Divine King of Honour

Next, after Elder Yu Mo distributed three Pathfinding Talismans, he led his group of people straight into the Hell Sea.

Subsequently, small teams formed by other factions also followed them directly into the Hell Sea.

In the end, only Xu Nian and his group of eight remained.

Xu Nian stood amidst the crowd, looking at the seal in his hand.

Watching the floating light ball ahead, he immediately understood how the Pathfinding Talisman worked.

Evidently, the light ball seal in front was responsible for leading the way, while the seal in their hands received the light ball's signal, guiding them in the correct direction.

This way, even if their group of eight got separated, they could quickly gather together.

Furthermore, they could sense each other's positions through the seals.

Xu Nian thought there were advantages and disadvantages to this.

The advantage is that they can prevent getting lost and provide timely rescue.

The disadvantage lies within the team, especially theirs.

The Mountain Sea Sect clearly has great animosity with them, and now they've willingly joined their team; naturally, cooperation would be difficult.

It's likely they'll try to trip them up, and the seals would make it easier for them to do so.

"Since we are a team now, why don't you two put aside your grudges and face this challenge together?" Tianbao Pavilion Master said with a smile as he approached.

He naturally knew about the feud between the Mountain Sea Sect and Tiande Sect.

And the Mountain Sea Sect joining them in a team clearly showed the influence of the Guihai Family and the Mu Residence.

Tianbao Pavilion clearly didn't want to sit on this leaky ship either, but he had no choice but to accept the arrangement.

"I have no problem with that, Senior Li. We all know the dangers of the Hell Sea; infighting now would be courting disaster," Lin Shanhai chuckled.

Liu Bai Ru snorted mockingly, clearly finding Lin Shanhai's words insincere.

However, she didn't protest openly, for now was not the time for infighting.

"Alright, with Master Lin's words, I am assured," Li Tiangang nodded with a smile.

He then turned to Liu Bai Ru and asked with a smile, "Master Liu, what do you think?"

Liu Bai Ru hesitated for a moment, then said, "I have no problem, as long as someone doesn't sabotage us secretly. I can temporarily set aside my resentment, but if someone's up to no good, don't blame me for cutting them down."

While speaking, Liu Bai Ru looked coldly at Lin Shanhai.

Since taking Xu Nian's pill, her cultivation had reached the Peak of Middle Stage Earth Immortal, just one step away from Late Stage Earth Immortal.

And the pill's power hadn't been fully exhausted yet. Once absorbed completely, she could surely break through successfully.

However, Liu Bai Ru hadn't planned to break through immediately because she knew if she did, Lin Shanhai would be on guard.

By then, it would be even harder to make a move.

This is also why she agreed to join forces with Lin Shanhai.

Xu Nian naturally understood this too and agreed with Liu Bai Ru's strategy.

It seemed that Liu Bai Ru could become the Sect Leader not just by strength, but also by wits.

Seeing Liu Bai Ru's agreement, Tianbao Pavilion Master Lin Tiangang showed a pleased smile.

Although Lin Shanhai was surprised by Liu Bai Ru's straightforward acceptance, he didn't think too much about it. After all, right now, they could only sail together in the same boat.

"Now that everything is clear, I hope you two adhere to your promises and also restrain your disciples. If anyone dares to break their word, don't blame me, Li Tiangang, for being unkind. As for our Tianbao Pavilion, the two of you should be able to trust us," Li Tiangang declared domineeringly.

As he spoke, he exuded the imposing aura of a Late Stage Earth Immortal.

Xu Nian immediately felt a strong pressure, and Shi Guangxu turned pale, secretly cursing the old man a thousand times over.

Liu Bai Ru and Lin Shanhai were both taken aback too; Li Tiangang's strength was indeed formidable.

Even if the two of them teamed up, they likely wouldn't be his match.

After all, Late Stage Earth Immortals begin tempering their Mud Ball Palace, meaning their soul power reaches a leap in level.

Some powerful Late Stage Earth Immortals can even instantly kill someone at the Peak of Middle Stage Earth Immortal.

This is the difference in soul power.

"Alright, since we've reached an agreement, let's enter the Hell Sea together. The Hell Sea is full of fierce beasts and many unknown dangers, so don't act rashly if we encounter danger," Li Tiangang instructed.

"Understood!" Li Anshan and Mei Ji both nodded.

Liu Bai Ru and the others nodded too.

The Hell Sea is extremely perilous, and a single mistake could cost lives.

"Let's go!"

At Li Tiangang's command, he activated the Light Ball Seal.

The Light Ball Seal shot out instantly.

Xu Nian immediately felt the pull from the seal in his hand.

Everyone followed the direction the Light Ball Seal flew.

Soon they arrived within the scope of the Hell Sea. Upon entering, Xu Nian felt as if he had stepped into another world.

The surroundings were filled with a violent energy, and this energy was peculiar.

This energy appeared gray, making everything around them look dim, and they could only see within a ten-meter range with the naked eye.

Moreover, this violent energy even strongly hindered soul power.

With Xu Nian's soul power, he could only observe within a hundred-meter range.

Now he finally understood why it was said that one could get lost in the Hell Sea.

In this hazy ocean, they were like blind people; without guidance, it was easy to lose their way.

As for this energy, Xu Nian tried using his talent divine ability, Swallowing Heaven and Earth.

It could be devoured, but couldn't be converted into spiritual energy, instead forming a gray thread-like energy within him.

This energy was frightening and extremely strong.

"I don't know what kind of energy this is, even Swallowing Heaven and Earth can't convert it," Xu Nian thought to himself in amazement.

The Undying Devouring Sky Beast cultivates not the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus, but the innate divine ability of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.

So, with this gray energy, he could only devour it without truly absorbing it.

"Everyone, stay close. This is just the outskirts of the Hell Sea, with no fierce beasts for now, but we will inevitably encounter them ahead. By then, follow my commands," Li Tiangang transmitted his voice.

Everyone around nodded.

They too could feel the deadly atmosphere of the Hell Sea because they couldn't absorb this energy at all.

Once absorbed, a person would fall into madness, turning into a humanoid fierce beast.

Therefore, Xu Nian and his group of eight pressed on towards the depths of the Hell Sea.

But the peace didn't last long; soon, they encountered trouble.

Indeed, they encountered fierce beasts.

Xu Nian gazed at the strange creatures ahead, a look of astonishment on his face.

"Are these the fierce beasts?"
