When Xu Nian walked out of the Chaos Divine Palace, his entire demeanor had undergone a colossal transformation.

Now, although he was still at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level,

it was evident that his aura was more domineering and authoritative than before.

"Huh, why do I feel like your demeanor has completely changed?" The Lei Family Ancestor, upon seeing Xu Nian, immediately showed a look of surprise.

Tang Wu and the Dean of Moyang Sword Academy also curiously looked at Xu Nian.

They all sensed a dangerous aura from Xu Nian, a danger imbued with unfathomable depths.

"Have you broken through the Great Tao True Intent again?" the Dean of Moyang Sword Academy asked.

"No, I’m still just newly entered at the First Level Realm," Xu Nian replied with a smile. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

After he broke through the Boundaryless Realm, his whole body exuded a Boundaryless Domain.

It was precisely this Boundaryless Domain that made the Dean of Moyang Sword Academy and others feel a strong sense of crisis.

Hence, they felt his demeanor had changed dramatically.

Xu Nian thought for a moment and decided to restrain his Boundaryless Realm.

Thus, his demeanor returned to its original state.

"It seems like you’ve made quite a breakthrough recently, what new divine skill have you mastered?" The Lei Family Ancestor’s eyes lit up when he saw Xu Nian’s restrained demeanor.

Now, even he, a Divine-level Expert, found it almost impossible to see through this guy in front of him.

"Senior, shall we go? The Netherworld God Temple assessment should be starting soon, right?" Xu Nian said.

"Yes, today is the day for the Netherworld God Temple’s registration, let’s go, I’ll take you there," Tang Wu said.

"Okay, thank you, Senior," Xu Nian expressed his gratitude.

"I’m not going. If you fail the assessment, you’re welcome at my place," the Dean of Moyang Sword Academy remarked.

Xu Nian smiled and then left with Tang Wu and the Lei Family Ancestor.

With a teleport, they arrived directly outside Tianbei City.

Due to the protective prohibition within the city, they couldn’t teleport directly inside.

Just as they reached the city gate, Xu Nian felt a fierce aura.

He turned to look in one direction and saw a middle-aged man carrying a massive sword looking coldly towards them.

However, the man’s gaze was mainly focused on Tang Wu and the Lei Family Ancestor.

"That person is named Baili Chengfeng, a Divine-level Expert of the loose cultivators, mastering the Earth Attribute Great Tao True Intent, especially his heavy sword techniques, which are very powerful," Tang Wu explained to Xu Nian.

"Baili Chengfeng? Earth Attribute Great Tao True Intent? Heavy sword?" Xu Nian envisioned a man wielding a heavy sword, cleaving the earth with a single strike.

This middle-aged man in front of him was definitely not easy to deal with.

"I didn’t expect there to be so many Divine-level experts in Qing State City? Is the Netherworld God Temple that appealing?" Xu Nian curiously asked.

"Of course, it’s very appealing. You know, the Netherworld God Temple is a place many Divine-level experts dream of because there, you can get the most top-notch resources and practice in the temple, where you can quickly comprehend the Great Tao Realm from the writings of ancient powerful beings," Tang Wu said.

Xu Nian instantly understood.

Entering the Netherworld God Temple would provide faster cultivation resources.

It is precisely these resources that drive the Divine-level experts to flock eagerly.

Xu Nian and the others continued to walk into the city, where many people had already gathered.

Even though the assessment was only for some Divine-level experts, many people chose to come here and watch the spectacle.

The population of Tianbei City had increased tenfold compared to usual.

Walking down the street, Xu Nian could easily spot several Nether Emperors and Netherworld Venerates.

Occasionally, he could also see one or two Divine-level experts.

"The assessment of the Netherworld God Temple is held at the central square of Tianbei City, let’s go," Tang Wu said.

Xu Nian nodded and followed.

Soon, the three arrived at the central square of Tianbei City.

At this moment, the square was already surrounded by many people.

In the center of the city square stood twelve people.

These individuals included men and women, old and young.

However, all of them exuded extremely terrifying auras.

Among them, ten were Divine-level experts, and only two were at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level.

The Divine-level expert with a massive sword seen at the city gate was among them.

Xu Nian surveyed the area and found that these Divine-level experts seemed quite extraordinary.

Especially the three young people standing at the forefront, two men and one woman, from whom Xu Nian sensed a dangerous aura.

Xu Nian could be sure these three were from Futu Mountain, as Senior Tang Wu mentioned.

Moreover, the distance people around them maintained showed their extraordinary strength.

"There are actually ten Divine-level experts, it seems the difficulty of your assessment this time will be quite significant," Tang Wu said.

"Indeed, it will be quite significant. Boy, don’t push yourself too hard if you can’t make it," the Lei Family Ancestor advised.

Xu Nian just smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

The Lei Family Ancestor knew that his advice wouldn’t work, so he said no more.

Xu Nian also didn’t say much and walked towards the center of the square.

As Xu Nian stepped out, he heard many people around discussing.

"Huh, another one? This is the thirteenth, right? So young, could he be a Divine-level expert as well?" someone in the crowd asked in disbelief.

"Doesn’t seem like it, he doesn’t have that kind of divine aura," someone immediately replied.

"He’s indeed not a Divine-level, just at the Nether Emperor Perfection Level. At this level, he can’t even pass the basic assessment," a Nether Emperor Level expert assessed Xu Nian’s cultivation and said aloud.

Besides those watching, all twelve participants also looked towards Xu Nian.

When they saw that Xu Nian was only at the Nether Emperor level, they all showed expressions of disdain.

Especially the ten Divine-level experts, who seemed not to take Xu Nian seriously at all.

As for the two Nether Emperor Perfection Level experts, they were a bit friendlier, feeling like they found a kindred spirit, and smiled at Xu Nian.

One young man even approached Xu Nian and greeted him, "I’m Huo Qiu, from Beiwang Mountain, what’s your name, brother?"

"Xu Fenn!" Xu Nian replied calmly.

He didn’t expect this young man to engage him in conversation.

"So, it’s Brother Xu Fenn. Are you here because your elders sent you for training? At our level, passing the assessment is unlikely, but the experience isn’t bad," the young man said with a smile.

Xu Nian chuckled wryly in his heart.

It turned out this fellow was talking to him because they were in the same pitiful situation, just here to go through the motions.

"I’m not here for training; I truly want to join the Netherworld God Temple," Xu Nian stated earnestly.

"Brother Xu Fenn, don’t joke around. Passing the assessment without reaching the Divine level is harder than climbing to the heavens. Just let it go," Huo Qiu immediately shook his head, seeing Xu Nian’s words as a joke.

Xu Nian smiled slightly and did not argue further.

Some things are meaningless to discuss at length.

The Divine-level experts who saw Xu Nian chatting with Huo Qiu were even more dismissive.
