Chapter 1643: The Dance of the Seven Dragons
Among the Immortal Ancient places, the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm had existed for a relatively long time.
Its origin was full of mysteries, and there were two sayings that were popular among the cultivators.
The first saying was, the place was a great conspiracy set up by the ancient dragon tribe, to acquire information about the geniuses of the human tribe and entrap them.
The other saying was, nine Dragon Immortals had infuriated a Nine Heavens Supreme a few tens of thousand years ago, and were murdered on the spot. Their remains fell to the ground and triggered a strange reaction, forming the mystical realm.
In comparison, the second saying was more acceptable to the cultivators, and they assumed the succession of the Dragon Immortals was lying within the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm.
If anyone could inherit the succession, not only would the person ascend as an immortal by obtaining the succession left by the nine Dragon Immortals, the person might even have a chance of finding the ancient dragon tribe that had gone missing.
"Qin Nan, the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm has already opened two hours ago. The cultivators who gathered here before must have gone inside."
The Bliss Immortal Emperor said.
"Two hours ago?"
Qin Nan was startled.
At the entrance of the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm was an enormous, dragon-shaped arc, and ahead of it were three magnificent, ancient cities.
As he approached the place, he could hear a loud noise coming from the cities from far away.
Judging from the noise, there were quite a lot of cultivators in the three cities.
"I'm afraid the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect is setting up bets again!"
Qin Nan's lips twisted slightly. He turned into a light ray flying into the dragon-shaped arc entrance.
Little did he know, as he flew across the cities...
"That man is the God of Misfortune, Qin Nan!"
"Qin Nan, the God of Misfortune is here too? Notify the elders at once!"
"Very well, another impressive Peerless Genius has just arrived, the bet is surely going to expand too!"
Discussions took place in every corner of the cities.
Qin Nan was totally unaware of it. A few moments later, under the gaze of the three Immortal Emperors, he entered the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm.
"Mm?"
He frowned as soon as he stepped inside.
He discovered an ancient dojo with a circumference of over three hundred zhang under his feet.
There was no anything out of ordinary as he glanced into the distance. It was just a vast land, covered in ravines and remains of cultivators. It was quite obvious that the place had gone through lots of great battles.
However, Qin Nan sharply noticed an invisible barrier shrouding the dojo.
On top of it, the aura of the barrier was rather shocking. It had significantly surpassed the Heaven God Realm, meaning that even he would have trouble breaking through it.
In other words, he was trapped as soon as he came into the place.
A dragon cry echoed above the dojo.
A golden illusionary figure of a dragon entered Qin Nan's Divine Sense at lightning speed.
Before he could react, an imperious voice exploded inside his mind.
"This is the resting place of the Dragon Immortals, those that were unfateful with the beast tribe were not allowed to venture any further and disturb the Dragon Immortals!"
"I will now teach you the Dragon Summoning Immortal Art. If you're fateful with the beast tribe, you'll be able to unleash its power..."
"If you fail to do so..."
The imperious voice stopped. Countless dragon runes appeared in Qin Nan's mind and combined into an art.
The doubt in Qin Nan's mind dissipated too.
The Nine Dragon Mystical Realm was different from the other Immortal Ancient places. Every person that was planning to go inside have to master the Dragon Summoning Immortal Art.
The art was not difficult to learn, but its effects would differ too when different people were casting it.
It was able to summon red dragons, golden dragons, purple dragons, battle dragons, seven-headed battle dragons, seven-headed godly dragons, and ten-headed immortal dragons.
Only those that managed to summon a seven-clawed battle dragon or above would then be led further into the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm to compete for the succession.
Those that failed would only be led to the middle or outer part of the place.
That being said, the higher the level of the dragon that was summoned, the more the benefits that the person would be given as they ventured deeper into the place.
"Interesting."
Qin Nan sat with his legs crossed and mumbled to himself, "The White-Blue Flower is surely going to unleash its power as I am practicing the Dragon-Summoning Immortal Art."
"Once I'm done, the Nine Dragon Mystical Realm will surely behave abnormally."
Saying this, he cleared his thoughts and focused on learning the art.
Time gradually passed. An hour was gone fairly quickly.
Qin Nan's eyes sprang open. He performed a hand seal, summoning one hundred and thirty-three illusionary dragons around him.
"Dragon-Summoning Immortal Art!"
Qin Nan gathered the illusionary dragons on the tip of his finger and flicked it forward.
Following it, a tremendous aura of dragons came from the distance.
Not long after, the clouds were dyed purple as two enormous, purple dragons over a thousand and seven hundred zhang long flew at him while swinging their tails.
"Only two purple dragons? Am I really that unfateful with the ancient dragon tribe?"
Qin Nan's lips twisted. He activated the Dao Crystal and applied the Dao Glow on his hands and demanded, "Again!"
The force spread forward.
The two purple dragons shattered into pieces of purple light glow.
Following it, wisps of battle intent came from all directions like rivers.
Seven enormous dragons with shocking battle intent flew toward Qin Nan.
Unlike the two purple dragons, their eyes were fixed on Qin Nan as if they were alive. They seemed to be checking him out.
"Even with the Dao Crystal, I can only summon a Seven-Headed Battle Dragon? Forget it, I'll head inside first. If the grade of the dragons is really that important, I'll just subdue the dragons that other cultivators have."
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind. He turned into a ray of light piercing through the barrier and landed on the head of one of the battle dragons.
"Let's go, bring me deeper."
The battle dragon and the other six battle dragons were infuriated. They did not expect the man was bold enough to ride them.
However, before they could go enraged, the rage in their eyes dissipated as they felt a tremendous, immeasurable battle intent.
Their eyes flickered with joy instead.
These battle dragons were born to battle, and they were willing to submit themselves as rides to a genius with an overwhelming battle intent.
The seven battle dragons uttered loud cries as they sprang forward at a shocking pace.
