Chapter 2318: Surprise, Part One
The other Ruler of Dao of the s.h.i.+dao Tribe and its members were having mixed feelings. They wanted to say something, yet they could not find any word.
Qin Nan was touched too. He brought his fists together and said, "I"m impressed by your determination."
Xiang Yuan waved his hand and said, "It"s nothing, but regarding your side..."
"I"m going!"
Three voices spoke simultaneously. They were Princess Miao Miao, Jiang Bilan, and Xue Mengyao.
"Hey, Xiao Lanlan (Jiang Bilan) and Sister Mengyao, why are you fighting with me for the spot? Just let me go with Xiao Nanzi," Princess Miao Miao said.
"Princess, you should stay behind and help our husband manage the alliance since you are the first wife. How could you do something so dangerous? Let me go instead," Jiang Bilan smiled.
"Princess, Xiao Lanlan, you two aren"t going. You have to stay together for the Flower of Eternity in you to unleash their full potential. I"m the lowest in the family, so I should go instead," Xue Mengyao smiled.
"Humph, since you two consider me as Qin Nan"s First Wife, you two should listen to me," Princess Miao Miao started acting unreasonably.
"Princess, even though that"s the case..."
Jiang Bilan and Xue Mengyao were not going to give up easily either.
Qin Nan immediately had a headache. He said, "Princess, Lanlan, Mengyao, there"s no need to argue over it. There are too many uncertainties. You aren"t going anywhere."
The three women said simultaneously, "No!"
Princess Miao Miao rolled her eyes with displeasure, "Why can"t we go if you can?"
Qin Nan was left speechless. He began to ponder how he could convince the three to change their mind.
Progenitor Mingchu stepped forward and said with a smile, "You three should stop fighting for the spot. It"s not ideal for any of you to go. I"ll go instead. I would like to see how glorious the ancient era was."
The three women frowned. They were about to say something when Progenitor Mingchu added, "Besides, Qin Nan has a lot on his mind. If you go, he would be worried about your safety too. He would refrain from taking huge risks. How is he going to achieve the Heaven Highness Realm?"
Princess Miao Miao bit her lips and said, "Fine, we won"t go then."
Jiang Bilan and Xue Mengyao nodded too.
"However, Qin Nan, you must promise me that you will come back. Don"t you forget that Xiao Lanlan, Sister Feiyue, Sister Mengyao and I, and the two little a.s.sh**** are waiting for you to come back," Princess Miao Miao transmitted her voice with red eyes.
Qin Nan felt a slight pain in his heart. He nodded sternly, "Don"t worry, I"ll be back!"
Princess Miao Miao harrumphed softly and raised her chin, "Don"t you worry about us. Xiao Lanlan, Sister Mengyao, and I will achieve the Heaven Highness Realm in two years and maintain the order of the alliance."
"Perhaps when you come back, we have already defeated Cang. The three of us, oh and Sister Feiyue will be in charge of the alliance."
"As for you, you will be working for us."
Qin Nan smiled, "Sure, I"ll be your subordinate."
Heaven Highness Linghuang and the others rose to their feet and said, "Qin Nan, we will wait for your triumphant return in the Undying Cycle Mountain."
Qin Nan brought his fists together and said goodbye to them.
Everyone left after a while, except for the four who were going back to the ancient era.
Qin Nan sent a message with the Red String of Three Lifetimes on his wrist.
He had a complicated look in his eyes.
Ji Jinzi"s will must have dissipated by now, meaning that Empress Feiyue had reclaimed her will.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, come with me please."
Xiang Yuan took out a staff from his storage bag. He pointed it forward to create a water screen on the wall.
Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and went inside the wall. His surroundings changed rapidly.
Before them was an island. Various formations were active above the island, releasing pure immortal intents at it.
Rare phenomena were constantly occurring. Qin Nan counted more than ten ancient treasure lands at a quick glance, each possessing formidable energy.
Qin Nan saw the ancient altar floating on an immortal mountain. It was completely black. The Stones of Time and s.p.a.ce were glowing around it.
"Cultivator Qin Nan, there"s something I should let you know."
Xiang Yuan halted in his track and said, "Once our will goes back to the ancient era, if the person we possess died, our will would dissipate in the ancient era too, which will lead to our deaths."
"That being said, we have a huge advantage as we go back to the ancient era."
He took out two scrolls and gave them to Qin Nan and Progenitor Mingchu. He said, "Even though the ancient era was full of talented cultivators who easily surpa.s.s us, we have been collecting all kinds of information about Zhou Di, Cang, Huangfu Jue, and Ye Zhaoxian between the period of them going from the Master Realm to the Supreme Highness Realm for the past several thousand years."
"The information includes which forbidden areas are accessible, who have claimed which valuables, and who have altered their destinies. It also contains the details of the Arts of Dao Seeking the Heaven Highnesses in the past have practiced, and their weaknesses."
Qin Nan and Progenitor Mingchu"s eyes glittered.
If they could choose the period they ended up in, wouldn"t they be able to obtain various benefits and overcome the dangers through the information they had?
"Of course, the ancient battle has caused many secrets to forever disappear, so the information we collected isn"t complete."
Xiang Yuan said, "You two should remember everything in the scrolls for the next few days. h.e.s.h.eng and I will be there to recover my life force. We will activate the altar in seven days."
Qin Nan was about to nod when a faint voice in his body said, "Patriarch Xiang, let Qin Nan and Mingchu go with you, so I won"t have to keep transmitting my voice."
Xiang Yuan and Xiang h.e.s.h.eng were startled, "You are..."
Two lights appeared from Qin Nan"s body and took the shape of Zhou Xundao and Jiaye.
"Many secrets were lost after the ancient battle, but Elder Zhou and I happen to be familiar with the ancient era," Jiaye said with a smile.
