Divine King of Honour Chapter 1898: B-level Task
Previously on Divine King of Honour...
"What method is it?" Xu Nian inquired with haste.
"Once every three hundred years, the Netherworld Lord holds a lecture at the Netherworld God Temple. However, it is merely his will that descends, not his true form. You can seize this chance then to find a way to converse with the Netherworld Lord," Ye Shumin explained.
"A lecture?" Xu Nian's eyes suddenly brightened.
If the Netherworld Lord were indeed to give a lecture, even if it were just an apparition, completing the task would be possible as long as he could speak to him and hand over the item.
"How long until the next lecture occurs?" Xu Nian pressed urgently.
"You are fortunate; there are still ten years remaining," Ye Shumin replied.
"Ten years? That is not excessively long." Xu Nian nodded in acknowledgment.
"Thank you, Sister Ye. Should you uncover those three materials, please inform me immediately," Xu Nian said with a smile towards Ye Shumin.
"Very well, I shall certainly notify you," Ye Shumin responded with a smile.
After exchanging a few more pleasantries with Ye Shumin, Xu Nian returned to his cave.
Upon re-entering his cave, Xu Nian immediately immersed himself within the Chaos Divine Palace to fathom the Great Dao's true intent.
His primary self concentrated on comprehending the Wind Attribute Dao True Intent, while his Divine Demon Avatar delved into the Soil Attribute Dao True Intent.
Concurrently, the Nine Infant Avatar was engaged in studying both the Water Attribute Dao Truth and the Fire Attribute Dao Truth.
As for the spatial attribute Great Dao True Intent, Xu Nian resolved to postpone his efforts.
This was due to the genuinely formidable difficulty in comprehending the spatial attribute Great Dao True Intent.
Furthermore, the Undying Devouring Sky Beast Avatar was also actively engaged in its cultivation, though progress in this area would not be swift.
Thus, five years elapsed in the blink of an eye.
Within the temporal flow of the Chaos Divine Palace, a full five thousand years had passed.
Over the course of these five millennia, it could be asserted that Xu Nian achieved extraordinary advancements.
"Buzz!"
The Soul Avatar materialized within the cave.
At this juncture, though Xu Nian's cultivation level remained at the Nether Emperor stage, his overall bearing had become significantly more composed.
Standing there, he emanated an aura of profound depth and inscrutability.
"I had no notion so much time had transpired!" Xu Nian remarked, a look of surprise gracing his features as he perceived the internal alterations to his being.
Five thousand years?
He had never undertaken cultivation for such an extended duration before.
There was no denying the astounding efficacy of the Chaos Divine Palace, which created a temporal disparity of a thousandfold.
Had Ye Shumin not dispatched a message, he likely would not have contemplated emerging, let alone dedicating ten thousand years to cultivation within its confines.
After a brief period of acclimatization, Xu Nian took flight towards the Treasure Pavilion.
Moments prior, he had received a communication from Ye Shumin.
She indicated that tidings regarding the Glazed Jade had surfaced, requesting Xu Nian's presence to investigate.
Naturally, Xu Nian could not let such a golden opportunity slip by, prompting him to break his seclusion and proceed to the Treasure Pavilion.
Upon arriving at the Treasure Pavilion, Xu Nian promptly located Ye Shumin.
"Sister Ye, is there truly information about the Glazed Jade?" Xu Nian inquired, approaching with a smile.
However, Ye Shumin met Xu Nian's gaze with an expression of surprise.
"Hm, why do I sense such a profound transformation in you, yet I cannot pinpoint the specifics?" Ye Shumin questioned, a touch of bewilderment in her tone.
"I may have achieved some significant breakthroughs recently," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
Ye Shumin offered a nod, electing not to pry further.
"Indeed, there is news concerning the Glazed Jade, though it is not located within the Treasure Pavilion. It resides in a domain known as the Hell Ruins, a location I documented during a prior mission with certain associates. That particular task is fraught with extreme peril, presenting a near certainty of life-or-death stakes, which is why I wished to ascertain your willingness to participate," Ye Shumin stated to Xu Nian with all seriousness.
Xu Nian could perceive the gravity of her emotions, clear evidence that this mission was genuinely hazardous.
"Sister Ye, just how perilous is it?" Xu Nian asked, curiosity piqued.
"This undertaking involves a B-level mission. The successful completion of such a mission mandates the involvement of at least two God-level experts, with the addition of up to five Divine-level experts to bolster the team. Currently, two God-level experts have been secured, alongside three Divine-level cultivators, all of whom stand at the pinnacle of the Divine level. As for the fifth and final member, my intention is to invite you, but the ultimate decision rests with you," Ye Shumin elaborated.
A B-level mission?
Xu Nian blinked in surprise.
He possessed a certain understanding of the missions procured at the Netherworld God Temple.
Generally, missions were stratified into D, C, B, and A tiers, with A-level missions representing the apex, typically necessitating the participation of experts at the Daluo God level.
B-level missions required the involvement of God-level experts, and if they were merely at the initial stage of the God level, more than two God-level experts would be required.
Even under such conditions, the success rate for B-level missions hovered around thirty percent.
While successful completions were possible, they often came at the cost of substantial casualties.
When Ye Shumin brought up a B-level mission, Xu Nian grasped the seriousness of the situation. Nevertheless, he felt the Glazed Jade was worth the risk. After all, his objective was to quickly procure materials for a God-level Puppet. Furthermore, he needed to undertake a task eventually, and Ye Shumin's proposal perfectly matched his ten-year assignment. "Alright, I'll join. What exactly is this mission?" Xu Nian inquired, his interest piqued. "Here are the mission details; take a look." Ye Shumin handed a Jade Scroll to Xu Nian. As he perused it, surprise registered on Xu Nian's face. "A Hell Fragmented World? The cave of a Peak of God level expert?" Xu Nian voiced his astonishment. "Indeed, this individual was no ordinary Peak of God level expert. He was reportedly legendary in ancient times, having annihilated countless peers. A supremely powerful figure. His cave served as his sanctuary; it's said his legacy resides within. Naturally, formidable restrictions protect his cave. Breaching it will be perilous, as even minor missteps could spell annihilation. A God-level expert has already met their demise there," Ye Shumin elaborated. Xu Nian appeared surprised. However, he also observed that the Jade Scroll mentioned this God-level expert had obtained the Glazed Jade during his lifetime. While he couldn't be certain if the Glazed Jade was within the cave, or even present at all, its mention alone offered promise to Xu Nian. This was because Emperor Ye Tian had once remarked that the items he sought were exceptionally rare, even within the Divine World. "Very well, I understand. When does Sister Ye plan for us to depart?" Xu Nian asked. "In three days, we gather at the plaza at the mountain's base," Ye Shumin replied. "Understood, I shall be punctual in three days." Xu Nian gave a nod. Ye Shumin acknowledged his response with a nod, saying nothing further. She remained uncertain whether including Xu Nian, a Nether Emperor, was the correct decision. Yet, a nagging intuition suggested that the current Xu Nian was far more than he appeared on the surface. ... Three days later, Xu Nian arrived at the plaza as agreed. Ye Shumin was also present, accompanied by two other Peak of Divine-level experts. To Xu Nian's surprise, he recognized one of them. And upon seeing him, the individual's gaze immediately intensified. Without a doubt, this person was Tan Long.
