In a room within the Emperor Star Academy, several Elders were gathered together, staring at the figure lying on the bed. Traces of worry could be seen in their eyes.
"How is it?" Ren Qianxing anxiously asked as he saw the Elder sitting on the bed turn around.
"Strange, strange. The life force in his heart is extremely vigorous, and there seems to be a special energy in his bloodline, circulating through his heart, allowing his heart to maintain its life force and slowly recover." The Elder murmured in a low voice, as shock could be seen in his eyes. If it was someone else, they would have already died.
Everyone in the room tensed up as they clenched their fists tightly, exhaling a mouthful of turbid air.
"Will his life be in danger?" Ren Qianxing asked.
"He didn't die the instant he was struck. With his vigorous life force, as long as he recuperates properly, he should be able to slowly recover." The Elder spoke again, causing everyone in the room to heave a sigh of relief.
"Wentian." Qin Yao's tears turned into a smile as she sat on the bed, gently stroking Qin Wentian's forehead. Her face was filled with tears, she had almost been scared to death. Qin Wentian had been struck in the heart.
"Everyone, disperse. Temporarily seal the news, and send people to guard this place." Ren Qianxing commanded, as the crowd dispersed. The Elder who was proficient in healing stayed behind, clicking his tongue in wonder in his heart. A cultivator at the Arterial Circulation Realm actually had such a vigorous life force? How strange.
Luo Huan walked to the bed, as a radiant smile appeared on her face. She murmured to herself, "Wentian, Mountain has already left. Don't abandon your Senior Sister as well."
After speaking, she departed. The instant she turned, the smile on her face vanished, replaced by a cold glint of light. The Nine Mystical Palace and the Royal Clan of Chu. The hatred between them grew deeper and deeper.
In the blink of an eye, three days passed. In these three days, the conflict between the Emperor Star Academy and the Royal Clan had completely erupted. They no longer gathered their strength for direct clashes, but instead sent out Yuanfu cultivators to hunt them down. As for the Arterial Circulation Realm cultivator Wu Xiu, he was forbidden from leaving the academy. The moment he stepped out, he would be in danger of death.
Both sides had completely torn apart all pretense of cordiality.
Even Chu Tianjiao didn't dare to casually roam outside. If the Emperor Star Academy went crazy, there was a high possibility that they would assassinate him.
During these three days, there were constant reports of casualties on both sides. In the most disastrous ambush, the Emperor Star Academy was ambushed by experts from the Royal Academy. Fortunately, the experts from the Royal Academy managed to arrive in time to provide reinforcements. In that battle, four Yuanfu Realm cultivators and eight Arterial Circulation Realm cultivators had died. A true storm had already engulfed the entire Royal Capital.
In the Emperor Star Academy, Qin Wentian was still unconscious. Beside him sat two beautiful young ladies.
"Qingcheng, it's been hard on you these few days." Qin Yao stared at the beautiful silhouette sitting opposite her as an expression of gratitude appeared on her face.
"Of course, I'm good at this," Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly at Qin Yao, before continuing to feed Qin Wentian the medicinal soup.
Staring at the side profile of Mo Qingcheng, Qin Yao fell into a daze. Smiling, she replied, "If only you could always take care of him like this."
"Sure, I'll let this dumbo take advantage of me." Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly, before suddenly realizing the meaning of Qin Yao's words. Raising her head, she saw Qin Yao's beautiful eyes blinking, causing Mo Qingcheng to blush. "What I meant was to take care of him until he wakes up."
"Mhm, I know. What else do you mean?" Qin Yao smiled ambiguously, causing Mo Qingcheng to silently curse herself for talking too much.
"I wonder when he will wake up." Qin Yao's countenance was filled with worry.
"Don't worry, he's recovering well." Mo Qingcheng consoled. Actually, she knew that Qin Wentian's injuries were extremely heavy, and he would be unconscious for quite a few days.
"Mhm." Qin Yao lightly nodded her head. "Qingcheng, I'll go see if Father has finished brewing the medicine. I'll bring it over to you later."
After speaking, Qin Yao left. Mo Qingcheng slowly fed the bowl of medicine into Qin Wentian's mouth, before wiping his mouth clean. She then murmured to herself, "Dumbo, this is the second time I've brewed medicine for you. You better get well soon."
Mo Qingcheng propped her chin up with her hands, staring at Qin Wentian in a daze. She didn't expect that the person she had brewed medicine for was Qin Wentian. Maybe this was fate.
Staring at that handsome face, quiet and peaceful, she could still remember the first time she met him. Back then, he was still a young and immature youth. This year, he must have suffered a lot. And now, he almost lost his life. What a dumbo.
As she stared at him, Mo Qingcheng gradually grew more and more infatuated. Stretching out her hands, she pinched Qin Wentian's cheeks as a mischievous expression appeared on her face. This fellow was getting more and more handsome.
Qin Wentian seemed to have felt something. His eyelashes fluttered as he slowly opened his eyes. After which, he saw a flawlessly beautiful face with a panic-stricken expression on it. Her hands were still pinching his cheeks.
"Swish!" Mo Qingcheng retracted her hands with lightning speed. Upon seeing Qin Wentian blinking his eyes, her face instantly turned red. She wanted nothing more than to find a hole in the ground to hide in.
"Let me see if you can feel it. Seems like it's really effective. You've really woken up." Mo Qingcheng pretended to smile. However, Qin Wentian didn't say anything, he only stared at her, causing her face to turn so red that it seemed as though blood would drip out at any moment.
Seeing the shy expression on Mo Qingcheng's face, Qin Wentian felt his heart pounding. The Mo Qingcheng at this moment was too beautiful.
"Come here." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. Mo Qingcheng's eyelashes fluttered as she blinked her eyes. However, she still lowered her head and moved closer to Qin Wentian. Her heart pounded rapidly, this was the first time she felt so nervous.
Only to see Qin Wentian stretching out his hands and pinching her cheeks twice. After which, he smiled, "We're even now."
Mo Qingcheng froze, her face flushed red.
"I'll go get the medicine." Mo Qingcheng ran away with her tail between her legs. Staring at her disappearing silhouette, a radiant smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face as he murmured, "Thank you."
Today, Mo Qingcheng was in a daze. Seeing her embarrassed expression, Qin Wentian would occasionally crack a joke or two. This caused Qin Yao to be extremely happy. It seemed like there really was hope for Qin Wentian and Qingcheng to be together.
For the next few days, Qin Wentian recovered very quickly. On the fifth day, he was already able to cultivate. The tempest in the Royal Capital continued to rage, but the intense battles seemed to be very far away from Qin Wentian.
Mustang, Luo Huan and the rest would occasionally come to visit Qin Wentian, but they didn't inform him of the situation outside. They only told him to focus on his cultivation, and warned him that before he stepped into Yuanfu, he was not allowed to participate in the battles outside. This caused a bitter smile to appear on Qin Wentian's face. It seemed like the Emperor Star Academy was worried that he would be assassinated again, and didn't want him to take any more risks.
Qin Wentian also didn't want to create more trouble for the Emperor Star Academy. He quietly cultivated by himself, and finally, a month after the assassination attempt, Qin Wentian finally broke through to the Arterial Circulation Realm, stepping into the final realm of the Arterial Circulation Realm. He was only a step away from Yuanfu.
After stepping into the 9th level of Arterial Circulation, Qin Wentian cultivated for a few more days, stabilizing his foundation. At the same time, he didn't forget to cultivate his innate techniques.
Currently, Qin Wentian had finally mastered the 4th stance of the Thousand Hands Imprint, the Kuji Imprint. Its might was terrifying, and his Falling Mountain Palms and Berserk Beast Halberd Technique were also perfected.
Today, Qin Wentian once again arrived at the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. Qin Wentian bowed to the old man.
The old man opened his eyes, as a trace of vigor could be seen flickering in his eyes. "Are you confident?"
"Let's give it a try." Qin Wentian replied. The old man nodded his head, and closed his eyes once again. Qin Wentian walked past him, and once again arrived at the unbroken door.
What secrets did this so-called 9th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion contain?
Crashing sounds echoed out as the Divine Energy in Qin Wentian's body boiled. Taking a step forward, he lifted his palms and blasted out a palm imprint the size of a mountain. With a deafening boom, the door trembled, causing the heart of the old man to tremble as well.
Qin Wentian retreated a step, and the Divine Energy in his body continued to surge. He struck out once again, as both the Falling Mountain Palms and the Kuji Imprint simultaneously landed on the door.
"BOOM!" The terrifying rumbling sounds caused the entire Heavenly Star Pavilion to tremble. Many people inclined their heads and stared at the top of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. Who was that?
An ancient halberd appeared in Qin Wentian's hands. Even if a cultivator at the Arterial Circulation Realm were to use a high-grade Divine Weapon, there would still be a limit to its effectiveness. Hence, the old man didn't restrict him from using Divine Weapons to attack.
In that instant, Qin Wentian's blood began to boil. His entire person was akin to a demon as he took a step forward, and the ancient halberd exploded outwards, as though it was the sovereign of the world.
"Pu!" A light sound rang out. The eyes of the old man on the stairs abruptly opened, as a terrifying light flickered within. His heart trembled violently.
Broken, Qin Wentian had broken open that door.
Qin Wentian's heart was filled with excitement as he walked towards the final secret of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. Behind this door, there was only a small space. What made Qin Wentian bewildered was that this space wasn't as mystical as the first and second doors. Instead, there was only an ancient scroll.
Qin Wentian opened the scroll, as an expression of bewilderment appeared on his face. This should be a map.
The final secret of the Heavenly Star Pavilion was actually a map left behind by the Azure Emperor?
Qin Wentian had never left Chu before, so he naturally wouldn't be able to understand the meaning of the map. He could only keep the scroll, and as he walked out, the old man appeared in front of him.
"Senior." Qin Wentian bowed to the old man.
"From today onwards, the 8th and 9th levels of the Heavenly Star Pavilion will no longer exist. The 7th level will be open to the geniuses of the Emperor Star Academy. Everything that you have obtained here, you are not to speak of it to anyone else." The old man instructed.
"Understood." Qin Wentian nodded his head. He understood the logic of 'treasuring a jade ring becomes a crime'.
Qin Wentian didn't leave immediately. He stepped into the first door, and headed towards the Spirit Beast Grounds. However, he didn't meet many people, but instead, he met many demonic beasts.
Qin Wentian didn't know that at this moment, the Emperor Star Academy was in an uproar.
Outside the Emperor Star Academy, a group of Elders and students stood together, as though they were welcoming someone. From afar, a group of silhouettes could be seen riding on powerful demonic beasts. Above them, the silhouettes stopped in the airspace above the Emperor Star Academy. Their gazes were sharp as they stared downwards, as though they were unexcelled in the world.
If Qin Wentian was here, he would have discovered that he was acquainted with one of the youths. It was none other than Yue Qingfeng, whom he had met in the Spirit Beast Grounds.
The Emperor Star Academy had also received the news two days ago that people from the Azure Emperor Palace would descend. As for the reason, the Emperor Star Academy wasn't clear.
Not only the Azure Emperor Palace, there were also many experts descending on Chu today, insufferably arrogant.
Xiao Lan, who was in the Royal Palace, had his brows furrowed. He didn't expect that the news would still leak out. Back then, the Azure Emperor had come to Chu several times, hiding his greatest secret there.
If this secret were to be exposed, not to mention a small country like Chu, even the entire Grand Xia would be shaken.
