âMm? Whatâs happening?â Qin Nanâs eyes glittered. Before he had the time to take a closer look, a strange force encapsulated his figure and teleported him away.
As he left, the three intents of the Divine God of Battle floating in the air uttered soft laughs.
The laughter was filled with a hint of gratification and confidence.
âThank you.â
The illusionary figure of Sacred Leader Qinglong brought his fists together before the three figures vanished.
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
Whoosh!
Qin Nanâs consciousness returned to his body.
âWas it an illusion? No, that wasnât the case! The path was actually the Ancient Demon Path that will lead me to the legendary Nine Heavens!â Qin Nanâs eyes flickered. However, there were a few confusing questionsâWhy was he the only one that entered the drawing even though he had entered the temple with the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch?
Could I really proceed to the Nine Heavens with a mere cultivation of the first-layer Martial Progenitor Realm?
âDamn it, youâre back. You almost had me scared to death!â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch let out a relieved sigh after seeing Qin Nan return. He had almost lost his mind when he saw Qin Nan stepping onto the Ancient Demon Path.
âSeniorâ¦â Qin Nan was about to say something when the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch waved his hand and said, âItâs fine, our trip here to the Ancient Demon Abyss has come to an end. You wonât have any trouble finding your way out from here. My time is running out, so letâs focus on the matter on hand.â
Qin Nan straightened his face.
âThe artifact in the crystal case is named the âMountain-Suppressing Godly Orbâ, one that Iâve refined in the past. It has extraordinary power. You will know when you place it inside the Human Peak.â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said with a grin.
âThe Mountain-Suppressing Godly Orb? It can be merged with the Human Peak?â Qin Nanâs eyes flickered as great anticipation arose within his heart.
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was considered a legendary refiner. He might even be the best in the entire Canglan Continent.
âMm, Iâve got some advice for you too.â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch wore a thoughtful expression, âFirstly, try not to use the Heaven-Shattering Saber too often. Secondly, the same goes for the Six Martial Trees in your body, until youâve reached the Martial Monarch Realm, or in dire circumstances.â
Saying this, the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch hesitated before whispering, âBreaking the rules of cultivation might be good or bad. I believe you know about the half-God region, if your secrets are exposed, you couldnât imagine how hard they will try to kill you!â
âBefore reaching the Martial Monarch Realm?â
Qin Nanâs eyes glistened.
He had thought about it before, thus he had decided not to reveal his six Martial Trees easily. However, judging from the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarchâs tone, it was more serious than he had initially imagined.
âMm, keep that in mind, otherwise, no one will be able to save you.â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said, before he wore a grin as a sudden thought came to him, âIâm quite impressed with your performance. Consider this a compliment.â
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch reached out his palm and tapped at the eight skeletons, firing eight magical talismans into them.
BANG BANG BANGâ¦
Explosions took place within the eight skeletons, causing them to emit a magical aura, as if they were alive, but there was no sign of consciousness in them.
âDid the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch refine the eight skeletons?â Qin Nan was startled seeing this.
âThatâs right, Iâve refined them into skeleton soldiers. Even though they do not possess their own intelligence, they are capable of fighting.â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch chuckled, âThese are eight half-Martial God skeletons. Although their power is not as strong as before, you can still awaken their strength one day if you continue to refine them.â
âHalf-Martial God skeletons?â Qin Nan was dumbfounded.
Meanwhile, the entire temple and the dojo began to tremble.
âSheet, this place is about to go down. What does the Ancient Demon Path want exactly? Crap, itâs been so many years since I last talked with somebody. I was planning to enjoy my time more, forget it!â The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch turned toward Qin Nan and yelled, âKid, work hard! Iâll escort you out!â
Hearing this, Qin Nan quickly reached out his hand and stored the eight skeletons into his storage bag.
BANG!
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarchâs will exploded into a white glow that encapsulated Qin Nanâs figure and flew into the distance.
BANG!
As soon as they left, the dojo and the temple crumbled.
Inside the Ancient Demon Abyss, countless beings and demonic existences took a peek with their Divine Sense and were astounded. Obviously, they did not expect that sacred place to shatter into pieces one day.
âThat kidâ¦ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
However, without Qin Nan and the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch knowing, after they left, an ancient voice appeared in the midst of the explosion.
â¦â¦
â¦â¦
Qin Nan did not encounter any danger after leaving the Ancient Demon Path.
Half an hour later, the darkness before him cleared, replaced by the sunlight from above.
He had left the Ancient Demon Abyss and returned to the Skycloud Mountain Range.
âSenior, thank you! Iâll remember your words.â
Qin Nan took a deep breath and brought his hands together staring into the sky.
Although the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was kind of unique in terms of his personality and appearance, Qin Nan clearly knew that he had taken good care of him during their time together. Otherwise, he might not be able to find his way out.
âFor some reason, I felt different after the trip to the Ancient Demon Abyss.â
A moment later, Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and inspected his body.
It was not because he had acquired incredible loot from his adventure. It felt like something in his heart had been cleared.
âForget it, I should send a message to them.â Qin Nan took out a badge and transmitted his voice to the Third Prince. He had left for quite a while, thus they must be worried about his safety.
He quickly received a response.
âMm?â
Qin Nan was intrigued after reading it.
âQin Nan, come back to the Wuliang Mountain at once. I wonât be able to suppress the Law-Defying Qi any longer!â
Unable to suppress the Law-Defying Qi?
Qin Nanâs eyes flickered as he murmured, âIt seems like the Third Prince has successfully altered his destiny. However, it seems like he had purposely suppressed the Law-Defying Qi for me? This guyâ¦â
Qin Nan shook his head and headed straight for the Wuliang Mountain.
