Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1735 - Immortal Emperor Duling

Qin Nan finally collected his thoughts after a long time. He immediately left the place.

He did not want to spend a second more in the Supreme Cave Abode since Supreme Rudao might come back again and do something weird to him.

Qin Nan proceeded on his journey while practicing the Arts of Dao Seeking.

After acquiring the Nine-Colored Dao Glow, he was able to comprehend the Arts of Dao Seeking quicker. He only spent four days to fully comprehend the General Outline of the Heaven Illusionary Ancient Scriptures, the Sanqing Mystical Scriptures, and the Dao Execution Scriptures.

He currently had nine Arts of Dao Seeking in total.

Normally, if a person had learned too many Arts of Dao Seeking, their strength would greatly reduce since the person’s Dao Glow, Dao Intent, and immortal force were insufficient to support every Art of Dao Seeking at the same time.

However, Qin Nan’s Dao Glow was extraordinary. It was significantly stronger than the ordinary Dao Glow, thus his strength would reach an unimaginable level when he was in a fight.

If he did not have enough time as he was not too far away from the Sky Taihuang Sect, he would learn the remaining three Arts of Dao Seeking—the Illusionary Dao Immortal Manuscript, the Reincarnation Dao Manuscript, and the Sky-Inheriting Inscriptions—meaning he would have twelve Arts of Dao Seeking in total.

“Each Art of Dao Seeking is obscure in its own way. If I have the chance, I should try and get the rest of the parts of each Art of Dao Seeking from the Supreme Daoism factions.”

“Of course, if I have the chance, I should get the Arts of Dao Seeking of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect and the mysterious Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect, or other Arts of Dao Seeking that are out there…”

As Qin Nan made up his mind, he arrived at the Yunluo Ancient City.

As the primary city of the Sky Taihuang Sect, it normally would not allow outsiders to enter. Qin Nan showed the badge that Supreme Chang Xiao gave him to the guards before he was granted access to enter.

After a slight hesitation, Qin Nan did not make his way straight to the Realm of the Sky. He visited a nearby inn instead.

As soon as he sat down, he heard loud exclamations around him.

“Empress Feiyue is truly impressive. She has just become a Nine Heavens Supreme, but she has already slain ten Nine Heavens Supremes!”

“We all know how impressive Empress Feiyue! Speaking of which, I heard an Elder mentioned that Empress Feiyue is going to fight two of the Five Great Supremes soon!”

“Are you serious? How long has it been only, and Empress Feiyue is already thinking of becoming the First Supreme of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm?”

“Gasp, she’s too terrifying. We should feel lucky that she’s our Honorable Elder!”

“Sigh, there’s no way I’m going to achieve a hundredth of what Empress Feiyue did with all my life! Forget it, let’s talk about something else. Lately, many Peerless Geniuses of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect and the Sanqing Ancient Sect have come to our sect. Have you heard?”

“A little, I believe they are going to hold a tournament with the Peerless Geniuses of our sect…” action

Most of the cultivators that were speaking were the outer disciples of the Sky Taihuang Sect.

Qin Nan’s lips twisted upon hearing their conversation. The copper mirror was truly remarkable.

“Speaking of which, I haven’t even congratulated her!”

Qin Nan patted his forehead and transmitted his thoughts with the red string, “Copper mirror, I’m sorry, I was busily reforging my Dao Foundation that I forgot to prepare a gift for you.”

An icy voice soon echoed in his mind, “What do you want.”

It was simple, straightforward, and expressionless, just like how she had always been.

Qin Nan coughed and said embarrassedly, “I do have something to ask. I just arrived at the Sky Taihuang Sect. Where should I go to take the resources?”

He had come for the Immortal Blessing material—the Dark Underworld Wood—and other rare resources. They were extremely valuable, thus he could not afford to just barge in.

Empress Feiyue fell silent for a few moments before she said coldly, “Someone will come to you.”

Qin Nan let out a relieved sigh. He brought his fists together at the rift and said, “Copper mirror, thanks.”

“You are the husband of the reputable Supreme Rudao now. Your status has risen significantly, why are you still being so courteous to me?” Empress Feiyue said coldly. She sounded a little displeased too.

Qin Nan did not take note of her displeased tone. His lips twisted at the mention of the topic. He immediately complained, “You have no idea. I didn’t even have the chance to…”

He told the copper mirror everything that happened in the Supreme Cave Abode.

Empress Feiyue responded a while after he finished talking, “How did you reforge your Dao Foundation?”

She was paying attention when Qin Nan was attempting to reforge his Dao Foundation. However, a force had suddenly blocked everything off. She was not able to sense Qin Nan’s status with the red string.

“About that, I was actually very lucky. I found the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames…”

Qin Nan explained thoroughly. After he finished, Empress Feiyue did not say a word further after a long silence. He had already gotten used to it too. He shook his head and closed his eyes.

Half an hour later, a sudden uproar took place in the inn.

“Greetings, Senior Brother Changkong!”

The outer disciples rose to their feet and brought their fists together to greet a young man with a scholar-like appearance.

The young man nodded slightly. He looked around before setting his gaze on Qin Nan. He brought his fists together and said with a smile, “I believe you are Junior Brother Qin Nan? I am the core disciple of Master Changxiao. You can call me Changkong. Master has sent me to receive you.”

Qin Nan quickly rose to his feet. He was about to greet the young man courteously when the man stopped him.

“Junior Brother Qin Nan, we are both master’s disciples. There’s no need for that. Come with me.”

Qin Nan nodded. They flew out of the inn under the astounded gaze of the outer disciples.

Meanwhile, the second realm of the Sky Taihuang Sect, the Realm of the Sky…

Inside a palace floating in the air shrouded by mystical rays like dragons…

Supreme Chang Xiao sat in the leading spot while drinking some ancient immortal tea. To his right was a white-haired old man with a goatee and a dark expression.

“Senior Brother, are you being serious? The other resources are fine, but why do we have to give the Dark Underworld Wood to Qin Nan too? His Dao Foundation has been destroyed too. He’s done for!” The white-haired old man said while withholding his anger.

He was one of the top three Peerless Rulers of the Sky Taihuang Sect—Immortal Emperor Duling. He was Supreme Chang Xiao’s Junior Brother.

Normally, he would not say a single word regardless of what the decisions Supreme Chang Xiao made or what Immortal Blessing resources he was giving away.

But today, Supreme Chang Xiao was planning to give away the Dark Underworld Wood!

He had long had his eyes on the Dark Underworld Wood. He always wanted to let his son refine it to achieve the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm. With it, his son would have a great chance to become one of the six core disciples.

To his surprise, his Senior Brother had decided to give it away instead.

“Well, Junior Brother, Qin Nan’s Dao Foundation was destroyed in our territory. I have promised to do him a favor, I can’t go against my promise, can I?” Supreme Chang Xiao said with a cough.

Those that had yet to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm were not allowed to know the true identity of the Empress Feiyue in the Sky Taihuang Sect. Therefore, he could not tell his Junior Brother the truth.

“But…”

Immortal Emperor Duling was about to speak again when Supreme Chang Xiao waved and interrupted, “We’ll talk later. He’s here.”
