The nine heavenly layers were still as resplendent as ever, towering above the nine heavenly layers.
"Mhm?" At this moment, some experts froze when they saw Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan. They actually managed to exit the Gods Extinction Path. What did they experience in the Gods Extinction Path?
What about the other experts who entered? Why didn't they see them?
Back then, after Qin Wentian and his group entered the Gods Extinction Path, there were some other heavenly deities who entered as well. But now, no one knew where they went. It was said that there were people in the outside world who tried to contact them but there was no reply. Nobody knew what they experienced in the Gods Extinction Path.
Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't explain anything to everyone. He took out his messaging crystal and informed his family that he was safe. After that, he flew towards the nine heavenly layers. He still wanted to probe the secrets of the tiny astral-being. The nine heavenly layers should be the most suitable place for him to do so.
"Grandfather, I'm going to cultivate." Qin Wentian spoke. Ever since he comprehended the dao, he was hunted down by Qin Zheng, Qin Dangtian and the others. After that, he entered the Gods Extinction Path and experienced many years in there. He didn't have time to calm his heart and cultivate. Right now, he needed to stabilize his cultivation base. The secrets of the tiny astral-being were also waiting for him to probe.
As for the Qin Clan, Qin Zheng, Qin Dangtian and the others should be trapped in the Gods Extinction Path now. It was unknown if they would be able to exit or not. But even if they couldn't, the Qin Clan was still around. Back then, the one who gave the order to deal with his father was clearly someone with a higher status compared to Qin Zheng. For example, his father, Qin Ding.
"Go on." Luoshen Chuan knew Qin Wentian's thirst for cultivation now. He nodded his head, the experience this time around caused him to feel some emotions in his heart. Qin Tiangang's strength, as well as the secrets of the Heaven Vault, he also hoped that he could grow stronger. After all, he also had a mission on his shoulders. The Luoshen Clan. Although the Luoshen Clan was now divided, he still hoped that the Luoshen Clan would be able to regain its former glory and stand at the peak of the Desolate Region.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed as he left, heading towards the boundless starry space. In the nine heavenly layers, he didn't head to any of the constellations. Instead, he came to the center of the boundless starry space. He sat cross-legged in the air and closed his eyes, sensing the boundless astral light, channeling the astral light into the tiny astral-being in his sea of consciousness. It has been a very long time since he did this, he didn't probe the secrets of the tiny astral-being.
Back then when his father passed the tiny astral-being to him, his mother was extremely moved. She didn't know if his father had unraveled the secrets of the tiny astral-being back then.
As astral energy was channeled unceasingly into the tiny astral-being, the vast starry space within also seemed to glow a little brighter. However, the tiny astral-being seemed to contain boundless starry space and countless constellations. When astral energy was channeled into it, Qin Wentian discovered that the tiny astral-being was only slowly lighting up. In the past, he used astral energy to light up the tiny astral-being because he wanted to search for the memories left behind by his father. But now, he wanted to probe the secrets of the tiny astral-being.
The tiny astral-being was like a bottomless pit. It greedily absorbed the astral energy endlessly, yet it had no way to fill it up. However, Qin Wentian didn't give up so easily. He continued to draw astral energy into the tiny astral-being. He didn't believe that there wouldn't be any reaction from the tiny astral-being.
Time flowed by day after day. Although it was as dull as before, at the very least, it could be considered as cultivation. Qin Wentian couldn't sense the flow of time as he repeated the process year after year. However, no matter how much effort he put in, it was useless. He felt somewhat powerless and even had thoughts of giving up. If it was in the past, he definitely wouldn't be able to persist for so many years. But now, he was much more patient compared to the past. He had already arrived at a different realm, the highest realm of cultivation.
"If you continue like this, it would only be futile." At this moment, a voice rang out in Qin Wentian's mind, causing Qin Wentian's body to violently tremble. His eyes abruptly opened as a resplendent light shot out. However, there was no one in his surroundings.
"Who is it?" Qin Wentian spoke.
"You have always been trying to sense my secrets, yet you don't even know that I'm talking to you?" That voice rang out once more. Qin Wentian's heart pounded violently. He could sense that the tiny astral-being was currently radiating a faint glow.
"How can this be?" Qin Wentian discovered that the tiny astral-being could actually speak. Could it be like what his grandfather had guessed? This tiny astral-being was actually formed from the soul of an extremely powerful character?
That extremely powerful character might very well be the founder of the Heaven Region, Godking Xi.
"Is this really formed from senior's soul?" Qin Wentian asked.
"What are you talking about?" The other party counter-asked, as though he didn't know what Qin Wentian meant. This caused Qin Wentian to furrow his brows. Could it be that the other party didn't hear the conversation between him and his grandfather?
"Senior didn't exist all along?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Of course not. I merely sealed a strand of my remnant will in here. Now that it has been awakened by you, it appeared." The other party replied. Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. Seems like his hard work through these years was useful. He actually managed to awaken the remnant will the other party left behind.
"Senior, you are?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Who I am isn't important. I'll tell you some things now. Listen carefully." The voice of the other party contained an unquestionable tone. However, Qin Wentian didn't mind it. If his grandfather's guess was correct, this existence who left behind the remnant will might very well be the founder of the Heaven Region, the Godking of the Heaven Region.
"I was born in the immortal realms and cultivated like all other living beings. At the end, I reached the peak of this world and became one of the strongest existences. However, I discovered to my sorrow that I'm still a lowly existence living under the shadow of the nine heavenly layers. Stellar martial cultivators cultivate by borrowing the astral energy from the nine heavenly layers. However, where did these astral energy originate from? Was there a supreme expert who created this astral river, enveloping the nine heavenly layers and becoming the source of our cultivation? "
The other party slowly spoke, as though he was seeking knowledge. When one's cultivation reached the pinnacle, they would want to explore some ultimate secrets. Clearly, this existence was like this. After he grew strong enough, he finally started to explore the nine heavenly layers. In fact, he even suspected if there was a supreme expert who created this world, creating the nine heavenly layers. "Everyone in the world says that humans can triumph over the heavens.
My will is the heavens, representing the heavenly dao. Although it seems that I can be arrogant, so what? Why is the heavenly dao still shrouded by the nine heavenly layers? Since humans can triumph over the heavens, why can't we transcend the nine heavenly layers? Why must we be limited to the cultivation conditions created by the nine heavenly layers? I'm unwilling to accept this, I want to explore the ultimate secrets of cultivation. I came to the nine heavenly layers and even wanted to leave this world. In the boundless universe, are there still other worlds? The thirty-three immortal realms, the millions and millions of particle worlds, the nine heavenly layers, all of them formed this world. But the starry space is boundless, the universe is boundless. Is the world we live in as insignificant as a particle world? "
"I'm unwilling to accept this. I want to transcend this world. I want the nine heavenly layers to no longer be shrouded by the nine heavenly layers and become a part of my cultivation. The pinnacle of the dao should be above the nine heavenly layers." That voice continued, his tone filled with incomparable arrogance. He has already proven his dao but he was still unwilling to accept this. He wanted to transcend, he wanted to walk to the peak, wanting to become the ruler of the nine heavenly layers.
When one reached their cultivation realm, they would naturally have different pursuits. Once, he once met the Godking of Time in the past. Wasn't he also searching and pursuing? He hoped that one day, he would be able to freely traverse the past and the future, becoming the controller of time and space. This was the pursuit of those who stood at the peak.
Power to them, might no longer have much temptation. For example, the mysterious white-robed young man Qin Wentian met in the Tiandao Sacred Academy. If he wanted to establish a power in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, he could easily make it stand at the peak because his personal strength was sufficient to topple everything.
"Ultimately, I'm still a little bit lacking, just a little bit more and I would be able to accomplish it. However, I have no way to cross over. I hope that there will be someone who can cross over and let me see what the scenery is like in that domain. Let me see what the true nine heavenly layers are like. Hence, I used my own body to transform into the Heaven Vault."
Qin Wentian's heart trembled when he heard this voice. Was it really like what his grandfather guessed? The Heaven Vault was actually transformed from a supreme existence. He used his own body to transform into the Heaven Vault, connecting to the nine heavenly layers. What heaven-defying method was this?
"What you have now is formed from my soul. It encompasses the nine heavenly layers. If you want to obtain its secrets, just relying on this alone is far from enough. Unless there comes a day when you can absorb the energy from all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers. At that time, I shall be your final astral soul."
That voice was ethereal and dragged on for a long time before it gradually dissipated, like it had completely vanished. That was only a strand of remnant will that was sealed within the tiny astral-being.
Although that voice disappeared, Qin Wentian's heart was unable to calm down. His heart pounded unceasingly.
One day when he can absorb the energy from all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers, I shall be your final astral soul.
This tiny astral-being would eventually transform into an astral soul, his ultimate astral soul. But the prerequisite was that he had to be able to absorb the energy from all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers. This by itself was already an extremely difficult problem, it was basically impossible to accomplish.
But the goal of that mysterious expert was to surpass the nine heavenly layers. If it wasn't difficult, how could he surpass the nine heavenly layers? Surpassing the nine heavenly layers, truly transcending.
Qin Wentian didn't know if such an existence existed in this world. In that case, that mysterious white-robed young man was able to shatter a constellation with a single finger. Could he have transcended and belonged to such an existence?
Other than him, the Godking of Time whom he met before most probably didn't manage to accomplish this.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes and sank into contemplation. The shock in his heart was unable to calm down even after a long time. Wanting to absorb the energy from all the constellations in the nine heavenly layers? How could this be done?
