Chapter 1451: Holy Sage’s Will
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian glanced at the dead Fa Nu as his eyes flashed. Seems like the experts from the Vajra Sect were more powerful compared to ordinary experts from the Sacred Sun Sect. This must mean that the inheritances granted by the Eastern Tomb are most definitely extraordinary.
Naturally, Fa Nu was a Saint Child of the Vajra Sect. If an ordinary member of the Vajra Sect were to be used in comparison, they would still be slightly inferior to the ordinary members from the peak powers.
Qin Wentian’s expression was still the same, but Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu were both absolutely stunned. Fighting one on three against mid-stage immortal kings from peak powers and even killing Fa Nu after that. Qin Wentian’s combat prowess was extremely terrifying to behold.
“What’s wrong?” Turning about, Qin Wentian glanced at the two of them.
“Brother Qin, don’t you feel that you are a little too heaven-defying?” Feng Zhu sighed.
“Am I?” Qin Wentian smiled.
“However, Brother Qin you might be in for some trouble. Leaving aside the Vajra Sect, the Sacred Sun Sect is a peak power. By killing three of their mid-stage immortal kings, you would definitely incur their wrath and there might be even stronger characters sent out to deal with you.” Feng Zhu reminded. He then continued, “Brother Qin, you can use the mask and robe to conceal your identity if need be.”
“There’s no hurry, let’s settle this issue of the Eastern Tomb first. As for incurring their hatred and wrath, there’s no problem if we kill more of their people. In fact, I’ve even killed a saint child of the Sacred Sun Sect before. Since I’ve already made myself into a target, we might as well go for broke.” Qin Wentian casually replied, causing Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu to both be speechless.
He killed a saint child of the Sacred Sun Sect before?
Also, Qin Wentian spoke in such a relaxed manner, completely causing everyone else to be speechless. He simply didn’t have the Sacred Sun Sect in his eyes at all.
“Brother Qin is truly an extraordinary character. I’m really curious about what sort of enemies that are powerful enough to make Brother Qin want to conceal your identity.” Feng Zhu asked.
“There are many immortal emperors who want to kill me. There’s no choice, I’m still considered weak now and can only conceal my identity as I roam the immortal realms. You guys have to be more cautious as well. I’m afraid that they would investigate my deeds and learn about you two. Although the possibility isn’t high, it’s for the best that you two leave the Eastern Tomb Immortal City as soon as possible.” Qin Wentian spoke. The two of them nodded their heads, before this they could already sense that the characters who wished to kill Qin Wentian, would all definitely be extraordinary individuals but even so, they didn’t expect that there would be immortal emperors among those who wanted to kill him.
“Mhm, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect was forced to dissolve, I wonder if sect leader can handle the attacks if more emperors banded up together. This time around, he has offended the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall. There’s no way he can remain here in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City in the future.” Feng Qianxue spoke. “Let’s leave this place. I’ve entered the Eastern Tomb before, let me bring you all to the place of legacy where the real ‘tombs’ lies.”
“Right.” Qin Wentian nodded. The Eastern Tomb was left behind by the sages and would naturally be extraordinary. There’s actually a connection between the cultivation arts of the four remnant powers as well as his path of cultivation. If there’s a chance to, he wanted to use this opportunity to try and comprehend some insights.
Feng Qianxue entered the Eastern Tomb many years ago and had read the Holy Book before. She naturally was familiar with the way in here.
“Before this, the Eastern Tomb opened due to a series of fated events. This time, things are different, the Eastern Tomb was forcefully opened by the sect leader, and it’s very possible that there would no longer be any future inheritances given how fragile the tomb already is. The four remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple might no longer exist…” Feng Qianxue sighed.
Her body sped by, moving along a path. On their way there, they saw many other experts. These were all people from the immortal city who entered after the Blackmetal Sword Emperor made the announcement allowing everyone to enter. There naturally was no way for these people to miss out on such an opportunity. Hence, all of them came here in droves.
“RUMBLE~”
At this moment, the path shuddered as the interior of the Eastern Tomb shook violently. Black-colored cracks could be seen expanding from the void. A moment later, everyone on the path increased their speed. How could they not understand what was going on when they saw this?
“The Eastern Tomb is unstable, it might collapse soon. We have to make good use of our time.” Feng Qingxue spoke. Although she knew that forcefully breaking the eastern tomb open would lead to a loss of its structural stability, she didn’t expect that there would be signs of collapse so soon.
“Hold on to me.” Qin Wentian spoke, grabbing both Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu as he sped forth with a speed akin to lightning, with Feng Qianxue telling him where to go.
As time flowed by, the black cracks increased in numbers as the tremors grew more and more violent.
Finally, Qin Wentian’s group saw the true ‘Tombs’ before their eyes, as well as several experts gathering before it. Over there, several tombs could be seen and behind each tomb, a mysterious stone tablet would stand erect there, containing profound mysterious within them. The experts were all trying to comprehend the secrets.
“Seems like the three remnant powers must have led them here.” Feng Qianxue spoke. Experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall were all present. Other than them, many of the experts from the immortal city were here too.
“You are actually still alive?” At this moment, a cold voice rang out. An expert from the Sacred Sun Sect glanced in Qin Wentian’s direction, his eyes gleaming with sharpness. These three were still alive. Where were the three mid-stage immortal kings from the Sacred Sun Sect which they sent out?
“Where is Fa Nu?” An expert from the Vajra Sect also turned and stared in Qin Wentian’s group direction.
“They were people who wanted to kill us. Tell me, where do you think they are?” Qin Wentian calmly replied, causing the eyes of these experts to flash with killing intent. Qin Wentian’s aura gushed forth as he pulled out his demon sword, preparing to do battle.
“Stop!” The leader of the Sacred Sun Sect roared. He turned and coldly glanced at Qin Wentian before he looked at his comrades. “Do you all want to hasten the collapse of the Eastern Tomb? There’s not much time left, let’s come to an agreement that we will join forces and kill anyone who dares to start a battle in here.”
As the sound of his voice faded, those people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Vajra Sect retracted their auras. But even so, their eyes were incomparably cold as they stared at Qin Wentian’s group. “We will let you live a few moments longer then.”
Clearly, if it wasn’t for the Eastern Tomb being unstable, they would definitely already act. When this matter is over, they will kill Qin Wentian and the two others for sure.
“The Holy Book is before our eyes, instead of comprehending insights, you guys are really good at wasting time.” Qin Wentian mocked.
“The Heavenly Book is incomparably profound. These stone tablets are passages left behind from ancient times, infused with the holy will of the sages. Given how mysterious they are, how can ordinary people comprehend them? It’s a waste of time for ordinary people to come here.” Feng Qianxue added, causing the expressions of many people to turn heavy as they stared at her. Was she mocking them for not being able to comprehend the secrets here?
“No matter how much you guys comprehend, you all are fated to die in here. Hence, there’s no need to waste time trying to gain any insights.” One of the experts replied with unmasked killing intent. No matter what, Qin Wentian and his group had to die.
However, Qin Wentian acted like he didn’t hear the words. He walked towards the tombs and stared at one of the stone tablets.
“Legends have it that these stone tablets contained the holy will of the sages. The remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple would all have different levels of insights as they comprehend the Holy Book, some deep and some shallow but there has been no one who has ever understood the mysteries of the holy will before. Even for sect leader characters, they could only see through this a little.” Feng Qianxue transmitted her voice to Qin Wentian. Although she mocked those people from the Sacred Sun Sect earlier, she understood that in reality, it was an extremely difficult thing to comprehend any insights.
Other than the suppression from other peak powers, the reason why the remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb had never rise up and become a peak power was that there was almost no one who could truly comprehend the secrets recorded here.
Qin Wentian nodded silently, understanding the difficulty. He glanced at a stone tablet before his eyes. On the stone tablet, there was a small pagoda the size of a thumb. But when Qin Wentian sent his strand of consciousness into it, he only felt a splitting headache. Groaning in misery, he took a few steps back as a grand scene unfolded in his mind.
The small pagoda was still the same size but it radiated a heaven-suppressing mysterious might. When Qin Wentian felt that blast of energy, he coughed out blood as his strand of consciousness was pull back, jolted by the force. He finally understood why these people didn’t have the time to find trouble with him. So it turned out that these people didn’t even have the qualifications to feel that shocking heaven-suppressive might.
“Brother Qin!” Feng Zhu froze when he saw this. Even for such an outstanding talent like Qin Wentian, was he unable to endure it?
“Brother Qin, you felt the holy will?” Feng Qianxue had a look of surprise on her face instead as she turned to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian glanced at her, “Within the small pagoda, a profound might capable of suppressing the heavens exists. I have no way to defend against it.”
“Hu…” Feng Qianxue drew in a deep breath. “Brother Qin, you can sense a hint of the holy will, putting you on the same level as the sect leaders. It’s extremely rare for someone being able to sense the holy will the first time they come here. You should take a look at the other stone tablets.”
“Alright.” Qin Wentian nodded. He turned his gaze onto another stone tablet. This time, there was a small golden bell. When Qin Wentian glanced at it, he could feel a huge vibration within his mind, like the sound of thunder from the great dao. He roared and unleashed his strength to defend against that blast of power, causing several people to turn their gazes over as they coldly stared at Qin Wentian.
“He’s able to sense it!” Feng Qianxue’s beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. “Take a look at another stone tablet.”
Qin Wentian glanced at another tablet, there was only a single word engraved there. That word was an ancient character for the word ‘Vajra’ and Qin Wentian could see the path of the buddha from it. The impact shook his entire body, threatening to break it apart.
Qin Wentian didn’t stop, he glanced at the next tablet where a thin branch-like object could be seen there. After sending in his consciousness, that thin branch was like a supremely sharp sword. Just casually slashing out would cause the world to be torn asunder. Qin Wentian also unleashed his own sword intent, but that was truly inconsequential and tiny in comparison. He could only resist for a short moment before being forced out once again. His entire body was covered in cold sweat. In his mind’s eye, he was already slashed into two by that sword.
“What a powerful holy will.” Qin Wentian’s heart trembled. Feng Qianxue who was beside him, trembled more violently than him. Qin Wentian could actually so easily perceive the holy will from the stone tablets.
Perceiving was the first step, comprehension the second. If you cannot even perceive anything, why is there still a need to talk about comprehending?!
