Chapter 1173 - The Shocked Continent
Following the series of events, the Monarch Ascending Ceremony continued to take place.
Ao Cangtian was given the monarch title 'Battle Dragon', while Sorceress Qian Qian received the monarch title 'Sorceress'. Tang Qingshan was given the monarch title 'Black Saber', thus making them the Battle Dragon Martial Monarch, the Sorceress Martial Monarch and the Black Saber Martial Monarch. They had officially become authorities of the Canglan Continent.
In the past, someone receiving monarch titles would surely be exciting news to the public, grabbing the attention of countless cultivators.
However, the entire Middle Continent and the half-God region were not setting their eyes on monarch titles, as everyone's attention was placed on the series of events that took place during the Monarch Ascending Ceremony!
...Meanwhile, the Middle Continent!"
"Holy crap! Qin Nan has surpassed the rules of cultivation by having seven Martial Trees!"
"Gasp! Seven Martial Trees, how did he do that? So there are four of them now!"
"Tsk tsk, I thought surpassing the rules of cultivation was only a rumor, but it's actually real!"
"Mm? Damn, the three great factions have altered their rules. Even a second-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit is enough to join them?"
"That's right, the requirements have changed! The three great factions brought quite a few geniuses of the God Ranking to the Middle Continent this time, trying to trample the Middle Continent, but they were all crushed by Qin Nan on his own!"
"Just Qin Nan himself? Seriously? I can feel my blood boiling just by hearing that!"
"Who would have thought, it's a surprise that this Qin Nan is actually so strong!"
"Does that mean the geniuses of the Middle Continent are not so weak comparing to the three great factions!"
"That's right, I don't care how they have changed the requirements, I will never join them!"
"I agree! The three great factions think they can humiliate the cultivators of the Middle Continent. How naive!"
A few astounded voices were uttered across the entire Middle Continent!
Many things had happened during the Monarch Ascending Ceremony. Any one of them was enough to shock the entire Middle Continent on its own.
In comparison, the cultivators of the Middle Continent were more intrigued by Qin Nan's achievements than by the change of requirements of the three great factions or the news regarding the three geniuses of the half-God region surpassing the rules of cultivation!
This time, every cultivator and expert was discussing Qin Nan!
If Qin Nan were a hot topic before because of the sudden incredible drop of his ranking, this time, his image in everyone's heart had completely changed as he entered the limelight!
Due to the same reason, the three great factions were unable to achieve what they wanted from changing the requirements of recruiting new disciples. In fact, most of the cultivators and geniuses were even more determined to stay in the Middle Continent!
...Meanwhile, in the half-God region...
As the news about the Monarch Ascending Ceremony arrived, every cultivator of the different factions was astounded.
"What? Even a desolate place like the Middle Continent has a genius surpassing the rules of cultivation by having seven Martial Trees?"
"Yeah, his name is Qin Nan. The three great factions sent their disciples of the God Ranking to trample the cultivators of the Middle Continent, but they were all defeated by him, placing him in the limelight instead!"
"Tsk tsk, seven Martial Trees! Who would have thought that there would be a fourth person surpassing the rules of cultivation!"
"Humph, what difference does that make? From what I know, I don't think Qin Nan has inherited the Monarch Horoscope during the Monarch Horoscope Contest in the Middle Continent?"
"What? Qin Nan did not achieve the Martial Monarch Realm?"
"You heard it right, not only did he not achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, but he was also listed as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Sacred Ground!"
"For real? A three-starred enemy? Tsk tsk, that's a pity then. Being listed as a three-starred enemy before achieving the Martial Monarch Realm, he's pretty much screwed!"
"I also heard that Martial Monarch Nanjian was assigned to eliminate him, but he failed because the Anti-Heaven Alliance interfered!"
"So what if he wasn’t killed yet? He would have to wait at least a hundred years for the next Monarch Horoscope Contest. Even if he were able to escape once, do you really think he could escape every time for a hundred years?"
Unlike the disciples of the Middle Continent, the cultivators of the half-God region were not too astounded, as they already knew about the change of rules of the three great factions and the news about Shen Tianjing and the others. The only surprise they learned of was Qin Nan surpassing the rules of cultivation.
That being said, after feeling astounded for a while, the attitude of the cultivators of the half-God region immediately became disdainful.
So what if he had surpassed the rules of cultivation?
His fate was pretty much decided after failing to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm and being listed as a three-starred enemy by the South-Heaven Sacred Ground.
Meanwhile, in the half-God region, a few mysterious factions, powerful cultivators, and ancient authorities began to make their moves!
The reason was that they all wanted to surpass the rules of cultivation!
After all, Qin Nan was different than Shen Tianjing and the others!
Qin Nan had no faction protecting him, and had also failed to achieve the Martial Monarch Realm, which made him an easy target!
At the same time, with the Dragon Emperor Clan interfering, the news regarding how Qin Nan had surpassed the rules of cultivation quickly spread to every corner of the Middle Continent and the half-God region!
"Look! Qin Nan has told everyone the method to surpass the rules of cultivation!"
"Tsk tsk, doesn't it look too simple to be true? Well, it makes sense still!"
"Qin Nan swore in the name of the Heavens and Earth, and I've also deduced that it's the only possible way to produce the second Martial Tree!"
"Damn, he has seven Martial Trees!"
"I would want to have seven too!"
"Quick, let's try it out!"
"Spread the word, search the ancient records and see if there's anything useful! Call the five elders to return at once to determine what force we'll need to produce a new Martial Tree!"
The entire Middle Continent and the half-God region were currently experiencing a new trend of cultivation.
Everyone was trying to surpass the rules of cultivation!
The reason being that everyone had a dream of higher cultivations!
They had never had any idea how to do it, but now the method was right in front of them. How could they not have a go at it?
As such, the cultivators and authorities who were initially planning to hunt Qin Nan down immediately decided against it.
After all, since they already knew the method to surpass the rules of cultivation, there was no need to hunt Qin Nan down.
That being said, a few of the authorities and mysterious factions were still interested in Qin Nan.
Everything had gone according to Qin Nan's prediction, but what he did not realize was...
Just because he had revealed the method of surpassing the rules of cultivation, it had opened a new door for many cultivators, which caused the path of cultivation of the Canglan Continent to change tremendously in the long run, as a brand new era had begun!
