The Divine Urban Physician

Chapter 4283: Chapter 4283: Yuantian Divine Army Emerges

”What happened?”

Yu Siye, face stern and imposing, walked to the testing ground.

”Reporting to the Dean, the testing instrument broke.”

The examiner hurriedly reported.

”Oh?”

Yu Siye grabbed a shard of the stone tablet across the air, crushed it in his hand, as if comprehending something.

Then, a sharp light burst in his eyes. He locked onto Ye Chen and said, ”No need to test anymore. This student’s heaven-defying spiritual root is exceptional. I hereby announce that he is the first-place winner in this year’s Yuantian Academy selection!”

As his voice fell, the whole venue erupted.

”That brat is only at the first-level Heavenly Repairing Realm, how could he possibly be first?”

”Has the Dean gone blind?”

”Just a first-level Heavenly Repairing Realm, how could he take first place?”

Everyone found it unbelievable, clearly dissatisfied with this result.

If even Ye Chen could be first, wouldn’t they all be able to ascend to Heaven?

”Father, why give him first place? The first place is obviously mine!”

Yu Yingxue stepped out, her face full of anger.

Yu Siye did not say much. His gaze swept across the entire field, a vast, imposing aura shrouding all directions, as he said, ”This is a decision unanimously reached by the Academy. You need not say more. Examiner, announce the result.”

”Yes.”

The examiner loudly declared, ”On behalf of the Dean, I officially announce: in this year’s selection assessment, first place, Ye Chen; second place, Yu Yingxue; third place, Qin Wufeng. These three may directly enter Yuantian Academy for cultivation training. As for the rest, those whose tests are qualified may become Registered Disciples; those who are unqualified, please come again after a hundred years!”

As the result was announced, the whole crowd stirred.

Yu Yingxue and Qin Wufeng successfully entered the Academy; no one had objections to that. But many people were unconvinced that Ye Chen entered with the status of first place.

However, Yu Siye paid no heed to the voices of opposition. His majesty blanketed the field, and he still insisted on ranking Ye Chen first.

”Samsara Master, please come with me.”

After a brief pause, Yu Siye sent a secret voice transmission, a wisp of sound condensed into a fine thread, slipping into Ye Chen’s ear.

Ye Chen’s heart trembled. Yu Siye really had discerned his identity, which saved him the trouble of explaining and spared many hassles.

Yu Siye shot Ye Chen a meaningful look, then left, taking along Vice Dean Qin Zhen Nan and many core elders.

Ye Chen understood and nodded, then flew after them.

Meanwhile, the people present were still in an uproar, very dissatisfied with the result.

”Father!”

Yu Yingxue stamped her foot, watching Ye Chen’s departing figure, her heart filled with anger.

Judging from Ye Chen’s appearance, it was obvious that he had gained her father’s attention, while she herself had been neglected.

Yu Siye led Ye Chen deep into Yuantian Academy. With a wave of his palm, the space rippled like water, and a seal was opened.

They all entered the world within the seal. Here, it was completely isolated from the outside world, a stretch of desolate mountains.

”Your subordinate Yu Siye, pays respects to the Samsara Master!”

Yu Siye was the first to kneel, his tone incomparably reverent.

”Pays respects to the Samsara Master!”

Qin Zhen Nan and the many core elders also knelt down in unison, their faces filled with humble respect.

”Rise, all of you.”

Ye Chen’s heart surged, but he did not let it show; outwardly he remained calm, his voice light.

Li Shiyue had indeed been right—within Yuantian Academy, there truly lay a fortuitous chance belonging to him.

Now Yu Siye and Qin Zhen Nan—one Dean, one Vice Dean—and so many core elders all knelt to welcome Ye Chen.

As long as Ye Chen arranged things properly, when the Saint Slaughter Conference begins a hundred days from now, this would become a world-shaking power.

”Yes!”

Yu Siye, Qin Zhen Nan, and the many core elders rose together, heads lowered, hands hanging at their sides, maintaining their reverent posture.

They were all people left behind by the Samsara Master. Back then, their strength wasn’t considered high, but after endless ages, their power was now utterly transformed!

”Why has Yuantian Academy been moved underground?”

Ye Chen asked in puzzlement. If he hadn’t run into Qin Tianyu, he might not even have found his way here and would have nearly missed this opportunity.

Yu Siye’s expression turned solemn. He cupped his hands and said, ”Reporting to the Venerable Immortal: at the end of time, your previous life fell, Yuantian Academy was exposed, and then suppressed by Emperor Abyss Palace, with countless deaths and injuries.”

”Of the two elders who founded Yuantian Academy back then, one was me, and the other was the Qin family’s old ancestor. I was gravely wounded, and the Qin family’s old ancestor was directly slain. Helpless, I could only relocate Yuantian Academy underground to continue operating.”

As he spoke, Yu Siye lightly tapped his finger, and strand after strand of light converged into a scroll.

Within the scroll appeared a terrifying scene.

A Night Owl Giant Bird that blotted out the sky and sun sprawled across Heaven, bringing with it countless Emperor Abyss Palace experts as it descended upon Yuantian Academy.

Yu Siye and the Qin family’s old ancestor led the disciples of Yuantian Academy in a desperate resistance.

Ye Chen stared wide-eyed. Though the scroll had no sound, he seemed to hear the ancient slaughtering and roaring, shaking the soul.

In that battle, Yuantian Academy held the upper hand, beating the Emperor Abyss Palace experts back again and again.

But at that moment, the Night Owl Giant Bird entrenched in the sky landed and turned into human form. Blood Light erupted over its entire body, unleashing a terrifying Divine Might that crushed everything.

Yu Siye, the Qin family’s old ancestor, and countless Yuantian Academy disciples were directly annihilated under the crushing power of that Night Owl. All disciples were killed, the Qin family’s old ancestor died as well, and only Yu Siye escaped.

”Cold Blooded, Blood Devouring Ghost Hawk!”

Ye Chen fixed his gaze on the figure transformed from the Night Owl, his eyes incomparably sharp.

Bearing down with Heavenly Secrets, Ye Chen recognized it at a glance—that Night Owl figure was one of Dishi Tian’s most trusted subordinates, one of the ’Cold Blooded’ Four Great Beasts, the Blood Devouring Ghost Hawk!

This Blood Devouring Ghost Hawk had not yet fully taken shape, still in its embryonic phase, but upon its body was Dishi Tian’s dense blood essence, its pressure overbearing to the extreme.

Clearly, in order to eradicate Yuantian Academy, Dishi Tian did not hesitate to expend his own blood essence, and used the Blood Devouring Ghost Hawk’s hand to wipe out Yuantian Academy’s entire sect.

After this battle, only Yu Siye survived.

Crash.

The image vanished.

Ye Chen stood rooted in place, his eyes still filled with immense shock.

In this ancient war, Yuantian Academy was uprooted entirely, with only Yu Siye left alive. Ye Chen truly did not know how the man had endured the tens of thousands of years that followed.

”Lord Venerate, this is the Karma of Yuantian Academy in the previous life.”

”In that battle, only I escaped seriously wounded. I have always believed that the Samsara Master would not die so easily, so I clung to life, painstakingly rebuilding Yuantian Academy in the depths of the earth.”

”Today’s Yuantian Academy, though no longer as domineering as it was in the ancient era, is absolutely not to be underestimated and can aid you in establishing your hegemony.”

Yu Siye’s voice carried a desolate note. In these tens of thousands of years, he had gone through too much, suffered too many hardships, living every day in fear, terrified that Emperor Abyss Palace would discover him.

Fortunately, Emperor Abyss Palace believed that Yuantian Academy had been completely eradicated and did not waste any more time hunting them down, giving Yuantian Academy a chance at rebirth.

”You’ve worked hard.”

Ye Chen fell silent. Over these tens of thousands of years, Yu Siye had indeed had it rough, yet he had managed to successfully rebuild Yuantian Academy, preserving a portion of the Samsara Master’s forces—his merit was immense.

”Lord Venerate, though today’s Yuantian Academy has declined and no longer has the qualification to cultivate experts for the Yin Yang Divine Palace, under my reconstruction it still counts as a force. I have secretly trained a Yuantian Divine Army that can help you, here and now, to vie for supremacy!!!”
