Ancient Godly Monarch

The Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy was located right at the center of Daoask City, the academy resembled a majestic flying city, absorbing the boundless astral light cascading down, like it was receiving the transmittance of the great dao of the heavens and earth.

Qin Wentian came to the stairway below the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Countless people were around it and many of them had stepped on the stairway. Each individual here were all extraordinary characters. Qin Wentian began to climb the stairs, there were several people around him who did so as well and when they arrived outside the gate of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, he discovered that the guards here were all immortal emperors.

“Skyopener Realmlord’s disciples are here to visit the sacred academy.” A few figures walked out and bowed towards the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, their tones extremely polite.

“Xumi Realmlord’s four law kings are here to pay a visit to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.” Another four figures dressed in kasaya bowed as they spoke. There were still many people following behind them.

More and more people standing at the side spoke out. Qin Wentian felt extremely shocked, many of these people were from supreme powers, either personal disciples of a world overlord or their direct subordinates. This made Qin Wentian feel that something was wrong. Since these people had such close relationship with world overlords, why do they still need to report their master’s name when they came here? It didn’t seem as though they were here to seek dao.

“Qin Wentian, a student of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy from the lower world, is here to pay a visit to the sacred academy.” Qin Wentian walked up and clasped his hands with a respectful attitude. Since this was a holy ground, he naturally had to have respect in his heart. In addition, it was true that the guidance of the sacred academy had gave him many benefits before, especially during the dao lectures he had heard back then when in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

“Lower world?” The two guards glanced at Qin Wentian. They then transmitted their voices, “Which of the thirty-two other immortal realms are you from?”

“Azure Mystic.” Qin Wentian transmitted back his reply. The guards nodded, they then glanced at everyone, “Please enter then, there will naturally be people receiving you inside.”

“Many thanks.” Everyone nodded and stepped into the gate leading to the sacred academy. This particular Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy was extremely mysterious, it was unknown how vast the inside was. There seemed to be a world inside a world, leading to a separate dimension.

After entering the sacred academy, everyone was led to a certain area where they could rest. Not only they were here, many others have also already arrived here and all the experts now were in earnest discussion.

“The four Xumi law kings.” At this moment, someone noticed the four monks. The person who spoke was an emaciated, frail-looking individual. His skin was extremely white and he radiated a gloomy aura.

“The people of the White Bone Realm are also here to create trouble?” The Xumi law kings calmly questioned. Their words caused the people around the individual who spoke earlier to laugh coldly. They were indeed from the White Bone Realm.

“The Skyopener sages are here as well.” Someone stared at the several experts from the Skyopener Realm, causing many people to turn their gazes there as well. Skyopener sages are personal disciples of the Skyopener Realmlord. They are all extremely strong and have arrived here at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy as well.

“Currently, it can be said that experts all around have gathered here at the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Who would have thought that despite the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms being in decline for so long, it actually still poses such a great attractiveness and attracted so many disciples and subordinates of world overlords to rush here.” A person crossed his arms before his chest and laughed. His words caused Qin Wentian’s eyes to gleam with sharpness.

Azure Mystic?

These experts who came here to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy from all directions were actually for the sake of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?

“Although it has declined, it was once glorious before. After that war countless years before, somebody imposed a ban on Azure Mystic, forbidding all empyrean-level characters from entering. The various superpowers were all reluctant to accept this. From what I know, through these countless years, they have never stop their probing of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.” Someone explained. Many people knew of this point. It was said that from ancient times until now, there would always be dao elements from here, manifesting themselves in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Was the purpose of the dao elements really just to accept talented disciples from there?

“In that case, does anyone know why the ban on entering the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms is relaxed?” Someone asked. Many people frowned in puzzlement. Through these countless years, they had always been forbidden from going there. Many people had no idea why the ban was now relaxed.

“The information is transmitted down to us by those above, how can we be capable of knowing everything? In fact, I know that we are already considered slow. Some supreme powers already have Azure Mystic’s spatial coordinates and they have already set off. Sadly, we can only wait here for now.”

“It’s already considered very kind for the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy to agree to send us directly into the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. What more do you guys want?” Somebody grumbled.

“I said the wrong thing in haste, I don’t mean anything by it.” That person laughed.

Qin Wentian felt more and more worried the more he listened. As expected, these people came here to the sacred academy for the same purpose as him. He had originally wanted to come to the sacred academy to find out more about the coordinates of his home, he didn’t expect to encounter such a troublesome matter.

He suddenly remembered that it was Ancient Emperor Yi who told the Gemini World Palace Lord to tell him to come to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Did he already know of the situation here?

“Everyone, can I ask a question. When will we be able to set off?” Qin Wentian asked.

Many people glanced at him. One of them then laughed, “A month later.”

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. Right now, the ban on the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms have been relaxed. Many groups of experts led their subordinates, all of them wanting to head there. He should summon some subordinates here as well or after reaching the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, there might be unexpected trouble and he would be ill-equipped to handle everything alone.

“What secret is hidden within the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms exactly?” Qin Wentian silently mused. There were inheritances of different dao elements in the City of Ancient Emperors, there must be a reason for that. Also, all the powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have never stopped their probing of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. This instantly made Qin Wentian think about the Heavenly Talisman Realm.

The Heavenly Talisman Realm had stayed in seclusion, hiding themselves in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms for a very long time. What end purpose do they have exactly? In the past, he was one of their selected members. Now that he thought back to it, their purpose doesn’t seem to be so simple as just recruiting talented disciples.

Also, in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Mountains, that crazy old freak managed to send him and Youhuang through the boundless starry space, right into the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. That mysterious old freak, what sort of terrifying existence was he exactly?

The disciples and subordinates of the various Realmlords and world overlords all came here to borrow the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy’s ability to teleport to Azure Mystic. Clearly, even world overlords didn’t have the power to teleport someone directly from here, through the boundless starry space, to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.

Qin Wentian’s heart was filled with worry and unease when he thought about so many experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms are leading groups of subordinates to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Many of the people here were existences on the same level as him, empyrean-level existences that were the same as ancient emperors back in Azure Mystic. An empyrean was sufficient to sweep aside everything in his old world. He naturally couldn’t help but to worry. He wanted nothing more than for time to speed up so he could return to Azure Mystic faster.

“The ban on the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms is relaxed, but are world overlords still forbidden from entering there?” Qin Wentian asked again These people were all subordinates of different Realmlords. Not one of the world overlords had come here personally.

“That’s indeed so, this is truly strange. I wonder who exactly is the person who imposed the ban. Why would he relax its criteria now and allow people from our Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to enter, yet world overlords are still forbidden.” Someone spoke in bewilderment.

“How could the thoughts of an existence at that level be something we can guess at? Since he has relaxed the ban, we might be able to obtain unimaginable rewards in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms this time.”

“Mhm. I wonder how many people would go there this time around.” Everyone was in fervent discussion. Qin Wentian was still extremely worried but he could do nothing but to wait. Even if he could find the spatial coordinates on his own and traverse through the starry space by himself, even if he didn’t encounter any danger, the time needed would still be extremely long. Waiting here for a month was actually already considered short.

Upon thinking of this, he could only try go calm himself down as he temporarily rested at the sacred academy.

During these few days, more and more experts gathered at the sacred academy, all of them were here to head to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms and many had extraordinary identities. There were also many who went to tour Daoask City to while time away but Qin Wentian didn’t have any mood for that. He continued to quietly wait in the sacred academy, feeling that time was passing extremely slowly.

This short period of one month felt exceedingly long to him. But finally, the wait had ended.

Today, the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy gathered those who wished to head to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Qin Wentian also summoned his subordinates to come here secretly for the sake of hiding things from Ye Qianyu.

Among his subordinates, three out of the nine monarchs under him were here, in addition to two governors. The two governors were the eastern governor Lin Ba and northern governor Xu Li. They had mobilized some subordinates to come here together with them. Qin Wentian was worried that he wouldn’t have enough men after they reached the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms and thus, he sent for a regiment of immortal emperor-ranked subordinates to aid him. Only by doing so could he ease his worries a little. Doing things would be more convenient as well.

The people of the sacred academy then led all the experts to a place where a gigantic star platform was located. At this area, the boundless astral light from the heavens cascaded down and was converging onto the platform. This star platform shone brilliantly and was akin to a superstorm giant teleportation array.

Everyone respectively walked up the star platform, they only felt as though it was like stepping into space. The people of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy adjusted the spatial coordinates. Star light flashed and a star region map appeared on the star platform. Boundless points of light could be seen surrounding a huge continent-like location.

“That place must be the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, right?” In that case the boundless points of light must be the particle worlds around it.” Qin Wentian silently speculated, his heart filled with an intense anticipation. Finally, could he return? He had waited far too long for this day to come.

“Everyone the journey there might take some time, just remain in the array and don’t panic.” The people of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy explained. Everyone nodded, the weakest of the experts here were at least at the immortal emperor realm. They naturally wouldn’t be frightened easily.

“Alright, we are going to activate the teleportation array to send all of you to Azure Mystic now.” That person spoke and retreated after that. The light cascading down on the star platform grew increasingly resplendent, until it became extremely blinding. After that, a wave of terrifying spatial fluctuations gushed forth and at the next instant, everyone felt as though the stars above them have changed. They had started on the journey of traversing through the starry space.

The scenes around them changed at rapid speed, they were shuttling through the boundless starry space, resembling shooting stars. They felt as though their bodies were out of control, like their bodies were not their own.

This was a grand teleportation through the boundless space, capable of traversing past different immortal realms. The speed naturally would reach a terrifying extent. No matter how the scenery around them changed, their target was fixed, constant and unchanging. This made their hearts feel at ease. Their targeted location was getting nearer and nearer in their vision at every passing second!
