Chapter 1239 - A Destined Good Fortune
"The path actually leads to the peak of the mountain?"
Qin Nan took a deep breath as he gathered his thoughts. His heart beat rapidly as he stared at the three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees.
There was this saying, "One who survives a great disaster is destined to meet good fortune after."
Qin Nan had never believed it to be the case, but he was inclined to have a different opinion on it now.
The Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain was split into three parts: the white foothills, the purple sides, and the red peak.
The foothills had the least number of treasure, the side was slightly better, while the legendary Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits could only be found at the peak.
However, normal cultivators would have a hard time making their way to the top.
The reason for this being that these Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits were being targeted by the Martial Monarchs. They would be trying to get themselves killed if they were planning to compete with them.
Similarly, even with Qin Nan's outstanding strength that gave him the ability to fight against a Martial Monarch, he had no chance of securing the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits either. That being said, the risk and danger were no longer a problem, as he could easily claim them now.
"I was only able to come here with the help of someone from the Heavenly Fortune Tribe. Therefore, if I were to use the Treasure-Fishing Rod and hook all the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits in the crystal toward me, the Martial Monarchs wouldn't even notice it..."
Qin Nan's eyes burned passionately.
How many contribution points would he be able to exchange the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits for?
"Gasp, is this the legendary Heavenly Fortune Qi Pond?"
"Damn, the Heavenly Fortune Qi Pond is incredibly useful for the people of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe!"
"Squeak, squeak!"
The two hounds and one mouse did not even cast a single glance at the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees. Their eyes were fixated on the golden pond as they exclaimed their thoughts. They immediately sprinted toward the pond as they gathered their thoughts.
"The Heavenly Fortune Qi Pond?"
Qin Nan turned around after hearing their remarks.
The two hounds and one mouse jumped into the golden pond. Several formidable auras burst out from their bodies as if they were being nurtured by an invisible presence.
"AHHHHH, this feels soooooooo good..."
The two hounds cried out as they were overwhelmed by the pleasant feeling.
However, an unexpected change took place.
The eighteen ancient drawings on the walls suddenly awakened. They each fired a white ray into the golden pond, causing terrifying auras to rise within it.
"Damn! What is happening?"
The two hounds felt a great chill down their spines.
"Master, please help them to suppress the pond, so they can absorb its energy. It's crucial to summon the path to the Heavenly Arcana."
Skeleton Xiao Hong who had been silent blurted out.
"Got it."
Qin Nan did not hesitate. With a wave, six Martial Trees sprang into the air and surrounded the pond, suppressing the terrifying aura that was rising in the pond.
He had plenty of time to claim the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.
Right now, it was more important to lend his comrades a hand.
...Meanwhile, above the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain...
"Damn it, run!"
"Have these people of the Lost Herb Garden lost their minds?"
A few curses were blurted out on the foothills and side of the mountain.
They were from disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.
They were feeling incredibly down, as for some reason, since Qin Nan had fought with the two Martial Monarchs, the people of the Lost Herb Garden had been targeting them specifically.
Most importantly, they were just doing hit-and-runs. They would appear and disrupt their plans when they were trying to secure the treasure, and then flee away without hesitation.
"Mm, well done, you will be rewarded.
"Hey hey hey, what are you three waiting for, some guys in that corner have found some treasure. Ambush him, quick.
"And you..."
Little did the disciples of the South-Heaven Sacred Ground know, but a glamorous woman at the side of the mountain was giving orders through a glowing badge on her hand.
The woman was none other than Princess Miao Miao.
"The show has just begun. Watch and learn how I'll teach this bunch of assholes a lesson."
Princess Miao Miao's lips curled upward into an attractive grin.
"Mm?"
Suddenly, Princess Miao Miao frowned slightly as her eyes stared at the mountain's peak.
In addition to her, the disciples on the foothills and the side of the mountain raised their heads gazing at the peak as if they had become aware of something.
BANG BANG BANG.
The explosions at the peak of the mountain were as intense and deafening as usual.
The only difference was, the monarch glows were more brilliant than before, as more Monarch Arts were executed to attack the barrier.
"HAHAHA, the barrier is close to being destroyed. Everyone, let's do our best!"
The Martial Monarch of the Dead Spirit Tribe burst into great laughter.
"Mm, sure!"
The Thunder Roc Monarch Beast, the Xuan-Wind Martial Monarch, the Illusionist Martial Monarch, and the rest of the Martial Monarchs responded with joy flashing across their faces.
Before breaking through the defense, the Martial Monarchs were temporarily cooperating.
"Gasp, the forbidding aura and the crystal are going to break!"
"What? It's breaking? That quick?"
"Damn it! I did take a look before. There were at least ninety Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits on the three Heavenly Arcana Immortal Trees!"
"Tsk tsk, ninety Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits, how much of a fortune would that be?"
"Don't you even think about it. We're all Martial Progenitors, there's no way we would have a chance at getting them. If you go up there, the Martial Monarchs won't show you any mercy!"
"Sigh, you're right, the Martial Progenitor Realm will still be Martial Progenitor Realm, there's no way we could stand against the Martial Monarchs!"
The astonished cries on the side and foothills of the mountain eventually turned into sighs!
The disciples of the Battle Tribe, the Dead Spirit Tribe, the Flame Tribe, and the rest shook their heads and gave up on the thought!
...Meanwhile, inside the mysterious cave in the Upper Arcana Sacred Mountain...
BANG BANG BANG.
A rapid succession of explosions took place.
Qin Nan floated above the golden pond with an overwhelming battle intent. The six Martial Trees were like six giant mountains. No matter how strong the auras in the pond were, they could not even make the Martial Trees budge.
The two hounds and one mouse were covered in golden glows inside the pond.
They were relieved when they saw Qin Nan assisting them, thus they immediately focused on absorbing the energy.
Finally, the auras inside the golden pond regained its calm.
The two hounds and one mouse were covered in several golden runes. Each of the runes had the same pattern as one of the ancient drawings on the walls.
"Master, that's enough. The path to the Heavenly Arcana will be activated in half the period it takes an incense to burn."
Skeleton Xiao Hong blurted out.
"Only half the period it takes an incense stick to burn?"
Qin Nan's heart shuddered upon hearing this. He quickly withdrew the six Martial Trees and took out the Treasure-Fishing Rod. He inserted progenitor force into it and swung it toward the crystal above the hall.
Time was running out. He had to move quickly in order to retrieve all the Heavenly Arcana Immortal Fruits.
