Chapter 982 – Mysterious Space

The saber intent was instantly shattered by the copper mirror as it entered Qin Nan’s Divine Sense.

“Again!”

Qin Nan took a deep breath and continued to comprehend the remaining Monarch Arts.

“Magnificent Flying Apsara!”

“Illusionary Phantom Art!”

“Fiery Cross Art!”

Qin Nan presented the six saber arts that he had comprehended, but the outcome remained the same, as if the eight ancient sabers treated Qin Nan as their greatest enemy. No matter what Qin Nan tried to do, they still attacked him.

“What should I do now?” Qin Nan frowned.

There were other ways to communicate with the sabers. Apart from the patterns on the sabers, there were also the arrangement of the sabers, the forest surrounding them, etc. However, Qin Nan’s greatest advantage was his Martial Skill Talent and Heaven-Shattering Saber.

If neither of these two methods worked, it would be quite tricky for Qin Nan to use another approach.

That being said, the words ‘giving up’ never existed in Qin Nan’s dictionary. He would never back off since he had promised the Extraordinary Saber Monarch.

The Heaven never bars one’s way!

Time quickly passed. As Qin Nan failed to come up with other ideas, he continued to try the same approach, but the outcome remained the same.

At last, a day had passed since the disciples began comprehending at the mountain.

“Two sabers! I’ve retrieved two sabers!”

“Phew, I’ve got one, it’s not the worst outcome!”

“HAHA, I’ve got three, enough for me to practice my Three Sabers Art!”

The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain became lively, as the outer disciples and most of the inner disciples had finished their attempts.

Qin Nan’s eyes sprang open as he observed the cultivators.

Since none of his methods worked, he should try observing the other cultivators to find some clues.

At that instant!

BANG!

Two of the ancient sabers suddenly emitted a blinding glow. Following this, Tang Qingshan who was beside Qin Nan was encapsulated by a powerful force, dragging him toward two ancient sabers with a magnificent aura.

“This…”

“Someone has awakened two ancient sabers!”

“Tang Qingshan has managed to summon two of the ancient sabers!”

“My Heavens, is he going to retrieve two of them at the same time?”

Countless disciples and elders were startled. Their gazes toward Tang Qingshan were filled with astonishment.

“Mm? Was that…” Qin Nan’s eyes were fixed at the waist of the mountain instead of glancing in Tang Qingshan’s direction.

Meanwhile, another ancient saber emitted a glow as a tremendous battle intent was fired into the sky.

Wen Wu’s figure landed before the ancient saber with a calm expression.

Before the crowd could react, Dao Qianzhong’s eyes sprang open as he unleashed a formidable aura. With a stomp, he dashed toward two of the ancient sabers, while the three ancient sabers on his back floated in the air.

“My strength wasn’t strong enough last time, failing to convince you, but it’s no longer the case this time. What are you waiting for? It’s time to follow me on my path of conquering the Middle Continent!”

Dao Qianzhong placed his hands behind him, unleashing an imperious aura.

The two ancient sabers vibrated vigorously as if they were touched by his aura.

At that instant, five of the ancient sabers on the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain were covered in a blinding glow, resulting in a mystical sight.

The disciples and elders were astounded!

“Five ancient sabers! A total of five ancient sabers!”

“Holy crap, Senior Brother Dao Qianzhong managed to comprehend two of the ancient sabers too!”

“This is shocking, it’s the first time five of the ancient sabers have been awakened at the same time!”

“Gasp, does that mean our Heaven-Saber Sect is about to rise?”

An aged elder’s eyes wore a blank expression. He had experienced two Monarch Horoscope Contests in his life, thus he was more knowledgeable than the others. “Nothing like this has ever happened in the previous two contests. Is this a coincidence, or the sign of a new era?”

At that moment, Tang Qingshan, Dao Qianzhong, and Wen Wu had entered the limelight!

Meanwhile, Cui Lixu and the other core disciples were extremely troubled. They clearly knew that if they were unable to retrieve any ancient sabers in the remaining time, their status in the Heaven-Saber Sect would be significantly affected.

However, it did not bother Qin Nan, whose eyes were still fixed on the waist of the mountain.

Previously, when Tang Qingshan had awakened the two ancient sabers, he could vaguely sense a force awakening inside the mountain. The force was weaker when Wen Wu finished her attempt, but it was stronger as Dao Qianzhong retrieved the ancient sabers.

“The fact that the vision of my left eye is hindered and the force from the three awakenings is enough to prove that the mountain is active. If it possesses some kind of intelligence, that means the mountain is watching us throughout the entire process!”

“There are only three ancient sabers remaining. Judging from their reactions before, it would be impossible for me to retrieve them. The only chance now is to target the thing inside the mountain!”

“Since this is the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain, it must be related to sabers…”

Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with a firm determination.

Without hesitation, as the crowd’s attention was attracted, he raised his right hand and inserted a stronger will of the Heaven-Shattering Saber into the mountain.

The will of the Heaven-Shattering Saber was too formidable. If its presence was too powerful, it could easily suppress the ancient sabers, resulting in a negative impact. However, according to Qin Nan’s speculation, the thing inside the mountain was quite mysterious, thus he assumed that it would be able to resist the will.

As he thought!

Buzz!

Without anyone’s knowing, the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain shuddered as it was covered by a gentle glow.

“It’s working!” Qin Nan’s lips curled upward as he immediately controlled his Divine Sense to penetrate the mountain.

The mysterious presence inside the mountain seemed to be aware of the intrusion, which unleashed a force and manipulated the space, encapsulating Qin Nan’s figure. With a pull, he was dragged into the mountain so quickly that none of the cultivators were aware of what had happened.

“This?” Qin Nan was shocked.

He was surrounded with endless flames, as if he had arrived at a furnace, causing his cultivation to become restless.

“Mm?” Qin Nan scanned around and immediately saw a strange boulder at the center of the place. An ancient drawing could be seen on the boulder, which consisted of several figures fighting against each other.

Furthermore, on top of the boulder was a pond, unaffected by the flames surrounding it. Five ancient flowers with the appearance of round stones could be seen at its center.

“Such a terrifying aura, even my left eye is unable to peek through them. The ancient flowers would be extremely useful when used to forge a saber, perfect for senior’s black saber!”

Qin Nan clenched his teeth.

The mysterious boulder was dangerous to touch, but at least he had gotten something out of the trial!

Whoosh!

With a flicker, he reached out his hand toward the flowers.
