Divine King of Honour-Chapter 684: The Old Drunkard’s Warning
"Wudi, have you reached the Three-star Battle Emperor Realm?"
Xu Nian looked at Chen Wudi's cultivation level with a surprised expression on his face.
Even though Chen Wudi possessed the Pagoda that enhanced cultivation levels,
To breakthrough to the Saint Realm and the Battle Emperor Realm, one had to comprehend the Profound Argumentation.
This was not something one could achieve with external help alone.
Chen Wudi's rapid breakthrough indicated that he had significant talent in perception.
"How is it, aren't you surprised? Actually, it's all thanks to that old drunk. My aptitude for comprehension wasn't that strong, but with the old drunk's guidance, I was able to grasp the threshold of the Profound Argumentation so quickly," Chen Wudi said with a smile.
"Tsch!"
The Alcohol King Ghost Madman heard Chen Wudi's praise but scoffed in disdain.
Clearly, he didn't care much for the sincere praise from his disciple.
Xu Nian, however, just smiled.
This master-apprentice pair really did have similar personalities.
But Xu Nian was also happy for Chen Wudi.
He had found such a powerful master,
And to be able to improve his cultivation so rapidly, as a brother, Xu Nian naturally felt joy for him.
"Oh right, Xu Nian, I came here to see you. I'll be leaving this continent soon and was wondering if you'd like to come with me. The old drunk is very strong; with his protection, we could definitely make it to the Cultivation World," Chen Wudi said.
Upon hearing this, Xu Nian hesitated.
"What's the matter, don't you want to go to the Tiancang Sect to find Murong Xue? This is a great opportunity. It would be much safer to leave with us than for you to barge in there alone," Chen Wudi hurriedly said when he saw Xu Nian's hesitation.
Xu Nian shook his head. "I can't leave yet. As much as I want to go to the Cultivation World, I still have many things left unsettled on this continent."
"What things? Is it because of the Imperial Family?" Chen Wudi quickly asked.
Xu Nian nodded. "Right now, the Imperial Family is bent on killing me. If I leave and they can't find me, they will surely harm my family."
"That's easy to handle. I'll get the old drunk to head to the Imperial Capital and wipe out the entire Imperial Family. Then you can leave with me," Chen Wudi declared right away.
"Thud!"
However, before he finished speaking, the old drunk hit him hard with a wine jug.
"Brat, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you think the Imperial Family is so easy to exterminate? Let me tell you, although the Imperial Family doesn't seem powerful on the surface, they conceal a huge power behind them, and even I wouldn't dare offend them lightly," the Alcohol King Ghost Madman admonished.
Chen Wudi rubbed his head, annoyed, and cursed, "Coward!"
Xu Nian's brow furrowed tightly.
He knew that the old drunk's words were meant for him.
It was a warning not to underestimate the Imperial Family.
This made Xu Nian fall deep into thought.
The mighty force the old drunk mentioned couldn't be the Tianhen Ancestor.
After all, even if the Tianhen Ancestor was strong, he wasn't a threat to such a powerful being like the old drunk.
So what could this mighty force be that the old drunk was referring to?
"Senior, does the Imperial Family really possess a powerful force?" Xu Nian thought about it and decided to ask.
The old drunkard heard Xu Nian's question, glanced at him, and said, "Kid, don't blame me for not having warned you, the Imperial Family is indeed not as simple as you think. Just think about Emperor Tianhen, could he have lived over a thousand years without someone helping him?"
At these words, Xu Nian was suddenly startled.
That's right!
For Tianhen Ancestor to have lived this long in such a suppressed world, there must be a reason.
Now that I think about it, I was being too naive.
"Hmph, what's there to fear, old drunkard, let me tell you, Xu Nian has a particularly formidable Master, even more capable than you," said Chen Wudi with a look of disdain towards the old drunkard.
"You brat, you look down on your Master that much? Who is his Master? How could he possibly be more skilled than me? Go ask around the Cultivation World, who doesn't know Alcohol King Ghost Madman?" The old drunkard said with pride.
Clearly, he did not believe that Xu Nian's Master could be more powerful than him.
"Xu Nian, tell him who your Master is," Chen Wudi prompted directly.
Xu Nian just smiled helplessly.
How did this turn into a conversation about his Master?
"Kid, out with it, who is your Master? If he's not famous, then forget it. Anyone more capable than me would have some reputation, so just tell me your Master's name and I'll know if he's really formidable," the old drunkard insisted stubbornly, wanting to compare himself with Xu Nian's Master.
Xu Nian smiled awkwardly and said, "Let's drop it, my Master really isn't that well-known."
"You hear that, brat? Even he admits it, I am more formidable than his Master," the old drunkard said eagerly.
"Xu Nian, why are you being polite with him? Just tell him boldly," urged Chen Wudi.
Xu Nian had previously shared some of the past with him.
With their past outlook, they might not have seen much.
But now, looking back, it seems all the more extraordinary.
"Kid, just say it, today I must make this brat concede. If he still doesn't believe it, one day I'll challenge your Master and see who is really the stronger," the old drunkard declared, eyes fixed on Xu Nian.
Left with no choice, Xu Nian honestly answered, "My Master is called Bai Tianhan. I don't know if Senior has heard of him."
"What? Bai... Bai Tianhan? You're Bai Tianhan's disciple?" The old drunkard suddenly widened his eyes.
Xu Nian nodded.
The old drunkard's mouth twitched a few times, and he quickly waved his hand, "Forget what I just said, damn it, I've actually come across Bai Tianhan's disciple, no, I need a drink to settle my nerves."
"Well, old drunkard, are you scared now? Didn't you just say you wanted to challenge Xu Nian's Master?" Chen Wudi continued to provoke.
"You damn kid, are you trying to kill your Master or what? To challenge Bai Tianhan is to seek death. Ask around the Cultivation World, how many would dare to challenge Bai Tianhan," the old drunkard cursed immediately.
Chen Wudi just chuckled.
With this topic, he could tease the old drunkard for quite some time.
Yet Xu Nian's face showed a look of surprise.
Why was the Beast God so astonished at the mention of his Master's name?
And now the old drunkard too.
Could it be that his Master has such a big reputation in the Cultivation World?
"Kid, you might not know what the name Bai Tianhan means in the Cultivation World, but let me warn you. If you go to the Cultivation World, never tell anyone you are Bai Tianhan's disciple, or it will bring you endless trouble," the old drunkard said seriously all of a sudden.
Xu Nian did not understand but still nodded in agreement.
