Chapter 1009 – The Last Trial
“The Well of Love? I can see my beloved?”
Qin Nan hesitated before he slowly approached the well.
He was not worried that the man was trying to trick him. There was no way he would stand a chance against a half-Martial G.o.d Realm expert. The main reason being that he had spent most of his focus on cultivation, thus he had not had any time for romance.
However, since he was there, he was curious to see who the person would be.
Qin Nan walked toward the well and lowered his head. The water at the bottom of the well was clear.
A sudden breeze appeared, causing Qin Nan’s figure to shudder. A ripple appeared on the surface of the water, as the attractive face of Princess Miao Miao slowly surfaced.
Qin Nan’s heart began to race.
The water rippled once again, as the face was soon replaced by an attractive short-haired woman, Jiang Bilan.
Qin Nan’s eyes widened, causing the image to change again into a mirror, followed by Yu Luosha, an expressionless Mu Mu, and the seductive Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast…
The water rippled once again.
In the end, the faces of Sima Kong, Tang Qingshan, Gong Yang, Longhu, even the two hounds and one mouse took turns to appear.
Qin Nan could feel himself being doused by a bucket of cold water as he collected his thoughts, causing his lips to start twitching.
The Well of Love?
Seeing the face of his beloved?
He loved Tang Qingshan? Sima Kong? Gong Yang? Longhu?
He loved the two hounds and one mouse?
“Too bad, this Love of Well isn’t complete, thus it won’t be able to show you the right person.” The pitch-black man was peeking into the well too as he spoke with a calm look, “But you have to believe me, you do have someone whom you’re in love with.”
“Senior, let’s not talk about this, as I’ll find who she is myself in the future.” Qin Nan said with an expressionless face, “Senior, let’s talk business, why did you open the ancient bomb? To devour someone? To be reincarnated? Or to find a successor?”
Qin Nan was not scared that the man would devour him, as he was under the protection of the copper mirror.
If the man were trying to find a successor, it would be great news for him.
“None of them.” The man said with a calm tone.
“None of them?” Qin Nan was startled.
“I’m not dead, why would I try to devour someone? As for a successor, I’m too lazy for that.” The pitch-black man stretched and said indifferently, but the words served as a great explosion to Qin Nan’s ears.
Not dead?
If this half-Martial G.o.d Realm expert wasn’t dead, why would he build a tomb?
“I had no choice but to fake my death.” The man’s eyes flickered coldly, “You might think that a cultivation of the half-Martial G.o.d Realm is incredible, but it’s still not the limit of the Canglan Continent. Once, a Martial G.o.d, three half-Martial G.o.ds, and eight Martial Monarchs of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground tried to hunt me down. If I didn’t fake my death, there was no way I would be alive now.”
“A Martial G.o.d, three half-Martial G.o.ds, and eight Martial Monarchs?”
Qin Nan took a deep breath.
The gathering was utterly terrifying.
What exactly had he done to be hunted by so many experts?
“Remember the statues on the first-floor, they are the ones that tried to hunt me down.” The man’s voice became calm, “I’ve always been waiting to return to the world, to make them pay for what they’ve done!”
A terrifying murderous intent was unleashed.
The entire desert began to tremble, as if his anger was affecting the Heavens and Earth.
“Senior, if you’re not dead, why did you open the tomb?” Qin Nan was not influenced by the aura.
“I won’t be able to leave within ten years, but recently I’ve learned something, so I need someone to do me a favor.” The man said.
“A favor?”
Qin Nan was startled.
“I won’t tell you now. I will only tell you after you’ve pa.s.sed the trial.” The man withdrew his aura, who wore a smile as he spoke, “You’re quite extraordinary to be able to find this place. Why not listen to my story?”
The man added, “Once the others have reached the highest floor, I’ll teleport you there too.”
“Sure.”
Qin Nan immediately accepted.
The others would need to go through great danger in order to reach the highest floor. Even though they would obtain something useful along the way, their strength would be weakened too.
He would be granted a great advantage if he were teleported to the highest floor straight away.
“Three hundred and twenty-three years ago, in the Battle King Dynasty of the Western Continent, I was a prince since I was born, the youngest one. Luckily, I have a few brothers that loved me—at least not involving me in the fight for the throne… In the end, the dynasty was destroyed… My second brother, third brother, and fourth brother died trying to save me, just because of my naïve decision for that woman…”
The pitch-black man uttered.
There was no sign of sorrow or anger throughout the process, only calmness.
However, for some reason, when the man mentioned the woman, he could sense his pain.
Maybe he wasn’t as calm as he seemed to be.
A while later, the man suddenly stopped his speech and let out a sigh, “They have reached the end. It seems like I’ll have to finish the story another time.”
“Senior…” Qin Nan was about to say something.
The man wore a smile as he waved his hand, causing Qin Nan’s figure to be encapsulated by a magical force. Following this, his figure vanished into thin air.
Following this, the man turned around and leapt into the Well of Love.
He had forged the well himself.
It allowed him to return to the past, to see the woman he loved.
Even though it was only an illusion.
…Meanwhile, in the Half-G.o.d Tomb…
Whoos.h.!.+
As Qin Nan landed on the ground, he immediately scanned his surroundings with his left eye.
He was slightly astounded after taking a glimpse.
He was standing on a three hundred and sixty-seven zhang long and three hundred and twenty-three zhang wide ancient dojo, surrounded by forbidding auras. Even a powerful impact would not destroy the dojo. On its sides were countless seats made of jade.
This was a battling dojo!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh.
At that instant, several figures stepped out from the rift, who turned out to be the genius of the G.o.d Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, and the others. However, there were only eleven of them instead of twelve. It seemed like one of them had fallen on their way there.
“We finally got out of that place!”
“According to the phantom, this is the final trial!”
“Mm? Is this a dojo? Wait, someone’s there!”
The genius of the G.o.d Ranking, Dao Qianzhong, and the others checked their surroundings with excitement as soon as they arrived. They were stunned when they saw someone standing on the dojo, and were dumbfounded when they recognized them to be Qin Nan.
Buzz.
A great explosion took place in their heads, causing them to buzz.
Was that…
Qin Nan?
He was still alive?
