Everyone fell silent. They were all descendants of immortal kings and emperors, many of them have heard of the legends regarding ancient emperors before.
They all knew that in the vast immortal realms, there had once been some world-shaking immortal emperors. These immortal emperors had once unified the vast Chaotic Immortal Realms, standing at the peak of the immortal realms, becoming emperors of all times.
Ancient Emperor Yi was one of them. And just like what was in this underground palace, Ancient Emperor Yi seemed to be an immortal emperor that was proficient in divine inscriptions and had a world-shaking secret art.
There was always a legend in the immortal realms that if an immortal emperor could obtain the secret art of an ancient emperor, they would have the chance to dominate the immortal realms.
"How can it be so easy to obtain the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi? Even immortal kings were trapped here, reaching the end of their lifespans, let alone us. In addition, even if the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi was placed before us, who would dare to say that they would be able to comprehend it?" Someone spoke, causing the hearts of everyone to sink again.
What was a world-shaking secret art? A secret art that could shake the entire world, able to dominate the immortal realms. Even immortal kings and emperors yearned for it, let alone them. Also, if it really appeared before them, it would be extremely difficult to comprehend it. If not, if it was so easy to comprehend, these secret arts wouldn't have been lost in the first place.
"The secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi should be God's Hand, right?" Xiao Lengyue spoke in a low voice, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. Indeed, Ancient Emperor Yi's ultimate art was none other than God's Hand. Just hearing the name of this art would cause countless illusions to appear. However, nobody knew what God's Hand was, and nobody had ever seen how terrifying God's Hand was. Could it really shatter the heavens and earth?
"It's God's Hand. However, what we should be discussing now, shouldn't we be discussing what exactly did this person obtain earlier?" Xuan Xing pointed his finger at Qin Wentian, as though he had no intentions of letting Qin Wentian off.
Qin Wentian frowned, staring at Xuan Xing, "I already said that it's a map."
"Hmph, it's already imprinted in your mind. I don't believe you." Xuan Xing coldly snorted.
"You also know that it's already imprinted in my mind. If you don't believe me, could it be that you want to dig it out from my mind?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke.
"Why not? If you don't hand it over, you will definitely die before the others." Xuan Xing stepped out as the experts of the Twin Stars Alliance surrounded Qin Wentian, exuding a terrifying aura.
"Right now, what's more important is to find a way out. There's no need to continue fighting." Xiao Lengyue coldly spoke.
"Leng Yue, previously, he lied to us and said that he had obtained the map. Perhaps it was because he wanted us to help him. Why do we have to interfere?" Xia Qianhan said from the side.
"I'll say it again. That's the map of the underground palace. The ancient path that we were on earlier has five forks, and this is one of them. If not for your sudden attack, I wouldn't have tried to snatch the map away. Actually, it's completely useless. It's only so that the people who come in can see the situation clearly. Otherwise, why do you think these corpses weren't taken away when they came in?"
Qin Wentian spoke in a loud voice, causing the expressions of everyone to freeze. Qin Wentian's words made sense. This map had always been present at the entrance, and there was a high possibility that it was just an ordinary map.
"We will settle this debt with you when we return," Xuan Xing pointed his finger at Qin Wentian, "Let's go and see if there are any secrets hidden within the five forks."
After speaking, Xuan Xing turned and led the experts of the Twin Stars Alliance away, preparing to explore the other four forks.
Xiao Lengyue's brows were tightly furrowed. After a moment, she spoke in a low voice, "Even immortal kings died here. If we say we can find a way out, that's nothing but a fool's dream. We should take a closer look and see if there are any secrets hidden within this underground palace."
"Qin Wentian, you are proficient in divine inscriptions. It's rumored that Ancient Emperor Yi was also a terrifying Divine Inscriptionist Grandmaster. The entire underground palace is engraved with divine inscriptions. Take a look and see if there's any way to open the mechanism." Xiao Lengyue spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. He surveyed this cavern-like space. Regardless of the stone walls or the space above his head, there were countless divine inscriptions engraved on them. There were many unique types of divine inscriptions that could be fused together at will. For those who were proficient in divine inscriptions, they would be able to find countless types of divine inscriptions here. To those who cultivated in the field of divine inscriptions, this place was like a treasure trove.
But compared to Ancient Emperor Yi, this treasure trove was insignificant. Hence, even those geniuses who were proficient in divine inscriptions didn't pay too much attention to it.
Qin Wentian observed for a long time, yet a pessimistic feeling appeared in his heart. From the looks of it, other than divine inscriptions, there was nothing else. It seemed like there was no other way out.
A few hours later, Xiao Lengyue walked to Qin Wentian's side and asked, "Did you discover anything?"
"Nope." Qin Wentian shook his head. He was the one who brought Xiao Lengyue in. From her beautiful eyes, he actually couldn't see any anger or resentment. This point caused Qin Wentian to be extremely startled. Xiao Lengyue's temperament was extraordinary.
"I'll go take a look at the other places." Qin Wentian spoke. Xiao Lengyue nodded her head, "I'll accompany you. If you meet Xuan Xing, he might act against you again."
After speaking, she didn't even ask for Qin Wentian's opinion and directly led the way.
Qin Wentian stared at her back view before following after her.
The atmosphere in the palace was extremely quiet, only the sound of footsteps could be heard. Xiao Lengyue turned her head back and smiled. That smile of hers seemed to be able to hook away the souls of people.
"Do you think that we will be like those immortal kings and die when we reach the end of our lifespans?" Xiao Lengyue suddenly asked.
"I won't think about this." Qin Wentian replied. "I'll only think about how to exit this place."
"You are very optimistic." Xiao Lengyue smiled. "Those immortal kings have already forged their immortal bodies, and their bodies won't rot. If we die when we reach the end of our lifespans, we would only be a pile of bones. No matter how I look now, at that time, I would definitely be extremely ugly."
After speaking, a bitter smile appeared on her face, as though she was mocking herself.
Qin Wentian didn't say anything. The two of them continued walking forward quietly, arriving at the fork in the road. Xiao Lengyue stood beside Qin Wentian and smiled, "What you saw, was it really just a map of the underground palace?"
"Mhm, there's no need for me to lie to you." Qin Wentian nodded.
"I believe you." Xiao Lengyue smiled. "Come, let's take a look at the other paths."
Qin Wentian cast a deep glance at Xiao Lengyue's back view, feeling a chill running down his spine. Did Xiao Lengyue really believe him?
If she did, why would she intentionally walk together with him? She even smiled radiantly at him earlier and asked this question?
Although Xiao Lengyue's actions were extremely natural, Qin Wentian had long since passed the age of ignorance. How could he not see through her? This Xiao Lengyue was even more terrifying compared to what he had imagined. Her scheming ability caused him to feel a chill in his heart.
Did Xiao Lengyue really not feel any resentment towards him for bringing Xiao Lengyue to this forbidden ground?
Qin Wentian continued following behind Xiao Lengyue. The two of them each had their own worries in their hearts, neither of them knew what the other was thinking.
This ancient path was extremely similar to the one before, there were no abnormalities at all. At the end of the ancient path, there were also a few corpses.
Next, the third path, the fourth path, the fifth path, all of them were the same. Such a situation caused the geniuses who were trapped here to feel even more terror. Was there really no other path to take in this underground palace?
Did they have to sit here and wait for death?
Just a few days later, the emotions of the geniuses all felt somewhat off. Ancient Emperors, Ancient Emperors, Ancient Emperors and Ancient Emperor Yi were all tossed to the back of their minds. Right now, they only wanted to leave this place.
Although they could cultivate for several months or even several years, this was different. They were currently facing the threat of death. If they couldn't find the exit, they would die. Every day was a torment.
Their frustrated emotions piled up day by day. After a month, even Xiao Lengyue's face no longer had the slightest hint of a smile on it. Her countenance was like ten thousand year old ice, so cold that it was terrifying.
Not only in the underground palace, even in the outside world, there were many experts gathered here. Among them, there were many from the Xiao Sect and the Twin Stars Alliance. There was a young man among them that was extremely conspicuous. He stood in the center of the crowd, exuding an extraordinary aura. His features bore a striking resemblance to Xuan Xing.
This young man was none other than the elder brother of Xuan Xing, Xuan Yang of the Twin Stars Alliance. He was ranked # 4 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.
"Xuan Xing has already been in there for a month, right?" Xuan Yang coldly spoke. The people around him could all feel the coldness radiating from him.
"Mhm, Xiao Lengyue and the others as well." Someone replied. The son of the Xuan Emperor and the daughter of the Xiao Emperor, both of them had actually disappeared. Nobody knew what the consequences would be. If they died … the crowd couldn't help but shiver when they thought of this.
"Lengyue." Among the people of the Xiao Sect, there was also a silhouette exuding magnificence through the generations. He stared ahead, his countenance as sharp as a divine weapon. His gaze turned to two people not far away from him, they were none other than Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen.
"Your friend brought Lengyue into such a desperate situation. If anything happens to Lengyue, I want all of you to die together with her." That young man icily spoke, his words causing Jun Mengchen to coldly stare at him.
"A bunch of fools." Little Rascal lay lazily in Zi Qingxuan's embrace. Upon seeing the lazy look on his face, Zi Qingxuan and Jun Mengchen knew that nothing had happened to Qin Wentian.
In a place infinitely far away from here, in a certain particle world, an old man stood on the peak of an ancient mountain. Beside him was an extremely cold-looking man, and right in front of them, a young man was slowly moving closer.
Walking to the side of the old man, the young man asked, "Senior, do you know of Ancient Emperor Yi?"
"I do. Why are you asking this for?" The old man faintly asked, feeling somewhat unhappy.
"I want to know what sort of energy Ancient Emperor Yi was proficient in." The young man asked.
"God's Hand. However, although it's called God's Hand, in truth, it's something that can be unleashed from the energy in one's body. He tempered his body to the point that it's compatible with the laws of the universe, allowing his palms to unleash a heaven-shaking might. God's Hand isn't a palm technique, it's a technique that can be used to unleash any sort of innate technique. Any attack he unleashed would be able to unleash terrifying might in his hands. This is why it's called God's Hand."
The old man calmly replied.
