Peerless Battle Spirit

Qin Nan was startled. He quickly took a deep breath and said, “Senior, I was still weak when Empress Feiyue told me the Divine God of Battle’s name was a taboo in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, hence I never found out his name.”

“But I’m now in the Greater Success Stage of the Peerless Ruler Realm. I can now protect myself in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”

“If senior knows the truth, I hope senior can tell me,” Qin Nan brought his fists together again.

There were too many mysteries related to him. What was the Seventh Immortal up to in the Six Unity Forbidden Land? Where did the Ownerless Heaven Pattern come from? How were the Divine God of Battle and the Beast Hide Drawing related to one another? Who was his past life?

Qin Nan was not in a rush to find the answers to these questions. He knew he would find the answers eventually as he grew stronger.

However, he had a different approach when the Divine God of Battle was involved.

The reason was that the Divine God of Battle had been guiding him in every step since he was still in the Canglan Continent until now in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. The Divine God of Battle had done a lot for him.

Therefore, he would like to learn more about the Divine God of Battle if he had the chance. He would try his best to fulfill any last wishes that the Divine God of Battle had.

Heavenly Master Shehuang smiled. He rose to his feet and paced up and down in the residence, “During the ancient times, before the epic battle broke out, there are many cultivators stronger than the Master Realm.”

“But why were the Divine God of Battle and the others called the Ten Immortals? And why did each of the Ten Immortals have such a huge influence in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm?”

“That is because, the title of the Ten Immortals is related to a secret that even those stronger than the Ten Immortals were terrified of.”

Immortal flames flickered in Qin Nan’s eyes.

Doom in the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron straightened his ears too.

Although Heavenly Master Shehuang was only briefly touching upon the topic, it still gave out a lot of information.

The meaning behind the title of the Immortals, the cultivators stronger than the Master Realm, the mysterious battle during the ancient times!

Heavenly Master Shehuang looked at Qin Nan thoughtfully, “Among the Ten Immortals, the Divine God of Battle used to be the strongest Master of Dao in the Nine Heavens. He was the most special, and his strength was unmatchable.”

“And because of that, he was different from the rest of the Immortals. His name of the Divine God of Battle alone was considered a taboo in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Even the Peerless Rulers would find themselves in danger if they mentioned his name.”

“However, you’ve indeed grown a lot. You now have the right to know, that the Divine God of Battle’s name, is Xiang Zun!”

A great storm occurred in the realm when the name was uttered. The atmosphere greatly intensified all of a sudden.

Qin Nan could not help but shudder.

“Xiang Zun?”

Qin Nan mumbled with a blank face.

It felt like he had reclaimed something that was long missing in his heart the moment he heard the name.

It was the same feeling he had when he perfected the Tree of Dao after learning the Dao Scriptures of Ten Desires.

BANG!

The blue light and the ancient aura that the Divine Battle Spirit behind Qin Nan was emitting skyrocketed all of a sudden.

The residence began to shake vigorously too. Every plant, tree, brick, and rock started glowing, trying to resist the strong aura.

Heavenly Master Shehuang, Daoist Qianjue, and Supreme Chang Xiao nodded. As they thought, Qin Nan would benefit a lot from learning the Divine God of Battle’s name.

“Senior, thank you!”

A few moments later, Qin Nan brought his fists together upon collecting his thoughts.

His heart was filled with indescribable satisfaction and joy.

The Ownerless Heaven Pattern turned restless as a tiny fragment of purple-golden crystal floated out of it before flying into the purple-golden crystal in Qin Nan’s Divine Sense.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan was stunned.

Why did something like that happen after he learned the Divine God of Battle’s name?

“Qin Nan, did you sense any difference? Or did you recall something?” Heavenly Master Shehuang asked with glittering eyes.

Before Qin Nan could respond, Empress Feiyue’s voice echoed in his mind, “The Sky Taihuang Sect has been treating you well. I’ve told them a lot about you too.”

“However, I only mentioned a little about the Sixth Immortal’s speculation, that you are some Young Master back in your era.”

“There’s too much at stake regarding the true identity of your past life. You can’t afford to leak even the slightest information about it for now. It will bring you nothing but trouble.”

Qin Nan came to a realization. He shook his head at Heavenly Master Shehuang, “Senior, I didn’t recall anything for now.”

“Mm.”

Heavenly Master Shehuang nodded, “Qin Nan, regarding the things I’ve told you about the Immortals and the Divine God of Battle, you must avoid exposing the existence of the Divine Battle Spirit before you became a Nine Heavens Supreme.”

Qin Nan frowned and said, “Senior, there’s one thing I don’t understand still. What is the secret that is tied to the Immortals and the reason why the Divine God of Battle was deemed special?”

Daoist Qianjue said with a smile, “Qin Nan, even if we tell you these things, you will struggle to understand them for now. It’s better if you slowly learn them in the First Immortal Realm.”

Doom in the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron rolled his eyes after hearing the response.

Among the things he heard, he was only clear of one thing.

Apart from the great threat Qin Nan was under for learning twelve Arts of Dao Seeking, his identity as the successor of the Immortals was going to be a huge threat too.

Judging from these old guys’ tones, he had a feeling that even if Qin Nan had become a Nine Heavens Supreme, he would still be in great danger after his identity was exposed.

“Qin Nan, that’s everything I have to say. Qianjue and Chang Xiao will tell you the rest. It’s my time to leave.”

Heavenly Master Shehuang patted Qin Nan on the shoulder and said, “Your journey from here onward is going to be a lot more difficult than most Exceptional Geniuses. I’m looking forward to the day when we meet in the First Immortal Realm.”

He slowly vanished into thin air after finishing the sentence.

“Kid, you are really something. Senior Shehuang didn’t even talk so much to me when I was appointed the patriarch of the Sky Taihuang Sect.”

Supreme Chang Xiao chuckled. He sat down and straightened his face, “Are you ready to go to the First Immortal Realm?”

Qin Nan nodded.

“The First Immortal Realm is the apex among the thirty-three Immortal Realms in the Nine Heavens. Even the rest of the top ten Immortal Realms apart from the First Immortal Realm combined is nothing compared to it. It’s a place that many cultivators have longed for.”

Supreme Chang Xiao said, “However, since you only came to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm not long ago, I bet you don’t know much about the First Immortal Realm and the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”

“Today, as half your master, I shall give you a lecture.”
