Doom’s eyes slightly glittered as he spoke, “Do you know how you can become a Peerless Ruler upon reaching the peak Heaven Immortal Realm?”
Qin Nan frowned and said, “Of course, those who mastered the Four Extremities and reached the peak Heaven Immortal Realm are considered Peerless Rulers, while those that reached the peak Peerless Ruler Realm and refined the Dao Crystal were called the Nine Heavens Supremes.”
He once heard that the Peerless Ruler and the Nine Heavens Supreme were actually still in the Heaven Immortal Realm. They were just titles instead of different levels of cultivation.
“If that’s the case, I believe you’ve really underestimated the Peerless Rulers and the Nine Heavens Supremes.”
Doom said disdainfully, “Apart from the conditions you mentioned, the most important condition to become a Peerless Ruler and a Nine Heavens Supreme is to exceed the Heavens and Earth, and the Great Dao respectively.”
“The Peerless Ruler and the Nine Heavens Supreme might not be different levels of cultivation, but the transcendence is extremely important. It will let the power in your body evolve tremendously.”
Qin Nan was stunned.
“Kid, cultivation doesn’t only involve improving the immortal force in your body and your cultivation level, it’s also breaking free from the chains that the Heavens and Earth, and the Great Dao have placed on you.”
“Once you completely break free from the chains, you will truly transcend.”
“What do I mean by transcending? The laws and the rules of the world will no longer be able to restrict you. You will truly exceed everything and become an immortal, since even time won’t be able to bind you.”
Doom explained carefully.
The words served as a great shock to Qin Nan.
In the past, he had broken the rules over and over again, making him stronger and unbeatable among cultivators of his level.
He finally understood why was that the case.
“So how is this related to the Upper-Life Immortal Tree?” Qin Nan asked after taking a deep breath.
“The tree is one of the rare trees nurtured by nature. Its fruits will help a person to exceed the Heavens and Earth. Don’t think of it lightly, many peak Heaven Immortals are stuck in this phase.”
“Exceptional Geniuses like you, in particular, have stronger seals of the Heavens and Earth. It would be extremely difficult for you to break free from the chains,” Doom said.
There was one thing he did not mention.
If Doom was to use the fruits of the Upper-Life Immortal Tree on himself, he could replenish his strength, allowing him to break free from some of the chains of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron.
“According to Senior Gulin, the so-called Gate of Heavens is not fully open yet, which means the Nine Heavens Supremes have yet to make their moves. It’s fine to check out the Upper-Life Immortal Tree first.”
“If the Gate of Heavens is open, I won’t have time for things like this.”
Qin Nan immediately made up his mind after analyzing the situation. He flew deeper into the place.
Meanwhile, countless battles were taking place across the entire Six Unity Forbidden Land…
No one, including Qin Nan himself, knew that the White-Blue Flower in Qin Nan’s Divine Sense had been emitting wisps of energy into the deepest region of the place all along.
Currently in the outermost area of the forbidden land…
Following a series of cries of agony, a peak Earth Immortal’s brown eyes suddenly turned pitch-black. His expression of pain was replaced with strong hatred.
“Qin Nan, I’ve put so much effort into refining my flesh, but you’ve ruined it just like that!” the peak Earth Immortal groaned.
The man was none other than Long Xuanling.
After escaping with a forbidden art, he immediately devoured someone else’s body.
“Senior Supreme South World, I’m sorry, I didn’t think it would end up like this…”
Long Xuanling drew a few runes to form a special seal. He transmitted a thought with it before drawing a few other runes and whispered, “Tell master that I will help him find the things he needed, and he will kill Qin Nan on behalf of me in return.”
His eyes flickered menacingly.
He had failed to kill Qin Nan in so many attempts. He was getting more cautious when trying to deal with Qin Nan. He had decided to use everything he had instead.
He was not satisfied even if a Nine Heavens Supreme was after Qin Nan!
Long Xuanling rested briefly after he was done. He went ahead to rob some of the Human Immortals. He finally left the Six Unity Forbidden Land after a slight hesitation.
He just needed to wait patiently for his prey on Feiyue Immortal Bridge!
Time gradually passed. Three hours were gone in the blink of an eye.
Qin Nan sprinted for some time and gradually approached the inner sector of the place. He did find a few places with successions along the way, yet he turned down Doom’s suggestions to check them out.
He did not come here to improve his strength.
“There are seven immortal rays representing rare phenomena in the distance. The Upper-Life Immortal Tree must be one of the. Wait here, I’ll be back soon.”
Doom turned into the illusionary beast form and left.
After some time, he returned and pointed in a direction. Qin Nan did not ask further. He immediately headed in the direction.
“So many cultivators have arrived.”
As Qin Nan moved closer to the destination, he activated his Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and was astounded to see a powerful presence swiping across the sky.
These auras were mostly Heaven Immortals, and some among them had reached the peak Heaven Immortal Realm.
It was likely that the news about the Upper-Life Immortal Tree had spread among the cultivators judging from the situation. The competition was going to be a lot fiercer than the battle in the pit before.
“The Heaven Immortals of a few formidable factions would be there. I am able to massacre them again.”
Doom’s eyes flickered murderously.
He had not fully enjoyed himself in the previous battle.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan suddenly came to a stop.
He detected a familiar aura from a person leading a group of cultivators in black robes.
“Qiu…Qiu Hong?”
Qin Nan took a closer look and was stunned.
Why was Qiu Hong here?
Besides, judging from his aura, how did he reach the first-layer Heaven Immortal Realm already?
He had just achieved the Human Immortal Realm when they parted ways at the Supreme Cave Abode.
Did he find some incredible succession?
“Qiu Hong is pretty impressive too.”
Qin Nan smiled. He immediately yelled his name.
After what they had gone through, he had now treated Qiu Hong like his own younger brother.
As he expected, Qiu Hong came to a stop and turned around when he heard Qin Nan’s yell.
However, Qin Nan’s eyes widened when he saw Qiu Hong’s face.
His eyes had turned pitch-black, and within them was a mysterious and formidable aura resembling a deep abyss.
Most importantly…
The eyes did not display any hint of emotion, like he was a complete stranger.
Qiu Hong only glanced at him briefly without wearing any expression, nor saying any word. He left with the other cultivators and disappeared into the distance.
“Qin Nan, you know these people from the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect?” Doom suddenly spoke in an icy tone.
