Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 911 - 861: Ye Chen’s Choice (First Update)

"Ye Chen... he succeeded?!"

"He actually managed to break free from the immense pulling force of the undersea mountain peak and escape this trapped land. It seems the secret to escaping this place truly lies in the 'Purple Silver Pearl'!"

Seeing Ye Chen completely vanish from sight, the remaining dozen or so God Kings were utterly shocked.

They also wanted to leave this place of entrapment.

But unfortunately, none of them had Ye Chen's breathtaking 'Changeable' divine skills and could not transform into the 'Purple Silver Pearl' to escape the pulling force.

"Will Ye Chen... come back?"

At this moment, a God King fearfully asked aloud.

Earlier, amidst the eruption of countless Purple Silver Pearls from nine massive pits, it had been Ye Chen who saved him.

This God King was worried that if Ye Chen did not return, then if another eruption of Purple Silver Pearls occurred, he would be killed directly within the undersea mountain peak.

"I fear he won't come back..." Several other God Kings sighed and shook their heads.

In their eyes, Ye Chen had barely managed to escape this perilous region, and if it were them, they would absolutely never return.

At this thought, these God Kings suddenly felt a wave of fear.

If Ye Chen truly did not return, they would lose their greatest source of support in this treacherous undersea mountain peak.

In the crowd, Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes stared at the spot where Ye Chen had disappeared, her gaze filled with complex emotions.

She was both happy that Ye Chen had escaped and worried for herself, still trapped within the undersea mountains, with an uncertain future.

Finally, Mu Qingxue murmured softly, "Ye Chen, you'd better not return. It's enough that you made it out. If you come back and encounter danger again, it would be troublesome."

"As for me, I won't give up searching for a way out!"

Mu Qingxue clenched her fists tightly.

The minds of everyone present were filled with conflicting thoughts.

Meanwhile, Ye Chen, transformed into the 'Purple Silver Pearl,' was rushing toward the surface of the Sea of Mist's Red Light Death Zone.

Whoosh!

The explosive speed of the 'Purple Silver Pearl' was taken to an extremely high level.

And as he surged upward, Ye Chen's heart was filled with boundless joy: "It works! Using the 'Primordial Star Scripture,' Fifth Chapter, 'Taiyi Chapter' with its Changeable Divine Skills to transform into the 'Purple Silver Pearl' can indeed break free of the immense pulling force of the undersea mountain!"

The method Ye Chen had just used to 'transform' into the 'Purple Silver Pearl,' was none other than the techniques of the Taiyi Chapter.

When he first accessed the Taiyi Chapter, Ye Chen had already experimented with the fascinating Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations within the Demon Tomb.

He never expected that this divine skill would now save his life in this Sea of Mist!

His mind brimming with joy, Ye Chen's speed did not slow in the slightest, and within moments, he had soared ten thousand feet toward the surface.

Within the span of a cup of tea, he successfully ascended another fifty to sixty thousand feet, breaking free to the sea surface of the Red Light Death Zone!

Clink.

As the 'Purple Silver Pearl' into which Ye Chen had transformed floated above the surface of the Red Light Death Zone, Ye Chen's heart surged with exhilaration, and he could barely resist letting out a long exclamation of joy.

The feeling of escaping danger, of the sea breeze brushing against him once more, was simply indescribable!

Ye Chen also had a strong intuition—having unlocked the ability to transform into the 'Purple Silver Pearl,' the Sea of Mist might no longer pose any threat to him.

He finally had the means to comprehensively explore this mysterious Sea of Mist!

...

"This young lad keeps surprising us!"

"'Changeable Divine Skills!' He must undoubtedly be the disciple of some major figure in the Cosmic Sea. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to cultivate divine skills of this caliber while still in the God King Realm."

As Ye Chen transformed into the 'Purple Silver Pearl' and surged toward the sea surface of the Red Light Death Zone, soft voices echoed within the mysterious region of the Fourth Layer World of Heavenly God Mountain.

These voices were the same mysterious voices Ye Chen had heard deep within Heavenly God Mountain during his trial in the First Layer World, when he shattered the World of the Death Fruit.

At that time, those mysterious voices had revealed themselves to be stationed in Heavenly God Mountain under orders from the Ancestral God Temple and called each other Divine Masters.

These Divine Masters had taken notice of Ye Chen when he used Starry Origin power to shatter the World of the Death Fruit.

Now, seeing Ye Chen break free from the undersea depths of the Red Light Death Zone, these Divine Masters were once again astonished!

"I thought this time the young lad was doomed—sucked into the Red Light Death Zone by the once-in-millennia eruption of the Sea of Mist storm and trapped there. Even if he did manage to escape, I expected it would be through entering the Purple Ore Mystery Realm and unlocking the secrets of the Purple Crystal Divine Mountain. Who would have thought he'd escape using such 'Changeable Divine Skills'? Truly unexpected!" one aged Divine Master exclaimed.

"Indeed, entirely unexpected," another Divine Master agreed. "I recall this young lad had already collected tens of thousands of Purple Silver Pearls before being pulled into the Red Light Death Zone. Now that he's escaped, the requirement of one thousand Purple Silver Pearls for the second-layer trial of Heavenly God Mountain is fulfilled."

"It seems the next challenge he'll face will be in the Third Layer World of Heavenly God Mountain. The trial here in the Second Layer World is no longer relevant to him."

As this Divine Master spoke, another voice interjected, "That might not be certain. The young lad seems to have a connection with that girl still trapped in the Number 205 Undersea Mountain Region. Perhaps he'll return to save her rather than merely escaping."

These Divine Masters had witnessed Ye Chen rescuing Mu Qingxue from Sima Liao earlier.

The girl they mentioned was indeed Mu Qingxue.

"Return to the undersea mountain?" Hearing this suggestion, several Divine Masters chuckled lightly. "The Red Light Death Zone may be the deadliest territory—a near-certain death trap. However, if one can grasp the hidden opportunities within, they might uncover treasures more valuable than the Purple Silver Pearls."

"If the young lad dares to return to the undersea mountain region, it might not be a bad move."

"Let's see what choice he makes!"

After this brief exchange, the Divine Masters guarding Heavenly God Mountain fell silent once more.

...

Above the sea surface of the Red Light Death Zone in the Sea of Mist.

Ye Chen remained in his 'Purple Silver Pearl' transformation.

However, instead of leaving the Red Light Death Zone and returning to the Yellow Light Danger Zone or the Green Light Safe Zone, Ye Chen continued to roam within the Red Light Death Zone.

"Perhaps those God Kings still trapped are wondering if I've abandoned them to escape on my own."

Ye Chen let out a faint chuckle.

"How could I give up exploring such a wondrous place as this Sea of Mist so easily?"

Since discovering that transforming into the Purple Silver Pearl could break the immense pulling force of the undersea mountain, Ye Chen had no intention of abandoning those trapped or escaping alone.

Ye Chen still aimed to fully unravel the mysteries of this enigmatic Sea of Mist!

Especially since the trial period for exploring the Second Layer World of Heavenly God Mountain had only lasted five days so far, and there were nearly three months remaining—he had no reason to stop prematurely.

Moreover, Mu Qingxue was still trapped underwater.

Mu Qingxue, being Long Li's friend, could not be abandoned—Ye Chen did not wish to face Long Li later and admit that he'd left Mu Qingxue behind, choosing his own escape.

Unless rescuing her was truly impossible, Ye Chen was determined to dedicate time to studying the Sea of Mist's mysteries and finding a way to help Mu Qingxue escape!

With that resolve, Ye Chen's transformed 'Purple Silver Pearl' released the Purple Silver Pearls he had collected earlier, spreading them out to hover in front of him.

Inspecting the pearls, Ye Chen counted each one carefully.

"Including the hundred-plus Purple Silver Pearls I gathered earlier, all of these together amount to fifty-six thousand nine hundred forty-four Pearls!"

"Subtracting the thousand Pearls required to access the Third Layer World of Heavenly God Mountain, I'll still have fifty-five thousand nine hundred-plus Pearls left! This quantity is an astonishing fortune—it could rival the wealth of powerful Immortal Divine Venerables or even ordinary Sovereigns!"

With a thought, Ye Chen collected all the Purple Silver Pearls again.

"The Purple Silver Pearl collection task is complete. Now, the real questions remain: first, to investigate the source of the eruptions in those nine massive pits beneath the mountain; second, how to help Mu Qingxue escape from the depths!"

Mu Qingxue could not, like Ye Chen, transform into the Purple Silver Pearl and flee from the undersea depths. Furthermore, the Thousand Changes and Ten Thousand Transformations divine skills of the Taiyi Chapter required the Stars Tower for cultivation, making it impossible for Mu Qingxue to learn them.

Ye Chen had to think of a different solution to help Mu Qingxue.

"Perhaps the escape method also lies in those nine massive pits. Over the remaining two-plus months, I'll thoroughly investigate those pits and the Purple Silver Pearls that erupt from them!"

With this plan in mind, Ye Chen's 'Purple Silver Pearl' form surged downward once more, heading back into the Red Light Death Zone and toward the undersea mountain peak where he had previously been trapped.

Ye Chen did consider exploring other underwater areas of the Red Light Death Zone to check on other challengers who had been dragged into danger by the purple storm.

However, after some thought, he dismissed the idea. On the one hand, he needed to focus on saving Mu Qingxue; on the other, he didn't wish to risk entering unknown dangers within the Red Light Death Zone.

After the span of a cup of tea.

Ye Chen returned to the original undersea mountain region.

Seeing the 'Purple Silver Pearl' fly back and transform once more into Ye Chen, the previously despairing eleven God Kings jumped up with joy: "Ye Chen, you returned?!"

Mu Qingxue's beautiful eyes also revealed an expression of unexpected surprise: "Ye Chen, why did you come back?"

Looking at the eleven God Kings, Ye Chen could tell from their eyes that they hoped for his return. Clearly, they saw him as their source of support, believing their chances of survival depended on him.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded at them.

He understood their desire to live.

As for Mu Qingxue's words, Ye Chen could sense that she wasn't happy about his return—rather, she seemed worried.

Evidently, Mu Qingxue feared his return would plunge him into danger once more.

Ye Chen directed a smile at Mu Qingxue: "How could I just leave you trapped here at the undersea mountain? If I meet Long Li in the future, she might blame me for abandoning you!"

"With over two months left, I'll see what I can do to get all of you out of the undersea mountain!"
