Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
He did not expect the Anti-Heaven Alliance to make their move within the next three years.
The Anti-Heaven Alliance had only been established five years ago. Even if they were to make their move three years later, it would only be eight years since then.
The South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground were one entity. Attacking the South-Heaven Gate was the same as attacking the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which had at least ten thousand years of history in the Canglan Continent.
"I know you don't believe me, but I don't mind telling you, among the Martial Gods, no one would dare to claim to be the strongest if the Alliance Leader claimed to be the second strongest."
Yi Feng's eyes flickered with admiration.
"The strongest Martial God?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered.
It seemed like this Magical Hair Sword God was stronger than he had imagined.
"I'm willing to join the Anti-Heaven Alliance."
Qin Nan said in a calm tone.
Although he did not expect the Anti-Heaven Alliance to attack the South-Heaven Gate within three years, it was not a big deal for him to join, as he would be able to lend a hand if the Anti-Heaven Alliance were to make their move.
That being said, he would have to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on his own before the Anti-Heaven Alliance made their move.
Otherwise, he would not be qualified to take part in the battle.
Yi Feng wore a smile hearing this, "If you're willing, you should take part in the entrance trial."
"The entrance trial?" Qin Nan raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, the entrance trial is split into two stages. It doesn't matter if you're a three-starred enemy, a one-starred enemy, or a Martial Monarch Realm expert, you have to take part in it." Yi Feng explained, "Once you've completed the first stage, you can proceed to the Anti-Heaven Alliance for the second stage."
"I see." Qin Nan pondered for a moment before asking, "How does the trial work?"
"Qin Nan, I'm not sure about the first stage yet. After all, the Anti-Heaven Alliance is different from the other factions when it comes to recruiting disciples. We don't have a fixed location or time, thus we need to communicate with the higher-ups. You should rest here for now."
Yi Feng said while shaking his head.
"Alright."
Qin Nan nodded. Yi Feng handed Qin Nan a command medallion and left the courtyard. Qin Nan personally laid down a few terrifying restrictions before sitting down cross-legged and taking out the dagger.
To him, joining the Anti-Heaven Alliance was only the icing on the cake.
The most important thing was to fuse the Nine Trees.
"Bang!"
Qin Nan opened his palm, and the will of destruction swept out.
The entire glazed dagger instantly shattered and turned into dust. Only the nail-sized diamond-shaped wooden block remained unaffected.
"The piece of the Canglan Tree is indeed fascinating, but how am I supposed to refine it?"
Qin Nan furrowed his brows.
The Heaven Breaking Emperor gave him the ring, but he didn't tell him how to refine it.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Nan still had no clue. So, he decided not to think about it anymore. He squeezed out a drop of blood essence and dropped it on the rhombus-shaped block of wood.
However, the block of wood still showed no reaction.
Following this, Qin Nan used various methods, including various Monarch Arts, but the rhombus-shaped piece of wood remained as still as a mountain.
"Should I try slashing it with the Heaven-Shattering Saber?"
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind, but he quickly shook his head. It would be a great loss if he ended up destroying the piece of the Canglan Tree.
"The piece of the Canglan Tree isn't a treasure, nor is it a herb. Normal methods won't work. You should summon your Martial Tree and suppress it with force. It might sense the unique aura of your Martial Tree, thus the will of the Canglan Tree inside it might be awakened."
An icy voice appeared, which turned out to be the copper mirror.
"Thanks!"
Qin Nan was overjoyed, who immediately brought his fists together and said.
As usual, the copper mirror fell silent. She was too lazy to waste her time talking to Qin Nan. If she wasn't curious about how the nine Martial Trees would merge into one through the Canglan Tree, she would not even give Qin Nan any advice.
Qin Nan was already used to her attitude. He immediately unleashed the nine Martial Trees without hesitation.
"Suppress."
With a thought, Qin Nan commanded the nine Martial Trees to spit out wisps of Monarch Art intent onto the rhombus-shaped block of wood with a terrifying force.
BANG.
A strange explosion took place.
It was incredibly loud and terrifying, but upon taking a closer look, it felt like there was no sound at all.
"It's working."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered as the nine Martial Trees descended once again.
A series of strange explosions took place, as tiny cracks began to appear on the rhombus-shaped block of wood.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), but it was also incomparably deep and pure green.
After suppressing the block for ninety-nine times, the rhombus-shaped block of wood suddenly emitted a tremendous green glow, which transformed into a giant mouth that bit in Qin Nan's direction. Qin Nan was startled. He tried to defend himself, but it was already too late. He could only watch himself being devoured.
Whoosh.
Qin Nan could only feel his body shuddering as his surroundings became different.
It was obvious that he had arrived at a different space.
Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and subconsciously raised his head. However, his eyes were filled with great astonishment following a glimpse.
His surroundings were pitch-black and boundless, as if he was deep in a rift.
At the end of the rift stood an unimaginably huge tree. Its countless branches and leaves stood in all directions. Its brilliant green glow felt like it was going to light up the entire world.
It was no longer a tree. It was a god, a world.
Qin Nan was like a speck of dust before it.
"So... this is the Canglan Tree?"
Qin Nan withheld the astonishment in his heart and blurted out.
If he had not experienced the suppression of the Divine God of Battle, he would most likely have fainted by now.
"No, this is only an illusory figure formed by a strand of my will." An ancient and sonorous voice that sounded like the opening of the heavens resounded in the endless darkness.
"Only a wisp of your will?"
Qin Nan's heart skipped a beat.
If a mere wisp of the will was already so impressive, how spectacular would it be if it was the real thing?
Did it really exist in the Canglan Continent, connecting the Nine Heavens?
"You're not the person I'm looking for. Why have you awakened my will?"
The will of the Canglan Tree spoke once again. A great pressure gathered above Qin Nan, as if it was trying to suppress Qin Nan.
"Senior, I have nine Martial Trees. In order to merge them into one, I'll need the help of the pieces of the Canglan Tree."
Qin Nan collected his thoughts and spoke the truth.
"What a joke!" To his surprise, the will of the Canglan Tree was infuriated as it snapped, "Trying to merge with me with mere Martial Trees? In your dreams! Besides, you've used your nine Martial Trees to suppress me. You've committed a great sin. I'll shatter your nine Martial Trees and absorb them! "
