Ancient Godly Monarch

After Qin Wentian released Xu Qingyao, he also left the area, wandering aimlessly around the City of Ancient Emperors as he searched for secret ruins.

This boundlessly vast City of Ancient Emperors is a separate dimension that had a possibility to be connected to the other immortal realms. There were also voices saying that the era was changing, resulting in the rules here being changed. There would definitely be many secret ruins hidden here.

Qin Wentian roamed about in all directions in the wilderness, and the Saber-Sword Immortal King naturally slowly vanished without a trace. Hence, there were people saying that the Saber-Sword Immortal King had hid himself away, not daring to show his face. There were even rumors saying that he had left the City of Ancient Emperors. He knew how major the mistake he committed was and wanted to avoid trouble.

Many experts were searching for him, wanting to finish him off. The people of the Violet Emperor also entered the city and joined in the search as well.

Right now, it was unknown how many in the City of Ancient Emperors wanted the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s life.

Right now, Qin Wentian was at a broken down hall. The emperor’s fate behind him was extremely terrifying, about to turn corporeal, enveloping him within. This caused his entire being to be blessed by destiny. His gaze was terrifying, his eyes shining resplendently. Upon staring at this hall, his eyes were seemingly able to see through all illusions. He could see what this ancient hall once looked like – majestic and imposing, with emperors carving traces on the walls, containing emperor’s intent.

He took a step forward and entered. In his vision, this wasn’t a dilapidated hall but was a complete one. There are also traces of combat here. The emperor’s intent is extremely strong, rushing inside his mind as he quietly comprehended them.

“Xu Qingyao claimed that emperor’s fate are collectible amounts of destiny here in the City of Ancient Emperors. Seems like that isn’t false. If I didn’t have such a huge amount of emperor’s fate, I wouldn’t be able to see the true appearance of this hall. The emperor’s fate actually has such a unique use to it. How wondrous.” Qin Wentian mumbled silently. Although he wasn’t here long, each combat he fought was extremely earth-shattering. With his exemplary battle achievements, the amount of emperor’s fate he collected was naturally plenty.

After spending a long time here, only then did Qin Wentian leave this place and continue forward. Occasionally, he would sense the existences of others that were also roaming the wilderness, in search for ancient ruins within the City of Ancient Emperors.

……..

One day, Qin Wentian sat cross-legged on a vast empty plains as he quietly comprehended the energy here. In his mind, this wasn’t an empty plain. There was a sword-shaped rock before his eyes and it was radiating an almighty sword intent.

One day, Qin Wentian came before a mountain. This mountain stood quietly before him, seemingly ordinary. However, when the light from Qin Wentian’s emperor’s fate projected over it, he could see that the mountain was actually shuddering. At the foot of the mountain, a desolate primordial beast laid there, sealed by the pressure of the mountain. The beast was roaring and struggling, causing the huge tremors. This couldn’t be seen with the naked eye and could only be sensed with emperor’s fate. If one merely stared at it, they would see that this place was nothing more than an ordinary mountain.

One day, Qin Wentian came before an ocean. This wasn’t the eastern seas but was an ocean within the City of Ancient Emperors. Other than the city area located in the central regions, the other directions extended endlessly. This dimension where the City of Ancient Emperors was located, was incomparably vast. The more Qin Wentian explored, the more shock he felt. This didn’t feel like a separate space at all. It was more like a boundlessly vast and gigantic world.

By borrowing the effect of the emperor’s fate, Qin Wentian was able to sense the terrifying energy in the ocean. There also seemed to be an intense churning of water currents deep within.

However, given his amount of emperor’s fate, he still felt that he was unable to discern things clearly. Maybe, he would only be able to see more only after his emperor’s fate grew stronger.

During this period of time, Qin Wentian simply roamed around the wilderness regions and comprehended many insights. He gradually discovered that within this world, there truly was a great number of shocking secrets.

The black dragon said that the era has changed. Xu Qingyao said it too. The change of the rules here made Qin Wentian feel that there must be something major happening within here in the past which caused the appearance of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy and the descent of the Devil God Mountain, which pulled the curtains of the new era apart.

Although he saw many wondrous things, Qin Wentian didn’t forget to cultivate. Whenever he gained an insight, he would sit down and ponder over it quietly as he did his best to comprehend them.

To Qin Wentian now, he wanted nothing more than to increase his strength, gaining a deeper understanding of laws and learn how to better fuse the different attribute energies. He still had insights he gained from the Eastern Tomb and would need much more time to fully digest them as he slowly upgraded himself.

Unknowingly, Qin Wentian already spent two years in the City of Ancient Emperors.

Today, he sat on a mountain peak with his eyes closed. Law energy radiated from him, much stronger compared to two years ago. The light from laws could be seen circulating around him, growing more and more resplendent.

With a wave of his hand, a supreme suppressive might appeared in the area as a humming sound filled the void. A supreme pagoda appeared, augmenting the power of suppression. This transparent pagoda circulated with boundless runic light, akin to a formation as the holy will surged from within, further reinforcing the suppressive might. At this moment, the pagoda was spinning around in a spiral as beams of light from it engulfed the sky and earth, exuding boundless apocalyptic might. The beams of light blasted into the mountains ahead, instantly levelling them all, turning the area that was once filled with mountains back to flat ground.

He was using the pagoda-type holy will as the base to form a pagoda law domain that could be considered a qualitative evolution of his divine elephant suppression domain. He was able to fuse both together, allowing the suppression might to increase in intensity. This law domain was like a prison to his enemies, binding them and restricting their movements, much stronger compared to the divine elephant law domain in the past. Before this when he fought, he had to specifically manifest the tiny pagoda to be able to augment his suppression might. Now, he could intensify the suppression might with just an intention of his will.

Other than this, Qin Wentian still gained insights about other types of power. He experimented and tried to fuse them with some of the law-attribute energies he cultivated, merging them within his innate techniques, wanting them to increase in quality and achieve an evolution.

It would be for the best for him to comprehend as many types of energy as possible. By using different types of law attribute energy, he would be able to further conceal his identity as people might recognize who he is if he kept using the same ones.

At this moment, the law energies in the area vanished as everything returned to its normal calmness. Qin Wentian stood up, and with a flash of his silhouette, he left this place.

These two years, many changes occurred in the City of Ancient Emperors. There were even more experts from the immortal realms here, including an increase in the number of greater demons from the desolate mountains. Right now, even the external world knew that there were changes in the City of Ancient Emperors and there might be plenty of good fortune to be found. Things might be the same as the era of ancient emperors as the city would produce rarely-seen inheritances from the past. Hence, more and more experts entered here.

At this moment, many geniuses gathered at a certain location as they discussed the changes in the City of Ancient Emperors and exchanged pointers about the dao.

“Right now in the City of Ancient Emperors, for those experts in the immortal king realm that stand at the peak, their emperor’s fate can transform into true dragons or ancient phoenixes, forming a corporeal body. Many ancient ruins opened up to them and they are allowed to cultivate in there. They would only grow stronger and stronger and would break through to the immortal-emperor realm sooner or later, gaining an opportunity to fight for the chance to become an ancient emperor.”

“That’s right, the rules of the City of Ancient Emperors changed as many ancient ruins and secret realms appeared. However, only those with powerful emperor’s fate can enter. The stronger someone is, the further the distance between us would grow. Other than those standing at the peak, I wonder if there are any others that have the potential to become a supreme being.”

“Fairy Qingyao, it’s rumored that that crown prince admires you. Do you know how strong he is exactly?” There were some who turned to Xu Qingyao as they asked. Numerous gazes landed on her. Xu Qingyao’s beauty was legendary and her talent outstanding. Many people liked to project their questions onto her.

“I’m not clear.” Xu Qingyao replied, her expression a little cold.

“Speaking of this, I suddenly thought of something. That crown prince asked him to come out and kneel to apologize and is willing to spare him from death. However, that person hasn’t appeared up till now, he must have already left the City of Ancient Emperors. Fairy Qingyao was abducted by that man back then, I wonder if you have an approximate gauge of the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s strength?” A female immortal king in the surroundings smiled as she asked Xu Qingyao.

Instantly, the expressions of many people changed. Wasn’t this purposely wanting to mock Xu Qingyao. That incident two years ago could be considered a taint on Xu Qingyao’s reputation. Even now, many people believed that Fairy Qingyao’s purity had already been taken away.

This female immortal king was none other than an admirer of that crown prince. Many people understood in their hearts that this female immortal king was doing this intentionally.

As expected, Xu Qingyao’s countenance changed. She icily replied, “Very strong, strong enough to kill you with no effort.”

“Oh is that so? Fairy Qingyao regards him so highly? Why did he sneak away then? Fleeing like a defeated dog. Right now, there are so many in the City of Ancient Emperors that want to kill him. Could it be that Fairy Qingyao has fallen in love with him?” That female immortal king was also pretty and her cultivation base was the same as Xu Qingyao. She had no qualms about keeping her volume down and this made Xu Qingyao’s expression grow increasingly unsightly.

“The rumor that he fled might not be real. But if he doesn’t want to be that defeated dog which fled away, I will definitely kill him if I encounter him in here.” An young-looking admirer of Xu Qingyao spoke with a glacial tone. His cultivation base was at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm.

“I think so too. Many people love to distort the truth and exaggerate things. He is merely a coward, but if he hasn’t fled from here and dares to appear in the City of Ancient Emperors again, he most probably wouldn’t be able to stay alive for long.” The female immortal king laughed. “In this place, there should be major powers that suffered losses from the Saber-Sword Immortal King before, right? What do you all think?”

“Sadly, before this old man came to the City of Ancient Emperors, he has already fled. If not, how else would he still be able to live?” An aged immortal king from the Taihua Immortal Dynasty spoke. His aura was vast and majestic, exuding a powerful might.

“What a pity he fled so fast.” A peak-stage immortal king from the Paragon Sword Sect also coldly spoke.

Two years ago, Qin Wentian offended too many experts, and all of them were from peak powers of the immortal realms.

“Is that true? Are you guys so impressive?” At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar. The expressions of everyone here froze as their gazes turned over in the direction of the voice. After that, their bodies all stiffened.

Over there, in the air, an expert was slowly moving over towards them. On the back of this man, there’s a sword and a saber. This was clearly the mark of the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

Upon seeing this figure, Xu Qingyao’s beautiful eyes froze. After that, she gritted her teeth. This bastard actually still dared to appear here? This must mean that he had never left the City of Ancient Emperors.

“Everyone here is basking in their glory, and your words so imposing. You guys really resembled those people who died two years ago, all of them so brazen and loved acting like lofty figures. However, where are those people now?” Qin Wentian had a demonic smile on his face. The eyes of everyone narrowed, what an arrogant fellow this man was. There was no doubt this man was the Saber-Sword Immortal King. He actually dared to appear and even challenge everyone here, provoking them.

“I’m standing right here. Who wants to kill me?” Qin Wentian swept his gaze over the crowd as he spoke, he had no regards for any of these immortal kings in his eyes at all!
