Chapter 1945 - Do You Know the Name

“Fellow seniors, you have come a long way here, we’ve prepared some immortal wines too as a treat,” the elders of the Sky Taihuang Sect said.

Disciples came in from the outside with huge jars.

The Nine Heavens Supreme began to chat with one another.

The Exceptional Geniuses of their factions would be staying at the Sky Taihuang Sect for some time, thus they had to wait until their disciples were done before leaving the place.

“You’re Supreme Longhe, right?”

Supreme Huanshen lifted his cup and transmitted his thoughts, “If I’m not mistaken, you and the others already figured out who Qin Nan’s master is among the Immortals, am I right?”

Supreme Longhe’s heart skipped a beat, yet he retained his expression and said with a smile, “Cultivator Huanshen, we are keen to learn the truth too. Is it possible for you to tell us?”

Supreme Huanshen twisted his lips and said, “You won’t fool me! Anyway, I have a message for you from my patriarch.”

“If Qin Nan’s identity as the successor of the Fifth Immortal is leaked to the other factions, there will only be thirteen Supreme Daoism factions left instead of fourteen!”

Supreme Longhe withdrew his smile and said, “Aren’t you being too unreasonable? What if Qin Nan exposes it himself? Do we have to take the blame too?”

Supreme Huanshen’s lips curled upward, “Exactly, I can only say, consider yourself unlucky. There’s one more thing too.”

“If any of you dares to cross the line before Qin Nan becomes a Nine Heavens Supreme, there will only be thirteen Supreme Daoism factions left too.”

“That’s all I have to say. If you’ll excuse me…”

Supreme Huanshene placed his cup down and talked to the elders before vanishing into thin air.

Half of the excitement that Supreme Longhe felt was gone as the look in his eyes turned icy.

Meanwhile, the third mysterious small realm in the Sky Taihuang Sect…

Qin Nan was startled when Supreme Chang Xiao brought him here.

Below their feet was a spacious, faint-purple valley where several residences were built along the edge opposite several lofty mountains with peaks above the clouds.

On top of it, every inch of the small realm was filled with wisps of an ancient aura.

The aura was similar to the three old guys whom he stumbled into before, one that surpassed the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm—the aura of the Master Realm!

“Sky Taihuang Sect indeed has a Master of Dao as I thought. It must be the same for the other Supreme Daoism factions too,” Qin Nan murmured.

As his cultivation continued to improve, allowing him to interact with cultivators in the higher realms, he had realized the true strength of the Supreme Daoism factions and the formidable factions that were ranked highly among the ancient tribes.

He used to think there were only a limited number of Nine Heavens Supremes, yet little did he know, most formidable factions had at least ten of them.

Supreme Chang Xiao brought Qin Nan into a residence.

The place was not big. It had a few ancient plants and three chessboards made of jade.

A black-haired young man was playing chess with an old man whom Qin Nan had met once in the past. The old man was Supreme Chang Xiao’s master, Daoist Qianjue, thus making him Qin Nan’s grandmaster.

“Qin Nan, you’re here.”

Daoist Qianjue placed the chess piece in his hand down and said with a smile, “Allow me to introduce—he was the patriarch of the Sky Taihuang Sect before me. Heavenly Master Shehuang, who’s also Feiyue’s honorable master.”

Qin Nan was startled. He brought his hands together and greeted, “Pleased to meet you, Senior Shehuang.”

Heavenly Master Shehuang waved his hand and said, “Qin Nan, I’m here because of three things. First, I hope you won’t hold a grudge against Lei Daoming. He only went so far because he wasn’t pleased with certain things.”

Qin Nan shook his head and said, “Senior, I understand. I’m not a narrow-minded person.”

He was feeling uncomfortable when Lei Daoming used the Great Curse on him, but the Sky Taihuang Sect had been kind to him so far. He would not treat Lei Daoming as an enemy of life and death because of how the man had treated him.

“Second, we would like to appoint you as the next Patriarch’s Envoy.”

Daoist Qianjue fondled his beard and said, “Chang Xiao will soon retire from his current role as the patriarch. Feng Hua will take his place, hence we’ll need to decide the next-in-line now.”

Supreme Chang Xiao harrumphed before he said, “Kid, you shouldn’t do anything reckless from now on. Even if you’re planning something, you should cover it up too.”

It was normal for the Exceptional Geniuses of different factions to fight one another in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm, thus it was not surprising if some Exceptional Geniuses died during the fights.

However, Qin Nan had definitely overdone it by kidnapping so many Exceptional Geniuses at once.

Qin Nan was startled. He said, “Senior, thanks for thinking so highly of me, but I’m afraid I can’t agree with the proposal.”

Heavenly Master Shehuang burst out laughing, “Qianjue, what did I say? I told you he will make the same decision as Feiyue!”

Daoist Qianjue’s lips twisted before he said, “Qin Nan, you shouldn’t reject it so soon. I know you’re keen to go to the First Immortal Realm, but it doesn’t necessarily conflict with our offer.”

He pointed at Supreme Chang Xiao and said, “Chang Xiao is a great example. He might be the patriarch, but he has spent most of his time in the First Immortal Realm. It won’t trouble you.”

Supreme Chang Xiao blushed. He retained his straight face, pretending that he did not hear the accusation.

Qin Nan said with a wry smile, “Senior, you’ve misunderstood me. I’m really not suitable to take on the role of the Patriarch’s Envoy. I will definitely bring the Sky Taihuang Sect a lot of troubles.”

He had practiced twelve Arts of Dao Seeking of different Supreme Daoism factions. Even if he tried his best to keep it a secret, it was only a matter of time until he was exposed.

When the time came, the Sky Taihuang Sect would find itself in a difficult position.

“What troubles could you bring us? You…” Supreme Chang Xiao blurted out.

However, Heavenly Master Shehuang waved his hand before Supreme Chang Xiao could finish the sentence. He said thoughtfully, “Does it have something to do with the kidnapping of the Exceptional Geniuses?”

Qin Nan nodded. Heavenly Master Shehuang muttered irresolutely for a while before he said, “Fine, we’ll discuss it at another time.”

Daoist Qianjue and Supreme Chang Xiao wanted to say something, yet they chose to keep their mouth shut following the glance from Heavenly Master Shehuang.

“As for the third reason, according to Feiyue, you are the Fifth Immortal’s successor, and you even have his soul?” Heavenly Master Shehuang said.

“That is true.”

Qin Nan unleashed the Divine Battle Spirit after a slight hesitation.

The ancient figure emerged in a blue light. A terrifying aura surged in all directions like a fierce storm.

The eyes of Heavenly Master Shehuang, Daoist Qianjue, and Supreme Chang Xiao flickered with astonishment. Even though they had long heard the rumors, it was still shocking to witness it in person.

After all, it was not just an Art of Dao Seeking or Immortal Arts left by the Ten Immortals, but one of their souls!

As Qin Nan’s cultivation continued to improve, the soul’s aura would continue to grow too, and eventually…

It would feel like the Fifth Immortal had come back to life!

A few moments later, Heavenly Master Shehuang collected his thoughts and asked, “Qin Nan, do you know the Divine God of Battle’s real name?”
