Chapter 1616 – Golden Propitious Cloud
The Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm was vast and boundless.
The three Supreme Daoism Factions, the factions led by Peerless Rulers, and other factions and clans had only occupied less than a thousandth of the space available.
The rest of it consisted of various kinds of forbidden lands and unknown places.
Even the Nine Heavens Supremes had difficulty exploring them all.
Time gradually passed. Two days later, the three Peerless Rulers brought Qin Nan to a barren desert.
The place did not have a name, with yellow sand being the only thing visible into the distance. However, every ten breaths, a strong wind would blow. Even with Qin Nan's current cultivation, he immediately felt a chill running down his spine as his figure tensed each time the wind started blowing.
The desert seemed ordinary, but it was actually filled with danger.
Qin Nan strongly believed that if the three Peerless Rulers were not leading the way, even an Earth Immortal would have trouble leaving the place, let alone him.
"We're here."
The Bliss Immortal Emperor came to a stop and performed a hand seal.
The Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor and the Red Zither Immortal Emperor went over a thousand zhang away and performed a hand seal too.
"This is it?"
Qin Nan was startled. Not only did his Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle fail to detect anything interesting, he could only see nothing but yellow sand within ten thousand li from his position. Is there really something else here?
"The yellow sand within ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang from this particular spot is actually an ancient formation."
The Bliss Immortal Emperor gathered the Dao glow on his hands as he spoke, "It can only be activated with the right hand seals. Otherwise, even a Peerless Ruler will struggle to find the entrance still."
Following the words, the three Immortal Emperors had finished performing the hand seals. They placed their hands on the ground.
BANG!
An astounding scene took place. Countless sand particles started emitting a blinding glow, as they started forming a great formation like an ancient city in the air.
A hundred-zhang tall door stood firmly at where the eye of the formation was, with two copper statues standing on both sides, resulting in a stunning view.
Both Qin Nan and the three Peerless Rulers suddenly felt their own presence extremely minuscule within the formation, as if they were mere ants.
"So…so this is the work of a Nine Heavens Supreme?"
Qin Nan was startled. The formation had lasted over ten thousand years, yet its presence was still so overwhelming. Wouldn't it be crazier if it was still at its peak?
"Qin Nan, we're going in now. Remember, you must gather all your focus to protect your mind. Otherwise, it's going to be very troublesome."
The Bliss Immortal Emperor said with a stern look.
"Alright."
Qin Nan nodded and immediately gathered his focus.
Whoosh!
The Bliss Immortal Emperor unleashed strong immortal will to encapsulate Qin Nan and the others. They then flew toward the entrance together.
Qin Nan's wore an astounded look as soon as they went through the door.
He now understood why the Bliss Immortal Emperor had specifically asked him to protect his mind.
He just felt an unimaginable pressure surging into his body within that instant, as if the sky was collapsing.
If he did not endure the pressure from the Divine God of Battle and acquired the Divine God of Battle's flesh, he would have no chance resisting the pressure, and would suffer a mental breakdown temporarily.
The Bliss Immortal Emperor and the others nodded. It was quite impressive that Qin Nan was able to endure the pressure of a Nine Heavens Supreme with his cultivation of the peak Earth God Realm.
"It seems like the cultivation of the Nine Heavens Supreme is a lot stronger than what I've imagined."
Qin Nan murmured in his heart as he observed the surroundings.
The place ahead was in complete darkness, with only a blue stony path extending into the darkness.
Qin Nan could see nothing but the darkness even with his Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle. He was unable to see the true appearance of the Supreme Cave Abode.
Buzz.
The Ownerless Heaven Pattern in his Divine Sense seemed to have sensed something. It shuddered slightly, but quickly returned to normal.
The White-Blue Flower that merged with the crystal showed a reaction too. It began to emit colorful rays, as if something ahead had attracted its attention.
"If it is reacting to the place, it should be able to apply its influence to the cave abode."
Qin Nan was relieved upon seeing this.
If he failed to activate the Supreme Cave Abode, failing to obtain some kind of shocking succession was nothing significant, but failing to repay the favor of the three Immortal Emperors would be a big problem to him.
"Qin Nan, follow our steps, don't make any mistake," The Bliss Immortal Emperor warned and proceeded forward.
The blue stony path was fairly long. The group of four had traveled over a few tens of thousand zhang, yet they still could not see the end.
The path was surrounded by darkness. There was no sign of danger, or any kind of treasure or succession.
However, Qin Nan knew clearly that the darkness on both sides was full of life-threatening danger. A single wrong step, and he would reach the end of his life here.
Even though a Supreme Cave Abode that existed over ten thousand years ago would surely contain some incredible loot, acquiring it was far from an easy task.
"What in the world…"
After walking further for quite some time, Qin Nan's vision started to change.
The boundless darkness and the blue stony path had disappeared. They were replaced by a sky-blue ocean of clouds.
Among the clouds were ten golden clouds with immortal glows and strong immortal intents. Each of them contained a formidable, pure energy.
Without being exaggerating, the power that each of the golden clouds contained was comparable to the altar where Qin Nan had acquired the Forbidden Taboo Succession.
"Phew, it was still pretty scary even though it's our second time here."
The Bliss Immortal Emperor let out a relieved sigh and turned to Qin Nan, "This is as far as we got to inside the cave."
"We've already taken all the loot from this place. However, these ten golden clouds are quite suitable for you. You can cultivate here for now."
Qin Nan's eyes glittered. He brought his fists together and gladly accepted it, "Thanks, seniors."
He immediately went into one of the clouds with a flicker.
Strong, pure energy immediately surged through his bones and limbs like dragons, merging with his god force.
However, since the three Immortal Emperors were nearby, he did not unleash his Divine Battle Spirit.
"I've asked the Million Eye Immortal Emperor to refine these talismans. We'll know if something happens right away."
The Red Zither Immortal Emperor handed the other two a talisman each. Some time later, the three Peerless Rulers sat with their legs crossed and watched Qin Nan cultivate from three different directions.
Qin Nan felt strange being watched like that, but he soon calmed his thoughts.
After all, no Earth God in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm had ever been watched by three Immortal Emperors as they were cultivating.
It would surely cause great chaos if it was spread among the public.
Time gradually passed. Two days were gone fairly quickly. The god force in Qin Nan's body had saturated, it was time for him to breakthrough to the Heaven God Realm.
"It's happening!"
