Peerless Battle Spirit

The island master and the cultivators on the island began to wear a pitiful look.

Zhang Yuanrong’s words might be effective against others, but they were meaningless against the person before him. They might even make things worse…

BANG!

As they thought, Qin Nan kicked Zhang Yuanrong in the chest without any hesitation.

Even though Qin Nan was not using his power, it was still too much for Zhang Yuanrong who was only a peak Earth Immortal to handle. He cried out in pain and flew a distance away.

“You…you dare hit me…”

Zhang Yuanrong was in disbelief amid the enormous pain.

He had been roaming around the boundary of the First Immortal Realm for dozens of years, yet he was only beat up five times in the past.

“So? You have something to say?”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered coldly.

BANG!

A formidable aura immediately surged across the ancient boat.

The Weapon Spirit hiding deep inside it shrieked while Zhang Yuanrong and the cultivators on the boat wore pale faces while trembling in fear.

It served as a great contrast with the attitude they had when they first arrived.

“Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. I’ll let you go once you answered a few questions,” Qin Nan said.

“Are…are you sure?”

Zhang Yuanrong was overjoyed. He forced a smile, “Se…senior, feel free to ask me anything. I will tell you everything I know.”

He realized that the skinny scholar before him did not really care about his background, hence he should be relieved that he was still alive.

“Did you mention you have a sworn brother who’s an Exceptional Genius of the Shidao Tribe?” Qin Nan asked.

“I did, his name is Xiang Yuansheng. He has achieved the peak Peerless Ruler Realm. If he fights with his full strength, he can last for a thousand breaths against a Nine Heavens Supreme in the early stage.”

“The Three Great Peerless Rulers are no match against my brother!” Zhang Yuanrong said proudly.

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered. He said, “Is everyone from the Shidao Tribe has the surname Xiang?”

Zhang Yuanrong wore a confused look. If the man had such a terrifying strength and had completely ignored his background, wouldn’t he have a formidable background too, yet why did he sound like he knew nothing?

Despite being confused, Zhang Yuanrong replied without overthinking it,” Not necessarily, only those with a pure enough lineage in the Shidao Tribe has the surname Xiang.”

Flames flickered in Qin Nan’s eyes.

The Divine God of Battle’s name was Xiang Zun, and he had invented the Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript too. Could he be related to the Shidao Tribe somehow?

At that instant, Empress Feiyue’s icy voice echoed in his mind, “The Divine God of Battle was indeed from the Shidao Tribe, but from what I knew, he wasn’t on friendly terms with the Shidao Tribe.”

Qin Nan nodded. He asked Zhang Yuanrong, “Did you know why your brother is here?”

Zhang Yuanrong thought for a moment and said, “Nothing particular, but I heard he’s looking for some successor of the Immortals with the surname Qin, but I can’t remember his exact name…”

“Senior, you sound like you are quite curious about my brother. Should I bring you to him once he’s here?” Don’t worry, I can swear an Immortal Demon Oath that I won’t try to set you up,” Zhang Yuanrong said cautiously.

He was indeed not trying to harm Qin Nan. He was only guaranteeing his own safety.

What if the man changed his mind if he was in a bad mood?

“Don’t worry, if I promised I won’t kill you, I will keep my words.”

Qin Nan glanced at Zhang Yuanrong and said, “Sail the boat, I’ll leave once it reaches my destination. Besides, it’s my first time here in the First Immortal Realm. I have many things to learn still. You will explain everything to me.”

Zhang Yuanrong was relieved. He immediately sent his men to bring the four Peerless Rulers back. The ancient vessel unleashed a tremendous aura and flew into the distance.

Zhang Yuanrong stood beside Qin Nan like a companion, answering every question Qin Nan had.

The island master and the cultivators on the island were relieved.

“It’s my first time seeing a Nine Heavens Supreme with such a nice temper!” the island master exclaimed in his heart, yet his expression shifted as he suddenly thought of something.

Hang on!

Every person would have to come to the First Immortal Realm to look for their opportunities to become a Nine Heavens Supreme no matter how talented they were!

If the man was a Nine Heavens Supreme, why would he not know anything about the First Immortal Realm?

Which meant…

Meanwhile, on the ancient boat, Zhang Yuanrong too was absolutely dumbfounded.

He assumed the scholar was a Nine Heavens Supreme, yet to his surprise, he was only a Peerless Ruler!

However, Zhang Yuanrong remained well-behaved. The man must be an Exceptional Genius from a formidable faction.

“Ugh, senior, once we cross the boundary, we’ll reach the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm or the Supreme-Transforming Right Realm, where the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth are located!”

“Each sacred area occupies a vast space and is unique in certain ways. They will sometimes undergo mysterious transformations too. No one has managed to learn their mysteries even until today.”

“Besides, only the Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth have the fortunate encounters that are required to become a Nine Heavens Supreme, hence the name Supreme-Transforming Realms,” Zhang Yuanrong explained.

“Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth? What is their origin?”

Qin Nan raised his brows.

The seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth sounded quite similar to the Immortal Ancients. The only difference was, the Immortal Ancients did not have a fixed number. New ones would show up at times, while the old ones dissipated.

Besides, it was possible to ascend as an immortal too even without relying on the Immortal Ancients.

However, one could never become a Nine Heavens Supreme without acquiring a fortunate encounter in the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth.

“According to the elders of our sect, the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth already existed since the world was born. However, they weren’t the same as they are now. They only ended up like this when a huge battle modified the rules of nature,” Zhang Yuanrong scratched his head.

“I see. Is there anything else I Should know apart from the Sacred-Transforming Realms?” Qin Nan asked.

The First Immortal Realm had attracted every Peerless Ruler, Nine Heavens Supreme, even the Masters of Dao to it, thus it was obviously more majestic than he had learned so far.

“The Supreme-Transforming Realms are only the middle-lower section of the First Immortal Realm. The upper section of the First Immortal Realm is called the Void Heaven Realm!”

Zhang Yuanrong tugged his neck and said, “My father said that the Void Heaven Realm is the only place where Nine Heavens Supremes can become Masters of Dao, or achieve levels beyond it.”

Zhang Yuanrong was quite intimidated by the Void Heaven Realm. After all, he was already badly beaten up three times when he visited the Supreme-Transforming Realms for a few times.

Wouldn’t his life be in danger if he went to the Void Heaven Realm?

“Void…Heaven Realm?”

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered. He suddenly had an indescribable sense of familiarity in his heart.

He did not notice the fragmented purple crystal in his Divine Sense flickering briefly.
