Chapter 1875 - The Hollow Bridge
“Qin Nan, I’ll use my immortal force to activate the Immortal Crescent Boulder. You will focus on performing the seal. Remember, its source is severely damaged, so don’t lose your focus before it completely grows into a tree.”
Doom advised in a serious tone. His enormous figure came out of the Heaven-Repairing Cauldron. He swung his claws to pour his great force into the blue boulder. It dived into the boulder like an enormous dragon.
Qin Nan immediately took out the seed of the Tree of Wonderful Fruit. He placed it in the ground half a zhang away from the boulder. After taking a deep breath, he gathered his focus and performed the Primary Spiritual Seal.
The pitch-black seed began to glow right away.
Unlike before, it seemed to be aware of its current surroundings. It unleashed a terrifying force to absorb the formidable intent within the mysterious canyon.
Its rate of absorption was insane; even Qin Nan’s Divine Battle Spirit was no match against it.
That being said, if someone from the Tribe of Immortal Spirits was performing the Soulless Seal here, it would not have the same impressive performance.
However, the Primary Spiritual Seal was different.
When the Ten Immortals were still around, the old man in the gray robe, the Ninth Immortal, was so enraged that he was willing to pay a great price to sneak into the Tribe of Immortal Spirits’ most secretive sacred ground, where he obtained the seal.
According to the rumors, the seal was related to one of the greatest secrets of the Tribe of Immortal Spirits.
Time gradually passed. After around three hours, the glowing seed suddenly shuddered and produced some crackling sounds.
Its pitch-black surface began to crack apart like a shell. A green sprout grew out from it and extended upward.
Dong!
It felt as if a huge bell had rung all of a sudden.
The whole valley was filled with extra hints of pure Dao intent.
Any cultivator that was stuck in the Mastery of the Four Extremities for a long time had at least a twenty percent chance of probing the Dao Realm if they were to cultivate here.
“The Dao intent is so remarkable when the seed has just sprouted. It’s indeed one of the Three Unique Dao.
Qin Nan was astounded, but as soon as he was distracted a little, the green sprout began to shake vigorously. It gave Qin Nan quite a great fright. He immediately put his attention on the seal.
Time calmly flowed like water.
Most of the cultivators in the middle sector had made their way to the inner sector. They were like a pack of starving wolves, waiting to pounce on any opportunity they found.
Battles of different scales took place deep inside the realm.
Some had fallen, some had risen.
Another eight hours were gone fairly quickly.
Inside the mysterious canyon, the sprout of the Tree of Wonderful Fruit had grown at a ridiculous pace under the support of the Primary Spiritual Seal and the strong immortal intent. It was now a huge tree over ten zhang tall, with dense branches and leaves all over it.
On top of it, it had an overwhelming presence too, like that of an ancient peerless sword. Even the Immortal Crescent Boulder’s presence was suppressed by it.
The entire valley was filled with a formidable Dao intent. It even applied a faint Dao glow across the ground.
If anyone was to cultivate here for a year or more, they even had a chance to achieve the lesser success stage of the Dao Realm, let alone just probing the Dao Realm.
However, not only was there no sign of joy on Qin Nan’s face, he actually had a stern look as his forehead was covered in sweat.
Despite his abundant immortal force, it was still extremely tiring for him to perform the seal for a whole day. He could sense that the Tree of Wonderful Fruit had encountered a bottleneck.
“It’s coming!”
An hour later, Qin Nan suddenly let out a deep groan. Doom, on the other hand, quickly waved his paws to withdraw the formation that he had established earlier.
The blue boulder had reclaimed its freedom. Following a buzz, the immortal force that it had accumulated poured into the Tree of Wonderful Fruit like a dam burst.
BANG!
Its branches and leaves grew rapidly. In the meantime, a strong aura surged in all directions.
Qin Nan could not afford to dodge it. He could only endure it while he continued to maintain the seal.
The situation lasted for half an hour before coming to an end. Everything in the canyon returned to calm.
The Tree of Wonderful Fruit had grown to a height of thirty zhang. Its branches and leaves had turned crystalline and attractive, giving people the urge to take a bite at them.
On top of it, Qin Nan and Doom also discovered blue fruit buds on some of the branches at the top.
“Hehe, not bad, not bad at all. Your seal is quite remarkable. At this rate, we only need ten days to make it bear some fruits. We might end up with two, or even three fruits,” Doom sounded a little excited.
Qin Nan was overjoyed too, but he did not speak. He sat on the ground and focused on recovering the immortal force he had expended.
“By the way, Qin Nan…”
Doom wore a stern look as a thought crossed his mind, “The tree has absorbed half of the Immortal Crescent Boulder’s immortal force. The rest of the immortal force isn’t enough anymore.”
“You will have to find another Land of Treasure, and if possible, it must be more impressive than this Immortal Crescent Boulder. Otherwise, we’ll have to find another place again.”
Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open. He asked, “What about the tree?”
The Tree of Wonderful Fruit was able to grow continuously mainly because of the Primary Spiritual Seal.
Doom said, “It will be fine. The seed has now grown into a tree. It doesn’t matter if you’re gone for a day. I’ll stay here and keep feeding it with immortal force.”
Qin Nan agreed to it. He continued to recover his energy. When he was done resting, he told Doom before leaving the mysterious canyon.
The twenty-eight beasts had done a great job. They would drive any cultivator within ten thousand li of the golden door away, let alone giving anyone the chance to approach it.
“Well done, I’ll let you all cultivate in the valley if you can keep it up.”
Qin Nan smiled and headed southeast.
The battles in the inner sector had intensified. He had seen lots of traces of battles between peak Heaven Immortals when he had only flown for a thousand breaths.
“It’s not going to be easy to find a place that meets our requirements…”
Qin Nan frowned half an hour later.
They were able to find the Immortal Crescent Boulder with a certain level of luck. If he continued to search around in the same way, he had no idea how long it would take for him to find the next place.
Qin Nan thought for a moment and glanced around him. He noticed that the sky in the northwest had various kinds of immortal glows and rare phenomena.
He quickly changed his direction and headed northwest. He came to a stop when he was approaching the area and sat down under a tree.
The next hour, many cultivators had flown past him, but he remained still until the fifth group of people showed up. He went to intercept them.
“How dare you block our path?”
In front of Qin Nan were five young men and a beautiful woman. Their presence was different from ordinary cultivators. They were from the ancient tribes.
“Tell me, why are so many people heading this way?” Qin Nan asked calmly.
He flicked his finger and emitted a wisp of saber intent slashing at the rift.
The group of five was astounded. The saber intent was utterly powerful. They would have no chance of resisting it if it was aiming at them.
“Senior, we don’t know much, we only know that something like a bridge has appeared. All the experts of our tribes are making their way over…” the young man leading the group said after calming his thoughts.
“Swear an Immortal Demon Oath to prove you’re not lying to me.”
The young man immediately followed Qin Nan’s instruction. Qin Nan expressed his gratitude before flying in another direction.
