Chapter 6 - The Mysterious Ancient Book

After the family competition ended, Ye Chen, with his outstanding performance, once again became the focus of attention among the members of the Ye Family. Although he split the champion's rewards with Ye Hao, he was clear that there was still a gap between him and the true powerhouses. In the following days, Ye Chen remained immersed in arduous cultivation. However, on an accidental occasion, he discovered a mysterious ancient book in the family's library of collected books. On this day, after completing his daily cultivation tasks, Ye Chen decided to go to the library to look for some new cultivation methods to break through the current bottleneck. Inside the library, the books were numerous and dazzling. Ye Chen shuttled between rows of bookshelves. Suddenly, an ancient book covered in dust caught his attention. The cover of this ancient book was blurred, and it seemed that no one had flipped through it for a long time. Ye Chen curiously took it off the bookshelf and gently brushed off the dust on it. When he saw the name of the ancient book, his heart couldn't help but tremble - "Secret Code of Spiritual Arts". He couldn't wait to open the ancient book. However, the words in the book were obscure and difficult to understand, filled with various ancient symbols and patterns. Ye Chen frowned tightly and couldn't understand the meaning for a moment. "Master, can you understand this ancient book?" Ye Chen asked Elder Spirit in his heart. Elder Spirit was silent for a moment and said, "Boy, this ancient book is extraordinary. It seems to contain extremely profound methods of spiritual energy cultivation, but it's not easy to interpret it." Ye Chen did not give up because of this. He decided to take the ancient book back to his room and study it slowly. After returning to his room, Ye Chen studied the "Secret Code of Spiritual Arts" day and night, not missing any details. After several days of effort, he finally found some clues. It turned out that this ancient book recorded an ancient and powerful spiritual art called "Star Spiritual Art". This spiritual art could draw the power of the stars, and the strength of the cultivator would be greatly enhanced. But cultivating the "Star Spiritual Art" required specific conditions and extremely high talent. Ye Chen was well aware of the difficulties but was not afraid. According to the records in the ancient book, Ye Chen began to prepare the materials needed for cultivation. These materials were extremely rare and were hard to find in Wutan City. So, Ye Chen decided to go to a mysterious valley outside the city to search. It was said that various precious spiritual plants and ores grew in that valley. Ye Chen embarked on the journey to the valley. Along the way, he encountered various dangers, not only being attacked by powerful magical beasts but also facing complex terrain and bad weather. But with his firm belief and tenacious will, Ye Chen overcame numerous difficulties and finally arrived at the valley. In the valley, the fog was thick and filled with a mysterious atmosphere. Ye Chen moved forward carefully, always vigilant of the movements around him. During the process of searching for materials, Ye Chen encountered a spiritual plant that emitted a strange light. Just as he wanted to approach and pick it, a huge spider suddenly sprang out from the side and launched an attack on him. Ye Chen quickly retreated and engaged in a fierce battle with the spider. After a hard fight, he finally succeeded in defeating the spider and obtaining the spiritual plant. After several days of exploration in the valley, Ye Chen finally collected all the materials needed to cultivate the "Star Spiritual Art". After returning to the Ye Family, Ye Chen began to cultivate the "Star Spiritual Art" according to the methods in the ancient book. At first, the progress of cultivation was very slow, and Ye Chen hardly felt any effect. But he did not lose heart and still persisted in his efforts. Finally, on a full moon night, Ye Chen felt a mysterious power descending from the sky and integrating into his body. The "Star Spiritual Art" finally responded! Ye Chen was overjoyed and focused more on guiding this power to run within his body. As time passed, Ye Chen's aura gradually became stronger. His spiritual energy began to undergo a qualitative change, becoming purer and more powerful. However, the process of cultivating the "Star Spiritual Art" was not smooth sailing. During one cultivation session, Ye Chen accidentally went berserk, and the spiritual energy within his body fell into chaos. "Boy, stay calm and control the spiritual energy with your heart!" Elder Spirit's voice rang out in his mind. Ye Chen gritted his teeth and, following Elder Spirit's guidance, tried hard to adjust the spiritual energy within his body. After a painful struggle, he finally succeeded in controlling the situation and getting rid of the danger of going berserk. After this crisis, Ye Chen cultivated the "Star Spiritual Art" more carefully and cautiously. His strength also continued to improve, gradually surpassing other disciples of the same age. But Ye Chen knew that this was far from enough. He wanted to completely defeat the Lin Family on the martial arts stage three years later and justify himself and his family.
