Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, it was as though he wanted to completely forget everything that happened in the dreamscape. His eyes gleamed with sharpness, as a terrifying determination could be seen within.
After experiencing such a calamity in the dreamscape, he was able to awaken with his absolute will and conviction. This caused his state of heart to grow even more resolute. Nobody would be able to obstruct his path forward.
Standing up, Qin Wentian only felt a chill permeating his entire body. Perspiration drenched his robes, and when the gentle breeze brushed past, the coldness seeped into his skin, causing him to feel traces of coldness. However, his gaze was still fixated ahead.
In the distance ahead, there was a true Ancient Emperor's Tomb. However, it radiated a resplendent light, as though this ancient tomb would never lose its brilliance.
His silhouette flickered, Qin Wentian walked to the boundary of this space and stared at the golden-colored ancient tomb ahead of him. In this entire space, there was only a single ancient tomb that existed. The tombstone of this ancient tomb was actually in the shape of a human. Clearly, it was a statue of an ancient emperor. This tomb was the tomb of an ancient emperor.
"There are words here." Qin Wentian stared at the statue, only to see that in front of the chest area of the statue, there was actually an ancient tombstone inscribed with words.
"Tomb of the Xia Emperor!"
Qin Wentian stared at the three words on the right as his heart pounded. The owner of this tomb, was none other than the Xia Emperor.
Grand Xia, after so many generations, had produced many emperors. Regardless of the Tyrant Emperor or the Blood Emperor, both of them could be considered as the overlords of Grand Xia. However, there was only one person who was truly named the Xia Emperor.
The ancestor of Grand Xia, the Xia Emperor!
This place, the tomb of the Xia Emperor.
In front of the statue of the Xia Emperor, a golden-colored pathway could be seen. This pathway was extremely long, and on the left and right, there were numerous puppets standing there motionlessly. These puppets all wielded long spears in their hands, and although they stood there motionlessly, a powerful killing intent emanated from them.
What caused Qin Wentian to be taken aback was that at the start of the golden pathway, there was actually a seat for a cultivator to sit on. On top of the seat, there were many ancient scrolls.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flickered as he soared through the air, stopping at the starting point of the golden pathway. He sat on the ground and took out one of the ancient scrolls. This ancient scroll actually contained information regarding the Dao of Divine Inscriptions, causing Qin Wentian to be extremely astonished.
In front of the tomb of the Xia Clan's founder, the Xia Emperor, the first page was an ancient scroll of Divine Inscriptions. This scroll was somewhat similar to the Gold-Element Ancient Scroll that Qin Wentian had obtained. However, this scroll was much more profound and profound, containing the Dao of Divine Inscriptions Puppetry, the Dao of Divine Inscriptions Formations, and the Dao of Divine Inscriptions Forging.
Could it be that the founder of the Xia Clan, the Xia Emperor, was an expert proficient in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions?
Qin Wentian flipped through the pages one by one, and finally, he came across a page that recorded a formation. This formation was named the Ancient Vermilion Bird Formation.
"Vermilion Bird Formation." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness. It was actually the Vermilion Bird Formation, the formation that they entered during the Heavenly Fate Rankings battle.
This battle was a peak-tier fifth-ranked Divine Inscriptions formation, and was extremely mysterious. Qin Wentian only felt that it was boundlessly wondrous. Such a grand formation wasn't something he could comprehend in the past. Even when he stood within the formation, he couldn't see through its intricacies at all.
Now that he personally witnessed the inscription method of this formation, he was even more shocked.
Back then, the might of the Vermilion Bird Formation wasn't even at the peak of the fifth-ranked. It seemed like the exhaustion of Grand Xia over the years had caused the Vermilion Bird Formation to lose its former glory.
Qin Wentian placed the ancient scroll down and turned his attention to the second scroll. This scroll contained a cultivation art, the Great Dream Immortal Art!
Before this, the cultivation art Qin Wentian used was the Dreamcast Art. This was a cultivation art at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, allowing one to cultivate in their dreams, absorbing astral energy from the Astral Light.
But now, with the appearance of the Great Dream Immortal Art, it seemed that it could perfectly replace the Dreamcast Art.
When Qin Wentian flipped through the pages of the Great Dream Immortal Art, he was instantly struck by a deep sense of awe. He was completely immersed within, unable to extricate himself.
Before this, he had already deeply felt how terrifying the might of the Great Dream Immortal Art was. The Xia Emperor who had died many years ago created a dream for him, causing him to almost be unable to extricate himself.
What was even more terrifying was that the snowman and sword forest from before were all created by him. However, the snowman and sword forest were different from the third dimension. He had truly experienced them, hence he was able to successfully cultivate the Seven Annihilations Swordplay. But in the third dimension, he was trapped within a dream.
However, the power of the Great Dream Immortal Art was so great that people couldn't differentiate between reality and reality. Or to put it in another way, dreams could be passed off as reality.
After a long time, Qin Wentian finally retracted his will, placing the Great Dream Immortal Art back in its original location.
This Great Dream Immortal Art, other than the power of the dreamscape, had another advantage. For those who cultivated it, they would be able to create innate techniques more easily, perfecting them in their dreams.
After all, as Stellar Martial Cultivators grew stronger, their Mandates, Astral Novas, and Martial Constellations would all gradually be able to unleash immense power. And powerful innate techniques all had to be fused together. If one could create an innate technique, they would naturally be able to fuse the energy they were most proficient in into the innate technique, allowing the power unleashed to be even stronger.
Qin Wentian picked up the ancient scroll on the right and opened it. This wasn't a cultivation art, nor was it an innate technique. Instead, it was a map.
On this map, there were mountain ranges all around, and immortal qi permeated the air. However, amidst the immortal qi, there seemed to be an immortal palace floating in the air. And above this immortal palace, the silhouette of a Vermilion Bird could be seen flickering in and out of existence.
In all directions of the mountain range where this immortal palace was located, there were many other maps. Evidently, this map wanted to tell him the location of the immortal palace in the center.
"The totem of Grand Xia is the Vermilion Bird. Could it be related to this?"
Qin Wentian silently mused. If not, why would the Xia Emperor leave behind a map of the immortal palace here?
Standing up, Qin Wentian stared at the golden ancient pathway. After which, he stepped out. Instantly, an incomparably intense killing intent permeated the air. However, as Qin Wentian's foot landed, the resplendent runes on the pathway abruptly dimmed. Every step he took caused the golden pathway to tremble, as the runes on the pathway were suppressed by the runes on the pathway.
At this moment, in the centre of Qin Wentian's brows, his third eye shone resplendently. He naturally knew that this golden pathway was actually a pathway of Divine Inscriptions. Those who stepped on it would die without a doubt.
The Xia Emperor left behind an ancient scroll of Divine Inscriptions at the starting point. Most probably, it was because he hoped that those who came here would be able to comprehend the Dao of Divine Inscriptions.
But to Qin Wentian, with his incomparably strong perception of Divine Inscriptions, breaking the formation of Divine Inscriptions was much easier than inscribing it. With each step he took, he stepped onto the lifeline of the Divine Inscriptions.
"Stellar Transposition." Crackling sounds rang out as the Puppets on both sides of the golden pathway began to move. With a flicker of their silhouettes, the long spears in their hands stabbed towards Qin Wentian, exuding a fearsome killing intent.
"Stellar Transposition."
Qin Wentian stepped on astral light as he landed beside the Puppet. His palms continuously slammed onto the surface of the Puppet, causing it to instantly collapse onto the ground. It was as though the Divine Inscriptions inscribed within had been destroyed.
Qin Wentian had long since researched the Reverse Divine Inscriptions. Now that his cultivation base was also at the Heavenly Dipper Realm, fourth-ranked Puppets, even if they were of higher quality, wouldn't be able to pose a threat to him.
In the blink of an eye, numerous Puppets were destroyed by him. Qin Wentian continued on the golden pathway. Even if the Xia Emperor was reincarnated, he wouldn't have imagined that he would arrive in front of the statue so quickly.
Qin Wentian stared at the ancient words inscribed on the statue of the Xia Emperor. "If you arrive here, take the key in my hand!"
Shifting his gaze, Qin Wentian stared at the palm of the Xia Emperor. Indeed, there was a key in the palm of the Xia Emperor. Qin Wentian stretched his hand out and took the key. Instantly, a golden beam of light flashed as the Heavens and Earth vanished. Qin Wentian's silhouette appeared in another dimension.
Here, the mountains were surrounded by celestial qi. The silhouette of Emperor Xia stood in the air. Behind him was the Celestial Palace depicted on the map. However, at this moment, the physical Celestial Palace was even more shocking.
"If you come here, it means that Grand Xia is already on the verge of destruction. Or maybe you have extraordinary talent, being able to light up all eighty-one stone pillars. Naturally, there's also the possibility of both. No matter what the situation is, regardless of whether you are a descendant of my Xia Clan or not, I hope that you will be able to protect Grand Xia from destruction."
The Xia Emperor slowly spoke. Qin Wentian knew that this wasn't the real Xia Emperor. This must be a dream will left behind by the Xia Emperor when he was still alive, bringing him here.
"I'm the Xia Emperor. Back then, I came to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace by chance and obtained the Great Dream Immortal Art, a powerful formation as well as many supreme cultivation treasures. This good fortune allowed me to unify Grand Xia and establish a dynasty. It's just that during this process, many treasures and resources were lost during my conquest. Only the Great Dream Immortal Art and the Great Dream Immortal Art remained with me. However, these aren't the most valuable treasures. The key I left behind can open the gate to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace. This key is something that even the hegemon of this region, the Royal Sacred Sect, yearns for even in their dreams."
"However, I've entered the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace before, and I know very well that powerful combat prowess, transcendent comprehension abilities, and an incomparably resolute heart are all indispensable. If not, you would definitely end up with nothing. Hence, before you came here, you had to undergo the most difficult trial. Only then would you have a chance. Back then when I entered the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace, the treasures I obtained were merely a hair from nine oxen. There were simply too many formations and boundless divine inscriptions. Hence, I left behind the Great Dream Immortal Art for you to comprehend. Because even if you managed to find the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace, the treasures you obtained would probably be inferior to mine. Hence, you might as well just take the Great Dream Immortal Art.
However, congratulations, you have succeeded. "The Xia Emperor smiled as he spoke." Even before his death, his heart was still filled with kindness. I hope that you, the one who came here, would be more outstanding than me. Only then would my efforts not be wasted. "
As the sound of his voice faded, his silhouette gradually turned illusory. However, that smile on his face was still there.
"The rise and fall of fate. Those of the future, you are the one who saw the last strand of my Great Dream Immortal Will. After this strand of will, the Xia Emperor no longer exists in this world!" As the sound of his voice faded, the silhouette of the Xia Emperor gradually vanished. The last strand of his Great Dream Immortal Will completely vanished from this world.
