Chapter 1556 - Turning Peril into Safety, Part One

The bait sank as if it had hooked onto a heavy object.

Qin Nan instinctively pulled it back. An ancient rock emitting six different colors appeared in front of him.

It was a Liuhuang Rock!

"Did he already fish a Liuhuang Rock?"

The Blood-Eye Earth God could not believe his eyes.

He never heard anyone able to acquire a Lihuang Rock in less than a thousand breaths' time.

Did a genius like Qin Nan necessarily have outstanding luck too?

"Senior Blood-Eye, please don't make a fuss about it. There might be crooks mixed in with the honest folk here. It's unwise to show our catch to them." 

Qin Nan was filled with joy. However, he quickly calmed down and put the Liuhuang Rock away before warning the Blood-Eye Earth God.

"Do you mean..."

The Blood-Eye Earth God was startled. Did Qin Nan imply that he could continue to fish out the second Liuhuang Rock apart from the first one?

"We'll see."

Qin Nan was not too confident either. He hurled the rod and continued fishing.

Although the mysterious Ownerless Heaven Pattern was inside his Divine Sense, he was unable to control it.

He could not tell if it was just a mere coincidence.

Buzz!

The Ownerless Heaven Pattern did not let Qin Nan down. It seemed to have a shocking level of intelligence. It was aware of what Qin Nan was trying to achieve, thus it unleashed a mysterious glow into the bait once again.

The heavy feeling came once again.

Qin Nan pulled the rod back and found another Liuhuang Rock.

"Qin Nan, you..."

The Blood-Eye Earth God's eyes flickered with astonishment.

Many Peerless Genius in the Heaven God Realm had attempted to fish the Liuhuang Rocks too, yet they all could only rely on their luck to acquire them.

How did Qin Nan do it?

He would not believe it if he was only able to fish the Liuhuang Rocks with pure luck.

"Senior Blood-Eye, I happen to have something that can attract the Liuhuang Rocks."

Qin Nan wore a calm smile.

Meanwhile, he also learned something from it.

Things like saying that luck was the only factor to fish the Liuhuang Rocks did not really exist. It was just that the cultivators so far had failed to find something to attract the Liuhuang Rocks.

In other words, if only luck could influence the outcome, it simply meant the power they possessed was insufficient to manipulate the outcome.

An absolute power could dominate everything.

"I see! Qin Nan, every piece of Liuhuang Rocks is quite valuable. Do try your best to fish as many of them as you can. We can easily exchange them with more than ten Immortal Weapons..."

The Blood-Eye Earth God collected his thoughts. He looked rather excited.

"Sure."

Qin Nan would not let the chance to go to waste either. He continued to hurl the rod and fish one after another Liuhuang Rock from the river.

Of course, no one knew what was going on.

"Why can't I get even a single piece after waiting for so long?"

However, the cultivators on the Lihuang River frowned simultaneously, especially those who had spent days trying to fish a single Liuhuang Rock.

"Such a pity."

Half an hour later, Qin Nan had acquired eighty-seven Liuhuang Rocks in total. He kept repeating the same actions, but he finally stopped for the first time while shaking his head.

The reason being that the Ownerless Heaven Pattern inside his Divine Sense had stopped unleashing the mysterious aura. Otherwise, he would be able to fish more of the Lihuang Rocks.

"Well, eighty-seven pieces is a lot too."

Qin Nan soon collected his thoughts and communicated with the Blood-Eye Earth God with his Divine Sense. He then drove the boat heading for the shore, preparing to set out for the Liuhuang Battleground.

Whoosh!

Meanwhile, the water suddenly gathered from all directions and formed a wave that was over a hundred zhang tall.

Countless glows were emitted from the wave, lighting up the surroundings.

Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Earth God were not too surprised by the phenomenon, but the rest of the cultivators, including the disciples from the factions ruled by Peerless Rulers, and the disciples of the three Supreme Daoism factions were astounded.

"What just happened!"

"All one hundred pieces have been fished out today?"

"I clearly remember only thirteen pieces are taken half an hour ago. There should be eighty-seven pieces left!"

On top of them, the cultivators in the surrounding cities were attracted by the lights, and were dumbfounded too.

 The Liuhuang Heavenly River only provided them with one hundred Liuhuang Rocks every day.

After the daily supply of rocks was taken, the Liuhuang Heavenly River would produce a hundred-zhang-tall wave and trigger rare phenomena. It had been the same for a few thousand years.

However, how was it possible that eighty-seven pieces of Liuhuang Rocks were gone in merely half an hour?

How is that possible?

"Go investigate, and see who are the ones that fished the eighty-seven Liuhuang Rocks!"

The inner disciples among the three Supreme Daoism factions demanded upon collecting their thoughts.

There must be a reason behind anything unusual. They had come solely for the Liuhuang Heavenly River, yet they could not receive even one piece of the Liuhuang Rocks. As such, they were eager to find out the truth.

As for Qin Nan and the Blood-Eye Earth God, they were utterly clueless about the reaction of the crowd. They looked around briefly and started heading for the Liuhuang Battleground.

The journey from the Liuhuang Heavenly River to the Liuhuang Battleground would take them some time.

"Are you Qin Nan from the Canglan Continent?"

An imperious voice exploded in their ears all of a sudden.

"Mm?"

The two's eyes glittered as they glanced in the direction of the voice.

Not far from them stood a bald-headed man in a giant, mink coat covered in a godly glow. His body was unleashing streams of fierce auras.

The man's cultivation had reached the peak Heaven God Realm!

In addition to that, they were six other figures behind him, each with a cultivation of the Heaven God Realm too.

"May I ask who you are?"

Qin Nan frowned. He secretly activated the god force inside his body as he asked.

"Just answer my question, yes or no!"

The bald-headed man said coldly. His words were like thunder strikes, even Qin Nan's ears started buzzing.

The words were uttered with an Immortal Art, able to cower one's heart. 

However, Qin Nan had mastered the Dao Realm, and had also merged with the flesh of the Divine God of Battle. The Immortal Art had little effect on him.

Any other Earth God would suffer a mental breakdown temporarily as they were overwhelmed by fear.

"So what if I am?"

Qin Nan's expression turned cold.

"Interesting, a mere Earth God is able to resist my Soul-Suppressing Immortal Tone!" The bald-headed man's eyes flickered in astonishment before he said in a hollow laugh, "However, you are too full of yourself, to dare offend Young Master Wan!"
