Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 701 - 653: Heart of the Strong

Shortly after, Ye Chen, Mu Ling, and Mu Xiao continued to soar through the skies.

The beast chaos persisted, and as Mu Ling and Mu Xiao still had to rescue others, they naturally could not spend all their time chatting idly with Ye Chen.

However, they didn’t part ways with Ye Chen but instead had him join them in their actions. After the great beast turmoil had subsided, they would have a detailed discussion.

At this moment, seeing the beast chaos ravage the entire Fiery Realm and spread toward the Icy Realm, Ye Chen also thought of following Mu Ling and Mu Xiao around the Nine Suns Ancient Land to witness the situation of this great chaos.

Even though their conversation had been brief, Ye Chen’s relationship with Mu Ling and Mu Xiao had already changed markedly.

Through Ye Chen, Mu Ling and Mu Xiao now knew that their ancestor, the former Territory King also known as Elder Ku Du, was currently undergoing arduous cultivation in a secret realm of the lower realm.

The two of them also learned that Ye Chen was a martial artist who came to the Divine Kingdom from that lower realm, having truly received the cultivation technique taught by Elder Ku Du. Moreover, the power of this technique showed that Ye Chen was held in high regard by Elder Ku Du.

Since their ancestor valued Ye Chen so highly, Mu Ling and Mu Xiao naturally treated Ye Chen with great courtesy!

Furthermore, when they learned that Ye Chen had obtained the opportunity to participate in the assessment of the nine great divine institutes and thus came to the Divine Kingdom, Mu Ling and Mu Xiao were tremendously shocked.

Of course, they knew just how difficult it was to get a chance to participate in the assessment for the nine divine institutes from the lower realms.

Only those legendary martial artists from the lower realm who could survive the grande purge catastrophe of the lower realm and obtain the most precious treasures amidst that catastrophe could possibly earn a spot in the assessments of the nine divine institutes.

Mu Ling and Mu Xiao had already witnessed Ye Chen’s miracles.

Now, considering that Ye Chen had been able to raise his combat strength to this level in the lower realm and even obtained a spot for the divine institute assessments, they no longer considered themselves superior as powerful Divine Kings. Instead, they began to interact with Ye Chen as peers.

"Ye Chen, my friend, the Supreme Divine Institute is the most powerful among the nine great divine institutes. You must strive to join the Supreme Divine Institute during the assessment!" Mu Ling said earnestly to Ye Chen.

Mu Xiao also said, "Yes, both Mu Ling and I are disciples of the Supreme Divine Institute. Indeed, it is the best place for martial artists in the Divine Kingdom to cultivate."

"With your current strength, joining the Supreme Divine Institute shouldn’t be a problem. I’m afraid you even have a good chance of competing for one of the top spots among the institute’s assessment disciples!"

Hearing what Mu Ling and Mu Xiao said, Ye Chen nodded.

The Supreme Divine Institute.

Whether it was Elder Ku Du or the East Territory King, both had spoken of the institute’s power.

The formidable Divine Kings Ye Chen had encountered this time, such as Long Li and the powerful Mu Ling and Mu Xiao standing before him, all hailed from the Supreme Divine Institute.

If he were to join an institute, it would naturally be the most powerful one.

Ye Chen was, of course, extremely interested in the Supreme Divine Institute! Continue reading at novelbuddy

While flying and conversing, the three soon encountered another group of martial artists being pursued by demon creatures.

This time, Mu Xiao took action directly, saving another group of people.

They continued this way, flying, rescuing, and talking.

It took Ye Chen, Mu Ling, and Mu Xiao most of the day to scour a large part of the Fiery Realm. They saved many people and also witnessed the deaths of countless martial artists in the beast turmoil before it finally began to subside.

The terrifyingly fierce demon creatures, after rampaging and killing for most of the day, finally calmed their raging hearts and found new habitats within the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

Above the void.

Looking at the ravaged Fiery Realm and the Icy Realm that was also heavily affected, Mu Xiao sighed, "Martial artists keep cultivating, but they will encounter natural disasters and also suffer many man-made calamities."

"Just take this great beast turmoil for example; I’m afraid more than a million martial artists have been killed. None of these million could have imagined that it was the actions of that Higher Divine King Qin Feng from the Divine Dragon Mountain that led them to death within the Nine Suns Ancient Land!"

Mu Ling’s brows knitted, "That Qin Feng is truly ruthless. He doesn’t care about these demon creatures, yet his actions led to their killing so many true gods!"

Ye Chen, standing beside the two, had a cold light flashing in his eyes.

Through his conversation with Mu Xiao and Mu Ling along the way, Ye Chen had learned that this great beast turmoil was caused by "Qin Feng" from Divine Dragon Mountain, due to his actions in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Beasts within the Nine Suns Realm.

Qin Feng’s actions had almost led to Ye Chen’s death at the hands of numerous Higher Divine Kings’ demon creatures and caused the rest of the team with whom he had grouped to all fall.

During his escape, Ye Chen had seen with his own eyes the corpses of the few who had come with him to Flame Mountain being killed, as well as the corpses of many more fallen martial artists.

All this was the result of the evil caused by Qin Feng.

How could it not fill Ye Chen with righteous indignation!

The thought of eliminating this hateful Qin Feng and making him experience the feeling of being killed without a care for his life surged in Ye Chen’s heart!

Unfortunately, that Qin Feng was a Higher Divine King, extraordinarily powerful even among Higher Divine Kings, capable of battling with Earth Divine Venerable.

Ye Chen was not even able to deal with those terrifying demon creatures that feared Qin Feng, let alone contend with Qin Feng himself.

This left Ye Chen feeling somewhat powerless.

"Hmph, fortunes change like the rotation of the rivers and mountains. Once I have cultivated to a Divine King and defeated him, it won’t be impossible!"

"That Qin Feng comes from the Divine Dragon Mountain of the Divine Kingdom’s East Province, a power that doesn’t get along with the East Territory King’s estate. In the future, I’m afraid I’ll have plenty of opportunities to confront this person. Once I’m strong enough, I certainly need to make him pay dearly for his actions today!"

In the end, Ye Chen thought, grinding his teeth.

Mu Ling and Mu Xiao could very well understand Ye Chen’s feelings.

Mu Xiao said to Ye Chen, "Ye Chen, this is the world of survival of the fittest in the Divine Kingdom!"

"That Qin Feng is indeed detestable, but he’s strong enough not to care about the wrath of true gods. Many true gods didn’t even get a chance to resent him before they died."

"Such things happen too often in the Divine Kingdom."

"Once, two Heavenly Divine Venerables fought, resulting in the destruction of a Star Continent inhabited by martial artists. They had no idea how many martial artists died in the aftermath of the battle between those two Heavenly Divine Venerables."

"Those martial artists, like those who died in this beast chaos, probably didn’t know until their deaths what caused their homelands to crumble, nor did they understand what had happened."

"And those two Heavenly Divine Venerables, who also came from prominent backgrounds, were not pursued in the end by the Western Territory King, who governed that Star Continent. Thus, those martial artists died in vain."

"Fellow Ye Chen, we live in the Divine Kingdom where countless heavenly tribulations and divine calamities are inevitable. Similarly, innumerable man-made disasters sometimes cannot be avoided."

"There’s only one way, and that is to make ourselves strong enough, strong enough to deal with all natural disasters and man-made afflictions!"

Mu Xiao’s words made Ye Chen nod deeply in agreement.

In the eyes of the strong, the lives of the weak are nothing more than chaff, unworthy of their attention.

Then do not be weak, be the absolute strong!

Be the existence that those who regard life as worthless must look up to!

"My path is still very long..."

"I don’t want my homeland to be destroyed without cause one day, as Mu Xiao described, by the actions of powerful beings."

"Nor do I want to die inexplicably in natural or man-made disasters. My father and mother are still waiting for me, Jiang Yao is waiting for me in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain!"

"How could I not become stronger?!"

"One day, once I become an existence like the East Territory King, like Elder Ku Du, who in the Divine Kingdom would dare disregard my feelings?"

"And one day, when I become an existence like Lord Emperor Yan, like Zi Ji Star Lord, would I still need to worry about disasters in the Divine Kingdom?"

"Only strength matters!"

Ye Chen took a deep breath and clenched his fists.

The heart of the strong surged within Ye Chen.

After their conversation,

Mu Ling and Mu Xiao asked Ye Chen, "Fellow Ye Chen, the great beast turmoil has now subsided. What are your plans next?"

Ye Chen’s gaze turned straight to the Nine Suns Realm.

In his hand, he still held the Secret Treasure Map he had obtained from the Golden Light Quintuplets, which claimed that a great opportunity lay within the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree, and entering it might enhance his combat power once again.

Ye Chen, wanting to become stronger, would naturally not miss such an opportunity.

He already had the "Fire Elemental Lotus Seed," enough for a breakthrough to a five-tribulation true god.

But of course, Ye Chen was not satisfied with being just a five-tribulation true god; he intended to strive for an even higher realm!

"I plan to go to the Nine Suns Realm, to a place called ’Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree,’" Ye Chen said to Mu Ling and Mu Xiao, "If you two friends have no other plans, you can come with me and check it out."

"Nine Suns Realm, Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree?"

Mu Ling and Mu Xiao looked at each other and nodded with a smile, "Since we came to the Nine Suns Realm just for a diversion, let’s join Ye Chen and check it out together!"

Ye Chen intended to take the two people who owed him a life-saving favor to the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree; if there were an opportunity, it would also count as repaying their kindness.

Meanwhile, Mu Ling and Mu Xiao, after learning of Ye Chen’s background, thought to protect him along the way, to ensure Ye Chen didn’t fall into danger again in the treacherous Nine Suns Realm.

Little did the trio know that Long Li was currently within the Heaven-reaching Ancient Tree they aimed to visit.

And moreover, several others were also gradually making their way to that place!
