Primordial Star Scripture

The new disciples were extremely shocked, while the seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys were utterly stunned!

As Heavenly Saints, they could clearly see the techniques Ye Chen had used.

It was precisely because they saw clearly that the shock they felt was even more intense! The Heavenly Saint Envoys even felt ten strands of Killing Power Sword Light condensed to the extreme at the moment Ye Chen made his move.

It was these ten strands of Killing Power Sword Light, condensed to the extreme, that instantly slain the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts, and the power of the Killing Power Sword Light even gave the Heavenly Saints a sense of a formidable Holy Art or even the legendary Divine Arts!

They also felt a deadly threat!

It was as if the sword light, if it fell upon them, could potentially severely injure even them as early-stage strong practitioners of the Heavenly Saint Realm, unless they used a powerful move to defend themselves.

This feeling, of course, greatly surprised the seven Heavenly Saints.

One must know, Ye Chen was still only at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, ah. Even if he were incredibly talented, to be able to battle unbeatable within the Rotating Pill Realm was already unimaginable, let alone posing a threat to early-stage practitioners of the Heavenly Saint Realm – that was utterly inconceivable!

The Heavenly Saints who had been in Heavenly Sacred Palace for hundreds of years had never heard of anyone at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm posing a threat to those at the early stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm!

After exchanging glances, these seven great Heavenly Saints faced Ye Chen with extremely solemn expressions.

Even the three Heavenly Saints who had previously thought of teaching Ye Chen a lesson no longer had the slightest intention of underestimating him.

No joke.

They were only at the early stage of the Heavenly Saint Realm. Even if they were stronger than Ye Chen now, they were many years older than him. Given Ye Chen's current cultivation level at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm, his surpassing them in the future was absolutely a certainty.

Not a single Heavenly Saint would choose to make an enemy of such a talent for no reason!

The changing expressions of the seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys, seen by all the new disciples, made them feel even more impressed with Ye Chen's immense power.

Countless eyes were sizing up Ye Chen, recalling the introduction Mu Qingqing had given when Ye Chen entered the assessment area.

"From the Southern Territory, named Ye Chen!"

"Now, a significant figure has come to Heavenly Sacred Palace!"

"First Holy Temple, with his strength, he can definitely break into the strongest First Holy Temple!"

"In the future, he might even ascend to practice on Heavenly Saint Mountain!"

The new disciples discussed animatedly.

In the area for new disciples selected by Mu Qingqing.

Jiang Yao looked at Ye Chen, who was walking out from the assessment area, and her delicate little face broke into a sweet smile. As the person closest to Ye Chen, the young girl naturally knew what techniques Ye Chen had just used.

"Ye Chen said that after entering the Rotating Pill Realm, he has been practicing the sword techniques and Divine Arts from the 'Beiming Secret Tome' which he obtained from the falling artifact sword, the third layer, the Grand Five Elements Sword Light. It seems that during these tens of days of rushing to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, his Grand Five Elements Sword Light has already been cultivated to a very powerful extent."

Jiang Yao knew the origin of Ye Chen's techniques, but other people didn't understand as clearly.

Liu Qingmei at this moment was so astonished that her rosy little mouth gaped open. She still remembered that back on Immeasurable Mountain at Great Yue City Square, Ye Chen, despite being able to suppress three Supreme Rotating Pill strong practitioners, couldn't achieve a one-shot kill.

How much time has passed since then, and Ye Chen was now battling even more formidable twelve-pattern Bloodstripe War Beasts. Ten of these Bloodstripe War Beasts were no match for a single move from Ye Chen!

This kind of progress truly shocked Liu Qingmei.

"After stepping into the Rotating Pill Realm, Ye Chen has undergone a qualitative transformation."

"Now, he has truly reached a level where even I have to look up to him, just like Sister Jiang Yao!"

Liu Qingmei murmured to herself.

At this moment, the top and third-ranked contestants of the Hidden Dragon List, Xiao Chen and Luo Lie, were completely at a loss for words.

They were still worried about their upcoming battles with the Bloodstripe War Beasts, but Ye Chen, who had come with them to the Heavenly Sacred Palace, had effortlessly and cleanly dealt with the Bloodstripe War Beasts.

Even more so, both felt that even if the Bloodstripe War Beasts were stronger, Ye Chen could still kill them with ease!

Looking at the new disciples in front of them who had failed the first challenge, and then at the two new disciples who had won but barely, comparing them with Ye Chen who didn't have a single wound on his body and not even a drop of blood, the sense of difference made Xiao Chen and Luo Lie fall completely into admiration for Ye Chen!

All the expressions everyone wore fell into Mu Qingqing's view, making her already smiling eyes, sharp as a little fox's, shine with even more laughter.

Especially the reactions of those seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys, that really gave Mu Qingqing a good reason to gloat.

Previously, when Mu Qingqing was an Envoy, these seven Envoys often spoke ill of her behind her back, saying she took the position of Envoy only because of her grandfather's name and that she couldn't select any capable new disciples.

This time, Ye Chen has truly vindicated her!

"How about it, isn't Ye Chen impressive?"

Mu Qingqing's wily eyes were sparkling as she smiled at the other seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys.

"Impressive, indeed impressive!"

"Sister Mu, you truly picked a peerless talent for the Heavenly Sacred Palace this time!"

The seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys said with a wry smile and nodded their heads.

"A peerless talent?" Mu Qingqing chuckled softly, glancing back at Jiang Yao, "Not just one, Sister Jiang Yao is equally formidable as Ye Chen!"

"This time, it's likely that the 'Sacred Shock Drum' at our Heavenly Sacred Palace, which hasn't been sounded for many years, will be sounded anew."

Another formidable expert?

Jiang Yao?

When Mu Qingqing turned her gaze to Jiang Yao, towards that stunningly beautiful girl they had all been paying close attention to, the Seven Heavenly Saints were once again startled.

Could this fairy-like beautiful girl possess powerful methods too?!

The emergence of such a strong figure as Ye Chen had already been a rare sight within Heavenly Sacred Palace in a thousand years, and now the appearance of a powerful young lady was even rarer for the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

Upon hearing Mu Qingqing mention the "Sacred Shock Drum," these seven Heavenly Saint Envoys knew what that signified.

The Sacred Shock Drum was a treasured artifact hidden in the "Hidden Dragon Hall," where the assessment of new disciples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace took place. It would only sound if there were two or more absolutely extraordinary new talents emerging among the new disciples.

When this "Sacred Shock Drum" sounded, not only would the five Holy Temples tremble, but even the numerous Heavenly Saints cultivating on Heavenly Saint Mountain located behind the five Holy Temples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, including early-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts, and even the three palace masters of the late-stage Heavenly Saint Realm, could hear the drumming sounds of this "Sacred Shock Drum."

The Sacred Shock Drum symbolized that it had shocked the Heavenly Saints!

After the Sacred Shock Drum sounded, all the Heavenly Saints who had the time would gather at the "Holy Temple Tower," the location of the second phase of the assessment, to observe the genius going through the challenge.

Another meaning was that the few talents who could trigger the sounding of the Heavenly Saint Drum would catch the attention of all the Heavenly Saints. If they performed well at the second checkpoint, it might even result in mid-stage Heavenly Saint Realm experts or one of the three great palace masters taking them as disciples personally!

This was definitely an event that could shake the entire Heavenly Sacred Palace.

However, the Sacred Shock Drum had not been heard for many years. Even when absolute geniuses had emerged over the years, they were often alone. Such geniuses would ultimately report directly to the powerhouses on Heavenly Saint Mountain, informing them about these talents.

In the entire history of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, the Sacred Shock Drum had truly resounded only eight times!

Moreover, those eight masters, aside from those who had fallen, all later became extremely powerful Heavenly Saint Realm experts, with four of them being directly taken in as disciples by the palace masters of the Heavenly Sacred Palace!

Upon hearing Mu Qingqing say that the beautiful girl in front of her, in cooperation with Ye Chen, could make the Sacred Shock Drum sound again, the seven Heavenly Saint Envoys were naturally astonished!

Seeing these Envoys still somewhat incredulous, Mu Qingqing smiled and said to Jiang Yao, "Jiang Yao, it's all up to you now."

"If we can stimulate the Sacred Shock Drum to sound, it might catch the attention of the Heavenly Saints on Heavenly Saint Mountain for you and Ye Chen, bringing new opportunities."

New opportunities?

Jiang Yao's eyes brightened.

She and Ye Chen came to Heavenly Sacred Palace for cultivation in search of opportunities.

Whether it was to be prepared for the potential outbreak of a major war between the Southern Territory and the Western Wilderness, or to reach the Heavenly Saint Realm as quickly as possible so that they could return to the Minor Spiritual Realm to look for the Phoenix Clan members, both she and Ye Chen needed to become stronger!

If this entry-level assessment could trigger new opportunities, she would naturally strive for it.

Even if it wasn't for her own sake, for the sake of Ye Chen, she would fight for this opportunity!

With this in mind, Jiang Yao nodded to Mu Qingqing, then, taking Ye Chen's hand, who had just walked out from the assessment area, entered the assessment area as well.

Once Jiang Yao stood in the assessment area, the seven Heavenly Saint Realm Envoys were fully alert.

If this young lady, coupled with Ye Chen's previous assessment, could truly stimulate the Sacred Shock Drum to sound, then their selection of new disciples this time would indeed cause a major sensation in the Heavenly Sacred Palace.

"Can the Sacred Shock Drum really sound?"

The Heavenly Saints looked towards the inexplicable array patterns on the dome of the War Beast Hall.

While the other new disciples did not know what the "Sacred Shock Drum" they were talking about was, just by seeing the serious expressions of the Envoys and hearing about the opportunities that could make the Heavenly Saints on Heavenly Saint Mountain take notice from Mu Qingqing, their hearts also started pounding fiercely.

All eyes eventually gathered on Jiang Yao.

Just at that moment, the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts that Jiang Yao was about to battle roared as they burst out from the secret chamber of the War Beast Hall.

Jiang Yao, like Ye Chen, was also at the early stage of the Rotating Pill Realm.

The opponents she faced were also ten Bloodstripe War Beasts that had reached the supreme level of the Rotating Pill Realm with twelve stripes.

Before stepping into the Rotating Pill Realm, Jiang Yao could already defeat the three supreme Rotating Pills with a single move.

Now that she had entered the Rotating Pill Realm, the ten twelve-striped Bloodstripe War Beasts, which were extremely difficult for others to deal with, posed no difficulty to her at all!

In the instant when the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts roared towards Jiang Yao, with countless gazes watching Jiang Yao and the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts, Mu Qingqing revealed her utter confidence in Jiang Yao, and Ye Chen was also watching Jiang Yao with a light smile.

At that moment, Jiang Yao's fair and slender fingers lightly tapped towards the roaring Bloodstripe War Beasts charging at her.

Pff! Pff! Pff! Pff! Pff!

Ten icy blue flashes of lightning instantly pierced towards the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts.

In the blink of an eye, the ten icy blue flashes of lightning had already pierced into the bodies of the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts.

In the instant the icy blue lightning entered the bodies of the ten Bloodstripe War Beasts, these roaring creatures charging towards Jiang Yao were all abruptly immobilized in mid-air, and in the next moment, they disintegrated into ash!

With a single move, Jiang Yao had directly obliterated the ten supreme-level Rotating Pill Bloodstripe War Beasts, leaving not even their remains!

No one, neither the new disciples nor even the seven Heavenly Saint Envoys, had anticipated this outcome.

And before they could even regain their composure, they heard the resounding thunderous drumming that shook the entire War Beast Hall and the Hidden Dragon Hall, resonating through the area of the five great Holy Temples and even deep within Heavenly Saint Mountain.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

One drum beat after another echoed out from the War Beast Hall, spread through the Hidden Dragon Hall, reached the area of the five great Holy Temples of the Heavenly Sacred Palace, and even penetrated the depths of Heavenly Saint Mountain.

This was the sound of the "Sacred Shock Drum" that had not been heard for nearly a thousand years in the Heavenly Sacred Palace!
