Divine King of Honour-Chapter 1601: Shangguan Yao’s Recruitment

Soon, Xu Nian followed Li Hongxia to a secluded mountain peak.

It was already nighttime.

A huge bright moon hung in the sky like a silver platter.

The clear moonlight poured down, shining radiantly on the earth.

The moon of the Sealing God Battlefield was much larger than that of the Immortal Realm.

Shangguan Yao stood at the mountain’s peak, her white dress billowing in the wind, her black hair fluttering, her aura ethereal like an immortal.

Her skin was fairer than snow, her demeanor transcendent.

At this moment, Shangguan Yao was gazing at the massive divine hall on the peak of Po Suo Mountain in the distance.

The divine hall emitted a soaring holy radiance, ancient, grand, and imposing.

All around the divine hall was an incredibly terrifying deadly presence, these were all emanating from powerful divine forbiddens.

"Junior Brother Xu Nian, you’re here?" Shangguan Yao smiled and said.

"I wonder what business Sister Shangguan has with me?" Xu Nian asked with a smile.

Shangguan Yao glanced at Li Hongxia and nodded.

The latter understood and immediately chose to leave.

Xu Nian was somewhat surprised by this; what did Shangguan Yao want to say to him, enough to have Li Hongxia leave?

"Junior Brother Xu Nian, I actually want to collaborate with you." Shangguan Yao said with a smile.

"Collaborate? In what way?" Xu Nian found it peculiar.

"Junior Brother Xu Nian, do you know what’s inside the Saint Divine Relic this time?" Shangguan Yao asked with a smile.

Xu Nian shook his head.

He knew relatively little about the Saint Divine Relic, only that it was a relic left by a Top-Grade Spiritual Artifact Goddess.

As for what was inside, he wasn’t very clear.

"Please, Sister Shangguan, enlighten me." Xu Nian said.

"This time, there is a godhood in the relic, and it’s a Gold Attribute Divine Godhood." Shangguan Yao said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Nian was immediately surprised.

Most of the time, there weren’t godhoods in relics. For Shangguan Yao to claim there was one, she must have some definite information.

"How did Sister Shangguan find out about this, and why tell me?" Xu Nian asked curiously.

"This matter was deduced by an Elder of Divine Mechanism from our sect, who sacrificed a lifespan of a hundred thousand years, so it’s certain to be true." Shangguan Yao said.

"As for why I’m telling you, it’s the premise for our collaboration." Shangguan Yao continued.

"Sister Shangguan means to ask me to help you acquire the godhood?" Xu Nian asked.

"Yes, I know you want to become independent as a god, so you won’t refine the godhood, and I know your strength is quite extraordinary. Analyzing your combat capability, you’re at least not below the Quasi-Immortal Emperor level, making you the ideal partner." Shangguan Yao said, looking at Xu Nian.

Her eyes were firm and decisive, a very resolute and capable woman.

Xu Nian chuckled, indeed, Shangguan Yao was a person of ability, with a somewhat unique perspective on things.

"Is Sister Shangguan so sure I won’t refine the godhood myself? Even if I don’t need it, I could give it to someone close to me." Xu Nian said with a smile.

Shangguan Yao laughed and said, "If I weren’t confident in this, I wouldn’t be standing here. Of course, if Junior Brother Xu Nian has any needs, I can help you acquire the items you desire, but I hope you’ll help me obtain the godhood."

"That condition isn’t sufficient." Xu Nian shook his head.

If he were someone pursuing Shangguan Yao, he might agree upon hearing her request.

But Xu Nian had no interest in Shangguan Yao.

So, he wouldn’t help her acquire the godhood just because of her words.

"I certainly won’t let Junior Brother Xu Nian work for me without anything in return. I know there’s also something in this relic that you need, an item whose value is on par with the godhood." Shangguan Yao said.

"Oh? Something I need?" Xu Nian was a bit surprised.

"Yes, in this relic, there is a Divine Dragon Tripod, a treasure that artifact refiners dream of. If you had this Divine Dragon Tripod, Junior Brother Xu Nian might even be able to craft a divine artifact in the future, increasing your success rate by half." Shangguan Yao said.

"A Divine Dragon Tripod?" Xu Nian’s face showed a look of surprise.

If it’s really as Shangguan Yao said, he was genuinely interested in this relic.

He currently had no need for a divine tripod to assist in crafting divine artifacts.

But that didn’t mean he wouldn’t need one in the future.

His divine fire could melt top-grade artifact materials, even supreme-grade ones.

But without the assistance of a divine tripod, he couldn’t fully focus the temperature.

However, with these divine tripods, it would be different; he might indeed be able to craft mid-grade, even top-grade, supreme-grade divine artifacts.

After all, he had both top-grade and supreme-grade divine artifact materials in hand.

Seeing the expression on Xu Nian’s face, Shangguan Yao immediately knew he was interested.

"So, Junior Brother Xu Nian, for this relic, I only want the godhood; all the treasures of the Turquoise Pool will be yours." Shangguan Yao said firmly.

Xu Nian pondered for a moment and finally nodded.

The reason he agreed was that none of his women were cultivating the Gold Attribute Law.

Xuanyuan Qingling cultivated the Wind Attribute; Murong Xue needed a Death Godhood.

Tantai Xun Yan also cultivated the Fire Attribute; her Yin Yang Dual Body original self was killed.

Only a Fire Spirit Tree avatar remained.

Zhao Yanyun was also cultivating the Fire Attribute Principle.

As for Han Xiaoxiao, she was also cultivating the Wind Attribute.

So basically, no one needed the Gold Attribute Divine Godhood.

This was the real reason Xu Nian agreed to Shangguan Yao.

And for himself, choosing to refine a godhood to become a god was impossible.

"I wonder how Sister Shangguan specifically plans to cooperate with me? This time, with all the strong ones from the Four Realms emerging, it might not be easy for the two of us to seize the treasures." Xu Nian asked with a smile.

"I’ve already thought about this; we won’t be fighting alone. Our Turquoise Pool will go all out. Also, I’ve convinced the Earth Immortal Sect and the Immortal Sovereign Hall to assist us." Shangguan Yao said.

"The Earth Immortal Sect and the Immortal Sovereign Hall?" Xu Nian was somewhat surprised.

He didn’t expect that Shangguan Yao had managed to enlist the help of two major forces simultaneously.

Along with Shendang Mountain, that’s the Four Great Forces.

Which means they had half of the Nine Great Forces on their side immediately.

It seemed Shangguan Yao had been prepared for this for some time.

"If it’s just that, it might not be enough. Sister Shangguan, you might as well show your real ace in the hole." Xu Nian said with a smile.

Shangguan Yao laughed and shook her head: "You’re indeed as smart as the legends say. Since that’s the case, I’ll not hide anymore. This is a Mid-grade Divine Sword, containing extremely strong Gold Attribute Divine Talisman power. Once activated, it can kill a Basic-level Immortal Emperor. However, with my strength, I can only activate it once, and it requires some time to prepare. That’s why I hope you can help me."

Shangguan Yao took out a divine sword.

This divine sword emanated intense waves of Gold Attribute Divine Pattern.

Xu Nian was immediately surprised.

It was unexpectedly a Mid-grade Divine Talisman Sword.

Engraved upon it were extremely strong Gold Attribute Divine Talismans, which could instantly unleash divine talisman power when activated.

No wonder Shangguan Yao was so confident.

He didn’t expect her to have such a powerful secret weapon.

With one strike from this sword, he himself would surely be dead.
