Jiang Nan and Ghosthag's return from the uninhabited forbidden area caused a stir in Dusk Province. Countless immortals flew over and gathered in front of the forbidden area. Beside the forbidden area, the dragon jumped in fright at the sight of so many people and hastily hid behind Jiang Nan.
The dragon sneakily swept its gaze across the faces of the immortals. When it realized that the person who had beaten it up back then was not among them, it immediately heaved a sigh of relief. It could not help but become arrogant again as it walked out in front of Jiang Nan.
The immortals stared dumbly at the enormous creature. "Your Majesty," Xi Zhong murmured, "where did you get this dragon?"
"Insect, are you talking to me?" The dragon's nostrils spewed out two rays of Innate Inextinguishable Spirit Light, making people feel very annoyed.
Xi Zhong almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. "Why aren't you talking again, insect?" the dragon asked in a confused tone.
Xi Zhong retreated in defeat and Monster King Vulture squeezed his way forward, beaming. "Master, this dragon is so majestic …"
"I hate baldies," the dragon said disdainfully. "Don't touch me, I can kill a bunch of them with a single breath!"
Monster King Vulture took his leave with tears in his eyes.
Jiang Nan summoned all of the immortal kings in Dusk Province. Dao Of Gojoseon had returned from Feng Province to discuss how to refine the celestial altar of Incantation.
Starlight, The Underworld, Netherpassage, Earthly Sovereign, Divine Martial, Jing Tian, Nine Firmaments, and the Umbral Emperor had obtained the light from the source land that Jiang Nan had brought. They'd all established their dao palaces and ascended to immortal king realm, strengthening their strength. Add to that the many great overarching golden immortals from the three realms, and Dusk Province now had more than sixty immortal kings!
Although the world of immortals had experienced great development from the source land, there were still no more than two hundred immortal kings on the surface. Including the sixty or so connate divine kings who'd disappeared, there were less than three hundred, and Dusk Province accounted for one-fifth of them!
The Temple of Incantation was a forbidden area, but it was also a great opportunity for cultivators. It contained countless prehistoric cultivation methods and treasures of the dao of incantation. If used wisely, it would be an opportunity for everyone in Dusk Province to improve their cultivation and strength!
Currently, only the direct descendants of Dusk Province had arrived. It wouldn't be long before other Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords arrived!
Jiang Nan carried a forbidden area back from the no man's land. How shocking was this?
Moving the forbidden land back home was something that had never happened in the last 800 million years of the Immortal World!
True Immortals, Immortal Kings, and even Immortal Monarchs were unable to break through the Restricted Zones, and those that entered the Restricted Zones would suffer heavy casualties. Yet now, Jiang Nan had even carried the Restricted Zones back to his lair, and it was obvious how great of an uproar it would cause!
Of course, only immortal lords were qualified to explore the Heavenly Altar of Incantations. However, any immortal lord that wished to enter the Heavenly Altar of Incantations would need Jiang Nan's approval.
After all, this was Dusk Province, the territory of Sect Master Jiang!
Moreover, although the Heavenly Altar of Incantations had been carried to Dusk Province, it wasn't a paradise. There were still many dangers within. Apart from the astonishing arrangements left behind by the powerhouses of the Era of Incantations, there was also the lingering aura of the Nirvana Tribulation. Either one was enough to kill immortal lords and immortal kings!
Incantations killed invisibly, and could even easily destroy dao fruits. It was the most sinister and vicious of all. The lingering aura of the Nirvana Tribulation was even more terrifying, thousands of times more powerful than incantations, and even more difficult to deal with!
The slightest carelessness would result in death, and one's dao fruits would be gone. One would be completely annihilated, with no possibility of revival!
However, if one could obtain the essence of incantation dao, it would be a heaven-defying opportunity!
Jiang Nan had people invite Cloud Province's Phoenix Ritual Immortal King and Jiang Xue. Both of them had inherited incantation dao, and each had obtained five thousand immortal king level Great Daos from Dao Lord Myriad Curses. Their understanding of incantations far surpassed that of others. Though Dao Of Gojoseon, Starlight, The Underworld, and the others had also studied incantation dao, their understanding of it wasn't as deep as theirs.
Jiang Nan also 'borrowed' the Celestial Bell of Mantras from the Great Dragon and handed it to Jiang Xue and Fengyi, asking them to lead the powerhouses into the Heavenly Altar of Incantations for training.
It didn't take long for the immortal lords of the two palaces to receive the news. The two palaces were shaken, and one immortal lord after another descended to Dusk Province to meet with Jiang Nan.
This time, it was even more lively than when Dusk Province had been partitioned. Many immortal kings under the great lords also descended to Dusk Province to participate in this grand event.
Jiang Nan treated them with courtesy and invited the immortal lords to take their seats. As for the immortal kings, they had no place to sit, so they could only stand.
Elder Nature was the first to speak, chuckling. "Sect Head, this Heavenly Altar of Incantations is of great importance. Dusk Province can't keep it for itself. Can we have a share?"
Jiang Nan smiled, but before he could answer, Dragon Bodhisattva sneered. "Sect Head, the Heavenly Altar of Incantations is a sacred relic from the prehistoric era. You merely happened to arrive at the right time and brought it back from the no man's land. It's of great importance and shouldn't be left in Dusk Province. It should be left in the two palaces, lest it be taken away by thieves! "
Xuan Du Immortal Lord remained silent, while Qian Yuan Immortal Lord sneered.
The Purple Firmament Daoist suddenly chuckled. "Daoist Long Luo is so powerful. Why don't you bring back a forbidden area from the prehistoric era as well and offer it to the two palaces?"
Dragon Bodhisattva snorted and fell silent.
Immortal Lord Mingfan smiled. "Offering it to the two palaces is a bit excessive. Sect Head, the Heavenly Altar of Incantations is indeed of great importance. With Dusk Province's strength, it's difficult to explore it. Why not take a step back? We're also very interested in the ruins of the Age of Incantations. "
Kunlun Immortal Lord smiled. "We bear no ill will, Sect Head. The Heavenly Altar of Incantations will still belong to you. We won't take it by force. We just want to enter the altar and study it."
The eyes of the Immortal Monarchs flashed as they looked toward Jiangnan.
Yukyō Senjun smiled. "What do you think, Sect Head?"
Jiang Nan smiled. "You're too kind, senior brothers. I have the world of immortals at heart. Dusk Province won't be selfish and take the Heavenly Altar of Incantations for ourselves. Welcome, senior brothers, to the altar for training."
The immortal lords heaved a collective sigh of relief. Jiang Nan continued, "However, Dusk Province paid a heavy price to bring back the Heavenly Altar of Incantations. We mobilized fourteen million immortals, tens of thousands of true immortals, and several thousand immortal kings. We suffered heavy casualties to bring the altar back from the no man's land."
The immortal lords looked at each other in bewilderment. They wanted nothing more than to point a finger at him and demand to know where Dusk Province's tens of thousands of true immortals and several thousand immortal kings had come from!
Dragon Bodhisattva coughed. "Sect Head, someone clearly saw a dragon bring back the Heavenly Altar of Incantations. Since when did Dusk Province mobilize fourteen million immortals? A discerning person doesn't resort to insinuations … "
"If I say there are fourteen million, then there are fourteen million."
Jiang Nan glanced at him and said seriously, "Fourteen million immortals are like fourteen million mouths. The amount of immortal energy they breathe every day is an unimaginably large sum! To tell you the truth, I used to be quite wealthy, but to contribute to the world of immortals and bring the altar back to the forbidden zone, I've become poor! "
He sighed. "I'm as poor as a doornail now. I only have fourteen million men left. If this continues, I'll have no choice but to go out and rob."
Yukyō Senjun coughed lightly. "Why don't you explain it to me, Sect Head?"
Jiang Nan perked up and grinned. "So if you want to enter the Heavenly Altar of Incantations for training or treasure hunting, the protection fee … pfft, I mean the entrance fee …"
Yukyō Senjun raised a hand. "There's no need to explain, Sect Head. We all understand. How much and for how long do you want? "
"Ahem, I'm not greedy for money. I can provide protection for all of you inside, can I?"
Jiang Nan's smile was so wide it could blossom into a flower. "Of course, Dusk Province charges a fee for providing protection as well. One entry costs three thousand cubic meters of immortal liquid, and one entry costs three thousand cubic meters of immortal liquid. Senior brothers, as you all know, it took three years for my army of fourteen million to bring back the Heavenly Altar of Incantations. It took a great deal of immortal liquid to do so … "
The immortal lords' eyelids twitched. "Isn't that a little too expensive?" Immortal Master Primordial Truth frowned.
Jiang Nan beamed. "Not at all, not at all. The cultivation methods, treasures, and treasures of the Age of Incantations are all worth the price of admission. Moreover, my army of fourteen million traveled for three years and spent a great deal of immortal liquid … "
The immortal lords' expressions darkened as they felt the pinch.
However, compared to the restricted areas in the No Man's Land, the Heavenly Altar of Incantations was much safer. The treasures, treasures, and cultivation methods inside were also easier to obtain. They couldn't help but be tempted.
If they hadn't been tempted, they wouldn't have come to Dusk Province as soon as they heard the news.
Alas, Jiang Nan had bitten off more than he could chew. Every time he went in, he would have to use up an entire lake of Immortal Liquid!
The amount of celestial liquid consumed for each rescue would be even greater!
Of course, the high and mighty immortal lords didn't deign to ask for help from Dusk Province.
It wasn't that they, as Immortal Lords, couldn't take out so much immortal liquid. It was just that in the past, all the provinces in the Celestial World had to pay tribute to the Immortal Emperor Palace and the Immortal Paragon Palace. This was the first time the two palaces had to contribute immortal liquid to the Celestial Province. This made them very unhappy!
Jiang Nan stood up with a smile. "Senior brothers, please think it over. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be taking my leave."
He left on his own accord, leaving the immortal lords to look at each other in bewilderment.
"Is Your Majesty really going to open the Heavenly Altar of Incantations to the immortal lords?"
Ghosthag asked in confusion. "Your Majesty, there are countless treasures and cultivation methods on the altar, and the treasures of the Age of Incantations are astonishing as well. Are we going to let them off so easily?"
Jiang Nan shook his head. "They came with such ferocious momentum that they won't stop until we give them something in return. Moreover, it will take tens of millions of years for the Heavenly Altar of Incantations to be completely refined with Dusk Province's strength alone. But with the help of these immortal lords, the process will be many times faster! "
He smiled. "Compared to the treasures, cultivation methods, and treasures of the Age of Incantations, the Heavenly Altar of Incantations is the greatest treasure, the strongest treasures, and the richest cultivation methods! If they're willing to spend money to help, why not? "
Ghosthag was full of admiration.
"Ghosthag, if you deceive the heavens now, I will send you to the lower realm!"
Jiang Nan's expression was solemn. "Remember, never come up after you descend. Even if my wife or son ask you to, don't come up! Understood? "
Ghosthag's heart trembled. "Your Majesty, what about that divination master?"
Jiang Nan's eyes glinted. "I will deal with him and expose his true colors!"
