Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 970 - The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain

In the Dao Origin Crystal, the Martial Tree behind Qin Nan unleashed a destructive aura, spreading into the surroundings like the tides of an ocean.

Qin Nan had spent two entire days immersing himself in the Monarch Art.

The will of destruction inside the Martial Tree suddenly grew stronger, causing it to glow brightly like a huge sun. Even the Dao Origin Crystal began to tremble.

The Art of Destruction, capable of destroying everything and every law.

“It’s done!”

Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open as he tapped forward with his finger.

The space around ten meters in front of the Dao Origin Crystal turned into countless squares the size of a palm and crumbled, causing strong winds to appear from the cracks.

“I’ve achieved the third-layer.”

Qin Nan wore a calm expression.

The second-layer was destroying objects, while the third-layer was collapsing.

As the name suggested, the second-layer was capable of destroying objects, but the third-layer was able to collapse Martial Arts, artifacts, etc.

The power of the Art of Destruction only stood out after reaching the third-layer.

“Time to head to the Quest Hall.” Qin Nan rose from the ground and silently left the Human Peak using the rift.

As usual, the Quest Hall was extremely crowded with people.

Qin Nan stood in the corner while reading the red-lettered quests displayed on the board.

“The Immortal Mist Sect has activated the Heart-Illusion Path, inviting all cultivators to participate in it. Any disciple who’s interested can represent the Dragon Emperor Clan, but only five people at most can take part. Only inner disciples ranked in the top two thousand on the Monarch Ranking are allowed. After receiving the quest, head over to the First Elder to ask for the talisman to guarantee your safety.”

“The Heartless Sect has activated the Heartless Mystical Ground, inviting the genius disciples of Two-Starred Factions to take part in it. Anyone interested can represent the Dragon Emperor Clan; only three spots are available for inner disciples who are ranked in the top one thousand!”

“It’s said that the rare phenomenon of ten suns falling from the sky was observed at the Evening Ocean. It’s possible that the succession of the Evening Martial Monarch from five thousand years ago has appeared. Disciples are allowed to compete for it, but the team must consist of at least five people, with at least one of them ranked in the top five hundred.”

“……”

Most of the quests were related to the Two-Starred Factions activating their mystical grounds.

The reason being that the Monarch Horoscope Contest was approaching, thus the factions were aiming to help their disciples grow rapidly.

Most of the factions had chosen extraordinary places to build their bases, for example the Immortal Mist Sect had built their base on the Heart-Illusion Mountain, the Heartless Sect had picked the Heartless Ice Valley, etc., which were incredible cultivation grounds.

Therefore, over the past few thousand years, many Two-Starred Factions had reached a verdict that whenever they activated the best mystical ground of their faction, the other factions were allowed to send a few disciples to take part in it, with their safety guaranteed.

“Going to the other factions are quite interesting, but it doesn’t really suit me.” Qin Nan shook his head.

He had initially planned to specifically look for forbidden areas.

These places had certain chances of containing the third piece of treasure left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch. Furthermore, some of the successions were quite incredible too.

The reason why he had decided not to bring the others was because Qin Nan had decided to venture deep into the forbidden areas. It would be difficult to look after them when danger arrived.

At that instant, the special badge given to him by the Shadow Pagoda began to glow brightly.

“What happened? Why is the Shadow Pagoda trying to contact me?” Qin Nan was startled as he took a look at its contents.

A voice appeared from the badge, “As requested by the first inner disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect, Tang Qingshan, here is a message for Cultivator Qin Nan: Qin Nan, please pay a visit to the Heaven-Saber Sect.”

“Heaven-Saber Sect? What does senior want?”

Qin Nan frowned.

He clearly knew that he was listed as a silver-grade enemy by the Heaven-Saber Sect.

Meanwhile, another red-lettered quest was displayed.

“The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain of the Heaven-Saber Sect has been activated. Only one inner disciple ranked in the top five hundred is allowed to take part. Since the Heaven-Saber Sect has always been hostile toward our Dragon Emperor Clan, the disciple must ask for a protective talisman from the First Elder!”

Many disciples shook their heads after reading the details of the quest.

The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain was a great place but it was too dangerous, thus none of them were willing to take the risk.

“Could the senior be referring to this Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain?”

Qin Nan instantly came to a realization. He took out the All-Knowing Scroll and began reading.

Normally, Tang Qingshan would not try so hard to contact him unless it was something urgent.

Following this, Qin Nan learned the news regarding the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain.

“Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain, the mystical ground of the Heaven-Saber Sect. At the peak of the mountain are nine ancient sabers and nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine magical sabers. No one knew where the sabers have come from, but each of them possesses a great power, capable of improving one’s strength. Therefore, countless saber artists would be attracted each time the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain is activated. Currently, one of the nine ancient sabers has been taken.”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.

He finally understood why Tang Qingshan would contact him as the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain was activated.

The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain was similar to the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault of the Dao-Seeking Mountain. The only difference was that the treasure inside the Dao-Seeking Treasure Vault was the Heaven-Shattering Saber, which had been specifically waiting for Qin Nan.

“Since I have the Heaven-Shattering Saber, with its power, I can easily retrieve a significant amount of sabers, or even the ancient sabers. It’s worth it to have a try.” Qin Nan instantly made up his mind and accepted the quest under the astonished gaze from the crowd.

That being said, he was satisfied with the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

He was planning to retrieve some of the sabers to sell them for a good price.

As soon as Qin Nan exited the Quest Hall, the voice of the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast echoed in his head, “Qin Nan, I don’t really care where you go, but why the Heaven-Saber Sect of all places? Don’t you know that you’re currently classified as a top three silver-grade enemy?”

“Is that so?” Qin Nan was startled, before he said, “Senior, I must go to the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain. Don’t worry, it won’t be a problem.”

“Not a problem? I’m afraid the Heaven-Saber Sect would try their best to make it a problem.” The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast felt a headache, “Forget it, the Heaven-Saber Sect wouldn’t try anything too crazy. If there’s anything, remember to contact us with your badge.”

“Thanks, senior.”

Qin Nan let out a smile.

He knew there would be some danger in his trip, but it would not be too big of a problem since Senior Tang Qingshan had contacted him.

…Meanwhile, at a mysterious place deep inside the Dragon Emperor Clan…

“That kid really decided to go.” The clone of the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast was left speechless.

“It’s fine, let him have his own adventure, it’s the path that he has chosen. He only has himself to blame if he somehow dies.” The Dragon Emperor paused before adding, “However, if something he did urged those idiots to trouble our Dragon Emperor Clan, maybe it’s time for us to exercise a little.”

He squinted after finishing the sentence.

It was as if he could still clearly recall the scene where Qin Nan had just joined the Dragon Emperor Clan and had moved the Dao Origin Crystal away.
