“The Canglan Tree? What’s that?”

Qin Nan wore a confused look.

“Have you heard of the South-Heaven Gate?”

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch asked in return instead of answering his question.

“Of course.” Qin Nan’s eyes flickered with murderous intent as he spoke, “Is this Canglan Tree related to the South-Heaven Gate?”

“That’s right! The South-Heaven Gate, South-Heaven Sacred Ground, the Monarch Ranking, God Ranking, etc. are all related to an incredible secret. I can’t tell you yet as you still haven’t achieved the Martial Monarch Realm!” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch seemed to be recalling the past as he spoke, “As for the Canglan Tree, I only learned of its existence through some coincidence. In the ancient era, you wouldn’t find the South-Heaven Gate in the most southern part of the Canglan Continent. It used to be a tree...

“The tree stood firmly between this world and the Nine Heavens, and its power was immeasurable. According to the legends, the cultivators in the past would have to climb the Canglan Tree until its end to reach the Nine Heavens.”

The few sentences were enough to stir great chaos in Qin Nan’s heart.

An ancient tree that extended to the Nine Heavens?

One could reach the Nine Heavens by climbing it?

How imperious was that Canglan Tree?

“However.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch switched his tone to an icy one as he continued, “The Canglan Tree was destroyed. According to an expert from the ancient era, an incredible battle took place here in the Canglan Continent. In the end, the South-Heaven Gate destroyed the Canglan Tree and replaced it, occupying its position.”

“What?”

Qin Nan was astounded.

He never thought that was the secret behind the South-Heaven Gate’s existence.

He always assumed that the South-Heaven Gate had been constructed by the authorities as the boundary protecting the half-God region.

“I’m not too sure about the real secret behind the South-Heaven Gate, but it’s definitely more complicated than I’ve imagined.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch shook his head and said, “Anyway, now is not the time to explain this to you. Your nine Martial Trees have surpassed the rules of cultivation, and they consist of two different kinds. If you want to merge them, you will have to find the Canglan Tree.”

Qin Nan collected his thoughts after hearing this, causing him to frown, “Find the Canglan Tree? Didn’t the South-Heaven Gate destroy it?”

“Tsk tsk, the Canglan Tree is the creation of the Canglan Continent. Do you really think it would be destroyed that easily? Even after countless years, there are still fragments of the Canglan Tree yet to be discovered in the half-God region.”

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch smacked his lips and said, “Four thousand years ago, an ordinary cultivator managed to find a fragment of the Canglan Tree by accident, who ended up altering his destiny and becoming a Martial Monarch. However, he was killed by the South-Heaven Sacred Ground in the end. That being said, it still proved the existence of the fragments of the Canglan Tree.”

“I see...that means I would have to look for them in the half-God region.”

Qin Nan’s eyes glistened slightly.

“That’s right, but it’s not a guarantee that you’ll find any of them there. Besides, you must keep in mind that, once you found a fragment of the Canglan Tree, you have to watch out for the people of the South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground. They will kill you without hesitation if they find out.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch warned. He added as he remembered something, “The Canglan Tree is nothing ordinary. If you were to merge it with the nine Martial Trees, it might bring some unexpected change to the Martial Trees.”

Saying this, the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch became excited.

What kind of Martial Tree would it be when nine Martial Trees that had surpassed the rules of cultivation were to merge with the Canglan Tree?

The thought alone was enough to cause his blood to boil.

“An unexpected change?”

Qin Nan was startled before his face was filled with a determined look.

It seemed like the fragment of the Canglan Tree was just what he needed. He had to find it.

As for the threat from the South-Heaven Gate and the South-Heaven Sacred Ground?

Qin Nan didn’t even mind it, as he already considered them to be his greatest enemies.

“Give me a second, I’ll prepare something for you. After all, you have no idea what the Canglan Tree looks like. It will remind you, so you won’t miss it...” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said while pinching his jaw.

“Thanks, senior!”

Qin Nan brought his fists together as he sensed warmth in his heart.

Not only did the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch clear his doubts, he even provided further assistance which would be helpful to him.

“Feeling grateful? Why don’t you call me your master?” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said with a smirk.

Qin Nan was instantly left speechless. Although the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had helped him a great deal, he did not have the urge to treat him as his master.

In Qin Nan’s opinion, he would only have one master in his life, who was none other than Sacred Leader Qinglong.

“Forget it, how boring. These beasts are more endearing than you.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch twisted his lips and walked toward the residence. He needed some time to prepare the artifact for Qin Nan.

“Wait, senior, I suddenly remembered something.” Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with curiosity as he spoke, “Didn’t you mention that the treasure you’d left is the way to shatter the South-Heaven Gate? Can you show it to me?”

Everyone was aware of the South-Heaven Gate’s power.

It was harder to shatter it than to ascend to the Heavens.

Therefore, Qin Nan was quite curious to know what plan the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had in mind.

“Interested? In your dreams. I’ll only show you when you’ve achieved the Martial Monarch Realm.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch glimpsed at Qin Nan and said, “Don’t blame me for that, I once promised myself that I would only show it to you once you achieved the Martial God Realm.”

“Martial God Realm?” Qin Nan was intrigued upon hearing this. A thought crossed his mind, prompting him to say, “Senior, could it be that you were boasting? I think you were lying to me. It was a bluff.”

“Hehe, that won’t work to me. Do you really think I’ll show it to you after being provoked?” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch let out a hollow laugh. However, within three breaths’ time, he clenched his teeth and blurted out, “Fine, you’re smart, I hate being provoked the most. I’ll make sure you drop your jaws today. Follow me!”

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch rushed toward the residence.

Qin Nan immediately followed behind with joy.

“Kid, watch carefully!”

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch braced himself and flicked his sleeves, causing the tightly shut doors of the residence to open slowly.

ROAR!

A terrifying roar echoed!

The entire space began to tremble vigorously due to the roar!

Qin Nan could only see a huge wall made of rocks at the end of the residence, with giant objects being chained together hanging on it, which combined into a sharp tip!

BANG!

Before Qin Nan could take a closer look, he felt himself sink into boundless darkness in which a sharp glow was approaching his figure!

Under the glow, he felt like a dust particle, like a mere ant.

PA!

The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch flicked his sleeve again, causing the door of the residence to shut instantly. The shocking rare phenomenon disappeared as a result.

He turned toward Qin Nan who had a blank pale face and said with a hint of pride, “How was it? Impressive? It’s a weapon that I’ve spent five hundred years on!”

“A...a weapon? What...what kind of weapon?”

Qin Nan recovered slightly, but the feeling still lingered in his heart.

Terrifying!

Its aura was utterly terrifying!

Qin Nan had never seen anything like it before!

Even the Dragon Emperor’s aura in his true form was only a ten-thousandth of its aura!

“No no no, what you saw just then was not a weapon.” The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch placed his hands behind him as he said with a proud grin, “What you saw was only a blueprint—a blueprint of the weapon!”

The words served as shocking thunder!
