Peerless Battle Spirit
chapter-1315

Not only did the failure have a huge impact on the bodies of the three Young Masters, but also on their minds too. The slight hint of craziness from before had completely disappeared.

They never expected Duan Qing to have mastered such a terrifying method in the Abstruse God Space.

Despite their identities as Young Masters of ancient tribes and genius Martial Monarchs, despite being able to ask the Supreme Elders for help, what difference did it make in the end?

They had no choice but to fail when facing Duan Qing's capabilities. After all, they could not possibly ask the Supreme Elders to escort them all the time.

The impact lasted for ten days, as their conditions finally improved when the trio recovered their cultivation wills.

The trio discussed for half a day, before finally deciding that they would head into the Abstruse God Space once again.

They were daring enough to do so as they assumed that it was impossible to use the law-defying method of tracking down someone's location and detecting the presence of the experts close to the targets many times in a row in the Abstruse God Space.

If they could use the same trick as many times as they wanted, wouldn't it mean that the two could hunt anyone down that they wished?

The Abstruse God Space would not possibly allow that to happen.

However, it seemed like they were proven wrong.

In less than half a day after entering the Abstruse God Space, the trio who had just experienced relief were greeted by the familiar voice again and their cultivation wills were destroyed in a familiar manner.

The three Young Masters completely lost their minds. They did not dare to enter the Abstruse God Space for the next two months. They finally had the guts to return to the Abstruse God Space after they received the life-protecting talismans from their respective fathers.

At the same time, they were overshadowed by the name Duan Qing. They still bore hatred toward him, yet the drive to get their revenge slowly diminished.

That being said, none of this mattered for the time being.

Meanwhile, in the Abstruse God Space…

After Qin Nan used the last chance to destroy Tu Di, Fei Hong, and Shi Ang, he felt a lot better and the murderous intent in him gradually calmed.

On the other hand, Sima Kong was still enjoying himself. Even though at the start he had not been so willing to hunt the three Martial Monarchs down, but he now realized that it was quite fun too.

"Such a pity, the talismans can only be used five times. It would be great if we had another five chances," Sima Kong could not help but mumble.

"That's enough, let's head to the place on the map your master left you," said Qin Nan with a calm smile.

Since the hunt was over, it was time for them to collect the Abstruse God Pieces.

He had saved up lots of Abstruse God Pieces, a total of three hundred and fifty pieces. It was a huge sum for ordinary Martial Monarchs, yet he was still a great distance away from nine hundred and ninety-nine pieces.

However, an unexpected change took place.

Buzz.

The silent copper mirror in Qin Nan's Divine Sense suddenly emitted an ancient glow, as if a tremendous force was pouring into it, allowing it to blossom with life.

"Is that…"

Qin Nan was startled.

"What's wrong?"

Sima Kong asked when he saw Qin Nan's reaction.

"A month has passed. I'll now open up the forbidden ground for you."

The mysterious woman's icy voice echoed in Qin Nan's mind, followed by a terrifying glow that burst out from the copper mirror, which rose into the sky like a roaring dragon.

The rift in the surroundings trembled, as the woods below were swept by a powerful gust. The beasts made of cultivation wills were terrified, which immediately fell to the ground shivering.

"This…"

Sima Kong's face became extremely pale when he saw this. The presence he had felt just a moment ago was too horrifying. If it weren't for the protection of the Emperor of Thieves' Seal in his body, his mind would have been overwhelmed by the pressure.

"The forbidden ground is called the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace. Memorize this map; with its help, you can easily go to the deepest part without worrying about the danger along the way."

As the mysterious woman finished the sentence, an ancient, mysterious force appeared from the copper mirror and illustrated a dragon-shaped map in Qin Nan's Divine Sense.

"The Dragon Soul Ancient Palace? Thanks."

Qin Nan collected his thoughts and expressed his gratitude.

He did not expect that not only would the mysterious woman activate the forbidden ground for him, she even told him the way in.

It would save him a lot of trouble when the time came.

As usual, the copper mirror fell silent, as if she did not hear his gratitude.

"Qin…Qin Nan…what was that?"

It took Sima Kong a while to recover from the shock, who asked stammeringly.

"I don't know how to explain it, we'll talk about it later. Someone has helped us activate the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace and gave us a map to go inside. By the way, do you know where this Dragon Soul Ancient Palace is?"

Qin Nan's lips twisted slightly.

As expected of the copper mirror, who had done everything for him, yet did not tell him where the place was.

"Holy crap, activated the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace? A map to guide you inside?"

Sima Kong instantly collected his thoughts and completely forgot about the fear he had experienced just a moment ago, as it was replaced with excitement.

The Dragon Soul Ancient Palace, a place that even the Emperor of Thieves was eager to explore.

Most importantly, they had the map to guide them into the place.

Everyone knew that the most dangerous factor regarding a forbidden ground like this was the secret forbidding formations and death traps. If they were able to evade them, wouldn't it mean that they could get all the treasure and successions in the place?

At that instant, something unexpected took place once again.

An ancient voice suddenly appeared in Qin Nan and Sima Kong's ears.

"The twelveth-ranked forbidden ground in the Abstruse God Space—the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace—has been activated. Every cultivator is welcome to go explore it. Smashing fifteen Abstruse God Pieces now will grant you a map of the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace."

The voice belonged to Old Man Taia.

"Mm?"

Qin Nan wore a confused expression.

He never thought that Old Man Taia would be transmitting his voice to everyone.

Didn’t that mean every Martial Monarch in the Abstruse God Space would know about the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace?

And what was with the ‘twelve forbidden grounds’?

Sima Kong who was aware of Qin Nan's confusion immediately said, "Qin Nan, I believe you know that the Abstruse God Space is separated into the Heaven Realm and the Earth Realm?"

"Mm, I do know that."

Qin Nan slightly nodded.

"In the Heaven Realm, there are thirty forbidden grounds of various sizes; each time the forbidden ground is accessible, the Abstruse God Space will notify every Martial Monarch.

"Currently, the third-ranked City of Fog, the eighth-ranked Ancient Path Ocean, and the seventeenth-ranked Serene City have lots of Martial Monarchs exploring them.

"A place like these forbidden grounds usually has lots of good stuff. Otherwise, it wouldn't attract the attention of so many Martial Monarchs…"

Sima Kong explained.

"I see."

Qin Nan nodded. He indeed had no idea that the Abstruse God Space was so complicated.

It turned out that the information given by the scroll was only the basics.

"Since everyone knows that the Dragon Soul Ancient Palace has been activated, many people will be making their way there. Let's quickly head over too."

Qin Nan spoke as he took out fifteen Abstruse God Pieces and smashed them. An ancient map formed by Qi was drawn before them.
