Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. The competition in the City of Ancient Emperors was actually so intense?
He naturally understood that this place wasn't the first place he came to. Although they were both in the City of Ancient Emperors, they weren't in the same level. This place might be the third level, a place where immortal kings could enter.
At this moment, Qin Wentian discovered another phenomenon. The immortal kings here all had faint traces of emperor light behind their backs. As for the four immortal kings fighting in the air, the emperor light behind them was even denser, radiating resplendent multicolored light that was extremely dazzling, resembling divine light.
"Emperor's Fate." The female immortal king had a look of fascination on her face. "From ancient times until now, how many immortal kings and emperors have come to the City of Ancient Emperors? Why did they come here?"
"Emperor's Fate is something unique to the third level of the City of Ancient Emperors. The more dazzling one is, the more emperor's fate would be. When emperor's fate is condensed, it can open a secret realm in the City of Ancient Emperors. It's rumored that many supreme innate techniques and techniques of the immortal emperors originated from the City of Ancient Emperors. And now, with the appearance of the Tiandao Sacred Academy and the appearance of the Demongod Mountain, a new era has arrived. All the rare and rare ultimate arts should appear one after another."
The female immortal king's eyes gleamed brightly. "Enjoy it well. This era will definitely not disappoint you. This will be an era where ordinary immortal kings are like ants. This will also be an era where supreme geniuses will shine brightly."
"Right now, does the entire immortal realms feel that a new era is about to arrive?" Qin Wentian mumbled.
"Naturally, compared to the era of ancient emperors countless years ago, the immortal realms have been silent for many years. The appearance of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy itself is a kind of omen. Now, with the appearance of the Demongod Mountain, even the current City of Ancient Emperors has undergone an indescribable transformation. In fact, this transformation is still growing in intensity. Right now, there are already many people saying that the City of Ancient Emperors has sensed the arrival of so many experts, and that the prelude to the grand era is about to begin.
"Even the City of Ancient Emperors has undergone a transformation?" Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Seems like this transformation has truly engulfed the entire immortal realms.
"Thank you for telling me." Qin Wentian cupped one hand in the other before his chest and thanked him.
"You're welcome. Even if I don't say it, you will soon find out. It's just a slight effort on my part. Naturally, if we have to fight in the future, I won't be polite." The beautiful eyes of the female immortal king flashed with a smile. Qin Wentian nodded, "Naturally."
At this moment, a great battle had just ended in the air. Shooting Sun Kingdom's expert had unleashed a barrage of divine arrows, causing the Golden Roc to fall and gravely injure him. Qin Wentian could see that the emperor's fate behind him had grown brighter while the Golden Roc's had weakened considerably. One was flourishing while the other was declining.
"First, let's take the scepter and control the god." Qin Wentian silently mused. After that, he bid farewell to the female immortal king and departed. Back then when he left the City of Ancient Emperors, he had a connection with that place. The black dragon told him that after his cultivation base grew stronger, he would come back here to take the scepter. This time around, he came to the City of Ancient Emperors because he wanted to obtain the scepter that no other geniuses in the third level could obtain.
Qin Wentian had no distractions in his heart as he sped towards a certain direction. On his way there, he saw countless geniuses contending against each other. Kings fought against each other, causing the sky to change color as the space around them was in chaos. There were also experts with unparalleled amounts of emperor's fate behind them, incomparably resplendent and extremely powerful.
He also saw some secret realms. On top of a towering stone pillar, an expert with an exuberant amount of emperor's fate could be seen sitting cross-legged, as though he had obtained some sort of mysterious inheritance. In a radius of a hundred miles, no one could enter. The surroundings of the towering stone pillar were filled with terrifying calamitous light, destroying everything that came near it.
All sorts of wondrous sceneries appeared before his eyes. Qin Wentian could sense how extraordinary this level of the City of Ancient Emperors was. After many days, he arrived at a desolate place. The Antiquity City floated in the air, surrounded by experts as many as the clouds. There were even greater demons flying in the air, circling around the Antiquity City, yet they had no way to enter.
"It's closed, why is the ancient pathway closed?" Someone spoke with reluctance. That person was incomparably dazzling, with a resplendent divine glow above his head and emperor's fate behind him. Yet, he still couldn't enter.
Sighing, his silhouette flashed as he departed in disappointment. However, there were still many experts waiting for him. They were filled with reluctance. Back then when they came here, they all had a chance to enter the ancient pathway. But now, it was closed.
"Senior Black Dragon once promised me that the palace would be closed. Seems like he didn't lie to me." Qin Wentian silently mused. He continued forward, heading towards the ancient pathway.
"There's no need to go any further. The ancient pathway is closed, no one can enter." An expert calmly spoke.
Qin Wentian continued forward. That expert had a cold smile on his face. After that, Qin Wentian stepped onto the ancient pathway. At this instant, a resplendent light flashed as the pathway opened up. Qin Wentian continued forward, unobstructed. The eyes of the experts in the surroundings gleamed with sharpness as they stared at Qin Wentian.
"How can this be? Why can he enter?" Someone asked, rushing into the pathway. However, the pathway was closed, not allowing them to enter.
"Who is he?" Numerous sharp gazes stared at Qin Wentian, only to see him directly walking towards the entrance of the Antiquities City.
No one knew that Qin Wentian entered the Antiquities City again, directly entering the godhood. He stared at the scepter with a fiery gaze.
"You have come." A voice rang out. Resplendent light flashed as the black dragon appeared.
"Senior, I should have the qualifications to hold the scepter now, right?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Just like what I said back then, I closed the godhood and have been waiting for you for a long time," the black dragon calmly replied. Qin Wentian bowed slightly, "Many thanks, senior."
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. I waited for you because I promised you back then. However, there's one more thing I need to explain to you. You temporarily cannot take away this scepter," the black dragon said.
"Why?" Qin Wentian asked in bewilderment. "Right now, I'm already an immortal king. Am I still not qualified?"
"That's not the case. According to the situation back then, the current you is already qualified. But now …" The black dragon slowly spoke. His eyes gleamed with a dazzling light as the scepter glowed with a terrifying luster. In an instant, Qin Wentian only felt the connection between him and the scepter being forcibly erased. This caused his expression to change, becoming extremely unsightly to behold.
"Senior, what do you mean by this? What's the difference now? "Qin Wentian furrowed his brows as he asked.
"You should also know that the winds and clouds in the outside world are changing. Right now, the era is different and the rules have changed. Everything will have to start anew. If you want to obtain the scepter again, you have to start anew." The black dragon calmly spoke.
"Fight your way in from outside the palace and pass through the ancient pathway?" Qin Wentian asked.
"That's not the case. Fight against the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors. When you are qualified enough, you will naturally understand." The black dragon replied.
"Junior still doesn't understand. Back then, I already obtained it and senior has already promised me. Why did the rules change just like that?" Qin Wentian asked, feeling extremely unhappy in his heart.
"You can't even understand when you were outside? Now that the sky has changed, the rules naturally have to change as well. In the three levels of the City of Ancient Emperors, there were many who didn't manage to enter the ancient pathway. Because your cultivation base was weaker, you had the advantage and succeeded. But now, things are different. The rules in the City of Ancient Emperors have changed and supreme demon-level geniuses will be born. Hence, you have to start anew and fight against them. "
The black dragon slowly spoke. "Naturally, you have an extraordinary bloodline and broke through to the immortal king realm in such a short period of time. Your talent is outstanding and your chances are very high. It's just that you have to fight for the qualifications again."
"Back then, I passed through so many dangers and even risked my life to obtain the inheritance. Senior actually wants me to start anew? As for the inheritance, shouldn't it belong to me the moment I obtain it? I still don't understand. What exactly is this scepter? Senior wants to overturn the rules? "Qin Wentian's voice was cold. Back then, it wasn't easy for him to barge into the Antiquity City.
Although he said he wanted to start anew, the truth was that Qin Wentian was canceling his qualifications to obtain the inheritance back then. Who wouldn't be angry?
"Hmph, why are you so stubborn?" The black dragon was also unhappy when he heard Qin Wentian's words. "The era is different and supreme demon-level geniuses will be born. If you are confident, why don't you start anew?"
"I understand. Senior thinks that although my talent is good, there might be supreme geniuses in this era who might surpass me. Hence, you want me to cancel the inheritance and fight for it again?" Qin Wentian directly spoke. Putting it bluntly, this should be what he meant.
"Precisely so." The black dragon nodded and straightforwardly replied.
"Junior, can I ask what exactly is this scepter for senior to act like this? Back then, did the ancient emperors really descend only for this scepter?" Qin Wentian asked.
"This scepter is related to the inheritance of dao elements and isn't the inheritance of this world. Hence, I made this decision after careful consideration. As for the rumors, you can trust them, but you can't completely believe them. You can leave now," the black dragon said.
"Alright, junior bids his farewell. Senior, please send me out." Qin Wentian calmed down at this moment.
The black dragon exhaled. In an instant, Qin Wentian only felt a surge of law energy enveloping him. In the next instant, he was sent out of the Antiquity City, back to the outside of the city.
"He came out." The gazes of many people turned to Qin Wentian with astonishment in their eyes. What happened to this fellow?
"The ancient pathway has reopened." At this moment, another exclamation rang out.
However, Qin Wentian acted as though he didn't see it. He didn't step on the ancient pathway anymore. He turned and directly departed the area with his back facing the Antiquity City, not giving it a second glance.
Gods, scepters … Were they the inheritances of dao elements?
It wasn't an inheritance from this world. This meant that the City of Ancient Emperors contained secrets from other immortal realms. This inheritance might have originated from the other immortal realms and came here to search for a successor.
No wonder the ruins of ancient emperors could be found here. In fact, there was even a war here. Seems like the City of Ancient Emperors had a great secret.
But even so, so what of it?
Just because it was a dao element from another immortal realm, could it be discarded and his qualifications to enter the City of Ancient Emperors be revoked?
Since this was the case, there was no need for him to give up on it.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the air. This City of Ancient Emperors was filled with secrets. He came here for the scepter, but he didn't expect that the ending would be like this!
Was it because the era was different? Could it be that in this era, it was impossible for him to ascend to the peak?!
