Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1959

Qin Nan was fully immersed in the scroll upon taking a glance into it.

“The seventy-second Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth is located in the Supreme-Transforming Right Realm, formed with the power of the five elements. It contains many successions, Dao Arts, Immortal Arts, artifacts, and resources related to the five elements. Only those that practice the Dao of the five elements has a chance to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm here.”

“The forty-sixth Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth is located in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm. It contains seventy-two floors, each with an abundant will of strong cultivators. Anyone who enters it will be flanked by the will. If they overcome the will, they will be able to advance to the next floor.”

“Every cultivator can only enter the Sacred Area once. The higher the floor they managed to reach in the end, the greater the rewards will be. Until now, only thirty-seven people have successfully reached the seventy-second floor, and among them, sixteen people have obtained the opportunity to become a Nine Heavens Supreme.”

“The twenty-fourth Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth is located in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm. When a cultivator enters it, their flesh and their will will be weakened as they are sent to somewhere emote, most likely the Secondary Lower Realm to overcome a trial.”

“The fifteenth Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth is located in the Supreme-Transforming Right Realm. Those who enter it will only be left with the cultivation of the Human Immortal Realm. They will have to start over from it, but there are many successions and fortunate encounters available to help improve their cultivation quickly. Those who are willing to take the risk will be rewarded greatly.”

“The first Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth is located in the Supreme-Transforming Left Realm, also known as the Death Zone! Anything could happen in the Death Zone. Those who failed to obtain the chance to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm will never be able to leave the place.”

“However, the number of people who managed to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm in the Death Zone is ten times more than any other Sacred Areas. The current strongest Nine Heavens Supreme, Empress Feiyue is one of them too. That being said, you must be cautious with your decision!”

Each Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth was like a separated world, similar to the forbidden places which Qin Nan had visited in the past.

However, the biggest difference between them and the forbidden places was these Sacred Areas did not necessarily guarantee an opportunity to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm, hence one would feel doubtful regarding which Sacred Areas they should choose.

Apart from the description of the Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth, a few lines had caught Qin Nan’s attention too.

“Six thousand years ago, Sword Master Canhong mentioned that the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth were closely related to one another. On top of that, their purpose was not to help people achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm in the first place.”

“Two thousand years ago, Supreme Dustlight mentioned that there were only thirty-six Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth instead of the seventy-two, but after a mysterious battle, its number grew to seventy-two. The reason behind it was tied to a great secret.”

“A thousand years ago, Supreme Liumeng claimed that following the opportunity to become a Nine Heavens Supreme, there will be either a great fortune or a great disaster. Other Peerless Rulers have proven it to be true too.”

“Besides, based on the information collected over countless years, if those who obtained the opportunity to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm successfully became a Nine Heavens Supreme in the respective Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth, the place would further reward them with great benefits.”

It was obvious that many experts were quite interested in the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth. They had managed to find out a great deal about them.

If he was to take both the discovery of Sword Master Canhong and Supreme Dustlight into account, even if the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth were not hiding a great secret, it must be hiding something that had yet to be found still.

How terrifying would the thing that the seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth which were capable of helping cultivators to achieve the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm were hiding be?

Having this thought, Qin Nan took a deep breath and finally calmed his thoughts after some time. He opened his eyes.

“Qin Nan, don’t you find these seventy-two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth intriguing?”

Mu Danian said gently, “However, as your Senior Brother, I must warn you that you shouldn’t set your foot into the Death Zone if you have unfinished business.”

Zhang Yun nodded in agreement, “Many Exceptional Geniuses that went to the Death Zone in the past did not return in the end. No one knows if they had died, or they were stuck in there until their death.”

Things like life badges remained even when the cultivators they were linked to died in the Death Zone. Zhang Yun and Mu Danian had seen a few Nine Heavens Supremes standing still before the Death Zone for days before leaving in grief.

“Don’t worry, seniors, I won’t be going to the Death Zone for now.”

Qin Nan shook his head, “I’m more interested in the forty-sixth and twenty-fourth Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth, but I haven’t decided which I should go first.”

As a matter of fact, the fifteenth Sacred Area of the Heavens and Earth was not a bad option either. If he had to start over from the Human Immortal Realm, he might be able to reforge the Tree of Dao so it would have more than twelve Arts of Dao Seeking.

However, the chance of it happening was very slim.

Mu Danian and Zhang Yun were not surprised by his decision. The former said, “There’s no rush, you can stay here for the time being…”

Qin Nan immediately replied, “Senior, that won’t be necessary. A few formidable factions are searching for me. I’m afraid it’s not safe for me to stay here any longer. I shall excuse myself.”

Mu Danian and Zhang Yun exchanged glances with one another. They were well aware of Qin Nan’s identity, thus they did not have any right to comment on it.

Qin Nan chatted briefly with the two Senior Brothers before bringing his fists together and excused himself.

“Ugh, this Qin Nan isn’t a bad guy after all. He’s very polite, and he isn’t full of himself,” Zhang Yun picked up his cup of tea and said.

“HAHA, I thought someone was going to teach him a lesson just then?” Mu Danian burst out laughing.

“(Cough cough), it’s all in the past now, let’s not talk about it.”

Mu Danian chatted with Zhang Yun for a while. After Zhang Yun left, he took out a delicate jade pendant and stared at it in deep thoughts.

A moment later, his eyes flickered coldly as he made up his mind.

“Cultivator Xiang, I have learned something that you might be interested in. Qin Nan is planning to visit the forty-sixth or twenty-fourth Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth. He hasn’t decided which one to go first. Remember what you’ve promised to me!”

“Cultivator An, I have just obtained some information. You may relate it to the Ancient Taboo…”

“Cultivator Wang, I’ve found the information that the Mumen Sect is looking for…”

Mu Danian transmitted his thoughts with several badges. Following it, he pinched the jade pendant into pieces with a cold expression.

The journey of cultivation was like navigating a boat against the current!

He was not as fortunate as Qin Nan, hence he could only scheme to maximize his own profits.

As for his feelings for the sect?

His relationship with his senior and junior brothers?

They weren’t really that important to him.

Besides, they all thought he had sworn the Immortal Demon Oath in the past. No one would know he was responsible for leaking Qin Nan’s whereabouts.
