Jun Mengchen’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. Wanting to contend for the dao element’s inheritance, he had to become the one and only by defeating everyone else.
“Don’t worry brother. There won’t be many that are a match for me.” Jun Mengchen didn’t really mind it as he casually replied.
“Don’t be too careless. By depending on my emperor’s fate, I can sense the energy within the dao elements. The energy within all the dao elements are actually all-encompassing. Your physique has an affinity with this world-type dao element, and although others might cultivate different law-attributes from you, they might still be able to comprehend this dao element. After all, elite immortal kings are everywhere here, and there are even immortal emperors although they are in a different space.” Qin Wentian reminded.
“Right.” Jun Mengchen nodded. “Senior brother what about you? With so much emperor’s fate and given how high your comprehension is, don’t you plan to gain the inheritance of a dao element? Or do you want to comprehend as many as you can?”
“The attributes in the dao elements would reject each other, only one can be selected ultimately.” Qin Wentian calmly replied. During these days, this was something he had comprehended. Jun Mengchen’s eyes flickered, feeling somewhat taken aback.
“Since that’s the case, what will be your choice?” Jun Mengchen asked.
“I won’t accept the inheritance from any dao elements or I would have to be binded by the rules of the City of Ancient Emperors. I will only depend on my emperor’s fate to comprehend as many insights as I can by forming a resonance with the radiance exuded by the respective dao elements but I won’t cultivate the respective inheritances.” Qin Wentian spoke. Depending on his emperor’s fate, his senses with regards to comprehending the radiance by the dao elements was much more clearer.
Among the dao elements, there are those of the buddha-path, spatial, samsara, world…each and every kind of dao element possessed an all-encompassing energy, terrifying to the extreme. Once you completely cultivated the inheritance, you would be restricted and had to be bound by the rules of the city. Only by defeating those who contend against you for it, would you truly be able to possess it.
If it was about tens of years ago, no one would have thought that the City of Ancient Emperors would be so terrifying. But now, since the rules of the city have changed, everyone in the immortal realms began to believe the rumors that spread long ago. This era, would be an era where ancient emperors are born. It was only a matter of time.
Hence, everyone felt that time was tight and wanted to grow stronger as fast as possible, and naturally obstructing others if there’s a chance.
“Mhm, senior brother, your talent is peerless. You definitely can embark on a path no one has done before.” Just like before, Jun Mengchen was extremely confident in Qin Wentian.
“Mengchen, right now there are many people in the City of Ancient Emperors paying attention to me. Don’t mix with me so frequently, you should change location and continue with your cultivation.” Qin Wentian stated. Jun Mengchen nodded. He then stood up and prepared to speed away. “Senior brother, we must both stand at the peak of the immortal realms one day.”
After speaking, his silhouette flashed as he soared into the air.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes as he silently comprehended the insights he gained, ignoring all external matters and grudges.
However, although the leaves of the tree wanted to stay still, how would the wind care about it? The fame brought by defeating the Yama King was too great, resulting in him generating shocking amounts of emperor’s fate. There would naturally be other supreme characters who wanted to copy his method. Right now, everyone in the city knew about how the Saber-Sword Immortal King gained so much emperor’s fate. As long as they could defeat him, they would be able to replace him and stand among the supreme elites at the peak of the city.
Today, a supreme peak-stage immortal king came by. Lightning crackled around him, the sky changed color as he stared at Qin Wentian, brimming with a fierce intent to do battle.
“You are the Saber-Sword Immortal King?” This expert stared at Qin Wentian, his voice booming out like thunder.
“Scram.” Qin Wentian’s eyes were still close as he replied.
“Indeed, as arrogant as the rumors. Saber-Sword Immortal King, this seat comes from the Thunder God Hall. I wish to test your strength.” That expert spoke. Peals of thunder rained down, causing the earth in the surroundings to crack.
“Bzz~” A mysterious energy suddenly bore down on him. In an instant, this immortal king from the Thunder God Hall frowned. He discovered that he was in a separate space now, no longer on a mountain.
“An illusory space?” His eyes flashed. Lightning and thunder churned wildly, sweeping through everything. But at this moment, a sword qi river that flowed endlessly appeared, engulfing this entire space. He roared in rage. The thunder and lightning in the area transformed into numerous terrifying thunder dragons as he sought to fight back, causing the sky to change color from his display of power.
“Pu chi…” Streams of sword intent pierced through the dragons easily. In the next instant, a hole opened up in his forehead as he was slaughtered.
In the external world, faraway from the mountain peak which Qin Wentian was cultivating at, several experts were using their immortal sense to observe this battle. When they saw this scene, their hearts pounded intensely. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was too overwhelmingly strong. They only saw the Thunder God Hall’s immortal king roaring and Qin Wentian didn’t even move. In fact, he didn’t even open his eyes. In the next instant, a hole opened up in the forehead of the challenger who was a supreme peak-stage immortal king and he died right after that. Such a scene brought too much of an impact to them.
“The Saber-Sword Immortal King can’t be offended.” Many people silently mused as they retracted their immortal senses and left the area. They no longer dared to spy on Qin Wentian. If they wanted to establish their fame by using Qin Wentian as a stepping stone, they had to make the preparations well or they would fall here. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was ruthless and wouldn’t give you any chance to retreat. You would die as long as you acted against him.
Given the sort of character the Saber-Sword Immortal King was, he even dared to kill the supreme crown prince of Senluo, the Yama King. Who else would he still not dared to kill? If he spared those people who went to challenge him, it would only result in more and more people challenging him. Clearly, he wanted to intimidate everyone by showing his strength. Challengers had to be prepared to die should they wanted to challenge him.
And as expected, such a scene stunned many experts, allowing Qin Wentian to be able to continue to quietly cultivate. At this point of time, more changes occured in the boundlessly vast City of Ancient Emperors as more and more ancient ruins appeared. In fact, there were even hints of ancient emperors in some of these ruins, which caused the entire city to sink in a fervor.
This made many wonder. These ancient ruins should have existed all alone but were hidden away. Right now, to coincide with the arrival of the new grand era, all these ancient ruins finally started to surface.
However, all of this didn’t affect Qin Wentian. He seemed to be a transcendent being, not bothered at all with the changes in the City of Ancient Emperors as he cultivated alone.
Today, there was finally someone who couldn’t endure any longer and came to challenge Qin Wentian. It was a peak-stage demon king, a royal greater demon. However, his ending was the same as the previous challenger, slain mercilessly by Qin Wentian. Those who wished to use him as a stepping stone will all be killed by him with no exceptions.
Time flowed by but gradually, for those true supreme elites that stand at the peak, they were like transcendent beings, outside the ‘system.’ They didn’t contend against anyone, but nobody was able to replace their position. These existences gradually became the symbols of the City of Ancient Emperors. Among them, the name of the Saber-Sword Immortal King was actually within. All of them stopped participating in disputes or fought against the others. They were focused on comprehending the dao elements from the radiances they exuded instead, working hard to raise their strength further.
Another twenty years passed since the Saber-Sword Immortal King killed the Yama King. During these twenty years, many extraordinary characters appeared. But even so, none of them were able to challenge the positions of those who stood at the peak.
However, although they weren’t able to challenge those characters at the peak, no one can deny that more and more extraordinary characters were appearing. Numerous experts broke through, many mid-stage immortal kings became peak-stage immortal kings, and even more initial-stage experts broke through to the mid-stage.
In the last ten years, there was another batch of legendary characters who appeared. For example, Jun Mengchen who comprehended the world force dao element. His strength was unordinary, he had unrivaled combat prowess. It was like he only lacked a single step before his name was listed along with those true supreme elites that stood at the peak.
Hua Taixu was also in this group. He had also comprehended a dao element and seemed to have completely transformed overnight. His comprehensions was exceptionally deep and his cultivation base had reached the peak-phase of the mid-stage immortal king. He became famous because not that long ago, he killed a bunch of greater demons. These demons were naturally from the Desolate Mountains, and they were actually of royal blood, from the Sun Gold Demonic Race.
Hua Taixu, with his mid-stage immortal king cultivation, slayed over ten powerful greater royal demons that were at the peak-stage of the demon king realm of the Sun Gold Race in the span of a single night. This battle caused his name to resound famously throughout the City of Ancient Emperors, as his emperor’s fate turned more majestic. Right now, he was being hunted by those peak existences of the Sun Gold Race within the City of Ancient Emperors.
It was rumored that the reason was because of a beautiful maiden. The Myriad Manifestations Immortal King died in the hands of a greater demon from the Sun Gold Race. This was why he suddenly went crazy and went on a killing spree.
Other than this, a heaven-devouring beast appeared in the City of Ancient Emperors, but this heaven-devouring beast wasn’t imposing at all. It was extremely ‘unique,’ lecherous and shameless, loving to act as an adorable little demon that constantly jumped into the embrace of the goddess of the nine-tailed demon fox race. Also, when he saw any beautiful woman, he would instantly befriend them. He caused many greater demons to be enraged and want to kill him. However, his strength was truly extraordinary, and many greater demons at the peak-stage of the demon king realm actually couldn’t even withstand a single strike from him, all ended up being devoured. His shameless personality soon circulated around the City of Ancient Emperors.
During these last ten years, more and more dao elements appeared in the sky, allowing people of the city to comprehend them.
At this moment, in a certain area within the city, a group of beautiful immortal kings could be seen. They surrounded a single person, as though wanting to protect her. That person sat cross-legged, exuding a holy aura akin to a goddess. In the air, the light cascading down from a dao element ceaselessly rained down on her, flowing into her body, causing her charm and beauty to intensify.
There were many other immortal kings in the surroundings. Some had looks of admiration in their eyes, some had killing intent, some had nefarious thoughts, wanting her body. These were all people who could comprehend the dao element she was cultivating. They wanted to kill this maiden off.
This dao element, was actually a spatial law dao element.
“Who is she?” Someone asked. “Being able to obtain recognition of a dao element with a mid-stage immortal king cultivation. There weren’t many of such people, she should be someone famous.”
“She’s the princess of the Evergreen Empire, Evergreen Qing`er, the doted daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. She has an innate immortal king physique and was gifted in the laws of space. It’s rumored that she’s extremely sensitive to spatial energy and this was how she gained the recognition of the spatial dao element.”
“Given her background, her beauty, and her talent, she would definitely attract many suitors.” Another person sighed.
“Evergreen Qing`er already has a fiance. Back then, this matter caused a great commotion that shook the entire immortal realms.”
“Who is it?”
“Qin Wentian from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, the successor of Ancient Emperor Yi.”
“I’ve never heard of this man before. He don’t seem to be very famous in the City of Ancient Emperors?” A person puzzledly stated.
“I also feel that it’s strange. Given Qin Wentian’s personality and his reputation, he should have came to the City of Ancient Emperors. However, he didn’t appear here and seemed to have vanished completely. This matter is truly strange. One must know that in the past, he was a person who ascended to the peak of the Demongod Mountain. Old Devil Duotian and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wanted to kill him but he was sent away by the Southern Phoenix Matriarch.”
“Oh, I remember now. Maybe he was worried that many people wanted revenge as he has offended too many peak powers. Right now, the elite immortal kings of all major powers are in the city. If Qin Wentian really appeared here, they would definitely group up to kill him.”
Many people discussed about the topic, their gazes were fixed on Qing`er, feeling awe at her beauty!
