Chapter 1716 - The Deal with the Devil

“HAHA, Qin Nan, you’ve helped us a great deal this time!”

The three Immortal Emperors burst out laughing upon collecting their thoughts. Their eyes flickered with excitement.

If they were able to acquire the successions of the Nine Heavens Supreme, they would have a chance to become a Nine Heavens Supreme themselves too.

“Seniors, you’re most welcome. Thank you for your help along the way.”

Qin Nan shook his head. Without the three Immortal Emperors’ help, the journey would be more than ten times tougher than it was.

“Alright, we will not bother you any further. Anyway, we owe you one,” the Bliss Immortal Emperor said with a smile. “We’ll be going in first, it’s best if you stay in the middle sector. It’s too dangerous to go any further.”

The trio turned into rays of light and flew into one of the cracks.

Normally, they would not allow anyone to stay behind since the Supreme Cave Abode had opened.

However, both Qin Nan and Qiu Hong had just ascended as immortals. Qin Nan’s Dao Foundation was severed too. They would surely die if they dared to venture deeper into the place.

As such, the Immortal Emperors were not worried about them.

As for the successions and fortune in the middle sector, the two could take as much as they pleased.

“Brother Nan, let’s head down!”

Qiu Hong glanced at the immortal glow coming from the middle sector and swallowed his saliva.

Even as a core disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect, he had never seen so many successions at the same place. Even the Immortal Ancient places that he had been to were nothing like this place.

“You go ahead, I’m going deeper,” Qin Nan said.

He activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine G.o.d of Battle and scanned the cracks below.

The Beast Hide Drawing had just given him a map through its Divine Sense, allowing Qin Nan to reach the deepest part of the place.

Otherwise, if Qin Nan was to head inside with his current strength, he would die for sure.

“What? You’re going inside?” But…”

Qiu Hong was startled. Before he could finish, he immediately closed his mouth when he saw the firm look on Qin Nan’s face. He let out a sigh in his heart.

He a.s.sumed Qin Nan was planning to go deeper recklessly to see if he could acquire some tremendous fortune so he could reclaim his cultivation.

“I’ll go with you…”

Qiu Hong clenched his teeth. Even if the place ahead had shocking tides, he could not afford to leave Qin Nan alone.

“Wait here!”

Qin Nan patted on Qiu Hong’s shoulder and vanished with a flicker.

Qiu Hong stood still with a blank face. His expression s.h.i.+fted for a moment as he finally made the decision and flew into one of the giant cracks.

Time gradually pa.s.sed, a hundred breaths later…

Qin Nan followed the guidance of the map and entered a crack. The scenery before him began to twist. As he collected his thoughts, he found himself surrounded by immortal mountains.

He lifted his gaze and saw wisps of immortal glow, yet he could not see the peaks of the mountains. The towering ancient trees around him were emitting a hint of desolation, as if he had arrived at a desolated place of the ancient times.

Qin Nan scanned his surroundings. He proceeded forward when he did not notice any potential threat around him.

His eyes widened when he only flew a hundred zhang forward. He froze in his track as soon as he felt a shocking chill running down his spine.

“A human?”

“He’s only a third-layer Earth Immortal?”

“Hehe, it’s been a while since I last drank the blood of a human.”

A thunderous voice echoed in the sky.

Huge ferocious-looking heads and giant figures appeared from the woods and the rivers that were initially empty.

Pairs of eyes of different colors were all staring at Qin Nan with a hint of mockery, disdain, and greed.

Qin Nan immediately took a deep breath.

Currently, his vision was filled with over a hundred ancient beasts, each with a cultivation of peak Heaven Immortal Realm.

In addition to it, there were lots of beasts hiding in the mountains ahead too. There were clearly more than hundreds of them. It was nothing but a den of beasts.

Even the three Immortal Emperors would have to flee for their lives, let alone him.

“What did the Beast Hide Drawing want? Was it trying to use these ancient beasts to kill me? But considering the power it possessed…”

Different thoughts crossed Qin Nan’s mind as he tried his best to remain calm.

“Tsk tsk, the kid might be a little skinny, but he shall do for the appetizer!”

Following a sinister voice, a giant snake covered in pitch-black scales with a pair of green eyes and over two hundred zhang long suddenly showed up from an ancient tree more than a few hundred li away. It opened its b.l.o.o.d.y mouth and tore at Qin Nan.

Qin Nan was startled.

The snake’s cultivation had reached the fifth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm. There was no way he could stand a chance against it.

What now? Should he activate the Seal of the Divine G.o.d of Battle?

In the nick of time, a faint glow descended from the rift onto Qin Nan, granting him a terrifying aura.

AH!

The snake let out a cry of agony as if it had just encountered something oddly terrifying. It quickly fled in the opposite direction.

ROAR!

The beasts nearby seemed to have received a tremendous impact too. They all let out cries and backed away subconsciously. Their eyes were filled with terror.

They never thought a mere cultivator in the Earth Immortal Realm would be related to those terrifying existence.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was startled. He quickly let out a relieved sigh.

He did not even need to guess to know that it was the Beast Hide Drawing behind it.

After the danger was resolved, Qin Nan proceeded forward. However, he suddenly realized something. He pointed his finger and said, “You, come over here, bring me over there.”

A huge ape with hair like lightning arcs immediately wore a grim look. The Bright Lightning Immortal Ape with a cultivation of the eighth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm never thought it would allow a human to treat it like a mount.

However, it did not dare to disobey it. The beast obediently came forward and allowed Qin Nan to stand on its shoulder.

A few moments later, in the mountains that seemed to be the den of powerful beasts, an Earth Immortal Realm human stood on the shoulder of a Heaven Immortal Realm ape and left under the terrified gazes of the rest of the beasts.

It was a pity that the Bliss Immortal Emperor and his crew were unable to witness the astonis.h.i.+ng sight.

“Is this the place?”

A while later, Qin Nan glanced ahead.

Less than a thousand zhang away stood a giant blue copper gate over eight zhang tall. The surroundings were covered in darkness too.

The Bright Lightning Immortal Ape that Qin Nan had treated as his mount was currently kneeling on the ground. It was trembling while murmuring under its breath.

Qin Nan jumped and landed before the gate. He pushed it open.

A chaotic aura surged in his direction. His hair drifted to the gust of wind that came out from the door.

“Qin Nan! You’re finally here. I’ve long waited for this day!”
