Beside the figure was a middle-aged man carrying eight ancient swords. THe man shook his head and said, “Why do you even bother? It’s reasonable for Qin Nan to take over this place with his current cultivation level.”
The figure did not respond, yet his expression obviously stated otherwise.
Qin Nan standing in front of the huge gate glanced up and down at it. He did not say a word. His right arm transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
He unleashed the immortal force in his body, emitting a powerful aura.
“Trying to break through with force? How naive!” the first figure uttered with disdain.
He was not looking down on Qin Nan, but even a few peak Peerless Rulers would struggle to deal any damage to the gate, let alone breaking through it with brute force.
“Lord of All Worlds!”
“Divine Battle Spirit!”
Two magnificent figures appeared simultaneously behind Qin Nan. An ancient aura surged throughout the bottom of the lake like a storm.
The huge gate was under tremendous pressure. The runes on it began to surface with wisps of glows.
“Sky Taihuang Dao-Jolting Saber Art!”
Qin Nan executed two Arts of Dao Seeking at the same time while imbuing the Heaven-Shattering Saber with the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames. He executed thousands of slashes within an instant and acc.u.mulated their power.
His eyes locked on the bottom left corner of the gate and directed the slashes at it.
“What is he…”
The figure and the middle-aged man carrying eight ancient swords were startled.
“He has figured out the weakest point of the formations. Once he attacked it, the formation is going to crush into pieces and trigger the rest of the traps!”
The middle-aged man immediately performed a hand seal without any hesitation.
“Open!”
The huge gate sank into the ground following a dull noise, revealing a long stair behind it.
Qin Nan withdrew his aura. He did not seem surprised, as if he already knew what was going to happen. He followed the stairs down to a palace.
“Junior Qin Nan greets two seniors.”
Qin Nan brought his fists together facing the two figures before him.
He learned the two were peak Peerless Rulers with a quick glance. They were both a step away from reaching the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, hence it was reasonable for him to refer to himself as a junior.
“Junior Brother Qin Nan, you are simply too reckless! If you did land the slash just then, you might trigger all the traps and place yourself in danger. Even we won’t be able to save your life!” the first figure grunted.
He did not expect Qin Nan to use such an approach.
“Senior, you’ve misunderstood, I was just probing, I wasn’t going to attack it,” Qin Nan shook his head and said.
“Junior Brother Qin Nan, let’s not dwell on it any further. The two of us were cultivating in seclusion, so we didn’t receive your message. Pardon us.”
The middle-aged man carrying eight ancient swords smiled, “Allow me to introduce, this is Elder Zhang Yun, and I’m Mu Danian. You may call me Uncle Nian.”
Qin Nan nodded. He looked around and saw a few other chambers in the palace, but they were all empty.
Mu Danian immediately smiled, “Quite a number of people from our sect has come to the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm, but most of them aren’t here. They will only come back here once in a while.”
He thought for a moment and said, “Junior Brother Qin Nan, did you come for the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth? There are thirty-nine of them in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm, each unique in their own way, and changes frequently too.”
“Take this map, it will help you to understand them better and decide which Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth suits you.”
He tossed a scroll into Qin Nan’s hands.
“Thanks, Uncle Nian,” Qin Nan said.
Zhang Yun harrumphed and said, “Junior Brother Qin Nan, do you know what the opportunities to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm are?”
He might be thinking of teaching Qin Nan a lesson previously, yet he never planned to harm him.
Either way, Qin Nan was his Junior Brother too.

“I have no idea, I hope Senior Brother is able to enlighten me.”
Zhang Yun nodded and said, “You should know that the best way to become a Human Immortal is to visit the Immortal Ancients and gather a lot of attention. Meanwhile, becoming a Peerless Ruler can only be done in certain places, with certain attention too.”
“However, these are no longer necessary for the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm.”
“What is the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm? The peak of immortality is supremacy, and one is no longer an immortal after surpa.s.sing supremacy.”
Qin Nan fell into deep thoughts.
“In the opposite, a person can only achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm in the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth by obtaining an opportunity. However, this opportunity is rather ambiguous.”
“It could be an artifact you’ve acquired after visiting the Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth, it might be an intense battle, a trial, or even a failure. These things could be an opportunity for you to comprehend the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm.”
Zhang Yun let out a sigh as a thought crossed his mind. He said, “However, some people couldn’t even find their opportunity after hundreds of years, while others were able to find it in just a single day, so it’s different for every person.”
For example, he had been in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm for thirty years.
However, Empress Feiyue had only spent two months in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm.
“According to Senior Empress Feiyue, if you don’t have the luck, you can reflect on yourself and visit more Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth to collect more experience. You will have a better chance at finding the opportunity by following your own will,” Zhang Yun added.
“Thank you for the advice, senior.”
Qin Nan brought his fists together. He now had a better understanding of what the opportunity to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm was.
If the advancement to the Human Immortal Realm and the Peerless Ruler Realm was a breakthrough of the immortal force, the opportunity to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm was more like an improvement to the spirit and mind.
“Qin Nan, there’s nothing we can teach you anymore. From what we have told, you will be taking charge of this place from today onward. Take this badge,” Mu Danian said.
“Uncle Nian, forget about it, now that I’ve come to the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm, I’m most likely going to spend most of my time in the Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth.”
Qin Nan rejected the badge without considering it.
He was only planning to stay here briefly since it was his first time coming to the First Immortal Realm. However, he believed he would not return here unless necessary.
Mu Danian and Zhang Yun were startled.
Being in charge of the place was like holding onto a protective charm. If he was in any danger, or he was being hunted by enemies, he could easily come back here and find shelter.
Mu Danian wanted to say something, but Qin Nan immediately waved his hand and said, “Uncle Nian, I shall learn about the Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth first. I’ll be leaving soon.
He sat on the side and closed his eyes as he directed his Divine Sense into the scroll.
Mu Danian and Zhang Yun exchanged glances with one another. The former shook his head with a wry smile, while the latter was greatly relieved.
