Divine King of Honour-Chapter 730: Dark God Island
Xu Nian and Xuan Hong were soon brought to the Xuanwu Palace.
As for Xuan Hong and Xu Nian, they were naturally treated as honored guests.
Emperor Xuanwu even wanted to offer his dragon throne to Xuan Hong.
But it was declined by Xuan Hong.
Xuan Hong had no desire to become Emperor Xuanwu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have left the Forbidden Sea and headed to the Tianhen Continent years ago.
Emperor Xuanwu came to understand Xuan Hong's intentions.
He didn't insist any further.
After that, Xuan Hong talked with Emperor Xuanwu for quite some time.
Xu Nian, standing by, also gained a certain understanding of Emperor Xuanwu.
It turned out that Emperor Xuanwu's name was Xuan Feng.
He was an Earth Attribute cultivator, a comprehender of the Earth Power Profound Argumentation.
He was like that Duan Tianya.
Both had taken the pathway of strength.
And given Emperor Xuanwu's own formidable power,
the Earth Power Profound Argumentation was exceedingly apt for him.
Judging by Emperor Xuanwu's strength,
his comprehension of the Power of Earth had reached the Initial Peak or even the Small Achievement Realm.
In this regard, Xu Nian was far behind Emperor Xuanwu.
"By the way, great-grandfather, the Dark God Island Master is going to hold his eight-thousandth birthday celebration in two days and has invited me to participate. Why don't you come along with me? After it ends, we can then head to the Cultivation World," said Emperor Xuanwu.
"Dark God Island Master?" Before Xuan Hong could respond, Xu Nian on the side expressed his surprise.
Previously, Xu Yu and the others had mentioned to him,
saying that if Xu Nian ever left the Tianhen Continent, he must make a trip to the Dark God Island.
Who would have thought that the Dark God Island Master was about to celebrate his eight-thousandth birthday?
"Yes, the Dark God Island Master is, you can say, the ruler of our Forbidden Sea. His eightieth grand birthday will see the Sea Demon Emperors from the Four Great Sea Clans coming to celebrate. Besides attending the celebration, this also relates to the ownership issue of the Jade Spirit Fruit," said Emperor Xuanwu.
"Jade Spirit Fruit? Is it that kind of fruit that, when consumed, can enhance the Spiritual Energy reserve in one's Dantian without breaking through one's cultivation realm?" asked Xu Nian, continuing to inquire.
He had heard the Sea Demon King mention this Jade Spirit Fruit before.
Since entering the Forbidden Sea, he had always wanted to see what this fruit was like.
But having been in the depths of the sea for so long, he hadn't found anything.
"Indeed, this Jade Spirit Fruit is a peculiar fruit of our Forbidden Sea. Once ingested, it can expand the Dantian and enhance strength without breaking through the Zifu, enabling the accumulation of more Spiritual Energy, surpassing the strength of an ordinary Battle Emperor Level warrior," Emperor Xuanwu replied.
Xu Nian nodded.
Like the Shark Emperor before, his comprehension was clearly only at the Zifu level, yet his strength was at the Pseudo Heavenly Phenomenon Level of the Supreme Battle Emperor.
It was these Spirit Fruits that had expanded their Dantians,
allowing their strength to be enhanced from the foundation.
Clearly, Emperor Xuanwu was no exception.
"So where do these Jade Spirit Fruits grow, and why does the Dark God Island Master decide their ownership?" Xu Nian asked again.
"You must have already passed that Heavenly Pit on your way here. Because the Spiritual Energy there is richest, the Jade Spirit Fruits grow there. However, it's not easy to enter. Only those with the Token personally granted by the Dark God Island Master can enter and harvest the Spirit Fruits. The fruits ripen once every ten years, so every decade, the ownership of this Token is decided by the Dark God Island," Emperor Xuanwu explained.
"I see." Xu Nian nodded in realization.
Unexpectedly, the Jade Spirit Fruits grew in that dark, terrifying cave.
Indeed, a terrifying power permeated within that cave.
If the strength isn't strong, one would likely be unable to reach the depths of that cave.
"Dark God Island, how is the ownership of the Token decided?" Xuan Hong also spoke up and asked.
"Each time the ownership is determined, the Dark God Island Master will pose a question, and whoever can answer it will gain ownership of the Token," Emperor Xuanwu replied.
Xu Nian nodded his head.
With this, the whole matter was almost clear.
It seemed that the Dark God Island Master's 8,000th birthday celebration coincided with the decade period for the Jade Spirit Fruit's ownership.
Therefore, in two days' time, Dark God Island would surely be bustling with excitement.
"Alright, Emperor Xuanwu, we will join you on Dark God Island in two days," Xu Nian said to Emperor Xuanwu.
Emperor Xuanwu was immediately delighted and looked towards Xuan Hong.
Xuan Hong nodded in agreement as well.
He was following Xu Nian's lead.
Where Xu Nian would go, naturally he would follow. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Xu Nian, however, fell into contemplation.
Initially, the Dark God Island Master had saved Xu Yu and Black Wind's lives.
Now that it was the Dark God Island Master's birthday, how could he not prepare a birthday gift?
But what should he prepare?
Ordinary items would not catch the Dark God Island Master's eye.
As for precious treasures,
he didn't have any to offer.
"Kid, are you worrying about what gift to give to the Dark God Island Master?" Just then, the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign echoed in Xu Nian's mind.
"Senior Wentian, you've come at the right time, can you help me think of something?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.
"Humph, it's simple, why not just gift him an Immortal Law, as a high-level practitioner at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, is he not hiding here for fear of the Heavenly Tribulation? You might as well give him a secret technique that enhances defense," Wentian Demon Sovereign said indifferently.
Xu Nian's eyes lit up and immediately felt that Wentian Demon Sovereign made sense.
But defense secret techniques, he didn't have any?
"Kid, I already knew what you were going to say, take this, this defensive secret technique, Immortal Law, is of no use to me," the voice of Wentian Demon Sovereign sounded.
After he spoke, Xu Nian felt a vast amount of information flooding into his mind.
"Dark Elemental Shield Technique? It can condense a Dark Elemental Shield to withstand an attack ten times greater than one's own strength? There's such a powerful secret technique, Senior Wentian, why didn't you take it out earlier?" Xu Nian said in surprise.
"You never asked me for it, isn't this the perfect occasion to teach you, so you can also use it as a gift?" Wentian Demon Sovereign replied carelessly.
Xu Nian was instantly overjoyed, then took out a Jade Scroll and inscribed all the information into it.
A Jade Scroll is an object capable of storing information.
Xu Nian had found this in the storage ring of the Shark Emperor.
With this Jade Scroll, his gift dilemma was resolved.
He believed that the Dark God Island Master would be extremely pleased to receive this treasure.
Although the secret technique could only be used once,
it was without a doubt equivalent to an additional life-saving talisman.
"Brother Xu Nian, I've noticed your strength is not negligible, I wonder if we could spar and exchange knowledge about the control of power?" Emperor Xuanwu suddenly spoke to Xu Nian.
"Of course, I would also like to discuss the Earth Power Profound Argumentation with Brother Xuan Feng," Xu Nian replied with a smile.
"Let's go to the training ground!" Emperor Xuanwu was immediately pleased.
He then led Xu Nian out of the great hall.
Xuan Hong, equally curious, quickly followed them.
