Ancient Godly Monarch

Qin Wentian stood on the constellation. He could sense traces of the dao of the sword all around him, which were akin to heavenly might. The entirety of the sword-form constellation radiated it. At this moment, Qin Wentian truly understood. So it turned out after they formed an innate connection with the respective constellations and condensed their astral souls, the energy they gained access to was the most basic form of astral energy. Only after they stepped into a high enough realm would they be able to gain access to the full power of the constellation, the so-called power of heavenly dao.

Each constellation contained a different type of heavenly dao might.

Qin Wentian stared at the nine heavenly layers, at the boundless starry space. He involuntarily fell into a daze. If each and every one of the constellations here could represent the might of the heavenly dao, how were the countless constellations in the nine heavenly layers born? Did they exist even before humans appeared? This universe was truly marvelous. He couldn’t help but wonder if he would be able to probe such secrets when he reached the cultivation realm of the white-robed young man.

However, Qin Wentian could understand what it meant for them to come here. It meant that for each of them, they would have the opportunity to sense different types of heavenly dao, the power of heavenly deities. This time, it was definitely sufficient to send the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms into a frenzy. He could already anticipate that for experts at the world overlord realm and above, they would surely rush over to the Heaven Vault.

And just like what he expected, right now after the various powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms obtained the news, all of them set out, heading towards the Boundless Ocean. After that, the news further circulated to the other weaker powers in all areas of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, causing an unprecedented commotion of immense magnitude. The legendary Heaven Vault could actually connect the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to the nine heavenly layers.

The people outside were in a frenzy, it was the same for the experts currently inside Heaven Vault as well. After they perceived the energy contained within the constellations, all of them started to cultivate assiduously. They knew that this was a bout of heaven-defying opportunity. Regardless to world overlords or heavenly deities, this was an extremely rare chance for them.

Qin Wentian immersed himself in comprehending the energy from his chosen constellation and solidified his insights, integrating them with his prior understandings. He felt that he was getting closer and closer to the heavenly deity realm. Maybe this trip to the Heaven Vault would be the opportunity he needed to break through.

Cultivation wasn’t a thing where one could succeed in it overnight. When the experts in the Heaven Vault were all cultivating, the other experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all arrived one after another. They were all peak characters, extremely powerful world overlords and heavenly deities. Although the third trial which is the path of godsfall has already been ‘opened up’ by the mysterious young man in white, the first two trials were still in place. Ordinary characters wouldn’t be able to pass them.

Those experts from the peak powers naturally arrived here quickly. This was especially so for the powers in Heaven Region. The Qin Clan, Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystic Palace, etc… All of them were the first to arrive after the first batch of experts and each peak power also sent out a huge group of people, including several heavenly deities. After all, since Heaven Vault could allow them to reach the nine heavenly layers personally, it was naturally an attraction for heavenly deities.

Qin Zheng led the experts of the Qin Clan here, even his wife came. His wife was extremely beautiful and was also a heavenly deity. Back then, she was one of those with the highest talent among the younger generations of the Qin Clan. During his youth, even Qin Yuanfeng had also once fallen in love with her. Just by simply standing there, no one would dare to stare at her directly for fear of profaning her beauty.

“Dang`er.” The woman stared at Qin Dangtian, her beautiful eyes contained a hint of gentleness as she stared at her son. Qin Dangtian had always been her pride.

“Mother, you also came?” Qin Dangtian’s figure flashed as he sped over.

“Mhm, I’ve always wanted to see for myself what sort of place the nine heavenly layers are. Now that there’s such an opportunity, I naturally wanted to come. There are many elders who came here as well.” The woman smiled.

“Oh, did grandfather come as well?” Qin Dangtian asked.

“Your grandfather is still in closed-door seclusion, we didn’t disturb him. Since the Heaven Vault is already opened, there would still be opportunities for him to come in the future.” Qin Zheng spoke as Qin Dangtian nodded.

Qin Zheng then stepped forward. He stared at the resplendent constellations above from the nine heavenly layers as he sighed in his heart. Back then, both Qin Yuanfeng and his father also came here. Did they ever reach this place?

They should have succeeded. Also, back then the supreme treasure Qin Tiangang obtained should have originated from here. But they had no idea how that supreme treasure ended up in Qin Yuanfeng’s hand.

This matter has always been a secret of the Qin Clan. Only a very few peak powers on the same level as the Qin Clan knew of some of these matters.

Behind him, more and more experts came. Qin Zheng glanced back for a look, the woman in the lead for this group was extremely outstanding, her beauty was not inferior to Qin Zheng’s wife at all and was even slightly more outstanding. She didn’t seem to be a woman from this mortal world.

“The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden has also came here.” Qin Zheng spoke. This woman was none other than the palace mistress of the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace. She had the title of the number one celestial of the nine heavens of the older generation.

Her aura was transcendent. She stared at Qin Zheng and softly spoke, “Didn’t Clan Leader Qin come as well?”

“With regards to the marvelous scene before us, does mystical maiden have any thoughts about it?” Qin Zheng asked.

“This is good fortune for our Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” The mystical maiden laughed. Qin Zheng nodded his head. This was indeed great fortune for everyone in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Most probably, many people would grow even stronger after this.

“The two of you came so early.” Another voice drifted over. At this moment, a middle-aged man clad in violet-gold robes with a crown on his head appeared here. He floated into the air, like he was the master of the universe. This person was none other than the sect leader of the Qiankun Sect. It was said that he could control the forces of Qiankun (universe).

“You are not too slow either.” Qin Zheng calmly spoke.

The Qiankun Sect Leader laughed. He then turned to the mystical maiden, “It has been a very long time since I last saw the mystical maiden but even so, your beauty is as stunning as ever, transcending the mortal world. It’s truly a pity that you have no intentions to marry.”

The mystical maiden glanced at him, she wasn’t angered. All of them were acquainted with each other since a long time ago and had even fought against each other on multiple occasions in the Heaven Region for many years.

“Oh by the way, that useless disciple of mine Lin Xiao is keen to pursue the mystical maiden of the new generation. In any case, since you won’t be passing your position over to her any time soon and will still rule over your palace for a long time, why don’t you let her marry my disciple?” The Qiankun Sect Leader straightforwardly spoke. After the mystical maiden heard his words, she coldly glanced at him. This old fellow was much more detestable compared to Lin Xiao.

“Let’s go.” The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden couldn’t be bothered to argue verbally with the Qiankun Sect Leader. No matter what, as a female, she would surely suffer a disadvantage and hence, she might as well just ignore him. A group of fairy maidens then flew through the air, causing countless experts here to turn and look at them. This scene was simply too beautiful. Many people sighed in admiration, were these the maidens of the Nine Heavens Mystic Palace? The beauty of their palace mistress was truly transcendent. This was especially so when the radiance from the constellations cascaded down on her. Nothing else in this world could surpass her beauty.

“Dang`er, where is Nichang?” Qin Zheng’s wife asked. She wanted to see her future daughter-in-law as she has never met her before. Nichang was the number one beauty of the Heaven Region, her beauty most probably wouldn’t be inferior to hers, right?

“Nichang is currently cultivating,” Qin Dangtian replied.

“I wish to meet her.” Qin Zheng’s wife smiled. Qin Dangtian paused for a moment before he nodded. He then took out his messaging crystal and sent a voice transmission, “Nichang, my parents are here. My mother wishes to meet with you.”

Goddess Nichang was currently cultivating on a constellation. After she received Qin Dangtian’s message, she hesitated a little and didn’t really feel like going. But eventually, she still agreed. After some time, she descended from the air and arrived on the ancient pathway below the nine heavenly layers. When she saw Qin Dangtian’s parents, she nodded politely towards them.

“Mother, Nichang’s personality has always been like this, please don’t take offense.” Qin Dangtian spoke.

“Truly a beautiful woman, her beauty even surpassed mine when I was young and she is truly a good match for my son Dangtian.” Qin Zheng’s wife laughed, not bothered at all by Nichang’s aloof attitude. For beauties, it was only natural that they had their own personalities. She wouldn’t take offense at such a thing.

“Nichang, after I return, I will discuss with Dang`er and his father about choosing a good date. After you join our Qin Clan, we will definitely not mistreat you. In the future, you will be the mother of the Qin Clan.” Qin Zheng’s wife smiled. Nichang’s expression was as calm as ever, not changing in the slightest. Her state of heart was like water.

“You shouldn’t be involved so much with the matters of young people. Our future daughter-in-law Nichang might feel embarrassed.” Qin Zheng laughed. “Nichang, you and Dang`er feel free to go and do your own things.”

“Okay. Father, mother, we will go and cultivate then.” Qin Dangtian nodded. After that, he left with Nichang, soaring towards the constellations in the sky. After they left, the smile on Qin Zheng’s wife’s face vanished. “I heard some rumors about the happenings in the legendary place in the sacred academy. Do you know of this?”

Qin Zheng’s eyes flashed, he naturally heard the rumors before as well. If not, he wouldn’t make the three world overlords to kneel in apology when he went to pay Deity Qu a visit back then. The reason for this was to not allow Nichang to suffer any damage to her reputation. How could his future daughter-in-law’s reputation not be pristine?

“I’ve already handled the matter. There’s no need to be too bothered about such minor things. In the past, didn’t Qin Yuanfeng also fall in love with you? Given how outstanding Nichang is, it’s very normal that Qin Yuanfeng’s son would feel attracted to her.” Qin Zheng calmly spoke.

“You should know about the relationship between Qu Shen and Qin Tiangang. Qin Yuanfeng had also paid Qu Shen many visits before and Qu Shen’s attitude towards them is much more amiable compared to how he acts towards us. Also, Nichang had some interactions with Qin Yuanfeng’s son in the legendary place. This is naturally just a minor matter and I don’t feel anything strange about it. It’s just that even up until now, Qin Yuanfeng’s son has yet to be captured. What are our subordinates doing?” Qin Zheng’s wife coldly spoke, her voice ringing out with a hint of might. As the mother of the Qin Clan and Qin Zheng’s wife, she naturally wouldn’t be an ordinary character.

A flicker of coldness flashed in Qin Zheng’s eyes. Indeed, Qin Zhong of his Qin Clan had died but even now, they still have yet to find where Qin Wentian is.

“Let me share some of my thoughts with you. The Heaven Vault has opened, experts from all around would naturally rush here. Do you think that Qin Yuanfeng’s son would miss out on this opportunity?” Qin Zheng’s wife asked. Qin Zheng’s eyes flashed, as he asked, “Would he dare to come here?”

“Why wouldn’t he dare? Back then, is there anything Qin Yuanfeng don’t dare to do? He even dared to kill his way into our Qin Clan.” The eyes of Qin Zheng’s wife turned to the crowd in the sky. Maybe, Qin Wentian was already here, currently hiding within the crowd.

Qin Zheng’s expression turned grim. Qin Wentian was able to survive despite a heavenly deity, Qin Zhong, having gone to pursue him, it was nothing strange that Qin Wentian would have some supreme concealment techniques at his disposal. This was truly thought-provoking.
