Divine King of Honour

After obtaining the Tao Trace Fruit, Liu Bai Ru left the rear mountain to begin closed-door healing.

Xu Nian, on the other hand, continued to stay at the peak of the rear mountain, but his mind entered the Chaos Divine Palace.

Inside the Chaos Divine Palace.

The ethereal image of Xu Nian's soul appeared before the Dao Tian Rat.

"Senior Dao Tian Rat, you previously mentioned that 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' is composed of three cultivation techniques. What do you mean by that? Why do I feel that this 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' is a complete cultivation technique?" Xu Nian asked.

Back then, he had already shown 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' to the Emperor Ye Tian, even Emperor Ye Tian said it was complete, so why now does Dao Tian Rat tell him that what he's been cultivating is just the upper part, and there are middle and lower parts as well?

Hearing this, Dao Tian Rat also smiled.

"Actually, I was going to tell you sooner or later — just that your current strength isn't enough, so I haven't said anything. Originally, I planned to wait until you stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm before discussing it. Now that you have already encountered this map, I don't mind telling you earlier," Dao Tian Rat said with a smile.

Xu Nian said nothing, just quietly listened.

Dao Tian Rat organized his thoughts and said, "'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' indeed comprises three parts. What you're cultivating is merely the upper part. The reason you perceive it as a complete cultivation technique is because it itself is complete; it's just the foundational piece within the true 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' cultivation techniques."

"In other words, even if you keep cultivating with the upper part alone, you won't encounter any issues; you can still advance to the God Emperor Realm. But if you seek further breakthroughs, it becomes almost impossible. However, the true 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' is different; it will allow you to reach an unprecedented realm."

"An unprecedented realm?" Xu Nian showed a surprised expression.

The God Emperor is already the highest existence, could there be a higher realm than that?

"Senior means that to reach a higher realm, one must cultivate both the middle and lower parts of this 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus'? Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Exactly, the middle and lower parts of 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' embody its true profound argumentation. Their essence is something nobody has comprehended since ancient times, and it represents your Master's lifelong efforts," Dao Tian Rat commented with emotion.

Master Green Emperor's lifelong efforts?

Xu Nian was astonished in his heart.

The Green Emperor, even among God Emperors, stood as a supreme being, deemed a legendary figure.

His lifelong efforts could stir even some God Emperors.

"Then why didn't Master leave the remaining cultivation techniques in the Chaos Divine Palace, instead of creating such a fragmented map?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"Your master did say that those who can cultivate the true 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' must have their own destiny; those without such fate could never find it. That's why your master split the technique into three parts. The first part was widely disseminated, while the second part was left as a map for the destined to find. As for the third part, even I do not know where it is; it could be in the Immortal Realm, the Divine World, or elsewhere," answered Dao Tian Rat.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian felt speechless, wondering if his master had to make things so complicated.

Does it mean even if he cultivated the second part, he might not find the third?

"You don't need to think about the third part yet; focus on finding the second part. Once you cultivate the second part, you'll experience a transformation," said Dao Tian Rat.

Xu Nian was stunned; he was already unparalleled.

If another transformation occurred, wouldn't that be even more incredible?

"There are four pieces of this map in total. You've already obtained three pieces. Once you find the remaining piece, you'll know the location of the middle cultivation technique," Dao Tian Rat stated.

"Could it be that the fourth piece of the map was destroyed?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Impossible, the map was made from God Emperor level Divine Dragon Skin. Unless a God Emperor level powerhouse intervened, it couldn't be damaged," Dao Tian Rat replied.

Xu Nian was taken aback. Made from God Emperor level Divine Dragon Skin — just how terrifying was the Green Emperor Master? Did he really slaughter a God Emperor level Divine Dragon?

"Alright, I've told you everything that I can; there are still many things you don't know. I can only inform you once you're strong enough," Dao Tian Rat concluded.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian stopped pondering further and withdrew his mind from the Chaos Divine Palace.

He had reached this point today, not only relying on the assistance of Emperor Ye Tian and others.

More importantly, it was due to 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' and 'Divine Demon Refining Body Technique,' these two cultivation techniques.

Now to learn 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus' is merely a foundational cultivation technique — how could that not astonish him.

Thinking of the incredible qualities of 'Dan Sea Species Green Lotus,' his anticipation for the remaining two cultivation techniques grew even stronger.

"Phew!"

He took a deep breath, gazing at the swirling fog over the mountain ranges.

The determination in Xu Nian's red pupils gleamed with resolve.

He must become a strong figure to protect those he wished to protect.

This world was far more complex and vast than he imagined.

His path of cultivation was still long, but the heart of a strong figure was necessary.

Only by continually growing stronger could he tread any unknown dangers underfoot.

Xu Nian did not leave; instead, he sat down cross-legged on the mountain peak.

He did nothing, merely dazed off.

His mind wandered along with the ever-shifting fog.

Like this, Xu Nian remained in a daze for a full two days and nights.

However, the gains were significant; his soul level had directly advanced from Early Stage Earth Immortal to Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

At this point, Xu Nian also sensed a bottleneck.

If he wanted a higher increase in his soul level, he would need to refine the Mud Ball Palace and reshape his mind.

But to reshape his mind now would be a bit premature; at least he would need to break through the Earth Immortal Realm first.

"It's time to descend the mountain, I should also prepare to head to Guihai Star," Xu Nian thought to himself, starting down the mountain.

Despite being lost in thought for an entire two days and nights, he felt extremely refreshed.

This kind of spiritual cultivation was something rare and serendipitous.

When Xu Nian descended from the rear mountain and arrived at the front courtyard, he found that Liu Bai Ru and others were already at the plaza.

At this moment, Liu Bai Ru was clearly different from before. Not only had her injuries mostly healed, but her cultivation had returned to its former state, and even her complexion was much more ruddy.

Aside from her, Shi Guangxu and the Third Elder were also on the plaza.

This time, the Third Elder was accompanying them to Guihai Star, while the remaining three elders stayed in the sect to oversee matters.

"Huh? Your soul level improved?" Liu Bai Ru looked at Xu Nian with surprise.

In just two short days apart, Xu Nian's soul level had risen by one realm; what kind of cultivation speed was this?

"I had some insight, so I accidentally broke through," Xu Nian nodded.

Liu Bai Ru was surprised; how could others' rare insights seem as simple as drinking water to him?

"Let's go!" Liu Bai Ru said, no longer overthinking it.

Xu Nian nodded, his mind shifted, and his appearance transformed into that of an ordinary young man.

Shi Guangxu naturally followed suit, changing his appearance.

After seeing the two change their appearances, Liu Bai Ru didn't hesitate and directly stepped into the prepared transmission array in the plaza.

"Buzz!"

The transmission array activated, and in the next moment, Xu Nian and his group vanished from the plaza.
