Chapter 1430 - Drought Demon Immortal Tomb
"A fascinating thought."
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment.
From his understanding of the Divine Battle Force's extraordinariness, his power would evolve if he combined it with his monarch force. Once he achieved the Martial God Realm and comprehend the Ultimate of Cultivation, his power would evolve once again.
Therefore, he would not have a problem probing the new level after the two level-ups.
"However, if I want to succeed, I'll have to focus on both aspects simultaneously."
Qin Nan soon discovered the problem with his outstanding Martial Skill Talent.
If the two did not improve together, or if one of them did not hit the mark, the level-ups would fail, putting his effort in vain.
"The ideal match of time, location and person, the first two conditions are already achieved. The rest is up to you now."
The icy figure glanced at Qin Nan. She turned into an icy ray and reentered Qin Nan's body.
"Thanks."
Qin Nan brought his fists together. He sat on the ground with his legs crossed and communicated with the Divine Battle Spirit to cultivate.
Since the Divine Battle Force was so powerful, there must be a limit to the amount he could absorb. He had to try how much he could absorb in a day.
Time gradually passed. Twelve hours were gone fairly quickly. He had accumulated six streams of Divine Battle Force in his body.
"Six streams a day, and it seems like I'll need at least a hundred streams before I start combining it with the monarch force to trigger the evolution."
Qin Nan murmured. He opened his eyes and scanned his surroundings, "I wonder if Old Man Chan Ming left some precious materials around here."
Having the Divine Battle Force alone was not enough. He had to rank up to the Martial God Realm too.
Even though he had mastered the Extremities in the Martial Monarch Realm, implying that he was only one step away from the breakthrough, the step alone would require a huge supply of energy.
"There's a cave here?"
A few moments later, Qin Nan captured an energy ripple from a mountain wall. He immediately headed toward it.
"Old Man Chan Ming was quite confident that no one would be able to make it this far. He only set up some simple mechanisms to protect the cave. I guess I'm in luck..."
Qin Nan broke through the forbidding formations with various methods and entered the cave.
"So many herbs?"
Qin Nan's eyes flickered with astonishment when he saw the sight in the cave.
Inside the cave, apart from a pitch-black boulder, there were lots of ancient pots filled with colorful soil. Each had a stalk of herb growing healthily, with a strong presence of immortal Qi.
If Qin Nan had the left eye of the Divine God of Battle with him, he would discover that under the ground below the cave were several formations that were absorbing the immortal Qi nearby and directed it toward the pots.
It was fairly tricky to plant immortal herbs while preventing them from having their own consciousness.
"What's on the boulder?"
Qin Nan's attention was soon attracted by the boulder. He proceeded to read the words on it. An hour later, he withdrew his gaze and came to a realization.
He was currently at the Drought Demon Battlefield, and deep inside it was the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb.
Although its name had the word 'immortal' in it, the tomb did not belong to an immortal, but a Heaven God Realm expert who had failed to achieve the Human Immortal Realm. He constructed the tomb as his lifespan diminished and left his succession in it.
For countless years, many geniuses, experts and rogue cultivators had come to this place to obtain the succession. However, no one had managed to acquire it.
The Drought Demon Red Jade Pendants that Qin Nan acquired before was the key that would lead him deep into the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb when it was accessible.
"No wonder Old Man Chan Ming had waited here for over a hundred years."
Qin Nan murmured.
The place he was currently at was rather extraordinary. The path outside the cave that was covered in a white mist led straight to the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb. Qin Nan did not necessarily have to cross the Demon Drought Battlefield to reach the tomb.
In addition to that, the boulder also recorded the procedures to refine a rare artifact called the 'Ancient Black Altar'.
The altar would allow its bearer to bypass the thirteen guardian spirits that were equivalent to fifth-layer Earth God Realm and the death traps left by the Human God Realm expert to acquire the succession.
"Only a month left until the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb opens. Old Man Chan Ming had finished refining the Black Ancient Altar. Such a pity, he chose not to believe me."
Qin Nan shook his head. He continued to absorb the Divine Battle Force inside the cave.
Even though the succession left by a Heaven God Realm expert was extremely precious, especially when the expert had attempted to level up to the Human Immortal Realm, Qin Nan's first priority now was to focus on improving his cultivation so he could lift the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear.
Meanwhile, on a godly mountain somewhere in the north...
The mountain was called the Pure Immortal Mountain. Its spirit had reached the Earth God Realm, who also possessed a wisp of immortal intent, granting it great potential in the future.
As such, the Pure Immortal Mountain had become the Pure Immortal Palace's forbidden area. Apart from the Patriarch and Grand Elder, no one was allowed to enter.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, two blinding glows entered the enormous palace at the top of the Pure Immortal Mountain before enlarging into two magnificent figures.
The two figures were the Patriarchs of the Swordless Sect and the Exalted Soul Sect. Both of them were peak Earth God Realm experts.
"Since you two have decided to come, I'll cut straight to the topic."
A old man with long white hair reaching the ground and a fly-whisk in his hand slowly rose to his feet and said with a misty voice, "Old Man Chan Hong is surely going to kill Qiu Hong. If he had waited at the Demon Drought Battlefield for a few hundred years, it's likely that he had found the Drought Demon Ancient Boulder."
"Drought Demon Ancient Boulder?"
The two Patriarchs were stunned. They had no clue that such a thing existed.
"This Drought Demon Ancient Boulder is..."
The old man slowly explained. After he finished, his eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying flicker, "Old Man Chan Ming is able to go deep into the Drought Demon Immortal Tomb straightaway. When the time comes, our three factions will work together and kill him when he tries to use the pendants to enter the tomb."
"I don't think it's that easy. Old Man Chan Ming is extremely cunning. It's possible that he already knew we will team up. He will surely come up with a plan."
The Patriarch of the Swordless Sect shook his head.
"That is why I've asked you two to come here."
The old man said with a smile.
The three Patriarchs began plotting their scheme in the palace. An hour later, the secret meeting finally came to an end. As soon as it ended, endless thoughts were transmitted back to the three factions.
A great conspiracy was in motion.
