"Qin Nan, it's all thanks to you."
The Blood-Eye Earth God let out a relieved sigh and returned the Heaven-Shattering Saber.
He had no clue what the Dao glow that Qin Nan had unleashed just then was. Otherwise, he would most likely be left speechless.
"Senior Blood-Eye, I've promised to deal with Long Xuanling when I received the Drought Demon Succession. I'll surely keep my end of the promise, but aren't you supposed to tell me more about it?"
Qin Nan said sternly.
"I guess I'll need to tell you starting from Senior Drought Demon's Immortal Ascension War."
The Blood-Eye Earth God spoke after a prolonged silence.
"Senior Drought Demon Heaven God and Long Xuanling used to be sworn brothers. They once found a place of succession, allowing them to become immortals together. However, he was set up by Long Xuanling, and almost lost his life."
"Long Xuanling also kept the succession to himself."
Qin Nan's eyes immediately turned cold upon hearing this.
He hated shameless people like Long Xuanling the most, who even dared to plot against his own brother.
"I have no idea what the succession is."
"Senior Drought Demon Heaven God only told me prior to his death that once Long Xuanling achieved the Earth Immortal Realm, he will be able to utilize the full potential of the succession."
"When the time comes, he has a fifty percent chance of becoming a Peerless Ruler."
The Blood-Eye Earth God let out a sigh.
He was not trying to hide the truth, but he did not want to give Qin Nan too much pressure.
"Senior, don't worry, I'm no sacred man, but I have always kept my promises."
Qin Nan calmly said and proceeded forward.
"Thanks."
The Blood-Eye Earth God was startled, before a smile appeared on his face.
After the ambush, the two decided to conceal their presence, to prevent ordinary experts from noticing them.
A day later, the two finally arrived at the Liuhuang Heavenly River.
On the vast land ahead stood several magnificent cities emitting godly glows.
Lots of cultivators were flying toward the cities from all directions.
It also included some Heaven God Realm experts.
Meanwhile, in front of the cities was an enormous river with six different auras. It was like an enormous immortal dragon crawling on the ground.
The current surged fiercely, producing intimidating waves.
"Such a powerful Liuhuang Heavenly River."
Qin Nan's eye flickered with astonishment.
Even with his Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle, he was unable to see through the river, implying that the strength of the water had surpassed the Heaven God Realm.
"The river is incredibly powerful. The power of our flesh and Immortal Arts have no chance of entering the river. We will need to purchase the fishing rods that are specifically designed and forged for it."
The Blood-Eye Earth God said as they entered a city.
Due to the existence of the Liuhuang Heavenly River, the cities nearby were rather modern, with all kinds of supplies.
"Such a pity, the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch has already passed away. Otherwise, I wonder what kind of artifacts will he be able to forge in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm."
Qin Nan shook his head as he remembered the Treasure-Fishing Rod.
Since he arrived in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, he could no longer use the Treasure-Fishing Rod.
Sometime later, the two bought a fishing rod that was forged with pieces of the Liuhuang Rocks and a boat, before heading to the Liuhuang Heavenly River.
"So many cultivators."
Qin Nan wore an astounded look as soon as he arrived at the river.
He was too focused on the Liuhuang Heavenly River that he did not even realize there were around seven hundred cultivators either in or by the river.
Among them, there were around fifty Heaven God Realm experts.
On top of that, there were quite a number of inner disciples from factions ruled by Peerless Rulers too, each with a terrifying aura inside their bodies.
"Those three groups, are they the disciples from the three Supreme Daoism factions?"
Qin Nan's gaze immediately focused on the river.
He could see three giant boats floating on the river. They remained firm and sturdy despite the strong waves.
Each giant boat had quite a number of cultivators, each wearing a long robe with different colors and patterns.
Some of the cultivators whose robes had deeper colors and patterns had slightly stronger cultivation.
It was obvious that these cultivators were the inner disciples of the three Supreme Daoism factions.
Meanwhile, apart from the three giant boats, there was no one nearby, as no one was brave enough to fish for the Liuhuang Rocks close to them.
That alone was enough to showcase the status of the three Supreme Daoism factions in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm.
"As expected of the inner disciples of the Supreme Daoism factions, each of them had a powerful Immortal Root, and they have all mastered three of the Four Extremities. Their cultivation has also reached the Heaven God Realm."
Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart.
"Qin Nan, let's hurry up and fish, I heard that there are only a hundred Liuhuang Rocks every day."
The Blood-Eye Earth God said. Qin Nan immediately nodded and placed the boat on the river.
Fishing the Liuhuang Rocks was purely about luck. It did not matter where they were on the river. They immediately found an empty spot and started fishing.
"Got it!"
A peak Earth God was overjoyed all of a sudden. He reeled in the rod and discovered two ancient rocks emitting six different colors on the bait.
Qin Nan immediately looked into the man's direction with his Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle and detected abundant power inside the rocks.
"This guy..."
The cultivators nearby looked at the man jealously. Some even cast a cold glance at him.
There was no rule in this place either.
"Is it seriously dependent on my luck?"
Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and frowned looking at his fishing rod that had yet to show any reaction.
He never felt like he was the lucky kind.
"I should try merging the Dao glow in the bait and see if it helps."
A thought suddenly crossed Qin Nan's mind. He immediately unleashed a wisp of Dao glow.
However, the fishing rod did not react at all.
"If the Dao glow doesn't work, let's try the force of the Divine God of Battle..."
Qin Nan did not give up. He tried with the different kinds of forces he had inside his body.
However, the outcome was still the same.
"Forget it."
Qin Nan shook his head. As he was about to let his luck take over, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern in his Divine Sense suddenly emitted a faint, mysterious glow.
"What in the world..."
Qin Nan was startled.
The mysterious glow swam out of his veins like a little, intelligent snake and entered the bait.
