Chapter 1575 – Ancient Taboo
Following the words, a formation appeared under the feet of every cultivator in the confined space and teleported them out.
The same formation appeared under Qin Nan's feet too.
"I didn't think an hour would be gone so quickly."
The battle intent on Qin Nan slowly dissipated. He felt it to be a pity, as the battle between him and the three Peerless Geniuses had just started not long ago.
The three were surely holding onto stronger trump cards.
Whoosh!
Not long after, he was teleported out from the place.
"What in the world…"
As soon as Qin Nan landed on the ground, his attention was immediately attracted by the sight around him.
He figured out that he was standing inside a huge hall.
The hall was made of some ancient jade that could prevent anyone's Divine Sense from going through it. It was emitting warm glows too.
A few hundred statues were placed inside the hall.
The statues consisted of different men and women, each looked extremely alive as if they were actual humans.
On top of that, when Qin Nan glanced at the statues, they immediately unleashed a shocking aura as if they had been awakened, stirring the god force inside Qin Nan's body.
"Among the statues here, some are seniors of the Forbidden Taboo Sect, others are cultivators from different factions. Their statues are here because they once fought against the Ancient Taboo."
An imperious voice echoed in the hall, as an illusionary figure over five zhang tall in a long robe made of dragon scales slowly showed up from deep within the hall.
Even though the figure did not unleash any aura, Qin Nan's instinct had sensed a terrifying aura inside him.
"Fought against the Ancient Taboo?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered in astonishment. He had heard about the Ancient Taboo from the Beast Hide Drawing.
"In the vast and boundless Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, many factions are standing against the Ancient Taboo. Our Forbidden Taboo Sect is one of them."
The illusionary figure said.
"I see, so what exactly is this Ancient Taboo?"
Qin Nan was confused.
Judging from the Beast Hide Drawing's reaction from before, it seemed to be quite scared of the Ancient Taboo too.
"It ain't human, nor is it a spirit. It's an existence beyond all living creatures. You will understand about the Ancient Taboo when the time comes."
The illusionary figure let out a calm smile, "Let's focus on the matter on hand. You've passed the trial, thus you can choose to become a disciple of our Forbidden Taboo Sect. Will you take the offer?"
"Of course, our Forbidden Taboo Sect was eliminated a few thousand years ago."
The last sentence seemed to be reminding Qin Nan.
"Isn't the trial split into the Heaven God Group and the Earth God Realm? Why can I accept the succession after winning in my group?"
Qin Nan asked instead of giving his response.
"According to the initial plan, the succession of our Forbidden Taboo Sect won't appear in the next five hundred years in the Liuhuang Battleground. However, something forbidden in your body has awakened me in advance."
Two pitch-black flames were suddenly ignited on the illusionary figure's face. The flames set his eyes on fire as he stared directly at Qin Nan, trying to see through him.
He had watched the entire trial through the headless man.
He was convinced when he saw Qin Nan able to recover from his serious injuries within an instant.
"As I thought, it was the reason that triggered the unexpected changes!"
Qin Nan was startled. He immediately asked, "Senior, do you know what it is?"
Even though the white-blue flower did not pose any threat to him, and had granted him huge benefits, he was still curious to know its origin.
"I'm sorry, any forbidden existence is unique in its way. Even I can't tell what it is."
The illusionary figure shook his head and said in a calm voice, "I can only tell you that since you have the forbidden object, it's only a matter of time until the Ancient Taboo finds you."
"It is the same reason why I've given you the succession."
However, he did not tell Qin Nan everything.
There existed some stuff in the Forbidden Taboo Sect that he was not planning to give to Qin Nan.
After all, they were still on the look for the perfect successor.
Qin Nan nodded upon hearing this.
He still did not understand what the Ancient Taboo was. He would have to wait further to find out more about the White-Blue Flower.
"If the Forbidden Taboo Sect doesn't restrict me or ask me to do anything, I can accept the offer."
Qin Nan said with a serious look.
"Of course not, but if one day, the Ancient Taboo is shattered, may I ask you to break all these statues into pieces too?"
The illusionary figure let out a sigh as if he recalled something.
"That won't be a problem."
Qin Nan gave his promise after a slight pause.
"Qin Nan, when the Forbidden Taboo Sect was eliminated, I've placed three of our heirloom arts and some extraordinary natural resources into that altar."
"Once you stepped onto the altar, you'll be able to receive the succession."
"Remember, before the Forbidden Taboo Seal is formed, don't open your eyes regardless of anything."
The illusionary figure advised and waved his hand. An altar over five zhang tall and nineteen zhang long immediately appeared at the front of the hall.
The altar was emitting different kinds of immortal glows.
Even without relying on the Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle, Qin Nan could sense a formidable, pure power deep inside the altar.
"Senior, thanks."
Qin Nan took a deep breath and brought his fists together at the illusionary figure.
He could not tell how outstanding the three heirloom arts of the Forbidden Taboo Sect were. However, the pure force alone was enough to bring remarkable changes to his cultivation.
"By the way, senior, I have a friend in the Heaven God Group…"
Qin Nan thought about the Blood-Eye Earth God. Judging from the force, it would take him a while just to absorb it all.
"Don't worry, I've arranged a smaller succession for him too. He's currently cultivating in seclusion."
The illusionary figure smilingly said.
"Alright."
Qin Nan did not say anything further. He stepped onto the altar and sat down with his legs crossed.
BANG!
At that instant, streams of formidable force burst out of it.
Each stream of force was like an ancient beast ramming into his body, granting huge benefits to his flesh and the god force in his body.
"Divine Battle Spirit!"
Qin Nan groaned as a blinding blue glow appeared on his back.
The process might take quite some time, thus he would not want to waste the chance to absorb the Divine Battle Force.
"This…"
The illusionary figure was astounded by the sight. His heart was filled with shock.
Although he was unfamiliar with the blue glow, he knew how significant the aura that the blue glow had emitted was.
He initially thought Qin Nan was a disciple of a Nine Heavens Supreme, or an Exceptional Genius, but it turned out that Qin Nan's identity was even scarier than he had imagined.
