"Mm."
Qin Nan took the immortal jades and nodded.
"There's one more thing."
The woman said after a slight hesitation, "The westernmost part of the Dao Seeking Land is a very chaotic place. Rumors say that you can reach the end of the First Immortal Realm, the legendary Battlefield of Aeon."
"Even though it's a rare land of treasure with lots of fortunate encounters and natural resources, many Nine Heavens Supremes, including many peak Nine Heavens Supremes, have gone missing after taking the risk. No one has heard of it until now."
Qin Nan was startled, "The end of the First Immortal Realm? The Battlefield of Aeon? "
"The Battlefield of Aeon is the place where the terrifying battle took place in the past. Even though many traces of the battle have been erased over time, it's still a terrifying place. Even Nine Heavens Supremes might die if they go there recklessly. "
"Besides, it's the only place where an expert in the Master Realm can achieve the Ruler Realm."
Qin Nan nodded upon hearing this.
However, the Battlefield of Aeon was still a little far away for him.
The woman and the two young men took the initiative to take out the treasure maps to 'apologize'. Qin Nan did not reject them. He took them all.
He asked the woman and the two young men to swear an Immortal Demon Oath and other oaths to make sure they were telling the truth. They also promised not to spread the news that he had come to the Dao Seeking Land. Qin Nan let them go without troubling them further.
"Let's take a look at the bets of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect."
Qin Nan directed his Divine Sense into a piece of immortal jade.
He first saw all kinds of bets, such as when he would achieve the Master Realm, who would achieve the Master Realm first, and so on. He then saw information about the peak Nine Heavens Supremes, and a Supreme Leaderboard at the end.
The ranking of the Sovereign Leaderboard was based on each individual's battle achievements. There was also a note that stated that it was impossible to determine who was the strongest at the moment.
The first was Li Yangfan, the 72nd Saintess of the Li Clan, one of the seven Celestial Venerate Clans. She was a peak Supreme-Being who had only fought once, and she defeated the 83rd Saintess of the Zheng Clan, Zheng Hou!
The second was Zheng Hou, the 83rd Saint of the Zheng Clan, one of the seven Celestial Venerate Clans. He was in the perfected Dao Realm and was a peak Supreme-Being. Until now, he had killed six peak Supreme-Being Supreme-Being and twelve Supreme-Being Supreme-Being Supreme-Being. He had also defeated the ninety-ninth Saint of the Wu Clan, Wu Dongshan, and the ninety-fifth Saint of the Wu Clan, Wu Sheng.
Third …
There were thirty Nine Heavens Supremes on the Supreme Leaderboard. They were all peak Nine Heavens Supremes.
Apart from the Saints and Saintesses of the seven Heaven Highness Clans, the Shidao Tribe, the Mumen Sect, and the ancient tribes, Qin Nan also saw the names of the Patriarchs of the Supreme Daoism factions.
For example, Supreme Chang Xiao was ranked 19th.
They were only the Nine Heavens Supremes listed on the Supreme Leaderboard. There were more peak Nine Heavens Supremes in the Dao Seeking Land, let alone the Greater Success Stage and the Early Stage Nine Heavens Supremes.
Qin Nan was not surprised by the Supreme Daoist's ranking.
Leveling up from the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm to the Master Realm was different from leveling up from the Peerless Ruler Realm to the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm. The latter had seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth, but the former only had one Dao Seeking Land.
As such, most of the Nine Heavens Supremes in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would gather in the Supreme Daoist's Realm. Even the Nine Heavens Supremes who were active in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm would visit the Dao Seeking Land when they were free.
It was extremely rare to see cultivators who did not want to achieve the Master Realm after achieving the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm.
"That's fine too."
Qin Nan's eyes burst into white flames. It took him some time to extinguish them. He picked up the immortal jade the woman gave him and prepared to meditate on it.
A shocking sight unfolded before him as he peeked into it with his Divine Sense.
They saw an indescribably terrifying tree standing on a vast and boundless land. The tree trunk that seemed to contain boundless power rose straight into the sky. It was as if it was supporting the entire world by itself.
Everything would become as insignificant as dust in front of it.
"It's only a drawing, yet it already has such a terrifying aura. I wonder if I'll feel like I'm in a river when I see it in person."
Qin Nan exclaimed. He calmed his thoughts and immersed himself in the drawing.
Some time later, as Qin Nan continued to meditate, a wisp of aura surged across the rift and landed on Qin Nan. Qin Nan's figure gradually merged with the unfamiliar land.
If Qin Nan was considered an outsider just a moment ago, then he felt like he had just returned to his hometown, making him feel extremely close to home.
"Mm, it's very useful after meditating …"
Qin Nan gradually collected his thoughts. He was about to end the meditating process.
At this moment, an incomparably ancient will suddenly rose from the depths of his sea of consciousness and directly entered the painting.
At that instant, the scenery around Qin Nan completely changed.
He was no longer at the top of the mountain. He had arrived at a spacious land. When he raised his head, he could see the imperious and magnificent figure of the Celestial Tree.
"This is …"
Qin Nan was astounded.
Why would it turn out like this all of a sudden?
Besides, it was supposed to be an illusion. Why did it feel so real?
Suddenly, Qin Nan's eyes widened. A great chill exploded in his heart, causing his hair to stand on end.
He had just sensed a terrifying existence deep inside the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree. It had woken up from time immemorial and was staring at him.
Following it, a shocking sight took place.
The power of Qin Nan's eyes had reached an unbelievable level as if it had been strengthened by the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It was able to see through the enormous trunk and into the depths of the Celestial Tree.
There was a pond with a circumference of one li. A wisp of energy was floating inside the pond.
The wisp of energy was in the form of light and water vapor at times. Even though its aura was not strong, it did not pale in comparison to the Celestial Tree. It was quite eye-catching.
Within this aura, there was a sense of eternity!
Qin Nan suddenly had a familiar feeling, as if the wisp of energy existed for him.
"Could it be …"
Qin Nan was startled, "Is this the wisp of Indestructible Force that Zhou Di mentioned?"
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, his heart pounded heavily. A demonic aura in the shape of a snake came out of his body and uttered a soundless roar.
The pond and the wisp of Indestructible Force he saw suddenly disappeared. It was replaced by an altar with a circumference of one li.
The altar was pitch-black, with ancient words of different sizes floating on it.
The words would gather and take the shape of a book, a human figure, a boulder, etc. Whenever they took the shape of an actual object, it would unleash a tremendous demonic intent.
Similar to the wisp of Indestructible Force, it was extremely eye-catching even inside the Celestial Tree. Qin Nan also had the same feeling as when he saw the wisp of Indestructible Force.
"Isn't this … the Art of the Immortal Demon that Huangfu Jue invented?"
Qin Nan's heart shuddered.
The Celestial Tree soon unleashed a brilliant light that devoured Qin Nan as if it was aware of his presence.
Qin Nan felt his soul shuddering. When he opened his eyes again, he found himself at the top of the mountain again. Everything around him was the same as before.
The only difference was that the immortal jade in his hand was broken into pieces.
"Who would have thought that the two things would be inside the Celestial Tree!"
Qin Nan finally collected his thoughts after some time. He took a deep breath.
According to the woman and the rare phenomenon that took place just then, it was possible to speculate that the wisp of Indestructible Force and the Art of the Immortal Demon would show up when the Celestial Tree bore the Heaven-Reaching Dao Fruit five years later.
He was now heading toward the Celestial Tree. It was unlikely that they would show up on their own, or that the Celestial Tree would summon them and take them out by force.
Qin Nan looked ahead with a complicated look.
A strong wind blew at him from the distance, ruffling his hair.
