Qin Wentian vanished once more. This time around, the main reason why he came out was because he felt that his emperor's fate wasn't strong enough. Hence, he forcefully barged into the City of Ancient Emperors and initiated a glorious battle, causing his emperor's fate to grow even stronger.
After this battle, he directly departed, heading towards the boundlessly vast City of Ancient Emperors in search of good fortune.
Emperor's fate was fate. The stronger one's fate was, the more good fortune one would be able to see. Qin Wentian could already confirm this point. This time around, his emperor's fate grew even stronger. He had already visited some of the mysterious places in the City of Ancient Emperors and was able to see more secrets than before.
As for the words of the crown prince, although he had heard of it before, he didn't really care about it. At his current cultivation realm, his state of heart was extremely extraordinary. How could he be angered by a single word from others?
In addition, it was rumored that the crown prince was a character who stood at the peak of the immortal king realm in the City of Ancient Emperors. His cultivation base was also at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm. Even if what the crown prince said was true and he could defeat Qin Wentian, what did that mean? What he wanted to do now was to increase his strength. When he reached the peak-stage of the immortal king realm, he believed that he would be able to sweep through all the immortal kings in the City of Ancient Emperors. At that time, all the emperor's fate in the City of Ancient Emperors would belong to him.
However, raising one's strength wasn't something that could be done in a day or two. This was especially so for those who have cultivated to Qin Wentian's current cultivation realm. For some people, they might not be able to break through even after thousands or tens of thousands of years. Although the era had changed, with many shocking characters appearing and the fate of the entire immortal realms changing, if he didn't have any great good fortune, he wouldn't be able to break through to the peak-stage of the immortal king realm in a short period of time.
And for such good fortune, Qin Wentian naturally hoped that he would be able to find it in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Not only for him, those famous characters in the City of Ancient Emperors were also searching for good fortune here. Their names resounded through the City of Ancient Emperors and their emperor's fate was extremely dense. They could manifest corporeal forms and knew a lot more. Naturally, they had to search for good fortune of their own.
Hence, in the City of Ancient Emperors, the Saber-Sword Immortal King's whereabouts were as elusive as a dragon's head. However, a group of people who wanted to hunt him down naturally included Zidi and a peak-stage immortal king prince from the Nine Emperors Immortal State. His strength was extremely shocking and the Saber-Sword Immortal King killed many immortal kings from his Nine Emperors Immortal State. He naturally had to take revenge for this.
There was also that crown prince character. His command had no effect on Qin Wentian. The Saber-Sword Immortal King directly vanished, causing his words to be like a fart. He was enraged and immediately gave the order to search for the Saber-Sword Immortal King.
However, how could he find the Saber-Sword Immortal King? At this moment, Qin Wentian arrived before a mountain. He came here once before and felt that this mountain was extremely mystical. Under the augmentation of emperor's fate, he could see through the mysteries but he had no way to see through them completely.
This time, he came here again. His emperor's fate flourished. His eyes became even more terrifying, as though they were shining with golden runic light. In an instant, the heavens and earth changed. This entire space seemed to have changed. In the desolate mountain range, immortal palaces, pavilions, and pavilions appeared. There was even the sound of flowing water flowing down from the mountains. There was even a waterfall cascading down.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. How could this be? There were actually two completely different types of spatial illusions.
"Is this an illusory technique? Isn't this a little too realistic?" Qin Wentian silently mused. He observed this space as he slowly stepped out. The melody of a zither rang out, it was extremely melodious. He couldn't help but to walk in the direction of the melody. In front of a pavilion with flowing water, a middle-aged man with long black hair could be seen playing the zither.
At this moment, that middle-aged man inclined his head and stared at Qin Wentian. In just an instant, Qin Wentian's eyes seemed to be pierced through as he fell into a void. In this desolate space, only that middle-aged man stood there.
"Who are you?" An ethereal voice drifted over, it was unknown where it originated from. Qin Wentian wanted to struggle free but he discovered that he had no idea where to start. This illusory technique was simply too tyrannical, causing him to fall into a trance with a single glance. It was simply too terrifying.
"This one is the Saber-Sword Immortal King." Qin Wentian spoke.
"You lied to me. You are wearing a mask on your face, hiding your identity. What do you mean by that?" That voice rang out once more. Qin Wentian's heart trembled, he didn't expect that the middle-aged man would be able to see through him with a single glance.
Qin Wentian removed his mask, revealing his true features. "I'm Qin Wentian. Because I have too many enemies, I have to hide my identity. I hope that senior won't blame me."
As the sound of his voice faded, the scene earlier vanished. He once again returned to that beautiful illusory scene. The middle-aged man before him had long hair that draped over his shoulders, exuding a carefree aura. His eyes gleamed with sharpness, exuding a fearsome might. It was unknown how many terrifying characters he was.
"Given senior's cultivation base, why would you be in the City of Ancient Emperors?" Qin Wentian was slightly startled.
"You basically have no idea what sort of place the City of Ancient Emperors is, right?" The middle-aged man inclined his head, his black eyes staring at Qin Wentian as he emotionlessly spoke.
"Junior heard that the City of Ancient Emperors is an independent dimension, containing dao elements from other immortal realms. I don't know if this is true or false, I hope that senior can guide me." Qin Wentian clasped his hands. This middle-aged man was able to cause him to fall into a trance with a single glance, he was definitely an empyrean character.
"The City of Ancient Emperors has a total of three dimensions. The third dimension is also known as the overlapping dimension. In order to restrict immortal emperors from seizing the good fortune of immortal kings, there are overlapping dimensions. The three dimensions you are in are one, overlapping with each other. However, both of you are restricted by the laws of the City of Ancient Emperors. You don't know the existence of the other, but you can share everything in the third dimension."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed when he heard this. There was actually such a thing?
"As for the dao elements from other immortal realms you spoke of, it's true. However, they don't exist in every era. Only when the laws of the heavens and earth change and an extraordinary era descends would the dao elements from other immortal realms appear. Also, in such an era, the price of seizing the dao elements is extremely high." The middle-aged man continued.
"What price?" Qin Wentian asked.
"When a dao element appears, there would definitely be many experts competing for it. It's incomparably cruel, and each dao element would only choose a single person to inherit it. Hence, the other competitors would all die. As long as you accept the dao element in the City of Ancient Emperors, you have to walk on this bloody path of slaughter, defeating all your enemies in the world."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed, feeling a little shocked in his heart. In that case, the reason why the black dragon said the era had changed, and the rules were changed, forcing him to compete with the other geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors, was because of this?
"Senior, how do you know so much about this?" Qin Wentian curiously asked. "Who are you, and why are you here?"
"Haha, do you find it very strange? Because I'm the one who lost the competition for the dao element and was sealed here, forever sealed in the City of Ancient Emperors." That middle-aged man spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. "Senior, are you a character from the ancient era?"
"That's right. Not only for me, there are also many people who didn't die. All of them were sealed here in the City of Ancient Emperors, but ordinary people wouldn't be able to see them. Your emperor's fate is extremely strong, and you cultivate an ability similar to mine. That's why you can come here and see me."
"What ability?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"The power of dreams."
"This place is a dreamscape created by senior?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered. "In that case, when I was trapped in the independent space earlier, was that a dream within a dream?"
"Your reaction isn't bad. Everything you saw was merely a dreamscape, a combination of a dream and a certain type of energy. In reality, everything you saw was fake. When I saw the emperor's fate on you, I knew that the rules of the City of Ancient Emperors are changing. Another era has arrived." The middle-aged man sighed.
"How can junior help senior break free?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Help me break free? Haha!" The middle-aged man laughed uproariously. "We are fated to meet. Earlier when we met, I'll let you know the cruel truth of the City of Ancient Emperors. You're on your own now."
As the sound of his voice faded, the illusory space gradually dissipated. Qin Wentian still stood before the mountain, staring at the illusory scene before him. Everything seemed to be fake, and that middle-aged man didn't even exist here.
Qin Wentian sat down cross-legged, directly cultivating here. The space stacked up, and the dream felt real. Qin Wentian had an epiphany in his heart. The power of the dreamscape shouldn't be limited to creating the Dream Devil Sword Art. There should be even more miraculous uses to it.
Every time he cultivated, every time he leveled up, Qin Wentian's comprehension of law energy would deepen, and his cultivation base would grow stronger as well.
After cultivating for a long time, Qin Wentian left, but he still roamed around the City of Ancient Emperors. He saw many wondrous sceneries and saw some empyreans entering the secret realms to cultivate. He also had his own good fortune. Unknowingly, Qin Wentian has already been in the City of Ancient Emperors for many years.
During these years, the City of Ancient Emperors kept on changing. Many rarely seen phenomena appeared. For example, there were ancient trees that extended down from the sky, exuding a terrifying law energy. There were also ancient mountains that bloomed with flowers. There were plants that transformed into the dao, exuding all sorts of powerful law energy. There were also plants that swayed in the wind, exuding a heaven-shaking sword might that would slay anyone who got close to them.
These strange phenomena were somewhat similar to the Demon God Mountain back then. Many people said that the appearance of these phenomena was a sign that a great opportunity was about to descend. Something major was about to happen in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Finally, this day has arrived.
In the airspace above the City of Ancient Emperors, a resplendent light illuminated the area. At this instant, the ancient trees grew even more luxuriant. Their branches and leaves clasped their hands towards the sky, as though they were worshipping a saint. Numerous flowers of life broke through the gigantic rocks in the mountain range, growing madly, as though they were in a rush to bathe in some kind of light. The plants and spiritual qi in the air were also growing rapidly, welcoming this great change.
At this instant, the countless empyreans in the City of Ancient Emperors all inclined their heads and stared at the sky. Over there, boundless runic light cascaded downwards, transforming into ancient characters as the melody of the Great Dao resounded through the air. This phenomenon caused everyone to be stunned.
"Dao element inheritance, this is the legendary dao element inheritance. There's actually a dao element from the outer heavens descending into the City of Ancient Emperors." Someone exclaimed in shock. As expected, there was karma behind the changes in the world!
