Chapter 1755 - The Spark
Less than half an hour later, Qin Nan and the others arrived at the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s ‘base for operations’.
The towering ancient trees ahead were less dense, revealing a s.p.a.cious valley covered in white gra.s.s. Further ahead was a purple mist lingering in the air.
The mist was unusual, it felt both realistic and illusionary, with an ancient aura. Strong blue flickers kept occurring within it with strong Dao Intents.
It was the Dao Barrier.
Every Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land would be surrounded by the Dao Barrier when they first appeared. The cultivators had to force their way through the barrier and locate the Dao Eye. They would then become the master of the Blessed Immortal Land after refining the Dao Eye.
Currently, a few dozens of Peerless Rulers were floating in the sky before the Dao Barrier. They were executing ancient Dao Arts to attack the Dao Barrier.
The tribesmen of the Primordial Tribes, the disciples of the Supreme Daoism factions, and the rogue cultivators were fighting one another for some reason, resulting in a series of explosions.
Qin Nan looked at the Blood-Eye Human Immortal. The latter realized what Qin Nan was up to. He came up with an excuse and left the place. Meanwhile, Qin Nan placed his attention on several figures in the battle.
The figures were three young men and two young ladies.
One of the young men was engulfed in purple flames with a terrifying destructive will. His cultivation had reached the eighth-layer Earth Immortal Realm and the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm. He was obviously a core disciple of a Supreme Daoism faction.
The young man’s aura was similar to the young man whom he met at the dojo of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal PaG.o.da, but the former’s was slightly stronger.
The other two young men and women were the geniuses from the Wengu Tribe, the Ancient Bodhi Temple, the Extreme Living Gate, and the Wu’e Tribe. They each possessed a cultivation of the third-layer Earth Immortal Realm, and had just probed the Dao Realm.
“Hehe, the genius of the Nongyan Tribe is called Zhu Zihuang, a core disciple ranked in the top ten of the Nongyan Tribe. He was born with the Easternmost Flame, his talents are remarkable. The rest are Gu Julin, Jiu Jie, Ke Meng, Du Yueyu…”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor explained the ident.i.ties of the geniuses while enjoying watching the battle.
They had already come up with a plan along the journey. They were going to wait until the group of people broke through the barrier and follow them.
All they had to do was wait patiently.
A moment later, the Immortal Demon Resonance gradually became louder. The magnificent purple mist that the Peerless Rulers were attacking began to tremble.
Cracks began to surface on the barrier.
The Blood-Eye Human Immortal returned and transmitted his voice, “Qin Nan, I just took a closer look around. The Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land is very huge, it’s around…”
Qin Nan lowered his head and pondered after hearing the Blood-Eye Human Immortal’s words.
He had sent the Blood-Eye Human Immortal away to confirm if the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree were located inside the Blessed Immortal Land.
From the looks of it, the two Immortal Blessing resources were most likely located inside the Blessed Immortal Land.
BANG!
A deafening blast took place. A gap over fifteen zhang long and eight zhang wide appeared on the purple barrier.
The Immortal Demon Resonance immediately disappeared. An indescribable immortal intent burst out of the gap like a strong tide.
“Fellow cultivators, isn’t it time to stop fighting?”
A Peerless Ruler of the Ancient Bodhi Temple who was a monk in a gray outfit placed his hands together and said, “Since we can now enter, we’ll proceed with the deal. The rest will head inside first, and we’ll go last after we’ve sealed up the entrance.”
The other Peerless Geniuses nodded in agreement. They proceeded to transmit their thoughts. Following it, the geniuses including Zhu Zihuang, Gu Julin, Jiu Jie, Ke Meng, Du Yueyu, and the others led the cultivators of their factions and flew into the gap.
“c.r.a.p, these old p.r.i.c.ks are being so cautious. They even thought of that!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor’s expression immediately darkened.
“Humph, they must have known that I’m here if they are being so cautious. However, how dare they not invite me inside instead…” Xiu Shenliang snapped disdainfully.
“What do you mean by this? You’re stopping us from entering even though it’s an Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land?”
Dozens of cultivators suddenly appeared from a hole in the distance. The Heaven Immortal leading the group yelled furiously.
In addition to them, more cultivators showed up from the clouds, rifts, boulders, and other places.
Even Qin Nan was dumbfounded by the sight.
They were busy observing the geniuses, thus they did not realize so many people were hiding in the surroundings. Some of them were even Peerless Geniuses, and experts who were one step away from becoming a Peerless Genius.
“If you aren’t pleased with it, let’s fight,” the Peerless Ruler of the Extreme Living Gate said coldly.
“You…”
The cultivators were startled.
Even so, none of them dared to move. They were all trying to come up with another plan.
They were initially planning to be the oriole while the mantis was stalking the cicada, thus it was meaningless for them to say a word further.
“They are closing the barrier!” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor stared at Qin Nan and said.
Xiu Shenliang wanted to say something, but the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor gave him a kick to stop him from uttering nonsense.
“Let’s force our way through!”
Qin Nan immediately made up his mind. His gaze sharpened. Judging from the situation, it was their only choice to enter the Unclaimed Blessed Immortal Land.
Even if they failed to locate the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower and the Immortal Repelling Tree inside, they could just retreat and search for them somewhere else.
“Sky-Stride Blow!”
Qin Nan transmitted his thoughts to the others. He unleashed his aura and immortal force. He suddenly showed up in front of the Peerless Rulers.
He slashed forward with the saber he was holding.
A saber intent in the shape of a crescent surged forward.
“Someone…is making a move?”
The cultivators in the valley were dumbfounded.
Even the Peerless Rulers that were closing the barrier froze.
The person was only an Earth Immortal?
However, little did anyone know, even Qin Nan was unaware that since he arrived in the Eastern Realm, the White-Blue Flower had been influencing the ancient ruins. They were gradually undergoing unexpected changes.
It was like the spark that had triggered an unstoppable fire.
