Chapter 908: Giant Palm
Translator: 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 could communicate 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 palace 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 ntion the word ‘clues,’ then the only thing that could possibly be of help would surely be the runic diagrams engraved all over this underground palace. 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 sa ti in that faraway particle world, Di Tian was now inscribing all the runic diagrams Qin Wentian saw, using techniques to make it three-dinsional to help him research better.
His original body and Di Tian were both concurrently analysing, hoping to find so clues to unravel the underground palace’s secret.
Ti flowed by, Qin Wentian slowly walked about the underground palace. 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, extrely sexy to behold but Qin Wentian had no other intentions and was rely silently observing her charm.
After so ti, 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 succeed."
"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 mont, 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 place 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 blasting 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 ti 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 glanced 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 , 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 to co in with ? 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 place out of their own will. But now, everyone was pointing the spearhead of bla at him? What a joke, what a wonderful joke.
"BOOM!" An aura of destruction gushed forth. That expert before him blasted out a terrifying fist of darkness, containing a corroding fla within. Just coming 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 fla of corrosion.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian stomped on the ground as astral light enveloped him protectively. A fearso gigantic battle spear materialized, stabbing out frenziedly, clashing against that punch of his opponent.
That expert roared in rage and unleashed his constellation, causing the space here to sink into total darkness as black flas 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 palace transford into a battlefield that was precisely designed for Qin Wentian. He could borrow the strength of divine inscriptions in the runic diagram for combat.
The constellation of that expert shone brilliantly as boundlessly dark flas of corrosion shot out in all directions. However, Qin Wentian’s attacks seed endless. With every wave of his hand, even more spears flew out, as though he wouldn’t stop until everything is slaughtered.
"Puchi..." A sound rang out, a long spear penetrated 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 in combat. In here, he was in his elent, like a fish in water. There was completely 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 penetrated by a spear. He coldly glared at Qin Wentian before turning and walking away.
Qin Wentian glanced 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 palace.
Xuan Xing and the other geniuses present who were proficient in divine inscriptions were all doing the sa thing as Qin Wentian, starting to research the runic diagrams of the underground palace. 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 palace, Di Tian inscribed all of them down in that faraway particle world he was in, studying and analysing them from a three-dinsional form. Right now, as he stared at the runic diagrams, he only felt an extre shock in his heart.
Before him was a complete picture ford from all the runic diagrams in the underground palace. 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-dinsional form, everything beca much clearer.
The combined runic diagrams in the underground palace actually ford the shape of a giant palm. The five pathways which contained countless divine inscriptions took the form of five fingers and the large area before the passageway splits into five smaller pathways, took the form of a palm. As for the ancient passageway leading to the large 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 palace. What he obtained was truly a map, a map of the underground palace, which the bird’s eye view of it resembled a palm.
Emperor Yi’s heaven-shaking art was precisely nad the God’s Hand. What mysteries were hidden within exactly?
At this mont, a figure appeared before Di Tian. It was none other than the old man and as he saw the three-dinsional 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 place, 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 to comprehend."
"I naturally understand this point." Di Tian nodded. The complete picture seed 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, becoming sothing extrely complex, impossible to comprehend.
"In that case, take your ti to comprehend 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 succeeds in comprehending this, he naturally wouldn’t have any complaints.
But of course, that old man could clearly tell that this palm imprint isn’t the full and complete inheritance of Emperor Yi’s secret art God’s Hand. It might only be an entry-level inheritance.
Within the underground palace, 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 to comprehend 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 so 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 succeeded, they might have a chance to head to the true emperor palace and she believed that the emperor palace they saw before in the outside world would surely exist. Also, since this underground palace existed, this must be a passageway to the true palace.
Qin Wentian’s words might be correct from a certain perspective. This place was a test left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi. However, this test was extrely 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 palace could be unravelled, no one would know the truth!
