Divine King of Honour
Chapter 1917: What Makes You Qualified?
The Netherworld Lord’s sermon was a grand event held once every three hundred years in the Netherworld God Temple.
It was also the only day the Netherworld God Temple Mountain Top was open to outsiders.
"Junior Brother Xu Fenn, let’s go together. I suppose you haven’t been to the summit yet," Ye Shumin came to Xu Fenn’s cave residence and said with a smile.
"I really haven’t," Xu Nian smiled.
The rules of the Netherworld God Temple were strict; normally, they were not allowed to set foot on the summit.
Only on the day the Netherworld Lord preached would it be opened to ordinary disciples like them.
Under Ye Shumin’s lead, Xu Nian flew toward the summit.
The summit was even more spectacular than he had imagined.
There were many cave residences here as well, only these were far more imposing than he had expected.
These caves should belong to experts at God Level and above.
The moment he stepped into the summit’s range, Xu Nian sensed no fewer than a dozen Soul Power probes.
The level of these Soul Powers was at least God Level and above.
Among them there were also two or three extremely powerful Soul Powers, at least Late Stage of God.
"Looks like the security for this sermon is especially tight. These God-level Experts will probably examine every single person carefully," Xu Nian muttered in his heart.
He had long known there were many experts in the Netherworld God Temple, but when so many powerful Soul Powers actually fell on him, Xu Nian was still incomparably shocked inside.
"Whoosh!" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Soon, they landed on the summit.
At this moment, hundreds of people had already gathered on the summit.
These people were basically all Divine-level and above in cultivation, and there were quite a few God-level Experts among them.
"So this is the strongest force in the Netherworld? If not for the restrictions of the laws, I’m afraid these experts would be enough to flatten the Immortal, Demon, and Devil World," Xu Nian thought to himself.
Of course, the experts of the Netherworld God Temple were not all here. It was said the Netherworld God Temple also had experts at the Daluo God Level, though Xu Nian did not see them at the moment.
Judging from the situation, they probably would not easily show themselves.
"Let’s sit here." Ye Shumin pointed at a spot in the central area of the plaza.
This place was neither too far forward nor too far back.
These seats were all tacitly arranged according to strength.
Some weaker experts didn’t dare casually step into the front seats, since they could easily be driven off by stronger latecomers, which would be humiliating.
So those who could sit here were basically all at the Peak of Divine level.
"Alright." Xu Nian did not refuse.
With his current strength, those at the Peak of Divine level were no match for him at all.
Even against an Early Stage of God expert, he still dared to fight.
But he didn’t want to attract too much attention yet, since on the surface his cultivation was still only at Nether Emperor Perfection.
Xu Nian was also holding a trace of anticipation for this sermon.
Perhaps this sermon might help him break through the Heavenly Dao.
"What level has the Netherworld Lord actually reached?" Xu Nian asked curiously.
"The Netherworld Lord, my lord? As early as a hundred thousand years ago, she had already reached the peak of the Luo God Heavenly Dao. By now she’s probably stepped into the Ten Thousand Dao Level," Ye Shumin said with a look of emotion.
Ten Thousand Dao Level?
Xu Nian was also utterly shocked.
Insight Cultivation was divided into seven levels: Great Tao, Heavenly Dao, Luo God Heavenly Dao, Ten Thousand Dao, Order, Heavenly Destiny Order, and Chaos Order.
With Xu Nian’s current level of insight, he was only at the peak of Great Tao.
There were still six whole realms waiting for him beyond that.
In other words, with his current cultivation, he was still at the very bottom tier of the Divine World.
No wonder the Netherworld Lord could rule a whole realm; he hadn’t expected her to have already reached the Ten Thousand Dao Level.
This level was a realm Xu Nian wouldn’t even dare to imagine.
As for his Master, Emperor Ye Tian, Xu Nian had also asked her what level she had reached.
Emperor Ye Tian hadn’t said it outright, but Xu Nian vaguely gleaned that she had once reached the level of Heavenly Destiny Order.
It was just that her soul had been damaged, and many of her insights had to be re-cultivated from scratch.
"For this sermon, will the Netherworld Lord’s avatar really descend?" Xu Nian asked.
"It should. But the method of descent is different every time. Sometimes it’s an Illusory God Dharma, sometimes a Soul Avatar descends directly. I don’t know what it’ll be this time," Ye Shumin said.
Xu Nian fell into thought.
If it was an Illusory God Dharma descending, then it wasn’t truly the Netherworld Lord herself, only a phantom condensed from Soul Power.
In that case, it would be even harder for Xu Nian to speak with the Netherworld Lord.
If a Soul Avatar descended, then he might still have a sliver of chance.
"Brat, get lost."
Just as Xu Nian was deep in thought, a burly man walked over.
This burly man was extremely robust, clad in black Battle Armor, his aura full and fierce. Clearly, he had already reached the Peak of Divine level.
His words immediately drew a lot of attention.
For a moment, everyone watched Xu Nian with the attitude of watching a show.
Xu Nian frowned and looked around, discovering that there were still many seats available in this central area.
Yet this big man just had to pick his spot. It was obvious he was here to cause trouble.
"Li Kunn, there are plenty of seats around. Don’t make trouble," Ye Shumin spoke out immediately.
Others might not know Xu Nian’s strength, but she had some understanding.
Since she’d dared to bring Xu Nian to this spot, it naturally meant he had the strength for it.
"Hmph, Ye Shumin, I’m teaching the newbie the rules. What are you sticking your nose in for?" Li Kunn sneered.
"Brat, first time here, right? Hasn’t anyone told you the rules here?" Li Kunn turned and looked at Xu Nian.
"What rules?" Xu Nian asked with a faint smile.
"Don’t you know the seats here are arranged according to strength? This isn’t a place you can sit," Li Kunn sneered.
"Then what strength is required to sit here?" Xu Nian still asked with a smile.
Li Kunn narrowed his eyes. What a clueless brat.
This guy was clearly picking a fight with him.
"Very simple. Unless you have the strength to beat me, you can obediently roll to the back," Li Kunn said with a cold smile.
"Li Kunn, you’ve gone too far," Ye Shumin said angrily.
"Ye Shumin, you’re protecting this pretty boy so much. Don’t tell me he’s your little lover?" Li Kunn said with a light chuckle.
"You..." Ye Shumin was just about to refute him.
But was pulled back by Xu Nian.
"Ye, can we fight here?" Xu Nian asked.
"We can, as long as you don’t kill anyone!" Ye Shumin said.
Hearing this, Xu Nian immediately smiled.
"As long as we can fight. You just said that as long as I beat you, I’m qualified to sit here. Then let’s do it." Xu Nian looked at Li Kunn calmly.
Li Kunn’s eyes turned cold at his words.
This brat actually dared to fight him.
Many people around also revealed looks of surprise.
A Nether Emperor dared to challenge the Peak of Divine level?
For a time, even those God-level Experts looked over at Xu Nian with curiosity.
