After leaving the Star Aligning Palace, Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and activated the Seven Luminaries Sword Talisman.
He had to use the talisman to leave the Anti-Heaven Alliance.
Following this, Qin Nan vanished into thin air as a formidable sword intent encapsulated his figure.
A few breaths later, on the street of a nameless city, under the astounded gazes of many cultivators, Qin Nan's figure appeared out of nowhere.
"This Seven Luminaries Flying Sword is fascinating indeed, it even erased my South-Heaven Seal."
Qin Nan glanced at his chest and asked the other cultivators about his current location. He then took out the scroll that Gong Yang had given him.
After confirming his destination, Qin Nan's figure turned into a ray of light with a kick and disappeared into the rift.
The half-God region was different than the Middle Continent. It did not have a hub like the Middle Sector City, thus he could only travel on his own.
Time gradually passed. Two days were gone in the blink of an eye.
"So this is the Heavenly Fortune Mountain Range?"
Qin Nan halted in the air and glanced into the distance.
Below him was a vast desert with countless gusts of wind. However, in the distance, a few mountains suddenly appeared and clustered together, forming a continuous mountain range. It was like a curtain rising from the ground, blocking the view of the desert.
In addition to that, in the sky far away in the desert, there were several powerful auras, or strange-looking ships, giant swords, etc. flying toward the center of the mountain range at a rapid pace.
Despite the great distance, Qin Nan could faintly see an ancient glow flickering in the middle of the mountain range.
That place was most likely the entrance to the Ancient Battleground.
"Let's head there first."
Qin Nan immediately executed the Immortal Appearance-Changing Art and transformed into 'Duan Qing' before flying into the mountain range.
The reason for his decision was that the entrance to the Ancient Battleground would attract quite a number of people from the Eight Ancient Tribes and the Three Great Factions. If someone were to discover his identity, the Martial Monarchs of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would most likely hunt him down.
According to Qin Nan's plan, once he entered the Ancient Battleground, he would transform into his true self and use himself as bait to lure the people of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground to hunt him down.
After flying for half an hour in the mountain range, Qin Nan finally came to a stop.
Fifty li in front of him, a magnificent, godly ray of light shrouded the entire mountain that was more than ten thousand zhang tall.
Within it, a formless pressure was emitted, causing others to feel restraining fear, not daring to approach at all.
On the peak of the mountain stood a mysterious white door of light that was five hundred feet tall and three hundred feet wide. It contained countless auras.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
If he was not mistaken, the white door had also appeared at the Heavenly Fortune Path of the Eastern Continent.
"Judging from the current situation, it seems like this white light door is somehow related to the mysterious Madam Heavenly Fortune."
Qin Nan murmured. He then activated his left eye and scanned the area ahead.
With a rough glance, he could sense at least a few thousand auras of the Martial Ancestor Realm around the mountain.
Most of the auras belonged to rogue cultivators, while the people of the Eight Ancient Tribes, the Six Great Forbidden Grounds, and the Three Great Factions were extremely rare. Only a few of them had relatively weak cultivations.
On top of that, at the bottom of the mountain were twenty-five palaces covered in forbidding auras. Each palace was occupied by quite a number of cultivators.
It was obvious that these palaces were temporary inns and hotels built by the cultivators.
"That's strange, why aren't the people of the factions here yet?"
Qin Nan frowned. He pondered for a moment before heading toward one of the palaces.
He did not know much about the current situation, thus he would be able to gather a lot of information in an inn like this.
The inn that Qin Nan entered had four floors. The number of cultivators drinking in it was the highest among the other inns. There were around a hundred of them, and most of them had powerful auras with concealed murderous intents, thus they were not to be underestimated.
Qin Nan casually ordered a jar of magical wine and found a corner to sit down and listen in silence.
After half the period it took an incense to burn, Qin Nan's eyes flickered with excitement.
Just a moment ago, he had learned a few important pieces of information.
The Ancient Battleground would be accessible tomorrow.
In addition to that, only the Lower Arcana would be accessible at the beginning. The Upper Arcana would only be accessible after three days.
Normally, the disciples and authorities of the factions would enter the place at this time, as it was a waste of time for them to enter the Lower Arcana.
As for now, the disciples of the factions that had arrived were mostly those with weaker cultivations who had yet to acquire a Seven Slaughter Talisman.
"If that's the case, I'll find some Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits in the Lower Arcana and try to get a Seven Slaughter Talisman before the factions enter the place..."
Qin Nan made up his mind.
At that instant, a few voices suddenly caught Qin Nan's attention.
"Sigh, I wonder if I'll have a chance to get a Seven Slaughter Talisman this year. Otherwise, I'll have to find more Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits."
"Let's work together then."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Are you going to take part in the Battle for the Map tomorrow?"
"Battle for the Map? Cultivator, it's my first time here at the Ancient Battleground. Can you tell me what the Battle for the Map is? "
The middle-aged man said in a serious tone when he heard the question, "The Battle for the Map is just a name. In the past, every time the Ancient Battleground was opened, a person called the Ugly Crow Daoist would come here to sell the maps of the Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits."
"HAHA, that's right, this Ugly Crow Daoist is extremely mysterious. Even though his cultivation is not as strong as the Martial Monarch Realm, he's quite remarkable. Besides, he has a rule that he only sells a hundred maps each time."
"Among the hundred maps, five of them are golden maps, while the other ninety-five are ordinary maps. In the past, many cultivators managed to find a huge amount of Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits with the help of the golden maps. "
"Cultivator, I don't think that's the right thing to say. It's not like you can find a huge amount of Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits in the golden maps every time. Some people have failed a few times, but those from the ordinary maps still managed to find a huge amount of Heavenly Arcana Spiritual Fruits."
"That's only the minority. By the way, I almost forgot to mention, if you want to take part in the Battle for the Map, you'll have to pay the Ugly Crow Daoist two thousand G.o.d Stones."
As the middle-aged man and the other cultivators discussed, the details of the Battle for the Map became clearer.
"Humph, G.o.d Stones? I won't pay the G.o.d Stones. As long as the Ugly Crow Daoist shows me the map, I'll rob it right away. "A young man sitting on the third floor of the inn with a prideful look said all of a sudden.
"Kid, don't talk nonsense if you don't know anything. In the past, every time the Ancient War took place, there would always be cultivators trying to rob the map. Guess what happened next?" A blue-haired old man said calmly.
"What happened? They all died? "The proud young man frowned.
"Wrong. After the Ancient Battleground ended, all of these cultivators disappeared mysteriously. Later on, someone discovered that they were all transformed into human-shaped ancient trees by some terrifying secret technique and planted on this mountain. Now, there are at least seventy to eighty of them." The blue-haired old man laughed coldly.
"This..."
In addition to the proud young man, many cultivators were startled too.
"The Ugly Crow Daoist?"
Qin Nan's lips curled upward. This was getting interesting.
