Chapter 1300 - Come and Go Like a Shadow
However, the chaos that the Magical Hair Sword G.o.d had stirred, the conflict between the various factions in the half-G.o.d region and the authorities, and the terrifying undercurrents that were slowly taking shape had nothing to do with Qin Nan.
Qin Nan was like formidable lightning from the highest heavens currently in a state of dormancy. None of the authorities in the half-G.o.d region placed their attention onto him, as if he had vanished without a trace. Only when the time came would he shock the entire Canglan with a single act.
"It"s finally over, time to head back."
Meanwhile, in the Anti-Heaven Alliance, Qin Nan was floating in the air, watching the busy figures moving around with dazzling flickers. He let out a long sigh before leaving the place.
The modification of the Anti-Heaven Alliance was a success. As for the following process of allocating the authorities, elders, and disciples of the three ancient tribes who were moving in, it no longer bothered Qin Nan, thus there was no reason for him to stay any longer.
That being said, the three ancient tribes were not moving their entire tribes into the Anti-Heaven Alliance, but only a very small portion of them. The three ancient tribes were still keeping their true power and resources in their respective tribes.
A few moments later, Qin Nan entered a newly constructed palace. The hidden formations and forbidding auras inside the palace instantly activated, secluding the place from the outside world. Even a Martial Monarch would not be able to peek into the building and disturb him.
During the renovation of the Anti-Heaven Palace, the two Sword G.o.ds had specifically constructed ten palaces for the ten Vice Hall Leaders.
Possibly because the two Sword G.o.ds were playing a prank on him, Qin Nan found himself in between the palaces of the Qilin Flame Martial Monarch, the Vast Skythunder Martial Monarch, and the Blood Rune Martial Monarch.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan raised his brows slightly all of a sudden.
The reason being that the badge that the Magical Hair Sword G.o.d had given to him in his Sumeru Ring was emitting an ancient glow.
Why would the Magical Hair Sword G.o.d be looking for him now?
The thought crossed his mind, as he quickly scanned the badge with his Divine Sense.
"Qin Nan, something has happened, so I can only contact you with the badge.
"I"ve asked Madam Heavenly Fortune to calculate the odds and she has reached out to me today. The Death Crystal that Jiang Bilan turned into is very likely to have accidentally entered the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce due to some unknown circ.u.mstances.
"You should head to the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce and search for it."
An imperious, ancient voice echoed in Qin Nan"s mind.
The voice belonged to the Martial Serendipity Pavilion.
"What? Entered the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce?"
Qin Nan was startled when he heard the words.
He could not care less how the Death Crystal ended up in the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce, but most importantly, the copper mirror had mentioned that the Death Crystal could only comprehend the origin of death while drifting in the boundless rift, so that Jiang Bilan could comprehend the Dao herself.
If the Death Crystal had somehow entered the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce, how could she possibly comprehend the Dao herself now?
"No way, I have to find her as soon as possible and put her back into the rift."
Qin Nan took a deep breath to calm his thoughts and made up his mind. He sat with his legs crossed, took out the ancient key, and directed his cultivation will into it.
The same as the last time, Qin Nan"s consciousness became dormant. When he became conscious again, he found himself in the body formed by his cultivation will at Ancient City Taia.
The city was a lot livelier than it had been during his last visit. There were close to forty Martial Monarchs in the city.
"The Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce is incredibly vast, with no sign of an end. How long will it take to find the Death Crystal if I were to search aimlessly? I"ll have to come up with a plan."
Qin Nan pondered instead of making his move.
"Right, I should look for Old Man Taia."
Qin Nan"s eyes flickered.
Old Man Taia was the Weapon Spirit of Ancient City Taia. If the Death Crystal had accidentally entered the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce, there was a chance that he would know.
If he knew about it, it would make the situation a lot easier.
After coming to a conclusion, Qin Nan walked out from the alley he was in.
He had only traveled a short distance when he saw a figure flying rapidly not far away.
Qin Nan was stunned after taking a glance at the figure.
The t.i.tle of the figure turned out to be "G.o.d of Thieves", the same t.i.tle that had captured his attention the last time.
"Huh?"
The G.o.d of Thieves came to a stop.
"F**k me? Duan Qing? Who the h.e.l.l are you? Why are you using this t.i.tle?"
The G.o.d of Thieves approached Qin Nan as he said in an aggressive tone.
However, when Qin Nan heard the words, his eyes immediately flickered in astonishment.
He was extremely familiar with the voice; it was clearly Sima Kong"s voice.
This G.o.d of Thieves, he was, in fact, Sima Kong.
"You"re...Sima Kong?"
Qin Nan tried to calm himself down.
"s.h.i.+t? How did you know I"m Sima Kong? Wait, wait, that voice..."
"F**k me! Are you Qin Nan?"
Sima Kong was dumbfounded too.
He never thought he would stumble into Qin Nan here.
"It"s me, but how did you come into this Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce?"
Qin Nan asked immediately.
It was clear that only Martial Monarchs were able to enter the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce.
Sima Kong did not take part in the Monarch Horoscope Contest, thus it was impossible for him to enter the s.p.a.ce without achieving the Martial Monarch Realm.
Does this mean that Sima Kong had managed to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm on his own too?
"HAHAHA, have you forgotten who I am? I"m the G.o.d of Thieves, Sima Kong!" The man burst out laughing after confirming Qin Nan"s ident.i.ty. "The old Emperor of Thieves mastered some tricks about this Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce, so I can easily sneak inside here with them...
"Wait, how did you get in here?"
Sima Kong soon reacted with a confused expression.
He had not just entered using the tricks left by the Emperor of Thieves, but had also paid a great price on top of that, which had almost cost his life.
"Does that mean, you have..."
Sima Kong shuddered when he came to a realization.
"Mm, you"ve guessed it right."
Qin Nan let out a calm smile.
"d.a.m.n! Holy c.r.a.p! The Heavens are unfair! The Heavens are unfair! How is it that I, Sima Kong, the G.o.d of Thieves who"s a law-defying genius that would only appear every one million years has still not achieved the Martial Monarch Realm on my own?"
Sima Kong wailed.
He had initially planned to find some great stuff in the Abstruse G.o.d s.p.a.ce and show them off to Qin Nan in the future.
How could he be a show off now?
"Mm? Old Man Taia? We"ll talk after, come with me."
Qin Nan suddenly discovered something, who urged and flew forward rapidly.
"Hey, why are you in a rush? Wait for me, I"m still a Martial Progenitor!"
Sima Kong collected his thoughts and used all of his might to chase after Qin Nan.
