Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1371: Immortal Realm Venomous Insects

Chapter 1371: Chapter 1371: Immortal Realm Venomous Insects
Next, Xu Nian chatted a few more words with the Immortal Sovereign Hall Saintess.
However, it was all about the enmity between him and the Saint Heir of the Immortal Sovereign Hall.
Of course, Xu Nian also subtly tried to learn a few things about Xuanyuan Qingling from her.
This Saintess was very evasive about matters regarding Xuanyuan Qingling. Even though Xu Nian asked very indirectly, the latter repeatedly warned him against pursuing the topic.
Helplessly, Jiang Han could only dispel the thought of further inquiry.
As for the issue of this Saint Heir of the Immortal Sovereign Hall.
Xu Nian also understood that this was a long-standing tradition of the Immortal Sovereign Hall, where ultimately only one between the Saintess and the Saint Heir could survive.
Whoever won would be the future leader of the Immortal Sovereign Hall.
It must be said that such a method is indeed cruel but undeniably effective.
Whether it is the Saint Heir or the Saintess of the Immortal Sovereign Hall, both have already reached the Luoxian Realm Peak at such a young age, with only a century of cultivation.
They can be said to far surpass their peers.
This time, the Saintess encountered a problem in her cultivation and needed to enter the forbidden ground of Divine Wind Valley to find an herb called Taiqing Grass.
This herb could restore the circulation of the Immortal Essence in her body, clearing the hidden injuries caused by her previous cultivation deviation.
It was precisely for this reason she risked herself to come here.
Initially, to prevent the news from leaking, she brought only a loyal Elder.
She chose to find people from outside and concealed her identity.
But since the other party had found her, it showed that her whereabouts had been exposed.
Originally, she thought she couldn’t escape this calamity, but Xu Nian’s intervention changed the situation.
If Xu Nian hadn’t slain that Peak of Profound Immortal and killed that Luoxian, breaking the deadlock.
If that Luoxian Realm expert had killed the twin brothers, it would have certainly led to the deaths of Lei Bing and Luo Yanxia together.
At that time, with several attackers, even if she didn’t die, she would have been seriously injured.
"Let’s continue our journey." The Saintess returned to the team and no longer concealed her appearance.
"Is the Saintess this beautiful?" Tong Han asked with some surprise.
"Indeed very beautiful, especially her aura; she is the most beautiful Fairy I’ve ever seen," Tong Cheng chimed in.
Lei Bing also agreed from the side.
In contrast, Luo Yanxia appeared significantly less impressive.
"Brother Xu, what do you think? Did the Saintess try to win you over?" Li Tian asked with a laugh as they returned to the team.
Xu Nian nodded.
"Brother Xu, actually, I didn’t say it, but you already knew I am from the Earth Immortal Sect. If you consider joining the Immortal Sovereign Hall, why not also think about our Earth Immortal Sect?" Li Tian said with a smile.
As expected, it was the Earth Immortal Sect.
Xu Nian wasn’t too surprised; Li Tian had previously hinted at it.
It was just revealed explicitly now.
"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Li. In fact, I also have something to disclose; I have already joined Shendang Mountain under the tutelage of the Taichu Immortal Emperor," Xu Nian said.
"The Taichu Immortal Emperor? You actually became his disciple?" Li Tian was shocked.
He never expected that Xu Nian had joined Shendang Mountain and became a disciple under the Taichu Immortal Emperor.
"Just a registered disciple, why? Brother Li, is there something special about the Taichu Immortal Emperor?" Xu Nian asked with curiosity.
"The Taichu Immortal Emperor is certainly among the top figures in the Immortal Realm, and it’s said that he is extremely formidable. Being accepted under his tutelage is indeed a blessing, but I’ve heard he is extremely strict, so your days might not be easy. However, you have already comprehended the First-grade Law, and it shouldn’t be long before you become an official disciple," Li Tian replied.
"Strict?" Xu Nian pondered in his heart.
He didn’t know much about the Taichu Immortal Emperor.
He only heard a bit from the Wentian Demon Sovereign, that the Taichu Immortal Emperor was formidable, very formidable.
Now, hearing Li Tian’s words, Xu Nian seemed to have a faint sense of anticipation for his Master.
However, for now, he still wanted to find a way to reach Shendang Mountain.
...
Soon, the group arrived at the outskirts of the forbidden area of Divine Wind Valley.
Here, the ground was littered with Immortal Skeletons.
The fierce winds howled, and poisonous miasma filled the air.
Yet, these skeletons remained imperishable over the millennia.
Even the Immortal Artifacts on the ground had weathered, but they remained as hard as iron.
"It’s said this forbidden ground is filled with poisonous barriers so deadly that even Luoxian Realm experts can be poisoned to death. There are also terrifying restrictions inside, and if triggered, the consequences would be dire," Tong Cheng said.
"The Divine Wind Valley forbidden ground is indeed very dangerous. Once, a Luoxian Realm expert perished inside, but it’s said that valuable treasures left by ancient Immortal Realm experts are hidden there, and the poisonous barriers are due to a demonic treasure," Luo Yanxia added.
"I only need the Taiqing Grass; everything else is yours," the Saintess stated directly.
Although those people’s strength was not as significant as hers.
But she needed them to scout the way.
After all, having more people was better than fewer.
"Let’s go in."
The white-haired Elder spoke.
He activated the Golden Light Pearl once more.
In the next moment, they stepped into the forbidden area of Divine Wind Valley.
Upon entering, Xu Nian and the others felt a strong suppression exerted on them.
As if an invisible giant mountain was pressing directly on them.
"A gravity restriction?" Xu Nian asked with surprise.
"Yes, it’s a gravity restriction. There are many such restrictions in the Earth Immortal Sect, usually used to aid cultivation. The gravity restriction here has been enhanced to ten thousand times, making it difficult even for those at the Heavenly Immortal Realm to fly," Li Tian explained.
"Under such terrifying gravity, battle power would suffer greatly," Luo Yanxia added.
"Everyone be careful. The Golden Light Pearl can only ward off poison barriers; it might not stop those poisonous insects and ants," the white-haired Elder warned.
Just as he finished speaking.
A grain-sized poisonous insect broke through the Golden Light Pearl, piercing Lei Bing’s shoulder directly.
"Poof!"
Lei Bing spat out a mouthful of blood.
In the next moment, his entire face turned black.
"Not good, he’s been poisoned by the Iron Armor Worm."
Luo Yanxia was horrified and quickly distanced herself from Lei Bing.
Lei Bing struggled, seeking help.
But it was already too late.
His entire body turned completely black, and eventually, he fell, utterly losing his life.
"Is this Iron Armor Worm so formidable?" Xu Nian asked in shock.
He just saw a flash of light, and within three breaths, Lei Bing was already dead.
And he was a strong warrior at the Peak of Profound Immortal.
"Iron Armor Worm is a terrifying poisonous insect in the Immortal Realm with extreme toxicity, even Luoxian cannot easily escape death if hit. The Iron Armor Worm flies fast and has formidable impact, generally capable of piercing Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts," Li Tian explained.
"Capable of piercing Top-Grade Immortal Artifacts?" Xu Nian was shocked.
The poisonous insects of the Immortal Realm were indeed so formidable.
He had only heard them say how dangerous the Divine Wind Valley forbidden ground was, but now he truly realized the horror of this place.
