Whoosh.
Qin Nan"s figure appeared from the rift and landed in a valley.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan"s eyes were filled with astonishment as he scanned his surroundings.
The entire valley was overgrown with strange-looking flowers and trees, while the ground and the surrounding mountains were piled with purple-golden remains of various sizes. Each remain was emitting an imperious aura with a strong battle intent despite having existed for a very long time.
With a rough glance, there were at least over a few hundred thousand remains nearby.
This was the Dragon Bone Cliff, the place where the remains of the Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Tribe were placed.
"No wonder the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast said that this place was perfect for me. The Qi, etc. inside this valley is quite overwhelming due to the presence of these dragon bones. making it an incredible place to cultivate."
Qin Nan wore a calm smile.
Even though he had failed to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast and the others were still treating him exactly the same way.
Qin Nan stopped himself from overthinking by shaking his head. He sat down with his legs crossed and unleashed the Divine G.o.d of Battle as he began to cultivate.
"Mm?"
As soon as he started absorbing the Qi, his eyes flickered with astonishment.
He discovered his rate of absorbing Qi had become significantly faster.
Normally, the rate of cultivation was tightly related to one"s Martial Spirit grade. Why would his rate of cultivation improve out of nowhere?
"Could it be the primary monarch force?"
Qin Nan observed his body for a moment before his eyes glistened.
The primary monarch force was considered one of the most mysterious forces of this world. Currently, he had stored a significant amount of it inside his body. Even though he had yet to refine it, it was highly possible that it would bring some unexpected change to his body as time went by.
"Time to cultivate!"
Qin Nan was a little overjoyed. He calmed his thoughts and began to absorb the Qi at his fastest pace.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. Five days later, following an explosion, Qin Nan"s aura became even more terrifying.
Within five days, his Destruction Martial Tree was now nine-zhang tall, while the Divine Battle Trees were each seven-zhang tall.
His strength had improved to the next level.
That being said, the reason he had been able to rank up so soon was because he had tried to inherit the Monarch Horoscopes twice during the Monarch Horoscope Contest. Even though he had failed both attempts, there was still some force that remained inside his flesh, blood, bones, etc.
Qin Nan was not in a rush to come out from seclusion. He inspected his strength closely before he continued to absorb the Qi.
Time gradually pa.s.sed. Another five days were gone in the blink of an eye...
At that instant, on the Touring Dojo of the Middle Continent...
Buzz.
Suddenly, an ancient, mysterious sound echoed through the sky, causing the cultivators guarding the perimeters of the place to become restless, as if they were being baptized by some invisible energy.
The sound was referred to as the sound of cultivation!
"Quick, tell the sect, Tang Qingshan and the others are coming out from seclusion!"
The cultivators soon reacted and took out their badges to spread the news.
A moment later, the news was spread throughout the entire Middle Continent like a storm with the help of the Shadow PaG.o.da!
"Sorceress Qian Qian, Ao Cangtian, and Tang Qingshan are coming out?"
"Tsk tsk, I believe it"s real. I heard that the factions are making their way to the Dragon Emperor Clan for the Monarch Ascending Ceremony!"
"The Monarch Ascending Ceremony, I wonder if there"s any way I can partic.i.p.ate in it?"
“……”
The cultivators discussed among themselves.
In the past, each time the Monarch Horoscope Contest of the Middle Continent ended, there would be a Monarch Ascending Ceremony. It somehow became a tradition over time, one that the people of the Middle Continent were excited about.
...Meanwhile, at the Dragon Emperor Clan...
The Dragon Emperor Clan burst into life the moment they received the news. Each of the fifty-eight mountains fired a dazzling beam of light with a unique color toward the giant black dojo floating in the center. At that instant, several golden rays were emitted from the black dojo into the surroundings rapidly.
In just a single breath"s time, a giant nine thousand zhang long glowing dojo appeared in the sky, surrounded by beams of light while the area at the front was decorated with seats embroidered with symbols of battle dragons.
"Disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan, listen up. The Monarch Ascending Ceremony begins now!"
An imperious voice could be heard coming from the sky, who turned out to be the Dragon Emperor!
Whoosh whoosh whoos.h.!.+
Powerful auras began to tear the rift apart as the disciples from every mountain made their way toward the entrance of the Dragon Emperor Clan and lined up on both sides of the path. The elders of the mountains floated in the air while remaining on guard!
"HAHAHA, it"s been a while since I"ve last visited the Dragon Emperor Clan!"
A burst of huge laughter could be heard, as the Extraordinary Saber Monarch appeared with a smile on his face. He approached the Dragon Emperor Clan with a strong monarch aura, followed by Dao Qianzhong and the rest of the elders, core disciples, and inner disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect.
From afar, it felt like an unmatched saber was going to slash the Dragon Emperor Clan in half.
Almost half of the people of the Heaven-Saber Sect were present.
"Tsk tsk, hey Extraordinary, you"re still the same as old times, huh, doing whatever you wish. Aren"t you scared that your Heaven-Saber Sect will be wiped out?"
Strange laughter could be heard coming from behind. Following this, a formidable demonic aura surged toward the entrance, bringing darkness to the place.
The person was an old man wearing a long dark golden robe with thinly spread hair and bloodshot eyes. He was extremely skinny, but the monarch aura emitting from his figure was quite intimidating.
The old man was none other than the current Patriarch of the Fallen Demon Villa, the Fallen Demon Monarch.
Similar to the Heaven-Saber Sect, the Fallen Demon Monarch was followed by a large group of elders, core disciples, inner disciples, etc., which combined into a shocking demonic presence as if a peerless demon had just appeared.
"Amitabha, old man, check your badge. A few of our warriors have just launched an attack on your sect."
An old man with a gentle look slowly appeared from the distance.
"HAHAHA!"
Another huge laughter could be heard.
In the next hour, the authorities of the Shadow PaG.o.da, the Chaos Sect, the Heartless Sect, the Sword Sect, the Wuji Alliance, etc. arrived with their disciples. That being said, apart from the Heaven-Saber Sect and the Fallen Demon Villa, most of them were only clones.
Despite that, it still caused the entire Dragon Emperor Clan to be covered in an outstanding monarch aura. The entire place became extremely lively as a result.
"Fellow Martial Monarchs, elders, and disciples from other factions, welcome to the Dragon Emperor Clan. Now, as the chief of the Dragon Emperor Clan, I now declare the Monarch Ascending Ceremony has begun!"
