenix Mu Lan True God and others brought the members of the Divine Phoenix Clan back from the 33 continents in succession, when Jiang Yao had spent more than a month training in the Divine Phoenix Clan’s Time Flow Rate Divine Treasure—equivalent to nearly two years of real cultivation due to the tenfold time flow rate, and successfully advanced to the Heavenly Saint Realm, emerging from her training.
When Ye Chen had finally solidified the foundation of his Icebound Divine Body and Undying Divine Body, and mastered seventy percent of the "Purple Light" technique, the first prohibition of the Purple Blood Divine Sword.
Then, the massive upheaval in the Beiming Divine Sea arrived earlier than expected!
Just when Ye Chen and the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan had parted for only two months and ten days, the waters of the Beiming Divine Sea in the Minor Spirit Realm had completely drained, and the Thirty-Three Layers of the Undersea Divine Palace were now exposed.
And on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent where Ye Chen resided, the formal arrival of the great cleansing catastrophe could finally be sensed!
