Xu Nian walked out of the Beichen Divine King’s hall, only to find a stunning woman in a black long dress, with a tall and slender figure, standing outside the hall.

Xu Nian recognized the woman at first glance as the late-stage Daluo God expert from the Shenxiao Sword Sect.

The woman saw Xu Nian coming and immediately stepped forward.

"Here is a cultivation technique and insights created by a Divine Sovereign level expert from our Shenxiao Sword Sect, exchanged for the Ancient Sword Pavilion token in your hand," the woman said directly, getting straight to the point.

The woman’s tone was chilly, and her gaze towards Xu Nian carried a sense of condescending indifference.

Xu Nian frowned slightly and directly refused, "I won’t trade!"

With that said, Xu Nian prepared to leave directly.

A cultivation technique created by a Divine Sovereign level expert to dismiss me?

Do you really think I’m a small loose cultivator who’s never seen the world?

Moreover, the woman’s attitude clearly had a hint of a commanding tone, making Xu Nian even more unwilling to agree.

"Won’t you reconsider? With your God level cultivation, the Divine Sovereign level technique will boost your cultivation speed by five times, not to mention that the insights of a Divine Sovereign level expert are invaluable. The strongest from Tianyu Mountain behind you is only God King level; such resources are something they can never provide," the woman was somewhat surprised by Xu Nian’s refusal but still persuaded.

"So what?" Xu Nian responded.

"So what? Do you know that these insights from a Divine Sovereign level expert could entirely change your destiny, and missing this opportunity, you might never get such a chance in your lifetime," the woman in the black dress said coldly.

"So you’re giving charity?" Xu Nian sneered.

"You can interpret it that way. Don’t think that just because you have the Ancient Sword Pavilion token, you can go inside and find opportunities. The Ancient Sword Pavilion is full of dangers; you might die in there. Moreover, you might not even be able to keep the token before entering the pavilion. Do you really want to sacrifice your life for momentary dignity? The weak have no dignity," the woman in black presumed Xu Nian was acting impulsively and lectured with disdain.

The weak have no dignity?

Xu Nian shook his head with a cold smile. A fine example of the weak having no dignity.

It seems that whether in the Mortal World, the Immortal Realm, or this Divine World, the law of the jungle remains an ironclad rule.

"I won’t trade, and whether I can keep the token is none of your concern," Xu Nian said with a faint smile.

"Hmph, unaware of the vastness of the heavens and the earth, apparently you’re just another one!" the woman in black huffed coldly.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian paused just as he was about to step forward.

"Do you know Yanran?" Xu Nian turned his head to ask.

"I don’t know her!" the woman immediately denied.

Instead of being disappointed, Xu Nian felt a spark of hope ignite in his heart.

Because the woman answered too quickly, too smoothly!

And from the woman’s expression, it was clear she was lying.

She must know Leng Yanran, just unwilling to tell him.

"If you know Yanran, please tell me. If you can tell me her whereabouts, I’ll gladly offer you this Ancient Sword Pavilion token," Xu Nian said sincerely.

As soon as he said this, the woman in the black dress was taken aback.

Previously, she offered the lifelong learnings of a Divine Sovereign level expert in exchange, and the man still declined. Now, he was willing to hand over the Ancient Sword Pavilion token just for the whereabouts of a woman?

"I don’t know any Leng Yanran," the woman denied again and then was about to turn away.

"You still say you don’t know her. If you really didn’t know, how could you know her surname is Leng?" Xu Nian asked.

Upon hearing this, the woman’s face changed immediately, realizing she had misspoken.

Yet, she did not explain, directly turning and leaving.

Xu Nian stood there, slightly furrowing his brows.

What’s going on?

This woman in the black dress is unwilling to reveal Leng Yanran’s news even if it means giving up the Ancient Sword Pavilion token.

Could there be some underlying issues behind this?

If that’s really the case, did something happen to Yanran?

Thinking this instantly made Xu Nian worried.

"No, I can’t delay any longer; I must set out for the Shenxiao Sword Sect as soon as possible," Xu Nian muttered to himself.

Immediately, he went to Bai Li’s residence.

"You’re going to the Shenxiao Sword Sect? So soon?" Bai Li asked in surprise.

"Yes, Elder Bai Li, you should know I’ve been searching for my wife’s whereabouts; you previously mentioned she appeared within the Shenxiao Sword Sect’s territory, so I must go looking for her. And this time, obtaining the Ancient Sword Pavilion token presents an excellent opportunity," Xu Nian said.

"However, with your God level cultivation, you might not be able to reach the Shenxiao Sword Sect," Bai Li advised.

Not to mention the God Realm level, even at the Daluo God level, traversing the Vast Sea is extremely dangerous.

"The Beichen Divine King mentioned he would talk to a few people from the Shenxiao Sword Sect and let me travel with them, so there shouldn’t be too much danger," Xu Nian replied.

Bai Li furrowed his brows upon hearing this.

A moment later, he spoke: "Alright, since you’ve made up your mind, I won’t stop you. Originally, due to your life-saving grace, I should escort you to the Shenxiao Sword Sect, but since the Wind God Ghost Domain continues to be restless and I’m apparently on the verge of a breakthrough, I cannot accompany you," Bai Li said.

"Elder Bai Li is about to breakthrough?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.

"Yes, although I’ve sensed signs of a breakthrough, achieving it is not easy and might take a long time. Also, you don’t need to call me Elder Bai Li anymore; if you don’t mind, just call me Sister Bai Li," Bai Li said.

"Sister Bai Li?" Xu Nian was astonished.

Unexpectedly, the cold and ruthless Bai Li would let him address her so intimately.

It’s known that Bai Li is infamous for being merciless in Tianyu Mountain, dealing meticulously even with God King level experts.

"You don’t want to?" Bai Li asked.

"Of course I do, Sister Bai Li. To celebrate your upcoming breakthrough in advance, I’ll gift you this sword," Xu Nian said as he took out a Godhood Sword.

"Godhood Sword? You’ve crafted it already?" Bai Li was immensely surprised.

"Yes, but currently, I can’t engrave stronger Divine Talismans; I can only leave Mid-grade Daluo God Artifact talismans on it, which offers minimal boost for Sister Bai Li. However, the sharpness of the Godhood Weapon itself doesn’t lose to Spiritual Treasures," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"It’s too valuable; I previously mentioned exchanging conditions," Bai Li said.

Xu Nian simply smiled, "No need; this is a gift for Sister Bai Li, no reciprocation needed."

Bai Li wanted to say something more, but seeing Xu Nian’s determined eyes, she ceased her refusal.

"Alright, I’ve decided to recognize you as my younger brother," Bai Li affirmed.

Xu Nian smiled slightly, unexpectedly having Bai Li as an elder sister.

Given Bai Li’s character, if she acknowledges him as her brother, she’d truly be wholehearted.

"Sister Bai Li, I have a favor to ask. I intend to bestow Godhood on my avatar, and I’d like you to act as protector," Xu Nian said.

After speaking, Xu Nian waved his hand, and a Wind Attribute Avatar appeared beside him.

Upon seeing Xu Nian’s Wind Attribute Avatar, Bai Li was taken aback.

Chaos Body?

How many avatars does this guy have?

Moreover, how are they all so defying?
