Chapter 1025 – The Top Hundred Rankings on the Monarch Ranking, the Storm in the Middle Continent
The breakthrough implied that Qin Nan’s strength had gone through a significant improvement.
His Destruction Martial Tree alone was enough to face an eighth-layer Martial Progenitor alone. He could even stand against a peak Martial Progenitor with his full strength.
“Thank you for your hard work.” Qin Nan glanced at the Dao Origin Crystal and inserted over ten streams of Vital Qi into it.
The Dao Origin Crystal let out a pleased buzz with a hint of joy.
Qin Nan smiled as he executed his left eye of the Divine God of Battle to observe the Human Peak.
The Qi of the Human Peak continued to increase and change every day, which was comparable to the Qi on the Battle Dragon Peak, the Nine-Tailed Peak, etc.
“It seems like the will of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch lent the Six-Spirited Dragon Vein a hand before it dissipated.”
Qin Nan mumbled to himself. The Six-Spirited Dragon Vein was currently cultivating in seclusion. Its aura was more terrifying than before, and was only a step away from reaching the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm.
Qin Nan shifted his gaze and saw the two hounds and one mouse were busy cultivating the Heavenly Fortune Force, which was relatively stronger than before. On the other hand, the skeletal Xiao Hong was training the other skeletons as they practiced some kind of formation.
Xiao Hong turned toward Qin Nan as if she was aware of being gazed at.
Qin Nan was slightly startled. Did he just see Xiao Hong smiling at him?
“Could it be that she still has her own consciousness from her past life?”
Qin Nan was confused.
At that instant, the number three hundred and one on his chest began to glow brightly, as the number began to change rapidly.
“Mm? The Monarch Ranking is adjusting our ranking?”
Qin Nan was stunned, before a grin appeared on his face.
This time, he had defeated many geniuses in the Battle of Eternal Darkness. How high would his new ranking be?
In the end, the number ended up as ninety-six, indicating Qin Nan’s new ranking to be ninety-sixth.
“Ninety-sixth?”
Qin Nan wore an astounded gaze.
The ranking was a lot lower than he had expected. Even though he had a great advantage in the Battle of Eternal Darkness as he possessed the left eye of the Divine God of Battle, his true strength was even stronger than what he had displayed, thus he could easily make it into the top fifty.
“The only explanation is that the other geniuses of the Middle Continent have all grown stronger!”
Qin Nan’s eyes flickered as he took out the badge of the Shadow Pagoda and transmitted a message.
It was time for him to understand the situation of the geniuses in the Middle Continent.
Meanwhile, due to the latest change to the Monarch Ranking, the Two-Starred and Three-Starred Factions of the Middle Continent immediately held important meetings with their disciples.
The Dragon Emperor Clan reacted the same way.
However, Qin Nan did not take part in it, as the meeting mainly focused on how much the ranking of each disciple had improved, thus it was more focused on the disciples ranked five hundredth to three thousandth. Those who were ranked highly like him would not benefit from it.
The badge of the Shadow Pagoda soon emitted a glow. Qin Nan inspected its contents with his Divine Sense. Following a glance, his lips curled upward as his eyes flickered faintly with excitement.
As Qin Nan was retrieving the latest information, the other factions and rogue cultivators were doing the same thing as well.
A while later, the news regarding the latest changes to the Monarch Ranking spread around the Middle Continent like a storm.
“Incredible! Qin Nan whose ranking improved by over seven hundred last time is now ranked ninety-sixth, now in the top hundred!”
“Damn, it only took him two months to enter the top hundred. Doesn’t that mean he could claim the top spot within the remaining four months at this rate?”
“I even heard that he managed to defeat Dao Qianzhong, Hua Dichen, and a genius of the God Ranking by himself recently!”
“Hehe, isn’t that too ridiculous? Even if it were real, there must be a reason behind it.”
“Gasp, look at that Fang Changqing, his ranking is now one hundred and ninth, that’s pretty insane too!”
“Who is that cultivator? His ranking has increased from eight hundredth to one hundred and thirty-second, not too far away from Qin Nan!”
“Are you kidding me, someone ranked over three thousandth on the Monarch Ranking has acquired a sixth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit through some succession?”
“What? Sixth-grade Tian ranked?”
Several shocking pieces of news were spread among people.
A few names that were unknown to the world before had finally attracted the cultivators’ attention.
Especially the news regarding the sixth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, Sorceress Qian Qian’s great defeat to the Sage, Dao Qianzhong being ranked seventh, and the battle between Shi Qingfan and the Martial Monarch Wang Liang, which left countless geniuses in awe.
That being said, many factions had chosen to conceal the fact that Qin Nan had obtained the treasure piece left by the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch after surviving the hunt by Thousand Light Saber Monarch and Martial Monarch Huo Ling, who had even pursued him to the Dragon Emperor Clan. Only a few rogue cultivators knew the truth.
In simple words, as the Monarch Horoscope Contest approached, the situation in the Middle Continent became even more unpredictable, with countless geniuses rising and falling rapidly.
It felt like a whole new era had begun, judging from the pace of the growth.
…Meanwhile, in the Human Peak of the Dragon Emperor Clan…
Qin Nan was extremely excited after reading the information.
Especially the news about Shi Qingfan.
He was the reincarnation of a Martial Monarch Realm expert, who had now received the full support of the Immortal Misty Sect. His strength was immeasurable due to the trump cards he now possessed, granting him the strength to stand against a Martial Monarch. He had no idea how powerful he would be when the Monarch Horoscope Contest took place.
Even though he had not surpassed the rules of cultivation, he was definitely a worthy opponent.
“I wonder what is happening in the half-God region when the Middle Continent is already so bizarre?”
The thought suddenly crossed his mind, prompting him to raise the badge and transmit another message.
The badge soon glowed brightly as it responded, “The Shadow Pagoda has no access to the news from the half-God region. Besides, you have finished your three free trials, thus we’re telling you this information for free.”
“I see…”
Qin Nan nodded, before shaking his head. It seemed like he could no longer simply ask for the latest information from the Shadow Pagoda.
“Forget it, I shall pay Senior Nine-Tailed a visit. Time is running out, and I will not halt here!”
Qin Nan rose from the ground and his figure disappeared following a kick.
…A while later, in the mysterious forbidden area of the Dragon Emperor Clan…
“You’re going out?” The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast’s watery eyes blinked rapidly as she spoke, “Mm, I do have the perfect job for you. All you need to do is give me a great massage every day, and I promise you your cultivation will improve within a month, how does that sound?”
“Senior, please stop making fun of me.” Qin Nan’s face blushed slightly. This Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast was getting more daring at teasing him.
“Keke, I won’t make fun of you again.”
The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast giggled in a seductive manner as she continued, “I do have a place in mind for you, known as the Desolated Battle Ground. It’s one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas. It’s located at the intersection between the Middle Continent and the half-God region. Prior to the establishment of the half-God region, a great number of enormous-scale battles took place there, thus countless experts fell in the same place, making it a great place to search for fortunate encounters. You can definitely have a go there with your current strength…”
The Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast added as she recalled something, “Besides, you can also head to the half-God region.”
“The half-God region?”
Qin Nan was startled.
