Chapter 1725 - The Lake Within a Lake

“Let’s follow them!” the Bliss Immortal Emperor snapped.

They had no other choice.

Besides, even if they failed to find an escape in the lake, they could still force Qin Nan and the other man to fight Supreme Rudao together.

It was the only way to increase their odds of survival.

“Are you seriously ignoring my presence?” a calm voice said.

The lid of the golden-runed coffin was completely open. Supreme Rudao was wearing a snowy-white dress. She stepped forward in the air like a moon fairy inside a drawing.

“c.r.a.p!”

The faces of the two Immortal Emperors turned pale as their hearts fell cold.

Meanwhile, inside the Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake…

Qin Nan and his crew immediately felt a strong cold sweeping at them not long after they entered the lake. They tried to unleash their immortal force to defend against the cold, but it was useless still.

However, knowing that a Nine Heavens Supreme that had just woken up was still on their trail, they could only endure the cold and went deeper into the lake.

The group soon realized that something did not feel right. The lake did not seem too big, but it was actually a bottomless abyss. They had already gone a few hundred thousand zhang deep, yet they had not reached the bottom yet.

“This is the end, I’ve always been brilliant throughout my life, no one can possibly stand a chance against me. I’ve only had half of my goal of having three thousand concubines, and I only have more than thirty sons, but I’m soon going to die here…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was grieving.

Qin Nan’s lips twisted. He was about to order the beasts to shut the man’s mouth when he discovered a strange sight.

There was a ring of crimson-golden light with a length of over fifty zhang in the serene-blue lake. The water inside the ring was white, and they could faintly distinguish the outline of a cave abode too.

“F**k me!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor screamed with an astonished look in his eyes, “Isn’t this the Qianyuan (Primary Heaven) Lake? Why is it here? Why…why is there a cave abode in it too…”

The man was stammering.

The Qianyuan Lake was also cla.s.sified as an ‘Immoral Blessing’ just like the Immortal Nocturne Willow. On top of it, the Qianyuan Lake was even rarer than the Immortal Nocturne Willow. It had been tens of thousand years since the last one appeared.

Whenever the Qianyuan Lake showed up, it would attract countless experts to fight one another for it.

Most importantly, how impressive would a person have to be to dare construct a cave abode in an Immortal Blessing right inside the palace of Supreme Rudao?

“HAHA, Heavens have been treating me well!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor quickly collected his thoughts and burst out laughing. He transformed into a demonic ray and flew at the Qianyuan Lake.

He had a strong instinct that he might be able to overcome the danger by entering the lake.

BANG!

The water began to vibrate.

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor slammed heavily onto the surface of the lake. He even felt a little dizzy due to how strong the impact was.

“Is the lake summoning the Ownerless Heaven Pattern?”

The thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind. He quickly made up his mind and activated the Ownerless Heaven Pattern as he flew toward the Qianyuan Lake.

Qin Nan did not fly at his full speed after seeing what happened to the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor. He slowly approached the golden ring and placed his hand on it. Surprisingly, he was able to go inside freely.

The cold immediately disappeared. It was replaced by a sense of warmth.

“How…how did you go inside?”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor looked utterly dumbfounded. However, he quickly wore a fawning smile, “Say, Brother Qin Nan, could you please get me in too? Don’t you forget that we are in the same boat here!”

Qin Nan glanced at him while using the Ownerless Heaven Pattern to help the twenty beasts inside. After he was done, he turned and headed for the cave abode.

“AH! Qin Nan, you little p.r.i.c.k…cough cough, Brother Qin Nan, I’m calling you a brother here? How could you be so cruel to me and left me behind!?”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor began to panic.

The temperature of the lake began to rise rapidly. Both Qin Nan and the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor could sense Supreme Rudao was watching them in spite of the great distance.

“Holy c.r.a.p! Master Qin Nan…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s face turned pale.

Qin Nan did not leave the man behind. He quickly activated the Ownerless Heaven Pattern and brought the man into the Qianyuan Lake.

Even though the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was very unreliable, and he did not really see the man as his friend, but the man had never harmed him either, and he also needed the man’s guidance to solve some of his doubts.

“Phew! Glad that we are safe for now!”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor let out a relieved sigh. He blurted out as soon as he realized something, “I’m afraid the Qianyuan Lake isn’t going to stop Supreme Rudao. We’ll have to check the cave abode.”

Qin Nan nodded and went forward together with the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.

They soon discovered an aged residence over eighty zhang tall and three hundred zhang wide. It had an ancient feeling to it.

“I don’t see anything special about this place.”

Qin Nan took a closer look around. After failing to detect any trap, he exchanged glances with the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor before heading inside together.

“Holy c.r.a.p! Heaven Star Dragon Spirit Flower? Kunwu Sappling? Full-Star Gra.s.s? Six Lifetimes Mystical Immortal Tree? These…these…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor immediately saw hundreds of ancient trees and immortal flowers with a strong immortal presence as soon as they went inside the residence. His eyes widened as if he was struck by a bolt of lightning.

Every single name that he mentioned was an Immortal Blessing!

In addition to it, even the resources that he did not point out were extremely valuable and rare too!

Since when was it so easy to collect these rare resources?

“There are so many herbs here!” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment too. He quickly tossed a badge to the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and said, “Take a look around for me and see if there’s any herb that’s listed in the badge.”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor held the badge. His thoughts were still preoccupied by the surprise. Qin Nan shrugged speechlessly. Was this man really a Peerless Ruler?

However, Qin Nan had no clue how significant the Immortal Blessings were.

In comparison, even Supreme Rudao only had two Immortal Blessings in her palace, the Immortal Nocturne Willow and the Qianyuan Lake.

Qin Nan simply ignored the man. He weaved through the ancient trees and herbs and went inside the residence.

As soon as he entered, he captured a strange scent. Not only did it soothe his mind, his injuries were recovering on their own too.

Qin Nan was startled. He quickly scanned his surroundings.

The place was not huge. The decorations were simple too. There were only a bed, a futon, and a cauldron engraved with patterns of immortals and demons.

“Mm? Is that…”

Qin Nan suddenly noticed something. He immediately tensed.

The Ownerless Heaven Pattern in his Divine Sense glowed excitedly too.
