Chapter 1993 - The Hidden Ancient City
Every throne was twenty zhang tall and thirteen zhang wide. They seemed illusionary and real at times while emitting an imperious aura, as if each of them could easily conquer the scene.
“What’s happening?”
“Where did thrones come from?”
The cultivators on the island, including those cultivating above the Supreme Blood Altar were startled. Everyone was confused.
They had never heard of any thrones showing up at the Supreme Blood Altar over the past few thousand years.
Qin Nan lifted his gaze. Several thoughts crossed his mind.
“I should go and take a look!”
He withdrew the Flower of Eternity and turned into a blue ray heading for the first throne on the right. Right had always been the dominant side.
“Let’s head over too!”
The rest of the cultivators collected their thoughts. They too performed hand seals and turned into various rays of light flying into the sky.
Something unusual was happening at the Supreme Blood Altar. It might turn out to be a great fortunate encounter!
That being said, there was a chance for it to be a deadly trap too.
However, it was definitely worth the risk. If it was actually a fortunate encounter, the benefits were going to be shocking. It might even provide them with a chance to alter their destiny.
Qin Nan was the first to reach the first throne. The moment he landed on it, a strange feeling rose inside him as if he was now a peerless emperor. Every cultivator no longer stood a chance against him.
“Cultivator Qin Nan, I’ve long admired you. Please show me what you got!”
An Exceptional Genius from an ancient tribe appeared in front of Qin Nan. He was holding an ancient spear with a sharp glow, as if it was capable of piercing through everything.
However, before Qin Nan could react, a loud crash occurred. The glow of the spear halted around ten zhang away from the throne. It could not advance any further, as if it was stopped by a huge mountain.
“No one can reach the thrones after they are claimed!”
The other cultivators wore passionate looks after realizing it. The competition between them turned even fiercer, resulting in a series of deafening explosions.
Even though the rule related to the Supreme Blood Altar had been passed down for a few thousand years, it was not forcibly implemented. Therefore, there was still a potential danger for someone’s enemies to strike while they were comprehending on the Supreme Blood Altar.
However, the thrones were different.
The Exceptional Genius with a spear twisted his lips. He was a little disappointed. Qin Nan smiled at him and said, “It’s fine, we can do it sometime else.”
The Exceptional Genius nodded. He brought his fists together and left.
The rest of the cultivators no longer placed their attention on Qin Nan.
“How convenient,” Qin Nan murmured.
He began to inspect the throne.
The throne was perfectly still since he sat on it. It did not show any reaction. However, the lines on it seemed to be depicting something.
Qin Nan did not discover anything useful after inspecting the throne for some time. He decided to sit with his legs crossed and closed his eyes while unleashing his will.
Dong!
The chime of a bell echoed in his Divine Sense.
A scene appeared in his Divine Sense. It consisted of a vast redness and an unimaginable ancient city floating amid it without budging.
However, the scene was extremely blurred, as if a veil stood between him and the city, preventing him from taking a clearer look.
“Sixteen thrones represent sixteen successions! There are two paths in front of you, with six rounds in total. Will you pick the path to the left or the path to the right? Each path leads you to a different outcome, and it is all based on the primordial rules…”
A loud voice entered Qin Nan’s mind.
Qin Nan frowned. The Supreme Blood Altar was hiding sixteen successions?
Whoosh!
At that instant, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern in Qin Nan’s Divine Sense suddenly unleashed a chaotic glow as if it had just woken up. The light entered his mind and headed toward the city.
It felt as if time had frozen.
Everything in the scene gradually cleared up. Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with astonishment too.
More than a hundred statues of dragons, phoenixes, and other beasts stood on the towering walls, each with a terrifying aura capable of destroying the Heavens and Earth.
The statues were not carved by artisans, but refined with living creatures. Their cultivation had most likely reached the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm when they were still alive!
A few hundred powerful beasts in the Nine Heavens Supreme Realm were used to build the walls. How insane was it?
Qin Nan’s heart suddenly rippled.
It felt long-awaited, familiar—his heart was suddenly filled with mixed feelings.
He also sensed something that belonged to him was inside the terrifying city.
“Is the drop of blood in there?”
Qin Nan took a deep breath after collecting his thoughts.
For some reason, he was having a hard time describing his current emotion, just like when he first discovered the left eye of the Divine God of Battle.
“My master, use…your full will…to observe the table…at the center of the city…to summon…the city…from the Supreme Blood Altar…”
The voice of the Ownerless Heaven Pattern’s spirit sounded. The Ownerless Heaven Pattern was glowing continuously as it merged with the illusionary scene in his mind.
“Observe the tablet in the city?”
Qin Nan quickly calmed his thoughts. He gathered his will and focus while staring at the center of the city.
He did find a tablet in the middle of the city.
On it wrote several huge words.
Capital of Future!
“Capital of Future? Is it referring to my future life? Did my past life already predict this when he left the drop of blood here?” Qin Nan thought.
He did not overthink it. He directed his will toward the tablet instead.
He immediately entered a mystical state.
It felt like he had arrived on a flight of stairs. He kept climbing the stairs, and as he reached the top, the seals and binds entrapping him completely vanished.
“Interesting.”
Empress Feiyue in the Void Heaven Realm halted in her track. She was able to sense the state Qin Nan was currently in through the Red String of Three Lifetimes.
She had completely ignored the Masters of Dao that were sneakily following her since Qin Nan reached the Supreme Blood Altar. She had been observing him carefully.
Qin Nan knew Empress Feiyue was aware of everything he was going through, but he had no idea that the mysterious demon intent in his heart had left his body.
Just like before, it took the shape of a snake and straightened its body. Its illusionary eyes seemed to have merge with Qin Nan’s consciousness. It too was able to see the terrifying city and the tablet written with ‘Capital of Future’.
