Chapter 1346 – Preparations Are Made
Meanwhile, in the half-God region, the southernmost area…
"That Sun and Moon Sword God actually sacrificed all of his cultivation to put a seal on my will. This might actually give the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking the upper hand."
The imperious voice of the South-Heaven Gate's Spirit spoke.
It had sent out two-tenths of its will not only to kill the Sun and Moon Sword God, but he had also been planning to identify the person who had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on his own in order to eliminate the pawn of the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking.
"Master, what should we do now?"
A handsome young man with a blood mark on his forehead in front of the South-Heaven Gate said.
The young man was the current Patriarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground—together with the Patriarchs of the Martial Principle Sect and the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground and the ruler of the God Beast Forbidden Ground, they were known as the Four Great Martial Gods.
"Two-tenths of my will has been sealed off, so the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking will be lowering their guards. We will proceed with the plan. However, send more men to keep an eye on the Magical Hair Sword God. The Sun and Moon Sword God has lost his cultivation, but he won't give up so easily,"
The South-Heaven Gate's Spirit said.
"How about the Martial Principle Sect and the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground…"
The young man frowned slightly.
"Tell them that even though the Sun and Moon Sword God's seal is powerful, it will only take at most half a year to break it.
"It's the least of our concerns. Focus more on Sheng Tianjing, Zhuang Cidao, and Su Qingning instead. After all, once everyone enters the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, the key to success still lies with those Genius Martial Monarchs."
The South-Heaven Gate's Spirit's voice became solemn.
His plan did not only involve killing the person who had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on their own, but also letting the three geniuses take control of the real origin of cultivation from the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
Once they had comprehended the origin, they would be able to seal off the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain permanently,to eliminate the threat once and for all.
"Acknowledged."
The young man nodded. His figure turned into a blue ray that disappeared into the distance.
……
……
Half-God region, in the rift…
The Magical Hair Sword God in a white robe who was staring at a pool suddenly wore a startled expression. He spat out three drops of golden blood. His imperious aura suddenly weakened as if he had just suffered a great blow.
"What happened to you?"
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion was shocked.
Why would the Magical Hair Sword God suffer such a great injury out of nowhere?
"Nothing significant, it's just an old injury left from when I fought against the South-Heaven Gate. It's not fully recovered yet."
The Magical Hair Sword God shook his head, whose face quickly returned to normal.
"Alright." The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion shrugged. He could not help but ask as a sudden thought crossed his mind, "Isn't the Sun and Moon Sword God quite close to you? Aren't you furious that you had to watch him lose his cultivation?"
"What is there to be furious about? It's all to shatter the South-Heaven Gate."
The Magical Hair Sword God said calmly.
"So we're just going to wait here?"
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion shook his head and changed the topic.
"Of course not, we'll have to prepare something in advance. If Qin Nan manages to overcome the situation and achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, it will be time…"
A terrifying sword intent burst out from the Magical Hair Sword God's body, shattering the rift nearby, resulting in a huge shockwave.
"Let's go."
The Magical Hair Sword God soon withdrew his aura and returned to normal. His figure disappeared with a kick.
……
……
In the Half-God region, at the foothills of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain…
The Martial Monarchs, Genius Martial Monarchs, and rogue cultivators who had yet to enter through the blue copper arc door stared at the Sun and Moon Realm with blank faces.
They did not expect the formidable battle would come to an end so soon.
Likewise, they never thought the Sun and Moon Sword God would use this terrifying move that was capable of sealing the South-Heaven Gate.
"Is it over?"
"We're saved!"
"I'm not dead, I'm not dead yet!"
The Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, Vast Skythunder, and the rest of the cultivators collected their thoughts. Their faces were filled with great surprise. Just a few moments ago, they had thought the situation was completely hopeless.
"Senior Sun and Moon Sword God…"
Qin Nan was stunned.
Did he see it right?
Had the Sun and Moon Sword God really sacrificed his cultivation to save them?
"Everyone."
A calm voice spoke in the sky.
The Sun and Moon Sword God slowly walked out from the Sun and Moon Realm.
"I'll be merging with the Sun and Moon Realm soon. I won't be able to protect you any longer. The authorities and the Genius Martial Monarchs of the Three Great Factions will be here soon. Hurry up and head into the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain."
The Sun and Moon Sword God said calmly as if nothing had happened.
"Got it!"
The cultivators immediately unleashed their monarch auras and headed for the entrance without hesitation.
They had no intention of staying at the place any longer.
"Senior…"
Qin Nan did not move. He could not help but speak.
"Qin Nan, I've indeed lost my cultivation."
Before Qin Nan could speak, the Sun and Moon Sword God glanced at him and transmitted his voice.
"You…"
Even Qin Nan could not help but tremble as he heard the words.
The others might not be aware of it, but he clearly knew that the reason the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain had opened up in advance and the Anti-Heaven Alliance was there was to help him achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on his own.
If it weren't for helping him, the Sun and Moon Sword God would not have put himself at risk and sacrificed his cultivation.
It was not just ordinary cultivation either, but the cultivation of the Martial God Realm!
How many cultivators in the entire Canglan Continent were able to become a Martial God?
How many difficulties did he go through to stand out among the geniuses and become a Martial God?
And now, he had entirely lost his cultivation!
Going from a Martial God standing at the peak of the Canglan Continent to an ordinary person, how painful would it be to him?
"Qin Nan, don't think too much. I've sacrificed my cultivation in order to shatter the South-Heaven Gate. If it were someone else apart from you trying to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own, I would still do the same thing. Besides, I can always start again."
The Sun and Moon Sword God said as if he could read Qin Nan's thoughts.
"But…"
Qin Nan was trying to say something.
"No 'buts', if you're really grateful, then go and achieve the Martial Monarch Realm. As long as you succeed, even if I die…I'll wear a smile on my face."
The Sun and Moon Sword God spoke calmly. He stared at Qin Nan for a moment, before walking toward the Sun and Moon Realm with his robe drifting to the wind.
Perhaps it was because of the brilliance of the sun and moon, but the Sun and Moon Sword God's figure was emitting a great warmth at that instant.
