Eighty breaths later, Qin Nan arrived at a mysterious place in the Star-Devouring Space under the guidance of the ancient scabbard.
In front of him stood the Sun and Moon Sword God in the air with a magnificent aura. In front of him stood a giant pitch-black door over fifty zhang tall. Inside the door stood a twisted black glow with flickering runes. It was impossible to see clearly. Wisps of black light were emitted from the door, which penetrated the rift nearby. If they were given enough time, the whole place would be dyed in darkness.
"Let's go inside."
The Sun and Moon Sword God said. He waved his hand and withdrew the scabbard before stepping into the door.
Even though Qin Nan had many questions in his mind, he did not overthink it and followed the Sun and Moon Sword God.
After stepping into the door, Qin Nan could feel his figure shuddering. It felt like a giant hand had reached out from nowhere, grabbing his figure and bringing him to an unfamiliar place. When his feet landed on the ground, he could feel a great chill rising in his heart.
Qin Nan's figure tensed instinctively. He activated his left eye and glanced ahead.
With a single glance, even with his mental fortitude, he was still greatly impacted.
In front of him and the Sun and Moon Sword God was a path emitting a rotten aura, as if it had come from an ancient battlefield. On both sides of the path floated thirty-six ancient palaces, tombs, and cemeteries over a few hundred zhang tall and wide. Each entrance had a ten-zhang long wooden plaque, each with a few ancient words written on it!
They were the tombs of the Inner Demon Martial Monarch, the Soul-Sacrifice Martial Monarch, the Forbidden Magic Martial Monarch, the Heaven-Transformation Martial Monarch, the Heaven-Destruction Martial Monarch, the Wicked Hatchet Martial Monarch, the Heaven-Cycle Martial Monarch, etc.
The thirty-six palaces, tombs, and cemeteries were all the tombs of the Martial Monarchs!
In addition to that, deep inside the path were five towering mountains over a few thousand zhang tall. Although they were shrouded in a white mist, making it impossible to see them clearly, they somehow felt more intimidating than the tombs of the thirty-six Martial Monarchs!
Weng!
All of a sudden, the formations in the eight Martial Monarch tombs were activated on their own. A faint, terrifying aura burst out from the tombs, as if the thirty-six Martial Monarchs were still alive, and were about to awaken!
"This is …"
Qin Nan's eyes revealed a hint of surprise!
This was because he saw a majestic life force!
Did that mean the thirty-six Martial Monarchs were still alive?
"The thirty-six Martial Monarchs are indeed dead, but their flesh is perfectly preserved. On top of that, with the Disaster Martial God's law-defying means, even after fifteen thousand years, only a little of their will has dissipated. They are still extremely strong."
The Sun and Moon Sword God said calmly.
"Fifteen thousand years ago? Were they the Great Emperors from fifteen thousand years ago? In other words, they all achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on their own? "
When Qin Nan heard this, he immediately thought of a problem.
He remembered the Sun and Moon Sword God mentioning that fifteen thousand years ago, the cultivators of the Canglan Continent were able to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own.
"Not really, as they did not manage to refine the Dao Pattern fifteen thousand years ago. Besides, after the great change that took place fifteen thousand years ago, they were suppressed too."
The Sun and Moon Sword God shook his head.
"So it turns out that to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on their own, they would need to refine the Dao Pattern."
Qin Nan mumbled to himself. He could not help but exclaim as if he had just recalled something.
He finally realized why the Six Great Forbidden Grounds were only second to the Three Great Factions. As a matter of fact, the Six Great Forbidden Grounds were even stronger than the Three Great Factions in the ancient era.
A single Martial Monarch Tomb contained thirty-six Martial Monarchs. Even though these Martial Monarchs were all dead, their wills still remained, and their flesh was perfectly fine, allowing them to continue fighting.
Besides, this was only a part of the Wretched Disaster Forest.
"Senior, where are the pieces of the Canglan Tree?"
Qin Nan withdrew his thoughts and asked.
"Qin Nan, first of all, it's going to be difficult to get the pieces of the Canglan Tree. I won't be able to provide you with much help. You'll have to rely on yourself."
The Sun and Moon Sword God frowned and said as a thought crossed his mind.
"Senior, you've already helped me a lot by bringing me here."
Qin Nan shook his head and said.
The Sun and Moon Sword God obviously had his own reasons for not bringing him to the pieces of the Canglan Tree. Besides, the Sun and Moon Sword God had indeed helped him a lot along the way.
For example, without the Sword God's help, he would not have been able to enter the Martial Monarch Tomb.
"At the end of the path, there's a boulder.
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page), it is called the Ancient Heaven Stone Tablet. When the time comes, place your hand on it and test it. If you pass the test, the master of one of the five mountains will give you the pieces of the Canglan Tree. "
"Of course, after you get the pieces of the Canglan Tree, you'll have to help the master of the mountain complete a quest."
The Sun and Moon Sword God pointed forward. His deep eyes glanced at the five magnificent mountains, as if he was looking into the eyes of the mysterious existence in the mountains.
"Oh?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered.
It was completely different from what he had expected. He did not expect to be tested again.
"Forget it, it doesn't matter."
Qin Nan shook his head to clear his thoughts. With a kick, he flew forward.
Even though he had many doubts in his mind, either way, his first priority was to acquire the pieces of the Canglan Tree.
After flying for a few breaths, Qin Nan slowly came to a stop.
As he expected, at the end of the path stood a ten zhang tall boulder. The boulder was covered in ancient marks, as if it had been attacked by countless powerful artifacts.
Qin Nan took a deep breath to calm his thoughts. He went forward and placed his hand on the boulder.
As he was about to take the test, at the back of the path...
"HAHA, take a guess, how far do you think the kid will go? In my opinion, it should be the Dharma Rare Phenomenon! "
A burst of laughter could be heard coming from the Heart Demon Martial Monarch's tomb.
"The Dharma Rare Phenomenon should be quite difficult, right? That Zhuang Cidao and Su Qingning, the two geniuses who had surpassed the rules of cultivation, and the successors of the Wretched Disaster Forest, had only achieved the Dharma Contending Realm. "
A doubtful voice could be heard coming from the Soul-Sacrificing Martial Monarch's tomb.
"Soul-Sacrificing, I don't think so. Didn't Senior Sun and Moon Sword God mention that the kid has two Martial Trees and has refined the Dao Pattern? His Martial Skill Talent is outstanding too. His result will surely surpass Zhuang Cidao, Su Qingning, and the successors."
A voice could be heard coming from the Mystical Forbidden Martial Monarch's tomb.
"In my opinion, it should be the Dharma Rare Phenomenon."
"The kid's Martial Skill Talent and Martial Skill Attainment greatly surpass theirs."
"HAHA, that's right, Soul-Sacrificing Martial Monarch, you've misjudged him."
