Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1764 - Master Yuanji

After Qin Nan and his crew returned to the place filled with debris, in less than fifty breaths’ time, several figures with shocking auras arrived.

Qin Nan and the others lifted their gaze and saw several Peerless Rulers and cultivators showing up beside Immortal Emperor Jiangjue. They were from formidable factions including the Extreme Living Gate, the Nongyan Tribe, the Wengu Tribe, and the Wu’e Tribe.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan’s attention was attracted by three Peerless Rulers.

One of them was a middle-aged man with a fierce look and a strange unibrow. His figure was surrounded by wisps of snowy-white flames. The flames kept erupting and dissipating.

It felt bone-chilling, but at the same time, it also contained a terrifying heat.

The other two were women. One was curvy and mature, while the other had an icy temperament that felt unapproachable. They were from the Wengu Tribe and the Wu’e Tribe respectively.

On top of it, the character ‘古’ (Primordial) on the mature woman’s forehead had a faint purple glow, while the disastrous aura that the other icy woman was emitting had an indescribable obscure feeling.

“Tsk tsk, those three are the same as Immortal Emperor Jiangjue, they have all reached the peak Peerless Ruler Realm. The guy from the Nongyan Tribe is called Immortal Emperor Zhugang. His flame is ranked seventh in the Nongyan Tribe, the Icy Abstruse Flame. The women are Immortal Emperor Guqing, and Immortal Emperor Qingli, they…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor smacked his lips and explained the background of the Peerless Rulers.

Qin Nan came to a realization after hearing it.

The Nongyan Tribe had the Ten Great Flames.

The Wengu Tribe had four different colors of the character ‘古’ on their foreheads; they were green, red, purple, and gold.

The Wu’e Tribe’s people were ranked based on their serenity; the Third Serene, Sixth Serene, Ninth Serene, and Matchless Serene.

Their ranks were similar to the grades of the Martial Spirits in Canglan Continent. The higher the ranks, the greater the talents, cultivation, and lineage of the cultivators.

Meanwhile, two other groups of people arrived.

Their leaders were also Peerless Rulers. Their outfits were clearly distinctive too; the one ahead was wearing a white robe with nine clouds, while the one behind was wearing a black robe with an island on it.

The black and white served as a great contrast.

“HAHA. it’s…”

Immortal Emperor Jiangjue who was busy chatting with the other Peerless Rulers took the initiative to approach them passionately.

Qin Nan and his crew glanced at the groups of cultivators too.

Qin Nan immediately noticed a familiar figure among the cultivators in white robes. It was Xu Lai whom he had a fight with recently. action

Xu Lai did not greet Qin Nan when he saw him. He simply ignored him.

Even though he had learned the reason behind the Forbidden Talisman, he still held a grudge against Qin Nan for ‘blackmailing’ him.

“It’s the people from the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and the Emperors Ancient Island. No wonder they are able to come a few hours earlier…”

The Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor harrumphed.

The Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and the Emperors Ancient Island had sent some of their representatives to the Eastern Realm. It went without saying they had other teleportation formations.

The Eastern Realm had shown unusual behaviors. It went without saying that the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and the Emperors Ancient Island would know about the strange Blessed Immortal Land considering their ability to collect information.

Therefore, the Ten Thousand Layer Immortal Pagoda and the Emperors Ancient Island must have notified other factions such as the Extreme Living Gate and teamed up with them, thus they had all shown up so quickly.

“People of the Emperors Ancient Island?”

A thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind.

He was quite intrigued by the faction that only allowed Heaven Immortals to enter.

“Mm?”

Qin Nan’s eyes suddenly flickered with astonishment.

Among the cultivators of the Emperors Ancient Island was a young man similar to his age. He had short black hair and a pair of sharp brows. His facial features were distinctive, and his cultivation was in the eighth-layer Earth Immortal Realm. He had also achieved the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm.

His body was faintly emitting an obscure demon intent.

The demon intent felt ancient and mysterious. It would make people palpitate in fear.

“So you are Qin Nan? I heard that you’ve reforged your Dao Foundation?”

The young man noticed someone was watching him. He grinned when he realized it was Qin Nan. He started approaching Qin Nan while speaking proudly.

It immediately attracted the attention of the crowd, and many of the Peerless Rulers.

Although the people that just arrived had placed their attention on Qin Nan, they were only watching him secretly instead of approaching him.

“Allow me to introduce myself, I’m Xiao Yiyu, a core elder of the Emperors Ancient Island. If we are allowed to use violence once we entered the palace, I hope you won’t let me down by then.”

Xiao Yiyu glanced at Qin Nan. He turned and left after finishing the sentence without waiting for Qin Nan’s response.

“A core elder?”

“He’s already a core elder of the Emperors Ancient Island at such a young age?”

The cultivators nearby were astounded.

They clearly knew the significance of the role of a core elder from the Emperors Ancient Island.

Most importantly, Xiao Yiyu was only an eighth-layer Earth Immortal Realm and he was so young. The fact that he was already a core elder indicated his background was extremely formidable.

“AH! Someone was a step earlier than me. Cultivator Qin Nan, pleased to meet you.”

An upset voice appeared. Following it, a plump, squinting man dressed in a messy kasaya whose head was mostly bald apart from a little ponytail came up to Qin Nan with a sincere smile.

“This…”

The old monk in a gray outfit, Jiu Jie, and the monks of the Ancient Bodhi Temple were stunned.

Why was he here?

“Is he a monk?”

Many among the crowd were astounded.

They had never seen such a strange monk.

“You are…”

Qin Nan was stunned too.

“Ugh, did I forget to introduce myself? Fine, I’ll introduce myself first. I’m Yuanji, people call me Little Monk Yuanji, I’m a disciple of the Ancient Bodhi Temple,” Yuanji said with squinted eyes.

“Yuanji?”

Qin Nan, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others thought they had heard it wrong.

Even though they were not that familiar with Buddhism, they all knew the word “yuanji’ was usually to describe the old monks who passed away after reaching the end of their lifespan.

In other words, the word basically meant dying and passing away.

Why would the strange-looking plump monk come up with such a ‘ill-omened’ title for himself?

“Could he be…the Exceptional Genius, Yuanji?”

“A messy appearance, strange behaviors, plump physique, it’s really him!”

The crowd was astounded, especially the Human Immortals.

Normally, it was extremely rare to see an Exceptional Genius.

“An Exceptional Genius?”

Qin Nan, the Eight Brilliance Demon Emperor, and the others were stunned.

The people that mastered the Greater Success Stage of the Dao Realm while their cultivation had surpassed the Human Immortal Realm but still below the Peerless Ruler Realm were called Exceptional Geniuses.

Qin Nan was an Exceptional Genius, yet he did not expect the strange monk in front of him was one too.

“Hehe…”

Xiu Shenliang chuckled.

The people immediately realized the man was about to utter his sarcastic remarks again.
