Chapter 1230 - Gathering of the Authorities
As everyone knew, the word 'immortal' in the name of any herb would make it extremely valuable.
Usually, this Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruit was three times more expensive than a Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruit. It was usually unavailable on the market due to its rarity.
"Where is this Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain?" Qin Nan asked.
"Follow me." Wang Zhao flew out of the crystal palace.
As Qin Nan and Princess Miao Miao made their way outside, they raised their heads staring into the sky after instantly becoming aware of something.
Despite the far distance, they could still see twelve other beams of light firing into the sky from all directions, which combined and formed an ancient mountain high up in the sky which felt like it had existed since primordial times.
The mountain was none other than the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain.
"Hehe, we're very lucky this time. After all, there are only a few people of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe left in the Canglan Continent."
Wang Zhao said smilingly while rubbing his hands together.
"Heavenly Fortune Tribe? How is this related to the Heavenly Fortune Tribe?"
Qin Nan frowned.
"You might not know, but the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain will only be activated when someone from the Heavenly Fortune Tribe has entered the Upper Arcana, as they are the only ones that can trigger the thirteen Heavenly Fortune Rocks."
Qin Nan's heart shuddered upon hearing this.
He immediately recalled the strange sensation he had felt previously.
Did this mean that the Heavenly Fortune Mouse and the others were here at the Upper Arcana too?
"Screw it, everything will be made clear at the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain."
Qin Nan shook his head. Without further ado, the trio flew into the sky like a beam of light.
...Meanwhile, across the vast Upper Arcana...
When the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain appeared, both the Martial Monarchs and the disciples of various factions were astounded.
"What's that?"
"Why would there be a rare phenomenon here in the Upper Arcana?"
"The elder has just sent us a message. It's the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain. We're told to head there at once!"
"Who would have thought that the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain would appear this time! It's a great opportunity!"
"HAHAHA, the Heavens have shown mercy on me. If I can acquire five Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits, I will surely be able to rank up to the third-layer Martial Monarch Realm!"
At that instant, the Martial Monarchs and the disciples were extremely excited. They began to make their way to the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain.
On a side note, Skeleton Xiao Hong and her crew who had triggered the entire thing were making their way there too.
Time gradually passed. Within the period it took an incense stick to burn, the Martial Monarchs of various factions were the first to arrive and searched the place.
After another period it took an incense stick to burn, the disciples of various factions landed on the mountain.
As for Qin Nan and his crew, since they were quite far away from their destination, they had only arrived after the crowd.
"This Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain is far bigger than I'd imagined."
Qin Nan stood in the air and mumbled to himself.
The entire mountain was at least fifty thousand zhang tall and a few hundred thousand zhang wide. Its scale was outstanding enough to be considered a mountain range, or an enormous beast from the primal chaos. Everything was as tiny as dust particles standing before it.
In addition to that, the bottom of the mountain was planted with white trees and flowers, while the waist of the mountain was planted with purple plants. The flora at the mountain peak was red instead.
From afar, it looked like the mountain was made up of three different parts.
"Is that..."
Princess Miao Miao and Wang Zhao were shocked. The former's breathing intensified slightly.
Qin Nan quickly collected his thoughts and activated his left eye of the Divine God of Battle.
Currently, the white region and the purple region of the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain was crowded with geniuses from various factions. They were executing powerful monarch arts as they fought against the wild beasts and one another to claim the available treasure.
Meanwhile, at the red peak of the mountain, the Illusionist Martial Monarch, Martial Monarch Rongtian, Martial Monarch Mingkong, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, Elder Sun Yang, and around ten other Martial Monarchs were battling against each other while attacking the mountain with outstanding moves. A series of monarch glows were flickering continuously on the peak of the mountain like the sun with auras like a massive tsunami.
Despite standing far away, the cultivators felt extremely tiny witnessing the battle taking place, like ants watching the battle between titans. No one dared to get closer to the peak.
"Mm?"
Qin Nan was startled.
He had discovered four ancient trees with dense leaves standing firmly at the peak of the mountain like ancient titans. They were emitting golden glows and immeasurable, magical auras. Each of the ancient trees had borne sparkling and translucent fruits with immortal auras.
The four ancient trees were known as the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees and the fruits on them were none other than the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.
No wonder the Martial Monarchs had started fighting against one another.
"Come, let's land on the mountain."
Qin Nan said after calming his thoughts.
The four Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees were encapsulated within a mysterious, giant crystal, with layers of dangerous formations and powerful beasts protecting it on the outside. Even with the Martial Monarchs cooperating together, it would take some time before they could break through the defense.
Although Qin Nan's Treasure-Fishing Rod could ignore the formations and the mysterious crystal and hook the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits easily from the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees, he would find himself being flanked by the Martial Monarchs fairly quickly.
Besides, now was definitely the worst time to secure the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits. He should make his way up the mountain and react according to the circumstances.
Princess Miao Miao and Wang Zhao were calm and collected too. They nodded their heads and flew up the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain with Qin Nan.
Along the way, Princess Miao Miao worked together with Wang Zhao. They were like the rulers of the forest, having total control over the plants on the mountain. They were able to locate the treasure with ease, while Qin Nan's left eye helped them to secure the treasure.
It was as if the trio had turned into a taotie. Not a single piece of treasure was left along the way.
Time gradually passed. The trio began to make their way from the white region to the purple region.
The treasure at the purple region was more valuable than those at the foot of the mountain. They managed to find some Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits too.
"Found it!"
Princess Miao Miao and Wang Zhao halted in their tracks. The former's face was filled with joy from the surprise.
Qin Nan quickly scanned with his left eye and discovered an ancient tree growing deep inside a nearby ravine. It had six Heavenly Arcana Sacred Fruits on its branches.
"Mm?"
Before the trio could make their move, they turned around after becoming aware of something.
Whoosh whoosh.
Two figures swiftly appeared in front of them.
Qin Nan was slightly surprised when he took a closer look at them.
They turned out to be Liu Xue and Cen Wu.
"Qin Nan, how are you not dead?"
Liu Xue and Cen Wu were astounded.
After all, they had witnessed the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch chasing after him with their own eyes. How was it possible for Qin Nan to escape from the hunt of a Martial Monarch?
