Chapter 1623 - Ancient Bodhi Temple

Sometime later, a room in a nameless inn...

Qin Nan had learned all he needed with a quick glance into the Immortal Badge of Ascension.

On the surface, the final battle was held by the collaboration of the three Supreme Daoism factions, but the truth was, it was actually held by the Sky Taihuang Sect.

Any person that was interested in it must fulfill two conditions.

First, they would have to obtain a rare loot from every Immortal Ancient place.

Second, they must successfully ascend as an immortal when the fifteen Immortal Ancient places closed.

The conditions were simple, so was the reward. The winner would be given a chance to listen to the teaching of a Nine Heavens Supreme once, and a chance to cultivate in a Dao Seeking Land for ten days.

Many geniuses with formidable background could easily acquire the rewards through their connections, yet their main purpose of taking part in the final battle was to win the utmost glory.

The glory did not only belong to themselves.

There existed countless successions in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, and it would further highlight how incredible the succession of the person that was crowned the strongest immortal was.

"Strongest immortal huh..."

Qin Nan murmured and closed his eyes.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. Five days later, a path was finally revealed amid mist looming over the yellow gra.s.sland.

Countless immortal rays sprang into the sky.

The ancient city immediately burst into an uproar!

Even with the formation Qin Nan had set up in his room, he could still hear the great blast outside the inn, like the roar of a great tide.

"Cultivator Xianzhi, let's head over together."

Qin Nan went to the top of the city with a flicker. The golden flames in his eyes flickered when he saw the view before him.

Thousands of cultivators were turning into immortal rays as they made their way to the path in a spectacular manner.

Among them were Human G.o.ds and Earth G.o.ds, and the disciples of Supreme Daoism factions or the factions led by Peerless Rulers. Some were just ordinary rogue cultivators.

In addition to it, thousands of cultivators in the city were unleas.h.i.+ng their aura, waiting for their turns.

The scene was a lot grander than what Qin Nan had imagined.

It was mainly because he had totally forgotten that not only was an Immortal Ancient place an opportunity to ascend as an immortal for many cultivators, it was also a land full of fortunate encounters.

They would be satisfied if they could find one or two rare loots.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan raised his head as he sharply noticed something.

Among the cultivators, a young man holding his palms together wearing a monk's robe while murmuring ancient scriptures was moving at his own steady pace.

On the other side, a young man carrying a sword on his back was leading more than twenty cultivators. His aura was like an immortal sword being drawn out of its sheath, ready to give any person that dared to stand before him mercilessly.

In addition to them, he also sensed an intimidating aura from two other masked cultivators in white robes, and thirteen Heaven G.o.d Realm cultivators who disappeared within the blink of an eye.

"The monk is Long Chan, a core disciple of the Ancient Bodhi Temple that is one of the thirteen Supreme Daoism factions. He is also a Peerless Genius."

Xu Xianzhi showed up beside Qin Nan out of nowhere with a pair of glittering eyes and said in a pleasant voice, "The young man with the sword is also a core disciple of a Supreme Daoism faction, the Extreme Living Gate, Gu Zhenyi."

"The two cultivators in white robes are quite mysterious. I haven't learned their ident.i.ties still."

Qin Nan said with a frown, "There are fewer Peerless Geniuses than I thought."

If every Immortal Ancient place was the same, how was he going to ascend as an immortal?

Xu Xianzhi said after a slight giggle, "Cultivator Qin Nan, leaving the fact that there are fifteen Immortal Ancient places aside, who would know that the Land of Immortal Death would open so soon?"

"If they knew, it would be a whole different story."

"Don't worry too much, if you need a bigger scene than this, just wait until the end."

Qin Nan was startled, before he quickly came to a realization.

It was likely that he needed around two or three Immortal Ancient places to ascend as an immortal, similar to other Peerless Geniuses.

On top of that, other cultivators did not succeed in their attempts, or the cultivators who failed to find the loot they were looking for would proceed to the next Immortal Ancient place.

In other words, the scene would only become even grander as time went by!

"That makes a lot of sense, let's head inside now."

Qin Nan's eyes emitted a golden flicker as he flew forward.

Meanwhile, a palace in the ancient city...

"Young Master!" A disciple quickly went up and said, "Qin Nan and Xu Xianzhi have entered the Land of Immortal Death!"

In front of the disciple was Little Peng Emperor Wan Xiao.

However, this time, he was no longer alone. There were twenty-three Heaven G.o.d Realm cultivators nearby, and not far from him sat a gentle, young man in a long, blue robe.

Beside the young man were fifteen peak Heaven G.o.ds.

"Elder Lin, they have gone inside. Shall we?"

Wan Xiao said coldly with strong murderous intent in his eyes.

"Brother Wan, what's the rush? Based on what I know, Zhao Lijian and his men under the command of the South World Immortal Emperor is already on their way. They will arrive very soon."

The young man that was referred to as Elder Lin said with a gentle smile, "Wouldn't it be extremely easy for us to control the situation once we teamed up?"

He then added, "It's an order from Elder Long, so even I have to comply."

Wan Xiao said with a cold harrumph, "If we still fail to catch the man, I won't go easy on you."

Meanwhile, in the mist...

The scenery in front of Qin Nan changed tremendously as soon as he stepped into the mist.

Seven enormous mountains were hanging in the air like seven peerless swords that would fall in any second. It was quite an intimidating sight.

The whole place was dyed blood-red, with streams of murderous intents lingering in the air. The sky in the distance was glowing in various kinds of immortal glows, as if there were some outstanding successions waiting to be discovered.

The Land of Immortal Death was no different than the forbidden places he had visited before. Everyone that entered the place was sp.a.w.ned in different locations.

Xu Xianzhi was no longer by his side.

"If the Immortal Ancient place has opened up, it means the succession has been activated too. There might be more due to the effects of the White-Blue Flower."

Qin Nan immediately proceeded forward as the thought crossed his mind.

He did not really have a plan. His approach was very simple. He would acquire any succession he stumbled into.

If anyone tried to stop him, he would crush them all. He would not let anyone stop him from ascending as an immortal.

BANG BANG BANG!

After the period it took an incense stick to burn, a few G.o.dly rays crashed into one another, resulting in a huge blast.

"An Immortal Herb?"

Qin Nan glanced at the blue flower, one-zhang tall, in an immortal, fiery glow in the distance. He immediately unleashed the power of his eyes, which transformed into a giant hand grabbing at the flower.
