During the next tens of years, many changes occurred in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. During these years, the attention of most people was fixed on Heaven Vault. And even now, there were still countless experts gathered at Boundless City of the Heaven Region, including many experts from the peak powers were still in the Gods Extinction Path and seemed to have vanished completely. Someone claimed that these experts would have miraculous encounters, others claimed that those experts might have died within.
Naturally, all of these could only be verified through time.
In the Gods Extinction Path, the heavenly deities from the Qin Clan were still fleeing for their lives. Up ahead, there was a terrifying spatial storm. As long as one was drawn into it, even heavenly deities would be torn into pieces. Also, the chaotic currents produced by the spatial storm does not follow any law or order. They could only escape as far as possible. During these tens of years, they didn’t have a single miraculous encounter in the Gods Extinction Path, let alone uncovering any secrets. Their steps were dogged by danger and not long ago, one of the heavenly deities among them just died.
This was already the second heavenly deity that had lost his life. The first who died was the one killed by Qin Tiangang.
What made them terrified was that even up until now, they couldn’t find any path to exit. Gods Extinction Path, they finally understood the meaning of Gods Extinction. They felt some regret in entering here so impulsively.
“Clan leader, is there still no way to contact the outside world?” A heavenly deity asked. Qin Zheng nodded with an unsightly expression on his face.
“Nothing will happen to us. Maybe, we can cultivate here while thinking of ways to escape. The laws of time and space are easier to perceive inside here.” Qin Dangtian’s expression was solemn. He was Heaven’s Son, no matter how cruel the environment was, he would still be able to survive. In addition, his will only grew even stronger.
“Dang`er, you are right. You are the chosen of heaven. The Gods Extinction Path definitely won’t be able to take your life, this trial would only make you stronger and stronger.” Qin Zheng’s wife calmly spoke. Although she was a female, she was the mother of the Qin Clan. Her will was naturally stronger compared to many people. It was just that right now, her radiance had dimmed somewhat after suffering in the Gods Extinction Path.
“Maybe, we can only truly find out the secret here if our cultivations reach a certain realm.” Qin Zheng mumbled. They continued to struggle in the dark void of the Gods Extinction Path. Other than them, many heavenly deities of the other peak powers were also in here. For example, the Qiankun Sect Leader, Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, etc.
The Sword Monarch of the Mystic Region was here, Hua Taixu had also entered.
Yue Changkong too. In the past, he didn’t manage to locate Qin Wentian despite camping outside. After that, he received news that Qin Wentian had appeared in Heaven Vault, hence, he didn’t hesitate to enter. But when he entered, Qin Wentian was already forced into the Gods Extinction Path by his enemies. Hence, Yue Changkong entered as well and was now trapped in the Gods Extinction Path.
However, he wasn’t afraid at all. On the contrary, he felt happy. Within the Gods Extinction Path, if he encountered some of the more senior heavenly deities, if he met with strong ones, he would seek their guidance. But if he met with weak ones…he would absorb everything from them. As for the danger inside, so what of it? This body didn’t belong to him. It wasn’t so easy for him to die. He would only grow stronger and stronger inside the Gods Extinction Path.
Today, Qin Wentian finally exited the world of reincarnation in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. His aura seemed changed, the spacetime of the world of reincarnation was different from the outside world. Back then although they spent a lifetime inside the world of reincarnation, only a short amount of time passed on the outside. But this time around, tens of years had passed on the outside. Qin Wentian already had several lifetimes in the world of reincarnation and comprehended many many different kinds of law attributes. However, when he left the world of reincarnation, all his cultivation was reverted back to the past but his memories and insights gained during comprehension, still remained fresh in his mind. They wouldn’t vanish. This was similar to Yue Changkong’s experience. In the outside world, he still depended on the insights he gained in the world of reincarnation to produce a new evil art based on the principles of the old one.
After Qin Wentian exited the world of reincarnation, he went to pay his respects to the heavenly deities of the sacred academy. The Lifegovern Heavenly Deity and Goddess Dugu both sighed with emotions in their heart when they saw Qin Wentian. The people of the younger generations would always replace the older ones. This young man who entered the true legendary place in the world of reincarnation, might very well be one of the most talented students of the academy in this generation. He was currently walking on his own legendary path although currently, his ‘name’ in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wasn’t that good.
In a certain location with beautiful scenery in the sacred academy, Goddess Dugu’s beauty was unparalleled. When Qin Wentian bid his farewell, and was flying away, she suddenly asked, “In the past, what did you do after you abducted Goddess Nichang?”
Qin Wentian’s face was instantly filled with black lines. He already learned from the heavenly deities of the sacred academy about his current reputation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. When he saw the expression on Goddess Dugu face, a smile that was not like a smile, he instantly panicked and increased his speed. Staring at his back, Goddess Dugu laughed charmingly, beautiful to the extreme. A smile from a female goddess could cause the multitude of lives in the mortal world to swoon. Sadly, most probably only people on the same level of existence with her would be able to see it.
Qin Wentian didn’t return to Heaven Vault directly. He went to Azure Mystic first and accompanied his family for a period of time before making another journey back to Heaven Vault. The moment Qin Wentian appeared, a wave of commotion occurred. The number one shameless heavenly deity of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms actually still had the face to appear.
Qin Wentian couldn’t be bothered about the strange looks everyone was casting his way and entered the Heaven Vault directly, stepping onto the ancient heaven vault pathway. Coincidentally, he encountered Goddess Nichang here again. She had promised her grandfather not to take any risks and Deity Qu naturally allowed her to go back to the Heaven Vault once again. She also didn’t expect to meet Qin Wentian again here.
“What a coincidence.” Upon seeing the cold look Goddess Nichang was shooting his way, he felt a little awkward. Right now, his reputation was very ‘smelly’ in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and he had also implicated Goddess Nichang. Currently, many people speculated that he must have ‘done’ something to Goddess Nichang…he would naturally feel guilt when he encounters Nichang again.
Goddess Nichang didn’t say anything and merely looked at him coldly, causing him to feel even more awkward. Given Goddess Nichang’s personality, it was impossible for him to publicly state that she was innocent and try to explain, right? In any case, those years ago, Qin Wentian really didn’t do anything to her. The more she tried to explain, the more suspicious it would sound. What would people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms think?
“Mhm, don’t be too bothered with the rumors floating outside. If there’s a chance, I will explain it to everyone.” Qin Wentian spoke as he coughed. Goddess Nichang remained silent.
“It’s fine if you are unwilling for me to explain to everyone. I will go and cultivate now.” Qin Wentian’s figure flashed as he took the chance to flee. How truly awkward. After all, this matter was caused by him and back then, his method of handling that situation was also somewhat extreme, damaging Goddess Nichang’s reputation.
From faraway, when the others in here saw the situation between the two of them, they couldn’t help but speculate when they saw the cold look on Goddess Nichang’s face and the guilty look on Qin Wentian’s face. Surely, something must have happened between the two of them. Ahhh, Qin Wentian was truly a beast. How could there be such a shameless heavenly deity in the world? He actually publicly acted against the number one beauty of the Heaven Region, Nichang.
After Qin Wentian left the area, he followed the ancient heaven vault path and came to the starry space amidst the nine heavenly layers. He met up with Di Tian again. During these tens of years, his original self was cultivating in the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy while Di Tian roamed the starry space, going from constellation to constellation, sensing the different law attributes. The two of them had many different insights. But even so, Di Tian was unable to absorb the energy from all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers.
The thoughts of Qin Wentian and Di Tian were one to begin with. The insights Qin Wentian gained in the world of reincarnation would naturally also be understood by Di Tian. But, even Di Tian who had his intact bloodline powers, was unable to accomplish this. From this, one could see how difficult this task was.
Right now, they could only try the final step.
In the starry space, Qin Wentian and Di Tian sat side by side. Both of them began to emit a brilliant radiance. This time around, Di Tian didn’t conceal his features, and his appearance was exactly the same as Qin Wentian. Although he hid his aura and face from the outside world, his original essence was still that of Qin Wentian, they were one and the same. At this moment, they were completely alike. If someone else was to be present here, that person wouldn’t be able to sense any differences from their auras.
“Back then, my other self was created by using the Great Nirvana Immortal Art. Now, I wonder if would there be any changes if we fused back as one.” The same voice rang out from the two of them.
Back then when Ancient Azure Mystic appeared, he went to many of the secret realms inside Ancient Azure Mystic and managed to find the second and final volume of the Great Nirvana Art, the art of refusion.
Qin Wentian was preparing to let his original body and avatar refuse as one. He didn’t know what changes would there be.
Also, the second volume of the Great Nirvana Immortal Art stated that after the refusion, it doesn’t mean that he would lose his avatar forever. In the future, he could still summon his avatar for battle, splitting one into two. If he encountered an opponent of similar strength, this division technique would undoubtedly grant him a huge advantage in combat.
The two completely similar figures gradually moved closer to each other. An illusory light flashed and at the point of their contact, the two bodies melded together. At this moment, a wondrous radiance erupted forth from Qin Wentian and the illusory figure of Di Tian could be seen above him.
His bloodlines gradually returned as his soul fused back into one, becoming the truly complete Qin Wentian. However, all of these were expected. What Qin Wentian cared about the most was what changes would occur to his astral souls? The Great Nirvana Immortal Art was just a cultivation secret art, but as to its true effects after refusion, it wasn’t stated in the volume. He would only know after testing it out himself.
As the two of them became one, Qin Wentian’s body trembled slightly. The light emitting from him grew brighter and brighter and a long moment later, the space around him trembled as he opened his eyes. A ray of brilliant light shot out from within as his eyes grew even more spirited. There wasn’t too much difference now compared to the previous him, he was still him. The two bodies he had were originally the same person, although Di Tian could think independently and had his own soul, his thoughts were ultimately Qin Wentian’s thoughts. Now that they joined back into one, he naturally was still himself. Upon sensing the changes to his body, a faint smile appeared in Qin Wentian’s eyes. He stared at the constellations in the starry space and an instant later, waves of radiance radiated from him. At this moment, a total of sixteen beams of astral light simultaneously shot towards Qin Wentian, cascading down on him. These beams of astral light naturally belonged to the constellations he condensed an astral soul from. He no longer only had eight astral souls, he had a total of sixteen astral souls now!
