Chapter 1778 - Competing for the Demon Blood
“Is she really a Dao Spirit?”
Yuanji and Xiu Shenliang were shocked.
“How extraordinary is this place? It has even nurtured a Dao Spirit.”
Doom smacked his lips.
“The Dao Spirit of a Blessed Immortal Land? Is it really that rare?”
Qin Nan frowned slightly. He did not think the Dao Spirit was anything impressive.
“Seriously? Not only is it rare…”
Doom rolled his eyes and snapped, “What the h.e.l.l is wrong with you? Why do you not know anything? Let me tell you, there’s only a few Blessed Immortal Lands with a Dao Spirit in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”
“You must know that even Blessed Immortal Lands would be depleted eventually, but if a Blessed Immortal Land has a Dao Spirit, it will allow the Blessed Immortal Land to cultivate on its own and absorb the Qi of Heavens and Earth. Not only would its resources replenish, it might even become better.”
“Currently, among the Supreme Daoism factions and the Hundred Primordial Tribes, most of them only have one or at most two Blessed Immortal Lands with a Dao Spirit. Some don’t even have a single one.”
Qin Nan finally came to a realization after listening to the explanation. His gaze toward Ling Ling Lanlan s.h.i.+fted.
He had always wanted to claim a Blessed Immortal Land where he could cultivate in seclusion as he pleased.
If he could convince Ling Lanlan to acknowledge him as her master, wouldn’t that mean the Blessed Immortal Land would be his?
“What…what are you looking at?”
Ling Lanlan s.h.i.+vered after noticing Qin Nan’s gaze. She said sternly, “I’m warning you, I a not interested in men at all. I will never become your partner, so you better give up on the thought!”
Qin Nan’s lips twisted after hearing the words.
Where did the little girl even get her confidence from?
“Ling Lanlan, right? Do you know the secret of this place?”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor collected his thoughts. He asked with glittering eyes.
Qin Nan and the others fixed their eyes on Ling Lanlan too.
The girl was the Dao Spirit of this Blessed Immortal Land where the mysterious demon blood, the Eight-Tinkling Ancient Temple, the ancient ruins outside, and the Glaze Ancient Palace were located.
Therefore, the little girl must know something.
“Of course, how could I not know its secrets?”
Ling Lanlan twisted her lips.
“Can you tell us the secrets? Don’t you worry, we will pay you back accordingly!” the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out.
“Please, everyone is already an adult here. Can you not ask something so naive? Of course I won’t tell you the secrets!”
Ling Lanlan wore a disdainful look. She giggled after a while when a thought crossed her mind, revealing her two eye teeth, “But, I don’t mind joining hands with you.”
Qin Nan and his crew were startled, “How?”
Ling Lanlan placed her hands behind her and walked around in the pond while speaking, “I know you are interested in the precious loots around here, and I can tell you…”
“You will die if you try to claim the loots by force, but you can try communicating with them. Perhaps some of these artifacts might choose to follow you if you’re lucky enough.”
Qin Nan and his crew exchanged glances with one another while communicating with their Divine Sense.
They all believed the little girl was not lying to them.
“Is there no other way to claim them if they don’t seem to be interested in us?”
It was Doom speaking this time.
“Of course, but as for what it is…”
Ling Lanlan stopped and said, “I’ll only tell you if you can claim the drop of demon blood.”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out with excitement, “We can take the demon blood too?”
Ling Lanlan snapped disdainfully, “Are you dumb? I already said that you can try communicating with anything in this place, including the drop of demon blood.”
She added after finis.h.i.+ng the sentence, “After you’ve claimed the demon blood, you must get rid of the forbidding formation on this pond and free me. Otherwise, I won’t tell you what you want to know.”
She blatantly told them the reason why she was interested in joining hands with them.
“HAHA, I will free you after I’ve claimed the demon blood!”
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor burst out laughing. His eyes were filled with excitement.
His chance had come!
He was the only person pursuing the path of demon cultivation in the group. Besides, he had achieved remarkable results too. He was only a step away from becoming a Nine Heavens Supreme.
“Qin Nan, you guys can go ahead and communicate with the other loots. I’ll try communicating with the demon blood. How’s that?”
However, he did not rush it. He glanced at Qin Nan and the others first.
“Mm, go ahead, if it’s truly as the little girl has mentioned, and judging from the terrains here, the drop of demon blood is most likely the ruler inside this temple.”
“Once we claimed the demon blood, even if we failed to communicate with the other loots, we should be able to claim them with force still.”
Doom said with a hint of concern, “Feel free to let me know if you need any help.”
Yuanji coughed and said, “Cultivator Eight Brilliance, I have high hopes in you!”
Xiu Shenliang said blatantly with a fawning look, “Eight Brilliance, you do have a hundredth of my capabilities. You won’t have any trouble claiming the demon blood!”
Even though he was trying to fawn over the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, it came out wrong as soon as he started speaking.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor was clearly in a good mood. He did not seem to be bothered at all. He glanced at Qin Nan and patted him on the shoulder, “Qin Nan, don’t you worry, I won’t mistreat you once I succeeded.”
He was feeling extremely pleasant.
He had teamed up with Qin Nan three times, but he was set up by Qin Nan in the first two times. It was finally his turn this time!
“Off you go.”
Qin Nan said with a calm smile. He was not bothered at all.
Although the drop of demon blood seemed extremely powerful and alluring, when trying to acquire a precious loot, apart from the method that one was using, fate also played an important factor.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor did not waste any time further. He went to the altar and sat down with his legs crossed. He calmed his thoughts and wore a calm expression.
Wisps of demon intent burst out from his body and gradually encapsulated the altar.
Yuanji uttered a chant and sat on the ground too. He began to emit wisps of Bodhi intent across the temple.
Xiu Shenliang and Blood-Eye exchanged glances too before taking a look around.
They clearly did not have much chance claiming the precious loots, but there were other weapons that once belonged to Nine Heavens Supremes too. They were thinking of having a go at communicating with one or two of the weapons.
“Qin Nan, place the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron close to the statues of the Primordial People…” Doom said.
Qin Nan was about to make his move when he realized something. He turned around and looked at the entrance of the temple.
Several figures rapidly flew into the temple through the entrance.
