Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1429: Xu Nian’s Decision

"Consider carefully before making a decision; after all, the Death God Domain is not something to be trifled with," Taichu Immortal Emperor said.

"I have thought it through. My goal is also to become a god, and since I can’t avoid the Death God Domain in the process, what reason do I have to shy away?" Xu Nian replied.

"Very good, indeed you are someone Wu Jiang, the ancestor, has set his sights on. In that case, take these three drops of Divine Power Liquid. They are of wind attribute, earth attribute, and thunder attribute respectively." Taichu Immortal Emperor waved his hand, and the three incredibly brilliant drops appeared before Xu Nian.

The liquid emitted incredibly terrifying waves.

The wind, earth, and thunder attributes were immensely concentrated.

"So this is Divine Power Liquid?" Xu Nian thought in amazement.

This was his first time seeing Divine Power Liquid.

It’s known that in the Immortal Realm, a single drop of this Divine Power Liquid can lead to a struggle among Immortal Emperors.

Yet now Taichu Immortal Emperor unexpectedly gave him three drops.

Moreover, two of them matched the attributes he cultivated.

"The method to use Divine Power Liquid is simple: hold it in your palm and activate your cultivation technique to absorb it," Taichu Immortal Emperor explained.

"Thank you, Master, for the gift," Xu Nian hurriedly expressed.

"Good, since you understand, withdraw now. Find a time to go to the Death God Domain, but I suggest you take a task from the Task Hall to cover your tracks. Additionally, I will spread the news that your cultivation has failed, and you lost the qualification to become a direct disciple," Taichu Immortal Emperor said.

"Yes, Master!" Xu Nian nodded.

He understood that Taichu Immortal Emperor was protecting him.

If other Immortal Emperors learned he went to the Death God Domain, they would undoubtedly keep a close watch on him.

Even if he manages to leave the Death God Domain, he might not make it back to Shendang Mountain.

Taichu Immortal Emperor waved his hand.

Xu Nian slightly bowed, then turned and left.

Taichu Immortal Emperor watched Xu Nian’s departing figure, pondering, before finally murmuring to himself, "I hope you don’t disappoint me."

"How did it go, junior brother? Did Master take you as a direct disciple?"

Upon exiting the palace, Xu Nian saw Zhao Qiong, Lu Jiang, and Zhu Xin gathered outside the hall.

Xu Nian shook his head, "Master said my cultivation has had a glitch, pointed out my cultivation path, but did not mention anything about being a direct disciple."

"A glitch in cultivation?" The three looked shocked.

"How could there be a glitch in cultivation? Your insight has already reached Law Manifestation Great Success," Lu Jiang curiously asked.

Zhu Xin also furrowed her brow.

"I’m not quite sure either. Master asked me to reconsider," Xu Nian said helplessly.

Upon hearing this, the three were somewhat disappointed.

No one expected Xu Nian not to be chosen as a direct disciple.

Seeing the disappointment on their faces, Xu Nian felt a bit guilty.

Although he did not want to deceive them, there was no other option; it was Taichu Immortal Emperor’s request.

"Right, Fourth Sister, I might not be able to join the battle squad for the time being; Master asked me not to enter the Sealing God Battlefield right now," Xu Nian said.

"Alright, then follow Master’s instruction. Adjust your cultivation soon, and you can become Master’s direct disciple," Zhu Xin replied.

"Thank you, Sister," Xu Nian nodded.

"Well, even though you haven’t joined our battle squad, you can still call me Fourth Sister," Zhu Xin said.

Xu Nian felt a warmth in his heart.

"Yes, Xu Nian, I am also your Sixth Brother," Zhao Qiong added.

"And me, your Fifth Brother," Lu Jiang mentioned.

On hearing this, Xu Nian felt deeply grateful.

"Thank you, brothers and sisters. I will return soon and fight alongside you," Xu Nian said sincerely.

"Good, we will wait for you!" Zhu Xin nodded.

After exchanging words with the three, Xu Nian returned to his residence.

Soon, the news that Xu Nian was seen by Taichu Immortal Emperor and then sent back spread through Shendang Mountain.

Many disciples knew that Xu Nian’s cultivation had gone astray.

"Alas, what a pity. I thought Xu Nian would become the seventh direct disciple of Taichu Immortal Emperor."

"Indeed, he was previously pulled into the battle squad by Zhu Xin and others, but unexpectedly, it ended like this."

"It’s his own inadequacy. It’s rumored he took shortcuts in cultivation, and Taichu Immortal Emperor saw through it, reprimanding him directly."

"I heard Taichu Immortal Emperor was furious, even threatened to abolish his cultivation, but other disciples pleaded for him, so Taichu Immortal Emperor let him go."

"So that’s how it was; indeed, he deserved it."

...

On the way to the Task Hall, Xu Nian heard various discussions.

Clearly, those who previously greeted him politely were the ones gossiping now.

Xu Nian shook his head with a wry smile, realizing that even after becoming an immortal, human nature remains the same.

However, Xu Nian did not mind.

"Xu Nian, don’t let this bother you. A deviation in cultivation just requires more cultivation," Lin Hengxin hastily reassured as he found Xu Nian.

"Don’t worry, Sister, it doesn’t bother me," Xu Nian replied with a smile.

"Well, not being chosen as a direct disciple isn’t a problem. Master’s direct disciples appear once in several hundred years. With your talent, there will definitely be chances," Lin Hengxin continued.

Xu Nian smiled and nodded.

He truly did not know how to explain.

Being a direct disciple is actually very easy for him.

Still, he chose the hardest path.

"Xu Nian, what are your plans next?" Xue Bing approached and asked.

"I plan to take a task from the Task Hall and venture out to correct my cultivation path," Xu Nian replied.

"You want to take a task? What about the trial in the Sky-reaching World?" Xue Bing asked, astonished.

"The trial can be entered anywhere. It doesn’t affect me," Xu Nian said with a smile.

"Should I accompany you to take the task?" Xue Bing quickly offered.

"No need, thank you, Brother Xue," Xu Nian declined.

He wasn’t really undertaking a task.

But heading to the Death God Domain.

He certainly couldn’t let Xue Bing go with him.

"Alright, stay safe," Xue Bing said.

Xu Nian nodded.

Then continued towards the Task Hall.

"Xu Nian is quite unlucky to suddenly have a glitch in cultivation, and Master too, to deny him over a minor glitch?" Lin Hengxin complained.

"Don’t speak carelessly. Master is strict, as you know, and perhaps Master merely wishes to train Xu Nian more, given his short cultivation duration," Xue Bing noted.

"Does Xu Nian still have a chance to become a direct disciple?" Lin Hengxin asked.

"He should, as long as his cultivation gets back on track," Xue Bing answered.

Lin Hengxin seemed a bit at a loss.

Xue Bing also showed a complex expression.

They were aware of what Xu Nian had done for them in the Sky-reaching World, and they felt immense gratitude towards this junior brother.

Now that Xu Nian hadn’t become a direct disciple, they all felt deeply disappointed.
