The light from the stone monument shone on Qin Wentian, causing a phenomenon to manifest around him. Numerous illusory battle drums appeared, revolving around him.
"BOOM, BOOM, BOOM …" The humming sounds reverberated unceasingly throughout the heavens and earth. A powerful force gushed forth from the stone monument, abruptly smashing towards Qin Wentian. With a deafening boom, the battle drums shook the heavens, and a fearsome force permeated through Qin Wentian's body, causing him to groan in agony as he coughed out a mouthful of fresh blood. His entire person was flung through the air.
Ye Lingshuang, Qin Zheng and the rest were standing together with Qin Wentian, yet they were all fine. The light from the stone monument only targeted Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's long hair fluttered in the wind, his gaze was deep as he silently cursed the ox demon in his heart. Didn't they say that as long as he became the sole survivor, he would be able to obtain the treasures? Why did he still want to be beaten up?
"Damn ox." Qin Wentian roared in rage when he saw the light from the stone monument blasting towards him. He slammed his fist onto the battle drum in front of him.
"BOOM!" The sound of the drum shook the heavens as a gigantic palm imprint broke through the air, blasting towards the stone monument.
When the palm imprint landed on the stone monument, the energy from the impact was directly devoured by it. The light from the stone monument was like a lingering spirit that refused to disperse, enveloping Qin Wentian's body, causing Qin Wentian's countenance to turn incredibly unsightly to behold.
"BOOM!" A surge of destructive energy gushed forth, it was actually an illusory palm imprint, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to widen in shock. What kind of demon-level existence was this stone monument? It could even reflect attacks?
Qin Wentian was speechless, he could only unleash another explosive strike, ruthlessly blasting the illusory battle drum in front of him. A surge of destructive energy directly gushed into his body, causing him to cough out blood once more. This caused Qin Wentian to feel an impulse to curse out.
"I WILL DESTROY YOU!" Qin Wentian roared furiously. His entire body glowed with a resplendent light as he rushed towards the stone stele. A blood-red halberd appeared, bringing with it a boundless destructive might as it landed on the stone stele.
"Dong, dong, dong …" The light from the stone monument grew even stronger. Qin Wentian could feel the illusory battle drums around him vibrating non-stop. Waves of energy rushed into his body. Qin Wentian didn't know how many mouthfuls of blood he had vomited. His face turned pale, but the arrogance in his eyes was still there. He attacked the haunting stone monument crazily, getting injured crazily. Until one moment, the world was filled with the reverberation of the drums. The light from the battle drums suddenly disappeared, as if it had rushed into Qin Wentian's body.
"Boom!" The huge stone tablet trembled and then turned into a beam of light that pierced through the sky. It was filled with mysterious colors. Qin Wentian looked at all of this in astonishment, a look of disbelief on his face.
Was it finally over?
"Wait, what is this?" Qin Wentian's heart stirred. After which, he closed his eyes, and in his perception, a battle drum actually appeared in his body, fusing together with him.
"This …" Qin Wentian was speechless. Was this the good stuff that the ox demon had promised him?
He carefully probed his body. Although he was weak due to his injuries, he discovered that after being beaten up by the stone monument, the Astral Energy in his body, as well as the circulation of his blood and Astral Energy, had become even smoother. Not only that, his will of Mandates seemed to have grown more refined.
"This battle drum should be a treasure similar to the hatchet in foster father's body, able to fuse together with it." Qin Wentian mused. After which, with an intention of his will, the light from the battle drums enveloped his entire body, as though he was surrounded by battle drums.
"Wentian, try to see if there's any amplification effect to your attacks." Ye Lingshuang was astonished when she saw this scene. She recalled that her father's hatchet was able to amplify his attacks. Qin Wentian's battle drum should be able to do so as well.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head. After the battle drum entered his body, the suppression on his cultivation base was removed, returning him to his original cultivation base, the fifth level of Heavenly Dipper. But what was strange was that the cultivation bases of Ye Lingshuang and the others were still suppressed. Maybe because he became the only one here, it could be said that he had passed some of the tests of the Immortal Martial Realm and obtained the right to remove the suppression on his cultivation base.
Qin Wentian lifted his palms and attacked. The sound of the battle drum echoed out as a terrifying palm imprint blasted out, causing Qin Wentian's heart to tremble. He nodded his head to Ye Lingshuang, "Amplification effect, and I can sense that this battle drum is able to weaken the attacks of others. This is a divine weapon that can be used for both offense and defense."
"The suppression on your cultivation base has been removed as well." Ye Lingshuang's eyes flashed with joy.
"It's indeed removed, but the fifth level of Heavenly Dipper is still insufficient. I feel that I'm about to break through soon." Qin Wentian spoke. After experiencing the baptism of the battle drum and the stone monument, he could faintly sense that he was about to break through.
"Go ahead and cultivate then, we will stand guard for you." Chu Mang spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head as he glanced at the direction where the stone monument was located. There was a pathway there, and if he passed through this pathway, he would be able to continue advancing forward. However, Qin Wentian wanted to raise his cultivation base before he left this place. If not, it would be extremely difficult for him to deal with the other eighty medallions that had a higher cultivation base than him.
Out of the eighty-one medallions, he, at the fifth level of Heavenly Dipper, could be considered the weakest among them. The others were at the eighth or ninth level of Heavenly Dipper, there was no way he could win against them.
Just like Gu Liufeng, one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses, how tyrannical was he when he was at the eighth level of Heavenly Dipper?
Hence, Qin Wentian hoped that before he clashed with the others, he would be able to increase his strength as much as possible. Only then would he have more confidence.
"Right." Qin Wentian directly nodded his head in agreement. After which, he found a place to sit down and with a wave of his hand, numerous Yuan Meteor Stones appeared as he started his cultivation. As for the others, they didn't forget to clean up the battlefield and collect the treasures left behind by the fallen experts. Among these people, there were quite a few Heaven's Chosen, the amount of wealth they had on them would definitely be astonishing.
The moment Qin Wentian entered a state of cultivation, he would completely forget himself. Nothing would be able to disturb him. The Yuanfu in his body rumbled, emitting rumbling sounds akin to the roaring of the ocean. Chu Mang and the others exchanged glances as expressions of shock appeared on their faces. The movements of this fellow's cultivation were truly grand.
"Stepping into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm is a watershed for one's strength. For some supreme Heaven's Chosen, the constellations they manifested would be exceedingly shocking, pulling apart the gap between them and the rest. I wonder what kind of constellation Qin Wentian would manifest after he stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm." Ye Lingshuang silently mused. She was filled with anticipation for Qin Wentian's growth. After being together with Qin Wentian for a long period of time, Ye Lingshuang could faintly sense that this demon-level existence would definitely surpass her father, the Human Emperor.
Qin Wentian, who was in a state of immersion, completely forgot the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, three days passed. At this moment, there were quite a few others who came here, but after they left, they all returned.
Fan Le and Ouyang Kuangsheng also appeared. Evidently, these people didn't appear earlier because they were trapped in the Cavern of Life and Death or somewhere else. Among them, there was a silver-robed young man whose aura was extremely terrifying, exuding the aura of a seventh-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereign.
This caused Ye Lingshuang and the rest to feel fear in their hearts. They all knew that this floating bridge was extremely vast, and there were some strange places where as long as you were brave enough, you could barge into it. However, the number of people who barged into it was extremely few, and the number of people who returned alive was even fewer. There were also people like Qin Wentian who had already dispelled the suppression on their cultivation bases.
That person merely cast a glance in the direction of Qin Wentian before continuing on his way, leaving via the only passageway. The rumbling sounds within Qin Wentian's body grew increasingly terrifying, and finally, on the second day, he broke through to the next cultivation base.
The instant he opened his eyes, Qin Wentian saw Fan Le and Ouyang Kuangsheng. A smile appeared on his face, luckily they were fine.
"You freak, you actually broke through to the sixth-level of Heavenly Dipper. I barely made it out alive in the Cavern of Life and Death, barely managing to break through to the fifth-level." Ouyang Kuangsheng gloomily punched Qin Wentian. Not only that, Qin Wentian had also dispelled the suppression on his cultivation bases. As for what happened earlier, he had already heard from Ye Lingshuang and the rest.
"Fatty, I feel the pressure is too great." Fan Le seriously mumbled, his words causing Qin Wentian to laugh. He didn't ask them what they had experienced in the Cavern of Life and Death, he merely stated, "Let's move out, let's see what we'll encounter later on."
"Mhm." Everyone nodded their heads, as they continued on the path where the monument disappeared. Not too long after, they arrived at a door.
"I'll enter first." Fan Le stepped forward, yet he directly slammed into the door, unable to enter.
"It can't be that strange, right?" Fan Le stated in a depressed tone.
"Let me try." Chu Mang stepped forward, but just like Fan Le, a formless energy seemed to obstruct them, preventing them from advancing.
Ye Lingshuang's gaze turned to Qin Wentian, as a strange light flashed in her eyes. "No wonder some people returned earlier. Seems like only those who have dispelled the suppression on their cultivation bases would be able to exit. For the others, they have no choice but to remain here."
Qin Wentian furrowed his brows. After which, he stepped forward, and his body actually passed through the door without any obstruction. He could even clearly feel a surge of spatial energy.
"F * ck." Fan Le's eyes widened as he speechlessly stated, "Seems like we have to go back and search for a way out. It's obvious that we didn't even manage to obtain an entrance ticket."
"Indeed, we have to go back." Qin Zheng stated in a low voice. Evidently, they needed to find a way to dispel the suppression on their cultivation bases before they could continue onwards.
Yun Mengyi didn't reply. Her eyes were as cold as ever as she turned her head and departed the area. The others followed after her.
As for Qin Wentian, after he passed through the door, he arrived at another location. This place was a gigantic square plaza, and there were already several silhouettes gathered there. With a single glance, Qin Wentian saw a total of eleven experts. Not only that, he was acquainted with quite a few of them.
These people were gathered in front of a pagoda in the center of the plaza. From the top of the pagoda, beams of light continuously cascaded downwards, bringing with them a mysterious energy. The top of the pagoda was naturally pointed, and when Qin Wentian inclined his head, a blinding beam of light shot over, causing Qin Wentian to involuntarily raise his hands to shield his eyes.
"Sir Qin." A gentle voice drifted over. Qin Wentian shifted his hands away from his eyes as he turned his gaze in the direction of the voice. Once again, he saw a countenance that would cause one's heart to tremble. With a light smile, and a single glance, it was as though it could cause one's heart to sink in.
"Xian`er." Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. This person was none other than Lin Xian`er. Qin Wentian naturally understood when he saw the people here. He had already arrived at the same location as the others on the floating bridge. Among the eleven people here, he was acquainted with those who possessed the Immortal Martial Medallion, and were one of the eighty-one Heaven Chosen.
A cold gaze landed on him. Qin Wentian sensed it as he turned his gaze over. He only saw Lou Bingyu coldly glancing at him before shifting her gaze away. There were no fluctuations in her eyes at all.
"Hehe, there's a path to heaven but you don't want to walk it. There's no gate to hell but you insist on barging in." An arrogant voice drifted over. This time around, Qin Wentian saw a silhouette filled with a wild demonic qi. It was none other than the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect. Those who came here were all heavy-tier Heaven Chosen!
