As Xu Nian’s absorption ended, Mu Yuqing also completed her absorption.

Both of their souls had greatly ascended.

"I actually broke through to the Middle-level God Realm," Mu Yuqing said joyfully in her heart.

Just now, her Soul Realm had experienced a significant breakthrough.

Because she was a Netherworld Practitioner, she cultivated Soul Power by nature, so with her soul’s breakthrough, her cultivation also progressed.

As for Xu Nian, the soul power of his three avatars also reached the Perfect Level.

And they seemed to be stronger than the usual Perfect Level.

This, for him, was undoubtedly a tremendous breakthrough.

"This Sealing God Platform is truly inconceivable, my soul origin actually turned golden," Xu Nian said in surprise.

"Huh? Golden?" Mu Yuqing was shocked. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

Her soul origin had only turned golden after reaching Divine Level.

Xu Nian had merely achieved Perfect Level, yet it had already turned golden?

"What’s wrong with the soul origin turning golden?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Do you know what it means for the soul origin to turn golden?" Mu Yuqing asked.

Xu Nian shook his head.

"Generally, soul origins appear in five colors, which are typically below Divine Level. When one reaches Divine Level and merges with Godhood, the quality of the soul origin undergoes a monumental change, and it becomes golden," Mu Yuqing explained.

"You’re saying my soul origin has reached the Divine Level?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"No, it’s not that your soul origin’s power has reached Divine Level, rather the quality of your soul origin has attained Divine Level," Mu Yuqing replied.

"Is there a difference?" Xu Nian inquired.

"Yes, indeed. To be precise, you now only possess the quality of a Divine-level soul, but the Soul Power is restricted to Soul Perfection because there is no Godhood. Only when your soul origin merges with Godhood will your soul origin be truly elevated to Divine Level," Mu Yuqing responded.

"I see, but having just the quality at Divine Level seems to have no effect," Xu Nian couldn’t help but shake his head.

"It does, it has a significant effect," Mu Yuqing continued.

"The enhancement of your soul origin quality means you can comprehend Tao and potentially master Elemental Power," Mu Yuqing said.

"Master Tao?" Xu Nian was suddenly startled.

This would mean that the boundary between Divine Level and Immortal Emperor is already eliminated concerning the laws?

This is an enormous advantage.

If he could comprehend Tao at the Immortal Emperor Level, wouldn’t it provide immense help in Crossing Heavenly Tribulation?

Thinking of this, Xu Nian felt increasingly excited.

"Indeed, in the history of the Divine World, only two individuals have been able to comprehend Tao at the Immortal Emperor Level, and now you have the chance to become the third. Such a genius, even in the Divine World, would be sought after by various powers," Mu Yuqing replied.

Xu Nian felt increasingly expectant.

If he could master Elemental Power at the Immortal Emperor Level, even using an Immortal Emperor to kill a Divine would be no problem.

To think the baptism of the Sealing God Platform would bring such an immense benefit.

"I now realize you are truly favored by the heavens, possessing three great avatars, receiving the baptism of the Law Heavenly Pool, and your soul quality elevating to Divine Level—opportunities others could not attain in a lifetime you possess," Mu Yuqing couldn’t help but sigh.

Xu Nian merely smiled.

But in his eyes, there was a thoughtful expression.

Currently, his Wind Attribute and Earth Attribute were only at the Ninth Level Realm, one step away from Law Perfection.

As for Fire Attribute and Water Attribute?

They’re even farther from it.

To reach the realm of Tao, it’s unlikely to happen quickly.

However, since the heavens gave him this chance, how could he miss it?

Previously pondering whether to break through to Divine Level in the Netherworld, Xu Nian now suddenly understood.

No breakthrough!

Because once he does, though he could remain in the Netherworld, the Immortal Realm would be completely inaccessible.

He couldn’t venture into the Netherworld King’s Tomb.

Now it’s clear he can fully master Tao in the Immortal Emperor Realm.

Still, he could fearlessly face Divine-level experts.

With the issue resolved, Xu Nian felt utterly relaxed.

"Shall we continue forward?" Xu Nian asked.

He’s increasingly aware that the gorge isn’t simple.

There’s a Law Heavenly Pool, a Sealing God Platform; who knows what’s ahead?

But recalling the terrifying killing intent before, Xu Nian was conscious that strong danger likely lurked ahead.

Indeed, they hadn’t walked for long.

Xu Nian and the others then saw a young man sitting cross-legged ahead.

The young man emitted a supremely powerful Divine-level aura.

"Is it you?"

Mu Yuqing immediately showed a look of surprise.

Evidently, he recognized this young man before him.

Xu Nian revealed a trace of astonishment.

Unexpectedly, someone else was in the gorge.

"Mu Yuqing, I always guessed you’d come here, so I arrived first to wait for you," the young man said with a cold smile.

He then turned his gaze toward Xu Nian, looked him up and down, and revealed a disdainful expression.

"Is this the one you chose? Seems his strength is quite rubbish," the young man continued with a cold smile.

"Chosen?" Xu Nian furrowed his brow and looked at Mu Yuqing.

The latter seemed somewhat hesitant to speak.

Xu Nian immediately understood that Mu Yuqing appeared to be hiding something from him.

"Seems you don’t know that from the start, you came here because Mu Yuqing deliberately led you, perhaps she never told you what’s truly deep within this gorge?" the young man coldly laughed.

Looking at Xu Nian was as if looking at a fool.

Xu Nian’s brow furrowed tightly.

Mu Yuqing appeared mildly panicked: "Xu Fenn, don’t listen to his nonsense. I did lead you here deliberately, but I didn’t intend to harm you."

Xu Nian gazed at Mu Yuqing, slightly skeptical of whether he was truthful.

Upon careful reflection, it was because Mu Yuqing was poisoned that he came to the cliff to collect medicine for her.

And because of collecting medicine, he fell into this gorge.

Everything seemed logical.

If Mu Yuqing truly lured him here on purpose, then her scheming is indeed deep.

"What’s in the depths of this gorge?" Xu Nian asked.

"I... I don’t know either," Mu Yuqing shook her head and said.

"Haha, Mu Yuqing, you’re quite good at pretending. You claim not to know what’s in the depths of this gorge? Kid, don’t be fooled by appearances," the young man smiled mischievously.

Xu Nian said nothing, his expression showing deep thought.

Now, he trusted no one.

Mu Yuqing brought him here with definite motives.

As for what those motives were, that was unknown.

However, with Mu Yuqing withholding truth, she wasn’t worthy of trust.

"Liu Yu, you came here not for that thing? Have the guts to fight fair; using tricks like these is pathetic," Mu Yuqing glared at the young man angrily.

Directly, she wielded a long sword, charging toward the young man.
