Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the sky. He was still sitting on the towering stone pillar but he had a feeling that his body was moving.
The entire Sky Connecting Realm was moving, moving towards the boundless starry space. The diagram of the Sky Connecting Realm seemed to be an extremely powerful divine formation.
"Starry space!"
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared into the distance. There seemed to be an incomparably gigantic constellation there. Despite the distance, he could still sense how vast and tyrannical its aura was.
"Are we shuttling through the starry space?" A thought appeared in the minds of many people. When an intense beam of light descended, the piercing divine light made it so that they couldn't open their eyes. The light ahead was countless times more dazzling compared to the sun. At this moment, their eyes couldn't endure the light, even their immortal senses couldn't resist it. Everyone instantly lost their senses.
"BOOM!" An intense tremor rang out. Qin Wentian's immortal sense could finally stretch out. When he opened his eyes, he was still sitting on the towering stone pillar. However, Qing'er, Qingcheng and the others who were beside him had already vanished.
Before him, a figure could be seen floating in the air.
This person was someone Qin Wentian had never seen before. He quietly stood there as though he had always been waiting for him. He was clad in simple robes and his cultivation base wasn't high, only at the sixth-level of immortal-foundation, the same as him. However, just by standing there casually, he gave off a feeling as though he was one with the heavens and earth. Such a sense of perfect harmony caused Qin Wentian to feel moved. He knew that he wouldn't be able to do this.
"Between the two of us, only one can leave here alive." The young man calmly spoke. Qin Wentian frowned. Was the last dao lecture of the Tiandao Sacred Academy a life-and-death tempering exercise? But who was this person?
At the instant he turned, Qin Wentian could sense the aura of this person changing. In an instant, a divine glow radiated from him, piercing everyone's eyes. His physique was like that of a fiendgod as the halo of light enveloped this entire space. At this instant, Qin Wentian felt an unexcelled pressure. It was as though this entire space was under his control.
Qin Wentian knew that he couldn't find a second sixth-level immortal-foundation expert who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him in the Tiandao Sacred Academy. However, this person truly caused Qin Wentian to feel an incomparably intense threat. Clearly, this person wasn't someone who belonged to Wu Xiu of the Tiandao Sacred Academy.
Qin Wentian's aura gushed forth as a heavy look flashed in his eyes. This was a powerful enemy.
"BOOM!" That person suddenly moved. In an instant, boundless lightning bolts descended from the sky, enveloping the area where Qin Wentian was at. That person transformed into lightning and instantly appeared before Qin Wentian. A war chariot of thunder appeared, crushing everything in its path, including Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's countenance drastically changed. At the instant his opponent acted, only then did he know that this person was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
The God's Hand transformed into a terrifying palm imprint and blasted out explosively. The terrifying Shadow of the Divine Turtle enveloped him as ancient characters floated about.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!" Under the might of the war chariot, everything was crushed. The palm imprint shattered, the ancient characters were destroyed, and the Shadow of the Divine Turtle exploded. Qin Wentian was ruthlessly flung through the air, groaning in pain as he coughed out a mouthful of blood.
His countenance was as pale as paper, staring in shock at the figure before him. Boundless destructive lightning radiated from the body of his opponent, it was incomparably dazzling. Thunder and lightning unceasingly descended from the sky, blasting into the surroundings of Qin Wentian. Numerous terrifying war chariots of thunder appeared, capable of crushing everything in the world.
"Body of laws, immortal-king might." Qin Wentian stared fixedly at his opponent. He knew that regardless of which aspect he was proficient in, he was already extremely outstanding. However, with just a single strike, he was injured. The enemy before him was actually even more terrifying compared to Huang Shatian.
"You must have learned many things in the Tiandao Sacred Academy. If not, you would have already died from that strike. Sadly, you didn't learn enough. Hence, you can only die now." The expression on the other party's face was indifferent, as though he was talking about something insignificant. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a ruthless light as he directly activated the power of his bloodline, causing a terrifying aura to erupt forth from him.
The eyes of his opponent flashed as an expression of interest appeared on his face. But after that, a tyrannical thunder might gushed forth from him as well. At this instant, his long hair fluttered in the wind as the sound of thunder filled the air. The entire world seemed to have transformed into a world of thunder and lightning.
"Bloodline power?" His opponent laughed. The aura gushing forth from him was also a fearsome bloodline power.
"KILL!" He pointed his finger forward. Instantly, thunder war chariots rumbled as they instantly appeared before Qin Wentian. Each war chariot contained a fearsome destructive might, sufficient to destroy everything. Qin Wentian was unceasingly forced back. The attacks of his opponent seemed to be boundless. Such an innate technique was already at the level of an ultimate art.
Qin Wentian's immortal-foundation radiated boundless blood-colored demonic light. Numerous greater demons frenziedly erupted forth, yet they were unable to destroy the war chariots.
"He can actually endure for so long." A look of shock flashed in the eyes of the young man. With a thunderous boom, his body vanished from sight and appeared in the airspace above Qin Wentian, riding on the nine thunder war chariots. The front of these war chariots had the Thunder God's Spear, as well as a destructive darkness qi. With a thunderous boom, the war chariots descended from the sky, directly blasting into Qin Wentian's body.
At this instant, no matter how powerful the attack was, it would all be destroyed.
Qin Wentian roared, unleashing his strongest attack. Using his true divine-like body, he activated God's Hand and unleashed a devouring demonic might that instantly engulfed the war chariot, enveloping it within.
That young man frowned. After that, he directly drove the Thunder Chariot into the terrifying whirlpool. After that, a terrifying explosion sound rang out from within the apocalyptic whirlpool as a terrifying storm raged out. The sound of the explosion rang out as the whirlpool was destroyed. That young man appeared once more as the Thunder Chariot was destroyed. That young man seemed to be in a sorry state, but he wasn't injured at all.
"That broken academy actually managed to nurture someone like you. How rare." A look of arrogance flashed in the eyes of the young man as he coldly spoke. "But you still have to die."
As he spoke, the war chariots appeared once more. At this instant, there were eighteen of them. The immortal-king might he controlled was actually even stronger compared to Huang Shatian. In addition to the augmentation from his bloodline, he could simply be said to be invincible among immortals.
Qin Wentian had a look of despair on his face. He had never thought that he would encounter such a terrifying opponent. When the eighteen war chariots swept past, the destruction of the heavens and earth could be felt. Qin Wentian's body was directly penetrated by the destructive might. At this instant, he felt an intense reluctance in his heart.
After forty years in the Sacred Academy, his cultivation had risen so much. Would he die just like that?
After he died, what would Qing'er do? What would Qingcheng do? If they encountered such a situation, would they be able to survive?
After he died, what would happen to the hatred of his parents?
His consciousness gradually dissipated. His soul was about to dissipate, and there were still many reluctance in his heart.
At this instant, countless scenes flashed through his mind. These scenes were like a projection, from when he was young in the Sky Harmony City of Chu, to when he saw Qingcheng in love. In his heart, there was a deep longing for her.
"Why do you pursue the martial path?" A voice rang out in his mind.
In this life, why did he pursue the martial path?
For the sake of Qingcheng, he destroyed the Pill Emperor Hall. For the sake of Qing'er, he entered the Evergreen Kingdom. And for the sake of his father, he had to go through all sorts of cruel experiences. Pursuing the martial path, for the sake of this world, couldn't obstruct his true heart.
"RUMBLE!" His mind trembled violently as his consciousness returned to his body. Qin Wentian abruptly opened his eyes, only to feel that his entire body was drenched in sweat. He glanced at his surroundings, and when he saw Qing'er and Qingcheng, a deep sense of joy could be seen in his eyes. He discovered that both Qing'er and Qingcheng were looking at him, and there were even traces of tears at the corners of their eyes.
At this instant, Qin Wentian suddenly understood. Most probably, in that instant earlier, they must have experienced the same thing as him.
Was that real, or was it an illusion?
Qin Wentian stared at the Sky Connecting Realm, not daring to be certain. Was that an illusion? Why did it feel so real? Even the innate techniques were so real. The strength of the other party, the strength of the other party, he felt as though he had personally experienced it.
Was that real? Why was there such a powerful and terrifying Wu Xiu?
In fact, he even referred to the Tiandao Sacred Academy as a broken academy!
The holy land where Wu Xiu pursued the path of cultivation, the place where ancient emperors were nurtured, was actually a broken academy?
"In that instant earlier, I'm sure all of you should have sensed something. Why do you pursue the martial path? You all should understand what your obsession is. This is your endless motivation. Maybe it might seem inconspicuous, but in truth, the depth of your obsession would determine how far you can walk in the future."
An ethereal voice drifted over. On the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock, an ethereal Shadow appeared. The entire Sky Connecting Realm seemed to be floating in the starry space. What sort of existence was the master of the Sky Connecting Realm exactly? Was the person preaching the dao the master of the Sacred Academy?
Qin Wentian deeply agreed with the words of the other party. The obsession a person had with cultivation would determine how strong their determination was. If it wasn't for him being forced by the external environment, maybe he would still be able to cultivate to his current cultivation realm, but it wouldn't be so fast. "I've seen many people in my life.
Some people couldn't break through the barrier of immortal-foundation after living for too long, and they would give up on themselves. Some people were trapped in the immortal king realm for too long, and their heart demons would grow, causing them to lose their original self. At that time, without sufficient conviction, they might only be able to stand at the same level for their entire lives. You guys are the same as well. Not just one person, but all of you will eventually be stuck at the same cultivation realm. "
The voice of the other party seemed to contain a mysterious magical power. They could feel that when they were stuck at a certain cultivation realm and couldn't advance any further, that kind of struggle would surely torment them to madness, causing them to gradually lose their patience and lose their original self.
Cultivation was truly too difficult. With their talent, breaking through to immortal-foundation wasn't a problem. But what about immortal kings and immortal emperors? When they were stuck at the same cultivation realm for a hundred thousand years or a million years, what would happen? It was simply unimaginable for those major characters in the immortal realms. What kind of mental struggle and tempering did they have to experience before they could achieve a state of tranquility? Most probably, all of them had great willpower and conviction to support them.
The final lecture of the Tiandao Sacred Academy didn't involve the cultivation of the Great Dao like before. Instead, it started from the topic of death, from the state of one's heart, gradually drawing the attention of the audience, causing them to sink into it.
