Chapter 1742: Daoist Qianjue

"Mas...master?"

Words could not describe the astonishment in the hearts of the crowd.

How terrifying would someone whom both Supreme Chang Xiao and Supreme Huanglei referred to as 'master' be?

"The old ancestor has gone to the Realm of Taihuang?"

Meanwhile, in the third realm of the Sky Taihuang Sect, one after another Nine Heavens Supreme who was either cultivating in seclusion or in a deep slumber, even those that were more formidable had woken up.

They executed a powerful eye-technique and placed their attention on the dojo albeit the distance between them. They seemed rather confused.

Based on their understanding of the old ancestor, he would only show up when something serious happened.

The place fell deadly silent.

An old man with an imposing appearance slowly stepped out from the rift. Each step he took would cause the surroundings to dim slightly.

Even though the old man was not emitting any aura, everyone could sense the destructive power inside his body.

A power that even Supreme Huanglei and Supreme Chang Xiao were incomparable to.

"Disciple Changkong, pay respects to grandmaster!"

"Disciple Feng Hua, pay respects to Senior Qianjue!"

Changkong and Envoy Feng Hua quickly recovered from their shock and greeted.

"Mas...master...why...why are you..."

Immortal Emperor Duling was utterly stunned.

The others might be clueless, but he was well aware that it had been a few hundred years since his master last visited the Realm of Taihuang.

Even he, as his master's second disciple had not seen his master for more than fifty years.

But why would his master show up now?

Did he just happen to be passing by coincidentally?

"Qianjue? Could he be the last Patriarch of the Sky Taihuang Sect? Daoist Qianjue? Didn't the rumors say he died in the First Immortal Realm? How is he alive still?"

The Supreme Elders of the Sanqing Ancient Sect and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect were dumbfounded. Their hearts shuddered while their bodies trembled.

Daoist Qianjue was still alive—it was clearly not a piece of good news to them!

"At ease."

Daoist Qianjue waved his hand. He ignored Immortal Emperor Duling and shifted his attention to Qin Nan with a soothing smile.

"Qin Nan, you are quite impressive, you have managed to reforge your Dao Foundation in just three months. I'll never be able to do that."

The eyes of the Nine Heavens Supremes flickered with astonishment upon hearing the words.

"Reforging his Dao Foundation? Who is the young man?"

"I've heard about him before. He was deemed Strongest Immortal during the Battle of the Strongest Immortal. He had achieved the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm as soon as he ascended, but..."

"Holy crap! That's insane!"

"HAHAHA, it seems like someone impressive has shown up in our sect!"

Most Nine Heavens Supremes' eyes were filled with admiration, doubts, and shock after hearing Qin Nan's achievements. Only a few frowned as they fell into deep ponders.

"Reforged...reforged his Dao Foundation?"

Immortal Emperor Duling's mind went blank as if he had been struck by lightning.

It had answered many of the questions he was having.

Envoy Feng Hua had come to intervene with the matter; both his Senior Brother and Supreme Huanglei had shown up; it was all because Qin Nan had reforged his Dao Foundation!

If it was just some other core disciple who had reforged his Dao Foundation, he would not be able to gather so much attention, but Qin Nan was different.

Everyone had clearly witnessed Qin Nan's insane talents and potential during the Battle of the Strongest Immortal.

It was only a matter of time before Qin Nan became the strongest core disciple, one that could easily be ranked at the top among the Exceptional Geniuses in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

"Grandmaster has spoken highly of me, I was only able to reforge my Dao Foundation because of luck."

Qin Nan brought his fists together and shook his head.

Anyone whose Dao Foundation had been destroyed could easily reforge it if they found the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames and an entire place filled Immortal Blessing resources and other rare resources.

"You're being modest. Luck also plays an important role in a person's cultivation."

Daoist Qianjue's eyes glittered.

The truth was, he had no choice but to come in person after knowing that Qin Nan had reforged his Dao Foundation.

He recalled the warning that Feiyue had give them three months ago and the series of events that befell Qin Nan. He could easily tell that something unusual was happening behind the scene, which was tightly related to Qin Nan's background.

Even Qin Nan was unaware of the power he possessed.

"Alright, let's get back to business. I've heard a few things on my way here. Allow me to redress the balance here."

Daoist Qianjue said calmly, "Duling, bring your son to the Evil Grind Valley and train there for a hundred years."

Immortal Emperor Duling's face turned pale, "Master, the Evil Grind..."

However, before he could finish, his heart skipped a beat when he saw Daoist Qianjue looking at him. He did not dare to speak a word further.

"Acknowledged!"

Immortal Emperor Duling lowered his head and brought You Hong with him as he left.

He was filled with deep remorse. If he knew Qin Nan had reforged his Dao Foundation, he would never allow his son to come take the Dark Underworld Wood away from him.

He would not just turn a blind eye to it, nor would he intervene with the matter and even threaten Qin Nan.

"Daoist Qianjue has come to serve justice on Qin Nan's behalf!"

The Supreme Elders and the rest of the crowd inhaled deeply. The single deed that Daoist Qianjue did serve as an obvious signal.

Daoist Qianjue smiled and said, "Qin Nan, from today onward, you are one of the Six Great Core Disciples of the Sky Taihuang Sect. Besides, since you have been mistreated today, I will accept one request from you."

He added after a slight pause, "Of course, it's only limited to asking for a Martial Art or certain resources. I can't be bothered to do anything troublesome."

Qin Nan brought his fists together and said, "Thank you, grandmaster, but I don't really have any request for now."

He was grateful that the Sky Taihuang Sect had given him the Dark Underworld Wood and many other resources.

Daoist Qianjue glared at him after hearing his response, "No, you must come up with one. Otherwise, how would the others see our Sky Taihuang Sect?"

"Well..."

Qin Nan wore a wry smile and said, "Alright, I have a brother called Qiu Hong, he's an inner disciple here. I hope he won't be picked on by anyone from today onward."

Both Supreme Huanglei and Supreme Chang Xiao were amused by the request.

Who would possibly dare to bully Qiu Hong after what happened today?

Daoist Qianjue was speechless too. He tossed Qin Nan a badge and said, "This is the complete Scriptures of Sky Taihuang. Go practice it yourself, I'll be leaving."

The man then vanished into thin air.
