Qin Nan agreed with Zhou Xundao’s words as he collected his thoughts.
Not a single Supreme Daoism faction or Heaven Highness Clan in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm could match the resources, art manuals, and artifacts in the first, second, third, and fourth stages.
The so-called Lands of Treasures and Blessed Immortal Lands were nothing compared to them too, not to mention these were only the first four stages!
What other shocking belongings would he find in the remaining six stages?
“Such a pity, I won’t be able to recruit suitable candidates and form another Army of Eternity since time is running short!” Qin Nan thought.
Even if he were to distribute the resources and artifacts to the people around him, he would only use a hundredth of the resources and artifacts that were available.
“Hang on!”
A sudden thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind.
“Senior Li, Senior Mo, bring Xu Ruochen and the others along. We’ll meet at the Sky Taihuang Sect!”
Qin Nan transmitted the thought before leaving Supreme Chang Xiao with a message.
It was time for the three Supreme Daoism factions to have a discussion!
Five hours later, the Sky Taihuang Sect in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm…
The three Supreme Daoism factions were under immense pressure ever since they decided to side with Qin Nan. Many disciples and even elders were murdered by the enemies in less than a month.
The Sky Taihuang Sect was preparing for battle too. Its three small realms had appeared with the runes of powerful formations scattered across the sky.
Qin Nan flew straight to the third small realm and landed in front of a palace.
“Cultivator Qin Nan!”
Several figures in the palace rose to their feet.
Qin Nan lifted his gaze. Li Ji’s crew, Supreme Chang Xiao, and the other Patriarchs were standing on both sides.
There were six chairs close in the front. Five of them were already taken by an old man in a red robe, a young man with long hair, a woman with an unusual temperament, and two middle-aged men who looked the same, but were wearing a white robe and a black robe respectively.
Even though they were not emitting any aura, Qin Nan could sense a terrifying power surging in their bodies. It was the power of Rules!
They were all Rulers of Dao!
“Qin Nan, the old man and the young man are the progenitors of the Sky Taihuang Sect, Progenitor Mingchu and Progenitor Linghuang! That woman used to be the Patriarch of the Sanqing Ancient Sect, Ruler Qingyu!”
“The remaining two who look the same are Progenitor Shuangdao of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect. They are actually the same person despite having two bodies.”
“They and the elders in the Master Realm are in charge of the decisions of the three Supreme Daoism factions,” Supreme Chang Xiao immediately transmitted a thought.
“Greetings, fellow progenitors and seniors, thank you for lending me a hand when I’m in a dire situation,” Qin Nan brought his fists together and said.
“Qin Nan, there’s no need to be so courteous with us. Chang Xiao has already explained everything to us. We didn’t really do a lot back then. It was all you,” Progenitor Mingchu said with a smile.
Ruler Qingyu and Progenitor Shuangdao shook their heads.
The cunning Progenitor Mingchu had brought himself closer to Qin Nan and the Sky Taihuang Sect with just a single sentence. He also belittled the favor which Qin Nan owed them.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, let’s cut straight to the topic. We have all made our decisions. How are we supposed to work together in the current situation?” Ruler Qingyu asked. Her voice was soft, like a soothing breeze.
“I’ll be straightforward then. I have obtained the six battling formations of the Army of Eternity. I believe the three Patriarchs are well aware of their potential.”
“I’m planning to bring the disciples and elders above the Heaven Immortal Realm and below the Ruler Realm of the three Supreme Daoism factions and under the leadership of Senior Li and Senior Mo to the Undying Cycle Mountain so they could cultivate there and practice the battling formations,” Qin Nan said.
“Splendid!”
A voice suddenly yelled. It was none other than Elder Long.
Elder Long was utterly excited when he imagined the outcome after the disciples and elders of the Supreme Daoism factions had practiced the battling formations.
Everyone immediately looked at him. The atmosphere in the palace froze.
“(Cough cough), don’t mind me!” Elder Long wore an awkward smile. Who did he think he was to interrupt the conversation between the authorities?
“Cultivator Qin Nan, if you are planning to form a new Army of Eternity, you will need an enormous amount of resources,” Progenitor Linghuang said.
“You don’t have to worry about that, I’ve opened the first four stages of the Undying Cycle Mountain,” Qin Nan said.
“The first four stages?” the eyes of the four Rulers of Dao flickered.
They were quite familiar with the Undying Cycle Mountain.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, if that’s the case, will they still take order from their factions or should they obey your commands?” Progenitor Shuangdao asked.
“I’m thinking that the three Supreme Daoism factions will operate as usual, but I’ll take the lead for twenty years,” Qin Nan said.
“Twenty years? That won’t do, only five years at most!” the four Rulers of Dao shook their heads.
“Fellow seniors, ten years is my bottom line!” Qin Nan raised his finger.
The four Rulers of Dao frowned and fell silent. Qin Nan waited patiently. He nodded after some time.
“In addition to it, I also want the three Supreme Daoism factions to provide me with their full assistance and help me slay Cang when he returns in the Thirty-Second Small Immortal Realm!” Qin Nan said sternly.
It was his main concern.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, it won’t be easy killing Cang’s resurrection. Many factions are also preying on Cang’s reincarnation. The Ancient Taboo is also preparing a plan in secret.”
Ruler Shuangdao let out a sigh after shaking his head, “No one can predict what’s going to happen when Cang returns. As a matter of fact, we believe it’s better if we stay out of it.”
“You should focus on preparing yourself for the Hundred Years Oath twenty years from now so you can become a Ruler of Dao and utilize the full potential of the Undying Cycle Mountain and the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.”
Qin Nan chuckled in his heart. Were they really going to watch the other factions benefit from Cang’s reincarnation?
Unlikely, Ruler Shuangdao had purposely said so so he could negotiate for more benefits.
