Chapter 1992

When Qin Nan landed on the Blood Altar, the whole island remained silent.

Even though some among the crowd knew what Qin Nan was trying to achieve, the strength he displayed was simply too terrifying. It almost surpassed their understanding of how powerful a Peerless Ruler could be.

Qin Nan came to a stop. He glanced at Wan Li and the others who were still in the pits and said calmly, “From now on, I don’t want anyone to pick on me. Otherwise, you will have to bear the consequences yourself.”

A faint icy intent rose within the hearts of many. They immediately gave up on the thoughts they had previously.

The benefits of slaying the successor of the Fifth Immortal were unimaginable…

However, they could not afford to offend him either!

Qin Nan withdrew his gaze. He ignored the crowd and glanced at the Supreme Blood Altar.

Among the people sitting on it with their legs crossed, most people were peak Peerless Rulers, and some had extraordinary energy rippling inside their bodies. They were no ordinary people even if they were not Exceptional Geniuses.

They were wearing calm expressions as they were fully focused on the process. They were unaware of Qin Nan’s arrival.

Qin Nan tried to inspect his surroundings with the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle, yet the energy inside the Supreme Blood Altar was just too shocking. He was unable to peek through it.

“If the drop of blood left by my past life is indeed inside the altar, there should be some reaction now that I’m on the altar. The Ownerless Heaven Pattern should react in some way too…”

Qin Nan slightly frowned.

Did it imply that the drop of blood was not here?

“Forget it, I should confirm it now that I’m already here,” Qin Nan murmured.

He summoned the White-Blue Flower from his Divine Sense and placed it on the Supreme Blood Altar.

Having the White-Blue Flower would guarantee his safety while he was focusing on comprehending the energy of the Supreme Blood Altar. In addition to it, if there was something like successions or secrets sealed inside the Supreme Blood Altar, the White-Blue Flower would awaken them in advance.

Qin Nan took a deep breath before sitting on the ground with his eyes closed.

A mystical energy surged through his body and entered his mind. He felt a strange sense of emptiness in his mind.

The emptiness was different from the sense when one’s thoughts went blank. It was as if Qin Nan could feel the void around him.

He seemed to have entered his own body as an outsider. He was able to see his strength, his heart, and his soul.

His thoughts remained clear throughout the process. He was merely observing himself.

“Divine Battle Spirit, wages war against the Heavens and Earth, there’s none He does not fight, and none He does not win against!”

“Why must there only be a Martial Progenitor Tree? Why can’t I have three, eight, or even nine of them!”

“South-Heaven Gate, I’m not done with you!”

“How can I ascend as an immortal?”

“If the Ownerless Heaven Pattern has such a power, wouldn’t that mean I’ll be able to learn different Arts of Dao Seeking if I trap the geniuses of other Supreme Daoism factions in it?”

“Who exactly is my past life?”

“I will never doubt the Divine God of Battle!”

The scenes Qin Nan had been through and the thoughts he once had blossomed continuously.

He was watching them all as an outsider.

There were two different kinds of still. The first was to forget everything and clear one’s mind. The second was to completely get rid of one’s consciousness and desires.

There were no Exceptional Geniuses, Nine Heavens Supremes, or Masters of Dao who could achieve the second kind of still while cultivating in seclusion on their own.

However, the energy of the Supreme Blood Altar was able to help cultivators achieve it.

Time gradually passed.

Cultivators with powerful auras were rushing into the entrance of the seventh Sacred Area.

Over a hundred cultivators were competing fiercely on the island.

Qin Nan’s intimidation was very effective. No one dared to disturb him throughout the process.

Wisps of the Nine-Colored Dao Glow flowed out of the Tree of Dao and circulated in his veins.

Thirteen Arts of Dao Seeking and the ultimate of the Immortal Arts and Dao Arts which he mastered popped up and transformed continuously like a scenery.

There was once an ancient saying, “In the first level, one will see mountains as mountains, and water as water. In the second level, one will no longer see just mountains from mountains, and water from water. In the third level, one will still see mountains from mountains, and water from water.”

The saying basically meant a beginner was unable to see the deeper levels of the things they were looking at. An experienced person might have a better comprehension of things, while an expert would return to their true self.

The third level was not something that was achievable with thoughts alone. It required constant accumulation of experiences until it was enough to trigger a breakthrough.

For example, there was the popular Buddhist saying, “lay down the butcher’s knife and become a Buddha on the spot”.

Could a detestable demon really turn into a Buddha after placing their weapons down?

Of course not, what mattered more was their willingness to put aside their desires and their view of the world. Only when their view collapsed would they be able to turn into a Buddha.

Qin Nan was experiencing something similar too.

Everything he had been through seemed to be turning into nothing.

Five hours later, Qin Nan’s eyes opened slowly. His pupils regained their focus.

Buzz!

A saber intent burst out of his body and sprang into the sky. Its white brilliance shone upon the island.

“Qin Nan’s aura is completely different from before!”

“It has only been ten hours. Did he already have a breakthrough?”

The cultivators were astounded.

“This Supreme Blood Altar is indeed fascinating!”

Qin Nan smiled as he sensed the changes in his body.

“Did it still not show any reaction under the influence of the Flower of Eternity?”

Qin Nan glanced at the altar and shook his head. He was going to sit with his legs crossed again.

He had a feeling that the longer he spent on the Supreme Blood Altar, he might have a groundbreaking breakthrough with the thirteen Arts of Dao Seeking he had practiced.

He might even reach the peak Peerless Ruler Realm.

However, the Supreme Blood Altar suddenly shuddered.

Qin Nan clearly felt it even though it was only a slight movement.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan raised his brows. He fixed his eyes on the altar.

The vibration grew stronger. Many cultivators nearby could sense it too. Qin Nan soon noticed a formidable force rising inside the Supreme Blood Altar.

BANG!

The Supreme Blood Altar emitted a terrifying glow, lighting up everything in the surroundings.

Following it, the Supreme Blood Altar expanded rapidly. It finally stopped upon reaching a length of fifty thousand zhang. A strong blood glow burst out from its center and soared into the sky, forming sixteen illusionary thrones.
