Xu Nian narrowly avoids death when a divine-level expert attacks him. The expert, Brother Lei, reveals he wasn't trying to kill Xu Nian but was satisfied with an even exchange after Xu Nian injured his pet. Impressed by Xu Nian's talent and the rare Immortal Realm wine he offered, Brother Lei decides to become sworn brothers with Xu Nian and accompanies him on his journey.

Xu Nian escorted the Lei Family Ancestor directly to the Qin Family's residence.

Both Qin Xue and Qin Changfeng expressed their immense delight upon seeing Xu Nian.

"Brother Xu Feng, we were beginning to think you wouldn't return," Qin Xue exclaimed with a beaming smile.

"I gave my word to escort you to the Qin Family's sect trial, and I always keep my promises," Xu Nian replied.

After all, he had already accepted the reward offered by Qin Changfeng.

Furthermore, Xu Nian himself needed to travel to the central city of Qing State to gather more intelligence regarding the Netherworld Lord.

It was only in the central region of Qing State that he could find more formidable experts, thereby increasing the accessibility of crucial information.

"I had faith that Brother Xu Feng would honor his word. Who might this be?" Qin Xue inquired, her gaze shifting to the Lei Family Ancestor standing beside Xu Nian.

Qin Changfeng also cast a curious glance at the newcomer.

"This is the Lei Family Ancestor, a cultivator of the Divine level," Xu Nian announced with a smile.

"A Divine-level expert?" Qin Changfeng and Qin Xue were utterly astounded by the revelation.

Divine level?

Such beings were considered legendary figures.

They had never encountered anyone of such profound power in their entire existence.

"Wait, Elder Xu Feng, which Lei Family are you referring to?" Qin Changfeng suddenly questioned, a flicker of anxiety in his voice.

"The Lei Family of your Heavenly Thunder City. However, I severed all ties with them long ago, so I shall not involve myself in any disputes between you and the Lei Family," the Lei Family Ancestor stated calmly.

Qin Changfeng's expression contorted.

He had never conceived that the Lei Family harbored such an astonishingly formidable individual.

It was even possible that the Lei Family itself was unaware of this patriarch's existence!

Despite the elder's assurance that he would remain detached from Lei Family affairs, who could guarantee that this ancestor wouldn't intervene unexpectedly one day?

After all, the Lei Family were his descendants.

"It appears we must endeavor to mend our relationship with the Lei Family in the future; we cannot afford to remain on bad terms," Qin Changfeng mused internally.

Qin Xue was equally taken aback.

Xu Feng's ease in conversing with a Divine-level expert hinted that Xu Nian's own cultivation was either at the Divine level or very close to it.

And she herself had not yet even ascended to the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

This realization made Qin Xue feel a sense of inadequacy.

The disparity between her own strength and Xu Nian's was truly immense.

...

Two days elapsed, and Xu Nian, accompanied by Qin Xue and the Lei Family Ancestor, commenced their journey towards Tianbei City in Qing State.

Tianbei City served as the central hub of Qing State.

It was also the location of the Qin Family's sect.

Within its confines, Xu Nian anticipated gaining access to a broader spectrum of information.

Although the Lei Family Ancestor possessed Divine-level expertise, his prolonged years of seclusion meant he had limited knowledge of current external affairs.

In truth, he had rarely, if ever, ventured beyond the borders of Qing State.

Therefore, the Divine-level expert from the Qin Family presented another potential source of information for Xu Nian.

During their travels, Xu Nian and his companions adjusted their pace to accommodate Qin Xue's slower gait.

Otherwise, with the combined might of Xu Nian and the Lei Family Ancestor, a few instances of instantaneous teleportation would have been sufficient to traverse vast distances.

Within the confines of a dilapidated Taoist temple, Xu Nian assumed a cross-legged posture, diligently striving to achieve a breakthrough to the Ninth Level of the Law Realm.

Potent wind attribute energies swirled intensely around his form.

Faint outlines of law chains became intermittently visible.

"Such an astonishing cultivation speed. He's nearly at the Ninth Level of the Law Realm. To have comprehended the Wind Attribute Law to this degree is truly remarkable,"

The Lei Family Ancestor, reclining on a nearby stone slab and leisurely sipping Drunken Immortal Brew, expressed his profound amazement at Xu Nian's accelerated progress.

The path of law cultivation typically demanded numerous iterations of rigorous deduction.

For ordinary cultivators, the number of iterations required could be beyond comprehension.

It might take tens of thousands of years to achieve even minor advancements.

Yet, this young man had attained significant breakthroughs in the law within mere moments.

The Lei Family Ancestor found himself genuinely perplexed as to the method of this cultivator's practice.

Indeed, even within the Immortal Realm, Xu Nian's cultivation speed was already extraordinarily terrifying; it became even more daunting when contrasted with the considerably slower pace of the Netherworld.

"Buzz!"

Xu Nian rose to his feet, drawing forth the God Sword.

With a decisive motion, he unleashed a slash towards the ten-thousand-mile expanse of the sky before him.

In the ensuing instant, the vast sky was rent asunder, cleaving into two and creating an immense, empty vacuum.

"So incredibly powerful."

Qin Xue's jaw nearly dropped in sheer astonishment.

She had always known Xu Nian possessed formidable strength, but she had never envisioned him reaching such an apex.

Standing in his presence, she felt akin to an insignificant ant.

Shi Shanshan materialized beside Xu Nian, her own gaze fixed upon the ten-thousand-mile-wide chasm with undisguised shock.

"This sword strike... you have condensed the law to its absolute limit, achieving the pinnacle of sharpness. Could this be the Wind Attribute Extreme Point Penetration Law?" Shi Shanshan inquired, her voice laced with surprise.

"Yes, what I comprehended is indeed the Extreme Point Penetration Law. Just had an epiphany, and understood this move called Ten Thousand Miles Cloudless," Xu Nian declared.

"Truly formidable, this sword might even cleave through Mid-grade Divine Artifact armor," Shi Shanshan commented.

Xu Nian offered a smile, acknowledging the immense sharpness of this sword strike.

Should he manifest his true form, augmented by the Supreme Dragon Robe.

Even armor forged from Top-grade Divine Artifacts could be bisected.

Once his comprehension of the law reaches the true disc stage, even Top-grade Divine Artifacts would be easily surpassed.

"A remarkable Ten Thousand Miles Cloudless. Young man, when you ascend to the Divine-level, shall we engage in a spar? Perhaps you won't even need the Divine-level; Demigod Level might suffice, utilizing your true form," the Lei Family Ancestor approached with evident excitement.

Xu Nian, currently at the peak of the Immortal Emperor realm, was already demonstrating terrifying power.

Should he achieve perfection in the Immortal Emperor realm, or even advance to the Demigod Level, his strength was certain to undergo a qualitative transformation.

At that point, even the Lei Family Ancestor would hesitate to underestimate him.

"Very well, when the opportune moment arrives, I shall certainly have a hearty duel with you. The prospect of sparring with a Divine-level expert is something I deeply desire," Xu Nian responded with a grin.

He, too, yearned to clash with an expert of the Divine-level.

However, at this present juncture, the chasm in their power was simply too vast.

Qin Xue observed this exchange, her feelings becoming even more forlorn.

Nevertheless, a fervent determination ignited within her heart, spurring her into a relentless cultivation frenzy.

Xu Nian, however, did not cease his efforts. After a period of conversation with the Lei Family Ancestor, he resumed his dedicated cultivation.

The following day, the group recommenced their journey.

"Whoosh!"

Before long, a colossal Immortal Ship materialized in the sky above.

Several figures, all appearing youthful, descended from the vessel.

They were uniformly attired in matching garments.

It was evident they belonged to the same Sect.

In terms of their cultivation, each individual had reached the Immortal King Level.

This level of power was considered quite significant within the Qing State.

To Xu Nian, however, these individuals appeared no more imposing than mere ants.

"Who are you people?" a few of the young men and women demanded, their gazes fixed upon Xu Nian, the Lei Family Ancestor, and Qin Xue.

Although they were unable to ascertain the cultivation of Xu Nian and the Lei Family Ancestor, Qin Xue's power was clearly discernible.

Earth Immortal Realm Middle Stage!

Individuals at the Earth Immortal Realm Middle Stage typically wouldn't possess overwhelming strength, would they?

"As for who we are, that is none of your concern," Xu Nian replied with a light smile.

"Insolent fools! Do you comprehend whom you are addressing?" a leading young man retorted sharply.

His tone carried a decidedly unfriendly edge.
