Chapter 980 – Thousand Light Saber Monarch

“It’s opened?” Qin Nan thought as he quickly gazed ahead with his left eye .

He could see ten ten-inch-long golden daggers appearing from the rift and combining together to produce a brilliant glow, which rapidly expanded into a square dojo . In just less than thirty breaths’ time, it had turned into a three thousand zhang long structure .

“Outer disciples, please enter the dojo . ” Two old white-haired men stood on either side of the dojo and yelled .

The outer disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect exited the palaces and headed straight to the dojo, standing toward the back in an orderly fashion . Meanwhile, Qin Nan keenly noticed that they were lining up based on their ranking .

“Inner disciples, please enter, followed by the geniuses from other factions!”

The inner disciples made their way to the dojo .

“Qin Nan, it’s time . ” Tang Qingshan’s voice appeared in Qin Nan’s mind, prompting him to fly out of the Saber Art Pavilion . He caught up to Tang Qingshan as they both made their way to the front of the dojo, capturing the attention of the crowd .

“Elders!”

“Hall Leaders!”

“Core disciples!”

The elders and Hall Leaders arrived .

When Qin Nan heard the call for core disciples, he instantly raised his head .

Wen Wu, three young men, and one woman slowly approached the dojo in the air . Even though there were only five of them, their aura completely overwhelmed the crowd’s presence .

The status of core disciples at the Heaven-Saber Sect was second only to the two Saber Monarchs .

“That young man must be the top core disciple of the Heaven-Saber Sect, currently ranked ninth on the Monarch Ranking…” Qin Nan’s eyes were fixed on one of the young men, whose aura was extraordinary . He sensed it to be terrifying and weak at certain times, while sometimes it felt like a mix of different auras, as if there were different people residing within his body .

The young man squinted and glimpsed in Qin Nan’s direction as if he were aware of something, before he withdrew his gaze .

“His name is Dao Qianzhong, the son of the Thousand Light Saber Monarch . It is said that when he was born, three mysterious ancient sabers appeared from a far distance and merged into his body . I once competed against him with my will, a worthy opponent indeed . ”

Tang Qingshan transmitted his voice to Qin Nan .

“Three mysterious ancient sabers entered his body when he was born?”

Qin Nan’s eyes were filled with shock . It was his first time hearing something as bizarre as that . Even Tang Qingshan treated him as his rival, indicating his outstanding talent .

“And now…the Saber Monarch!”

The two old white-haired men raised their tone, as if they were trying to unleash all of the passion in their heart .

Whoosh!

An illusionary figure appeared in the sky . As soon as he showed himself, the surroundings suddenly darkened due to his presence, capturing the crowd’s attention .

A faint monarch aura swept the place .

“Greetings, Saber Monarch!”

Everyone brought their fists together and yelled, resulting in a powerful sight .

“So this must be the other Saber Monarch of the Heaven-Saber Sect, the Thousand Light Saber Monarch . It doesn’t seem like his clone, but a stream of his will, how strange…” Qin Nan frowned while glancing at the glowing figure .

“Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain . Normally, it’s opened once every ten years, but it has only been six years since it was last opened . I believe everyone knows that it’s because of the Monarch Horoscope Contest, and many geniuses from the other factions are here too . I hope the disciples of our sect will not disappoint me or the Extraordinary Saber Monarch . ” The Thousand Light Saber Monarch spoke with a surprisingly gentle voice .

“We will not let the Saber Monarchs and ourselves down!”

The disciples roared as their eyes burned passionately .

Qin Nan’s eyes squinted . Although the voice seemed to be gentle, it was actually enchanted with a powerful Monarch Art, which was on par with the Undying Martial Monarch’s strength, able to influence the crowd secretly, especially the disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect .

The Thousand Light Saber Monarch suddenly glanced at Qin Nan .

Qin Nan’s figure became tense, but fortunately the Thousand Light Saber Monarch soon switched his focus .

“The thirteen elders will oversee the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain . Besides that, if any disciple manages to draw out any of the ancient sabers, they will be given a chance to be my disciple, regardless of their Martial Spirit rank and cultivation level . If my disciple manages to draw any of the ancient sabers, I will reward them greatly!” The Thousand Light Saber Monarch shocked the entire crowd .

As everyone knew, the Thousand Light Saber Monarch was only willing to recruit anyone with a fifth-grade Tian ranked Martial Spirit, who must be a core disciple as well .

Even Cui Lixu was only his probationary disciple .

“What? Regardless of Martial Spirit and cultivation?”

“This is my chance! I will surely rise after becoming the Saber Monarch’s disciple!”

“I learned my way around the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain in my last attempt . I will surely succeed this time!”

The disciples of the Heaven-Saber Sect became restless .

“Alright, that’s all I have to say, otherwise I would be wasting everyone’s time . I’ll now let the Sect-Protecting Godly Saber activate the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain . ” The Thousand Light Saber Monarch cheerily said as he performed a hand seal, firing a mysterious force into the sky .

“Sect-Protecting Godly Saber?”

Qin Nan immediately raised his head .

BANG!

The giant ancient saber floating in the sky suddenly unleashed a terrifying force, which created a giant hole with a circumference of thirty zhang in the air . The sound of waves could be heard coming from the gap .

“The Sect-Protecting Godly Saber is powerful indeed . The Heaven-Shattering Saber almost showed itself just now . ” Qin Nan sensed the urge of his right arm and let out a sigh of relief . If he had not reacted in time, the occasion would have been ruined .

“The core disciples may now enter the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain . ” The elders floated in the sky and declared .

Dao Qianzhong, Wen Wu, and the others dived into the gap .

“Inner disciples . ” The tone of the elders changed instantly .

Tang Qingshan and Qin Nan, and the rest of the crowd proceeded toward the hole .

Qin Nan scanned his surroundings as he landed .

They were currently on an island, surrounded by a boundless ocean . Water was the only thing visible as they gazed into the distance .

At the center of the island stood an enormous mountain that towered into the sky .

The mountain was at least eight thousand zhang tall, surrounded by three layers of clouds, which seemingly separated it into three parts . Furthermore, a pitch-black forest could be seen growing on the mountain, with countless sabers sticking into the trees throughout . The forest grew all the way to the top of the mountain, where the remaining eight mysterious ancient sabers were located .

“Mm?”
