Chapter 971 – The Sect-Protecting Godly Saber
Qin Nan replied to the message from the Shadow Pagoda, learned the latest information about the Heaven-Saber Sect through the All-Knowing Scroll, before setting out for the Middle Sector City to take the portal to the Heaven-Saber Sect.
The Heaven-Saber Sect was located in the north of the Middle Continent. It was constructed on the Starry Valley.
“So this is the Starry Valley? A spectacular sight indeed.”
Qin Nan could not help but exclaim.
The valley was filled with beds of colorful flowers, with strange pearls in the soil shining brightly under the sunlight, like stars in the sky.
At the end of the valley stood a magnificent palace, surrounded by powerful invisible formations.
“That must be the Heaven-Saber Sect, and I assume the Sect-Protecting Godly Saber is floating in the sky above it?”
Qin Nan raised his head and his left eye emitted a blinding purple glow.
The Sect-Protecting Godly Saber was the heirloom treasure of the Heaven-Saber Sect. It was said that three thousand years ago, when a Martial God Realm expert who was also a saber artist died, a Tribulation consisting of wind and fire occurred, using the wind as the hammer and the fire as the forge to refine his flesh into a godly saber.
Even though no one had ever witnessed the true strength of the Sect-Protecting Godly Saber, its existence alone was enough to prevent anyone from daring to attack the Heaven-Saber Sect, allowing it to develop peacefully.
“Is that——”
Qin Nan’s figure shuddered.
Among the clouds, a giant ninety-nine zhang long saber floated in the air. Its body was carved with mysterious ruins, which resembled a Tribulation consisting of wind and fire.
Although the saber had concealed its aura, Qin Nan could clearly sense a terrifying saber intent inside the saber, which could surely destroy the Heavens and Earth once it was unleashed.
Buzz.
Qin Nan’s right arm began to buzz slightly.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber became restless, as if a peerless emperor had discovered a worthy opponent, causing it to feel excited!
“I’ll let you have a showdown with it in the future.” Qin Nan tapped on his right arm.
Now was not the time to reveal his Heaven-Shattering Saber.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber was refined using the right arm of the Divine God of Battle, at the price of the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch’s life. The power it possessed was unimaginable. Until now, Qin Nan could still not unleash its full strength.
It would be disastrous if the Heaven-Shattering Saber simply rushed forward and destroyed the Sect-Protecting Godly Saber.
The Heaven-Shattering Saber uttered another soft buzz, as if it was trying to convince Qin Nan that it was only trying to tease the godly saber instead of destroying it.
Qin Nan uttered a cough and ignored its clarification, before he increased his pace as he made his way toward the Heaven-Saber Sect.
The palaces of the Heaven-Saber Sect were stacked in layers like a stairwell, starting from the palaces of the lowest-grade disciples to the magnificent-looking Sect Leader Hall at the top.
A one thousand zhang long dojo made of some ancient material could be seen surrounded by the disciple palaces, and at its end stood a firm copper arch door with the giant words “Heaven-Saber Sect” constructed with seven hundred and seventy-seven broken sabers stained with blood.
Currently, the dojo was crowded with people.
A giant black boulder could be seen on the dojo, with cultivators lining up in front of it, as if they were taking a test.
“Disciples from the Immortal Mist Sect? And the Bodhi Temple, Heartless Sect, Fallen Devil Sect, Chaos Sect, Sword Sect…”
Qin Nan quickly scanned the crowd. The cultivators were saber artists from different factions, each with an outstanding cultivation.
As soon as Qin Nan landed on the dojo, a gentle voice could be heard, “Senior Brother, are you here for the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain? If so, please register yourself and test your saber intent through the Saber King's Boulder.”
It was a female disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect with a cute appearance.
Qin Nan looked at the Saber King's Boulder where the cultivators were gathering at and nodded, “Sure.”
It appeared that everyone would have to test their saber intent before entering the Heaven-Saber Sect.
Qin Nan followed the female disciple to a table, who was attended to by a plump disciple wearing the inner disciple robe. His cultivation of the eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm was fully exposed intentionally.
As Qin Nan arrived, he continued to tease the female disciples around him, before he finally waved his hand impatiently, “Show me your badge.”
His name was Ma Zhen, who was ranked highly among the inner disciples. However, he had recently offended the second-ranked inner disciple, Cui Lixu, hence why he had been given the task to welcome the inner disciples from the other factions, causing him to feel extremely unpleasant, resulting in his attitude.
Qin Nan calmly handed him his identity badge.
“Mm? Qin Nan, right? The name sounds familiar.” Ma Zhen simply took a glimpse at the badge, before he suddenly noticed something, causing him to straighten his figure, “You’re from the Dragon Emperor Clan?”
The words immediately grabbed the crowd’s attention.
Everyone knew that the Dragon Emperor Clan and the Heaven-Saber Sect were each other’s enemy for a long time. Why would a disciple of the Dragon Emperor Clan be here?
“Mm? You’re the Peak Leader of the Dragon Emperor Clan’s Human Peak? No! I remember now, you’re Qin Nan, the one whose ranking increased by over seven hundred recently, and is now listed in the top three of our silver-grade enemies!” Ma Zhen suddenly raised his tone with a trembling voice.
The surrounding outer disciples were startled, while the geniuses from the other factions were surprised. Even those who were testing their saber intent in front of the Saber King's Boulder halted their actions.
“Qin Nan? He’s Qin Nan?”
“Holy crap, why is he here?”
“Gasp, didn’t he just mention that he was ranked in the top three among the silver-grade enemies of the Heaven-Saber Sect? Did he really come here alone?”
Under the crowd’s gaze, Qin Nan remained calm and asked, “So? Does it stop me from taking part in the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain?”
“This…”
Ma Zhen opened his mouth but could not find any words.
As he collected his thoughts, he immediately took out a badge and transmitted his voice.
It was entirely out of his control!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
In less than two breaths’ time, rapid piercing sounds could be heard as elders with powerful auras arrived on flying swords, causing the dojo to be swept with a powerful gust.
A total of ten elders!
The ten elders’ faces were filled with complete disbelief.
They had never expected Qin Nan to dare to show himself at the Heaven-Saber Sect!
“HAHA, Qin Nan, you’re pretty ballsy to come alone!” A great laugh could be heard as Cui Lixu and more than ten inner disciples arrived on feet.
