Chapter 1687: The Man that Returns
"To defeat the Dao?"
Qin Nan was startled.
The other Arts of Dao Seeking were illustrating an intent, or the combination of various intents, but the Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript sounded more like a great ambition.
The goal of practicing the Art of Dao Seeking was to defeat the Dao!
However, Dao was vague and unreal, it was faintly discernible.
How could anyone defeat something like that?
"I initially thought you will be awakened after I fully ascend as an immortal, but you happened to show up now."
Qin Nan let out a wry smile.
The Battle Dao Immortal Manuscript was the Dao from the Divine God of Battle, a Dao of Primordial Times. It possessed unimaginable power, but it also interrupted his ascension. He still needed more energy to fully ascend as an immortal.
He was already at the last Immortal Ancient place of the Immortal Ascension War, and it was about to come to an end.
According to the Beast Hide Drawing, only when he fully ascended would he know the way of resurrecting Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan.
"Wait a second, my Immortal Soul and Immortal Flesh have been refined. I have overcome the Tribulation. I just need to transform the remaining god force into the immortal force."
"In other words, I no longer need anything else but a grand occasion."
Immortal flames flickered in Qin Nan's eyes.
The Immortal Ancient places were not necessarily the only way to ascend as an immortal. However, these Immortal Ancient places contained remarkable successions and would always attract a huge crowd.
"I have basically ascended. No one could tell that a part of my god force hasn't fully transformed into the immortal force yet, which means, I can still take part in the Battle of the Strongest Immortal.
Qin Nan slightly squinted.
The Battle of the Strongest Immortal was surely going to be a grand occasion, even grander than any of the Immortal Ancient places he had visited so far. After all, many Peerless Rulers, Heaven Immortals, and Earth Immortals would be there.
If he managed to win the battle, he would fully ascend and become a Human Immortal.
Whoosh!
Meanwhile, it felt like a sword had just slashed at the sky of the World of Yang, leaving a huge crack over eight hundred thousand li behind.
Strong gusts of wind burst out of it.
"The World of Yang will close in an hour. Those that stayed will cease to exist. Those that want to leave should make their way into the crack."
The ancient voice echoed across the place once again.
"Princess, Bilan, hang in there."
Qin Nan murmured. He landed on Wan Xiao who had just ascended successfully.
"Let's go."
The cultivators collected their thoughts and flew into the sky.
Meanwhile, the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, the Flowing Moon Dao City...
A few days ago, since the closure of the Lunar Sky Tower, the World of Yin and Yang had become the last Immortal Ancient place of the Immortal Ascension War.
Many people had set their eyes on the World of Yin and Yang, waiting for the final outcome. Lots of cultivators made their way over too.
Even though the bet that Meng Jiugong set had already closed, many cultivators were setting up their own bets to make a fortune from the outcome of the Immortal Ascension War.
"The Battle of Hundred Sects is most likely coming to an end soon!"
"Only two Peerless Geniuses have ascended so far, something huge must have happened in there!"
Most cultivators in the city were waiting for the result.
They had received the latest information from the cultivators who had left the World of Yang in advance after they had ascended.
Inside the main hall, Meng Jiugong, Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal, and the rest of the authorities had gathered together again.
The atmosphere in the hall was slightly nervous. After all, in some way, it was the last chance for the Peerless Geniuses under them to ascend. It would be troublesome if they failed.
Qiu Hong, Xu Xianzhi, and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal were holding their breaths too.
Only Meng Jiugong seemed to be wearing a faint smile all the time.
He was the Young Master of the Nine Palace Golden Immortal Sect. He had come all the way here and stayed for so long as he was interested to witness Qin Nan's misery.
He was very confident that his Flesh of Good Luck was unmatchable when it came to luck.
"The entrance to the World of Yin and Yang has appeared!"
"The Battle of Hundred Sects is done!"
"I wonder who ascended this time!"
"HAHA, don't you worry, Lin Qingpo whom we bet on is surely one of them!"
"I have placed my bet on Xiu Shenliang and Luo Yan. Those two aren't particularly outstanding, but they won't have any problem ascending too!"
The cultivators in the city were startled. They raised their heads and placed their attention on the Gate of Yin and Yang in the sky.
Meng Jiugong, Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal, and the others left the hall and lifted their gaze too.
ROAR!
A beastly roar came out of the Gate of Yin and Yang.
Following it, an enormous bird with purple-golden feathers, shrouded by wisps of immortal glow flew out of the gate with an overwhelming aura.
Everyone immediately realized that the beast had successfully ascended.
"Look, someone is standing on the beast!"
A voice exclaimed all of a sudden.
The cultivators were shocked. No ordinary person could subdue such a beast with outstanding bloodline to be their mount.
"Qin...Qin Nan?"
Meng Jiugong, Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal, Qiu Hong, and his crew, and the authorities of the various factions were startled when they took a closer look at the figure.
However, they soon noticed an immortal aura circling Qin Nan.
Qin Nan's cultivation was immeasurable like an ancient abyss too.
"Fellow cultivators, it's been a while."
Qin Nan glanced at the crowd and smiled. The smile widened when he saw Meng Jiugong.
"Qin Nan...managed to ascend?"
Meng Jiugong, Wanning Moon Heaven Immortal, and the rest of the authorities could not believe their eyes.
Qin Nan had the Flesh of Bad Fortune. It was meant to be suppressed by Meng Jiugong's Flesh of Good Luck, thus it was unlikely he could ascend as an immortal.
But now, Qin Nan had successfully ascended!
Did that simply imply Meng Jiugong's Flesh of Good Luck was no match against Qin Nan? Qin Nan's Flesh of Bad Fortune actually made him Meng Jiugong's nemesis?
