And as expected as Qin Wentian and his comrades proceeded closer, there was something that resembled the hollow of a palm beneath the five ancient peaks. All these made up a terrifying gigantic palm in its entirety, and exuded a power so strong that it felt like they wanted to shatter the heavens. The instant Qin Wentian laid his eyes on this, numerous formless diagrams suddenly erupted forth from his body in the shape of domineering palm imprints.

"BOOM!" Qin Wentian radiated terrifying immortal might. His energy gushed forth frenziedly as a humming sound could be heard within. The formless attacks blasted into him repeatedly causing him to groan in agony as he was forced to take a step back. Other than him, everyone else was being attacked. There were even some who coughed out blood as their immortal foundations trembled so violently that it felt they would shatter.

"They are already here." Ahead at the gigantic palm, experts from the Jiang Clan and Ying Clan as well as from the other powers of the immortal realms, have already arrived. They were seated in the surroundings, trying to gain insights and comprehend the divine essence.

"Mhm, this mystery should be comprehensible. Everyone it's best to be more cautious and try to get used to the attacks." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He took a deep breath and prepared himself before taking another step outwards. At the instant his foot landed, the formless attacks gushed over. Qin Wentian's body emitted a scintillating light as his immortal might gushed forth in a frenzy.

"BOOM!" Stomping heavily on the ground, Qin Wentian's body was simply a perfect physique, akin to the body of fiendgods. He allowed the attacks formed of the divine essence to blast at him as they willed, steadily walking step-by-step forward. The reaction of his body grew more intense to the point where he felt as though his body was about to fall into pieces as his inner organs and meridians shuddered violently.

Behind him, Nanfeng Yunxi and the rest followed after. They also could only take a step forward through enduring immense difficulty.

Jiang Ziyu's gaze turned to Qin Wentian as a smile flickered in his eyes. As expected, Qin Wentian didn't die, and although he didn't know for sure what happened to Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu, they probably were now in dire straits.

Ying Teng frowned as he regarded these people. He then saw Qin Wentian walking towards a huge rock at the side before sitting there cross-legged as the immortal might from his immortal foundation flowed endlessly. Not only for Qin Wentian, for those that endured the attacks, their bodies were circulating immortal light as a transformation occured within.

"Where is Emperor Yi's secret exactly? The divine essence here is getting weaker and weaker." Ying Teng stared ahead as he sighed. He had also arrived here and saw the gigantic palm and five ancient peaks. This seemed to be a place where divinities resided, yet he still had no idea on how to decipher the secret of God's Hand.

Qin Wentian continued sitting there as the divine essence blasted into him. His body shuddered violently, feeling as though it was about to break apart. Behind him, some people could no longer endure such a terrifying pressure and had no choice but to voluntarily retreat, leaving this place. They felt that if they continued staying here a moment longer, their bodies would explode as they died.

If one wanted to cultivate a powerful secret art, one's body must have a physique strong enough to support it. When stepping into the immortal foundation realm, everyone had an opportunity to establish the grade of their immortal foundation as well as to cleanse the impurities from their body.

Qin Wentian's reaction grew stronger and stronger, the sounds of ocean waves slapping upon mountains rang out unceasingly. An entire world seemed to have formed via boundless immortal energy, within his immortal foundation.

His eyes were tightly closed, yet he felt that his eyes were opened instead. At the 'walls' of the giant palm, divine runes radiating the energy of the divine essence that drifted over endlessly, as though wanting to destroy his body.

Many days later, many departed from this place but they didn't give up completely. They would attempt again and again and after numerous failures, some of them finally succeeded yet they had no way to comprehend God's Hand.

The secret art of an Ancient Emperor was simply too difficult to cultivate.

"I suspect that Emperor Yu has been lying to us since the start. The form he showed us simply wasn't the complete God's Hand. Even though we endured the baptism by the divine essence, it is still useless." At this moment, someone spoke, suspecting the motives of Emperor Yu. Many people furrowed their brows, the God's Hand Emperor Yu showed to everyone earlier seemed to be the complete one. Maybe, their comprehension abilities weren't enough for them to gain any insights.

"You guys not being able to comprehend this doesn't mean that Emperor Yu is lying." Jiang Ziyu faintly spoke. His words caused many to look at him. Ying Teng spoke, "What do you mean? Jiang Ziyu, can you comprehend this?"

Jiang Ziyu simply laughed and didn't reply. He glanced at Qin Wentian, right now in this place, only Qin Wentian had cultivated God's Hand before. Qin Wentian should have the highest probability of comprehending some insights. Regardless of whether others believed it or not, Jiang Ziyu believed that Emperor Yu didn't lie. Since he was the protector of the secret art, now that someone who cultivated a rudimentary form of God's Hand before has arrived here, there was no need for Emperor Yu to stop that person from obtaining the complete version of God's Hand. This wasn't something the protector of a secret art would do.

As the divine essence attacks continued to blast into him, Qin Wentian's comprehension actually deepened. The immortal energy within him circulated automatically, morphing into countless complicated runic diagrams as more transformations occurred. In his perception, the gigantic palm ahead was no longer dimmed but was shining with resplendent light instead. He could sense the true divine essence of the God's Hand there, as a faint-silhouette diagram shimmered blurrily. He could not see what that was exactly, and could only sense how profound and unfathomable it was.

Qin Wentian gradually sensed that these five fingers peak exuded an extremely strong illusory nature. Maybe, that gigantic palm was something that casted an illusion over everyone here. Qin Wentian tried unceasingly to comprehend that blurry diagram which he sensed. More and more attacks blasted into him and the him at this moment had already forgotten why he was here. He existed in this ethereal state that seemingly had no flow of time.

Soon, over thirty days passed. Qin Wentian was still deep in concentration, unable to extricate himself.

Beside Qin Wentian, Nanfeng Yunxi, Jun Mengchen and the others all opened their eyes. The divine essence here gradually grew weaker. This, was actually similar to the scene encountered by Xiao Lengyue back then when in the City of Ancient Emperors.

"Should we go to some other places to take a look?" At this moment, Ying Teng stood up and spoke. The divine essence around the gigantic palm shimmered in and out of existence. The God's Hand they tried to learn earlier before they entered the ancient mountain, had no way to circulate the force. It was basically useless for them to be here.

"He seems to be still comprehending." At this moment, somebody stared at Qin Wentian and commented.

"Deliberately acting mysterious." Ying Teng's prideful eyes flashed with suspicion. There were many geniuses here. He was a descendant of the Ying Clan and there was also characters like Jiang Ziyu as well as experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan. With so many supreme geniuses in here, how could it be that only Qin Wentian had comprehended some insights.

The Qin Wentian at this moment completely had no idea about what Ying Teng was thinking. He was fully immersed in comprehending. That blurry diagram gradually grew clearer and it was actually a human diagram. This human diagram gave Qin Wentian a feeling as vast as the starry space. It included the myriad of living creatures in this entire world and was situated right in the center of the universe. Qin Wentian imagined himself to be in that position and at that very instant, it felt like the heavens and earth within the world formed in his immortal foundation had split apart as terrifying transformations occurred.

"The true God's Hand isn't a palm art at all. It's a supreme attribute energy that could incorporate all the energies present in the myriad of creatures. It was able to explosively ignite a stellar martial cultivator's strength to the strongest state, unleashing torrential might through the palms." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Regardless of palm arts, spear arts of halberd arts, everything could be incorporated into God's Hand.

He thought of the scene the Phoenix Ancestor showed him. With a single palm strike, Ancient Emperor Yi wiped out a countless number of overwhelmingly powerful experts as well as an entire world. His palm was even able to traverse the void. It was a spatial-type innate technique that was unleashed by God's Hand, further augmenting its origin might.

"God's Hand is a secret art that encompasses the myriad of laws. It's a truly ultimate technique." Qin Wentian mused silently. Emperor Yu allowed everyone to comprehend God's Hand but Qin Wentian faintly sensed that Emperor Yu did so for him. He felt like this ancient mountain was prepared especially for him alone because although he had comprehended the basics of God's Hand, without this step, he would never be able to elevate his insights about God's Hand to the next level.

Qin Wentian could feel how profound this secret art was. Boundless transformations occurred within his body as the immortal light radiating from him grew brighter and brighter. His aura also began to exude a pressure that exceeds the level of his cultivation. This caused many to turn their gazes over toward him, feeling shock and astonishment.

"What's going on?" The eyes of everyone flickered. Ying Teng's countenance was extremely unsightly to behold.

"Among us, only he alone had cultivated God's Hand before. The chances of his success is naturally the greatest among us." Jiang Ziyu stood up and spoke. He stared at Qin Wentian as his eyes gleamed. He must definitely bring Qin Wentian to the Jiang Clan.

Many people crowded over only to see Nanfeng Yunxi and Jun Mengchen guarding Qin Wentian, staring at everyone else warily.

"RUMBLE!" At this moment, the ancient mountain trembled. The gigantic palm ahead shuddered violently, causing everyone to stare at it in shock. The humming noise continued and at this instant, the hollow of the palm actually started to crack. Boundless light shone from within and with a thunderous boom, the entire palm shattered apart. This caused all the experts to raise their hands in defense and after some time when all the light dissipated, everyone shifted their hands away, feeling their hearts trembling as they stared right ahead.

In the ancient mountain, there was actually another space.

Also, in here, it was no longer the earlier dimension that was the stretch of desolate plains and ancient peaks. This was a place that seemed to have traces of people residing here before.

"Was this left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi?" The notion flashed through everyone's mind as their hearts pounded. Was this the residence where Ancient Emperor Yi stayed in those years ago?

What did he leave behind in here exactly?

Qin Wentian's eyes suddenly opened. He similarly saw the same scene as everyone and at this moment, he stood up, his eyes gleaming with sharpness.

"What's going on?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked.

"I don't really know either." Qin Wentian shook his head. He felt that he had already comprehended the mysteries of the God's Hand. That was the reason why the gigantic palm suddenly shattered as this new dimension appeared.

The silhouettes of the experts here all flickered as they dashed forward. If Ancient Emperor Yi had truly stayed here before in the past, this undoubtedly must be a grand treasure trove!
