Chapter 1717 - The Method to Construct Souls

Behind the gate was a golden altar over seven hundred zhang tall.

The altar was engraved with pitch-black words of an ancient language, each emitting a strange aura like a deep abyss that could devour one’s soul.

The Beast Hide Drawing was floating above the altar.

“What do you mean by that?” Qin Nan frowned and said in a deep voice, “You told me that I’ll be able to reforge their souls once I ascended as an Immortal.”

He never had a good impression of the Beast Hide Drawing. The Divine G.o.d of Battle also warned him to be careful around the Beast Hide Drawing.

If it wasn’t for Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan, he would not be willing to have anything to do with it.

“Of course I’m telling you the truth.”

The Beast Hide Drawing laughed pleasantly, “As a matter of fact, I always have the method to rebuild their souls.”

“If you want it, you will have to exchange the purple crystal in your Divine Sense for it.”

Qin Nan was startled. The look in his eyes turned cold.

It turned out that the Beast Hide Drawing had been tricking him. It had only asked him to ascend as an immortal because it was after the purple crystal.

“Hehe, don’t look at me like that.”

A human figure appeared above the Beast Hide Drawing. Even though it was illusionary, Qin Nan could still tell the man was wearing a mocking grin, “I believe you must have noticed something after you ascended as an immortal. Your background isn’t as simple as it seems.”

“I wouldn’t mind telling you, the thing in your Divine Sense is something that your past life has left for you. You’ll obtain something terrifying once you refined it.”

Qin Nan was startled.

His background isn’t as simple as it seems?

Something left by his past life?

Didn’t Empress Feiyue tell him that he had already gone through ten cycles of reincarnation, meaning that he had gone back to square one?

Why would he still have a past life?

Qin Nan immediately recalled the figure sitting on the throne toward the end of the galaxy.

Could the figure be his past life?

“You think I’ve tricked you, but that’s not the case. I didn’t force you to do anything. The choice is still in your hands.”

The illusionary figure gloated, “You can choose to refine the Purple Crystal. Once you are done refining it, you will rise again and easily dominate the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!”

“The Peerless Geniuses, the Peerless Rulers, the Nine Heavens Supremes, or even those that are stronger will become just a bunch of clowns for you.”

He paused for a while as the grin on his face widened.

“Of course, the two women would be dead completely with no chance of being resurrected. However, if you choose to give me the purple crystal, I’ll tell you how you can save them.”

A strong gust of wind blew above the ancient altar out of nowhere.

Qin Nan began to tremble.

He had always been curious why the Divine G.o.d of Battle had chosen him out of everyone else. He wanted to know what the Divine G.o.d of Battle’s true name was, and what the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was.

These questions were clearly related to his past life.

He would find the answers once he refined the purple crystal.

However, none of them was as important as Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan.

He was trembling because he was infuriated when he realized the Beast Hide Drawing had been playing him like a fiddle all along!

“That’s enough, I’ll give you the purple crystal in exchange for the way to bring them back to life. You better not lie to me!”

Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and said coldly.

“HAHAHA!”

The illusionary figure burst out laughing upon hearing Qin Nan’s response.

“How ridiculous! How ridiculous! You are handing over something so precious just to save the lives of two insignificant women!”

“I wasn’t wrong about you, I have never been. You were never worthy of it!”

“The Divine G.o.d of Battle even called you his master, I’ve warned him about it, but he fell out with me instead!”

“That plan in the past, that plan…”

“It seems like I’ll be the one finis.h.i.+ng it instead!”

It felt as if the man was venting the grievance he had been nursing over ten thousand years within the instant. His voice echoed across the place like terrifying claps of thunder.

The altar shook vigorously. Even the mountains outside the gate were trembling and cracking.

The beasts with outstanding cultivation lied still on the ground in fear while crying out. They seemed to be begging for mercy.

Even Qin Nan was greatly affected by the impact. He groaned as a line of blood ran down his lips.

“Give it to me, you are no worthy to hold onto it!”

The illusionary figure stopped laughing. He looked t Qin Nan coldly.

A strange giant hand with glitters of the stars suddenly appeared in the air. It reached for the purple crystal in Qin Nan’s Divine Sense.

Buzz!

The purple crystal reacted vigorously as if it could tell what was happening. It rooted itself like a tree as it was unwilling to depart from Qin Nan’s Divine Sense.

“He’s not worthy of you!”

The illusionary man groaned as he forcibly suppressed the purple crystal’s aura and dragged it out of Qin Nan’s Divine Sense.

Qin Nan’s eyes widened while his face turned pale.

In that particular moment, it felt as if his soul had been forcibly dragged out of his flesh. He felt indescribably empty.

“Very well, too bad the Divine G.o.d of Battle has been cautious around me. I wonder where he’s hiding the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.”

The illusionary figure murmured. He looked down at Qin Nan as his voice gradually turned calm too, “Don’t you worry, I’ll give you what I’ve promised.”

A gray-white scroll appeared out of nowhere and landed beside Qin Nan.

“The altar that the scroll is referring to is the one right here. I’ve already built it for you. The beasts will protect you too. Consider it as a favor for the help you’ve provided.”

Qin Nan was turning a deaf ear to it. After recovering some of his energy, he clenched the scroll in his fist and let out a relieved sigh.

He could finally save Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan’s lives.

The illusionary man’s eyes flickered with disdain, “Fourth brother has nullified a great danger for you even if it meant placing his life at risk. You shouldn’t let him down.”

“You better try your best to live. It’s best if you don’t die.”

“When the plan succeeds, I’ll make an exception and let you ascend the Undying Cycle Mountain, so you will see the true Immortal Realm.”

The illusionary figure vanished after finis.h.i.+ng the sentence. The Beast Hide Drawing disappeared too.
