Chapter 1667: The Meng Brothers
Beside the young man in a blue robe were two young men and a woman. Their gazes directed at Qin nan were filled with a hint of icy, murderous intent.
Their auras were like a deep abyss, immeasurable and obscure, and were only slightly weaker than the young man in a blue robe. It was quite likely they were Peerless Geniuses too.
"Qin Nan, this young man in a blue robe is the first core disciple of the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect, Ci Renxian. Apparently, when he was born, countless immortals have shown up to celebrate it, it was remarkable."
The Blood-Eye Human Immortal immediately transmitted his voice.
Qin Nan immediately came to a realization too.
He never shared any conflict with this Ci Renxian. The man must have threatened to kill him because of Long Xuanling.
Long Xuanling was currently a great authority in the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect.
Ci Renxian did not talk further. He soon withdrew his gaze and proceeded to the seats reserved for the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect with the other three.
To him, even though Qin Nan's strength was quite outstanding since he was no ordinary Peerless Genius, he still believed he could kill Qin Nan with ease.
As such, it was meaningless to talk further or place his attention on a man that was going to die soon.
Following it, the Peerless Ruler and five Supreme Elders of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect showed up in the hall.
The confrontation between the cultivators ceased the moment they appeared.
The elders and disciples of various factions moved around to get to know the authorities and geniuses of other factions.
Apart from Xiu Shenliang, Lin Qingpo, Ci Renxian, Luo Yan, and Ding Tianqi were soon surrounded by cultivators. The whole place was bustling with noise.
"Fellow cultivators, it's a pleasure for us to gather together."
A Supreme Elder of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect rose to his feet and said loudly, "I believe fellow young cultivators will be entering the Immortal Ancient place when it opens, to ascend as an immortal."
"The rest of the cultivators, and the few tens of thousand cultivators in the Flowing Moon Dao City won't be able to take part, but we'll be having a grand event too."
The whole palace immediately fell silent when the man gave his speech. It immediately gathered the attention of the authorities and the Peerless Geniuses.
They were well aware that the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect was about to hold a grand betting event again.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with excitement.
He had yet to participate in any bet that the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect held since the very first Immortal Ancient place had shown up.
"I assume everyone knows our usual way, I'll make it clear then, the bet has been classified as Third Golden Level."
The eyes of many authorities flickered with astonishment.
Normally, the bets set up by the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect were not graded. If they were to grade the bets, the grades would be Third Golden Level, Sixth Golden Level, and Ninth Golden Level, with Ninth Golden Level being the highest level.
Although Third Golden Level was the lowest grade, it was extremely rare to see one normally. It had only happened once in the first Immortal Ascension War.
"We have come up with an Immortal Ascension Ranking with all the news we've collected, and only the names of the Peerless Geniuses that are going to enter the World of Yin and Yang are listed on the ranking."
"You will understand once you see the ranking. If you're thinking of placing a bet, you can easily do it through the Immortal Ascension Ranking."
"All bets are to be placed before midnight."
The five Supreme Elders exchanged glances with one another and performed a hand seal simultaneously.
Apart from the authorities and the geniuses that were present at the feast, the cultivators in the city felt the whole Flowing Moon Dao City shuddered.
Countless light dots descended from the rift and arrived in front of each person in the palace, before turning into a crystalline jade stone.
The stone was carved with magical runes. After it was awakened, a watery screen full of words would immediately appear in their eyes.
The cultivators subconsciously read the words.
"Immortal Ascension Ranking!"
"Rank one, Lin Qingpo, the first core disciple of the Supreme Daoism faction, Extreme Living Gate. He's also known as one of the Seven Elites of Heavens and Earth. He has achieved the peak Heaven God Realm, and the minor success stage of the Dao Realm. His odds are 1.2."
"Rank two, Hua Jiandao, the core disciple of the Supreme Daoism faction, Reincarnation Sect. His true strength remains unknown, but he fought Wu Huisheng, one of the Seven Elites of Heavens and Earth once, and it ended in a draw. He has successfully ascended as an immortal..."
"Rank three, Xiu Shenliang, from the Supreme Daoism faction Illusionary Immortal Dao Gate..."
"Rank four, Ding Tianqi, a disciple of the South World Immortal Emperor..."
"Rank five, Luo Yan..."
The list went on.
Every name was listed with great details. Some even had the strengths and weaknesses of the cultivators.
However, that was not the key to it.
When the authorities and the Peerless Geniuses quickly scanned through the list, they could not help but inhale deeply.
"Six...sixty-seven Peerless Geniuses?"
No one had expected that the World of Yin and Yang would attract so many Peerless Geniuses.
The total number of Peerless Geniuses in this current Immortal Ascension War was likely to consist of only two digits.
"Hehe, what nonsense is this Immortal Ascension Ranking? How are Lin Qingpo and Hua Jiandao ranked in front of me?"
Xiu Shenliang was the first to collect his thoughts. His expression darkened.
"I believe this Immortal Ascension Ranking isn't quite accurate."
Luo Yan seemed displeased too.
In addition to them, many Peerless Geniuses shared the same reaction.
Every cultivator that was deemed a Peerless Genius was mostly proud and arrogant. It went without saying that they were not convinced of their ranking on the Immortal Ascension Ranking.
"Rank fifty-three, Qin Nan, the Flesh of Bad Fortune, also known as the God of Misfortune, a cultivator that has ascended from the Secondary Lower Realm..."
"The odds are 1.5."
Qin Nan finally found his name toward the bottom of the ranking.
"Fifty-three?"
Qiu Hong, Xu Xianzhi, and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal also saw his name. They were startled, as they could not believe their eyes.
How was Qin Nan only ranked fifty-third despite his outstanding strength?
"What useless Immortal Ascension Ranking is this? How is Brother Nan only ranked fifty-third with his strength?"
Qiu Hong collected his thoughts and snapped furiously.
It was acceptable if the Immortal Ascension Ranking was slightly inaccurate.
However, wasn't it too inaccurate?
It was basically a humiliation!
"What's wrong with ranking him fifty-third? If it wasn't for his strength, he might even end up at the bottom.
A voice said in front of the hall.
