Divine King of Honour

Soon, the news of Shao Chengfeng's breakthrough with the Heart of Innocence spread like a storm across the Green Cold Star.

Green Cold Star, Heartless Lake.

A woman with ordinary looks but an extraordinary bearing sat on the lake with a sword.

The breeze caressed her face, and the water rippled.

The woman suddenly opened her tightly shut eyes.

"Clang!"

The sound of a sword resounded, and a sharp sword shot up into the sky beside the woman.

The woman also leapt up, instantly appearing above the clouds.

Her hand grasped the sharp sword, and she struck out with it.

With a merciless blow, a thousand miles of clouds were shattered in an instant.

Leaving behind a long, large ravine.

"Heart of Innocence? Shao Chengfeng, I never expected your Tao Heart to advance before crossing the Heavenly Tribulation. Since that's the case, using you to practice my sword would be most fitting." The woman looked eastward and spoke coldly to herself.

The east of Heartless Lake was precisely where the Green Cold Sect's mountain gate was located.

After speaking, the woman stepped into the void, heading east with a swift motion.

Meanwhile.

A handsome young man from the Xie Family exited the Scripture Pavilion, with sword energy soaring skyward, heading straight for the Green Cold Sect.

Immediately, the entire Xie Mansion buzzed with excitement.

All the servants and disciples were abuzz with discussion.

The Young Family Head of the Xie Family, who had been in seclusion for ten years, had emerged from the Scripture Pavilion.

They all knew that the Young Family Head had left the Scripture Pavilion because of the breakthrough of Shao Chengfeng, the Young Sect Master of the Green Cold Sect.

Xie Haixing, Shao Chengfeng, and Wang Yuhuan, known as the three prodigies of Green Cold Star.

All of them had Peak Tribulation Crossing Cultivation.

Now that the time for their Heavenly Tribulation was approaching.

The entire population of Green Cold Star was discussing who among the three would be the first to cross the tribulation and who would be the number one person on Green Cold Star.

With news of Shao Chengfeng's Tao Heart breakthrough, the other two naturally could not sit still.

They naturally had to rush to the Green Cold Sect to compete.

Soon, the news of two major geniuses heading to the Green Cold Sect spread across Green Cold Star.

Not only were the low-level cultivators concerned, but even the powerful elders paid great attention.

This not only concerned who would be the first among the younger generation of Green Cold Star but also the face of their three major powers.

Hence, many elders also went to the Green Cold Sect.

All at once, the entire Green Cold Sect became lively.

At that moment, inside the Green Cold Sect, Shao Chengfeng was almost on the verge of tears.

What Heart of Innocence?

What Tao Heart breakthrough?

It was all fake!

His True Essence was completely devoured, and he still hadn't fully recovered.

Under normal circumstances, if Xie Haixing and Wang Yuhuan came knocking.

He naturally wouldn't be afraid.

But now, it made his head as big as a bull's.

"Mr. Liu, you have to help me. If you don't, the face of our Green Cold Sect will be completely lost." Shao Chengfeng cried as he looked at the young man sitting in the Hall Master's seat.

Although this young man was even younger than him, Shao Chengfeng dared not show a hint of disrespect.

Not to mention his identity, just the aura inadvertently emanating from him was enough to make Shao Chengfeng feel fear.

The young man lazily sat in the main seat.

Upon hearing Shao Chengfeng's words, he didn't even lift his head, intently playing with an ancient dagger in his hands.

Beside him sat another young man.

Though this young man was also very strong, the pressure on Shao Chengfeng was bearable.

Because his cultivation was of the same rank as Shao Chengfeng's, also at the Peak Tribulation Crossing Level.

Unlike the young man, whose body emanated the might of an Earth Immortal.

Although it was just the Basic Stage, it was not something Shao Chengfeng could compare to.

"You're saying that person not only restrained you but devoured your True Essence entirely, while his cultivation was only at the early-stage Tribulation Crossing?"

After a long while, Liu Changtian finally looked at Shao Chengfeng and inquired.

"That's right, Mr. Liu. That guy is extremely unusual. Despite his cultivation being inferior to mine, my True Essence entered his Zifu like a clay ox entering the sea, and when he caught me, I couldn't move at all." Shao Chengfeng answered truthfully, and at this point, a wave of anger surged in his heart.

He had gone to find Ouyang Yun and his sister precisely on Mr. Liu's command.

Now, not only was the mission unfulfilled, but he had also gotten himself into a mess.

Fortunately, Mr. Liu didn't blame him; otherwise, his fate would have been dire.

But even so, it couldn't dispel the anger he felt towards Xu Nian.

But what's most troubling now is that Wang Yuhuan and Xie Haixing had actually come knocking.

Chen Linfeng, sitting beside Liu Changtian, frowned and looked at Liu Changtian, clearly unable to discern what bizarre method this was.

Devouring a person's True Essence, even an early-stage Earth Immortal expert might not accomplish, only an Earth Immortal expert who had refined an Immortal Mansion within their Zifu could possibly do so.

But a youth not yet thirty reaching the middle-stage Earth Immortal?

Is that possible?

In Chen Linfeng's view, it was obviously impossible.

Even the number one of the Tiancang Sect, Jiang Shengtian, only stepped into the Earth Immortal Realm at forty-eight.

Liu Changtian remained silent and instead looked at Shao Chengfeng, asking, "What is his name?"

"I seem to have heard them call him Xu... Xu Nian, yes, Xu Nian." Shao Chengfeng thought for a moment and responded.

"Xu Nian?" Chen Linfeng's heart trembled, unable to suppress his exclamation.

"Liu Senior Brother, have you heard of Xu Nian?" Liu Changtian looked at Chen Linfeng in surprise and asked.

"Senior Brother Liu, I once met a guy named Xu Nian, and he seemed to have some connection with Junior Sister Murong, but that guy was merely an ant. When I saw him, he was only at the Zifu Realm. You and I, being from the Four Great Sects, have only risen several realms in a few years, and this guy, just a loose cultivator, achieving middle-stage Tribulation Crossing, is impossible. Hence, this Xu Nian must not be the one I know." Chen Linfeng replied.

He didn't believe this Xu Nian was the one he had encountered on Tianlan Star.

Among the countless cultivators, there must be millions with the name Xu Nian.

How could he possibly encounter that Xu Nian again?

And as mentioned, if it truly was that Xu Nian, reaching the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm would be his limit now.

How could he possibly reach the middle-stage Tribulation Crossing?

"Oh? A relationship with Junior Sister Murong? If Jiang Shengtian were here this time, just having the same name as that guy would mean death." Liu Changtian said with a smile.

Chen Linfeng also nodded, a cold smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Shengtian's affection for Murong Xue was well-known throughout the Tianlan Star Domain.

If not for Murong Xue maintaining a certain distance, they would likely have been an admired couple in the cultivation world.

But even so, everyone assumed that Murong Xue would eventually end up with Jiang Shengtian.

Because only Jiang Shengtian was a match for her, and only she was a match for Jiang Shengtian.

"Alright, Shao Chengfeng, I bestow upon you a top-grade Spirit Pill. Recover your cultivation quickly; once you've dealt with your troublesome matters, go complete your task. I don't care how you manage it, but you must bring that girl back for me. If you can't persuade her, use force. If you can't bring her back peacefully, then use force. Drive this girl over within three days, or bring her back by force." Liu Changtian laughed as he spoke.

Chen Linfeng also nodded in agreement, seemingly unable to figure out the mysterious technique either.

He couldn't believe the vast number of cultivators, but if it was really that Youth Xu that he had met on Tianlan Star, reaching the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm would have been the limit.

How could he possibly reach the Peak of Tribulation Crossing?

"Thank you, Mr. Liu. You are my savior, if you don't help me now, our Green Cold Sect will be thoroughly humiliated." Shao Chengfeng said to the youth sitting on the Hall Master's throne, close to tears.

Although this young man was younger than him, Shao Chengfeng did not dare give even a hint of offense.

Not to mention his identity, just the aura he inadvertently exuded was enough to make Shao Chengfeng feel afraid.

The youth sat lazily on the main seat.

Upon hearing Shao Chengfeng's words, he didn't even lift his head, continuing to play with an ancient dagger in his hand.

Another young man was sitting beside him.

Though this young man was also very strong, he did not exert as much pressure on Shao Chengfeng.

Because his cultivation level was the same as Shao Chengfeng's, both of them were at the Peak of Tribulation Crossing.

Unlike this young man, exuding an air of Earth Immortal might.

Though he was only at the Basic Stage, he was still beyond what Shao Chengfeng could compare to.

"You're saying that not only did that person restrain you, but he also completely devoured your True Essence, and his cultivation was only at the Early-stage of Tribulation Crossing?"

After a long while, Liu Changtian finally looked at Shao Chengfeng and questioned him.

"That's right, Mr. Liu. That guy is quite strange. Even though his cultivation is inferior to mine, my True Essence entered his Zifu like a mud cow disappearing into the sea, and after he caught me, I couldn't move at all." Shao Chengfeng responded truthfully, and as he spoke, a wave of anger surged within him.

He had gone looking for Ouyang Yun and his sister under the orders of this Mr. Liu.

Not only did he fail to complete the task, but he also found himself in a lot of trouble.

Luckily, Mr. Liu was not offended; otherwise, Shao Chengfeng's outcome would have been catastrophic.

But even so, he couldn't quell the anger he harbored towards Xu Nian in his heart.

Of course, his most pressing concern now was that Wang Yuhuan and Xie Haixing had come knocking on his door.

Sitting beside Liu Changtian, Chen Linfeng frowned as he looked at Liu Changtian, apparently unable to discern the strange technique.

Liu Changtian finally spoke up after a long silence and asked Shao Chengfeng, "So you're saying that not only did that person restrain you, but he also devoured all your True Essence, and his cultivation level was merely at the Early-stage Tribulation Crossing?"

"That's right, Mr. Liu. That guy is very bizarre. Clearly, his cultivation wasn't better than mine, but for some reason, when my True Essence entered his Zifu, it was as if it disappeared without a trace, and once he grabbed me, I couldn't move a muscle." Shao Chengfeng truthfully replied, a surge of anger welling up within him as he spoke.

He had gone to find Ouyang Yun and his sister under the orders of Mr. Liu.

Now, not only had he failed the mission, but he's also brought trouble upon himself.

Luckily, Mr. Liu did not blame him; otherwise, his fate would have been dire.

However, even with that being the case, he couldn't quell the fury in his heart directed at Xu Nian.

Of course, the most pressing issue now was that Wang Yuhuan and Xie Haixing had come looking for him.

Chen Linfeng, sitting by Liu Changtian's side, furrowed his brow and looked at Liu Changtian, apparently unable to discern the peculiar technique either.

"You mean that person not only restrained you but also devoured all of your True Essence, and his cultivation was only at the early-stage Tribulation Crossing?"

Chen Linfeng's heart trembled as he heard his Junior Brother Murong mention someone named Xu Nian, who also seemed to have a connection with Murong Xue.

In the vast Cultivation World, there are countless people,

Among them, he knew only one man named Xu Nian.

If this Xu Nian could reach the Heavenly Phenomenon Realm, it would already be extraordinary.

To reach the Peak of Tribulation Crossing?

"How is that possible?" Liu Changtian said with a smile.

Chen Linfeng also nodded, unable to see through this bizarre method either.

"Alright, set this aside for now, focus on the girl first, we have an important guest from the Tiancang Sect and must not let this opportunity slip," Liu Changtian said, finally looking up with a penetrating gaze.

He then relaxed back into his chair, his presence still heavily weighing on Shao Chengfeng.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu," Shao Chengfeng replied, offering a relieved bow before dashing out from the main hall.

"Xu Nian, just wait!" Shao Chengfeng muttered before directly crushing the Jade Bottle in his hand.
