Primordial Star Scripture

Vice City Lord Wang's voice fell, and the young male and female martial artists in the arena walked up to the light pillar, one by one, to start the test.

Ye Chen watched from the side, curious about whom among them would be chosen to fight alongside him in the Divine City battle.

The test of the "Three Divine Pillars" was quite straightforward—just launch all your combat power at the pillars, and a blue light would flash upon them.

The stronger the combat power, the higher the blue light column.

Next to the blue light column, different height levels of the light were marked.

"Combat Power Level Twenty-Seven."

"Combat Power Level Twenty-Nine."

"Combat Power Level Thirty-One..."

After each test, Vice City Lord Wang announced the results based on the height of the blue light columns from the force of the combat power.

In just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, the entire test was over.

In the end, a male martial artist with a dark mole between his eyebrows, a Niner Tribulation True God, achieved a combat power level of thirty-two, the strongest among the nearly twenty contestants.

Two others were close behind him, having achieved a combat power level of "Thirty-One" through the test of the Three Divine Pillars.

When the results came out, the best-performing male martial artist breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he was confident in his combat power before the test, he still inevitably worried after the actual test that he wouldn't be able to secure the only remaining spot to join the Divine City battle.

Unexpectedly, there were no surprises, and he dominated the competition!

The man was thrilled, but the two whose combat power levels reached "Thirty-One" paled in comparison.

Just one step away!

They'd missed the rare opportunity to represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the "Divine City Contest"!

How could they not be extremely annoyed and disheartened!

It's known that even if they represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the "Divine City Contest," there's no guarantee of victory over other smaller divine cities or securing one of the ten spots to enter Nine Suns Ancient Land.

However, just by participating in the "Divine City Contest," they stood a chance of being noticed by other forces, which could bring enormous opportunities for their future cultivation.

And should they be fortunate enough to win the grand contest among the eighteen small divine cities belonging to Circulation of Heaven Divine City and gain access to Nine Suns Ancient Land, it would be an immense opportunity for their martial cultivation.

Now, they almost had this chance, and it was slipping through their fingers—they were naturally annoyed and disheartened!

At this point, the two frustrated and disheartened individuals, either blinded by failure or revived by their previous grievances, simultaneously turned their gaze to Ye Chen, who had been observing the test.

They both remembered that this late-stage Heavenly Saint young man had claimed a spot in the Divine City Contest without testing.

While it might not have affected their interests before, they had refrained from speaking up.

However, now both thought that if this young man was not as strong as them and gave up his spot, they might be able to participate in the Divine City Contest.

With this in mind, the two spoke out directly to Ye Chen and Vice City Lord Wang, "Wang, we refuse to accept this!"

"We acknowledge Zhao Luo's victory over us, but this late-stage Heavenly Saint young man, who didn't test and is only at the late-stage Heavenly Saint realm, has taken a spot; we absolutely cannot accept this!"

"We hope Senior Wang will allow him to compete against us. If we are stronger, we should rightfully earn that sole spot!"

"Zhao Luo," mentioned by the two, was the black-moled Niner Tribulation True God who had achieved a combat power level of thirty-two in the test.

While they admitted their inferiority to Zhao Luo, they suddenly turned their complaints onto Ye Chen.

At this moment, Zhao Luo seemed quite content to stand by and watch the drama unfold, since he had already passed the test and secured his spot, he was more than happy to watch the unrest.

And the other martial artists, although they had no opportunity to contest for Ye Chen's position, felt the same indignation at him claiming a spot in the Divine City Contest while only being at the late-stage Heavenly Saint realm.

Remembering Vice City Lord Wang's earlier praise of Ye Chen, claiming that his combat power was beyond their imagination, they were entirely skeptical.

Suddenly, amid the dissenting voices of the two individuals closest to Zhang Luo's prowess, others also began to mutter under their breath, expressing their reluctance to have Ye Chen represent the Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Divine City Contest.

This turn of events greatly angered Vice City Lord Wang.

Clearly, he did not want his authority to be challenged.

"You've already failed the test and have no chance to contend for anything, step back," Vice City Lord Wang raised his eyebrows, looking at the two martial artists who started the commotion, and then he turned his attention to Zhao Luo, "Zhao Luo, come over here. I will take you and Ye Chen to meet with City Lord Nie and also introduce you to the contender selected by the city lord to participate in the Divine City Contest."

Upon hearing Vice City Lord Wang's words, Zhao Luo stepped forward.

However, Zhao Luo's gaze towards Ye Chen also carried a hint of disbelief.

Meanwhile, the two martial artists, designated failures by Vice City Lord Wang, seemed either crazed by their loss or utterly unwilling to forgo the chance to participate in the Divine City Contest. They actually disregarded the authority of Vice City Lord Wang, a lower-ranking Divine King, and shouted, "Senior Wang, you show favoritism!"

"This young man, if he represents our Circulation of Heaven Divine City and loses even a single match, it will be a disgrace to all martial artists of our city!"

"We don't accept him as our representative, nor do we believe in his strength!"

```

Boom!

As the two men shouted, Vice City Lord Wang's expression turned cold, and with a point of his finger in the air, he directly sent the two men flying dozens of yards away, crashing heavily onto the ground.

Vice City Lord Wang glanced at the green-robed middle-aged man hidden in the void, who was watching the lively scene, then turned his head back angrily towards the two martial artists he had sent flying.

"Ye Chen has a place in the Divine City competition, approved by the lord of the city. Are you dissatisfied, or would you dare to challenge the authority of the lord of the city?"

"I am merely giving you a minor punishment for not following the rules this time. If you continue to disrupt the selection of my City Lord's Mansion, it won't be a minor punishment anymore!"

Before Vice City Lord Wang could finish his words, the two martial artists yelled, "It's clearly you, Senior Wang, who is not following the rules! As long as this youngster has greater combat power than me, I will be absolutely convinced. You have been protecting him all along; could it be that he really does not possess the strength you claim?"

This clamor made others nod in agreement.

At this time, Ye Chen, who had been silent until now, finally sighed and looked at Vice City Lord Wang: "Senior Wang, since these people all insist that I must also take the test, then let me do it. After all, it won't delay much of my cultivation technique." Enjoy new stories from My Virtual Library Empire

While speaking, Ye Chen's gaze directly settled on the two Nine Tribulation True Gods martial artists who had been discontentedly clamoring, "You're saying that as long as my combat power is greater than yours, you will be convinced, right?"

"Alright then, your previous combat power test was 'Level Thirty-One'. I'll just achieve 'Level Thirty-Two' then."

As Ye Chen was speaking, his figure suddenly flashed and disappeared from beside Vice City Lord Wang.

The next moment, he landed beside the "Three Divine Pillars."

Before the clamoring martial artists could react, Ye Chen's palm gently slapped one of the Three Divine Pillars.

With that slap,

Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh! Whooosh!

The blue light columns of the Three Divine Pillars surged upwards madly, and to everyone's astonishment, it indeed reached the level above "Combat Power Thirty-Two" as Ye Chen stated!

This scene silenced those who were clamoring with discontent, their mouths hanging wide open.

The same scene also made Zhao Luo, who had some doubts about Ye Chen, narrow his eyes.

Zhao Luo knew that he had exerted his full strength during his earlier test, yet Ye Chen's casual slap had achieved a score comparable to his.

What was more frightening was that Ye Chen had said he would achieve this score, and indeed, he hit that specific number exactly.

With such performance, how could Zhao Luo not realize that this Sky Saint late-stage young man, Ye Chen, was much stronger than himself. To achieve the exact score one aims for meant absolute precision and control over combat power, something far beyond his own capabilities!

In the midst of their stunned silence, Ye Chen merely glanced at those martial artists who had doubted him and said, "This time, I am representing Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Divine City competition. There are no more objections, right?"

This time, not a single person dared to raise a doubt!

Seeing this, Vice City Lord Wang shook his head helplessly.

He had already said how strong Ye Chen was, but those people would not believe him until they were overawed.

Of course, Vice City Lord Wang also understood these people's eagerness for a place in the grand competition of Divine City, so he did not say anything more. With a sweep of his hand, he collected the Three Divine Pillars into his sleeve and then, nodding at Zhao Luo and Ye Chen, took the two away from the plaza.

The plaza was left with a group of martial artists who still felt as if they were in a dream.

Finally, these martial artists seemed to come back to their senses from their shock. As they looked at the spot where Ye Chen had stood, which was now empty, many screamed, "A late-stage Sky Saint with the powerful combat power of a Nine Tribulation True God – where did this young man come from?!"

Meanwhile, the green-robed middle-aged man and the white-clothed young lady hidden in the void's crack shared a knowing smile, their eyes shining brightly as they too disappeared from the void.

Half an hour later, Ye Chen left the City Lord's Mansion.

In this half-hour, under the guidance of Vice City Lord Wang, Ye Chen and Zhao Luo met Circulation of Heaven Divine City's City Lord Nie Yuan.

As Ye Chen had guessed before, the green-robed middle-aged man was Nie, the City Lord of Circulation of Heaven Divine City.

At the same time, Ye Chen also met the young lady who made him feel a hint of threat.

The things he learned from this young lady surprised Ye Chen even more – she was from the strongest Divine Institute among the nine of the Myriad Veils Mountain God Kingdom, the Supreme Divine Institute that even Old Man Ku Du had urged him to strive to join!

This revelation was both surprising and pleasing to Ye Chen.

He had seen Zhao Luo's strength and doubted whether he could keep winning in Divine City's grand battle, but for this young lady, Ye Chen was confident; probably no one could defeat her as the representative of the small Divine City's battle.

Together with himself, Ye Chen thus had great confidence in Circulation of Heaven Divine City securing the ten places to go to the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

In the end, Ye Chen truly agreed to represent Circulation of Heaven Divine City in the Divine City grand competition that would start in a little over two months.

After leaving the City Lord's Mansion, Ye Chen went straight back to the Zhou Family in Fallen Moon City.

The next day, he set out with the Zhou Family's young lady, Zhou Yue, towards the treasure ground left behind by the Ice-Sealed God King.

There were still more than two months until the Divine City battle, and only a little over three months for the crucial exploration of the Nine Suns Ancient Land. Ye Chen wasn't worried about the Divine City battle, but the Nine Suns Ancient Land would be entered by martial artists at the Divine King realm, so naturally, he wanted to increase his strength before heading to the Nine Suns Ancient Land.

Apart from being able to enhance his strength by entering the Life Origin Wheel in about two months, Ye Chen would not miss out on the treasure ground of the Ice-Sealed God King.

The Ice-Sealed God King had mentioned that in addition to treasures left for his people, he had also left something for Ye Chen.

Of course, Ye Chen wanted to see what was there in the treasury that could help increase his combat power even more!
