Qin Wentian stood on the lead seat. He was the first person to do so. Not only that, he was the first to sit on this seat twelve years ago.
"Overestimating your capabilities." An expert from the Tianpeng people beside Jia Nantian mocked. Twelve years ago, no one could sit on this seat. Even their king Jia Nantian couldn't sit on it. Could it be that this young man could be compared to Jia Nantian or the devil lion from twelve years ago?
"Let alone humans, even demons, I've never seen someone so arrogant before." An expert from the White Tiger people coldly spoke. "With such arrogance, how much humiliation would it be when he is forced down from the seat later?"
"Even if he is forced down, he is still a heaven chosen who killed your White Tiger people, jumping two levels to fight against your White Tiger people without losing. As for you guys, you don't even dare to retort after being insulted by others. In fact, you guys don't even have the courage to fight for the lead seat. I really wonder where you guys got the courage to humiliate him. The White Tiger people might have strong defenses, but the thickest part of them should be their faces." A holy maiden from the Namhwang Clan coldly spoke. Both sides were still arguing with each other, exuding a cold intent.
However, the gazes of everyone were all on the lead seat. The astral light from the seat enveloped Qin Wentian as a painting appeared in the air. Within the painting, Qin Wentian stood on a vast land, resisting against the might of the heavenly dao. He was as tiny and insignificant as an ant. They involuntarily thought back to the scene twelve years ago when Jia Nantian fought against the might of the heavenly dao. The great roc flapped its wings, wanting to slash apart the heavenly dao. Sadly, after a terrifying battle, it still failed in the end.
Today, the tiny and insignificant Qin Wentian really wanted to accomplish what Jia Nantian failed to do back then?
Right now, Qin Wentian's state of mind was no longer focused on his true body. A strand of his will descended upon the space within the painting, causing the might of the heavenly dao to crush down. Who under the heavens would be able to resist?
However, right now, Qin Wentian's strength was also incomparably tyrannical. As long as he willed it, he could transform his body into law energy.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian soared up into the air, his entire body flowing with divine light, illuminating the world. He transformed into law energy and with a lift of his hand, he could destroy the heavens and earth. The hand of a divinity was like the vault of the heavens, wanting to shake the heavenly daos. But under the power of his law energy, all lives could only grovel in submission.
Resplendent light flashed in the sky. Qin Wentian actually transformed into an incomparably gigantic golden-winged great roc. His wings slashed towards the heavenly dao, his wings seemed to be able to slash apart the heavens. When his claws slashed out, countless golden-winged great rocs slashed out, clashing against the law energy of the heavenly dao. In this entire space, only the arrogance of the great rocs could be heard.
The eyes of that expert from the Sky Roc Race flashed with sharpness. Although Qin Wentian had the power to shatter the heavens, he still had no way to break apart the heavenly daos. Qin Wentian's treasured arts were all extremely powerful and could even shake the heavenly daos. Yet, he still had no way to break apart the heavenly daos.
Only by truly experiencing it would one know how strong it was.
Qin Wentian stood on the ground. He transformed into a million-zhang giant, towering between heaven and earth. Just by standing there, he was the law energy. The boundless power of heaven and earth was at his disposal. Within his body, a peerless demonic light shone, enveloping his body. Under the power of the heavenly dao, no law energy could escape the fate of being destroyed. If one wanted to break through the heavens, the only way was to break through bolder and stronger than the heavenly dao.
Qin Wentian's entire body glowed with a dark golden light as he transformed into a god of destruction. Demonic light enveloped him as the destructive might he exuded rose to the extreme, causing the entire sky to darken. The silhouettes of numerous greater demons appeared in this world, radiating boundless light as they exuded destruction.
In the painting, the destructive energy of heaven and earth towered up into the sky, blasting towards the heavenly might. In an instant, the scene of the end of the world appeared. The heavens and earth split apart as darkness appeared. The heavenly might was broken apart, and after that, an incomparably resplendent starry sky appeared above the heavenly might. Qin Wentian's body was bathed in astral light.
The painting vanished, and the astral light from the lead seat returned to a state of calmness. Qin Wentian quietly sat there. Before the 3,000 immortal seats, the experts were all silent. It was unknown if it was because of the battle in the painting, or because Qin Wentian was able to sit so stably on the lead seat.
Twelve years ago, there was no one in the lead seat. There was no way for greater demons to sit on it.
Twelve years later, the human Wu Xiu, Qin Wentian, with his cultivation base at the fourth-level of immortal-foundation, sat on the lead seat and listened to the lecture of the Sacred Academy.
"Because of your pride. I only want to tell you that when I want this seat, it has nothing to do with you guys anymore." Many people recalled the voice of Qin Wentian earlier. Staring at his back, they silently mused that Qin Wentian was truly an arrogant person. Naturally, he did have the qualifications to be arrogant.
The experts of the White Tiger people turned ashen. That young man who feasted on the white tiger meat once again used his actions to humiliate them. The despicable human in their mouths had once again slapped the faces of the White Tiger people.
The experts beside Jia Nantian also had dark expressions on their faces as they stared at this scene with disbelief. To think that Qin Wentian actually sat on the lead seat.
As for those experts from the Tenlan Heaven Kingdom who wanted to sow discord earlier, they all felt extremely angry in their hearts. They initially wanted to see Qin Wentian make a fool of himself, causing more people to target him. But who would have thought that Qin Wentian would retaliate in such a domineering manner? This caused their thoughts to seem extremely dirty.
Over two thousand experts all had different expressions on their faces. Jia Nantian stepped out. His improvement during these twelve years wasn't small and he initially wanted to try and become the lead seat again. However, he didn't expect that he would encounter such a ridiculous situation. His tribesmen angered Qin Wentian, causing him to go and fight for the lead seat. And as for Qin Wentian, he really succeeded. In that case, since the lead seat was already occupied, he could only fight for the second row, just like before.
His silhouette flashed as he stepped onto the left seat of the second row. The demonic lion also flashed and stepped onto the right seat of the second row. Their seats were exactly the same as twelve years ago. It was just that right now, there was an additional person in front of them.
The experts all stepped out one after another. The competition for the immortal seats was as intense as ever. Out of the three thousand seats, over two thousand had already been occupied. Gradually, everyone quietened down as they sat on their seats, waiting for the lecture of the Sacred Academy to begin.
Closing their eyes, astral light flashed as their consciousnesses appeared in the starry space. That ethereal figure once again appeared before everyone.
Everyone sat there and bowed slightly, indicating their respect.
"Today, I'm very gratified that the lead seat is occupied." That ethereal voice smiled. After that, he continued, "Is the heavens higher than the humans, or is the humans higher than the heavens?"
This voice was too profound. This sudden sentence caused everyone to sink into silence. No one dared to speak.
The lead seat contended against the heavens. Could it be that he wanted to ask if the heavens were taller than the humans, or was the humans taller than the heavens? The so-called 'humans' naturally included all the greater demons. They were all seated here in human form.
"Is there no one who can answer?" That figure asked again.
"What is the heavens?" Jia Nantian suddenly asked.
"The heavens are the heavens." The ethereal voice laughed, but didn't explain.
"I've cultivated in a particle world before and I also know that in the surroundings of the immortal realms, there are countless particle worlds. The lifeforms in each particle world, because their cultivation bases are weak, they all feel that the heavens are supreme and unreachable. However, for those who enter the immortal realm, they can actually break through the restrictions of particle worlds and enter the immortal realms. Hence, I feel that the heavens are nothing but an illusory thing in our imaginations. It originally doesn't exist, or maybe, it's just the supreme law of a certain world."
Qin Wentian slowly spoke. "If this is the case, your cultivation base is weaker than the heavens, but the heavens are naturally taller than the humans. If your cultivation base is stronger than the heavens, the humans are taller than the heavens."
"Continue." The ethereal voice laughed as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"Senior said twelve years ago that stellar martial cultivators have to comprehend, use, transform into, and create laws. If the heavens itself is a type of order, humans should be able to learn from it when they are weak. But when they reach a certain level of strength, they should be able to change from learning to breaking, or creating." Qin Wentian nodded.
"What you said is correct." The ethereal voice laughed. "In truth, since you described the heavens as a type of law, there are two different concepts: broad and narrow. If we look at it from a broad perspective, the countless worlds in the starry space all have their own laws of operation. Could it be that these laws were created by humans? In that case, were humans the ones who created the worlds, or were the worlds the ones who gave birth to humans?"
"Junior has no idea." Qin Wentian shook his head and smiled bitterly. This question was too profound. Most probably, only those who stood at the peak of the boundless starry space would have the qualifications to explore it.
"I have no idea as well." The ethereal figure smiled. "However, it's not bad that you're able to understand so much. I'll take you to a place to experience it. Perhaps you'll be able to gain a deeper understanding. Having more of your own insights will be beneficial to your future cultivation."
Beams of intense astral light enveloped everyone. That beam of light seemed to originate from the depths of the starry space. They only felt their wills trembling, as though their minds were about to explode. Even their bodies were trembling violently.
The light flashed, and in the vast starry space, numerous silhouettes could be seen floating there. At this moment, the hearts of everyone pounded violently as they stared at the gigantic creature before them. That was a greater demon that shone with boundless light, a terrifying great roc that spanned across the heavens and earth, radiating resplendent light. No one knew how gigantic it was exactly. They could only see it clearly when they stood in the air. They also understood that although the great roc was just inches away from them, it was still extremely far away.
The body of the great roc shone with boundless light. Each beam of light was a great roc that flowed unceasingly. The aura emanating from it caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. It was as though just a single strand of energy from the great roc would be enough to annihilate them.
"This, is this a constellation?" Someone mumbled in a low voice. As the light flashed, the pain they felt earlier appeared again. In the next instant, their consciousness returned to their original positions, but there were still huge waves of shock in their hearts. They inclined their heads and stared at the boundless starry space!
