Divine King of Honour Chapter 2186: Hong Xi’s Request

"Back in the Immortal Realm with the Divine Miracle, you disappeared. Where did you go?" Xu Nian asked while walking with Hong Xi.

"We were separated by the formation in the Divine Miracle, and then I successfully obtained the True Phoenix Bloodline and was transported to another place," Hong Xi replied.

Xu Nian nodded.

He had already guessed as much.

"And then, how did you end up on Sin God Island?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"After that, I focused solely on cultivation. Upon ascending, I found myself on Sin God Island. Life there was harsh, and in order to survive, I had to kill. But it was also because of killing that my cultivation advanced rapidly," Hong Xi said calmly.

Xu Nian nodded.

He could sense the hardships Hong Xi had endured; otherwise, he wouldn’t possess today’s strength.

"I came to find you because I need your help," Hong Xi suddenly said after thinking for a moment.

"What is it?" Xu Nian asked.

"You should know that I cultivate the Killing Scripture; to practice this technique requires severing all emotions and desires. But now, I have encountered a bottleneck," Hong Xi thought for a moment before speaking.

"Severing all emotions and desires is inherently an impossible task. Even if you manage to do so, what is the meaning of life?" Xu Nian shook his head.

He had advised Hong Xi in the past.

But the latter did not listen.

Without emotions and desires, becoming Supreme holds little meaning.

"I have no other choice; the Killing Scripture is my only option," Hong Xi said with determination in her eyes.

"There are many ways to become stronger. Why insist on this method? Tell me what you need help with, and if I can do it, I will try my best," Xu Nian sighed.

"I plan to enter the Desolate Sky Battlefield. It’s said that one’s power can rapidly increase there," Hong Xi continued.

"Yes, the Desolate Sky Battlefield possesses strong Origin Power. If you can obtain a treasure related to Origin Energy, it can indeed help you rapidly increase your strength," Xu Nian nodded.

"I want to borrow an item from you; if you agree, I’ll consent to any condition you have," Hong Xi said.

"What item?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.

"The Void Gate ring," Hong Xi said.

"The Void Gate ring?" Xu Nian was taken aback.

He suddenly remembered that he had once acquired a mysterious ring.

Emperor Ye Tian had once said the ring’s value was in no way inferior to the Chaos Divine Palace.

But he had not been able to open it initially, and further attempts also failed. Eventually, he forgot about it.

A thought occurred, and an ancient, enigmatic ring appeared in his hand.

This ring was old yet profound, said to belong to an ancient sect.

"Yes, it’s indeed in your possession," Hong Xi immediately acknowledged.

Xu Nian was slightly surprised: "What is the purpose of this ring?"

"This is a treasure from the Void-breaking Sect. The ring itself is merely a divine artifact, somewhat equivalent to an Innate Spiritual Treasure. However, it has been sealed by Emperor-level strong men, requiring a unique method to unlock it, concealing a tremendous secret behind it," Hong Xi explained.

"Sealed by Emperor-level strong men? No wonder I haven’t been able to open it," Xu Nian realized.

If you knew the secret behind the ring, you’d likely lose composure because the ring relates to the hidden treasures of the Void-breaking Sect, housing the complete inheritance of three Emperor-level strong men, including the Killing Scripture created by one of the Divine Emperors," Hong Xi elaborated.

"Is that so? Then take it," Xu Nian threw the ring over.

The other was visibly surprised.

"You just gave it to me like that?" Hong Xi asked, astonished.

"Otherwise? While the ring may concern the Void-breaking Sect’s treasures, it doesn’t hold much significance for me. Since it’s useful to you, take it," Xu Nian said indifferently.

In the past, Emperor Ye Tian mentioned its considerable value, even above the Chaos Divine Palace.

He had thought it was a powerful Chaos Spiritual Treasure.

It turns out it was due to the secrets it entwined.

With this revelation, Xu Nian lost much interest in it.

At the God King Level, enhancing one’s strength mainly relies on comprehension.

And since it connects with Hong Xi and the Void-breaking Sect, why not let her have it?

"Thank you!" Hong Xi looked at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian waved his hand: "Though I still wish for you to abandon the Killing Scripture cultivation, you have your choices. I can only wish you fulfill your aims."

Hong Xi nodded.

"We’re here!"

Hong Xi led Xu Nian to a residence.

Xu Nian was puzzled why she brought him here.

However, Xu Nian followed Hong Xi into the residence.

As soon as they entered, a formation automatically activated.

The entire residence was completely shielded; not even a Divine Sovereign could enter.

Xu Nian was confused.

Yet in the next moment, an astonishing scene unfolded.

Hong Xi slowly began to undress, speaking softly: "Xu Nian, do you know why my Killing Scripture hasn’t reached Great Success in all these years?"

"Why?" Xu Nian turned his head aside.

"Because of you. When, I don’t know, you’ve planted a shadow in my heart. I need to sever all emotions and desires, but I can’t break free of your shadow," Hong Xi said.

"So... What do you intend to do?" Xu Nian asked, shocked.

He hadn’t thought Hong Xi would say such words.

"I must cultivate the Killing Scripture. As for my feelings towards you, I plan to end it by another means. Only by receiving it can it be completely severed," Hong Xi stated.

"Is it necessarily required to do this?" Xu Nian hesitated awkwardly.

By now, Hong Xi had undressed, revealing soft intimate attire, her graceful figure fully exposed.

"Unwilling?" Hong Xi slightly frowned.

"Willing, but..." Xu Nian didn’t know how to respond.

To say he didn’t have feelings for Hong Xi would be untrue.

So when Hong Xi said this, he truly didn’t know how to refuse.

"Since you’re willing, don’t hesitate. Just this once. After this, I’ll completely sever my emotions and desires, and then we’ll be strangers to each other," Hong Xi remarked.

With that, she fully disrobed.

Seeing this, Xu Nian ceased to hesitate and embraced Hong Xi.

The next morning when Xu Nian awoke, Hong Xi had already left.

She hadn’t left anything for Xu Nian.

Clearly, she wanted to sever everything with Xu Nian; the indulgence of last night was her heart’s final defiance.

Xu Nian shook his head in resignation.

Collecting himself, he rejoined Xue Li and Guan Qingyue.

The latter regarded Xu Nian with suspicion.

Clearly, Xu Nian’s absence throughout the night suggested he was up to something indiscreet.

Naturally, Xu Nian didn’t bother explaining to her.

"My lord, today marks the start of the auction; shall we proceed?" Xue Li asked.

"Alright, lead the way!" Xu Nian responded.

Thus, he followed Xue Li toward the auction venue.

Regarding the auction, Xu Nian was also curious about what kind of treasures would be featured.
