Primordial Star Scripture

When they saw these two figures smiling and conversing, all of the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, even the Skyscraper Palace Master, were so astonished that their mouths hung open.

As for many of the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent, they showed expressions of complete disbelief!

The warriors of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent were surprised that their continent's genius youth, Ye Chen, was actually able to converse so freely and easily with a top-level figure in the late stage of Heavenly Sacred.

Moreover, looking at the degree of politeness this top-level late-stage Heavenly Sacred figure showed towards Ye Chen, there was even a hint of inexplicable reverence!

To get such a top-level late-stage Heavenly Sacred figure to act this way in front of so many martial artists, one could only imagine how seriously he must regard Ye Chen!

The astonishment of the Skyscraper Palace Master from the barbarian warrior group was even more intense.

Being one of the three great palace masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, he was naturally extremely familiar with the top figures of all thirty-three continents.

The top-level late-stage Heavenly Sacred figure who had come from the sky, the Skyscraper Palace Master recognized him at a glance. This person was none other than Elder Minghua, the number one powerhouse from the Purple Dawn Continent who had some conflicts with their Barbaric Wilderness Continent at the Ninth Ancient Stele!

The Skyscraper Palace Master knew that Ye Chen would definitely come to train at the "Five Elements Divine Temple."

But for the life of him, he couldn't have imagined that Ye Chen would come along with Elder Minghua.

And that Elder Minghua would be so polite to Ye Chen!

This completely shattered the understanding of the Skyscraper Palace Master.

You must understand that Elder Minghua was an elder warrior mightier even than Palace Master Yuan Li. Although Palace Master Yuan Li's innate talent was stronger than Elder Minghua's, in terms of real combat power, the current Palace Master Yuan Li was still no match for Elder Minghua.

Such a personage, such a dominant existence from a whole continent, being so polite to a young boy?

If it weren't for the fact that this youth, Ye Chen, had already gotten the Skyscraper Palace Master used to surprises, the palace master might have thought he was hallucinating.

On the side of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, there was boundless astonishment.

The degree of surprise among those from the Purple Dawn Continent was by no means less than that on the Barbaric Wilderness Continent's side!

Many martial artists of the Purple Dawn Continent had never seen the number one person of their entire continent, their Supreme Elder, being so polite to any younger person!

The politeness even carried a sense of reverence.

If this were to be said out loud, probably no martial artists from the entire Purple Dawn Continent would believe it.

Among the group of Purple Dawn Continent martial artists, some couldn't believe it because they recognized Ye Chen.

These martial artists had previously arrived in Rift Sky City on the Heavenly Evolution Continent and had already taken note of Ye Chen's wager fight with Huo Mei'er. Many had even witnessed the clash between Ye Chen and Ao Lei in the Sand Sea Palace firsthand.

They naturally knew this youth was Ye Chen from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent.

Although they recognized Ye Chen's prowess and that he even had two senior Heavenly Sacred helpers with him, they couldn't imagine that Ye Chen would have gone so far as to develop a relationship with their Supreme Elder.

And that their Supreme Elder would personally introduce him to the matters within the Five Elements Divine Temple!

Many of the other martial artists below the Eighteenth Ancient Steles, knowing the previous dissension between the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and the Purple Dawn Continent over the Ninth Ancient Stele, couldn't help but ponder, "The warriors from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent had suffered a loss at the Ninth Ancient Stele."

"Previously, even when the Skyscraper Palace Master came, he wasn't able to save face, and now it's very likely that things will change..."

"If Ye Chen really has the strength to make even Elder Minghua extremely courteous, then we are in for a good show!"

The martial artists below exhibited various expressions, while Elder Minghua in the sky, after discussing the Eighteenth Ancient Steles with Ye Chen, had already descended with Ye Chen to the plaza of the Five Elements Divine Temple where the steles resided.

Ye Chen had already seen the Skyscraper Palace Master in the sky, and as soon as he descended, he hastened to fly over to him.

Elder Minghua, with a smile, glanced at the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent and, instead of going over to their side first, followed Ye Chen to the Fourteenth Ancient Stele.

"Palace Master, you've arrived here so early." Ye Chen said with a smile to the Skyscraper Palace Master.

The Skyscraper Palace Master's face had not yet recovered from his shock. Seeing Ye Chen and Elder Minghua fly over to his side, he nodded with a smile at Ye Chen, then made a polite bow to Palace Master Minghua, "Minghua, I didn't expect you to come to the Five Elements Divine Temple."

As the Skyscraper Palace Master greeted Elder Minghua, the leading late-stage Heavenly Sacred presence from Jiumang Continent, a middle-aged man in grey, also approached Elder Minghua and started greeting him.

Elder Minghua smiled, "What a coincidence, I happened to run into Ye Chen on the way and came over with him."

Ye Chen?!

Hearing Elder Minghua call Ye Chen a friend once again, the leading late-stage Heavenly Sacred presence from Jiumang Continent couldn't help but size up Ye Chen.

And the Skyscraper Palace Master's expression became even more peculiar.

At that moment, realizing that the Skyscraper Palace Master and the leading late-stage Heavenly Sacred presence from Jiumang Continent were greeting this top-tier, late-stage Heavenly Sacred figure in black robes who had just flown in front of them, the martial artists of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent finally came to know who this black-robed elder was.

Upon hearing that this black-robed elder was the number one powerhouse from the Purple Dawn Continent with whom they had a conflict, the faces of the martial artists of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent also turned odd.

They hadn't expected that, following their dispute, the opposing side's number one powerhouse would actually come directly to them and be so exceedingly polite to Ye Chen from their continent.

Seeing everyone's strange expressions, Elder Minghua, with his keen insight, immediately spotted that something was amiss.

And Ye Chen too felt that something was off, also turning to look at the Skyscraper Palace Master.

"Skyscraper, what's going on, why do I feel that the gaze of the martial artists here towards me is quite hostile?" Elder Minghua asked with a smile, turning to the Skyscraper Palace Master.

The Skyscraper Palace Master waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, nothing at all."

Not wanting to explicitly mention the conflict between the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and the Purple Dawn Continent over the Ninth Ancient Stele, the Skyscraper Palace Master chose to remain silent. However, a Spiraling Pill late-stage youth from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent could no longer restrain himself and blurted out, "It's all because your Purple Dawn Continent's martial artists have gone too far, snatching away the Ninth Ancient Stele we had rightfully claimed!"

Halfway through his accusation, the youth realized he was speaking to a top-tier Heavenly Sacred late-stage existence and hurriedly quieted down.

But Elder Minghua instantly understood the situation.

Elder Minghua's expression also turned sour in an instant.

Had it been earlier, he might have scolded the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent, partly out of consideration for Palace Master Yuan Li from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent. Of course, his reprimand wouldn't have been too severe, and there was no way they would have given back the Ninth Ancient Stele.

But now, Ye Chen was standing right beside Elder Minghua.

When he saw Ye Chen frown upon hearing about the dispute between the two parties, Elder Minghua's heart skipped a beat!

Others might see Ye Chen as a talented young martial artist, but he knew just how formidable Ye Chen was!

Not only had this young man saved his life, he also possessed the techniques of a True God, and had the backing of a fearsome Void Sky True God!

Even now, he had a formidable Bing Shiyi within his Spatial Treasure!

The reason why Elder Minghua had been so courteous to Ye Chen all along, even showing a trace of reverence amidst a crowd of martial artists upon their arrival at the Five Elements Divine Temple, was not only because Ye Chen had saved his life. Another reason was the dread Ye Chen's true strength inspired in him.

At this moment, if he truly upset Ye Chen, the relationship he had built with Ye Chen during this journey would go to waste!

With this in mind, how could Elder Minghua remain calm? With his face darkening, his eyes swiftly turned toward the group of martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent under the Ninth Ancient Stele, and his furious voice directly reached the ears of the Purple Dawn Continent martial artists: "You actually snatched the Ninth Ancient Stele directly from the martial artists of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and even drove them away?!"

Elder Minghua, without inquiring about the cause of the incident or whether the side of the Barbaric Wilderness Continent was exaggerating, directly scolded the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent.

The implication of this was not lost on the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent and the others under the eighteen ancient steles.

It was clear that Elder Minghua had no intention of backing the Purple Dawn Continent but was instead holding the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent accountable!

Choosing not to support his own continent, but instead holding the other continent responsible—no one believed that Elder Minghua was simply being generous. They all suspected there was only one possible reason: it was because of Ye Chen, the young martial artist from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent who had come with Elder Minghua!

With that thought, the martial artists from the other continents carefully studied Ye Chen, curious to see what was so remarkable about this young man that could make a top-tier Heavenly Sacred late-stage expert pay him such attention and show such deference!

As for many of the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent, they felt a warm surge in their eyes, as the stifled resentment in their hearts seemed ready to burst forth!

They had been incensed when the best Ninth Ancient Stele had been snatched away by the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent.

And with the arrival of the Skyscraper Palace Master, they were even more disheartened that he had not been able to take a stand for them!

Now, they had never imagined that a talented young martial artist from their continent could make the most powerful figure of the opposing side personally handle the matter and speak up for them!Nôv(el)B\\jnn

The thought that they might punish the domineering martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent, even if they couldn't retrieve the Ninth Ancient Stele for enlightenment, made them want to shout out in exhilaration just for the sake of venting!

With eyes fixed on the group from the Purple Dawn Continent beneath the Ninth Ancient Stele, the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent were filled with anticipation.

But the martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent who were directly scolded by Elder Minghua were utterly petrified.

Elder Minghua.

He was the foremost figure of the Purple Dawn Continent, a legendary existence!

Who among the martial artists of the Purple Dawn Continent could bear his wrath?

At that moment, the five Heavenly Sacred late-stage strong martial artists from the Purple Dawn Continent immediately flew before Elder Minghua. Among them, two who were disciples of Elder Minghua immediately knelt before him: "Master, please calm your anger, we were not aware of these matters!"

"We will investigate and clarify this matter immediately!"

Those two Heavenly Sacred hastily questioned the martial artists that first came to the Ninth Ancient Stele from the Purple Dawn Continent: "Who caused the dispute with the Barbaric Wilderness Continent?"

Trembling, over twenty people from the Purple Dawn Continent stood up.

Their legs shaking, they could never have imagined that a conflict over the Ninth Ancient Stele with the Barbaric Wilderness Continent would provoke Elder Minghua's ire and escalate to this extent.

They could hardly believe what their fate would be if Elder Minghua truly decided to discipline them.

At this time, Ye Chen, having made sense of the entire situation, finally took a deep breath and spoke calmly, "Forget it, Minghua, let's leave the matter at that. However, the Ninth Ancient Stele must be returned to our people from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent."

This was the first time Ye Chen directly addressed Elder Minghua as "Minghua."

No longer calling him Elder Minghua as a senior!

Ye Chen had realized that the Purple Dawn Continent had clashed with the Barbaric Wilderness Continent and dared to snatch away their stele simply because the overall strength of the martial artists from the Barbaric Wilderness Continent was inferior to theirs.

Looked down upon because they were weaker?

If that was the case, then I, Ye Chen, will stand for the Barbaric Wilderness Continent!
