Seeing Ye Chen stop within the Fourth Layer Storm, the girl with the White Ring Divine Pattern mark on her brow patted her chest in relief.
"He's finally stopped. To think he charged straight to the Fourth Layer Storm without a mont's pause—it's just terrifying."
The girl with the Key Divine Pattern mark on her brow, however, gazed intently at Ye Chen's figure and murmured, "Has he reached his limit?"
"Judging by the way he seems to be cultivating after stopping, could it be that he's unable to advance further, or has he stopped because of an epiphany?"
The Blue Ring Divine Pattern girl and the fourth spirit girl had their eyes trembling at this; they both spoke simultaneously, "This challenger is absolutely not stopping because he can't proceed. He has had a major insight and is cultivating an extraordinary technique."
"Look! The Fourth Layer Storm can't even approach within several dozen feet of him!"
"With this level of resistance, passing the Fourth Layer Storm's trial should be completely effortless! He clearly has the strength to walk out of the Fourth Layer Storm right now, but he simply chooses not to!"
Hearing the words of the Blue Ring girl and the fourth spirit, the girl with the White Ring Divine Pattern turned her gaze toward Ye Chen. What she saw confird their statents—those terrifying Fourth Layer Storms had indeed been repelled several dozen feet away the mont Ye Chen sat down cross-legged!
Her little mouth opened wide in shock.
She had assud Ye Chen stopped because he couldn't move forward, but now, hearing her sisters' words, it was apparent that this challenger was more formidable than she had expected!
The girl with the Key Divine Pattern, the one who first guided Ye Chen in choosing his materials, was also stunned. "This youth carrying a first-level Inheritance Token—just how has he beco so powerful?!"
Under the watchful eyes of the four artifact spirit girls,
Ye Chen sat cross-legged within the heart of the Fourth Layer Storm. Yet, all the raging winds could only howl futilely around the boundary several dozen feet around his body, unable to touch him in the slightest!
The omnipresent Profound anings of the storm were left at Ye Chen's rcy, allowing him to observe and comprehend without hindering his cultivation!
At this mont, Ye Chen moved his palm. "Shu, shu, shu." One after another, precious cultivation materials materialized before him.
Cold Wind Grass, Heavenly Wound Flower, Wind Spinning Fruits…
Seeing the seventy-two main materials and one hundred and eight auxiliary materials required for cultivating the Wind Divine Pattern—the most formidable of the "Earth, Fire, Water, Wind, and Chaos" Five Divine Body Patterns of the Eternal God Body apart from the Chaos Divine Pattern—Ye Chen's heart surged with excitent.
The Wind Divine Pattern was one of the core patterns of the Eternal God Body, with power second only to the Chaos Divine Pattern.
Currently, Ye Chen had only completed the Earth Divine Pattern, and now he was about to tackle the even more potent Wind Divine Pattern. How could he not be overwheld with anticipation and exhilaration?
Ye Chen couldn't wait to see how much his Divine Body's combat strength would be elevated after successfully cultivating the Wind Divine Pattern.
He scrutinized the materials before him for a long ti, and then gazed for a while at the infinite storm that remained several dozen feet away. At last, he stretched out his hand and, with a mighty grasp, collected all the materials at once. Following the prescribed refinent thods, he transford them into Divine Liquid to temper his body. Then, according to the prescribed cultivation order, he absorbed them into himself.
Thus, Ye Chen began his complete cultivation of the Wind Divine Pattern, a crucial part of the Eternal God Body, right in the midst of the Fourth Layer Storm.
This session of cultivation lasted for more than half a month.
Sitting cross-legged amidst the Fourth Layer Storm, Ye Chen's figure did not waver even slightly.
Yet the fearso divine radiance that constantly erupted from Ye Chen's body made it evident to the four spirit girls watching him that Ye Chen had made trendous progress in his cultivation.
The four Artifact Spirit Girls did not know how long this round of cultivation would take Ye Chen.
As the guardians of the Heavenly Wind Cave, they could not interfere with Ye Chen's trials or cultivation; all they could do was wait quietly.
...
While Ye Chen was cultivating and enduring trials in the Heavenly Wind Cave, more than ten thousand challengers who had entered the third world layer of the Heavenly God Mountain were also venturing into various Life Cavities and Death Cavities.
Those who had entered the Life Cavities were relatively fortunate. Even if they could not obtain the Passing Light of the God, they generally avoided life-threatening danger as long as they proceeded cautiously.
So individuals had already successfully claid the Passing Light of the God and were making considerable gains within the Legacy Caves of the Life Cavities.
But others were not so fortunate.
In one glimring territory on the southern edge of the Life and Death Cavity World, a Divine King from the Snow Desert Divine Kingdom—ranked among the top twenty of the Heavenly God List—carefully selected what appeared to be a relatively safe Legacy Cave bathed in divine radiance.
With great caution, he stepped across the boundary of the divine light.
However, as soon as he set foot inside, a harrowing scream tore from his lips.
The challenger had barely entered before he was engulfed by countless streaks of silvery cold gleams cutting through the air.
In re monts, he was shredded into pieces by the silver light, reduced to nothingness, and killed outright within the territory.
The challenger had believed he was entering a Life Cavity, but little did he know that he had stepped into one of the most perilous Death Cavities within the entire Life and Death Cavity World—the domain of the Extre Killing Divine Light!
From the outside, there was no discernible difference between a Life Cavity and a Death Cavity.
Like this ill-fated expert from the Heavenly God List, countless other challengers were similarly unfortunate, stumbling into the Death Cavities.
So, upon entry, failed to notice anything amiss—until they ventured deeper into the territory and were suddenly sward by countless flying insects, devoured to the last scrap of their flesh.
Others, walking upon solid ground, found themselves plunged into sudden sinkholes. From beneath, a trendous force surged forth, dragging them below. Even formidable Divine Kings stood no chance against the overwhelming power, succumbing to the pull and vanishing beneath the earth. Afterward, the ground returned to its pristine state, as though nothing had happened at all.
Yet others were lured by treasures gleaming within the territory, mistakenly believing they had entered a Life Cavity. But as they reached for the treasure, it detonated with unfathomable killing power, obliterating them entirely on the spot.
The Death Cavities were rife with a myriad of horrifying and treacherous dangers.
As the Heavenly God Mountain's third-layer rules had declared, entry into a Death Cavity indeed almost always ant certain death. Now, all challengers who had ventured into the Death Cavities had perished without exception!
Of the more than ten thousand challengers who had entered the third world layer of the Heavenly God Mountain, the number of survivors dwindled rapidly—from nine thousand, to eight thousand, to six thousand… decreasing by the day.
Of course, the Life and Death Cavity territories varied for each challenger, and those who survived had no way of knowing that over half of their peers had already perished within just half a month!
...
In the other Life and Death Cavities, challengers continued to vie for Passing Light of the God and their opportunities. So t their end, while others secured great rewards.
anwhile, Ye Chen remained sitting in ditation within the Fourth Layer Storm of the Heavenly Wind Cave.
The only difference from half a month earlier was that, on the twenty-third day of his cultivation within the Fourth Layer Storm, the previously repelled storm suddenly surged toward Ye Chen as if the barrier had dissolved. It seed intent on slicing him apart.
Seeing this, two of the Artifact Spirit Girls couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
They worried that Ye Chen might no longer be able to fend off the relentless storm.
However, in the next mont, their cries subsided as they observed closely. While Ye Chen no longer resisted the storm, the terrifying Fourth Layer Storm seed to be influenced by an invisible force. In one instant, it transford into massive wind wings; in another, it ford radiant wind shields; and in yet another, it scattered into countless snowflake-like wind blades.
The two spirit girls, along with their silent companions, imdiately understood. This phenonon unmistakably demonstrated one thing—Ye Chen was beginning to master the storm!
Mastery.
The thought of this left the four Artifact Spirit Girls visibly shaken.
Their master was an existence far beyond the realm of a Sovereign. Though the trials left within the Heavenly Wind Cave were designed for the challengers of the Heavenly God Mountain and did not reach the transcendent level of their master, they were still terrifying challenges for any challenger.
Under such conditions, rely resisting the storm was considered an imnse feat.
For Ye Chen to directly master and manipulate the trial's storm—this was unprecedented in the countless years of the Heavenly Wind Cave's history!
"This challenger is cultivating an extraordinary wind-elent secret skill. Judging by appearances, it's likely a Wind Elent Divine Body Secret Technique!"
By now, the condescension and disdain previously visible on the fourth spirit girl's face had entirely vanished.
All that remained was pure astonishnt.
The girl even wondered silently to herself, "Could it be that the master's incredibly precious 'dical Canon' will finally find soone capable of fully inheriting it?"
Amidst the girl's awe, another three days passed.
On the twenty-sixth day of Ye Chen's trial in the Heavenly Wind Cave, he finally rose from his seated position.
As Ye Chen stood, the terrifying storm that had circled him abruptly erupted outward with a thunderous "boom," dispersing several miles away as though blasted by an imnse force!
The area within several miles of Ye Chen beca an absolute void!
Then, raising his gaze, Ye Chen looked beyond the Fourth Layer Storm and into the Fifth Layer Storm ahead.
In the span of a single mont, a green divine pattern erged on Ye Chen's body. The pattern transford into a massive pair of erald wings.
With one powerful flap, Ye Chen crossed the thousands of feet separating him from the edge of the Fourth Layer Storm in the blink of an eye, advancing into the final trial—the Fifth Layer Storm!
Throughout countless attempts to endure this trial, challengers could only proceed cautiously, stepping forward bit by bit in the face of the storm's ferocity.
No one had ever flown across an entire boundary in one leap, as Ye Chen just had!
Witnessing this, the four Artifact Spirit Girls rose to their feet in astonishnt.
They had waited a long ti, but it was now evident—the challenger before them had completed his cultivation and was ready to advance further.
Moreover, from the fact that he could fly unhindered within the Fourth Layer Storm, they could tell this challenger had undoubtedly achieved great gains.
