Chapter 1406 - The Position of Alliance Leader

Meanwhile, somewhere in the rift of the Middle Continent, inside the Seven Luminaries Flying Sword...

After Qin Nan and the others entered the sword, they were sent to the deepest part by the sword glow.

No one knew that this place had a giant, colorful lake covering an area with a circumference of around five thousand zhang floating in the air.

At the middle of the lake was a thirty-seven zhang tall ancient tree. Its trunk was like jade, while its leaves were like ice. On top of that, its aura seemed fairly chaotic.

"Could this be..."

The ancient tree immediately grabbed the attention of Little Worm, Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain.

"It is exactly what you think it is. This is the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree. Magical Hair has coincidentally found a segment of its root, and after taking great care of it, it finally blossomed," the Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries came forward. Its face was pale white, while its voice was hoarse, as if it was suffering from some serious sickness.

"It's really the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree!"

Little Worm and the others immediately gasped.

In ancient times, the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree was only slightly weaker than the Canglan Tree.

That being said, some of the power it possessed even surpassed that of the Canglan Tree.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, a force magnificent like an ocean that came out of nowhere transformed into an ancient dragon and lunged at Qin Nan at a shocking pace.

The terrifying monarch force inside Qin Nan's body immediately burst out, trying to shatter the force into pieces.

However, there was still a final wisp of the force that managed to enter Qin Nan's body. His aura suddenly lost control, and vaguely appeared between the Heavens and Earth.

The Martial Serendipity Pavilion's eyes turned cold as he spoke, "It seems like the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking and South-Heaven Gate have teamed up and modified the rules of cultivation, to stop you from concealing your aura!"

"Just a while ago, those three great authorities have demanded every faction to spread out across the Canglan Continent and hunt Qin Nan down!" The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain glanced at his badge and said with a hollow laugh, "Who would think that the three great authorities would feel threatened one day!"

"Every...every faction?"

Sima Kong's face turned pale white instantly. Even the Dragon Emperor and Nine-Tailed Monarch Beast were startled too.

One against the world, the phrase was easy to understand and say, but when it actually happened, even the thought alone would cause one to feel like suffocating, with chills surging down their spine, let alone witnessing it.

"Qin Nan, are you scared, now that you're an enemy of the entire world?"

A calm voice said.

Three wisps of sword glows surfaced from the Bodhi Jade Soul Tree, which were the three Innate Sword Nascences that the Magical Hair Sword God had transformed into after he died.

The crowd immediately glanced toward the sword glows.

"Senior, I'm not afraid to go against the world, I don't regret it either," Qin Nan's voice was trembling slightly, "But..."

It felt like his throat was stuck completely, he did not know what to say further.

He was the bearer of the Divine Battle Spirit. There was no such thing as fear in his life.

However, the Magical Hair Sword God who had two clones achieving the Martial God Realm, mastered the Ultimate of Cultivation and even had the strength to leave a crack on the South-Heaven Gate, the man who had unlimited potential was willing to sacrifice it all just to let him observe the strength of the South-Heaven Gate!

How was he going to repay the man's favor?

Little Worm, Martial Serendipity Pavilion and the others fell silent.

They too agreed that it was not necessary for the Magical Hair Sword God to make such a huge sacrifice.

With Magical Hair's talent, capabilities and reputation, there was surely room for him to grow stronger. He could have waited for Qin Nan to achieve the Martial God Realm, and challenge the South-Heaven Gate together.

"Many people assume that I have extraordinary talents and capabilities, which would definitely lead me to greater achievements, but no one knew that when I achieved the fifth-layer Martial God Realm, I've lost the motivation to pursue higher cultivation. I just want to live a normal life, marry a wife and have kids, establish my own faction and teach Martial Arts," the voice of the Magical Hair Sword God echoed on the surface of the lake, "but in the end, she died, together with all of her tribe."

"The only reason was because the South-Heaven Gate tried to recruit me, but I didn't accept the offer. As such, the South-Heaven Gate listed me as a two-starred enemy, and killed the people close to me when I was away."

His voice remained calm, yet everyone was astounded.

"Since then, I went back to cultivate, helped the Sun and Moon and Nine Continents to improve further, and even put my life at stake and entered the Ancient Demon Path, to enter the Nine Heavens."

"I've done everything to get my revenge."

"But...the South-Heaven Gate is too powerful."

Magical Hair Sword God let out a soft sigh.

He wanted to destroy the South-Heaven Gate with his hands too. 

The long dress stained with blood, and the icy dead bodies, he still remembered them clearly.

However, after he went to the Nine Heavens, he realized that as long as his flesh was unable to reach the Nine Heavens, without self-achieving the Martial God Realm, no matter how strong he was, there was no way he could destroy the South-Heaven Gate.

"Master has once told me, that people who died would enter the Realm of Spirits, to prepare for reincarnation." 

"When I saw you self-achieving the Martial Monarch Realm, granting you the glimpse of hope to shatter the South-Heaven Gate. I was extremely relieved. I can't wait to pass on all the responsibilities onto you."

"I just want it to end earlier, so I can try to see if I can still see her."

Magical Hair Sword God said, "So, you shouldn't overthink it. I'm the one who has been setting you up all along, as I'm only a lost coward."

Each word that was uttered was like a force rippling on the surface of the lake, placing everyone in silence.

A coward?

Could a man who dared to sacrifice his life and challenge the South-Heaven Gate be a coward?

"Qin Nan, during your attempt to achieve the Martial God Realm, the situation is going to be a lot more dangerous. I've left three Innate Sword Nascences. Two of them contained five-tenths of my peak cultivation. I hope they can lend you a hand when the time comes."

As the three sword glows shuddered slightly, the Magical Hair Sword God's illusionary figure floated out. He looked at Qin Nan and said, "As your Alliance Leader, can I ask you one more favor? After you've achieved the Martial God Realm, can you bring this third Innate Sword Nascence and the people of the Anti-Heaven Alliance, and shatter the South-Heaven Gate?"

"Senior, I..."

Qin Nan was about to speak when he, Little Worm and the others lowered their heads after being aware of something.

They could only see Martial Monarch Guiwu, Illusionist Martial Monarch Ancient Lightning Martial Monarch and the others who once shared conflict with him, or the cultivators he never had any contact with flying out from the palaces. They stood in lines in the air and raised their heads, fixing their eyes on Qin Nan.

Even though they did not say a single word, the silence itself was more effective than ever.

Their gazes had already told Qin Nan their thoughts.

"Even though it's not good for a senior to set his junior up, and I've only left two Innate Sword Nascences for you, while the Anti-Heaven Alliance only has the last hundred people left, but will you allow me to set you up one more time?"

"From today onward, you are the Alliance Leader of the Anti-Heaven Alliance."

Magical Hair reached out his hand. A shining badge was placed in his palm.

At that instant, it felt like the whole place had frozen.

Although everything here was absolutely tiny compared to the danger awaiting them in the outside world, for some reason, the utterly stern and formal atmosphere continued to spread to the surroundings.

It was not just appointing the new Alliance Leader, but the passing down of will and responsibilities.

"I..."

Qin Nan took a deep breath. His gaze became firm like steel as he said, "Will not let you down!"

He knelt down on his knee and received the shining badge in front of the crowd.
