Chapter 1410 - Ascending the Nine Heavens
"The Nine Heavens?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain disagreed immediately as he collected his thoughts, "That can't be done. Many experts have tried to enter the Nine Heavens through the Ancient Demon Path, yet not only did they fail to reach their destination, they even died in there."
Qin Nan nodded. He and the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch did see many corpses close to the place.
"If not, why do you think the Magical Hair was able to grasp the Ultimate of Cultivation?"
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries calmly said with a smile.
"The Ultimate of Cultivation?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others were stunned. They did forget about that.
Under the current rules of cultivation applied to the Canglan Continent, it was impossible to learn the Ultimate of Cultivation.
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain had only managed to learn it after he coincidentally acquired a drop of immortal's blood when the Monarch Ranking, G.o.d Ranking, and South-Heaven Gate made a mistake, which gave him some fragmented memories.
Besides, the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain never taught Magical Hair the Ultimate of Cultivation, and there was never a second drop of immortal's blood.
Did Magical Hair actually go to the Nine Heavens to learn it?
"It is true that one can enter the Nine Heavens through the Ancient Demon Path," said the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries sternly, "But it's extremely risky for the people who take it. Not only would they have to put their flesh in a situation where it's close to death, but they also need to rely on the power of the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree, which would allow their souls to come out from their bodies."
"Any misstep or mistake during the process, the soul would be crushed and the flesh would rot, killing the cultivator. Not even a single hint of his will is able to survive."
"It was only a coincidence that Magical Hair managed to succeed."
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries glanced at Qin Nan with a stern look.
"Magical Hair did predict that it's likely that you will visit the Nine Heavens. Therefore, apart from the Innate Sword Nascences and the Anti-Heaven Alliance, he also left you a special art. By learning it, your soul will grow significantly stronger, increasing the odds of you surviving."
The sword spirit had asked Qin Nan about his next step as it was planning to tell him this.
After all, there were still at least eight to nine years left until the next G.o.d Horoscope Contest.
Within this period, the rest of the world would try to hunt Qin Nan down. On top of that, Qin Nan was also the top one Martial Monarch of all times. It was unlikely that he could improve any further in Canglan Continent.
The only way he could use the remaining time wisely was by putting his life at stake and head over to the Nine Heavens, just so he could witness the true path of cultivation, and the real Martial World.
"Who would have thought, Magical Hair has already planned the next step for us."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain were both impressed and astounded.
Since the beginning, the guy had prepared everything for Qin Nan.
"Qin Nan, you've got time to think about it first," the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries added, "According to the rumors, a day in Heaven is equivalent to a year in the mundane world. Although it isn't as exaggerating as that, every day you spent in the Nine Heavens is actually equivalent to a month in Canglan Continent. You only have around eighty days before the Dragon Necropolis is accessible."
"In addition to that, the vastness of the Nine Heavens is nothing that Canglan Continent can compare to. If you're not in luck, you will be teleported to somewhere desolated in the Nine Heavens, you won't find anything useful there. There's also a chance that you will be teleported to somewhere dangerous, crus.h.i.+ng your soul instantly."
In the Nine Heavens, not every place was stacked with experts even though there were countless of Martial G.o.ds and immortals.
"You can't even decide where you teleport to?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others were startled.
Entering the Nine Heavens alone was incredibly dangerous, yet if Qin Nan ended up at somewhere desolated or dangerous, wouldn't all their effort be in vain?
"Senior Seven Luminaries, please teach me the art."
Before they could finish, Qin Nan spoke with a calm look.
In order to oppose Heaven, he would have to endure the suffering first.
No matter how slim the chance, there was still hope. Either way, he still had to try.
He did not want to let himself down, nor would he let the Divine Battle Spirit, the Magical Hair Sword G.o.d and everyone else who had helped him in the past down.
"Sure thing."
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries stared into Qin Nan's eyes. After a while, it flicked its finger and handed Qin Nan a scroll.
"Fellow seniors, I'll leave the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear in your hands. As for ascending to the Nine Heavens, I'll do it after some days, how's that?"
Qin Nan asked.
Now that he had become the top one Martial Monarch of all times, he would like to visit the Eastern Continent.
In addition to that, he would also want to meet Princess and the others before he left, since the journey was going to take some time.
"Mm."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others nodded in agreement.
"I'll excuse myself then...
Qin Nan went into the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword with a flicker.
"This kid..."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others shook their heads.
Even though Qin Nan did not mention it, they were clearly aware that Qin Nan had gone to help the Death Crystal.
"Cultivator Haven-Shattering, now that everything is decided, we won't stay here any longer."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others brought their fists together at the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch.
Despite they had only spent a short time together, they were completely convinced of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch's capabilities.
"Wait."
However, a cold feminine voice appeared out of nowhere.
A wisp of mysterious glow landed in the residence and turned into an illusionary figure with an overwhelming presence.
Even the drawing of the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear on the wall somehow turned dimmer at that instant.
"Empress...Empress Fei Yue?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the rest of the crowd were astounded.
They never thought Empress Feiyue would show up at that moment.
"I have a few things that would need your help."
Empress Feiyue stood in the air and said to the crowd with a cold voice, "When the G.o.d Horoscope Contest comes to an end, I will return to Canglan Continent in my true form."
"What?"
The eyes of the crowd flickered with astonishment.
Although they knew that Empress Feiyue would eventually return, they still lost their minds when they heard the news.
Besides, it had been eight thousand years since the incident. They could not help but wonder how strong Empress Feiyue had become now?
"South-Heaven Gate, G.o.d Ranking, Monarch Ranking, and the deity of Canglan will target Qin Nan during that time."
"My Tribulation of Three Lifetimes is happening at the same time too."
"In order to avoid a great calamity from taking place across the entire Canglan Continent, and to prepare a place for Qin Nan to overcome the upcoming Tribulation, everyone will now practice this seal..."
Empress Feiyue's voice echoed in the s.p.a.ce.
On top of that, her figure similarly appeared in many forbidden grounds.
Even though it had been eight thousand years, even though she had yet to arrive, she was already making her move.
