Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and said with a calm smile, "Since you all already know, I'll stick to what I said before. If I'm going against a faction that you used to belong to, it's up to you whether you want to help me or not."
Xu Ruochen immediately said, "I'll stick to my promise, as long as it's not a member of the Xu Clan or someone close to me, I won't hold back. I won't run away either."
"Agreed, Cultivator Xu!"
"Agreed, Cultivator Xu!"
The rest of the Nine Heavens Supremes blurted out.
"If that's the case, let's head out now!"
Qin Nan yelled and unleashed his aura. Princess Miaomiao and Jiang Bilan stood on his left and right respectively as they flew into the sky. The rest of the group followed closely behind.
The distance between the Westernmost Land and the Celestial Tree was extremely far. Their group was huge too. They had concealed their auras to avoid stumbling into other cultivators.
It took them five days to arrive at an ancient mountain range close to the Celestial Tree. They found a great hiding spot and waited for the people they had sent out to report to them.
Qin Nan used the time to learn about the situation around the Celestial Tree.
The Celestial Tree was extremely terrifying. Even after countless years of development, the cultivators could only reach the nineteen branches closest to the end. They would have to wait for the flowers to bear fruits to reach the higher branches. Otherwise, the cultivators would be crushed to death by the aura of the Celestial Tree.
The seven Heaven Highness Clans, the Supreme Daoism factions, the Mumen Sect, and the Shidao Tribe were located on the nineteenth and eighteenth branches respectively. The factions of the Hundred Primordial Tribes and the Rulers of Dao did not occupy their own branches. Instead, they had teamed up with one another and occupied the seventeenth to the third branches. They had established several ancient cities. Among them, there were only a few that were on par with the Supreme Daoism factions.
There were fifteen cities.
The remaining two branches were occupied by rogue cultivators.
That being said, it did not necessarily mean rogue cultivators or other factions were not allowed to ascend to the nineteenth or eighteenth branches. However, the Heaven Highness Clans and Supreme Daoism factions only had to abide by the rules they had set.
Another thing worth mentioning was that other than when the Celestial Tree bloomed and bore fruit, no cultivators were allowed to fly directly to the nineteen branches. Otherwise, they would be crushed to death by the pressure. They had to stay in the ancient city on the ground and pay a certain amount of heavenly materials and earthly treasures to take the corresponding teleportation formation.
"The news has come."
Jiang Bilan glanced at the glowing badge. She flicked her finger and turned the message into lines of words floating in the air.
"In the Wang Clan, Wang Tianfang, who is ranked fourth on the Sovereign Leaderboard and the seventy-fourth Holy Son, went into seclusion a month ago, and he hasn't left yet. There are also two peak Nine Heavens Supremes and six Greater Success Supremes in the clan.
"In the Li Clan, Li Yangfan, who is ranked first on the Sovereign Leaderboard and the seventy-second Saintess, is still around. We can't confirm if she's still around. We only know there's one peak Nine Heavens Supreme and one in the Greater Success Stage."
"In the Xu Clan, Xu Chenyan, who is ranked sixth on the Sovereign Leaderboard and the eightieth Saintess, is still around. It's her brother's birthday in three days. They have invited a few other Saints and Saintesses who are close to them …"
"In the Zheng Clan, Zheng Hou, who is ranked second on the Sovereign Leaderboard and the eighty-third Holy Son, went into seclusion two months ago …"
The information was listed one by one in an orderly and clear manner.
Qin Nan was not familiar with the people on the Sovereign Leaderboard and the situation of the factions, thus he was reading the messages carefully.
He raised his brows when he saw the third last message.
The Extreme Living Gate, the Ten Desires Sect, and the Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate were going to form an alliance and hold a banquet?
"Xiao Nanzi, many factions have teamed up to take you out. There are quite a lot of Nine Heavens Supremes on the Celestial Tree, so we can only pick one or two to deal with first."
Princess Miaomiao frowned.
If they were to make a move, it would surely cause a huge commotion. If they were to eliminate the Nine Heavens Supremes of one or two factions before making a move on the other factions, they would surely be surrounded by the other factions.
"Indeed, if we were to make a move and withdraw, the other factions will surely be alerted. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to make a move again," Xu Ruochen said.
"It's fine.
If that's the case, let's pay our old friends Daoist Qianlong and Supreme Wanqing a visit. We'll pay Holy Monk Wangjin a visit later. "
Qin Nan squinted.
"The banquets of the three Supreme Daoism factions will be held tomorrow night. We have a lot of people on our side, so we'll send a group of people over today to prevent anyone from noticing us."
Jiang Bilan suggested.
"Mm, Cultivator Xu, you will lead a group of people. Elder Long, you will lead the rest. Remember, you have to split up when the time comes. "
Qin Nan said.
"Got it!"
Xu Ruchen and Elder Long did not waste any time. They proceeded to pick the cultivators and split them into a few groups before flying out of the mountain range.
Princess Miaomiao and Jiang Bilan were startled.
"What is it?"
Qin Nan asked.
"I just sensed an aura similar to the Flower of Eternity."
Princess Miaomiao's eyes were filled with confusion.
"An aura similar to the Flower of Eternity? Is it from the Celestial Tree? "
Qin Nan was startled when he saw the two women shaking their heads.
How could there be an aura similar to the Flower of Eternity apart from the Indestructible Force of the Celestial Tree?
"Could it be … Xiang Hun?"
A shocking thought crossed Qin Nan's mind.
Xiang Hun had betrayed him to steal the Flower of Eternity to refine the Indestructible Flesh of Eternity.
However, if Xiang Hun had the aura of the Indestructible Force of Eternity, he must have refined the Indestructible Flesh of Eternity. Why would he come to the Dao Seeking Land?
Even though Xiang Hun was the Sixth Immortal, he was only in the Master Realm. He would have to pay a great price if he tried to break the rules of the Dao Seeking Land.
"Is he the Sixth Immortal who betrayed you?"
Princess Miaomiao and Jiang Bilan asked.
"That's right, he must be here for me."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered murderously. He was more convinced of Zhou Di's past life after the incident at the Battlefield of Aeon. He also hated Xiang Hun more.
"By the way, if you can sense his presence, does that mean he can sense your presence too?"
Qin Nan asked. He believed it was best not to let Xiang Hun know about the White-Blue Flower in Princess Miaomiao and Jiang Bilan's Divine Sense.
