Chapter 1485: Chapter 1461: Gathering of the Strong (Part 2)
Chen Nan suddenly looked up, his eyes icy cold, and the killing intent released from his gaze at that moment made the cultivator reprimanding him feel a jolt in his heart and take two steps back, his face pale.
That gaze seemed to want to cut him into a thousand pieces!
But once he reacted, a surge of anger rose in his heart. Being forced back by a mere look—it was simply a great humiliation!
However, Feng Qingcheng did not let him step forward again, just looked at Chen Nan with a cold smile: "Haha, interesting."
Afterward, she drove away the surrounding cultivators and sat down to quietly wait for the Moon God Temple to open.
With the Young Master of Divine Phoenix City beside him, Wen Jing felt immense pressure. He was just an ordinary loose cultivator, coming to the Moon God Temple only to try his luck.
Therefore, he spoke less, and Chen Nan’s ears finally quieted down.
"I hope you won’t provoke me; I’m just looking for a way to suppress Taiyin."
Chen Nan thought to himself, not wanting to be enemies with anyone. Acting a bit rashly to make others think he was difficult and quite foolish.
So no one would care about a Golden Core Realm cultivator like him.
As the time for the Moon God Temple’s secret realm to open drew near, more and more cultivators gathered outside, with at least ten Nascent Soul Realm cultivators present.
On this day, the gate tower outside the Moon God Temple suddenly emitted dazzling light, as if overshadowing the sun.
Then, a mysterious force began to spread within the tower, gradually forming into a door.
On the door was carved a peculiar roulette, divided evenly into six parts, each inscribed with different runes, exuding a desolate, lonely aura.
It felt as if behind the door was a world where no living beings existed.
The Nascent Soul Realm cultivators at the front simultaneously opened their eyes, rising to prepare for entering the Moon God Temple’s secret realm.
Suddenly, a massive shadow descended, and a colossal object emerged from the sea of clouds.
It was an island!
An island drifted over, causing Chen Nan’s pupils to contract, thinking this mode of transportation was incredibly bold.
He had seen sword control, use of spiritual artifacts, piloting flying boats, and even mana-based flight commonly; but controlling an island to fly over—he was truly witnessing it for the first time.
"Hahaha, how could you miss inviting me, Liu Sandao, to such a grand event that occurs once every three hundred years?"
A hearty voice came from the flying island, followed by a cultivator jumping directly off the flying boat, crashing onto the ground with a loud bang that shattered it in all directions.
The cultivator who jumped down had an imposing demeanor, loosely wearing his clothes, exposing a solid chest and tanned skin.
On his shoulder, he carried a heavy, large knife.
"It’s the Heavenly Thief Sect!"
Someone shouted, causing all cultivators to simultaneously clutch their storage bags.
Chen Nan tilted his head and asked, "What’s this person’s background?"
Wen Jing looked at Chen Nan like he had seen a ghost: "You don’t even know Liu Sandao?"
"I’ve been cultivating all this time, just came out of the mountains, unaware of the years, so naturally unfamiliar with these powerful figures." Chen Nan casually made an excuse.
"I see," Wen Jing understood. It wasn’t uncommon for practitioners to retreat into deep mountains for cultivation and emerge after hundreds of years; he assumed Chen Nan was such an ascetic practitioner.
"This person called Liu Sandao, although a Nascent Soul True Man, is unruly, formed the Heavenly Thief Sect, and claims himself as Master Tiandao, his disciples are adept at robbery and theft."
"That flying island is rumored to have been refined into a spiritual artifact by him, faster than a flying boat!"
Chen Nan nodded constantly; Liu Sandao truly was unique, coming up with refining an island into a spiritual artifact—definitely not an ordinary person.
The Nascent Soul True Men at the front were quite displeased upon seeing Liu Sandao, clearly having an unpleasant relationship with him.
After the Heavenly Thief Sect arrived, another group came, uniformly controlling swords, dressed in simple, clean Daoist robes, yet giving off an intimidating feeling.
"These people are disciples of Sword Cliff. In the Western Desert, there’s a saying: ’Where there’s a fight, there’s Sword Cliff.’ Though few in number, they love joining in the chaos."
Wen Jing explained directly to Chen Nan.
"Hmm?" Chen Nan hummed in confusion, how did Sword Cliff disciples sound like they had a gossip nature?
Wen Jing chuckled: "In truth, Sword Cliff disciples are pure sword cultivators; they roam seeking others to duel, under the guise of ’sword inquiry’, the leader is the contemporary senior disciple of Sword Cliff, Xiao Jian."
"Sword Cliff disciples are the strongest sword cultivators!"
"Strongest? That’s quite interesting," Chen Nan smiled faintly.
Sword cultivation, among all professions, had the strongest offensive power, and Sword Cliff was the recognized best among sword cultivators.
This showed their strength.
Just as Chen Nan thought everyone who needed to come had arrived, several figures flew closer from afar, exuding intense demon qi even before approaching.
Demon Clan!
Upon seeing the Demon Clan approach, Chen Nan’s pupils shrank again because the leader was none other than Demon King Lan Zhenyue of the Jielin Demon Clan!
"Haha, sorry to keep you all waiting. Our Jielin Demon Clan also wants to join the fun."
Lan Zhenyue had only reached the Third-Layer Nascent Soul Realm, incomparable to those nearly dying Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, but no one dared to disrespect him.
Because the Demon Clan was very united; offending them would lead to severe consequences.
"Alright, it seems everyone who mattered has arrived, let’s open the secret realm."
The oldest Master Xiuku stepped forward, and everyone else agreed; all were quite eager now.
Seeing everyone quiet down, Master Xiuku continued: "I invite fellow friends who possess Taiyin to step forward; opening the Moon God Temple’s secret realm requires a significant amount of Taiyin."
Chen Nan slightly frowned; he hadn’t expected the condition for opening the Moon God Temple would be Taiyin.
Afterward, many cultivators stepped forward, including Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian, opening their small jade bottles that they carried.
From each small jade bottle floated a mass of liquid-like black substance—Taiyin!
All simultaneously controlled Taiyin to fly towards the door, and upon touching it, all Taiyin was absorbed, causing the carved roulette on the door to gradually be tainted black.
But even with Taiyin from so many people, the roulette still wasn’t filled, missing a small part.
Master Liehuang suddenly turned around, scanning the cultivators behind, his burly figure and savage aura making his gaze extremely oppressive.
"Don’t dare hide anything from me; anyone with Taiyin, hand it over quickly, or no one will enter the secret realm!"
The cultivators below began murmuring among themselves, while Chen Nan curiously asked Wen Jing beside him: "It seems not everyone wants to hand over Taiyin, why are they keeping it?"
"You’ve come to the Moon God Temple and don’t know that?" Wen Jing widened his eyes: "It’s true that events inside the Moon God Temple are forgotten, but there’s one thing everyone who enters remembers."
"That’s in the Moon God Temple’s secret realm, if you want to gain anything, you must use Taiyin to exchange for it!"
Chen Nan was stunned; how come Ling Shuanghua didn’t tell him this important information? Was it overlooked or deliberate?
He had already absorbed and transformed Taiyin into his Yin Spirit Root, so as long as he had mana, he could continuously gather Taiyin.
Taiyin, which seemed incredibly precious to others, was abundant for him!
"Why does this secret realm seem prepared just for me?"
Chen Nan murmured to himself, secretly took out a small jade bottle, condensed some Taiyin into it.
As Master Liehuang became impatient, Chen Nan pushed through the crowd in front and walked straight forward.
"I have it here!"
He opened the jade bottle, and a large mass of Taiyin floated out, more than what Feng Qingcheng and Xiao Jian had taken out.
This caused Master Xiuku and Master Liehuang to look at him with less than friendly eyes, as having Taiyin meant being rewarded in the Moon God Temple!
And Chen Nan had become a hot commodity!
