Divine King of Honour Chapter 1858: Moyang Sword Academy

"Boom!"

Within Tang Wu’s courtyard, Xu Nian exchanged blows with the Lei Family Ancestor.

A terrifying power was unleashed instantly, forcing both fighters back.

The Lei Family Ancestor was sent back ten steps, while Xu Nian was propelled even farther, flying twenty zhang before colliding with a stone pillar that halted his momentum.

The stone pillar itself was completely pulverized.

This outcome was solely due to the divine pattern restrictions Tang Wu had implemented within the courtyard; otherwise, the modest space would have surely been obliterated by the rampant energy impact.

"What kind of fist technique was that? The power was immense, and at the very moment of impact, I felt as though my own strength was being siphoned away," the Lei Family Ancestor exclaimed, a flicker of surprise crossing his features.

In that singular punch, though not at his absolute limit, he had channeled at least seventy percent of his might.

Even with such a potent display of force, Xu Nian had managed to nearly equalize the encounter.

"This is a technique I devised after reaching the Great Perfection stage in the Earth Attribute Law. I've named it the Great Void Skill," Xu Nian responded with a slight grin.

"Great Void Skill?" The Lei Family Ancestor appeared somewhat perplexed.

He couldn’t quite grasp how the Earth Attribute Law could be intertwined with a Void Skill.

Xu Nian simply smiled, offering no further explanation.

It was a realization that dawned on him later.

Following the evolution of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Law into the Great Void Hole, he had pursued further investigation based on this new form.

Ultimately, he succeeded in transforming the Great Void Hole into the Eye of the Great Void.

It was through the Eye of the Great Void that Xu Nian gained comprehension of the Great Void Skill.

The punch he had just executed had employed the power derived from the Great Void Skill.

This particular Great Void Skill possessed the ability to convert an opponent's strength into one's own at the precise moment of impact.

Naturally, given Xu Nian's current cultivation level, he could only convert a tenth of the opponent's amassed strength.

The adversary would experience a tenth reduction in their power, while Xu Nian would gain that same tenth, resulting in a net loss of two-tenths for the opponent.

As Xu Nian's proficiency in the Great Void Skill continued to grow, his capacity for conversion would undoubtedly increase.

At the very least, Xu Nian had ascertained that there was currently no form of power he was incapable of converting.

"Your insights continue to deepen, becoming increasingly unfathomable. To possess mastery over six different law attributes truly sets you apart in this world," the Lei Family Ancestor expressed, his voice laced with admiration.

Throughout this period, Xu Nian had engaged in numerous sparring sessions with him.

However, on each occasion, he utilized a distinct set of attribute laws.

The crucial point was his attainment of the Great Perfection level in all five of those attribute laws.

Within the Netherworld, achieving comprehension of even two attribute laws was an exceptionally arduous feat.

Let alone six?

"Yet, I still find myself unable to comprehend the Great Dao," Xu Nian admitted, a hint of frustration in his voice as he shook his head.

For a considerable duration, he had dedicated himself to grasping the Great Dao, all without success.

Comprehending the Great Dao was, without question, an extraordinarily demanding undertaking.

"If you were to truly grasp the Great Dao so swiftly, how would the rest of us ever stand a chance?" the Lei Family Ancestor retorted, unable to suppress a chuckle.

"Senior, how did you manage to comprehend the Great Dao in your time?" Xu Nian inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"Back then? It was only after I successfully broke through to the Divine Realm, and nearly a hundred thousand years later, that I finally achieved comprehension. That is precisely why I advise you not to be overly hasty," the Lei Family Ancestor cautioned.

But Xu Nian merely shook his head.

He felt compelled to accelerate his progress; otherwise, he harbored a gnawing fear that he might not be able to satisfy the assessment requirements of the Netherworld God Temple.

"If your genuine desire is to hasten the comprehension of the Wind Attribute Great Dao, I do have a suggestion," Tang Wu interjected, his attention having been focused on the intricate divine patterns.

"Please, enlighten me, Senior," Xu Nian requested eagerly.

"My focus lies with the Fire Attribute Great Dao, and Old Man Lei is dedicated to Thunder. Neither of us can directly assist you in this specific endeavor. However, if you wish to accelerate your understanding, seeking out a Divine-level expert who specializes in the Wind Attribute Great Dao would be most beneficial. By sparring with such an individual, you can perceive their comprehension of the Dao Rhythm, a method far more expedient than attempting to decipher it solely through your own efforts," Tang Wu proposed.

"Indeed, sparring with a Divine-level expert proficient in the Wind Attribute Great Dao," Xu Nian’s eyes immediately brightened with newfound inspiration.

He marveled at why such a straightforward solution hadn't occurred to him earlier.

If he could engage in combat with a Divine-level expert in the Wind Attribute Great Dao, he was certain to achieve a much clearer and profound understanding.

However, the challenge remained: where could such an expert be found?

"Regarding Divine-level experts specializing in the Wind Attribute, I recall the director of the Moyang Sword Academy being one such individual, and there is also that old fellow from the Chaoyang Sect. If you are seeking a sparring partner, these two would be suitable candidates," Tang Wu offered.

"Moyang Sword Academy? Chaoyang Sect?" Xu Nian mused, deep in thought.

The Chaoyang Sect held a history of animosity with him, stemming from his previous actions of eliminating both a disciple and an elder from their ranks.

They were probably still looking for him somewhere.

As for the director of Moyang Sword Academy, he might just consider it.

"Senior, I wish to pay a visit to the director of Moyang Sword Academy. Would you be able to introduce me?" Xu Nian inquired.

"The director of Moyang Sword Academy? Indeed, I know him. Very well, I shall accompany you for a visit to the Moyang Sword Academy," Tang Wu readily agreed.

"Haha, then I shall join in the fun," the Lei Family Ancestor boomed with laughter.

A smile touched Xu Nian's lips; having two Divine-level experts to facilitate the introduction was invaluable.

Surely, the director of Moyang Sword Academy would show them deference.

Otherwise, if he had gone alone, securing a meeting would likely have been impossible.

Mu Yuqing hailed from the Moyang Sword Academy—Xu Nian wondered if he would encounter her.

With this thought, a spark of anticipation ignited within Xu Nian.

Yet, he also understood that, for the present moment, being with Mu Yuqing was an unlikely prospect.

Mu Yuqing was destined to return to the Divine World, and her status as a member of the Ancient Divine Clan would undoubtedly impose limitations.

A union with her would not be a simple matter.

Thus, Xu Nian and his companions embarked on their journey towards the Moyang Sword Academy.

The Moyang Sword Academy stood as the preeminent power within Qing State, though its location was not within Tianbei City.

Instead, it was situated atop a colossal peak, thousands of li distant from Tianbei City.

With a swift teleportation, Xu Nian and his two companions materialized at the entrance of the Moyang Sword Academy.

"Who goes there?" a disciple guarding the gates of the Moyang Sword Academy immediately demanded.

"We are here to see your director. Presenting our visiting card," Tang Wu stated, handing over a card.

Upon glancing at the card, the gate-guarding disciple addressed Xu Nian and his companions, "Kindly wait here while I inform the director."

Tang Wu merely waved dismissively, showing no concern.

Before long, the gate-guarding disciple reappeared, his gaze now filled with enhanced respect as he looked upon Tang Wu.

"Please follow me; the director has instructed me to escort you to his presence," the disciple said with deference.

He then guided Xu Nian and his companions up the imposing mountain where the Moyang Sword Academy resided.

Their steps eventually halted before the grandest palace within the academy's grounds.

"The director is awaiting you inside. My escort can only go this far. Please proceed on your own from here," the gate-guarding disciple informed them.

With a respectful bow, he then departed.

Consequently, Xu Nian and his companions proceeded into the hall unescorted.

"Haha, junior brother, I never anticipated you would grace me with a visit today."

Even before they had fully entered, an exuberant voice reached Xu Nian and the others.

Upon stepping inside, they beheld an elder with hair streaked with gray, standing within the hall.

Junior brother?

Xu Nian was taken aback.

Could Tang Wu actually be a junior acquaintance of the Moyang Sword Academy's director?
