Divine King of Honour Chapter 1863: Netherworld God Temple Assessment

Wind Extreme!

Within the Wind Attribute Great Dao, this esoteric art is acknowledged as an exceptionally potent manifestation of the Dao.

It signifies the pinnacle of attainment within the Wind Attribute.

Even the esteemed Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy has only managed to grasp the Wind Trace Dao Intent.

Notably, Wind Trace resides two tiers below Wind Extreme in terms of power and mastery.

"A commendable feat, young one. It is truly unexpected that you, at the Nether Emperor Level, have comprehended the Wind Attribute Dao Intent. Wind Extreme, representing the ultimate in wind, is considered a peerless Dao Intent among those of the Wind Attribute," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy expressed his admiration.

Xu Nian offered a slight smile, replying, "My gratitude for your tutelage, Senior. However, I have only just achieved comprehension of this Dao Intent and have yet to fully master it."

"Indeed, if you can solidify this Dao Intent to the First Level Realm, even I would find myself compelled to exert my utmost strength to overcome you," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy remarked.

A gentle smile graced Xu Nian's lips as he perceived the internal shifts within himself.

He could discern that his perception of the universe had undergone a profound advancement.

It felt akin to a veil of fog being lifted, revealing the world in pristine clarity.

In comparison to mere laws, the Great Dao True Intent possesses a significantly superior standing.

Effortlessly vanquishing an expert at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level now feels as simple as slicing through vegetables.

"Lad, I shall pose the question once more with utmost sincerity: Are you amenable to joining our Moyang Sword Academy?" the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy inquired, his tone serious.

"Senior, I must offer my apologies, but I fear I shall have to disappoint you. My path necessitates joining the Netherworld God Temple," Xu Nian declared, his gaze firm with resolve.

"Young man, might you reconsider? What if I were to introduce you to someone? The foremost female prodigy of our Moyang Sword Academy! She is hailed as the preeminent goddess of Qing State," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy, his recruitment attempt unsuccessful, swiftly resorted to employing a beauty trap.

"Li Moyang, your shamelessness knows no bounds. To secure Xu Nian's allegiance, you stoop to employing a beauty trap," Tang Wu interjected, unable to refrain from commenting.

"Who claimed I was utilizing a beauty trap? I merely believe they would be exceptionally well-matched. Given that young lady's extraordinary talent, only this youth, Xu Nian, can truly be considered her equal," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy retorted.

A wry smile flickered across Xu Nian's face.

He was, of course, well aware of the identity of the Qing State's top goddess alluded to by the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy.

Who else could possibly hold such a prestigious title but Mu Yuqing?

"Senior, is Mu Yuqing not currently within the Sword Academy?" Xu Nian inquired, a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Oh? You are acquainted with her? She departed some time ago and has not yet returned," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy replied.

"Hmm, I had an encounter with her once in the Asura Forest. We could be considered... acquaintances, perhaps even friends," Xu Nian affirmed with a nod.

"Ah, so you know each other! In that case, why not stay awhile? I truly believe you and Yuqing would make a remarkable pair," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy suggested with a smile.

Xu Nian, however, shook his head. "I am deeply appreciative of your kind offer, Senior, but I have compelling reasons that compel me to join the Netherworld God Temple."

"Very well, since your determination is so resolute, we shall leave the matter at that," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy conceded.

"Xu Nian, with less than a month remaining until the Netherworld God Temple's assessment, I have recently received some rather troubling intelligence. The difficulty of this year's assessment is anticipated to be significantly greater than in preceding years," Tang Wu stated abruptly.

"Why do you suggest such a thing, Senior?" Xu Nian asked, feigning surprise.

"Because I have learned that three individuals from Futu Mountain will be participating in the assessment this time around," Tang Wu revealed.

"Futu Mountain?" Xu Nian's brow furrowed in a look of puzzlement.

It was a name of a faction entirely unfamiliar to him.

"You may not be aware of Futu Mountain; it is an exceptionally reclusive power that has remained isolated and uninvolved for hundreds of thousands of years. Consequently, many factions within Qing State are entirely unaware of its existence," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy elucidated.

"Indeed, Futu Mountain possesses formidable strength. It is rumored that three prodigious talents have emerged from their ranks this year, each considered a figure of exceptional prodigy-level caliber. Furthermore, word has it that one of them has already attained the Upper God cultivation realm and has comprehended the Great Dao True Intent to the Third Level Realm," Tang Wu elaborated with a serious expression.

"The Third Level Realm? None of us three have yet reached the Third Level Realm. You can readily imagine the profound might associated with the Third Level Realm," the Lei Family Ancestor added, his voice carrying a tone of gravity.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's brows knitted together even more tightly.

Upper God cultivation, and at the Third Level of the Great Dao?

It appeared that Tang Wu's assessment was accurate; the Netherworld God Temple's upcoming assessment would indeed present an exceptionally formidable challenge for him.

"Senior, could you please elaborate on the general procedure of the Netherworld God Temple's assessment?" Xu Nian inquired, his curiosity piqued.

"The assessment methodology is, in actuality, quite straightforward. It is bifurcated into two distinct stages: a preliminary assessment and a final assessment," Tang Wu responded.

"The preliminary assessment generally involves striking the Netherworld Stele, which will give a value based on each person’s attack power. Typically, if this value reaches ten thousand, it’s considered passing. Extremely outstanding individuals can surpass one hundred thousand, though only two people in the history of the Netherworld God Temple have achieved more than one hundred thousand in the first round. Ten thousand means the strength has reached top-grade Divine Level," Tang Wu continued.

"Ten thousand?" Xu Nian was surprised.

He didn’t expect the first round of the assessment to be testing attack power.

"Xu Fenn, with your strength, passing shouldn’t be difficult. I estimate your full-force attack value would be around fifteen thousand," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy said.

"Only fifteen thousand?" Xu Nian was a bit shocked.

How terrifying would the hundred thousand value be?

"And what about the final assessment?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"The final assessment involves life-threatening situations. Those who enter the final assessment will go into a Hell Fragment World, where you will have specific missions and will inevitably face opponents, leading to battles where life and death struggles are allowed," Tang Wu said solemnly.

Xu Nian understood.

This means that the final assessment will involve direct confrontations with other participants.

At that time, he might encounter those three from Futu Mountain.

"Xu Fenn, in the final assessment, you might not only face Futu Mountain. You could be up against God-level geniuses from various states in the Netherworld, so if you can’t pass the assessment, preserving your life should be your top priority," Tang Wu said.

Xu Nian nodded.

He didn’t expect Tang Wu to care for him so much.

"Lad, though I don’t think you can pass the Netherworld God Temple’s assessment, I still hope you return safely. The doors of Moyang Sword Academy will always be open for you," the Dean of the Moyang Sword Academy said.

"Thank you, Dean," Xu Nian said gratefully.

He was sincerely grateful to these three seniors before him.

However, joining the Netherworld God Temple was something he couldn’t avoid.

"Xu Nian, since you’ve already broken through to the Great Dao, I can teach you a Divine Skill," Emperor Ye Tian’s voice sounded in Xu Nian’s mind.

At these words, Xu Nian was suddenly delighted.

Could it be that Emperor Ye Tian would actively give him a Divine Skill?

It must be that the Divine Skill given by Emperor Ye Tian wouldn’t be bad.
