Peerless Battle Spirit

A while later, in an immortal pond...

Xiang Yuan was sitting in the pond with his legs crossed. His body was absorbing the energy around him. Xiang Hesheng sat on the other side. He was constantly performing hand seals to guide formidable energy into Xiang Yuan's body.

They were both smiling even though they were busy with the recovery.

They must admit they had forgotten something important as they were too obsessed with convincing Qin Nan to join hands with them.

They had totally forgotten about the Undying Cycle Mountain and the Ownerless Heaven Pattern inside Qin Nan's body.

The spirits of these two artifacts had risen together with Zhou Di. They had been through many things.

Whether it was familiarity with the ancient era or with Cang and Ye Zhaoxian, they obviously knew better than anyone else.

With their help, if they did go back to the ancient era...

"My master, I'll start from the general situation. The ancient era is completely different from the current era. When you were still a Master of Dao in your previous life, the ancient tribes were extremely powerful, especially those ranked in the top one hundred. Each of them had authorities in the Heaven Highness Realm!"

"Both the Shidao Tribe and the Tribe of Immortal Spirits were ranked in the top ten and had several Heaven Highnesses."

"In addition to it, the Supreme Daoism factions did not exist. Back then, they were only Heaven Daoism factions! It literally meant they had at least one Heaven Highness in charge of them. There were ten Heaven Daoism factions, each ruling over a corner of the world and recruiting great talents."

"The seven Heaven Highness Clans now used to be eight Heaven Highness Clans. They had just revealed their potential back then and were slightly inferior to the Heaven Daoism factions and the ancient tribes."

"Besides them, there were various factions in the different Small Immortal Realms too. Seven of them, in particular, stood out among them. Their Patriarchs and leaders were all Heaven Highnesses. They also had a lot of disciples. However, they completely disappeared after the ancient battle," Jiaye explained. He and Zhou Xundao were seated in front of the others.

Qin Nan and Progenitor Mingchu were listening carefully.

"In the year one thousand nine hundred and eighty-fifth of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, your past life achieved the Master Realm. Less than a month later, a forbidden area called the Path

"In the year two-thousandth of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, someone called Heaven Highness Longdao in the Fifth Forbidden Area suddenly offered anyone who found an ancient pattern called the Four-Way Dragon Pattern three favors. It was actually inside the treasure vault of the Red Dragon City Mansion..."

"In the year two thousand and one of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, a great war broke out between two Heaven Daoism factions. To everyone's surprise, the Chaotic Heavens that was weaker somehow took out the Curved Swords. After that..."

Jiaye and Zhou Xundao explained everything they knew since the year one thousand nine hundred and eighty-fifth of the Sacred Heaven Calendar, whether they were going to be useful for them or not.

The four listened carefully to every word, as if they were currently in the long river of history like a spectator, watching the rise and fall of great talents and the occurrence of various incidents.

Time gradually passed. Five days had passed in no time.

Jiaye and Zhou Xundao did not stop talking.

Every piece of information they gave was extremely precious in the current era. If they were to spread, it would shake the whole Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.

The cultivators would find answers to many secrets and questions.

It was also Qin Nan's first time understanding the difficulties, storms, failures, and trials that Zhou Di, Huangfu Jue, Cang, and Ye Zhaoxian had been through before they became Supreme Highnesses.

"My master, if you did go back to the ancient era, there's something you should keep in mind."

"During that time, there's a divine object to the northernmost land of the First Immortal Realm called the Extreme Heaven Ranking! It's formed with the Origin Force just like the Undying Cycle Mountain, granting it great power."

"The Extreme Heaven Ranking has a spirit. Its ambition is to lead the cultivators of the Primary Upper Realm to a greater height. Therefore, every cultivator that achieved the Ruler Realm could take part in its trial. The ranking would also change according to their cultivation level, the outcome of battles, and quests they had completed."

"On that account, those who remained in the top one hundred for two months would be given certain benefits according to their ranks. Many Rulers of Dao have relied on the resources from the Extreme Heaven Ranking to surpass their limits and achieve the Heaven Highness Realm in the Heaven Highness Battlefield."

"There's one more thing. Zhou Di, Cang, Ye Zhaoxian, and Huangfu Jue were all ranked first for an entire year after they achieved the Heaven Highness Realm."

"The four of them then cultivated inside the Extreme Heaven Ranking for a month!"

"The single month had brought extraordinary results. Zhou Di managed to complete the seed of his Extraordinary Rules. Cang had mastered the Art of the Heavenly Emperor. Ye Zhaoxian figured out the way to control the Boulder of Time and Space, while Huangfu Jue perfected the Art of the Immortal Demon."

The four were absolutely started by the words.

Xiang Yuan and Xiang Hesheng were aware of the Extreme Heaven Ranking's existence, but they never knew it would give the cultivators so many benefits.

"Unfortunately, after the ancient battle took place, Cang tried to refine the Extreme Heaven Ranking to claim its power. The Extreme Heaven Ranking was unwilling to compromise, so Cang came up with a plan to destroy it. Otherwise, the current era wouldn't have declined so much."

Zhou Xundao let out a sigh and said, "Qin Nan, if you did go back in time, you must claim a spot on the Extreme Heaven Ranking. You will have to fight other cultivators on it to increase your rank."

Qin Nan kept it in mind.

"speaking of which, something interesting happened around the year of two thousand and five hundred. The Extreme Heaven Ranking suddenly put up a quest to look for a young girl with golden eyes, but it did not explain the details, so no one had taken it seriously."

"Thirty years later, Zhou Di coincidentally found the young girl in the Thirty-Third Small Immortal Realm, but it was too late. The young girl was already killed..."
