After the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch left, on a nameless mountain...
Qin Nan and Princess Miaomiao halted in their tracks as they sensed something. They exchanged glances with one another and burst out laughing after a few moments. The tense atmosphere completely dissipated.
"Phew, this Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch is quite ferocious, even the Princess was scared by him."
Princess Miaomiao reached out her hand and patted her chest.
"The Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch is indeed impressive."
Qin Nan nodded.
Even though he would grow stronger as the battle progressed, and he still had the mysterious golden seal that he had yet to use, and Princess Miaomiao had yet to use her strongest trump card, thus they could escape safely without relying on the mountain. However, he could not help but admit that the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch's strength had exceeded his expectations.
In Qin Nan's eyes, those who achieved the Martial Monarch Realm by inheriting Monarch Horoscopes were considered fake Martial Monarchs, thus their strength would not be too terrifying.
However, Qin Nan now realized that even a fake Martial Monarch would possess monarch force, which was incomparable to a cultivator in the Martial Ancestor Realm.
"I have the copper mirror to protect my Divine Sense, the Divine Battle Spirit to protect my soul, and my left arm to resist every attack. My defense is quite outstanding, but my strength is still lacking. I might be able to injure a first-layer Martial Monarch, but I won't be able to harm a second-layer Martial Monarch..."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself.
If he wanted to challenge a second-layer Martial Monarch with his current cultivation, he would have to improve his strength significantly.
That being said, if his thoughts were made known to the half-God region, it would most likely result in countless cultivators cursing him.
It was already shocking enough that he was able to escape from the pursuit of a second-layer Martial Monarch.
And now, Qin Nan was planning to challenge a second-layer Martial Monarch with his cultivation of the Martial Ancestor Realm.
Among the countless geniuses on the Canglan Path, even the three geniuses who had surpassed the rules of cultivation would not be able to do it.
The difference between the Great Emperor and the Martial Ancestor was so great that it was impossible to measure.
"Qin Nan, Nan, this mountain is very mysterious, and it helped us once. Why don't you accompany me to take a look?" Princess Miaomiao had a crafty look in her eyes.
"Yes."
Qin Nan nodded in agreement.
Now that he had no clue where to look for the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruit, he might as well explore this mountain range.
After that, Qin Nan and Li Wuyou flew towards the depths of the mountain range.
As they ventured deeper, even Qin Nan wore an astounded look.
This was because along the way, Princess Miaomiao had discovered many rare and valuable treasures.
They had yet to reach the depths, and it was already like this. Then, what would the depths be like?
All of a sudden, Qin Nan halted in his tracks as his eyes were filled with astonishment.
That was because the ring on his finger was shining with a ray of light.
The ray of light was completely different than the one he had seen when he had encountered the Canglan Tree Pattern. It was denser and more solid.
"What's wrong?" Princess Miaomiao asked.
"Gasp …" Qin Nan took a deep breath and said, "There's a piece of the Canglan Tree deep inside the mountain range that I'm looking for."
Even Qin Nan could no longer remain calm at that instant. His eyes burned passionately as his heart pounded rapidly.
He had only come to the Ancient Battleground to look for the Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits. He had never thought of looking for a piece of the Canglan Tree.
And now, the chance had presented itself.
"There's a piece of the Canglan Tree here?"
Princess Miaomiao was startled.
As the successor of the Lost Herb Garden, she was extremely familiar with the Canglan Tree.
If one were to follow the traces, they would discover that the Lost Herb Garden was somehow related to the Canglan Tree in the past.
"Tsk tsk, how did you know there's a piece of the Canglan Tree here? Is it because of the ring?"
At that instant, a voice came from the woods.
"Who's there?"
Qin Nan and Princess Miaomiao were startled.
The person was clearly no ordinary person if he was able to remain undetected in the woods.
"Qin Nan, we meet again."
Following a whoosh, a figure appeared from the woods.
The person who came was a young man. He had a pair of peach blossom eyes that flowed with a watery light, captivating one's mind. His complexion was abnormally white, like white jade. He wore a green robe, making people feel that he was exceptionally handsome.
"Are you … the Ugly Crow Daoist?"
Qin Nan took a closer look, before his eyes flickered with astonishment.
The person before him had the same aura as the Ugly Crow Daoist.
However, wasn't the Ugly Crow Daoist a woman? How did she turn into a man?
"Don't look at me like that. My name is Wang Zhao, and I'm a real man. People call me Master Wang, but you can call me Master Wang too!"
Blue veins popped out on Wang Zhao's forehead.
Qin Nan's gaze immediately reminded him of a nightmarish memory.
Five days ago, before the Ancient Battleground was opened, Wang Zhao had learned a secret art to sneak into the Ancient Battleground in advance.
However, he was stopped by the Ugly Crow Daoist. In a fit of rage, Wang Zhao had turned the Ugly Crow Daoist into ashes.
To his surprise, the Ugly Crow Daoist had become the envoy of the Ancient Battleground due to the wicked taste of a certain authority. Every fifty years, the Ugly Crow Daoist would hand out a hundred ancient maps for the cultivators to participate in.
As the Ugly Crow Daoist was dead, the mysterious force left by the authority of the Ancient Battleground was triggered, which forced Wang Zhao into the Ugly Crow Daoist's body and turned her into a seductive woman to distribute the ancient maps.
As for the promise of spending the night together, Wang Zhao had purposely said it out loud to tease the cultivators.
"Mm, there's something strange about this guy, he's not human …"
Princess Miaomiao murmured.
"You're the one that's not human, your whole family is not human!" Wang Zhao's face darkened. He took a deep breath and said coldly as a sudden thought crossed his mind, "I won't waste my time with you. I'm the successor of the Canglan Tree, Wang Zhao! Qin Nan, hand over the pieces of the Canglan Tree and the treasures you've obtained from the Lower Arcana! "
Wang Zhao had purposely given Qin Nan the ancient map when he was still the Ugly Crow Daoist.
Firstly, he was probing Qin Nan. Secondly, he was giving Qin Nan the real map so that Qin Nan could help him find the treasures, so he could rob them all at once.
Qin Nan's eyes flickered upon hearing this.
The successor of the Canglan Tree, the Spirit of the Canglan Tree had mentioned him before. He did not expect to stumble into him here.
As a result, all the doubts in Qin Nan's mind were resolved.
"Mm, are you trying to rob me?"
Princess Miao Miao's lips curled upward into a beautiful grin.
Although this fellow was ugly, his guts were not small.
"Hehe, don't try to seduce me with your beauty, I hate women the most! Qin Nan, I'm telling you, the others might be afraid of your seven Martial Trees, but I, Wang Zhao, am the successor of the Canglan Tree. I have countless forbidden techniques, killing you is simply … f * * k me! "
Wang Zhao's aura was like a rainbow, and his face was full of arrogance as he threatened. However, before he could finish, his expression changed and he cursed.
A strange gust of wind suddenly appeared and penetrated Wang Zhao's body at a shocking pace.
The gust of wind was none other than the Wind God's Spirit that the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch had unleashed.
The Wind God's Spirit was supposed to arrive and attack Qin Nan. However, under the influence of the strange force of the mountain, the God-Sealing Spirit was greatly affected.
Under a freak combination of factors, the attack even hit Wang Zhao.
