Chapter 1622 - The Land of Immortal Death

"Copper mirror, which Immortal Ancient place should I go to?"

Qin Nan quickly calmed his thoughts and transmitted his voice.

He had briefly checked the current situation through the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge.

There were currently fifteen Immortal Ancient places, but only the Nine Melodies Departing River in the Xuanpingtian Small Immortal Realm was accessible.

The remaining fourteen Immortal Ancient places were still opening up.

He was unlikely to go to the Nine Melodies Departing River, since there were ten Immortal Ancient places in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.

Based on his past experience of achieving the Martial Monarch Realm and the Martial G.o.d Realm, he clearly knew that a single Immortal Ancient place was not enough for him to ascend as an immortal. He would need two, or even three to succeed.

It would be better if he stayed in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.

"Go to the Land of Immortal Death, it will open very soon."

The icy voice came from the red string.

"Alright."

Qin Nan nodded and sent a message to Qiu Hong, the Blood-Eye Heaven G.o.d, and the three immortal emperors before he left the Supreme Cave Abode through the same path he came.

The Land of Immortal Death was located in the north of the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.

According to some ancient records, there was once a huge conspiracy that killed a few thousand immortals in the place. It was quite shocking.

The place had shown up many times during different Tides of Ascension in the past. Every time, quite a number of cultivators would die in it. It was more dangerous than most Immortal Ancient places.

It took Qin Nan two days to arrive at the destination.

Ahead of him was a vast, boundless yellow gra.s.sland, with a mysterious, blood-colored mist looming above it.

The mist was gradually dissipating at a speed that was visible to the naked eye. The terrifying aura of the place was warning the cultivators that they would most likely die if they tried to force their way in.

"I'll wait in the city first."

Qin Nan entered an enormous, ancient city.

Every Immortal Ancient place would have one or two ancient cities nearby. The Supreme Daoism factions and the factions led by Peerless Rulers had come to an agreement.

Regardless of what happened, no one was allowed to use violence in these cities.

"The Nine Heavens Golden Immortal Palace is one of the thirteen Supreme Daoism factions, and it always keeps its words!"

"You can now place your bets, how many people will ascend as immortals in this Land of Immortal Death?"

"Earning a fortune in just a single night is no longer just a myth, and you might be lucky enough to be the winner!"

Qin Nan heard people yelling as soon as he set his foot into the city.

He turned around and saw a few cultivators with extraordinary presence inn immortal robes looking for customers.

Qin Nan subconsciously twisted his lips.

He did read it in the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge, about how the patriarch of the Nine Heavens Golden Immortal Palace that was one of the thirteen Supreme Daoism factions was extremely addicted to betting.

Every time a Tide of Ascension took place, or when a cultivator was attempting to become a Nine Heavens Supreme, or when something serious happened, the patriarch would always send disciples to set up bets.

He initially thought the information was fake, but he was surprised to learn that it was actually real.

Qin Nan shook his head. Without further ado, he glanced ahead with his Golden Eyes of the Divine G.o.d of Battle.

"So many cultivators?"

Qin Nan was astounded.

Currently, there were a few thousand cultivators in the city.

Most cultivators were in the Heaven G.o.d Realm. In comparison, the number of cultivators in the Earth G.o.d Realm or the Human G.o.d Realm was extremely low.

However, Qin Nan wondered how many cultivators would show up when the Land of Immortal Death was accessible?

What worth noticing was, there were quite a lot of Human Immortals and Earth Immortals in the city.

There was only one explanation to their number, they had specifically escorted the peerless geniuses of their factions to the city.

"Brother Nan, I can't make it this time, the Sky Taihuang Sect has set its eyes on the Demon Ruler Mountain, the Dragon Immortal Dojo, and the Lunar Sky Tower.

"It's an order from the Supreme Elder, so I have to obey it."

"Many people are watching you in the dark, be careful."

Qiu Hong transmitted his thought to Qin Nan.

Qin Nan fell into a ponder after receiving the message.

Does this mean the thirteen Supreme Daoism factions had already planned what Immortal Ancient places they were targeting?

Would the factions led by Peerless Rulers use the same approach too?

"Cultivator Qin Nan, are you thinking about becoming the strongest immortal?"

A pleasant voice suddenly appeared beside Qin Nan. He turned to the voice and saw Xu Xianzhi in an immortal dress looking at him with a huge smile.

"Cultivator Xianzhi? Is the Sanqing Ancient Palace aiming for the Land of Immortal Death?"

Qin Nan was stunned.

"Yeah, my master asked me to come here, so here I am. I didn't expect to stumble into you here though, it looks like fate has brought us together."

Xu Xianzhi teased.

"Cough cough."

Not knowing what to say, Qin Nan immediately switched the topic, "What did you mean by the strongest immortal just then?"

"You didn't know?"

Xu Xianzhi was surprised. However, she quickly remembered Qin Nan had only ascended to the Nine Heavens not long ago and said calmly, "The strongest immortal is related to a very old legend in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."

"Every time when more than ten Immortal Ancient places showed up, the Supreme Daoism faction in the Small Immortal Realm with the highest number of Immortal Ancient places will have to offer great prizes and hold a tournament."

"The person that defeats more than half the total number of partic.i.p.ants will be referred to as the strongest immortal."

Qin Nan's eyes glittered.

He was totally unaware of it.

"Cop...was Empress Feiyue the strongest immortal five thousand years ago?"

Qin Nan quickly asked.

"Yes."

Xu Xianzhi immediately wore an admiring look, "Five thousand years ago, Empress Feiyue showed up all of a sudden and defeated every opponent, startling the whole Nine Heavens."

"As such, even though some Peerless Geniuses did defeat half of the partic.i.p.ants in the tournaments, none of them dared to call themselves the strongest immortal."

"It was where the saying of, since the empress five thousand years ago, there's no one worthy to be called the strongest immortal."

Qin Nan nodded. Considering how outstanding the Art of Three Lifetimes was, it was fairly predictable that Empress Feiyue was able to defeat every cultivator of the same level.

"This time, the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm has the highest number of Immortal Ancient places, the three great Supreme Daoism factions are already preparing for the tournament."

Xu Xianzhi's eyes glittered as she spoke, "If Cultivator Qin Nan is interested, you can take a look at the Immortal Badge of Ascension to learn the details."

Qin Nan immediately brought his fists together, "Thank you for telling me about it."

It went without saying that he was very interested in the tournament.

How imperious would it be to be referred to as the strongest immortal of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm?

"Cultivator Qin Nan, you don't need to be so courteous with me. Once we're in the Land of Immortal Death, remember to go easy on me."

Xu Xianzhi said softly, "There are still a few days until the place is opened. Shall we find an inn for the day?"

Qin Nan did not reject the offer. The two proceeded along the streets.

However, little did they know, a few cultivators suddenly halted in their tracks on the crowded streets.

"The G.o.d of Misfortune, Qin Nan has arrived in the Land of Immortal Death!"

"Young Master, Qin Nan, and Xu Xianzhi are together in the Land of Immortal Death!"

"The target has appeared in the Land of Immortal Death!"

They secretly transmitted their thoughts into the badges they were holding.

Following it, they quickly vanished among the crowd without anyone noticing.
