Chapter 1760: Comparable to the Empress
Everyone realized why Zhu Zihuang would take the initiative to approach Qin Nan despite the obvious conflict between him and the Peerless Rulers.
Before Qin Nan could speak, Zhu Zihuang said with a calm smile, "Of course, if I lose the duel, this wisp of Indistinct Purple Immortal Fire Seed is yours."
He reached his hand out, revealing a purple-golden flame.
Even though it was just a tiny sprout of flame, the temperature within a few dozens li suddenly rose rapidly. Everyone immediately felt the outstanding power from the fire.
"The Fire Seed of the Indistinct Purple Immortal Flame?"
"Tsk tsk, the flame can easily make it into the top ten flames in the Nongyan Tribe!"
"It seems like this Zhu Zihuang has gone all out to convince Qin Nan to accept the duel!"
The cultivators of the Primordial Tribes recognized the flame right away. Many of them blurted out in surprise.
"Damn it! That's insane!" the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor's eyes widened.
Even Qin Nan was startled too.
He had refined the Dao-Melting Immortal Flames and his immortal force into one.
If he was to refine the Fire Seed of the Indistinct Purple Immortal Flame too, it would surely result in great benefits to him.
Besides, he had yet to fight any of the geniuses from the Primordial Tribes.
"Qin Nan, you're the Strongest Immortal, don't tell me you're scared to accept Zhu Zihuang's invitation to a duel?"
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue chuckled and glanced at the others.
"That's right, how can the Strongest Immortal be afraid to accept the challenge?"
"Besides, it's a fair duel. It's not like Zhu Zihuang is trying to pick on you with his cultivation."
"HAHA, I bet he's really afraid. He wouldn't dare to accept it."
The others immediately realized what Immortal Emperor Jiangjue was up to. They quickly expressed their thoughts.
The other cultivators watched it all happen intriguedly too.
Everyone could tell that Immortal Emperor Jiangjue was trying to provoke Qin Nan, but they had to admit how effective it was.
For example, the Peerless Rulers almost lost their calm when Xiu Shenliang kept provoking them previously.
"How could I turn down Cultivator Zhu's sincere invitation? However, we aren't allowed to use violence here. Where are we supposed to have the duel?" Qin Nan asked. He did not seem to be bothered by the provocations.
Zhu Zihuang frowned. After a slight ponder, he said, "It's true that we aren't allowed to duel here, but we can take it outside. We just need to sweat an Immortal Demon Oath."
He quickly turned to Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the others, "I'm very fond of the saber. May I ask fellow seniors to swear an Immortal Demon Oath not to pick on Qin Nan when we are outside?"
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue exchanged glances with the others before nodding.
Zhu Zihuang was a core disciple of the Nongyan Tribe. He had a great future ahead, thus Immortal Emperor Jiangjue would not mind doing him the favor.
Besides, if Zhu Zihuang dared to invite Qin Nan to a duel, he must be very confident with himself. They were more than willing to see Qin Nan being defeated.
Zhu Zihuang expressed his gratitude before looking at the rest of the cultivators, "I hope fellow cultivators could respect the duel too. If anyone is interested in watching the duel, please swear an Immortal Demon Oath beforehand. Otherwise, it's going to be troublesome."
Almost every cultivator nodded.
They were willing to do the favor for Zhu Zihuang too.
Besides, if they did not do it, it was unlikely that Qin Nan would dare to risk his life.
"Qin Nan, what do you think?" Zhu Zihuang collected his thoughts and said calmly.
Qin Nan nodded.
He had to admit that this Zhu Zihuang was indeed being rigorous.
He was doing everything he could to convince him to accept the invitation.
"Eight Brilliance, may I ask, how reliable is the Immortal Demon Oath?"
Qin Nan transmitted his thought instead of giving his answer.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor also swore an Immortal Demon Oath at the Land of Immortal Death, but he was able to break the oath and attempt to devour him.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor couched and chuckled, "Don't worry, the Immortal Demon Oath is quite reliable still. Even if they are very capable, they won't be able to break it in just an hour."
Qin Nan was relieved. He had placed his final doubt behind his mind.
"Alright, if everything is as you've said, I'm willing to accept your invitation to a duel," Qin Nan looked at Zhu Zihuang in the eyes.
"However..."
Qin Nan's tone switched.
"However what? Qin Nan, Zhu Zihuang has already given his promise. What else do you want?"
The Peerless Ruler of the Nongyan Tribe seemed a little displeased.
The others nodded too.
"Feel free to say it."
Zhu Zihuang slowly withdrew his smile.
"It's nothing much, but I'm afraid you might be unaware that my current cultivation is the peak Earth Immortal Realm. I've also reforged my Dao Foundation, so there's no need for a fair duel. Just show me everything you got," Qin Nan said with a calm voice.
The man had challenged him to a duel and offer to have a fair duel. He would not abuse the fact that they still had no idea he had reforged the Dao Foundation to guarantee himself an advantageous position.
If the man challenged him to a fair duel, he wanted to defeat him fair and square too.
"I already knew you have reached the peak Earth Immortal Realm, I have also...wait, you've reforged your Dao Foundation?"
Zhu Zihuang's eyes widened as he suddenly realized something.
"He reforged...his Dao Foundation?"
In addition to him, Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, the Peerless Rulers, the Peerless Geniuses, and the rest of the cultivators were astounded.
Some of the cultivators were even struggling to believe their ears.
It was clearly not easy to reforge the Dao Foundation!
Most importantly, it had only been a little more than three months since Qin Nan's Dao Foundation was destroyed. How did he do it?
Did he obtain the full support of the Sky Taihuang Sect?
"What now? Do you still dare to fight my underling here?" Xiu Shenliang snapped disdainfully.
The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor's lips twisted.
The man could never stop, could he? He could mock anyone with the slightest thing that crossed his mind.
However, no one could find a single world to rebuke Xiu Shenliang.
Even Immortal Emperor Jiangjue and the Peerless Rulers realized Qin Nan was no longer the same Qin Nan who had fallen to the bottom of the valley.
They immediately recalled the scene where Qin Nan had defeated more than twenty Peerless Geniuses by himself.
Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, in particular, recalled how he had told Lin Huisheng's master that his disciple was reluctant to attack Qin Nan when he had the chance.
Lin Huisheng's master did not blame him either. He hesitated for a while and said with a sigh, "If Qin Nan's Dao Foundation isn't destroyed, he will be comparable to the Empress in a few thousand years."
Comparable to the Empress, how significant was it?
Who in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm did not know how unbeatable the Empress was?
