All the figures stared at the ancient path in the sky. From behind, more and more experts arrived and when those who just arrived saw the scene before them, their hearts and souls couldn’t help but shudder.
What’s even more terrifying was that they have not reached the end of the ancient path yet. It felt like this ancient pathway could really allow one to pass through starry space that was without end, acting as a bridge that connected the mortal world to the nine heavenly layers.
For the person who created this ancient pathway, how high must his cultivation base be?
At this moment, numerous figures soared into the air, flying towards the constellations. In the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, they had visited many particle worlds and entered many astral mines. It was said that the Yuan Meteor Stones and the various ranked cultivation stones all existed because they fell from the constellations in the sky. And now, they were actually only a step away from the constellations in the nine heavenly layers.
“It’s rumored that there are heavenly deities who spent countless years to explore the starry space, seeking the path to reach the nine heavenly layers. Who would have thought that the answer to that lies in Heaven Vault.” An expert exclaimed in shock. In the ancient records of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there were a few people who have succeeded before. These were all heavenly deities with extremely resolute wills. They wanted to see for themselves the nine heavenly layers personally. However, it was rumored that they had to spend countless years before they could reach there.
Only a relative few heavenly deities had determination strong enough to achieve this. To heavenly deities, their perception could already reach the nine heavenly layers. There was no need for them to waste countless years to explore the starry space. Or maybe, only when one reached a certain level, for heavenly deities who wished to seek a higher realm, would they have such thoughts.
But now, all of them actually arrived here. Who could control their emotions and not cause their hearts to tremble?
“Nichang, let’s go towards the sea of constellations.” Qin Dangtian walked to Goddess Nichang’s side. Goddess Nichang was staring at the ancient pathway. Did her father die on it.
“You can go ahead.” Goddess Nichang softly spoke, her beautiful eyes still staring at the ancient pathway.
“Alright then. Send a voice transmission to me if anything happens.” Qin Dangtian nodded. After that, his silhouette flashed as he soared towards the constellations.
“Senior brother, I also feel like taking a look there.” Jun Mengchen’s heart thrummed with desire. No matter who it was, they wouldn’t be able to endure the thirst in their hearts for their constellations. After all, their astral souls which were manifested from the constellations in the nine heavenly layers were the origin of their cultivations.
“Go on ahead, search for the constellations you want to find.” Qin Wentian nodded. “Uncle Yu, you should go as well. This is a type of good fortune.”
“Mhm.” Qi Yu nodded. Qi Yu then soared into the air. After that, Qin Wentian also flew towards the constellations, with the intention of seeking a specific one.
All the experts here respectively flew in different directions, wanting to probe the secrets of their constellations.
“How did you guys arrive at this place?” At this moment, a thunderous voice rang out through the air. In the starry space, a gigantic face appeared. An instant later, rumbling might permeated the atmosphere, causing the expressions of everyone to be filled with shock and fear. The gigantic face was actually even larger than the constellations. It was simply too frightening.
“Senior, we came here through the Heaven Vault.” Someone replied. This person who replied was a heavenly deity but even so, he still addressed the gigantic face as senior. From this, one could tell how powerful the gigantic face was.
“I naturally know that you guys come from the pathway in the Heaven Vault. However, how can the path of godsfall be so easily traversed? The vast majority of you basically aren’t worthy to come here at all.” That figure spoke coldly. “Once, I had to give everything up before I can reached the end of the Heaven Vault Pathway to arrive here. I even narrowly died. But you guys came here so easily? How did you all manage to do so?”
Evidently, this person felt extremely unhappy about it.
The hearts of everyone trembled. This expert should be an ancient heavenly deity who came here to probe the secret of Heaven Vault.
“I brought them here.” At this moment, another voice drifted through the air. The white-robed figure stood among the stars. His figure appeared very tiny before the gigantic face but as he stood there, everyone could clearly see him.
“Who are you? Why are you doing this? Are you trying to destroy the rules of Heaven Vault?” The gigantic face coldly asked.
“Since there is such a place like this that can allow cultivators of the world to come in contact with a higher level of cultivation, allowing them to gain deeper insights from the original sources, why is there a need to lock the ancient pathway leading to here?” The white-robed young man calmly spoke. Clearly, he felt that the ancient pathway should be free for everyone to enter.
“What an individual with a magnanimous heart. In that case, what did all the sacrifices I made back then count for? Since they originally wouldn’t be able to reach here without your help, I want them all to die!” The gigantic face coldly spoke. As the sound of his voice faded, terror filled the hearts of everyone. This ancient heavenly deity actually wanted their lives.
“What if I disagree?” That white-robed figure calmly asked.
“You should go to hell then.” The gigantic face replied. In the next instant, the gigantic face fused itself to a constellation. The light radiating from the constellation directly engulfed the young man in white. After that, the power of the great dao flooded out, wanting to destroy the white-robed young man.
“Since this is the case, I will strip everything from you.” The white-robed young man watched everything calmly. He took a step out, allowing the radiance from the constellation to engulf him freely yet no matter what the ancient heavenly deity did, he wasn’t able to injure the white-robed young man at all. The crowd saw the white-robed figure directly speeding forward towards the gigantic face that has fused with the constellation.
“GO AND DIE!” The ancient heavenly deity roared in rage. Overwhelming amounts of destructive might gushed forth as the entirety of astral energy within the constellation was released. Streaks of flowing light that could penetrate everything shot out with great speed yet they were unable to pierce the white-robed young man’s body. The white-robed young man merely calmly raised a finger and pointed it at the constellation.
In the next moment, a beam of light that could tear the world asunder blasted into the gigantic face that was fused with the constellation. At this moment, under the gazes filled with terror of everyone here, cracks actually appeared on the constellation, gradually widening as the gigantic face contorted in pain and agony. He howled in disbelief, “No, this is impossible! I can control this constellation, and I’ve already fused with it. How did you do this?!”
“I can control everything in this universe. Your heart isn’t worthy to obtain the dao.” The white-robed figure stated. In the next moment, the constellation shattered as countless numbers of ever-widening cracks spread through the constellation. It transformed into many fragments of rocks that fell down from the air.
“NO!” That person let out a howl of despair. He had cultivated here for many years, was he going to die so easily like this? No, he didn’t want to accept this!
On the ancient heaven vault pathway, all the experts who were flying to their respective constellations all personally witnessed this scene. Great waves of shock filled their hearts, this shock was something indescribable by words.
In this world, there actually was an expert who could shatter a constellation with a single finger.
He said that he could control everything in this universe.
He said that the heart of that man wasn’t worthy enough to obtain the dao. Hence, he acted. Using a single finger to shatter the constellation.
At this moment, even heavenly deities here had the urge to prostrate themselves at his feet in worship. If they were deities, what sort of existence was the white-robed young man? Could he be a godking? A king among deities, the lord of everything.
Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath. This mysterious white-robed young man he met in the legendary place of the sacred academy was actually so powerful to this extent. It was like he had already transcended everything. When would he be able to reach this level?
He said he could control this universe. He also once told him that humans can triumph over the heavens, the heavenly dao was merely a type of power from humans. Were constellations the origin of everyone’s strength? But, he could shatter a constellation with a single finger.
“There are already many astral miens in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. With that strike earlier, I’m afraid even more astral mines would appear in the near future. Could it be that all astral mines were born like this?” Qin Wentian felt somewhat ridiculous, this sounded a little impossible. If one were to say that experts in the past eras fought among the sea of stars and the aftershocks of their battles caused constellations to shatter, allowing fragments of the constellations to become astral mines in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, it might still be somewhat plausible. But shattering a constellation with a single finger? From the past up until now, there shouldn’t be any case like this, right?
“This is the cultivation realm I wish to attain.” Qin Dangtian stared at the white-robed figure. At this moment, a wild look of yearning could be seen in his eyes. If he reached such a level, who in the world would still be qualified to be his enemy? He would probably be able to proclaim himself king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms – the Supreme Ancient Godking.
All the experts here clenched their fists tightly. It seemed that the heavenly deity realm wasn’t the limit. The path of the great dao was still very long.
After the white-robed young man shattered the constellation, his figure flashed as he departed the area. He exuded an air of casualness and was graceful as ever like everything in the world was so simple to him, able to be solved with the effort exerted by a single finger.
Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath as he continued flying towards his target constellation. His purpose was the same as Jian Junlai, they both wanted to seek out sword-form constellations. However, when Qin Wentian flew near, he could feel a startling sword might gushing forth from the constellation, wanting to slash him apart.
Once, when he depended on his perception to condense astral souls from the constellations in the heavenly layers, he could feel the immense pressure exerted by the constellations. But now, it was his true body that approached the constellations. The heaviness of the pressure he felt was countless times more intense. With an intention of his will, he absorbed a strand of astral light that was radiating from that constellation. Although he wasn’t going to condense an astral soul from this sword-form constellation, even that he was at such a close distance, he could still absorb sword-attributed energy from this.
The closer he flew, the more intense the sword intent from the constellation was. Qin Wentian faintly sensed that the dao of swords could be comprehended here. But naturally, the closer he got to it, the more dangerous things would be.
“When sensing the constellation using perception when we are so far below it, the feeling truly cannot be compared to right now when we are sensing the constellation’s energy with our true bodies.” Qin Wentian silently mused. A corona of sword light revolved around him. He allowed the sword rivers formed from sword energy of the constellation to cascade down onto his body, but they weren’t able to pierce through him.
Finally, Qin Wentian’s body arrived on top of the constellation. Every inch of the constellation’s body contained shocking sword intent that faintly hinted at the dao of swords!
