Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian vanished once more. This time, he came out to battle because he felt that his emperor’s fate wasn’t strong enough yet. Hence, he came to this location where many geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors gathered, crushing all his enemies to ‘grow’ his emperor’s fate.

After this battle, he left directly, searching for bouts of good fortune in the boundlessly vast City of Ancient Emperors.

Emperor’s fate is collectible amounts of destiny. The stronger one’s destiny is, the more opportunities for good fortune they would be able to see. For this point, Qin Wentian had already verified it. This time, his emperor’s fate grew even more intense and the secrets he was able to see when he passed by some wondrous place, were naturally more in-depth.

As for the voice of that crown prince, although he heard it, he didn’t really bother with it. When one has cultivated to his level, the state of his heart would naturally be extraordinary. How would he be angered because of the words someone had spoken?

In addition, it was rumored that that crown prince was one of those supreme geniuses standing at the very peak in the City of Ancient Emperors, a demon-level genius. Even if he could defeat him, so what of it? Right now, the thing Qin Wentian had to do, was to raise his strength to the peak-stage. When he reached that point, he believed that he would be able to sweep through all immortal kings in the City of Ancient Emperors. At that time, the emperor’s fate here would be all his as more and more destiny accumulated on his body.

However, raising one’s strength wasn’t something that could be done in a single day, especially so when one was already at Qin Wentian’s cultivation realm. Some people were stuck here for thousands or ten thousand of years and were still unable to break through. Although the era was changing and many supreme characters have appeared, but without some opportunities, it was almost impossible for him to reach the peak-stage in a short amount of time.

For such opportunities, Qin Wentian naturally could only search for them in the City of Ancient Emperors.

Not only him, for those geniuses standing at the peak, they were also searching the wilderness for opportunities. Their names have already shook the entire city and all of them had copious amounts of emperor’s fate, almost to the point where their fate turned corporeal. Hence, because they were able to see more things in the City of Ancient Emperors, they naturally learned of more stuff.

This is why the Saber-Sword Immortal King vanished without a trace, but the other ordinary experts who wanted to hunt him down had no idea why this was so. Among them, there were also the immortal kings sent here by the Violet Emperor and a peak-stage crown prince character sent here by the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. The Saber-Sword Immortal King killed many experts from their Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, this debt of vengeance definitely had to be repaid.

There was also that crown prince who sent out the message wanting Qin Wentian to beg for mercy. His voice completely disregarded and the Saber-Sword Immortal King, making it as though his words were a fart. He was naturally extremely enraged and sent out a command to the experts under him to spare no expense and search for the Saber-Sword Immortal King.

However, how would anyone be able to find him? Right now, Qin Wentian came to a remote mountain. He was here before and back then, he already felt that this mountain was unique. His emperor’s fate in the past was enough for him to sense how special this place was, but he wasn’t able to completely see through the secrets here.

This time around, he came here once more after his emperor’s fate increased. His eyes gleamed with a terrifying golden light and in an instant, the scene changed before him. An ancient immortal palace appeared on this desolate mountain. There were tall pavilions around it and even streams of flowing water and a waterfall cascading down at a mountain by the side.

To his shock, Qin Wentian discovered that there were actually two completely different scenes before him.

“Is this the by-product of some illusionary formation? But why are things so real?” Qin Wentian silently mused. He surveyed this space and slowly walked forward. A moment later, he heard the melodious tune of a zither and couldn’t help but to walk in that direction. He came to a pavillion in front of a stream. There was a middle-aged figure with long black hair currently playing a zither.

At this moment, the middle-aged man lifted his gaze and stared at Qin Wentian. At this instant, Qin Wentian seemed to be completely seen through as he entered an illusory void. In this vast space, only he and that man existed.

“Who are you?” An ethereal voice drifted over. Qin Wentian wanted to break free from this illusion yet it was useless no matter how he tried to. This illusion was too tyrannical, dragging him into it with just a glance. He had completely no way to struggle free.

“I’m the Saber-Sword Immortal King.” Qin Wentian spoke.

“That’s not the whole truth, is it? You have a concealment mask on your face. Why are you hiding your identity?” That voice rang out once more. Qin Wentian’s heart trembled, he didn’t expect that he would be seen through by this person.

Qin Wentian removed his mask and revealed his original features. “My name is Qin Wentian. I have no choice but to conceal my identity because I have too many enemies. Senior, please don’t take offense.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the illusory void vanished with it. He once again stood before a middle-aged man who was playing the zither. The eyes of the middle-aged man were extremely terrifying, containing a natural imposingness within.

“Senior, given your cultivation base, why are you in the City of Ancient Emperors?” Qin Wentian was somewhat taken aback.

“You completely have no idea what sort of place the City of Ancient Emperors is, right?” That middle-aged man lifted his head as his black eyes stared at Qin Wentian.

“Junior only heard that the City of Ancient Emperors is in an independent space with dao elements from the other immortal realms in it. I have no idea if this is true or false, would senior please provide me with some guidance?” Qin Wentian clasped his hands and asked. This man was able to cause him to be trapped in an illusion with just a glance, he was most definitely an extremely powerful expert.

“There are a total of three dimensions in this independent space. But for the third-level, it’s known as an overlap dimension with emperors and kings being separated in the same space. In order to prevent emperors from seizing inheritances and good fortune that’s for immortal kings, this was the reason why the overlap dimension was created. You guys cannot see each other, only those at the same realm would be in your vision, but in fact, emperors and kings are both in the same dimension.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. There actually was such a thing?

“As for the dao elements of the other immortal realms, this is true but they wouldn’t be present in all eras. Only when the rules of the City of Ancient Emperors changed and the descent of a brand new supreme era is imminent, would these dao elements appear. Also, in such an era, the price for contending for the inheritances of these dao elements, are all exceedingly great.” That middle-aged man explained.

“What is the price?” Qin Wentian asked.

“When a type of dao element appears, there would definitely be many experts contending against each other. The situation is immensely cruel because the inheritance of each dao elements is only limited to a single person. Hence, the vast majority who fought for it would all end up dying. As long as you want to gain an inheritance, you would have to walk on the path of blood and slaughter, defeating everyone under the heavens.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered as he felt shock in his heart. In that case, the reason why the black dragon said the rules and era have changed and wanted him to start all over again, contending against the other supreme genius, was this?

“Why is senior so clear about these things?” Qin Wentian curiously asked. “Senior, who are you? Why are you here?”

“Haha, do you feel it’s strange? Because, I’m one of those who failed to gain an inheritance from the dao elements and is suppressed within the City of Ancient Emperors forever.” That expert sighed, causing Qin Wentian’s heart to pound rapidly. “Senior, you are someone from the ancient era?”

“That’s right. Not only me, for every era, but the number of corpses here are countless. But there are also many supreme characters who didn’t die. Their cultivations were sealed and they were suppressed within the city. Ordinary people would have no way to sense or see us but because you have enough emperor’s fate and also cultivate a similar kind of law attribute with me, you are able to sense this place and see me.

“What law attribute?” Qin Wentian asked.

“The law energy of dreams.”

“Is this place a dreamscape created by senior?” Qin Wentian’s gaze flickered. “In that case, that illusory void I was trapped in before, was a dream created by senior?”

“Your reaction is really fast. Whatever you see here, they are all dreams. When dream force fused with some other energy, the people trapped within would feel that there’s no difference from reality despite everything being illusory. Upon seeing the amount of emperor’s fate on your body, I can tell that the rules of the city have changed and the new era is arriving.” That middle-aged man sighed.

“How can junior help senior to break free from here?” Qin Wentian asked.

“Help me to break free? Hahaha!” That middle-aged man started laughing uproariously. “We are connected by fate that’s why I decided to meet you and tell you of the cruel truth. You best take care of yourself.”

As the sound of his voice faded, the scene before his eyes dissipated away. Qin Wentian was still standing before the mountain, but everything before his eyes now was just a stretch of desolation. That middle-aged man was as though he didn’t exist.

Qin Wentian sat cross-legged and directly cultivated right here on the spot. Overlapping dimensions, dreams like reality. Qin Wentian felt that he had gained an insight. He could sense the remnants of the dream force lingering in the area. Before this, he used the laws of dreams to create a nightmare sword art, but dream force should be able to be used for other things instead.

Each cultivation session allowed Qin Wentian’s comprehension of law energies to deepen as his cultivation base climbed up bit by bit.

After a long period of time, Qin Wentian departed. He continued roaming the wilderness and saw many wondrous sights and even entered some secret ruins to cultivate. He had his own opportunities and unknowingly, he had already spent many years in the City of Ancient Emperors.

During these years, the City of Ancient Emperors kept changing and many phenomenons appeared. For example, there was a giant towering tree whose peak touched the sky, it radiated a terrifying law energy that provided a boost to people cultivating underneath it. There were flowers being birthed on mountains, transforming it into a prairie, exuding power from the laws of wind and lightning that killed anyone who neared it.

These wondrous phenomenons were similar to the descent of the Demongod Moutnain. Many people said that they are a prior indication that many opportunities of vast good fortune would soon appear. A major storm would soon sweep across the City of Ancient Emperors.

Finally, the day everyone was talking about, was here.

In the airspace of the City of Ancient Emperors, a brilliant light cascaded down, illuminating everything. At this instant, that towering tree grew more vibrant, it’s branches curled together, as though it was paying respects to a divinity. The flower petals of the prairie swirled about agitatedly, brimming with vitality to welcome the change.

At this moment, the countless supreme characters of the City of Ancient Emperors lifted their heads and stared up at the sky. Over there, they could see boundless runic light transforming into ancient runes of the great dao, shocking each of their hearts.

“Inheritances that we can gain from the dao elements? Are these the stories mentioned in legends? There really are inheritances from the other immortal realms here in the City of Ancient Emperors!” Someone exclaimed in shock.
