Chapter 1723: Exquisite Jade Supreme
"Bliss, we..."
The Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor seemed a little reluctant.
The Bliss Immortal Emperor's lips moved. It was difficult to tell what he was saying to the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor. Following it, the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor harrumphed and fell silent.
"Qin Nan, what do you think?"
The Bliss Immortal Emperor said with a calm smile, reclaiming his initial soothing temperament. He acted as if nothing had happened between them.
"If that's the case..."
Qin Nan pretended to be at a loss. He remained silent for some time and said, "We'll follow his suggestion then."
It was the only option under the circumstances.
The Bliss Immortal Emperor and the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor did not say a word further. They looked at the Supreme Boulder and immediately immersed their thoughts in it to comprehend it.
They had to try if they could comprehend a talisman with nine runes.
"See, ain't I very smart? Nothing would go wrong as long as you're with me!"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor lifted his head proudly.
"Keep an eye on them."
Qin Nan could not care less what the man said. He sat down with his legs crossed.
It was meaningless to try ambushing the two Immortal Emperors for now. It was better if he used the time to absorb some Qi to recover his Immortal Soul.
Eight days were gone fairly quickly.
The two Immortal Emperors finished comprehending the Supreme Boulder. They only obtained a talisman with two runes each.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor could not help but wear a proud grin. The two Immortal Emperors immediately twisted their lips. Were they really less talented than this idiot?
"Alright, we'll be able to head inside once we refined the talismans," the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor said.
Qin Nan and the others proceeded to refine the talismans.
Wisps of strange energy fell from the sky and encapsulated them. They soon vanished and arrived at an unfamiliar place.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan discovered that the Ownerless Heaven Pattern in his Divine Sense started glowing with a hint of joy as soon as it got a foothold on the ground.
"F**k me!"
"Isn't...isn't that..."
Three voices blurted out in astonishment when Qin Nan's thoughts were still preoccupied. He subconsciously lifted his gaze.
Around a thousand zhang away was a huge lake covering a few hundred li. The surface of the lake was glittering like a jade, with immortal rays swimming back and forth in it like dragons.
The end of the lake was covered by a thick mist, preventing anyone from seeing through it.
Suddenly, a strange force circled Qin Nan's heart. It was giving him the urge to walk up to the lake and took a sip from it.
"What lake is this?" Qin Nan asked after withdrawing his thoughts.
"It's...it's the Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake nurtured by the Heavens and Earth..."
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor's eyes flickered passionately. He even began to stammer, "An Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake over ten li...is already...already enough for someone to become a Heaven Immortal without any side effects...but this..."
Qin Nan already knew how significant the lake was without hearing the rest from the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor. His eyes flickered with astonishment.
The Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake before them was covering more than a few hundred li. How magnificent would the immortal force it contained be?
Besides, there was a chance that its immortal force had evolved in a certain away, which had allowed it to grow to its current scale!
Even the eyes of the Immortal Emperors were burning passionately after seeing the Blessed Place, let alone the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor.
Buzz!
The Ownerless Heaven Pattern in Qin Nan's Divine Sense began to shake vigorously. A strong will entered Qin Nan's heart.
"What's happening? Why is the Ownerless Heaven Pattern asking me to go inside the lake? Could it be there's something related to it in the lake..."
Qin Nan frowned.
A huge gust of wind swept at the lake from nowhere.
The thick mist began to dissipate, revealing a giant tree over three thousand zhang tall standing firmly like a huge mountain, with countless crystalline branches dangling from it.
Each leaf on the tree was glowing brilliantly, with a hint of sacredness.
"My Heavens! Could this be...the Immortal Nocturne Willow?" the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor blurted out.
The Immortal Nocturne Willow was considered an 'Immortal Blessing' among the natural resources. It was incredibly rare in the entire Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Only one would show up every few hundred years.
"It's really the Immortal Nocturne Willow!"
The two Immortal Emperors were overjoyed too.
Qin Nan withheld the urge in his heart and activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle. He tried peeking into the lake but failed. He then shifted his attention onto the Immortal Nocturne Willow.
"Mm? Is that..."
Qin Nan suddenly noticed a golden-runed coffin over five zhang long deep inside the branches and leaves of the tree.
His vision surprisingly went through the thick coffin.
He saw a glamorous woman with long hair reaching her waist, attractive facial features, and pale tender skin lying inside it.
However, the woman's shoulders and ankles had nails that were engraved with ferocious black dragons.
ROAR!
The four Black Dragon Nails seemed to have noticed something. They opened their mouths and uttered a thunderous roar that echoed loudly in Qin Nan's Divine Sense. Qin Nan was forced to withdraw his gaze.
"Could the woman be Supreme Rudao?"
Qin Nan murmured. He was surprised when he noticed his Forbidden Taboo Flesh was activated on its own.
He subconsciously felt like he was facing a formidable foe.
"Is that..."
Qin Nan's heart skipped a beat. Two words immediately crossed his mind.
Ancient Taboo!
The Forbidden Taboo Flesh he had practiced was from the Forbidden Taboo Sect, a faction that was specifically established to oppose the Ancient Taboo.
Only the presence of the Ancient Taboo was able to trigger a reaction from the Forbidden Taboo Flesh.
In other words, Supreme Rudao did not die naturally. She was nailed to death by the Ancient Taboo?
"Supreme Rudao's coffin!"
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the two Immortal Emperors were excited when they discovered the golden coffin.
However, their eye-technique was not strong enough to see through it. They were unaware of what was inside it.
"Very well, everything is exactly the same as what the scroll has described!"
The Bliss Immortal Emperor suddenly blurted out joyfully.
"Qin Nan, it's time for you to die!"
The Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor took out a green badge with a murderous look, "It no longer matters how many wisps of the will of a Nine Heavens Supreme you have!"
He quickly performed a hand seal and tapped the badge. The Immortal Nocturne Willow immediately spread its branches apart as if it had been awakened.
The water of the Exquisite Jade Supreme Lake started to boil too.
