In the Spirit Beasts Grounds, Qin Wentian had slain many demonic beasts and devoured their spirit beasts. But at this moment, his countenance was incomparably heavy.
In front of Qin Wentian, a gigantic demonic beast appeared. This demonic beast's entire body was shrouded in a golden glow and was over four meters tall. Its palms were the size of praying mats, and a single slap from it could kill a human.
The Golden Primal Ape was ranked # 3 in the Warbeast Index, and possessed the Golden Primal Ape Constellation from the 5th Heavenly Layer. Its attack and defense were almost invincible, and what was even more terrifying was that its speed wasn't slow at all.
However, at this moment, the Golden Primal Ape wasn't feeling too good. It unceasingly panted heavily. This puny human in front of it was actually able to injure it.
The blood in Qin Wentian's body surged, and he was as handsome as a demon. His long black hair fluttered in the wind, and with the ancient halberd in his hands, he resembled a demonic god of war, unexcelled in the world.
After breaking through to the 9th level of Arterial Circulation, he had also cultivated the Fiend Transformation Art. His strength was many times stronger compared to the previous time he entered.
"BOOM!" The Golden Primal Ape stomped on the ground, causing cracks to appear on the ground. Its gigantic palms slammed towards Qin Wentian with a force even more violent than a mountain peak.
"Bzzz!" Qin Wentian had the wings of a Garuda on his back, and his speed was as fast as lightning. He didn't retreat, but rather advanced instead. With a howl of rage, he soared into the air as his ancient halberd exploded outwards.
"ROAR!" The Golden Primal Ape howled madly. That thunderous roar caused intense pain in Qin Wentian's eardrums as his mind went numb. Qin Wentian also howled in rage as a palm imprint blasted out towards the Golden Primal Ape. However, the ancient halberd collided with the other palm of the Golden Primal Ape as a terrifying sound echoed out.
A man and a demonic beast clashed once more, causing the earth to crumble and the surrounding beasts to retreat. The frenzied battle continued for an hour. The Golden Primal Ape was riddled with injuries, and Qin Wentian wasn't in a good state either. His internal organs were all shaken, and this was only because he had been using the advantage of the Garuda Movement Technique to evade the attacks.
"Puchi!" Finally seizing an opportunity, Qin Wentian's ancient halberd pierced into the eyes of the golden primal ape. A thunderous roar shook the heavens as the golden primal ape went completely berserk. Qin Wentian retreated, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the golden primal ape finally couldn't hold on any longer and was exhausted to death by Qin Wentian. Naturally, Qin Wentian didn't hesitate to devour the beast spirit.
Qin Wentian was extremely excited as he continued to search for prey in the Spirit Beast Grounds. Finally, he encountered the Crimsonblood Thunder Hawk that was ranked # 5 in the Warbeast Index. Qin Wentian pretended to flee and was even injured by the Crimsonblood Thunder Hawk. Only then did he manage to find an extremely rare opportunity to slay this demonic beast.
After devouring so many beast spirits, the demonic aura exuding from him grew even more intense, especially when he executed the Fiend Transformation Art.
Outside, those from the Emperor Star Academy welcomed the arrival of the experts from the Azure Emperor Palace. However, they didn't know that the purpose of the Azure Emperor Palace wasn't to stroll around, but rather, to understand the entire Emperor Star Academy, and to find out where the Azure Emperor's secret could be hidden.
In the air, a white crane flew over. Mo Qingcheng was here today to deliver medicine to Qin Wentian. Although Qin Wentian had already recovered, and looked no different from an ordinary person, his heart was still injured after all. If he could use medicine to treat his injuries, it would be even more perfect.
"Grandfather." The white crane landed on the ground. Mo Qingcheng couldn't help but have a bewildered expression on her face when she saw Old Gu accompanying a group of people.
She was naturally clear of the status of her grandfather in the Emperor Star Academy, yet he was actually personally receiving these uninvited guests.
"Qingcheng, quickly come and pay your respects to the seniors of the Azure Emperor Palace." Old Gu smiled at Mo Qingcheng, reminding her with his words in case Mo Qingcheng said something inappropriate.
"Azure Emperor Palace." Mo Qingcheng's heart trembled. She had heard of this transcendent power in the outside world.
"Junior Mo Qingcheng pays her respects to the seniors." Mo Qingcheng bowed to the crowd. Those from the Azure Emperor Palace were all contemplating Mo Qingcheng, especially a few youths. Their gazes were filled with passion as they stared at Mo Qingcheng. Who would have thought that there would actually be such a beauty in the small Chu Country? Even in the Azure Continent, there shouldn't be many females who could be compared to her.
"What a beautiful girl, I wonder if she's already married?" A middle-aged man from the Azure Emperor Palace smiled.
"Qingcheng is not 18 yet, I'm not married yet." Old Gu politely replied.
"Haha, it's about time. Mo Qingcheng, how's your cultivation base?" The middle-aged man asked.
"1st level of Yuanfu." Mo Qingcheng was extremely unhappy in her heart, but she still replied.
The eyes of the middle-aged man suddenly lit up. Not even 18 years old, yet already at Yuanfu, not to mention her beauty. Not bad indeed. As he thought of this, he cast a glance at Yue Qingfeng who was standing beside him.
Yue Qingfeng naturally understood the meaning of his father's words, and when he saw Mo Qingcheng's beauty, his heart was stirred as well.
"Miss Qingcheng, my name is Yue Qingfeng."
Yue Qingfeng smiled, exuding a graceful demeanor. Such a scene caused the hearts of those from the Emperor Star Academy to tremble. Old Gu wanted to grant Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian their marriage, but now that Yue Qingfeng had spoken, his intentions were clear.
In the Chu Country, although there were many outstanding geniuses who were secretly in love with Mo Qingcheng, because of her background, if she wasn't willing, who would dare to mention it?
However, Yue Qingfeng was different. He was someone from the Azure Emperor Palace, he naturally wouldn't care about Mo Qingcheng's background.
Mo Qingcheng nodded her head to Yue Qingfeng, but she didn't reply. She silently cursed herself for coming at the wrong time.
"Haha, you juniors should go and have a chat. It's boring to accompany us here." The middle-aged man beside Yue Qingfeng was none other than his father. Yue Qingfeng was naturally more than willing, he stepped forward and smiled at Mo Qingcheng, "Miss Qingcheng, let's go for a walk."
Mo Qingcheng was naturally unwilling in her heart, hence she didn't reply.
"Qingcheng." At this moment, a silhouette walked over. Mo Qingcheng turned, a gentle smile appeared on her face as she winked at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian had already noticed the situation earlier, and when he saw Yue Qingfeng, his heart trembled. He had entered the Spirit Beasts Realm before, and he knew that Yue Qingfeng was someone from the Azure Emperor Palace. And when he saw that Yue Qingfeng seemed to have the intention to woo Mo Qingcheng, this made Qin Wentian feel extremely uncomfortable.
This feeling, Qin Wentian had never felt before.
"Why are you here?" Qin Wentian walked to the side of Mo Qingcheng and stretched out his hands, pulling on Mo Qingcheng's dainty hands. Mo Qingcheng's hands trembled as a hint of shyness flashed in her beautiful eyes. However, she knew Qin Wentian's intentions, hence she allowed him to pull on her hands as she gently smiled, "I'm here to deliver the medicine to you."
Such a scene was witnessed by the others. Those from the Emperor Star Academy were all extremely worried, they didn't expect that the relationship between Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng would be so close. They didn't know if the people from the Azure Emperor Palace would blame them or not.
Yue Qingfeng naturally recognized Qin Wentian as well. His eyes narrowed slightly.
"Wentian, quickly come and pay your respects to the seniors from the Azure Emperor Palace." Old Gu spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded his head, before bowing to those from the Azure Emperor Palace, "Junior Qin Wentian pays his respects to the seniors."
The middle-aged man cast a glance at Qin Wentian, as a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"Let's go." He spoke in a low voice, as he led the crowd past Qin Wentian, completely disregarding Qin Wentian. Earlier, he had wanted to matchmake Yue Qingfeng and Mo Qingcheng, but in the blink of an eye, his mood was ruined by a junior. Naturally, he felt that he had lost a lot of face.
As for Qin Wentian, he was merely a student from the Emperor Star Academy. How could he possibly place him in his eyes?
"Brother Qin, we meet again." Yue Qingfeng spoke in a low voice as he passed by Qin Wentian. After which, his eyes impolitely swept over Mo Qingcheng, causing Qin Wentian to furrow his brows, as a cold glint of light flickered in his eyes.
After the crowd left, Mo Qingcheng rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian. Staring at the hand that was holding hers, she asked, "Are you still not going to let go?"
Feeling that soft and delicate little hand, Qin Wentian couldn't bear to let go. He lightly squeezed her hand, causing Mo Qingcheng's face to redden. Only then did Qin Wentian reluctantly release her hand.
"Lecherous fellow." Mo Qingcheng cursed in a low voice, as she walked forward. However, on her countenance that could topple the world, a light smile could be seen.
Like a shy young maiden, experiencing the first awakening of love.
"I couldn't help myself." Qin Wentian awkwardly smiled, as he scratched his head. The him now was like an ordinary sunny youth. After catching up to Mo Qingcheng, Qin Wentian couldn't help but fall into a daze as he stared at her mischievous countenance. Traces of warmth flowed through his heart.
This kind of feeling was something he had never experienced before. It was a wondrous feeling, a little bit of nervousness, a little bit of warmth.
The people from the Azure Emperor Palace arrived at a great hall. Yue Qingfeng's father, Yue Hanshan, sat on the main seat, and on both sides of him were people from the Azure Emperor Palace.
Those from the Emperor Star Academy were helpless as well. In fact, they had already had contact with the Azure Emperor Palace before. Back then, the matter of Luo Tianya was also resolved by the Azure Emperor Palace. However, the internal structure of the Azure Emperor Palace was also divided into factions, the direct line of descent of the Azure Emperor and the non-direct line of descent. Now, the direct line of descent of the Azure Emperor Palace was getting weaker and weaker, and their authority to speak in the Azure Emperor Palace was gradually lost. Those who came this time around were all from the non-direct line of descent.
Yue Hanshan sat on the main seat, as his sharp gaze swept over the people from the Emperor Star Academy. "From today onwards, the Heavenly Star Pavilion and the Astral River Hall will be temporarily controlled by my Azure Emperor Palace. Qingfeng, you guys go to the Dreamsky Forest to take a look."
The countenances of those from the Emperor Star Academy stiffened. Not long ago, they had just introduced the Azure Emperor Palace to the Azure Emperor Palace.
"Why? Is there a problem?" Yue Hanshan coldly asked upon seeing the frowns on the faces of those from the Emperor Star Academy.
"Nope, I just hope that it won't affect the cultivation of the students of the academy." Old Gu sighed in his heart. The Azure Emperor Palace was too powerful, they couldn't afford to offend them.
"Fine. In addition, you guys bring the people from the Azure Emperor Palace to the other secret locations of the Emperor Star Academy." Yue Hanshan spoke again, and the Emperor Star Academy could only agree.
These people seemed to be searching for something.
"Go on." Yue Hanshan waved his hands, and the people from the Emperor Star Academy departed. Very quickly, only Yue Hanshan, Yue Qingfeng and his son remained.
"Father, is there a possibility that the secret of the Azure Emperor is hidden here?" Yue Qingfeng asked.
Yue Hanshan rubbed the centre of his brows, as he closed his eyes and replied in a low voice, "The Azure Emperor's faction managed to find some notes left behind by the Azure Emperor, revealing that he had visited this place many times before. If we can really find the secret, Qingfeng, your future would be incomparably bright."
Yue Qingfeng's heart trembled. Back then, the Azure Emperor was ranked first among the 36 Heavenly Dippers of Grand Xia. His combat prowess was terrifying, and no matter how talented his opponents were, he was invincible among those of the same level.
This was the ironclad rule of cultivation. The Azure Emperor didn't only have a single Yuanfu.
For Stellar Martial Cultivators, their arterial pathways would transform into whirlpools, and they would only have a single Yuanfu in their bodies.
However, the Azure Emperor had broken this ironclad rule. He had multiple Yuanfu, and every Stellar Martial Cultivator knew what that signified. It signified that he could store Astral Energy several times more than others, and could nurture Astral Novas in different Yuanfu. How could his combat prowess not be terrifying?
