Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 1067

Chapter 1067: Dongsheng Ting’s Doomsday

 

Dongsheng Ting naturally discovered the sealing effect on space that picture scroll had. The spinning wheel was something gifted to him by his father the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and was an extremely high-ranked immortal weapon. Also, it wasn’t something difficult to control like many other attacking-type immortal weapons. As long as you infuse immortal energy within, the spinning wheel could amplify and release an absorption might that swallowed and absorb attacks from any kind of immortal weapons. Even the ancient Driftsnow City’s attacks could do nothing against it.

However, it was actually restricted by this picture scroll. Because of the black-colored flowing runes of sealing-attribute energy on the scroll, the spinning wheel had no way to use its effect to the fullest and was directly sealed off instead.

It was unknown what identity this mysterious person had. He actually wanted to take away all their immortal treasures? But now, he can only choose to first kill Qin Wentian before dealing with the mysterious masked young man.

“BOOM!” Qin Wentian’s immortal foundation gushed forth with might. His perfect saint-grade immortal foundation radiated a dazzling glow as a rumbling noise echoed from within his body. A burst of light flashed as a manifestation of his immortal foundation could be seen above in the air like a phenomena in the sky. Numerous beams of immortal light blasted towards Dongsheng Ting. The immortal light transformed into a diagram of different colors resembling a sword that could kill everything and a giant that was capable of absolute suppression and also an ancient halberd that was the epitome of destruction.

Dongsheng Ting used the spinning wheel and blocked it in front of him. Fearsome immortal light shot towards it, completely enveloping the wheel but they were all absorbed by it. It seems like as long as the attack contains immortal energy, everything would be devoured. There was no counter to it.

“Old dog Eastern Sage is actually willing to part with this? After you die, this powerful immortal weapon will be lost. Wouldn’t he feel pain from losing such a valuable weapon?” Qin Wentian naturally could tell how valuable the immortal-ranked spinning wheel was. Dongsheng Ting daring to chase him so far was all because he had this treasure.

“You are already about to die, yet your mouth is still so filthy.” Dongsheng Ting’s immortal energy infused his immortal-ranked glove as it instantly radiated a terrifying immortal might. Punching out in anger, a chain of gigantic fists tunneled through space, collapsing everything, glimmering with a terrifying killing light.

A thunderous rumbling sound echoed as Qin Wentian’s form expanded, so large that it felt he was about to break through the sealed space. His God’s Hand was activated and blasted out, capable of destroying everything, aiming for Dongsheng Ting. Since long-range attacks would be absorbed by Dongsheng Ting’s treasure, he would use the most powerful and direct method of combat.

God’s Hand truly blotted out the skies, able to cover everything. Dongsheng Ting’s spinning wheel expanded, madly absorbing the immortal might. With a huge booming sound, God’s Hand blasted into the wheel as both parties were forced apart.

“Useless!” Qin Wentian roared. He then turned to Nanfeng Yunxi, “Since he is so cowardly, Yunxi you go behind him and attack. I want to see how he can simultaneously react to attacks on two fronts.”

“Okay.” Nanfeng Yunxi’s silhouette flickered. A pair of phoenix wings formed behind her back as she began to radiate a sense of holiness. In the air, the phantom of a phoenix appeared, radiating an immense power as Nanfeng Yunxi circled behind Dongsheng Ting.

“Since you are so shameless, I don’t need to be polite with you.” Qin Wentian spoke. “Nanfeng, use an immortal weapon. If he used the spinning wheel on you, keep it immediately. I want to see how fast his movements are.”

As the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian took out his demon sword. The demon sword sliced across his finger as his blood dripped upon it. Instantly, the demon sword was dyed red as a fearsome demonic might erupted forth from it, sweeping across heaven and earth.

“BOOM!” The demon sword grew incomparably large, matching the current size of Qin Wentian himself. With God’s Hand activated, he wielded the demon sword in his hand as a razor-like sharpness could be felt emitting from it, wanting to rip apart everything.

“ABSORB!” Dongsheng Ting faced the spinning wheel in his hand towards the demon sword in Qin Wentian’s hand.

Behind him, Nanfeng Yunxi moved. She was like a streak of lightning, and there was a scorching red phoenix spear in her hand as she directly pierced it towards Dongsheng Ting’s back. Flames erupted in her surroundings and the clarion cry of a phoenix rang out. Dongsheng Ting then hurriedly swivelled the spinning wheel, facing Nanfeng Yunxi’s direction.

“BOOM!” Qin Wentian’s demon sword ferociously slashed out, wanting to sunder the space into two. A fearsome towering silhouette of a great roc crushed downwards, causing Dongsheng Ting to turn ashen. He frenziedly raised the spinning wheel to protect his head.

Qin Wentian’s demon sword directly cleaved down, a terrifying blast of energy slammed against the spinning wheel resulting in a thunderous explosive boom. Dongsheng Ting’s body was forced downwards as he sank a few inches into the ground.

“You want to absorb? I’ll let you absorb as much as you want!” Qin Wentian roared. The demon sword expanded even more, pressing down with tyrannical force on Dongsheng Ting.

Dongsheng Ting screamed in rage. The demon sword pressed downwards with more indomitable might as Qin Wentian’s gigantic form stood on it, causing Dongsheng Ting to sink even deeper into the ground.

“Without this treasure, you are nothing but a piece of trash.” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. On the other side, Zi Yunwu’s countenance drastically changed when he saw the situation. He wanted to break off the battle but the mysterious masked young man’s sealing abilities were too terrifying. If he was careless, even his immortal foundation would be sealed away. He could only put in all his effort and fight valiantly, not giving any chance to his opponent.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s spear stabbed towards Dongsheng Ting. Dongsheng Ting roared like a mad man and punched out with his gloved right hand.

“Phoenix Rip!” Nanfeng Yunxi coldly shouted. Boundless spear light flashed, transforming into the images of multiple phoenixes that ripped the fist light by Dongsheng Ting apart.

Qin Wentian’s gigantic form stomped down on the demon sword ruthlessly. Dongsheng Ting groaned as he coughed out another mouthful of blood. He could no longer endure the pressure and he chose to go along with the flow. His entire person along with the spinning wheel, was drilled right into the ground.

“You must be truly courting death.” Qin Wentian coldly laughed when he saw this scene. Widening his stance, he issued a flurry of punches onto the ground causing quakes to rock the area. Countless clouds of dust floated up in the air. When Dongsheng Ting appeared again, his entire body was trembling as wounds covered him completely. It was an extremely pathetic sight.

The demon sword hummed incessantly and flew up. Qin Wentian grabbed it by the hilt and slashed down. Dongsheng Ting was already injured but at this moment, he had no other option but to lift the spinning wheel up to protect his head once more. The absorption energy of the spinning wheel actually caused the speed of the demon sword’s slash to be faster. With a thunderous boom, the sword slammed into the wheel and the impact almost knocked the treasure out of Dongsheng Ting’s hands. However a moment later, Dongsheng Ting steadied himself as the demon sword actually sunk inch by inch into the spinning wheel treasure.

“ABSORB FOR ME!” Dongsheng Ting roared. The spinning wheel transformed into a bottomless pit. Dongsheng Ting’s eyes flashed with ruthlessness, he placed all his hope in this supreme treasure.

Nanfeng Yunxi descended as her immortal foundation gushed forth with might. Dongsheng Ting defended as he roared, “I have no grudge with the Southern Phoenix Clan, you best not go too overboard!”

“RISE!” Qin Wentian roared, the demon sword flashed by, rising up before smashing towards the side. With a deafening boom, Dongsheng Ting and the spinning wheel were smashed into one of the black runes that sealed this space. The spinning wheel was finally knocked out of his hands.

Qin Wentian kept his demon sword, the light radiating from the spinning wheel also finally dimmed and Qin Wentian stowed it away.

“You…” Dongsheng Ting’s eyes turned red, staring at Qin Wentian as his countenance turned as pale as paper. Another treasure appeared in his hand. He crushed that treasure quickly as powerful beams of light enveloped his body while he attempted to rush out of the sealed space. However, an instant later, his body bounced back as he tumbled to the ground. Staring at the flowing black runes and the boundaries of this sealed space, Dongsheng Ting’s expression was like dead ashes. He had no way out.

“How do you want to die?” Qin Wentian stared at Dongsheng Ting’s actions as a mocking expression appeared on his face. After that, the demon sword expanded once more as it smashed downward, slamming on Dongsheng Ting’s body. Once again, Dongsheng Ting was smashed into the boundary of the sealed space as the impact shattered more of his bones again. He was coughing blood unceasingly.

“If you dare to kill me, my father will definitely pay any price necessary to finish you, your friends and your family!” Dongsheng Ting screamed. Another bout of violent beating occurred as he slumped onto the ground helplessly like a corpse.

“Seems like the strand of immortal sense on you should be something designed to activate only if your life is in danger. This means that as long as we don’t kill you, it won’t activate.” Qin Wentian’s eyes were incomparably cold as he stared at Dongsheng Ting. He kept the demon sword as he returned to his normal size. walking towards Dongsheng Ting.

Dongsheng Ting stared at the teasing look in Qin Wentian’s eyes and felt like he was about to go mad. He was the son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, a young master of the high-up and lofty Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. His heart was always filled with an intense pride. He looked down on Qin Wentian, but was actually jealous of him. He wanted to use this opportunity entering the ancient mountain to kill Qin Wentian off.

When he saw Qin Wentian fleeing from him, he was extremely happy. He truly enjoyed the satisfactory feeling of hunting down Qin Wentian. In his eyes, Qin Wentian was a mere ant, he had nowhere to escape.

However, now it seems that everything was planned by Qin Wentian. He felt a little strange, as though there was something wrong somewhere. But no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t identify what the sense of wrongness was exactly.

Right now, Qin Wentian was disdainfully looking down at him, trampling upon his pride and controlling his life.

“Aren’t you very protective of the lives on your particle world? I heard back then when my father led his army to war in that particle world, you tried all means to get him to back off. If you dare to kill me here today, my father will definitely bury everyone on that particle world together with me. I dare guarantee this.” Dongsheng Ting roared.

“The more you try to threaten me, the weaker you appear to be. You want me to spare your cheap life? Do you think it’s possible?” Qin Wentian sarcastically laughed. His palm slammed into Dongsheng Ting’s body with a perfect control of strength, shattering his bones but keeping him alive. Dongsheng Ting cried out in agony as he laid crippled on the ground. But even so, he still had a strand of hope. He was an immortal-foundation expert, as long as his immortal foundation wasn’t shattered and he wasn’t dead, it didn’t matter how heavy his injuries were, they could all be healed.

“Do you still remember when we first met, what sort of gaze you had in your eyes when you looked at me? The you then, did you ever think that this day would occur?” Qin Wentian spoke. Dongsheng Ting stared at Qin Wentian’s gaze, the gaze he had back then was precisely the gaze Qin Wentian was looking at him with now. Mocking, filled with disdain, like looking upon an ant.

“Before you can kill me, my father’s immortal sense would definitely activate. I’m betting that you don’t dare to kill me!” Dongsheng Ting wanted to comfort himself, holding on to the last strand of hope and believe that he would be able to survive this ordeal and live on!

Chapter 1068: Execution

 

“You are truly confident of your claims.” Qin Wentian laughed mockingly. This Dongsheng Ting actually believed that he still cared about the immortal sense of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and wouldn’t kill him from fear of revenge.

Dongsheng Ting kept staring at Qin Wentian. When he saw Qin Wentian’s lips curling up into a cold smile, he felt chilled to the very depths of his soul. Could it be that Qin Wentian truly planned to kill him?

When he thought of this, his heart gradually filled with terror.

However at this moment, Qin Wentian wasn’t looking at him but at Nanfeng Yunxi instead as he said, “Yunxi help me stand guard over him. I will go and finish off Zi Yunwu.”

“Okay.” Nanfeng Yunxi nodded. Qin Wentian made his way to another direction. At this moment, Zi Yunwu was already panicking. His opponent had too many strange techniques for him to deal with. The glow radiating from the Yin-Yang fish continuously sapped away and sealed his immortal energy, making him extremely uncomfortable.

That black hound was also quite powerful, and exceedingly persistent in its attacks against him. Its speed was incredibly quick and highly proficient in its sealing abilities.

The color drained from Zi Yunwu’s face as Qin Wentian drew closer. He stared at the masked young man as he said, “Sir, I will give you all my immortal weapons.”

“Earlier, I gave you the chance to do so. Now, I shall plunder them with force,” the mysterious young man said hoarsely, manifesting more diagrams of Yin-Yang Fishes. They effectively sealed away Zi Yunwu’s attack and even his immortal foundation.

Qin Wentian’s demon sword hummed, his immortal might frenziedly gushed outwards as he rushed forward, slashing out with his sword. The terrifying phantoms of great rocs manifested, whistling through the air. Zi Yunwu’s immortal weapon also erupted forth with overwhelming might to block Qin Wentian’s attacks.

The black hound also used this chance to attack. Roaring with rage, Zi Yunwu blasted out with another palm that smashed against the black hound. At this very moment in another direction, the mysterious masked young man took the opportunity to create additional seals, further disrupting Zi Yunwu’s flow of immortal energy.

Zi Yunwu wanted to retract his hand and launch out another attack to defend, yet he only saw Qin Wentian laughing coldly. The demon sword generated a fearsome sword qi vortex that could tear everything apart as it gushed towards Zi Yunwu.

Zi Yunwu took out his life-saving spatial treasure, he was like Dongsheng Ting, wanting to flee this space. A beam of light shot up into the sky but Zi Yunwu’s body remained in the same place. That spatial might was completely blocked by the sealing runes sealing this space. He couldn’t get out of here.

At this moment, the palm of the masked young man slammed into his body. A gigantic diagram of Yin-Yang Fish drilled directly into his body as the immortal light from Zi Yunwu dimmed down.

The masked young man continued blasting palm strikes. Gradually, Zi Yunwu’s immortal might dissipated as his immortal foundation was completely sealed away by the Yin-Yang fish diagrams.

“I can give you anything you want. But if you kill me, my uncle will definitely not spare you.” Zi Yunwu shouted loudly to the mysterious masked young man.

But as the sound of his voice rang out, Qin Wentian’s demon sword was already at his throat.

Zi Yunwu’s face was as pale as paper. He turned his head and looked at Qin Wentian.

“What about me?” Qin Wentian smiled at Zi Yunwu. However, that smile seemed strangely sinister from Zi Yunwu’s perspective.

“Let’s call the matters in the past quits. We are even from now on.” Zi Yunwu stated as he looked at Qin Wentian.

“Are you kidding me?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. “Zi Daoyang wasn’t killed by me but you guys want my life because none of you are courageous enough to kill your way into the Myriad Devil Island. It seems that you all find that I, Qin, am exceptionally good to bully. As for calling matters in the past quits? Who the fuck you think you are? Can you make decisions on behalf of the Violet Emperor?”

“I will plead with my uncle for mercy.” Zi Yunwu spoke.

Qin Wentian mockingly laughed. He stared at the demon sword he held at Zi Yunwu’s throat, “Tell me, what do you think? If I swiftly slash out with my sword, do you think the immortal sense of the Violet Emperor would manifest in time?”

Zi Yunwu went completely pale.

“However, I’m not really interested in this.” Qin Wentian’s smile was extremely strange. That masked young man had already started to collect the treasures and interspatial rings on Zi Yunwu’s body. After doing so, he started walking over to Dongsheng Ting.

Nanfeng Yunxi’s eyes flashed with suspicion when she saw the masked man walking over. She turned her beautiful eyes to Qin Wentian only to see Qin Wentian giving a slight nod to her. She then stepped aside and allowed the masked young man to collect the treasures on Dongsheng Ting.

“Release me and help me kill Qin Wentian. I can guarantee you that you would have even more treasures.” Dongsheng Ting spoke in a low voice to the masked young man, wanting to tempt him to deal with Qin Wentian.

However, the masked young man merely stared at him with indifference. He didn’t even bother to listen at all.

“I’m the son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. Just do as I command, I will never break my words.” Dongsheng Ting continued, yet he only saw the masked young man stretching his hand out and grabbing him by the head. Like dragging the corpse of a dead dog, he was dragging Dongsheng Ting along the ground. Dongsheng Ting’s expression turned incomparably ugly to behold. He was the son of an immortal emperor and his status was extraordinary. However, he was treated in this manner today.

The masked young man dragged Dongsheng Ting to somewhere near Zi Yunwu and tossed him there.

“What do you want to do?” Dongsheng Ting’s body trembled. Being humiliated in this manner was more than what he could endure. He faintly sensed himself walking down the path that leads to death.

Nobody cared about him. He only saw the heavy mocking gaze in Qin Wentian’s eyes.

The eyes which Qin Wentian used to regard the two of them, was with extreme coldness. These two were already planning to kill him before they entered. Since this is the case, they best be prepared to pay a price for their actions.

“Yunxi.” Qin Wentian’s gaze turned to Nanfeng Yunxi. Nanfeng Yunxi walked over but at this moment, she was still feeling extremely bewildered.

Why was Qin Wentian so confident that he would be able to kill Zi Yunwu and Dongsheng Ting? One must know that the two of them had every advantage.

Also, that bronze masked man came at such an opportune time help them against Zi Yunwu and Dongsheng Ting? Why didn’t he join forces with them instead? This made many questions pop up in Nanfeng Yunxi’s mind.

When Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu saw the masked young man methodically dealing with them both while Qin Wentian was watching by the side, the two of them suddenly felt chills behind their back.

Dongsheng Ting’s eyes stared attentively at Qin Wentian and that masked young man. Could it be that these two were acquainted with each other?

“Who are you?” Dongsheng Ting’s expression turned ashen as he stared at the young man with the bronze mask and asked. Evidently, he thought of something. Everything couldn’t be so coincidental.

Sealing this space, cutting their path of retreat. Was this all really just a coincidence?

“You guys…” Zi Yunwu was feeling the chills as well. However, he saw the masked young man walking in front of him and slam his palm onto his body. An overwhelming sealing energy frenziedly invaded his body. Zi Yunwu only felt his immortal energy being completely sealed away while the sealing energy wrecked havoc within his body. Very swiftly, every part of his body was bound by sealing runes; he was completely immobilized.

“What do you want?” Zi Yunwu wanted to speak but he gradually found out that he couldn’t even emit noises. His entire person seemed to be trapped in a nightmare. A fear borne of death was born in his heart, causing his entire body to tremble.

Dongsheng Ting was watching by the side. He laid weakly on the ground and he couldn’t move as well. It felt as though the god of death was walking closer and closer to him and he would die today for sure.

Qin Wentian turned his gaze to Dongsheng Ting, and coincidentally, Dongsheng Ting was also looking right at him.

“Qin Wentian please spare me this one time. I will never find trouble with you again.” Dongsheng Ting’s voice was trembling from fear. He had finally submitted to terror, no longer daring to threaten Qin Wentian and was begging sincerely for his life instead.

“Didn’t you say that I would die for sure in this ancient mountain?” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. Dongsheng Ting wanted him to show mercy?

If he Qin Wentian was the one defeated, there would be no doubt that he would be mercilessly killed by Dongsheng Ting. Dongsheng Ting even threatened him with the lives of people in his particle world, and even said he wanted to pay a visit to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and Qing`er.

Did Dongsheng Ting still wish to live?

“I admit that there’s conflict between us. But everything can be settled. As long as you spare me, I can guarantee that my father won’t pursue you for any past transgressions.” Dongsheng Ting truly panicked, his voice was growing weaker.

“Convincing your father to forget and forgive my transgressions?” A cold smile appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. “What a pity, I don’t intend to spare that old dog Eastern Sage.”

As he spoke, he turned to Nanfeng Yunxi. “Yunxi, let’s leave.”

Nanfeng Yunxi started for a moment before nodding her head. After that, Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi soared through the air. That masked young man waved his hand as an opening appeared in the sealed space. Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi departed this space from that.

Dongsheng Ting stared at the masked young man with perplexity in his gaze, “Who are you exactly? No matter what you want, I will promise it to you. However, you have to spare my life.”

That masked young man walked to the side of him and used the same technique he used on Zi Yunwu. He placed his palms on Dongsheng Ting’s body and very swiftly, every part of Dongsheng Ting’s body was sealed by terrifying sealing runes.

After doing all this, the masked young man waved his hand. The runes on the boundaries of the sealed space faded away, revealing the diagram filled with runes of divine essence of this ancient mountain. He and the black hound started to walk away, leaving behind Zi Yunwu and Dongsheng Ting. The two of them couldn’t even speak, they could only wait here silently for their execution.

After walking some distance away, the masked young man halted. He stretched out his hand and opened his palm as immortal energy coalesced into the shape of an arrow that pointed directly at Zi Yunwu.

“NO!” Zi Yunwu wanted to roar, but he discovered that he was incapable of making any noise.

“Bzz!” The arrow broke apart space and shot right through the air with an incomparably tyrannical force, aiming for the heart of Zi Yunwu. A sharp piercing sound rang out as the arrow sank deeply within. At the moment of contact, a fearsome aura rocked the surrounding space as the projection of the Violet Emperor manifested from the strand of protective immortal sense. He roared in rage as he stared at the mysterious young man but before he could do anything, the divine essence in the unsealed space instantly sent forth waves of energy that rushed into the projection of the Violet Emperor.

The Violet Emperor frenziedly grabbed hold of Zi Yunwu’s body as he rose up into the air, attempting to flee but at this very moment, the energy from the divine essence completely disintegrated his immortal sense. Zi Yunwu’s body then fell from the air and slammed heavily onto the ground. Right now, he still had a breath of life left. But at the next moment, a volley of arrows shot into him, piercing his immortal foundation, his heart and his head, directly nailing him to the ground.

Dongsheng Ting closed his eyes, not daring to see this scene. His entire body had grown soft from fear.

The next moment, another arrow formed in the palm of the masked young man and accurately locked on to him before shooting out once more.

“MY SON!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s immortal sense appeared at the moment of actual danger borne from the arrow drilling into Dongsheng Ting. He only saw the miserable state Dongsheng Ting was in as well as that young man with his features obscured by the bronze mask. The projection manifested from his immortal sense radiated boundless killing intent and directly launched an attack towards the masked young man. However, in a mere instant later, the divine essence in the ancient mountain completely eradicated all traces of his projection.

Dongsheng Ting was in utter despair. At this moment, he was frightened out of his mind. He stared pitifully at the masked young man walking towards him. That cold unfeeling eyes of the masked young man were simply like the eyes of a god of death.

Dongsheng Ting’s lips trembled. It felt as though he wanted to ask this question – Who are you?

“Who do you think I am?” The masked mysterious young man spoke, answering Dongsheng Ting’s unspoken question. For the first time, his voice was normal. And upon hearing that voice and seeing that teasing look in the eyes of this mysterious person, realization hit Dongsheng Ting like a bolt of lightning as he felt his soul plunging through the deepest layer of purgatory, dragged down by hopelessness and despair. Even after Dongsheng Ting died, his eyes were still wide open in shock and disbelief!

Chapter 1069: Nobody knows

 

At the God Hand Mountain Manor, a terrifying aura swept across the heavens and earth. A figure soared up into the air, radiating boundless waves of anger. At this instant, it felt as though apocalypse has arrived.

“MY SON!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor roared in anger. His robes fluttered in the wind as a supreme immortal might bore down on everything in this space. After which, he stepped out, moving towards the Ancient Mountain.

“BOOM!” In the direction of the God Hand Mountain Manor, a burst of violet light flooded the area. The Violet Emperor stood there and was similarly radiating waves of anger that swept over everything in the heavens and earth, exuding a stifling pressure.

Everyone at the God Hand Mountain Manor was stunned into shock as they stared at the Violet Emperor and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor rushing towards the ancient mountain. What happened exactly? Why were these two immortal emperors so angered?

Earlier the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor roared for his son. Could it be that Dongsheng Ting encountered a misfortune? This possibility was very great but why was the Violet Emperor so angered as well?

They wanted to know what happened in the ancient mountain exactly but sadly, they can only depend on speculation. They watched on as the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor tried to barge into the ancient mountain. A thunderous boom blasted out as the entire space trembled. He failed again and again, being bounced back by the resistant force from the ancient mountain. This scene made everyone sigh in admiration at how strong Ancient Emperor Yi was. In Emperor Yi’s era, how strong and terrifying was he?

“Who knows the identity of the young man in the bronze mask? Which clan is he from? For those with information, I will reward you heavily.” The voice of the Violet Emperor was cold to the extreme. His gaze turned to everyone as he asked. The crowd’s expression froze a little as they recalled who the Violet Emperor was talking about. That person had a bronze mask obscuring his features and had been exceedingly mysterious and low profile. He entered the ancient mountain with a black hound as his companion but no one here knew of his identity at all.

“I will heavily reward anyone who has the info as well.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor finally returned, an intense killing intent radiated out from him as he stared at everyone. His eyes had even turned red, he personally watched as his son Dongsheng Ting screamed for help. How miserable was his son then? Crippled, lying helplessly on the ground while brutally being murdered before his eyes. He could see the despair in Dongsheng Ting’s eyes, as well as the pleading look that spoke of a cry for help.

But it was useless. He, who was a great immortal emperor in the immortal realms actually had no way to save his son. Despite giving Dongsheng Ting an extremely powerful treasure and many guards to guarantee his safety, Dongsheng Ting still died in the end. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t even think of this scenario in his dreams. Right now, he didn’t even know who was the one who killed his son.

Everyone was speechless, nobody knew who the masked young man was or where he originated from.

An expression of interest appeared on the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord’s face. Seems like Dongsheng Ting was dead and the person who killed him was none other than the mysterious young man whose features were obscured by the bronze mask.

At this moment, the eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor suddenly turned over to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord as he coldly asked, “That masked young man was too mysterious. Is he someone from your Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect?”

An expression of ridicule appeared on the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord’s face. “Eastern Sage, why do you like to vent your anger on innocent parties? In fact, I truly hope that that person was someone from my sect. Given how heavily Dongsheng Ting was protected, that masked young man must definitely be someone extraordinary seeing that he was able to kill your son. In addition, you also gave your son such a supreme immortal treasure.”

The expression of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor turned cold. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was right. Even with so many measures of protection for Dongsheng Ting, how could this have happened? What happened in the ancient mountain exactly? The Violet Emperor had no idea too. Their immortal sense was disintegrated by the power of the divine essence but before their projections were extinguished, they noticed that that entire space there was sealed. Who was it that had such a powerful spatial sealing treasure? He had no idea at all.

“My son, I will definitely take revenge for you.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor clenched his fist tightly, his killing intent was terrifying to the extreme. He glanced at Emperor Yu as his gaze was filled with ill intent. However, Emperor Yu seemed not to have noticed as he continued drinking and was laughing and smiling to the crowd. He had already reminded everyone that once they entered the ancient mountain, there would be danger. Since those who had entered chose this for themselves, could it be that their elders wanted to vent their anger onto him when their juniors died within?

However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor just lost a son. He must be feeling extremely frustrated.

“That bunch of trash.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor thought of the protectors he sent in with Dongsheng Ting. What a useless bunch, all of them deserved to die.

In the ancient mountain, those experts from the factions of the Violet Emperor and Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor completely had no idea that even the immortal emperors wanted to kill them personally now. They failed completely in their duty to protect their young masters, so what could they expect? But it’s only normal for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to vent his anger on them. There were too many of such incidents in the immortal realms and if they knew Dongsheng Ting had already died, they most probably would be so afraid that they wouldn’t dare to step out of the ancient mountain.

At this moment, Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi had already left the area where Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu died. He didn’t need to worry about anything there any longer. At this moment, Nanfeng Yunxi’s beautiful eyes landed on the handsome face of Qin Wentian. She then asked, “Are you acquainted with that expert?”

“What do you think?” Qin Wentian smiled at Nanfeng Yunxi. He knew that he naturally wouldn’t be able to hide the truth of this matter completely from her.

“You seemed to be fleeing right from the start but most probably, you were waiting for that mysterious masked man to catch up. That person has terrifying sealing abilities and fearsome treasures. Is he your friend? Where is he from?” Nanfeng Yunxi felt extremely curious about this.

“Yunxi, it’s enough that you know about this matter.” Qin Wentian smiled at Nanfeng Yunxi and didn’t say anything more. Nanfeng Yunxi smiled and nodded, “Anyway right now, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor doesn’t even know how Dongsheng Ting died. You did so intentionally, right?”

“What do you think?” Qin Wentian exchanged a mutual glance with Nanfeng Yunxi, everything was said in that glance without words exchanged. Nanfeng Yunxi also understood that she must not reveal anything that happened here today to anyone else. After all, she also played a part in Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu’s deaths.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with coldness when he thought of Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu. He did so because he wanted to make sure that the immortal emperors wouldn’t know how their descendants died exactly. He didn’t directly kill Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu because he knew that although both the emperors hated him now, they still didn’t hate him enough to the extent where they would personally act to kill a junior.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wouldn’t do so because there was a deterrence factor of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. If he did so, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord would surely repay his actions in kind and wipe out the immortal-foundation experts and immortal kings of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect personally. Secondly, it was because of face and his status as an immortal emperor.

The Violet Emperor wouldn’t personally act because there was no excuse for him to do so. After all, Qin Wentian only defeated Zi Daoyang in the City of Ancient Emperors, Mo Xie was the true killer. It was fine if the Violet Emperor sent his subordinates to capture Qin Wentian, but if the Violet Emperor, a great immortal emperor personally acted to kill a junior to vent his anger, what would the other people of the immortal realms see him as?

Hence as he was now, both the immortal emperors did not have sufficient reason to kill him personally.

But if they personally saw Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu being killed by Qin Wentian, they would have the reason to act. Even for immortal emperors, it was possible that they ignored all face and their statuses to kill Qin Wentian. If that happens, he would be in an extremely dangerous situation. Naturally, Qin Wentian wouldn’t choose to allow the situation to develop into such a state.

This was the actual reason why Qin Wentian got Di Tian to come here. When Dongsheng Ting was planning to kill him, he was planning to kill Dongsheng Ting as well. After this matter, Di Tian could vanish forever, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor wouldn’t be able to find any trace of him. Nobody would know that he was Di Tian and Di Tian was him.

“Holy Successor.” A voice drifted over as the two of them continued their way. It was none other than the guard of Nanfeng Yunxi earlier. Seeing that Nanfeng Yunxi and Qin Wentian were safe, the guard immediately rushed over.

“None of the others came by?” Nanfeng Yunxi asked.

“They should still be locked down in combat.” One of them replied. After all, both sides were immortals. The battle wouldn’t be concluded so fast.

“Let us go back to take a look.” Nanfeng Yunxi spoke. After which, the three of them mounted her puppet phoenix and flew through the air and as expected not long after, they ran into the groups of people still fighting against each other.

“Are you okay?” That disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm clad in stone armor asked as he saw Qin Wentian returning.

“Never felt better in my life.” Qin Wentian shrugged and smiled.

“Where are Dongsheng Ting and that nephew of the Violet Emperor? Have you thrown them off your scent?” Someone in the surroundings asked.

“That treasure Dongsheng Ting was using was simply too powerful. Also, he had many other immortal weapons on him. Yunxi and I were being hunted down step-by-step and were in an extremely miserable state. Luckily, that mysterious masked expert is also an extraordinary individual who is proficient in the art of sealing, and was able to suppress Dongsheng Ting. That person must have wanted to seize the treasures on Dongsheng Ting, he sealed the entire space there and allowed us to leave. Most probably, it isn’t likely for Dongsheng Ting to have survived.” Qin Wentian spoke with no intentions of lowering his voice. It was like he wanted the subordinates of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Violet Emperor to hear what happened.

And as expected, their faces all changed. An expert from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect coldly spoke, “That spinning wheel is a special treasure given to Young Master Ting by his Majesty. How could it be suppressed so easily? What nonsense are you talking about.”

Qin Wentian cast a mocking gaze at that person. “I’m not even talking to you, why are you speaking out of turn? As for Dongsheng Ting, believe what you will. Since he has unparalleled talent and is invincible with that treasure, why don’t you all just wait quietly for him to return?”

That person stared at the mocking smile in Qin Wentian’s eyes as his countenance drastically changed. After which he spoke to his sect members, “Let’s go.”

As he spoke, he and his sect members launched an attack, borrowing the opportunity to lengthen the distance between them and Qin Wentian’s comrades. After which, they all retreated in one direction before completely departing this area. Qin Wentian has already returned, yet there are no signs of Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu. This matter felt extremely bizarre.

“Senior brother.” From afar, the silhouette of Jun Mengchen and Purgatory flew over along with the other experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan.

“Why did those people stop fighting?”

“Dongsheng Ting ran into trouble.” Qin Wentian laughed. That disciple from the Heavenly Talisman Realm who asked Qin Wentian if he could handle Dongsheng Ting earlier, cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian now but he didn’t say anything.

“Let us continue on our journey. Most probably, many people have already entered the extreme depths of this ancient mountain. Let us not waste any more time.” Someone spoke. Qin Wentian turned and gaze at the surroundings, he realized that those from the Jiang Clan were no longer here. Evidently, they went off searching for the location of the divine essence. That was their purpose of coming into the ancient mountain.

“Mhm, this ancient mountain seems boundlessly deep and is simply unfathomable. Everyone, it’s better to act more cautiously.” Qin Wentian spoke. Before this, he lured Dongsheng Ting through many places but he still felt that he had merely explored a corner of this ancient mountain. It wasn’t going to be so easy to be able to obtain the complete inheritance left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi!

Chapter 1070: The Servant of Ancient Emperor Yi

 

In the ancient mountain, the people within there proceeded deeper and deeper. The number of experts gathered at the God Hand Mountain Manor increased as well, all of them waiting for news within the ancient mountain. However, there seemed to be a separate dimension within the ancient mountain. No sound could escape from within there at all. Also, there would occasionally be people exiting, but it was those stellar martial cultivators who couldn’t even sense anything that returned with disappointment.

Many people were staring at Emperor Yu. Emperor Yu was still leisurely enjoying the immortal banquet in an extremely relaxed manner. Most probably, only he knew of the secrets of the ancient mountain.

“How deep does the space within the ancient mountain stretch out for exactly?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor asked Emperor Yu. His tone was filled with coldness. He was waiting, waiting for the mysterious masked young man to show himself. Once the masked man exited, he would kill him personally to avenge Dongsheng Ting. However, each second of waiting felt like an eternity. He wanted nothing more then to kill his way into the ancient mountain.

“You can’t enter, I can’t enter as well. How would I know?” Emperor Yu replied.

“Deliberately acting mysterious. You have been here and guarded this for so many years, how can you not know a little of the ancient mountain’s secrets? Do you know the real method to enter but you are deliberately hiding it from us?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor snarled.

“Eastern Sage!” Emperor Yu inclined his head as his hair fluttered in the wind. He then coldly spoke, “I’ve warned you all earlier that if any of your descendants enter the ancient mountain, the risk of dying would be there. But even so, you still insisted on sending your son in. This is a choice made by you alone. Now that he is dead, you’d better not try to vent your anger on me. I won’t stand for it.”

“Emperor Yu, stop your nonsense. I’m in fact suspecting the fact that you can control the ancient mountain. What secrets does it have exactly?” The eyes of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor flickered maliciously as he spoke. A terrifying aura gushed forth from him as a heavy pressure bore down on everyone present. The consequences were certainly dire once an immortal emperor was angered.

Emperor Yu stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. He then spoke a single word. “Scram!”

“RUMBLE~” As the sound of Emperor Yu’s voice faded, the terrifying aura gushing forth from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor transformed into a terrifying tempest. A divine glow covered his body, containing a supreme might. Stepping out, each and every one of his steps caused the hearts of the spectators to pound so intensely that it felt like their hearts would explode. While an extremely deep print was left behind on the ground following each of his steps.

The immortal emperors and immortal kings in the surroundings instantly exuded their own domains to protect their subordinates. For those with no background, they hurriedly retreated faraway. If immortal emperors were to fight each other here, the aftershocks from the impact of the attacks were more than sufficient to destroy them.

Because of Dongsheng Ting’s death, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was in a terrible mood now. His anger was like a volcano that could erupt at any instant. However, Emperor Yu was an ancient existence in the immortal realms and could be considered a senior of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. How could he not be angered when a junior spoke such words to him? Finally, he lost his temper and told the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to scram. An immortal emperor-ranked battle might erupt at any moment.

Emperor Yu sat there, his body was also covered with a resplendent divine glow. White layers of armor enveloped him as his white hair and beard fluttered in the wind. Although he was simply sitting there, the aura gushing forth from him was extremely terrifying. His gaze was as sharp as swords as he locked eyes with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. At this instant, this old man seemed unfathomably powerful, a far cry from his decrepit appearance earlier.

“The mysterious Emperor Yu of the immortal realms. I wonder how strong are you exactly.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor spoke as he continued stepping out. The ground trembled from the force of his steps, there seemed to be a unique rhythm that continued tremoring. The glow from the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor continued to flare even brighter as he punched out with his right fist, generating beams of light that tore through everything. The ground was completely eviscerated, breaking apart on two sides. It was simply terrifying to behold.

Emperor Yu’s palm shone with light as a terrifying might erupted forth from him. The immortal light radiating forth was extremely intense, like the blazing sun in the middle of the day. He stood up and pushed forth with his palm, the palm seemingly resembling the palm of gods.

“BOOM!” Emperor Yu soared up, instantly appearing high up in the sky. If they fought on the ground, an exchange of a single blow from the two of them would instantly level the God Hand Mountain Manor to flat ground.

“Rumble!” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor similarly soared up into the sky. His fist light opened up huge gaps through space as he faced Emperor Yu in midair.

“God’s Hand?”

Everyone could see the palm of Emperor Yu shining with a resplendent light. An instant later, an arrow manifested there, shimmering with a multi-colored glow as it locked onto the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.

Finally, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor acted. Punching out, this entire space trembled from the force of his might. The fist light generated enveloped everything as the spectators below watched in shock and awe. His fist then blasted out, intent on destroying everything.

At the same time, Emperor Yu’s arrow shot out. The instant it shot out, a gigantic pair of demonic wings manifested, blotting out the sun. The endless rays of fist light slammed into the demonic wings as the sound of a colossal explosion thundered out. The punch from Eastern Sage failed to destroy the wings, as the arrow from Emperor Yu continued shooting towards him with an unbelievable amount of speed and force.

Everyone only saw the silhouette of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor retreating with explosive speed, vanishing from his original location to some place extremely far away. He punched out again and his fist imprint expanded to the size of a celestial object, capable of easily destroying an entire city. The people below stared dumbfoundedly as their hearts trembled when they saw how powerful immortal emperors are.

A beam of light arced through the skies, splitting the gigantic fist imprint into two. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor retreated explosively again as he stabbed out with a finger strike. Before his finger, that terrifying arrow finally grinded to a halt but even so, the destructive energies within flowed right into his body, ravaging it from the inside out. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had an extremely ugly expression on his face as he stared at the white-haired old man that was Emperor Yu. At this moment, Emperor Yu was exuding an air of tyranny and imposingness. He didn’t seem like a decrepit old man ready for the grave at all.

“Eastern Sage, you best be a little more respectful before me. If you dare to show any disrespect again, scram the fuck out of my God Hand Mountain Manor.” The old man faintly spoke, yet his voice thundered through the skies. After which, he floated down and returned to the banquet table he was sitting at earlier. His domineering aura dissipated as he transformed into a kind-looking old man once again. Leisurely lifting his cup of wine, it seemed like nothing has ever happened. It was basically impossible to imagine that this old man had such power in him.

The Violet Emperor, as well as the immortal emperors from the Ying and Jiang Clan, were all shocked badly. This low-profile and mysterious Emperor Yu wasn’t weak at all. On the contrary, he was strong but he truly wants to live the life of a hermit, living within the shadows and not caring about matters of the immortal realms. There was actually no one who knew that he was this powerful. Right now, all of them were silently speculating as to what level his cultivation base has reached.

Emperor Yu… Could it be that he has already stepped into the peak-tier level of immortal emperors?

Nanfeng Guhong’s beautiful eyes flashed with a brilliant light but she didn’t seem too surprised by how strong Emperor Yu was.

The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor floated down with an incredibly unsightly expression on his face. Today, his son Dongsheng Ting died within the mountain and his attacks were all broken through by a single arrow from Emperor Yu. He felt a great deal of shame.

“Courting your own humiliation.” The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed. He was Eastern Sage’s enemy and naturally wouldn’t forget to stomp Eastern Sage’s face when he is down.

“Emperor Yu has truly hidden deep enough.” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor icily spoke, his tone filled with a hidden anger. But he no longer spoke any words of disrespect. Emperor Yu used true strength to show why he was someone deserving of respect. In any case, if it wasn’t for the mysterious masked young man, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would have already left this place.

This battle that erupted in such a short instant made everyone at the manor sigh in admiration. There were hidden dragons everywhere in the immortal realms where experts were as common as the clouds. One must never think that those low-profile immortal emperors were weak. This Emperor Yu merely used a single arrow to hold back the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. His strength clearly surpassed the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor by a lot. Also, there were most probably plenty of immortal emperors in the vast immortal realms who were as powerful but had chosen to live in seclusion.

That battle only had the exchange of a single move but the commotion caused was extremely great. Everyone in a radius of several thousand miles had seen the battle but those in the ancient mountain had no idea what just happened at all.

Right now, Qin Wentian and the others have already traversed the interior of the ancient mountain for several days. After some time of speeding up, they slowed down again because there would be attacks formed from the divine essence, launched at them. These strange attacks were able to directly brand themselves into the minds of the people, the force of the impact causing their bodies to tremble. Also, the further they proceeded, the stronger these attacks grew.

“What sort of character was Ancient Emperor Yi exactly?” Nanfeng Shengge sighed in a low voice. Being able to use the divine essence to block even immortal emperors from entering. What terrifying strength was this.

“I know of some information. You can very well imagine how powerful Ancient Emperor Yi was.” Nanfeng Yunxi smiled.

“What info?” Nanfeng Shengge curiously asked. Qin Wentian also turned his attention onto Nanfeng Yunxi.

“Emperor Yu, before he became an immortal emperor, he was extremely mysterious and low profile to the point where nobody knew his name. Because before this, he had never roamed the immortal realms and didn’t have a name. It is said that he was a servant of Ancient Emperor Yi.” Nanfeng Yunxi spoke, her words causing the eyes of Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Shengge and the rest to flash with astonishment. The powerful immortal emperor, Emperor Yu, was nothing but a servant of Ancient Emperor Yi?

“No wonder he is guarding the inheritance for Ancient Emperor Yi.” Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a light voice. Qin Wentian also believed that Nanfeng Yunxi’s words are true. This should be something the Phoenix Ancestor told her. The Phoenix Ancestor is a super saint beast that has been alive for a countless number of years.

“What is that?” At this moment, Jun Mengchen was staring at the distance. There were five ancient peaks there, so tall that they towered up into the heavens.

“Five fingers, these five ancient peaks seem to be the five fingers of a palm.” Qin Wentian’s gaze flickered. God’s Hand, five fingers. Could it be that the energy of the divine essence originated from there?

There’s not merely five fingers there. Was there the hollow of a palm below the five fingers?

“We will know once we go there and take a look.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled. The group of people proceeded forward, but their speed of advancement grew slower and slower. A whistling sound rang out and Qin Wentian only saw a palm imprint formed from divine essence smashing into him, the impact causing his entire body to shudder. At this moment, everyone was releasing immortal might as they strove to proceed forward. However, despite their best efforts, the number of people advancing continued to dwindle.

Finally, they made it through and could see the five huge ancient peaks that represented the five fingers. But right now, the formless energy manifested even more attacks and blasted them.

“Careful.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Every step they took could only be done so through immense difficulty. The strength of the formless attacks formed by the divine essence was continually growing in power.

Chapter 1071: Emperor Yi’s Old Residence

 

And as expected as Qin Wentian and his comrades proceeded closer, there was something that resembled the hollow of a palm beneath the five ancient peaks. All these made up a terrifying gigantic palm in its entirety, and exuded a power so strong that it felt like they wanted to shatter the heavens. The instant Qin Wentian laid his eyes on this, numerous formless diagrams suddenly erupted forth from his body in the shape of domineering palm imprints.

“BOOM!” Qin Wentian radiated terrifying immortal might. His energy gushed forth frenziedly as a humming sound could be heard within. The formless attacks blasted into him repeatedly causing him to groan in agony as he was forced to take a step back. Other than him, everyone else was being attacked. There were even some who coughed out blood as their immortal foundations trembled so violently that it felt they would shatter.

“They are already here.” Ahead at the gigantic palm, experts from the Jiang Clan and Ying Clan as well as from the other powers of the immortal realms, have already arrived. They were seated in the surroundings, trying to gain insights and comprehend the divine essence.

“Mhm, this mystery should be comprehensible. Everyone it’s best to be more cautious and try to get used to the attacks.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He took a deep breath and prepared himself before taking another step outwards. At the instant his foot landed, the formless attacks gushed over. Qin Wentian’s body emitted a scintillating light as his immortal might gushed forth in a frenzy.

“BOOM!” Stomping heavily on the ground, Qin Wentian’s body was simply a perfect physique, akin to the body of fiendgods. He allowed the attacks formed of the divine essence to blast at him as they willed, steadily walking step-by-step forward. The reaction of his body grew more intense to the point where he felt as though his body was about to fall into pieces as his inner organs and meridians shuddered violently.

Behind him, Nanfeng Yunxi and the rest followed after. They also could only take a step forward through enduring immense difficulty.

Jiang Ziyu’s gaze turned to Qin Wentian as a smile flickered in his eyes. As expected, Qin Wentian didn’t die, and although he didn’t know for sure what happened to Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu, they probably were now in dire straits.

Ying Teng frowned as he regarded these people. He then saw Qin Wentian walking towards a huge rock at the side before sitting there cross-legged as the immortal might from his immortal foundation flowed endlessly. Not only for Qin Wentian, for those that endured the attacks, their bodies were circulating immortal light as a transformation occured within.

“Where is Emperor Yi’s secret exactly? The divine essence here is getting weaker and weaker.” Ying Teng stared ahead as he sighed. He had also arrived here and saw the gigantic palm and five ancient peaks. This seemed to be a place where divinities resided, yet he still had no idea on how to decipher the secret of God’s Hand.

Qin Wentian continued sitting there as the divine essence blasted into him. His body shuddered violently, feeling as though it was about to break apart. Behind him, some people could no longer endure such a terrifying pressure and had no choice but to voluntarily retreat, leaving this place. They felt that if they continued staying here a moment longer, their bodies would explode as they died.

If one wanted to cultivate a powerful secret art, one’s body must have a physique strong enough to support it. When stepping into the immortal foundation realm, everyone had an opportunity to establish the grade of their immortal foundation as well as to cleanse the impurities from their body.

Qin Wentian’s reaction grew stronger and stronger, the sounds of ocean waves slapping upon mountains rang out unceasingly. An entire world seemed to have formed via boundless immortal energy, within his immortal foundation.

His eyes were tightly closed, yet he felt that his eyes were opened instead. At the ‘walls’ of the giant palm, divine runes radiating the energy of the divine essence that drifted over endlessly, as though wanting to destroy his body.

Many days later, many departed from this place but they didn’t give up completely. They would attempt again and again and after numerous failures, some of them finally succeeded yet they had no way to comprehend God’s Hand.

The secret art of an Ancient Emperor was simply too difficult to cultivate.

“I suspect that Emperor Yu has been lying to us since the start. The form he showed us simply wasn’t the complete God’s Hand. Even though we endured the baptism by the divine essence, it is still useless.” At this moment, someone spoke, suspecting the motives of Emperor Yu. Many people furrowed their brows, the God’s Hand Emperor Yu showed to everyone earlier seemed to be the complete one. Maybe, their comprehension abilities weren’t enough for them to gain any insights.

“You guys not being able to comprehend this doesn’t mean that Emperor Yu is lying.” Jiang Ziyu faintly spoke. His words caused many to look at him. Ying Teng spoke, “What do you mean? Jiang Ziyu, can you comprehend this?”

Jiang Ziyu simply laughed and didn’t reply. He glanced at Qin Wentian, right now in this place, only Qin Wentian had cultivated God’s Hand before. Qin Wentian should have the highest probability of comprehending some insights. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Jiang Ziyu believed that Emperor Yu didn’t lie. Since he was the protector of the secret art, now that someone who cultivated a rudimentary form of God’s Hand before has arrived here, there was no need for Emperor Yu to stop that person from obtaining the complete version of God’s Hand. This wasn’t something the protector of a secret art would do.

As the divine essence attacks continued to blast into him, Qin Wentian’s comprehension actually deepened. The immortal energy within him circulated automatically, morphing into countless complicated runic diagrams as more transformations occurred. In his perception, the gigantic palm ahead was no longer dimmed but was shining with resplendent light instead. He could sense the true divine essence of the God’s Hand there, as a faint-silhouette diagram shimmered blurrily. He could not see what that was exactly, and could only sense how profound and unfathomable it was.

Qin Wentian gradually sensed that these five fingers peak exuded an extremely strong illusory nature. Maybe, that gigantic palm was something that casted an illusion over everyone here. Qin Wentian tried unceasingly to comprehend that blurry diagram which he sensed. More and more attacks blasted into him and the him at this moment had already forgotten why he was here. He existed in this ethereal state that seemingly had no flow of time.

Soon, over thirty days passed. Qin Wentian was still deep in concentration, unable to extricate himself.

Beside Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Yunxi, Jun Mengchen and the others all opened their eyes. The divine essence here gradually grew weaker. This, was actually similar to the scene encountered by Xiao Lengyue back then when in the City of Ancient Emperors.

“Should we go to some other places to take a look?” At this moment, Ying Teng stood up and spoke. The divine essence around the gigantic palm shimmered in and out of existence. The God’s Hand they tried to learn earlier before they entered the ancient mountain, had no way to circulate the force. It was basically useless for them to be here.

“He seems to be still comprehending.” At this moment, somebody stared at Qin Wentian and commented.

“Deliberately acting mysterious.” Ying Teng’s prideful eyes flashed with suspicion. There were many geniuses here. He was a descendant of the Ying Clan and there was also characters like Jiang Ziyu as well as experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan. With so many supreme geniuses in here, how could it be that only Qin Wentian had comprehended some insights.

The Qin Wentian at this moment completely had no idea about what Ying Teng was thinking. He was fully immersed in comprehending. That blurry diagram gradually grew clearer and it was actually a human diagram. This human diagram gave Qin Wentian a feeling as vast as the starry space. It included the myriad of living creatures in this entire world and was situated right in the center of the universe. Qin Wentian imagined himself to be in that position and at that very instant, it felt like the heavens and earth within the world formed in his immortal foundation had split apart as terrifying transformations occurred.

“The true God’s Hand isn’t a palm art at all. It’s a supreme attribute energy that could incorporate all the energies present in the myriad of creatures. It was able to explosively ignite a stellar martial cultivator’s strength to the strongest state, unleashing torrential might through the palms.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Regardless of palm arts, spear arts of halberd arts, everything could be incorporated into God’s Hand.

He thought of the scene the Phoenix Ancestor showed him. With a single palm strike, Ancient Emperor Yi wiped out a countless number of overwhelmingly powerful experts as well as an entire world. His palm was even able to traverse the void. It was a spatial-type innate technique that was unleashed by God’s Hand, further augmenting its origin might.

“God’s Hand is a secret art that encompasses the myriad of laws. It’s a truly ultimate technique.” Qin Wentian mused silently. Emperor Yu allowed everyone to comprehend God’s Hand but Qin Wentian faintly sensed that Emperor Yu did so for him. He felt like this ancient mountain was prepared especially for him alone because although he had comprehended the basics of God’s Hand, without this step, he would never be able to elevate his insights about God’s Hand to the next level.

Qin Wentian could feel how profound this secret art was. Boundless transformations occurred within his body as the immortal light radiating from him grew brighter and brighter. His aura also began to exude a pressure that exceeds the level of his cultivation. This caused many to turn their gazes over toward him, feeling shock and astonishment.

“What’s going on?” The eyes of everyone flickered. Ying Teng’s countenance was extremely unsightly to behold.

“Among us, only he alone had cultivated God’s Hand before. The chances of his success is naturally the greatest among us.” Jiang Ziyu stood up and spoke. He stared at Qin Wentian as his eyes gleamed. He must definitely bring Qin Wentian to the Jiang Clan.

Many people crowded over only to see Nanfeng Yunxi and Jun Mengchen guarding Qin Wentian, staring at everyone else warily.

“RUMBLE!” At this moment, the ancient mountain trembled. The gigantic palm ahead shuddered violently, causing everyone to stare at it in shock. The humming noise continued and at this instant, the hollow of the palm actually started to crack. Boundless light shone from within and with a thunderous boom, the entire palm shattered apart. This caused all the experts to raise their hands in defense and after some time when all the light dissipated, everyone shifted their hands away, feeling their hearts trembling as they stared right ahead.

In the ancient mountain, there was actually another space.

Also, in here, it was no longer the earlier dimension that was the stretch of desolate plains and ancient peaks. This was a place that seemed to have traces of people residing here before.

“Was this left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi?” The notion flashed through everyone’s mind as their hearts pounded. Was this the residence where Ancient Emperor Yi stayed in those years ago?

What did he leave behind in here exactly?

Qin Wentian’s eyes suddenly opened. He similarly saw the same scene as everyone and at this moment, he stood up, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

“What’s going on?” Nanfeng Yunxi asked.

“I don’t really know either.” Qin Wentian shook his head. He felt that he had already comprehended the mysteries of the God’s Hand. That was the reason why the gigantic palm suddenly shattered as this new dimension appeared.

The silhouettes of the experts here all flickered as they dashed forward. If Ancient Emperor Yi had truly stayed here before in the past, this undoubtedly must be a grand treasure trove!

Chapter 1072: Ancient Emperor Palace

 

Everyone stepped through the entrance that appeared after the gigantic palm shattered. Their steps slowed, this space was very large and their sensitive senses could feel a huge pressure enveloping all of them. The pressure was overwhelming, it felt as though as long as it erupted forth completely, all of them would die here.

There was a unique rhythm in the air, akin to that of someone breathing in and out. In the space of a breath, they felt their hearts pounding as the blood in their bodies circulated frenziedly out of their control.

This space seemed extremely ancient, and was very desolate like it has been sealed away for countless years. They continued down the ancient path and the sense of danger they felt continued to deepen.

“That mountain.” Someone stared at a stone mountain ahead. This mountain was in a unique shape, resembling a demonic beast. It obstructed their path and exuded a fearsome aura.

Their steps gradually halted, staring ahead. That feeling of danger grew more and more intense. Breathing in and breathing out…their hearts pounded rapidly.

At this moment, more stones rolled off the stone mountain. The entire mountain seemed to be moving. All of a sudden, a terrible might gushed forth as the stones continued rolling down. At the head of the mountain, a face vaguely resembling a human could be seen, exuding a fearsome balefulness that seemed a cross between a demon and a human. The fangs in its mouth breathed in and out, creating a demonic gale that blew on everyone’s bodies, causing everyone to break out in chills.

The head belonged to an incomparably gigantic demon. It was roughly around the size of a small mountain. The rhythm of its breath caused the hearts of all of them to pound. It felt that with just a breath, this demon was able to kill all of them here. Nobody dared to wake it up. Everyone proceeded carefully and even slowed their breathing. They didn’t want to alert this terrifying demonic beast that was currently in a slumber.

Everyone stared ahead, feeling fear in their hearts. This demon was too large. It was like a mountain obstructing their path. It seemed like a demonic protector for this place.

“What should we do?” Everyone transmitted their voices silently to each other. Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. Since they’ve came all the way here, it was impossible for him to give up now. Also, since this place was left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi and he was the one that managed to shatter the gigantic palm outside, revealing this space, he didn’t believe that Ancient Emperor Yi would go through so much trouble to kill a potential successor.

As he thought of this, Qin Wentian lifted his foot and continued. The eyes of everyone flashed as they looked at Qin Wentian. Since there was someone in the lead, they didn’t mind cautiously following after. When they arrived below the greater demon, the pressure they felt was so great that they found it even hard to breathe. Despite the greater demon being asleep, it radiated a fearsome pressure. Every breath it took caused their hearts to tremble and the pressure was getting more and more intense.

There were some who could no longer even walk, not daring to advance any further. Staring at the malevolent countenance, their legs shook, growing soft as they couldn’t breathe.

“Swish~” A terrifying breath of hotness flared from the greater demon’s nostrils.

“Pu.” A person was overly nervous as his foot step made a loud sound on the ground. This caused everyone’s hearts to tremble as they hurriedly halted and glanced at the greater demon. Only when they ascertained that there was no reaction from the greater demon did they heave a sigh of relief.

Right now, Qin Wentian already arrived beneath the head of the greater demon. A rumbling sound rang out as the stones on the stone mountain above rolled downwards. In the span of a single breath, the stifling pressure grew stronger as a pair of gigantic eyes snapped open, gleaming with a terrifying light. The greater demon surveyed the people before it. Everyone was stunned into stillness, staring right into the huge saucer-like eyes. All of their numbers added together was roughly about the size of one of the greater demon’s eyes.

Qin Wentian also started for a moment as he stared at the cold emotionless eyes. The rumbling sound continued. The body of the greater demon roused shaking the stones away from it. This demon had a human face which exuded a demonic balefulness and was truly a greater demon from the ancient times. It was a greater desolate demon, Tao Wu.

“Us juniors must have disturbed the rest of senior. We hope that senior can forgive us.” Ying Teng from the Ying Clan reacted fast, bowing low to the greater demon.

The Tao Wu continued staring at everyone. Several people were soaked in their sweat. They felt as long as this greater demon wanted to, their lives would end with a single swipe from its claws.

“Why are there so many?” A thunderous voice rumbled. The sound was like a lightning bolt blasting into the ear drums of the crowd, jolting them so badly that their inner organs trembled.

“We knew that Ancient Emperor Yi left his inheritance here. Hence, we paid a visit to Emperor Yu and he allowed us to seek our good fortune in the ancient mountain. After that, we managed to enter this space.” Ying Teng replied. He didn’t say that the reason they could enter this space was because of Qin Wentian.

“Go on in then.” That greater demon spoke in a terrifying tone. After that, it lied on the ground once more as it continued to slumber, ignoring all of them. This made everyone heave a sigh of relief.

Qin Wentian and his comrades continued walking forward. An ancient aura could be felt in this place. Indeed, this did seem to be a residence where humans lived in. They halted their steps and gazed upon the majestic immortal palace before them.

For powerful experts in the immortal realms, once they reached a certain level, they naturally possessed the qualifications to enjoy life. They wouldn’t let themselves live too frugally and would usually have their own immortal palace where they and their descendants or other clan members could reside in.

Was the ancient palace before them the place where Ancient Emperor Yi stayed those years ago?

They walked up the stairs in the center, ascending upwards into the immortal palace with a heart filled with reverence for Ancient Emperor Yi. How good would it be to become the master of this immortal palace? Were all the treasures left by Ancient Emperor Yi hidden in the palace?

However, everyone was swiftly disappointed. The immortal palace was completely empty. Although the palace was constructed from valuable materials, they had no way to take any of them away. Also, with a powerful ancient greater demon stationed just outside, who would dare to try anything funny?

They continued walking into the depths of the immortal palace and after a period of time, a terrifying aura could be felt ahead. They halted as a shocking scene appeared in front of their eyes.

Up ahead, there was actually a picture of a golden body. This golden body seemed to be ethereal and was extremely gigantic, towering up into the sky. It exuded an aura of divinity, gushing forth with energy of the divine essence. Everyone felt fear when they glanced at it

Also behind this golden body picture, a number of bronze gigantic gates could be seen. Each gate was incomparably enormous and seemed to have existed since the dawn of time. What was behind these bronze gates exactly? Was it treasure left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi?

What made everyone despair was that before each gate, a greater demon could be seen guarding it. These greater demons from ancient times were all in a deep slumber, it was clear that they have been here for too many years.

The heartbeats of everyone quickened. Could it be that Ancient Emperor Yi not only left his inheritance here, he also left his treasures to his successor?

In that case, the thing Emperor Yu was protecting, wasn’t simply the secret art God’s Hand but was everything left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi.

Ancient Emperor Yi had once dominated the entire immortal realms, he was the true king of this place. How terrifying would his treasures be? It was simply beyond imagination.

At this moment, many people in fact has already forgotten about God’s Hand. Their eyes were on the bronze gates and the treasures of Ancient Emperor Yi. Compared to some obscure secret art, getting the treasures seemed much easier.

Many people sped over, rushing past the golden gigantic figure, arriving before the enormous gates.

“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” The greater demons outside the three bronze enormous gates opened their eyes as a stifling pressure instantly bore down on everyone, almost forcing them to their knees. They inclined their heads with difficulty as they shouted, “We are juniors of the later generations that came in here with the approval of Emperor Yu. Seniors, please show us mercy.”

The pressure weakened. Everyone climbed up only to see these greater demons closing their eyes again, no longer bothering with them. They walked towards the bronze gates and wanted to use strength to force the gates open. However, they discovered that they couldn’t move the gates at all.

Qin Wentian wasn’t with the crowd. He was walking towards the golden figure picture. Immortal energy in his foundation circulated as he stepped out and as he neared, a supreme might from the primordial era blasted right into his body. His bones emitted cracking sounds and with a groan of misery, he coughed out blood as his countenance paled.

“This is the true complete version of God’s Hand.” Qin Wentian stared at the golden figure in the picture. With just a glance, he could sense what he said was true. That ethereal golden body was like a corporeal existence. The might gushing forth from it was something from the primordial era, terrifying to the extreme.

Qin Wentian walked step-by-step closer and closer as the energy in his body circulated wildly. His saint-grade immortal foundation unleashed the maximum power it could unleash, withstanding the impact of the runic energy that flowed from the golden figure picture into him. Each mote of energy felt as deadly as the might from the god of death.

“This!” Nanfeng Yunxi’s eyes flashed with a strange light when she stared at Qin Wentian’s movement.

“Seems like he’s truly about to master the secret art. Only he stands a chance to cultivate the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled. Emperor Yu was here all this while protecting this inheritance while waiting for a fated successor?

“Not so simple, he seems to be under great pressure.” Nanfeng Yunxi was a little worried.

“It naturally wouldn’t be so easy to cultivate God’s Hand.” Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a low voice. Purgatory and Jun Mengchen were looking at Qin Wentian as well.

At this moment, Jiang Ziyu stepped out. His eyes gleamed with a fearsome light, wanting to see through everything, deciphering the golden figure picture. Slowly moving forward, the energy within his body circulated frenziedly as a powerful might gushed forth from him. This caused Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge to freeze. This fellow was actually so powerful.

“BOOM!” A fearsome energy erupted. Jiang Ziyu coughed out blood as he was flung through the air from the impact. The countenances of the experts from the Jiang Clan drastically changed as they sped over in the direction where he flew.

“What a fearsome power.” Jun Mengchen stared in that direction. If Qin Wentian just lost control for even a second, he would also be in extreme danger!

Chapter 1073: Ying Teng’s Intentions

 

After Jiang Ziyu recovered, he walked over again. When he stared at the golden figure picture once again, his eyes flickered with an intense trepidation.

A staggering amount of divine essence was contained within, terrifying to the extreme.

Qin Wentian was still in his position. He felt his perception sinking within. From the golden figure in the picture, he saw a true, corporeal human body beyond it, radiating the essence of divinity. The myriad of laws fully existed within, each and every one of them capable of unleashing a power capable of destroying him. His body shuddered under the pressure as he fought to steady himself.

The other experts rushed the three enormous bronze gates, using all sorts of methods in an attempt to open them. However, they discovered that it was useless no matter what they did. They also realized that there was a palm imprinted above each of the gates. The palm imprint contained countless complex runic diagrams that were incomparably mysterious. They had no way to see through the profound secrets hidden within.

“Could it be that only after one has comprehended Ancient Emperor Yi’s secret art, God’s Hand, would that person be able to open these gates, obtaining the treasures within?” Ying Teng stated, his words causing the eyes of many to flicker as they glanced at Qin Wentian. Seems like this golden picture contained the mysteries of the divine essence. If Qin Wentian could comprehend it, it was possible that he can master God’s Hand and open these treasury gates.

Ying Teng and his subordinates stared at the golden figure picture as they walked forward. But most of these people were blasted back by the resistance force after they took a few steps.

“ARGH!” A scream of misery rang out. There was one person who continued persisting despite not being able to endure. His body actually exploded as his immortal foundation was destroyed. He fell to the ground, his face akin to dead ashes as screams of pain rocked the air. This scene filled the hearts of many with fear. When they turned to the golden-colored picture again, their hearts were filled with misgiving and trepidation.

And right now, more experts came into this space. Because earlier after Qin Wentian broke apart the gigantic palm, he didn’t set any obstruction there to stop people from entering. When these newcomers saw the greater demon, they were also similarly shocked. They didn’t expect that Ancient Emperor Yi had an immortal palace here hidden in the very depths of the ancient mountain.

No wonder Emperor Yu, an immortal emperor would guard this place for so many years.

Ying Teng similarly failed when he attempted it. He retreated after being injured and there was destructive force ravaging his body, targeting his immortal foundation. This made him feel fear in his heart. He now understood that without an earlier foundation from comprehending the rudimentary version of God’s Hand, it was impossible for him to get close to the golden figure. He wasn’t able to comprehend anything, only one man had the opportunity and that man was Qin Wentian. From the instant he broke open the gigantic palm and allowed everyone to gain access to this place, this was already fated. Only Qin Wentian had a chance.

All the experts gradually realized this. The inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi was not fated to be theirs, they were all destined to be a background for Qin Wentian to shine with greater brilliance.

“Why is this so?” A descendant of an immortal emperor asked, feeling reluctance in his heart.

“Because he had cultivated God’s Hand before. Most probably, Emperor Yu opened up this ancient mountain for the sake of him alone.” Kong Ye coldly spoke, he was also feeling extremely reluctant and was unwilling to accept this.

“If in the past I encountered the God’s Hand in the City of Ancient Emperors, I could also comprehend and cultivate it. Sadly, the timing wasn’t right.” Ying Teng’s eyes gleamed with sharpness, staring at Qin Wentian as he spoke. “Without the prior lucky chance of having comprehended the rudimentary form of God’s Hand before, he wouldn’t have any advantage over us.”

“Excuses.” Jun Mengchen felt extremely unhappy when he heard these people grumbling about Qin Wentian. He then spoke, “You guys should have been to the City of Ancient Emperors before. The underground palace where Ancient Emperor Yi left his inheritance, wasn’t something discovered by my senior brother. It was there all along but no one could manage to enter. With so many people who had been to the City of Ancient Emperors in the past, none have succeeded and yet now, all of you are here talking about things such as timing and luck? How ridiculous.”

“When I was in the City of Ancient Emperors, the underground palace of Ancient Emperor Yi hadn’t been discovered yet.” Ying Teng coldly replied.

“Hmph, do you mean that we must tell you that there is the underground palace of Ancient Emperor Yi and instruct you on the method of getting in, gifting the rudimentary form of God’s Hand to you before you would be able to obtain it?” Jun Mengchen shot back. “Given how vast the immortal realms are, inheritances and hidden treasures are everywhere yet only a minority were able to obtain them. Many of those who did would eventually became experts and as for the vast majority who didn’t obtain them, wouldn’t they only know how to blame the good luck and fortune of others?”

“Who do you think you are? How dare you speak to me in this manner?” Ying Teng stepped forward as the ground trembled. A king’s aura gushed forth from him, sweeping over towards Jun Mengchen. The power within the aura was so great that Jun Mengchen’s body involuntarily shuddered.

“And who the hell you think you are?” Jun Mengchen always had a fiery temper. Ying Teng was also extremely proud. Now that the two of them are clashing, sparks instantly ignited.

“Ying Teng, what are you doing?” Nanfeng Yunxi stepped out, the phoenix flames around her body began to burn, exuding a fearsome immortal might.

“Nanfeng Yunxi, others might fear you but my Ying Clan does not. You best not interfere in things that are not your business.” Ying Teng spoke in cold arrogance, exuding an air of haughtiness.

“Then do you think that my Southern Phoenix Clan would fear your Ying Clan?” Nanfeng Yunxi replied

Ying Teng coldly laughed. He stared at Nanfeng Yunxi and spoke, “Everyone, let’s fight against the Southern Phoenix Clan’s experts. It’s fine if you don’t dare to injure them. We of the Ying Clan will do the injuring and just so coincidentally, I feel like capturing the Holy Successor of the Southern Phoenix Clan to serve as my maid. Having such a pretty maid to warm my bed at night daily seems pretty excellent as well.”

The eyes of everyone flickered, this fellow from the Ying Clan is truly gutsy. The faces of everyone from the Southern Phoenix Clan were ice-cold as battle intent radiated from them.

“After we settle the Southern Phoenix Clan, we will wait for that fellow to finish cultivating God’s Hand and have him to open the bronze gates for us. We wouldn’t have made a wasted trip here then.” Ying Teng continued. Everyone instantly understood his plans. This was the real purpose of Ying Teng.

Ying Teng was clearly unhappy that all of them came in for nothing but to accompany Qin Wentian in cultivating God’s Hand. But it didn’t matter to him, so what if Qin Wentian succeeded? After dealing with the Southern Phoenix Clan, Qin Wentian would no longer have a powerful backer. He would then have no choice but to obey them.

As for Ying Teng’s words of capturing the Holy Successor Nanfeng Yunxi to serve him as a maid and a bed warmer, he was merely speaking arrogantly. In reality, he wouldn’t dare to do such a thing that might spark a war among their respective clans.

“As long as you people from the Southern Phoenix Clan don’t interfere, we won’t act against the holy Successor.” At this moment, a voice rang out. Evidently, the other powers didn’t wish to offend the Southern Phoenix Clan. They didn’t dare to take the initiative and said that they would join forces against them.

“Haha, don’t worry. If the people from the Southern Phoenix Clan interferes, my Ying Clan will be responsible for dealing with them. You guys only need to deal with that fellow. By the way, is the Jiang Clan interested to join in?” Ying Teng stared at Jiang Ziyu as he laughed. Jiang Ziyu simply smiled at Ying Teng but he didn’t say anything.

“It’s fine if the Jiang Clan doesn’t have the guts.” Ying Teng flicked his sleeves as he spoke arrogantly. The Ying Clan and Southern Phoenix Clan experts were already in position, staring daggers at each other.

Qin Wentian completely had no idea what was happening outside. He moved closer and closer to the golden figure picture. Right now, he was completely focused on the corporeal body within the picture. It was actually guiding the transformations occurring within his own body. But even so, his body narrowly escaped being destroyed, it had no way to withstand this force and just at that very moment where Qin Wentian felt he couldn’t carry on, the white candle-like flame of his second bloodline circulated frenziedly, healing his body. With each complete circulation, his body would have completed one degree of the transformations growing closer and closer to the body in terms of quality shown in the picture.

With the fiendgod body refinement art, his physique was originally already extremely tyrannical. Ordinary first-level immortal-foundation experts would be defeated with a single punch from him. Even if he stood there and allowed them to freely attack, they wouldn’t be able to breach his defense. He had a perfect saint-grade immortal foundation plus a nearly perfect physique. But even so, comprehending the insights of the complete version of God’s Hand seemed to be able to grant him another opportunity to cleanse the impurities within his body, and further strengthen his physique.

If he was successful in this baptism. Most probably despite the vastness of the immortal realms, it would be exceptionally rare to find someone at the same realm whose body is as tough as his.

However, this baptism wasn’t an easy one. Qin Wentian’s advancement speed grew extremely slow, he had to be very cautious at this step or his body would truly shatter. He knew that if the divine essence erupted with full force, even immortal emperors wouldn’t be able to withstand it. Right now he suddenly had a strange feeling. The divine essence permeating the interior of this space, the ancient mountain, and the atmosphere of the God Hand Mountain Manor, all seemed to have originated from the golden figure in the picture. Also, there seemed to be different grades of divine essence present here. If immortal kings or emperors were able to gain access to the ancient mountain, they would be able to come into contact with that higher-grade divine essence.

Since the people within the ancient mountain could reach this point, their cultivation bases were considered the weaker ones in perspective of immortal kings and emperors. The resistance by the divine essence they faced, wouldn’t be too powerful as well. However, Qin Wentian believed that for truly powerful characters, even if they were immortal kings or emperors, they could still use the principles they understood from the God’s Hand which Emperor Yu had shown, to negate the force and comprehend the divine essence. By accomplishing that, they would then be able to gain access into the mountain. Sadly, none of the immortal kings or emperors present were able to do so.

The situation in the external world was still the same. Qin Wentian remained fully focused in his cultivation and in fact, it was extremely tough for people who wanted to get near to where Qin Wentian was. Behind them, the forces of the Violet Emperor and Eastern Sage Immortal Sect also arrived. Their eyes gleamed with killing intent as they stared at the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Their killing intent intensified further when they glanced at Qin Wentian.

Dead. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu were had both fallen. They saw the blood stains and torn robes of the two young masters but they couldn’t find any corpses. In fact, they even saw the mysterious young man with the bronze mask but when they attempted to pursue him, he used a strange sealing treasure and had successfully fled away.

Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu’s deaths were simply a nightmare to them. The moment they exited this place, they had to face the anger of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor. All this happened because of Qin Wentian, the Southern Phoenix Clan and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. If it weren’t for these people, Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu wouldn’t have died.

“You all want to kill him?” Ying Teng pointed at Qin Wentian and asked.

“Yes.” Everyone nodded.

“I will give you all a chance. But before he opens the treasury gates, nobody can take his life. He has to be kept alive.” Ying Teng coldly spoke. He didn’t treat Qin Wentian as the inheritor of the secret art but rather, as a key to open the treasury gates. So what if Qin Wentian comprehended the secret art? Wasn’t Qin Wentian being used by him now as well?

Chapter 1074: Enormous Bronze Gate

 

At the God Hand Mountain Manor, the people there were still waiting. As experts in the immortal realms who had been cultivating for many years, they naturally had the patience to wait. Although a number of months have passed, they weren’t in a hurry or impatient at all.

In addition, the Jiang Clan, Ying Clan and Southern Phoenix Clan didn’t have too much of a reaction. This indicated that their scions were still exploring the depths of the ancient mountain and hadn’t died yet.

They grew more and more curious. What secrets did the ancient mountain have exactly. Can Emperor Yu himself really not enter the ancient mountain?

Emperor Yu was the protector of this inheritance. How could he be unable to enter?

Although they were suspicious of this fact, after they witnessed the battle between Emperor Yu and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, nobody dared to show any more disrespect to Emperor Yu. Strength demands respect, and at this location, other than the Violet Emperor being a peak-level immortal emperor, the other immortal emperors weren’t at that level yet. Compared to Emperor Yu, they knew they would lose if a fight broke out for sure.

Although the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was quiet now, the killing intent in his heart didn’t diminish in the slightest. He was filled with more hatred than the Violet Emperor. The Violet Emperor only suffered the death of a nephew but he suffered the death of his youngest son. Dongsheng Ting was fathered by him through a beloved concubine. Because his other children were born long ago and were all already extremely powerful, he doted exceptionally on Dongsheng Ting. But now, Dongsheng Ting died in the ancient mountain. How could the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor not be enraged?

“Emperor Yu I wished to consult you on a matter. In the ancient mountain, it wouldn’t be that only those who cultivated God’s Hand before would have a chance to obtain the complete inheritance, right?” The immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan asked. “If not, why would it be that immortal-foundation experts are the most suitable to enter?”

“You are thinking too much. Although Emperor Yi left behind a part of his inheritance in the City of Ancient Emperors, I have no idea when it would appear. And tell me this, if that fellow who comprehended the rudimentary form of God’s Hand came here with the cultivation base of an immortal king rather than immortal foundation, what of it then?” Emperor Yu spoke. He then continued, “Everything is fair, everyone in the ancient mountain will have a chance to gain the inheritance. You guys aren’t able to enter because your cultivation bases have reached a certain level and you can no longer learn God’s Hand. The law energy you cultivate in would reject the divine essence of God’s Hand, thereby inducing the resistance force, making it so that none of you can enter.”

“But then, isn’t the fact that that brat’s chances of obtaining God’s Hand are higher than the rest?” An immortal emperor from the Ying Clan asked.

“What do you think?” Emperor Yu smiled. That immortal emperor didn’t reply. Wasn’t this simply talking nonsense? Qin Wentian had already cultivated the rudimentary form of God’s Hand before. His chances were naturally higher than the rest.

The people outside the ancient mountain were waiting. But in the ancient palace within the ancient mountain, the experts from the various powers were waiting as well. Qin Wentian moved closer and closer to the golden picture, almost fusing as one with it. The others also attempted but other than Qin Wentian, there was no one who could even get close to it. They would all be jolted back and receive injuries. Right now, they had no choice but to wait for Qin Wentian to finish his comprehension.

“Why is he so slow?” Ying Teng unhappily glanced at Qin Wentian. It has already been several months since they entered the ancient mountain, yet Qin Wentian was still in the midst of cultivation. Also, he could tell Qin Wentian’s body was undergoing some transformation. This made him extremely jealous. Qin Wentian’s aura grew vaster and stronger, the immortal light radiating from him made everyone feel as though Qin Wentian’s body was perfect. Such a powerful physique was something everyone in the immortal realms would all dream of obtaining.

In this trip into the ancient mountain, they were all like the supporting cast. Given how proud Ying Teng was, how could he be willing to accept this. In the Ying Clan, he was someone of high status, only a few others in the same generation as him had the same standing he did.

Even more days passed by. The transformation happening to Qin Wentian continued but was gradually slowing down. The degree of change the transformation brought about was smaller. He no longer resisted the divine essence but was enjoying the baptism brought by this mysterious energy. Right now, he was one with the picture while the mysterious energy cleansed him. Boundless runes constituted boundless changes, the sound of the great dao infused his mind, aiding him to see the truth.

Many people were already impatient from the waiting and wanted to disrupt Qin Wentian. However, Ying Teng stopped all of these people. Since he had already waited for so long, he didn’t mind to wait a little while longer. If they really disrupted Qin Wentian while he is in the midst of cultivating, who would be the one to open the bronze gates? Nobody would then be able to obtain the treasures left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi and this expedition would be a wasted trip.

He would rather chose to wait for Qin Wentian to finish. Luckily, the wait didn’t last for too long and one day, Qin Wentian finally stopped. He opened his eyes, and there was a resplendent light shining within. However at this instant, everyone immediately crowded over. This caused Qin Wentian’s eyes to gleam with a cold light as he regarded them.

Ying Teng moved forward, arriving before Qin Wentian as he spoke. “After waiting for so long, you should have finished cultivating God’s Hand right?”

“Senior brother, this fellow wants to make use of you to open the gates to obtain the treasures Ancient Emperor Yi left behind. They have all joined forces.” Jun Mengchen shouted.

“That’s right. We’ve waited so long for you. Go and open the gates now.” Ying Teng stared at Qin Wentian as he imperiously commanded. These people consisted of many descendants of immortal emperors, experts of the Ying Clan, Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Violet Emperor Sect. Such a formation was so powerful that even if the Southern Phoenix Clan and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect joined forces, they wouldn’t be able to contend against them.

Seems like although these people failed to comprehend the secret art, they still didn’t want to give up. All that was on their minds now was how to obtain the treasures left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi.

“Didn’t you hear what I said?” Ying Teng’s tone grew heavier when he saw Qin Wentian not responding to him. After that, the people behind him stepped out threateningly.

“Qin Wentian.” At this moment, Jiang Ziyu who was in the surroundings, stated. “Qin Wentian, as long as you agree to visit my Jiang Clan. I will aid you to resolve matters here today.”

“Jiang Ziyu!” Ying Teng’s gaze was glacial. “It’s fine that you didn’t wish to join forces with me. Are you trying to spoil my plans?”

“Am I acquainted with you?” Jiang Ziyu stared at Ying Teng as he impolitely replied. They were part of the three hegemons of the Southern Regions. How would the Jiang Clan’s experts fear the Ying Clan?

“Very good.” Ying Teng’s eyes flashed with an extremely cold light.

Qin Wentian glanced at Jiang Ziyu. This man kept inviting himself to visit the Jiang Clan, he didn’t know what Jiang Ziyu’s intentions are but human hearts are treacherous. Given how shrewd Jiang Ziyu is, he wouldn’t do something that has no purpose. Jiang Ziyu must have some benefits to gained from inviting him to the Ancient Jiang Clan and this might not be a good thing for him. Once he enters the Jiang Clan, his life would be at the beck and call of others. At that time, the Southern Phoenix Clan would be helpless even if they wanted to rescue him.

But if he didn’t agree to Jiang Ziyu, given the current strength of the Southern Phoenix Clan and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect’s experts, they were at a disadvantage.

Qin Wentian turned and walked towards one of the bronze gates. There were three gigantic bronze gates in total and all of them were extremely mysterious. Nobody knew what lies behind them. They were guessing that behind these gates, were the treasures kept by Ancient Emperor Yi.

There were terrifying greater demons protecting the gates.

“Senior.” Qin Wentian came before one and called out respectfully. This greater demon was an ancient Kui Ox, it exuded a violent aura and when its large saucer-like eyes opened, the light within was extremely terrifying.

“Speak.” The Kui Ox spoke.

“Junior has obtained the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi. Does it mean that the treasures behind these gates belong to me?” Qin Wentian straightforwardly asked.

“You have to open the gate first.” The Kui Ox’s voice boomed out, akin to thunder.

“Since junior has obtained the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi, may I request senior to kill some people?” Qin Wentian asked again. When the people here heard his words, they all froze. Even Ying Teng felt cold sweat running down his back. These greater demons guarding the three gates wouldn’t act against them, right? The demons didn’t bother about their presence here or the treasures within. But when these people heard Qin Wentian’s words, all of them felt chills in their hearts. What a bastard.

“The you now still doesn’t have the qualifications to issue a command to me.” The Kui Ox coldly spoke. Qin Wentian wasn’t too disappointed. Excitement gleamed in his eyes. He didn’t have the qualifications now? Doesn’t this mean that it might be possible for him to command these powerful demons in the future?

“In that case, what must I do before I can request senior to help me?” Qin Wentian continued politely asking. Ying Teng and the others all stepped closer, their eyes flashing with killing intent.

“I told you to open the bronze gate and not chat leisurely here.” Ying Teng transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian.

“You will understand after you open the gate.” The Kui Ox spoke in an emotionless tone. Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. The gate again. Seems like these three bronze gates were the key. Was all of Ancient Emperor Yi’s treasures really contained within?

For these gates, each was more complex than the other. The runic diagrams on them emcompasses everything and was inconceivably profound, containing traces of the great dao. He could only understand a portion of the diagrams for a particular gate. For the other two gates, everything was scrambled chaos to him. They made no sense at all.

Qin Wentian stepped before the gate which he could make some sense of. He then asked, “Can senior tell me what is inside there?”

There was no reply. The greater demon closed its eyes again and ignored him. This made Qin Wentian somewhat depressed. No matter what, he can be considered the successor of Ancient Emperor Yi. This greater demon actually didn’t give him any face at all.

“Qin Wentian, you best open the gate faster. There’s a limit to my patience.” Ying Teng couldn’t help but to threaten when he saw Qin Wentian basically didn’t care about his words. Qin Wentian turned and glanced at Ying Teng. The people here have all surrounded the Southern Phoenix Clan and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect’s experts. Ying Teng then pointed to Jun Mengchen and Purgatory, “These two should be your friends right? If you continue delaying and waste more time, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”

“Okay, I will do my best.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. His eyes landed on the bronze gate as he stared at it. The diagrams on the gate would transform on their own, encompassing everything. The flowing runes on the gate flowed within his mind. He understood that the runic diagram was the key to opening the gate.

The energy within his body circulated unceasingly, inscribing the diagram within. There were a myriad of transformations and he had to try and match the flow. Qin Wentian then closed his eyes as he branded the image completely into his mind.

The people behind all stared at Qin Wentian and the bronze gate. If this gate was opened and there really was ancient supreme treasures left behind by Emperor Yi, could the alliance between Ying Teng and these people still hold?
