Along with "Sovereign Tianyu" and "Sovereign Mo," they brought their juniors to the site of the examination for the Nine Great Divine Institutes.

Everywhere in the expansive Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain, countless warriors were escorting their juniors, who would participate in the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes, to the examination site.

These warriors accompanying their juniors had at least a powerful existence within the Earth Divine Venerable Realm, while the number of Heavenly Divine Venerables and Immortal Divine Venerables was countless.

There were even many from the Sovereign Realm.

After all, the entire Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain was too vast.

Even if only one formidable Divine Venerable emerged from hundreds of Star Continents, the number of Divine Venerables in the entire Divine Kingdom would still be terrifying.

The assessment for the Nine Great Divine Institutes takes place only once every so often.

With so many extraordinary warriors vying for the select spots at the Nine Great Divine Institutes, one can imagine how precious these spots must be.

Previously, at the Undersea Divine Palace, the old sage had told Ye Chen that the spots for the examination of the Nine Great Divine Institutes were exceptionally valuable.

Many Divine Venerables within the Divine Kingdom had no chance of securing a spot for their juniors.

The Divine Venerables who managed to secure spots were all extraordinary individuals.

Of course, aside from these powerful God-Divine Venerables and Sovereigns who could directly secure a spot for their juniors at the Nine Great Divine Institutes.

There were two other ways to obtain a spot for the examination.

One was the initial selection conducted by the Nine Great Divine Institutes throughout the Divine Kingdom, where selected candidates would get the chance to be examined.

This also provided many ordinary-born warriors of the Divine Kingdom with an opportunity to leap over the dragon gate.

Another way was for lower-realm warriors from Star Continents, like Ye Chen, who managed to secure a spot token amidst the major purging catastrophe, thus gaining the opportunity to enter the Divine Kingdom and participate in the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes.

In total, there were tens of millions of warriors participating in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination!

The Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination, however, only accepts less than ten thousand disciples altogether in one intake.

Among tens of millions, to compete for those few thousand coveted spots at the Nine Great Divine Institutes is an unimaginably fierce competition!

And to snatch the first place in the examination among these tens of millions of people is an even more exceedingly difficult task!

No wonder, when Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King proposed to Ye Chen that his first demand was to win first place in the examination of the Nine Great Divine Institutes, countless Sovereigns were shocked.

After all, for the countless warriors of the Divine Kingdom, not just capturing first place, but to even join any of the Nine Great Divine Institutes would absolutely shake their entire family to its core and cause ecstatic jubilation!

Of course, while the vast majority of warriors participating in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination would be eliminated, as long as they performed well, even if they were eliminated, they could still attract the attention of countless powers.

Even if they ultimately did not join the Nine Great Divine Institutes, joining a second-tier divine institute or power was a respectable outcome for many true gods in the Divine Kingdom.

The examination for the Nine Great Divine Institutes took place on a shattered ancient battlefield on the fringe of the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain.

This ancient battlefield is rumored to have been the site of a great war between the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain and another divine kingdom.

The intense battles had shattered numerous Star Continents at the junction of the two great divine kingdoms.

Eventually, when the war ended, several Sovereigns of the Nine Great Divine Institutes wielded their mighty divine powers to reforge these shattered Star Continents of the ancient battlefield together, turning them into the examination grounds for the institutes!

Although reformed, the examination grounds, being an ancient battlefield, were fraught with murderous energy!

Rumors abounded that the native monsters and ancient beasts that grew within were tremendously ferocious!

There are also rumors of many remnants of battles and deadly battlefield locations within!

The warriors who entered for the examination had to compete not only with other warriors but also contend with the monstrous ancient beasts of the ancient battlefield itself, as well as endure the remnants of battles and deadly battlefield locations! Your adventure continues at Freewebnovel

Before the start of this Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination, countless warriors had already rushed to the outskirts of the shattered ancient battlefield.

Those from the lower realms who had obtained the tokens to participate in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination amid the great purge were also specially brought into the Divine Kingdom via the four great provincial kings’ mansions to participate in the examination.

Three days before the start of the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination, the number of warriors gathered outside the shattered ancient battlefield was already over a hundred million.

And on the day the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ examination fully commenced, the number of warriors gathered outside the shattered ancient battlefield had reached over three hundred million!

Among these people, there were those who came to watch the grand event, those from the Nine Great Divine Institutes responsible for recruiting new disciples, from other divine institutes and powers, as well as warriors who came to see off the participants and the tens of millions of warriors who came to participate in the examination.

Furthermore, as the examination drew nearer, more and more people continued to rush towards the examination grounds.

…

When Ye Chen, the Little Provincial Princess, and the hundreds of true gods from the East Territory King’s Mansion arrived at the gathering place just outside the shattered ancient battlefield under the guidance of the East Territory King,

Seeing the skies and the earth teeming with hundreds of millions of warriors at the gathering place, Ye Chen was utterly shocked.

So many people!

```

Ye Chen saw that there were no fewer than a hundred Sovereign Realm powerhouses alone.

And as for the Divine Venerable Realm powerhouses, there were as many as several hundred thousand!

This, of course, left Ye Chen incredulously shocked.

Ye Chen became increasingly aware of the vastness of the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain and the warriors of the Divine Kingdom!

Among the crowd, Ye Chen also saw many familiar faces.

Lin Xiaowan, who had participated in the Battle of Circulation of Heaven Divine City with him and entered the Nine Suns Ancient Land together, was now standing next to an Immortal Divine Venerable.

Beside the Immortal Divine Venerable, there were a few true gods, who looked to be the several true gods from Lin Xiaowan’s family taking part in the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes this time.

Seeing Ye Chen looking in her direction, Lin Xiaowan nodded at him, anxious yet full of anticipation.

Originally, since Lin Xiaowan was already a disciple of the Supreme Divine Institute, she didn’t need to come to watch the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes.

However, because Ye Chen was participating in the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes, she couldn’t help but want to see it for herself.

Lin Xiaowan also wanted to see whether Ye Chen could fulfill the first requirement set by Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King.

Many others shared Lin Xiaowan’s sentiments.

At the very top of the crowd, where the real powerhouses gathered, Ye Chen saw people from the Mu King Mansion, including Mu Ling and Mu Xiao.

At this moment, Mu Ling and Mu Xiao were accompanied by several hundred true gods from the Mu King Mansion, who were participating in the assessment of the Nine Great Divine Institutes.

Of course, Ye Chen also spotted the visitors from the Southern Territory King Mansion.

He even saw people from Tai Yun Heaven, the force where Yang Yun and Yang Yan, who had a grudge against him, belonged to, and saw Yang Yun and Yang Yan among the crowd.

When they noticed Ye Chen looking at them, a flash passed in the eyes of Yang Yun and Yang Yan.

Sneers echoed in their hearts.

They came in person this time just to witness Ye Chen’s downfall!

As for the expression of Yang Yun and Yang Yan, Ye Chen completely ignored it.

Ye Chen then turned his gaze towards other forces.

Although there were already hundreds of millions of martial artists gathered at the site, only the truly top forces of the Divine Kingdom dared to stand at the very top of the ethereal space!

Even some eight-star Sovereigns with their descendants could only stand a bit lower.

The truly top forces at the very top of the Divine Kingdom were none other than the four great King Mansions of the Divine Kingdom, the four great forces, as well as the people under the national lord of the Divine Kingdom’s capital!

Now, with the arrival of the East Territory King, all the visitors from the four great King Mansions of the Divine Kingdom were present.

Under the guidance of the East Territory King, Ye Chen recognized another one of the four great Territory Kings of the Divine Kingdom for the first time.

The Southern Territory King of the Divine Kingdom—Hong Xuanzong!

When Ye Chen saw the Southern Territory King, dressed in a blue robe, shimmering with divine light, with stars shifting and a majestic aura, he was taken aback.

The Southern Territory King left an impression on Ye Chen as being no less formidable than the East Territory King.

At this moment, the Southern Territory King, seeing Ye Chen’s gaze directed at him, also nodded with a smile and said to Ye Chen, "Young friend Ye Chen, I have heard that you have met with my teacher, the old Southern Territory King, and you have made quite a name for yourself in the Nine Suns Ancient Land under my jurisdiction. Although this is our first meeting, we seem to have quite a connection!"

Wow!

The words of the Southern Territory King immediately caused countless martial artists below to turn their gaze to Ye Chen.

Just being brought here personally by one of the Divine Kingdom’s four great Territory Kings was enough to make countless martial artists speculate about Ye Chen’s identity.

Now, seeing another Territory King speaking to him made countless people envy Ye Chen.

And when they heard the Southern Territory King refer to him as "young friend Ye Chen," many martial artists from the Divine Kingdom exclaimed in surprise, "That’s Ye Chen?!"

"The remarkable youth who was given three requirements by Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King?!"

"I heard he killed a high-ranking Divine King from one of the four great forces at the realm of a true god, truly extraordinary!"

"What’s more, I heard he has significant connections with the number one divine maiden of the Supreme Divine Institute, our Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom’s most proud young lady, Long Li!"

"He is even required to secure first place in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ assessment. If he fails to obtain the first place, he will be imprisoned for ten thousand years."

"Heavens, to even think of competing for the first place in the Nine Great Divine Institutes’ assessment is beyond my wildest dreams, yet he is going to contend for it."

"I really don’t know just how formidable this youth’s true strength is!"
