Qin Wentian glanced at his companions as he smiled, "All of you have broken through. In this case, now that all of us are at the same cultivation level, we might even have a chance to become immortals together."
"My luck is good, to think that I would be able to encounter the Sacred Luminance here. If not, I'm still some distance away from the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon and wouldn't be able to break through so quickly." Jun Mengchen laughed.
"If you put it this way, Princess Qing 'er and I would be at a disadvantage. Initially, we were already at the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon." Namhwang Yunxi's mood seemed to be extremely good, she also joked, "For such an ancient treasure, it's not strange for it to break through two levels. Our luck is very good, but it can also be said that it's not that good. If we wait until we break through to the immortal realm before we undergo the baptism of the Sacred Luminance, our potential would be even greater."
"Is there really no way to bring the Sacred Luminance away?" Qin Wentian stared at the Sacred Luminance with reluctance in his heart. Such an ancient treasure, how good would it be if he could give it to Qingcheng? If that's the case, Qingcheng's cultivation would be able to catch up a little and wouldn't be too far behind.
"It's not impossible. The Sacred Luminance is a type of ancient holy light. If we want to bring it away and store it, the only way is to borrow the power of an ancient holy treasure. But do you have such a treasure?" Namhwang Yunxi smiled. For treasures like ancient holy treasures, let alone Qin Wentian, even in the entire immortal realms, there shouldn't be many who possessed them. Even if they existed, they would all be treasures passed down through the generations by experts from the various peak powers.
Qin Wentian shrugged, "Since this Antiquity City has the Sacred Luminance, maybe our luck is good and we might really be able to obtain an ancient holy treasure."
"I also hope to have such luck." Namhwang Yunxi's beautiful eyes contained a faint smile. This Qin Wentian was truly greedy. He actually wanted to obtain an ancient treasure.
At this moment, a long screech rang out from within the Sacred Luminance. Purgatory, who was immersed in the Sacred Luminance, was bathed in flames as his body was reconstructed. He was originally a spirit that was nurtured by Qin Wentian's bloodline and had his own intelligence. Now that he underwent the baptism of the Sacred Luminance, he seemed to have undergone a transformation as his true body was forged. His body was covered in runic light, exuding an incomparably domineering aura, resembling a true demonic divine bird.
Purgatory turned into a streak of red lightning, descending above Qin Wentian's head. It circled around and released a long cry, feeling extremely excited. Irregular phenomena appeared in the heavens, radiance intimidating.
"Congratulations, Purgatory." Qin Wentian smiled. Purgatory slowly descended, hovering above Qin Wentian's shoulder, using its wings to stroke Qin Wentian's body.
"Senior Brother, what should we do with this fellow?" Jun Mengchen stared at Mo Xie as he asked.
"If he knows that we want to deal with him, he would definitely hide within the Sacred Luminance and not come out. Let's continue forward, there might be other good fortune in this Antiquity City. It's not worth wasting time on him. Now, Mo Xie is no longer a threat to us." Qin Wentian replied. Jun Mengchen coldly glanced at Mo Xie, "We can only spare him for now."
Jun Mengchen understood as well. Now that their group had all broken through to the peak of Celestial Phenomenon, the threat Mo Xie posed to them was already very small. If they were to fight again like before in the Underworld Mountains, regardless of whether it was the Violet Sect or the Evil Palace, both sides would have to pay a heavy price.
"Let's move out, let's take a good look at this Antiquity City." Qin Wentian floated in the air, his entire body shimmering with runic light, resembling a wind roc.
"Let's go." Jun Mengchen stepped out in large strides, as the rest of them continued forward, heading towards the depths of the Antiquity City.
"What's that?" Qin Wentian stared at a direction on his left. There seemed to be flames soaring up to the skies, resembling the eruption of a volcano. Lava gushed out ferociously, its color as red as blood, dying the sky red as it transformed into towering flames that could destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth.
"Such a flame isn't something we can imagine. There's no need to bother about it." Namhwang Yunxi was more familiar with flames. Just by looking at the color of the flame, she knew that it wasn't something they could imagine.
Qin Wentian and the rest continued forward, seeing many strange sights. These sights were too terrifying, there was the Underworld River that could corrode everything, there was also the Void Fragmentation Current that could destroy everything. They didn't even dare to get close to these sights.
These sights were extremely attractive to immortal emperors. Immortal emperors might be able to use these sights to break through to the next realm, but Qin Wentian and the rest were only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. They were simply too weak, they didn't even dare to get close to these sights.
Finally, there was no more path ahead. Under the starry sky, boundless starlight cascaded down on this Antiquity City. Numerous spatial gates appeared in the ancient city. These spatial gates were like ancient existences, able to connect to the heavens above the starry sky. This place seemed to be the end of the Antiquity City, but also the starting point. It was as though one could truly step into the starry sky through these spatial gates and see the ancient kings.
"It seems like there's no more path ahead," Jun Mengchen stared at the spatial gates in front of them and asked in a low voice, "What's inside?"
"The ancient path of the starry sky." Namhwang Yunxi's beautiful eyes stared ahead. She slowly lifted her head and stared at the heavens, "In this Antiquity City, I've seen too many ancient legends. The ancient path of the starry sky has also appeared. This is an ancient path for worshipping the gods."
"What do you mean?" Qin Wentian asked.
"The Sacred Luminance is a type of sacred light in the legends. The ancient path of the starry sky is also related to the legends of the ancient era. There are records in the ancient records that if you encounter a spatial gate that connects to the heavens, that means you've encountered the ancient path of the starry sky. This is a trial bestowed by the divinities, and if you can pass all of them, you would have a chance to worship the divinities. After seeing the ancient path of the starry sky, I finally understand why the City of Ancient Emperors exists."
Namhwang Yunxi finally understood the greatest secret of the City of Ancient Emperors. Maybe the Southern Matriarch of the Namhwang Clan knew something, but because her cultivation base was weak, she didn't tell her. But now that she had discovered the secret, she couldn't help but feel waves of emotions in her heart.
"You are saying that the reason for the existence of the City of Ancient Emperors is to worship the divinities?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Regardless of today or in the ancient era, is the peak of the immortal emperor realm the limit of cultivation? Is there an even higher realm above that they couldn't reach? But they still yearn for it? " Namhwang Yunxi's voice was solemn as she slowly spoke, "For ancient emperors, they must have spent their entire lives in pursuit of that higher realm. In that case, there's only one path, and that is to search for a divine relic. And the Antiquity City we are in right now is none other than a divine relic. Hence, many ancient emperors all headed there. Maybe they found it, but I don't know if any of them managed to pass through the ancient pathway and met with the divinities."
"Divine relic?" Qin Wentian mumbled. "Since it's a divine relic, I have no choice but to take a look at it."
"You are only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm." Namhwang Yunxi exclaimed in shock.
"Since it's a divine relic, they should have considered the possibility that there would be people of different cultivation realms who entered the ancient pathway in the future, right? I'm already at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon, and I'm about to become an immortal. Now that I've seen the pathway, how can I not take a look?" Qin Wentian's heart surged with emotions. His words caused Namhwang Yunxi's heart to tremble.
Peak of Celestial Phenomenon, on the verge of becoming an immortal? Once he stepped into immortal-foundation, he would be at the sixth level of cultivation. Indeed, he should be looking further ahead.
"In addition, I also wish to walk the path of ancient emperors." Qin Wentian's arrogance towered up to the clouds. His gaze was incomparably sharp as he stared ahead.
Ever since he was young, he had stepped onto the path of cultivation and experienced five great cultivation realms. Body Refinement Realm, Arterial Circulation Realm, Yuanfu Realm, Heavenly Dipper Realm and Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Now, he was already at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon. One more step and he would be at the sixth level, the immortal-foundation Realm.
The immortal-foundation Realm was the beginning of the path of experts. One would be able to dominate a particle world, and above that, the immortal realms would be the king.
The seventh level, the immortal king realm, was the immortal king realm.
On the path of cultivation, would there be a higher level?
This Antiquity City, the ancient pathway in the starry space, was the path of an immortal king. Although he hadn't become an immortal yet, he still wanted to take a look.
"I wish to take a look as well." Jun Mengchen clenched his fists tightly as a fiery light flashed in his eyes.
Namhwang Yunxi stared at the two of them, feeling a sense of heroism in her heart. "Fine, since we've already made a trip here, let's take a look at the ancient pathway. But if there's any real danger, don't forget to retreat if you can."
"Let's go." Jun Mengchen was somewhat impatient. Qin Wentian glanced at Qing 'er as he held her hand, "Qing' er."
"If you go, I'll go too." Qing 'er seemed to know what Qin Wentian wanted to say. Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly as he stared at her, "You must remember to protect yourself."
"Mhm." Qing 'er nodded. After that, the two of them walked towards the ancient pathway and stepped into the Astral Gate.
Instantly, Qin Wentian appeared in another part of the void. This was a world of nothingness. Qing 'er and the others were no longer here. He was the only one here. Beams of light cascaded down on him and abruptly, an incomparably scorching heat radiated outwards. In this world of nothingness, there seemed to be a fearsome ferocious bird rushing towards him. This ferocious bird had a malevolent look to it, something that Qin Wentian had never seen before. It appeared before him in the blink of an eye, its incomparably sharp claws slashed out, capable of ripping apart everything.
Qin Wentian's aura instantly gushed forth as resplendent runic light circulated around him. It was as though he could destroy his enemies with just his fleshly body alone. His palms blasted out with enough power to shatter the sun, moon and constellations.
A thunderous boom rang out as Qin Wentian was forced backwards. The body of the ferocious bird shone with blood-colored light as runic inscriptions illuminated the skies, containing a boundless ferocious might. It was like a devilish bird from the Primordial Era, and its aura far surpassed all the other experts Qin Wentian had met at the same level as him, including Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie.
The ferocious bird's eyes could envelop people, causing them to sink into a trance. It rushed out once more, leaving behind only an afterimage as boundless runic light blasted out. Qin Wentian only felt the sky changing color as numerous terrifying demonic birds blotted out the sun, wanting to tear him into pieces.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. As expected of the ancient pathway in the starry skies. This test was simply too terrifying. However, the more it was so, the stronger his battle intent grew. If he could pass this ancient pathway, would there be a divine miracle waiting for him?
With a roar of rage, Qin Wentian's body instantly manifested boundless divine energy of a great roc. He blasted out with his palms, his palms capable of shattering the dome of the heavens. He frenziedly clashed against the attacks of the ferocious bird, causing a chaotic shockwave to engulf the entire space. Qin Wentian was long prepared for this. His palms circulated with a fearsome light, gleaming with a hint of platinum, as well as a demonic blood-colored glow. He directly blasted out, causing another thunderous boom to echo out.
After that, the ferocious bird continued its frenzied attacks. Qin Wentian's physique clashed against it. Right now, Qin Wentian's aura was extremely powerful, and his body was clad in a blood-colored platinum armor. It was unknown how many times stronger he was compared to before. His attacks caused the entire space to tremble violently. Finally, with a heaven-shaking roar, Qin Wentian's body expanded, and both his palms actually grabbed onto the wings of the ferocious bird. With a loud roar, blood-colored light flashed as Qin Wentian forcefully tore apart the fearsome body of the ferocious bird!
