Chapter 1063: Stepping into the Ancient Mountain
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The experts gathered in the God Hand Mountain Manor increased in number. The immortal emperors present attempted many times and understood that immortal foundation experts were the best choice to try it. Only they had a chance to enter the depths of the ancient mountain, and comprehend the divine essence of God's Hand, obtaining the full complete version. Hence, they summoned many immortal foundation people from their sects and clans.
In fact. right now there were already immortal foundation experts that had entered the ancient mountain. But these people could only walk near the boundary of the entrance and had no way to enter deeper. Only a rare few supreme geniuses among them had vanished from the perception and vision of the crowd, managing to advance into the depths of the mountain.
Qin Wentian was in no hurry. He was sitting cross-legged, staring at the diagram of God's Hand formed by Emperor Yu as he silently continued to perceive and comprehend.
Leaving aside immortal emperors and immortal kings who had extraordinary comprehension prowess, at the level of immortal foundation, Qin Wentian believed that there's no one here who had a deeper understand of God's Hand compared to him. After all, he is the only one who had cultivated the rudimentary form of this secret art before and could already unleash its power. His comprehension towards the complete God's Hand got deeper and deeper as he learned of more principles behind the transformations and how to manifest them
Emperor Yu was as carefree as ever, sitting in a pavilion enjoying the banquet. No matter how many people arrived at the mountain manor, he didn't seem to care at all, allowing them to do what they wanted. It was like all of this had nothing to do with him.
"Ziyu, are you not entering?" The immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan asked Jiang Ziyu who was currently sitting cross-legged. There were already many who stepped into the ancient mountain, including people from the Ying Clan. However, Jiang Ziyu seemed content to wait.
"There's no hurry, I wish to comprehend the energy from God's Hand more first. The more familiar I am, the more advantageous it would be when it comes to comprehending the divine essence. In addition, I'm waiting for one person to enter first." Jiang Ziyu spoke in a low voice while glancing at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was someone who had cultivated God's Hand once before. Since Qin Wentian wasn't in a hurry, why should he be in a hurry?
"In that case I will get the other members of our Jiang Clan to wait with you." The immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan spoke. Although there were other geniuses of the Jiang Clan present, Jiang Ziyu's talent was the highest and his status among these people was the highest as well. If anyone could comprehend God's Hand, Jiang Ziyu would be the one who had the greatest hope. The other geniuses of the Jiang Clan were here merely to assist him.
Nanfeng Guhong wasn't in a rush too. She stared at Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi and she planned to ask the members of the Southern Phoenix Clan to accompany them both when they entered.
Qin Wentian spent a few more days in comprehension. His body faintly shimmered with immortal light but there was a huge transformation in his body. Numerous complex runes appeared on top of his immortal foundation as they transformed into different kinds of runic diagrams, filling him with extreme energy, and would permeate the entire area if he didn't suppress them. However, he seemed to be lacking a single step. This was like the time when he went to the underground palace with Xiao Lengyue. Only the form of God's Hand was there, it was not until he learned the oracular chant and comprehended the divine essence from the blood-colored runes did he finally discover how to activate the rudimentary form of God's Hand.
The secret should really be inside the ancient mountain.
Today, a mysterious figure appeared at the God Hand Mountain Manor. There was a gigantic huge black hound that exuded a terrifying balefulness who came here together with this person. The eyes of the hound shone with a fearsome phantom-like light, causing chills in the hearts of everyone when they looked at it.
The person beside this black hound wore simple long robes and exuded a mysterious aura. His features and age couldn't be seen as there was a mysterious bronze mask obscuring his face. However his eyes that were revealed, were immeasurably deep and cold, one could feel a sense of supreme sharpness from them. But even so, one could also tell that this person shouldn't be old and should be a young man. His cultivation base was only at the immortal foundation level.
Jiang Ziyu glanced at this mysterious newcomer. His eyes turned incomparably terrifying, shining with a bright light as he wanted to see past all the mysteries surrounding this new arrival. At the same time, the masked young man sensed Jiang Ziyu's gaze as he too, looked over to him. Jiang Ziyi only saw a pair of eyes containing a formless shield-type energy, blocking his perception completely. He had no way to see through this masked young man.
Jiang Ziyu's eyes flickered, he didn't expect there would be someone like this here. Things were getting more and more interesting.
The mysterious masked young man glanced at everyone before closing his eyes in meditation. Everyone saw that he was alone and didn't really bother with him. In fact there were even people who silently sneered, thinking that this young man had nothing better to do, wanting to act mysterious. What a waste of time.
At this moment Qin Wentian stood up. Several people turned their gazes onto him only to see him nodding his head to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya.
"You seem to be living very well in the Southern Phoenix Clan." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord smiled when he saw the many beauties beside Qin Wentian.
"Not too bad. The Southern Phoenix Clan really takes good care of me." Qin Wentian smiled.
"Mhm, seems like your harvest this trip isn't little. Anyway, it's about time for you to enter." The Thousand Transformation Emperor Lord spoke.
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded as his gaze turned to the ancient mountain. Stepping out, he moved in that direction.
Nanfeng Yunxi and the others from the Southern Phoenix Clan followed after. The group of young geniuses beside the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya also stepped out, preparing to enter the ancient mountain.
Jiang Ziyu stood up as he commanded, "Let's go."
As the sound of his voice faded, the experts from the Jiang Clan also moved towards the ancient mountain.
Dongsheng Ting stared at Qin Wentian's silhouette as his eyes gleamed with coldness. Following which, he and the other experts from the immortal emperor-ranked powers also moved out at the same time. It was like because of Qin Wentian's actions, it triggered everyone to act as well.
After all the immortal foundation characters entered the ancient mountain. That mysterious masked young man gently stroked the fur of the black hound before leading it together with him as they walked towards the ancient mountain.
Very swiftly, only immortal kings and emperors remained here, as well as some who failed to gain entry to the mountain.
"With so many geniuses coming here to seek good fortune, there would surely be some that died within. In addition, there are also descendants of many of you entering there, so let me remind you that if they unfortunately die in there, don't blame this old man for it. This is the road you all have chosen." Emperor Yu spoke, his tone was filled with indifference.
"Hmph." The Violet Emperor snorted coldly. Among his descendants, Zi Daoyang was the youngest with the lowest cultivation base. As for his other sons and daughters, they were no longer at the immortal foundation realm. This time around, he sent a nephew with outstanding talent into the ancient mountain.
"Naturally. There would surely be some who die within." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly spoke as he turned his gaze over to the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
"Eastern Sage. Who do you think would die if Qin Wentian encountered Dongsheng Ting inside there alone?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed as he stared at the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's eyes flickered with coldness, "Qin Wentian would die."
"Is that so? But I heard that your precious son Dongsheng Ting didn't even have the courage to fight one-on-one against Qin Wentian." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord mocked. "Bai Wuya told me that back when you went to his particle world for disciple recruitment purposes, Qin Wentian was merely a low-level ascendant while your son Dongsheng Ting was already a high up and lofty immortal foundation expert. Your son is truly trash, he doesn't even dare to fight? Such a coward, let's hope he can walk out of the ancient mountain alive."
The expression on Eastern Sage's face turned extremely cold as a tyrannical might exuded from him. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord laughed coldly, "What? You want to fight me now?"
"Thousand Transformations, let's hope that you can continue to be so arrogant." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor threatened. He then turned to Bai Wuya, his eyes gleaming with coldness. Back then during the war in the particle world, if it wasn't for Bai Wuya interfering, his Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would have already decimated the experts of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
Right now, Qin Wentian and the others successfully stepped through the entrance and were already in the ancient mountain. There seemed to be a marvelous energy in the atmosphere inside the mountain.
However right now, all of a sudden, a rushing sound rang out as an ethereal gigant palm imprint appeared out of nowhere, ferociously blasting towards them.
Qin Wentian's immortal foundation gushed forth with might as he activated God's Hand, blasting a palm strike towards that gigantic ethereal palm imprint.
The others here also experienced the impact, but when they fought back against the ethereal palm imprint, the repulsion effect wasn't as strong as that of Qin Wentian.
"What secrets lie within this mountain exactly?" Qin Wentian mused. As he took another step forward, the motes of marvelous energy in here interweaved together and formed another palm imprint that shone with divine light. Another burst of rushing sound rang out as the giant palm smashed into Qin Wentian. At the instant of impact, a bolt of lightning went off in Qin Wentian's mind. That was precisely the energy of the giant palm that struck him earlier.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's body trembled violently. He gave a low groan of misery as his countenance turned somewhat pale.
This unfathomable ancient mountain was simply terrifying.
Nanfeng Yunxi and Jun Mengchen also encountered attacks, yet the power in those attacks weren't as intense as Qin Wentian. Although it was uncomfortable, they could endure it and there was no problem for them to enter the ancient mountain. This was something the immortal emperors had deduced after attempting many times. Immortal foundation characters were the most suitable people to enter the ancient mountain.
Jiang Ziyu and his group were behind Qin Wentian. He waited for Qin Wentian to enter before doing so himself. His eyes shone with a terrifying golden light as he radiated a towering might. A white tiger manifested and rushed out with thunderous roars, defending against something. Evidently, his eyes could see something others could not. He saw traces of the divine essence.
"How strange. Despite me being at the immortal foundation realm, I can already see some traces of the divine essence. If immortal emperors could enter, wouldn't they be able to see through everything? Also, it seems that the more you can see, the stronger the force in those conjured attacks against you would be. Immortal emperors might not even be able to withstand the brunt of a full-powered attack. These ancient emperors truly lived up to their reputation, they are too terrifying." Jiang Ziyu silently mused, he became much more cautious than before, and didn't dare to activate his heavenly vision technique of the buddhist path casually.
Dongsheng Ting stared at the back view of Qin Wentian. To him, the main purpose of entering here was to kill Qin Wentian.
Behind Dongsheng Ting and his comrades, the mysterious masked young man closed his eyes and sealed away all his six senses as he slowly proceeded on. He didn't encounter any resistance. The reason he was here, wasn't for God's Hand.
"Although we were attacked, the formless intent of those attacks would gush into our mind, allowing us to sense the divine essence. Truly, it bears a hint of resemblance to the form of God's Hand which Emperor Yu showed us earlier." Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a low voice. She then continued, "However, the distance between the true God's Hand and this is simply too far apart. I'm afraid that to many people, they are all risking their lives in this expedition for nothing."
"This is indeed so." Qin Wentian nodded. "Everyone, it is better to be more careful."
As they spoke, they continued advancing into the depths of the ancient mountain. In front of them were many experts who also chose to enter the mountain. All their steps were filled with cautiousness, advancing at a very slow pace.
