Peerless Battle Spirit

Chapter 1023 - Demonic Eight Corpses Seal

As the thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind, he inserted a stream of progenitor force into the Treasure Fishing Rod, causing it to emit a gentle white glow, which synchronized with Qin Nan’s aura.

The way to activate the Treasure Fishing Rod was very simple. The person holding it was regarded as its owner, who could easily control it with their Divine Sense.

The two hounds, one mouse, and the skeletons stared at Qin Nan.

“There should be a Sun and Moon Dragon Vein inside the Skyhowl Wolf Peak, which has a cultivation of the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm. Let’s use it to test the Treasure Fishing Rod!” Qin Nan’s left eye emitted a purple glow as he gave the command, “Go!”

He swung the Treasure Fishing Rod in his hand, firing a magical force like a string, which was invisible to the others.

A while later, the force arrived at the Skyhowl Wolf Peak. To Qin Nan’s surprise, the formations, stones, ground, etc. were unable to restrict its movement.

“Mm?” Qin Nan raised his eyebrows. It seemed like this Treasure Fishing Rod was really something extraordinary?

The magical force soon entered the mountain and surrounded the deep asleep Sun and Moon Dragon Vein. Qin Nan could also feel the weight of the Treasure Fishing Rod to be increasing.

Qin Nan pulled the rod upward, causing the entire Sun and Moon Dragon Vein to move slightly closer toward him.

The Sun and Moon Dragon Vein remained asleep as if it were unaware of the movement.

“Damn, is it really working?”

Qin Nan’s eyes widened.

However, at that instant, a furious roar echoed from the Skyhowl Wolf Peak, “Who’s that? Who dares to steal our Sun and Moon Dragon Vein!”

Several figures sprang into the sky with murderous auras.

Qin Nan was startled, who instantly withdrew the magical force with his Divine Sense.

“Qin Nan, I forgot to mention, even though the Treasure Fishing Rod is able to reel in any treasure, including the God Weapons, but when you try to move them with the Treasure Fishing Rod, you will surely attract the attention of the people nearby. Sigh, it’s mainly because your cultivation is still too weak…”

Before Qin Nan could say anything, the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch blurted out. His expression seemed to be implying, It’s a waste that such a great treasure is in your hands.

“How shameless!”

The two hounds, one mouse, and the skeletons could feel their lips twitching.

“Hehe.” action

Qin Nan let out a hollow laugh.

Attracting the attention of the people nearby when trying to move the target. How could he even steal any treasure with the rod then?

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch’s face blushed after becoming aware of the atmosphere. He let out a cough and spoke, “What’s that look on your face? This Treasure Fishing Rod will still come in handy. You will understand when your cultivation is stronger.”

Qin Nan rolled his eyes and completely ignored him.

The Treasure Fishing Rod would be useful in some situations, especially when he cooperated with Sima Kong, but the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had bluffed that he could easily fish a God Weapon with it.

Technically it was doable, but they had to first shift away the focus of the faction protecting it, etc.

Neither Qin Nan nor Sima Kong was capable of doing that.

“You should all go cultivate first.”

Qin Nan activated the Sumeru Ring, allowing the two hounds, one mouse, and the skeletons to leave the Dao Origin Crystal.

“Senior, since I’ve gathered all three pieces, should I look for the real Heaven-Shattering treasure?”

Qin Nan shifted his gaze toward the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.

Although the Treasure Fishing Rod was not as useful as he thought, he was still very interested in the Heaven-Shattering treasure.

“No way.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch straightened his face, “The real Heaven-Shattering treasure is related to the method of breaking the South-Heaven Gate. Your cultivation is too weak, thus it’s meaningless for you to do so now. Besides, my actual body is there, so I’d surely beat the crap out of you if you went now.”

“The method of breaking the South-Heaven Gate?”

Qin Nan’s eyes widened.

As everyone knew, the South-Heaven Gate was the heirloom treasure of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, which suppressed the entire Canglan Continent, blocking the path to the Nine Heavens. Once, even a Martial God Realm expert with several Martial Monarch Realm experts had failed to break it.

This implied how difficult it was to shatter the South-Heaven Gate.

“Senior…” Qin Nan took a deep breath and said, “How strong should my cultivation be before heading there?”

“Martial Monarch Realm.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said calmly, who glimpsed at the red string on Qin Nan’s wrist as he recalled something, “If your strength was equivalent to a first-layer Martial Monarch, it should be fine too.”

“Martial Monarch Realm, huh?”

Qin Nan nodded while clenching his fists tightly.

The secret of the Canglan Continent, the aim of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, the goal of the Godly Beast Forbidden Area, etc. all required him to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm.

“By the way, you mentioned that your actual body is at the Heaven-Shattering treasure. Does that mean you’re still alive?”

Qin Nan blurted out with astonishment as he recalled something.

If the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch were still alive, the entire Canglan Continent would be dumbfounded.

“Dead, but I somehow kept my last breath with a fortunate encounter.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch shrugged, “Let’s skip this topic. Kid, show me your nine Martial Trees.”

“Martial Trees?”

Qin Nan wore a confused look, before he unleashed his nine Martial Trees.

“Tsk tsk, nine Martial Trees is very impressive indeed. Damn it, why wasn’t I as lucky as you are now?” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said with a hint of jealousy before he wore a stern expression, “Your nine Martial Trees consist of two different types, right? I will seal eight of your Martial Trees today!”

“Seal eight of my Martial Trees?”

“That’s right.”

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch’s gaze became cold, “Currently, there are four people who have surpassed the rules of cultivation in the Canglan Continent, including you. However, the other three are from the half-God region, which means they are on the other side. However, you’re different. Since you aim to shatter the South-Heaven Gate, you will be seen as their enemy, thus I will have to seal off eight of your Martial Trees to prevent the enemies from finding you in advance.”

He continued after a brief pause, “That being said, once they are sealed, they can still be cultivated. Once you encounter any danger that forces you to use your true strength, you can easily break the seal to unleash the eight Martial Trees.”

Qin Nan came to a realization upon listening to the explanation.

Previously at the Righteous Ancient City, the genius with three Martial Spirits had managed to find him, which had almost resulted in a great disaster.

Now that he was becoming well-known in the Middle Continent, more people would be setting their eyes upon him, thus they would somewhat be able to peek at the secrets inside his body.

“Thanks, senior!”

Qin Nan brought his fists together and said in a sincere tone.

Although he was not scared that he would be targeted after his secrets were exposed, he would prefer to have the situation under his control.

“Enough with that bullsh*t.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch waved his hand before performing a hand seal, summoning ghastly figures that eventually formed a great formation that encapsulated the eight Divine Battle Trees.

The aura of the eight Divine Battle Trees instantly vanished.

“Such an extraordinary seal.”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered.

“Mm, now that I’ve done what I’m here for, my stream of will will only last for another day. You should cultivate in seclusion, I’ll go and have some fun.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch chuckled.

“Senior, you should go and visit the Six-Spirited Dragon Vein.” Qin Nan suggested.

The smile on the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch’s face froze, before he nodded and exited the Dao Origin Crystal.

“I shall start cultivating too…”

Qin Nan let out a sigh and withdrew his thoughts, before he took out the remaining four boxes that he had retrieved from his previous adventure.
