Primordial Star Scripture

Moreover,

Ye Chen was but an Eight Tribulations True God!

An Eight Tribulations True God, within ten years, must become a Divine King. The degree of difficulty here would certainly deter countless others.

It was well known that many an Eight Tribulations True God had spent thousands or even tens of thousands of years without being able to break through to the Nine Tribulations True God, let alone the fact that merely succeeding in that was not enough; one must also break through to become a Divine King.

It could be said that to rise from an Eight Tribulations True God to a Divine King within ten years not only required an excellent cultivation speed but also enormous luck.

Without fate’s blessing, even if one could strike at the level, it was very likely they would perish in the heavenly tribulation or godly ordeal, making it virtually impossible to breakthrough to the Divine King Realm in such a short period of time!

Difficult.

Exceedingly difficult.

If the requirement set by Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King for Ye Chen to take first place in the competition among the nine great divine institutes was scaled at a hundred in difficulty.

Then the second requirement, to enter the Heavenly God Mountain and moreover, to come out alive, had an absolute difficulty of ten thousand!

And the third requirement, to claim one of the ten spots representing the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain in the "Battle of the Divine Kings," and advance to the final round of the "Battle of the Divine Kings" while facing the prodigy Divine Kings from other divine nations, this difficulty was absolutely in the millions or even billions!

Three requirements, each more challenging than the last.

If Ye Chen, at his age, could reach these three requirements within ten years from his lower realm beginnings, that would definitely be a legend for the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain!

One worthy of comparison to the legend of Long Li, the pride of the younger generation in Wanmu Mountain’s Divine Kingdom!

At this moment, the several Sovereigns looking at Ye Chen were all inwardly shaking and marveling.

The East Territory King and Sovereign Mu Shan, who were siding with Ye Chen, had not expected Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King’s demands to be so high.

The East Territory King even wondered, "Could it be that these two Venerables see potential in Ye Chen and specifically laid out these three requirements to motivate him?"

However, at this time, the three Sovereigns from Divine Dragon Mountain who wished to kill Ye Chen had their eyes flickering with a sharp light.

Especially Qin Yuntian, who sneered as he looked at Ye Chen, thinking, "Hmph, these three requirements are nearly impossible challenges. I really want to see how you, boy, will end in utter defeat!"

At this moment, in the void,

Having laid out the three requirements, Sovereign Hong Li directly addressed Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, these three requirements are the trials set for you by my master ’Sovereign Xuechen’ and the Northern Territory King."

"You must accept them and strive to complete them!"

"If any requirement remains unfulfilled, the two Venerables will personally take action, capture you—even if Sister Long Li forbids them from harming you, they will imprison you for ten thousand years as punishment!"

"Each requirement completed offers hope for facing the next one. Thus, you now need to start preparing for the ’competition of the nine great divine institutes,’ the very first requirement, which is fast approaching."

"Of course, if you are not capable of meeting these three requirements, you need not exert yourself, for the day you fail the divine institute competition will be the day you are imprisoned!"

Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King were both domineering powers of the Divine Kingdom.

One governed the Supreme Divine Institute, the other the Divine Kingdom’s Northern Territory.

Their words were divine decrees, divine orders.

There was simply no room for Ye Chen to negotiate.

Ye Chen had to comply, had no choice but to comply!

Otherwise, he would face the same fate of a ten-thousand-year imprisonment!

Hearing Sovereign Hong Li’s words, the millions of martial artists outside the arena looked at Ye Chen with immense sympathy.

Although they envied Ye Chen for having ties with Long Li, the thought of these three requirements also made them inwardly click their tongues.

If it were them, there was absolutely no way they could fulfill these three requirements!

Under such immense pressure, Ye Chen seemed to have no path of retreat.

But in his heart, he had not thought of backing down.

He did not need to retreat!

These three requirements, each incredibly difficult, did not seem like challenges to Ye Chen but rather as true tempering for himself.

Ye Chen aspired to become a powerful being like the East Territory King, the Northern Territory King.

Naturally, he would seize every opportunity to grow stronger.

To join the Supreme Divine Institute? To be first in the divine institute competition?

Such opportunities, such honors, Ye Chen certainly wanted to claim!

And then there was the Heavenly God Mountain, a place countless people longed to go to, where if one could survive, they were bound to improve their levels—that was an opportunity Ye Chen wouldn’t miss.

Even if Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King hadn’t made their demands, Ye Chen knew about the magical "Heavenly God Mountain" and wanted to see it, to brave it!

Ye Chen would certainly not be daunted by the dangers within!

As for the last requirement, when Ye Chen heard of the "Star Domain Genius Battle—Divine King’s War" that would take place in ten years, his heart surged with excitement.

Just think—a Star Domain Genius Battle where even entities who surpass Venerables would appear, a battle that gives one the chance to face off against powerhouses from various Star Domains and Divine Kingdoms.

Which warrior wouldn’t yearn to participate?

Which warrior wouldn’t crave to witness the geniuses from countless Star Domains?!

Ye Chen even thought that his realm might not allow him to traverse the Star Domain to see Jiang Yao anytime soon.

But with this "Star Domain Genius Battle," it was very likely that Jiang Yao would participate as well.

In that case, he might be able to meet Jiang Yao in advance during the Star Domain Genius Battle!

This, of course, strengthened Ye Chen’s resolve to take part in the "Star Domain Genius Battle."

As for the requirement to break through to the God King Realm within ten years.

Having been in the Divine Kingdom for less than a year, Ye Chen had already transformed from the late stages of the Heavenly Saint to an Eight Tribulations True God.

With ten more years and the opportunity of Heavenly God Mountain, Ye Chen had a strong belief that he could become a Divine King, and even stand out among them, capable of contending with Divine Kings from various Star Domains.

With these thoughts, Ye Chen took a deep breath, his eyes shining brightly as he raised his voice to Sovereign Hong Li, "Sovereign Hong Li, I accept these three requirements!"

...

An uproarious confrontation.

It started with Ye Chen’s emergence from Nine Suns Ancient Land, followed by repeated attempts by Elder He and Protector Zhuge to execute Ye Chen, the arrival of the East Territory King, the arrival of Qin Yuntian, reaching its climax.

And in the end, with Sovereign Hong Li bearing Long Li’s entrustment and the three requirements from Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King, the affair came to a close.

After announcing the three requirements, Sovereign Hong Li left once again.

Ye Chen, following the East Territory King, left the Southern Territory of the Divine Kingdom and made his way to the residence of the East Territory King in the East Province.

The East Territory King had said that since Ye Chen had used the Life-saving Talisman he left behind before the assessment of the nine major Divine Institutes, Ye Chen must train at the residence of the East Territory King and not wander outside anymore.

Following his return from Nine Suns Ancient Land, where he had reaped great rewards, and after what had transpired with Long Li, Ye Chen had no desire to continue wandering abroad.

He only wanted to go to the residence of the East Territory King and train in seclusion, preparing for the Nine Divine Institutes assessment that would begin in a few months!

After Ye Chen, the center of attention, left with the East Territory King.

Qin Yuntian of Divine Dragon Mountain, with a glint in his eye, also left with Elder He and Protector Zhuge.

Because of the "Sovereign Order," they could not lay hands on Ye Chen. However, knowing the three requirements set by Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King for Ye Chen, they would certainly strategize to make Ye Chen fail to meet them.

Once the two opposing parties had left, the rest of the Venerables, along with the countless warriors who had emerged from Nine Suns Ancient Land, also dispersed.

The families of the warriors who perished in Nine Suns Ancient Land, after mourning for a while, left the area as well.

As one warrior after another returned to the Southern Territory of the Divine Kingdom, and even to various places within the Divine Kingdom,

The events that occurred in Nine Suns Ancient Land spread rapidly throughout the entire Divine Kingdom!

Warriors from numerous territories heard about Ye Chen’s killing of Qin Feng, a senior Divine King from one of the four major forces, and even more about Ye Chen’s relations with the young prodigy Long Li of the Divine Kingdom!

For a time, the name Ye Chen spread across every corner of the Divine Kingdom, drawing the attention of many divine Venerables and Sovereigns!

And when they heard about the three requirements Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King had set for Ye Chen, everyone was looking forward to the Nine Divine Institutes assessment starting in a few months.

Even many capable individuals had already planned to travel to the site of the assessment to see Ye Chen and whether he would fail at the very first requirement!

Ye Chen’s fame spread throughout the Divine Kingdom.

And at this moment, Ye Chen had returned to the residence of the East Territory King in the East Province of the Divine Kingdom.

When he saw the little princess again, for an entire day she pestered Ye Chen, inquiring about everything that had happened to him since he arrived in the Divine Kingdom.

The little princess was filled with one thought; her brother Ye Chen had Jiang Yao, and now with what had happened with Long Li, what would he do in the future?

"Could it be, Brother Ye Chen plans to marry both Jiang Yao and Long Li?" the little princess finally pondered.

After conversing with the little princess and East Territory King for a few days, and strolling through the First Divine City of East Province under the little princess’s company, and even receiving visits from Zhao Xin, Tian Li, and others, who were descendants of the four major Generals of East Province that he had met in Minor Pole Sky, Ye Chen began to immerse himself in intensive training at the residence of the East Territory King.

Despite having successfully transformed into an Eight Tribulations True God, Ye Chen was not going to allow himself to relax in the slightest if he wanted to secure the first place in the Nine Divine Institutes assessment!

He wanted to further enhance every combat capability at his disposal.

"It’s a pity that the physical combat technique I’ve been cultivating, the ’Undying Divine Body,’ only includes the first three volumes, thereby preventing me from continuing the subsequent volumes."

"And the same goes for the ’Nine Volumes of Formation Array’; I cannot cultivate the later volumes either."

Back in Minor Pole Sky, Ye Chen had acquired the first parts of "Undying Divine Body" and "Nine Volumes of Formation Array," planning to visit the master of Minor Pole Sky, "Heavenly Cloud Venerable," after the affair at Nine Suns Ancient Land to obtain the remaining parts of these techniques.

Unfortunately, after the events at Nine Suns Ancient Land and various unexpected developments, Ye Chen couldn’t visit "Heavenly Cloud Venerable" just yet.

Ye Chen had no choice but to set aside the "Undying Divine Body" for the time being and start cultivating True Qi, Stellar Power, and the fourth sword of the Divine Soul Attack Methods, "Nine Swords of Annihilation."
