Chapter 1746: The Nongyan Tribe
Lin Ming said, "The Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda is different. It doesn't matter what your cultivation, your faction, or your tribe is, even if you are one of the Ancient Taboo, you are allowed to enter it too."
Qin Nan was startled, "Did you just mention the Ancient Taboo?"
The Forbidden Taboo Flesh he practiced was the core art of the Forbidden Taboo Sect.
The Forbidden Taboo Sect was a faction that was specifically established to rebel against the Ancient Taboo.
However, Qin Nan always assumed the Ancient Taboo was a terrifying ancient faction. Not many people would know about its existence.
Lin Ming was startled, "Does Senior Brother not know what the Ancient Taboo is?"
Lin Ming said with a smile before Qin Nan could react, "The Ancient Taboo isn't necessarily a secret. It's an ancient faction in the First Immortal Realm, a very mysterious faction, no one knows what its background is."
"Its strength is terrifying. It's a lot stronger than any of the Supreme Daoism factions. However, the people of the Ancient Taboo are pretty weird. They have killed many geniuses for no reason."
"It has become the public enemy after all these years. The thirteen Supreme Daoism factions and the ancient tribes absolutely despise them."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered after hearing the words.
Killing geniuses for no reason?
"Let's not talk about the Ancient Taboo for now. Lin Ming, do you have a map to the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda? We'll be heading there now," Qin Nan said.
Lin Ming coughed and said, "Senior Brother, there's no need for a map. There's a teleporting formation in the city. It will bring you to the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda right away."
Lin Ming wore a wry smile and added, "Senior Brother, I'm afraid I can't keep you company. I'll have to stay here, but don't you worry, the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda will assign someone to receive you."
Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal exchanged glances with one another and nodded. Qin Nan said with a smile, "If that's the case, we'll be going then. Thanks for your help, you can come see me if you need anything."
Qin Nan gave Lin Ming a badge. He had quite a good impression of the young man.
"Thanks, Senior Brother!"
Lin Ming brought his fists together with joy.
Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal bid farewell to the young man and flew to the other side of the city. They used the teleporting ancient formation and departed for the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda.
However, little did they know, Lin Ming flipped the badge around with a disdainful look after they left.
"He even gave me a badge, what a surprise..."
Lin Ming murmured. He then transmitted a message through a white badge, "Cultivator, Qin Nan is heading for the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda. You just need to pay a certain price, and the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda will keep an eye on them for you."
He pinched the white badge into pieces after transmitting the thought.
Time gradually passed. A few moments later...
An enormous formation glowed brilliantly. Qin Nan, the Blood-Eye Human Immortal, and a group of cultivators slowly stepped out of the formation.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan lifted his gaze as he sensed something.
He found himself standing on a blue dojo covering an area of over two hundred thousand li. The bustling dojo was fully crowded with people. The dojo led to nine teleporting formations of different colors at the end.
In addition to it, there were nine light glows similar to a moon floating in the sky above the dojo. They were connected together with dark icy chains resembling ferocious black dragons.
Each of the lights was a small unique world.
Little did Qin Nan know, when cultivators with weaker cultivation looked at them, they would see thousands of light glows spreading across the sky, resulting in a spectacular sight.
It was the origin of the name, the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda.
"Greetings, the nine worlds represent different levels. If you're more worthy to us, you will be permitted to enter the high-level worlds to enjoy a better treatment," a voice said.
Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal glanced ahead and saw a young man in the peak Human Immortal Realm in a long white robe with a golden flower embroidered on his chest walking up to them.
There were many cultivators like him on the dojo. Each of them was receiving one or several cultivators at the same time.
"Pleased to meet you, I am Xu San, a disciple of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda. Feel free to ask me if you have any questions," Xu San bowed.
"Brother Xu, you mentioned that each of the nine worlds represents different levels. How can we enter the better worlds?" the Blood-Eye Human Immortal asked curiously.
"You might be unaware, but our Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda has a way of estimating the worth of each cultivator. First, we'll be looking at your identity. Second, we'll estimate your worth based on the things you can offer."
Xu San said with a smile, "Therefore, Mr. Qin Nan here who's the Strongest Immortal, a core disciple of the Sky Taihuang Sect and an honorable disciple of Supreme Chang Xiao can enter the fourth world."
Qin Nan's heart shuddered.
The Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda was indeed impressive. They had already found out who he was in such a short period of time.
"Is Cultivator Qin Nan intrigued? The truth is, even though the disciples of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda aren't talented, but we can remember every Peerless Genius, or those with a certain level of influence in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
"We've also seen the portraits of most people and memorized their appearance."
Xu San said with a smile, but there was a hint of pride in his tone.
"Impressive!"
Qin Nan exclaimed. He said, "Cultivator Xu San, shouldn't we be getting ourselves evaluated? Let's go."
Xu San nodded and said, "Come with me. There are several people comparable to you being evaluated at the moment."
Under Xu San's lead, Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal soon arrived at the front of the dojo.
Qin Nan looked around him along the way and came to a realization.
The evaluation was pretty simple. They just had to show their possessions for the people of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda to evaluate their worth.
Xu San soon came to a stop and said respectfully to an old man with white hair and a pair of energetic eyes, "Elder Lin, there are here to be evaluated."
Elder Lin said calmly without raising his head, "Line up at the back."
Qin Nan was not in a rush. He looked at Elder Lin then at the people in the line. His eyes flickered with astonishment following a glance.
There were around ten men and women in the line, but a young man in particular with a pale face was hairless. His eyes were made of purple flames with an overbearing presence.
On top of it, there was a lady and a glamorous middle-aged woman. Their bodies were continuously emitting a faint lunar glow even though they were not unleashing their auras.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, the young man is from the Nongyan Tribe, and the two women are from the Lingyue Tribe. These two tribes are among the Primordial Tribes with formidable backgrounds. It will be best to stay out of their way."
Xu San immediately transmitted his voice to Qin Nan, "As for the rest, they are the son of Immortal Emperor Linghun who's also a core disciple of a Nine Heavens Supreme, and..."
Xu San proceeded to tell Qin Nan the identities of the people that were in the queue. However, he had only mentioned their identities briefly without stating their names.
"The Primordial Tribes huh?"
Qin Nan secretly activated the Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle to inspect the three that caught his attention.
He did not have much interest in the others.
"Kid, are you tired of living?" the young man with eyes of purple flames snapped coldly.
"Are all core disciples of the Sky Taihuang Sect without manners like you?"
The middle-aged woman who was initially smiling suddenly wore a cold face.
"These ancient tribes are very impressive indeed. It feels like the young man is made of a powerful flame, and the presence of the two women is no different than the moon. Besides, they were able to sense I'm using an eye-technique on them..."
Qin Nan was shocked.
He initially thought his Immortal Eyes of the Divine God of Battle were unusual enough. Even Peerless Rulers would have a hard time detecting it.
Qin Nan quickly apologized, "Pardon me, it's my first time seeing someone from the Primordial Tribes, so I'm a little curious."
