Chapter 1919: Chapter 1919: Netherworld Lord

In the subsequent time, no disturbances occurred.

After all, Xu Nian was now seated beside a Daluo God Strong person.

With a Daluo God Strong person present, no one dared to trouble Xu Nian anymore.

Of course, Xu Nian sitting in the front row attracted quite a bit of attention.

Initially, Xu Nian was not accustomed to it, but he quickly became calm and composed.

Then he patiently waited.

"Buzz!"

After Xu Nian and the others had waited for a long while, a sound like an ancient resounding bell finally echoed.

Next, a harmonious celestial music floated in.

Heaven and earth’s energy continuously converged on the peak.

Brilliant lights shone, and divine power surged.

"Has it begun?" Xu Nian, witnessing this scene, felt a tinge of anticipation in his heart.

Other Divine-level Experts also sat upright, appearing solemn and prepared.

Even the Daluo God Level Experts showed a serious expression.

Observing this, Xu Nian knew that the Netherworld Lord was about to descend.

Sure enough, as everyone awaited gravely, a figure silently appeared on the platform ahead, emerging into the crowd’s view as if by Instant Teleportation.

"Greetings, Holy Master!" came the soft shout of the Daluo God Expert.

The other experts also fell to their knees, showing expressions of respect. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Xu Nian naturally followed suit in salutation, yet he secretly glanced up to see the figure that had appeared out of thin air.

For some reason, even though the figure stood right before him, he couldn’t discern her features.

It was as if a cloud of mist continually shrouded her visage.

"Is this a manifestation of the Netherworld Lord?" A hint of delight arose within Xu Nian’s heart.

If so, his chances of conversing with the Netherworld Lord were much higher.

"Rise!"

With a commanding voice echoing, an invisible force lifted everyone up.

"Thank you, Holy Master!"

The crowd hastily expressed gratitude.

As soon as the voice fell, they all sat cross-legged.

"Let’s skip the formalities and start with the teachings." said the authoritative female voice.

Everyone then concentrated earnestly to listen.

The woman’s voice was melodious yet commanding.

The content she spoke of was profound and detailed, explained in simple terms.

Even Xu Nian found himself benefiting greatly, with many of his previous confusions dissolving effortlessly.

This revelation provided him with clear direction in his quest to break through to the Heavenly Dao Truth.

Thrilled, Xu Nian pondered.

The Netherworld Lord’s teaching could potentially save him tens of thousands of years of cultivation time.

Many experts take at least tens of thousands of years to advance from the Great Tao True Meaning to the Heavenly Dao, after all.

But now Xu Nian felt that with just a few thousand, or even less than a thousand years, he could complete the breakthrough.

Utilizing the Chaos Divine Palace’s thousandfold time acceleration, he believed he could reach the Heavenly Dao Truth level in just three years.

The teachings continued for a full month.

Throughout this month, Xu Nian and others underwent the baptism of mystical Taoism.

Xu Nian felt that his comprehension of the Heaven and Earth Rules became more apparent.

Clearly, the Divine-level Experts also gained significantly, at times appearing to have sudden realizations, joy, or deep confusion.

"Alright, the teaching ends here; what remains is for you to comprehend at your own pace," the Netherworld Lord concluded.

Upon hearing this, many around felt a sense of loss.

"Thank you, Holy Master!"

However, they were fortunate enough to understand such a Heavenly Dao lecture.

The Netherworld Lord nodded but did not leave; instead, she cast her gaze upon Xu Nian.

Immediately, Xu Nian felt a chill down his spine as if his soul had been penetrated.

"Come with me," said the Netherworld Lord to Xu Nian.

This declaration caused an uproar in the crowd.

Even Xu Nian himself was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected the Netherworld Lord to personally request to see him.

To him, this was undoubtedly a tremendous opportunity.

"Buzz!"

A force enveloped Xu Nian, and soon he felt the world spin around him.

When Xu Nian reappeared, he found himself in an immensely grand hall.

The Netherworld Lord was sitting on the throne in this great hall.

At that moment, Xu Nian finally saw her true face.

It was a face of unparalleled beauty, with icy eyes like celestial stars.

An aura of terrifying majesty emanated from her, making Xu Nian feel inferior under its pressure.

"You finally came. I’ve been waiting for you for a long time." The Netherworld Lord’s delicate red lips curled into a slight smile, her words causing Xu Nian’s heart to tremble.

"Does the Holy Master know me?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Of course, I know you, for the person I chose, didn’t you hide her away and let her merge into the Godhood?" the Netherworld Lord sneered.

Her tone was so icy, revealing no emotion.

Yet, Xu Nian felt a chill run through him.

He knew the Netherworld Lord was referring to Leng Yanran.

Leng Yanran had previously been chosen by the Netherworld Lord to serve as the host for the Netherworld Lord.

But after Xu Nian merged Leng Yanran with the Godhood, the Netherworld Lord’s plans were utterly thwarted.

Thus, Xu Nian had always worried about retribution from the Netherworld Lord.

He had assumed coming to the Divine World unnoticed would escape her notice, yet he now realized how naive that had been.

"Since the Holy Master knows, I shall no longer conceal the truth. Leng Yanran is my wife, and I could not just watch her sacrifice herself," Xu Nian declared.

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt an overwhelming chill engulf him.

In that moment, Xu Nian felt as if he were enveloped by the Nine Nether Ice Spring.

"You dare to thwart my plans, and you aren’t afraid of death. You still dare seek me out — are you courting death?" the Netherworld Lord coldly laughed.

"Junior is merely delivering something for a senior," Xu Nian replied, producing the box a Daluo God Level Expert had given him at the tavern.

When the Netherworld Lord saw the box, she paused.

With a wave of her hand, the box flew directly into her grasp.

Upon seeing the box, surprise flickered across the Netherworld Lord’s face, followed by a brief glimpse of joy in her eyes.

This fleeting joy was so brief that even Xu Nian missed it.

"For bringing this to me, I will spare your life. However, you have disrupted my plans, and this won’t go unpunished. You must perform a task for me," the Netherworld Lord stated coldly.

"Please, Holy Master, just say the word," Xu Nian replied.

"This task is beyond your current ability. Only when you reach the Divine World will you need to carry it out," the Netherworld Lord said.

"The Divine World? I ask for your clarification, Holy Master," Xu Nian queried in surprise.

He was unsure about the task the Netherworld Lord intended for him.
