"Did it evolve too with the level up?"
The thought crossed Qin Nan's mind as he fixed his gaze on the blue-golden rune.
The rune was capable of influencing the God Horoscopes and the primordial rules of cultivation. Any change to it was nothing ordinary.
Soon, the strange aura emitting from deep inside the rune grew stronger, which quickly flowed to Qin Nan's limbs and bones through his meridians and merged with his body.
Buzz!
Qin Nan felt his body shuddering, before an indescribable feeling arose in his heart.
It was like a fish being thrown back into a pond, like there were no longer restrictions or binds restraining him. On top of that, he had also received an obscure buff.
Whoosh!
Without any sign, a gray-white flame with the size of a thumb erupted from deep inside the blue-golden rune.
The flame did not unleash any aura. It was extremely weak, as if the slightest breeze would be able to put it out.
"What's this?"
Qin Nan wore a curious look.
An unexpected change took place all of a sudden.
A mysterious energy exploded inside his mind, which forcibly dragged his consciousness into a pitch-black space.
Inside the space, an ancient drawing made of a beast hide was floating in the air with a mystical glow.
"It's you? Who exactly are you?"
Qin Nan quickly asked with a startled look as he collected his thoughts.
Until now, he was still totally clueless about the pitch-black ancient drawing.
"It...it's a rare...rare opportunity...treat it preciously...comprehend it...don't miss your chance..."
A voice appeared from the ancient drawing.
Whoosh!
Before Qin Nan could react, the pitch-black space collapsed immediately as his consciousness returned to his body.
In addition to that, there was no aura or energy ripple in the surroundings, as if it was only an illusionary dream.
"A rare opportunity, comprehend it, was the ancient drawing referring to the flame?"
Qin Nan immediately shivered upon having this thought.
If the ancient drawing was aware of everything happening inside his body, doesn't that also mean it's familiar with all his secrets?
"I guess I'll have to ask the copper mirror its identity just to be sure."
Qin Nan took a deep breath.
He would not want an ancient drawing with an unknown background to know everything about him.
"That being said, I should make use of the chance to comprehend the flame."
Qin Nan calmed his thoughts and murmured.
The flame was a part of him. No matter what happened, it would still be under his control, thus there was no harm in comprehending it.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
A series of deafening explosions took place.
Qin Nan glanced around and discovered the God Horoscopes inside the bodies of Princess Miao Miao, Tang Qingshan, and the others had fully merged with them.
Princess Miao Miao and the others were not targeted by the rules of the Heavens and Earth. If they achieved the Martial God Realm, they would have no problem in becoming Martial Gods.
"Princess, don't achieve the Martial God Realm for now, it's better to come up with a way to separate the origin force."
Qin Nan quickly transmitted his thoughts to Princess Miao Miao and the others.
Princess Miao Miao and Gong Yang were both Martial Progenitors who had yet to refine the Monarch Horoscopes. However, with the help of the primary god force, they would be able to achieve the Martial God Realm by themselves.
Once they found a suitable method, they would be able to achieve the Martial God Realm on their own.
That being said, even after achieving the Martial God Realm on their own, it would still be difficult for them to master the Four Extremities.
After all, Qin Nan was only able to master the Four Extremities as he had been making preparations since he achieved the Martial Emperor Realm.
Besides, he was the first cultivator to ever achieve the Martial Monarch Realm by himself. He was on a completely different level.
"Alright."
Princess Miao Miao and the others immediately responded and performed ancient forbidden arts to suppress the power of the God Horoscopes.
"They didn't level up to the Martial God Realm? Could it be..."
Martial God Zhanyuan, Madam Heavenly Fortune, and the ancient existences inhaled deeply as a thought crossed their mind.
Qin Nan was not terrifying because of his talents, but the changes he brought to the world.
If more cultivators were able to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and the Martial God Realm on their own, it would simply topple the rules of cultivation, let alone the South-Heaven Gate.
"Use the Heavenly Fortune Dayan Art and announce to the world everything that happened, and the return of Empress Feiyue."
The eyes of Madam Heavenly Fortune emitted a gray-white flicker as she gave the order.
The Martial Monarchs of the Heavenly Fortune Tribe immediately performed a series of hand seals.
In the years that the Heavenly Fortune Tribe had disappeared, they had been preparing for this very moment.
And now, the time had arrived.
Time gradually passed. In a few thousand breaths' time, the news was spread among the cultivators like a terrifying surging current.
The whole continent was startled.
"Qin Nan has successfully achieved the Martial God Realm!"
"He managed to refine six God Horoscopes!"
"His current cultivation is comparable to the seventh-layer Martial God Realm!"
"But he has yet to overcome the Tribulation, how could he possibly have such an outstanding strength!"
"How is it not possible? Qin Nan killed seven Young Masters and more than a hundred Martial Monarchs in the God Horoscope Contest all by himself!"
"So it turns out to be the person whom even my master is utterly impressed of, the only cultivator to ascend in history, Empress Feiyue!"
The cultivators were utterly surprised.
Both the news about Qin Nan's achievement and the return of Empress Feiyue had completely toppled their understanding of the world.
Most cultivators had no idea that someone had already broken through the seal of the South-Heaven Gate eight thousand years ago.
Most importantly, Empress Feiyue had returned to the Canglan Continent after eight thousand years, and even managed to drive the South-Heaven Gate, and the authorities back.
She had also killed four patriarch-level authorities and many Martial Gods with ease.
"Father, I've decided. I'll join the Anti-Heaven Alliance from today onward!"
Sometime later, a young man in the Martial Sacred Realm in a stone chamber said decisively.
"It's possible to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and Martial God Realm on my own in this world. I must try to take the path too!"
A Martial Progenitor who had failed in the Monarch Horoscope Contest clenched their fists.
In addition to the three cultivators, the thoughts of the cultivators in every corner of the Canglan Continent began to change too.
Although Qin Nan had yet to overcome the Tribulation and become a Martial God, nor did he shatter the South-Heaven Gate, his achievements of leveling up to the Martial Monarch Realm and the Martial God Realm had given them confidence.
The path was a viable path to success.
"HAHAHA, South-Heaven Gate, you didn't expect this, did you? Senior Empress Feiyue, I've missed the opportunity in the past, but I'm not going to miss it this time!"
A burst of shocking laughter erupted in a desolated place.
The laughter belonged to the Desolated Battle Spirit who had been asleep inside the crystalline coffin.
"Senior, this day has finally arrived! The Canglan Continent now has you and Qin Nan, the nightmare will soon come to an end!"
In a nameless forbidden ground, a blood figure was trembling in excitement.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
On top of that, the forbidden grounds began to emit a tremendous glow, as the experts that had been asleep for thousands of years were awakened.
Everyone was full of excitement and surprise.
They had once followed Empress Feiyue, how could they possibly stay asleep since Empress Feiyue had now returned to the Canglan Continent?
"Who would have thought that the kid would come this far and eve acquired the assistance of Empress Feiyue...forget it, I guess we will stop interfering in the relationship between him and the Princess."
In the Lost Herb Garden, Martial God Tang Mu collected his thoughts and shook his head staring into the distance.
Seven years ago, he mentioned that Qin Nan would never achieve the Martial God Realm and alter the situation.
Even though the situation remained the same, he had started to believe in Qin Nan.
