Chapter 1646 – Subduing the Golden-Winged Beast
Qin Nan immediately sensed something.
It was as if the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was trying to tell him that it had made the first step, and he was now able to unleash its power.
“Perhaps I can use a part of the Ownerless Heaven Pattern’s power after refining the Divine Battle Runes?”
The thought crossed his mind, yet he did not stop with what he was up to. He performed a hand seal, merging the Dao glows with his saber intent.
BANG!
The saber slashed forward. Bai Fu who was charging at him at an outstanding pace spat out mouthfuls of blood as if he had just been struck heavily. He reclaimed his initial appearance and fell to the ground in the distance with a weakened aura.
“You…you have mastered the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm?”
Bai Fu and Wan Xiao were dumbfounded.
Even many of the Peerless Rulers had yet to achieve the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm.
“Ultimate Life Talisman!”
Bai Fu quickly collected his thoughts and pinched an immortal talisman into pieces in order to escape from the place.
He no longer dared to push his luck further.
“Let’s try if this works!”
Qin Nan was long prepared for it. Following a thought, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern immediately unleashed a brilliant glow. It came out from Qin Nan’s Divine Sense and loomed over Bai Fu.
“What’s going…”
Bai Fu’s eyes widened. Before he could finish his sentence, a magnificent force dragged him into the pattern.
The hall fell silent once again.
The Ownerless Heaven Pattern returned to Qin Nan’s Divine Sense. The man immediately took a closer look at it.
For some reason, on the Ownerless Heaven Pattern, apart from the crystal and the White-Blue Flower, there was also a pattern of the Eight Trigrams.
On a little corner of the trigrams was a portrait, and it seemed t o be Bai Fu.
“What’s going on here?”
Even Qin Nan was utterly confused.
After Bai Fu was turned into a portrait, Qin Nan could still sense that the man was still alive, but he was unable to move at all, as if he had been sealed off.
Could this mean that the Ownerless Heaven Pattern’s power was to seal away other cultivators?
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, some ancient words appeared around Bai Fu’s portrait.
The general outline of the True Scriptures of the Ultimate Life Dao!
In addition to it, there were more words surfacing on the pattern too.
“The general outline of the True Scriptures of the Ultimate Life Dao? Isn’t this the Art of Dao Seeking of the Extreme Living Gate? Does this mean…”
Qin Nan’s heart began to pound heavily as he had a thought.
If what he thought was true, the power of the Ownerless Heaven Pattern was simply too shocking!
“Wan Xiao, have you learned the Art of Dao Seeking yet?”
Qin Nan soon calmed his thoughts and asked.
It was still a mere speculation. He would have to prove if what he thought was actually the case.
“Art of Dao Seeking? If I’ve learned one, how could you defeat me so easily?”
Wan Xiao said while clenching his teeth. Meanwhile, he secretly spread his wings.
He was preparing to leave the place when he had the chance.
“So you haven’t learned it…”
Qin Nan murmured before he added, “Even if you haven’t, I should try it on you too.”
With the thought, Qin Nan activated the Ownerless Heaven Pattern again. Wan Xiao could only watch himself being dragged into the pattern, and turned into a second portrait on it.
Qin Nan immediately looked at the portrait and saw words surfacing close to Wan Xiao’s portrait, the Immortal Scriptures of the Fuyao Nine Heavens!
“The Ownerless Heaven Pattern…it really has such an unbelievable power.”
Even Qin Nan took a deep breath subconsciously.
Based on the experiment, it seemed that not only was the Ownerless Heaven Pattern able to seal cultivators inside it, it could also obtain the strongest art that these cultivators had practiced.
If a cultivator had learned the Art of Dao Seeking, it could retrieve the Art of Dao Seeking from them!
Besides, it could entrap several cultivators inside it.
“If I was to seal the core disciples of every Supreme Daoism factions in it, wouldn’t that simply mean I can learn all the Art of Dao Seeking they have?”
Qin Nan’s blood began to boil.
However, he soon realized something.
Bai Fu was only a core disciple of the Extreme Living Gate, and he had only learned the general outline of the True Scriptures of Ultimate Life Dao, meaning that the Ownerless Heaven Pattern could only retrieve the general outline that he had learned.
If he was aiming to retrieve the complete Art of Dao Seeking, he would have to seal the strongest disciples of the Extreme Living Gate inside the pattern.
“Even so, the Ownerless Heaven Pattern is still remarkable.”
Qin Nan was filled with astonishment.
Most importantly, it was obviously not the full power of the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
Once his cultivation improved further, he would be able to unleash more power of the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
“No wonder the Beast Hide Drawing was so interested in it.”
A thought soon crossed Qin Nan’s mind, “Let’s see if I can release them.”
He communicated with the Ownerless Heaven Pattern.
The portrait that Wan Xiao turned into emitted a brilliant, golden glow. It flew out of the pattern and landed on the ground.
“Qin Nan, just kill me if you want! Either way, I’m still a Peerless Genius, it’s unnecessary to cast such a strange spell on me!”
Wan Xiao snapped furiously as soon as he came out of the pattern.
Just a moment ago, he was totally bound by something that made him felt extremely uncomfortable. His thoughts had gone blank too, and he could sense that some mysterious force was snatching something away from him.
It felt extremely unpleasant.
“Not only can it release the person, it seems like he has no idea that I’ve taken away his art.”
Qin Nan’s eyes glittered.
With such a useful ability, he could retrieve the Art of Dao Seeking from the Supreme Daoism factions and they would not even realize what he was up to, saving him lots of trouble.
“Wan Xiao, even an ant knows to live without a purpose, and yet you’re so eager to die? My promise still stands, if you’re willing to become my mount, I will spare your life.”
Qin Nan said sternly. He had coveted the Golden-Winged Giant Peng for a long time. He would not give it up so easily.
“Hehe, still asking me to be your mount? In your dreams!”
Wan Xiao chuckled. He showed no intention of changing his mind.
“You must understand that I can easily force you to become my mount with my current strength.”
Qin Nan said calmly, “However, I’m not willing to do so, unless I’m left with no choice.”
“Think about it, I’m soon going to become the strongest Immortal, making a name for myself in the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm.”
“Do you really think it’s embarrassing to be my mount?”
Wan Xiao was startled by the words, but he soon chuckled and said mockingly, “Strongest Immortal? You? I admit that you’re pretty strong, and you did achieve the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm, but you have truly underestimated the other geniuses of the Nine Heavens Immortal Realm!”
He had done his homework before participating in the Immortal Ascension War. He had discovered that a few extremely talented cultivators had already probed the Dao Realm.
Probing the Dao Realm was still incomparable to achieving the Minor Success Stage of the Dao Realm, but it was not too far away either.
“If I fail to become the strongest Immortal, I’ll apologize to you and give you kowtows, you won’t be embarrassed either.”
Qin Nan placed his hands behind and glanced at Wan Xiao, “But if I did become the strongest Immortal, you are going to be my mount for ten years. Do you dare to accept the challenge?”
