Peerless Battle Spirit

“They are from the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect?”

Qin Nan frowned.

From what he remembered, Qiu Hong never had anything to do with the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect. Why would he be with the people from the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect now?

And the strange look in his eyes…

Qin Nan’s heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Could it be that Qiu Hong had been devoured by someone else?

Qin Nan’s body trembled in anger as soon as the thought crossed his mind. The white flames in his eyes burned vigorously too.

A strong, icy murderous aura burst out from his body.

“What’s wrong?” Doom asked curiously.

Qin Nan took a deep breath. He quickly explained his relationship with Qiu Hong, Qiu Hong’s identity, and the doubts he had to Doom.

“Qin Nan, I’m afraid you should expect the worst.”

Doom said coldly, “Under the circumstances, it’s very likely that an authority of the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect has devoured your brother.”

He added after a slight hesitation, “The Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect is known for their cruel and inhumane methods. The Ten Primordial Evils are described as great evils, but we are nothing compared to the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect!”

“The cultivators that understood the nature of the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect would not hesitate to kill the disciples of the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect whenever they stumbled into them.”

Qin Nan’s gaze sharpened.

“If the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect did so, I will not forgive them!” Qin Nan said with a deep voice.

Qiu Hong was his brother.

If anyone dared to devour him, he would make the person pay tenfold regardless of their background and their strength!

“Let’s head over first.”

Qin Nan shook his head. He proceeded forward.

He still had a glimpse of hope in his heart, hoping that Qiu Hong was not devoured by someone else.

Time gradually passed. Not long after, Qin Nan arrived at the location of the Upper-Life Immortal Tree.

He found himself on a light yellow field. An ancient mountain was floating in the air around a few hundred li ahead.

The mountain was not emitting any immortal glow. It was perfectly still. At the top of the mountain stood a golden tree over a thousand zhang tall. It had an extremely thick trunk, as if it contained endless power. It was stunning like an immortal in a golden armor.

On top of it, even though Qin Nan could not see it clearly, he sharply noticed a remarkable force gathering toward the tree from different directions.

It was the Upper-Life Immortal Tree.

As Immortal Emperor Gulin mentioned, the tree was about to blossom and bear fruits.

“Many people are here already!”

Qin Nan looked to the bottom of the mountain not far away.

He saw the people of the Emperors Ancient Island, Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda, Nongyan Tribe, Wengu Tribe, and a few other factions, and lots of powerful rogue cultivators. He saw at least three hundred people following with a rough glance.

“Qiu Hong and the people of the Heaven-Repelling Ancient Sect aren’t here?”

Qin Nan soon frowned.

Normally, people would not easily give up on such a great opportunity like the remarkable Upper-Life Immortal Tree, knowing that it was about to bear fruits soon.

It only indicated that they must have something important to attend to.

“The direction they flew into just then, it’s heading deeper into the Six Unity Forbidden Land. It might have something to do with the Gate of Heavens that Immortal Emperor Gulin mentioned…”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.

There was no need for him to panic. As long as the Gate of Heavens was not opened yet, he still had time to compete for the treasure here.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan suddenly squinted.

He coincidentally noticed a young man wearing a long robe covered in runes, with long black hair and sharp brows among the cultivators of the Nongyan Tribe.

The young man’s cultivation was in the sixth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm. There was also a restless energy within his body. Even though it had yet to present itself, the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames in Qin Nan’s body still rippled.

“That guy is most likely Zhu Yan, the Exceptional Genius of the Nongyan Tribe!”

Qin Nan murmured. He shifted his gaze and looked at the cultivators of the Wengu Tribe.

As he thought, another young man soon caught his attention.

Unlike Zhu Yan, the young man had white long hair and pair skin. His facial features were distinctive with a strange charm.

Most intriguingly, every disciple of the Wengu Tribe had a unique character on their forehead, except for him.

The man was most likely to be the Exceptional Genius of the Wengu Tribe, Gu Xiaoyao.

His cultivation was slightly stronger than Zhu Yan. He had reached the seventh-layer Heaven Immortal Realm.

“Cough cough, Qin Nan, we can’t afford to expose ourselves yet.”

Doom tugged his neck inward.

He initially planned to spark a bloodbath, but it turned out that many peak Heaven Immortals of the factions had arrived, not to mention the two Exceptional Geniuses.

They would surely find themselves in a disadvantageous position if they were to start a fight now.

Qin Nan nodded. He put on a black robe and flew toward the cultivators.

Under the circumstances, the arrival of a fifth-layer Heaven Immortal was nowhere enough to gather any attention. The people would mostly glance at him briefly.

In addition to it, everyone’s Divine Sense was already sealed off. They could only detect Qin Nan’s cultivation without knowing his identity.

Of course, no one would have thought that Qin Nan was bold enough to show up here.

“Did you hear? That Qin Nan’s Dao Foundation was not destroyed. He even achieved the fifth-layer Heaven Immortal and killed more than a hundred cultivators of the Extreme Living Gate and the Nongyan Tribe!”

“Of course! Many of the factions are enraged. The Peerless Rulers told their disciples to kill Qin Nan at all costs if they stumble into him.”

“Tsk tsk, even the Nine Heavens Supreme of the Tribe of Immortal Spirits voiced out in person too.”

“Exactly, apparently that Qin Nan was extremely bold, he almost killed Lu Qingyin!”

“That’s insanely bold! But I also heard that these factions are desperately searching for Qin Nan because of some powerful artifacts he found.”

The cultivators discussed among themselves.

Most of the topics were about Qin Nan.

After all, what Qin Nan did was too impressive and shocking. It had completely toppled their impression of Qin Nan.

Buzz!

The rift suddenly shook vigorously as energy ripples surged in all directions like waves.

The ancient mountain began to emit wisps of mysterious auras as each leaf of the giant Upper-Life Immortal Tree on the mountain with different shapes emitted a blinding glow.

One after another seven-petaled colorful flower blossomed on the branches at a remarkable pace. A strange fragrance drifted in the wind and spread across the place.
