Chapter 1193 - The Qilin Blood Dojo
On the other side of the Qilin Mountain Range...
Qin Nan and Yi Feng quickly left Chi Yuehong and his crew a great distance behind with their outstanding speed.
After the period it took an incense to burn, the two slowed down their pace.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan raised his brows.
Not far ahead was a huge valley and at the path leading into it were three peak Martial Progenitors, two eighth-layer Martial Progenitors, and one seventh-layer Martial Progenitor executing their Monarch Arts.
The valley itself was covered in a dark bloody barrier. Its entrance even had giant formations formed with runes that were the color of blood, causing it to feel extremely dangerous. Even peak Martial Progenitors would not dare to infiltrate the place carelessly.
The six cultivators appeared to be attacking the formations.
"Qin Nan, at least thirty powerful auras are heading here from all directions." Yi Feng said after using his Icy Kingdom Eyes to scan the surroundings.
Although his eye-technique was not as powerful as Qin Nan's, its range of effect was quite remarkable.
"Two cultivators, the barrier here is able to repel any attack, thus preventing us from breaking through with brute force. The only way is to destroy the runes and the formations, why don't you join us..."
The six cultivators immediately shouted after being aware of their presence.
Before they could finish, Qin Nan nodded at Yi Feng and charged straight toward the entrance of the valley with a kick.
Yi Feng followed tightly behind him.
The six cultivators were stunned seeing this.
The runes and formations could easily kill a peak Martial Monarch Realm expert. Were they trying to kill themselves by trying to break through with brute force?
However, they saw Qin Nan's figure landing his foot on a certain spot on the barrier. Surprisingly, the runes and formations did not attack them.
A while later, Qin Nan and Yi Feng completely disappeared from their vision.
"This..."
The six cultivators were utterly dumbfounded.
Could it be that they were able to see through the runes and formations?
"Quick, attack the formations!"
One of the cultivators roared upon collecting his thoughts.
They would lose the chance if the two cultivators were to get their hands on the treasure first.
A while later, more cultivators began to arrive at the valley, summing up to seventeen.
Chi Yuehong also arrived with more than twenty of his people.
"Where are they?" Chi Yuehong pated heavily. He scanned the place and snapped at someone nearby, "Have you seen a white-robed young man and an old man?"
"They have already entered the valley. If you're looking for them, then hurry up and destroy these formations and runes with us." The eyes of someone among the initial six cultivators flickered as he responded.
"What? Inside there?"
Chi Yuehong was startled, who waved his hand commanding his subordinates to launch their attacks.
As for Qin Nan and Yi Feng, they had arrived at a cave after passing the formations and runes protecting it.
The cave was seven zhang tall and four zhang wide. It was in complete darkness. It was impossible to tell how deep it went, and the scent of blood lingered in the air, resulting in a terrifying atmosphere.
Furthermore, as Qin Nan and Yi Feng ventured deeper into the cave, several eighth-layer Martial Progenitor Realm Qilins that were formed from blood-colored water would occasionally rush out from the cave.
"There's something strange about this place. The bloody barrier, the runes, and formations at the entrance, and these Qilins formed by blood-colored water. It seems like the power that controls it all is extremely powerful. However, the execution of the methods seems clumsy. It didn't really fully utilize the full potential of the power."
Yi Feng said with a frown.
If he were given such formidable power, the traps he could set up would be extremely dangerous. Even a genius who had surpassed the rules of cultivation like Qin Nan would have a hard time making his way deep into the place.
Qin Nan nodded. It did seem strange when he thought about it.
The duo continued to move forward. After killing quite a number of Blood-Water Qilin, they finally arrived at the end.
In front of them stood a blood-colored bronze door that was engraved with patterns resembling a Qilin. They could sense a strong beastly aura from it.
Qin Nan inspected the door before throwing a punch forward with force.
BANG.
The bronze door began to shatter due to the will of destruction from the punch.
"Is that..."
Qin Nan and Yi Feng raised their heads simultaneously. Their eyes flickered with astonishment following a glimpse.
Behind the door was a spacious area, where a three thousand eight hundred zhang long and two thousand three hundred zhang wide dojo was floating above.
The dojo was slightly different than the ones they had seen before. It was completely the color of blood, with an overwhelming aura and Qi emanating from it. Furthermore, there was a lake on the dojo, with strange-looking plants around its vicinity.
Three ancient trees in particular that were ten zhang tall were quite similar to the dojo. They were entirely the color of blood, with densely-packed leaves. Their trunks were also carved with the same Qilin pattern. Their auras did not resemble a tree, but an ancient Qilin instead.
"These are three Qilin Trees, the Four-Sided Ancient Tree, the Leafless Ancient Tree, the Icy Fiend Ancient Tree, the Void Willow, the Hundred Mystic Herb, the Qilin Bloodborne Flower... These are all rare herbs that would only grow after being incubated by the Qilin's blood. Could this dojo be..." Yi Feng gulped down a mouthful of saliva before speaking in a slightly trembling voice, "Was this dojo made with the Prime Qilin's Blood?"
...Meanwhile, outside the valley...
The runes and formations began to crumble due to the attacks from the crowd.
Suddenly, thirteen powerful auras swept across the sky like rainbows and landed on the ground.
Chi Yuehong and the others were astounded when they turned around.
What was going on?
Thirteen people from the South-Heaven Sacred Ground?
On top of that, five of them were inner disciples who were ranked on the God Ranking, while eight of them were elders?
"Humph, isn't this a bit overkill to hunt down a mere ant?"
One of the elders wore an unpleasant look.
"Elder, our target is quite strong, thus it's better to have more people. Besides, it also seems like there's some valuable treasure here."
An inner disciple burst out laughing and said.
"That's enough, he must be inside the mountain. Let's head inside."
A rather imperious elder waved his hand as a signal. Following this, the thirteen figures entered the valley and proceeded to pass the runes and formations with ease.
