Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 700
Chapter 700: Country Bumpkin
Li Mo’s corpse laid on the Sacred Battle Platform. Qin Wentian blasted out a palm, causing his body to instantly disintegrate into dust.
Li Mo, a second-level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant of the Royal Sacred Sect had been defeated and fallen in battle.
The curtain of light on the Sacred Battle Platform opened. Qin Wentian lifted his head, staring at the numerous experts of the Royal Sacred Sect standing in the air above. These numbers present here was simply terrifying and this was the first time Qin Wentian witnessed so many Ascendants in one place. The Royal Sacred Sect was indeed the hegemon of this world, it was unknown how many experts they had. With just a single summon, they were able to shock the world.
“Sending so many just to kill me. How shameful.” Qin Wentian mocked.
The entire space went silent, so quiet that it was terrifying. Around the Sacred Battle Platform, countless silhouettes stood there dumbstruck, all stunned by the response of the Royal Sacred Sect.
How strong exactly was the Royal Sacred Sect’s desire to kill Qin Wentian? However they discovered that right now, there were also several experts that appeared next to Qin Wentian. These were the maidens from the Medicine Sovereign Valley. It wasn’t going to be so easy for the Royal Sacred Sect if they wanted to kill him.
And no matter how strong Qin Wentian was, this response by the Royal Sacred Sect seemed a little ridiculous.
Li Mo’s death undoubtedly threw the face of the Royal Sacred Sect and now if their response were to gang up on Qin Wentian, this would instead caused the Royal Sacred Sect’s reputation to be damaged. Everyone would think that they have no experts powerful enough to defeat Qin Wentian in combat.
“Who should we send next?” Among the experts from the Royal Sacred Sect, a person silently transmit his voice to others.
“This brat’s combat prowess is truly terrifying. Given how powerful his constellation is, it must have been formed from a fusion of four true intents. I’m afraid we have no choice but to send out third-level Ascendants. How about sending Dong Yu?” A person suggested. Dong Yu was one of the strongest among third-level Ascendants in the Royal Sacred Sect. Both his attack and defense could be said to be perfect.
“Has Dong Yu arrived?” Someone asked.
All these voice transmissions happened in an extremely short span of time.
“Dong Yu is already here. But not only him, ‘that person’ has also came. Qin Wentian would die for sure now.” At this moment. Elder Li spoke through a voice transmission, his words causing the members of the Royal Sacred Sect to start. And at this very moment, a number of silhouettes could be seen flying over from afar.
There was a group of people that directly flew through the air, causing the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect to make a path for them. Elder Li and the others stared at these people, their gazes especially fixated on a young man that stood at the very front. After they recovered from their shock, the eyes of the members of the Royal Sacred Sect all flashed with surprise.
This young man in the lead was clad in a blue-colored luxurious robe. His long hair was bound by a violet crown and the contours of his face were akin to the edges of knives. His eyes sparkled with the coldness of stars, containing a light within them that would stir the souls of people.
Those by his side were extraordinary characters as well. There were elder-level characters from the Core Faction and Heaven Chosen of their Royal Sacred Sect. Dong Yu, was among these chosen.
Other than these, there were a few other equally impressive characters that stood beside the young man in blue. Their status was obviously higher compared to Dong Yu judging from how near they stood to him.
“Zai Xuan, you’ve returned!” Elder Li smiled and nodded towards the young man as traces of warmth flickered in his eyes. This warmth was something he had never shown when facing Zai Qiu.
“Uncle Li.” Zai Xuan lightly nodded in response to the expert surnamed Li.
“Brother Xuan!” Zai Qiu also respectfully greeted. Zai Xuan had the same surname as him, he was also a descendant of the Sacred Emperor. There was no need to question his status in the Royal Sacred Sect.
However, his position was much higher compared to Zai QIu.
“Mhm.” Zai Xuan glanced at Zai Qiu as he continued, “I’ve already heard about your matters. No wonder you weren’t selected by the Sacred Emperor to go out with me, roaming the outside worlds. Seeing that you can’t even deal with the people here, you best cultivate harder in the future.”
“Yes Brother Xuan.” Zai Qiu didn’t have the slightest bit of arrogance in his tone, but obediently responded instead.
The Royal Sacred Sect had dominated this world for so long. Naturally, the Sacred Emperor today wasn’t the first generation Sacred Emperor.
Every generation of Sacred Emperor would personally choose the most outstanding one among his descendants in their sect to nurture. After which, they would send them out of the Royal Sacred Region for adventure and to roam the outside world as a form of tempering themselves. These people who were selected were all named as Sacred Princes within the sect. They all had the potential to attempt to barge into the legendary realm of immortals; and the moment they succeeded, they would inherit the position of the Sacred Emperor and took responsibility for the nurturing of the next Sacred Emperor. Only this way would the Royal Sacred Sect able to sit securely in the position of hegemon in the Royal Sacred Region.
As for those who weren’t selected, they would remain behind in the Royal Sacred Sect to cultivate and positions would be granted to them based on their individual’s strength, their main responsibility was to ensure the Royal Sacred Sect would flourish throughout the generations, as strong as ever.
Zai Xuan was a character among Zai Qiu’s generation that was selected as a Sacred Prince. He was someone that had the possibility to inherit the position of the Sacred Emperor in the future. Even if he didn’t manage to, he would still return to the Royal Sacred Sect and would be granted a position of high importance.
“Zai Xuan, why have you returned?” An expert that was an elder of Zai Xuan, asked.
“It’s hard for you to understand even if I tell you about it. In any case, even I’m not sure if this news is true, after all, there are only rumors flying around now. But if this news is true, our entire Royal Sacred Region will be rocked by an massive earthquake, a countless number of external experts would descend on our world.” Zai Xuan faintly replied, his words causing expressions of shock to appear on the faces of everyone, stunned by the magnitude of what he said.
It was as though it was saying that a very huge incident might be happening here soon in their Royal Sacred Region but now, he still had no way to determine whether this piece of news was true or false.
“Let’s settle the things here first.” Zai Xuan continued. His gaze swept over to Qin Wentian on the platform. He was too, born in the Royal Sacred Region. How could he not know the Sacred Battle Platform?
“This is the person who almost killed you?” Zai Xuan spoke to Zai Qiu who now stood by his side.
“Mhm.” Zai Qiu’s countenance turned cold as he glared at Qin Wentian, the killing intent flashing within was evident to all.
“You can’t even deal with this country bumpkin? You better reflect on yourself.” Zai Xuan’s voice was very calm. What sort of storm and waves had he not experienced in the outside world? The experts he was acquainted with in the outside worlds were all characters that could make the sun and moon lose their luster if they came to the Royal Sacred Region.
With his perspective being broadened, he naturally wouldn’t look up to the ‘experts’ here in the Royal Sacred Region. Everyone here were like country bumpkins to him.
Honestly speaking, the experts of the Royal Sacred Region were akin to ordinary humans if they ventured out of this world. And within this generation, the Sacred Emperor of the Royal Sacred Sect only selected him. There were several others who could be considered supremely strong demon-level characters when placed in the Royal Sacred Region yet why did the Sacred Emperor not select them? Just from this point, it was normal to understand why Zai Xuan didn’t look up to these ‘experts’ from the Royal Sacred Region.
When the crowd heard Zai Qiu being lectured to, and the other experts all maintained a deferential respect to the young man who did so, they couldn’t help but have expressions of puzzlement flashing through their faces. What status did this young man with an extraordinary aura have exactly? He was actually so imposing, becoming the center where everyone in the Royal Sacred Sect revolves around the instant he arrived.
Not only him, even those other young characters at the side of Zai Xuan, all similarly exuded an extraordinary aura.
“So does the Royal Sacred Sect still intend to fight or not?” Qin Wentian coldly stated when he noticed the people of the Royal Sacred Sect disregarding him, chatting among themselves.
Not only that, this young man who just arrived had a cultivation base at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon yet his tone was so disparaging, even terming him as a country bumpkin.
“Just you? Do you think you are qualified to challenge my Royal Sacred Sect?” Zai Xuan’s eyes turned cold as he glanced at Qin Wentian.
“Not qualified?” An expression of interest flashed on Qin Wentian’s face as he stared at Zai Xuan in the air. He sarcastically commented, “I challenge all Ascendants at the first to third level of the Royal Sacred Sect, killing them with every victory I gained. Even Zai Qiu who is standing beside you, would have died long ago if it wasn’t for the Royal Sacred Sect being biased, protecting him. I’m really impressed that you have the face to say those words.”
Zai Xuan frowned, the loftiness in his eyes was tinged with frost as he coldly snorted, “Frog in the well staring at the sky, how can you know how vast the sky truly is?”
“Hehe.” A beautiful young woman beside Zai Xuan started laughing. This woman wore a tight-fitting dress that accentuated her beautiful figure, invoking the flames of desire in the heart of others. Her skin was simply perfect, a tinge of red could be seen underneath the snow-like color. Her eyes were beautiful as well, with a hint of magnetism in them.
“Zai Xuan, I thought you said your sect is the ruler of this world? Why do I feel that you are boasting? Even a country bumpkin has the guts to have no regards for you all.” That beautiful woman giggled. She was a friend Zai Xuan knew from his adventures in the outside words. This female was named Lu Ziyan, and had a pretty good relationship with Zai Xuan. Zai Xuan wanted to pursue her yet she didn’t accept or reject, content with maintaining their relationship as friends for now.
As to why she didn’t agree, it was because in her perspective, Zai Xuan was merely ordinary and wasn’t too outstanding. As to why she didn’t reject, it was because Zai Qiu’s clan was after all the hegemon of an entire world.
Her clan also had an existence on the same level of the Sacred Emperor. Although these clans could be considered powerful in the outside worlds, there was still a slight difference in status when compared to the hegemon of a particle world.
A hegemon of a world meant that they could easily obtain an almost unlimited amount of resources, garnering a huge fortune and was the king of the world they reside in.
Lu Ziyan had even obtained many advantages from Zai Xuan. This was also the reason why she kept dangling Zai Xuan with bait, keeping herself just barely out of his reach.
“Who doesn’t know how to boast shamelessly?” Zai Qiu smiled at Lu Ziyan. “Ziyan, country bumpkins have limited vision after all, often claiming themselves as geniuses. They usually have hot blood running through their veins and some don’t even fear death. But all in all, they are just a bunch of ridiculous people.”
“I can see that.” Lu Ziyan stared at the Ascendants of the Royal Sacred Sect in the air, all of them had their killing intents directed to the young man on the stage. It wasn’t difficult to kill him if they went all out.
However, the young man was courageous as well. He had no fear in him at all, and the aura from him was also exceptionally extraordinary. His handsome looks had a slight arrogance and unruly look to it, giving off a somewhat demonic feeling.
But no matter what, a bumpkin was after all, a bumpkin. His aura might be extraordinary but there was no way Lu Ziyan would ever look up to a country bumpkin from a particle world. Unless, he headed outside and achieved a transformation. It wasn’t that there weren’t such cases, although the probability was only about one in ten million.
“Dong Yu, go finish him off.” Zai Xuan stared at another young man in his entourage. From what he saw, Dong Yu’s strength should be sufficient enough to be able to easily kill a country bumpkin.
He didn’t like the look in this country bumpkin’s eyes. It stank of arrogance. And with the bumpkin staring at him in a mocking manner, Zai Xuan involuntarily felt the urge to laugh.
However in Qin Wentian’s eyes, the behaviour of Zai Xuan made him the ridiculous one!

Author Note: It has been 700 chapters. Qin Wentian officially started to come into contact with people from the outside worlds. A larger stage will soon be revealed!
Chapter 701: Rumors
Dong Yu walked towards the Sacred Battle Platform. He then floated in the air and stared downwards with contempt at Qin Wentian. “Your talent in the Royal Sacred Region can be considered pretty outstanding. Even if you might have committed some mistakes before, my Royal Sacred Sect can forgive and forget the past, even allowing you to join us. But since you are so stubborn, wanting to step into the abyss, I truly feel regret for you. You no longer have a path to go back, the only path in front of you is a path that leads to death.”
Dong Yu was a third level Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. Within the Royal Sacred Sect, he can be considered one of the most dazzling figures of his generation. His future was already set to be someone of the upper echelons and before this, he didn’t even intend to appear here until Zai Xuan showed an interest. He didn’t expect that he himself would need to act just to kill a first level Ascendant.
The disparity between the third level and first level of Celestial Phenomenon was exceedingly vast. The strength of one’s constellation, and the augmentation degree, were all stronger by far in addition to one’s aura and pure attacking strength.
It wasn’t only Dong Yu being self-confident. Everyone in the Royal Sacred Sect similarly felt that this was a battle with no suspense. If Dong Yu personally acted, Qin Wentian would definitely die here today.
“Does the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect usually fight using their mouths?” Qin Wentian stared at Dong Yu with a teasing expression in his eyes, causing an icy smile of disdain to appear on Dong Yu’s face. After which, he landed onto the Platform as the curtain of light closed. Dong Yu unleashed his constellation, causing astral light to flash but the place where the light was most intense was actually at a position behind Dong Yu’s body. There was an incomparably frigid silhouette of a frost king.
His constellation was an ice-type constellation, and in an instant, the entire Sacred Battle Platform was transformed into a world of ice and snow. Gleaming white snow blanketed the ground as tendrils of coldness permeated the atmosphere. There even seemed to be icicles raining down from his constellation and every bit of ice and snow was so cold that they could freeze someone to death.
The silhouette behind Dong Yu, was a frost king that seemed to materialize from the ice and frost of this area. It’s eyes were eerily white, and seemed to possess the power to freeze his opponent’s soul. The cold air radiating from his constellation unceasingly gathered on the frost king, causing his image to become more corporeal and the coldness exuding from him became so intense that ordinary Ascendants didn’t dare to get near it.
Simply too cold, it was so cold that the coldness seeped into the bone.
Constellations were evolved from astral souls. At this moment, Dong Yu’s constellation retracted back into his astral soul, manifesting the frost king. This was a kind of usage that occurred when Ascendants’ control over their constellation had reached a very high level, This frost king was precisely the concentrated form of his astral soul. Astral light from his ice-type constellation shone on it, unceasingly infusing it with power, causing it to have overwhelming strength.
“Cold.” This was the only sensation Qin Wentian felt now. Such coldness seeped directly into the bone and even into the depths of one soul, causing one to involuntarily shiver in the face of it.
Both of Qin Wentian’s eyes turned fiend-like as they gleamed with a terrifying light. His Dreamworld Constellation appeared as well, as both their constellations seemed to superimpose on each other, as two kinds of energy permeated this space.
One was the energy of ice and frost, while the other contained an extremely destructive force formed from the fusion of true intents.
A cold wind gusted by, the cold qi transformed into a storm that ravaged this entire space. Dong Yu still remained standing where he was, coldly staring at Qin Wentian’s silhouette. At this moment, his palms thrust through the air as a gigantic palm imprint of ice and snow appeared. Everywhere the palm imprint passed by was frozen solid. At this instant, Qin Wentian could feel an extremely terrifying coldness shooting his way. The power of Dong Yu’s palm strike had the ability to freeze everything.
Terrifying particles of light surrounded Qin Wentian before they manifested into an ancient halberd. This halberd struck forth suddenly as scars appeared from the space that was torn apart. The destructive light concentrated in a singular point before exploding out with full power, colliding against the gigantic frost palm imprint as thunderous booms rocked the area, cancelling each other out.
“Your attack strength isn’t bad. Seems like your usage of true intents has already reached a very high level of proficiency. However, the difference in our cultivation bases wouldn’t be so easily mitigated.” Dong Yu stepped out. The frost king behind him released another icy storm, constantly unleashing attacks towards Qin Wentian as the destructive frost engulfed this space, gushing out with no mercy.
The cold wind blew against Qin Wentian, causing his flesh to show symptoms of being frozen solid. His body flashed with resplendent starlight before it abruptly expanded, as his shirt was torn apart. An armor of astral light enveloped him, with runic patterns flowing all about. At this moment, it was as though his physique became indestructible, transformed into something akin to a real fiendgod that could suppress everything.
Dong Yu advanced nearer and nearer, the icy storm transformed into countless icicles that were as sharp as the edges of swords, continuing the barrage of attacks.
“How cold…” Qin Wentian’s body was covered by a layer of frost. This degree of frost could even kill people. The coldness within could invade one’s body, destroying one’s life force.
“Crack, crack…”
Sharp sounds echoed from Qin Wentian’s body as that layer of frost tried to break through his defense. All his four limbs gradually turned stiff. Although his defense was incredibly high, he would surely be frozen solid if he continued defending passively instead of seizing opportunities to attack.
Dong Yu who was at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon was truly powerful.
“DIE!” Dong Yu howled, a gigantic palm of calamitous frost in the ice storm concentrated by the frost king blasted out directly towards Qin Wentian.
Streams of destructive energy circulated around Qin Wentian as torrential amounts of demonic qi gushed forth. His aura climbed upwards and with a wave of his hand, a halberd containing a boundless indomitable force smash out, wanting to annihilate everything.
“BANG!”
The ancient halberd directly smashed into the palm imprint, shattering it into pieces. However, the cold qi contained within still remained. Dong Yu coldly snorted as the frost king howled in anger, causing streams of palm imprints coalesce from the cold qi before slamming out once again.
When Qin Wentian inclined his head, he saw an endless number of frost palm imprints all over the air, so many that they engulfed this entire space.
Qin Wentian’s attacking speed was also extremely fast. The halberd in his hand stabbed out unceasingly, causing rumbling sounds to rock the air, destroying the streams of palm imprints. Now, he made a grabbing motion in the air as rune lights flashed, there was enough power utilized to the extent where he could pluck the stars and seize the moon.
Dong Yu coldly snorted, as he used the frost king to protect himself, freezing the palm imprint before shattering it into pieces.
“Suppression, Qin Wentian is being suppressed. Dong Yu is so powerful, the Heaven Chosen of the Royal Sacred Sect is indeed awesome. However, his cultivation base is two levels higher than Qin Wentian, it’s already extremely terrifying that Qin Wentian could still exhibit such combat prowess.” Many in the crowd sighed. Dong Yi got increasingly closer as he unleashed a flurry of attacks. The gigantic fiendgod which Qin Wentian transformed into seemed well into the process of being frozen solid.
“How can you fight with me?” Dong Yu’s arrogant voice echoed in the air. Qin Wentian’s body radiated a resplendent light of the golden roc. His wings flapped as he explosively retreated only to see Dong Yu disregarding everything else, as he too pressed forward. Blasting out with his palms, everything in this space was frozen. The powerful icy energy barred the retreat of Qin Wentian as terrifying rumbling sounds echoed from this frozen world.
“Finger of Icy Extermination!”
The cold light radiating from Dong Yu’s countenance towered up into the skies. His finger stabbed out in the direction of Qin Wentian as a roaring filled this world of ice and snow. The formless energy of ice and snow flowed from everywhere into Qin Wentian, invading his body. At this moment Qin Wentian’s defense was broken through and he even felt as though his flesh was being destroyed by the ice. It was so cold that his entire body was shivering, and even the flow of his astral energy was affected.
“Dong Yu can be considered a powerful expert in my Royal Sacred Region. It’s effortless for him to kill this arrogant country bumpkin.” Zai Xuan who was in the air stated to Lu Ziyan who stood beside him.
“He doesn’t appear too bad. But without personally experiencing it in a fight, we don’t know if he’s strong or not. However, the combat prowess of that country bumpkin doesn’t seem too bad either. There isn’t anything for your Royal Sacred Sect to be proud of by killing a low level country bumpkin right?” Lu Ziyan smiled. A battle between weaklings had no way to stir her interest.
“Ziyan, you naturally wouldn’t think much of their battle.” Zai Xuan laughed, “Anyway, I wonder if this news is true or false. If this news is real, Ziyan, we would surely be able to broaden our perspectives, At that time when the Heaven Chosen of the outside worlds gather here at my Royal Sacred Region, I wonder how many demon-level characters would show up.”
“I’m filled with anticipation too.” Lu Ziyan’s beautiful eyes flashed with a dazzling light. “However, I feel that there’s something strange about those rumors. This world known as the Royal Sacred Region is considered one of the weaker ones among the particle words. If a supreme existence announced that he is keen on taking disciples, there would surely be countless geniuses fighting for the chance. Why would he choose to hold the disciple recruitment event in such a small and remote world like this one?”
“Haha, isn’t this excellent? Who knows, maybe we both have a chance.” Zai Xuan smiled.
“Oh?” Lu Ziyan felt disdain in her heart yet she was still smiling on the surface. “If you manage to become a disciple of a supreme existence, even if it’s an outer disciple, I will immediately marry you, allowing you to do whatever you want to me.”
“Really?” Zai Xuan glanced at her exquisite figure as a flash of lust appeared in his eyes. He had wanted to eat this woman up for a very long time already; but this woman was extremely intelligent, whetting his appetite yet refusing to give in totally.
“Of course. However Zai Xuan, do you have the capabilities to achieve that first?” Lu Ziyan giggled, her words causing Zai Xuan’s countenance to dim.
Indeed, for experts on the supreme-tier of existence accepting disciples, how could it ever be his turn? He wasn’t even qualified to be an outer disciple. He knew his own worth and the fact that there was no way for him to win against the Heaven Chosen from the outer worlds.
“Hehe.” Seeing Zai Xuan’s expression, Lu Ziyan laughed and turned her attention back onto the Sacred Battle Platform. However she only saw that at this moment, there seemed to be a transformation occurring in Qin Wentian. From him, a dazzling light erupted outwards in an incomparably resplendent manner.
“Bzz!”
Astral light flashed as an intense violet-gold luster illuminated the entire Sacred Battle Platform. On the Platform which was enveloped by constellations, an astral soul with a violet gold corona appeared, instantly causing Zai Xuan to freeze. The smile on Lu Ziyan’s face also stiffened as great shock rose in their hearts.
“What astral soul is that? It actually has a violet-gold corona?” Many among the crowd murmured, this was the first time they saw an astral soul with this kind of luster.
“It couldn’t be an astral soul from the legendary 7th Heavenly Layer, right…?” All of them suddenly thought of a possibility as their hearts violently pounded!
Chapter 702: Death By Suppression
Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan were people who knew their stuff. Their perspectives were much broader compared to people of the Royal Sacred Region.
Within the Royal Sacred Region, exceptionally few people knew what color was the luster for astral souls condensed at the 7th Heavenly Layer. At most, they would only have faintly heard of it.
But Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan had roamed the outside worlds and they naturally knew what what was the underlying indication that Qin Wentian had condensed an astral soul from the 7th Heavenly Layer. The more they knew, the more their hearts trembled.
“How can this be possible?” An expression of disbelief flashed in the eyes of Zai Xuan, he didn’t dare to believe what he saw. This should be Qin Wentian’s fifth astral soul, right? He was very clear on what it meant to have a 7th-layered astral soul as one’s fifth astral soul. Even in the outside world, it was extremely rare for a genius to accomplish that.
Those who could do so were all undoubtedly Heaven Chosen from supreme powers, exceptionally dazzling characters.
Yet…the young man before him was nothing but a country bumpkin. Such a contrast made Zai Xuan feel a sense of surrealism as well as great shock rumbling his heart.
A man he ridiculed as a country bumpkin actually released an astral soul that had a violet-gold corona. And staring at how calm Qin Wentian was, he himself probably didn’t know the significance of the violet-gold corona of his astral soul.
Indeed, Qin Wentian wasn’t very clear on the significance of that. He only knew that the first astral soul he condensed from the 5th Heavenly Layer was already extremely extraordinary. But his following ones; his second and third astral souls were from the 5th Heavenly Layer too. It was only when he condensed his fourth astral soul did he make a breakthrough, condensing the king sword astral soul at the peak of the 6th-layer. And now, for his fifth astral soul, he succeeded and broke through to the 7th-layer, condensing it from a constellation there. He didn’t feel it was anything to be proud of. Maybe, many talented geniuses would also be able to achieve such a feat.
For example back then when he saw the constellation of the Darkshadow Sovereign, he could tell that it was evolved from an astral soul at the 6th-layer.
Since the Darkshadow Sovereign could condense an astral soul at the 6th-layer, it meant that there would be others who can achieve it too. So condensing an astral soul at a layer higher might be rarer but it was still achievable.
However in truth, Qin Wentian’s thinking was wrong. It wasn’t that difficult for a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant to condense an astral soul at the 6th-layer but astral souls at the 7th-layer were a qualitative leap compared to those at the 6th-layer, and it was as tough as ascending the heavens.
The affinity of a stellar martial cultivator towards the constellations weren’t fixed innately at the start of birth. One had to deepen the affinity bit by bit, through meditation and the leveling up of one’s cultivation base.
Hence, to many stellar martial cultivators in the Royal Sacred Region. When their first astral soul came from the 1st-layer, their second astral soul would at most be from the 2nd-layer, and third astral soul from the 3rd-layer. After after that, there was a very high probability that their affinity would never be able to breakthrough the third heavenly layer and their cultivation bases would also be restricted to at most, the Heavenly Dipper Realm or in worst case, stuck at the Yuanfu Realm forever.
But to the geniuses in the Royal Sacred Region, their first astral souls usually originates from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. By achieving this, it meant that you would already be a genius. However, their second astral soul might also be from the 3rd-layer and they would only breakthrough when it was time to condense their third astral soul. For these geniuses, it was already pretty good for them to be able to condense an astral soul at the 5th-layer for their fifth astral soul when they break through to Celestial Phenomenon. Those with a higher degree of talent, their perception had a possibility that it might be able to break into the 6th-layer, depending on their individual affinity.
Hence for some geniuses, their astral souls originated from these heavenly layers: 3, 3, 4, 5, 6.
For those more dazzling ones: 3, 4 ,4, 5, 6; or 3, 4, 5, 5, 6.
However, Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan’s perspective were much more vast. To them, these ‘geniuses’ weren’t geniuses. They could only be considered above-average characters.
Even in the outside world, the astral souls origin of geniuses would originate from: 4, 4, 5, 5, 6 or 4, 5, 5, 5, 6.
For more outstanding individuals: 4, 5, 5, 6, 6. These people were usually elites of major powers, their perception was able to break into the 6th-layer when merely at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, condensing their fourth astral soul.
Naturally there were even rarer demon-level characters. For their very fast astral soul, they could already form an innate connection with the 5th-layer. Their astral souls origin would be: 5, 5, 5, 6, 6. This can already be considered an extremely powerful combination.
And for even more heaven-defying characters, those rumored existences which exudes magnificence throughout their generations, their combination would be: 5, 5, 5, 6, 7. After they broke through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, they might consume some heavenly ingredients or earthly treasures, allowing their affinity to deepen, and strengthening their will, enabling them to break through to the 7th Heavenly Layer when they condensed their fifth astral soul.
For such characters, even Lu Ziyan hadn’t personally seen any before. She had only occasionally heard her elders discussing about the radiant history of these individuals, and thus, knew a bit about this.
Yet at this moment, in the Royal Sacred Region that’s a puny particle world, she actually saw a violet-gold luster on the astral soul of a country bumpkin.
Lu Ziyan even rubbed her eyes to ascertain that her eyes weren’t playing tricks on her. A strange expression involuntarily appeared on her face. In the outside worlds, there were ‘country bumpkin’ characters which became legends. These people were even more terrifying compared to others because they work their way to the top step by step. Their will and determination wasn’t something people could match and their combat prowess within the same realm was so strong that they were terrifying.
Lu Ziyan faintly sensed that maybe, she found someone like that. As she thought to here, the eyes which she regarded Qin Wentian with, brightened up.
This time when Lu Ziyan glanced at Qin Wentian again, she only felt that he was incredibly good-looking. The protrusion of his face reflected a resolve, his eyes that gleamed with light contained tyranny and disdain and even had a hint of someone who stood at the peak, gazing down at the masses.
Although this might sound strange, Qin Wentian’s bearing was simply there. It was only that Lu Ziyan didn’t notice it earlier. However right now, because her state of heart had changed, the way she viewed Qin Wentian naturally changed as well. At the start, she viewed Qin Wentian as a country bumpkin. Although he might have an extraordinary demeanor, she at most would only feel that he was interesting. His arrogance and ignorance of not knowing how tall the heavens and how vast the world is simply made her want to laugh out loud in ridicule.
However, things were different now. Those shortcomings which made her want to laugh suddenly became plus points for him.
“Zai Xuan, your Royal Sacred Sect not only didn’t go all out to nurture such a character but even sent out so many people to kill him? It seems like your Royal Sacred Sect are the ones who didn’t know how high the heavens and how vast the world is.” Lu Ziyan’s face had traces of sarcasm in it. She wasn’t afraid that Zai Xuan would be angry. Zai Xuan was the one pursuing her, she was not the one pursuing him.
Zai Xuan’s countenance grew incredibly unsightly. His eyes turned towards those from the upper echelons, only to see that all of them were badly shocked by Qin Wentian’s astral souls. However, Elder Li’s eyes were still gleaming with cold light, he then spoke, “You might not know this, but this brat is extremely arrogant. Our Royal Sacred Sect had invited him to join us many times but were all rejected by him. And he was even brazen enough to kill his way into our Royal Sacred Sect and slaughter a disciple from the Core Faction. Back then we tolerated his actions, yet to think that his arrogance only grew more and more. Only with no choice left to us did we beseech the Sacred Emperor, getting his approval to send the kill order. Such a brazen brat, even if we kill him there wouldn’t be any regrets.”
Lu Ziyan merely laughed. She stared at the Sacred Battle Platform as she spoke, “But it’s still a question mark regarding whether the third-level Ascendant you guys sent out would be able to kill him.”
Leaving out others, even Ye Qingyun and experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley were stunned when they saw Qin Wentian releasing his astral soul. They drew in a deep breath, trying to calm the waves that were rocking their heart.
A violet-gold astral soul, was this an astral soul from the 7th Heavenly Layer?
The astral soul which appeared behind Qin Wentian was naturally his fifth astral soul, the towering giant human-formed figure which he condensed from the 7th Heavenly Layer. The violet-gold corona could be seen around it as it radiated a sense of absolute suppression like an immortal king tramping upon the world. Boundless runic lights flowed around it and every filament of light contained a terrifying might within.
From the aura this astral soul exuded, one could very well imagine how powerful this was. The boundless astral light radiated outwards as everything around Qin Wentian was completely suppressed.
Dong Yu was facing Qin Wentian. The rush of impact to him was the greatest but as expected of a Heaven Chosen from the Royal Sacred Sect, he quickly adjusted his mindset as the frost king behind him began to unleash a torrential wave of coldness that was a ten million foot wall. The cold qi swept over everything, gushing towards Qin Wentian while all the while materializing frost.
“DIE!”
Dong Yu stabbed out another finger attack, only to see Qin Wentian’s entire body was currently enveloped by resplendent light. His palms circulated with a dazzling violet-golden glow as it expanded before smashing downwards with crushing force, suppressing everything. The violet golden glow caused boundless rune lights to cascade downwards and at this instant, Qin Wentian gave off the feeling that he was even able to suppress the heavens. Dong Yu trembled violently but soon felt his body going stiff as the mighty suppression force permeated everything in this world.
However at this moment, Dong Yu didn’t give up yet. He clasped his hands together as his ice-type constellation spun about, replaced by his second one. In an instant, the world of ice and snow was transformed into a world of boiling lava whose heat baked everything in it. An ice-type constellation and a fire-type constellation. Ice and heat were energies from the two extremes, and at this sudden replacement caught Qin Wentian by surprise. Right now an incomparable heat cloaked Qin Wentian within, causing him to feel as though he was about to be refined by the heat into ashes.
The destructive energy produced from the sudden abrupt change in extremities was so powerful that Qin Wentian felt cracks appearing on his fiendgod body, as though he was about to fall apart.
In the blink of an eye, resplendent runic lights circulated around him as he blasted out in the air with his palm at the same instant. A surge of supreme suppression force blasted outwards in all directions causing the heat to be unable to get close to him. The runic lights from the suppression force transformed into a kind of forcefield that allowed Qin Wentian to ignore the heat. He then coolly stepped out and stared at Dong Yu.
Two completely different kinds of constellations, Dong Yu’s strength was truly terrifying. No wonder he was a demon-level character of the Royal Sacred Sect.
But even so, Qin Wentian would definitely kill him today.
This entire world was still enveloped by the Dreamworld Constellation. The omnipresent destructive energy concentrated on Qin Wentian’s body, augmented by the violet-glow from his suppression-type astral soul. He then stomped onto the ground as a boundless monumental pressure gushed towards Dong Yu, squeezing everything into nothingness wherever it passed.
Dong Yu blasted out with both his palms, fire and ice interweaved as they shot outwards in a brilliant explosion. However, the suppression pressure was endless and boundless. It then enveloped Dong Yu within as the violet-gold coated pressure squeezed within itself, becoming smaller and smaller before finally snapping closed completely. Dong Yu was directly suppressed so badly by the overwhelming pressure that his body was simply pressed into nothingness to the point where even his soul scattered. A Heaven Chosen from the Royal Sacred Sect was overwhelmingly suppressed to death while still alive just like that!
Chapter 703: Wanting Qin Wentian’s Death
Dong Yu, a Heaven Chosen of the Royal Sacred Sect with a cultivation base at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Qin Wentian was unwilling to join the Royal Sacred Sect. His cultivation base was now at the first level of Celestial Phenomenon, he was the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm and had a degree of talent higher compared to the eight era-suppressing geniuses. Not only that, his fifth astral soul was also a violet-gold astral soul from the 7th Heavenly Layer.
The two of them fought fairly on the Sacred Battle Platform but the result was that Dong Yu had died.
There was simply no need to talk about the differences in their talent. Dong Yu was two whole levels higher than Qin Wentian, yet he was suppressed to death. The geniuses of the Royal Sacred Sect were simply jokes in front of Qin Wentian.
Just like what Qin Wentian and Ye Qingyun said, the hegemon of this world, the Royal Sacred Sect seems to have an undeserved reputation. Their so-called strength was simply because of the gathering of this world’s geniuses. As for those demon-level characters which they nurtured, even when two levels higher than Qin Wentian, that genius was still smashed apart. Actions, would always speak louder than words.
At this moment, the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect were all ashen. Dong Yu died in battle, and their face was undoubtedly smacked by Qin Wentian in front of the world. The hegemon of this world didn’t live up to its name.
The screen of light opened. Ye Qingyun turned his gaze onto the air and spoke,”If it weren’t for the people of this world, how could there be a Royal Sacred Sect? What’s laughable is that now that the Royal Sacred Sect has became the hegemon through generations of effort from the people, they started to view the lives of everyone in the world as theirs to dictate. Even using the lives of my Ye Country and Grand Xia to threaten us? How pitiful. If the Royal Sacred Sect can’t stand us both, just come and kill us then. If you implicate the innocent citizens of my Ye country and Grand Xia Empire, you will only earn the scorn of the people of the world and be destroyed sooner or later.”
Lu Ziyan watched the scene play out with a smile on her face. The Royal Sacred Sect was the king of this world but it seems that there were people rebelling now. Not only that, among these rebels, there was a demon-level character who had a violet-gold astral soul.
Sadly, this young man was born in such a remote particle world. If he was born in the outside worlds, how could such a weak power like the Royal Sacred Sect dare to kill him? If they did, it was unknown how many major powers would act on his behalf, annihilating the Royal Sacred Sect from the face of this world.
Such contrived situations would only happen in a world full of country bumpkins.
Zai Xuan stared at Qin Wentian as his gaze flickered with jealousy. He was the Sacred Prince, but in this world governed by his sect, there was actually a country bumpkin whose talent was higher than him? And in addition, he was still boasting earlier in front of Lu Ziyan. Now when he looked at the smile on Lu Ziyan’s face, he felt that his face had been completely thrown away.
However, if Qin Wentian was really born in the outside worlds, it was true that he would have many opportunities. However, this world was a world dominated by his Royal Sacred Sect. So what if he had supreme talent? He was nothing more than a “thing” whose fate lies in their control.
“If I had that kind of astral soul, I would long have already been accepted as a personal disciple by those powerful characters.” Zai Xuan’s eyes gleamed with coldness, yet he didn’t allow any of that to show on the outside. He turned and spoke to Qin Wentian,”Your talent is remarkable, as the hegemon of this world, my Royal Sacred Sect isn’t a tyrant that has no tolerance. Even now, I’m still willing to give you a chance. As long as you are willing to submit, my Royal Sacred Sect is still willing to welcome you and would heavily invest resources to nurture you.”
Yet what Zai Xuan was really thinking was that as long as Qin Wentian agreed to join the Royal Sacred Sect, his life and fate would completely be in his hands. At that time, he would only need to use some unique methods to cause Qin Wentian to completely submit to him, to the extent where it was impossible even if he wanted to break free, forever becoming his slave.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” Qin Wentian inclined his head, staring at Zai Xuan who was in the air. His eyes flashed with mocking laughter, causing Zai Xuan to furrow his brows.
After which, he only heard Qin Wentian continue speaking,”Do I even need the Royal Sacred Sect to nurture me? Is your Royal Sacred Sect even qualified to do so?”
As the sound of his voice faded, the hearts of everyone pounded violently once more. His words caused Zai Xuan to turn ashen, how arrogant were these words? Yet they had no way to refute them. The battle earlier was still fresh in the minds of everyone. Qin Wentian slayed two Heaven Chosens of their Royal Sacred Sect and both of his opponents had cultivation bases higher compared to him.
Saying that his Royal Sacred Sect would nurture him was undoubtedly a joke. The talents you nurtured were all destroyed by someone who could jump levels. Do you even still have the face to say that you would nurture this person?
“This is already the limit of our tolerance. Your hands are filled with the blood of our members. If you continue to be so arrogant, death is your only way out.” Zai Xuan’s voice was bone-chillingly cold. An icy intent cascaded downwards, gushing towards Qin Wentian.
“Tolerance? Ridiculous. If my combat prowess was just a little weaker, would I even still be alive to hear you speak such nonsense? You all want to kill me and don’t permit me to resist? If I resist, this meant that I’m arrogant? Your logic truly astounds the world.” Qin Wentian mocked as he continued,”Don’t forget the words I said before I came here. Could it be that your Royal Sacred Sect is now publicly admitting that there’s no one else in the sect that can defeat me? I even allow you to send opponents two levels higher than me but is there no one who dares to battle?”
“Zai Xuan, this brat is truly too brazen. There’s no need to waste words with him, kill him directly.” An elder of the Royal Sacred Sect spoke. Keeping Qin Wentian alive would only continue to damage the prestige of their Royal Sacred Sect. This brat had to die.
“The Royal Sacred Sect, the hegemon of this world. From today onwards, it’s name would become nothing but a joke, a shame to the people of the world.” Qin Wentian stared at the experts in the air. His purpose here today has already been accomplished. Staring at the ugly expressions on the faces of the experts from the Royal Sacred Sect, Qin Wentian understood that they had been knocked down from their divine pedestal. There wouldn’t be anyone thinking of them as a God or a sacred land for cultivators at the highest level.
Their overbearingness and their tyranny. Their principle of submit and prosper, defy and die; they weren’t as perfect nor as strong as what people imagined. The talents nurtured by the Royal Sacred Sect could similarly be defeated by others. A true demon-level character had no need to join the Royal Sacred Sect.
“Die then.”
Zai Xuan’s eyes turned sinister. His tolerance had already reached the limit. This man kept humiliating his Royal Sacred Sect. If they don’t kill him, where would their prestige still remain?
As the sound of Zai Xuan’s voice faded…
A terrifying might suddenly engulfed this space, so powerful that it made everyone present want to prostrate themselves in worship.
“How tyrannical,” A voice drifted over. After which, a silhouette appeared in the center of the Sacred Battle Platform. This was none other than the Medicine Sovereign!
He stood there unmoving, yet an overwhelming formless pressure radiated out from him, travelling outwards in a thousand miles. This entire space seemed to be locked down, the murderous aura from Zai Xuan completely dissipated in the face of this might.
“The Medicine Sovereign…Why is he this strong?” There were some who felt their hearts shaking in fear. The Royal Sacred Sect brought too many experts, and there were many peak-level Ascendants among them. Yet just the pressure radiating from the Medicine Sovereign alone was sufficient to offset and even overwhelm the pressure exuding from the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect?
This ancient existence, how strong was he exactly?
“Qin Wentian is the husband of my personal disciple Mo Qingcheng. This means that he is my son-in-law. The Royal Sacred Sect kept on forcing my hand, and even sent out so many experts to kill him? Do you all not have me in your eyes?” The Medicine Sovereign stared at those from the Royal Sacred Sect standing in the air as he coldly spoke.
“Medicine Sovereign, you don’t have the rights to interfere in this.” Zai Xuan icily replied. However, the Medicine Sovereign merely glanced at him as he flicked his sleeve. Such a simple actions caused Zai Xuan’s body to be directly flung through the air, as blood leaked out from his mouth.
“Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me in this manner?” The Medicine Sovereign’s eyes turned to ice.
“Medicine Sovereign, are you planning on interfering in the matters of the junior generation?” At this moment, another voice rang out in the air. After which a face appeared in the sky, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble.
“We greet the Sacred Emperor.” Some of those from the upper echelons of the Royal Sacred Sect instantly bowed low upon seeing this face as they called out respectfully.
“We pay our respect to the Sacred Emperor.” The other experts of the Royal Sacred Sect all felt their hearts shaking as they knelt respectfully to welcome the Sacred Emperor.
At this instant, the people of the Sacred Royal City were all extremely stunned. Today, the Sacred Emperor, the head of the hegemon of this world had personally came to the Sacred Battle Platform?
The eyes of that face only had interest in one person. His gaze was only fixed on the Medicine Sovereign.
“‘Matters of the junior generation?’ The entire Royal Sacred Sect is bullying my son-in-law, do they even have me in their eyes?” The Medicine Sovereign stared up in the air, with no hints of fear at all in his mannerisms. His words couldn’t help but cause great waves to rise in the hearts of those present.
The Medicine Sovereign actually dared to talk to the Sacred Emperor in this manner? A possibility suddenly bloomed in their minds, and their hearts once more couldn’t help but to tremble violently when they thought of it.
“No matter what, at our current level of cultivation, we shouldn’t interfere in their matters.” The Sacred Emperor calmly spoke, his words giving credence to the possibility that appeared in the minds of those present. And as his words rang out, the entire space was stunned into silence.
At ‘our’ current level of cultivation?
Our?
Had the Medicine Sovereign also reached the immortal level?
No wonder Qin Wentian dared to behave in this manner. So it turned out that his backer was also an immortal. What else does he not dare to do?
In fact, even Qin Wentian felt his heart shaking as he stared in astonishment at the old man in front of him. So it turns out that the Medicine Sovereign had already reached this level.
“Hu…” Breathing out a mouthful of turbid air, Qin Wentian bitterly shook his head. He naturally didn’t come here to die today. In fact, he had maintained communications constantly with the experts of the Medical Sovereign Valley, discussing how they should handle this. The Medicine Sovereign sent word to him, telling him to act as his heart desires. This was why Qin Wentian appeared on the Sacred Battle Platform and provoked and challenged the prestige of the Royal Sacred Sect.
He kept speculating why was the Medicine Sovereign so confident, what trump card does he have to be so confident. Could it be that Uncle Black and the others would act once more?
But in reality he was wrong. Ever since after his wedding, Uncle Black and his father’s followers wouldn’t appear again.
Qin Wentian’s wedding was too important an event, and Uncle Black also wanted to accomplish Qin Wentian’s mother’s order which was why he chose to appear. If not, even now, Qin Wentian wouldn’t know that the Medicine Sovereign and Uncle Black were acquaintances.
However at this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly realized something. No wonder back then the Medicine Sovereign would dare to protect him when he was in the Royal Sacred Sect, speaking to the Sacred Emperor on equal terms. So it turned out that the Medicine Sovereign had long became an immortal. What was laughable was that he only discovered it now. In hindsight, it seemed that he was a little foolish. He should have been able to guess it long ago.
The Medicine Sovereign calmly stared at the face in the sky,”In that case, this means that their killing of Qin Wentian has been met with your approval. You are the Sacred Emperor, you say we shouldn’t get involved in matters of the junior generations yet you were the one who gave the order. Seems like the state of your heart hasn’t matched up with your cultivation level yet.”
“Today you won’t be able to protect him. If you insist on doing it, I shall act personally.” The serene voice of the Sacred Emperor contained an undoubtable might, causing great tremors to rock the hearts of those present. It seems that even the Sacred Emperor wants Qin Wentian to die.
Qin Wentian was simply too dazzling. Especially today, he had exposed the fact that he had a violet-gold astral soul. Since this person had an enmity with his sect, how could the Sacred Emperor still allow such an outstanding genius to survive?!
Chapter 704: Treasures of the Medicine Sovereign
The appearance of the Sacred Emperor made many exclaim in shock. So the Sacred Emperor wasn’t any saint, it was just because he was overwhelmingly strong.
Today, although the Sacred Emperor and the Royal Sacred Sect appeared here adopting a superior attitude, to the people of this world, the Royal Sacred Sect was no longer so ‘divine’ as they once thought.
The Medicine Sovereign lifted his head and stared at the face in the sky.”Sure, since you want to threaten me like this, I won’t act then. But let me tell you this too. If you personally act to kill Qin Wentian, I shall ensure that each and every member of your Royal Sacred Sect will be completely wipe out.”
The long beard of the Medicine Sovereign fluttered in the wind, yet the impact of his words harshly rumbled the hearts of those present.
Just based on the conversation between the Medicine Sovereign and the Sacred Emperor, this debt of a grudge was already formed.
The Medicine Sovereign wanted to protect Qin Wentian while the Sacred Emperor wanted to kill him. Since this was the case, the Medicine Sovereign promised the Sacred Emperor that he wouldn’t act personally if the Sacred Emperor didn’t. But if the Sacred Emperor tried something funny, he would annihilate the entire Royal Sacred Sect.
The two of them had exchanged words of hatred. These two supreme-level existences in the Royal Sacred Sect had just turned enemies with one another.
In addition, the crowd also thought that since the Medicine Sovereign had already stepped into the immortal level. From now onwards, the position of the Royal Sacred Sect would be shaken whether they liked it or not.
And as expected, an instant later the Medicine Sovereign spoke,”From today onwards, my Medical Sovereign Valley opens recruitment to everyone in the Royal Sacred Region. I, the Medicine Sovereign don’t really have a lot of things. Only, what I have is plenty of heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures. If your talent is high enough, I can give you medicinal pills to eat for your breakfast, lunch and dinner. Other than medicinal pills, I have gathered a huge amount of treasures while roaming the outside worlds through these years. The wealth of my Medicine Sovereign Valley would definitely not be inferior to that of the Royal Sacred Sect.”
When this news circulated to the entire Royal Sacred Region, the status of the Royal Sacred Sect would surely be affected.
The mysterious Medicine Sovereign Valley had always never been interested in contesting for power, existing in this world with a neutral position. But now, it felt as though the Royal Sacred Sect was forcing the Medicine Sovereign Valley to revoke its policy as they too started to recruit disciples.
“Today, I shall let the world see what I have at my disposal. You all want to kill Qin Wentian? Sure, take out some true ability.” With a wave of his hand, experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley brought out an array of terrifying combat-type divine weapons. These divine weapons were all combat puppets in the form of humans and demonic beasts, and they were all exuding an aura of boundless might.
“Puppets, these are all exceedingly powerful puppets.” Staring at the gigantic puppets, the hearts of everyone pounded. The Medicine Sovereign was a rare genius in the world of medicine, the number one alchemist in the Royal Sacred Region. Now that they knew of his cultivation level, what rank has he reached exactly when it comes to pill concoction?
And in addition, puppets were considered a category of divine weapons. They should have been created by a grandmaster. The Medicine Sovereign actually had so many combat puppets in his possession? But after thinking a little about it, they soon understood. The Medicine Sovereign had talent in pill concoction, his pills would surely be coveted by immortals, hence there was a need for some form of self-protection. Combat puppets would undoubtedly be able to increase his combat prowess. As to why he had so many, it was definitely possible for him to exchange for these puppets using the immortal-ranked medicinal pills he concocted.
A truly powerful puppet was an enhanced divine weapon. Within the puppet, there would be several divine inscription formations engraved, and the materials used to manufacture the puppet would also be of extremely high-grade. It has very high attack and defense, the only disadvantage was that it was slightly harder to control. But in all other aspects, it was invulnerable.
The experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley took out over thirty superstrong combat puppets at one shot. After this, they directly entered the puppets to control it from within. The sound of metal moving rang out as gleams of luster circulated around the combat puppets, causing a chill to bloom in the hearts of those from the Royal Sacred Sect. When these puppets inclined their heads, an aura of incomparable sharpness shot straight up towards the sky.
“What a powerful aura, these are all peak-tier Celestial Phenomenon Puppets!” The hearts of the crowd trembled. Right now, they only saw the Medicine Sovereign soaring up into the skies as he stood there in opposition, facing off against the Sacred Emperor.
“DIE!” How could the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect be frightened, the Sacred Emperor was personally here today. And the experts among them consisted of many peak-level Ascendants whose combat prowess was extremely high. So what if they were to fight against the combat puppets?
Beside Qin Wentian, an extremely powerful combat puppet appeared. It was an incomparably gigantic golden dragon the size of three thousand meters long and exuded a terrifying aura.
This immense golden dragon stomped on the ground causing the Sacred Battle Platform to shake as resplendent rune lights appeared. After which, a fearsome spatial energy gushed out as its gigantic body completely vanished from view, before re-appearing above the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect.
The sharp claws of the golden dragon lashed out at the same moment, causing a terrifying spatial storm to instantly appear, lacerating everything into nothingness within a hundred mile radius. The destructive might of that puppet’s attack tore and ripped apart numerous experts from the Royal Sacred Sect. Fresh blood splashed through the air and many were shredded so finely by the spatial storm that nothing was left of them.
If one didn’t have a cultivation base at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon, their defenses were akin to a piece of paper in front of this golden dragon, easily shredded apart.
“How powerful.” The spectators from afar stared at the golden dragon as they gaped in amazement. This scene seemed to prove a certain saying. In front of absolute power, numbers were useless.
Although the attacks of the golden dragon were strong, the controller of it had no way to unleash it’s agility. After unleashing an attack, an incomparably brilliant and tyrannical might slammed into the golden dragon as a terrifying ear-piercing sharpness rang out. However, only a slight dent could be seen on the golden dragon puppet, there was simply no way to destroy it. The toughness of the materials used to forge it had granted it an inconceivable level of defense.
The Sacred Emperor had an unsightly expression on his face. He glanced at the Medicine Sovereign. How could he not understand that these powerful puppets originated from the outside world. People in the Royal Sacred Region would have no way to manufacture these.
“BOOM, BOOM. BOOM!”
The earth started trembling as many cracks appeared on the Sacred Battle platform. The terrifying puppets shot up into the air, unleashing supremely powerful attacks. There was a human-form puppet with a golden disk in its hand. This golden disk contained an overwhelming destruction energy which manifest a golden torrential storm that was capable of crushing everything. Wherever the storm passed by, those that came into contact with it were shattered into pieces.
There was also another puppet in the form of a roc. Its wings gleamed with golden light, slashing through the air with unfathomable speed! Those that were struck by the wings were forcibly sliced into two. Even those that were not in the direct line felt lacerating injuries on their bodies from the residue waves of the roc’s attack.
Each and every one of the puppets had grand divine inscription formations embedded within them, they were engraved using true-intents and was so strong to the point where it was extremely terrifying.
Within a short span of time after the battle erupted, over a hundred experts from the Royal Sacred Sect had already fallen in battle. Fresh blood dyed the Sacred Battle Platform red with the blood of members from the hegemony of the Royal Sacred Region.
“This…” From afar, the spectators only felt a sense of disbelief when they saw how much the puppets abused the Royal Sacred Sect’s experts.
As for Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan, they both had already borrowed the power of escape-type treasures to leave this battlefield. Zai Xuan had an ashened expression on his face as he watched how the battle played out.
“How can this be? Even in the outside worlds, these kind of combat puppets are extremely rare. Unless one used sixth-ranked medical pills to exchange for them, there was no way anyone would agree to the trade. Could it be that the Medicine Sovereign could already produce immortal-ranked pills?” Zai Xuan’s expression turned incredibly ugly. There was still a palm imprint on his face, this was caused then when the Medicine Sovereign flung him through the air.
If the Medicine Sovereign truly had the ability to concoct immortal-ranked pills, even if it was in the outside worlds, he could just roam about and would definitely have many immortals as his good friends. If that was the case, the threat he represented to them was simply too great. Even the Sacred Emperor wouldn’t be able to suppress him.
“If one wanted to manufacture such puppets, not only must they have extremely strong forging abilities, they still had to be proficient in different fusions of true intent. With so many puppets present, it’s obvious that they were created from different grandmasters. The Medicine Sovereign amassed so many of them, could it be that he long had the intention to rebel and proclaim himself as the king of this world?” Lu Ziyan stared at Zai Xuan. She could only think of this possibility.
The position of being the hegemon truly was extremely tempting. However, if this old fellow was like what Zai Xuan said and was really able to concoct immortal-ranked pills, there should be no need for him to contest for the hegemony of this world. For alchemists that were capable of concocting immortal pills, they wouldn’t lack resources. They themselves were treasure and if they choose to join a major power, that power would undoubtedly provide a wealth of the best resources for them, nurturing them so that they would be able to walk further on the pathway of medicine.
“KILL QIN WENTIAN!” The experts of the Royal Sacred Sect were all now flustered and in a panic. A bone-chilling voice rang out as a dazzling beam of light suddenly shot towards Qin Wentian.
Behind Qin Wentian, there were already two puppets there from the start to protect him. At this moment, an immense Xuanwu (giant turtle) puppet directly placed Qin Wentian’s body beneath it, as the other devil ape puppet howled in rage. An almighty wave of sound shattered apart space, tearing the beam of light apart. The devil ape then launched an attack of his own, slamming out with his fist towards the earlier attacker.
“KILL!” That person’s countenance turned solemn. Astral light illuminated the skies, he borrowed the power of his constellation as he transformed himself into a gigantic constellation palm that shot downwards.
Terrifying rumbling sounds echoed out, at this moment, the golden dragon appeared in the clouds, unleashing a ferocious claw towards the attacker while a golden-winged roc also rushed over, smashing forth with its wings. The poor attacker’s countenance instantly paled when he realized that he was besieged from attacks in three directions.
Gritting his teeth, the gigantic constellation palm spun in all directions, trying to defend against everything. Yet, the attacking strength of those puppets were beyond his imagination, they directly smashed his body apart, wiping out his life completely.
“BANG!”
The body of the expert disintegrated. Qin Wentian stood under the gigantic Xuanwu as he stared at the battle up in the air. Their auras were so powerful, the strength of one at the peak-level of Celestial Phenomenon was not just somewhat stronger compared to third-level Ascendants. They would undoubtedly be able to insta-kill Qin Wentian if he wasn’t protected by the puppet.
“The Medicine Sovereign actually has so many treasures?” Qin Wentian was extremely shocked as he stared at the numerous tyrannical puppets in the air. It seems like the Medicine Sovereign was long prepared for this moment!
Chapter 705: Knocked Down From Their Divine Pedestal
The actions of the Medicine Sovereign today had surpassed the imaginations of everyone.
The realm spoken of in the legends, at the same level as the Sacred Emperor of the Royal Sacred Sect. Incredibly powerful combat puppets…In order to protect Qin Wentian, the Medicine Sovereign directly waged war against the Royal Sacred Sect. This was the first time after the Royal Sacred Sect dominated the world after tens of thousands of years that they faced such a serious provocation and threat. Maybe from this moment onwards, the Royal Sacred Sect might not be the hegemon of this world any longer.
From afar, among the crowd of people, even the Star River Lord of the main Star River Association had arrived.
The Star River Association always operated in the shadows. As long as they could achieve their objectives, it didn’t matter what methods they used. Qin Wentian arrived at the Sacred Royal City and since the Royal Sacred Sect wished to kill him, their Star River Association would simply sit on the fence and watch. They don’t even need to act personally. After the Royal Sacred Sect killed Qin Wentian, the Star River Association would directly point their weapons at Grand Xia and focus on the reestablishment of their branches.
However, they never expected that the Medicine Sovereign actually hid his abilities so deeply and had actually achieved the legendary realm. Not only that, upon seeing his determination to protect Qin Wentian, whoever wants to kill Qin Wentian would have to pass the trial that is him first.
“It’s not going to be easy,” The Star River Lord silently mused. However, the power the Royal Sacred Sect showed was only the tip of an iceberg.
The Royal Sacred Sect had dominated and governed this world for countless years. Other than the Core Faction, there were other factions of powers within it and they had over ten million experts. The experts which appeared here today was only a minority. They didn’t expect that they would meet such intense obstruction and suffer such losses simply to kill Qin Wentian.
In the air, Lu Ziyan watched as the scene played out. The combat puppets possessed absolute advantage and upon seeing that, she couldn’t help but to sarcastically comment,”A country bumpkin world is a country bumpkin world after all. Although many of this Ascendants have a high cultivation base, their combat prowess is inferior to these puppets. Although these puppets are all very powerful, but how would they fare against a human that’s truly strong? Sadly, it seems that your Royal Sacred Sect doesn’t even have a person of that caliber.”
The expressions of Zai Xuan who was at the side drastically changed, he had nothing to say as he observed the chaotic battle. Above in the air, the Medicine Sovereign stared at the gigantic face of the Sacred Emperor and stated,”Sacred Emperor, if we count the number of years we have lived, you can be considered my junior. Before this, I have never had any intention on going against your Royal Sacred Sect to fight for the position of hegemony yet you kept forcing my hand. Why must you do so?”
The gigantic face of the Sacred Emperor was as calm as ever, as though these losses didn’t cause any fluctuations in his heart. His eyes turned to the Medicine Sovereign,”Where did you get these puppets from?”
“You don’t have a need to know about this.” The Medicine Sovereign stood with his hands clasped behind his back as he replied faintly.
The gaze of the Sacred Emperor turned to the horizons, at this moment, several figures could be seen whistling through the air. He then spoke,”With just these puppets? I’m afraid they won’t be enough.”
These newcomers directly rushed towards the direction of the Sacred Battle Platform and instantly, those spectators from afar quickly opened up a path as they felt great trepidation in their hearts. These experts who just arrived seemed like a terrifying legion, the strongest combat unit the Royal Sacred Sect could muster. Any one of them had enough strength to cause the hearts of the crowd to tremble in fear. This was the strongest power the Core Faction was able to muster, they went all out and were prepared to pay any price to kill Qin Wentian. Or maybe more accurately, this was no longer a matter about killing Qin Wentian, it was something that would affect their position as the hegemon of this world.
If they were defeated, how would the people of this world view them?
If their Royal Sacred Sect lost to the Medicine Sovereign Valley, would the position of the hegemon change?
A gigantic sword was suddenly pulled from its sheath, as it was held in the hands of an expert, as bright light illuminated the skies. A fearsome blood-colored gigantic axe appeared in the hands of another expert causing astral light to flash as the sky changed colors.
These newly arrived experts acted in formations of seven as they rushed towards the puppets, with every seven of them joining hands to deal with one combat puppet.
Only to see that in one of the battles, seven powerful experts surrounded the golden dragon puppet. The resplendent light from their constellations was boundless as they superimposed on each other as an overwhelming destructive force bore down on the puppet. The seven of them stood in different directions as the astral light from the stacked constellations shone upon them, augmenting their might.
The golden dragon puppet howled in rage as a fearsome laceration energy ripped through the air. The puppet aim its claw towards someone in a certain direction only to see that his target suddenly transformed into a beam of light together with the other six as they shot inside the superimposed constellation. The draconic claw lashed out at the constellation causing fine cracks to appear. Yet, a moment later, the abundant astral energy immediately coated the cracks and repaired them instantly. There was no damage done at all.
“Bzz!”
In the air, a terrifying blood-colored axe cleaved down from the sky. It possessed such mighty force that the space in its surroundings was smashed apart, leaving only an arc of crimson light that cleaved downwards with inexorable momentum.
“BOOM!”
That destructive strike chopped down on the golden dragon puppet, causing its frame to violently tremble as it was forced downwards, slamming violently into the constellation.
“How about now?” Zai Xuan smiled at Lu Ziyan when he saw the battle turning.
“Seven experts as one unit, one among them becomes the controller of the superimposed constellation, combining the strength of seven into one to unleash overwhelming might. Given the fact that these people are all powerful Ascendants, I guess this strategy is not bad. However, this can’t stand for anything. Your sect is simply too weak that’s why they need to utilize such a strategy.”
Lu Ziyan slowly spoke, her gaze glanced towards Qin Wentian. It seems like this country bumpkin king is already determined on killing the most outstanding genius ever in this country bumpkin world.
If such a person fell in this remote and pathetic world, it would truly be a pity.
The battle got increasingly intense as each of the powerful combat puppets were surrounded by units of seven experts. The spectators were speechless when they saw this scene. Most probably, the Royal Sacred Sect had sent out all of their strongest experts in the battle this time around. It was simply too terrifying.
The Royal Sacred Sect wouldn’t give up until they obtain victory.
“It will truly be regretful if these wonderful puppets are destroyed.” The Sacred Emperor emotionlessly spoke, yet his eyes showed no hints of reluctance,
“BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!”
In the air, the surrounded puppets were unceasingly enduring the torrential attacks. And because of the arrival of these experts, those weaker Ascendants of the Royal Sacred Sect found themselves freed from combat. At this moment, their gazes involuntarily turned towards Qin Wentian.
“Kill him.” An extremely cold voice rang out as numerous experts dashed towards Qin Wentian from different directions, unleashing their killing intent. However, the Xuanwu Puppet was still there protecting Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stared at the onslaught of experts rushing him as an ice-cold light flashed in his eyes. However at this moment, the Xuanwu merely reached out with an enormous claw and grabbed onto Qin Wentian, covering him up completely. This made Qin Wentian speechless, just a single claw from this giant turtle was sufficient to enveloped him completely, making it so that he couldn’t see the combat outside, he could only hear the noises.
“RUMBLE!”
Numerous streams of fearsome attacks lashed against the giant turtle, shaking the skies with their combined might. Yet, although the sounds were thunderous, there was not a trace of damage to the Xuanwu puppet. There wasn’t even a single scratch on its shell.
The immense Xuanwu lifted its head and at this moment, a long lance containing overwhelming power pierced right into its eye, yet it was unable to break through it. All of a sudden, the puppet drew in breath and spat a breath of ice-cold qi outwards, instantly freezing the attacker, transforming him into an ice statue.
It’s snake-like tail then swept out as a clear sound of ice shattering rang out, causing the expert frozen within to be smashed into pieces.
“This…” The eyes of the Sacred Emperor narrowed as he stared at the ice-cold qi that radiated from the giant turtle.
The Xuanwu moved again, causing rumbling sounds to echo in the air. It wrenched its maw open and drew in large breaths in a frenzy as it breathed out once more. Instantly as the extremely cold qi radiated outwards, everything in its nearby surroundings including the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect and the puppets they were attacking, were all frozen solid.
Time seemed to halt as everything became ice statues. This world suddenly became a world of ice and frost.
It’s huge tail swept out once more as a terrifying destructive energy permeated the air, shooting in all directions. Under the stunned gazes of the crowd, the bodies of the experts shattered, leaving only the combat puppets undamaged.
In a single instant, tens of experts from the Royal Sacred Sect died.
“Icy Underworld Immortal Qi, you…” The expression of the gigantic face of the Sacred Emperor in the air drastically changed. His eyes turned red as he glared at the Xuanwu puppet. It was simply a killing machine, there was no expert from the Royal Sacred Sect who could stand up to it.
“Retreat!”
The remaining experts swiftly retreated, all of them were extremely powerful Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. Such a scene couldn’t help to make the hearts of many pound in intensity.
Was this the strength of the Royal Sacred Sect? As the hegemon of this world, they indeed had transcendent strength that was enough to suppress this world. Yet today, they were defeated in the hands of the combat puppets of the Medicine Sovereign.
Especially that Xuanwu puppet at the end, this caused many to have a bold hypothesis in their hearts. Was that an immortal-ranked puppet?
Against such power, even peak-level Ascendants couldn’t withstand a single strike. They were simply not enough.
The experts in the air fled with great speed, all of them were people of the Royal Sacred Sect. The strongest legion they could muster was defeated today. This would definitely affect their status and from now on, the Royal Sacred Sect was not the only hegemon in this world.
At the start, Qin Wentian defeated opponents two cultivation levels higher than him, and after that, the combat puppets of the Medicine Sovereign defeated the legion of the Royal Sacred Sect. Today, the Royal Sacred Sect had truly been knocked down from their divine pedestal!
Chapter 706: Visitors From The Outside Worlds
The face of the Sacred Emperor was still present in the air. He narrowed his eyes which gleamed with cold light as he stared at the Medicine Sovereign, no longer able to maintain the calmness he had earlier.
“What now?” The Medicine Sovereign laughed as he looked at the Sacred Emperor. His squinty eyes exuded traces of mocking within.
“Medicine Sovereign, you have truly hidden yourself very well.” The Medicine Sovereign coldly spoke.”However, do you really think these are enough? My Royal Sacred Sect has reigned supreme for over tens of thousands of years and there are naturally previous Sacred Emperors that had joined other powers when roaming the outside worlds.”
The people below inclined their heads and stared at the enormous face in the air. This was the first time they personally heard the Sacred Emperor speaking. And, the topic was regarding the outside worlds.
The Royal Sacred Sect didn’t only have a single Sacred Emperor, there were generations of them.
“The outside worlds, what sort of places are those?” Many had looks of anticipation in their eyes. Just the world they are in already had so many experts, not to mention how vast the other worlds are.
“Generations of Sacred Emperors? How great an achievement could they have? As for you talking about them joining other powers, they are most probably powers on the ordinary tier, nothing special about them.” The Medicine Sovereign laughed coldly.”The things which happen here today happened only because your Royal Sacred Sect kept forcing my hands. With nothing in your eyes, viewing the lives of those in this world as your playthings. Since this is the case, my Medicine Sovereign Valley can only stand out. From today onwards, not only will my Medicine Sovereign Valley open our doors and recruit talents, we will also be relocating to the Sacred Royal City.”
“Very well, just wait and see.” The Sacred Emperor’s reply was laced with ice. A storm was soon approaching. An instant later, the enormous face vanished as though it had never been here before.
At this moment, the experts from the Royal Sacred Sect all withdrew and departed from the Sacred Battle Platform. This was once a sacred place controlled by the Royal Sacred Sect for battles of monstrous geniuses. But now, it has fallen under the control of the Medicine Sovereign Valley. Those puppets were still gleaming with light, exuding a otherworldly chill.
Qin Wentian stood atop the shell of the Xuanwu. Before this, through a slight opening in the Xuanwu’s claws, Qin Wentian witnessed everything. He felt great shock in his heart, this puppet in charge of his protection could actually breath out immortal qi? This level of power should be at that of the Sacred Emperor and Medicine Sovereign already right? No matter which Ascendants it was, there was no way they would be able to survive its attack.
“Let’s go.” The Medicine Sovereign lowered his head and smiled at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded, as the experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley put away the puppets and departed the Sacred Battle Platform. Even after a long moment, the people present here were still unable to regain their calmness.
The news of the Medicine Sovereign Valley fighting against the Royal Sacred Sect soon spread around the world in an extremely short span of time, giving rise to a terrifying storm of commotion.
After which, the Medicine Sovereign Valley actually purchased a vast piece of land in the eastern area of the Sacred Royal City while using numerous workers that are stellar martial cultivators for construction. Very swiftly, palaces and halls sprang up in the area. The speed of construction was unbelievably quick.
There was no need to doubt the construction speed for someone that’s skilled in cultivation. For example, an expert who comprehended the Mandate of Great Earth could easily transform the landscape and cause buildings to rise up and be more sturdy; for those that comprehended the Mandate of Water, they could easily create rivers and streams; for those that comprehended the Mandate of Fire, they could smelt materials for usage and create false mountains and peaks; for those that comprehended the Mandate of Plants, they can cause the area to be filled with lively greenery, exuding an abundance of vitality.
The Medicine Sovereign Valley was a reclusive sect and had always been mysterious. But even so, although the number of their members might not be a lot in comparison to the Royal Sacred Sect, there were still several of them who were each skilled in different Mandates. Under the circumstances where they all moved out, a majestic sight soon awaited everyone after a mere three days. There were even plenty of medicinal gardens within, surrounded by man-made mountains and peaks as the fragrance of medical plants and spiritual roots flooded the air. All these, were transplanted by the members of the Medicine Sovereign Valley.
In this magnificent scenery, Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng stood there, admiring the sight.
“What skill. The new place is just like the old Medicine Sovereign Valley.” Qin Wentian smiled. Mo Qingcheng nodded,”Master had issued the order for them to construct it according to the blueprints of the old Medicine Sovereign Valley, this is why everything looks the same. However, even though the area the sect is now situated in is the luxurious and lively Sacred Royal City, the atmosphere within the sect is the same as before, like that of a hermit.”
“Mhm,” Qin Wentian nodded and laughed.
“The Royal Sacred Sect would definitely not rest after their earlier failure. And not only that, since master relocated the Medicine Sovereign Valley to this place, this is an act of extreme provocation that they won’t be able to ignore. The Sacred Emperor must be thinking about destroying the Medicine Sovereign Valley even in his dreams. But I have no idea what master’s intentions are.” Mo Qingcheng’s face flashed with puzzlement. Her master was actually an existence at the fabled legendary realm. He was getting more and more unfathomable.”
“Also, there’s a piece of news currently circulating around in the Sacred Royal City. There might be a supreme existence from the outside worlds coming here to accept a disciple. The commotion this created is beyond belief, I wonder if this is true or false.” Mo Qingcheng continued.
“A supreme existence, how strong is he exactly?” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. In comparison to that, what was the level the Sacred Emperor and the Medicine Sovereign at?
“Master has brought this up before. He said that if the rumor is real, you better work hard to procure the opportunity. If you can become the disciple of a supreme existence, the Royal Sacred Sect would respectfully knock on your doors to apologize, even the Sacred Emperor has to lower his head. Maybe, just a breath of air spat from the mouth of the supreme existence would be able to slay existences like the Sacred Emperor.” Mo Qingcheng had an expression of interest on her face. She then grinned and continued,”Wentian, if you succeed in becoming a disciple of such a supreme existence, at the time when the experts from the Royal Sacred Sect come to my Medicine Sovereign Valley to apologize, just let them wait outside and don’t allow them to enter.”
“How can it be so easy? Anyway that’s just a rumor, we still don’t know if it’s true or not.” Qin Wentian stared at the mischievous expression on Mo Qingcheng’s face as he smiled and pinched her face.
“Since there are such rumors, I think there’s a high possibility that it wouldn’t be unfounded.” Mo Qingcheng stated.
“In that case, I would have to work hard to raise my strength before having a chance to be accepted by the supreme power.” Qin Wentian held on to Mo Qingcheng’s hand as they walked out. After which, they appeared inside a cave of the mountains. Qin Wentian sat there cross-legged while Mo Qingcheng sat in the other direction, with a gentle smile on her face when she gazed at Qin Wentian’s back. She didn’t disturb Qin Wentian.
In Qin Wentian’s inner world, astral light flashed resplendently. He was in the midst of a starry sky with numerous constellations around him. Particles of a fused force circulated around him, exuding a fearsome destructive might.
With an intention of will, the particles condensed before separating into four smaller versions which contained an individual true intent in them. Namely: Dream, Force, Demon and Sword.
At the same time, a brand new energy permeated the air. This kind of energy radiated an intense light and projected an aura of suppression. The energy then coalesced into a gigantic word character of ancient times – Suppression.
With a wave of his hand, that word character wavered as an overwhelming suppressive might blasted out in all directions. It was so powerful that even this space felt like it would be smashed apart.
“I comprehended four true intents before stepping into Celestial Phenomenon. Now that I’ve broken through, it’s so much easier to comprehend the true intent of a new Mandate.” Qin Wentian murmured. No wonder there were some who pursued the peak in only a single-type of power. They wanted to use that first to step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm before comprehending the true intents of other Mandates. This way, the degree of difficulty would be significantly lower.
However, there would be flaws if one chose to do this. Their foundations would be shaky.
Unlike Qin Wentian, he had already comprehended four kinds of intent and fused them together to condense his constellation which resulted in him having a incomparably deep foundation. Hence, when he condensed a new astral soul and gained a new Mandate, it only took him a very short period of time before he comprehended the true intent of his new Mandate.
Five particles of true intent floated in the starry sky, circulating above Qin Wentian’s head. Qin Wentian silently contemplated, trying to find a way to fuse a brand new energy together,
If he mixed suppression, force and sword. It should be easier because suppression and force are both similar Mandates.
Qin Wentian tested out his theories as he tried a number of fusions in order to create a fused energy that best suited him.
Because he already had experience in the fusion of true intent, it wasn’t that difficult for him. But somehow, it was difficult for the might contained within to exceed that of his previous fusion. At most, it was just a little more powerful compared his Illusory Demonforce, but it still lost out to the fused energy used to condense his Dreamworld Constellation.
Also, to Qin Wentian, the constellation he hoped to condense shouldn’t be formed from a simple fusion of true intents. He should use his new astral soul as a base to experiment with fusion, hoping to create a fused power of incredible might.
Time slowly passed by, Qin Wentian remained immersed in his cultivation. Occasionally, he would furrow his brows before a look of enlightenment flashed past his face. But even so, his eyes remained closed, as he continued with what he was doing.
Mo Qingcheng sat in the cavern staring at the changing expressions of Qin Wentian. Right now, an adorable and mischievous smile could be seen on her face as she stared at Qin Wentian.
In the external world, the raging storm had yet to cease. The waves created by the battle between the Royal Sacred Sect and the Medicine Sovereign Valley hadn’t settled down yet. Many were discussing this matter and at the same time, a piece of news circulated around the Royal Sacred Region saying that there would be a supreme expert from the outside worlds coming here in hopes of accepting a disciple.
Today, in an inn in the Sacred Royal City, the top-most floor was open-air. Many were sitting there chatting and enjoying their wine. And at this moment, there was one who raised his wine cup, intending to drink it; yet his hand froze in the air as great terror flickered in his eyes when he stared up in the air.
“Brother You, what’s the matter?” Someone asked. However, that person didn’t reply. The others too inclined their heads and stared in the direction he was staring.
To their immense shock. They only saw that right now, there were several figures who seemed to descend here by breaking through the dome of heaven. There was even one among them riding on a golden jiao, with a long golden spear in his hand, exuding an incomparable imposingness.
“Experts from the outside worlds!” A person mumbled and as the sound of his voice faded, everyone present all inclined their heads, staring dumbfoundedly at the sight of the unending number of experts that descended to their world in different directions. Each and every one of them had an extraordinary bearing, and seemed to be the chosen of the heavens.
“Experts from the outside worlds, these must be experts from the outside worlds! Could it be that the rumor was real?!”
