Yi Xiang stared at Qin Wentian as he stated, "Brother Qin, although the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Azure Emperor Palace are both located in the Azure Continent, the two of them are not on the same level. The Ouyang Aristocrat Clan can be ranked amongst the top few in the Nine Continents, and Brother Ouyang is one of the most outstanding geniuses of the younger generation in the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. You have twin martial spirits and condensed an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer."
Qin Wentian's heart pounded as he glanced at Ouyang Kuangsheng. Twin martial spirits condensed from an Astral Soul from the 4th Heavenly Layer, this was definitely an extremely rare character. Seems like the Nine Continents was indeed a place with crouching tigers and hidden dragons.
"Stop sucking up to me. You're already so old and you haven't even broken through to Yuanfu yet. What's there to brag about?" Ouyang Kuangsheng spoke in a heroic tone, as though he didn't care about it at all.
Yi Xiang smiled shakily. There was a hint of flattery in his tone.
"Brother Qin, although you don't have much hope of obtaining the chance to bathe in the celestial pool, you can still broaden your horizons and broaden your horizons." Yi Xiang continued chatting with Qin Wentian, boasting to show how knowledgeable he was. Seeing that Qin Wentian was seriously listening, he felt even more complacent.
After chatting for quite some time, Qin Wentian returned to his room, his heart still filled with worries about the matters in Chu.
Compared to these geniuses in the outside world, the geniuses of Chu were undoubtedly much more inferior. But now, he couldn't even settle the matters in Chu. Although the Azure Emperor had given him the map and he had found this place, he still had no idea where to go. He could only take things one step at a time.
"What are you thinking about?" Mo Qingcheng walked in. Upon seeing Mo Qingcheng's strange appearance, Qin Wentian couldn't help but laugh, causing Mo Qingcheng to glare at him.
"I'm thinking, if your clan knew that I kidnapped you here, would they come looking for me?" Qin Wentian gently spoke.
"Hmph, in that case, you can take responsibility." Mo Qingcheng laughed.
"Take responsibility?" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a bright light as he stared at Mo Qingcheng. This caused Mo Qingcheng's face to instantly turn red. "You bastard."
After speaking, he slipped away with his tail between his legs, causing Qin Wentian to laugh in joy.
For the next few days, there would be people arriving daily. Qin Wentian leaned on the balcony and gazed downwards, only to see two groups of silhouettes walking by. The person in the lead was a beautiful lady, and when Qin Wentian saw her, he froze for a moment before smiling and calling out, "Qian Mengyu."
Qian Mengyu inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian, as an expression of bewilderment appeared on her face. After exiting the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds, she had already sent people to gather information about Qin Wentian. She knew that in the Chu Country under the control of the Nine Mystical Palace, there was indeed a person named Qin Wentian.
"Why are you here as well?" Qian Mengyu smiled. A place like Chu actually knew of the existence of the Celestial Lake Palace?
"Same as you." Qin Wentian laughed. Being able to meet Qian Wentian here could be considered fate. Hence, Qin Wentian no longer had the coldness he had when they were in the Spirit Beasts Domain. After all, Qian Wentian had helped him once, and in addition to the Nine Swords of Life, he believed that there was a possibility that Qian Wentian would have some sort of relationship with Qian Wentian.
"I'll be staying here." Qian Wentian pointed to a building beside Qin Wentian as she walked up to the second level of the building.
"This time around, there are quite a number of people from my Greencloud Pavilion. The test of the Celestial Lake Palace is extremely dangerous. Why don't you come with us? We can take care of each other." Qian Wentian said to Qin Wentian. In her heart, she wanted to help Qin Wentian. This fellow didn't have any backing, and if he came here alone, he would definitely be in danger. Since she had already met him, she might as well help him out.
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded his head, he didn't think too much about it. He turned to Qian Wentian and asked, "There's something I want to ask you. Is the Nine Swords of Life an innate technique unique to your Greencloud Pavilion?"
"You can say that." Qian Wentian nodded her head. "This sword art has many variations, and it's filled with the intent of endlessness. I'm only proficient in the slightest bit of it, but back then, my aunt had already cultivated it to an extremely high level. She was even able to unleash the power of the Divine Inscriptions within the nine swords of life, causing the might of the nine swords to be even more powerful."
"Aunt." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Could it be that this was the lover of Senior Gáng Hong?
Weren't those four Divine Inscription paintings carved by Gáng Hong's lover?!
"What's wrong? Do you also cultivate sword arts?" Qian Wentian laughed.
"Nope, I'm just casually asking. Your aunt must be extremely powerful, right?" Qin Wentian replied.
"En, not only is my aunt beautiful, her talent is extremely high as well. There are countless suitors chasing after her, but my aunt is trapped by love." Qian Wentian sighed, but soon after, she froze. Why was she telling this to Qin Wentian?
Seeing the gentle smile on Qin Wentian's face, Qian Wentian could only smile bitterly in her heart. She turned and left. Although this young man's talent wasn't bad, if he truly liked her, she would definitely not agree to his request. Since they had met here, there was no harm in helping him out.
Qin Wentian didn't know what Qian Wentian was thinking about. He turned back, only to see Mo Qingcheng quietly sitting there.
"I've met her once before. She might have some sort of connection with Senior Gáng Hong." Qin Wentian spoke to Mo Qingcheng. Mo Qingcheng inclined her head and looked at him, as a light smile appeared on her face. It was extremely moving.
Qin Wentian retrieved one of the four Divine Inscriptions Gáng Hong had given him. It was none other than the Nine Swords of Life. After which, his heart trembled. This Divine Inscription was only a type of concept, but if it was an offensive Divine Inscription, it wouldn't be like this. Qin Wentian had once obtained the memories of Divine Inscriptions, and he knew that there were some extremely complicated third-ranked Divine Inscriptions. If he could use them to attack, wouldn't the might be extremely tyrannical?
From Qin Wentian's understanding, Divine Inscriptions and innate techniques had some similarities.
Qin Wentian's eyes gradually brightened, but he soon frowned. If he wanted to use third-ranked Divine Inscriptions to attack, although the might of the attack would be extremely powerful, it would require a huge amount of Divine Energy. Before he stepped into Yuanfu, he wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack.
A gentle smile appeared on Mo Qingcheng's face when she saw the serious expression on Qin Wentian's face. What was this fellow thinking about? Why was he so engrossed in his thoughts?
"For the fist attacks of the Astral River Hall, I've comprehended the Great Dream Halberd Art's Fallen Star Stance. However, if I use my Sword-type Divine Energy to attack …" Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with sharpness. If he could use his Sword-type Divine Energy, he wouldn't be invincible even if he was at Yuanfu.
Inclining his head, Qin Wentian saw Mo Qingcheng smiling at him. Her beautiful eyes contained traces of gentleness, causing Qin Wentian to feel warmth in his heart. Suddenly, an impulse welled up in his heart.
"What are you thinking about?" Mo Qingcheng still hadn't discovered the strange look on Qin Wentian's face. As the sound of her voice faded, Qin Wentian hugged her and planted a kiss on her flawless face, causing Mo Qingcheng to feel as though she had been struck by lightning. Her beautiful eyes widened in shock.
Qin Wentian stood up and slipped away. Only now did Mo Qingcheng react. Her face instantly turned red, and as she stared at the fleeing Qin Wentian, she couldn't help but giggle, her beauty was indescribable.
Qin Wentian returned to his own room and didn't come out. Mo Qingcheng would occasionally go to look for him, only to see him meditating with his eyes closed.
At this moment, within Qin Wentian's body, the Astral Energy unceasingly converged, condensing into numerous sword-type Divine Energy swords that were incomparably sharp.
The attacks of swords were extremely sharp, and if his body was filled with Sword-type Divine Energy, his attacks would definitely rise to another level. However, this was somewhat extravagant. Luckily, he didn't lack Yuan Meteor Stones.
Other than this, he would also create dreams for himself, and practice in his dreams, testing out the results of his cultivation.
Today, the people from the Celestial Lake Palace came over, and extended an invitation to them. Everyone exited the pavilion and walked along the long corridor, heading towards the direction of the Celestial Lake Palace.
"So many people." Qin Wentian glanced at the silhouettes walking along the corridor. There were at least a few hundred of them.
"This is already considered a small number. The Grand Xia Empire is so vast, and the temptation of the Celestial Lake Palace to cultivators at the 9th level of Arterial Circulation is exceedingly great. Even those from major clans would come here. Firstly, to bathe in the celestial lake, and secondly, to temper themselves," Qian Mengyu explained in a low voice.
"Everyone can come? The Celestial Lake Palace doesn't reject anyone?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"Yes, this was a promise made by Fairy Qingmei back then. There's no need for her to obstruct those who come. However, those who are too weak wouldn't dare to come. They wouldn't even know how they died," Qian Mengyu explained. Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng both nodded their heads.
At this moment, Mo Qingcheng had dressed herself up again. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, not only did she disguise herself as a male, she even smeared some unknown makeup on her face, making her look even more grotesque. However, she managed to conceal her breathtaking beauty well.
The female beside Ouyang Kuangsheng, as well as Qian Mengyu, were also extremely beautiful. Although they couldn't be compared to Mo Qingcheng, they could still be considered rare beauties. However, there was no need for them to conceal their beauty, because they weren't afraid of trouble.
The people from the Celestial Lake Palace led the crowd to a great hall. This great hall was extremely beautiful, and the ceiling of the great hall was like a starry sky, with numerous gigantic stone pillars erected at the top.
The female cultivators in this great hall were all rare beauties.
The crowd gathered in the great hall, and in front of them, there was an Astral Lake. This lake was extremely beautiful, as though it was reflecting the light of the stars.
"So this is the entrance to the celestial lake? What a mystical place indeed. I wonder how much Astral Energy is contained within a real celestial lake." Many people exclaimed in their hearts.
At the front of the great hall, a beautiful middle-aged woman sat on a Astral Throne, smiling at the crowd.
"We pay our respects to the Palace Mistress." The crowd bowed in unison, showing their respect. The gazes of many turned to the female cultivator beside the beautiful middle-aged woman, their eyes filled with unmasked admiration.
She was too beautiful, out of this world, without a trace of mortal air. Just by standing there, she caused people to feel ashamed of their inferiority.
Many of the female cultivators in the crowd felt that they had lost their luster. Mo Qingcheng's eyes flickered as she exclaimed, "How beautiful."
"I've finally found a woman who can be compared to you." Qin Wentian whispered in Mo Qingcheng's ears, causing Mo Qingcheng to roll her eyes. "But she looks so cold."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian lightly nodded his head. That female cultivator stood there, giving off a feeling of coldness, as though it was difficult to get close to her.
