Chapter 995 – The Wind Begins to Blow
…Meanwhile, at the South-Heaven Sacred Ground of the half-God region…
In an ancient mysterious forbidden area, a long-haired young man had his hands behind his back. His eyes glittered like the stars in the night sky, with three Martial Spirits floating behind him, resulting in a terrifying aura. Even the Heavens and Earth could not suppress his presence.
A stream of black and white Qi suddenly landed beside the young man and spoke, “The expert protecting the young man should not be underestimated, at least on par with my strength. Even my Yin and Yang Deduction was unable to obtain his appearance, aura, and background.”
“It’s fine.” The long-haired young man calmly said, “A genius who has surpassed the rules of cultivation will surely have some authority protecting him. I never expected us to learn his identity in the first place. I only needed to validify your speculation that a genius surpassing the rules of cultivation had appeared in the Middle Continent.”
“You didn’t trust me.” The voice said helplessly.
The long-haired young man did not comment on it, but added, “Currently, the Middle Continent has the genius who has surpassed the rules of cultivation, and the successor of the Heaven-Shattering Saber whom Junior Brother mentioned before, the successors of the Godly Exterminator Forbidden Area, Nine Words, Calamity, etc. They have all appeared, hinting at an approaching storm.”
“It’s expected, as the Middle Continent is the core of the Canglan Continent. The half-God region is included in the Middle Continent too.” The black and white Qi said in a calm tone.
“What have the authorities decided from their meeting?” The young man suddenly asked.
“If everything goes according to the plan, prior to the Monarch Horoscope Contest, the Three Great Factions will be telling the public about you three. They will soon carry out the plan in the Middle Continent too.” The voice from the Qi said with a slight chuckle, “I believe the half-God region is going to get lively soon.”
“Great, the more the merrier, the more geniuses there are, the more fun it will be.” The young man clapped before he added after a slight hesitation, “I’ll be going too when the time comes.”
“You’re going to look for him?” The voice asked.
“Of course.” The long-haired young man smirked, “If he doesn’t plan to show himself, I will force him to do so!”
…Meanwhile, at the Heaven-Saber Sect of the Middle Continent…
In a palace, the Extraordinary Saber Monarch’s eyes sprang open as his aura was disordered all of a sudden.
“Damn, what enemy did that little asshole Qin Nan make this time? Why did I sense the aura of the Yin and Yang Taoist?” The Extraordinary Saber Monarch was familiar of the Yin and Yang Taoist.
At the same time, he let out a sigh in his heart.
He could sense a mysterious force shattering his will, preventing him from seeing what had happened after the encounter.
“Shit, I have to make sure Tang Qingshan is going into seclusion right away.” The Extraordinary Saber Monarch pondered before reaching a conclusion.
Tang Qingshan would amaze the world with a single brilliant feat when the Monarch Horoscope Contest began.
Now he should remain low-key for the time being.
“Sigh, should I go ask Qin Nan? Forget it, even if he did stumble into something, he would never tell me…” The Extraordinary Saber Monarch thought.
Little did he know that the decision he made saved Tang Qingshan from a great trouble.
…Meanwhile, in some ancient woods in the Middle Continent…
Qin Nan had no idea where the Martial Serendipity Pavilion had brought him too. However, since he was not in a rush, he had decided to take a stroll for once.
Many beasts revealed their fangs as they thought they had found themselves a delicious meal, uttering a few roars at Qin Nan while dashing toward him. However, a faint aura was unleashed by the human, which turned out to be dragon’s might.
The beasts were instantly terrified, causing them to flee in all directions while feeling helpless. How dare the human conceal his aura when he possessed dragon’s might, was he trying to pull a prank on them?
After taking a few hundred steps, Qin Nan saw a boulder in front of him and sat on top of it.
A breeze calmly swept his hair.
“Calm down, calm down.”
Qin Nan lowered his head and withdrew his thoughts. For some reason, after coming out from the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, his left eye, hands, blood, and the Divine Battle Spirit had been trembling slightly.
They were excited.
He had never experienced this before.
The words spoken by the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and Madam Heavenly Fortune had given him a great shock.
Firstly, Qin Nan could sense the entire Canglan Continent becoming restless.
Secondly, it turned out that three people in the half-God region had also surpassed the rules of cultivation.
Thirdly, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion had urged him to be prepared as his secrets of the Heaven-Shattering Saber and the nine Martial Trees would be exposed very soon.
What would happen once the secrets were exposed?
He could imagine it bringing a great shock to the cultivators of the Middle Continent. His ranking on the Monarch Ranking would also skyrocket instantly, making him one of greatest geniuses among the younger generation, placing him in the limelight.
It would also place him in great danger.
“Screw it.”
Qin Nan let out a sigh as he stood up, smashing the boulder into pieces with a punch.
It was great news now that he had found some worthy opponents.
As for the change of era, or the risk of his secrets being exposed…
Did it matter?
His goal was to shatter the South-Heaven Gate, allowing the return of the Divine God of Battle!
Either way, his priority now was to grow stronger!
“I shall send a message to the Shadow Pagoda and the Dragon Emperor, to see if there’s any powerful forbidden areas that have been opened lately.” Qin Nan took out two badges and transmitted his message.
The Shadow Pagoda responded almost instantly, listing the forbidden areas that were relatively active recently, but none of them managed to catch Qin Nan’s attention.
With his current cultivation, he was only interested in more challenging places.
There was no reply from the Dragon Emperor. Qin Nan was not in a hurry either. He began to make his way back to the Dragon Emperor Clan while comprehending the Art of Destruction.
He had to find a way to let his personal Martial Tree break the rules of cultivation too.
Once he achieved the Martial Monarch Realm, the number of Divine Battle Trees would increase further, thus it was important that his personal Martial Tree was strong enough to control them.
That way, his strength would improve significantly too.
Two days later, Qin Nan’s comprehension of the Art of Destruction had advanced to the next layer. He was only a step away from mastering it.
Qin Nan did not stop there, but continued to comprehend it while many places in the Middle Continent were in chaos.
Two days had passed…
He finally received a response on his badge, which was from the Dragon Emperor, “Qin Nan, return to the Dragon Emperor Clan at once.”
“Mm?” Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.
Could it be that some powerful forbidden area has been discovered?
The thought crossed his mind, prompting him to fly into the distance under the astonished gaze of the cultivators nearby.
It took him two hours to make his way back to the Dragon Emperor Clan through the Middle Sector City.
“Qin Nan, come to the main hall of the Battle Dragon Peak.”
As soon as he landed, the voice of the Dragon Emperor greeted him.
Qin Nan immediately proceeded to the Battle Dragon Peak under the curious gaze of the disciples. As soon as he arrived, more than ten gazes were directed at him.
The one at the leading position was the seven-inch purple dragon.
Below him were the Peak Leader of the Battle Dragon Peak, the First Elder Hua Lie, Hua Dichen, and the three core disciples.
“Chief, are you planning to let Qin Nan come with us too?”
