Primordial Star Scripture

"Originally, my main body decided to seek revenge personally, but he left early to save Lian Yue and has already gone to the 'Minor Spirit Realm.' Even if he successfully finds the secret treasure to awaken Lian Yue, he'll have to wait at least another three thousand years for the Minor Spirit Realm to open again before he can come out,"

"Ye Chen, Jiang Yao, if you can successfully make the flying swords acknowledge you as their masters, can you do what I have just mentioned as the sole requirement for the person who obtains the 'Flying Sword Heritage'?"

The avatar of Qian Jizi gazed at Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao exchanged glances, and their eyes said it all.

"Senior Qian Jizi, we accept this condition!"

"Please inform us of the name and appearance of the person who fled!"

Not to mention the tremendous benefits they had received from the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode, even if they hadn't gained anything, knowing the past of Heavenly Saint Lian Yue and Heavenly Saint Qian Ji made them feel profound hatred toward the person who had betrayed and fled.

If they had the strength to capture him, of course, they would bring him back to the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode for Qian Jizi to deal with!

"Good, good!"

"There's no rush to inform you about that person's details. It is not too late to talk about it after you have successfully made the flying swords acknowledge you as masters,"

Seeing Ye Chen and Jiang Yao agree without hesitation lightened Qian Jizi's sorrowful mood somewhat.

"I set up the waterfall of radiant fire at the highest area of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain to push you to the limit, all to test your characters."

"In times of great difficulty, in the last moment, you did not abandon each other but chose to stick together. Only those with such character deserve the opportunity to have the flying swords acknowledge them as masters."

"Only such flying sword masters deserve to be entrusted with that sole requirement!"

"Now, begin the true final trial, the 'Flying Sword Acknowledgment,'"

It turns out the waterfall of radiant fire was deliberately set up by Qian Jizi to test their character.

Upon hearing Qian Jizi's words, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao finally understood why the radiant fire waterfall was so difficult to overcome, and why it had suddenly disappeared.

And when Qian Jizi mentioned starting the "Flying Sword Acknowledgment," both of them were invigorated at the same time.

It was about to start.

The Flying Sword Acknowledgment was finally about to begin!

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both turned their gazes towards the two tiny, sword-shaped seeds floating within the light ring.

"These 'Crimson Fire' and 'Ghostly Water' are twin swords, one male and one female, born together, mutually generating and accompanying each other. Ye Chen, you will acknowledge the 'Crimson Fire Flying Sword', while Jiang Yao, you will acknowledge the 'Ghostly Water Flying Sword'!"

"Above the flying swords, there are three prohibitions. Only by unraveling these three prohibitions can you begin to make the flying swords acknowledge you as masters. Now, I will teach you the secret spells to unlock the prohibitions on the 'Crimson Fire' and 'Ghostly Water' flying swords, listen carefully!"

As Qian Jizi spoke, the incantations to unlock the prohibitions on the flying swords flew directly into the minds of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

They closed their eyes, recited the spell three times, clearly memorizing every step, and then opened their eyes.

"Sit cross-legged one zhang opposite the 'Flying Swords', and begin to make them acknowledge you as masters!"

Ye Chen did as he was told, sitting cross-legged opposite the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword," while Jiang Yao sat opposite the "Ghostly Water Flying Sword."

They gazed at the flying swords they were about to make acknowledge them, their minds gradually calming down as they entered into the preparatory state of regulating their Qi and nurturing their spirits before unlocking the prohibitions.

After a short while, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao's eyes snapped open, and they began to cast spells with their hands simultaneously.

Hum! Hum!

At the moment they cast their spells, the Crimson Fire and Ghostly Water swords started to tremble violently.

On the tiny sword-shaped seeds, numerous wondrous patterns began to move, and three layers of divine light spread out like ripples.

These three layers of divine light were the three prohibitions for acknowledging the flying swords as masters.

The time to unlock the prohibitions had come!

Ye Chen was quietly staring at the "Crimson Fire" flying sword when he pointed his finger, and a drop of essence blood flew straight out.

The first prohibition, "Essence Blood Prohibition"!

Whoosh!

This drop of essence blood flew straight towards the "Crimson Fire," and at the perfect moment when the three layers of divine light on the sword rippled to a peculiar position, the essence blood directly entered "Crimson Fire."

Hum!

Upon contact with the "Crimson Fire," the essence blood completely enveloped the first layer of divine light. In an instant, the entire "Crimson Fire Flying Sword" vibrated wildly, bursting with brilliance, while Ye Chen's hand movements continued, beginning to fully deploy the spell to unlock the first prohibition!

Hum! Hum! Hum!

After a few moments, the wildly vibrating "Crimson Fire Flying Sword" suddenly stopped, hovering in mid-air, perfectly level with Ye Chen's gaze.

And the first layer of the divine light that ripples across its surface, had now disappeared.

The first prohibition, "Essence Blood Prohibition," had finally been unlocked!

Ye Chen's hand movements changed as he immediately began the procedure to release the second layer of prohibition.

From his Sword Palace Acupoint at his brow, three streams of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid shot out and flew towards the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword."

This second layer of prohibition was, indeed, the "Sword Qi Prohibition"!

Just like when he removed the first layer, the "Essence Blood Prohibition," at the precise moment when a halo of light circling the flying sword reached a mysterious instant, the three streams of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid struck the prohibitive halo.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

With this strike, the entire second layer of prohibition began to ripple crazily, and Ye Chen, manipulating the spell to remove the prohibition, had his hand seals moving in succession once again.

A full tea time passed before the second layer, "Sword Qi Prohibition," was finally broken.

Now, on the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword," the prohibitive halo that remained had been reduced to its final layer!

Facing this last layer of prohibition, Ye Chen's expression turned grave.

According to the spell passed down by Qian Jizi, this final prohibition was the most difficult one!

At the time of breaking this layer of prohibition, one must establish a wondrous connection with the flying sword; only then could the sword begin to recognize its master.

Ye Chen closed his eyes, following the spell, as his Divine Sense began to unfold slowly, inching towards the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword."

The third layer of prohibition was the "Divine Sense Prohibition"!

The three layers of prohibition, "Essence Blood Prohibition," "Sword Qi Prohibition," and "Divine Sense Prohibition," correspond to the three aspects of Essence, Qi, and Spirit! This is to achive fusion with the flying sword based on these three vital signs of life.

Now, Ye Chen was left with just the last hurdle, the "Divine Sense Prohibition"!

Whether he could establish a mysterious rapport with the flying sword at this juncture rested on this single effort!

Ye Chen dispelled all distracting thoughts, his mind focusing on nothing but the flying sword, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword!

As Ye Chen's Divine Sense approached the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, the last layer of the prohibitive halo that remained on the sword suddenly expanded and contracted.

And Ye Chen, following this rhythmic movement, began to enter a strange communication with the Crimson Fire Flying Sword.

After an incense stick's worth of time, Ye Chen's eyes snapped open as the flying sword burst into light, and the last layer of prohibition — the "Divine Sense Prohibition" — vanished amidst the radiance.

The Crimson Fire Flying Sword, with its three layers of prohibitive halos lifted, now revealed countless mysterious patterns on its small, sword-shaped seed even more clearly. These were the natural Divine Patterns of heaven and earth, the Divine Patterns of the flying sword!

With his eyes open, Ye Chen's gaze revealed a trace of joy as he felt the flying sword. He did not need to see it to sense the pulsating of the flying sword and its strange patterns!

The Sword Recognition was happening now!

In the Sword Palace Acupoint at Ye Chen's brow, countless streams of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid surged violently; at the same time, the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword," located within the halo of light, shot out with a "swoosh" and flew to the forefront of Ye Chen's brow.

"Capture!"

Ye Chen uttered the word softly, and at that instant, countless streams of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid flew out from the Sword Palace Acupoint, enveloping the Crimson Fire Flying Sword.

In this moment, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword did not flee; on the contrary, it flew directly towards the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid that Ye Chen had generated.

This was unmistakably the sign of successful recognition!

At this final moment, Ye Chen's expression was neither joyous nor sorrowful; all his focus immersed in the secret method of controlling the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword" and drawing it into the Sword Palace Acupoint.

After the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid had fully enveloped the flying sword, following the movement of his hand seals, there came a light buzzing sound as the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword" and the Spirit Liquid completely merged, shooting back towards the Sword Palace Acupoint at his brow.

Thud!

As the Crimson Fire Flying Sword entered the Sword Palace Acupoint at Ye Chen's brow, he sensed the life of the entire sword blossoming!

He felt the Crimson Fire Flying Sword merging with his mind and spirit!

The Sword Recognition was successful!

By then, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword, floating in the vast lake of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid within the Sword Palace Acupoint, was slowly being nourished by countless strands of Sword Qi Spirit Liquid. The tiny sword-shaped seed began its cultivation in the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid.

When Ye Chen's mind stirred, and his gaze suddenly shot towards a point next to the mountain peak, a crimson sword-shaped seed flew out from his brow, turning into a speck of red light, shooting in that direction at breakneck speed.

With another thought from Ye Chen, the speck of red light began to circle and dance around the mountaintop.

Ye Chen slowly extended his palm; the red light shot back and fell into his hand, revealing the original form of the "Crimson Fire Flying Sword."

This was the very ability to control the flying sword with ease!

"Flying Sword! This is my flying sword, the 'Crimson Fire Flying Sword'!"

Ye Chen examined the flying sword in his palm as though he was looking at an intimate companion.

From now on, the Crimson Fire Flying Sword would accompany him, joining him on his journey through the path of martial arts!

After observing the Crimson Fire Flying Sword for a while, Ye Chen stirred his mind, and the flying sword returned to the Sword Palace Acupoint at his brow, resuming its cultivation.

Ye Chen stood up from his meditative stance, turning to look at Jiang Yao beside him.

At this moment, Jiang Yao was also at the last moment of recognizing the "Ghostly Water Flying Sword"!
