Behind the gate was a golden altar over seven hundred zhang tall.
The altar was engraved with pitch-black words of an ancient language, each emitting a strange aura like a deep abyss that could devour oneâs soul.
The Beast Hide Drawing was floating above the altar.
âWhat do you mean by that?â Qin Nan frowned and said in a deep voice, âYou told me that Iâll be able to reforge their souls once I ascended as an Immortal.â
He never had a good impression of the Beast Hide Drawing. The Divine God of Battle also warned him to be careful around the Beast Hide Drawing.
If it wasnât for Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan, he would not be willing to have anything to do with it.
âOf course Iâm telling you the truth.â
The Beast Hide Drawing laughed pleasantly, âAs a matter of fact, I always have the method to rebuild their souls.â
âIf you want it, you will have to exchange the purple crystal in your Divine Sense for it.â
Qin Nan was startled. The look in his eyes turned cold.
It turned out that the Beast Hide Drawing had been tricking him. It had only asked him to ascend as an immortal because it was after the purple crystal.
âHehe, donât look at me like that.â
A human figure appeared above the Beast Hide Drawing. Even though it was illusionary, Qin Nan could still tell the man was wearing a mocking grin, âI believe you must have noticed something after you ascended as an immortal. Your background isnât as simple as it seems.â
âI wouldnât mind telling you, the thing in your Divine Sense is something that your past life has left for you. Youâll obtain something terrifying once you refined it.â
Qin Nan was startled.
His background isnât as simple as it seems?
Something left by his past life?
Didnât Empress Feiyue tell him that he had already gone through ten cycles of reincarnation, meaning that he had gone back to square one?
Why would he still have a past life?
Qin Nan immediately recalled the figure sitting on the throne toward the end of the galaxy.
Could the figure be his past life?
âYou think Iâve tricked you, but thatâs not the case. I didnât force you to do anything. The choice is still in your hands.â
The illusionary figure gloated, âYou can choose to refine the Purple Crystal. Once you are done refining it, you will rise again and easily dominate the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!â
âThe Peerless Geniuses, the Peerless Rulers, the Nine Heavens Supremes, or even those that are stronger will become just a bunch of clowns for you.â
He paused for a while as the grin on his face widened.
âOf course, the two women would be dead completely with no chance of being resurrected. However, if you choose to give me the purple crystal, Iâll tell you how you can save them.â
A strong gust of wind blew above the ancient altar out of nowhere.
Qin Nan began to tremble.
He had always been curious why the Divine God of Battle had chosen him out of everyone else. He wanted to know what the Divine God of Battleâs true name was, and what the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was.
These questions were clearly related to his past life.
He would find the answers once he refined the purple crystal.
However, none of them was as important as Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan.
He was trembling because he was infuriated when he realized the Beast Hide Drawing had been playing him like a fiddle all along!
âThatâs enough, Iâll give you the purple crystal in exchange for the way to bring them back to life. You better not lie to me!â
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and said coldly.
âHAHAHA!â
The illusionary figure burst out laughing upon hearing Qin Nanâs response.
âHow ridiculous! How ridiculous! You are handing over something so precious just to save the lives of two insignificant women!â
âI wasnât wrong about you, I have never been. You were never worthy of it!â
âThe Divine God of Battle even called you his master, Iâve warned him about it, but he fell out with me instead!â
âThat plan in the past, that planâ¦â
âIt seems like Iâll be the one finishing it instead!â
It felt as if the man was venting the grievance he had been nursing over ten thousand years within the instant. His voice echoed across the place like terrifying claps of thunder.
The altar shook vigorously. Even the mountains outside the gate were trembling and cracking.
The beasts with outstanding cultivation lied still on the ground in fear while crying out. They seemed to be begging for mercy.
Even Qin Nan was greatly affected by the impact. He groaned as a line of blood ran down his lips.
âGive it to me, you are no worthy to hold onto it!â
The illusionary figure stopped laughing. He looked t Qin Nan coldly.
A strange giant hand with glitters of the stars suddenly appeared in the air. It reached for the purple crystal in Qin Nanâs Divine Sense.
Buzz!
The purple crystal reacted vigorously as if it could tell what was happening. It rooted itself like a tree as it was unwilling to depart from Qin Nanâs Divine Sense.
âHeâs not worthy of you!â
The illusionary man groaned as he forcibly suppressed the purple crystalâs aura and dragged it out of Qin Nanâs Divine Sense.
Qin Nanâs eyes widened while his face turned pale.
In that particular moment, it felt as if his soul had been forcibly dragged out of his flesh. He felt indescribably empty.
âVery well, too bad the Divine God of Battle has been cautious around me. I wonder where heâs hiding the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.â
The illusionary figure murmured. He looked down at Qin Nan as his voice gradually turned calm too, âDonât you worry, Iâll give you what Iâve promised.â
A gray-white scroll appeared out of nowhere and landed beside Qin Nan.
âThe altar that the scroll is referring to is the one right here. Iâve already built it for you. The beasts will protect you too. Consider it as a favor for the help youâve provided.â
Qin Nan was turning a deaf ear to it. After recovering some of his energy, he clenched the scroll in his fist and let out a relieved sigh.
He could finally save Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilanâs lives.
The illusionary manâs eyes flickered with disdain, âFourth brother has nullified a great danger for you even if it meant placing his life at risk. You shouldnât let him down.â
âYou better try your best to live. Itâs best if you donât die.â
âWhen the plan succeeds, Iâll make an exception and let you ascend the Undying Cycle Mountain, so you will see the true Immortal Realm.â
The illusionary figure vanished after finishing the sentence. The Beast Hide Drawing disappeared too.
