Qin Wentian carefully flipped through the Warbeast Index, memorizing it in his heart. Gradually, he had a rough idea of the ranking of the warbeasts in the index.
After reading through the Warbeast Index, he picked up an extremely thin booklet beside it. On the cover of the booklet, there was also a line of words.
"The 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion is located behind the first door. That place is one of the 18 training grounds of the Grand Xia Empire, the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds. Those below the Yuanfu Realm can enter, but if they die within, they will forever be deprived of the opportunity to train in the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds. Only by obtaining the spirit of the top 10 warbeasts in the Warbeast Index would one be able to enter the 8th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion."
This line of words was written with vigor and vigor, carefree and unrestrained. This was a note left behind by an expert.
At the end of this note, there was also the name of the person who signed it, Azure Emperor.
"The founder of the Emperor Star Academy, Azure Emperor."
Qin Wentian's heart trembled slightly. This note was left behind by the founder of the Emperor Star Academy.
In that case, the Heavenly Star Pavilion must have been created by him as well.
"The first door should be the one on the left." Qin Wentian stared at the door with the word '7' engraved on it.
He had never thought that the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion wasn't about any innate techniques or cultivation arts, but rather, a door.
"One of the 18 training grounds of the Grand Xia Empire, the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds." Qin Wentian walked towards the door, as he stretched out his hands, causing a brilliant light to flash.
The door opened, revealing a praying mat in front of him. On top of the praying mat, there were many runic inscriptions that resembled mystical Divine Imprints.
Qin Wentian walked in, and sat cross-legged on the praying mat. Instantly, the door closed, and the runic inscriptions on it shone brightly. Instantly, Qin Wentian's body was enveloped by a layer of light, and he felt as though his consciousness was about to be pulled out from his body. This feeling was extremely unbearable, but he still endured it.
"What exactly is this?" Qin Wentian felt as though his consciousness had left his body, and he had no way to control it. This feeling of not being able to control his body was extremely unbearable.
"Bzzz." His body abruptly descended, and Qin Wentian finally felt his consciousness regaining control. However, when he looked at his surroundings, he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Is this the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds?" Qin Wentian raised his hands and looked at them. They looked like real hands, but his body hadn't moved at all.
Or was this place just like the Dreamsky Forest, a dreamland?
But at this moment, he felt that it was much more real than a dream. It was as if he was really there.
This was him, the original body of Qin Wentian.
It was not a dream, nor was it an illusion.
This was an open field, and there were many people around Qin Wentian. They instantly noticed Qin Wentian's presence, and many people looked at Qin Wentian with strange expressions.
Why was there another person in the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds?
Qin Wentian naturally noticed the existence of the surrounding crowd. These people were all very young, with an average age of 17 to 18 years old. The younger ones were only 15 to 16 years old, and the older ones were definitely not older than 20.
Not only that, they were clearly divided into different factions, and the leader of each faction gave Qin Wentian an extraordinary feeling.
This caused Qin Wentian to speculate that the people he came into contact with on the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion were people from outside of Chu.
"We agreed to gather here. It seems that the people from the various powers have all arrived?"
A young man spoke. This young man had a devilishly handsome countenance, and he was about 17 or 18 years old. His long hair was slightly curly, and his black eyes gleamed with a demonic light.
"It seems that they have all arrived." The other young man faintly replied, as an expression of interest flickered in his eyes when he looked at Qin Wentian.
In the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, those who had the qualifications to enter were all present.
But in that case, where did these extra people come from?
Such a scene was extremely interesting.
"Oi."
A voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, only to see a beautiful young lady looking at him.
This young lady was around the same age as him, and was clad in luxurious clothing. Her lips curled into a faint smile, giving off a faint sense of arrogance.
Elegant, beautiful, this was the feeling she gave Qin Wentian.
"What's your name, and where did you come from?" The young lady smiled, as she curiously stared at Qin Wentian.
"This place is the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds?" Qin Wentian didn't reply, but asked a question instead.
"Eh, you actually know that this is the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds?" The beautiful eyes of the young lady flashed with a strange light, as she continued smiling, "From what I know, those who have the qualifications to enter the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds are all here. In that case, what about you? Where did you come from?"
"Chu." Qin Wentian replied. He wanted to see if these people knew of the existence of Chu.
"Chu?" The young lady had a puzzled expression on her face.
"Have you guys heard of it?" She glanced at the others.
Evidently, the Chu Country was a foreign country to them.
"What about the Nine Mystical Palace?" Qin Wentian asked again. The Nine Mystical Palace controlled the Chu Country, and could be considered as a major power.
"You are from the Nine Mystical Palace?" The young lady giggled as she looked at Qin Wentian. "Don't lie to me, people from the Nine Mystical Palace don't have the qualifications to enter the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds."
Qin Wentian felt his heart trembling when he heard the words of the young lady. Even a power like the Nine Mystical Palace didn't have the qualifications to enter the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds. Could it be that the powers these people belonged to were all existences even more tyrannical than the Nine Mystical Palace?
"Why are you talking so much nonsense? Kill him."
At this moment, the demon-like young man who spoke earlier calmly spoke. The gaze he used to look at Qin Wentian was filled with indifference. Although he was somewhat curious and taken aback by Qin Wentian's appearance, since he couldn't get any information out of him, there was no need for him to waste any more time.
As the sound of his voice faded, another young man walked out from behind him. This young man also exuded a demonic aura, and with a single step, he dashed towards Qin Wentian.
"Boom!" A fist light blasted out, and Qin Wentian felt a surge of demonic Qi. It was as though he could see a flood dragon rushing towards him, wanting to devour him whole.
A cold light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes. Lifting his palms, he abruptly blasted out, executing the third stance of the Thousand Hands Imprint, the Forgotten Imprint. The might of his opponent's attack was boundless.
"DIE!" His opponent stabbed out with his left finger, akin to a sharp sword, aiming straight for Qin Wentian's head. The speed of his attack was as fast as lightning.
With a twist of his body, Qin Wentian's footwork was exquisite to the extreme. After evading his opponent's attack, his Falling Mountain Palms ferociously blasted out with the force of Mount Tai.
"ROAR!" His opponent opened his mouth and howled in rage, akin to a flood dragon, causing Qin Wentian's eardrums to vibrate, causing him to feel extremely unbearable.
An intense coldness flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes. His footwork shuddered as his entire person transformed into a Shadow.
As he stabbed out with his finger, his eyes opened and closed, giving his opponent an unblockable feeling. At the same time, his finger was akin to an ancient halberd, instantly piercing through the centre of his opponent's brows, causing his opponent to stiffen in place. After which, he softly slumped to the ground.
The duration of this battle was extremely short. Qin Wentian had killed a person, but the gazes of the spectators didn't change at all. They only had the mentality of watching a good show.
Qin Wentian couldn't be sure if this death was real or fake. But there was no doubt that the corpse was present, and it was even more realistic compared to the Dreamsky Forest. It didn't seem like a dream at all.
Not only that, although he had killed his opponent very quickly, based on his opponent's strength, if he were to participate in the Jun Lin Banquet, he would definitely be able to contend for the top nine rankings.
How could Qin Wentian not be startled when he casually killed his opponent?
"Interesting." The young lady smiled as she saw this scene, as she shifted her gaze onto the demonic young man.
A cold light flickered in the eyes of the demonic young man. Abruptly, his silhouette vanished from his original location. Qin Wentian only felt a demonic light rushing towards him. His opponent stretched out his palms, and in that instant, Qin Wentian felt as though his body was being restricted by an intense demonic light, causing him to be unable to move.
"BREAK!" The Divine Energy on Qin Wentian's body surged as the demonic light destroyed everything in its path. He took a step forward as an intense aura gushed forth.
However, the demonic young man didn't seem to feel anything. His ghost-like silhouette continued nearing, as he gently punched out with his palm.
Qin Wentian blasted out with the Falling Mountain Palms, and the two palms collided. The demonic young man didn't even move a single inch, while Qin Wentian felt a strange energy emanating from his opponent's palm. It was as though a palm imprint had penetrated into his body, wanting to destroy his arterial pathways, and was even moving towards his heart.
"Ignoring my physical attacks and defense." Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened. The Divine Energy within his body surged, as the mountain-type Divine Energy frenziedly defended against the strange energy, finally extinguishing it. However, Qin Wentian groaned in agony as he retreated repeatedly.
Within his body, an unbearable feeling gushed forth. Qin Wentian stared at the demonic young man, only to see that the demonic young man's countenance was as per normal, with no signs of injury at all.
"How powerful." Qin Wentian silently exclaimed in his heart, as he glanced at the people in the surroundings. Were all their strengths so terrifying?
If the demonic young man really came from a power stronger than the Nine Mystical Palace, then it wouldn't be surprising if he was even stronger than Luo Qianqiu.
Upon seeing that Qin Wentian merely groaned in agony, the demonic young man couldn't help but to furrow his brows, as a strange expression appeared on his face.
A cultivator at the 8th level of Arterial Circulation was actually able to receive a palm strike from him without dying. How rare.
His body once again drifted towards Qin Wentian, as he struck out with the same palm imprint. It was as light as a feather, as though there wasn't any force behind it.
An ancient halberd suddenly appeared in Qin Wentian's hands. His footsteps shuddered as he executed the Mountain Splitter stance of the Great Dream Halberd Art, advancing forward with an indomitable will.
The demonic young man abruptly halted his steps, as the ancient halberd swept out with the Mountain Splitter stance, causing his opponent to retreat as a faint killing intent gushed forth from him.
"Scram."
The ancient halberd in Qin Wentian's hands flew out, as the demonic young man dodged to the side. The ancient halberd embedded itself into the ground, but Qin Wentian didn't retrieve it. Instead, he turned and departed.
His silhouette was akin to a Garuda, disappearing with lightning speed. His purpose here was none other than the spirit of the warbeast.
"Nine Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique?" The young lady exclaimed in shock, as the demonic young man's countenance stiffened. Their gazes shifted over at the same time, as they stared at a group of young men standing at the edge of the crowd.
"Are they from your Azure Emperor Palace?" The demonic young man coldly asked.
"No, I don't recognize this person." Someone replied.
"This is too interesting. Other than the Azure Emperor Palace, is there anyone else who has cultivated the Nine Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique?" The crowd mused, feeling that this matter was getting more and more interesting.
