Chapter 1409 - The Ancient Dragon Necropolis
"Seven hundred times..."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others fell silent. Their hearts were suddenly a lot heavier.
If Empress Feiyue had said so, the information was most likely reliable. The problem was, how could they possibly increase the power of the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear by seven hundred times?
"Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch, is there any way to increase its power by seven hundred times?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain slightly clenched his fists and said.
Even though he did not have high hopes, he could not help but ask.
"Of course," the two words immediately attracted the attention of the crowd. The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch placed his hands behind his back and said imperiously, "Before you're here, I've already derived all the possibilities at least a hundred times, and I've found the ideal solution."
"What is it?" the breathing of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion intensified.
"First, we'll need five dragon corpses in the Martial God Realm, one hundred and eight Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Corpses in the Martial Monarch Realm, five hundred and thirty-three Ancient Purple-Golden Battle Dragon Corpses in any cultivation level, one thousand and three hundred dragon corpses in the Martial God Realm, and nineteen thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine dragon corpses in any other level."
"Second, you two will come with me to the rift outside of the realm to retrieve the Forbidden Flame of the Rift. You'll then help me to refine it for three hundred and eight days."
"Third, we'll need to acquire the Netherworld Yellow Spring, the Crimson Leaf Golden Armor, the Traceless Wind..."
"Fourth, we'll have to find the Enraged Demon Formation, and..."
"Fifth..."
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said twenty-six requirements in a row. The names that he mentioned in every requirement were utterly familiar to the people of the half-God region. Every single one of them was enough to stir chaos among the cultivators.
Each of the items mentioned was nothing ordinary.
"It's not hard to achieve the other twenty-five requirements," the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain said with a wry smile after some time, "But the first one, it simply sounds impossible."
Even the God Beast Forbidden Ground would not have that many dragon corpses.
"That one is troublesome indeed."
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch was having a headache too.
He had figured out many ways to fulfill the first requirement, yet none of them was viable in the current situation.
"I think, we do have some hope in fulfilling the first requirement," said Little Worm who had been quiet for some time.
"Mm?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others immediately shifted their attention onto him with a hint of surprise.
They did not put too much attention on the little 'snake' on Qin Nan's shoulder.
"Forgot to introduce myself, I'm the Spirit of the Dragon God, Ao Que," Little Worm turned into its original appearance with a flicker.
"You're the spirit of the Dragon God, the master of the God Beast Forbidden Ground eight thousand years ago?"
The eyes of the crowd widened.
Eight thousand years ago, the name Dragon God was the definition of power.
Without exaggerating, if Empress Feiyue did not appear out of nowhere, the Dragon God would surely be the strongest Martial God eight thousand years ago. No one could match his strength.
"It is I," Little Worm fondled his whiskers and said, "I believe you've heard of the place deep inside the God Beast Forbidden Ground where the corpses of the Dragon Tribe are placed after they died?"
"The Dragon Necropolis? That place only has less than five thousand corpses, it's nowhere enough,"
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch shook his head as he spoke. He was already targeting the Dragon Necropolis when he first started to forge the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear.
"You're wrong, there's another place deep inside the Dragon Necropolis. The number dragon corpses in the Martial God Realm alone was already twenty-three, with countless dragon corpses in the Martial Monarch Realm and other levels. It's more than enough."
Little Worm wore a proud look.
Before the Monarch Ranking and God Ranking were born, their tribe had been the strongest faction in Canglan Continent.
During that time, there were countless experts that came from their tribe.
"Twenty-three dragon corpses in the Martial God Realm?"
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch's eyes glittered.
If what Little Worm mentioned was true, it was even possible to increase the power of the spear by eight hundred times!
"But, how are we going to retrieve those dragon corpses considering the situation we are in now?"
The young man of the Martial Serendipity Pavilion calmed his thoughts.
The whole world was now trying to hunt Qin Nan down. As a result, the South-Heaven Gate, Monarch Ranking and God Ranking would also be looking for them.
If they tried to infiltrate the God Beast Forbidden Ground with brute force, they would surely be flanked by the other authorities, leaving them with no chance of winning.
"It's impossible to try and invade with brute force. Even the South-Heaven Gate would not dare to break into the Dragon Necropolis considering how long it had existed, let alone any other expert from Canglan Continent. With your cultivation, you're lucky to be alive trying to invade the place."
"Around seven years from now, the Dragon Necropolis will be accessible, to choose a successor among the disciples of the God Beast Forbidden Ground. That's our only chance. Qin Nan is going to sneak inside with me, and we'll open the Gate of the Dragons by combining his primary monarch force and my Dragon God's force, allowing us to enter its deepest part and retrieve the dragon corpses."
Little Worm calmly said after a slight ponder.
"Going into the Dragon Necropolis huh..."
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others immediately had countless thoughts in their minds, as they were deducing the viability of the plan over a few thousand times.
"It might be extremely dangerous, but I guess it's the only way now!"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain wore a determined look after a while, "Cultivator Heaven-Shattering, we'll worry about the Forbidden Flame of the Rift later. Martial Serendipity and I will collect the rest of the items first!"
They once had no hope, but now, with the glimpse of hope in front of them, how could they give up now?
"Hang on, even if we found everything we need and successfully refine the Dragon-killing Dao-destructing Deity-eliminating Spear, we still can't shatter the South-Heaven Gate."
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch suddenly said.
"Why not?"
The master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain and the others were startled. If they still could not achieve their goal, was he simply wasting their time explaining it all to them?
"Once the artifact is fully refined, its strength would simply surpass the rules of cultivation of the entire Canglan Continent. I'm afraid even if Qin Nan managed to become the strongest Martial God of all times, he still would not be able to lift the spear.
The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch said bluntly.
"He won't be able to lift it?"
Everyone glanced at Qin Nan with a stunned face.
They completely forgot about that.
If even the strongest Martial God of all times could not lift it, who else would be able to use it?
Even Empress Feiyue would not be able to do so!
"Senior Heaven-Shattering, how are we going to lift it then?"
Qin Nan slightly shook his head and said sternly.
Although the shock he experienced from learning all the secrets was too much to bear for him, they were still the reality for him. If he could not change them he had no choice but to accept them.
His priority now was to shatter the South-Heaven Gate.
He believed that the Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch had already found the solution if he already told them the plan.
"Based on my deduction, the strength when you become the top one Martial God of all times will be strong enough to lift it, but your primary god force and your cultivation won't be able to endure its overwhelming will!" The Heaven-Shattering Martial Monarch's expression became stern as he spoke, "In other words, the only way you can succeed is by achieving a cultivation level greater than the limit of this world!"
"Greater than the limit of this world? That's impossible!"
Everyone shook their heads as soon as they heard the suggestion, including the master of the Dao Origin Heavenly Mountain who had mastered a slight hint of the Ultimate of Cultivation.
It was already impossible to achieve Qin Nan's current cultivation, let alone surpassing it!
Besides, is there really a higher level than Qin Nan's current level?
"No, it is possible."
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries' eyes flickered as it spoke.
"It's...possible?"
The crowd was stunned.
"Of course it's possible, just like how we once thought Qin Nan's current achievement of becoming the top one Martial Monarch of all times is impossible, yet didn't he still manage to achieve it? That being said, there's no way he can go any higher in Canglan Continent, the only hope is..."
The Sword Spirit Seven Luminaries paused for a brief moment before continuing, "He'll need to break free from the restrictions of life and death, reverse the Yin and Yang, overcome the Ancient Demonic Path so his soul can ascend to the Nine Heavens!"
The words served as a shocking thunder.
