Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 954 - 904: Recruitment (2nd Update)

The eight sovereigns and Ye Chen all flew into the Lin Mansion.

Upon seeing this scene, countless martial artists from the families of Frost God City were filled with extreme envy toward the Lin Family.

"The Lin Family has latched onto the leg of Ye Chen, the Divine King."

"Because of Divine King Ye Chen, they've now drawn the attention of eight high-ranking sovereigns."

"From now on, I dare say no family in Frost God City will dare provoke the Lin Family lightly!"

Amid the whispers of the crowd.

Inside the Lin Mansion, Lin Fei'er, who had been cultivating for a long time, finally opened her eyes.

When she saw Ye Chen, Lin Fei'er excitedly exclaimed, "Brother Ye Chen, I succeeded!"

But when her gaze landed on the eight high-ranking sovereigns beside Ye Chen, Lin Fei'er was startled and asked, "Brother Ye Chen, who are they…"

At that moment, Sovereign He smiled gently at Lin Fei'er and said, "Young girl, would you be willing to take me as your master?"

...

An hour later.

The eight sovereigns flew out of the Lin Mansion, each of them wearing a smile. Moments later, they merged into the void and disappeared entirely.

Awhile later, Ye Chen also emerged from the Lin Mansion, surrounded by Lin Family members.

At this moment, the Lin Family members were utterly consumed by joy.

They never imagined that not only would Lin Fei'er be fully cured by Ye Chen, but she would also awaken the innate divine body they hadn't known she possessed. Moreover, just now, the Eight-Star Female Sovereign had even accepted Lin Fei'er as her disciple and specifically left behind numerous cultivation manuals and treasures for Lin Fei'er and the Lin Family.

The Lin Family members all understood one thing.

Everything they now had was brought to them by Ye Chen.

Though Lin Shan remained trapped and perished within the Heavenly God Mountain, the arrival of Ye Chen brought a glimmer of hope for the rise of the Lin Family!

Now, hearing that Ye Chen planned to leave after the departure of the eight sovereigns, the Lin Family was filled with both gratitude and reluctance.

"Brother Ye Chen, where are you going?" Lin Fei'er, more than anyone else, couldn't bear to part with Ye Chen.

The young girl knew that her very life had been saved by Ye Chen.

Her fate had been altered, all because of him.

If not for Ye Chen stating that he had matters requiring him to travel alone, Lin Fei'er would have wanted to stay by his side to cultivate.

Looking at the young girl's reluctant gaze and the grateful eyes of the Lin Family members, Ye Chen softly chuckled and said, "Fei'er, my friends, there's no need to see me off. I shall now set out for another divine kingdom. If fate wills it, we will meet again."

Without another word, Ye Chen waved to the Lin Family members, his figure moving instantly, darting straight into the void.

In the next moment, he vanished entirely from Frost God City.

Long after Ye Chen's departure, the Lin Family continued to stand outside the mansion.

Lin Fei'er stared after Ye Chen's disappearing figure and murmured, "Brother Ye Chen, we will meet again."

"I will diligently cultivate, using the methods you've passed on to me and those taught by my master. When I grow stronger, I will seek out my brother and, above all, find you, Brother Ye Chen!"

Determination surged in the young girl's eyes, exuding an unshakable resolve.

...

As he reached the heights of Polar Heaven, Ye Chen looked back one last time at Frost God City before turning his gaze to the distant horizon.

"The matter entrusted to me by Lin Shan has finally reached its perfect conclusion."

"Next, it's time to head to the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain to check on whether Jiang Yao and Long Li have emerged from the Zixuan Treasure Palace."

"And after that, I'll proceed to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen glanced at the "True Spirit Atlas" given to him by the eight sovereigns, his fist clenching tightly.

...

Haotian Divine City is the capital of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom and its most majestic giant city.

The entirety of Haotian Divine City occupies an unfathomably vast stretch of the Star Continent, with countless towering spires and soaring stone statues.

These stone statues depict figures with extraordinary characteristics—some bearing divine wings, others wreathed in perpetual flames, and still others of monstrous size, radiating bloodlight.

Each figure immortalized here is a renowned historical legend of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom!

The martial artists within Haotian Divine City number in the tens of billions. Among them, the numbers of God Kings, Divine Venerates, and Sovereigns far surpass those of any Divine City within the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation!

On this day, outside a massive mansion located in the southwestern area of Haotian Divine City, the atmosphere was lively and charged.

Looking up at the signboard above the mansion's gate, four grand characters gleaming with divine brilliance came into view—"Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion"!

At that moment, tens of thousands of martial artists jostled outside the Medicine Pavilion's estate.

These martial artists, at minimum, were at the God King Realm, with some even reaching the realm of the Immortal Divine Venerable!

Among them, an elderly man clad in yellow robes, exuding the aura of a Heavenly Divine Venerate, stood at the center of attention.

The elderly man raised his voice and said, "Everyone, please don't crowd! Please don't push!"

"Today marks our annual recruitment day at the Ten Thousand Spirits Medicine Pavilion. Everyone has the chance to join our herbal procurement team, but it all depends on your abilities."

Hearing the elderly man's words, one of the martial artists immediately shouted, "We heard that this year the Medicine Pavilion plans to venture into regions like the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain to gather spiritual herbs. Is that true, Steward Huang?"

Steward Huang nodded and replied, "Indeed. Not only will we head to the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain this time, but the young mistress herself will personally lead the team!"

At the mention of "young mistress," many of the younger martial artists among the crowd grew visibly excited. "The young mistress is finally leading the team to gather divine medicine again?"

"I heard that last time, the young mistress managed to collect a Heaven Spirit Torma Divine Flower from the Wuxuan Holy Mountain and used it to cure a high-ranking sovereign!"

"If the young mistress is leading, I absolutely have to join!"

"It just so happens that I, too, am headed toward the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain. Following the Medicine Pavilion will undoubtedly be the safest option!"

Another voice rang out eagerly, "What level of combat power is required to participate in this year's recruitment?"

"Steward Huang, please announce it quickly! We're all waiting to begin the selection process and secure our spots!"

Amid the clamoring crowd, Steward Huang chuckled loudly. "The eight regions we'll be venturing into for herb collection this time are not especially dangerous, and with the young mistress leading, the requirements aren't too stringent. As long as your combat power meets the Heavenly Divine Venerate level, you'll have a chance to qualify."

"I will be conducting the preliminary selection here."

"However, the final decision will still rest with the young mistress herself."

"For the preliminary test, it's quite simple—if you can defeat the Heavenly Divine Venerate Black Flame Puppet from our Medicine Pavilion, you'll pass the first round."

"Now then, those interested, please form an orderly line and participate in the selection one by one!"

As soon as Steward Huang finished speaking, the chaotic crowd of tens of thousands began to rush forward, quickly forming a long queue.

Toward the rear of the line, a young man gazed at the Medicine Pavilion's signboard before shifting his attention to the bustling crowd, nodding lightly to himself.

"It seems this Medicine Pavilion is indeed highly sought after."

"And as expected, they plan to head to the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain."

"The information I've gathered since arriving in the True Spirit Divine Kingdom's capital is indeed accurate."

"I intend to head to the Extreme Spirit Sea, and coincidentally, passing through the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain aligns perfectly with my route. Traveling alone in this unfamiliar divine kingdom would be immensely perilous, but joining the Medicine Pavilion's team offers a much safer alternative."

As he turned his gaze to the young man, the figure was none other than Ye Chen, who had journeyed to the True Spirit Divine Kingdom to fulfill Huyan Divine Master's final wish of finding General Yinsha!

After departing from Frost God City, Ye Chen had directly headed toward the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain.

Unfortunately, he still hadn't encountered Jiang Yao or Long Li during this visit.

Thus, Ye Chen did not linger in the Ten Thousand Beasts Domain. Spending countless teleportations and traversing nearly half the divine kingdoms in the cosmos, he finally arrived at the capital of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom—Haotian Divine City.

Upon reaching the True Spirit Divine Kingdom's capital, Ye Chen refrained from hastily heading toward the Extreme Spirit Sea.

He still remembered the words of caution from the eight sovereigns resounding in his ears.

Ye Chen wasn't about to act recklessly.

He spent several days exploring the capital, familiarizing himself with the people and environment of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom while gathering intelligence and searching for the safest means to reach the Extreme Spirit Sea.

During this time, Ye Chen learned about the Medicine Pavilion.

The Medicine Pavilion was renowned throughout the True Spirit Divine Kingdom, with branches spread across the land. It was said that the pavilion's master was a formidable practitioner who had reached the Nine-Star Sovereign Realm.

Moreover, the core members of the Medicine Pavilion were comprised of the True Spirit Sacred Beasts of the Nine Flames Clan, one of the five high-ranking life clans of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom. Their reputation was unparalleled within the kingdom.

Every year, the Medicine Pavilion dispatched teams to various mysterious regions within the kingdom to gather divine medicine.

These teams included both their own members and recruited martial artists from outside.

For the Medicine Pavilion, this was a way to harness additional manpower for herb collection.

For martial artists, the Medicine Pavilion offered generous rewards. Moreover, as their teams were known for their safety, many martial artists headed to other destinations would opt to join them temporarily. Upon reaching their desired location, they could part ways with the team.

As such, the Medicine Pavilion's annual recruitment events were always incredibly popular.

Martial artists seeking the pavilion's lucrative rewards or those planning to travel toward its collection sites would flock to these recruitment events.

Upon hearing about the Medicine Pavilion, Ye Chen became intrigued.

Particularly after learning that the eight regions they planned to explore this time were all situated in a southerly direction from the capital—en route to the Extreme Spirit Sea, where General Yinsha of the Extreme Spirit Clan awaited—Ye Chen resolved to accompany them.

"The Nine Lotus Holy Mountain is situated about a third of the way between the kingdom's capital and the Extreme Spirit Sea."

"If I can travel with the Medicine Pavilion's team to the Nine Lotus Holy Mountain, I'll have completed a significant portion of my journey in one go."

"The recruitment requirement this time is Heavenly Divine Venerate-level combat power? That shouldn't be a problem."

He murmured to himself as he waited in line.

While Ye Chen queued, deliberating his plans, the recruitment selection ahead of him had already begun.

Ye Chen's gaze landed on the combat puppet deployed by the Medicine Pavilion for their selection process—a humanoid black puppet.

Facing off against it was a martial artist over two meters tall, with scales covering large sections of his head.

As the black puppet began its battle with the recruit, Ye Chen's eyes lit up.

The Heavenly Divine Venerate-grade black puppet erupted into roaring black flames during the fight.

The opposing martial artist shouted, his body growing several meters taller. His exposed skin became entirely covered in scales, leaving only his eyes visible. In his hands, he wielded two fish-shaped halberds that gleamed with piercing light.

"So this is one of the True Spirit Sacred Beasts of the True Spirit Divine Kingdom. Their combat transformations are utterly distinct from the martial artists of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation."

Ye Chen watched with fascination as the battle unfolded.
