Qin Wentian, Qing`er and Nanfeng Yunxi gradually retracted their auras, not bothering to pursue Mo Xie. It wasn?t going to be an easy task if they truly wanted to kill a character like him. Defeating and killing were completely different concepts altogether, let alone the fact that Mo Xie would surely have a protective strand of immortal sense as well as a powerful immortal-ranked weapon.
Now, Mo Xie was beaten back in defeat, and Qin Wentian managed to seize the inheritance. For now, this was already enough.
The other geniuses inclined their heads and stared upwards. The runic light from the body-like statues had already dimmed, and the vivid memories had also vanished as they were obtained by Qin Wentian. They weren?t fortunate enough to seize this inheritance.
They didn?t get the chance to obtain the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?s inheritance, and now they?d lost the opportunity here as well.
Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue felt the most miserable. They watched on as Qin Wentian seized the inheritance. In fact, they would have felt better if the person who obtained this inheritance was Mo Xie.
“What did you acquire?” Xiao Lengyue?s cold eyes watched Qin Wentian as she asked.
Qin Wentian?s eyes turned to her, staring at Xiao Lengyue as he replied, “What does it have to do with you?”
“The three of you had to join forces before you could defeat Mo Xie. What an unfair battle, there?s nothing for you to feel proud about. If not, how could this inheritance land in your hands? Even if you seized it, it would land in Mo Xie?s hands sooner or later.” Xiao Lengyue icily retorted. “Since the three of you can join forces to acquire the inheritance, then the City of Ancient Emperors has plenty of geniuses as well. What makes you think that we can?t join forces to make you remain behind?”
“You are truly a despicable slut. You actually have the face to say such words?” Jun Mengchen spat out before Qin Wentian could reply. “Before this, my senior brother alone could already jump levels and crush you. Do you even know what shame is?”
Xiao Lengyue?s countenance turned extremely unsightly when she heard Jun Mengchen?s words. Qin Wentian also stared at her in cold disdain. He lifted his foot, as boundless runic light flowed around him while an immense startling aura gushed forth from him. He didn?t say anything in response to Jun Mengchen, simply walking towards Xiao Lengyue. “Are you saying you want to seize my inheritance?”
When she saw Qin Wentian stepping closer and closer, Xiao Lengyue suddenly felt an extreme amount of pressure. Qin Wentian?s body seemed to contain a shocking energy. His aura was unbelievably vast, and only when the pressure was boring down on her did she know how terrifying it was. Even before Qin Wentian had drawn close to her, Xiao Lengyue could already feel a crushing force bearing down on all parts of her body. It felt as if Qin Wentian was already able to radiate an incomparably suppressive pressure, just by simply standing there.
“Is this the strength of a supreme physique? Qin Wentian succeeded in establishing one earlier?” The crowd mused in their hearts. The pressure bearing down on Xiao Lengyue grew even more intense, many times greater compared to when she last fought with him.
“Why are you so silent now?” Qin Wentian?s God?s Hand shone with a dazzling light and its might could shake even the heavens. Xiao Lengyue turned ashen as she spoke, “There are so many of us here, do you think we?re scared of the three of you?”
?BOOM!? Qin Wentian?s God?s Hand blasted out, instantly manifesting a gigantic annihilative suppression palm imprint. Xiao Lengyue completely turned white. A powerful freezing energy gushed forth from her as she shot out a palm strike in response, attempting to freeze the area as it collided with Qin Wentian?s God?s Hand.
?BANGBANGBANG!? The horrific freezing energy was immediately crushed apart. That gigantic annihilative suppression palm imprint blotted out the skies, sweeping over everything. Xiao Lengyue hurriedly retreated, unleashing her Frozen Extermination Finger attacks to freeze the gigantic palm imprint. However, everything was useless. The might within the palm was simply too boundless and it broke through all she could throw at it, before finally slamming into her. She channeled the entirety of her energy to resist, but she was still flung through the air and ruthlessly smashed into a wall. With a groan of misery, her face turned even more pale than before.
“Just you? Are you even qualified to seize this inheritance?” Qin Wentian mocked. His eyes turned to the rest of the geniuses. The sharpness in his eyes was a warning to the others. If they wanted to band together to deal with him and his companions, they?d better be prepared to pay the price.
Qin Wentian alone already constituted a major threat. Not to mention he now had Qing`er and Nanfeng Yunxi as his allies. Nobody dared to move recklessly. Mo Xie on his own had been enough of a threat to make them stay their hands… they couldn?t even challenge him, let alone the three who?d injured and beaten back Mo Xie. In addition, each of them were even stronger than Xiao Lengyue individually. No one here was confident enough to try and seize the inheritance and still believe that they could get out in one piece. Not only that, even if they did succeed in seizing the inheritance from Qin Wentian now, Mo Xie was still at large somewhere out there.
“Let?s leave.” Qin Wentian turned and spoke to his companions. After which, their entire group walked out.
Very swiftly, they reached the exit. Ahead of them was the place where the Brahma Heavenly Emperor had left his inheritance. The terrifying gray-colored aura was still radiating outwards. Back then, the two supreme characters fought in this place, and the Brahma Heavenly Emperor had vanished forever. The two ancient emperors both left their inheritances here and now, their legacies had finally been passed on.
The Brahma Heavenly Emperor split his inheritance into nine portions. Once these inheritors finished comprehending it, another storm of blood would surely rise again in the immortal realms.
“Have you really obtained the inheritance of that ancient emperor?” Nanfeng Yunxi asked Qin Wentian.
“I guess so. However, this ancient emperor is different from the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. He didn?t leave behind his cultivation art, but rather, he wants his inheritor to establish a supreme physique in order to inherit his true legacy?the way of establishing an immortal foundation. From then on, that person will soar high in the skies, and his successor will surely have his own path to walk, rather than tracing the steps he once took.” Qin Wentian could understand that supreme character?s thoughts. Before this, he had already sensed from the memories how difficult that supreme character?s path of cultivation was. There had been past feelings of helplessness, bitterness, and of despair. These two emotions were something no stellar martial cultivator could hide from. For anyone who wished to become a supreme existence, they definitely had to experience everything they could.
He was willing to take the first step in carving out a path for the later generations. As for the journey to this path of cultivation, his inheritor would make his own way forward.
“The method to establish an immortal foundation?” Nanfeng Yunxi mumbled as she continued asking.
“Yes. The method to shatter one?s own immortal foundation as well. The immortal foundation this ancient emperor established back then was none other than the legendary saint-grade immortal foundation,” Qin Wentian replied.
“Saint-grade immortal foundation?!” Nanfeng Yunxi?s expression completely froze. “In cultivation, immortal foundations can be classified into six tiers further broken down into three grades. For the first three tiers, they are known as the mortal grade. For the first tier, they?re considered the weakest of all immortals; the second tier, the second weakest; and for the third tier, they are considered ordinary but better than average and still have enough potential to obtain some achievements during the immortal-foundation realm. The vast majority of people in the immortal realms have all established a third-tier foundation. As for the fourth tier and fifth tier, they are none other than the king and emperor grades. Those who can establish a fourth-tier immortal foundation all have a very high chance of being able to become an immortal king or even an immortal emperor. Currently, among the many immortal kings in the immortal realms, the majority of them have established a fourth-tier immortal foundation. As for those who can establish the fifth tier, the emperor grade, from what I know… only the supreme immortal emperors who?ve stood at the very peak have managed to establish an emperor-grade immortal foundation.”
Nanfeng Yunxi?s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian, filled with traces of envy. He actually obtained a method of establishing a saint-grade immortal foundation. Although this wasn?t an innate technique or cultivation art that could directly raise his strength, an immortal foundation was the basis of all immortals. The first realm of immortality was known as the immortal-foundation realm and hence, the more perfect an immortal foundation one could establish, the more help it would be to that person?s cultivation in his or her future.
“That powerful?” Qin Wentian was extremely shocked. He then smiled and said, “As expected of an inheritance left behind by an ancient emperor strong enough to stand against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. That casting body allowed people to establish their physiques, and that was merely the first step to pave the way for one?s immortal foundation. Since this is so powerful, I will impart this to you as well. In that case, you might have a chance to gain a more powerful immortal foundation.”
Nanfeng Yunxi stood completely rooted to the spot, staring dazedly at Qin Wentian?s smile. For a moment, she couldn?t believe what she?d just heard. That cold and arrogant face of hers had a dumbfounded expression on it as she asked, “Really…?”
“What do I have to gain by lying to you?” Qin Wentian shrugged. Upon seeing Qin Wentian?s gaze, Nanfeng Yunxi was simply stunned. The method of establishing a saint-grade immortal foundation… but Qin Wentian was actually willing to impart his knowledge to her so easily?
“Why?” Nanfeng Yunxi asked.
“This…” Qin Wentian stared at Nanfeng Yunxi. These beauties all seemed to have a one-track mind. They were already in an alliance, and had even fought side by side before. If it weren?t for Nanfeng Yunxi?s assistance, Qin Wentian understood that Qing`er would have probably found it difficult to fight against Mo Xie. Wasn?t it only logical that he shared the inheritance after obtaining it?
“Because you are beautiful, hmm…” Qin Wentian teased smilingly, his words causing Nanfeng Yunxi to blink her beautiful eyes, followed by another blink…
However, Qin Wentian soon regretted saying this. He suddenly felt a glare as cold as ten-thousand-year-old ice shooting his way from the side. But when he turned his gaze over, Qing`er was staring in another direction, and he had no way of knowing what she was thinking.
“Qing`er!” Qin Wentian stepped forward, pulling on Qing`er?s hand. Qing`er tried to shake him off, but Qin Wentian stubbornly continued to hold on. Lightly pinching her palm, he smiled awkwardly, “But of course, my Qing`er is still the most beautiful one.”
From the side, Nanfeng Yunxi?s countenance was instantly filled with black lines. And with that, any goodwill she had for Qin Wentian had all completely dissipated. What a shameless fellow…
“However, you all have to remember this. The prerequisite for shattering your immortal foundations requires you to first have a supremely strong physique. After I impart the method to you guys, if your physiques aren?t powerful enough, do not even attempt to shatter your immortal foundation,” Qin Wentian explained, suddenly solemn. Nanfeng Yunxi knew that Qin Wentian was warning them out of his own goodwill, so she nodded her head in agreement. This was probably why the ancient emperor had created the golden body in the first place; he?d wanted his inheritor to first establish a supreme physique.
“My physique should be strong enough,” Jun Mengchen confidently declared.
“Mhm, however shattering the immortal foundation is an extremely critical matter. It doesn?t guarantee that one will be able to establish a better immortal foundation than the one they shattered. Everything is still dependent on the individual,” Qin Wentian warned.
“Let?s leave first, or do you want to wait for Little Rascal to come out?” Qing`er asked.
“Let?s go. Little Rascal is extremely intelligent, so nothing bad should happen to him. In any case, that mysterious gray-robed old man seems to have opened up a path for people to leave the Underworld Mountains.” Qin Wentian stared ahead, and could see the other geniuses of the City of Ancient Emperors heading over. The Underworld Mountains was no longer a forbidden ground, but the inheritances of the two ancient emperors were already gone.
In the City of Ancient Emperors, the news of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor and that other supreme existence swiftly circulated around, causing countless people to sigh. They were a step too slow; all the inheritances had already been taken away.
Those who?d managed to succeed in obtaining an inheritance were Zi Daoyang, Mo Xie, Qin Wentian, Zhan Peng, and Qin Wentian?s demonic beast companion. Qin Wentian?s name once again resounded throughout the City of Ancient Emperors.
And for the latest update in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, there was a shocking change for the names of the top ten. Qin Wentian?s name had actually replaced the previous #4 Xuan Yang, pushing him down the rankings.
As for Xuan Yang, not only was he kicked off from the #4 ranking, he wasn?t even ranked #5. The #5 ranker was still Qing`er. Xuan Yang was now only strong enough to rank #6.
Qin Wentian had already begun his meteoric rise from being a nobody. Obtaining the God?s Hand, seizing an inheritance from Mo Xie?s hands, directly sweeping apart the vast majority of people in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, obtaining the fourth rank. For a period of time, his fame for his combat prowess was unparalleled!
