"We'll discuss that later. Let's deal with the matter before us."
The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion glanced at the five Martial Gods and the thirty-six Martial Monarchs.
Qin Nan immediately understood his intention. He nodded and withheld his murderous intent, before glancing at the cultivators.
"Thank you to seniors for offering your assistance. I'll never forget your kindness."
Qin Nan brought his fists together toward the five Martial Gods and the thirty-six Martial Monarchs with a solemn expression.
Without them, it was hard to tell if he could have achieved his current state.
"HAHA, Qin Nan, you're being too modest."
"Don't worry, it's nothing worth mentioning."
"That's right…"
The five Martial Gods and the thirty-six Martial Monarchs shook their heads and said with smiles.
Their attitude toward Qin Nan had subconsciously changed.
Although Qin Nan was only a half-Martial Monarch, the strength and talent he displayed thoroughly impressed them.
Besides, it was fairly easy to solve the problem with the Tribulation.
"Qin Nan, congratulations."
A hoarse voice spoke from the sky. Following that, a pitch-black, twisted figure appeared from above. It was none other than the owner of the Wretched Disaster Forest, the will of the Disaster Martial God.
"Disaster, I'll be straightforward, if any news were to leak out from here before Qin Nan has fully achieved the Martial Monarch Realm, your Wretched Disaster Forest will turn into dust."
The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion said with an indifferent tone.
"Of course we will keep the secret. Our only hope is that when Cultivator Qin Nan achieves meteoric success in the future, please lend us a hand."
The Disaster Martial God responded in a calm manner.
"Senior, I will surely repay your kindness."
Qin Nan replied.
"Qin Nan, this is a gift from us. You might find it handy."
The Martial God with rune-like eyes performed a hand seal.
The other Martial Gods and Martial Monarchs nodded, before joining him.
"Pattern of Martial Gods and Monarchs, form!"
The five Martial Gods and thirty-six Martial Monarchs let out a roar, before flicking their fingers aiming at Qin Nan's figure. Forty-one rays sprang forward and landed on Qin Nan's figure, forming a pattern on his left arm.
Inside the pattern were the wills of the five Martial Gods and thirty-six Martial Monarchs.
If it were activated, it would execute a terrifying blow.
"Qin Nan, we'll go now. Someone is waiting for you."
The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion said smiling.
"Thank you, seniors…"
Qin Nan brought his fists together again.
After spending some time chatting with the Disaster Martial God, the Martial Gods, and the Martial Monarchs, Qin Nan proceeded to the Martial Serendipity Pavilion with the mysterious young man.
"Big brother, what shall we do now?"
The Martial God with rune-like eyes asked immediately.
"Continue to look for a successor." The Disaster Martial God raised his head as if he were staring at something. He spoke in a hoarse voice, "Even though Qin Nan is rising up and he's guaranteed to be extremely powerful and outstanding, but have you forgotten about the battle fifteen thousand years ago? For now, we can only sit on the mountain to watch the tigers fight."
The five Martial Gods and thirty-six Martial Monarchs took a deep breath after hearing this. Their faces became gloomy as if their minds were filled with something.
That was right. They could only sit and watch the situation develop for now.
After all, the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, the South-Heaven Gate, and the person behind the South-Heaven Gate were too terrifying for them.
Meanwhile, in the boundless rift, on the fifth layer of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion…
"Qin Nan, the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking aren't our true enemies. At times, we even need to team up with them. Since you've achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on your own, you've crossed their line. It's either submit to them or die."
The mysterious young man said.
"Crossed their line? What line?"
Qin Nan asked.
"Think about the Monarch Horoscope Contest and the God Horoscope Contest; the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking have forced the cultivators to absorb their Monarch Horoscope or God Horoscope. Meanwhile, you've achieved the Martial Monarch Realm by yourself, which means you won't need to rely on their Monarch Horoscope or God Horoscope. You have become a potentially great threat to them."
The mysterious young man's eyes flickered.
"I see. By the way, senior, can you tell me the secret of the Canglan Continent now?"
Qin Nan nodded, who proceeded to ask as a sudden thought crossed his mind.
Since he had arrived at the Middle Continent, the Martial Serendipity Pavilion had already told him that he would only tell him the true secret of the Canglan Continent after he had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm.
"Not now."
Before the mysterious young man could speak, a cold voice appeared.
Qin Nan turned around and was shocked.
Someone else had appeared on the fifth layer out of nowhere.
The man was wearing a white robe, with his hands placed behind himself. His gaze was piercing, and his eye-catching white hair was drifting in the wind. From afar, it felt like everything had become dimmer before the man, including the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
Qin Nan had seen the man before. He was the leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, the Magical Hair Sword God.
However, the Magical Hair Sword God he had seen was the Martial Serendipity Pavilion's disguise.
Why was the Magical Hair Sword God here now?
"You're only a half-Martial Monarch now. Everyone, including the person from eight thousand years ago, had to swear an oath when they achieved the Martial Monarch Realm. If they tell anyone who has yet to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, they will suffer great consequences."
The Magical Hair Sword God stepped forward and explained.
"Magical Hair, why the sudden visit? I thought you’d mentioned that Qin Nan was not yet worthy enough for you?"
The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion said with a smirk.
"He wasn't before, but now, I have to say that I'm quite impressed. I will adjust my plan accordingly too."
The Magical Hair Sword God said honestly without any hint of embarrassment.
"Only a half-Martial Monarch…"
Qin Nan clenched his fists tightly.
He was now at the first-layer Martial Monarch Realm with the amount of primary monarch force he had, which granted him a strength equivalent to the sixth-layer Martial Monarch Realm. The Tribulation was a mere formality, but this formality was extremely important for him.
If he could not absorb the primary monarch force, he would not be able to save Jiang Bilan.
Jiang Bilan had died for him. How could he not save her?
"Senior, Alliance Leader, do you know any way to trigger the Tribulation?"
Qin Nan uttered a sign and asked.
As a matter of fact, he had encountered a problem with the Tribulation before. However, he had managed to resolve the problem with the mysterious golden seal. However, the force of the Tribulation to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm was too much for the golden seal to handle. Besides that, the Monarch Horoscope Contest had already ended. He could not absorb the force of the Tribulation that the others had triggered.
Therefore, he could only rely on other ways.
"There are two ways."
The Magical Hair Sword God glanced at Qin Nan with a grin.
"First; kill a million cultivators to infuriate the Heavens and Earth, thus triggering the Tribulation.
"Or second; head to the seventh Forbidden Ground."
