Chapter 1600 – The Mystery of the Flesh
The eyes of the outstanding figure suddenly emitted two thunderous flames shattering the Dao Light of the Sky Taihuang Intent into pieces.
The blue world immediately ceased to exist.
The blue mark on Qin Nan's forehead, and the runes crawling over his body vanished. Even the scroll had disappeared.
It felt as if it had all been nothing but a dream.
"What…what's going on?"
Qin Nan was startled.
The figure previously was the will of the Divine God of Battle.
However, he had already merged with the Divine Battle Spirit, and the flesh of the Divine God of Battle. Why would the will of the Divine God of Battle show up again?
Did the Divine God of Battle purposely leave it in his body?
Even so, why did the will of the Divine God of Battle turn up and forcibly destroy the True Scripture of Sky Taihuang as he was practicing it?
He mentioned something about the scripture being unworthy. Was he implying that the Sky Taihuang Dao was not worthy to become his Great Dao?
"I'll try again!"
Qin Nan cleared his thoughts and performed the hand seal again.
However, his figure shuddered as a force deep within his body came and stopped him, preventing him from completing the hand seal.
"My flesh is stopping me from cultivating the Sky Taihuang Scripture, which means…"
Qin Nan immediately took a deep breath.
He initially thought after merging with the flesh of the Divine God of Battle, the greatest mystery he needed to resolve was the Divine Battle Spirit and the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
However, it turned out that even his flesh had a shocking mystery to it too.
Perhaps it was the Great Dao that the Divine God of Battle had left behind, or something else.
"I guess everything will surface once I ascend as an immortal."
Somehow, Qin Nan could tell with his instinct.
Achieving the Martial Monarch Realm, the Martial God Realm, and ascending as an immortal.
The former two achievements had brought remarkable changes to him. He assumed it would be similar once he ascended as an immortal too.
"Brother Nan, are you done? We'll depart once you're finished!"
Qiu Hong transmitted his thought to Qin Nan.
He and Qin Nan had shared a body, thus forming a special bond between them. They could communicate with their mind within a certain distance.
"I'm done."
Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and stepped out of the room.
Since they were going to represent a Supreme Daoism Faction to attend an invitation to a feast, the formation was surely going to be spectacular.
Qiu Hong, as one of the five core disciples was accompanied by three peak Human Immortal Realm elders, nine inner disciples, and more than ten outer disciples.
"Brother Nan, have you mastered it?" Qiu Hong glanced around him when he saw Qin Nan and transmitted his thoughts as if he was up to something fishy.
"I haven't scolded you yet, and you are already mentioning it…"
Qin Nan snapped and rebuked the man.
Following it, the group took out their flying artifacts and departed at full speed.
Along the journey, Qin Nan was able to learn more about Qiu Hong.
He was surprised to discover that the man was the same as him in certain areas. The man was particularly fond of subduing powerful beasts as mounts just like him.
To his even more surprise, Qiu Hong seemed calm and collected on the surface, each of his actions highlighted his demeanor of a righteous cultivator, yet he was actually very cunning behind the scenes.
Qin Nan was speechless when he heard about the methods and approaches he had used in the past.
Time gradually passed. Two days later, the group arrived at the South World Immortal Emperor's place.
The South World Immortal Emperor had been around as a Peerless Ruler for quite some time in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, with immeasurable strength.
Previously, when it was said that he had defeated two Immortal Emperors by himself, there were rumors that he had achieved higher cultivation levels, and was only one step away from becoming a Nine Heavens Supreme.
The Blessed Immortal Land under his control was called the Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm.
The Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm was completely different than the Bliss Heaven Realm. It was located on the ground, surrounded by ninety-nine formidable mountains, like a unique space separated from the Heavens and Earth.
The cities and palaces served as a flight of stairs extending to the height of thirty-three thousand three hundred and thirty zhang at the top.
It was a place with a clear separation of ranks. Those at a higher place were able to receive abundant Qi of the realm, and some other benefits.
"Cultivator Qiu Hong, thanks for coming. Due to the number of guests we have, Master won't be available to receive you personally. I hope you understand. Your accommodation is ready, please follow me."
A peak Heaven God Realm inner disciple quickly came up as soon as Qiu Hong, Qin Nan, and the others arrived.
As they glanced ahead, the cities and palaces were emitting fascinating glows, as countless cultivators went in and out of them, resulting in a bustling scene.
Master Wuding was the Supreme Elder of the faction led by the South World Immortal Emperor. Even though his cultivation had only reached the Earth Immortal Realm, he had mastered the Four Extremities, meaning that he was within a few steps away from becoming a Peerless Ruler.
Many experts under the South World Immortal Emperor were incredibly strong.
His thousand-year-old birthday was remarkable too. It was considered a great occasion in the entire Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm.
"Such a strong presence of Qi!"
Qin Nan exclaimed as he entered the residence. His body unleashed a force absorbing the streams of Heaven Realm Qi into his body.
Master Wuding's palace was located on the third layer of the Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm. As such, his guests were all allocated to the third layer too.
Each place was filled with abundant Heaven Realm Qi.
"I apologize to you in advance if you aren't the Peerless Ruler that supported the South-Heaven Gate…"
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
Even though the White-Blue Flower had yet to show any reaction, he clearly knew that it had started influencing the Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm.
Not long after, the place would be bustling in 'joy'.
"Let's cultivate for a moment!"
Qin Nan exchanged glances with Qiu Hong before entering their respective rooms and sat with their legs crossed.
The Heaven Realm Qi was different than the Clear Sacred Force. It had a strong will of space, allowing cultivators to comprehend the obscurity of space.
Even though the power to control space was something that only Peerless Rulers could barely touch upon, it was still beneficial to absorb the Heaven Realm Qi now.
Meanwhile, the representatives of the Sanqing Ancient Palace, the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, and other factions led by Peerless Rulers arrived at the Ten Thousand Zhang Heaven Realm.
The disciples of Master Wuding came with invitations.
The feast was taking place at night, thus the successors of Master Wuding were holding a gathering before it.
Time passed fairly quickly when they were cultivating. It was time for them to attend the gathering.
"Brother Nan, let's go together, we'll have a chance to witness the talents of the Peerless Geniuses in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm."
Qin Nan's eyes sprang open when he heard the voice. He had long waited for this moment.
