After Sovereign Jia Lan flew Ye Chen to the gathering site, she temporarily parted ways with him, heading directly toward the void where the leading Sovereigns of this expedition were located.
This ti, the God Kings from the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain, along with those from four other great Divine Kingdoms, are joining forces to charge Heavenly God Mountain, with each kingdom dispatching three Sovereigns to lead the team.
Among the three leading Sovereigns from the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain was Sovereign Jia Lan from the Supre Divine Institute, who had just brought Ye Chen to the gathering site.
The other two are from the Territory King Mansion of the Northern Territory and the capital of the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain.
The leading Sovereign from the Territory King Mansion of the Northern Territory has a higher realm even than Sovereign Jia Lan and higher than the Northern Territory King himself, being a Nine Stars Sovereign! This Sovereign is known as "Sovereign Tian i," a Female Sovereign.
It is said that both the current Northern Territory King and the previous one, who has beco an "existence surpassing a Sovereign," were raised by Sovereign Tian i.
Sovereign Tian i has not appeared in the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain for a long ti, and this ti she volunteered to be the leading Sovereign heading to Heavenly God Mountain, which stirred imnse shock among the countless Sovereigns of Wanmu Mountain.
Even the leading Sovereigns from the other four great Divine Kingdoms were surprised beyond asure.
After all, it was rare for Wanmu Mountain's Divine Kingdom to have a Nine Stars Sovereign take the lead.
The countless Sovereigns of Wanmu Mountain vaguely guessed that Sovereign Tian i's request to lead, just like Sovereign Jia Lan's, must be influenced by the Northern Territory King and Sovereign Xuechen, both powerful figures.
Sovereign Jia Lan is a disciple of Sovereign Xuechen, and Sovereign Tian i is the peak individual who raised the Northern Territory King. With their arrival, nurous Sovereigns speculated that they probably ca for Ye Chen's sake!
Although, on the surface, it might appear to be supervising Ye Chen to fulfill the second demand of the two great Sovereigns: "to charge into Heavenly God Mountain and co out alive."
But in reality, all the Sovereigns knew they must be there to protect Ye Chen!
To shield Ye Chen from the influences of the leading Sovereigns from the other four great Divine Kingdoms, as well as those from the Divine Kingdom of Wanmu Mountain!
To allow Ye Chen to wholeheartedly charge into Heavenly God Mountain!
At this ti, the Northern Territory King and Sovereign Xuechen had both gone to the Splendid Star Sea, so they dispatched their closest and most trusted formidable Sovereigns to take care of Ye Chen in their stead.
Otherwise, all Sovereigns guessed that the Northern Territory King and Sovereign Xuechen might have personally shown up!
Just like when Ye Chen fulfilled the first demand of the two great Sovereigns: "to obtain the first place in the examination of the nine Great God Institutes," the two great Sovereigns would personally provide support for Ye Chen!
Just as countless Sovereigns had guessed.
When Sovereign Jia Lan arrived with Ye Chen, as soon as she reached the void where the leading Sovereigns were, Sovereign Tian i nodded to her and sent a telepathic ssage: "Is Ye Chen ready?"
"He's ready, and Ye Chen is quite confident!" Sovereign Jia Lan replied to Sovereign Tian i with a smile.
Sovereign Tian i smiled and turned her gaze towards Ye Chen.
In her heart, Sovereign Tian i murmured, "Is this the youngster Li'er fancies? Not bad, he indeed possesses an extraordinary temperant!"
"On this journey, I must protect this youngster! Otherwise, those two girls will probably bla this old lady to death!" she silently mused.
As the murmuring in her heart ca to a close, a suprely confident expression erged in Sovereign Tian i's eyes.
It's unclear whether she can enter Heavenly God Mountain.
But outside of Heavenly God Mountain, with her present, absolutely no one can mistreat Ye Chen, not even other Nine Stars Sovereigns!
Sovereign Tian i had this absolute confidence!
...
Sovereign Jia Lan flew to where the leading Sovereigns were located, while Ye Chen set off towards the gathering place of the God Kings.
Woosh.
As soon as Ye Chen arrived, the countless God Kings on the outside voluntarily stepped aside, opening up a pathway for Ye Chen to the most central area.
"Senior Brother Ye Chen!"
"Senior Brother Ye Chen!"
Many God Kings, regardless of whether they knew Ye Chen or not, excitedly shouted his na.
Ye Chen glanced around and soon spotted many familiar figures in the central area.
There were the formidable God Kings listed on the God King List of the Supre Divine Institute, demon-level individuals like Hua Xuelian, Lin Shan, Sima Liao from the four great Divine Kingdoms, and even at the periphery of the central area was Xuan Chong, whom he had defeated before.
Xuan Chong, after being depleted of a hundred drops of Essence Blood and even his Life Origin suffering damage, still managed to rank highly among the four hundred thousand God Kings of the four great Divine Kingdoms.
Upon seeing Ye Chen's gaze turning his way, Xuan Chong's face changed.
He both hated and feared Ye Chen.
Seeing Ye Chen's glance, his neck involuntarily shrank back in fear.
Hua Xuelian, ranked first among the ten demon-level unparalleled geniuses of the four great Divine Kingdoms, instead smiled at Ye Chen and even nodded in greeting.
As for Lin Shan, ranked second, he was a bald man dedicated to his cultivation, still in ditative practice, seemingly oblivious to the countless people around him.
Regarding Sima Liao, his eyes flickered as he watched Ye Chen, though it was unclear what he was thinking.
Ye Chen noticed that the individuals from the God King List of the Supre Divine Institute like Yang Yun and Yang Yan were not present this ti.
Presumably, they have either already entered Heavenly God Mountain, or they simply had no intention of going in.
Ye Chen also noticed in the central area a graceful and elegant young girl in a white dress curiously sizing him up.
This young girl even transmitted a ssage to Ye Chen: "Are you Ye Chen, whom Sister Long Li ntioned? My na is Mu Qingxue, nice to et you."
Mu Qingxue?
Ye Chen was startled!
Was this young girl the genius ranked second on the God King List from the Tai Qing Divine Institute?
When Ye Chen was challenging the "God King List," he had heard the Fat God King praise Mu Qingxue's capabilities for quite a while.
Ye Chen was even more aware that this young girl, about the sa age as Long Li and on good terms with her, ca from the Northern Region of the Divine Kingdom and was exceptionally powerful even within the Middle God King Realm.
Ye Chen didn't expect that upon eting this young girl for the first ti, she would act as if she already knew him and even took the initiative to greet him.
Ye Chen also nodded and smiled back at Mu Qingxue before turning his attention to the others.
The God Kings from other regions and forces of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom gathered in the venue were almost all strangers to Ye Chen.
However, when Ye Chen's gaze fell upon the three God Kings from the "Heavenly Dragon Sect" at the corner of the gathering place, particularly the Middle God King Yan Nong, an expression of utter surprise appeared on his face.
"Ancient Emperor Senior!"
Ye Chen's face lit up with joy.
He imdiately flew towards the corner of the venue.
…
God King Mo Li and God King Fang Han were simply shocked to the extre!
Being situated at the edge of the gathering area and coming from a minor force as Junior God Kings, when they squeezed their way to the edge, almost no one noticed them.
But when Ye Chen flew towards them, the two God Kings could feel that nearly all the tens of thousands of God Kings in the venue were looking at them!
The two of them also felt that even the Divine Senses of powerful and extraordinary Sovereigns were sweeping over them!
They had never been the focus of so many figures before.
"Good heavens, could it be that this Ye Chen truly is a friend of Junior Brother Yan Nong?!"
"How is this possible, to change from a Heavenly Saint to a God King in just a few years, and to be such a formidable God King at that—how can this be?!"
God King Mo Li and God King Fang Han both opened their mouths wide in astonishnt.
The two of them knew that they had attracted so much attention solely because of this Ye Chen!
At this mont, Yan Nong's eyes were also filled with a mixture of surprise and joy!
This Yan Nong was the very Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan from the Minor Spirit Realm.
Soon after Ye Chen arrived in the Divine Kingdom, Yan Nong, who had just advanced to the God King Realm, was spotted by a Divine Venerable and taken as a disciple and brought to the Divine Kingdom.
Later on, he joined the "Heavenly Dragon Sect," a sect managed by that Divine Venerable, and cultivated there.
The Heavenly Dragon Sect was located in a minor place within the Southern Territory of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Kingdom.
The Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan seldom heard major news of the Divine Kingdom; he only found out that "Ye Chen" was ranked seventh on the God King List when he received a copied scroll of the list.
The Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan never expected that the Ye Chen who was seventh on the God King List was the sa Ye Chen he knew!
The Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan had even less anticipated that Ye Chen, only a little over three years into the Divine Kingdom, would make such a na for himself in the Supre Divine Institute, ranking first among the nine Divine Institutes!
This reputation was clearly beyond that of the seventh rank on the God King List; clearly, the rank of seventh on the God King List alone wouldn't cause so many people to look at Ye Chen with respect.
The Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan knew that Ye Chen must have achieved countless miraculous feats unknown even to him!
"In just over three years, he has made such a na for himself in the Divine Kingdom!"
"Ye Chen, he truly lives up to the reputation of a remarkably talented genius! Whether in the lower realm or in the Divine Kingdom, he still shines like a star, brightly without parallel!"
In the midst of his emotion, Ye Chen had already flown before him.
"Ancient Emperor Senior, long ti no see! I didn't expect to find you here in the Divine Kingdom!"
Encountering the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan here, Ye Chen was utterly astonished to the core!
He could never have imagined that among the crowd gathered for the trip to Heavenly God Mountain, he would encounter the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan—a figure from his past with whom he had much interaction!
At this ti, the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan was also exceptionally excited, with nurous questions pouring out.
"Ye Chen, you've broken through to the Lower God King Realm?!"
"And how could a Lower God King Realm manage to break into the God King List?!"
"Ye Chen, please tell about your experiences in the Divine Kingdom. I'm certain they must be absolutely magical!"
Ye Chen smiled: "Senior, I too was just thinking about learning so news from our holand."
Ye Chen then directly discussed with the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan the events that had happened to each of them since they parted.
"Who is that Middle God King?"
"How could he make Brother Ye Chen actually fly over and talk to him?"
When people saw that Ye Chen did not head towards the core area of the gathering place but flew down to the side where a Middle God King was, many started inquiring about the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan.
When they learned that this God King nad Yan Nong, like Ye Chen, ca from the lower realm, many were taken aback.
"Brother Ye Chen is a Martial Artist from the lower realm? My goodness, that he could be so formidable coming from the lower realm is incredible!"
The vast majority of the people in the venue were aware of Ye Chen's power.
However, very few knew that Ye Chen ca from the lower realm.
At this mont, the eyes of these God Kings widened.
…
Ye Chen was conversing with the Ancient Emperor of the Yan Clan.
God Kings who had not yet arrived at the gathering area eventually ca one after another.
When the ti for the gathering to end ca around, the number of God Kings going to Heavenly God Mountain had reached five hundred and thirty thousand.
All the God Kings who had obtained slots to challenge Heavenly God Mountain were present!
At this ti, one of the three leading Sovereigns of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation, from the capital of the Wanmu Mountain Divine Nation and an Eight Stars Sovereign, gave a fist salute to Sovereign Tian i and Sovereign Jia Lan, and then nodded to the other four Great Divine Kingdom team-leading Sovereigns before stepping forward.
This Sovereign was called "Sovereign Zeyang."
His gaze swept across the faces of countless God Kings.
In the end, his voice reached everyone: "Now that everyone has arrived, I will inform you of the matters to pay attention to when attempting to ascend Heavenly God Mountain."
Hearing Sovereign Zeyang's words, Ye Chen and all the others stopped their conversations and turned their attention toward Sovereign Zeyang.
