Peerless Battle Spirit Chapter 990 – Returning to Canglan

Chapter 990 – Returning to Canglan
“Give up or continue?” Qin Nan was left speechless, “At least tell me what it is about?”
“The Tribulation of Three Lifetimes; continue, or give up.” The mysterious woman said in a cold tone.
“Tribulation of Three Lifetimes? What’s that?” Qin Nan squinted.
Judging from the power of the copper mirror, and the reaction of the Heaven-Shattering Monarch and the Martial Serendipity Pavilion, it was clear that the mysterious woman’s background was utterly terrifying.
Why would such a person let him hold onto the copper mirror, golden seal, and red string?
There must be a reason behind it.
“You’re asking too many questions.” The woman snapped, “You just need to tell me, continue, or give up?”
“I don’t really like the idea of giving up. I’ll continue then.”
Qin Nan said calmly.
Even though the mysterious woman was as cold as ice, he could not help but admit that the copper mirror was a huge factor as to why he was able to survive in most of the dangerous situations. As such, although he was clueless about the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes, he felt obliged to accept it.
It was just the way it was; when you somehow obtained something powerful, you had to take on the responsibility.
The mysterious woman fell silent for a moment, before saying, “Alright, wait.”
“Wait? Wait for what?” Qin Nan could not help but ask.
This time, the mysterious woman did not answer him, as the glow on the copper mirror slowly vanished.
“Qin Nan, how is it? Strange, even my Emperor of Thieves’ Seal can’t remove the red string from your hand. This is weird…” Sima Kong frowned. As the successor of the Emperor of Thieves, he was extremely familiar with ancient artifacts, but this red string was nothing he had seen before.
Qin Nan began to scan his body, and shook his head as he failed to detect anything out of place.
Apart from the Tribulation of Three Lifetimes, the red string had not brought any change to his body, thus he was unsure if it would come in handy in the future.
“Forget it, I should spend more time comprehending my skills. We’ll go to the Yellow Spring Shop at midnight.”
Qin Nan said to Sima Kong before closing his eyes.
…Meanwhile, in the Nine Heavens!
A magnificent palace stood firmly in a boundless icy valley, and at its top, a woman was staring into the sky as her white robe flapped elegantly to the wind.
The sky was filled with countless stars of various colors, and her eyes were fixated on a golden one.
The star represented the Canglan Continent, the place she had come from.
A moment later, the white-robed woman withdrew her gaze as she spoke with an expressionless voice.
“Chi Liang!”
Whoosh!
A figure with a terrifying aura appeared before the woman and knelt on his knee, “Empress, what’s your order?”
“Spread my command, activate the Immortal Dao Monolith!”
“Open the Crimson Demon Entrance!
“Activate the three thousand Great Immortal Formations!
“Summon the five hundred Immortal Generals back at once!”
A formidable aura was unleashed by the white-robed woman, causing the snow to freeze in the air.
“Empress, this…” Chi Liang’s eyes flickered with astonishment, “Is it time for war?”
He clearly knew the consequences of declaring war!
The world would be in chaos!
“No.”
The white-robed woman glanced at the golden star once again and said, “Prepare to break the Canglan Sea, I’m going back…to Canglan!”
BANG!
As the words were uttered, it felt like countless dragons were roaring in the world.
…Meanwhile, in the Canglan Continent, the Nameless Forbidden Area of the half-God region!
The Nameless Forbidden Area had been free of any sign of life for a very long time, as if it had been abandoned by the world, completely forgotten.
However, deep inside the place stood a boulder, on which was carved an ancient formation.
Rustle…
A bloody figure wearing a black robe walked out from the shadows and sat with his legs crossed before the boulder.
At that instant, the formation on the boulder suddenly emitted a faint glow. It felt like the formation was corroded by some invisible force, causing it to slowly dissipate.
“This——”
The figure stared with his eyes open wide while experiencing a great shock in his heart.
Eight thousand years, it had been eight thousand years. Was senior finally returning to the Canglan Continent?
“HAHAHA, you didn’t lie, you really didn’t lie to me!” The figure burst out laughing, “Canglan, she’s coming back, she’s coming back. I can’t wait to see how you’re going to defend your South-Heaven Gate! The creatures on this continent are about to be freed!”
How long had he been waiting for this!
“Once the formation is destroyed, the empress will be back! At this rate, twenty years…no, in ten years, she will return! Hehehe, Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, haven’t you two been waiting for this moment too?”
The eyes of the figure flickered, “Just a little longer! Ten years, only ten years, only ten years…”
He fell silent after repeating the same phrase many times.
Unlike before, an aura was pulsating in his body.
It was hope.
That being said, not a single person in the entire Canglan Continent was aware of what had happened in the Nine Heavens and the Nameless Forbidden Area, including the strongest authorities. Everyone continued with the tasks at hand, with countless cultivators either rising, or turning into ashes.
……
……
The auction soon came to an end. The news immediately spread in the Righteous Ancient City, becoming a hot topic among the cultivators, especially the speculation about the mysterious Martial Monarch Realm expert.
Time gradually passed, and it was soon night time.
However, there were still cultivators roaming on the streets that night. Their eyes were filled with excitement.
Many cultivators were here for the Yellow Spring Shop!
Finally, at midnight, as the chilly wind began to blow upon the place, countless demons and ghastly figures appeared.
“Quick, catch the Yellow Spring demon!”
“Gasp, I’ve got one!”
“Be gone, this one is mine!”
Shouts and yells filled the city as countless Monarch Art glows flickered on the streets.
At the inn, Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open.
“Damn, how long do I have to wait for you?” Sima Kong twisted his neck and chuckled, “Come, let me show you the capabilities of the God of Thieves!”
