Divine King of Honour Chapter 1885: Mysterious Space
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
Upon entering the Void Abyss, Xu Nian found himself in an extraordinary space. Utter darkness enveloped him, feeling as though invisible walls confined his surroundings. Intricate, dark-golden embossed characters adorned these walls, exuding a profound aura that Xu Nian couldn't decipher. Nevertheless, he could sense an immense power emanating from them.
"Where exactly am I? This doesn't feel like the Endless Void," Xu Nian mused, his expression filled with bewilderment as he surveyed the peculiar environment. It presented itself as a deliberately constructed pocket dimension.
"Huh? What's that?"
Suddenly, a mysterious light in the distance captured Xu Nian's attention, hinting at something significant hidden beyond it.
Just as he was about to approach the light's source, Xu Nian abruptly stopped, his gaze sharpening towards a nearby spot. "Who's there? Show yourself!" he commanded.
Instantly, Xu Nian drew the God King Sword, adopting a defensive posture as if confronting a formidable adversary.
"It's me."
A delicate female voice responded, and a figure that stunned Xu Nian materialized before him. It was none other than Chen Qingyu, who had seemingly followed him into this very place.
"Why are you here?"
Xu Nian's surprise was evident as he looked at the stunning beauty. Hadn't he instructed Chen Qingyu to depart? How could she possibly be here? Could she have pursued him to the lake's bottom and then plunged into this Void Abyss with him?
"I followed you in," Chen Qingyu confirmed.
Xu Nian was left momentarily speechless. He couldn't quite comprehend why this woman would inexplicably follow him.
However, with Chen Qingyu already present, Xu Nian decided not to dwell on it further. "Let's go. There seems to be something up ahead. We'll go take a look," he proposed.
Meeting Xu Nian's gaze, Chen Qingyu appeared somewhat bashful, but she quickly regained her composure.
The two ventured forward together, soon reaching the origin of the light. There, they discovered an altar radiating a seven-colored luminescence, intricately carved with immensely powerful Ancient Divine Patterns. These patterns were so mysterious that even Xu Nian found them incomprehensible.
Resting upon the altar, a scroll and three exquisitely unique beads hovered in the air: one black, one red, and one blue. Each of these beads pulsed with an extraordinary power.
"What are these things?" Xu Nian inquired, his eyes fixed on the floating scroll and the peculiar beads, a look of puzzlement on his face.
He then noticed the astonished expression on Chen Qingyu's face beside him.
"You recognize them?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.
"Could these be the Three-Life God Transformation Beads?" Chen Qingyu responded, her voice tinged with shock and uncertainty.
Three-Life God Transformation Beads? What exactly were they?
Xu Nian's face was a mask of confusion.
Observing Xu Nian's ignorance, Chen Qingyu offered an explanation: "The Three-Life God Transformation Beads are rumored to be Treasures created by a fearsome Divine-level Expert from hell in ancient legends. This expert was apparently a God King Level master, and these three beads were allegedly refined from his very bones."
"Refined from his bones?" Xu Nian's expression shifted to one of profound shock.
A Treasure fashioned from God King Bones? This implied that the three beads were, in fact, God King Level Divine Artifacts, and remarkably potent ones at that.
"Then what do these Three-Life God Transformation Beads do?" Xu Nian pressed, still seeking clarity.
"I'm not entirely certain of their exact functions, but I've heard they are incredibly potent Divine Soul Level Treasures. The legend states that possessing them allows one to control another's Divine Soul consciousness and refine God-level Puppets. However, the specific methods remain unclear," Chen Qingyu elaborated.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian's demeanor immediately became unsettled. Refine God-level Puppets? If these three Rebirth Pearls could indeed be utilized to create God-level Puppets, they would undoubtedly be treasures beyond compare. This suggested the possibility of Xu Nian acquiring three God-level enforcers out of thin air, a thought that significantly stirred his ambition.
However, Xu Nian exercised caution, refraining from any hasty actions, as he remained uncertain about potential dangers associated with the altar. With his current strength, he doubted he could withstand any significant threat.
"Never mind, let my Soul Avatar test it first." Xu Nian re-summoned his Soul Avatar and directed it onto the altar.
The outcome defied Xu Nian's expectations. The Divine Patterns etched into the altar remained entirely inert, allowing Xu Nian to effortlessly retrieve the scroll and the three beads. The Soul Avatar, having secured the items, returned to his side.
"What kind of scroll is this?" Xu Nian gazed at the ancient-looking item, detecting no ripple of Divine Power or Divine Soul emanating from it.
It appeared to be nothing more than a commonplace scroll.
Yet, its placement here suggested it was far from ordinary.
Chen Qingyu was equally bewildered, her expression making it clear she had no idea either.
"Never mind, we’ll discover its purpose upon opening it." After a moment’s consideration, Xu Nian instructed his Soul Avatar to unseal the scroll.
The very second the Soul Avatar unfurled the scroll, an intense surge of golden light burst forth.
The radiance was so blinding that neither Xu Nian nor the others could keep their eyes open.
Nevertheless, the golden light soon receded.
Xu Nian and the others could finally discern the characters inscribed upon the scroll.
"Taigu Hidden God Treasure Record."
Xu Nian vocalized the inscription, his heart immediately seized by a tremor of astonishment.
What a formidable title! But what exactly was this artifact?
Xu Nian continued reading, only to find the remainder of the scroll was entirely blank, devoid of any further writing.
This left Xu Nian in a state of considerable frustration.
What in the world was this thing?
"Huh, so this item is actually here." At that precise instant, the surprised voice of Emperor Ye Tian resonated.
"Master, you recognize it?" Xu Nian inquired, his brow furrowed in confusion.
"I have heard of it, though I’ve never seen it before. This artifact was left within the Divine World by a powerhouse at the God Emperor Level. They chronicled their entire life’s acquired knowledge within this Hidden God Treasure Record. It encompasses the Dao of Divine Pattern, Divine Skills, various Secret Techniques, and even some insights into Cultivation. However, without a specific predestined encounter, its contents remain inaccessible," Emperor Ye Tian explained.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian immediately grasped the situation.
A compendium of knowledge, left behind by a Divine Emperor Expert.
This was undoubtedly a supreme Treasure.
However, it appeared that the record’s revelations were contingent upon a specific opportune moment.
For the time being, he would be unable to utilize it.
Furthermore, with Emperor Ye Tian’s own guidance, this Hidden God Treasure Record held considerably less allure for him.
"I shall bestow this upon you." Xu Nian presented the scroll to Chen Qingyu.
Concurrently, he relayed the scroll’s origins to her.
After learning of the scroll’s background, Chen Qingyu was utterly dumbfounded.
She had never anticipated that Xu Nian would actually bestow such a heaven-defying opportunity upon her.
"Do not fret. Since I am entrusting you with the scroll, I shall retain possession of these three Rebirth Pearls," Xu Nian declared, proceeding to perform the ritual to establish his mastery over the three beads.
The moment the connection was forged, Xu Nian instantly comprehended the true function of the Rebirth Pearls.
This revelation filled him with immense joy.
They were, in essence, as Chen Qingyu had described; the Rebirth Pearls were indeed supreme Treasures invaluable for refining God-level Puppets.
Yet, their capabilities far exceeded the descriptions she had provided.
