"His cultivation is only in the Earth God Realm, yet he has achieved the Dao Realm. His background is surely extraordinary..."
The illusionary figure soon calmed his thoughts. After pondering for a while, he performed several hand seals and fired immortal rays into the altar.
These immortal rays contained the stronger successions of the Forbidden Taboo Sect.
He initially did not plan to give them to Qin Nan, yet he now realized something.
This Qin Nan was most likely the disciple, or a successor of a Nine Heavens Supreme, or someone even more terrifying.
If it was as he had thought, it was very likely that Qin Nan would be able to shatter the Ancient Taboo in the future.
Besides, even if he guessed it wrong, it did not serve as a loss to him either.
As for Qin Nan, he was unaware of the decision that the man made.
He was placing his full attention on cultivating.
The pure energy in the altar completely exceeded his imagination. It had reached an utterly outstanding level.
If he were to fully unleash his will to absorb the force, his cultivation would immediately improve to the next level in just one or two days.
"I haven't saved up enough Divine Battle Force in my body. It's too early to have a breakthrough now."
Qin Nan murmured. He immediately sealed off the god force in his body with a thought.
He had learned something after fighting against the three Peerless Geniuses.
The Beast Hide Drawing was right. If he refined the Dao Jade before he achieved the Perfect Success Stage of the Dao Realm, he would be no different than those that had mastered the Four Extremities.
Normally, since he had reached the Greater Success Stage, he was supposed to defeat the three Peerless Geniuses with ease.
As such, he was not in a rush to improve his cultivation.
He was planning to accumulate the god force to the maximum capacity before merging them with the Divine Battle Force for it to evolve to a dazzling level.
With that, the damage of his arts, and his other capabilities would greatly outmatch the Peerless Geniuses.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
At that instant, several lines of ancient, mysterious fonts surged into Qin Nan's mind like a strong tide, forming manuals of mystical arts.
"Are these the Immortal Arts of the Forbidden Taboo Sect from the succession?"
Qin Nan took a closer look, and was instantly attracted by them.
There were three kinds of Immortal Arts!
The first Immortal Art was called the White-Slash Flying Spirit Art, it was a saber art.
The second Immortal Art was called the Shadow Illusionary Immortal Art, it was a movement art.
The third Immortal Art was the strongest among them. It was called the Forbidden Taboo Flesh. Learning it would allow his flesh to evolve stronger, granting him unbelievable abilities.
"The first two Immortal Arts are designed to support the third Immortal Art, to fully utilize its potential."
Qin Nan soon discovered the secret. He immediately started to comprehend the Immortal Arts without hesitation.
Time gradually passed. Half a month was gone quickly.
During this period, Little Peng Emperor, and the Little Peng Emperor, Wan Xiao had sent lots of cultivators to hunt Qin Nan down, yet they ended up going back empty-handed.
Zi Hu, the Underworld Prince, and Sword God Wu Heng used all they had to locate the gatekeeper whom they fought after they left the place, yet they had no choice but to give up after not making any progress.
What worth mentioning was, the battle in the Earth God Group grabbed lots of attention in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm. However, no one believed the gatekeeper was Qin Nan, apart from Qiu Hong.
"Forbidden Taboo Art, the coexistence of rules and ultimates. Something was missing from the Heavens and Earth, it was the Dao, it doesn't exist between the Heavens and Earth, and it isn't confined by nature..."
Qin Nan who was sitting with his legs crossed performed several hand seals with both hands.
It produced a pitch-black aura inside his Divine Sense.
The aura was the Forbidden Taboo Seal that the illusionary figure had mentioned.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan was startled.
After the Forbidden Taboo Seal appeared, it started compressing on its own and gradually turned into a small, black piece of rock with the size of a fist.
"It seems like the Immortal Art isn't as simple as refining the Forbidden Taboo Seal."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself. He continued to comprehend the Immortal Arts without overthinking it.
Five days later, the black rock with the size of a fist totally transformed. It had turned into a beating heart, emitting shocking energy ripples.
However, it seemed like the heart had some sort of a lock on it that was still not opened, preventing Qin Nan's flesh from turning into the Forbidden Taboo Flesh.
"Forget it, I'll ask the illusionary figure after I'm done here."
Qin Nan focused on the god force in his body.
After working hard over the period, he now had a hundred and fifty streams of Divine Battle Force in his body.
The god force in his body had expanded to an unimaginable level too. It kept giving him the urge to break through to the next level, but he kept withholding the urge.
"It's almost time!"
Qin Nan took a deep breath. He directed all the Divine Battle Force to merge with his god force.
Following it, a terrifying gust burst out of his body, sweeping at the hall.
On top of that, a strong absorbing force also came out of his body and absorbed the pure energy inside the altar continuously.
The strange sight lasted for five days. The situation changed tremendously when the supply of the energy in the altar was about to run out.
BANG!
A tremendous glow burst out of Qin Nan's figure.
The god force in his body rose like a giant Peng spreading its wings as it soared into the sky.
Sixth-layer Earth God Realm!
Seventh-layer Earth God Realm!
Eighth-layer Earth God Realm!
It finally slowed down after reaching the peak of the Earth God Realm.
However, it did not end there. Qin Nan could feel his eyes, his body, the Heaven-Shattering Saber, and the Crimson Golden Armor evolving as if they had received a tremendous energy.
His flesh alone was comparable to a fifth-layer Earth God Realm. The blood in his body was now a faint, purple-golden.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber and the Crimson Golden Armor had mysterious Dao runes spreading over them. Their auras were absolutely shocking.
As for his Golden Eyes of the Divine God of Battle, the pupils had turned completely golden, with a slight hint of purple glow deep inside them.
On top of that, the thing that changed the most was the god force in Qin Nan's body.
His god force no longer looked like a ceramic glaze, but it was emitting a purple-golden glow.
Previously, his god force was like godly dragons, and now, these godly dragons were wearing purple-golden armor.
"Mm?"
