Qin Wentians eyes gleamed with sharpness. The competition in the City of Ancient Emperors was actually so intense?
He naturally understood, although this was the City of Ancient Emperors, this was no longer the level he was in before. This might be the third level, only immortal kings can enter here.
At this moment, Qin Wentian discovered a phenomenon. The immortal kings here all had faint glows of emperor-luster behind their backs. The four supreme experts fighting in the air had an even thicker aura of emperor-luster, sparkling in with a rainbow-like light, dazzling to the extreme.
Emperors Fate. The female immortal king had a look of anticipation on her face. From the past till now, there were so many who entered the City of Ancient Emperors. Why did they come here?
Emperors Fate, this is something like a stroke of fortune that can only be found in the third level of the City of Ancient Emperors. The stronger the Emperors Fate is for someone, the more the destiny of an emperor would gather on that person. As the amount of Emperors Fate turns corporeal, they would act as a key and open up some of the ancient secret realms within the third level. Theres a rumor saying that some of the extraordinary innate techniques and secret arts currently circulating in the immortal realms, all originated from the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, after the appearance of the sacred academy and Demongod Mountain, theres no doubt that a new era is coming. Most probably, rarely seen ultimate arts and techniques would reveal themselves here one after another, waiting for us to obtain them.
The eyes of the female immortal king gleamed brightly, Enjoy this well. This era definitely wont disappoint you. In this era, ordinary immortal kings would be akin to nothing but ants. This would also be the era where the truly, supremely strong, rise to the nine heavens.
Right now, does the entire immortal realms believe that this is the coming of the new era? Qin Wentian mused in a low voice.
Naturally, compared to countless years ago where the ancient emperors fought each other, the level of strength of our immortal realms has sunk to an unprecedented low. The appearance of the heavenly dao sacred academy is already a very good sign. That, followed by the appearance of the Demongod Mountain as well as some incredible transformations within the City of Ancient Emperors, theres no need to doubt that the new era is coming. Theres even a rumor saying that these transformations in the city are purely because the birth of a new ancient emperor would come about in the near future. Maybe, the radiance of the former era would appear once more.
There are even transformations and changes in the City of Ancient Emperors? Qin Wentian felt his heart shaking. Seems like the coming of the new era had truly engulfed the entire immortal realms.
Many thanks for the information. Qin Wentian clasped his hands and thanked the female immortal king.
No need to be so polite. Even if I didnt tell you this, you would learn of it sooner or later. Its just a minor effort to me, but naturally, if we were to fight against each other, I wouldnt be so courteous. The female immortal king smiled. Qin Wentian nodded, Naturally.
At this moment, one of the battles in the air ended. The immortal king from the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire continuously shot out divine arrows with boundless might, shooting down the golden roc, heavily injuring his opponent. Qin Wentian then saw that the Emperors Fate behind him grew brighter while the defeated partys grew weaker.
Ill go and retrieve the authority scepter and control the divine residence first. Qin Wentian silently mused. After that, he bid farewell to the female immortal king. In the past before he left the City of Ancient Emperors, he left behind a strand of his will, connecting him to the ancient scepter. The black dragon told him to come back again after his cultivation grew stronger, he would pass Qin Wentian the authority scepter then. This time around, the main reason he came back here was to acquire the authority scepter, which countless had failed to obtain before him.
Qin Wentian had no distractions in his heart, he sped towards a certain direction. On his journey there, he saw countless geniuses contending against each other. With battles of that level, the sky changed color as chaotic currents of energy filled the air. There were some supreme experts with an extremely high amount of Emperors Fate on them, glowing exceptionally resplendently. These were all undoubtedly supremely powerful characters.
He even saw some secret realms. On a certain towering stone pillar, an expert with brilliant amounts of Emperors Fate sat there, as though he had received a secret inheritance of some sorts and was basking in its mysterious energy. For a hundred mile radius around him, nobody was able to get near. Powerful law energy fluctuations flooded the area around the stone pillar, preventing the entry of others.
Different kinds of marvelous scenes appeared before his vision. Qin Wentian could tell that this level of the City of Ancient Emperors was truly extraordinary.
Finally, after many days later, he came to a stretch of desolation where a floating city in the sky could be seen. In the surroundings, there were many human experts and greater demons, but none could step on the ancient path of stars that led upwards.
Its closed off? Why is this pathway sealed? Someone spoke with reluctance. This was a powerful expert with a monstrous amount of Emperors Fate. His eyes gleamed brightly as he stared with dissatisfaction at the pathway.
After sighing, his silhouette flashed as he left with disappointment. Even so, there were still many other powerful experts here waiting. They were all filled with unwillingness. Back then in the past when they came, this pathway was still open and they had the opportunity to take the trial. But now, it was actually sealed off.
Senior black dragon promised to seal the path for me, he did not lie to me indeed. Qin Wentian mused. He then continued forward, heading towards the ancient path.
Theres no need to continue on, the path ahead is sealed. Nobody can enter. An expert called out.
Qin Wentian acted like he didnt hear it and continued forward. A cold smile appeared on that experts face but he didnt say anything more. After that, As Qin Wentian stepped onto that ancient path, a radiant light flashed as the pathway opened up. Qin Wentian continued smoothly with no obstructions. The eyes of the other experts all gleamed with bright light as they all stared towards Qin Wentian.
How can this be? Why can he enter? Someone asked, as that person rushed towards the ancient path. However, the moment that person neared, the ancient pathway closed again, not allowing entry from the others.
Who the hell is he? Numerous sharp gazes stared at Qin Wentian, only to see him directly walking towards the entrance before he disappeared from their sights.
Nobody knew that Qin Wentian had directly reached the divine residence. Upon coming before that statue once more, he stared at the authority scepter in its hand as his eyes blazed with heat.
Youve come. A voice rang out. A bright light flashed as the black dragon materialized behind him.
Senior. Right now, I should have enough strength to take the scepter, right? Qin Wentian spoke.
Just as what Ive said, I did seal the pathway here. Ive been waiting for you for a long time. The black dragon calmly replied.
Dont need to thank me yet. Im waiting here for you because of a reason. The thing I promised you back then, theres actually still something I have to make clear to you. You temporarily cannot take away this scepter. The black dragon spoke.
Why? Qin Wentian bewilderedly asked. Right now, Im already an immortal king. Am I still not qualified?
Thats not the case. If we go according to our past agreement, the you now is already qualified enough. However... The black dragon slowly spoke as a bright light gleamed in his eyes. The divine statue grew brighter as the authority scepter glowed with a fearsome radiance. A moment later, Qin Wentian felt the strand of his will linking him to the scepter being forcibly removed. This caused his expression to change, becoming extremely unsightly.
Senior, what do you mean by this? Why are things different now? Qin Wentian furrowed his brows as he asked.
You should know that right now in the external world, the winds and clouds are changing. The era is already different and hence, the rules have changed. Everything will start once again from the beginning. If you wish to take away the scepter, you have to prove your worth once again. The black dragon calmly replied.
You mean I should barge in from the path of stars and gain victory over the monsters in there once more? Qin Wentian asked.
Not really. You should contend against the geniuses here in the City of Ancient Emperors. When you gain the qualifications to return here, you will naturally understand everything. The black dragon replied.
Junior still doesnt understand. In the past, Ive already accomplished it. Senior has also promised it to me. Why did you change the rules so suddenly? Qin Wentian frowned, feeling like he was played, extremely unhappy.
You still dont understand despite being outside of the City of Ancient Emperors for such a long time? Right now, the skies are changing, hence the rules are changing. For the three levels in here, there are many who failed the trial of the ancient path of stars. However, because of your lower cultivation base, you actually gained an advantage and succeeded. Things are different now, there are many supreme greater demons visiting the City of Ancient Emperors. If things were to be restarted, you have to contend against them to prove yourself.
The black dragon slowly continued, Naturally, given your extraordinary bloodline as well as the fact that you did break through to the immortal king realm within such a short period of time, theres no need to doubt your outstanding talent. I just want you to contend again once more to gain the qualifications.
I pushed past the obstacles and encountered numerous dangers in the past, finally to reach the end-point and gained the inheritance here. Yet, senior wants to brush off my past efforts and tell me to restart just like this? Shouldnt the inheritance belong to me since Ive already gained the rights to it back then in the past? I still dont understand. What is this scepter exactly? Qin Wentians voice turned cold. Back then when he fought his way through the path of stars, things were truly not easy.
Wanting someone who passed through all that to restart once again? This meant that the black dragon was directly removing the qualifications which he earned before. How could anyone not be angered?
Hmph, why must you be so stubborn? The black dragons voice was filled with unhappiness. The era is already different, many supreme characters have appeared. If you are confident, you should contend against all of them and prove that you are at the very peak.
I understand now. Senior believes that although my talent is good, there will definitely be other supreme geniuses appearing in this new era, There might be some among them who can surpass me, and this is the reason why you removed my qualifications, asking me to start again from the starting point. Isnt this so? Qin Wentian directly spoke.
Thats right. The black dragon replied bluntly.
Can junior ask what is the scepter exactly? Actually causing senior to act in this manner. Back then, the ancient emperors all came here to this city, was it truly only for the sake of gaining control of this divine residence? Qin Wentian asked again.
This scepter is a dao element. It isnt an inheritance belonging to this world. This is the reason why I have to be so strict in my selection. As for the rumors about an ancient emperor being born in this era, you can choose to believe in that or not. You will know the truth sooner or later. You can leave now. The black dragon issued a guest-expulsion order.
Fine. Junior bids my farewell. Senior, you can send me out. At this moment, Qin Wentian actually became calm instead.
The black dragon breathed out and in an instant, Qin Wentian felt the law energy enveloping him. At the next moment, he was sent out from the divine residence and appeared outside the ancient pathway.
He came out. Many people turned towards Qin Wentian, feeling extremely puzzled. What happened exactly.
The ancient path has opened once again. At this moment, sounds of exclamation rang out.
However, Qin Wentian no longer bothered, he didnt plan to step upon the ancient path of stars again. Turning his back to this, he departed the area, not sparing it another glance.
Divine residence, authority scepter... Are these dao elements of another world?
They are not inheritances from this world, this means that the City of Ancient Emperors might hold the key as well as secrets of the other immortal realms. These inheritances must have broken through from the endless void, arriving here to select their inheritors.
No wonder ancient emperors would come here in the past and fight for these treasures. There must be a grand secret hidden here in the City of Ancient Emperors.
However, even if this was true, so what about it?
The inheritance might be from another world, but does this really give the black dragon the right to remove his qualifications? Wanting him to restart again, contending with the others?
Since this is the case, he didnt want it any longer.
Qin Wentian raised his head and stared at the City of Ancient Emperors that contained countless secrets. He came here for the scepter but he didnt expect that this would be the ending.
Just because...the era was different? Could it be that he couldnt be able to ascend all the way to the peak just because this was a different era?!
