Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1182: Qingcheng Enters the Sacred Academy

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian stepped into the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. That immortal rock itself was a gate that led to the void, being the entrance of the second level of the Sky Connecting Realm.

The Qin Wentian now has indeed entered into another space. This place was like an ancient castle, desolate and uninhabited, causing Qin Wentian to recall the ancient palace he was in after he just crossed the immortal sea. Could that dimension be the same as this one? A place linked to the sacred academy but could only be accessed by people with an extraordinary performance?

In the past, he crossed the immortal sea using the path of truth-seeking. And now, he was ranked in the Supreme Might Rankings twice, allowing him to enter this secret dimension.

Having experienced that once before, Qin Wentian naturally could sense that this dimension was an extraordinary space. His silhouette flashed as he advanced forward, although this ancient palace seemed desolate, it exuded a strange aura, causing one to feel that there was something special about this place. Immersed in that feeling, he continued soaring ahead. After some time, a screen of light appeared before him, this screen of light was like a mirror, able to reflect Qin Wentian's figure.

Over there, runic light circulated brilliantly as though hinting at something. However, there was a feeling of unfathomability to it.

Qin Wentian stretched his hand out, touching his reflection in the screen of light yet he discovered that there was no way for him to come into contact with it at all. The screen of light was like an existence of the void, simply hanging there, like a mysterious alter dimension. You knew it existed, yet there was no way for you to touch it physically.

"Does it truly not exist?" Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed. After that, he lifted his palm and blasted out towards the screen of light. As his palm strike landed, countless ripples appeared. After that, they transformed into beams of runic light and actually disappeared, causing Qin Wentian to feel even more mystified.

But at this very moment, a shocking scene appeared before Qin Wentian. In the screen of light, he saw his reflection adopting a different stance and lifting its palm to blast out a palm attack. His reflection continued again and again and at the end, the attribute law energies infused got stronger and stronger. As time passed, that palm strike also grew closer to perfection, and even exceeded the power Qin Wentian could unleash at his current strength.

Yet, this kind of perfection could be achieved with his current abilities as well. It was how his reflection infused the attribute law energies as well as the control of it that caused that palm strike to reach perfection. Just a casual attack actually contained traces of the Great Dao.

"This…" Qin Wentian stared ahead. That silhouette gradually dispersed but Qin Wentian's heart kept pounding. Did the innate technique evolve voluntarily by itself?

If this was the case, the innate techniques cultivated in this place would all possess startling might, causing one's combat prowess to reach the supreme limit.

"Suppress!" Qin Wentian wanted to hurriedly prove the conjecture he had in his heart. He opened his mouth and spoke a single world, manifesting an ancient character of suppression that contained an overwhelming suppressive pressure. That word floated in the air, moving towards the mirror-like screen of light.

An instant later, the runic light flashed again. This mirror of light seemed to be analysing his innate technique as well as the law energies he was proficient in. After that, Qin Wentian discovered his reflection in the mirror mimicking his earlier movements, manifesting that word of suppression. However, the amount of suppressive might intensified time after time and at the very end, when the word of suppression was manifested, a resonance was formed in the heavens and earth. Just a single word contained the power of absolute law, exuding a suppressive pressure that was extreme to the limits, having the power to collapse even space itself.

"The might of a single word actually could be so powerful." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. This was the perfection of innate techniques. When he saw the attacks unleashed by his reflection, Qin Wentian couldn't help feeling ashamed. In the sacred academy, his combat prowess made it so that there was almost no opponent who could stand equal to him if they had the same level of cultivation base. Even if he had to jump levels to fight, he didn't doubt his strength at all. His strength was granted by his perfect immortal-foundation, unparalleled physique, augmentation of God's Hand, powering up by the art of truth, as well as the strength of his bloodline. However, disregarding all these factors, he had never thought about his usage of law energy in his innate techniques at all.

Maybe because his comprehension was much higher compared to others, he didn't need to think much about that. But when he saw his own reflection in the mirror, he knew that he still had a long distance to go and still could continue to improve himself, allowing his combat prowess to reach perfection.

There were naturally strong and weak innate techniques but for some people, they could use low-level innate techniques to unleash an extreme might. There were even some who could change the structure of their innate techniques, depending on their own comprehension and proficiency to evolve the techniques. For Qin Wentian himself, he possessed a myriad of techniques and his main dependence now during combat, was the augmentation ability of God's Hand. With the mirror showing him the truth of how far he still was from perfection, how could he not grab this chance to upgrade himself?

This mirror, could also complement the cultivation of this Ten Thousand Laws Record, able to practice each of his innate techniques to their extreme limit. It was a kind of power that enabled him to perfect his innate techniques.

Qin Wentian started to attempt it, beginning from his Heavenly Fiendgod Suppression Art, slowly strengthening it before staring at the mirror-like screen of light as he attempted to gain more insights and cultivate.

This was naturally a very long process. In the external world, Qing`er and the others were still guarding the entrance of the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. As for Qin Wentian's enemies, they no longer came by to create trouble as they were all shocked by Qin Wentian's domineering strength. They also knew that they should focus on raising their cultivation given this rare opportunity for them to be in the sacred academy. If not, they would all surely be easily surpassed by others.

From the beginning when they first entered, Qin Wentian has shaken off too many heaven chosen off his trail. Only being strong himself would he not have to worry about people targeting him to kill him as a bid to cleanse their humiliation.

In addition, with regards to those experts of the Violet Emperor Sect and the Skymist Immortal Empire, with the adjudication in place, there was no way for the Evergreen Immortal Empire to defend against the joint forces of the Eastern Regions. It was only a matter of time before Qing`er would be forced to go the Skymist Immortal Empire. These were all peak powers of the Eastern Regions, despite Qin Wentian's talent, there was no way he would be able to stop this from happening.

In the blink of an eye, several months passed. The people of the sacred academy gradually forgot about Qin Wentian's battle with Lei Ba. There were more and more dazzling battles happening every day. With so many supreme geniuses gathered here, how could there be no clashes?

The disciples of Matriarch Ji tried to persuade Qing`er to leave, they knew that it was impossible for Qin Wentian to exit the second level of the Sky Connecting Realm in a short period of time. Qing`er agreed with them, how would she not miss being together with Qin Wentian? However, one couldn't stop for too long on the path of cultivation. Although she didn't like to talk much, her heart was extremely sensitive. She knew that her immortal empire was facing an extremely heavy pressure. Both her and Qin Wentian needed to grow as much and as soon as possible. There was no way they could delay this opportunity to cultivate presented to them by this sacred academy.

Qin Wentian's good friends all eventually left the area, busy with their own cultivations.

...….

In the blink of an eye, two years passed by. This was the 38th year mark since the sacred academy has opened and today, a flawlessly beautiful figure entered the sacred academy. This beautiful figure was none other than Mo Qingcheng, it was very difficult for her to cross the immortal sea but in the end, she still managed to depend on her own conviction and successfully crossed it.

Mo Qingcheng slowly flew through the air, walking into the sacred academy, staring at the four locations which made up of the entirety of it. Her beautiful eyes flashed with a smile of absolute beauty, so pretty that it could stir one's heart and soul.

Those maidens who broke through to immortal-foundation were all referred to as fairies, their bodies shining with their own immortal light. Their demeanor and aura would change as their appearances would be beautified. Mo Qingcheng originally was already as beautiful as a celestial maiden. Now that she was at the immortal-foundation level, her radiant beauty caused a hundred flowers to lose their color.

"Wentian cultivated here for over thirty years?" Mo Qingcheng mumbled in her heart. She finally arrived at this place where he was in. Given how mystical this sacred academy was, his improvements were bound to be very vast.

When she thought about how she was now in the same place as him, Mo Qingcheng could feel happiness lighting up her heart, as she also felt a sense of closeness. Because in here, there was a person whom she missed and longed for the most.

Several people passing by involuntarily turned to gaze at Mo Qingcheng. It was tough to find a true beauty and given how good-looking Mo Qingcheng was, she was even rarer. Although cultivation held the first place in the heart of cultivators, they still naturally had some space in their heart left to admire beauty. It was only natural that Mo Qingcheng would attract attention.

"What a beautiful woman." Someone sighed with admiration.

"There's one more beauty there, it's Hua Xinyi. Although she's also beautiful, she seems to lose her luster in comparison to this fairy maiden."

"Might I inquire fairy's name?" Some geniuses smiled as they asked. Mo Qingcheng merely smiled at them but didn't reply, avoiding offending them. She just arrived in the sacred academy and naturally she wanted to keep a low profile.

"Might I ask which area in the immortal realms did fairy come from? Another genius stopped in front of Mo Qingcheng and asked with a laugh. Mo Qingcheng glanced at him as she replied, "From a small place very far away."

After that, she lightly nodded and took a small detour around that genius. However, with a flash of his silhouette, that genius continued blocking Mo Qingcheng's path. "Fairy, since you are alone, why don't we travel together."

"A bunch of lecherous wolves." A cold voice snorted. Hua Xinyi walked to the side of Mo Qingcheng, standing shoulder to shoulder with her.

"Scram!" Hua Xinyi snorted. That genius who was blocking Mo Qingcheng stiffened. This Hua Xinyi's talent was considered outstanding but there was nothing he feared about her. What he feared was her dao companion, her dao companion was an extremely terrifying character from the Hundred Refinements Sect, and was rumored to be Li Yufeng's greatest opponent in the past when they both fought for the position of Sage Child.

That person paled, but in the end, he chose to leave.

"Thank you." Mo Qingcheng spoke to Hua Xinyi.

"Don't worry. My name is Hua Xinyi and have been in the academy for over twenty years. I can see that your cultivation isn't high, when did you enter the academy?" That maiden gently asked.

"I just arrived." Mo Qingcheng honestly spoke, given how she just received help from Hua Xinyi.

"Oh. Let me bring you around and introduce the sacred academy to you." Hua Xinyi laughed. Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly and followed after Hua Xinyi.

After stepping into the academy, Hua Xinyi introduced the various sacred cultivation grounds in each of the four academies, and told her about the dao lectures, and Sky Connecting Realm, etc. This made Mo Qingcheng sighed silently. This Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy truly does sound like a holy ground for cultivation. He should be living very well here, right?

On their way, these two beauties naturally attracted plenty of attention. But a majority of the gazes all landed on Mo Qingcheng, causing Hua Xinyi's countenance to look a little unsightly. The meticulous Mo Qingcheng naturally also noticed this, she then stated, "Xinyi, I wish to cultivate alone. You don't need to accompany me any longer."

Hua Xinyi wanted to nod her head but at this very moment, a voice drifted over. "Xinyi, who might this fairy be?"

As the sound of the voice faded, a handsome-looking heaven chosen stepped over. He was a substitute Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect named Dong Linwu, someone with a powerful cultivation base and outstanding talent.

"Linwu." A mesmerizing smile instantly appeared on Hua Xinyi's face. She walked over to Dong Linwu and hugged one of his arm as she replied, "This is a new friend whom I just got acquainted with, Mo Qingcheng."

"Fairy Qingcheng truly has looks that can topple empires." Dong Linwu smiled, his words causing the expression on Hua Xinyi to change. After a moment, she recovered and smiled, "Qingcheng, since you wish to go and cultivate, just go on then. Just remember to be careful since you just entered the academy."

"Fairy Qingcheng just entered the sacred academy?" Dong Linwu stated in bewilderment. "Since Fairy Qingcheng is a friend of Xinyi, why don't we accompany each other as we proceed together? At the very least, we can take care of each other in times of danger."
