Chapter 1458 - Refinement Begins
Qin Nan took a deep breath.
The Tribulation of Three Lifetimes was a lot scarier than he had imagined.
No wonder Empress Feiyue sternly asked whether he was willing to accept it or give up when he obtained the copper mirror, golden seal and red string.
"Hang on, how is your present life able to come and kill you?"
Qin Nan soon realized something.
For example, if Empress Feiyue was currently just a Martial Monarch, and the peak of her current life was the Heaven Immortal Realm, how could she possibly achieve the Heaven Immortal Realm if she was killed by her current life?
Having this thought, Qin Nan was utterly astounded.
If her present life and future life showed up, it would greatly affect her fate and destiny too.
How extraordinary was the Art of Three Lifetimes to able to go so far?
"If my current life"s cultivation is stronger than my cultivation now, it means I"ve overcome the Tribulation. However, if her cultivation is the same as mine, it means I"ve failed."
Empress Feiyue was like eternal-lasting ice. She did not show any emotion even when speaking about her death.
"It does seem that way..."
Qin Nan nodded, before he quickly realized a scary thing, "Will your current life and future life suppress their cultivation just like your past life?"
If their cultivation was not suppressed, the whole Canglan Continent would face destruction. No one could possibly escape.
"Most likely, but I have no clue about the details."
Empress Feiyue said coldly. Although she had invented the Art of Three Lifetimes, its power was absolutely terrifying. Even now, she had yet to fully master it.
"If you"re scared, you can choose to give up."
Empress Feiyue said all of a sudden.
"Oh?"
Qin Nan raised his brows.
"Giving up on the copper mirror, golden seal and red string means you"ve given up on overcoming the tribulation."
Empress Feiyue added after the previous sentence, "That being said, my past life, present life, and future life will still hunt you down, and look for the next candidate to overcome the tribulation."
Qin Nan"s lips twisted upon hearing this.
What difference did it even make?
"Don"t worry, when your Tribulation of Three Lifetimes comes, I"ll give you my full a.s.sistance."
Qin Nan straightened his face.
The Tribulation of Three Lifetimes did sound terrifying, but since he had become the chosen one to overcome it, there must be a way somehow. Besides, without the copper mirror"s help, he would have died many times in the past.
"Don"t tell anyone that you"ve learned here."
Empress Feiyue acted as if she did not hear Qin Nan"s promise. She gave the advice before her voice echoed in the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword, "The Tribulation of Three Lifetimes is still not here yet. My past life is the least of our concern."
"As a safety precaution, you should contact the Battle Tribe and let Qin Nan head there at once. Don"t show yourself until the day for you to achieve the Martial G.o.d Realm."
The ultimate secret of the Battle Tribe must be related to the Divine Battle Spirit.
Visiting the Battle Tribe was surely the best option for Qin Nan. Perhaps he could further improve his cultivation.
"Acknowledged!"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others nodded immediately. They quickly transmitted their thoughts through the badge that was given to them by the Battle Tribe.
They had to make preparations before departing for their destination.
"Wait."
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch looked at Qin Nan and said, "Before you leave for the Battle Tribe, you must come with us to refine the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear."
"Me too?"
Qin Nan was stunned.
"Of course, not that I"m underestimating you, but if you don"t refine it now and claim its owners.h.i.+p, once it"s completed and has its own Weapon Spirit, no one in the Canglan Continent could possibly overpower it."
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch wore a proud gaze, before his side glance caught a glimpse of the saber intents emitting from Qin Nan"s right arm. His eyelids blinked as he said, "That being said, even the spear won"t dare to cause any trouble with that thing here."
"Alright, please lead the way."
Qin Nan brought his fists together and followed the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the others to the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch"s s.p.a.ce.
Different from his last visit, the enormous s.p.a.ce now had an enormous, ancient cauldron with wisps of illusionary flames burning inside it.
The flames were utterly terrifying. Even Qin Nan"s monarch force became restless when he sensed the energy inside the cauldron.
"You won"t need to do much, just give us ten drops of your blood and your will every hour when the time comes!"
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch wore a stern look. He nodded at the Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain before they rose into the air.
Five Martial G.o.d dragon corpses, over seven hundred Martial Monarch dragon corpses, the Netherworld Yellow Spring, the Crimson Leaf Golden Armor, the Traceless Wind and thousands of ancient, rare materials were inserted into the cauldron.
The two seniors performed a hand seal and used their G.o.d force to control the flames.
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch grabbed forward, summoning an ancient hammer in his hand. With a flicker, the hammer pounded heavily, producing great blasts.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. Ten days later, the thing inside the cauldron changed rapidly into a pitch-black object which looked like a giant rock over eight zhang tall.
A terrifying aura burst out from it. The whole s.p.a.ce began to tremble.
"Go!"
Qin Nan reacted quickly and inserted ten drops of his blood and his will into the cauldron.
ROAR!
Even after being refined for so many days, the object still uttered a blasting roar, as if it was not willing to accept Qin Nan as his master.
"You think I"m no worthy to be your master when I"m already his master?"
Qin Nan"s eyes flickered coldly. His right arm exploded into the Heaven-Shattering Saber and emitted wisps of icy saber intents.
Buzz!
The object shuddered. Its formidable aura instantly dissipated.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber"s power was tightly bound to Qin Nan"s cultivation, thus it would continue to grow as Qin Nan"s strength improved. As such, the power it contained was not as overwhelming as the object, yet the Heaven-Shattering Saber"s level was many times greater than it.
"Well done!"
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch turned his head looking at Qin Nan and said, "I"ll enter the rift with them to refine the weapon. Once it"s done, you can summon it with a single thought, but remember, you can only use it once. It will cease to exist after you"ve used it."
Saying this, he closed his eyes and focused on refining the weapon.
The Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain nodded at Qin Nan before they closed their eyes too.
"Qin Nan, we"ve contacted the Battle Tribe. I"ll bring you there now."
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries calmly said with a smile.
"Mm."
Qin Nan was about to make his move when he remembered something. He took out his badge and transmitted a message to the Dragon Emperor.
"Senior Dragon Emperor, please tell every cultivator of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, there are only between two to three years left!"
They had now started to refine the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear.
Around two to three years later, the G.o.d Horoscope Contest would take place. He would refine the G.o.d Horoscope, achieve the Martial G.o.d Realm and wage a war against the Heavens!
