Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian and his companions had taken over the Xiao Sect’s headquarters and acquired all their opponents’ interspatial rings, tyrannically sweeping over the dozens of geniuses who stood in their way.
After the battle, Qin Wentian headed to the courtyard that had previously belonged to him. Sitting down cross-legged, he drew in astral energy and condensed it into divine energy. Defeating Greedwolf and his cronies had been an insignificant matter. After the new Twin Stars Alliance was formed, not only did they have the #4 and #6 rankers of the Immortal Ascension Rankings, there were many other rankers who had joined their sect as well. They were all extremely powerful, so at the very least it was currently impossible for them to stand against the Twin Stars Alliance with the strength of only five.
Jun Mengchen was injured, but the damage wasn’t heavy. While Qin Wentian was cultivating, he went to change the words engraved at the perimeter of the property, amending it from ‘Xiao’ to ‘Qin’, and announcing it as the headquarters of the Qin Sect. This left the spectators outside speechless. After establishing a power, the five even wanted to set up their headquarters here?
How could the Twin Stars Alliance possibly let them off? It probably wouldn’t be long before the Twin Stars Alliance slaughtered their way over here.
Hence, the spectators didn’t leave. In fact, there were even more people gathering here. They knew that a gigantic clash between the Qin Sect and the Twin Stars Alliance was inevitable.
Back then, many of the spectators hadn’t been lucky enough to witness the battle between Qin Wentian and Xuan Xing. They didn’t get to see how powerful the God’s Hand was. And with Qin Wentian’s reappearance, this meant that the God’s Hand had resurfaced. How could they miss the chance to see it personally? Wouldn’t it be a pity otherwise?
Today, it was incredibly lively outside the Qin Sect. Many geniuses flooded the area outside, and even those ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings were present.
"Is she…?" At this moment, the gazes of the crowd were focused on a female silhouette exuding pride and coldness. This young woman quietly stood there, but it felt as though the entire world revolved around her, easily snatching away the attention of all who were present.
"It’s Nanfeng Yunxi. How interesting, this coming battle will already involve those ranked at #4, #5 and #6, Now, even the #3-ranked Nanfeng Yunxi has appeared. If Xiao Lengyue were to appear, that would mean all three supreme beauties in the City of Ancient Emperors have gathered here," someone mused in a low voice.
After that day when Qin Wentian, Xuan Xing, Xiao Lengyue exited the Ancient Emperor Yi’s palace, Nanfeng Yunxi had also paid a visit there to observe the blood runes. However, they were beyond her ability to comprehend, and eventually the words of the chant dissipated from her memory. Afterwards, she’d heard someone say that there was this newbie who’d comprehended and managed to cultivate the true God’s Hand. She couldn’t help but feel curiosity seizing her heart. A secret art which she had no way to comprehend, it had actually been mastered by a seventh-level ascendant?
Hence, with Qin Wentian’s reappearance, she had come by to take a look. She wanted to see how strong the lost secret art of the Ancient Emperor really was.
"With the appearance of the God’s Hand, a storm has risen in the City of Ancient Emperors, leading to the battle of the three powerful rankers in the top ten. The main character of this saga was none other than Qin Wentian. And now, with the current news circulating around the City of Ancient Emperors, I’m sure that yet another wild and violent storm is about to ensue." Among the crowd, an expert spoke in a low voice, his words causing many people in the surroundings to turn to him and ask, "What news are you talking about?"
"You guys have never heard of it?" the expert asked, staring at those surrounding him.
"Could this news even trump the resurfacing of the God’s Hand?" someone asked, his eyes glowing like embers.
"There are already quite a few who know of this, and it’s still circulating around. I believe that soon, everyone in the City of Ancient Emperors will know of this as well. Then, let me tell you all: there’s news that the forbidden ground, the Underworld Mountains, actually contains an inheritance left behind by an ancient emperor!" the expert spoke excitedly.
When they heard his words, the crowd was actually disappointed. One among the crowd shook his head and replied, "People have speculated about that for quite a while now, is there anything surprising about it?"
"What do you know? This time…it’s different," the expert rebutted, snorting coldly. "Do you all know which ancient emperor’s inheritance it is?"
"Who?" The expressions on everyone’s faces froze when they heard that, many of them turning their attention back to this expert.
"The Brahma Heavenly Emperor!" That person stated. And as the sound of his voice faded, everyone stiffened; only the sound of their heartbeats could be heard.
"Is this really true?" After some time, someone in the crowd asked, with a slight tremor in his voice.
Brahma Heavenly Emperor. It was actually the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?
Naturally, all of them had heard of the name Brahma Heavenly Emperor. There were some who termed him as an immortal emperor—there were also some who said he was a devil emperor, and also…a demon emperor.
There were simply too many legends about the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, with the most widespread rumor saying that his original body was that of a demonic beast. But there had never been any conclusive evidence to prove that he was a demon emperor. The origins of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor had always been shrouded in mist.
Although the Brahma Heavenly Emperor had never unified the immortal realms, his might wasn’t any weaker compared to those who had. At his peak, he had killed off several supremely powerful immortal emperors in quick succession, absorbing their power as his own. In fact, he was much more adept at using the powers he absorbed, more so than their original users.
He was so powerful that the majority of immortal emperors in the immortal realms had feared him, ultimately deciding to hunt him down. Eventually, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor had been cornered by a total of eight peak-tier immortal emperors at Unaging Peak, and a grand battle had taken place, one that shook the heavens and earth.
During that battle, all eight peak-tier Immortal Emperors died. None of them survived.
As for the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, he had disappeared completely, and had never been seen in the immortal realms since that fateful day. Nobody knew where he’d gone, and it was still a mystery to this day. This powerful ancient emperor—whose name once shook the entire immortal realms—had simply disappeared, along with his heaven-shaking secret art, the Great Brahma Art.
Nobody knew what the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s secret art entailed. They only knew that the Emperor had depended on the art to kill several peak-tier immortal emperors—he’d absorbed the power of his opponents’ secret arts, and then turned their power against themselves, even stronger than before. By right, all the secret arts had different types of energy attributes. Yet, this Brahma Heavenly Emperor was able to unleash the power from any secret art he absorbed to an even more terrifying extent. The mysterious secret art he used was surely something unique; it must be something that no one had ever used before.
With his disappearance, the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s heaven-shaking secret art—the Great Brahma Art—disappeared as well, lost in the rivers of time.
Right now in the City of Ancient Emperors, someone was claiming that the Underworld Mountains were the resting place for the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. How could this piece of news not cause the hearts of all the geniuses to tremble?
The forbidden ground, the Underworld Mountains, actually contained the legacy of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor? In that case, even if that place was off-limits, the inheritance would be worth risking their lives.
"Of course it’s true, this information is already well-known. And I have no need to hide anything at all. Otherwise, why would I still tell you guys? I would simply go alone," said the expert, but as his voice trailed off, a flawlessly beautiful silhouette appeared in front of him. The expert couldn’t help but feel stunned as he stared dumbfoundedly at the beautiful face before him.
"Nanfeng Yunxi…" mumbled the expert. The lady before him was truly Nanfeng Yunxi herself.
"Where did you get this information? Do the Underworld Mountains truly hold the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked. Evidently, there was no one who wouldn’t be moved by the prospect of gaining an inheritance from an ancient emperor.
From ancient times till now, the immortal realms have experienced the passing of countless eras. In this incomparably long river of time, those who could leave their names behind consisted of merely a few ancient emperors. Just the mention of any of them would shake anyone’s heart, let alone the powerful and mysterious Brahma Heavenly Emperor.
"I have no idea where this originated from. But in any case, it has already been circulated around the City of Ancient Emperors. I feel that someone intentionally leaked the news out and as for how true it is, I can’t be certain. The Underworld Mountains are a forbidden ground and I’ve never set foot inside it. Without seeing the ancient ruins themselves, who would dare confirm whether the legacy is really there or not?" the person replied, his words causing Nanfeng Yunxi’s beautiful eyes to flicker.
It would seem that she still needed to determine the truth of this rumor.
Her silhouette flickered, and Nanfeng Yunxi then returned to her original location, leaving the expert she questioned with a faint twinge of disappointment. Widening his nostrils, he did his best to inhale her lingering fragrance, feeling a strong reluctance in his heart. To be so close to a supreme beauty like Nanfeng Yunxi, it was truly a matter that gladdened the heart.
The news about the Brahma Heavenly Emperor swiftly spread through the crowd. In fact, there were even some geniuses who immediately formed an alliance, intent on exploring the Underworld Mountains. Since the news was being spread they felt that they mustn't miss this opportunity.
After a period of time, a powerful aura gushed forth from afar. Several in the crowd turned their gazes over only to see a large group of experts advancing in this direction.
There were over a hundred experts, an incredibly grand-looking group. Two people led the way, both exuding an innate aura of magnificence. They were none other than the two current leaders of the new Twin Stars Alliance, Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue.
Glancing over, they instantly noticed that outside the perimeter of the Xiao Sect’s ex-headquarters, the name ‘Xiao’ had already been replaced with the name ‘Qin’. In addition, many geniuses of their sect were still lying helplessly on the ground; some were unconscious, while others were so badly injured that they couldn’t even move. When Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue saw this, their complexions turned ashen. A moment later, they gave out the command, "Carry them home to recuperate."
Behind them, even the geniuses flew downwards and carried away Greedwolf and the others. The Qin Sect had injured the members of their Twin Star Alliance, leaving them all to lie in a heap outside. It was simply humiliating.
"GET THE FUCK OUT!" Xuan Yang roared, his voice thundering through the heavens, and he flew with rapid speed towards the Qin Sect. Everyone could feel the palpable waves of anger rolling off him.
"Qin Wentian." The beautiful Xiao Lengyue was extremely icy, filled with killing intent. Previously, she’d narrowly escaped from death when she fought Qing`er. It was her father’s immortal sense who brought her away. This itself, was the greatest humiliation of all, causing her to lose face as well her prestige in the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, Qin Wentian only had five people on his team, yet he dared to destroy her Xiao Sect, injuring her sect members, and tossing them out like garbage.
Currently, inside the former headquarters of the Xiao Sect, a figure floated in the air. This was naturally none other than Qin Wentian. Qing`er stood beside him; she was dazzling beyond compare, as pure and beautiful as a snow lotus.
Many in the crowd assessed Qing`er, before turning to look at Xiao Lengyue and Nanfeng Yunxi. All three supreme beauties in the City of Ancient Emperors were now gathered here. Truly, they were a treat for the eyes, with each one possessing a different kind of beauty.
Nanfeng Yunxi was also surveying Qin Wentian and Qing`er. This Qin Wentian seemed somewhat familiar to her; she had met him once, before he headed to the underground palace. However, she paid no attention to him back then. Who would have thought that he’d eventually be the one to comprehend the God’s Hand? At that time, he’d been nothing more than a member of Xiao Lengyue’s sect. But to think that he would cause a commotion of tsunami-level proportions in such a short period of time!
