Divine King of Honour

Next, Xu Nian and his group of five continued their journey deeper into the ancestral land.

The ancestral land was fraught with danger, crisis after crisis.

In the process of traveling, Xu Nian and his companions encountered a pack of Gray Blood Mo Wolves.

The Gray Blood Mo Wolves were very powerful, the weakest among them possessing the strength of a Three-star Martial Sect Level.

There was even a Gray Blood Demon Wolf King among them, which had reached the One-star Battle General Level.

However, it was this pack of no fewer than fifty Gray Blood Mo Wolves, that was wiped out by Xu Nian alone in a direct assault.

Xu Nian, by himself, charged into the pack, like a tiger among wolves.

His arms covered in Blood Dragon Scale Armor, he tore one Mo Wolf after another to shreds.

Under Xu Nian's Iron Fist, the bodies of these Mo Wolves were as fragile as tofu, easily blown apart.

Even the Mo Wolf King, when it attacked, was bisected by Xu Nian with a single strike.

For a while, Mo Wolf limbs and remains covered the prairie, with blood reddening a vast area.

Zhao Yanyun and the others watched, dumbfounded; the creature before them was a veritable human-shaped Fierce Beast, terrifyingly ferocious.

However, Xu Nian was not invincible; along the way they encountered an Earth Fierce Bear at the Three-star Battle General Level.

The Earth Fierce Bear was too terrifying; with a single punch, it could shatter an entire hill.

Xu Nian was no match for it, and faced with this giant beast standing ten meters tall, he could only retreat.

Beyond that, there were the Poison King Bees.

The Poison King Bees weren't high-level, possessing only Warrior Level strength, but their numbers were in the hundreds of millions.

A single Poison King Bee might not be lethal, but the combined venom of a thousand could kill a Demon Beast at the Peak of Battle General.

Fortunately, Xu Nian and his companions discovered them in time and did not disturb them; otherwise, they might have indeed perished in this ancestral land.

After roughly three days of traveling, Xu Nian and his party finally reached the edge of the deep parts of the ancestral land.

"Just ahead is the deep part of this ancestral land, and it will probably get even more dangerous," said Zhao Yanyun with a grave expression as he looked towards the increasingly desolate land ahead.

Everyone's expression was solemn; the closer they got to the depths of the ancestral land, the more oppressive the atmosphere became.

"Why do I have a chilling feeling?" Chen An said, shivering.

"This ancestral land is where our Chen Family Ancestors were buried before they died. It is said that the spirits of Saints cannot be reborn after death, and will turn into Yin Spirits that linger in the world, so..." Chen Yao said with slightly furrowed brows.

"Stop talking about it!" Chen An immediately interrupted, his face already pale with fright. Your next journey awaits at My Virtual Library Empire

Chen Wudi looked at him with disdain in his eyes.

Xu Nian also showed a helpless, wry smile.

In truth, these so-called Yin Spirits did not exist; it was merely that the Spiritual Sense of all powerful Saints didn't dissipate after their physical deaths.

Of course, the Spiritual Sense of a Saint couldn't remain in the world forever unless it was exceedingly powerful; otherwise, it would dissipate into the air after a few years or decades.

The Chen Family Ancestors had been dead for so many years, how could their Spiritual Senses still linger in this world?

"There's no need to be afraid, the Spiritual Sense of Saints should have already dissipated. Even if it truly existed, it would not be capable of attack. We should continue forward..." Xu Nian reassured.

However, Xu Nian stopped talking halfway and stared in shock at the large rock beside him.

"What's wrong?" everyone asked in puzzled concern.

Xu Nian, however, paid no attention to the others and was fixated on the large rock ahead.

There, an elderly man with white hair was sitting very conspicuously, his eyes squinted as he stroked his beard, looking at Xu Nian and his companions with a smile.

But the elderly man's body was not solid; it was ethereal.

"Who are you?" Xu Nian asked reflexively.

As soon as he spoke, the elder didn't react much, but Chen An and the others beside him were scared out of their wits.

"Holy shit, bro, don't scare me, where is anyone here?" Chen Wudi was also frightened by Xu Nian, asking with a face full of fear.

"Yeah, boss Xu Nian, scaring people can really scare them to death." Chen An said with a face full of horror.

Chen Yao was so frightened that she lost all color and hid behind Zhao Yanyun.

Only Zhao Yanyun remained somewhat calm, but her complexion wasn't much better as she asked doubtfully, "Did you see something?"

"Hmm, an elder, don't be afraid, I'll have a chat with him." Xu Nian gestured to everyone not to be afraid.

However, the other four became even more terrified upon hearing Xu Nian's words.

Holy crap, there really are Yin Spirits, really what we feared has come upon us!

"Young man, can you see me?" The elder said with a smile, upon hearing Xu Nian's words.

However, these words were only audible to Xu Nian, because only he had activated his Spiritual Sense among those present.

Clearly, the elder was in a soul state now, and naturally invisible to the others.

"Without hiding anything from the elder, I have indeed activated my Spiritual Sense and therefore can perceive your presence." Xu Nian respectfully communicated back with sound transmission.

He had seen the Divine Soul of the Emperor Ye Tian, so how could he be afraid of a Saint's Spiritual Sense?

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, a look of surprise appeared on the elder's face, followed by an approving nod, "To activate Spiritual Sense at such a young age, truly far beyond what normal geniuses are capable of, lad, you must not be a descendant of the Chen Family, are you from the Four Great Families?"

"None of the above, I'm brothers with Chen Wudi, a descendant of the Chen Family. The Family Head, Chen Tiansheng, asked me to accompany him here, hoping he could inherit the legacy of the Star Battle Emperor." Xu Nian spoke truthfully.

If he guessed correctly, the person before him was likely an ancient ancestor of the Chen Family.

"Oh? The inheritance of the Star Ancestor is not so easy to obtain, unless one possesses the Star Battle Body." The elder shook his head.

"Elder, please take a look at this descendant of yours." Xu Nian said with a smile, pointing at Chen Wudi.

Upon hearing this, the elder looked toward Chen Wudi, and his face immediately showed a look of surprise.

"Eh, it's really the Star Battle Body, I didn't expect our Chen Family to reproduce this physique after thousands of years." The elder's figure moved and he instantly appeared in front of Chen Wudi.

The elder's face was filled with surprise and delight.

Chen Wudi suddenly felt a bone-chilling cold enveloping him, yet he could see nothing.

Helpless, he could only look towards Xu Nian for help with a pathetic expression.

Xu Nian gave him a reassuring look.

Only then did Chen Wudi feel somewhat relieved. However, the thought of an invisible Yin Spirit around him still made his skin crawl.

Chen An had long been scared pale, crouching at the very back and not daring to speak.

"Young man, obtaining the inheritance of the Star Ancestor is not easy, but rest assured, I will help you to the best of my ability." The elder spoke very seriously and earnestly.

Xu Nian immediately felt joy at this, with the elder's assistance, they would definitely avoid many dangers.

"Shall we continue on our way?" Xu Nian asked, after having a brief exchange with the elder, turning to address everyone.

"Has that elder left?" Chen Yao asked cautiously.

Zhao Yanyun and Chen Wudi, as well as the others, were all looking at Xu Nian earnestly, as they were very concerned about this question.

Xu Nian, however, just smiled and briefly mentioned the elder's decision to accompany them.

Both Chen Wudi and Chen Yao's mouths twitched, Chen An nearly fainted from fright, and even Zhao Yanyun felt cold all over.

"Look at the guts you have, and you're Cultivators?" Xu Nian half-jokingly scolded them.

All four glared at Xu Nian with contempt, all secretly cursing in their hearts, "Damn, if we could see like you, we wouldn't be scared either!"

Knowing there's something around you that you can't see is an uncomfortable feeling for anyone.

Xu Nian could only shrug his shoulders and smirked smugly.

His smug expression irritated the other four to the point where their teeth itched.
