"What happened just now?" In the night sky above the Emperor Star Academy, a low voice rang out.
That instant of light illuminated the night sky of the Emperor Star Academy. It was as though they had seen a second starry sky. This scene was too miraculous.
The body of the old guardian of the Astral River Hall trembled even more violently as he stared at the young and handsome silhouette slowly walking out of the Astral River Hall. Under his aged countenance, a blazing heat could be seen in his eyes.
Although it was only an instant, he actually managed to ascend to the 6th level of the Astral River Hall. How did this fellow do it?
"Too terrifying." At this moment, Qin Wentian was still extremely depressed. When he ascended to the 5th level, he discovered that the runes of the 5th layer of the Astral River Hall flowed together, converging together to form a fist light that pressed downwards. It was extremely ferocious, causing him to be unable to withstand it. Using his strongest will, he broke through the restriction of the 5th layer and ascended to the 6th level.
However, in the space of the sixth level, in just an instant, he saw the sky full of stars seem to transform into falling fist lights, converging together and blasting towards him, almost killing him, directly forcing him back to the fifth level.
Because his will was heavily injured, it was difficult for him to remain on the 5th level. Hence, Qin Wentian had no choice but to exit the Astral River Hall, leaving behind a resplendent beam of light in the darkness of the Emperor Star Academy.
"I'm going to enter closed-door seclusion." The moment Qin Wentian exited the Astral River Hall, the first thing he said was that he was going to cultivate.
"Eh …" Fan Le's eyes flickered. Did this perverted beast not know what he had done earlier?
"Tomorrow is the Jun Lin Banquet." After a moment of silence, Fan Le spoke to Qin Wentian.
"I want to cultivate." Qin Wentian stared at Fan Le as he hurriedly departed the area.
Fatty's eyes flashed as he asked, "Could it be that the crucial moment has arrived?"
Speaking of which, Qin Wentian had stayed in the Astral River Hall for so many days, he should have gained many insights. Fatty didn't believe that that bastard would waste his time here.
Earlier, he had personally witnessed how after so many days of silence, Qin Wentian had finally erupted with a resplendent radiance.
The only pity was that there was no audience … Fatty, this was too depressing.
Thinking of this, the fat man pulled a long face and chased after Qin Wentian, the fat on his body jiggling.
The Emperor Star Academy was still as quiet as ever, but at this moment, there were many who felt their hearts trembling. They had always been in the Emperor Star Academy, protecting this sacred ground. It was as though they were eternally hidden in the darkness, rarely coming out. In fact, even when they came out, nobody knew who they were.
Qin Wentian had indeed returned to closed-door seclusion. Even if the Jun Lin Banquet was held tomorrow, he wanted to sort out the insights he had gained during these few days. Those insights would be able to allow his strength to take another step forward, and when he stacked them together, he would be able to undergo a transformation.
Therefore, as soon as he returned to his residence, he fell asleep. It was a dream of his own making.
Beside him, there were many Yuan Meteor Stones. These Yuan Meteor Stones could be used at any time.
Tonight, at the place where Qin Wentian was staying, the Astral Light was exceptionally resplendent. In the skies, two constellations cascaded downwards, enveloping the sleeping Qin Wentian.
Although he was in a state of deep sleep, Qin Wentian released both of his Astral Souls at the same time, absorbing the Astral Energy from the Astral Light. Within his body, crackling sounds could be heard unceasingly. A terrifying energy was currently frenziedly battering against his body, akin to the crashing waves of the ocean. The crashing sounds were exceptionally clear in the darkness of the night.
At this moment, Qin Wentian didn't fall into a deep dream. He was only observing his own body in his sleep. At this moment, it was as though he could see the acupoints and arterial pathways in his body, as well as the veins and arteries in his body. A brand new pathway was being madly opened up, gushing towards every part of his body.
A beam of light shone into Qin Wentian's body. Seven Stellar Meridians were opened up, and these seven Stellar Meridians were akin to seven Astral Rivers that flowed horizontally across his body. Each of them had their own trajectories, yet there seemed to be a miraculous connection between them. Motes of Astral Light flowed within the Stellar Meridians, causing Qin Wentian to feel slightly moved in his heart.
He shattered the meridians in his body, allowing the Astral Energy to converge into a river. The newly formed Stellar Meridians were truly akin to the Astral River. Wasn't the body of a human also akin to the Starry Sky?
"Now that my Stellar Meridians are unobstructed, it's much easier for me to unleash innate techniques from my hands. However, the Astral River is magnificent, and the Astral Energy can be channeled to any location. Within my body, innate techniques condensed from Astral Energy can also be unleashed from my feet. Or it can be the same as before, when I spit out palm imprints from my mouth."
Qin Wentian thought in his heart. He increasingly felt that cultivation wasn't easy. Why couldn't he open up his mind and develop his own way of thinking? Instead, he had to follow the limits of his thoughts and cultivate step by step.
He himself had once linked Divine Imprints and innate techniques together. Even Senior Gùng Hong hadn't thought of this. And Senior Gùng Hong had also said that after stepping into the Heavenly Dipper Realm, Astral Souls would become a type of attack. Now, he could also use them to attack innate techniques.
The path of cultivation was difficult, but this difficult path was boundlessly vast. Why couldn't he roam freely within it?
When he awoke from his dream, it was already daytime. The morning air was slightly damp, emitting a hint of coldness.
Qin Wentian opened his eyes, and within them, a sharp glint of light erupted forth, as resplendent as the constellations in the night sky. It was as though there was a constellation within his eyes. He only felt his mind becoming clearer, his vision becoming clearer, and his ears becoming more sensitive. He could even hear the slightest movement of the grass in the wind. This was the change brought about by his cultivation base.
Every time he opened an Arterial Pathway, his cultivation base would rise, and the quality of his body would also rise accordingly.
"My Yuan Meteor Stones have been completely depleted." Qin Wentian mused in his heart. Cultivation consumed too many resources. Luckily, the current him didn't need to worry about Yuan Meteor Stones for the time being.
Stretching his muscles, Qin Wentian's body emitted a crisp crackling sound as he stood up. This feeling was extremely wonderful, as all the pores on his body felt incomparably comfortable.
"You're finally willing to wake up." A voice drifted over from the side. Fatty Fan Le was lazily lying in a pavilion, his eyes still drowsy, as though he hadn't woken up yet.
"Fatty, why are you sleeping here?" Qin Wentian couldn't help but smile as he discovered Fan Le's presence.
"Waiting for you to participate in the Jun Lin Banquet." Fan Le stood up, dusting off the dust on his robes as he stared at Qin Wentian in disdain. However, in that disdainful gaze of his, Fan Le couldn't even allow Fatty to have a good night's sleep.
"You're going to participate as well?" Qin Wentian's eyes shone with a brilliant light. These few days, Teacher Mustang had been watching over Fatty's cultivation, and his improvement should be extremely great. Not only that, Qin Wentian had given Fatty quite a number of Yuan Meteor Stones for his cultivation.
Qin Wentian was very clear that Fatty's talent wasn't bad at all. Just like what Mustang had said, Fatty was simply too lazy.
"I'm going to place my bet." Fatty casually replied. He was thinking that after Qin Wentian registered and displayed his talent, Heaven's Wonder would definitely offer a payout for Qin Wentian. At that time, he would bet everything he had on Qin Wentian. For someone like Qin Wentian who was completely disregarded, as long as he could charge into the top 9 rankings, the payout would definitely be extremely high.
As he thought of this, Fatty's eyes shone as he stared at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to involuntarily shiver. What kind of devious scheme was this bastard plotting?
Early in the morning, the Chu Emperor District was already filled with a sea of people. The Royal Capital had sent out an army of ten thousand to maintain order, sealing off the entire area around the Chu Emperor District. Anyone who came to spectate had to maintain a certain distance from the Chu Emperor District, and not disturb the commencement of the Jun Lin Banquet.
This region was the same as many other regions in the Royal Capital. For those below Yuanfu, flying was prohibited. However, at this moment, there were many demonic beasts flying about in the skies.
Not only that, in the direction of the Royal Capital, there were rows of demonic beasts carrying delicacies and wine, placing them on the cleanly cleaned tables. Staring at the silhouettes of demonic beasts that blotted out the skies, the spectators couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. This was the grandest event in the Chu Country every year.
The Jun Lin Banquet was being held today.
The Royal Clan had invited the nobles and nobles, as well as guests from all over the world.
"The people from the Mu Clan have arrived. The Mu Clan that has always been low-profile has actually arrived early." The gazes of the spectators shifted towards the platform, only to see a row of silhouettes appearing there. The Mu Clan was one of the noble clans of the Royal Capital, and naturally, they had a seat there.
Mu Rou also appeared within the crowd of the Mu Clan.
"The people from the Ou Clan have also arrived. I heard that Orchon is extremely ambitious this time around." Another row of silhouettes descended. These were none other than the people from the Ou Clan.
According to the payout rates offered by Heaven's Wonder, Orchon had an extremely high possibility of obtaining one of the top 9 rankings. Most probably, the Ou Clan was currently sharpening their blades.
"The people from the Ye Clan and the Violet King Palace have arrived together."
"And who are the people following behind the Ye Clan? That young lady is extremely beautiful, but I don't think the Ye Clan has such a character."
"That's Autumn Snow from the Bai Clan. She once caused a huge commotion, but when she was condensing her 2nd Astral Soul, there seemed to be signs of her death." Someone replied, as the crowd was enlightened. So it was the Bai Clan from the Sky Harmony City. At this time last year, this matter had also caused a huge commotion in the Royal Capital. After all, the person who condensed his first Astral Soul for the 3rd Astral Soul was someone who created history.
After arriving in the Royal Capital, Autumn Snow didn't have much achievements, and the Bai Clan was gradually forgotten by the masses. Instead, Qin Wentian, who had lost face in the Sky Harmony City, had now become a character that no one dared to approach.
"The people from the various martial academies have also arrived." At this moment, more and more people arrived, causing a huge commotion.
"The people from the Star River Association have also arrived."
"The people from the Divine Weapon Pavilion have also arrived."
"The people from the Mo Clan have also arrived."
The crowd stared at the platform, as they felt a surge of emotions in their hearts. The various transcendent powers of the Royal Capital had all gathered at the Jun Lin Banquet.
