City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Sea City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Penglai is more than three thousand nautical miles away from land,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even a Battle Emperor Expert could not fly there in one breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, one needs a place to rest and accumulate Spiritual Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although it is close to shore, there are still powerful Sea Demons lurking in the waters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, the best choice to reach Penglai is to take a ship.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, as Xu Nian understood,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>there are special ships in East Sea for going out to sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These ships have Formations on them that grant them great speed,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>even comparable to the pace of a Battle Saint Level expert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only takes about five days to reach Penglai.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Emperor-level strong men can travel faster than these ships,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Emperor-level strong men also need to stop midway to rest and replenish the expended Spiritual Energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All things considered, it would also take nearly five days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the time taken is the same, Xu Nian naturally chose to take a ship, which was a way to save energy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only issue is that the cost of sailing on such a ship is quite expensive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For one sea voyage, a person needs to spend nearly a hundred million Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And these ships are only available at the East Sea Trading Company in East Sea City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, very few people are willing to spend such an enormous amount of money to travel on these ships.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Nian didn't care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention a hundred million Gold Coins, he could even afford a hundred billion Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had killed so many Holy Level and Emperor Level experts, including a few from the Imperial Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Gold Coins in their storage rings were stacked like mountains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Xu Nian never counted them, he was certain,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>that all these Gold Coins together were absolutely more than a hundred billion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One hundred billion, such a frightening amount.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not far behind the wealth accumulated by the number one commerce house in the world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So spending one hundred million Gold Coins was of no concern to Xu Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he could save Xu Yu, even if he had to give away all his Gold Coins, he would be willing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian entered East Sea City and headed towards East Sea Trading Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Sea Trading Company controlled all the commercial economic lifelines near the entire coastline of East Sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, traveling to Penglai Island was also a service offered by East Sea Trading Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>East Sea Trading Company was situated at the heart of East Sea City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire building of the company was quite grand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The building was divided into three Levels.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each Level served customers of different statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first level generally only admitted ordinary businessmen and low-level Cultivators.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To enter the second level, one must possess a VIP Token from the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Generally, those holding such Tokens had high status and power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the third Level, that was entirely reserved for highly esteemed existences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually not open to the public.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that only Diamond VIP customers could set foot there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian was uninterested in all this; he just wanted to take a ship out to sea as soon as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he directly stepped into the first floor lobby of East Sea Trading Company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said, East Sea Trading Company was indeed bustling with activity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the trade hall, which was no less than a thousand square meters, many people were standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These people were all chatting with the personnel inside the company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian, however, came in front of a counter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian looked in the direction the woman pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was indeed a counter there, marked with the names of several island destinations for ship registrations.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, among these islands, Penglai was not listed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These islands were inhabited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, it was common for merchants to travel to these islands to trade goods.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The woman clearly mistook him for such a person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I'm sorry, but the places listed are not where I wish to go. Is there another registration point?\" Xu Nian asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where do you want to go?\" the woman asked, her impatience evident from her furrowed brow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, she still did not lift her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Penglai!\" Xu Nian said, quite decisively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Xu Nian's words, the woman's body finally stiffened, and she lifted her head to look at Xu Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian was also staring at the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had to be said that this woman was indeed quite attractive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She appeared to be about twenty-four years old and her cultivation was notably high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had reached the ranks of a One-star Battle General.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To have achieved Battle General Level at her age, her talent was certainly noteworthy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You want to go to Penglai?\" the woman asked uncertainly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding crowd began to look at Xu Nian upon hearing the woman's question, their eyes carrying a strange expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes!\" Xu Nian nodded earnestly in confirmation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he did not understand why the crowd's gaze had become so odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whatever the reason, he was determined to go.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Do you know how much it costs to travel to Penglai?\" the woman asked again, seeing that Xu Nian was not joking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I do, one billion Gold Coins,\" Xu Nian stated, tossing a prepared unclaimed storage ring in front of the woman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After inspecting it, the woman's face showed surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because inside the storage ring, there really were one billion Gold Coins.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Please follow me,\" she said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After giving Xu Nian another look, the woman led him toward the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A youth under twenty years old, able to present one billion Gold Coins – his background must be extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Therefore, the woman immediately took Xu Nian to be the scion of some major power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This kid dares to go to Penglai, does he have a death wish?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who knows, maybe he really is confident?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"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.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding talk was incessant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These words naturally reached Xu Nian's ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, Xu Nian understood why people looked at him so strangely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It turned out they considered him someone trying to go to Penglai to seek apprenticeship and skills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, Xu Nian was somewhat astonished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people mentioned that a hundred geniuses went last time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, to Xu Nian's knowledge, not many people would go to Penglai in a year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How could there suddenly be so many?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Xu Nian did not have time to ponder further, as led by the young woman, he arrived at the second floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The number of people on this floor was obviously much fewer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the decoration and layout of the second floor were more lavish and grandiose than those on the first floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Yu, this guest wishes to travel to Penglai.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young woman had walked up to an old man at the edge of the hall on the second floor and spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, the elder was momentarily taken aback, then turned his attention to Xu Nian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Nian observed the old man, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>",1398,"2026-05-30T07:14:00.704Z","2026-06-01T04:30:36.922Z",1,"novelbin.me","2fbde0abe028663c8528d0a5d4b8cef084f7b4a61f1187c5691afb0182f27b3d","divine-king-of-honour-chapter-618","divine-king-of-honour-chapter-616",1916,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fdivine-king-of-honour-cover.jpg"]
