Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 932 - 882: Passing Light of the God (First Update)
Here's the complete translation:
The third layer of Heavenly God Mountain, the World of Life Cavities and Death Cavities!
Entering the Death Cavity realm almost always leads to certain death.
Entering the Life Cavity realm, however, offers the hope of obtaining immense fortune, even secret inheritances surpassing the level of Sovereigns!
The words of this voice shook the minds and spirits of the more than ten thousand challengers upon the towering peak.
Every gaze turned toward the countless beams of Divine Light erupting into the sky from the ground below the peak.
They understood that each beam of Divine Light might signify a Death Cavity realm or a Life Cavity realm.
Of course, all challengers hope not to end up in a Death Cavity realm.
And naturally, they all hope to gain astounding fortune and secret inheritances from the Life Cavity realms!
"I wonder what's required to pass through the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain?"
"And how can we enter the fourth and final layer of Heavenly God Mountain?"
The challengers knew that since this voice mentioned the Life Cavity and Death Cavity realms, succeeding in the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain must somehow be connected to them.
Yet, they could not guess what that connection might be.
This voice seemed to sense the thoughts of the crowd and continued, saying: "To have reached the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain means you've already made it halfway through the trials of Heavenly God Mountain."
"And the challenges in the second half will be even more perilous!"
"You have two months to attempt the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain."
"The requirement for passing the third layer is that within this two-month period, you must successfully enter three Life Cavity realms. Each Life Cavity realm contains a 'Passing Light of the God.' Only by collecting three 'Passing Lights of the God' will you be deemed to have completed the trials of the third layer and qualify to enter the fourth layer of Heavenly God Mountain!"
"And the peril I mentioned lies in the following: First, in this 'World of Life Cavities and Death Cavities,' there are no markings to indicate which realms are Life Cavities or Death Cavities. In other words, it's entirely up to your luck to navigate through. To locate three Life Cavity realms amidst countless Death Cavity realms will be extremely difficult."
"A single moment of carelessness may trap you in a Death Cavity realm, leading to instant death!"
"This is the first great peril."
"The second great peril is that even if you successfully enter three Life Cavity realms, each Life Cavity realm presents its own trial. Some 'Passing Lights of the God' may be easy to obtain, while others might be exceptionally challenging. Whether you can ultimately collect all three and earn entry into the fourth layer of Heavenly God Mountain is also fraught with danger."
"If you fail to gather three 'Passing Lights of the God,' you will still be sealed within the third layer, unable to leave, and the result will almost certainly be death!"
"So, challengers, treasure your two months of trial time; head down to the 'World of Life Cavities and Death Cavities,' and seek your fortune and opportunities—to find your three 'Passing Lights of the God!'"
"Remember, each Life Cavity or Death Cavity realm can only be entered by one person. Once entered, regardless of whether the entrant survives or perishes, that realm will be sealed permanently."
"Thus, you can only rely on yourselves to search, choose, and attempt the challenge!"
With these final words, the voice vanished, leaving the more than ten thousand challengers staring blankly.
Heaven.
At this moment, fear gripped the hearts of these challengers.
They had long heard that the four layers of Heavenly God Mountain grew increasingly difficult as one ascended.
Now, they finally understood that this was no idle rumor!
A quick glance below revealed that there were likely tens of thousands of Life Cavity and Death Cavity realms. Finding the Life Cavity realms without being ensnared by the Death Cavity realms was an unimaginably daunting challenge.
Not to mention the trials within the Life Cavities themselves to obtain the "Passing Light of the God" as described by the voice.
At this moment, countless challengers set aside thoughts of the precious secret inheritances hidden within the Life Cavities. Surviving and securing three "Passing Lights of the God" would be a miracle worth celebrating!
Even Ye Chen, who stood among them, did not have complete confidence in passing this third layer of Heavenly God Mountain.
Ye Chen looked at the two inheritance tokens in his possession and pondered: "I have Sovereign Feng Luo's inheritance token and the set of tokens given by Lin Shan. According to the voice, these locations correspond to Life Cavity realms, meaning I can successfully enter two Life Cavity realms."
"However, to collect three 'Passing Lights of the God,' I must find a third Life Cavity realm as well."
"This search for the third realm will rely entirely on my luck. If I make a mistake and enter a Death Cavity realm, the dangers inside will surely surpass those of the 'World of the Death Fruit!'"
The World of the Death Fruit, after all, was merely one of the perilous trials of the first layer of Heavenly God Mountain.
It definitely pales in comparison to the dangers of the Death Cavities in this third layer.
As Ye Chen pondered, some challengers finally lost their patience and began to fly toward the World of Life Cavities and Death Cavities below the towering peak.
Despite overwhelming anxiety, one challenger spoke resolutely: "With only two months to challenge the third layer of Heavenly God Mountain, we must act swiftly!"
"No amount of hesitation will solve anything; we must locate three Life Cavity realms as quickly as possible. The only way forward is to seize the time and test our luck and judgment!"
Boom!
As the words were spoken, the challenger immediately descended from the peak, flying past numerous beams of Divine Light. Finally, after a brief hesitation, they entered a particular Divine Light relic.
No one knew whether this individual had entered a Life Cavity realm or a Death Cavity realm.
Yet, with someone taking the lead, others could no longer hold back. Immediately, they flew down to the ground below.
Ye Chen exchanged glances with the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Hua Xuelian, and the others before speaking: "Let's move as well!"
Ye Chen currently had clues to two Life Cavity realms.
One of these Life Cavity realms was related to Lin Shan's entrusted task, and the other corresponded to Sovereign Feng Luo's inheritance token.
Ye Chen was determined not to miss them.
Of course, Ye Chen was equally unable to assist others.
For one, both of these tokens represented tasks he was obligated to complete—Sovereign Feng Luo's token resided directly in his Qi Sea and could not be handed to anyone else. Meanwhile, Lin Shan's token was tied to Lin Shan's request.
Moreover, Ye Chen had no assurance of finding the third Life Cavity realm himself, let alone aiding others.
It would all come down to individual luck and effort.
After hearing Ye Chen's words, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan, Hua Xuelian, and the others hesitated no longer.
They understood this was a challenge where everyone must rely on their own fate, and prompt action was essential.
"Everyone must rely on their luck."
"Let's hope we all return safely in the end!"
After exchanging glances, they all descended.
Then, amid the flying Divine Lights, the group gradually split, each heading toward the beam of Divine Light they had set their sights on.
After parting ways with the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan and Hua Xuelian, Ye Chen followed the guidance of his two inheritance tokens and headed toward the closest relic site.
This nearby site lay deep within the countless Divine Light relics.
Ye Chen flew for nearly the span of two tea brews before finally arriving at this location.
This site was precisely where Sovereign Feng Luo's inheritance token pointed.
As Ye Chen arrived and saw the relic vaguely visible amidst a surge of Divine Light ahead, he felt three items within him—miniature versions of the Blood Drinking Divine Blade, the Polar Elemental God Bead, and the miniature token obtained during the assessment at the Great God Institute—begin to resonate and stir.
Without hesitation, Ye Chen leapt into the Divine Light.
