Chapter 1463 - Secluded Cultivation

"The sacred corpse must have stayed inside this stone palace for more than ten thousand years. The battle intent is already showing some consciousness, I shall cultivate in seclusion here."

Qin Nan soon calmed his thoughts and made up his mind.

"Divine Battle Spirit!"

He went deeper into the stone palace, sat with his legs crossed and unleashed the Divine Battle Spirit to absorb the abundant battle intent into his body.

Meanwhile, the discussion between the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries and the experts of the Battle Tribe took place too.

Eight days later, the meeting finally came to an end.

Apart from providing some natural herbs and materials to support the Anti-Heaven Alliance, when the God Horoscope Contest took place, Martial God Guli would defend the Battle Tribe with some people, while the rest would assist Qin Nan with all they had.

If Qin Nan managed to acquire the God Horoscopes and trigger the Tribulation, Martial God Zhanyuan, Martial God Zhanhuang and the rest of the Martial Gods would use their artifacts to lend Qin Nan a hand.

That being said, if they felt that Qin Nan would not make it, the Battle Tribe could choose to retreat instead of risking their lives.

Meanwhile, if Qin Nan successfully achieved the Martial God Realm, he would help them to suppress the seven other ancient tribes, allowing the Battle Tribe to dominate them.

As for the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries, it also revealed the secret about the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear after explaining their plan.

However, it did not mention a word about Empress Feiyue.

As a safety precaution, the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries took out the oath that Empress Feiyue had handed it and asked the experts of the Battle Tribe to swear it.

If anyone who had sworn the oath leaked a single word about the plan, they would suffer great consequences, the force in their bodies would collapse on their own.

"Cultivator Seven Luminaries, if Alliance Leader Qin Nan has the time, is it possible for him to give some advice to the disciples of our tribe?"

Martial God Zhanyuan probed. Many experts were looking forward to it too.

They had witnessed Qin Nan's talents. It would be helpful if the young cultivators of the Battle Tribe could learn a thing or two from Qin Nan's advice.

"Alright, I'll let him know."

The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries smilingly nodded.

For the rest of the time, apart from cultivating in seclusion, Qin Nan would occasionally give Zhan Bawang, Zhan Xiaoxian and the geniuses of the Battle Tribe some advice.

Although Qin Nan was not an experienced teacher, the geniuses still learned a lot when Qin Nan told them his comprehension of Martial Skills and the Four Extremities. Some even had a breakthrough after listening to his advice.

Time gradually passed. Two years were gone fairly quickly.

In these two years, even though Qin Nan did not show himself in the Canglan Continent, the atmosphere in the Middle Continent and the half-God region gradually intensified.

Lots of ancient ruins began to show up in the Hundred Great Mountains in the Middle Continent to choose their successors.

Among these successors, some were ancient Martial Monarchs who had achieved the Martial Monarch Realm for thousands of years. Some were young geniuses who had only achieved the Martial Monarch Realm for a few hundred years. Not one of them was a Martial Progenitor.

In addition to that, the ancient existences in the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, Martial Principle Sect, Jade-Lake Sacred Ground, God Beast Forbidden Ground, Lost Herb Garden, Wretched Disaster Forest, Nine Words Ancient Sea and other forbidden grounds, and the Dead Spirit Tribe, Flame Tribe, Undead Tribe and the rest of the ancient tribes finally woke up and proceeded to make arrangements.  

The disciples and tribesmen of each faction and clan started exploring some ancient forbidden places. Even the Heavenly Fortune Tribe which had long disappeared had shown up.

On top of that, among the famous genius Martial Monarchs, Xiao Yunjue, Wan Fenghun, Li Qimo, and the others had achieved the eighth-layer Martial Monarch Realm, and were strong enough to take on peak Martial Monarchs.

Most astonishingly, Tang Qingshan entered the Boundless Ice Sea and fought with one of the three geniuses who had surpassed the rules of cultivation, Zhuang Cidao for a few days straight. The fight ended in a draw, shocking the world.

Many cultivators assumed that Tang Qingshan had most likely surpassed the rules of cultivation too, making him the fifth genius to have done so.

In comparison, it had been two years since Sheng Tianjing and Su Qingning last appeared. It was as if they had vanished. Many people believed they were having some breakthrough in seclusion to prepare themselves for the God Horoscope Contest.

Meanwhile, the Martial Gods, Martial Monarchs, Martial Progenitors and even Martial Sacreds were keeping an eye out for any information related to Qin Nan while waiting for the day of the God Horoscope Contest.

They could not wait to see if the peerless figure could defy the laws and overcome the deadly trap waiting for him, or die trying.

Time gradually passed. Two months later...

In the north of the half-God region, there was a vast black land. Even the plants with the strongest vitality could not survive here. There was not a single drop of water or gust of wind. It was spacious yet deadly silent.

However, there were many cultivators nearby, some even resided here for quite a long time.

These cultivators had come from various factions. Their job was to collect information.

The vast black land was the infamous Land of the Deceased Gods. Rumors said that many Martial Gods had fallen here, thus even the Great Dao of the Heavens and Earth could not intervene with it.

The God Horoscope Contest was held here every time.

"That was close, the cultivator from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground has an extraordinary pair of eyes. He almost saw through my disguise," said an ordinary-looking young man in the outer perimeter of the Land of the Deceased Gods.

"Be careful, you'll want to be dead than be caught by them!"

Another slightly older cultivator snapped, "It's our chance, we can't mess it up!"

Unlike the other factions, the cultivators in charge of collecting information in the Anti-Heaven Alliance were carefully chosen through difficult trials. Those who accomplished their tasks would be granted incredible benefits, including successions of Martial Arts.

"Mm, if we succeeded, I can finally get a Return-Battle Eight Spirit Pill, allowing me to become an Unbeatable Martial Progenitor..."

The ordinary young man nodded. However, before he could finish, he caught a glimpse of an ancient god glow emitting from the vast black land.

"This..."

The young man's eyes widened.

"What is it?"

The other cultivator turned around. His heart shuddered when he saw the ancient glow. After some time, he quickly collected his thoughts with heavy breathing, "Quick, send a message to the Hall Leader!"

In addition to them, the cultivators of the other factions were astounded by the sight too. They immediately reported back to their factions.
