The good sign did not last for too long. When the Dao intent of the last Art of Dao Seeking was about to turn into some branches, a strong resistance appeared out of nowhere.
Qin Nan’s body sank all of a sudden as if an enormous mountain was pressing down on him. His bones began to crack loudly while the rift nearby was distorted.
“F**k me, what have you done that even the Great Dao could not tolerate?”
Doom was given a great fright.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm might not have rules set by cultivators like the Canglan Continent, but it still had its own rules too.
The path of cultivation involved breaking the rules and freeing themselves from the chains one by one.
However, Qin Nan was only a Heaven Immortal now!
How did he even provoke the Great Dao?
“The Great Dao doesn’t tolerate it? That’s a good sign!”
The flames in Qin Nan’s eyes burned vigorously.
The path of cultivation was like rowing a raft against a current. If he could reach further despite the current against him, it would make him stronger than the others.
It had always been the path he was taking!
“Break it!”
Qin Nan yelled. His blood hair drifted wildly in the wind.
The immortal force in his body was unleashed to resist the pressure.
The Great Dao seemed to be infuriated by Qin Nan’s att.i.tude. The resistance and the pressure increased significantly.
However, Qin Nan was like a stubborn rock that remained still despite the strong wind blowing at him and the strong wave splas.h.i.+ng onto him.
Buzz!
The Ownerless Heaven Pattern that had been motionless for quite some time in Divine Sense had awakened by Qin Nan’s will. It suddenly emitted rays of light while unleas.h.i.+ng a magnificent force.
The resistance and the pressure completely dissipated.
The last branch was formed on the tree too.
BANG!
Qin Nan’s aura skyrocketed, leaving cracks across the rift nearby.
“Your cultivation…”
Doom’s eyes flickered.
He could sense that Qin Nan’s aura was extremely close to reaching the Peerless Ruler Realm.
However, the immortal force in his body was only at the level of the eighth-layer Heaven Immortal Realm.
“This kid is seriously a maniac!”
Doom was unable to find an explanation to it after observing Qin Nan for a while. He eventually shook his head.
It was reasonable for the successor of the Fifth Immortal to achieve something unbelievable.
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with joy. He quickly inspected his body.
He discovered that the place where the Nine-Colored Dao Glow used to be inside his body was replaced by an enormous tree.
However, apart from the roots, the trunk and the branches had a blurred outline.
That being said, the trunk’s outline was bolder than the branches.
“Well, such a pity, I’ve only learned the general outline of the other ten Arts of Dao Seeking. If I can fully comprehend them all, this Tree of Dao will then be completed once its branches and leaves become denser.”
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
However, even Qin Nan was not aware that he had embarked on an unbelievable journey that no one had taken before.
“There’s no need to cultivate in seclusion any further. Let’s take a look at the scroll that Supreme Huanglei gave me.”
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts. He inspected the scroll with his Divine Sense.
The scroll’s content immediately caught his attention. Half an hour later, he was immersed in a great astonishment.
Similar to the ascension that was only possible in the Immortal Ancient places, the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm also had special places for the cultivators to achieve the Peerless Ruler Realm.
The first kind were the places that the Supreme Daoism factions and the ancient tribes had established together.
For example, in the Shangxingtian Small Immortal Realm, the Sky Taihuang Sect, Sanqing Ancient Sect, and the Heaven Illusionary Ancestor Sect had worked together to establish a unique small realm.

When the disciples that were qualified to achieve the Peerless Ruler Realm reached a certain number, they would open up the small realm for them. In addition to it, the cultivators from other factions were allowed to enter it too.
The reason behind it was to gather a huge crowd and enough attention. At the same time, there were all kinds of fortunate encounters at the place too.
However, Qin Nan did not consider going to one of these places.
The small realm that the Sky Taihuang Sect established still needed more than a year to be opened. Besides, the number of Peerless Geniuses and Exceptional Geniuses that went would not be that many.
Qin Nan was more interested in the second kind of places.
Currently, in some of the small immortal realms, there were lands of fortune nurtured by the Heavens and Earth. After a series of transformations, they had become a place suitable for cultivators to achieve the Peerless Ruler Realm.
Peerless Rulers and Nine Heavens Supremes were off-limits in these places. Those under the Heaven Immortal Realm were not allowed to enter either. On top of it, the place was accessible at all times.
There were around twenty-five of these places, and among them, three, in particular, caught his attention. There were the Realm of Primordial Blood in the Third Small Immortal Realm, the Righteous Heaven Palace in the Sixth Immortal Realm, and the Path of Flying G.o.d in the Nineteenth Small Immortal Realm.
The three places had been around for two thousand years. Their time of existence was not too long, and they were quite popular among the places too. The scroll mentioned that many Peerless Geniuses and Exceptional Geniuses of different factions were interested in going there.
“Kid, The Realm of Primordial Blood is a good choice for you,” Doom said.
“Why is that?” Qin Nan asked.
“That’s pretty obvious, there are more Peerless Geniuses and Exceptional Geniuses heading there. Aren’t you interested in meeting them and competing with them?” Doom said calmly.
He did not know Qin Nan for a long time, but he was already familiar with Qin Nan’s personalities.
“That’s true,” Qin Nan nodded as he made up his mind.
There was another advantage of choosing the Realm of Primordial Blood. It was very close to the Fourth Small Immortal Realm.
“I should cultivate a little more.”
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and closed his eyes.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. Another two months had pa.s.sed.
The Nine Heavens Immortal Realm was bustling lately. The Heaven-Slaying Sect was constantly on the move as one after another cultivator from the ancient times expressed their interest to join the new Supreme Daoism faction, resulting in great pressure to the other factions.
Empress Feiyue had slain three peak Nine Heavens Supremes too, shocking many cultivators. She had clearly secured the t.i.tle the Strongest Nine Heavens Supreme.
As for Qin Nan, his cultivation kept improving supported by the pure immortal force of the Land of Extraordinaries. He had reached the peak Heaven Immortal Realm, and as only one step away from becoming a Peerless Ruler.
“Qin Nan, are you really leaving? Wouldn’t I be alone then?”
Ling Lanlan wore a gloomy look.
“Don’t worry, there are many cultivators around here too. You can go and make friends with those that you find pleasing to your eyes.”
Qin Nan smiled. His figure vanished into thin air.
It was time!
