Shattering the Sword and Destroying the Flag
"So this is the bridge?"
A while later, Qin Nan slowed down his pace.
A faint golden bridge suddenly appeared in the middle of a dense ancient forest in the distance. It rose from the ground and into the sky.
Most strangely, there was nothing at the end of the bridge.
Qin Nan took a closer look. He immediately executed the Unstoppable Step after discovering its secrets. He quickly reached the end of the bridge by stepping on different spots.
An illusionary force suddenly descended and devoured his figure.
A few moments later, Qin Nan's figure appeared in another space.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan immediately scanned his surroundings when he noticed something.
Right now, he had arrived at a light red grassland. Above him was a patch of gray, and he couldn't see the five purple moons.
Three different ancient ruins stood in the four directions of the grassland. There were copper gates, beast statues, and towering trees. There were twelve of them in total.
Apart from a sword and a flag in front of one of the ancient fans, there was nothing in front of the other fans.
On top of that, there were a few hundred cultivators on the grassland.
There were people of the Primordial Tribes, people of the Supreme Daoism factions, but most of them were rogue cultivators. Qin Nan roughly scanned them and noticed their cultivation was around the eighth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm.
Currently, fifteen cultivators were chatting while performing hand seals and executing powerful Immortal Arts. They were fighting one another.
"(Sigh), we missed such a great opportunity!"
"That guy's talent in battle is quite ordinary, but he has a lot of Dao Weapons!"
The cultivators nearby were not too bothered by it. They were enjoying the battle and would comment on it from time to time.
"Cultivator, what's going on here?"
Qin Nan landed on the ground and asked the cultivator closest to him while bringing his fists together.
The cultivator was a young man in a blue robe. His face was as fair as jade, giving him the appearance of a young master.
Hearing Qin Nan's question, the young man immediately revealed a brilliant smile and said, "You still don't know? This is a map that appeared in the sky after the appearance of the five purple moons! "
"According to the map, there are a total of twelve Opportunities of Inheritance here, so we rushed over."
The youth suddenly thought of something and asked, "Fellow Daoist, your cultivation level is at the seventh level of the Heaven Immortal realm, right? If you don't, you'll be forcibly thrown out once you're discovered. "
Qin Nan let out a calm smile. It seemed like these people had already agreed to not allow anyone with a lower cultivation to participate in the battle.
"I have a seventh firmament Skyimmortal. Fellow Daoist, don't worry."
Qin Nan asked again, "Now that the twelve successions are right in front of you, why haven't you entered them yet?"
The young man pointed at the gray sky and sighed. "We have to wait for the moonlight to shine down, the sky to disperse, and the twelve statues to awaken from eternity before we can enter."
"If you force your way in, only death awaits you."
"To be honest, I've been waiting here for almost twelve hours."
Qin Nan expressed his gratitude. He immediately activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and glanced into the sky.
In the dusky 'sky', a strange energy had appeared, and it was slowly fluctuating.
It seemed like it would not take long for the moonlight to shine down and the sky to disperse.
"Mm? Fellow Daoist, your eye-technique is quite impressive! Why don't we team up later? On our side, we already have — "
The young man said excitedly.
"Chang Yu, are you trying to recruit people again? Behave yourself! "
Not far away from the young man, a young man with a cold expression snapped. He glanced at Qin Nan too, but it was just a quick glance.
The young man called Chang Yu transmitted his voice apologetically. Qin Nan waved his hand with a smile. He did not say a word.
Most of the cultivators at the scene had their attention fixed on the battle. As Qin Nan unleashed his aura, no one was observing him anymore. He was quite happy with the situation, as he stood in a corner.
More cultivators continued to show up. Some of them were peak Heaven Immortals.
Qin Nan even took a second look at a few of them because of their auras.
There were not many Exceptional Geniuses in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, but there were a lot of Peerless Geniuses. Many of them had achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm. They were only a step away from becoming an Exceptional Genius.
Their strength was not to be underestimated either.
As Qin Nan had observed, the gray sky began to react in less than half an hour. It began to rumble on its own. Wisps of ancient auras surged across the place and turned into strong gusts of wind.
"It's coming!"
The hearts of all the cultivators present trembled as they focused their gazes on the sky above. The dozen or so people who were fighting immediately stopped as well.
Whoosh!
After a while, there seemed to be a supreme saber light slashing down from the sky. The gray sky immediately collapsed into two halves, and three strange purple moons appeared above everyone's heads.
It was similar to the mysterious canyon. The moonlight did not pour down immediately. It first shone on a beast statue, then on a copper door, and so on.
When all of them were illuminated, the twelve strange objects shuddered at the same time. Following that, dazzling immortal lights burst out and transformed into all kinds of strange phenomena.
There were beasts roaring into the sky, figures holding swords, shadows of calamities, and many more.
As a matter of fact, the rare phenomena represented the successions behind the strange objects, and what kind of places they were.
There were some extremely experienced existences who could use these phenomena to determine which areas belonged to peerless treasure grounds and which belonged to peerless killing grounds.
"Let's go this way!"
"HAHAHA, it must be the successions of sword arts!"
The cultivators immediately became excited and began to discuss among themselves.
However, at that instant, among the twelve strange objects, the mountain of an ancient fan suddenly emitted a blinding moonlight. It immediately suppressed the other rare phenomena at the scene.
An ancient aura burst out of it and surged across the grassland.
"Behind this fan … there must be a peerless treasure trove!"
A rather old peak Heaven Immortal cultivator could not help but mutter to himself.
"Moonlight? Could it be that behind the fan is one of the six Land of Treasure that Doom mentioned? "
Qin Nan's eyes glittered. He immediately flew toward the fan without any hesitation.
"That guy …"
The cultivators who were still immersed in their excitement or were about to head for the other strange objects were stunned when they saw Qin Nan's actions. They immediately focused their attention on Qin Nan.
"Cultivator, what are you doing? Stop at once! "
Chang Yu was startled. He immediately unleashed the immortal force in his body and turned it into a giant hand grabbing at Qin Nan.
"What are you trying to do?"
Qin Nan dodged the hand with a flicker. He frowned.
He had not spent much time with Chang Yu, but he had a good impression of him.
"You … you don't know?"
Chang Yu was startled.
"Why are you wasting your time on him? Let's go!"
The young man with a cold expression grabbed Chang Yu and was about to bring him away.
"Brother, don't stop me, I'll tell him first!"
Chang Yu struggled for a moment before blurting out, "Cultivator, that place, is …"
Before he could finish, three figures with auras of the ninth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm flew up to the fan and glared at Qin Nan coldly.
"Senior Gong Wuhua and Senior Yun Zhongyue have their eyes on this place. The sword and the flag were left behind by the two seniors. If anyone dares to trespass, they will kill them without mercy!"
"Since you don't know the truth, we won't argue with you. Leave at once."
The leader crossed his arms in front of his chest and said condescendingly.
"Gong Wuhua? Yun Zhongyue? "
Qin Nan was startled, but he soon recalled that they were two of the three Exceptional Geniuses that had entered the Realm of the Primordial Blood. They were from the Extreme Living Gate and the Sanqing Ancient Sect.
He also realized that the reason why no one dared to approach the fan despite the rare phenomenon was because the two Exceptional Geniuses had their eyes on it.
To the cultivators present, if there was only one peerless genius, they might not be so fearful. However, if there were two of them, they would not dare to offend them at all.
"So he's just an idiot."
Most of the cultivators shook their heads after collecting their thoughts. They were about to make their way to the artifacts, but Qin Nan's next sentence immediately halted them in their tracks.
"What if … I don't leave?"
Qin Nan said calmly with a grin on his face.
"Cultivator, you …"
Chang Yu, the cold-faced young man, and the rest of the cultivators were astounded.
Was this guy trying to challenge the two Exceptional Geniuses?
"Not leaving?"
The three cultivators were startled too. The young man quickly collected his thoughts and said, "If that's the case, don't blame us for showing no mercy!"
The eyes of the three cultivators immediately turned cold. They unleashed their auras and executed their Immortal Arts to attack Qin Nan without showing any mercy. They were trying to kill Qin Nan.
"Too weak."
Qin Nan shook his head. He did not even unleash his aura. He simply summoned three clones and threw a punch at the three cultivators.
BANG!
The three cultivators cried out in agony as they were knocked into the distance. Their auras weakened significantly.
Even though the punch did not kill them instantly, it had left them with serious injuries.
Qin Nan went straight to the fan without looking at them.
"Such a strong cultivation!"
Most of the cultivators were astounded. Ordinary peak Heaven Immortals would not be able to pull off the same punch.
"Cultivator, be careful, the sword and the flag contain the will of the two Exceptional Geniuses …"
