Divine King of Honour

Xu Nian saw Little Zhu Yan nod.

His face immediately showed a joyful expression.

It seemed that this trip really hadn't been in vain; he had finally found a lead concerning Yann Xi.

"Then can you tell me where she is? Is she okay?" Xu Nian asked excitedly.

"Sister Yann Xi is fine; she's really nice, and kind and beautiful. But she's always busy with her cultivation. My dad won't even let me see her, so I sneaked out to the outer skirts to play," said the little monkey with a wronged expression on his face.

"Eh? Cultivation? The Red Fire Zhu Yan that took her away is your dad?" Xu Nian asked, surprised.

"Yes, in the whole Demon Beast Forest, only me and my dad's true body are Red Fire Zhu Yans. My dad is a personal guard to the Demon Emperor, and it was my dad who brought Sister Yann Xi back?" the monkey said, eyes sparkling.

Hearing this, Xu Nian understood.

It seemed his guess had been correct; this Little Zhu Yan was deeply connected to the Zhu Yan that had taken away Yann Xi.

The elder by their side, upon hearing the conversation between Xu Nian and Little Zhu Yan, immediately understood what was going on.

"So your sister is that girl?" the elder asked, looking at Xu Nian.

"That's right. Senior, you know of Yann Xi?" Xu Nian asked, puzzled.

"Of course I know her. How could I not know someone who has been taken in as a disciple by Lord Beast God himself, aside from the Beast Emperor?" the elder said with a smile.

"Lord Beast God?" Xu Nian looked surprised.

How had he become even more confused?

Seeing Xu Nian's expression, the elder said with a smile, "If you're looking for Yann Xi, you needn't worry. Not only is she fine, she's doing very well. As for Lord Beast God, he is the true master of our Demon Beast Forest, a supreme being of the highest regard. Sit down, and I'll explain it all slowly."

The elder waved his sleeve, and a chair, completely grown from tree roots, appeared behind Xu Nian.

Xu Nian didn't stand on ceremony and immediately took a seat.

"What exactly is going on? How did my sister become a disciple of Lord Beast God?" Xu Nian pressed.

The elder smiled and continued, "You must know that there are several realms above that of Battle Emperor, correct?"

Xu Nian nodded.

Above the Battle Emperor are six realms in total: Zifu, Cave Void, Harmonization, Wanxiang, Tribulation Crossing, Earth Immortal.

Above the Body Emperor are divided into: Vajra, Heavenly Phenomenon, Heavenly Gang, Heavenly King, Gang Tribulation, Gang Immortal.

Once one breaks through the Battle Emperor Level, it will be an entirely new realm of cultivation.

"Actually, Lord Beast God is a strong being above the Battle Emperor Level, and furthermore, he has reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage of cultivation," the elder said.

"Tribulation Crossing?"

Xu Nian's eyes widened in sheer astonishment.

What kind of power was the Transcendance Tribulation Stage?

Xu Nian only knew that killing a Battle Emperor was as easy as snapping one's fingers for a master of the Zifu Realm.

Now, he had been told that Lord Beast God was actually a transcendent being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage.

This time, Xu Nian suddenly felt a chill down his spine.

He had previously thought that after breaking through to the Emperor Level and venturing into the Demon Beast Forest, there wouldn't be any problems.

Even if he couldn't win a fight, escaping wouldn't be difficult.

But now, hearing the elder's words, he wasn't so sure any longer.

A transcendent being at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage was several realms above him.

Such a being was like comparing a Warrior with a Battle Emperor.

"In fact, you shouldn't be surprised. The continent you are on is far more complex than you think, and there are not a few strong beings beyond the Battle Emperor Level. There are very few who can match Lord Beast God. Therefore, it's a good thing for your sister to have become Lord Beast God's disciple," the elder said, smiling.

"That's right, since Sister Yann Xi came to the Demon Beast Forest, her cultivation has rapidly advanced. She has reached the Peak of Battle King, and I'm no match for her now," Little Zhu Yan piped in.

Xu Nian was astounded.

Peak of Battle King? Yann Xi's cultivation was advancing that quickly?

Didn't that mean she was not far from the Holy Realm?

"Senior, then can you take me to see my sister?" Xu Nian asked the elder.

The elder shook his head and said, "Although I am a Demon Emperor, my status in the Demon Beast Forest is not high, let alone seeing the apprentice of the Beast God himself, it's even difficult to get an audience with the Beast Emperor. I'm afraid I can't help you with your request."

Xu Nian frowned upon hearing this.

"Yes, I haven't seen Sister Yann Xi for a long time either. My dad won't even let me meet her," Little Zhu Yan followed up.

Xu Nian frowned upon hearing this.

It's true that Yann Xi might indeed have been taken as an apprentice by the Beast God they mentioned.

But he was still somewhat uneasy.

Unless he could see Yann Xi with his own eyes.

"Buzz!"

All of a sudden, the elder's body trembled, and his expression became grave.

Xu Nian frowned because he felt a strong soul fluctuation.

"You are Xu Nian?"

The elder suddenly turned to look at Xu Nian and asked.

"Yes, my name is Xu Nian," Xu Nian responded, perplexed.

Hearing Xu Nian's words, the elder's expression immediately turned serious.

He knelt down in front of Xu Nian.

"Senior, what are you doing?" Xu Nian hurried forward to help the elder up.

"Lord Xu Nian, please forgive my earlier disrespect. I did not know that you are the esteemed guest Xu Nian whom the Beast God had instructed us about," said the elder, his face filled with trepidation.

"What? The Beast God knows me?" Xu Nian was even more astonished.

Last time at Dragon Vein Land, those three Demon Saints were the same.

And now this Demon Emperor in front of him acted the same way.

This really left Xu Nian baffled.

"I know you have many questions, sir, but let me first take you to see the Beast Emperor. Then, everything will be explained to you," said the elder.

Xu Nian, although full of mysteries, nodded all the same.

If he wasn't wrong, that strong soul fluctuation just now must have been the Beast Emperor using Soul Transmission to communicate with the elder.

As to why it couldn't have been the Beast God, that was because of Xu Nian's soul level.

Even if the Beast God transmitted a message, he wouldn't have been able to detect it.

Next, the elder was about to lead Xu Nian deep into the Demon Beast Forest.

However, Xu Nian asked the elder to wait a moment.

He went back to Zhao Qingqing's side.

By this time, Zhao Qingqing had also recovered from her previous daze.

But facing Xu Nian again, she seemed somewhat at a loss.

"Go back, it's very dangerous here," Xu Nian said to Zhao Qingqing.

Zhao Qingqing nodded.

Xu Nian then had the elder call upon a Demon Saint to directly escort Zhao Qingqing out of the wild monster forest.

Zhao Qingqing, although somewhat reluctant, also knew the gap between herself and Xu Nian.

It was destined that nothing could happen between the two of them.

After sending away Zhao Qingqing, Xu Nian followed the elder and Little Zhu Yan towards the deepest part of this wilderness.

Xu Nian was curious about the Beast Emperor mentioned by the elder.

He wanted to see what kind of person he was.

And that mysterious and powerful Beast God as well.
