The spectators watched as Qin Wentian walked down the steps, their hearts trembling. Without the Heavenly Stele Platform, could it still be called the Heavenly Stele Platform?
The Heavenly Stele was actually given to Qin Wentian.
Naturally, the people here had no idea what these three Heavenly Steles were. If not, a terrifying storm would surely erupt.
The Divine Stele, in its name, bore witness to the rise and fall of Ancient Grand Xia. Once, countless heroes of Ancient Grand Xia had been baptized by it.
The Divine Stele was like an ancient mirror, a scroll of history. On it, the nine ultimate arts of Ancient Grand Xia were inscribed. But now, the nine ultimate arts had split into nine, no longer intersecting with each other.
If Qin Wentian had a deeper understanding of the history of Ancient Grand Xia, he would have known that there were some transcendent powers in the Grand Xia Empire whose ultimate arts were none other than the nine ultimate arts inscribed on the Divine Stele of Ancient Grand Xia.
However, although they were still powerful, they no longer had the glory of the past.
The Ancient Grand Xia of the past was many times stronger compared to the current Ancient Grand Xia. One could say that even if all the transcendent powers in the nine continents joined forces, they still wouldn't be as strong as the Ancient Grand Xia of the past. If not, how could the Ancient Grand Xia have been able to unify the world?
Behind Qin Wentian, the old man was sweeping the stairs once more. Maybe, this would be the last time he would sweep the stairs.
"Boss, can you lend me the Heavenly Stele to play with for two days?" Fan Le narrowed his eyes as he watched Qin Wentian walk over. That powerful Heavenly Stele actually became Qin Wentian's possession. How interesting.
Qin Wentian glared at Fan Le as he walked to the side of Chu Mang and the rest. Glancing at them, he could see that their strength had all improved. This trip to the Heavenly Stele Steps had been extremely fruitful.
Shifting his gaze over, Qin Wentian glanced at Situ Po, Yue Bingying and the rest. Situ Po was also looking at him as he calmly stated, "Let's meet again in Ginkou."
As the sound of his voice faded, he left with Yue Bingying. Looking into his eyes, Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with a cold light.
Situ Po's killing intent was still as strong as ever. In that case, let's meet again in Ginkou. Most likely, the people here would all be heading to Ginkou soon. It wasn't too long until the end of the year.
"Xuan Xin, let's go back." Those from the Mystic Maiden Palace also prepared to depart. Xuan Xin's beautiful eyes turned to Fan Le as she smiled, "Will you be heading to Ginkou?"
"Right." Fan Le nodded his head.
"In that case, let's meet again in the Ginkou Continent." Xuan Xin smiled sweetly. After that, she left with Xuan Yan and the others from the Mystic Maiden Palace.
Fan Le laughed in a silly manner as he scratched his head. Qin Wentian couldn't help but perspire in his heart when he saw this scene. Spring had arrived for Fatty, he had turned silly.
Not far away, that white-robed figure was also preparing to depart, only to hear Qin Wentian calling out, "Yun Mengyi."
Yun Mengyi halted her steps. Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered, appearing beside her as he spoke, "I have something to ask you."
After speaking, he pulled on Yun Mengyi's arm and led her away. Maybe Yun Mengyi knew some of the mysteries in his heart.
Yun Mengyi furrowed her brows, but when she thought of that person, she relaxed and allowed Qin Wentian to pull her away. This scene caused both Ouyang Kuangsheng and Fan Le to be taken aback.
"Too ferocious."
"Mhm, very ferocious." Ouyang Kuangsheng nodded his head. Yun Mengyi was as cold as ice. Qin Wentian actually dragged her away to be alone?
Qin Wentian walked together with Yun Mengyi as he asked, "Who are you?"
Yun Mengyi stared at him as she replied in a cold voice, "Yun Mengyi."
"You already knew who I was the moment I stepped into the Unmatched Realm?" Qin Wentian stared into Yun Mengyi's eyes. Yun Mengyi flung his hand away as she replied, "I'm Xia Tianyu."
Qin Wentian's countenance stiffened as he stared fixedly at her. "Impossible."
"You don't believe me?" Yun Mengyi stared at Qin Wentian as a strange smile flickered in her eyes. "Do you believe that I'm your elder sister?"
Qin Wentian didn't reply. The current Yun Mengyi gave him a strange feeling. That smile of hers was extremely foreign.
Her words had no credibility at all. Only she herself would know whether she was telling the truth or not.
"I don't believe you." Qin Wentian replied.
"Since that's the case, why do you still need to ask me? After you arrive at Ginkou, I will look for you." After speaking, Yun Mengyi slowly walked away. The aura she exuded was still as cold as ever, nobody could guess what she was thinking.
"Hu …" Qin Wentian exhaled, he still couldn't see through her. Back then, the person his old fogey father brought out from Grand Xia, was it Yun Mengyi?
What was the relationship between Yun Mengyi and Xia Tianyu?
Why did the Divine Stele end up in his hands? Was it really because he walked in front of the Heavenly Stele and obtained the recognition of that old man?
That old man himself was a terrifying character. If not, he wouldn't have been able to withstand the pressure from the Divine Stele. And now, he said that he was obeying the orders of his master. What sort of character was his master?
"What's wrong?" Ouyang Kuangsheng and the rest walked over when they saw Qin Wentian standing there in a daze. Little Rascal also leapt into Qin Wentian's embrace, rubbing its head against his chest.
"Nothing." Qin Wentian shook his head. Even he himself wasn't clear about his origins, there was no point in explaining it. He didn't know if this trip to the Ancient Kingdom would be able to unravel the mystery behind it.
"We're almost there, it's about time for us to head to Ginkou. I'm afraid that those from the Azure Continent will also be heading there soon. Ginkou is now bustling with activity. "Ouyang Kuangsheng laughed, his heart filled with anticipation. Who knew how many geniuses would be gathered for this trip to the Ancient Capital once every three years?
"It's about time, there's only a few more months left." Qin Wentian felt a sense of urgency in his heart. Although his strength had improved tremendously in this year, it was still impossible for him to become one of the top three rankers of the Heavenly Fate Rankings.
The top three rankers were the strongest among the countless peak Yuanfu cultivators. Their Mandates had already reached the Perfection Boundary, and their innate techniques and cultivation arts were all top-notch as well. Not only that, there might even be some who had comprehended a second level Mandate.
"Let's make a trip back to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan first. I'm afraid there will be many from the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan heading there." Ouyang Kuangsheng spoke. Qin Wentian naturally didn't have any objections, and accompanied Ouyang Kuangsheng back to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan.
After Ouyang Kuangsheng reported the situation to his superiors, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan issued an order. Seven days later, those who had the qualifications to participate in the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings would all be sent to Ginkou.
At this moment, in Ouyang Kuangsheng's residence, a three-sided Heavenly Stele floated in the air. Qin Wentian, Fan Le, Chu Mang and Ouyang Kuangsheng were all below the Heavenly Stele, sensing the ancient will within.
"Force, use my strength to attack my body." Qin Wentian's body rushed towards the Heavenly Stele in the air. Currently, he could already confirm that the three-sided Heavenly Stele contained an ancient will, and could unleash and retract its attacks as he wished.
"Just a little bit more, I can still withstand even more force." Qin Wentian took a step forward in the air, as thunderous rumbling sounds echoed out. The terrifying force blasted against his body, causing him to spit out fresh blood. Yet in his eyes, a resolute determination could be seen.
With the presence of the three-sided Heavenly Stele, how could they waste any more time? They could feel the pressure and break through their limits.
Back then, the Divine Stele was used to baptize the members of the Royal Clan of Grand Xia. But now, it was being used by Qin Wentian to break through his limits.
Ouyang Kuangsheng, Fan Le and the rest were all immersed in the torment of the Divine Stele. Although the pain was excruciating, they could feel their strength and willpower changing little by little.
In the blink of an eye, seven days passed. Today, the members of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan gathered in the vast Dao Cultivation Grounds. Over here, there were powerful ancient demonic mounts escorting them as they headed towards Ginkou.
Qin Wentian swept his gaze over the crowd. In the vast Dao Cultivation Grounds, there were at least a few hundred people with a cultivation base at the ninth level of Yuanfu.
The number of people in an aristocratic family was innumerable, and there would be no lack of people of any cultivation realm. Of course, the majority of these several hundred people were probably cannon fodder, but one could imagine how many people would descend on Ginkou this time around.
"Let's move out." The clan lord of the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan personally came to send them off. Although the Yuanfu Realm was only the strength of the younger generations of an aristocrat clan, those who had undergone the baptism and performed outstandingly would all become the core members of their clan in the future.
In the airspace above the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, demonic qi towered up into the skies as the ancient demonic beasts soared through the air, flying towards the central region of Grand Xia.
… …
In the Nine Continents of Grand Xia, Ginkou, Moon Continent and War Continent were the three ancient cities that formed a triangular formation, located in the central region of Grand Xia.
Among them, Ginkou was the most powerful. It was the true central region of Grand Xia. Even the countries surrounding Ginkou were extremely powerful, with experts as common as the clouds.
Although the Ancient Kingdom was destroyed, the Ancient Capital was still the most flourishing city in the Nine Continents. This city had witnessed the rise and fall of Grand Xia's history. In Ginkou, the demonic beasts howled unceasingly as experts soared through the air. It was as though there was no end to their numbers.
These experts were either alone or in groups of three to five, chatting freely in the air as they stared at the ancient city, their hearts surging with passion.
And as for those below, when they stared at the skies, their hearts were similarly stirred.
At this moment, in the air, a group of sword cultivators could be seen soaring through the skies. They were all clad in white, resembling supreme sword immortals, exuding an awe-inspiring aura.
"Those should be the Swallow Swordsmen. They're all sword cultivators from the Yan Continent. Their robes are clean and simple."
"There are so many demonic beasts over there. Are they from the transcendent powers of the Demon Continent? Is it the Skydemon Sect or the Beast King Hall?"
"Who are those people? What a powerful formation, they're definitely from a transcendent power." The gazes of those in the crowd turned to a certain direction, where many people could be seen.
Only to see a silhouette standing there proudly, as though he could be found in the crowd with a single glance.
"That's Hua Taixu, I've seen him before. He's the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Hua Taixu. But now that he's already broken through to Heavenly Dipper, he shouldn't be participating in the ranking battle this time around. But even so, he's still a legend."
"Yeah, those from the Hua Clan have arrived. That transcendent power beside them should also be from the Moon Continent. With such an imposing manner, other than the Pill Emperor Hall, there shouldn't be any other."
Many in the crowd sighed in admiration. They searched the Pill Emperor Hall, and soon after, they saw a few outstanding characters.
"That young man with golden eyes, I think he's Zhan Chen. I heard that he cultivated an Ascendant's cultivation art, causing his strength to increase to an incomparably terrifying level. There's even a rumor that he intentionally suppressed his cultivation base, all for the sake of becoming the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, causing his name to shake the entire Grand Xia."
"Who's that young woman? What a beauty, her beauty can topple empires."
"That woman is none other than the daughter of the Pill Emperor, Mo Qingcheng, the disciple of Luo He. She's very low-profile, and very few people know of her. But in the Moon Continent, her name can shake the heavens."
Countless voices filled the skies of the Ginkou Continent. In the ancient capital of Grand Xia, where the elites of the nine continents gathered, there were naturally countless topics to talk about!
