"So this is the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain?"
"No, this should be the Guiding Lotus Pond, just like the Guiding Dojo."
"Is that the Ghost Sobbing Emperor Butterfly? Weren't these exotic beasts extinct in the ancient times? "
"Holy crap, the Underworld Emperor Five-Lightning Centipede? The Ageless Vulture? And is that the legendary Thought-Transforming Marquis? This... "
When Qin Nan and the others entered the entrance, they were teleported to an unfamiliar space by a powerful force. Before they could observe their surroundings, a series of astonished voices echoed in their ears.
"Mm? So many beasts! "
Qin Nan subconsciously glanced forward and immediately saw an ancient lotus pond covering an area with a circumference of over ten thousand li. The authorities of various factions, the genius Emperor Wu, and the rest of the rogue cultivators were gathered around the ancient lotus pond.
As for the pond water, there were many demonic beasts among the flowers.
Although these beasts were only Martial Ancestor or Martial Sacred Realm, Qin Nan had never seen their species before.
"It seems like the rumors are true. The master of this Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain has a strange habit of keeping rare beasts in captivity. Oh my, if I knew, I would have brought a few of them here. "
Princess Miaomiao could not help but murmur. She would occasionally glance at Xiao Yunjue and the people of the God Beast Forbidden Ground.
Should she find a chance to suppress Xiao Yunjue and give him to the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain after entering the inner part of the place?
After all, Xiao Yunjue's bloodline was extremely rare too.
"That young man, could he be Qin Nan?"
Among the crowd, Wan Fenghun, Jiang Kongzhou, Li Qimo, Wu Hong, and the others immediately noticed Qin Nan when Princess Miaomiao arrived.
They did have some impression of Qin Nan.
"That guy, is he somehow related to Princess Miaomiao?"
Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, and Vast Skythunder were startled.
"Humph, they are just acquaintances at most."
Blood Rune, Qilin Flame, and Vast Skythunder sneered again.
In their opinion, Qin Nan had at most coincidentally befriended Princess Miaomiao before he became a Martial Emperor. If they wanted to kill Qin Nan, Princess Miaomiao would definitely not stop them.
"Welcome, Fellow Daoists. Due to some special reasons, Master is unable to personally welcome all of you. Now, I will do it on his behalf."
At that instant, a loud roar could be heard coming from the distance. Following it, a middle-aged man wearing a beast robe with two scars on his forehead and a cultivation of the fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm landed in front of the ancient lotus pond.
"Isn't that the Soul-Devouring Great Emperor? He actually joined the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain? "
Many Martial Monarchs were startled when they saw the middle-aged man.
A few thousand years ago, this Soul-Devouring Great Emperor was infamous for doing many heartless things. Later, the authorities of the three great factions had set out to hunt him down, thus he had disappeared without a trace.
"I believe many of you have already discovered my identity, but that's all in the past. I'm now an elder of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain."
"Let's not waste any time. The Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain has been hidden for almost three thousand years. The situation inside is no longer the same as before."
"Master has opened the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain to select a successor. As such, I'm here to show you the map of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the rules inside."
The Soul-Devouring Great Emperor wore a smile.
"Oh?"
At that instant, even the peak Martial Monarchs raised their brows slightly.
They initially thought the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain would be the same as the other forbidden grounds. They only needed to overcome the obstacles to reach the deepest part.
Now that the map had been revealed, there must be something else going on.
"This is the map of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain. The ancient Thought-Transforming Marquis is the current location of the Skyless Dojo and master."
The Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch flicked his finger and summoned a giant map.
The map was circular in shape, with densely packed paths and more than three hundred dangerous places. As for the ancient Thought-Transforming Marquis, he was at the center of the map.
"The Skyless Dojo!"
The Martial Monarchs, the genius Emperor Wu, and Qin Nan fixed their eyes on the ancient Thought-Transforming Marquis.
The Skyless Dojo was the target of the authorities, as well as Qin Nan's target.
In this place, the rules of the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate could not be applied. Qin Nan only needed to ascend to the dojo to trigger the Tribulation and achieve the Martial Monarch Realm.
"I'd like to remind everyone that apart from the place where the ancient Thought Manifestation Marquis is, all the other paths and places of danger and treasure will change once every hour. Moreover, the changes are random."
"In simpler words, you might end up in a dangerous place after half an hour and be killed on the spot. You might also end up in a place filled with treasures and acquire an ancient succession. As for the deepest part... "
"That will depend on your luck."
The Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch's lips curled upward sinisterly.
"What?"
The cultivators at the scene, including the peak Martial Monarchs, were startled.
In a place like the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, even peak Martial Monarchs would die without a doubt if they entered the dangerous places.
According to the rules, if they were to rely on their luck, didn't that mean every one of them had a chance of dying?
"Don't worry, our master will not allow such ridiculous rules. Therefore, before entering the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain, we'll be taking a trial."
"The trial is called the Ranking. It consists of three upper grades and six lower grades, with the first grade being the highest."
"Those who achieve the first grade will only stumble into a dangerous place once when the map changes. Those who achieve the second grade will only stumble into a dangerous place twice. The number of times they stumble into a dangerous place will be calculated accordingly. "
"Apart from that, those in the upper grades will not die. Those in the lower grades will receive some hints when they stumble into a deadly situation, giving them a fifty percent chance of surviving. "
The smile on the Soul-Devouring Martial Monarch's face grew wider, as his eyes flickered with a faint green glow.
"Three upper grades and six lower grades? If that's the case, that's quite interesting! Even if you don't achieve the upper grades, and your cultivation is only in the Martial Ancestor Realm, you still have a great chance of reaching the deepest part. "
Everyone at the scene was no ordinary cultivator. In just a few breaths' time, they had sorted out the changes brought about by the rules in their minds.
"There's one more thing. Master's selection of his successor is different from the selection of the other forbidden grounds."
