Qin Wentian seemed to have entered a meditative state, completely immersed in his comprehension.
Since he had already drawn out this gigantic palm imprint in a three-dimensional form, there was a high possibility that the secret of the underground palace would be contained within this gigantic palm imprint. If he could comprehend the secret within, there might be a chance for him to leave this place.
However, this gigantic palm imprint was incomparably profound, containing countless transformations and was extremely difficult to comprehend. Qin Wentian told Di Tian to stop his cultivation because he hoped that he would be able to unravel it.
In the underground palace, Xia Qianhan walked to the side of Xiao Lengyue and asked, "Lengyue, it's true that there's no way to find the exit here. Why do you still want to protect that person?"
Xiao Lengyue stared at Qin Wentian, she didn't look at Xia Qianhan as she replied, "Now is the time for everyone to work together to think of a way to leave this place. Don't keep thinking about such things. Even if I vent my hatred on Qin Wentian, so what? Can I find the exit?"
"Well said." A voice drifted over, only to see Xuan Xing slowly walking over. His eyes were dazzling, gleaming with a mysterious light. He was the same as Qin Wentian, he had already seen through all the divine inscriptions in this underground palace. With his mystic eyes, no divine inscriptions would be able to escape his eyes. But so what? Even if he could unravel the divine inscriptions one by one, he wouldn't be able to unravel the secret within the entire underground palace.
"However, Xiao Lengyue, are you really so magnanimous? The others can say that they followed you guys in but you were the one who lured him into the emperor palace. Don't you have any resentment at all?" Xuan Xing stared into Xiao Lengyue's eyes. Those sharp eyes of his seemed to be able to see through people.
This Xiao Lengyue was truly a character. If it was him, he wouldn't be able to do what Xiao Lengyue did, not showing any resentment on the surface and even protecting Qin Wentian.
"Lengyue, say something. I can kill him for you. How about it?" Xuan Xing laughed. From the moment he entered, he already couldn't stand Qin Wentian. Let alone now that they were stuck here, his hatred for Qin Wentian had already accumulated to a certain degree.
Xiao Lengyue glanced at Xuan Xing as she coldly spoke, "My matters have nothing to do with you. You better find a way out yourself."
"Haha, Xiao Lengyue, we're already trapped here. Why must you be so cold? If we really die here, we can be considered to have lived and died together." Xuan Xing laughed insolently. After which, his eyes stared in the direction of Qin Wentian as a cold light flashed in his eyes. This Qin Wentian was truly so carefree, to think that he could still cultivate in peace.
"Since you have so much time on your hands, why don't you go and comprehend the divine inscriptions in the underground palace and see if there are any secrets hidden within?" Xiao Lengyue's voice was as cold as ever. In this underground palace, she was like a blind person, helpless to do anything. The only people she could rely on were these geniuses who were proficient in divine inscriptions. This was also the reason why she had always protected Qin Wentian.
She naturally could tell that Qin Wentian's attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were extremely high. If a ninth-level ascendant fought against him here, there was a high probability that the ninth-level ascendant would be defeated. There was already a precedent of this before.
"Hmph." Xuan Xing coldly snorted. Comprehend the secrets hidden within? Did Xiao Lengyue think that he didn't want to? However, she had no clue at all. She didn't know where to start. Glancing at the corpse in front of him, his gaze turned even colder when he stared at Qin Wentian.
"Xuan Xing, should we …" Beside Xuan Xing, a few geniuses from the Twin Stars Alliance walked over, making a slashing motion at Qin Wentian.
"There's no rush. In any case, we're already trapped here and won't be able to escape. If we kill him now, wouldn't we have one less person to accompany us?" Xuan Xing seemed to have changed his mind, he wasn't in a hurry to kill Qin Wentian. He could already feel the taste of torment, and this feeling wasn't good at all. If he killed Qin Wentian so early, wouldn't Qin Wentian be spared from such torment?
In the following days, to the geniuses who were trapped here, every single day was filled with agony. There was no way out, no chance of survival, no motivation for them to cultivate. Even if they broke through to immortal-foundation, it was useless. Even immortal kings died here. What could immortal-foundation change?
This underground palace was like a devil's curse, perplexing everyone. There was no way to undo it, causing the emotions of the geniuses to grow more and more violent. It was as though there would come a day when they would lose control of their emotions.
Qin Wentian still sat there cross-legged, as though he would never move. On his body, there seemed to be a layer of armor shimmering with light. That was the Fiendgod Body Refinement Art.
The Fiendgod Body Refinement Art used the power of divine inscriptions to temper one's fleshly body, and it required the Spirit Refinement Method as a supplement. Qin Wentian had been comprehending the giant palm imprint for a very long time. He could faintly sense that there were some similarities between the giant palm imprint and the Fiendgod Body Refinement Art.
It was just that the Fiendgod Body Refinement Art was used to temper one's fiendgod body, while the giant palm imprint was purely offensive. However, if one were to comprehend it in this direction, there might be an effect.
He cultivated the Spirit Refinement Method, he had an innate advantage.
Qin Wentian even used the Ten Thousand Laws Record as a supplement to his cultivation. In the illusory dreamscape, he seemed to be immersed in the endless flow of divine inscriptions on the giant palm imprint. He couldn't see the specific divine inscriptions, but he was within it. The divine inscriptions on the giant palm imprint enveloped him, and it was as though the divine inscriptions were a complete entity, capable of a myriad of transformations, possessing an unfathomable might.
"The path of cultivation, is to go from simplicity to complexity, and from complexity to simplicity." Qin Wentian silently mused. With regards to this point, he had already comprehended it a very long time ago. This was the case for any type of energy. Starting from the basics, from simplicity to complexity. After mastering it, no matter how complex an innate technique was, it would be able to be unleashed in an instant. It was as though it was a matter of a single thought, and with a wave of one's hand, one would be able to unleash a powerful attack that was previously so difficult to comprehend.
The comprehension of energy was just so profound. Qin Wentian was thinking that at this moment, he hadn't reached the stage where he could comprehend from complexity to simplicity. With regards to the comprehension of this giant palm imprint, he should start from the simplest.
"Spirit Refinement Method." Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath. It was time for the Spirit Refinement Method to unleash its profundities. He was prepared to start from the very beginning. The first step was to mimic all of the divine inscriptions on the giant palm imprint. Maybe he might be able to return to simplicity, but this process was something that could never be skipped. Cultivation was just like this, one had to take each and every step, there were no shortcuts.
Qin Wentian had no distractions in his heart, fully immersing himself in his own cultivation. Hence, he couldn't sense the flow of time, nor could he sense the baleful aura of the other Heaven's Chosen.
He had something to do, and since he was so focused, he had no concept of time at all. However, the others had nothing to do, and every second was excruciating.
Within the underground palace, the various Heaven's Chosen walked back and forth. There were people who tried to blast every corner of the palace, but to no avail. They couldn't even move the slightest bit. There were no openings here, they simply didn't exist.
Almost everyone who passed by Qin Wentian, regardless of whether they were from the Twin Stars Alliance or the Xiao Sect, would all stare coldly at him. The coldness in their eyes grew increasingly intense as time passed.
They had no way to blame themselves for being rash and impulsive, following Qin Wentian into the palace. They could only blame Qin Wentian for his arrogance, bringing them into such a desperate situation. This was the nature of humans.
If looks could kill, it was unknown how many times Qin Wentian would have died already.
"Xiao Lengyue, you are truly patient." Xuan Xing once again came here, staring at Xiao Lengyue as he stared at Qin Wentian.
Xiao Lengyue's heart trembled slightly. Patience?
His patience was slowly whittling away with each passing day.
From the time they entered this underground palace, it had already been five months. They didn't cultivate, nor did they improve. Every day, they spent their time in torment, searching and searching. Eventually, they would feel despair.
"His patience is even better than yours."
Xuan Xing's sinister gaze once again turned to Qin Wentian. He couldn't help but admit that Qin Wentian's patience was the best out of all of them. He still wanted to see Qin Wentian enduring the torment. However, Qin Wentian didn't. He was immersed in his own world every day, quietly cultivating. It was like he wasn't trapped here but came here to cultivate.
Such calmness and patience caused even Xuan Xing to feel a little jealous.
"Is he waiting for others to find a way out for him?" Xuan Xing coldly spoke.
At this moment, a figure walked towards Qin Wentian. Upon seeing this, Xuan Xing frowned as a cold smile flickered in his eyes.
Finally, someone couldn't endure it any longer?
At this moment, Qin Wentian was at a critical juncture. He could already form all the divine inscriptions he wanted. In the illusory space, he stood in the center of the gigantic palm imprint and stretched out his palm. Numerous runic inscriptions flowed as boundless divine energy appeared on his palm. As the runic inscriptions flowed, it felt as though in an instant, his palm was about to transform. As long as he willed it, he could create countless transformations in a short period of time, truly unfathomable.
Qin Wentian retracted his palm. He stood in the center of the gigantic palm imprint and when he stared at it again, he seemed to have gained a hint of comprehension. It was as though he could see the divine inscriptions within the gigantic palm imprint with his naked eyes, transforming unceasingly. This feeling was extremely mystical, he couldn't explain it clearly.
But at this moment, Qin Wentian suddenly felt a terrifying sense of danger descending upon him from the outside world. His eyes abruptly opened only to see a blood-colored palm imprint blasting towards him. This terrifying palm imprint seemed to be able to crush him into meat paste with a single palm strike. Qin Wentian didn't even have the time to see who the attacker was.
Qin Wentian hurriedly gathered all his strength and blasted out with his palms. Terrifying runic light circulated within his palms, directly colliding with the blood-colored palm imprint. In just an instant, Qin Wentian's body was flung through the air, directly slamming into the wall behind him. A terrifying surge of energy gushed into his body, causing him to groan in misery as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. His countenance paled.
Inclining his head, Qin Wentian stared ahead. Many people were staring in his direction, all of them had cold expressions on their faces, filled with baleful intent. This included Xiao Lengyue. She was also watching, but this time around, she didn't stop them.
Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a demonic smile. He was doing his best to comprehend the mysteries of the underground palace while these people had nothing better to do. Yet their hatred for him grew stronger and stronger, to the point where they wanted to kill him. How ridiculous was this?!
