Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and smiled, "If everyone is already aware of our plan, I'll make it clear again. We might be going against the factions and clans you were once affiliated with. It's up to you whether you want to be involved or not."

Xu Ruchen immediately said, "I've already given you my word. As long as it's not someone from the Xu Clan or my close ones, I will not hesitate to fight with my full strength, nor would I run away."

"Same for me!"

"Same for me!"

The Nine Heavens Supremes yelled.

"If that's the case, it's time for us to set out!" Qin Nan declared with a magnificent aura. Princess Miao Miao and Jiang Bilan remained by his side as they flew into the sky, followed by the Nine Heavens Supremes.

The Westernmost Land and the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree were far apart. Their formation was quite intimidating too. They all withdrew their auras and flew at a steady pace to prevent other cultivators from spotting them.

It took them five days to reach an ancient mountain close to the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree. They managed to find a perfect hiding spot to rest up while waiting for those who went ahead to collect information to get back to them.

Qin Nan used the time he had to understand the situation around the Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree.

The Heaven-Reaching Dao Tree was quite unusual. After so many years, the cultivators could only reach the nineteenth branch at most. They would have to wait until the tree had blossomed to go any higher. Otherwise, they would be crushed to death by its presence.

The seven Heaven Highness Clans, Supreme Daoism factions, Mumen Sect, and Shidao Tribe had established their bases on the nineteenth and eighteenth branches.

The ancient clans and factions led by Rulers of Dao had joined hands and occupied the branches between the third and seventeenth branches. They had built huge cities across the branches, but only fifteen of them were comparable to the bases of the formidable factions.

The two remaining branches were occupied by rogue cultivators.

It did not mean the rogue cultivators or other factions were not allowed to go to the eighteenth and nineteenth branches, but the Heaven Highness Clans and Supreme Daoism factions had established their own rules. The others just had to follow them.

There was also something else the cultivators had to know. None of them could fly to the nineteenth branch from the ground before the tree blossomed. Otherwise, they would be crushed by its presence too.

They had to pay to use the teleportation formation on the ground if they wanted to go to the nineteenth branch.

"We have the latest information," Jiang Bilan checked a badge and flicked her finger to display the information she received in words.

"Regarding the Wang Clan, the seventy-fourth Saint who's ranked fourth on the Supreme Leaderboard, Wang Tianfang has been cultivating in seclusion since a month ago. The Wang Clan also has two peak Nine Heavens Supremes and six Nine Heavens Supremes in the Greater Success Stage."

"Regrading the Li Clan, the seventy-second Saintess, Li Yangfan who's ranked first on the Supreme Leaderboard has been missing for some time. We only know the clan has a peak Nine Heavens Supreme and a Nine Heavens Supreme in the Greater Success Stage."

"Regrading the Xu Clan, the eightieth Saintess, Xu Chenyan who's ranked sixth on the Supreme Leaderboard is still around. It's her brother's birthday three days from now. She has invited a few Saints and Saintesses whom she's close with to his brother's birthday feast..."
