Chapter 1405 - A Terrifying Setup
Meanwhile, in the southernmost place...
When the authorities of various factions were on their way here, no one would think that the wills of the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking and South-Heaven Gate would be sitting in front of an ancient crystal table at somewhere mystical in the rift.
"Who would have thought that we would all sit together here after ten thousand years, just because of a Martial Monarch."
The Spirit of Monarch Ranking took a sip of tea and exclaimed.
"Let's not waste our time on that, now that the news has spread across the world, the fire has been ignited," the Spirit of God Ranking's Spirit frowned slightly and said, "South-Heaven Gate, how are you planning for us to work together?"
"For now, I have three suggestions," the will of the South-Heaven Gate had taken the form of a middle-aged man in a blue robe. His eyes flickered coldly as he spoke, "First of all, we'll work together and change the rules of cultivation in a way that every cultivator with the surname Qin can no longer conceal their aura and cultivation, so that the people from every faction could hunt him down!"
"Second, in the upcoming God Horoscope Contest, once Qin Nan showed up, you will disrupt the God Horoscope Contest and let other geniuses acquire the God Horoscopes instead!"
"Third, we should destroy places like the Skyless Dojo, just so Qin Nan couldn't summon the Tribulation of the Martial God Realm, as a precaution!"
The current Qin Nan was unable to pose any threat to them.
The real threat was after Qin Nan had achieved the Martial God Realm.
As such, the South-Heaven Gate had met up with the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking here in advance. Apart from trying to stop Qin Nan from acquiring the God Horoscope, etc, the most important thing was to completely eliminate any chance for Qin Nan to achieve the Martial God Realm!
"I agree with them, but doesn't that mean you guys aren't doing anything much?"
The Spirit of the God Ranking asked calmly.
"Before the God Horoscope Contest, we'll use a secret art and summon the geniuses in the Nine Heavens to come to Canglan Continent!" the eyes of the Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate stared at the Spirit of the God Ranking.
"Oh?" the eyes of the Monarch Ranking flickered as it spoke, "The geniuses from the faction that the Heaven God is from?"
"Precisely," said the Spirit of the South-Heaven Gate expressionlessly without looking at the Monarch Ranking.
If it weren't because of the situation, it would not bother wasting its time on the Monarch Ranking.
"If that's the case, we'll follow your plan."
The Spirit of God Ranking nodded after a slight ponder.
"It sounds like they both are unaware of some of the details. I won't tell them either, maybe I can make use of this..." the eyes of the Monarch Ranking flickered as it mumbled, "The chance that I've been waiting since ten thousand years ago!"
When Qin Nan participated in the Trial of Monarch Ranking, it had learned some of his secrets.
It even recommended Qin Nan to the God Ranking, to train him like a very important chess piece, yet luckily it had kept some of the information to itself. It did not tell the God Ranking about the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes and the mysterious Martial Spirit that was related to the expert in the Nine Heavens.
As for South-Heaven Gate and the Heaven God, they clearly had no idea about Qin Nan's secrets. Otherwise, they would not propose such a setup.
"The people from other factions are here, let's head over."
The South-Heaven Gate vanished with a flicker, while the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking followed behind it.
A few hundred breaths later, the South-Heaven Sacred Ground...
Under the astonished gazes of the disciples and elders. one after another formidable aura entered the deepest part of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground like colorful rays flying across the sky.
They consisted of the Patriarch of the Martial Principle Sect, the Sacred Leader of the Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, the master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground, the master of the Lost Herb Garden, the master of the Wretched Disaster Forest, the ruler of the Nine Words Ancient Sea, the aster of the Godly Exterminator Forbidden Ground, the chiefs of the Eight Ancient Tribes, and the peak Martial Gods who had not shown up in front of public over thousands of years.
Although many authorities who had lent Qin Nan a hand before did not show up, it was not exaggerating to describe it as the grandest gathering in Canglan Continent.
Even the battle between the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, South-Heaven Gate and the mysterious Heaven God, or the appearance of Empress Feiyue from eight thousand years ago did not invoke a meeting of this scale.
"Qin Nan has broken the rules by self-achieving the Martial Monarch Realm. He has committed a huge offense! As a result, Monarch Ranking, God Ranking and I are asking everyone here to hunt him down even if it means searching the entire Canglan Continent!"
"If anyone decided to help Qin Nan by not contributing to the hunt, you will suffer our wrath!"
"If anyone tries their best..."
Inside an ancient palace, the imperious voices of the South-Heaven Gate, Monarch Ranking and God Ranking echoed like thunder.
Time gradually passed. The grand meeting only lasted for a few thousand breaths.
As soon as it came to an end, countless thoughts were transmitted to the factions like rolling waves.
"Listen up, Second Elder, Third Elder, Seventh Elder and Ninth Elder, you four will lead the cultivators of the four halls to activate this seal. It will allow your Divine Sense to enter the Mind-Linking Boulder!"
"Spread my words, tell the three Supreme Elders to stop cultivating in seclusion. They will lead the people and activate this seal, to enter the Mind-Linking Boulder with their Divine Sense!"
"Master, according to the South-Heaven Gate..."
Even though many factions were not so willing to harm Qin Nan or had their own plans, they still gave their promise to the three authorities on the surface and transmitted their thoughts.
As for the Mind-Linking Boulder, it was the sixth-rank artifact of the South-Heaven Gate. By activating a unique seal, it would allow cultivators to enter the boulder with their Divine Sense regardless of the distance, allowing them to communicate with one another.
The South-Heaven Sacred Ground would only use the artifact during a massive war.
That being said, what worth mentioning was, the will of the master of the Lost Herb Garden was erased with violence, while the people of the Blood Tribe, Flame Tribe and Lightning Tribe were safe after making some agreement with the South-Heaven Gate.
Time gradually passed. Three hundred breaths later, the cultivators of various factions entered the Mind-Linking Boulder with their Divine Sense.
The outcome of the meeting surfaced.
The Yin and Yang Taoist, Martial God Tiandu, and the second and third Monarch Envoys were in charge of the order.
The cultivators from all factions were grouped into over a thousand troops. They were distributed across the half-God region and five continents to search for Qin Nan, and were obliged to report back after discovering any trace!
"I'm Yin and Yang Taoist, I will now teach you a secret art. We'll move out immediately after everyone has learned it!"
A hoarse voice echoed in the minds of the cultivators.
The secret art was fairly simple. The cultivators were able to learn it in no time.
If someone were placing extra attention, they would discover that huge groups of cultivators were moving out from their factions and disappearing into the distance in the form of light rays.
"Many factions are working together to hunt Qin Nan?"
"What? All factions are participating in it?"
Under the South-Heaven Sacred Ground's influence, the news spread across the half-God region and Middle Continent like a storm.
The cultivators were dumbfounded once again. Their eyes were filled with terror as the little flame that was ignited was put out by a bucket of cold water.
Qin Nan already had to face such a ridiculous setup even he had just achieved the Martial Monarch Realm?
