Primordial Star Scripture

Snowdrift Peak was considered the most serene among the eight Inner Peaks of Taixuan Sect.

However, the other Inner Peaks were a different story, as the true disciples went crazy trying to break into the top ten of the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking and secure a spot in the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb.

Especially the disciples in the later stages of the Spirit Sea Realm who had the strength to reach the top ten, they were all furiously gathering true transmission points by various means every day.

Under the influence of these late-stage Spirit Sea Realm disciples, the other true disciples also strived with unmatched effort, causing their true transmission points to skyrocket!

The rankings of Taixuan Sect's True Inheritance Spirit Ranking changed daily.

Amidst these changes, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who were focusing on cultivation without actively pursuing true transmission points, saw their rankings plummet rapidly.

When more than ten days passed, Jiang Yao's situation was slightly better; she slid from third to thirty-ninth on the ranking, while Ye Chen had been practicing under Sister Yu ever since he joined Taixuan Sect and had never specifically sought true transmission points.

His true transmission points remained at just over ten thousand, which he had obtained during the true disciple selection conference.

Ye Chen's ranking plummeted directly from twenty-eighth to one hundred and seventy-eight!

When there were only ten days left before the month was up, Ye Chen even disappeared from the True Inheritance Spirit Ranking, dropping out of the top three hundred!

And Jiang Yao also fell to beyond one hundred!

"How come Sister Jiang Yao's ranking has dropped so much? Does she not plan to aim for the top ten of the Spirit Ranking and enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb?"

"With such a huge opportunity like the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb, is she going to miss it?!"

All true disciples were paying close attention to the Spirit Ranking, and when they saw Jiang Yao's rank continuously falling, everyone took notice.

After all, Jiang Yao was the favorite disciple of Fairy Jia Luo, the most powerful figure in Taixuan Sect, and was also widely recognized as Taixuan Sect's number one talent, naturally drawing immense attention.

As for Ye Chen, apart from a few who still remembered him, many people had long forgotten this youth who had shown brilliant talent during the selection of true disciples.

After all, since Ye Chen had joined Taixuan Sect, he had been very low-profile.

When there were only seven days left before the entry to the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb, and also seven days until the top ten rankings of the Spirit Ranking were finalized, on that day, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, who had completed the training for all four Sword Formations, finally came out of Sister Yu's courtyard.

The two planned to temporarily stop their Sword Formation training and start preparing for entry into the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb.

During this time, Ye Chen's True Qi Realm had finally advanced smoothly to the twelfth layer, and he now had twelve grand Gang Yuan True Qi vortices inside his body, giving his True Qi power yet another significant boost!

Ye Chen was fully prepared for the breakthrough to Spirit Sea Realm!

However, before attempting the Spirit Sea Realm, Ye Chen first planned to challenge for the top ten of the Spirit Ranking!

While the other true disciples had been madly pursuing the Spirit Ranking for over twenty days, Ye Chen and Jiang Yao, as a pair, finally decided to put a stop to their sliding ranks and start their charge at the Spirit Ranking!

The first destination they went to together was one of the three major trial sites for earning true transmission points in Taixuan Sect, the "Phantom Beast Tower"!

The Phantom Beast Tower, a place where Taixuan Sect's true disciples could enter once a month.

Killing Phantom Beasts within it granted true transmission points, and the more powerful the beasts slain during this one chance, the more points one would earn.

This was the most important spot for the sect's true disciples to gain true transmission points, where those ranked higher would widen the gap by earning points particularly within this Phantom Beast Tower.

When Ye Chen and Jiang Yao arrived at the Phantom Beast Tower together, the true disciple in charge of overseeing the trials at the tower unconsciously rubbed his eyes.

"Sister Jiang Yao!"

"Finally, we see Sister Jiang Yao appear!"

```

"The day to enter the Heavenly Saint Ancient Tomb is nearing, is she finally going to make a push for the Spirit Ranking?"

Jiang Yao had been cultivating with Ye Chen all this time, and others had assumed that she had given up contending for the top ten of the Spirit Ranking. Now seeing her appear outside the Trial Tower, they were naturally surprised.

"Who is this young man holding hands with Disciple Sister Jiang Yao?" When this true disciple saw Ye Chen beside Jiang Yao, he was stunned.

Jiang Yao, the girl secretly adored by countless true disciples in the Taixuan Sect, was actually together with this young man?

This true disciple looked at Ye Chen with overwhelming curiosity.

Ye Chen and Jiang Yao offered the true disciple a light smile, took the Trial Nameplates that recorded their trial performances, and then stepped into the Phantom Beast Tower together.

The true disciple waited outside.

One hour, two hours, three hours...

The longer the wait, the more shocked the true disciple became.

One must understand, in the trials within the Phantom Beast Tower, hunting Phantom Beasts, if one ultimately faces a life-and-death danger from a Phantom Beast, the protective nameplate will directly eject them from the Phantom Beast Tower.

The longer one stays in the Phantom Beast Tower, the more Phantom Beasts they have hunted, and the more true transmission points they can obtain.

Those who could stay inside the Phantom Beast Tower for three hours were without exception, the late Spirit Sea Realm disciples of immense power within the Taixuan Sect!

That Jiang Yao could stay for three hours didn't surprise this true disciple, but the fact that the young man who came with her—whom he didn't recognize at all—also stayed for three hours completely astonished him.

"Who is this young man?"

"When did such a formidable figure arrive at our Taixuan Sect? Why have I never seen him come here for trials?"

"True Qi Realm, I can clearly sense that he's at the True Qi Realm, how could he possibly stay such a long time in the trial tower?"

The true disciple overseeing the Phantom Beast Tower trials became increasingly incredulous as he waited.

When he had waited until the fourth hour, he was so shocked he couldn't speak.

Being able to stay for four hours meant, without a doubt, possessing the strength to take on the top ten of the Taixuan Sect Spirit Ranking!

This young man, could he be that powerful?!

Just as the true disciple was stunned to the point of disbelief, Jiang Yao and Ye Chen were almost simultaneously ejected from the Phantom Beast Tower.

When he saw that on their nameplates, they had slain thousands of low-grade great demon Phantom Beasts, hundreds of mid-grade great demon Phantom Beasts, and even over ten high-grade great demon Phantom Beasts, the true disciple was totally dumbfounded.

Whoosh!

When the true transmission points for hunting Phantom Beasts were recorded through the Trial Nameplates into their true disciple tokens, both of their points surged by seventy or eighty thousand points at the same time!

Boom!

In an instant, the "True Inheritance Spirit Ranking" of all the Inner Peaks of the Taixuan Sect lit up, and everyone noticed that two names appeared simultaneously in the top thirty positions.

When they saw these two names, everyone exclaimed, "Jiang Yao, Disciple Sister Jiang Yao has finally made her move, she's returned to the top thirty, and has leapt from over a hundredth place straight to twenty-third!"

And when they saw the name next to Jiang Yao's, everyone was stunned, "Ye Chen? Who is this Ye Chen who suddenly climbed to the twenty-ninth place? Why does it feel like I've heard this name before?"
