"Seems like you guys are truly waiting for death here." Qin Wentian swept his gaze over everyone. The aura of the genius who attacked him earlier was extremely violent. He laughed in disdain, "Before I die, I will take your life first."
"Take my life?" A look of ridicule appeared on Qin Wentian's face. "You guys are waiting for death while I'm here alone, trying to comprehend the mysteries of the underground palace. What's even more lamentable is that trash who has nothing better to do actually want to vent their anger on me. How laughable is this? If I die, I'm afraid all of you can only wait for my death."
"Boasting shamelessly." That person's countenance was cold, staring at Qin Wentian as he continued stepping out.
"Stay your hand." A melodious voice rang out. Xiao Lengyue stepped out, her beautiful eyes staring at Qin Wentian as she asked, "Qin Wentian, did you discover something?"
"I've always been trying to comprehend the mysteries of the underground palace. What are these people doing?" Qin Wentian swept his gaze over everyone.
"Xiao Lengyue, do you really believe his words?" Only to see Xuan Xing also slowly walking up, staring at Qin Wentian. "What can you possibly comprehend? There are countless divine inscriptions in the underground palace, with a myriad of transformations. Even with my mystic eyes, I can only unravel them one by one, I have no way to unravel the mysteries within. What qualifications do you have to boast shamelessly?"
"Frog at the bottom of a well." Qin Wentian glanced at Xuan Xing. Rumbling sounds rang out as boundless runic light circulated in his palms. After which, he blasted out with his palms as an incomparably terrifying gigantic palm imprint appeared in the air. Within that gigantic palm imprint, there were actually countless divine inscriptions within. Not only that, Xuan Xing felt a sense of familiarity towards this palm imprint.
"Even if you can't do it, don't assume that others can't as well. You think your attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions are very high and others are inferior to you? You simply don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth and are short-sighted. How lamentable." Qin Wentian mocked. Xiao Lengyue's beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. Although she wasn't proficient in divine inscriptions, she could sense the profoundness behind the palm imprint Qin Wentian blasted out earlier. It was extremely similar to the divine inscriptions she saw in the underground palace.
Xuan Xing's expression darkened as he stared coldly at Qin Wentian. After a moment of silence, he opened his mouth, "I was wondering why you had been cultivating in peace. So the map you spoke of is the secret of the entire underground palace."
As soon as he said that, the expressions of all the cultivators changed again. They stared at Qin Wentian.
Yes, the map that Qin Wentian got, did it really contain the secret of the underground palace?
Qin Wentian froze for a moment before a strange smile appeared on his face, as though he was mocking himself. Xuan Xing's pride was ingrained deep in his bones. He had always felt that he was the most outstanding one among these people. At the very least, his attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions were as such. No matter what Qin Wentian said, even if he used facts to prove it, Xuan Xing would still be able to push all the blame onto the 'map'.
Qin Wentian understood that no matter what he said, it would be meaningless. He simply smiled and replied, "Let's just treat it as what you said. But right now, all of you are waiting for death. Only I have a chance to find a way out. What do you guys want?"
"You finally admitted it." Xuan Xing's killing intent gushed forth as he stepped forward, "Hand it over."
"Very good, seems like you have already made your choice." Qin Wentian glanced at Xuan Xing before turning his gaze onto the others. Xiao Lengyue's beautiful eyes flickered unceasingly, as though she was in contemplation.
"Xuan Xing, Qin Wentian is right. You have nothing better to do. Although you're proficient in divine inscriptions, you chose to give up on it and still want to deal with Qin Wentian. Right now, he is the only one who has a chance to find a way out. I won't allow you to touch him."
Xiao Lengyue expressed her attitude. Xuan Xing turned and stared at her, "Must you go against me because of him?"
"If you want to think so, just treat it as so." Xiao Lengyue coldly spoke. The experts of the Xiao Sect gathered behind her while those from the Twin Stars Alliance appeared beside Xuan Xing. The experts from both sides were in a stalemate again.
"Let's talk about everything after we find the exit." At this moment, another person expressed his opinion. This person wasn't from either of the two major powers.
"That's right. Since everyone is trapped here, there's no meaning in fighting. Do you want everyone to die together with him?" Another genius spoke, as though everyone didn't agree with Xuan Xing.
"Fine, since everyone says so, let's give him some more time." The person who acted to kill Qin Wentian earlier finally spoke. His eyes stared coldly at Qin Wentian as he spoke. Upon hearing his words, an expression of interest appeared on Qin Wentian's face.
After which, a mocking smile appeared on Qin Wentian's face. Were these people protecting him really for his own good? Clearly not. Once they found the exit, they would be like Xuan Xing and interrogate him about what he obtained exactly.
In truth, as long as one used their brains and thought about it, immortal kings and immortal-foundation characters were trapped here and the map was left untouched. Could it be the treasure that concealed the secret of the underground palace? However, the greed of humans was incomprehensible. They were only willing to believe what they wanted. Just like Xuan Xing, he was certain that Qin Wentian must have obtained something. If not, how could he accomplish something that others couldn't?
"Is this the end?" Qin Wentian laughed mockingly. "I'm trying to find a way out, yet there are people who want to kill me. Now that you guys have agreed not to kill me, can this matter be considered settled?"
"What do you want?" The countenance of the genius who acted against Qin Wentian turned cold as he spoke.
Qin Wentian had a cold smile on his face. He pointed his finger at the genius's face as he coldly spoke, "Kill him. If not, you guys can find your own way out. None of you can even think about leaving."
At the instant the sound of his voice faded, Qin Wentian's entire body was filled with coldness. Did this person really think that his temper was very good?
"BOOM!" That person roared and stepped out. His aura was terrifying as a terrifying pressure bore down on Qin Wentian.
Yet at this moment, Qin Wentian directly closed his eyes, as though he was waiting to be slaughtered.
"Stop!" Someone roared. Numerous silhouettes flickered, directly surrounding that person.
"What do you guys want to do?" That genius roared.
"Qin Wentian, the City of Ancient Emperors doesn't kill people. Why must you do this?" Someone spoke.
"Are you blind? Before this, why didn't you tell him that he wanted to kill me?" Qin Wentian coldly spoke. That genius who was surrounded by the crowd radiated a terrifying aura, as though he was prepared to attack at any moment.
"DO IT!" A cold voice rang out as a powerful freezing energy bore down. It was actually Xiao Lengyue who took the initiative to act. Not only that, there were several experts from the Xiao Sect who acted at the same time as her. Terrifying golden chains shot out from the diagram on the ground, directly binding the two geniuses. Divine Inscriptionists acted, restricting the movements of the two geniuses so that they wouldn't take out their immortal-ranked weapons, resulting in casualties.
At this instant, rumbling auras gushed forth. Those people who didn't seem to have any intentions to act earlier all acted at the same time. Their decisiveness and ruthlessness caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. That encircled genius howled in rage, wanting to take out his immortal weapon only to discover that countless attacks were raining down on him at the same time. His strength was restricted and his limbs were locked. Towering auras gushed forth at the same time. This was simply a path of no return.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Qin Wentian watched everything that was happening indifferently. He felt a chill in his heart. For the sake of self-interest, the so-called rule of not killing was useless. Once these geniuses showed their fangs, they would be more decisive and terrifying than anyone else. He couldn't help but think of himself. These people thought that he had obtained some kind of treasure. If so, what would the consequences be once he went out?
"Qin Wentian, just focus on finding a way out. Since you are a member of my Xiao Sect, I naturally won't allow anything to happen to you." At this moment, Xiao Lengyue spoke in a tone filled with meaning, as though hinting at something.
"Right." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. He could roughly guess Xiao Lengyue's thoughts.
Qin Wentian walked to a corner and glanced at the crowd. After that, he sat down cross-legged and ignored the crowd, entering into a state of enlightenment.
He believed that after this, no one would dare to act against him again. At the very least, before he exited the underground palace, no one would be so foolish as to dig their own graves.
Xiao Lengyue and the others stared at Qin Wentian, each with their own ulterior motives in their hearts. Xuan Xing glanced at Xiao Lengyue, he could already guess what Xiao Lengyue was thinking. Most probably, Xiao Lengyue would do everything she could to protect Qin Wentian. Even after they exited the underground palace, she would still do so.
Qin Wentian and Di Tian, the two of them, were still in the midst of comprehending. They stood in the center of the gigantic palm imprint, carefully contemplating. However, how could it be so easy to comprehend the art left behind by an ancient emperor? Time flowed by bit by bit. In the blink of an eye, another month passed. Today, Qin Wentian finally gained a trace of enlightenment. God's Hand. Maybe, he finally understood the true meaning of God's Hand.
However, he was still immersed in his state of enlightenment. Only after several days did Qin Wentian's eyes abruptly opened as he spoke in a low voice, "I understand now."
Instantly, numerous gazes turned to Qin Wentian, staring at him.
"Qin Wentian, have you found the secret of the underground palace?" Xiao Lengyue's silhouette flickered as she appeared beside Qin Wentian. Her beautiful eyes involuntarily trembled. After being trapped here for half a year, one could very well imagine how anxious they were in their hearts. It was just that they had been suppressing their emotions all this while. Only when they looked at Qin Wentian did they finally see a trace of hope.
Right now, a single sentence from Qin Wentian undoubtedly stirred the hearts of everyone. Their gazes all turned to Qin Wentian.
"Maybe, but we will only know after we try." Qin Wentian spoke, his words causing the eyes of everyone to gleam with sharpness.
"Go ahead then." Xiao Lengyue spoke.
Qin Wentian stood up and stared at everyone as he spoke, "It's somewhat difficult for me to do this alone. I hope those who cultivate in divine inscriptions can cooperate with me and light up all the divine inscriptions in the underground palace."
"You mean to activate all the divine inscriptions in the underground palace?" Xuan Xing walked over and stared at Qin Wentian. "Are you sure this won't cause a catastrophic disaster?"
"I've said it before, you basically don't understand." Qin Wentian coldly glanced at Xuan Xing. "It's up to you whether you want to believe it or not. If no one is willing to cooperate, forgive me for being powerless. You guys can think of a way to exit this place yourselves!"
"You …" Xuan Xing pointed his finger at Qin Wentian as anger gushed forth. "Fine, we will do as you say."
