Primordial Star Scripture-Chapter 780 - 731 The Land of the Western Region
After looking at several missions, Ye Chen felt that the sixth one was the most suitable for him.
On one hand, this mission only required combat strength at the level of an Earth Divine Venerable to accept, without the need to be in the Earth Divine Venerable realm, which was very suitable for Ye Chen's situation.
On the other hand, the reward for this mission was as high as 130,000 Merit Points. Ye Chen had noticed that many later missions were also around 100,000 Merit Points, but some only offered just over 90,000 points and were not enough to exchange for a "Tribulation Inducing Pill".
These 130,000 Merit Points, however, were more than enough to exchange for a "Tribulation Inducing Pill"!
What's more, this mission was located in the western province of the Wan Mu Mountain Divine Kingdom.
As part of his plan, in addition to completing a level five mission, Ye Chen also had another matter to deal with, which was to resolve the issue with the Ice Sealed God King's enemy, "Ni Shan God King", whom he had just learned about.
That "Ni Shan God King", according to information gathered from the Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion, had appeared three years ago in the Star Continent at a place called Snow Lotus Mountain, located in the western province of the Divine Kingdom.
And from the detailed description of the sixth mission, Ye Chen knew he would pass through the Snow Lotus Mountain in the Star Continent en route to that "Demon Tomb" land.
If he took on this sixth mission, Ye Chen could first take care of the "Ni Shan God King" matter conveniently before dealing with the sixth mission!
As for the requirement of the mission to take a "Thunder Turtle Egg" from a senior Earth Divine Venerable level "Thunder Turtle", that wasn't too difficult for Ye Chen.
"Let's see if there are any other more suitable missions first," he thought.
"If not, I'll choose this sixth mission."
After contemplating, Ye Chen continued to look at the other missions below the screen.
After reviewing over a hundred missions on the screen, Ye Chen's gaze returned to the sixth mission.
Although some of the later missions were also very suitable for Ye Chen,
when compared, the sixth mission was still the most appropriate.
"I'll choose this mission!" Ye Chen made his decision in an instant.
Then, Ye Chen stepped towards the senior divine god serving as the elder in charge of the fifth mission area below the screen.
When the Earth Divine Venerables below the screen saw Ye Chen's movement, they quickly stopped looking at the screen and turned their attention to Ye Chen.
Although these individuals were also selecting missions while Ye Chen was choosing his, they were curious to see which level five mission the nine calamities True God would pick.
Now, seeing Ye Chen as if he had made his choice, they naturally wanted to see the outcome of his selection.
"Ye Chen, have you already chosen the level five mission you'd like to undertake?" the senior divine god elder in charge of the level five mission screen asked with a smile.
"Reporting back to the elder, I have selected my mission, which is the sixth one," Ye Chen replied to the elder.
"The sixth mission?!" Upon hearing Ye Chen's words, the senior divine god elder's eyes slightly trembled, "This mission requires taking a 'Thunder Turtle Egg' from a senior Earth Divine Venerable level 'Thunder Turtle'. That 'Thunder Turtle' is notoriously ferocious, and without complete suppression, there is no hope of obtaining a 'Thunder Turtle Egg'!"
"Moreover, that 'Demon Tomb' land is not a simple realm. It is filled with the corpses of many ancient demonic beasts, and although those beasts are dead, various calamities often occur in that realm."
"That's why this mission is ranked as the sixth, among the most challenging ones."
"Ye Chen, you are indeed a genius, but after all, you are still in the True God Realm, and even if you choose a level five mission, it would be safer to choose those at the very bottom," the elder advised.
"You must know that failing the mission can affect your opportunity to choose future missions!"
"Of course, that's not the most important thing to be concerned about. The minor issue is failing the mission; if you fall during the mission, there's truly no regret medicine for that!" the senior divine god elder cautioned Ye Chen.
This elder, who belonged to the lowest rank of junior elders among the elders of the Supreme Divine Institute, had a realm far surpassing Ye Chen's. Yet, to a notable figure of the Supreme Divine Institute like Ye Chen, the elder was inclined to cultivate good relations with him.
Ye Chen understood the elder's good intentions.
However, some of his methods were not something he could disclose to the elder.
As for the elder's mention of the unexpected events in the "Demon Tomb" land,
Ye Chen had asked Xiaojiu about the "Demon Tomb" land when he was considering the sixth mission.
Xiaojiu was indeed familiar with the "Demon Tomb" land.
Xiaojiu also told Ye Chen that the "Demon Tomb" land, filled with the corpses of countless ancient demonic beasts and dense with Yin energy, could only be safely navigated with extreme Yang methods.
Ye Chen's "Star Blue Divine Garment" was a divine garment forged from the prototype of a supreme celestial object and, having absorbed the "Primordial Magnetic Thunder Force" from Sovereign Lei Fa's domain, was particularly effective against Yin energy objects.
To venture into the "Demon Tomb" land with it was an exceedingly suitable protective measure.
It was for these reasons that Ye Chen ultimately chose the sixth mission.
"Thank you for your kind advice, elder, but I will choose this mission. It is quite suitable for me," replied Ye Chen to the elder, without any hesitation.
"This..." The venerated elder of the Heavenly Gods hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded, "Ye Chen, if you choose this task, we cannot forcibly change it; however, you will need to leave the Supreme Divine Institute to complete it. Along the way, you must take great care."
"Before I hand over the detailed mission scroll containing the specific information of the task, you must demonstrate that you have met the task's requirement—your combat power must have reached the Earth Divine Venerable level."
"Although I have heard that your combat power has reached the level of a lower Earth Divine Venerable, we still need to confirm it."
Ye Chen smiled, "No problem."
Then, Ye Chen placed his palm on the crystal used to test combat power that the venerated elder of the Heavenly Gods had taken out. The immense killing power of the "Silent Annihilation Nine Swords" fifth sword suddenly burst forth toward the crystal.
In an instant, the light representing the combat power level of a lower Earth Divine Venerable blazed brightly!
Many in the audience who had been paying attention to Ye Chen had long heard of his various miraculous deeds.
However, many of them had not witnessed Ye Chen's true capabilities.
Now, seeing Ye Chen truly capable of eliciting the combat power of a lower Earth Divine Venerable at the Nine Tribulations True God Realm, even several Earth Divine Venerables took a shocked breath.
Of course, these people were inside the Merit Mission Pavilion earlier and did not see the methods that Ye Chen used to execute Xue Xian on the "Platform of Life and Death" not long ago.
Otherwise, these people would likely be even more astoundingly incredulous!
Before long, Ye Chen, carrying the detailed information "Mission Scroll" for the sixth task, along with the Little Provincial Princess, and Mu Ling and Mu Xiao who had also chosen their tasks, left the "Merit Mission Pavilion."
They left behind a crowd of Supreme Divine Institute disciples staring dumbfounded as they saw Ye Chen firmly choose the highly dangerous sixth task among the fifth-level tasks.
...
Ye Chen did not know that after he accepted the sixth task, within a dwelling deep in the continent where the powerful masters of the Supreme Divine Institute resided, a female sovereign who had been sitting in meditation with closed eyes suddenly saw one of her treasures light up with beams of light.
The female sovereign instantly opened her eyes.
With a pale hand, she reached towards the treasure in front of her, and moments later, her eyes slightly shifted.
"Oh, I need to refine the 'Return to Origin Extreme Pill' and specifically released five tasks to the Merit Mission Pavilion for the Divine Institute. Among them, the main ingredient task has already been taken by two junior sovereigns."
"I didn't expect that one of the secondary ingredients, that 'Thunder Turtle Egg,' would be taken by Ye Chen."
"Ye Chen, looking at him, he's the young man who's involved with my sister Long Li! I had said I'd find an opportunity to meet this youngster, but I never thought he would take on my task!"

"Based on the information from the 'Merit Mission Pavilion,' Ye Chen actually possesses the combat power level of a lower Earth Divine Venerable!"
This female sovereign, who usually remained in closed-door cultivation, was also mentally shaken.
"However, the 'Ancient Demonic Beasts Graveyard' is extremely dangerous. I really wonder if he will be able to complete the task..."
"Oh well, we sovereigns should not interfere with the disciples' tasks. Let the mission to the 'Ancient Demonic Beasts Graveyard' serve as a test for Ye Chen, hoping he returns safely..."
After muttering to herself, the female sovereign closed her eyes again.
If any other sovereign of the Supreme Divine Institute were to see this female sovereign, they would certainly recognize her as the famously renowned master alchemist of the Institute, a figure at the Seven-Star Sovereign level, Sovereign Jia Lan!
...
After leaving the "Merit Task Pavilion," Ye Chen bade farewell to Mu Ling and Mu Xiao.
He then accompanied the Little Provincial Princess for a walk around the junior disciples' area, not returning to his own dwelling until nightfall.
Back at the dwelling, Ye Chen began to think through some matters concerning his upcoming departure.
This trip to find out information about the "Tribulation Inducing Pill" led to an unexpected conflict with Xue Xian, and Ye Chen thoroughly intimidated both Yang Yun and Yang Yan.
Ye Chen did not regret the use of a "Xuan Divine Awl" to kill Xue Xian.
By taking action, he had effectively 'killed the chicken to warn the monkey.' Not to mention deterring others from provoking him easily, even Yang Yun and Yang Yan would probably be scared enough not to offend Ye Chen lightly again.
This also amounted to Ye Chen resolving some hidden dangers.
As for the three matters he inquired about at the "Ten Thousand Spirits Pavilion."
Ye Chen finally had some clues about "Tribulation Inducing Pill" and Ni Shan God King.
Finally, Ye Chen looked at the detailed information on the "Mission Scroll" from the "Merit Mission Pavilion" for the sixth task and read it carefully.
A night passed.
The next day, Ye Chen went directly to a realm where Yang Yun and Yang Yan, in accordance with the three conditions put forth by Ye Chen earlier, had set up a table of food and drink to formally apologize to Ye Chen.
Ye Chen did not take this matter too seriously.
After all, his intention had been to intimidate Yang Yun and Yang Yan.
Upon returning from the apologetic feast, Ye Chen plunged into preparing for the mission ahead in earnest.
