Divine King of Honour

"Are you really going to take her with you?" Xuanyuan Qingling stood resolutely on the peak behind the Heavenly Court Gang's main hall, her back to Xu Nian.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian felt somewhat helpless.

He knew Sun Yuxiang's presence would more or less irritate Xuanyuan Qingling.

His relationship with Xuanyuan Qingling was extremely delicate.

Their relationship wasn't purely lovers, nor was it as simple as just friends.

If one had to use words to describe their relationship, it could only be said to be intimate confidants.

At least in many aspects, Xuanyuan Qingling had given him great assistance.

"She seems to know something about that small world, and Han Xiaoxiao's whereabouts are still unclear. I think Sun Yuxiang must know something, otherwise how does she know Han Xiaoxiao and the others are in the realm? So I want to take her along and see what she's hiding," Xu Nian explained with a smile.

Xuanyuan Qingling nodded, looked at Xu Nian, and said, "Be careful, this Sun Yuxiang is not an ordinary person."

Xu Nian nodded, but found it amusing.

If Xuanyuan Qingling knew that he just made Sun Yuxiang cry back in the main hall, he wondered what she would think.

"As you leave this time, I also plan to go into seclusion to fully reach the peak of Tribulation Crossing," Xuanyuan Qingling said.

"So soon?" Xu Nian asked with some surprise.

Since Xuanyuan Qingling's revival last time, her cultivation speed seemed much faster than before.

It was as if some kind of portal inside her had been opened.

"I'm not quite sure, but I vaguely feel that my constitution seems more suited to absorbing True Essence, and I have much better control over it than before," Xuanyuan Qingling responded.

In fact, she wasn't really sure; since her revival, her cultivation speed and levels of comprehension were significantly enhanced than in the past.

"If you can't figure it out, don't worry about it. It's a good thing anyway. Who knows? You might be a reincarnated fairy with a bloodline awakening," Xu Nian responded with a smile.

Xuanyuan Qingling did not respond. Her clear eyes gazed into the mist-covered distance with a complicated look.

No one knew what she was thinking.

Xu Nian felt somewhat awkward and said nothing more, quietly backing away.

The night passed in silence.

Early the next morning, Xu Nian took Xuanyuan Qingling and headed toward Ning King Star.

Inside the flying boat, Xu Nian and Sun Yuxiang sat facing each other.

Yet there was a distance between them.

Xu Nian closed his eyes and contemplated, mentally developing his Swordsmanship.

Sun Yuxiang, however, glared at Xu Nian with a resentful face.

This guy was truly aggravating; even with a beauty like herself here, he showed no interest.

The most annoying thing was that yesterday, this guy even pretended to look lecherous, toying with her.

Remembering what this guy had done to her, Sun Yuxiang grinded her teeth in anger.

Now he maintained a look of ignoring her, which left Sun Yuxiang, who was always proud, with a strong sense of defeat.

"Hmph, I'll definitely make you fall for me, and then I'll show you what this lady is capable of," Sun Yuxiang thought to herself with a cold snort.

However, she dared not provoke this guy any further now.

She had already seen how terrifying he could be.

Xu Nian was now fully absorbed in his cultivation.

Of course, he kept a vigilant mind to guard against Sun Yuxiang.

Although he felt Sun Yuxiang wouldn't dare harm him, he believed in being cautious.

Xu Nian was mentally developing his Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation.

Sword Qi whispered, Sword Intent traversed.

Even though Xu Nian sat motionless, his whole self seemed like a sharp-edged blade.

It made Sun Yuxiang's back shiver.

"This guy's comprehension level is terrifying. This Wind Attribute Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation might have already entered the second level. Even if it hasn't, it's not far from it," Sun Yuxiang mused to herself.

No wonder this guy could easily kill an Earth Immortal expert at the middle stage of Tribulation Crossing.

Not only is his True Essence extraordinarily abundant, but his level of comprehension far exceeds many Earth Immortal cultivators.

"I really don't know how this guy cultivates. Despite being under thirty years old, he possesses such a terrifying level. It's truly monstrous," Sun Yuxiang secretly cursed in her heart.

Her gaze at Xu Nian was filled with intense jealousy.

Suddenly, a thought popped into Sun Yuxiang's mind, and it startled her so much that she quickly dismissed it.

Time passed quickly; in the blink of an eye, five days had gone by.

Finally, Xu Nian and the others flew from Tianlan Star to Ning King Star.

There was no Transmission Array between Tianlan Star and Ning King Star, so they could only travel by flying boat.

Staring at the gigantic planet in front of him, which was ten times the size of Tianlan Star, Xu Nian furrowed his brows.

Looking from the Void at this planet, it appeared to be a giant ball of soil with almost no green vegetation on its surface.

Thus, the entire planet was extremely desolate and sparsely populated.

If not for the recent discovery of hidden treasures, this planet would likely remain unvisited.

"The Spiritual Energy on Ning King Star is extremely scarce, so much so that it can't even sustain vegetation. The planet is virtually lifeless; ordinary mortals can't survive here, and cultivators wouldn't want to come to this godforsaken place. So Ning King Star hasn't seen visitors for thousands of years. Within it, yellow sand fills the sky, violent winds ravage, and the environment is extremely harsh. Even a Cave Void expert could be torn to shreds," Sun Yuxiang remarked, seemingly seeing through Xu Nian's thoughts.

Xu Nian looked at Sun Yuxiang in surprise.

"You know Ning King Star so well. Have you been here before?" Xu Nian asked.

Sun Yuxiang's expression changed, realizing her slip of the tongue.

Since she was discovered, she decided not to hide it and directly responded, "I've been here, and more than once."

"What did you come here for?" Xu Nian continued to inquire.

Since this planet's Spiritual Energy is so scarce, it certainly isn't a place for seclusion.

Visiting such a planet must have a purpose unknown to others.

"That's something I can't disclose because it's my personal matter. However, I can assure you that Han Xiaoxiao and the others you're looking for are in the realm," Sun Yuxiang replied.

This time she was very straightforward, with an expression that said, 'Even if you kill me, I won't tell you.'

Xu Nian just smiled lightly and didn't press further.

Since he couldn't get anything out of her now, there was no point in pushing it; he believed he would eventually uncover Sun Yuxiang's motives.

"Let's go down!" Xu Nian waved his hand, putting the flying boat into his storage ring.

Then he transformed into a stream of light and headed toward Ning King Star below.

Sun Yuxiang said nothing and followed closely behind Xu Nian.

As soon as they entered Ning King Star's atmosphere, Xu Nian felt a terrifying gale sweep toward him.

This gust left shallow marks on his skin as it blew past.

Xu Nian was surprised, not expecting the gale to be so strong.

His skin was comparable to a top-grade Spiritual Artifact; the fact that it could leave marks on him indicated the gale's immense power.

Not to mention a Cave Void Realm, even a Unity Realm stage might struggle to resist.

As for a Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, it probably wouldn't sustain for long either.

Looking behind at Sun Yuxiang, she had already cast a Spiritual Energy Light Shield to fend off the terrifying gale.

Seeing Xu Nian endure the gale with his body, she was shocked, her mouth agape.

How thick must this guy's skin be?
