"Congratulations, young man, you have passed my final challenge—the test of the Heart-Bewildering Curse."
"You are qualified to officially receive the Sect Master Command of our Primordial Spirit Sect!"
This majestic and upright voice left Ye Chen stunned.
The power that was supposed to kill me, was not really meant to kill me? It was actually a test of the Heart-Bewildering Curse?
This test was so real and terrifying.
Ye Chen had prepared for certain death, not expecting that it was actually a test.
Primordial Spirit Sect?
Wasn’t it the Primordial Demon Sect in collaboration with the Starry Sky Demons?
At this moment, Ye Chen felt even more confused.
Just as Ye Chen’s mind and spirit were shaken, two items appeared directly in the Underground Palace.
One was the Ancient Origin Ice Bead that had previously helped Ye Chen resist the terrifying Killing Force and had been shattered. Now, the Ancient Origin Ice Bead appeared before Ye Chen, completely restored. Ye Chen even faintly felt that after this clash against the Killing Force, the Ancient Origin Ice Bead seemed to have transformed in Divine Power.
Could it be that the Ice Pearl’s power at the Star Lord Level had increased?
It wasn’t a good time to test it; Ye Chen could only vaguely speculate in his heart.
The other item that appeared in the Underground Palace was the words exuding killing intent that he had shattered before. Now, each word reappeared, floating above the stone platform, before Ye Chen’s eyes.
This time, these words did not convey the rules of claiming the reward. Instead, they directly informed Ye Chen about everything regarding the "Primordial Spirit Sect" and the "Sect Master Command."
After reading through the swath of text, Ye Chen sighed.
He finally understood everything clearly.
It turns out that the creator of the Nine Bends Demon Realm, who had left behind the All Elements Canon, had indeed established a divine sect—the Primordial Spirit Sect.
However, that sect was not the one mentioned in the Heart-Bewildering Curse test as collaborating with the Starry Sky Demons.
From its inception, the Primordial Spirit Sect was dedicated to combating the Starry Sky Demons!
According to the great existence, within the Primordial Spirit Sect, there are positions for the Divine Church Sect Leader, Right and Left Protectors, eight branches, and seventy-two divine altars.
Within the Primordial Spirit Sect, there are many Star Lord Level existences, and many are at the pinnacle level among Star Lords.
To join the Primordial Spirit Sect, one must be an exceptional genius.
After joining the Primordial Spirit Sect, one would receive thorough nurturing from the sect.
In years past, the Primordial Spirit Sect could definitely be regarded as a top-tier force in the Cosmic Sea; its name could shake the entire Cosmic Sea.
However, later, since the creator of the Primordial Spirit Sect, the Star Lord Jiang Yuan, who was also the creator of the Nine Bends Demon Realm, was severely injured in a battle with the Starry Sky Demons, countless events transpired.
There was a rebellion within the sect, where the Right Protector led a large group to kill members of the sect and even assassinated the severely injured sect leader, establishing another sect—the Primordial Demon Sect.
The Primordial Demon Sect truly collaborated with and relied on the Starry Sky Demons, as mentioned in the Heart-Bewildering Curse test!
The Primordial Demon Sect obtained a mysterious Cultivation Method from the Starry Sky Demons, greatly enhancing their strength. This mysterious cultivation attracted countless people to join the Primordial Demon Sect, significantly boosting its power.
Conversely, the original members of the Primordial Spirit Sect, who did not join the Primordial Demon Sect, were either killed or fled, their whereabouts unknown.
The Primordial Spirit Sect was truly fragmented and shattered.
The sect leader of the Primordial Spirit Sect, Jiang Yuan, only managed to fake his death and escape to the Sea of Exile because of a hidden Underground Palace there.
However, he was already gravely injured and after enduring assassinations and the rebellion within the sect, he was on the brink of death by the time he reached the Nine Bends Demon Realm.
Nevertheless, Star Lord Jiang Yuan was indeed a superpower.
Even though he was severely injured and dying, he still left this great expedition site in the Nine Bends Demon Realm. On one hand, it was to nurture new talents through the bloody adventure of the site.
On the other hand, it was also to find a truly supreme talent, one with a heart inclined towards goodness, to inherit his Sect Master Command.
However, the test left by Star Lord Jiang Yuan was extremely challenging.
Throughout countless years, very few people received the acknowledgment of this super existence and secured the reward of the Sect Master Command.
On rare occasions, a few who were acknowledged ended up defecting in the Heart-Bewildering Curse test amid the terror of life and death, choosing to join the Primordial Demon Sect.
Sect Leader Jiang Yuan would certainly never choose such defectors as his new successors for the Sect Master Command.
Those who thought that surrendering amid the terror of life and death could preserve their lives ultimately perished in the Heart-Bewildering Curse test.
After so many years, this great existence finally awaited Ye Chen to pass this test.
Finally awaited the moment when the Sect Master Command of the "Primordial Spirit Sect" would reappear in the world!
As per the sect leader, although the Primordial Spirit Sect has fragmented, the members whose hearts truly belonged to the sect are still hidden everywhere, and when the timing is right, the Primordial Spirit Sect will eradicate the Primordial Demon Sect and rise again.
The sect leader also left three things for Ye Chen.
The first item is the Sect Master Command. Within it lies a Secret Technique unique to the Primordial Spirit Sect, developed by Star Lord Jiang Yuan. This technique allows one to sense all those who have ever joined the Primordial Spirit Sect.
