Chapter 1364 – The Rising Undercurrent
A while later, in a different space…
Two voices spoke as soon as Qin Nan landed on the ground.
"Damn, is that red lightning figure the Crying Blood Lightning Monarch from three thousand years ago?"
"That chick has a nice body."
Sima Kong and Little Worm were staring at the mirror.
Qin Nan took a glance and saw Wan Fenghun, Jiang Kongzhou, Blood Rune, the Martial Monarchs, and the Crying Blood Lightning Monarch looking completely astounded.
Obviously, Qin Nan's sudden disappearance had given them quite a great shock.
"Time is running short, let's move on."
Qin Nan withdrew his gaze and said.
In order to access the Skyless Dojo for Little Worm and Sima Kong too, he would need four hundred and twenty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws in total. They now had one hundred and eighty, thus they were still two hundred and forty short.
The two humans and one dragon continued to search for the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws.
It seemed like they were relatively out of luck today. When the seventh space began to change, they had already used the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror six times. Each image only showed two to three Sky-Severing Dragon Claws. Not one had more than ten claws.
That being said, it did not necessarily mean they did not earn any profit throughout the period. In the seventh space, they were ambushed by over ten Martial Progenitors and three Martial Monarchs. However, after robbing them in return, they now had two hundred and thirty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws.
"Such a strong presence of the rift of space."
Little Worm said astonishingly as they arrived in the eighth space.
Qin Nan raised his head to glance at the surroundings. The sky had an eerie gray-white color, with wisps of gray aura lingering in the air, emitting a strong energy ripple that resembled the rift.
The eighth space turned out to be the Rift Space.
"Master Ao Que, that's not our concern. Hurry up and activate the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror, I'll add to your luck this time."
Sima Kong said with a fawning expression.
"Stay away from me, if it weren't for your bad luck, how would it be possible for the mirror to only show us a few dragon claws each time in the past six attempts?"
Little Worm rolled his eyes as he activated the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror.
"Huh?"
The image on the mirror immediately attracted the trio's attention.
Inside the mirror stood a gray-white pagoda that was thirteen floors tall. Even from the mirror, they could still sense an icy will of the rift from the pagoda.
Obviously, the pagoda was right here in the eighth space.
"Only three of them."
Sima Kong was the first to see the three Sky-Severing Dragon Claws at the top of the pagoda. He instantly wore a disappointed look, with a hint of doubt.
"How deceiving is the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain? No way, I'll have to wash my claws with the Soul Water."
Little Worm looked quite down as well.
"Mm? Zang Xuanyun?"
Qin Nan was about to withdraw his gaze when he saw four figures arriving at the pagoda. They turned out to be Zang Xuanyun, Zhuang Qianzhui, Ji Qimei, and Li Qimo.
When the four arrived at the pagoda, they nodded at one another and raised their heads, performing four different kinds of hand seals, each summoning a glowing talisman which they attached to the pagoda.
"Little Worm, what are they doing?"
Qin Nan asked with a slight frown.
The Sky-Severing Dragon Claws were at the top of the pagoda. Why were they attaching the talismans onto the pagoda instead of retrieving the Sky-Severing Dragon Claws?
"They are attaching four different teleportation talismans onto the pagoda. Once they are attached to the pagoda, it will utilize the force of the rift to construct four undetectable, powerful ancient transportation formations.
"The people outside will be able to come to the eighth space with the formations."
Little Worm said after taking a glance.
"Allowing the people outside to come to the eighth space? Are they planning to bring more people from the Three Great Factions and Undead Tribe?"
Qin Nan was startled, who quickly shook his head.
If that was their plan, they could simply bring them along through the entrance of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
"Little Worm, does that mean they wouldn't be able to construct the formations without relying on the power of the pagoda?"
Qin Nan was shocked as a thought crossed his mind.
"Of course, this is a space created by the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain. It is impossible to come in here regardless of how powerful a teleportation formation was. The only way is to utilize the force of the rift in this space."
Little Worm nodded.
"Is that so?"
Qin Nan's eyes squinted slightly.
Something seemed out of place the more he thought about it.
The space was changed randomly every time. It was still possible for the four to meet up in the same space, yet wasn't it strange that the four had met up in the eighth space filled with the force of the rift?
Besides, how did they locate the pagoda when they had just arrived in the eighth space?
If it were a mere coincidence, it was too coincidental to be true.
"Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate; those three have been setting up their plan. Those four must be here under the instruction of the South-Heaven Gate. Even though I don't know what their plan is, I should keep an eye out for them when I try to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm…"
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
He was able to know this thanks to the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror. Otherwise, he would be clueless about it.
"Damn, only one this time."
Meanwhile, as the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror was activated again, Sima Kong could not help but curse when he saw the image.
It was the eighth time that the mirror had given such a bad outcome.
Could it be that there was no longer any place with a large number of Sky-Severing Dragon Claws in the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain?
"Damn, I can't believe this. Blood of the Dragon Soul!"
Little Worm cursed and performed a hand seal. He flicked his claws and fired a colorful drop of blood into the Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror.
The Sky-Peeking Dragon Mirror began to buzz vigorously due to the tremendous force. The image in the mirror changed rapidly.
Five breaths later, the image finally stabilized.
"Holy crap!"
Little Worm and Sima Kong immediately looked at the mirror and were left in bewilderment. The latter even burst out cursing.
"What is it?"
Their reaction immediately caught Qin Nan's attention. As he raised his head and saw the image, his eyes widened.
The image was displaying a pitch-black dojo, stacked with corpses and destroyed artifacts. The place was full of ravines, in complete disorder. Despite over ten thousand years having passed since the battle took place, the murderous presence was still lingering in the air, resulting in a great visual impact.
In addition to that, on a hill stood a golden skull with a dim glow, surrounded by Sky-Severing Dragon Claws.
"Eighty-one…eighty-nine…ninety-two…"
"One hundred and fifty, there are one hundred and fifty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws!"
Sima Kong sounded extremely excited.
One hundred fifty Sky-Severing Dragon Claws—it was almost double the number of Sky-Severing Dragon Claws they had acquired last time.
"A hundred and fifty? Humph, if we managed to secure them, all we need left is…"
Qin Nan took a deep breath with excitement.
However, an unexpected change took place.
The golden skull lifted slightly as if it had come alive. It was staring right at Qin Nan despite the distance between them.
"Crap, Destruction Will!"
Qin Nan immediately sensed a chill running down his spine, causing his hair to stand on end. Streams of Destruction Will burst out from his body, which surrounded his figure like a destruction armor plate, leaving no vulnerable points.
