The eyes of the mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion flickered when he heard the options. He remained silent.
"You’d best choose the first option.
"It's fairly simple. The South-Heaven Sacred Ground has recruited lots of disciples from the Middle Continent. With your cultivation, you can easily kill three hundred thousand from there, and for the rest, you can kill the disciples from other factions. You can also head to the Middle Continent or the other four Continents."
"Killing a hundred cultivators would make you an emperor, killing ten thousand a sacred, while killing a million will make you a monarch."
The Magical Hair Sword God said calmly, as if the million lives were mere ants in his eyes. It made no difference to him even if they were murdered.
"Alliance Leader, I definitely won't choose the first way. Please tell me about the second way."
Qin Nan rejected the first option without hesitation.
Although the Canglan Continent followed the law of jungle, where strength was all that mattered, every life was still precious in its own way.
He would never start a massacre against innocent people for his own benefit.
"Sure.
"As everyone knows, there were once seven Forbidden Grounds, which were the God Beast Forbidden Ground, the Lost Herb Garden, the Godly Exterminator Altar, the Martial Serendipity Realm, the Wretched Disaster Forest, the Nine Words Ancient Sea, and the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.
"On this Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, you will find a secret place, where you won't be disturbed by the Monarch Ranking, the God Ranking, and the South-Heaven Gate. Once you reach there, you can communicate with the Heavens and Earth to trigger the Tribulation to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm.
"However, unlike the Godly Exterminator Altar, the Martial Serendipity Realm, the Wretched Disaster Forest, and the Nine Words Ancient Sea which are still searching for their successors, it has disappeared from the continent for a few thousand years."
The Magical Hair Sword God said with an expressionless face.
"I see."
Qin Nan nodded.
It was his first time knowing that the Forbidden Grounds were looking for successors.
Judging by the names, he was surely the successor of the Martial Serendipity Realm, which was now the Martial Serendipity Pavilion. Tang Qingshan and Gong Yang were the successors of the Godly Exterminator Altar and the Nine Words Ancient Sea respectively.
"So I'll have to search for the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain?"
Qin Nan shook his head to clear his thoughts and asked.
"You won't need to do the searching. I have a way to let the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain reappear. However, you do know how dangerous it's going to be?"
The Magical Hair Sword God stared at Qin Nan with a sharp gaze, like two swords about to lash out. Those looking at his eyes would feel greatly intimidated.
The atmosphere suddenly intensified.
"I know, but it's fine."
Qin Nan looked into the Magical Hair Sword God's eyes without any sign of fear. His gaze was determined.
He was clearly aware of the danger that the Magical Hair Sword God was mentioning.
If the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain that had disappeared for thousands of years reappeared, the Three Great Factions, the Forbidden Grounds, the Eight Ancient Tribes, and the authorities that were in hiding would surely make their way there.
Not only would Qin Nan have to face his enemies, the news about him achieving the Martial Monarch Realm on his own would surely spread across the half-God region, or even the entire Canglan Continent.
When that happened, the Monarch Ranking, the God Ranking, and the authorities would set their eyes on him.
But what difference would that make?
The fact that he had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm by himself would be exposed eventually. It would not make any difference by trying to hide it.
Since it was just a matter of time until the storm came, why not make it fiercer?
"Very well, I'll look for the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain myself. It will reappear half a year from now. Qin Nan, from this moment onward, I'll offer my full assistance to you. You can contact me at any time using this badge."
The Magical Hair Sword God nodded. His eyes glistened as he handed over a badge.
The authorities of the Anti-Heaven Alliance would be shocked if they saw this, as no one had ever received a badge from the Magical Hair Sword God, including his disciples, Martial Monarch Mingkong and Martial Monarch Rongtian.
"Alliance Leader, this…"
Qin Nan was stunned.
He never thought that the way the Magical Hair Sword God had mentioned before would be by him looking for it.
The two had never met before this, yet the Magical Hair Sword God was willing to give him his badge.
"Not a word, and you don't need to thank me either. All of these are just to break the South-Heaven Gate. As long as you can help us break the South-Heaven Gate, I'll do whatever it takes, even if it means killing everyone or destroying everything!"
The Magical Hair Sword God's eyes became bloodshot as a terrifying murderous intent and hatred burst out from his body. His white robe flapped wildly in the wind as the entire place began to tremble. Even the space nearby was dyed red!
The anger of the Sword God had caused the scenery to change!
"Such a powerful murderous intent and hatred."
Qin Nan's heart shuddered.
What exactly had the South-Heaven Gate done to him, to make him so furious?
"Magical Hair, are you trying to destroy my place?"
The mysterious young man snapped as his eyes squinted.
"I'm sorry, I lost myself there."
The Magical Hair Sword God collected his thoughts, withdrawing the murderous intent and hatred.
"Alright, I shall not mention it further. I will remember your kindness and will try my best to break the South-Heaven Gate with all I have."
Qin Nan said calmly.
Maybe when he saw the Magical Hair Sword God's hatred toward the South-Heaven Gate, his attitude toward him had changed subconsciously. He no longer felt such a stranger to him.
"Very well, I shall excuse myself."
The Magical Hair Sword God nodded, before his figure disappeared following a kick.
"Qin Nan, you must not expose yourself within the next half a year. The Monarch Ranking, the God Ranking and the South-Heaven Gate are surely suspicious of one another, but they won't suspect you for now. However, if you were exposed, they would surely find the truth and it would be very troublesome."
The mysterious young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion said with a stern expression.
"I know, but senior, are the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking and the South-Heaven Gate enemies of one another?"
Qin Nan asked after nodding his head.
Regarding the situation of the half-God region, he only knew the Three Great Factions, the Seven Forbidden Grounds, and the Eight Ancient Tribes. He was not too sure about the relationship between one another.
"Mm, for now they are hostile toward one another. Otherwise, the Canglan Continent would experience a real disaster."
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion said with a smile.
"A real disaster? Senior, I'm aware of the South-Heaven Gate's strength, but how about the cultivation of the Monarch Ranking and the God Ranking?"
Qin Nan revealed his doubts.
Being able to alter the rules of cultivation, was no longer something that a Martial God could do.
"The secrets about the Monarch Ranking, the God Ranking, and the South-Heaven Gate, the war fifteen thousand years ago, and the war eight thousand years ago, I'm not allowed to say anything about these to you. You will know them all once you’ve achieved the Martial Monarch Realm."
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion hesitated as he gave a deep gaze.
"But I can tell you one thing; fifteen thousand years ago, or in any other world, or even above the Nine Heavens, Martial Spirits are not needed for cultivation. You wouldn't need the Monarch Horoscopes or God Horoscopes to become a Martial Monarch or Martial God either."
