Chapter 1726: Dao-Melting Immortal Flames

Inside the cauldron, under the puffs of white smoke was a white flame around the size of a thumb flickering slightly. It was not emitting an aura. It was difficult to notice it without observing it carefully.

Qin Nan was confident that he had never seen the flame before, but for some reason, it felt extremely familiar to him, as if it was engraved into his soul.

"Is the flame summoning the Ownerless Heaven Pattern?"

Qin Nan arrived at a conclusion. After a slight ponder, he tried firing a wisp of immortal force containing his will into the flame.

Buzz!

Qin Nan's Divine Sense began to shake vigorously.

A deep voice that transcended time and space appeared.

"This is Seed of the Dao-Melting Immortal Flame. It is refined by nature when I was refining the Heaven-Defying Primary Core! Once you perfected the flames, you will be able to melt the Great Dao and burn down the Immortals!"

"My time is coming to an end, I will soon cease to exist in this world. If you happen to be the fateful one, you can practice this Primary Spiritual Seal and refine it, and let its name spread widely across the Nine Heavens!"

"However, do remember this, if you are to use this seal before reaching the level of a Nine Heavens Supreme, make sure the tribe of Immortal Spirits didn't notice it. Otherwise, it will place you in grave danger!"

Following it, countless ancient words entered Qin Nan's Divine Sense.

Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.

He did not feel like the voice was lying to him, but he was struggling to understand why he would receive all these benefits for no reason?

Although Qin Nan knew he had always had quite good luck, it was never this incredible.

"The flame was summoning the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, which I've gotten from the Divine God of Battle. The Beast Hide Drawing is interested in the Ownerless Heaven Pattern too, which means..."

"It's because of my past life?"

The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind.

The only valid explanation was that the mysterious expert knew him in his past life, and he was rather close to him, thus he had left the Seed of the Dao-Melting Immortal Flame for him.

Even if that was not the case, it was likely to have something to do with his past life still.

After all, only the person that owned the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was qualified to be the 'fateful one' that the mysterious expert had mentioned.

"I wonder if I was the First or Second Immortal in my past life, to be able to bring such a great impact to my current life," Qin Nan murmured.

He would be lying if he said he was not curious at all.

"Err...Senior...Senior Rudao...I have nothing to do with it...I have no idea..."

A stammering voice suddenly came from outside.

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor slowly moved into the residence while his body was trembling. His face was pale too.

The person beside him was Supreme Rudao.

Behind her was the Bliss Immortal Emperor and the Ground Spirit Immortal Emperor.

The two Immortal Emperors were wearing pale faces. Their eyes were displaying a strong hint of grievance.

"Supreme Rudao? You can come in here?"

Qin Nan's eyes widened. He immediately grabbed the badge that Supreme Chang Xiao gave him. He also gathered his focus and prepared to activate the Seal of the Divine God of Battle.

"Why would I have trouble coming in here?"

Supreme Rudao looked at Qin Nan before glancing at the cauldron. Her eyes flickered with astonishment when she saw the immortal flame dissipating.

"So you're the fateful one that the old man mentioned?"

Supreme Rudao smiled, like the blossoming of flowers.

"The fateful one?"

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the two Immortal Emperors were startled.

"You know about it too?"

Qin Nan was slightly surprised. He quickly collected his thoughts and brought his fists together, "May I ask, senior, who's the person that left the immortal flame behind?"

Supreme Rudao rolled her eyes and snapped, "Am I even that old? Why are you calling me senior? Just call me Mengyao!"

Her actual name was Xue Mengyao.

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor and the two Immortal Emperors were dumbfounded.

Was this still the Supreme Rudao they knew?

Besides, why was she treating Qin Nan whose Dao Foundation had been shattered, and was only an Earth Immortal differently?

"Well..."

Qin Nan wore an awkward look. He nodded and said, "Alright, I'll call you Meng...Mengyao."

However, Qin Nan did not lower his guard.

It was quite difficult to grasp the personalities of a Nine Heavens Supreme. She might be smiling like she was in a good mood now, but she might suddenly be displeased and kill without any hesitation.

"Forget it, let's discuss some serious matter. Lend me your saber, and I'll tell you who the old man is."

Supreme Rudao blinked as a thought crossed her mind, "Don't worry, I'm just borrowing your saber. I won't do any harm to you."

Qin Nan was startled. He asked probingly, "You want to borrow...the Heaven-Shattering Saber?"

Supreme Rudao stretched and said indifferently, "I'm not going to lie, the Ancient Taboo has inserted some annoying nails into me. I can't get rid of them myself, so I need your saber."

It cleared the doubts that Qin Nan was having in his mind.

He did see the nails in Supreme Rudao's body when he first entered her palace.

"Of course we are more than willing to borrow you the saber! I already said it, we immediately felt a kinship with senior you at first sight. We'll do whatever you need, let alone lending you a saber..."

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor immediately became restless.

He initially thought he would be turned into slaves protecting the palace like the two Immortal Emperors, yet the whole situation had changed all of a sudden.

The two Immortal Emperors were wearing a complicated look. It had a hint of envy, jealousy, anger, and helplessness.

They would never think that in Supreme Rudao's yes, two Peerless Rulers were less valuable than a single Qin Nan whose Dao Foundation had been destroyed, and was only in the Earth Immortal Realm.

"Are you still worried? Should I swear an Immortal Demon Oath then?"

Supreme Rudao ignored the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor. She stared right at Qin Nan with a faint grin.

"That won't be necessary, you're a Nine Heavens Supreme. Your words clearly carry weight. I trust you."

Qin Nan shook his head. His right arm turned into the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

It was true that he did not trust the woman, yet regardless of how outstanding her cultivation was, she would never be able to claim the Heaven-Shattering Saber, unless she devoured him.

"Mm, that's very sensible of you."

Supreme Rudao took the Heaven-Shattering Saber and flickered it. The saber buzzed and emitted an icy glow.

"Such a masterpiece, I'm quite curious where you got it from, even I am a little jealous..."

Supreme Rudao murmured. She turned and left with the two Immortal Emperors.

A pleasant voice echoed from the distance.

"The old man is one of the Ten Immortals, but he didn't let me tell you who he is exactly."

"By the way, you might be able to reforge your Dao Foundation if you use the Dao-Melting Immortal Flame to refine all the Immortal Blessing resources in here."
