Qin Wentian's current cultivation base was at the 6th level of Arterial Circulation. A year from now, he should be able to step into the peak of the Arterial Circulation Realm. This year's time was sufficient for Qin Wentian to stabilize his cultivation base and strengthen the abilities bestowed by his Astral Souls in combat. At that time, during the Jun Lin Banquet, Qin Wentian would be able to contend for the position of the top ranker.
"Pinning my hopes on others?" Qin Wentian mumbled. He had already experienced Luo Qianqiu's combat prowess. Although Luo Qianqiu had yet to unleash his full strength, he was already strong enough. If it weren't for the fact that Qin Wentian had made the first move, the ending would have been different. Since Luo Qianqiu wanted to enter the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, Qin Wentian would naturally not underestimate him.
Luo Qianqiu originated from the Nine Mystical Palace. Naturally, Qin Wentian wouldn't underestimate him. Luo Qianqiu definitely had his own trump cards.
"Even if the chances for this year's Jun Lin Banquet aren't high, I still have to try." Qin Wentian spoke.
"I think so too. It's just that the Jun Lin Banquet has a certain degree of danger. Luo Qianqiu, Orchon, and the rest will all be participating. Just treat this as a tempering exercise for yourself. If you really can't handle it, just withdraw. Be careful." Mustang spoke to Qin Wentian.
Currently, the Emperor Star Academy had high hopes for Qin Wentian.
Mustang understood what this high hopes meant. The 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion was the pathway to the 8th and 9th levels.
Back then, the founder of the Emperor Star Academy, the Azure Emperor, had left behind the Heavenly Star Pavilion. In the long river of history, there had never been a single person who managed to enter the 9th level.
The upper echelons of the Emperor Star Academy had always hoped that one day, a disciple with outstanding character and talent would appear, creating history.
"Teacher, can I enter the 6th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion now?" Qin Wentian laughed foolishly, causing Mustang to roll his eyes. "You want to open the back door? Now that you can inscribe 3rd level Divine Inscriptions, it shouldn't be too difficult for you to obtain more Yuan Meteor Stones. No matter what, you should at least contribute to the academy. "
Qin Wentian's countenance sank, only to hear Mustang continuing, "How about this, you can upgrade your Emperor Star Jade Medallion to the 4th level, and as for the amount of Yuan Meteor Stones required to upgrade it from the 4th level to the 5th level, you can tell the elder over there to put it under my name. This way, you will be able to enter the 5th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. As for the higher levels, you will have to think of your own methods."
"Thank you, Teacher." Qin Wentian's expression changed. The fifth level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion. This way, he would be able to come into contact with a sea of earth-class mid-grade sacred arts.
"Teacher, what about me? What about me?" Fatty pointed to himself, his eyes flickering unceasingly.
"Stay here and cultivate with me." Mustang glared at Fan Le, "If you were more diligent in your cultivation, you wouldn't have been left behind by Wentian."
Fatty had a bitter expression on his face as he nodded his head. During this period of time when Qin Wentian was missing, Mustang had frequently guided him in his cultivation, and treated him extremely well. For this, Fan Le was naturally very grateful.
Luo Huan also smiled. This Fatty's talent was very good, but he was too lazy. Even so, his current cultivation base was already at the 5th level of Arterial Circulation, and he could already be considered one of the strongest among the new students.
"Fatty, I will help you upgrade your Emperor Star Jade Medallion to the 4th level," Qin Wentian spoke to Fan Le, causing Fan Le's eyes to widen as he replied, "Good brother."
"Teacher, we will take our leave first." Qin Wentian bade farewell to Fan Le, before departing with Luo Huan.
Mustang lowered his head, staring at the gigantic circle he had drawn. Qin Wentian and Fan Le didn't ask what this gigantic circle was, because they didn't want to bite off more than they could chew. To them, the Nine Mystical Palace was already an unfathomable existence. The power represented by this gigantic circle wasn't something they could imagine.
After Qin Wentian and the rest left, a silhouette appeared behind Mustang.
Mustang stood up and bowed to the person who had just arrived, "Old Ren, why don't you let this little brat upgrade his Emperor Star Jade Medallion by himself?"
Evidently, the Academy had already opened the back door for Qin Wentian by giving him the name of Mustang.
"He has already cultivated the Thousand Hands Imprint to the 3rd stance, the Emptiness Imprint. It's a mid-tier Earth-Grade innate technique, and he can already unleash its full potential. The 5th level is just right for him. I hope that he will be able to grow faster, and it would be best if we can give him a huge amount of pressure during the upcoming Jun Lin Banquet. Pressure is also the motivation for him to advance." Old Ren spoke with a deep meaning in his words. "I hope that my judgement this time around will be able to atone for my mistakes in the past."
Mustang stared at Old Ren as he sighed in his heart. It seemed like Old Ren still felt heartache and self-blame for nurturing Luo Qianqiu's father.
After Qin Wentian upgraded his Emperor Star Jade Medallion to the 5th level, he once again entered the Heavenly Star Pavilion. Finally, he chose two innate techniques, both of which were mid-tier Earth-Grade innate techniques. Since he could cultivate the Thousand Hands Imprint to the Emptiness Imprint level, this indicated that he had already comprehended and cultivated innate techniques of this level.
Innate technique, Falling Mountain Palms. This was a set of palm techniques that were linked together. As one's mastery of it increased, the might of the palm techniques would grow stronger and stronger. At the pinnacle of mastery, every palm strike would be akin to the descent of a mountain peak.
As to why Qin Wentian chose the Falling Mountain Palms, it was because he had a Divine Imprint that was compatible with it. This Divine Imprint was akin to a mountain peak, and was a 2nd-level Divine Imprint. Previously, Qin Wentian had tried to condense Divine Energy using this Divine Imprint, but the speed was extremely slow, and the consumption of Astral Energy was even greater. However, he was already able to do so. During his battle with Luo Qianqiu, he had condensed some Divine Energy from this Divine Imprint, allowing him to unleash a tyrannical might.
Now, the speed at which he condensed Divine Energy from his palms was getting faster and faster. Sooner or later, he would step into the 2nd level of the Spiritual Refinement Method. At that time, he would be able to condense Divine Energy from this mountain-like Divine Energy. Even now, he could still condense some of it and store it in his acupuncture points as a trump card.
The second innate technique that Qin Wentian chose was the Berserk Beast Halberd Technique. It had a total of 4 stances and 36 variations. The 4 stances were respectively the Azure Dragon Stance, White Tiger Stance, Vermillion Bird Stance, and Black Tortoise Stance. Each stance contained 9 variations, flowing like the clouds and flowing like water, in a single breath, possessing both offensive and defensive capabilities.
The innate techniques in the Heavenly Star Pavilion of the Emperor Star Academy were all-encompassing. There were sword techniques, sabre techniques, spear techniques, halberd techniques, etc. Qin Wentian felt that the tyrannical nature of his Heavenly Hammer Constellation Technique, as well as the tyrannical nature of his Astral Energy, were extremely compatible with the tyrannical nature of the ancient halberd. After seeing the Berserk Beast Halberd Technique, he didn't hesitate and immediately decided to cultivate it.
As such, in terms of pure offensive innate techniques, he already had the Thousand Hands Imprint and the Falling Mountain Palms. In terms of both offense and defense, he had the Berserk Beast Halberd Technique. As for movement techniques, he had the 9 Heavenly Garuda Movement Technique. If he could cultivate all of these to perfection, his combat prowess would definitely be greatly enhanced.
Three days later, in an exquisite courtyard within the Emperor Star Academy, beside a pond, Qin Wentian slept with his eyes closed, oblivious to the happenings in the outside world.
In the Emperor Star Academy, once a student's jade medallion reached the 4th level, they would be able to choose a courtyard to stay in. Naturally, Qin Wentian could do so.
Naturally, Qin Wentian wasn't just sleeping. In his dreams, there was a sea that was crazily roaring. Beside the sea, there was a silhouette wielding an ancient halberd. Every time the halberd danced, it was as though a ferocious tiger was howling in rage. The howling of the tiger was akin to the howling of a pack of tigers in the forest.
A gigantic wave slammed against the sea. The silhouette's halberd technique changed, and the wind and rain were impenetrable. In front of him, an incomparably gigantic Xuanwu appeared, swallowing and spitting out waves.
At this moment, the silhouette took a step forward, and his entire person transformed into a Garuda, soaring upwards. With a howl of rage, the ancient halberd transformed into the Azure Dragon Stance, as numerous Azure Dragons roared in the direction of the sea.
After a long period of time, the silhouette landed on the ground, and sat down on the beach.
This silhouette was none other than Qin Wentian.
Since it was a dream, it could be magnified. Why not have a grand dream? Imagine yourself to be stronger, and unleash the full power of the innate techniques. This way, the acceptance of the innate techniques would be stronger.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the sky. The sky wasn't the sky, but rather, it was a gigantic painting, the Painting of Rivers and Mountains.
Every stroke of the brush formed mountains, rivers, and earth, as well as a supreme innate technique.
Qin Wentian's gaze gradually sank into contemplation.
Every stroke of the brush could form mountains, rivers, and earth. The mountains, rivers, and earth seemed to be formed from the inscriptions of the painting.
Divine Imprints could also be used to form Divine Energy.
As he cultivated the innate techniques, he discovered that the method of exerting force was extremely similar to that of Divine Imprints. For example, the Falling Mountain Palms. When he exerted force, he controlled his True Yuan, transforming it into a mountain peak that smashed downwards. When he condensed the Mountain Divine Energy, his attack was extremely similar to the Falling Mountain Palms. It was just that the Falling Mountain Palms was much more complex, yet they achieved the same result through different means.
Qin Wentian had a bold thought. Could innate techniques be derived from Divine Imprints?
Staring at the Painting of Rivers and Mountains that hung in the air, Qin Wentian sank into contemplation.
Even if others discovered something unusual, they wouldn't think too deeply about it. Even if they thought about it, only an extremely small number of people would explore it. Because, not all Stellar Martial Cultivators were like Qin Wentian, possessing the Spirit Refinement Method and the Painting of Rivers and Mountains, as well as having extraordinary attainments in inscribing Divine Imprints.
After visualizing for three days, Qin Wentian still didn't obtain an answer. However, Qin Wentian was still elated. Because, his understanding of innate techniques seemed to have deepened. Maybe, he would be able to comprehend them according to his own way of thinking.
Only to see Qin Wentian inscribing on the ground. Every stroke of his brush seemed to contain a mysterious energy within. This time around, he didn't condense the Divine Imprint within his body. Instead, he used his hands to attempt to inscribe the Divine Imprint of his own imagination.
The marvelousness of Divine Imprints lay in the fact that the Divine Imprints created by the predecessors were all extremely perfect. As long as there was a single mistake, the Divine Imprint would lose its original strength. Hence, if one wanted to rely on their own strength to create a complete Divine Imprint, it was an extremely difficult task. Qin Wentian wanted to try it out.
The Painting of Rivers and Mountains in the air, wasn't it an attempt by the green-robed middle-aged man to comprehend his own insights?!
