Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The Xiao Sect was ranked #3 among the powers in the City of Ancient Emperors and had over a hundred members. They occupied a large stretch of area with many buildings and there were even mountains at the back of this location and streams and lakes ahead. It was like a small city by itself with mountains on one side and water on the other.

Within the Xiao Sect, the atmosphere is tranquil and the air is fresh. Qin Wentian had been here for several days but he wasn’t familiar with many people and there were no introductions as well. However, he didn’t really mind this.

Xiao Lengyue has been searching for Qing`er and given the strength of the Xiao Sect, it would be much easier to find her in comparison to him searching for her alone. Once they found Qing`er, he who has now joined the Xiao Sect, would surely be able to obtain first-hand information. Also, it was the same to him no matter where he cultivates.

In the cultivation ground of the quiet courtyard which was arranged for them to stay, under the evergreen mountains, there was a strange fluctuation in the air. Many constellations could be seen shimmering about, as the space Qin Wentian was in, seemed very familiar to a dreamscape.

There was a rune bone currently in his hand that shimmered with boundless light. The runes on this rune bone were all incredibly profound and the image of a gigantic wind roc shimmered in and out of existence in this special space. When this image enveloped Qin Wentian, there was evidently no wind in this space, yet he could feel gusts of raging wind blowing on him.

Qin Wentian closed his eyes in cultivation. He was currently activating the Ten Thousand Laws Record.

The process of cultivating the Ten Thousand Laws Record could manifest a special space that was suitable for all varieties of arts and techniques, it was also equipped with every manifestation of nature. The higher one’s comprehension is, the more he would be able to see.

This starry space which he was in now, expanded endlessly. There were boundless runes that sparkled in the sky, Qin Wentian held on to the Sky Roc Rune Bone in his hand as he floated upwards. A brilliant light flashed as the myriad of runes on the rune bone seemed to jump out, transforming into a wind roc and a moment later, a supreme movement technique based on the movements of the wind roc appeared in this starry space, and was being imprinted directly into Qin Wentian’s mind.

Not only this, the essence energy within the rune bone activated, and was able to transform into an overwhelming attacking might that contained boundless strength. It felt as though there was a countless number of mysterious runes carved on the rune bone and each rune itself contained an unfathomable strength, allowing people to sense the might and majesticness of the Paragon Sky Roc.

Qin Wentian sank deep into concentration as he borrowed the aid of the Ten Thousand Laws Record to comprehend this mysterious energy, allowing it to merge with him, becoming a part of his strength.

After a period of time, there were sounds of footsteps echoing out from outside the courtyard. Zi Qingxuan stood there and saw that the people who came were none other than the Xiao Sect’s sect leader, Xiao Lengyue, and some of the experts who were present with her when she invited them.

”Is Qin Wentian around?” Xia Qianhan, an expert who stood beside Xiao Lengyue, questioned Zi Qingxuan.

Zi Qingxuan frowned, ”He’s currently cultivating.”

”Tell him to come out. Lengyue has something which she needs his help with.” Xia Qianhan spoke, his words causing much unhappiness in Zi Qingxuan’s heart. Did this Xia Qianhan really treat them as his subordinates? There was no respect in his tone at all.

”Didn’t I say that he’s cultivating?” Zi Qingxuan repeated. Xia Qianhan furrowed his brows, he swept his glare over to Zi Qingxuan, ”Since you guys joined us and received the protection of our Xiao Sect, all of you best know your positions.”

Zi Qingxuan’s frown deepened even further, they only joined the Xiao Sect because Xiao Lengyue invited them, it wasn’t that they were begging to get it. In addition, even without the protection of the Xiao Sect, Qin Wentian himself would have been able to defeat Ji Lanshan. This Xia Qianhan of the Immortal Ascension Rankings was simply too arrogant.

”Xia Qianhan, don’t frighten the beautiful lady. No matter what, they are people of our Xiao Sect.” Li Yu smiled. Li Yu was also a ranker of the Immortal Ascension Rankings but in comparison, his personality was much milder and gentle.

”What’s the matter?” Just at this moment, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen walked out together. Xiao Lengyue flashed a smile at Qin Wentian, ”I have something to discuss with you, would it be okay if we go inside to discuss?”

”Sure.” Qin Wentian nodded.

”You guys wait for me here.” Xiao Lengyue stepped forth, walking together with Qin Wentian as they entered the courtyard. Xia Qianhan furrowed his brows as unhappiness flashed in his eyes.

Xiao Lengyue and Qin Wentian came to a cultivation ground together and she took out a picture scroll, handing it to Qin Wentian. ”Take a look at these pictures.”

Qin Wentian took the scroll. The pictures in the scroll showed a radiant palace that was incomparably majestic. Before the palace, there was a passageway filled with thistles and thorns leading up to it and there were many crisscrossing lines of divine inscriptions on the passageway, forming a runic network of extreme complexity.

”What is this?” Qin Wentian asked. These inscriptions were extremely unique and were all very powerful, containing a myriad of transformations. Just the slightest mistake made when unravelling it might lead to disastrous consequences.

”Many things in the City of Ancient Emperors are ruins from ancient times, this isn’t some rumor but the truth. This emperor palace you see might be the palace of an immortal emperor from the ancient times and initially, it was hidden in darkness but after painstaking efforts of probing from countless generations, the pathway was revealed. For this, many people paid with their lives and even now, this emperor palace shimmers in and out of sight, and can already be seen with our naked eyes. It’s just that even until today, no one has managed to gain access into it. These divine inscriptions are the greatest barrier.” Xiao Lengyue explained.

Qin Wentian smiled, he wasn’t an idiot. He instantly understood this was the reason why Xiao Lengyue invited him and his companions into the Xiao Sect a few days ago. However, joining the Xiao Sect suits his purposes too so it didn’t really matter to him. And on the contrary, if he was useless, why would Xiao Lengyue invite him in?

”From the pictures, the divine inscriptions are extremely complicated. But without seeing them for myself personally, I have no idea if I can unravel them.” Qin Wentian replied frankly.

”No problem, let’s directly set out to this location then.” Xiao Lengyue spoke as her beautiful eyes gleamed with sharpness, causing the heroic air around her to intensify. She was a woman with charisma or it would be impossible for her to have such accomplishments despite her beauty. It isn’t so easy to be ranked #6 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.

”Okay.” Qin Wentian nodded.

Xiao Lengyue flashed a charming smile, ”Your attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions is very high. If you can unravel it I, Xiao Lengyue, won’t mistreat you.”

She moved closer to Qin Wentian, and her beautiful face was only a few inches away from him. Even with Qin Wentian’s extraordinarily resolute heart, he felt his heart stirring. Xiao Lengyue’s smile grew even more radiant before she turned and stated, ”Let’s move out. However, that place is filled with many experts, including rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Our greatest opponents will be those from the Twin Stars Alliance. The alliance leaders are two brothers and they are both ranked pretty highly in the rankings. The older brother is ranked #4. While the younger brother has extraordinary attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions.

Xiao Lengyue then walked away, leaving behind a trace of her fragrance. Qin Wentian smiled lightly, this Xiao Lengyue’s charisma was truly incomparable, easily drawing top elites to join her. Just her displaying some little tricks and acting closer to you, most men would already be hooked, so mesmerized that they are willing to do anything for her.

Following Xiao Lengyue, both of them exited the courtyard. Qin Wentian could clearly sense unfriendliness in the eyes of many of the experts. However, he paid no attention to them and turned to Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan. ”Help me to look after Little Rascal.”

”Do you need me to go?” Jun Mengchen asked.

”No need.” Qin Wentian shook his head. Even Xiao Lengyue was personally going to the ruins where the emperor palace was located. However, given Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan’s current strength, it would be better for them to remain here for now. That place would surely be filled with supreme experts.

”Move out.” Xiao Lengyue commanded. As she soared in the air, a group of people followed behind her.

Xiao Lengyue was clad in luxurious red-robes, exuding elegance, constituting a beautiful sight.

The speed of their group was extremely fast, speeding towards their location.

In the western region of the City of Ancient Emperors, there was a water source that was like a boundless glacier world. Above this water source, a marvellous energy bore down on the atmosphere, making flight impossible here.

And deep inside this glacier world, a snow white emperor palace could be seen, pure and pristine, in perfect condition yet it also gives off a sense of mistiness. There was a large pathway that radiated ancientness. It felt that it was painstakingly built by the painstaking effort of the later generations, or no one would be able to see the way to the emperor palace.

Over here, supreme experts were as common as clouds.

From afar, swishing sounds rang out as the experts who were here earlier inclined their heads. The next moment, they only saw a supreme beauty leading a group of people flying over.

”Xiao Lengyue is here.” Many people were able to recognize her with just a single glance. She brought the experts of her Xiao Sect here and it seems that she was extremely interested in regards to this emperor palace.

”Xiao Lengyue.” Right now, a young man inclined his head, staring at Xiao Lengyue with a smile. ”Why have you not given up yet? I said it before, if you marry me or my elder brother, we will bring you into the emperor palace, allowing you to enjoy free entry without lifting a finger.”

”Xuan Xing, how dare you.” Xia Qianhan coldly cursed.

”Xia Qianhan, you don’t have the qualifications to speak to me.” That young man swept his gaze over to Xia Qianhan as he smiled, ”Xiao Lengyue, you are the daughter of the Xiao Emperor, while my royal father is the Xuan Emperor. We originally should be a match made in heaven. The Twin Stars Alliance my elder brother established can firmly suppress your Xiao Sect. If you don’t like me, it’s fine as well. You can also choose to get married to my elder brother.”

In the City of Ancient Emperors, there were only a few who dared to antagonize Xiao Lengyue who was ranked #6 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. However, the two alliance leaders of the Twin Stars Alliance were part of those who dared.

The two alliance leaders were also known as the twin stars, they were both the sons of the Xuan Emperor. Xuan Yang, the elder son, was extremely powerful, ranked #4 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings while the younger son, Xuan Xing, has extraordinary attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions. His combat strength isn’t weak as well, ranked #27 in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. It could be said that these two brothers were dragons among humans.

In the City of Ancient Emperors, the strength of the Twin Stars Alliance was equal to the Xiao Sect, and there were often conflicts between them. Xuan Xing, one of the alliance leaders, would often tease and make a joke out of Xiao Lengyue saying that he wants to marry her, turning her into a daughter-in-law of his royal father, the Xuan Emperor.

”You…” Xia Qianhan turned ashen but he only saw Xiao Lengyue waving him off casually. Xiao Lengyue smiled at Xuan Xing, ”Xuan Xing, you can’t even defeat me. What qualifications do you have to marry me?”

”This is only temporary. I might not be able to defeat you now but my elder brother Xuan Yang definitely can. I would have no objections either if you marry him.” Xuan Xing laughed.

”Hmph, Xuan Xing. Why don’t you try entering the emperor palace first before being arrogant.” Xiao Lengyue coldly snorted. After that, she turned her gaze onto Qin Wentian, ”Qin Wentian, take a look at the runic inscription network diagram. Are you able to unravel it?”

Qin Wentian was already long focused on the diagram of the ancient path even before Xiao Lengyue gave the order. The runic inscriptions here were extremely marvelous and complex, he had no way to unravel them in a short amount of time. He couldn’t help but to furrow his brows as he sank deep into concentration.

”Haha, so you invited a helper along. But, are you sure you will be able to gain access just with his paltry skill? In the City of Ancient Emperors, the divine inscriptions which I can’t unravel, means that there won’t be anyone else who can. If there’s anyone who can gain access to the emperor palace, that person will be me for sure.” Xuan Xing spoke with arrogance, his attitude was incomparably brazen!
