Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 764 - 716: Admission Ceremony

When Ye Chen, the Little Provincial Princess, and the others arrived at the venue for the induction ceremony, they discovered an immensely vast plaza, and at the very center of the plaza stood a majestic and imposing grand hall.

What was even more special was that in front of the grand hall stood a stone stele, and at the very top of the stele were three glittering, golden characters—"True God Ranking List".

"The True God Ranking List!"

"It seems this is the True God Ranking List that the East Territory King mentioned before, one of the three special ranking lists."

Ye Chen's gaze traveled down below the "True God Ranking List" and, as expected, saw the ranking records of a thousand disciples from the nine Divine Institutes.

The Supreme Divine Institute truly deserved its rank as the number one Divine Institute among the nine.

Of the top ten names on the "True God Ranking List," eight were occupied by disciples of the Supreme Divine Institute!

"Lord East Territory King!"

The moment Ye Chen and his group, led by the East Territory King, entered the Grand Ceremony Plaza, they immediately drew the attention of countless people.

Three individuals dressed in the garments of the Supreme Divine Institute's elders, who looked to be in charge of hosting the induction ceremony for the new disciples, hurried over to greet the East Territory King upon seeing him.

There were many revered figures who had brought new disciples to the Supreme Divine Institute, but it was quite rare to see Venerables among them.

And, as for a personage as famously renowned as the East Territory King within the Divine Kingdom, they were, of course, even more seldom seen!

"Elder Yuan, Elder Donglin, Elder Fang." The East Territory King obviously recognized these three Venerables and also exchanged pleasantries with these three five-star Sovereigns with a smile.

Many eyes lingered on the East Territory King.

What was surprising, however, was that even more eyes were fixed on Ye Chen.

Among these gazes were those of new disciples like Ye Chen, who had just been given the opportunity to join the Supreme Divine Institute after the examination of the nine Divine Institutes, coming here for the first time.

And then there were many old disciples who had come to the plaza to witness the new disciples' ceremony.

"Ye Chen is here!"

"I heard that the most important part of the new disciples' induction ceremony is for the new disciples to try and break into the 'True God Ranking List.' Ye Chen's performance in the examination of the nine Divine Institutes was so extraordinary; it's considered a miracle in the history of the examinations."

"I wonder if he can strike to the first place on the 'True God Ranking List' just after joining the Divine Institute."

"Of course, he can. I bet that Ye Chen definitely has the strength to challenge the first place on the 'True God Ranking List'!"

"Those older disciples may have joined the Supreme Divine Institute earlier, but they are still True Gods of the Nine Tribulations. They haven't broken through to the God King Realm. In the True God Realm, Ye Chen is an absolutely incredible existence. He simply won't be intimidated by those older True God disciples, unless it's those older God King disciples who might possibly be more powerful than Ye Chen!"

As soon as these new disciples caught sight of Ye Chen, many of them hurriedly approached to greet him, while even more stood at a distance, engaged in excited chatter.

These new disciples, who had attended the examination of the nine Divine Institutes with Ye Chen, of course knew how formidable he was.

The new disciples discussed animatedly among themselves, and many of the older Supreme Divine Institute disciples on the plaza narrowed their eyes when they saw Ye Chen.

The older disciples of the God King Realm were slightly better off, but those of the True God Realm felt a strange sense of fear in their eyes when they saw Ye Chen.

"Is this the legendary Ye Chen who took first place in this recent examination of the nine Divine Institutes?"

"It's said that at the end of the examination, he even shattered a magical treasure in the process of forming from an extreme celestial object, and his combat power even soared instantly to the level of a lower Earth Divine Venerable!"

"Hiss! Terrifying, absolutely terrifying! This time the Supreme Divine Institute has really gained an extraordinary individual!"

The older disciples of the True God Realm were all discussing Ye Chen's strength.

And those of the God King Realm were thinking about something else entirely.

"This Ye Chen...is he the one who got involved with our Sister Long Li?!"

"Our Supreme Divine Institute's number one goddess, to think that she was actually embraced by this young man!"

"I also heard that 'Qin Feng,' who was ranked fifth on the God King List, was slain by this Ye Chen, which led him to bitterly antagonize the Divine Dragon Mountain among the four great forces, attracting the attention of Sovereign Xuechen—the number one power in our Supreme Divine Institute—as well as the Northern Territory King from the four great Territory Kings, setting three demands in place!"

"This Ye Chen, even though he is only of the True God Realm, has caused such a big stir. Truly amazing!"

Most of these older God King Realm disciples secretly adored Long Li.

Ye Chen had developed a relationship with Long Li.

If it had been earlier, when Ye Chen brazenly came to the Supreme Divine Institute, probably many would be eager to kill Ye Chen to vent the frustrations in their hearts.

However, now, Ye Chen's miraculous performance in the examination of the nine Divine Institutes had made countless old God King Realm disciples not dare to trouble him at all.

Especially these old disciples who had gathered around the plaza even before the ceremony started—their strengths were not very strong.

Of course, they dared even less to provoke Ye Chen!

With countless gazes upon him and a multitude of whispers around, Ye Chen didn't seem to mind whatsoever. Along with the Little Provincial Princess and the other True Gods from the East Territory King's mansion, he curiously looked around the Supreme Divine Institute.

In the future, this would be the place where he would cultivate for many years, so naturally, Ye Chen couldn't help but observe.

As time passed, more and more new disciples arrived at the Grand Ceremony Plaza, and the number of senior disciples from the Supreme Divine Institute who flocked to watch the excitement also increased.

"Ye Chen!"

Half an hour after Ye Chen arrived at the plaza, several familiar faces also made their way there, flying directly towards him.

These familiar individuals were none other than Mu Ling, Xiao Hongming, Hong Yi, Lin Xiaowan, and others.

A little while later, Yang Yun and Yang Yan, who bore some personal grudges against Ye Chen, also arrived at the Grand Ceremony Plaza, flanked by a large group of high-ranking God Kings.

"Is that Ye Chen?"

Nobody knew that among the group beside Yang Yun and Yang Yan, two high-ranking God Kings looked at Ye Chen with calm eyes, but their souls were greatly stirred at first sight of him!

"Yang Yun (Yang Yan) has asked me to assassinate this Ye Chen, promising me a superior Xuan Tian magical treasure in return."

"Although I am a high-ranking God King, my resources for cultivation simply cannot compare with those of the descendants of these venerable masters. A superior Xuan Tian magical treasure—I must get it! I have no choice, I must seize this opportunity. Humph, Ye Chen, you can only blame yourself for provoking Yang Yun and the others!"

"My combat power is such that I can even contend with a mid-ranking Earth Divine Venerable. I've heard you can touch the strength of a lower-ranking Earth Divine Venerable across realms? That is far from enough for me!"

"With this item given by Yang Yun (Yang Yan) to protect against the 'Blue Extreme Iceflame,' this time, I must find the opportunity to succeed!"

Those two high-ranking God Kings caressed a blue item in their hands, with murderous intent blossoming in their hearts!

They were the two high-ranking God Kings recruited by Yang Yun and Yang Yan.

While they were plotting in their hearts, what they didn't know was that Ye Chen, though not looking in their direction, similarly felt a chill in his heart.

Because the voice of Xiaojiu was transmitted directly into Ye Chen's mind.

"Ye Chen, there are two high-ranking God Kings beside Yang Yun and Yang Yan who are harboring murderous intent towards you. They may hide it deep, but as a Soul Beast, I am extremely sensitive to such sensations!" Xiaojiu said to Ye Chen.

During the exams in the nine Divine Institutes, Xiaojiu had been confined by the inexplicable forces of the ancient battlefield within the Ice Snow Jade Pendant and couldn't help Ye Chen.

After leaving the examination area, Xiaojiu finally could communicate with Ye Chen again.

Upon discovering something unfavorable towards Ye Chen, Xiaojiu naturally had to inform him.

"Murderous intent?"

After hearing Xiaojiu's words, Ye Chen finally looked in Yang Yun and Yang Yan's direction, his gaze casually drifting to the two high-ranking God Kings Xiaojiu had mentioned.

"It seems that Yang Yun and Yang Yan haven't given up on their grudge against me!"

"The command of the venerable master restricts the God Venerables from making a move against me, so they have recruited God Kings."

"Humph, back in the Nine Suns Ancient Land, they bore murderous intent towards me, and I hadn't planned on letting them go either!"

"These accounts, all shall be settled one by one!"

Ye Chen's eyes sparkled, his mind calculating countermeasures.

About an hour after Ye Chen, the Little Provincial Princess, and others arrived at the Grand Ceremony Plaza, the moment for the ceremony to begin finally arrived.

Xue Ningning, Tianyu Beiling, Mo Yuan, and several others whom Ye Chen had faced off against in the final round of the exams at the nine Divine Institutes also rushed to the plaza.

By now, there were tens of thousands of martial artists gathered on the Grand Ceremony Plaza!

Among them were eight hundred and ninety-three new disciples joining the Supreme Divine Institute, with the remainder being Divine Venerables who had escorted these new disciples, while the rest of the three to four thousand people were senior disciples and elders of the Supreme Divine Institute.

This time, Sovereign Xuechen and the Northern Territory King had not shown themselves.

Clearly, the entire ceremony for the new disciples joining the institute was left to the three five-star venerables to handle.

After conversing with the East Territory King for a while, the three five-star venerables, seeing that all the new disciples had arrived and the time to start the ceremony had come, bowed to the East Territory King with cupped fists and then strode out.

Among them, Elder Yuan, who had been referred to as "Elder Yuan" by the East Territory King, was the first to speak out, "This ceremony for the new disciples joining the institute will be presided over by us three elders!"

"First, the eight hundred ninety-three True Gods newly joining the Supreme Divine Institute, proceed to stand in front of the 'True God Ranking List.' I will inform you of the matters related to the ceremony that you all need to understand."

Upon hearing "Elder Yuan's" words, Ye Chen, the Little Provincial Princess, Xue Ningning, and others exchanged glances and then, along with the other new disciples, stood in front of the enormous stone stele known as the 'True God Ranking List.'

Skimming his gaze over the faces of the eight hundred ninety-three True Gods and confirming that these were all the new disciples, Elder Yuan continued, "Congratulations on joining the Supreme Divine Institute. From now on, you are disciples of the Supreme Divine Institute!"

"The rules of the Supreme Divine Institute, new disciple induction items, and other essentials required for your cultivation at the Institute are all contained in this 'Supreme Spirit Jade Pendant.' Each of you will receive one."

As Elder Yuan spoke, with a wave of his hand, eight hundred ninety-three blue jade pendants, which had already been prepared, flew towards the new disciples.

Ye Chen caught the jade pendant and immersed his Divine Sense in it, discovering it contained many things: some volumes, the attire of a True God disciple of the Supreme Divine Institute, and items such as jade tokens, Divine Stones, and Pills.

While Ye Chen and the other new disciples were inspecting the items within the jade pendant, Elder Yuan added, "The basics have been distributed. Now, we come to the key items for the ceremony for new disciples."

"These key items include your choices for cultivation abode and the evaluation of your access levels within the Supreme Divine Institute, among other things. These will all be determined by your results from challenging the 'True God Ranking List!'"
