Chapter 1595 – The Second Him
However, what Empress Feiyue said was quite the truth.
It was not difficult to become stronger among cultivators of the same cultivation level. All he needed was enough luck, determination, and confidence.
However, in order to really become a Nine Heavens Supreme, or even a Peerless Ruler, the path was extremely difficult.
"Is there really no other way?"
Qin Nan's heart sank. Countless thoughts crossed his mind.
He even considered the White-Blue Flower, he would go searching for the Ancient Immortal Places and activate them in advance.
However, he was unsure if the White-Blue Flower was able to manipulate the Ancient Immortal Places yet.
Normally, an Ancient Immortal Place was inaccessible until it showed up. Not every place was like the Liuhuang Battleground.
"There is."
Some time later, an icy voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind.
"There is?"
Qin Nan was stunned.
"Of course, there's a way for everything in this world, including activating an Ancient Immortal Place."
Empress Feiyue slowed down her pace of talking as if she was purposely intriguing Qin Nan, "When I attempt to ascend as an immortal for the second time, there were only nine Immortal Ancient Places, but with some trick, there were fourteen of them in the end."
"As for what the trick was, I'm not allowed to tell you, and you won't be able to do it now yet."
"However, if you promise to owe me a favor, I will let the number of Immortal Ancient Places reach fourteen and above."
She carefully planned her steps and finally revealed her intention atlas.
"…if you can really do it, I can promise you."
Qin Nan's lips twitched slightly as he spoke.
Even though Empress Feiyue did bring him a piece of good news and provide him with great assistance, he did not feel excited at all.
In just more than ten breaths, his feelings had risen and fallen dramatically twice in a row.
He was having trouble describing his current feeling.
Empress Feiyue did not notice his strange behavior. Her voice did not appear again, as everything returned to calm.
"She didn't even tell me when it's going to happen. It looks like I have no choice but to wait."
After a while, Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and shook his head. He quickly scanned the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge.
Perhaps it was because the Immortal Ancient Places were about to be accessible, there was quite a lot of information on places where people could improve their cultivation.
Some of the factions led by Peerless Rulers had great offers to attract people to their Blessed Immortal Land to cultivate.
"Forget it, I'll pay a visit to the Sky Taihuang Sect."
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and made up his mind.
The Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm was one of the Supreme Daoism Factions in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm. It also seemed to be the powerhouse among the three.
The copper mirror had rejected invitations from all factions, yet she ended up becoming an Honorable Elder in this particular faction.
The Peerless Genius called Qiu Hong was also from this faction.
On top of that, based on the information he had gathered, there were plenty of opportunities in the Sky Taihuang Sect for him to train and become stronger.
He could also take hold of the opportunity to learn how talented the geniuses of a so-called Supreme Daoism Faction were.
Time gradually passed. Two days were gone fairly quickly.
In these two days, the news about the Underworld Prince being slain by a cultivator called Qin Nan who was stronger than a Peerless Genius was made known to the public.
However, it did not attract much attention.
After all, the people were fixing their eyes on the Immortal Ancient Places that were about to show up.
Besides, the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm was different from the Canglan Continent. There were no entities like the Monarch Ranking or God Ranking to purposely spread the news around.
The death of a Peerless Genius was nothing too significant.
As for Qin Nan, he had been on the journey for two straight days. He was not too far away from the Sky Taihuang Sect.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan suddenly came to a stop and scanned his surroundings.
He had just noticed a strange energy ripple.
"Did Long Xuanling's people come to kill me?"
Qin Nan's figure tensed as the thought crossed his mind. He immediately gathered his god force, preparing to strike at any time.
Whoosh!
A few moments later, a wisp of purple-golden flame appeared in front of Qin Nan out of nowhere.
Inside the flame was a scroll emitting a gentle glow.
"What's this?"
Qin Nan was confused. He reached out his hand to retrieve the scroll. He broke the seal on it and directed his Divine Sense into it.
"Brother Qin Nan, it's me, Qiu Hong."
A fairly excited voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind, "I was just about to go and find you when I sensed your presence nearby, so I immediately delivered this scroll…"
Qin Nan listened to the voice. Even he gasped in astonishment after hearing the message.
He never thought that this Qiu Hong was actually the flesh that he had occupied when he visited the Nine Heavens with his spirit.
If Qiu Hong did not mention the Beast Hide Drawing, the old man with white brows, and everything that happened, Qin Nan would never believe they were the same person.
That Qiu Hong whom he met in the past had completely lost his life force!
"Even though Qiu Hong's situation differs from the princess as his flesh did not rot still, and I've achieved the Dao Realm with his flesh, but…"
Qin Nan was having a hard time calming his thoughts.
The ability of the Beast Hide Drawing had totally exceeded his imagination.
It was basically resurrecting a person from the dead. Even a Nine Heavens Supreme would have trouble achieving such an astounding deed?
"Brother Qin Nan, I know you're trying to improve your cultivation to prepare yourself for your attempt to ascend as an immortal."
"I've just accepted a quest with extreme benefits. Why don't you come with me?"
"I don't know whether you've believed me, but I will swear an Immortal Demon Oath, that no matter what happened, I will never betray…"
Qin Nan gradually recovered from his shock. He wore a smile when he heard the last few sentences.
It was not because of the oath that Qiu Hong had sworn, but it was extremely rare for him to stumble into someone he was familiar with in this vast Immortal Realm.
He sensed a strange warmth in his heart.
In addition to that, the relationship between him and Qiu Hong was not just ordinary accomplice, it felt as if they were close like brothers.
"Wait for me at the Silent Ancient City, I'll be there in a day."
Qin Nan transmitted his thought through the scroll before destroying it. He withdrew his presence and flew into the distance.
His body was tagged by the Seal of Heaven and Earth, thus he was accompanied by a murderous intent at all times.
Normally, the murderous intent was useful to intimidate anyone trying to pick on him. However, it was unnecessary now that he had arrived in the territory of a Supreme Daoism faction.
