â¦Dragon Emperor Clan, the Human Peakâ¦
After sending Mu Mu away, Qin Nan took out the Shadow Pagodaâs badge and sent a message.
He had yet to understand the current situation of the Middle Continent after the Monarch Horoscope Contest.
âShi Qingfan has left the Misty Immortal Sect. Itâs highly possible that he has headed to the half-God region.
âSage Chen Zilai was sentenced to stay in the Ten Thousand Demons Path for a year. According to some sources, it appears that Chen Zilai had purposely gone easy on Sorceress Qian Qian during the Monarch Horoscope Contest, but the people of the Fallen Demon Villa have denied it.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âMore than a few hundred geniuses have hinted using Qin Nanâs name. Itâs possible that Qin Nan was the reason why the Monarch Horoscope Contest turned out this way.
âAmong the geniuses ranked in the top one thousand on the Monarch Ranking, seven hundred and ninety-eight have fallen in the Monarch Horoscope Contest.
âThe Dragon Emperor Clan, the Heaven-Saber Sect, and the Fallen Demon Villa have set up a meeting to discuss the Monarch Ascending Ceremony. The venue has not been decided yet, but itâs most likely going to be held at the Dragon Emperor Clan.â
ââ¦â¦â
Qin Nanâs lips curled upward as he read the information.
The spirit of the Monarch Ranking had purposely hidden the truth about the events that had taken place during the Monarch Horoscope Contest. As a result, apart from the geniuses in the first and third stages, no one in the Middle Continent knew that he possessed nine Martial Trees.
This might be good news for him.
Otherwise, his name would shock the entire Canglan Continent.
âThat being said, the Monarch Horoscope Contest is indeed cruel. Those who have succeeded will rise up tremendously, while those who have failed will lose everything.â
Qin Nanâs eyes flickered coldly.
He was completely disgusted by the Monarch Ranking and God Rankingâs doing.
Since when should cultivatorsâ futures be decided through a contest?
âPhew!â
Qin Nan exhaled deeply as his gaze became calm.
It was enough for him to get a general understanding of the current situation. Currently, he had more important matters to attend to.
âLetâs check the manual out first.â
The book was left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch, the same book that had allowed Qin Nan to discover the door to a whole new world of cultivation. It was half the reason why Qin Nan had managed to surpass the rules of cultivation.
Qin Nan slowly turned the pages over and read each of the sentences with extreme caution.
Even though he had thoroughly memorized every single insane statement written inside the book, every time he read it, his heart would lose its calm and become excited. As he finished reading the book, his gaze was completely different.
âNow, itâs time to think how I will achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on my own.
âEven though Iâve got the primary monarch force equivalent to three Monarch Horoscopes inside my body, itâs nowhere enough for the nine Martial Trees. However, where thereâs a will, thereâs a way. There must still be some method to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm.â
Qin Nan quickly thought.
Several illusionary figures were summoned inside his Divine Sense as he continued to deduct the possibilities.
His character played an important role in times like this. It was as if he had gone mad, as he continuously came up with brilliant thoughts in his mind, but it was soon rejected by himself. It felt like he would never be fatigued.
Any ordinary cultivator would have lost their patience and given up already.
Time gradually passed. Two days were gone in the blink of an eye.
âThatâs not it! Killing other Martial Monarch Realm experts to retrieve their primary monarch force is not viable at all! It would be extremely difficult to extract the primary monarch force, let alone the difficulty of actually killing the Martial Monarchs! Besides, even if I managed to find a way to take their primary monarch force, wouldnât the other Martial Monarchs find out easily enough?
âNegotiate with the Monarch Ranking? Thatâs even worse. I have nothing to negotiate with at all. If the spirit of the Monarch Ranking learned that I have primary monarch force inside my body, it would target me straight away.
âProceeding to the Nine Heavens from the Ancient Demon Path? I might be able to break free from the restrictions of the Canglan Continent once I enter the Nine Heavens, and I could possibly absorb the primary monarch force there. However, what if I wouldnât be able to return? I wonât take the Ancient Demon Path unless itâs the only choice left.â
Qin Nanâs thoughts surfaced like tides.
Countless crazy ideas popped up in his mind.
If anyone were to read his mind, they would be utterly terrified by them.
âNo, no, apart from going to the Nine Heavens, none of them would actually work. In that case, maybe I should derive it backwards. If Iâm planning to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, the only way is to increase the primary monarch force. Does this mean the primary monarch force is the only way?
âI almost forgot, increasing the primary monarch force is only one of the options. I could also modify myselfâif I only had three Martial Trees, or even oneâ¦â
It was as if a shocking thunder had occurred inside Qin Nanâs mind.
Qin Nanâs figure instantly shuddered as his eyes glistened.
That was right!
Why didnât I think of this before?
If Iâm able to produce nine Martial Trees, why canât I merge all of them into one?
If the Martial Trees were merged into one, not only would their power be changed completely as a new Martial Tree was born, it would also be stronger than the nine Martial Trees he had now!
Furthermore, once he managed to merge the nine Martial Trees into one, he would be able to let the single Martial Tree absorb the primary monarch force that was equivalent to three Monarch Horoscopes!
In this way, not only would he be able to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, his monarch force would exceed the others too!
âThatâs right! This is doable! Merging the nine Martial Trees into one to refine my power a first time! Then absorb the primary monarch force to refine my power a second time! Finally, after achieving the Martial Monarch Realm, my power would be greater than ordinary Martial Monarchs, thus a third time! As such, my Martial Monarch Realm would not be weaker than refining the nine Monarch Horoscopes, or even strongerâ¦â
Qin Nanâs figure trembled in excitement.
Not only would his thought make him a Martial Monarch, but he could also actually become the greatest Martial Monarch in history!
âCalm down, calm down! I have to deduce it one more time!â
Qin Nan took a few deep breaths as illusionary figures were summoned inside his mind.
After repeating it around twenty times, Qin Nan stopped and burst out laughing while gazing into the sky. The reason being that he had proven the solution to be workable!
However, the thunderous laughter immediately shocked the two hounds, one mouse and the others on the mountain.
The two hounds blurted out, âHas Young Master gone crazy because he failed to inherit the Monarch Horoscopes? Sighâ¦AH!â
They were about to let out a sigh when they were struck, causing them to cry out in pain.
âQuiet.â
Skeleton Xiao Hong snapped as the flames inside her eyes flickered.
Bursting out laughing into the sky after cultivating in seclusion for two days.
That guyâ¦
What did he discover?
