"Cultivator Lin Xiaozhi, you are currently in room number nine on the first floor of the Martial Palace. There are a hundred and eight different Arts of the Ruler Realm here. You are allowed to choose ten of them to read. It's up to you whether you can pass the trial or not. "
At that instant, an aged voice could be heard.
"I've entered the Martial Palace of the Martial Palace?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
Following this, it was as if a supreme existence had fired a ray of light into the room, which transformed into a screen with lines of flamboyant words on it.
Qin Nan quickly lifted his gaze.
"Five Arts of the Great Yin Lightning, the lightning of the Heavens and Earth is split into Yin and Yang. The Yang Lightning is imperious, while the Yin Lightning attacks the heart and soul. This art …"
"Nine Netherworld Sword Art, thirty-three layers of the Heavens, eighteen layers of the Earth, nine layers of the Earth! The force of the Underworld is on par with the force of the Heavens … "
"The Art of Reversing Time! There are countless rules in the Heavens and Earth. The rules of time and space are one of the major rules! If you can trace the past and reverse the Heavens and Earth … "
Each line of words was an Art of the Ruler Realm.
"The Holy Heaven Martial Sect is really generous! This isn't just a trial, it's a great opportunity too! "
Qin Nan exclaimed.
The Arts of the Ruler Realm were not something that could only be executed by a Ruler Realm expert. Only a Ruler Realm expert could utilize the Arts of the Ruler Realm to maximize their strength.
A Ruler Realm expert's Art of the Ruler Realm or the Heaven Highness Art was either weaker or stronger than their own strength. It was unlikely that the Arts of the Ruler Realm were suitable for them.
Only the Arts of the Ruler Realm that were suitable for them would be the strongest.
However, in the Great Upper Realm, there were relatively few Overlord Techniques in the Great Upper Realm.
It was even more difficult for a rogue cultivator like Qin Nan to learn the Arts of the Ruler Realm without the support of a formidable faction.
The Arts that Qin Nan had learned were derived from the Arts of Dao Seeking.
Qin Nan quickly calmed his thoughts and focused his attention on the light screen.
He was only allowed to pick ten out of the one hundred and eight Arts of the Ruler Realm. There must be something fishy about it.
"Hmm?"
After about a hundred breaths, Qin Nan frowned slightly.
He checked them back and forth several times, but found that there was no connection between them.
"From the looks of it, it doesn't matter which ten techniques you choose. The secrets to breaking through should be hidden in those ten techniques. "
Qin Nan said in his heart. Without any hesitation or struggle, he began to make his choice.
His first choice was the Reverse Direction Technique.
This technique involved the Power of Time and Space. In the entire Primary Upper Realm, it could be said to be extremely rare.
Of the remaining nine, Qin Nan chose three saber arts, one soul art, and five other rarer arts.
"Now, start comprehending!"
According to the instructions of the light curtain, Qin Nan took the jade slips from the bookshelf, and his mind immediately sank into them.
For most cultivators, the process of comprehending a technique was undoubtedly painful. However, for Qin Nan, it was a pleasure.
Time gradually passed. Ten days were gone in the blink of an eye.
During this time, the third stage of the trial had come to an end.
Ji Xuan and Gu Fei failed to pass the second stage, thus they were disqualified seven days ago. They had no choice but to take part in the fourth stage with Mingchu Progenitor.
In the third stage, only the Ruler of Heart, Chen Fenghuo, and Qin Nan were trying to break through to the next level.
As such, when Elder Zuo announced their names to the participants of the trial, Chen Fenghuo and Lin Xiaozhi's names were immediately known by everyone.
Lin Xiaozhi, in particular, had 'invented' a Martial Skill. Even the Ruler of Heart was impressed by it, and had asked him to teach it to him.
The rumors about Lin Xiaozhi's Martial Talent became even more exaggerated. Some even said that Lin Xiaozhi's Martial Talent had surpassed the Ruler of Heart, and was on par with Zhou Di, Cang, and the others.
As for Chen Fenghuo, the rumors about him were not so good. Most people felt that this person had relied on an extremely powerful background to make Chen Fenghuo make an exception. His own martial talent was really ordinary.
Not long after, the fourth stage of the trial began.
The results of the Ruler of Heart, Chen Fenghuo, and Qin Nan were still unclear. If they did not break through to the next level after the results were out, they would have to take part in the fourth stage.
As for Qin Nan, he had learned a lot in the past ten days.
He kept up the pace of learning one magical technique per day as he thoroughly comprehended each of the ten magical techniques he had chosen.
By the evening of the tenth day, he had completely comprehended the first technique he had chosen, the Reverse Direction Technique.
"This Martial Art is most likely comparable to the Martial Arts of some Heaven Highnesses. If I'm able to master it, I can predict the situation within a hundred breaths within ten thousand li. It's extremely useful in a battle … "
Qin Nan exclaimed in his heart.
"But …"
"I've already comprehended the ten Martial Arts. Why haven't I found a way to pass the trial yet?"
Qin Nan frowned slightly.
"If there's no reaction after comprehending the Martial Arts, I guess I'll have to execute them one by one."
Qin Nan soon thought of a possibility. He sat down with his legs crossed and unleashed the power of rules in his body.
"Art of Reversal!"
He performed a series of hand seals, unleashing a faint ripple in all directions.
"Art of Sweeping Saber!"
"Five Arts of the Great Yin Thunder!"
Qin Nan executed the Martial Arts one after another.
When he unleashed the tenth Gate, an incomparably shocking scene occurred.
Room A9 began to tremble. Every bookcase in the room began to turn transparent. The scrolls on them began to break into pieces and turn into light dots.
BANG!
All of a sudden, everything shattered completely.
The room no longer existed, as it was replaced by darkness. Qin Nan sat in the darkness with his legs crossed.
The hundred and eight jade slips shattered into specks of light that gathered together and continued to evolve in the darkness before finally turning into a picture.
"Mm? Is this … "
Qin Nan glanced at it and was soon attracted by the pattern. He was completely immersed in it.
"Got it!"
Around a thousand breaths later, Qin Nan's eyes flickered. Translator: XephiZ Editor: DOCuinn
Chapter 2405 - Martial Palace of the Heavens and Earth (Two)
The pattern before him was nothing ordinary. It contained a shocking arcana. Even with Qin Nan's current strength, Qin Nan was unable to see through it. He could only sense a rough idea of it.
However, during the process of observing it, Qin Nan discovered that there were exactly ten gaps in the pattern.
Obviously, the pattern was similar to a Martial Path Pattern, consisting of the wills of the one hundred and eight Martial Arts of the Heavens and Earth.
Regardless of which ten Martial Arts Qin Nan had taken away, the Martial Path Pattern would be missing the corresponding ten gaps.
In order to pass the trial, he would have to fill in the gaps of the wills of the ten Martial Arts that he had learned.
Without a doubt, it would be extremely difficult.
The reason being that Qin Nan had yet to fully comprehend the secrets of the Martial Path Pattern. If he was not able to control the process properly, he would either fail to fill in the gaps, or the pattern would shatter into pieces.
Qin Nan pondered carefully. After figuring out the steps to fill in the gaps, he held his breath and executed the first Martial Art. He unleashed his will and slowly approached the first gap.
Time gradually passed. Around eighteen hours later, following a soft buzz, the Martial Path Pattern suddenly emitted a tremendous glow. Its aura skyrocketed and reached a magnificent level within the blink of an eye.
"Congratulations, cultivator, you've passed the trial and reached the Rising Level!"
The old and dignified voice sounded once again.
Following it, a magnificent force descended upon Qin Nan, causing him to vanish into thin air and reappear inside a palace.
"Brother Lin Lao, congratulations!"
The Ruler of Heart's voice appeared.
Qin Nan raised his head and saw three figures inside the palace. They were Elder Zuo, the Ruler of Heart, and Chen Fenghuo.
Chen Fenghuo nodded at Qin Nan when he saw Qin Nan's gaze, but he did not say anything.
"You three are the only ones who have reached the Rising Level in the third trial. The fourth trial has already started. It will take around two days for the results to come out. "
Elder Zuo said with a smile, "Therefore, the Sacred Martial Sect has already prepared everything for you. Chen Fenghuo, you will go to the fourth floor. Xinruo, you will go to the third floor. Cultivator Lin, you will go to the second floor. There are some ancient records and cultivation resources inside. You will have to wait for a while. "
"I'll call you out when the fifth trial starts."
The Ruler of Heart was slightly displeased, "What's wrong? Do we have to stay in this place? Can't I go out on my own? "
He had comprehended the Heart-severing Move that Qin Nan had 'taught' him in the past few days. He was looking for a good place to strike while the iron was hot and invent his own move.
Elder Zuo said with a smile, "That's right, the fifth trial is about to begin. The three of you will be the center of attention, so you can't leave just in case something goes wrong. After all, in the past, someone … "
The Ruler of Heart waved his hand impatiently and said, "That's it then."
He then looked at Qin Nan and said, "Brother Lin Lao, I've comprehended something, so I won't bother you anymore. I'll take my leave first."
Chen Fenghuo looked at Qin Nan and bowed before leaving.
"Senior Zuo, why is the fifth trial the center of attention?"
Qin Nan asked curiously after seeing them off.
"You don't even know that?"
Elder Zuo was startled before he explained, "You don't know, but in the past, this is the last trial of the Eternal Martial Gathering. Any cultivator who participates in the Martial Gathering can enter and watch the ceremony."
"You must know that to reach a higher level, you must be in a grand occasion. The Founding Patriarch made this decision in the past to create a grand occasion. At that time, the cultivator who wins first place in the Martial Gathering might have a great harvest and break through. "
"Furthermore, it will strengthen the sense of glory and make countless cultivators yearn for it."
Qin Nan nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Elder."
Qin Nan continued to ask a few more questions before bidding farewell to Elder Zuo and going to the second floor to recuperate. For some reason, when he thought of the fifth trial in two days, his blood began to boil faintly.
"Unfortunately, I won't be able to compete with Chen Fenghuo for first place …"
Qin Nan felt that it was a pity.
The outcome of the Eternal Martial Gathering was definitely unchangeable.
…
…
Sacred Heaven Martial Sect, in a mysterious small world.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao's figure descended from the sky.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Immediately after, another three figures descended. The aura emitted from each of them had reached an incomparably terrifying level.
These were three Heavenly Venerate powerhouses!
"Sigh, Brother Tian is good at everything. He's just too lazy. He's clearly already here, but he doesn't know how to lend a hand. He just let this old man take the lead here."
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao said with a sigh.
"Haha, Sect Master, don't complain anymore. If Brother Tian hears it, he might come and cause trouble for you."
The other three Heavenly Venerate powerhouses could not help laughing when they heard that.
"That's true, that's true. I didn't say anything just now. The three of you didn't hear anything, understand?"
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao pretended to be serious. The three Heavenly Venerate powerhouses nodded repeatedly with smiles.
"Alright, let's begin together now."
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao's expression became slightly serious. An incomparably terrifying power was suddenly released from his body. Like a peerless sea, it swept across the entire small world with lightning speed.
His hands rapidly performed a series of hand seals, forming a series of hand seals.
The other three Heavenly Venerates' expressions immediately froze as they followed closely behind.
"Unifying Heaven and Earth, Book of Dao Sealing, appear!"
Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao shouted in a low voice.
In an instant, the entire sky of the small world darkened.
An ancient scripture with a length of nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine zhang and a width of three thousand three hundred and ninety-nine zhang slowly appeared from the mystical ground.
It was simple and mysterious, but it was not fancy at all.
There was not a single word or drawing on its cover. There was only an endless navy blue color. It was simple as if there was nothing special about it.
However, when one stared at it, they would feel that everything around them was gradually leaving them and sinking into the depths of it.
This was the most precious treasure of the current Sacred Heavenly Martial Sect, the Book of Dao Sealing that countless powerhouses coveted!
However, upon closer inspection, Heavenly Venerate Zi Hao and the other three Heavenly Venerates' eyes dimmed the moment they saw the Book of Dao Sealing.
Since the establishment of the Sacred Heavenly Martial Sect until today, the Book of Dao Sealing had yet to appear …
