Chapter 1641 - Endless Pestering
Half the time it took for an incense stick to burn, on some ocean...
A giant gap suddenly tore open in the air, as Qin Nan and a bunch of rocks that was initially the altar fell out from it.
"Am I still in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm?"
Qin Nan glanced around him and let out a relieved sigh.
It would be bad if he was teleported to some other Small Immortal Realm.
"Mm?"
His eyes glittered when he looked at the ocean.
He realized that the rocks did not sink into the water, but were floating on the surface.
The rocks seemed to be scattered on the surface, but they actually resembled two words when he took a closer look.
Watch out!
"What's going on here?"
Qin Nan frowned.
Was someone trying to warn him, or was it just a coincidence?
If it was someone warning him, who would the person be?
Qin Nan began to have a bad feeling about it.
It did not make sense for the teleportation portals to show up when a land of danger had been awakened. Even if there was a teleportation portal allowing the people to escape, it would not be discovered so easily.
Whoosh!
A wave rolled and knocked the rocks into the distance, allowing Qin Nan to withdraw his thoughts.
He was more leaning toward his speculation that someone was trying to warn him.
However, he had no clue who the person would be. He could only wait until he had a chance to solve the mystery.
"Let's check the current situation out."
Qin Nan took out the Ten Thousand Dao Immortal Badge and dived into it with his Divine Sense.
Apart from the four Immortal Ancient places that opened up first, another three Immortal Ancient places were now accessible too, and almost three hundred people had ascended successfully.
That being said, among these three hundred people, only a Peerless Genius was among them. The others were all peak Heaven Gods.
In addition to it, there was some news about the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect.
Most of them were how some cultivators had earned a fortune in a single night by placing the right bets, while some human immortals had lost all their possessions within an hour.
If someone was unaware of what was happening, they would simply assume that a great bet was taking place across the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.
"I don't have much time left."
Qin Nan felt a sense of urgency.
He was no longer able to make it to the other Immortal Ancient places that were already accessible, as many cultivators had spent quite some time exploring them. It was unlikely he could find any great succession if he went now.
There were only eight Immortal Ancient places left.
If he was to choose one among them, how many Immortal Ancient places would still be available when he came out?
"Copper mirror, which Immortal Place is about to show up?"
Qin Nan immediately transmitted his voice.
"Go to the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm, it's going to open in three days. Remember, unless you are confident that you can ascend as an immortal in the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm, you only have ten days."
The icy voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind, "Ten days later, you'll have to leave the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm and head for your next destination."
She paused for a while before adding, "I've asked someone to prepare the things you'll need for the Battle of the Strongest Immortal."
The Battle of the Strongest Immortal, apart from the requirement of ascending as an immortal, the participants must also acquire some rare artifacts from the Immortal Ancient places.
Normally, she would not really care about it.
However, she was interested to see if Qin Nan could shine brilliantly just as she did in the past.
"Thanks."
Qin Nan brought his fists together.
Without the copper mirror's help, he would have to waste some time looking for the artifacts.
Meanwhile, Qin Nan raised his head and glanced deep into the sky as he sensed something. With his powerful eye-technique, he saw four streams of teleporting energy approaching him.
"It's Gu Zhenyi and the others? They still haven't given up yet?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered coldly, "I didn't have much time to spend on them. I'll surely fight them once I ascended as an immortal!"
He quickly vanished into thin air with a flicker.
After around thirty breaths later, four gaps tore open above the ocean, as Gu Zhenyi, Long Chan, and the others came out from them.
Unlike Qin Nan, the rocks of the altar sank as soon as they fell to the ocean.
"Fellow cultivators, it hasn't been long before Qin Nan left this place."
Long Chan was emitting a Bodhi glow, as he was holding some scriptures that had appeared out of nowhere and said, "I can hunt him down. Are we still trying to chase after him?"
The two mysterious cultivators said coldly, "How can we possibly give up now?"
"We can't just chase after him like this."
Gu Zhenyi shook his head. His eyes flickered as the other three looked at him, "Qin Nan's cultivation is too powerful for us. It will cost the four of us a significant amount of god force and capabilities just to detain.
"Why don't we ask the experts of our factions for help and set up a trap for him?"
Normally, whenever these core disciples of some Supreme Daoism factions were taking part in an Immortal Ascension War in some other Small Immortal Realms, the faction would send experts to protect them.
It was to prevent the experts of the other factions from ambushing the person after they had left the Immortal Ancient places.
A lot of similar incidents had occurred during the Immortal Ascension War in the past, and even those that had already ascended as an immortal would carry out the attack in the dark too.
"Sounds good."
Long Chan and the others exchanged their glances, they nodded and proceeded to transmit their messages.
Time gradually passed, two hours were gone fairly quickly.
Qin Nan initially planned to refine the trunk when there was no one around, but he kept having a bad feeling along the way even though he did not see anyone.
The reason being that there were people tailing him!
And it was very likely to be Gu Zhenyi, Long Chan, and the others.
"These guys never know when to give up."
Qin Nan glanced at the glow emitted by three badges in his Sumeru Ring and shook his head.
Since they were pursuing him relentlessly and were pestering him, it was unnecessary for him to go easy on them.
"Eternal Heaven Earth Claw!"
A thunderous roar exploded in the distance.
A giant, pitch-black hand with a circumference of over fifty zhang traversed across the sky and grabbed at Qin Nan.
At that instant, the rift surrounding Qin Nan began to twist and form an invisible cage, impairing his movement.
"An immortal?"
Qin Nan squinted.
The person was not just a Human Immortal, it was an Earth Immortal.
It seemed like Gu Zhenyi, Long Chan, and the others had summoned the experts of their factions.
"Qin Nan, you have one last chance! You have ten breaths to hand over the trunk, or we are going to kill you right here!"
Gu Zhenyi, Long Chan, and the others appeared from the rift.
On top of it, rays of magnificent immortal glow were soaring into the sky in the distance.
After being chased around for two hours, Qin Nan was already trapped, with no escape available!
