Chapter 1221 - The Underground Temple

As Skeleton Xiao Hong and her crew sneaked into the Ancient Battleground, in the Upper Arcana..

Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao followed the instructions on the map. Along the way, their cooperation had brought them shocking results, as they had discovered precious treasure.

The main reason for this was that Princess Miao Miao was the Princess of the Lost Herb Garden and her true form was a Nine-spirited Ascended Ginseng. It granted her the ability to control the flora within a large distance, thus allowing her to discover the treasure through them.

On top of that, Qin Nan's left eye of the Divine God of Battle could easily crack the forbidding formations, granting them access to the treasure.

Time gradually passed. An hour was gone in the blink of an eye.

Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao were getting closer to the destination on the map. The amount of treasure they had found kept on increasing as well.

To Qin Nan's disappointment, they did not stumble into anyone from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.

"Huh?" The Princess suddenly came to a stop. Her face was filled with excitement after she sensed the surroundings, "Qin Nan Nan, it looks like the place on the map is quite extraordinary. There are already three Martial Monarchs and eighteen peak Martial Progenitors there."

"Three Martial Monarchs?"

Qin Nan's eyes flickered.

The two exchanged glances with each other before nodding simultaneously. They withdrew their auras and flew into the distance like phantoms.

If the place was so extraordinary, they had no excuse not to go there.

However, since there were Martial Monarchs there already, they had to be extremely cautious.

The period it took an incense to burn later, the duo halted in their tracks.

The place ahead had an exceedingly huge ravine. Even though it had existed for a very long time, an endless stream of sword intent could still be felt emanating from it.

That alone was enough to indicate how overwhelming the cultivation of the person swinging the sword was.

Qin Nan slowly approached the ravine and peeked downward.

The bottom of the ravine was filled with strange-looking plants, lakes, and an ancient forest. Eighteen peak Martial Progenitors were currently in the ancient forest with their Martial Trees and Martial Spirits floating behind them as they executed their Monarch Arts. They appeared to be fighting against each other.

The cultivators consisted of disciples from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the Martial Principle Sect, the Eight Ancient Tribes, and three rogue cultivators. Qin Nan had no clue who they were, but he was quite familiar with two cultivators among them.

They were none other than Elder Cen Wu and Elder Liu Xue.

"If Cen Wu and Liu Xue are here, does that mean.."

Qin Nan's heart shuddered as he shifted his gaze.

Deep inside the ravine stood a giant ancient temple that was emitting a magical glow.

Three terrifying forces were crashing into each other inside the temple. Blinding monarch glows and formidable monarch auras swept the surroundings.

The giant temple shook vigorously, as if it were going to collapse at anytime soon.

Using his left eye, Qin Nan saw one of the Martial Monarchs was the Illusionist Martial Monarch.

As for the other two, one was a scholar-like middle-aged man, while the other was an old man in a taoist robe with fiery eyes.

"Martial Monarchs from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground and the Flame Tribe?"

Qin Nan raised his eyebrows and squinted.

It went without saying that the Martial Monarch of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground would try to kill him immediately as soon as he learned of his identity. He was surely the greatest threat among them.

As for the Illusionist Martial Monarch, even though he was not a life and death enemy, the two had been completely incompatible with each other. Qin Nan had already planned to teach him a lesson here at the Ancient Battleground.

Somehow, he had bumped into two groups of enemies at the same time.

"Let's see what they’re currently fighting for."

Qin Nan murmured as he looked ahead.

Following a glance, his eyes were filled with astonishment as his heart burned with passion.

The peak Martial Progenitors outside the palace were fighting for two Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits on an ancient tree. Meanwhile, the three Martial Monarchs were fighting inside the temple for a giant blue crystal, which contained twenty Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits within it.

That would be a total of twenty-two Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits, which were equivalent to three million three hundred thousand contribution points. If he could somehow acquire them, he would be able to redeem the piece of the Canglan Tree.

"Calm down, if I were to fight them head-on, I wouldn't have trouble dealing with the peak Martial Progenitors. The problem is the three Martial Monarchs. I wouldn't be able to defeat them with my current strength.."

Qin Nan quickly thought. After a brief moment, his eyes glistened.

He had come up with a great plan. Even though it seemed a little bit crazy with huge risk, it was definitely worth a try.

"Princess, you will attack first and secure the two Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits. Then you will use a strong attack on the temple. After that.."

Qin Nan turned around and said to Princess Miao Miao.

"Got it."

Princess Miao Miao's eyes flickered too.

She did not expect Qin Nan to come up with such a plan.

Although it sounded rather crazy and dangerous, she was surely a fan of it.

She had completely lost her ground when she was told the number of Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits there were in the ravine. As long as she had a chance, she would go for it.

Whoosh.

Princess Miao Miao flew straight toward the ancient forest with a kick.

"Who's there?"

Cen Wu and Liu Xue were startled. They did not expect someone to interfere in the battle at this time.

The other cultivators raised their heads and glanced at the intruder too.

On a side note, Princess Miao Miao had made sure that she did not attract the attention of the three Martial Monarchs.

"A born ruler, giving orders to all living things, Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits, to me."

Princess Miao Miao's body emitted a golden glow like a peerless empress. Her presence was utterly imposing. With a single wave, the ancient tree which bore the two Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits began to buzz as if it were responding to the call. It broke free from the ground and flew toward Princess Miao Miao on its own.

"Is that.."

Cen Wu, Liu Xue, and the rest of the cultivators were startled. They had never seen such an unimaginable method.

"You won't have it your way!"

The cultivators were infuriated upon collecting their thoughts. They immediately fired powerful monarch arts at the Princess.

Princess Miao Miao seemed to have predicted their moves. She stomped the ground, spreading golden rays from her back. Her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye before reappearing at another spot.

"Lotus of the Land!"

Princess Miao Miao performed a hand seal with a shout. A magical force was unleashed from her body.

The plants and trees in the huge ravine acted as if they were being summoned by their emperor. They unleashed a green glow and gathered in the air, which formed an enormous lotus with a terrifying aura.

"Such a terrifying monarch art!"

Cen Wu, Liu Xue, and the cultivators could feel their scalps going numb as they took a few steps backward!

With their current strength, they would not have any chance of defending themselves from the attack!

"Break!"

historical

Princess Miao Miao waved her hand forward. Under the crowd's astonished gaze, the lotus slammed right into the ancient temple!
