Chapter 1561 – Flower of the Herb God
(Cough cough) The Senior Brother that was totally overwhelmed spat out a mouthful of blood and yelled, "Qin Nan has concealed his cultivation. We must team up and execute the South Illusionary Immortal Gate Formation to suppress him!"
Regardless of how scornful the disciples of Peerless Rulers and Supreme Daoism factions were, they were able to react quickly when they discovered themselves in a disadvantageous position in the middle of a battle.
They basically would not act recklessly.
"South Illusionary Immortal Gate Formation!"
The other seven cultivators immediately reacted and uttered a roar while performing hand seals.
They spread out simultaneously in a circle and surrounded Qin Nan.
In just half a breath's time, the runes of an immortal formation appeared in the air.
An imperious, mysterious gate over a hundred zhang tall appeared above Qin Nan.
"What in the world…"
Qin Nan's eyes slightly squinted.
He sensed something familiar from the gate.
"Qin Nan, are you scared now? Well, it's too late!" The seven cultivators thought Qin Nan was intimidated after seeing his reaction. They burst into laughter and waved their hands, "Suppress!"
The mysterious gate exploded.
Strong ripples spread rapidly in the air.
"Destruction Battle Saber!"
Qin Nan's aura changed tremendously. He merged the Destruction Will and the Will of the Divine God of Battle with the Heaven-Shattering Saber as he slashed forward.
BANG!
The mysterious gate was shattered into pieces instantly.
"How could this be?"
The seven cultivators and their Senior Brother were dumbfounded. They could not believe their eyes.
"Did…did…did you already master the Four Extremities?"
The Senior Brother wore a terrified look as a thought crossed his mind.
There was only one possibility to Qin Nan's extraordinary strength. He must have mastered the Four Extremities, which made him a Peerless Genius.
"No," Qin Nan shook his head and said with a calm look, "I have reached beyond the Four Extremities."
The eight cultivators were stunned.
Beyond…beyond the Four Extremities?
However, before they could find an answer to their doubts, a terrifying saber intent descended from above and shattered their figures.
"South Illusionary Immortal Gate Formation, it seems like this South World Immortal Emperor is the mysterious backer behind the South-Heaven Gate."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself as his eyes flickered coldly.
If his speculation was right, he would surely crush the South World Immortal Emperor one day.
Although he had never crossed paths with the South World Immortal Emperor, the conflict between them was already unresolvable.
That being said, it was only his speculation. He still could not prove it yet. He could only capture the South World Immortal Emperor's core disciples or his successors to learn the answer.
"Qin Nan, here is the treasure," The Blood-Eye Earth God flew out from the bottom of the river with a dull look, "There are only twenty pieces. The rest of them are fake. They look similar, but they are completely useless."
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and said, "Twenty pieces are fine. Let's leave this place."
They flew into the distance and found a cave in a valley. They set up several formations as a safety precaution.
The Blood-Eye Earth God wanted to give Qin Nan all the loot, but Qin Nan rejected, and only took ten of them.
"Let's see if the Ownerless Heaven Pattern is going to react to them."
Qin Nan sat with his legs crossed, preparing to refine the natural resources. However, a strong force appeared once again and absorbed the natural resources away.
Buzz!
The Ownerless Heaven Pattern began to tremble slightly. The light dot on it grew brighter, as if it was going to evolve.
A few hundred breaths later, the process finally came to an end. The light dot had turned into a flower.
The flower had six petals, and a wisp of dark blue force filled with the presence of life.
Even the Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle were unable to see its secrets.
"Not sure what can the flower be used for, I shall use my Divine Sense to communicate with it…"
Qin Nan murmured and reached out with his Divine Sense.
Whoosh!
The blue flower shuddered as wisps of strong life force entered Qin Nan's limbs and bones.
Qin Nan only felt his whole body turning extremely warm like a furnace.
"Does that mean…"
A thought crossed Qin Nan's mind. He swung the Heaven-Shattering Saber without hesitation, leaving a one-inch cut on his arm.
However, as soon as the cut appeared, the life force immediately healed it, as if nothing had ever happened.
"The life force emitted by the flower is able to treat my wounds!"
Qin Nan was startled, before his face was filled with joy.
The effect sounded simple, yet it was extremely important. It was incredibly useful to him.
For example, when both sides were about to die during a fight, if he was able to fully recover from his injuries, it would simply decide the outcome of the fight.
"Besides, this blue flower is similar to the Divine Battle Spirit. It's able to evolve further after gathering enough resources, by then…"
Qin Nan's heart began to race upon having this thought.
However, an unexpected change took place!
The blue flower seemed to have noticed something. It slowly moved away from the Ownerless Heaven Pattern and started moving closer to the crystal in the pattern.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan frowned. What is this blue flower up to?
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the blue flower quickened its pace and dissolved into the crystal, merging with the hint of white aura that was left behind after Princess Miao Miao's death.
The crystal started trembling vigorously.
Blue rays were emitted from the crystal.
It felt like a huge bell was being struck, as if it was telling the world that something forbidden had just happened.
"Vast universe…countless of lives…immortals…the Herb God…soulless…raging flames of wrath…"
Before Qin Nan could react, a deep, ancient voice spoke inside his mind.
Countless scenes flashed past his mind.
When it all came to an end, the crystal finally stopped evolving. The place retained its calm.
When Qin Nan looked at the crystal again, the blue flower had thoroughly merged with the Princess into a white-blue flower, emitting a mysterious golden glow.
There were now seven petals on it.
