Chapter 1898: B-level Task
"What method?" Xu Nian hurriedly asked.
"Every three hundred years, the Netherworld Lord comes to the Netherworld God Temple to give a lecture. However, it is not his true form, but his will that descends. At that time, you can take this opportunity to find a way to talk with the Netherworld Lord," Ye Shumin said.
"Lecture?" Xu Nian’s eyes suddenly lit up.
If the Netherworld Lord indeed gives a lecture, even if it’s not his true form, as long as he can talk to him and hand over the item, the task would be considered complete.
"How long until the next lecture?" Xu Nian asked urgently.
"You’re in luck, there’s still ten years," Ye Shumin responded.
"Ten years? That’s not too long." Xu Nian nodded.
"Thank you, Sister Ye. If you find those three materials, please inform me." Xu Nian smiled at Ye Shumin.
"Alright, I will definitely inform you," Ye Shumin smiled.
After chatting with Ye Shumin for a few more moments, Xu Nian went back to his cave.
Upon entering the cave, Xu Nian immediately entered the Chaos Divine Palace to comprehend the true intent of the Great Tao.
His true self focused on comprehending the Wind Attribute Tao True Intent, while the Divine Demon Avatar studied the Soil Attribute Tao True Intent.
Meanwhile, the Nine Infant Avatar simultaneously studied the Water Attribute Dao Truth and Fire Attribute Dao Truth.
As for the spatial attribute Great Tao True Intent, Xu Nian decided to hold off on it.
Because the spatial attribute Great Tao True Intent is genuinely difficult to comprehend.
However, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar wasn’t idle either, continuing to comprehend, albeit it couldn’t be done in a short time.
And so, five years passed in the blink of an eye.
While in the Chaos Divine Palace, a full five thousand years passed.
During these five thousand years, Xu Nian could be said to have made tremendous progress. 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
"Buzz!"
The Soul Avatar appeared in the cave.
At this moment, although Xu Nian’s cultivation was still at the Nether Emperor level, his overall demeanor was much more restrained.
Standing there, he exuded a deep and unfathomable aura.
"I didn’t realize so much time had passed!" Xu Nian sensed the changes in his body, showing an expression of surprise.
Five thousand years?
He had never cultivated for such a long time before.
It’s undeniable that the Chaos Divine Palace is truly formidable, to have a thousandfold difference in the flow of time.
If Ye Shumin hadn’t sent him a message, he wouldn’t even have thought about coming out, let alone cultivating for ten thousand years inside.
After a brief adjustment, Xu Nian flew toward the Treasure Pavilion.
Just now, he received a message from Ye Shumin.
She said there was news about the Glazed Jade, instructing Xu Nian to come and take a look.
Of course, Xu Nian couldn’t miss this opportunity, so he emerged from seclusion and headed to the Treasure Pavilion.
Upon reaching the Treasure Pavilion, Xu Nian quickly spotted Ye Shumin.
"Sister Ye, is there really news about the Glazed Jade?" Xu Nian approached with a smile and asked.
But Ye Shumin looked at Xu Nian with a surprised expression.
"Huh, why do I feel you’ve changed so much, yet can’t see where?" Ye Shumin asked, puzzled.
"I might have made some breakthroughs recently," Xu Nian said with a smile.
Ye Shumin nodded, not probing further.
"Indeed, there’s news about the Glazed Jade, but not in the Treasure Pavilion. It’s in a place called Hell Ruins, which I recorded during a task with some partners. The task is extremely dangerous, likely a matter of life and death, so I wanted to ask if you’d be willing to join?" Ye Shumin asked Xu Nian seriously.
Xu Nian could sense her emotions, clearly showing this task was truly perilous.
"Sister Ye, how dangerous is it?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"This time, we are undertaking a B-level task. Completing such a task requires the participation of at least two God-level experts, and can be supplemented with five Divine-level ones. Currently, two God-level experts are found, along with three Divine-level ones, all of whom are at the Peak of Divine level. As for the fifth person, I intend to bring you along, but ultimately it’s your decision," Ye Shumin explained.
B-level task?
Xu Nian was startled.
He had some understanding of the tasks in the Netherworld God Temple.
Generally, tasks are categorized into A, B, C, and D levels, with A-level tasks being the highest, usually requiring Daluo God Level Experts to participate.
B-level tasks require God-level experts, and if they are at the Early Level of God, it necessitates more than two God-level experts.
Even then, the success rate of B-level tasks remains about thirty percent.
Though completed, they often come with significant casualties.
So when Ye Shumin mentioned a B-level task, Xu Nian understood the gravity of the situation.
Still, he could risk it for the Glazed Jade.
After all, he wanted to quickly gather materials for a God-level Puppet.
Moreover, he had to undertake a task sometime, and Ye Shumin’s invitation perfectly aligned with his ten-year task.
"Okay, I’ll join. What is the specific nature of this task?" Xu Nian asked, intrigued.
"Here’s the task content; take a look." Ye Shumin tossed a Jade Scroll to Xu Nian.
Upon examining it, Xu Nian’s expression immediately reflected surprise.
"A Hell Fragmented World? The cave of a Peak of God level expert?" Xu Nian showed an expression of astonishment.
"Indeed, this person is not a typical Peak of God level expert. Apparently, he was renowned in ancient times, having slain countless beings of the same level. An exceedingly formidable character. His cave was his resting place; supposedly his legacy remains inside. Of course, strong restrictions guard his cave. Entering won’t be easy, as even minor mistakes could lead to destruction. A God-level expert already perished there," Ye Shumin explained.
Xu Nian displayed an expression of surprise.
But he also noted that the Jade Scroll mentioned this God-level expert had acquired the Glazed Jade while alive.
Though uncertain if the Glazed Jade is within the cave, or even inside at all, its mention is already promising for Xu Nian.
Because Emperor Ye Tian once mentioned that the items he sought were exceptionally rare, even in the Divine World.
"Alright, I understand. When does Sister Ye intend for us to set off?" Xu Nian asked.
"In three days, gathering at the plaza at the foot of the mountain," Ye Shumin said.
"Alright, I’ll be there on time in three days." Xu Nian nodded.
Ye Shumin nodded, saying no more.
She wasn’t sure if including Xu Nian, a Nether Emperor, was right or wrong.
Yet her intuition told her that the present Xu Nian wasn’t as simple as he seemed on the surface.
...
Three days later, Xu Nian arrived at the plaza as promised.
Ye Shumin had also arrived, along with two Peak of Divine-level experts.
To Xu Nian’s surprise, he recognized one of them.
And upon noticing him, the person’s gaze immediately became piercing.
No doubt, this person was Tan Long.
