Not only did Lu Tianji and his crew tried to kill him, he even lusted after the princess.
If Qin Nan did not happen to arrive in time, the princess would have fallen victim to them.
How could he let Lu Tianji go now that he had stumbled into him once again?
"He's trying to kill an inner disciple of the Lu Clan?"
The elders of the Nine Streams Sect, the cultivators, and the Human God young man were astounded.
No matter how formidable the person's background was, killing an inner disciple of the Lu Clan was never a small matter. The Lu Clan would not forgive him easily.
However, if the person still dared to do so, it only meant one thing.
The person's identity could simply ignore the Lu Clan!
"Young Master Qin, please spare me my life..."
Lu Tianji's scalp turned numb as a great chill ran down his spine. He had no intention to fight at all. He immediately begged for his life, to try and calm Qin Nan's rage.
"Destruction Fist!"
Qin Nan attacked immediately. Wisps of black glow accumulated at the tip of his fist before surging forward in a terrifying aura. Even the surrounding rift was vibrating vigorously.
"Earth...Earth God Realm?"
The people nearby were startled once again.
Achieving the Earth God Realm at such a young age, not only did he possess a formidable background, even his talents were remarkable.
"Ancestor Talisman, descend upon this realm at once!"
Lu Tianji's expression changed tremendously. He quickly utilized his strongest move without hesitation. He immediately turned into a magnificent ray of light soaring into the clouds.
As an inner disciple of the Lu Clan, he had lots of usable to preserve his life.
Besides, he was no longer in the Canglan Continent where his cultivation was suppressed at the Martial Monarch Realm. He could finally utilize the maximum potential of his capabilities.
"Sky-Stride Blow!"
Qin Nan moved into the sky and slashed ferociously at the immortal ray. A strong saber intent spread in all directions.
AH!
A great cry echoed in the ears of the crowd.
However, the immortal ray did not slow down. It soon left the Sky Wheel Realm at such a remarkable pace that even Qin Nan had no chance of catching up to it.
"That talisman was quite strange, it seems like these disciples from formidable factions aren't easy to deal with."
Qin Nan frowned as he withdrew his aura.
He could not tell if Lu Tianji was still alive or dead, but he was confident that even if the man managed to survive, he would be suffering from severe injuries.
"Who's so bold to dare use violence in our Nine Streams Sect?"
An imperious roar exploded in the air.
Several powerful auras rose from the ancient cities nearby, including the presence of a Heaven God.
A place like the Nine Streams Sect had strictly implied that no violence was allowed within their territories.
"Qin Nan!"
The Blood-Eye Earth God was startled. He immediately prepared himself to bring Qin Nan away.
"Qin...Cultivator Qin Nan, please calm down. Our Nine Streams Sect will never harm you. I will contact the patriarch now."
The elder who first arrived immediately reacted and forced a smile on his face before he sent out messages to several people.
In less than three breaths, the auras that just arose immediately disappeared as if an agreement was made between them.
Either in the Canglan Continent, or here in the Sky Wheel Realm, or even in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there existed various kinds of rules, but once you were strong enough, you could simply disregard them all.
"That was my bad, I stumbled into my enemy just then, so I totally forgot about the rules here in the Nine Streams Sect."
Qin Nan wore an apologetic face and brought his fists together.
He had been rather obedient. He would only break the rules when someone tried to take advantage of him.
"Don't mind, it's nothing serious. Are you heading to Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm? If so, I'll send someone over to drive the vessel at once."
The elder immediately waved his hand.
"Thanks for your help."
Qin Nan nodded and returned to the Immortal Vessel.
The other cultivators exchanged glances with one another. After asking Qin Nan for permission, they too returned to the vessel. A few disciples of the Nine Streams Sect quickly appeared and used a secret art to activate the vessel.
Little did Qin Nan know, after he left, the elders and disciples of the Nine Streams Sect, and the Human God young man uttered relieved sighs in their heart.
This cultivator called Qin Nan was absolutely terrifying. If they actually offended him, they might be dead by now.
After all, they did not have strong trump cards like Lu Tianji did.
Time gradually passed, half an hour later...
In the pitch-black, cold rift, the enormous Immortal Vessel supported by countless formations unleashed a strong presence to set up protection covering a distance of over a few tens of thousands of li.
It would take at least four days to arrive in Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm from the Sky Wheel Realm.
"Qin Nan, are you planning to join Empress Feiyue's faction?" asked the Blood-Eye Earth God as a sudden thought crossed his mind.
"Not quite, I was only asking her to give me a wisp of her peerless ruler aura to forge an Immortal Badge of Ascension, but she asked me to pay her a visit," Qin Nan shook his head.
The Blood-Eye Earth God laughed upon hearing this, "That's very reasonable. Senior Empress Feiyue is different than other peerless rulers. She only gives an Immortal Badge of Ascension away every ten years. Many geniuses and experts would come and compete for it, even those from other Immortal Realms."
Qin Nan was startled. All these just for an Immortal Badge of Ascension?
"Looks like there are lots of things you don't know still," The Blood-Eye Earth God immediately explained upon seeing his reaction, "In the current Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, Empress Feiyue is starting to be recognized by some experts as the strongest peerless ruler."
"The patriarchs of the three great Supreme Daoism factions of Shangxingtian, who were all Nine Heavens Supremes personally visited her to recruit her as vice patriarchs."
"In the end, she rejected all their offers. Even now, she is only an honorable elder of the Sky Taihuang Sect."
Qin Nan's emitted a golden flicker.
It turned out that the copper mirror's status in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was a lot higher than he had imagined.
"So, you are implying that she wants me to compete for the Immortal Badge of Ascension?"
Qin Nan murmured.
However, he was not displeased by it. It served as a chance for him to check out the geniuses and experts of Shangxingtian.
"By the way, Senior Blood-Eye, what are the three Supreme Daoism factions in Shangxingtian?"
Qin Nan quickly asked.
"It seems like you are quite unfamiliar with Shangxingtian too. I'll briefly explain it to you," the Blood-Eye Earth God straightened his gaze and said, "The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm has thirteen Supreme Daoism factions, and Shangxingtian alone has three."
"They are the Sky Taihuang Sect, the Sanqing Ancient Sect, and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect."
"The first one is the strongest among them. It has two Nine Heavens Supremes, while the other two only has one Nine Heavens Supreme respectively."
Upon saying this, the Blood-Eye Earth God paused for a moment before adding, "Rumors say that every Supreme Daoism has their own way of querying the Dao."
Querying the Dao was necessary to become a Nine Heavens Supreme.
"Currently in Shangxingtian, there are at least forty-nine Peerless Rulers like Empress Feiyue, and she is regarded as the strongest among them."
"On top of that, there are countless cities of various sizes, cultivation clans, etc. Shangxingtian is at least ten times bigger than a continent of the Secondary Lower Realm."
"Same applies to the forbidden places, battlegrounds, immortal mountains, etc."
Just a few sentences were able to illustrate a magnificent picture in Qin Nan's mind.
Besides, it was only the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.
In the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, there were thirty-two other Small Immortal Realms.
"This is the Nine Heavens Immortal Jade. It contains the records of every faction ruled by a Peerless Ruler in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
The Blood-Eye Earth God tossed a badge into Qin Nan's hand.
There were quite a lot of factions ruled by Peerless Rulers in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. The Nine Streams Sect and the others were able to learn the existence of the Lu Clan through the badge.
"So is there anything like a ranking for the geniuses in Shangxingtian?"
Qin Nan was more interested in the geniuses of the Nine Heavens.
Previously, when he was still in the Canglan Continent, he could learn the information about the geniuses just by looking at the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking.
"Not really, but normally we would classify them according to the Four Extremities. Only those who have mastered the Four Extremities are called a Peerless Genius."
"Alternatively, there are also the titles, core disciples, inner disciples, or outer disciples of the factions led by a Peerless Ruler."
"If anyone wants their name to spread throughout the Nine Heavens, they could only rely on their achievements."
Blood-Eye Earth God said.
"Five thousand years ago, Empress Feiyue was able to make a name for herself and was called the strongest immortal. It seems like she was only able to get the title after defeating countless geniuses."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
"Personally, I think with your talents, you can easily join a Supreme Daoism faction."
The Blood-Eye Earth God said after some thoughts.
"Why so?"
The Blood-Eye Earth God wore a stern look, "In Shangxingtian, there are countless Earth God, Heaven God, Human Immortal, or even Earth Immortals. There are also quite a number of Heaven Immortals."
"If you want to make a name, you will need an identity. If you become an inner disciple of a Supreme Daoism faction, it can save you lots of trouble."
"Of course, it also works if you become Senior Empress Feiyue's core disciple."
Qin Nan had mastered the Four Extremities and achieved the Earth God Realm. Once he acquired an Immortal Root, he had no problem becoming an inner disciple of a Supreme Daoism faction.
He might even become a core disciple!
The status of a core disciple of a Supreme Daoism faction, or a disciple of a Nine Heavens Supreme was nothing that ordinary cultivators could compare to.
"I'm not in a rush for that now. I'll consider it after I obtain an Immortal Badge of Ascension."
Qin Nan shook his head.
The Blood-Eye Earth God did not advise further. He proceeded to introduce interesting rumors and situation of the locals to Qin Nan.
He once followed the Drought Demon Heaven God, thus he knew more than the patriarch of the Luoshen Clan.
Time gradually passed. Five days later, following a loud crash, the Immortal Vessel went past the barrier of the world and arrived in Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.
