Qin Wentian frantically inscribed divine inscriptions. Finally, the resplendent divine inscriptions lit up, transforming into a gigantic eight trigrams diagram.
This eight trigrams diagram enveloped this entire space, emitting a strange light. The squirming runes on the ground seemed to have been sealed, and the destructive energy gushing forth from them seemed to have weakened greatly. Inclining their heads, they stared at the surroundings, only to see the raging winds howling as the cracks in the earth closed up again and again.
After a period of time, the destructive energy finally calmed down. Finally, the crowd could see their surroundings clearly.
Their bodies were still at their original location, and the constellations in the air were still there. However, this place was no longer the ancient city, but a true cultivation ground instead.
"What a terrifying grand formation." Qin Wentian's heart trembled. This entire space had been transformed. Everything in the past was just a facade.
The cultivation ground was extremely vast, and at the very front, there was a gate. This gate was transparent, and one could clearly see the situation in the distance.
Over there, there were ancient pine trees and ancient peaks, exuding a sense of tranquility. A great hall could be seen there, and within the great hall, a statue could be seen. This statue was seated cross-legged, as though it had already passed away. In its hands, there was an ancient scroll.
"Ascendant!"
Rays of sharpness gleamed in the eyes of the crowd. This place, was the true cultivation ground of an Ascendant. One person died in exchange for the appearance of an Ascendant. It was worth it, too worth it.
The people from the various camps exchanged mutual glances, their eyes filled with wariness and suspicion. Next, they would have to see who would be the first to obtain the treasure left behind by the Ascendant.
"Bzzz, bzzz!" Gusts of wind gusted by as several silhouettes dashed out, rushing towards the gate. However, just as they took a few steps, the ground suddenly lit up.
"Careful, there's a trap!" A person shouted. However, it was already too late. Those who dashed out were instantly enveloped by the flowing runes. Terrifying blades suddenly shot out from the ground, and one of them didn't pay attention to the ground. His body was directly penetrated through, and his death was too horrible to look at.
There was another person who suffered an attack from a vicious dragon. Suddenly, a few vicious dragons appeared from the ground and lunged towards that person. That person's Astral Soul instantly erupted forth as he stabbed out with his finger, transforming into a terrifying blood-colored finger. The entire space around him was illuminated by a terrifying blood-colored light as the body of the vicious dragon in front of him exploded. After which, sounds of crashing rang out as the dragon transformed into a rain of blood.
At the same time, his left palm blasted out with a speed as fast as lightning. He didn't forget to rush forward, but the runes on the ground continued to shine brightly. A few terrifying arrows shot out like golden lightning, and there were also tentacles emerging from the ground, wrapping around his legs. A look of extreme fear appeared in the eyes of that person, and after that, he was devoured and killed.
Those who rushed out were all dead. Their cultivation bases were all at the ninth level of Yuanfu, and their Mandates were all extremely powerful.
"One step, one kill!"
The hearts of the spectators trembled. They had personally witnessed the deaths of those people, yet they didn't dare to step out to save them. In fact, they didn't even dare to casually move their feet. The slightest movement might trigger a destructive attack from the Divine Inscriptions.
"This is even more dangerous compared to the previous trials." It was none other than an old man from the Pill Emperor Hall. He then continued, "Back then, I was here as well. There are many traps in the ancient city, but not all of them are at the peak of the third-ranked. We can see the silhouettes of the Ascendant, yet every step we take is filled with killing intent. I absolutely believe that this is the true Dao Cultivation Grounds of an Ascendant."
The spectators nodded in agreement. This was much more dangerous compared to the previous trials.
"One step, one kill. Although it's so close, it feels like it's so far away. It's as difficult as ascending to the heavens."
"Is there any solution?" Zhao Lie from the Skyember Sect asked in a loud voice. Earlier, he had almost stepped out. He was wondering if he would be able to defend against those destructive attacks if he stepped out.
"In the past, there were only two ways to deal with divine inscriptions. First, use your overwhelming strength to force your way through. Second, use a Divine Inscriptionist to decipher the traps step by step. But now, regardless of which method we use, the difficulty is much higher compared to before. The danger is ten times, a hundred times greater."
The old man who had stepped into the Dao Cultivation Grounds before spoke, his words causing the countenances of the spectators to turn heavy. Since this was the case, nobody dared to barge in recklessly.
"Esteemed Grandmasters, it's time for you all to perform." At this moment, an old man from the Skyember Sect spoke, his words causing the countenances of the Divine Inscriptionists to change. Such a scene was something they didn't wish to see.
"We need some time to sense it," the Divine Inscriptionist from the Skyember Sect replied.
"Right."
The representatives of the various powers were all conversing with the Divine Inscriptionists. Over at the Star-Seizing Manor, Qin Wentian and the rest were standing within a sealing formation, isolated from the rest of the world. They were the ones who were the least affected by the tempest earlier. Yang Fan and the rest turned their gazes onto Qin Wentian. Yang Fan spoke, "The White Deer Institute obtained first place in the exchange. Now, we need all of you to contribute."
"I'll do my best." Qin Wentian looked at Yang Fan as he replied. Yang Fan lightly nodded his head, before turning his gaze onto the three elders of the Li Clan and the young man from the Demon Cult. "Whoever has a solution to this trap, the Star-Seizing Manor will reward you handsomely."
The few of them nodded their heads, their hearts were as clear as a mirror. Qin Wentian was very polite when he needed to make use of them.
Qin Wentian closed his eyes, quietly sensing everything in this space. Although some of the divine inscriptions were extremely profound and profound, he could still sense them. Back then when Grandmaster Fenrir asked them to locate the divine inscriptions, it was the same for him. However, the divine inscriptions here were clearly incomparable to the ones Grandmaster Fenrir had given them back then.
Releasing his heart sense, Qin Wentian's heart pounded violently. He saw a terrifying scene before him.
Every step was filled with killing intent, and every step was filled with offensive Divine Inscriptions. All of them were third-ranked Divine Inscriptions.
If that was the case, it wouldn't be a problem for the Grandmasters here today. They would still be able to decipher the divine inscriptions. What truly shocked Qin Wentian was that these divine inscriptions were all interlinked with each other. Even if one destroyed a segment, it wouldn't affect the other segments of the divine inscriptions in the surroundings. These divine inscriptions weren't individual divine inscriptions, but rather, they were a complete entity.
The divine inscriptions in this entire space were a single entity, and the slightest change would affect the rest.
If he walked out, he could slowly decipher the divine inscriptions. But while he was deciphering the divine inscriptions, the Grandmaster would have already been killed by the other divine inscriptions. How could he continue?
Although the perception of the other Grandmasters couldn't be compared to Qin Wentian, after some time, their countenances gradually changed. One of them spoke, "There's no way to decipher the divine inscriptions."
"No way to decipher it?" The countenances of many sank. If there was no way to decipher the divine inscriptions, they could only force their way through. They had already seen the ending of those who tried to decipher the divine inscriptions, all of them died.
Zhu Sha turned his gaze onto Qin Wentian, only to see Qin Wentian opening his eyes. "Your perception of divine inscriptions is the strongest here, how long do you need to decipher it?"
"Very difficult, I have no confidence." Qin Wentian replied. Zhu Sha frowned, "I'll give you seven days."
After speaking, he closed his eyes.
Seven days, to him, was already a very long time.
If Qin Wentian couldn't decipher the divine inscriptions, he could only force his way through.
A cold light flashed in Qin Wentian's eyes, but he didn't say anything as he continued to comprehend the divine inscriptions.
Leaving aside the Star-Seizing Manor, if he wanted to continue forward, he would have to decipher the divine inscriptions first.
No matter how difficult it was, he had to do it.
Time flowed by, nobody dared to make any reckless moves. Qin Wentian didn't try to decipher the divine inscriptions one by one. He wanted to imprint the complete picture of this entire space into his mind.
He believed that if he studied the divine inscriptions one by one, it would be impossible to decipher the divine inscriptions one by one. In that case, there was only one path left.
In Qin Wentian's perception, the picture in his mind gradually grew clearer and clearer, becoming more and more complete.
When he focused his attention on the picture, Qin Wentian's heart involuntarily trembled.
He saw a terrifying divine eagle. This divine eagle wanted to spread its wings and soar into the sky, rushing straight into the nine heavens, soaring straight into the sky.
It inclined its head, its eyes gleaming with sharpness, as though it was filled with unwillingness. Because it couldn't soar into the skies, it couldn't do it.
Above it, there was a silhouette stomping down on the ground, suppressing it. It wanted to soar into the skies, yet it couldn't. Hence, its baleful aura towered up into the skies, wanting to kill all those who obstructed it. Those who trampled on it, all had to die.
Such an intent caused Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. His eyes opened as he stared at the blurry silhouette in the air.
Under the suppression of an Ascendant, the divine eagle couldn't soar into the skies. How could they break it?
Not only was the divine eagle suppressed, they were also unable to soar into the skies, unable to traverse through space.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Still, not a single person moved.
"Esteemed Grandmasters, is there still no way to decipher it?" Zhao Lie's personality was more hot-tempered. During these few days, he would ask the same question every day, but the answer he got was always a negative one.
"This old man is useless, I have no way to decipher it." An old man faintly spoke.
"Since we can't decipher it, we can only barge our way through?" Zhao Lie asked.
"Yes." That old man nodded.
"Fine. Now, go and barge your way through." Zhao Lie spoke to the old man, his tone extremely unfriendly, causing the old man to furrow his brows. "This old man's strength is insufficient, I'm afraid I won't be able to barge through."
"Since this is the case, what's the point of having you around?"
Terrifying flames erupted from Zhao Lie's body. Abruptly, he slashed out with his palms as a fiery saber light flashed. The terrifying heat of the saber light sliced through the air, directly cleaving the body of the old man into two halves.
This scene stunned the other Divine Inscriptionists present.
Only to see Zhao Lie turning his gaze onto the others as he icily asked, "Are you guys unable to decipher it as well?"
The countenances of the other Divine Inscriptionists turned incredibly unsightly as they replied, "Let's try."
"Mhm." Zhao Lie nodded his head as he continued, "Shouldn't the Divine Inscriptionists you guys have invited act as well?"
Those from the Pill Emperor Hall, Hua Clan and Star-Seizing Manor all turned their gazes onto the Divine Inscriptionists of their respective camps.
Only to see Zhu Sha's gaze shifting onto Qin Wentian as he stated, "The seven days are up."
Qin Wentian opened his eyes, "I still need more time."
"There's no more time. I've said it before, if we can't decipher it after seven days, we can only barge our way through." Zhu Sha faintly stated, "You've also seen the situation in the Skyember Sect."
Zhu Sha didn't continue speaking, but everyone understood.
