Primordial Star Scripture

Looking at the girl's appearance, Ye Chen also felt some heartache.

He sensed that the closer they got to the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, the more Jiang Yao seemed unable to bear it, as if there was something in the upper region that was restraining her.

Ye Chen's large hand tightly held onto Jiang Yao, while the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid from his Sword Palace Acupoint shot out, forming a protective barrier around Jiang Yao that slightly alleviated some of the heavy pressure she was under.

"Ye Chen, it's so strange,"

"Why does this top area suppress me like this?"

Jiang Yao's brow furrowed tightly. She didn't want to hold Ye Chen back, nor did she want to feel this peculiar sensation!

"Perhaps it's because of those nine Treasure Instruments, could it be that the Sword Intents on those instruments are restraining your Sword Qi Spirit Liquid?"

Ye Chen was also somewhat baffled.

"Let's go, Jiang Yao, no matter how difficult it is, I will protect you, and we will move forward together!"

Ye Chen held Jiang Yao's hand even tighter, as he would not let go of her hand at this critical moment!

Boom! Boom!

Together, they flew into the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, entering the midst of the Fire Waterfall's glow.

As soon as they entered the Fire Waterfall's glow, Jiang Yao let out a groan, as the Fire Waterfall's light that swept toward her even made the protective barrier formed by Ye Chen tremble intensely.

Ye Chen's heart tightened, and he summoned more Sword Qi Spirit Liquid, thickening the protective barrier around Jiang Yao's body a few more layers.

In this manner, the two slowly climbed towards the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

After one day's time, when they had painstakingly climbed more than a hundred zhang, the nine Treasured Swords at the very top of the mountain suddenly emitted a great red glow. The red light struck Jiang Yao beside Ye Chen, causing her to fall down, and Ye Chen, who refused to release her hand, fell as well.

Boom! Boom!

The two of them fell back to the place they'd just entered the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

All of that day's climbing was utterly wasted!

Jiang Yao bit her red lips, and looking up toward the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain, a resolute light flashed in her beautiful eyes: "Ye Chen, leave me be, it seems these nine Treasure Instruments are targeting me, and I'm probably not destined for the Flying Sword Heritage."

"You go up the mountain on your own. With me, you simply cannot reach the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain!"

"Jiang Yao!" Ye Chen's eyes stared intently into Jiang Yao's, staring so hard that she didn't dare to meet his gaze.

"Don't talk like that; we agreed to climb the mountain together. Let's go, this is just the beginning; the two of us are not people who give up easily!"

Ye Chen pulled, enveloping Jiang Yao with all the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid he could muster, and holding her hand, once more charged into the heat of the Fire Waterfall's glow.

This time, the two of them climbed continuously until they were three hundred zhang high, leaving only around eight hundred zhang from the summit!

Boom! Boom!

A terrifying cascade of Fire Waterfall glow surged toward them forcefully once again, knocking them back to their starting point!

Ye Chen clenched his teeth, and without waiting for Jiang Yao to speak, pulled her into the midst of the Fire Waterfall's glow again.

Thus, he and Jiang Yao spent eight days' time, charging into the Fire Waterfall over a hundred times, yet they were unable to cross the final region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain!

Just one more day until the month-long trial at Ten Thousand Swords Mountain would end!

Only one last day remained.

If they couldn't climb to the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain in that time, both Ye Chen and Jiang Yao would be eliminated in this stage of the trial!

At this moment, having been washed down once more, Jiang Yao shook off Ye Chen's hand and ran down the mountain without looking back.

"Ye Chen, leave me alone!"

"There's only one day left; I don't want to be a burden on you!"

"I've already reached the Spirit Sea Realm, and my primary combat skills also have nothing to do with the cultivation of the sword. Even if I don't receive the Flying Sword Heritage, it's fine; but it's different for you!"

Jiang Yao's voice carried a sobbing tone.

She wanted to reach the summit with Ye Chen, but this final segment of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain just wouldn't let her pass.

She didn't want to weigh Ye Chen down. Every time Ye Chen insisted on pulling her up the mountain, only to be cruelly knocked back down, it hurt her more than falling herself.

"It's the last day."

"Without me, Ye Chen still has hope of reaching the summit, I hope he can successfully obtain the Flying Sword Heritage."

Jiang Yao thought as she ran, suddenly feeling light, she was scooped up around the waist.

The person who held her, with a breath she was utterly familiar with, that steadfast gaze, that handsome face, who could it be if not Ye Chen!

"Jiang Yao, being able to meet you inside the Thousand Lotus Cave Abode has already satisfied me," Ye Chen said.

"My gains have been many indeed!"

"As for the Flying Sword Heritage, let's just leave it aside. If you want to go, I'll accompany you."

Ye Chen gave a light smile, exuding an indescribable carefreeness.

What did it matter if he didn't get the Flying Sword Heritage? Having Jiang Yao was enough. In Ye Chen's heart, Jiang Yao, with whom he had spent these days, had become much more important than the Flying Sword Heritage.

How could he possibly leave Jiang Yao behind for the sake of the Flying Sword Heritage?

"Ye Chen..."

Wrapped in Ye Chen's embrace around the waist, Jiang Yao's entire delicate body softened, her head spinning slightly. However, thinking of the imminent end of the Ten Thousand Swords Mountain trial, she snapped back to her senses.

"No, you can't give up!"

"That Flying Sword Heritage was left by a Heavenly Saint Realm powerhouse. Once you obtain it, it will definitely be of great use."

"Don't worry about me!"

Jiang Yao struggled in Ye Chen's arms.

"I don't have to give up, but you have to promise me to try one last day with me," Ye Chen said, looking into her eyes and smiling.

"If on this last day we still can't make it, then it means we're truly not destined for the Flying Sword Heritage, and then we can leave."

Jiang Yao looked deeply into Ye Chen's bright eyes and finally nodded.

From Ye Chen's gaze, she understood that if she didn't agree, he might truly give up this last effort.

"You... put me down! I agree, okay!"

Jiang Yao's face blushed, and she started to struggle again in Ye Chen's arms.

This time, Ye Chen let out a hearty laugh and set the girl down. Then, he took Jiang Yao's hand and headed towards the upper reaches of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain once again.

The two re-entered the brilliance of the fire waterfalls at the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Climbing! Falling!

Climbing! Falling again!

When the final day was about to end, when Jiang Yao sighed faintly, her gaze filled with affection as she looked at Ye Chen, and as Ye Chen shook his head helplessly,

two awe-inspiring luminosities suddenly burst forth from the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

These two awe-inspiring luminosities, one red and one blue, poured down from the summit in a frenzy. The nine Treasure Instruments, the treasured swords, all trembled violently under the downpour of these two lights.

Where the two luminosities swept across, all the fire waterfalls in the upper region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain extinguished, and then, the lights shot into the Sword Palace Acupoints between the brows of Ye Chen and Jiang Yao.

As the crimson light entered Ye Chen's Sword Palace, a familiar and intimate feeling overwhelmed him. The fatigue from the past nine days dissipated under the invasion of this light.

And Jiang Yao, who had been gasping for breath under the oppression of the fire waterfall's light, felt her whole body lighten as the blue light entered her Sword Palace Acupoint, all the suppressed feelings vanishing, the Sword Qi Spirit Liquid within her Sword Palace Acupoint surged joyfully again.

"What's happening?"

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao both looked towards the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Then, they saw two small sword-shaped seeds, one red and one blue, suspended in the lights halfway up the sky, slowly rotating.

The two small sword-shaped seeds, even smaller than a fingernail, yet the light they emitted enabled Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who were more than a thousand zhang away, to see them clearly.

"The Flying Sword Heritage?"

"Could it be, this is the Flying Sword Heritage that Senior Qian Ji spoke of?"

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao thought this as they looked at the two small sword-shaped seeds.

Without any hesitation, they took hands and rushed toward the peak of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

Without the obstructing light of the fire waterfalls, they moved quickly, even faster than at the lowest region of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain.

One thousand zhang, five hundred zhang, three hundred zhang...

Ten meters, eight meters, five meters, three meters!

Boom!

In the final moment, the two of them together reached the summit of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain simultaneously!

The second trial of Ten Thousand Swords Mountain was finally and completely cleared!
