Chapter 1549 – Showdown Between the Geniuses
"Mm?"
At that instant, Qin Nan immediately felt strong, pure Immortal Qi coming from all directions. The bones and god force in his body began to evolve.
Whoosh!
In shorter than a single breath, his aura changed dramatically as his strength evolved once again. He was now in the third-layer Earth God Realm.
"This man…this man is an Ascender?"
The cultivators on the vessel were startled. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Everyone knew that when an Ascender took the Sky-Stride Dao Stairs, their cultivation would break through to the Human God Realm.
Similarly, when an Ascender entered the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm for the first time, they would be strengthened by the immortal force too, allowing their cultivation to improve.
However, how could a mere Ascender possess a cultivation of the Earth God Realm?
Does this mean even the desolated worlds in the Lower Secondary Realm had outstanding fortunate encounters too?
"As expected of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, everything here is nothing that the other worlds could compare to!"
Qin Nan exclaimed as he absorbed the Immortal Qi and glanced into the blue sky.
It would take a long time just to achieve the Heaven God Realm in any other worlds, but here in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, he only needed half the time needed.
The reason being that the Immortal Qi around him was simply too abundant.
"Princess, Jiang Bilan, and the Divine God of Battle, I've finally arrived in the Nine Heavens that everyone dreamed of."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
As he finally stepped into the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, he felt completely different. He was excited, and could feel his passion burning too.
Buzz!
Meanwhile, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern in Qin Nan's Divine Sense began to shake vigorously while emitting light rays.
It seemed to be summoning something.
"Looks like I'll be able to learn its secrets here in the Nine Heavens."
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind.
"Fellow seniors, we've arrived in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm."
Not long after, a disciple of the Nine Streams Sect stepped forward and brought his fists together. The enormous Immortal Vessel gradually slowed down and entered an enormous city covered in an illusionary blue glow.
The city was called the Receiving City.
Its purposes were similar to the city located in the Middle Continent, the one that had lots of teleportation portals and served as an interconnection for the majority of the other cities.
"Did you hear, Wen Lan Immortal Emperor is planning to give away thirty Immortal Badge of Ascension!"
"It's not only Wen Lan Immortal Emperor, but Chang Zhen Immortal Emperor, and six other Immortal Emperors are planning to give away at least twenty badges too!"
"It's too bad that the empress is only giving an Immortal Badge of Ascension away this year!"
"Yeah, many geniuses have come to compete for Empress Feiyue's Immortal Badge of Ascension. The fight has been going on for two days and two nights straight!"
Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Earth God immediately heard the conversation around them as soon as they left the vessel.
The Immortal Emperor was referring to the Peerless Rulers of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
Ordinary Peerless Rulers were referred to as Immortal Emperors. Only a few would be given special titles, like Empress Feiyue.
"The competition has already begun? Looks like we are just in time."
Qin Nan halted in his track and activated the seal that the copper mirror had given him.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, right? Please come to the Canglan Ancient City, I'll be waiting for you beside the formation."
An imperious voice soon echoed in his mind.
"Canglan Ancient City? Looks like the copper mirror is the kind that cherishes her past…"
Qin Nan shook his head. He and the Blood-Eye Earth God quickly found the right teleportation formation and vanished into thin air.
The Canglan Ancient City was different than the Receiving City.
It was built by Empress Feiyue herself, an ancient ice city located on a boundless ice valley.
On top of that, when Qin Nan arrived, he immediately tensed as he felt great pressure.
"There are at least thirty immortals in this ancient city."
Qin Nan scanned around him with the golden eyes of the Divine God of Battle and soon detected several terrifying auras that even he failed to peek through.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, please follow me."
A young man in a white robe soon appeared in front of him. He made an inviting gesture and led the way.
"This must be one of the Immortal Knights under Empress Feiyue's command!"
The Blood-Eye Earth God was startled. Even the Drought Demon Heaven God barely had any chance to meet an Immortal Knight in the Shangxingtian Immortal Realm in the past.
The three soon arrived at the center of the city.
They immediately saw an enormous dojo floating in the air, surrounded by a huge crowd.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of deafening explosions was heard coming from the dojo, as two powerful figures clashed into one another fiercely like two godly dragons.
They were two young men in the Earth God Realm, both of them had mastered three of the Four Extremities.
"The fight for the Immortal Ascension War has almost come to an end. Please wait here."
The Immortal Knight in a white robe said and disappeared.
He did not speak an extra word that was unnecessary.
"The fight is coming to an end? What is the copper mirror trying to do?"
Qin Nan frowned. He quickly shook his head to clear his thoughts and observe his surroundings.
Even he was startled upon taking a glance.
Among the crowd, there were at least forty Heaven God Realm experts. The remaining young geniuses were mostly in the Earth God Realm and had mastered three of the Four Extremities.
Five among them had even achieved the fifth-layer Earth God Realm.
On top of that, each of their bodies had a strong power inside as if they were suppressed by an ancient seal.
"Isn't that Wen Lan Immortal Emperor's inner disciple, Luo Tianfei, and Jiu Jie Immortal Emperor's inner disciple…"
The Blood-Eye Earth God inhaled deeply.
He did not expect Empress Feiyue's Immortal Badge of Ascension to attract so many young geniuses here.
"The Symphony of the Gods and Demons!"
Meanwhile, on the dojo, a young man let out a loud roar and performed a hand seal to summon both gods and demons. The ghastly figures exhaled and performed an ancient melody.
BANG!
The young man opposite him was no longer able to stand his ground. He was sent flying after suffering from severe injuries.
"Number thirteen has won the battle, number forty-two has lots!"
A calm voice announced deep in the sky.
"Number thirteen, nineteen, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, and thirty-four are very strong!"
"I wonder who's going to secure the Immortal Badge of Ascension this year!"
"It's going to be very interesting from here onward!"
The cultivators among the crowd exclaimed in high spirits as the grand finale approached.
It was quite rare to see such a showdown between geniuses.
"I'll now announce the rules of the final battle. Number thirteen, nineteen, twenty-seven, twenty-eight, and thirty-four will all be going against number two."
The imperious voice added, "If the group managed to defeat number two, the last one standing will be deemed the victor!"
