Chapter 1542 - The Ascension Dojo
Qin Nan soon gained a firm foothold and scanned the surroundings.
He soon discovered that he was standing on an over ten thousand zhang long ancient dojo covered in golden rays.
The presence of the dojo was rather unique, as if it did not belong in this place. Any powerful force was unable to destroy it.
It was called the Ascension Dojo, nurtured by the Great Dao of the Heavens and Earth. It could be found in the various worlds in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. There were a few hundred of them, specifically used to welcome the cultivators who had ascended from the Secondary Lower Realm.
On top of that, there were several hundred figures not far away from the dojo. The crowd mainly consisted of Martial G.o.ds, Martial Monarchs, and Martial Progenitors. Only a few tens of them were around sixth-layer Human G.o.ds.
Qin Nan immediately came to a realization.
Every time a cultivator ascended from the Secondary Lower Realm, rare phenomena would take place at the Ascension Dojos.
The number of rare phenomena was directly proportional to the number of cultivators.
Besides, the cultivators who ascended from the Secondary Lower Realm usually had outstanding talents and determination, thus various factions would send their representatives to recruit them.
Most of the time, they would approach the cultivators in a friendly manner.
After all, these factions were not the reputable factions in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm. Even their patriarchs were only in the Earth G.o.d Realm.
"What"s going on?"
"Judging from the rare phenomena, there must be at least twenty-three people, why is there only one?"
The Human G.o.d Realm experts were startled when they saw Qin Nan all by himself.
"Fellow cultivator, did something happen along the journey?"
A blue-haired old man asked in a friendly voice.
They initially thought there were quite a lot of cultivators ascending to the Nine Heavens, thus they purposely came all the way from their respective worlds. As such, they were eager to find out the truth.
"Senior, nothing happened on my way here."
Qin Nan brought his fists together.
It went without saying that it was unwise to let them know that the Ancient Taboo had interfered and killed many cultivators who were ascending to the Nine Heavens.
The Human G.o.d Realm experts frowned.
They did not believe a single word that Qin Nan said, yet they had no other way to learn the truth.
As they were about to recruit Qin Nan, a middle-aged man in a robe with a few scars on his face uttered a hollow laugh.
"Kid, who do you think we are? Stop trying to trick us, you better behave yourself. You must explain what happened to us now."
The patriarch had demanded him to recruit at least five people from the group of cultivators that ascended. Otherwise, he would be punished severely.
However, only one person showed up. He would find himself in a troublesome spot if he returned empty-handed, thus he had to find out what happened.
As such, he was not too friendly to Qin Nan.
If he was being too friendly, the person would be reluctant to tell the truth.
"I"ve spoken the truth. On top of that, you should apologize to me at once."
Qin Nan"s eyes turned cold.
Even though he had become the strongest cultivator of the Canglan Continent and successfully destroyed the South-Heaven Gate, G.o.d Ranking, and Monarch Ranking, his temper was still the same.
He was never the kind that would back off from a conflict to avoid it.
"You"re asking me to apologize to you?"
"You must be quite confident, but you should know that you"re currently in the Yunchen Realm, and I am the elder of one of the two greatest factions, the Luoshen Clan!"
The middle-aged man unleashed a murderous aura, "I"ll give you one more chance. If you don"t answer my question honestly, I will show you no mercy!"
The people of the other factions immediately decided not to recruit Qin Nan.
They were unwilling to offend the Luoshen Clan for a mere potential disciple.
"You?"
Qin Nan totally disregarded the warning.
"You are asking for your death!"
The middle-aged man was immediately enraged by Qin Nan"s att.i.tude. He stomped the ground and unleashed his G.o.d force, summoning wind, fire, and lightning on his palms.
The man was a sixth-layer Human G.o.d. Even though he did not attack with his full strength, it was still enough to leave a cultivator who had just ranked up to the Human G.o.d Realm in serious injuries.
"I have lots of ways to torture you..."
The middle-aged man thought.
"The kid is done for."
The other Human G.o.d Realm experts shook their heads.
In the nick of time, Qin Nan"s eyes flickered murderously. He threw a punch forward at lightning speed without hesitation.
BANG!
A strong might lunged forward and shattered the wind, fire, and lightning into pieces.
"How is this..."
The middle-aged man"s eyes widened. His face was full of astonishment as he sensed a great danger. However, before he could react, his figure was devoured by the might.
"Elder!"
The disciples of the Luoshen Clan were enraged.
"This..."
The Human G.o.d Realm experts of the other factions were astounded. They did not dare to believe their eyes.
How could a cultivator who had just ascended possess such shocking strength? Did he really just shatter a sixth-layer Human G.o.d into pieces with a single punch?
They had seen lots of talented cultivators who ascended, yet they could at most stand a chance against a fourth-layer Human G.o.d.
"How dare you kill our elder? The Luoshen Clan will not forgive you easily!"
A peak Martial G.o.d Realm disciple of the Luoshen Clan quickly reacted and snapped, before transmitting a message describing the whole incident back to his clan.
"Is that so?"
Qin Nan remained expressionless. He killed the disciple with a single punch once again. The icy aura lingering in the air sent a chill down the spines of the other disciples. They did not dare to make a sound
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d, I swear I will come and take your head no matter where you escape to!"
A furious voice exploded deep inside the rift.
The patriarch of the Luoshen Clan was startled as a sixth-layer Human G.o.d Realm elder had fallen.
"Cultivator, you are in a huge mess! Why don"t you join our Lingxu Sect, not only will you become an elder, we"ll also guarantee your safety..."
"Cultivator, don"t go to the Lingxu Sect, come to our Yuquan Sect! Our patriarch is a peak Earth G.o.d, and on top of that..."
"Cultivator, we..."
The rest of the Human G.o.d Realm experts were overjoyed after witnessing what happened. They quickly uttered their invitations.
The person"s cultivation was at least in the eighth or ninth-layer of the Human G.o.d Realm. With enough resources, he had a great chance at becoming a Heaven G.o.d Realm expert.
He could even proceed to the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm to ascend as an immortal.
Besides, he was currently threatened by the Luoshen Clan. It served as a great opportunity for them to recruit the cultivator.
"No need for that."
Qin Nan had initially planned to join a faction to help him learn more about the Nine Heavens. However, he did not have a good impression of the people around him. He rejected all the offers and glanced at a disciple of the Luoshen Clan and asked coldly.
"Where is your sect?"
