Peerless Battle Spirit

Three days later, wisps of the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames were circling Qin Nan.

Through comprehending the Arts of Dao Seeking, Qin Nan finally realized that inventing a Dao Art was a lot more difficult than learning an Art of Dao Seeking.

Even with his outstanding Martial Skill Talent, he had no idea where to start. He had no choice but to wait for the right time.

However, he still obtained a lot of benefits from comprehending the Arts of Dao Seeking. He was more familiar with the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames and was able to utilize it with other Immortal Arts to turn them into his new moves.

“Kid, what do you have in mind next?” Doom asked.

“I haven’t found the Art of Dao Seeking of the Ten Desires Sect, the Ancient Bodhi Temple, the Superfluous Lifeless Sect, and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect. I must visit them.”

Qin Nan did not hide his intention.

Even though it was going to be troublesome, he had to acquire all twelve Arts of Dao Seeking to fully construct the Tree of Dao.

By then, his strength would escalate to a terrifying level. He would not be so passive when he made his way to the First Immortal Realm.

Despite mentally prepared for the answer, Doom could not help but twist his lips still. He said after some time, “I’m not familiar with the Ten Desires Sect and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, but the Ancient Bodhi Temple and the Superfluous Lifeless Sect are both in the Taimingtian Small Immortal Realm.”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.

If that was the case, it might save him some trouble.

He did not waste any time further. He told Ling Lanlan he was leaving and altered his appearance before heading to the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda.

He could manipulate his appearance and aura as he pleased with his current cultivation. Only cultivators above the Heaven Immortal Realm and had mastered some outstanding eye-techniques could see through his disguise.

Some time later, Qin Nan avoided the experts and successfully boarded a realm-crossing immortal vessel.

During the journey, Qin Nan took some time to inspect the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge apart from cultivating.

The battle at the Realm of the Primordial Blood had come to an end.

Jiang Ni, Meng Jinxian, and Lu Qingyin obtained a Fruit of the Heavens and Earth respectively. The Wengu Tribe ended up claiming the Tree of Wonderful Fruit. The rest of the Exceptional Geniuses and factions only secured some ancient Immortal Weapons.

In addition to it, the news about the Ancient Taboo’s intervention, how Qin Nan, Jiang Ni, and the others had joined hands to fend off the Peerless Rulers, and how Qin Nan had defeated many Exceptional Geniuses by himself spread wildly too.

Many cultivators were astounded.

Qin Nan’s name had caught everyone’s attention.

However, it seemed like the formidable factions were worried about the tie between Qin Nan and the Ten Immortals, thus they had agreed to seal off the news. Most cultivators were unaware that Qin Nan was a successor of the Immortals.

On the other hand, Qin Nan saw a news related to Supreme Rudao.

When Empress Feiyue became the strongest Nine Heavens Supreme, it seemed to have provoked Supreme Rudao, who proceeded to kill several Nine Heavens Supremes. The world was shocked, and many people began to call her Empress Rudao, as if the two empresses were being compared.

Time gradually passed, five days later…

“We’ve arrived at the Taimingtian Small Immortal Realm!”

Qin Nan and the rest of the passengers opened their eyes hearing the announcement. They moved simultaneously and proceeded on their journey.

“Which way to the Bodhi Prayer City?”

Qin Nan went to a city nearby and asked a cultivator.

He spent some time to familiarize himself with the Taimingtian Small Immortal Realm on the vessel.

The Superfluous Lifeless Sect had always been secretive unlike the other Supreme Daoism factions that had constructed a lot of cities.

The Ancient Bodhi Temple was quite the opposite. They had sent out countless disciples to construct Bodhi cities and ancient temples of various scales. As such, the realm was heavily influenced by Buddhism.

Among them, the Bodhi Prayer City was one of the two great Bodhi cities.

If Qin Nan was planning to sneak into the Ancient Bodhi Temple, apart from the Great Bodhi Ceremony that was held once every ten years, his only option was to visit either the two great Bodhi cities or the great ancient temple.

“Master, there’s a Heavenly Dragon Temple a hundred thousand li to your right. You will find a teleportation formation inside it…”

The cultivator placed his palms together. Qin Nan expressed his gratitude and headed to the Heavenly Dragon Temple.

Half an hour later, he arrived at the Bodhi Prayer City.

“Such a strong presence of Buddhism!”

Qin Nan scanned his surroundings in astonishment.

The ground, walls, and buildings had a faint Bodhi glow. He could hear the sound of wooden fish and the chants of scriptures in every corner that soothed and calmed his heart.

Most of the cultivators on the streets were monks too. It was rare to see a rogue cultivator like Qin Nan.

“Do you have any plan? Don’t tell me you’re thinking of sneaking into the Ancient Bodhi Temple and kidnap their Exceptional Geniuses?”

Doom said alertedly, “Please don’t try anything reckless. You wouldn’t want to mess with the monks in the Ancient Bodhi Temple. If they caught you, they will place you in the Bodhi Pond to brainwash you.”

Doom’s eyes had an intimidated look when he mentioned the Bodhi Pond.

Once, one of the Ten Primordial Evils that had achieved the peak Peerless Ruler Realm was caught and sent to the Bodhi Pond.

The next time Doom saw it, it was holding its claws together with a faint smile. It was not showing any hint of emotion, as if it had lost its soul. It was terrifying.

Luckily, Doom fled when he noticed something was not right. Otherwise, he would be caught by the monks too.

“Why would I do that?”

Qin Nan rolled his eyes. He fell into deep thoughts.

What options did he have?

Should he just blatantly provoke the Exceptional Geniuses?

Should he learn their whereabouts and stalk them?

“I almost forgot, isn’t Yuanji from the Ancient Bodhi Temple?”

Qin Nan soon transmitted his thought and strolled around the city.

“Mm? Why is this street so empty? There’s not a single person around, and why is the presence of Buddhism so weak here?”

Qin Nan halted in his track. He was intrigued by the sight before him.

“Immortal Meat Restaurant?”

Qin Nan was startled when he saw the wooden banner in front of a building.

The cultivators in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm no longer had to eat to stay alive.

On top of it, the monks in the mundane world were not allowed to eat meat.

Besides, he was currently in the Bodhi Prayer City!

Even if the place was not opened for the monks, its existence alone was a great disrespect to the Ancient Bodhi Temple. The Ancient Bodhi Temple would never tolerate its existence.

“This is interesting.”

Qin Nan went into the restaurant.

He was greeted by a pleasant aroma. He smacked his lips.

It was obvious that the immortal meat being cooked here was no ordinary meat.

“Hello, you have come at the right time. I’ve slain a Black Ferocious Ancient Dragon a few days ago. I’ve cooked it for three days and nights with immortal flames using my unique technique…” a voice said.

Qin Nan lifted his gaze and exchanged glances with the four pairs of eyes in the restaurant.

“Yuanji?”

“Qin Nan? Why…why are you here?”
