Divine King of Honour

Not long after the battle at the Artifact Refining Sect,

something rather bizarre took place in East Field County.

This incident soon spread throughout the entire Imperial Capital,

immediately causing a huge commotion.

In East Field County, ruins of an Ancient Cultivation Sect had emerged.

It was said that these ruins were accidentally discovered by three youths of Battle Sect Level.

These three young men accidentally found nearly a hundred Spirit Stones and several Low Grade Spiritual Artifacts at one of the sites.

Moreover, they only reached the outskirts of the ruins and did not delve deeper.

Originally, these three youths just intended to inform the Clan Leader of their families.

But unexpectedly, the news leaked out.

Eventually, an overwhelming number of formidable individuals arrived at their doorstep, demanding to know the whereabouts of the relics.

Under immense pressure, that family ultimately disclosed information about the ruins.

However, even after doing so, the family was still exterminated.

As the saying goes, "An innocent man bears the blame for the possession of treasure," and that was exactly the case.

The leak about the Ancient Spirit Sect naturally attracted attention from many powers.

This Sect was not merely a Sect like the Artifact Refining Sect; it had existed before the Immortal enacted the heavenly forbiddance.

Time had merely obscured this Sect from sight.

But for the cultivators of Tianhen Continent,

the existence of such an Ancient Spirit Sect was fatally alluring.

After all, it was a place that nurtured cultivators.

Should anyone secure a treasure,

they may very well soar to the heavens.

Thus, cultivators from across the entire empire surged towards East Field County,

all hoping to try their luck.

Inside the hall of the Artifact Refining Sect,

Xu Nian was currently standing with Xu Yu and others.

"Elder, you want to go to East Field County?" the Great Elder asked.

"Yes, now that my cultivation level has reached the realm of a Two-star Emperor, if I continue to cultivate at the normal pace, it would be far too slow. I'd also like to see this Ancient Spirit Sect and try my luck there," Xu Nian said with a smile.

That was right, his Spiritual Body had already reached the Two-star Emperor Realm.

Achieving a breakthrough would require a long period of accumulation.

But what Xu Nian lacked was time.

He knew it wouldn't be long before

he would have to face a true battle with the Imperial Family.

Hence, he must quickly enhance his cultivation level.

The emergence of the Ancient Spirit Sect

seemed like the perfect opportunity.

And so, he decided to make a trip to East Field County.

"I'll go with you, big brother," Xu Yu and Black Wind said in unison.

"And me, Lao Niu. I want to go too," the Bull Demon King added.

Xu Nian smiled and nodded.

"Alright, you guys will come with me," Xu Nian said.

Hearing this, Xu Yu, Black Wind, and the Bull Demon King immediately showed delight.

Apparently, during the recent battle of the Artifact Refining Sect,

they had not had the opportunity to fight, which had left them itching for action.

This journey was a perfect chance for them to relieve that itch.

If they could enjoy a good fight, that would be even better.

Xu Nian smiled helplessly, then turned to Ice Blue and others, "Ice Blue, you come with me too. White Flood Dragon King, you stay and continue to guard the Artifact Refining Sect."

"Yes!"

Ice Blue and the White Flood Dragon King replied at the same time.

With the White Flood Dragon King guarding the Artifact Refining Sect,

Xu Nian believed no one would dare to offend it.

"Master, may I join you as well?"

Just at that moment, Black Hou spoke up.

Xu Nian turned his head to look at Black Hou.

Now Black Hou, just like Xu Yu and the rest, had broken through to the One-star Demon Emperor Realm.

After several days of recuperation, his injuries had also healed a great deal.

In terms of combat strength, his power was almost on par with that of the Bull Demon King.

He was, however, a notch below Black Wind and Xu Yu.

"Alright, then you shall follow along," Xu Nian agreed.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's consent,

A delighted expression appeared on Black Hou's face.

After some brief instructions,

Xu Nian and his party of six Emperor-level strong men flew towards the direction of East Field County.

Of course, if one were to count the Netherworld King within Xu Nian's storage ring,

That would make seven Battle Emperor Level strong men.

But the existence of the Netherworld King was a bit too staggering.

Xu Nian did not want him to reveal himself easily.

However, what Xu Nian didn't know was that at the time of their departure,

On a pavilion of the Artifact Refining Sect, stood two breathtakingly beautiful women.

Both women looked towards the direction Xu Nian was departing, their eyes filled with a touch of loss.

"Sister, do you think we will ever see him again?" Yann Xi asked.

Her voice carried a tinge of melancholy.

"I'm afraid it's unlikely, little sister. He is destined to be from a different world than ours. Let's just forget about him," Yann Hong sighed.

Upon hearing this, Yann Xi's expression grew even more downcast.

She couldn't quite understand.

Why was there such a large gap between two people sometimes?

Seeing Yann Xi's dejected look, Yann Hong firmly embraced her.

Looking in the direction Xu Nian was leaving, her eyes also filled with a sense of loss.

...

Meanwhile, on the East Sea coast,

There were two men walking on the waves right now.

The surging sea beneath their feet was as steady as flat ground.

The leader was a young man,

Adorned in luxurious clothing and wearing an exquisite crown.

Handsome in appearance, his lips were perpetually curled in a light smile.

That disregard-for-all gaze gave him an unruly air.

Following behind him was an old man.

This elder's bearing was simple, his body slightly hunched, with grey hair.

His eyes, however, were sharp.

"Young Master, this is the Tianhen Continent, a sealed and Lost Land," the elder spoke, standing beside the young man.

"It's quite barren. The thinness of this Spiritual Energy could practically be described as desolate. Elder Yuu, has your cultivation been suppressed?" The young man responded nonchalantly, not bothering to turn his head.

"Indeed. As soon as we entered the Forbidden Sea, my cultivation was suppressed to below the Zifu Realm. Although I'm only at the Supreme Battle Emperor Level, none under Zifu are my match," the elder said.

Hearing the elder's words, a light smile spread across the young man's face.

"Doesn't that mean you are invincible on this continent?" the young man said with a laugh.

"In theory, yes. However, Young Master, it would be wise to be cautious. After all, the lord has instructed that this continent isn't as simple as it seems on the surface," the hoarse voice of the elder sounded once again.

The young man still wore a dismissive expression.

"The young master indeed wishes to have a good look at this continent and its beauties. Back on the Spirit Continent, the old man was too strict, wouldn't let me do anything. Since I'm here, I shall enjoy myself to the fullest," the young man said scornfully.

A defiant arrogant smile flickered in his eyes.

With that, he took the lead and swept towards the land.

The elder, however, shook his head.

Their young master was already twenty-four, yet he still couldn't shake off this playful nature.

He had no idea when he would be able to stand on his own.

But considering there wasn't much of a threat on this continent,

The elder didn't want to worry too much and decided to let the young master have his fun.
