Divine King of Honour

After a grueling journey of three days,

Xu Nian finally arrived at a port city near East Sea City.

East Sea City.

Since Penglai is more than three thousand nautical miles away from land,

even a Battle Emperor Expert could not fly there in one breath.

Along the way, one needs a place to rest and accumulate Spiritual Energy.

Although it is close to shore, there are still powerful Sea Demons lurking in the waters.

Hence, the best choice to reach Penglai is to take a ship.

Moreover, as Xu Nian understood,

there are special ships in East Sea for going out to sea.

These ships have Formations on them that grant them great speed,

even comparable to the pace of a Battle Saint Level expert.

It only takes about five days to reach Penglai.

Although Emperor-level strong men can travel faster than these ships,

Emperor-level strong men also need to stop midway to rest and replenish the expended Spiritual Energy.

All things considered, it would also take nearly five days.

Since the time taken is the same, Xu Nian naturally chose to take a ship, which was a way to save energy.

The only issue is that the cost of sailing on such a ship is quite expensive.

For one sea voyage, a person needs to spend nearly a hundred million Gold Coins.

And these ships are only available at the East Sea Trading Company in East Sea City.

Thus, very few people are willing to spend such an enormous amount of money to travel on these ships.

But Xu Nian didn't care.

Not to mention a hundred million Gold Coins, he could even afford a hundred billion Gold Coins.

He had killed so many Holy Level and Emperor Level experts, including a few from the Imperial Family.

The Gold Coins in their storage rings were stacked like mountains.

Although Xu Nian never counted them, he was certain,

that all these Gold Coins together were absolutely more than a hundred billion.

One hundred billion, such a frightening amount.

It was not far behind the wealth accumulated by the number one commerce house in the world.

So spending one hundred million Gold Coins was of no concern to Xu Nian.

As long as he could save Xu Yu, even if he had to give away all his Gold Coins, he would be willing.

Xu Nian entered East Sea City and headed towards East Sea Trading Company.

East Sea Trading Company controlled all the commercial economic lifelines near the entire coastline of East Sea.

From the sale of Sea Demon Demon Cores of Emperor Level to the fishing of ordinary fishing boats, East Sea Trading Company was in control.

Therefore, as long as it is affairs on the East Sea and one can afford the price, East Sea Trading Company will get it done for you.

Naturally, traveling to Penglai Island was also a service offered by East Sea Trading Company.

East Sea Trading Company was situated at the heart of East Sea City.

The entire building of the company was quite grand.

The building was divided into three Levels.

Each Level served customers of different statuses.

The first level generally only admitted ordinary businessmen and low-level Cultivators.

To enter the second level, one must possess a VIP Token from the company.

Generally, those holding such Tokens had high status and power.

As for the third Level, that was entirely reserved for highly esteemed existences.

Usually not open to the public.

It is said that only Diamond VIP customers could set foot there.

And to become a Diamond VIP, aside from having a significant amount of transactions with the company, one also needed to reach at least the Holy Level in Cultivation.

Xu Nian was uninterested in all this; he just wanted to take a ship out to sea as soon as possible.

So he directly stepped into the first floor lobby of East Sea Trading Company.

It had to be said, East Sea Trading Company was indeed bustling with activity.

Within the trade hall, which was no less than a thousand square meters, many people were standing.

These people were all chatting with the personnel inside the company.

Xu Nian, however, came in front of a counter.

A young woman in her twenties, beautiful at that, was truly handling the accounts in her hands. Upon Xu Nian's approach, she had no intention of looking up.

"Excuse me, where can I board a ship to head out to sea?" Seeing that the woman did not look up, Xu Nian did not get angry and simply asked.

"Over there, there's a special place for registering to go out to sea," the woman said, pointing in a direction, without lifting her head.

Xu Nian looked in the direction the woman pointed.

There was indeed a counter there, marked with the names of several island destinations for ship registrations.

However, among these islands, Penglai was not listed.

These islands were inhabited.

Therefore, it was common for merchants to travel to these islands to trade goods.

The woman clearly mistook him for such a person.

"I'm sorry, but the places listed are not where I wish to go. Is there another registration point?" Xu Nian asked.

"Where do you want to go?" the woman asked, her impatience evident from her furrowed brow.

However, she still did not lift her head.

"Penglai!" Xu Nian said, quite decisively.

Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the woman's body finally stiffened, and she lifted her head to look at Xu Nian.

Xu Nian was also staring at the woman.

It had to be said that this woman was indeed quite attractive.

She appeared to be about twenty-four years old and her cultivation was notably high.

She had reached the ranks of a One-star Battle General.

To have achieved Battle General Level at her age, her talent was certainly noteworthy.

"You want to go to Penglai?" the woman asked uncertainly.

The surrounding crowd began to look at Xu Nian upon hearing the woman's question, their eyes carrying a strange expression.

"Yes!" Xu Nian nodded earnestly in confirmation.

Although he did not understand why the crowd's gaze had become so odd.

Whatever the reason, he was determined to go.

"Do you know how much it costs to travel to Penglai?" the woman asked again, seeing that Xu Nian was not joking.

"I do, one billion Gold Coins," Xu Nian stated, tossing a prepared unclaimed storage ring in front of the woman.

After inspecting it, the woman's face showed surprise.

Because inside the storage ring, there really were one billion Gold Coins.

"Please follow me," she said.

After giving Xu Nian another look, the woman led him toward the second floor.

A youth under twenty years old, able to present one billion Gold Coins – his background must be extraordinary.

Therefore, the woman immediately took Xu Nian to be the scion of some major power.

"This kid dares to go to Penglai, does he have a death wish?"

"Who knows, maybe he really is confident?"

"How could it be? Everyone wants to enter Penglai, but the requirements are too stringent. I heard the last group was a hundred highly talented young nobles, and yet all of them died."

...

The surrounding talk was incessant.

These words naturally reached Xu Nian's ears.

Finally, Xu Nian understood why people looked at him so strangely.

It turned out they considered him someone trying to go to Penglai to seek apprenticeship and skills.

Yet, Xu Nian was somewhat astonished.

The people mentioned that a hundred geniuses went last time.

Yet, to Xu Nian's knowledge, not many people would go to Penglai in a year.

How could there suddenly be so many?

But Xu Nian did not have time to ponder further, as led by the young woman, he arrived at the second floor.

The number of people on this floor was obviously much fewer.

However, the decoration and layout of the second floor were more lavish and grandiose than those on the first floor.

"Elder Yu, this guest wishes to travel to Penglai."

The young woman had walked up to an old man at the edge of the hall on the second floor and spoke.

Upon hearing this, the elder was momentarily taken aback, then turned his attention to Xu Nian.

Xu Nian observed the old man, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
