Xu Nian was truly speechless.
He had thought that Luo Bing would come up with some kind of evidence.
It turned out that in the end, it was simply intuition.
Although a woman's intuition is often very accurate, this thing was ultimately very mystic.
Therefore, the control of the Evil Extermination Sword Array was still an unknown for Xu Nian.
Of course, since Penglai allowed outsiders to try, when they arrived at Penglai Island,
he would have a chance to attempt it.
After all, if he could master it, it would definitely add a killer move to his arsenal.
"Why do you want to kill the Sea Demon King?" Xu Nian asked in surprise.
Upon hearing Xu Nian's question, a chill suddenly surged across Luo Bing's face.
Then she said in an extremely cold voice, "Because he killed my parents. I have sworn since I was a child that I must take his head and eradicate the Sea King Palace."
Xu Nian wasn't too surprised by this.
In fact, it was just as he had guessed; the Luo Bing before him was also a pitiable person.
"So, for the sake of revenge, you are willing to pay any price?" Xu Nian asked with a cold laugh.
"Yes, as long as I can achieve my goal, I am willing to do whatever it takes," Luo Bing said coldly.
Xu Nian shook his head helplessly.
Then he said to Luo Bing, "I think if your parents knew, they definitely would not want you to live in hatred. It's okay to take revenge for your parents, but you have to live well. If you get hurt, even if your revenge is fulfilled, your parents won't be happy. I will try my best to help you with your revenge, and if successful, I do not want anything in return. You just need to live well. But if I fail, then there's nothing I can do."
After speaking, Xu Nian walked into the cabin, leaving Luo Bing alone on the deck.
Luo Bing stared at Xu Nian's back, her mind in a daze.
She hadn't expected Xu Nian to say such words.
Most men, upon seeing her, would harbor evil thoughts towards her.
However, this young man had a very clear gaze when he looked at her.
A gaze that none of the male disciples from Penglai possessed.
Luo Bing murmured the four words Xu Nian had just said, a wave of emotions stirring in her heart.
Because ever since her parents died, no one had ever said such words to her.
Over the years, all she had in her eyes were cultivation and the pursuit of vengeance.
Before seeking out Xu Nian, she had also struggled a lot.
She had imagined Xu Nian would make all sorts of unreasonable demands, but for the sake of revenge, she would agree to them.
Yet the actual outcome surprised her greatly.
"What kind of person is he?" Luo Bing wondered to herself.
For a moment, she became even more curious about Xu Nian's past.
Back in the cabin, Xu Nian plunged his entire consciousness into the Mud Ball Palace of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
There, a woman of unparalleled beauty was suspended in the air.
The woman, dressed in a black gown and with a face that could topple nations, radiated an extraordinarily graceful demeanor.
Indeed, this woman was Emperor Ye Tian.
Emperor Ye Tian had been in a coma for quite a long time.
She had yet to awaken.
Regarding this, Xu Nian had always been very worried.
Although Wentian Demon Sovereign had said that Emperor Ye Tian would be alright for the time being,
Xu Nian still felt uneasy.
"Senior, is there any way to help Emperor Ye Tian recover sooner?" Xu Nian asked.
"Kid, you might as well stop worrying about that for now. In this sealed continent, there is simply no treasure capable of affecting someone on her soul level. So, you should wait until you reach the real Cultivation World," replied Wentian Demon Sovereign.
Hearing this, Xu Nian sighed helplessly.
He took one last glance at Emperor Ye Tian, then withdrew from the Mud Ball Palace of the Undying Devouring Sky Beast.
Emperor Ye Tian was in this state because of him.
If Xu Nian couldn't heal Emperor Ye Tian, he would never be at peace in his heart.
In front of Xu Nian, Netherworld King's figure appeared.
At this moment, the golden color on Netherworld King's body had begun to fade, turning into a dark gold.
The bones exuded an even tougher quality.
Indeed, Netherworld King had also broken through to the Two-star Battle Emperor Realm.
Hundreds of tiger sharks had been completely consumed by him.
Thus, at this moment, it had made a significant breakthrough.
However, what surprised Xu Nian the most was the faint green glow emanating from the lotus mark between his brows.
"What exactly is the function of this lotus mark?"
Xu Nian wondered to himself.
He observed for a long time but couldn't discern the function of the lotus mark.
However, he was certain that its appearance
Must be related to the Dan Sea Species Green Lotus.
After studying for quite a while and still reaping no results,
Xu Nian could only give up.
In the end, Xu Nian was completely immersed in comprehending the Wind Attribute Profound Argumentation.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was daybreak.
And at the break of dawn, the Black Dragon Ship was nearing Penglai.
Xu Nian returned to the deck and looked at the island that was gradually enlarging in the distance.
A trace of astonishment appeared in his eyes.
This Penglai Island was even larger than he had imagined.
The entire island was covered with lush vegetation.
Above the island, a defensive light shield loomed.
Clearly, this was the super Defense Array of Penglai mentioned by Ji Tianlong.
Xu Nian could feel that this defensive light shield contained extremely strong force.
It was assumed that even a Peak Battle Emperor might not be able to break through this array.
"How about it, Brother Xu, our Penglai Defense Array isn't bad, right? This was left by our ancestors. He has long since gone to the Cultivation World, and by now, he has probably ascended to the Immortal Realm. It is said that this array can withstand attacks from any powerhouse below the Zifu level," Ji Tianlong introduced with pride to Xu Nian.
"It's very impressive," Xu Nian nodded and praised.
This Defense Array really was quite formidable.
"Brother Xu, I'll take you in later. If you're not one of the Penglai people, you can't enter the Great Formation," Ji Tianlong said again.
Xu Nian nodded his head.
Since he had come to Penglai, he naturally wanted to take a good look around.
After all, he had promised Luo Bing that he wanted to try the Evil Extermination Sword Array.
"Upper Immortal, what about us?" Zhang Peng and Li Tao quickly came forward to ask.
They had both come to Penglai to seek mentorship, and now that they heard Ji Tianlong's words, they were immediately anxious.
If they couldn't even enter the gates of Penglai, how could they find a mentor?
"You? If you want to join Penglai, go climb the Sky-locking Ladder yourselves. Once you've cleared the Sky-locking Ladder, someone will naturally welcome you," Ji Tianlong pointed to a giant mountain in the distance.
That was a peak outside of Penglai Island, atop which sat a colossal sky ladder reaching into the clouds.
And within the misty depths at the top of the mountain, a chain extended to a platform on Penglai Island.
One would have to first climb the sky ladder and then cross the chain to reach a platform in Penglai.
Don't think it's simple. Be aware that both the sky ladder and the chain are covered with formations.
If one fails to break through, they would meet their end.
Zhang Peng and Li Tao turned pale when they saw the sky ladder and iron chain.
They hadn't expected the trial of Penglai to be so difficult.
