Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1747 - The Might of the Heaven-Shattering Saber

Using an eye-technique to inspect a person was indeed not that polite in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

“How did someone like you even become a core disciple?” the young man with fiery purple eyes mocked.

“Forget it, don’t ever do it again.”

The glamorous middle-aged woman in a white dress frowned, but she did not lose her temper.

“Sorry, I’m really sorry…”

Qin Nan wore a wry smile. He had the urge to inspect everything he saw for the first time with his eye-technique. It was not really a good habit.

The young man with fiery purple eyes twisted his lips and remained quiet, as if he did not want to waste his time further.

Time gradually passed. The people in the line took turns to show their possessions to Elder Lin so he could evaluate their worth.

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with astonishment when he saw a bronze cauldron.

He could sense a Dao Intent as formidable as an ocean from the cauldron. It had greatly surpassed the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm, and was almost reaching the Perfect Stage.

The young man with fiery purple eyes took out a strange flower that was seemingly refined with the flames of the stars. It possessed a remarkable fiery energy. The Dao-Melting Immortal Flames inside Qin Nan’s body shuddered after feeling its presence.

The woman in a white dress took out an ancient stone that was smooth like jade. The stone seemed to have sealed thousands of ancient savage beasts inside it. He kept hearing intimidating roars from it despite the seal that was in place.

“Alright, it’s your turn.”

Elder Lin waved his hand.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, please show the elder the greatest piece of treasure you have. The higher the world that you can enter, the easier it is for you to obtain the information related to Immortal Blessing resources, successions of Nine Heavens Supremes, or Blessed Immortal Land,” Xu San reminded by transmitting his voice.

“Got it.”

Qin Nan nodded. He let out a groan as his right arm exploded and transformed into the Heaven-Shattering Saber with an icy luster on its surface.

He did not have much on him. He could not afford to show the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, and he had yet to refine the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. He was worried that the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron was not impressive enough.

The young man with fiery purple eyes, the woman in a white dress, and the rest of the crowd did not expect Qin Nan’s right arm to be an immortal saber. Their eyes flickered with a hint of astonishment and curiosity.

“A right arm that turns into a saber? Interesting, it seems like a master has forged the saber with his life. The material is impressive too, with an outstanding will, but the method that was used to refine it is subpar…”

Several red dots surfaced on Elder Lin’s eyes while his hands emitted a faint white light as he slid them across the Heaven-Shattering Saber with a calm expression.

Qin Nan nodded. Elder Lin’s eye-technique was remarkable.

A few moments later, Elder Lin withdrew his gaze and said calmly, “The saber doesn’t have a spirit, nor does it have any sign of Dao Intent. It’s only average, it will only allow you to enter the fifth space…”

The woman in a white dress and the others were stunned.

Everyone had shown their best possession which had allowed them to enter the seventh, or even the eighth space.

None of them was told to enter the sixth space, let alone the fifth space.

“It seems like you weren’t doing that well in the Sky Taihuang Sect,” the young man with fiery purple eyes said disdainfully.

He had assumed Qin Nan to be the son of a Nine Heavens Supreme who was barely talented enough to become a core disciple, which was the only reason why he was being evaluated here with them.

Qin Nan frowned.

Did Elder Lin just say the Heaven-Shattering Saber was just…average?

However, before he could speak, before Elder Lin could finish his sentence, the Heaven-Shattering Saber suddenly buzzed and emitted a terrifying saber intent out of nowhere. It soared into the sky and stirred a great storm.

“This…”

Elder Lin, the young man with fiery purple eyes, the woman in a white dress, and the rest of the crowd were astounded.

“Such formidable saber intent!”

“Is that immortal saber a Dao Weapon?”

“It must be! Otherwise, how could it possess such formidable power!?”

The will had even attracted the attention of most cultivators on the dojo.

“How could it possess such a terrifying saber intent?”

Elder Lin murmured. He spat out a drop of blood upon collecting his thoughts and executed a forbidden art. The white light his hands were emitting turned golden.

His face was gradually filled with surprise and even greater astonishment.

“Who would have thought, I was a fool, I wasn’t able to recognize its power! The saber is made of a part of a Nine Heavens Supreme’s body as it contains the will of the Nine Heavens Supreme!”

“As such, the strength of the saber will continue to grow, but why does it not have a spirit? Why does it not have a hint of Dao Intent?”

Elder Lin frowned. He was having difficulties understanding the situation.

Qin Nan slightly nodded. It seemed like Elder Lin was not as ignorant as he thought. However, the Heaven-Shattering Saber was not made of a part of a Nine Heavens Supreme’ body, but the right arm of the Divine God of Battle!”

“Elder Lin, may I know which space I’m allowed to enter based on the saber’s worth?” Qin Nan interrupted.

“This saber’s value…is immeasurable!”

Elder Lin hesitantly handed the Heaven-Shattering Saber back to Qin Nan and said, “You can easily enter the ninth space with it.”

“The ninth space?”

The young man with fiery purple eyes, the woman in a white dress, and the others were astounded once again. They were well aware of the value of the saber if it was enough to allow someone to enter the ninth space.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, this is the badge that will grant you access to the ninth space. You can enter it through the teleportation formation.”

Xu San immediately walked up to Qin Nan and pointed at a teleportation formation, “Of course, it’s only valid if you haven’t sold or lost the saber.”

It was impossible to count the number of cultivators that visited the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda every day, let alone knowing how many precious possessions everyone had.

The cultivators could be lying about their possessions.

As such, the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda came up with the evaluation process to avoid spending too much resources and manpower.

“Mm, Senior Blood-Eye, let’s go.”

Qin Nan gave the others a smile and headed for the teleportation formation. He activated the badge and disappeared.

“Was he trying to be a showoff? It’s just a saber!”

The young man with fiery purple eyes snapped. He then recalled, “Isn’t big brother a saber artist too? If he knew there’s a saber like that, he’s surely going to…”

The flames in his eyes flickered upon having the thought.

Meanwhile, Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal arrived in the ninth space a few moments later.

They glanced ahead and saw a spacious meandering path floating in the sky like an ancient blue dragon.

Both sides of the path had all kinds of immortal palaces floating around.

The path was crowded with people, but each person was shrouded by a unique force like a white mist, making it impossible for the others to see their true appearance.

However, it was still possible to sense one another’s auras.

Qin Nan glanced ahead at the cultivators and discovered most of them were Earth Immortals and above. Two, in particular, were Peerless Rulers.

On top of it, the presence of Qi in the space was absolutely terrifying. It was five times stronger than the presence of Qi in the Fourth Small Immortal World.

“Such a strong presence of Qi! I believe I can reach the Earth Immortal Realm by cultivating here for two months…”

The Blood-Eye Human Immortal took a deep breath.

“You are always welcomed to cultivate here, as long as your possessions are valuable enough. You can even stay for two hundred years if you wish.”

A voice appeared beside them, followed by a middle-aged man who was showing his true appearance instead of concealing it behind the white mist. He approached them with a smile and said, “I’m Xu Lai, I hope my son has been treating you well just then.”

The Blood-Eye Human Immortal was taken by surprise. He blurted out, “I didn’t really have anything on me.”

Even though he did have a private collection, he knew it was nothing worth mentioning in the eyes of the others. He doubted if his collection was even enough to let him cultivate for a month or two in the ninth space.

“Senior Xu Lai, pleased to meet you. I’m Qin Nan.”

Qin Nan brought his fists together. He did not even need to use his eye-technique to sense the man before him was in the first-layer of the Heaven Immortal Realm.

“Cultivator Qin Nan, there’s no need to be so courteous to me. You are the Strongest Immortal, a man with talents that are comparable to that senior, although what happened was quite a pity.”

Xu Lai switched his tone and said with a smile, “But, nothing is impossible. Cultivator Qin Nan, are you interested in exchanging your saber with a way to reforge your Dao Foundation?”

Qin Nan shuddered upon hearing the words. The people of the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda were indeed scary. They were already trying to trade his saber when he had just arrived.

“That won’t be necessary. I’m here for three Immortal Blessing resources,” Qin Nan said.

“Oh? If that’s the case, please come with me to the Ten Thousand Hall.”

Xu Lai raised his brow and invited them to take the lead with a gesture. Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Human Immortal nodded.

They soon came to a room in the Ten Thousand Hall.

They had a better understanding of the Ninth Space with Xu Lai’s explanation along the way.

There were the Ten Thousand Hall and the Layer Hall in the Ninth Space. The Ten Thousand Hall specialized in information trading, and the Layer Hall was a platform for the cultivators to hire mercenaries.

Apart from these two halls, the other halls included the Hall of Cultivation, the Grand Hall where cultivators could comprehend Dao Arts, and a few other halls that some powerful cultivators had constructed.

There were too many kinds of them.

“Senior Xu Lai, I’m wondering if you have any information on the Eight-Eyed Yin and Yang Flower, the Immortal-Repelling Tree, and the Supreme Heart Fruit?” Qin Nan asked as soon as he sat down. He was feeling a little nervous.

Xu Lai looked at Qin Nan in the eyes. He finally spoke after a while, “Well, I do have some information about them.”
