A day laterâ¦
The whole Nine Heavens Immortal Realm turned lively.
Many cultivators had their eyes on the Thirty-Second Small Immortal Realm.
Even though most of them were only Earth Immortals and Heaven Immortals who were not qualified to participate, they were still treating it as something important.
The authorities of many formidable factions were planning an expedition to the mysterious Blue Heavens. The final outcome had a great possibility to alter the situation of the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!
The expedition was groundbreaking. It might affect their future too.
However, another news suddenly spread among the cultivators and startled every Master of Dao in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. It soon caught the attention of the formidable factionsâ authorities too!
âThe Battle of the Masters will be initiated tomorrow?â
âWasnât the Supreme Haotian Badge destroyed when Empress Feiyue achieved the Ruler Realm?â
âThe news is from the Hundred Year Alliance. Iâm pretty sure itâs true! It seems like someone has repaired the Supreme Haotian Badge!â
âI believe Qin Nan is behind it. Heâs only a step away from achieving the Ruler Realm. If he waits for the Hundred Years Oath, he would have to wait for another sixty years. He couldnât afford to wait for that long!â
âMm, you are right. it must be him. He can avoid the Rulers of Dao by initiating the Battle of the Masters now to guarantee his safety.â
âLetâs not worry about it. Let him be if he wants to achieve the Ruler Realm. Our current priority is to achieve the Heaven Highness Realm!â
The authorities of various factions immediately figured out the âtruthâ behind the Battle of the Masters.
No one thought Cang was involved too, except for the Li Clan.
After all, when Cang went to the Seventy-Two Sacred Areas of the Heavens and Earth to become a Nine Heavens Supreme, he had chosen the First Sacred Area which was known as the Death Zone. He also did not spend a long time to achieve the Master Realm in the Dao Seeking Land, thus there was no word about his progress.
The Li Clan only knew because Li Yangfan was the successor of the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree.
As for the Masters of Dao, some were overjoyed, some were sorrowful, while others burst out cursing. Either way, they had to wait until they were done with their seclusion and other businesses before heading to the Battlefield of Aeon.
Time gradually passed. A day later, the new month had arrived.
âFrom today onward, our tribe will be sealed off!â
âThe elders will be making the decisions for every kind of matter in the clan!â
A few orders were swiftly passed around to the disciples.
The forbidding formations of the formidable factions were activated.
âJunior Brothers, letâs go!â
The Rulers of Dao of the seven Heaven Highness Clans, the Supreme Daoism factions, the Hundred Ancient Tribes, and other ancient factions unleashed formidable auras and tore through the rift.
The gate of the Children of Peaceâs Sacred Palace in the Thirty-Two Small Immortal Realm that had remained closed for a long time unleashed a tremendous glow and strong immortal intent as if it had its own consciousness.
Meanwhile, the Undying Cycle Mountainâ¦
âQin Nan, friends, weâll be going now.â
Progenitor Mingchu, Progenitor Linghuang, Progenitor Shuangdao, Ruler Qingyu, and Empress Feiyue stood at the front and faced the crowd.
âI wish all of you the best of luck in achieving the Heaven Highness Realm!â
Qin Nan and the rest of the crowd brought their fists together.
Ever since the alliance was formed, the three Supreme Daoism factions had gathered all their disciples in the Undying Cycle Mountain. Despite the grim circumstances and dangerous situation they were under, the bonds between them could not be any stronger.
âHAHA, if we can achieve the Heaven Highness Realm, weâll set up our own place for you all too! Give us one month!â
Progenitor Mingchu and the others burst out laughing. They left under the deafening cheers of the disciples.
âNow, itâs our time to head to the Battlefield of Aeon too!â
Qin Nan turned around and told his group.
In addition to him, Princess Miao Miao, and Jiang Bilan, Li Ji, Mo Xiaoli, Supreme Chang Xiao, and the others, a total of twenty-one Masters of Dao were going with them too.
Supreme Chang Xiao and the others were only in the early stage of the Greater Success Stage of the Master Realm. They had no chance of achieving the Ruler Realm, but they had to go and make up the numbers due to the oaths they had sworn.
âXu Ruochen, Elder Long, you two are only in the early stage of the Master Realm and havenât sworn the oaths, so you will stay in the Undying Cycle Mountain and handle everything,â Qin Nan said.
Normally, the Hundred Year Alliance would send representatives to people who had achieved the Master Realm regardless of their background and force them to swear the oaths.
However, how could they possibly dare to pick on the subordinates of someone who was the reincarnation of two Supreme Highnesses and Cang himself?
âQin Nan, Iâll take care of everything, donât you worry!â Elder Long said with a smile.
âMm! Letâs go.â
Qin Nan waved his hand and wrapped his Master Force around the group.
A few hours later, the Center Battlefield of the Battlefield of Aeonâ¦
Ever since the Hundred Year Alliance spread the words about the Battle of the Masters, the place would occasionally have Masters of Dao arriving in the form of brilliant light rays.
The Battle of the Masters was initiated suddenly. The Masters of Dao only had a limited time to prepare themselves, hence they went straight to the Center Battlefield and stayed there instead of exploring the other areas.
They still had no idea where the Supreme Haotian Badge was going to appear. They could only wait patiently.
Two figures, in particular, were startled after witnessing the scene before them.
If Qin Nan was around, he would recognize them to be Cheng Mu and Yi Shi, the first two cultivators whom he stumbled into after he crossed the Westernmost Land.
There was a little conflict between them too.
âWho would have thought, itâs only been a little over a year after what happened last time. The Supreme Highnesses have all shown up, and Qin Nan has also achieved the peak Master Realm and is preparing to achieve the Ruler Realm,â Cheng Mu exclaimed.
As a matter of fact, he was having great luck recently too. He had claimed a number of fortunate encounters and improved his cultivation to the peak Master Realm, allowing him to probe the Ruler Realm.
However, it was nothing compared to Qin Nanâs progress.
âEveryoneâs life is different. In Qin Nanâs case, with great power comes great responsibility and sufferings,â Yi Shi said.
âPutting that aside, Iâm just wondering if he still remembers us. Should we give him a hand if we have the chance?â Cheng Muâs eyes glittered.
Yi Shi was familiar with it. It was representing the manâs ambition.
âCheng Mu, you are overthinking it. Thereâs nothing we can do to help him. Besides, once we helped him, we would be falling out with Cangâ¦â Yi Shi advised.
Cheng Mu nodded indifferently. Yi Shi did not bother saying a word further. The two of them had been working together for so long. It was unlikely they would keep staying together now that the new era had arrived.
