Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1898: Returning Home, Old Memories

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Sixteen beams of astral light from sixteen constellations. The Qin Wentian now, his soul had a total of sixteen astral gates.

Before this, his true self and avatar each had eight astral souls respectively. Now that they merged together as one, their astral souls actually stacked. Qin Wentian naturally was very satisfied. This meant that he had all the advantages despite fusing back into one. He was able to sense even more law attributes and gain more heavenly daos.

Naturally, this wasn’t Qin Wentian’s ultimate goal. Godking Xi had said that Qin Wentian had to be able to form an innate connection with all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers and absorb their energy. This was then his ultimate goal. This was clearly more extraordinary than having sixteen astral souls. Once he could accomplish that, he would be able to use all the laws in the world, there would be no cultivation arts and techniques he couldn’t learn.

As his aura gradually calmed, Qin Wentian closed his eyes once more and sensed the power of his bloodlines flowing in his body. Two sources of bloodline power existed. For the bloodline whose power was akin to a white candle-light flame, it was much more resplendent compared to the past. In the past, this bloodline power allowed Qin Wentian to be immune to poison. After that, as Di Tian grew stronger, the innate talent of this bloodline also strengthened. Leaving aside poisons, this bloodline also enabled him to be immune to sinister techniques such as curses. The white candle flame was able to purify everything.

Also, his grandfather once said that the ultimate secret of his Qin Clan’s bloodline would enable him to comprehend the myriad of laws. Di Tian has also felt it. This bloodline power was able to help in fusing his other laws. It was only because Di Tian focused on the sealing laws and the astral souls he condensed towards the end, were all of the sealing attributes. This made it so that Di Tian wasn’t able to fully display the potential of the bloodline’s talent.

In the past, for the vast majority of time, Di Tian was either cultivating, attempting to comprehend insights, or protecting a place. It was very rare for Di Tian to participate in combat.

For his other bloodline, the Luoshen Clan demon god bloodline, it was much more violent, churning with intensity inside his body. In addition, Di Tian had already awakened the divinity rearing bloodline. Right now when the power of this bloodline is released, he would be able to summon ten thousand demons.

At this moment, Qin Wentian gave full reign to the power of this bloodline, allowing it to circulate with full force. There seemed to be a violent storm raging in his body, and the phantom of a demon god appeared behind Qin Wentian. At this moment, the illusory figures of ten thousand demons appeared around him. The sounds of countless demon beasts roaring could be heard in the sky. Qin Wentian could clearly sense the existences of all the beast-aligned constellations in the nine heavenly layers.

“This feeling is much clearer compared to prior to the fusion.” Qin Wentian silently mused. Before his two bodies merged, Di Tian could already do this, but now, the feeling was clearer and more intense, allowing him to sense the existences of those constellations more easily.

The number of beast-aligned constellations in the boundless starry space were countless. He began to try and form an innate connection with them and attempted to absorb the astral light from the constellations.

This would be an extremely long and boring process but Qin Wentian kept trying and presisting. What Godking Xi pursued, was transcendence, transcending all existences in the nine heavenly layers. And if he wanted to pursue transcendence as well, this was the most important first step he needed to accomplish. As long as he could take this step, his future cultivation would surely advance with great speed, a thousand miles with the effort of a single day, granting him a huge advantage over all the heavenly deities in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. In that case, there would be a day where he stood at the peak of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and stared down at the extremely powerful Qin Clan.

Qin Clan not only has Qin Zheng and Qin Dangtian. There was also Qin Ding, a character of equal fame with his paternal grandfather Qin Tiangang, existed as well. Qin Ding was surely even more powerful than Qin Zheng.

This path was going to be a long one. Qin Wentian cast aside all distractions and set his heart at ease as he cultivated.

Time continued flowing and in the blink of an eye, another tens of years passed.

Today, amidst the nine heavenly layers, a handsome young man could be seen standing on a particular constellation, sensing the law attributes radiating from the constellation. This constellation was a fire-attributed one. Qin Wentian didn’t have any fire-attributed astral soul but at this moment, fire energy continuously seeped into his body unceasingly. He was able to sense the fire laws and even absorb the fire astral energy anytime.

Qin Wentian waved his hand, in an instant, a terrifying fire divine formation manifested. The power from it surged forward, destroying everything, capable of burning all things in the world into ashes. Evidently, he not only could absorb the fire astral energy, he was also able to use it as he willed. But the problem now was that if the distance between him and the constellation was too far away, he wouldn’t be able to absorb it easily. Qin Wentian encountered this situation many times in the past, he also tried many ways to solve it, but to no avail.

“Let’s try and comprehend other law attributes first.” Qin Wentian mumbled. After that, he closed his eyes. A terrifying sword tempest appeared on the constellation he was on. This storm tempest contained the energy of time and space, and was churning violently. Around Qin Wentian, numerous resplendent swords appeared. This entire world transformed into a Spacetime Sword Region under Qin Wentian’s control.

“A world in a flower petal.” Qin Wentian mumbled. He thought of the scene he once saw when he encountered the mysterious white-robed young man in the true legendary place in the world of reincarnation. He closed his eyes and silently recalled those memories. In an instant, the Spacetime Sword Region continuously shrank as an ancient word of power representing the word ‘sword,’ was condensed from it. At this moment, there seemed to be white candle flames flowing into the ancient word. Boundless sword might radiated forth, fusing as one with that ancient word, augmented by the power of his bloodline.

“Back then, senior told me the truth about the heavenly daos. Now, although I can only comprehend a little bit of his words, I’m sure the power of my ancient words manifestation wouldn’t lose out to Qin Dangtian.” Qin Wentian mumbled to himself. As the sound of his voice faded, the ancient word representing the character ‘sword’ blasted outwards. An instant later, the space before him transformed into a world of sword region. Spacetime swords shot through the air with shocking might. This boundless energy was actually all contained in a single word. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful this was.

Qin Dangtian was also proficient in using ancient words to attack. He proclaimed himself as having comprehended ten thousand laws and would often be surrounded by revolving ancient words, each representing a different type of heavenly dao, giving him near-invincible combat prowess.

But now, this method Qin Wentian had comprehended was very similar to Qin Dangtian but there were still some differences. What Qin Wentian had comprehended was using the truth told to him by that mysterious white-robed young man in the legendary place in the world of reincarnation. His ancient words contained the power of truth, the concept of a world inside a flower petal. Naturally what Qin Wentian had accomplished now was merely the tip of the iceberg. He was still extremely far away from the level of ‘a world in a flower petal.’ But he resolutely believed that if he could comprehend all the daos, he would reach that level sooner or later. Even now, the power of a single word manifested by him wouldn’t be weaker than Qin Dangtian.

Other than comprehending insights, Qin Wentian also cultivated. It was like he didn’t know fatigue.

Many years later, he felt that he had encountered a bottleneck. Hence, he stopped his cultivation and prepared to set out for a walk to rest and relax a little, paying a visit to his friends and family. Wanting to succeed in a single leap was almost impossible. Godking Xi used his entire life and still failed to reach the Transcendent Realm. Right now, although Godking Xi pointed out a clear path for him, it wasn’t something he could succeed in in a short period of time. Talent, comprehension ability, state of heart, timing…he couldn’t lack any of these.

Today, Qin Wentian exited the Heaven Vault once again. He first headed to Deity Qu’s residence to pay a visit. After all, he promised to visit Qu Shen back then, now since it was on the way, Qin Wentian naturally went over to greet him. Goddess Nichang wasn’t around, so things weren’t too awkward. However, Qu Shen kept making jokes about this, causing Qin Wentian to smile wryly. However, it seemed that Qu Shen wasn’t too angry and was someone who could take a joke, truly gracious to the extreme.

In any case, what did the words of others in the world have to do with him? As long as his state of heart was clear, there was no need to be bothered. In addition, Qin Wentian only abducted Nichang to prevent Nichang from putting herself in danger.

After the visit, Qin Wentian headed back to Azure Mystic and accompanied his wives and family. Right now, the cultivation of Qin Wentian’s family was no longer comparable to the past. There were immortals everywhere. They were already used to roaming secret realms and only returned after many years. Each had their own lives and were living very comfortably in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Ever since Qin Wentian united Azure Mystic, no one had been able to challenge his authority.

And after that, Qin Wentian prepared to head towards the Qingcheng Realm. After all, he was still the Qingcheng Realmlord and it has been a long time since he returned. Truly, after becoming the Qingcheng Realmlord, he actually did nothing for his realm and went off adventuring straight away.

When Ye Qianyu heard of Qin Wentian’s plan, she also wanted to go with him. Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t disagree. To Ye Qianyu, although the Qingcheng Realm was named after Qing`er and Qingcheng, it also had an extraordinary meaning to her. This was the empire Qin Wentian fought for on her behalf.

Right now within the Qingcheng Saint Hall of the Qingcheng Realm. The various palace lords instantly rushed over with their fastest speed upon learning of the Qingcheng Realmlord Qin Wentian’s return. Their hearts were trembling with many emotions.

After all, Qin Wentian’s current name has circulated through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Their Realmlord was now already a heavenly deity that stood at the peak.

Qin Wentian met with everyone in the Qingcheng Sainthall. He could see that all of these people were much more sincere and respectful in their attitudes compared to the past. Trepidation and awe could be seen in their gazes. A heavenly deity to them was a true legend. Their young realmlord actually reached this legendary realm in a few short hundred years. Everytime they thought of this, their hearts would involuntarily tremble.

“Realmlord, Xuanyuan is willing to follow you to my death. Can Realmlord bring me along with you as a servant?” The Xuanyuan Palace Lord bowed and spoke. His Xuanyuan Clan was a great aristocrat clan. Given how proud he was, he was actually willing to become a servant. The status of a heavenly deity’s servant wasn’t something that would be inferior to the palace lord of a realm. In any case, there would be no mistake following Qin Wentian. According to the news, many of Qin Wentian’s close friends were already world overlords.

“Just help me govern the Xuanyuan Palace well. After all, the Qingcheng Realm is my root in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Qin Wentian laughed. Evidently, he rejected Xuanyuan’s request. The Xuanyuan Palace Lord couldn’t help but feel some disappointment. He could only nod his head in agreement.

“Enough, you guys can take your leave.” Qin Wentian waved his hand. Everyone bowed and retreated but there were still people who didn’t leave yet. They were none other than Jialan Jiangshan and Jialan Qiuyue from the Jialan Clan.

“Jialan, is there a matter?” Qin Wentian asked.

“Your subordinate, I…” Jialan Jiangshan wanted to say something but he didn’t know how he should say it. After all, Qin Wentian had already rejected Xuanyuan earlier.

“Where is Di Tian?” Jialan Qiuyue stared at Qin Wentian, not feeling fear at all. On the contrary, she was actually staring at Qin Wentian with some bitter resentment.

Qin Wentian saw Jialan Qiuyue’s gaze, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. “In the past, you’ve already seen Di Tian’s true features. Do you still need me to say anything more? You already knew that I am Di Tian and Di Tian is me. He is my second self. Now, the two of us have already merged together back as one.”

Jialan Jiangshan’s body trembled violently. This secret…Jialan Qiuyue has never told him before. Now that Qin Wentian revealed it, he finally understood some of the decisions Jialan Qiuyue told him to make. So it turned out that this was the case.

Jialan Qiuyue bit her lip lightly, stubbornly staring at Qin Wentian. “Can I follow you?”

“Follow me for?” Qin Wentian asked.

“I can be your maid and serve you. Won’t you allow me to do so?” Jialan Qiueyue spoke in bitter resentment.

Qin Wentian glanced at Jialan Jiangshan. “Did you get her to do this?”

Jialan Jiangshan’s gaze stiffened. Jialan Qiuyue shook her head and spoke, “I’m willing to do so myself and this is my own decision. Right now, you are already a heavenly deity. Can it be that I don’t even qualify to become your maid?”

Qin Wentian stared at the stubborn look on the face of the beauty before him as he bitterly smiled. How hard was it to enjoy a beauty’s grace? He silently sighed, he couldn’t help but be reminded of Beauty Xiao and the instant her face flashed in his memories, a faint sorrow filled his heart!
