Chapter 981 – The Resistance from the Ancient Sabers

Qin Nan’s vision blurred .

He had been able to see the peak clearly a moment ago, but it was now blocked by a mysterious force, preventing anyone from peeking past the clouds .

“The mysterious force is coming from the inside of the mountain, which means…”

Qin Nan’s heart shuddered .

He had entirely forgotten something critical until now . The Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain was not powerful because of the ancient sabers, but the mountain itself!

The fact that it was able to hold so many sabers brought a question to Qin Nan, Where exactly did it come from?

In the midst of his doubts, the First Elder of the Heaven-Saber Sect broke the silence, “Core disciples, head to the first layer of the clouds . Inner disciples the second layer, and outer disciples the third layer . Once you find yourself a spot, start comprehending at once . ”

It appeared that the three layers of cloud were specifically set up for the core, inner, and outer disciples .

In other words, the core disciples would have an advantage trying to communicate with the ancient sabers .

Due to the mysterious force of the mountain, the crowd was unable to see the eight ancient sabers on the peak directly regardless of their eye-techniques . However, those at the first layer of cloud could easily see them with their naked eyes, as they were extremely close to them .

Even if it were a zhang closer, the chance of communicating with the ancient sabers was higher as well .

Under the crowd’s admiring gaze, Dao Qianzhong, Wen Wu, and the rest of core disciples proceeded to the first cloud layer . Following this, Qin Nan, Tang Qingshan, and the inner disciples flew to the second cloud layer .

The disciples sat down on the ground as their Divine Sense flew toward the peak .

The lines of sabers on the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain began to vibrate, emitting a faint glow responding to the summoning, apart from the eight ancient sabers that remained motionless as usual .

“I’m not sure if anyone will be getting the ancient sabers this time . ”

The elders exchanged glances with one another with a stern expression, before setting their eyes on the peak .

…Meanwhile, at the second cloud layer…

As Qin Nan unleashed his Divine Sense, his mind was filled with voices, as if many people were trying to summon him from a distance away .

The voices were the sabers that had answered the summoning of his Divine Sense .

Qin Nan’s Divine Sense scanned the area quickly before moving forward . The reason being that every cultivator was only given one attempt, with ten being the maximum number of sabers they could retrieve at a time, thus he would not waste his chance easily .

“Mm?” Qin Nan raised his eyebrows .

As his Divine Sense moved toward the peak, its movement was restricted by an invisible force .

“It’s most likely due to the cloud layers . The advantage that the core disciples are given is greater than I had thought!” The thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind as he gathered his Divine Sense and thrust forward like an invisible saber .

Following a soft thud, his Divine Sense broke free from the barrier and reached the top of the mountain .

At that instant, in addition to him, the Divine Sense of other outer disciples, inner disciples, and core disciples had also gathered at the peak .

Everyone wanted the ancient sabers .

Unlike the other sabers along the way, the eight ancient sabers did not respond to Qin Nan’s summoning .

Qin Nan was not surprised either . After all, his Martial Skill Talent was not enough to capture the attention of the ancient sabers .

“Let’s try a stream of the Heaven-Shattering Saber’s will!”

Qin Nan unleashed a stream of the Heaven-Shattering Saber’s will into his Divine Sense and directed it at the eight ancient sabers .

Buzz!

As he thought, the eight ancient sabers immediately reacted .

“Something’s not right!” Qin Nan’s expression changed instead of being filled with joy .

Eight shocking intents from the ancient sabers sprang toward Qin Nan’s Divine Sense, trying to shatter it .

Fortunately, Qin Nan’s Divine Sense was protected by the copper mirror, thus the intents were neutralized as soon as they entered Qin Nan’s mind .

“How could this be?” Qin Nan frowned .

The outcome had entirely exceeded his expectations .

He had initially thought he could convince the eight ancient sabers to surrender with the will of the Heaven-Shattering Saber, but the outcome was the other way around .

“Could it be…”

A sudden thought crossed Qin Nan’s mind . Was it possible that the will of the Heaven-Shattering Saber was too powerful, thus the eight ancient sabers subconsciously tried to resist it?

“What should I do then? I can at most unleash a stream of the Heaven-Shattering Saber’s will . Anything more would surely grab the attention of the elders, or even irritate the Nine Sabers Ancient Mountain!”

Qin Nan was troubled .

The Heaven-Shattering Saber could easily overwhelm the ancient sabers, but he could not use too much of its power in this situation .

“It seems like I can’t rely on the Heaven-Shattering Saber . I have to find some other ways to earn their approval . ” Qin Nan soon reached a conclusion, as his Divine Sense observed the eight ancient sabers, trying to locate a breakpoint .

“Interesting, the patterns on the ancient sabers seem out of place, but each contains a special purpose . Each of the symbols of gods and demons must represent something . ”

Qin Nan’s eyes flickered .

Judging from the way the trial was set up, apart from using their aura to summon the ancient sabers, observing the patterns on the sabers was the only option left . If they were able to learn something through the patterns, they could find the way to communicate with the ancient sabers .

“One with the mind!”

Qin Nan gathered his focus .

His Divine Sense scanned the patterns on the eight sabers, as countless ideas popped up in his heart .

Comprehending the eight sabers at the same time!

Time gradually passed . The eight pictures in Qin Nan’s mind became clearer as he pondered; some were filled with rumbling oceans, destruction of nature, or the lamentation of life .

Eight ancient sabers, eight entirely different wills!

“This is a demonic saber, and the patterns on it represent blood and fire, which could be combined into a terrifying saber art…” Qin Nan murmured as he continued to deduce the saber arts represented by the patterns on the ancient sabers .

One incense, two incense…The period it took three incense to burn had passed .

Qin Nan had finally comprehended the saber arts illustrated by the patterns of the first and second ancient sabers .

“Crimson Sky-Butcher Art!”

“The Collapse of the Sun and Moon!”

Qin Nan groaned as he presented the Monarch Arts to the first and second ancient sabers through his Divine Sense .

The two ancient sabers emitted a faint glow as if they were awakened by Qin Nan’s summoning .

A moment later, the glow vanished, replaced by a stronger saber intent that slashed in Qin Nan’s direction!

“What happened?” Qin Nan was startled .

Why were the two ancient sabers still attacking him when he was using the Monarch Arts to communicate with them?
