Qin Wentian sped through this space. At this moment, he was in a mountainous region, and he couldn't see anyone.
He really wanted to find someone to understand the situation here, but those people he met earlier seemed to be repelling him. Hence, he wouldn't be able to get any useful information from them.
However, since the Azure Emperor allowed him to come here to retrieve the warbeast spirit, there must be a deeper meaning behind it.
Suddenly, Qin Wentian felt a surge of coldness. Turning his gaze over, he saw a gigantic python.
Not only that, this python had a pair of wings on its back and a horn on its head, giving off an extremely terrifying feeling.
"Dual Winged Horned Python, ranked 360th in the Warbeast Index, and also last." Qin Wentian's gaze froze. He saw a warbeast, and it was actually one of the Warbeast Index's existences. This Spirit Beast Testing Ground was truly a wondrous place.
The body of the Dual Winged Horned Python floated in the air, its eyes filled with malice as it stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian could clearly feel the hatred in its eyes.
There were many demonic beasts in the Nine Heavenly Layers, and these demonic beasts could be found in their original forms. Nobody knew if these demonic beasts first appeared on the Nine Heavenly Layers, or if these demonic beasts first appeared on the Nine Heavenly Layers.
Maybe, those experts at the peak of humanity would be able to unravel the mysteries within.
The wings of the Dual Winged Horned Python flickered as it floated in the air. Its long tongue flicked out, and its gigantic body dashed towards Qin Wentian with terrifying speed.
At this moment, the Dual Winged Horned Python was as terrifying as an enraged dragon.
Qin Wentian's countenance turned heavy, as his aura erupted forth. The Forgotten Imprint of the Thousand Hand Imprint blasted out, colliding with the horn of the Dual Winged Horned Python. The palm imprint was actually shattered into pieces.
The terrifying impact caused Qin Wentian to retreat. This Dual Winged Horned Python was a demonic beast at the peak of the 6th-grade, comparable to a cultivator at the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm.
After Qin Wentian was forced back, the Dual Winged Horned Python didn't stop its actions. Its gigantic tail swept out with terrifying speed.
Qin Wentian stepped out with exquisite steps and used the Ninth Heaven Roc Skill. His speed was as fast as lightning, and he avoided the sweeping tail.
"Pu …" The Double-Winged Horned Python opened its bloody mouth and spat out several earth spears that pierced towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian seemed to have the Shadow of the Roc's wings behind him. He stepped into the void and leaped into the air, dodging the spear and heading straight for the Double-Winged Horned Python.
"Kill!" Qin Wentian spat out a sharp sword, as beams of terrifying sword light slashed outwards. The Double-Winged Horned Python spat out another mouthful of air, and the earth spears appeared once more. Its gigantic body directly smashed towards Qin Wentian. With its terrifying speed, sharp feelers, and its gigantic body, if Qin Wentian were to be struck by its feelers, even if he didn't die, he would be heavily injured.
His Astral Soul erupted forth. The Astral Heavenly Hammer appeared in Qin Wentian's hands as he madly swung it about. The mountain-type Divine Energy within his Stellar Meridians erupted forth as the Astral Heavenly Hammer smashed downwards.
The Double-Winged Horned Python let out a terrifying roar, and the Astral Heavenly Hammer in Qin Wentian's hands was shattered into pieces.
However, this strike had also caused the Double-Winged Horned Python to tremble uncontrollably. Qin Wentian took another step forward, landing on its head. After which, the Falling Mountain Palms frenziedly blasted towards the head of the Double-Winged Horned Python. Thunderous rumbling sounds reverberated through the air as the gigantic body of the Double-Winged Horned Python slammed into the ground. Its body gradually turned illusory.
"Is this the spirit of a warbeast?"
Qin Wentian saw that the body of the Double-Winged Horned Python had actually turned illusory. A whirlpool appeared in his palms as he imprinted it onto the head of the Double-Winged Horned Python. The whirlpool devoured the illusory spirit of the Double-Winged Horned Python as a terrifying demonic Qi gushed forth from Qin Wentian's body. At the same time, a demonic light flickered in his eyes.
"Is this a spirit of consciousness?" After Qin Wentian devoured the spirit of the Double-Winged Horned Python, he could feel the spirit of a warbeast attached to his body. This feeling was extremely intense.
"The Double-Winged Horned Python ranked at the bottom of the Warbeast Index is actually so powerful. How strong would the warbeasts ranked in the top ten be?" Qin Wentian was extremely shocked. Not only that, the Double-Winged Horned Python Astral Soul was condensed from the constellation of the 4th Heavenly Layer. If there was a summoning-type Stellar Martial Cultivator, the strongest Double-Winged Horned Python they could summon would be at the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
And as for this Double-Winged Horned Python, its strength was suppressed to the pinnacle of the Arterial Circulation Realm.
Qin Wentian shifted his gaze, only to see a beautiful silhouette staring at him from afar. Her beautiful eyes flickered, it was none other than the female that had spoken to Qin Wentian earlier.
"Are you really someone from the Nine Mystical Palace?" That beautiful silhouette slowly walked forward, clad in a sky-blue cloak.
"No." Qin Wentian replied, "What about you? Who are you?"
"How laughable. Since you know that this place is the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, you actually don't know who we are?" The young lady stared at Qin Wentian, her tone as cold as ice. "The first batch of people who had the qualifications to enter the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds were the 36 Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. Only the sects and clans they belonged to could enter, and after that, the keys of many of them were either destroyed or snatched away by others. Now, only the nine transcendent powers can enter. You actually don't know who we are?"
"I'm not very familiar with the Grand Xia Empire." Qin Wentian replied. Seems like the Chu Country was really too small.
"What level of power does the Nine Mystical Palace belong to in the Grand Xia Empire?" Qin Wentian inquired.
"The Grand Xia Empire has boundless territories, with millions of cities. Among them, the Nine Continents is the most powerful, and there are several transcendent powers in the Nine Continents. These transcendent powers govern the boundless territories of the Grand Xia Empire." The young lady emotionlessly replied, "The Nine Mystical Palace is one of the transcendent powers in the Qing Continent, and they govern several small countries."
Qin Wentian seriously listened, and combined with the map Mustang gave him, he had a rough understanding of the Grand Xia Empire.
So it turned out that the Chu Country was merely a subsidiary country of one of the transcendent powers in the Qing Continent.
Indeed, in the perspective of the entire Continent, the Chu Country was simply too small.
"The power she belongs to, the Greencloud Pavilion, is also a transcendent power in the Qing Continent. Not only that, when compared to the Nine Mystical Palace, it can only be stronger, not weaker." A voice drifted over from afar. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, only to see a group of silhouettes walking over.
"Yue Qingfeng, are you guys here to reunite?" The young lady smiled as she stared at the newcomers. These people were none other than members of the Azure Emperor Palace.
"Can't I?" Yue Qingfeng laughed, before shifting his gaze onto Qin Wentian, "I know where you came from."
Qin Wentian stared at Yue Qingfeng, as a strange light flickered in his eyes, waiting for Yue Qingfeng to continue.
"A place named the Emperor Star Academy." Yue Qingfeng spoke, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to flicker with a strange light.
"And you are?"
"I'm Yue Qingfeng, a member of the Azure Emperor Palace. You probably don't know who the Azure Emperor is, right? The Azure Emperor's original name is the Azure Emperor, a character from thousands of years ago. He single-handedly created the glory of the Azure Emperor Palace, and was ranked first among the 36 Heavenly Dippers."
Yue Qingfeng spoke, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble.
The Azure Emperor, ranked first among the 36 Heavenly Dippers.
The Azure Emperor was also the founder of the Emperor Star Academy.
"I'm none other than Qin Wentian from the Emperor Star Academy."
Being able to meet someone from the Azure Faction here, Qin Wentian naturally felt a sense of closeness. One could say that the Azure Emperor Palace and the Emperor Star Academy shared the same roots and origins.
"Brother Qin, the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds is extremely dangerous. Why don't we travel together? At least we can take care of each other. What do you think?" Yue Qingfeng straightforwardly spoke.
Qin Wentian nodded his head. He had wanted to find someone to ask about the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds and what was going on.
"Qian Mengyu, do you want to come along?" Yue Qingfeng stared at the young girl as he asked.
"No thanks." The young girl indifferently replied, before turning and departing the area.
"You obtained a beast spirit earlier?" Yue Qingfeng stared at Qin Wentian.
"Yes. What's the use of a beast spirit?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"In the past, there was a supreme existence that sealed the 360 warbeasts in the Warbeast Testing Grounds. The beast spirits here aren't the true bodies of the warbeasts, but rather, the consciousness of the warbeasts. It's rumored that these warbeasts were summoned from the 9 Heavenly Layers, and by seizing those beast spirits, you would be able to easily sense the location of the Astral Souls of the Astral Beasts in the 9 Heavenly Layers."
Yue Qingfeng explained to Qin Wentian, "You should understand that after breaking through from the Arterial Circulation Realm to the Yuanfu Realm, one would be able to condense a 3rd Astral Soul. Generally speaking, one would only be able to condense an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer. For those with exceptional talent, they would be able to condense an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer. However, it's not so easy to find and condense an Astral Soul from the Warbeast Testing Grounds."
"Similar to the effects of Yuan Meteor Stones?" Qin Wentian seemed to have understood.
"The effects are many times stronger compared to Yuan Meteor Stones. For those who could only condense an Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer, their consciousness would only be able to stay in the 4th Heavenly Layer for a short period of time. With the existence of the beast spirits, there's a high possibility that they would be able to condense an extremely powerful Astral Soul from the 3rd Heavenly Layer."
Yue Qingfeng continued to explain. To Stellar Martial Cultivators, the temptation of a beast spirit was extremely great.
"Understood." Qin Wentian nodded his head.
"Brother Qin, you should have seen how powerful the warbeasts are earlier. The true bodies of these warbeasts hate us to the extreme, and they want to devour us whole. Hence, if we were to encounter the top ranked warbeasts, we would be in grave danger. As for the top 10 warbeasts, they are simply invincible existences."
Yue Qingfeng continued, "Hence, we hope that we can gather our strength to deal with the warbeasts together."
"I understand." Qin Wentian nodded his head in agreement. The group of them continued their journey, as they continued their training.
And at this moment, in the Chu Country, there were many shocking news being circulated.
Qin Wu of the Qin Clan had actually escaped from the Black Stronghold. The guards of the Black Stronghold had suffered heavy casualties, causing the entire Royal Capital to tremble.
The Black Stronghold was rumored to be a secret prison, and the security was extremely tight. However, Qin Wu had actually managed to escape unscathed, causing people to feel that there was an undercurrent brewing in the dark.
At the same time, the two famous martial academies of Chu, the Royal Academy and the Godly General Martial Palace, announced their merger.
In this way, there were signs that they were going to contend against the Emperor Star Academy.
And in reality, they were indeed going to contend against the Emperor Star Academy.
