Chapter 1056 – Hua Dichen’s Thoughts
“The rogue cultivator, Death Cultivator, has slain the fifty-second ranked Luo Chao, fifty-fourth ranked Huangpu Wenqing, sixty-first ranked Baili Po, seventy-ninth ranked Fei Xue, and more—a total of twenty-three geniuses who were ranked in the top hundred. Countless Martial Monarchs are hunting her, but she has somehow disappeared.
“Dao Qianzhong fought against a genius of the God Ranking. The outcome of the battle is unknown, but his ranking has risen to fifth.
“Rogue cultivator Fang Changqing headed to the Ancient River Mountain Range and triggered a terrifying flood. He used it to cultivate, causing his ranking to increase to the forty-second.
“Sorceress Qian Qian fought against the Sage Chen Zilai. Chen Zilai lost the battle, Sorceress Qian Qian is now ranked second on the Monarch Ranking.
“Tang Qingshan’s ranking has risen to thirtieth, not far behind Dao Qianzhong.
“Rogue cultivator Ghastly Flame altered his destiny, acquiring a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit and a flesh matching the strength of a half-Martial Monarch. His ranking has improved by six hundred and ninety-nine, similar to Qin Nan’s improvement in the past.
“The seal of a terrifying Martial Monarch in the Ocean of Fear showed signs of activity.
“The Monarch Horoscope Contest of the half-God region has begun!”
“……”
Qin Nan was shocked learning the latest news.
The Death Cultivator was Jiang Bilan without a doubt. Why did she murder so many geniuses of the Monarch Ranking?
Where was she now?
Qin Nan frowned slightly, but his face soon became calm. Jiang Bilan was incredibly smart, thus she would have planned everything before making her move. Even if Martial Monarch Realm experts were hunting her, she would be able to survive it.
He continued to read the news after taking a deep breath.
Many incidents had taken place within the two months he had spent cultivating in seclusion. Each of them was related to the successions of forbidden areas, the change to the rankings, the findings of destiny-altering fortunate encounters, and the results of various battles. Every piece of news was exciting enough for the cultivators of the Middle Continent to discuss among themselves.
Although Qin Nan had not witnessed any of them, the description alone was enough for him to imagine the astonishing scenes where geniuses competed against each other. The winner was greatly respected and the loser despised. Some became legends, and some silently left the scene.
“I think cultivating in seclusion doesn’t suit me after all.”
Qin Nan let out a sigh.
He preferred to stir great chaos and compete with the other geniuses.
“I almost forgot to ask what’s going on with the Monarch Fish.”
Qin Nan recalled the matter and immediately sent a message to the Shadow Pagoda, which soon responded.
Qin Nan finally understood after reading the information.
The Monarch Fish would appear before every Monarch Horoscope Contest.
The fish was a godly being that belonged to the Monarch Ranking. No one knew where it came from or its secrets. It would appear somewhere in the Middle Continent and roam around.
The cultivators of the Middle Continent would then ride the Monarch Fish with their cultivation.
However, it was not an easy task. The cultivators would need to possess a certain level of strength or talent in order to ride it.
After riding the Monarch Fish, it would bring the geniuses and travel into the rift, allowing them to participate in all sorts of trainings, which were extremely useful for improving their cultivation.
Each time before the Monarch Horoscope Contest took place, those who managed to ride the Monarch Fish ended up altering their destinies. Some even acquired eighth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirits.
As such, countless geniuses would compete for the chance to ride the Monarch Fish when it appeared.
“It seems like the Monarch Fish is a great opportunity to improve our strength. However, I’m still confused, what is the Monarch Ranking trying to achieve with it?” Qin Nan murmured before shaking his head, “Screw it, I should try my luck too.”
Saying this, he quickened his pace and flew into the distance.
As he passed by the Crescent Sun City, he purposely stayed at the inn for the period of three incense sticks. However, he only heard people discussing the Monarch Fish. The people of the Blood Scorpion did not come and see him as he had imagined.
Shaking his head, Qin Nan decided against his desire to meet Gong Yang. He headed to the Middle Sector City and returned to the Dragon Emperor Clan after a few hours.
…Meanwhile, in the Dragon Emperor Clan…
Several powerful auras sprang into the sky from the mountains.
“Mm?”
Qin Nan raised his brows and scanned with his left eye. He immediately discovered the auras to be the disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan.
“Senior Brother Qin, You’re back?”
“Senior Brother Qin, congratulations on your new ranking!”
“Greetings, Senior Brother Qin!”
However, as he made his way to the Human Peak, many geniuses who stumbled into him said this with a complicated look on their faces.
“What’s going on?” Qin Nan was confused.
Even though he was not hated by the disciples of the Dragon Emperor Clan, the geniuses of the beast tribes had never treated him with respect until today.
“Hehe, it’s all thanks to your Beast-Hitting Stick. We went through three days of intense training, which helped our cultivation improve significantly.” At that instant, a hollow laugh could be heard.
The person was none other than Hua Dichen.
His strength had improved over the past few months, placing him at the tenth rank on the Monarch Ranking.
Qin Nan immediately came to a realization. He could not help but wear a smile as he imagined the scene.
While withholding his anger, Hua Dichen smilingly said, “Qin Nan, I have a favor to ask of you. Previously, a masked woman came looking for you. She is your friend right, what’s her name?”
Despite being a short meeting, the masked woman had left an inerasable image in his heart.
It was rare that a woman would give him such a first impression, thus Hua Dichen had no choice but to come to ask Qin Nan.
“Why are you asking this?” Qin Nan wore a cautious expression.
“Nothing, I just want to know her better.” Hua Dichen suddenly had a thought, causing his expression to change, “Could it be that she’s your companion?”
“Nope.” Qin Nan shook his head.
Hua Dichen let out a relieved sigh, “Since she’s not your companion, why can’t you tell me? Don’t tell me you’re still holding a grudge against me for what happened in the past…”
Before he could finish, Qin Nan said, “Although she’s not my companion, she has slept with me on the same bed.”
“What?”
Hua Dichen’s eyes widened.
Before he could react, Qin Nan had already left, returning to the Human Peak.
This Hua Dichen was interested in Princess Miao Miao?
He wished!
Qin Nan felt extremely pleasant as he recalled Hua Dichen’s expression. He scanned the Human Peak and shockingly discovered that the eight skeletons, the two hounds, and one mouse were gone.
“Qin Nan, you’re finally back. HAHA, are you looking for them? You were gone for two months, so I let them go and have their own adventure.” The Six-Spirited Dragon Vein said with a laugh.
“Adventure?”
Qin Nan was startled before he tapped on his head.
He had been occupied with his own cultivation, completely forgetting about the others. It was not a bad idea to let them train themselves as well.
A while later, the Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast’s voice echoed in the sky.
“The Monarch Fish is about to appear, every disciple ranked above the two thousandth rank is to gather on the dojo at once!”
