Chapter 395 - The Triple Door (1/2)

...Caomu Peak, somewhere deserted...

Qin Nan was busy reading the newly-posted honorable quest in the Qinglong Scroll, while the astonishment on his face showed no sign of dissipating.

The Grand Competition of the Sixteen Mountains was open to all cultivators under the Martial Dominator Realm, which took place at the Qinglong Sacred Area in three months’ time.

Although the details of the competition were yet to be revealed, it was said that the prizes were tremendous.

The first ranked would be rewarded with a thousand Primary Stones and three Dominator Weapons. The second ranked would be given eight hundred Primary Stones and one Dominator Weapon. Six hundred Primary Stones for the third, and so on… A difference of two hundred Primary Stones as the rank got lower. In other words, even the tenth ranked would receive two hundred Primary Stones!

How significant were two hundred Primary Stones?

Qin Nan would need to refine at least two hundred Yue-ranked pills to exchange for them!

The prizes were absolutely fantastic!

“If I were to come first in the competition, with the one thousand Primary Stones, and the extra ones after selling the three Dominator Weapons, it’s highly possible that I could level up the Divine Battle Spirit to Di rank!”

Qin Nan took a deep breath, as his eyes turned fiery.

If a tenth-grade Xuan ranked Martial Spirit could place him at close to the top of the lower district among the geniuses, a Di-ranked Martial Spirit would definitely allow him to become the top genius of the lower district!

Who would stand a chance against a Di-ranked Martial Spirit?

“I must take part in this competition!”

Qin Nan instantly decided and proceeded to accept the quest.

However, at that instant, a voice appeared in his mind, which turned out to be Peak Leader Duanmu speaking in a serious tone, “Qin Nan, now that the situation has changed, I’m afraid someone has their eyes on you! It’s better if you don’t take part in the upcoming Grand Competition of the Sixteen Mountains. Someone might use it as a chance to harm you!”

“Someone trying to harm me? Who would that be?”

Qin Nan was startled.

Peak Leader Duanmu’s tone was filled with a hint of rage, “We still have no idea who they are, only a few suspects at the moment. Tang Qingshan and us are currently investigating it. However, we are confident that they have somehow found out that you are the person we’ve selected. Therefore, in order to stop our plan, they will be targeting you.”

“I see…”

Qin Nan nodded his head.

Although he was clueless as to what had happened at the Ocean of Death back then, one thing he could vaguely guess was that there existed some sort of secret at the Ocean of Death, involving a great conspiracy.

Otherwise, he would not be targeted out of nowhere.

“Thanks for the reminder, senior, but don’t worry. I’m going to take part in this Grand Competition of the Sixteen Mountains, and I’ll return alive!”

Qin Nan said in a calm manner.

He was not afraid of danger, nor death, as he was the bearer of the Divine Battle Spirit.

That being said, Qin Nan could easily request Primary Stones from Peak Leader Duanmu and the others to rank up his Divine Battle Spirit. However, Qin Nan was not willing to do so, as he believed that in the Martial World, it was extremely important to rely on himself.

The Grand Competition of the Sixteen Mountains not only provided him a chance to earn Primary Stones, it could serve as a training ground to him too.

“Fine, be careful.”

Peak Leader Duanmu clearly knew Qin Nan’s personality, thus he did not advise further. After telling him what he needed to pay attention to, his voice disappeared.

“Only those below the Martial Dominator Realm are allowed to take part in the competition. In other words, there will be lots of peak Martial Ancestor Realm experts participating in the competition. If those guys are planning to deal with me, they will send Martial Ancestor Realm—or even peak Martial Ancestor Realm—geniuses to do so!”
