Chapter 908: Giant Palm
Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Di Tian conversed with the old man. Qin Wentian naturally knew of their conversation. Di Tian was a true self of his, born from the Great Nirvana Immortal Art. They naturally couldmunicate telepathically with each other as they were originally one body. However, they wouldn’t interfere with each others path of cultivation.
Qin Wentian was still trapped in the cavern. He started to research the runic diagrams there, starting from the ones at the entrance, slowly imprinting them into his mind.
This underground pce didn’t seem to have any direct danger, but it’s existence was probably the most dangerous of all, able to trap anyone here for all eternity, until their lifespans expired.
In addition, there were no clues on how to find the exit, only the corpses of several people from the previous generations, causing people to feel their entire body turning cold at the hopelessness of the situation.
If one were to mention the word ‘clues,’ then the only thing that could possibly be of help would surely be the runic diagrams engraved all over this underground pce. Qin Wentian could only try to unravel the mystery from this angle. He had no other choice, it was either to do this or to wait for death.
Qin Wentian went to the starting point and studied the runic diagrams at the beginning step-by-step. At the same time in that faraway particle world, Di Tian was now inscribing all the runic diagrams Qin Wentian saw, using techniques to make it three-dimensional to help him research better.
His original body and Di Tian were both concurrently analysing, hoping to find some clues to unravel the underground pce’s secret.
Time flowed by, Qin Wentian slowly walked about the underground pce. In front of him, Xiao Lengyue was sitting down quietly on a stone rampart. Her body contours exuded a sense of gentleness and beauty. Both her hands were hugging her chest, extremely sexy to behold but Qin Wentian had no other intentions and was merely silently observing her charm.
After some time, Xiao Lengyue finally could bear it no longer and asked, "What are you doing?"
Qin Wentian inclined his head and replied, "We can’t simply wait for death here, I’m trying to see if there are any clues contained inside the runic diagrams."
A rare smile appeared on Xiao Lengyue’s face. "I’m not proficient in divine inscriptions and have no way to understand the diagrams. But I truly hope that you will seed."
"I will do my best." Qin Wentian nodded as he continued his observation. In front of him, the passageway split into five different pathways and at this moment, a shocking boom shook the air as an expert roared, "What the hell is this stone rampart? I can’t even damage it the slightest."
"Don’t waste your energy. This ce could even trap immortal kings, if you can force your way out so easily, wouldn’t those immortal kings who died be a joke?" Another person replied.
"But we can’t simply wait for death here, right?" The booming sounds continued, but it was all useless. The toughness of this cavern far surpassed one’s imagination. Let alone sting a way out, it was even impossible to leave a mark on the stone walls. The effort of that expert only caused the loud booming sounds caused by the impact of his attacks to echo throughout the cavern.
As time flowed, this kind of violent behavior stacked endlessly. Qin Wentian walked to the fork and stared at the five separate pathways. There were people at all five of the pathways and everyone was coldly staring at him.
An expert slowly walked over, his aura gushing forth, filled with an intense vengeance.
As he arrived at the side of Qin Wentian, he icily stated, "Don’t you feel you should pay the price for your actions?"
Several people nced over, staring at Qin Wentian as though they were watching a drama.
Qin Wentian lifted his head, staring at the expert before him as a cold smile appeared on his face, "What price?"
"You brought all of us here to this forbidden ground, causing everyone to be trapped. Tell me, what price do you think you should pay?" The expression on that expert’s face turned malevolent as all the baleful aura he kept suppressed burst out.
"Am I acquainted with you?" Qin Wentian stared at him. "Have I ever even talked to you? Or did I force you toe in with me? Are you a despicable shithead?"
Even a man made of mud would have three points of fire in him. Being provoked again and again, how could Qin Wentian not feel any anger in his heart? Everyone followed him into this ce out of their own will. But now, everyone was pointing the spearhead of me at him? What a joke, what a wonderful joke.
"BOOM!" An aura of destruction gushed forth. That expert before him sted out a terrifying fist of darkness, containing a corroding me within. Justing into contact with it in the slightest would cause the target to pay a grievous price. If one was hit directly by this punch, the person would die by rotting away, by the power of the me of corrosion.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian stomped on the ground as astral light enveloped him protectively. A fearsome gigantic battle spear materialized, stabbing out frenziedly, shing against that punch of his opponent.
That expert roared in rage and unleashed his constetion, causing the space here to sink into total darkness as ck mes of destruction danced about.
Qin Wentian took a step forward. The entire ground beneath him shone as a runic diagrams lit up, manifesting a terrifying prison below his opponent’s feet, wanting to trap him within. This prison was full of boundless golden light, and was seemingly indestructible.
"KILL!" Qin Wentian waved his hand. Terrifying long battle spears from all directions shot through space, aiming for his opponent. That expert turned ashen. Right now, this underground pce transformed into a battlefield that was precisely designed for Qin Wentian. He could borrow the strength of divine inscriptions in the runic diagram forbat.
The constetion of that expert shone brilliantly as boundlessly dark mes of corrosion shot out in all directions. However, Qin Wentian’s attacks seemed endless. With every wave of his hand, even more spears flew out, as though he wouldn’t stop until everything is ughtered.
"Puchi..." A sound rang out, a long spear prated the shoulder of Qin Wentian’s opponent. Fresh blood instantly dyed his body red. His countenance was as pale as paper, yet the battle spears continued erupting outwards. Those spectating the battle all started to frown, Qin Wentian was able to borrow the power of the runic diagrams at his will inbat. In here, he was in his element, like a fish in water. There waspletely no need for him to expend any of his energy to attack so ferociously.
The chaotic qi flow stopped. With a wave of his hand, the prison vanished. He coldly stared at his opponent, "Scram, if you act like a despicable shithead again, die."
That person’s expression turned ashen. His arm clutched onto the shoulder that was prated by a spear. He coldly red at Qin Wentian before turning and walking away.
Qin Wentian nced at the experts gathered before continuing what he was doing earlier, starting from the left-most pathway and returning back to his analysis of the runic diagrams here in the underground pce.
Xuan Xing and the other geniuses present who were proficient in divine inscriptions were all doing the same thing as Qin Wentian, starting to research the runic diagrams of the underground pce. It was just like what Qin Wentian had thought, these runic diagrams were the only clue in this cavern, in order to solve the mystery, they had to try from this angle or they would only be waiting for death.
In the blink of an eye, three months passed. The emotions of those in the outside world had almost reached the peak of anxiety. The son of the Xuan Emperor and daughter of the Xiao Emperor had been missing for three months. In addition, there were also several rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings who had gone missing with them as well.
In these three months, Qin Wentian had studied all the runic diagrams within the underground pce, Di Tian inscribed all of them down in that faraway particle world he was in, studying and analysing them from a three-dimensional form. Right now, as he stared at the runic diagrams, he only felt an extreme shock in his heart.
Before him was aplete picture formed from all the runic diagrams in the underground pce. A unique shape could be seen. His original body who was trapped within there, wouldn’t be able to see this clearly but after he re-arranged the divine inscription runic diagrams into a three-dimensional form, everything became much clearer.
Thebined runic diagrams in the underground pce actually formed the shape of a giant palm. The five pathways which contained countless divine inscriptions took the form of five fingers and therge area before the passageway splits into five smaller pathways, took the form of a palm. As for the ancient passageway leading to therge area, it was in the form of an arm.
Right now, when Qin Wentian looked at this, a hint of understanding surfaced in his heart. He thought back to the picture scroll he acquired, so it turned out that the hint was already given the instant they entered the underground pce. What he obtained was truly a map, a map of the underground pce, which the bird’s eye view of it resembled a palm.
Emperor Yi’s heaven-shaking art was precisely named the God’s Hand. What mysteries were hidden within exactly?
At this moment, a figure appeared before Di Tian. It was none other than the old man and as he saw the three-dimensional model, he spoke, "Why did you suddenly ask about Emperor Yi? This palm is abstruse and incredibly profound. Did your original body obtain the inheritance of Emperor Yi?"
"Not for now." Di Tian shook his head, "My original body is in a ruin left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi and after I studied and analysed all the runic diagrams in that ce, it actually took the form of a palm after I replicated all the runic diagrams out here."
"Oh?" The old man had an expression of interest on his face as he smiled, "Seems like the luck of your original body isn’t bad. However, the inheritance of Emperor Yi isn’t going to be so easy toprehend."
"I naturally understand this point." Di Tian nodded. Theplete picture seemed to be separated into parts. Every part could be attack-type divine inscriptions and also had the ability to assemble themselves at will. Right now, all the divine inscriptions in the runic diagram were converged together, bing something extremelyplex, impossible toprehend.
"In that case, take your time toprehend it." That old man spoke in a faint tone before turning about and vanishing from sight. Emperor Yi’s secret art, God’s Hand, wasn’t any attack technique but was a type of super strong auxiliary support technique. If Di Tian had the fortune and seeds inprehending this, he naturally wouldn’t have anyints.
But of course, that old man could clearly tell that this palm imprint isn’t the full andplete inheritance of Emperor Yi’s secret art God’s Hand. It might only be an entry-level inheritance.
Within the underground pce, Qin Wentian sat cross-legged, fully concentrating on the scene before Di Tian. He could naturally see through Di Tian’s eyes as could Di Tian see through his. The two of them were concurrently trying toprehend and unravel the mysteries behind this palm.
Not far away from Qin Wentian, Xiao Lengyue was still quietly sitting on the stone rampart, studying Qin Wentian’s actions. Qin Wentian sat down to cultivate after walking throughout the five pathways. Could it be that he made some discoveries?
Although Xiao Lengyue’s strength was high, she was not proficient in divine inscriptions. Hence, she could only depend on these divine inscriptionists here, hoping that they would find clues to unravel the mystery. If they truly seeded, they might have a chance to head to the true emperor pce and she believed that the emperor pce they saw before in the outside world would surely exist. Also, since this underground pce existed, this must be a passageway to the true pce.
Qin Wentian’s words might be correct from a certain perspective. This ce was a test left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi. However, this test was extremely difficult, so difficult to the extent whereby even immortal kings lost their lives here.
Naturally, all these were just Xiao Lengyue’s conjectures. As to what the real ending was like, unless the mystery of this underground pce could be unravelled, no one would know the truth!
