Primordial Star Scripture

The Spirit of the Sacred Artifact's sigh resounded ethereally.

Ye Chen and the golden monkey, who were related to its words, heard none of what the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact said.

At this moment, the golden monkey had already dived into the ripples of the golden lake, and Ye Chen had officially entered the Ancient God Tower.

The first level of the Ancient God Tower.

This was a space thousands of zhang in area, as vibrant and multicolored as the land outside the tower. With every casual step Ye Chen took, the ground emitted patches of light.

However, unlike the outside of the Ancient God Tower, upon entering the first level, Ye Chen felt as though the entire space was somewhat distorted, with an indescribable sense of weirdness.

"The flow of time inside the Ancient God Tower is completely different from the outside; ten days of training inside the tower amounts to only one day outside. Could this difference in the flow of time be caused by the spatial distortion?"

Ye Chen pondered the strange sensation inside the first level of the Ancient God Tower.

The "Time Law" involved with the Ancient God Tower was so profound that even experts of the Heavenly Saint Realm could not fully grasp it, not to mention Ye Chen with his current strength and perspective.

Not understanding, Ye Chen decided not to dwell on it. He looked around the various parts of the space on the first level.

"According to the Artifact Spirit, each level of the Ancient God Tower only provides thirty days of training time. To obtain another thirty days, one must pass the trials of that level and enter the next one."

"Where is this trial?"

"And where is the entrance to the next level?"

Although Ye Chen intended to train for the full thirty days on each level before moving on to the next, he needed to figure out the trial's nature and the entrance to the next level in advance.

As Ye Chen was surveying his surroundings, a burst of light suddenly emanated from the end of the space stretching thousands of zhang. With a booming sound, a massive Teleportation Array appeared, and at the same time, a stone golem over seven or eight meters tall appeared beside the Array.

"Challenger!"

Upon its appearance, the giant stone golem looked towards Ye Chen and spoke.

For Ye Chen, who was now in this mysterious Ancient God Tower where even the flow of time could be altered, the appearance of a talking stone golem no longer surprised him.

He stared at the massive stone golem, eager to hear what it might say.

The stone golem, towering seven or eight meters high and wielding a massive stone club, spoke to Ye Chen, "I am the Guardian of the first floor of the Ancient God Tower!"

"If you can kill me, you will receive a Teleportation Token that provides access to the second level. You may choose to enter the second level immediately or continue training on this floor. After the maximum training time on the first floor is reached, the Teleportation Token will automatically transport you to the second level."

"If you fail to kill me and obtain the Teleportation Token before the training time on the first level ends, you will be directly teleported out of the Ancient God Tower and lose the opportunity to continue ascending the tower!"

After saying this, the massive stone golem stood guard beside the Teleportation Array, no longer speaking.

"Is this stone golem the trial of this level?"

"By killing it and obtaining the Teleportation Token, I qualify to enter the next level?"

With just a few words from the stone golem, Ye Chen understood how to progress through the levels of the Ancient God Tower.

"Let's test the strength of this stone golem!"

Ye Chen decided to kill the stone golem first, obtain the Teleportation Token, then train on this level for the maximum thirty days, and await automatic transmission to the next level to continue the challenges.

"According to the Artifact Spirit, I should easily conquer the first nine levels."

"This guardian of the first level should be easy to deal with!"

"Let's not waste time, then. After obtaining the Teleportation Token, I can train in peace!"

Having made up his mind, Ye Chen hesitated no longer and walked straight towards the seven or eight-meter-tall stone golem.

When Ye Chen was three to four meters away from the stone golem, within its striking range, the massive stone golem instantly lifted the huge stone club in its hands and swung it towards Ye Chen.

Whoosh!

At the very moment the stone golem made its move, Ye Chen lightly flicked his finger and a Sword of True Qi abruptly formed in the void. In an instant, the Sword of True Qi shot towards the stone golem with explosive force.

Thud!

In one move, the Sword of True Qi pierced directly into the golem's head, and then the immense True Qi Power completely shattered the stone golem into dust.

Along with the stone golem's destruction, a "thunk" was heard, and an ancient-looking Teleportation Token fell to the ground.

"The guardian of the first level of the Ancient God Tower should be equivalent to an ordinary practitioner of True Qi at the seventh layer."

"Just as the Spirit of the Sacred Artifact said, it posed no challenge to me!"

Ye Chen reached out his hand and drew the fallen Teleportation Token into his grasp.

"With this Teleportation Token, I can train in peace for thirty days!"

After thirty days of training, the Teleportation Token would automatically transport him to the second level of the Ancient God Tower, so Ye Chen didn't need to worry about anything else.

"Time to train! "

"Training in the first level of the Ancient God Tower for thirty days means only three days pass by outside. I can gain an additional twenty-seven days of training, I must seize this opportunity to enhance my strength!"

With that thought, Ye Chen immediately sat down in the first level of the Ancient God Tower and entered into deep training.

...

Thirty days later, amidst a glow and a sound, Ye Chen, who was deeply immersed in his training, was roused from his meditation.

This time upon awakening, Ye Chen was completely different from when he had started his training.
