Chapter 1421 - The Extremities of Martial Arts

BANG!

At that instant, the corpse of a young man with ragged clothes and dried bloodstains on his chest suddenly emitted a magical glow. An overwhelming life force burst out from it and spread across the flesh.

Even the deadly wound was recovered. The cold, silent Monarch Heart started beating again.

Although the body's life force had totally dried up, under the influence of Qin Nan's soul, it still rejuvenated.

However, it was not the same as the usual devouring, thus he was not truly reborn too. The flesh could only last three months before it completely dried up. Qin Nan would have to search for a new body.

However, three months were more than enough for Qin Nan.

"A cultivation of peak Martial Monarch Realm and a flesh equivalent to the fifth-layer Martial Monarch Realm. Besides, his age is almost the same as mine. He would be considered a peerless genius if he was in the Canglan Continent."

Qin Nan slowly opened his eyes. His eyes flickered with astonishment as his Divine Sense scanned the unfamiliar body.

He had found a genius at this level after sp.a.w.ning in a random location. How many geniuses who were equally talented, or even stronger than this young man were there in this world?

Is this the difference between the Canglan Continent and the Nine Heavens?

However, Qin Nan had no idea that he had only sp.a.w.ned here and discovered the body because the Ancient Demon Path had lent him a hand behind the scenes.

Besides, it was obvious that there were more experts and geniuses in the Nine Heavens than the Canglan Continent, since the Nine Heavens was extremely vast. The number of cultivators of the Canglan Continent was incomparable to the number of cultivators of the Nine Heavens.

With so many cultivators, and the strong presence of Qi and immortal Qi in the Nine Heavens, it was reasonable to have so many talented geniuses.

Buzz!

The monarch force in the body began to vibrate vigorously. It felt like a faint crimson-golden glow was rising.

Qin Nan's soul had broken free from the chains after coming to the Nine Heavens, triggering a breakthrough.

As Qin Nan's cultivation was now the strongest Martial Monarch of all times, as his soul entered a new body, it would also help the flesh to improve.

"I'm not sure what kind of danger I'll stumble into here. I should recover my cultivation now."

A thought crossed Qin Nan's mind. He sat with his legs crossed and unleashed his will, preparing himself to absorb the monarch force.

"Mm? What is this?"

Qin Nan was stunned.

He discovered a sapphire green 'jade rock' with the size of a fist emitting faint immortal glows inside the brain of the body.

In his own body, he would start absorbing monarch force with a single thought.

However, when he had the thought, the strange 'jade rock' unleashed a strong force that was rooted between the Heavens and Earth.

"That's the Immortal Root."

The icy voice of the copper mirror said, "The realms above the Martial G.o.d Realm are the Human G.o.d Realm, Earth G.o.d Realm and Heaven G.o.d Realm. Beyond that is immortality."

"If you want to become an immortal, you must have the immortal root."

"The cultivators can be born with Immortal Roots naturally, or nurture them with effort. There were many kinds of them. Similarly, the Immortal Roots were categorized into different ranks too. You will learn more about them when you ascend to the Nine Heavens in the future."

It was as if saying a word more to Qin Nan would be a waste.

"Isn't this Immortal Root the same as the Martial Spirits in the Canglan Continent?"

Qin Nan slightly frowned.

The Martial Spirits in the Canglan Continent were nothing but a conspiracy established by the South-Heaven Gate.

"It's completely different. The Martial Spirits in the Canglan Continent are manipulated artificially, but the Immortal Roots in the Nine Heavens are born from the Dao. Your cultivation is still too low, you won't understand the differences between the two."

The woman in the copper mirror said bluntly.

"Manipulated artificially and born from the Dao?" Qin Nan pondered for a brief while before he shook his head and said, "None of them matters to me now."

Qin Nan proceeded to communicate with the Immortal Root in the mind.

At that instant, wisps of Qi, and the faint presence of immortal Qi came from all directions into his body, allowing his monarch force to undergo some changes.

On top of that, the chasm he was in was extraordinary too. As he absorbed more Qi, the presence of Qi somehow grew stronger.

"This Immortal Root of the Nine Heavens is remarkable indeed. The rate of absorbing the Qi was more than ten times faster than trying to absorb it myself."

Qin Nan mumbled to himself, before he put his full attention on the process.

Time gradually pa.s.sed. Six hours later, a huge explosion occurred on Qin Nan's body as a crimson-golden monarch glow burst out from it magnificently.

The monarch force inside his body had completely evolved. It was now the monarch force of the top one Martial Monarch of all times.

"The body is not mine after all. Even though I've recovered my cultivation, the supply of monarch force in this body is only half of that in my own body."

Qin Nan inspected the body before rising to his feet and executed Monarch Arts consecutively.

Qin Nan had yet to gotten used to the unfamiliar body, especially without the left eye, the left arm of the Divine G.o.d of Battle, and the Heaven-Shattering Saber.

"I can only utilize four-tenths of my maximum strength. That's not too bad. I shall take a look around before searching for places with fortunate encounters to level up further."

Qin Nan made up his mind, yet before he made his move, he suddenly realized a problem.

What is the next level?

If he had no idea, how is he going to improve?

"Copper mirror..."

Qin Nan immediately said to ask the woman his question.

"In the Nine Heavens, there are the cultivation and Martial Art mastery. The Martial Sacred Realm, Martial Progenitor Realm, Martial Monarch Realm and Martial G.o.d Realm are referring to one's cultivation. As for the Martial Art mastery, it refers to one's level of comprehension toward Martial Arts."

"Your Martial Art mastery isn't top one Martial Monarch of all times, but the Four Level of Extremities, the Extremity of Strength, the Extremity of Will, the Extremity of Mind, and the Extremity of Heart, also known as the Mastering the Extremities."

"Those who mastered the Extremities would be unbeatable against opponents with the same level of cultivation. They could even challenge those with higher levels of cultivation. If two cultivators who have both mastered the Extremities clash with one another, they would most likely suffer severe injuries or die together."

The copper mirror spoke coldly as if she was aware of what Qin Nan wanted to ask.

However, there was one thing she had yet to tell Qin Nan. In the vast world of the Nine Heavens, only a few were able to master the Extremities. They were either the peerless geniuses in the ancient factions and tribes, or a formidable ruler somewhere in the Nine Heavens.

Like her.
