Peerless Battle Spirit

Qin Nan was startled

He did not expect the Ownerless Heaven Pattern to have a Pattern Spirit!

“Pattern Spirit, can you tell me who exactly is my past life?”

Qin Nan asked after collecting his thoughts.

However, the Pattern Spirit did not answer his question directly. He said, “My master, now that you’ve entered a Sacred Area, there is something I must tell you in advance.”

“In the past, you have done everything you could to secure one thing, but times have changed since then. It’s your best chance to secure it now!”

“You must head to the seventh Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth. There’s a drop of your blood deep inside that place! You will use that drop of blood to enter the first Sacred Area of the Heaven and Earth so you will have a chance to secure the item!”

“You must take it no matter the price you have to pay. Even if I have to nullify dangers, or if it means I have to disappear because of it!”

“Master, you must promise me that you shouldn’t tell anyone about that thing regardless of how much you trust them, including that woman. Otherwise, it’s only going to place us in a great disaster…”

The Pattern Spirit’s voice softened gradually. In the end, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern stopped glowing and absorbing the chaotic aura around the place.

“Pattern Spirit?”

Qin Nan tried to transmit his thought, but the Ownerless Heaven Pattern did not respond even after a moment.

It seemed like the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was damaged in the past, causing the Pattern Spirit to fall into a deep slumber.

It had only regained its consciousness after absorbing the chaotic aura in the stone palace.

However, the aura was only enough to let it wake up briefly. It was unable to repair its damage to awaken it fully.

Qin Nan took a deep breath. He still had a lot of questions, yet it seemed like he would not find the answers to them here.

It was very likely that he would only know the truth after becoming a Nine Heavens Supreme and awakening the memory of his past life inside the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.

“Qin Nan, did something happen?” Empress Feiyue’s voice returned.

“The Ownerless Heaven Pattern…”

Qin Nan explained briefly, “The pattern spirit told me I will be able to acquire a fragment of the memories of my past life upon reaching the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm. On top of it, it also asked me to head to the seventh Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth to find a drop of my blood there.”

“It asked me to head to the first Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth after acquiring the drop of blood.”

The pattern spirit had warned him seriously about the great disaster the truth might bring to the copper mirror, thus Qin Nan did not tell her about the thing he was supposed to look for.

Qin Nan already had a slight speculation in his heart.

From the looks of everything so far, his past life must be a terrifying existence who was beyond his imagination.

Therefore, the thing which his past life had tried everything to get his hands on must be absolutely terrifying too.

Sword Master Canhong did mention that the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth were closely tied to one another, and their purpose was not to help people achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm in the first place.

Another cultivator with the name Supreme Dustlight also claimed that there were only thirty-six Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth at first, but they suddenly turned into seventy-two after an epic battle. It had happened to cover up a shocking secret.

Therefore, the thing which the Pattern Spirit mentioned must be related to that secret.

“I see.”

Empress Feiyue’s tone remained expressionless. She said, “Qin Nan, since your journey to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm is tied to your past life, you will never know what’s going to happen when the time comes.”

Qin Nan nodded. He knew what the copper mirror was trying to say.

When he became a Martial Monarch, Jiang Bilan had turned into the Death Crystal for his sake. Later, when he achieved the Martial God Realm, Princess Miao Miao had dissipated between the Heavens and Earth too.

According to the Beast Hide Drawing, when an existence was defying the law, the stronger they became, the greater the calamities they would have to face.

Even though he did not necessarily encounter anything when he achieved the Peerless Ruler Realm, it might not be the same case when he became a Nine Heavens Supreme.

“What are you planning to do next? Are you going to the seventh Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth?” Empress Feiyue asked.

“Not now.”

Qin Nan thought for a moment and said, “I would like to pay the Canglan Continent a visit before it.”

A great storm was obviously approaching. No one could predict its outcome.

It was time for him to go back to visit his father and his friends before putting his all into the upcoming challenges.

Qin Nan could not see a hint of admiration in Empress Feiyue’s icy blue eyes. She said coldly, “If that’s the case, why don’t you take a look around the stone palace? You might find a way to return to the Canglan Continent.”

She was quite interested in the stone palace.

After all, many people had entered the twenty-fourth Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth, yet they were all frozen in the pillar.

They were completely unaware of the surroundings.

“That’s true.”

Qin Nan’s eyes glittered. He took a few deep breaths to calm his thoughts before venturing deeper into the palace.

The chaotic aura in the stone palace was still very strong. Qin Nan tried to absorb it, yet he was unable to do so.

In addition to it, the aura seemed to be greatly suppressing his eye-technique and his flesh. He felt like a huge rock was pressing down on him even when he tried to resist it with his immortal force. He could only walk slowly.

It took Qin Nan half an hour just to reach the stairs to the second floor. He was finally able to see everything on the first floor too.

The place was completely empty.

Qin Nan frowned and began walking up the stairs. When there were only a few steps left, he felt like he had just gone through an invisible door, bringing him to a different place.

The pressure he felt had dissipated.

The chaotic aura no longer existed too.

The silence was replaced with voices.

“Damn it, you were cheating! I won’t admit it, let’s do it again. I don’t believe it!”

“HAHAHA, six swords, I managed to get six swords from it!”

“You scum! Were you cheating!?”

“(Sigh), say, can we stop betting and see how those guys are doing? At this rate, we’ll never be able to reincarnate!”

Qin Nan was astounded.

There were people here?

It sounded like there was quite a number of them too, and they seemed to be betting!

Qin Nan took the last few steps and arrived at the second floor. He immediately saw an unbelievable sight.

The spacious hall was placed with many statues. A variety of damaged weapons were scattered across the place too.

There were thirteen tables in the hall, seated with the expressionless spirit envoys that Qin Nan had encountered before. However, they were all enjoying themselves while crunching roasted legs of beasts, drinking immortal wines, and shaking dices.
