The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 176: Map

Inside the Star Emperor Academy, inside the residence, several Elders crowded together as they looked at the figure lying on the bed. Worry and anxiety could be seen reflected in their eyes.

"How are you?" Ren Qianxing hurriedly asked as she looked at the Elder sitting beside the bed.

“Any, weird. His life force was overjoyed, and there was a powerful energy in his blood. His blood circulates in his heart, providing protection, and he recovers now even as we speak, "said the Elder in a low voice, his tone filled with astonishment. A very pitiful wound, if it were some other cultivator suffering from this, they would have already died.

"There's no danger to his life?" Ren Qianxing asked again.

"none. With his vitality, he only needs time before he fully recovers, ” replied the Elder.

After hearing this, the Elders in the room all clenched their hands, sighing in relief as worries melted from their faces.

"More." Qin Yao's tears turned into happiness. He sat by the bed, gently stroking Qin Wentian's forehead. His face was covered in tears; he was almost frightened to death. The attacker had struck Qin Wentian in his heart.

“Everything, disperse. For a while lock this news and send people to stand guard here. "Ren Qianxing's Order. In response, the Elders left one by one. Only the Elder who was proficient in healing remained left behind. Even now, he was still muttering in astonishment; how could someone in the Artery Circulation Realm have such a level of vitality? Very stunning.

Luo Huan walked forward with a brilliant smile engraved on his face. "Wentian, Mountain is past, so don't you dare leave your Big Sister alone here."

After saying that, he also turned to leave. As soon as he turned around, his cheerful smile disappeared completely. Replacing the smile was an icy cold expression — Mystic Nine Palaces, Chu Imperial Clan.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed. During these three days, the conflict between the two academies escalated to an unimaginable level. As of now, they had already stopped sending the Arterial Circulation Cultivator formation into a clash. Instead, Yuanfu cultivators were ordered to directly hunt down the students from the opposing academy. Therefore, the students in the Arterial Circulation Realm all stayed in their respective academies, not daring to go out. Once they got out of the protection zone, only death awaited them.

The two academies had already completely destroyed all pretenses.

Even Chu Tianjiao himself did not dare to move hastily. Given how furious the Star Emperor Academy was, there was a high chance that they could kill him.

In these three days, news of the deaths and casualties from both sides were endlessly spreading. The most dangerous battle was when the Star Emperor Academy walked into an ambush conducted by the Royal Academy. Fortunately, the reinforcement arrived in time, and after that battle, a total of four people at the Yuanfu level, and eight people at the Arterial Circulation level had fallen. The storm of war had completely engulfed the entire Royal Capital.

In the Star Emperor Academy, Qin Wentian was still unconscious. At this moment, there were two extremely beautiful girls sitting by his side.

"Qingcheng, thank you for your efforts these past few days." Qin Yao had an expression of gratitude on her face as she looked at Mo Qingcheng.

“Do not worry, this is what I have to do. I am very good at this. "Mo Qingcheng smiled, after which, he continued to feed Qin Wentian's spoon with medicinal soup.

Gazing at Mo Qingcheng's side profile, Qin Yao was slightly stunned before recovering with a smile on her face. "It would be great if only you could take care of her like this forever."

"Haha of course, I'm so happy." Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly, but suddenly, after deciphering the meaning behind Qin Yao's words, he turned red as he blinked at Qin Yao, "Hmm what I'm talking about is until he wakes up."

"Mmm, that's what I mean. What do you think I mean? ”Qin Yao grinned. Mo Qingcheng could only scold himself for talking too much.

"Huh, I don't know when she's gonna wake up." Qin Yao's face was painted by worry once again.

"Don't worry. He'll be up soon. "Mo Qingcheng comforted him. Actually, he also knew the extent of Qin Wentian's injury. No one knows exactly when he will wake up.

"Hm." Qin Yao lightly nodded. "Qingcheng, I'll go see if the medicinal soup has been boiled. I'll bring a new bowl later. "

After speaking, Qin Yao left. Mo Qingcheng scooped up the medicinal soup with a spoon and fed it to Qin Wentian. Afterwards, she gently wiped her lips as she muttered, “Dumbo, this is already the second time I have boiled the medicinal herbs and fed you. You should get well soon, okay? "

Mo Qingcheng propped up his chin with his hand as he stared blankly at Qin Wentian. He never expected that the person who would be boiled his medicine twice was Qin Wentian. Maybe this is destiny?

Looking at that handsome face, he thought he looked very peaceful. He still remembered that the first time he met her, she was still rather gentle and immature. This year, he had gone through a great deal of suffering, and now he was even close to throwing away his life. It's really stupid.

As he lost himself in his musings, Mo Qingcheng somehow subconsciously extended his hand and pinched Qin Wentian on his cheek, revealing a mischievous expression. This guy's not ugly at all.

It seemed as if Qin Wentian could sense something. His eyelashes twitched as his eyes slowly opened. After which, he saw an peerless face showing a frantic-like expression with his fingers pinching his face.

Swish! Mo Qingcheng withdrew his hand at lightning speed. When he saw the puzzled look on Qin Wentian's face, his face instantly flushed red, hoping for nothing else for the earth to swallow his entire body now.

"I'm just trying to test if you can feel something. It seems I'm a psychic, because you're really awake. "Mo Qingcheng acted like a professional actress while smiling widely. However, Qin Wentian did not say anything, only silently looking at him, causing his already flushed face color to deepen.

Seeing the bashful expression on Mo Qingcheng's face, Qin Wentian's heart thumped fiercely. Mo Qingcheng, at this moment, was extremely beautiful. She's gorgeous.

"Come here." The Qin Wentian. Mo Qingcheng's eyelashes fluttered; he blinked his eyes as he lowered his head, bringing his face closer to Qin Wentian. His heart was pounding, he had never been this big before.

Only to see Qin Wentian reach out with his hand, pinching his cheek a few times before smiling, "This is only fair now."

Mo Qingcheng froze, slightly trembling. He was confused, unsure what to do.

Today, Mo Qingcheng seemed to be busy and dazed. Seeing his timid expression, Qin Wentian would occasionally tease him about it. Upon seeing this, Qin Yao was extremely happy; it seemed like it was truly an opportunity for Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng to be together.

In the coming days, Qin Wentian recovered at a crazy speed. On the fifth day, he was already able to get up and cultivate. The storm that struck the Royal Capital had still not receded, but the hard struggle inside seemed to be very far away from Qin Wentian.

Mustang, Luo Huan and the others would occasionally visit Qin Wentian. They refused to tell him the news from outside but instead told him to focus on his cultivation. Not only that, Mustang repeatedly instructed him not to leave this place until he entered Yuanfu, and that he was not allowed to participate in the struggle outside of the academy. This caused Qin Wentian to smile bitterly; it was because the Star Emperor Academy was afraid that a similar incident would happen again and did not want him to risk it himself.

Qin Wentian also did not want to make things difficult for the academy, so he secretly focused on his cultivation. Finally, a month after that incident, Qin Wentian managed to break through to level 9, stepping into the peak of the Arterial Circulation. He was now only one step away from Yuanfu.

After breaking through to the 9th level of the Arterial Circulation, Qin Wentian spent a few more days consolidating his foundation while also not forgetting to practice his innate techniques further.

Currently, for the Thousand Hands Imprint innate technique, Qin Wentian had already mastered the position of 4 – Kuji Imprint. The mastery of other innate techniques, the Falling Mountain Palms as well as the Berserker Beast Halbert Art, also grew increasingly complete.

Today, Qin Wentian had once again come to the Heavenly Star Pavilion. After passing the guardian on the 7th level ladder, he lowered his head respectfully.

Just seeing the old man open his eyes, was like a light that could be seen in his previously cloudy eyes. "Are you confident?"

"Let's try." Qin Wentian spoke. The old man turned his head, closed his eyes as Qin Wentian walked past him and stood in front of the door to the 9th level entrance, which had never been opened before.

What exactly was the secret hidden within the 9th floor of the Heavenly Star Pavilion?

The radiating sound echoed as the Divine Energy in his body circulated in madness. Stepping forward, he slammed one of his palms into the door, causing it to tremble violently. Upon seeing this, the guard's heart also trembled.

Qin Wentian took a step back. The Divine Energy within his body continued to surge as he charged once more. This time, he blasted forward with both palms, executing the Falling Mountain Palms and Kuji Imprint into the entrance.

BOOM UP! Echoes echoed from the impact causing the structure of the entire Heavenly Star Pavilion to shudder. The students in the academy curiously turned their eyes to the Pavilion, wondering who was up there.

His old spear appeared in his hand. Regardless of the enhancing effects of the Divine Weapon, the power that the Artery Circulation Cultivator could unleash, still had a limit. Thus, the guardian did not stop him from using the Divine Weapon to assist him in his quest.

At that moment, Qin Wentian's blood started to boil. Taking a step forward, an aura of absolute obedience permeated the air. His entire demeanor turned into a demon when the ancient spear in his hand was explosively cut off.

Pfft! The old guardian's eyes suddenly snapped open as a terrifying terrifying light flickered into existence.

Qin Wentian succeeded. He really forced the door open!

Qin Wentian was also very excited. Walking forward, he was trying to discover what exactly the secret hidden in the tier 9 Heavenly Star Pavilion was. However, what caused Qin Wentian to be confused was that behind the door, there was only empty space. This place looked very ordinary, very different from tier 7 and 8. There was only a very ancient-looking map scroll lying there.

Unrolling the map, a puzzled expression dyed his face. This ... This is a map.

Was the last secret that the Azure Emperor had hidden in the 9th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion actually just a map?

Qin Wentian had never come out of Chu, so he naturally did not understand what the map was trying to depict. After saving it, he walked out, but the old guardian stood in front of him, blocking his path.

"Senior." Qin Wentian respectfully called out.

“From today onwards, the level 8 and 9 of the Heavenly Star Pavilion will no longer exist. Level 7 will be opened for talented genius students in the academy. As for what you have obtained here, you do not need to mention it to others, the ”guardian instructed.

"Understood." Qin Wentian nodded. He fully understood the logic behind why it was a calamity for one to possess a secret that one could not protect.

After this, Qin Wentian did not leave immediately. Instead, he entered the entrance to level 7, heading towards the Spirit Beast Testing Grounds. This time, he did not meet many others, only a large number of demonic beasts.

Qin Wentian did not know that at this moment, there was a huge commotion within the Star Emperor Academy.

Outside of the academy, rows of Elders and students stood together welcomingly. In the distant horizon, a line of silhouettes mounted demonic beasts as they rode, while in the air, several figures surged, stopping in the airspace above the Star Emperor Academy. Their gazes were all haughty and sharp, as if they were unrivalled in the world.

If Qin Wentian was here, he would find that among the newcomers, there was one person he knew. This person was none other than Yue Qingfeng, the genius from the Azure Emperor Palace he had met before at the Spirit Beast Testing Site.

The Star Emperor Academy only received the news two days ago that the people from the Azure Emperor Palace would pay a visit to them. As to what the reason for the visit was, they were all unclear. They could only unite people to welcome this 'reinforcement' of a transcendent power that had similar roots.

Not only the Azure Emperor Palace. Today, there were many powerful experts coming to Chu.

In the Royal Palace, Xiao Lan furrowed her brows. He did not expect the news to leak so quickly, the news that the Azure Emperor had hidden his greatest secret inside the Star Emperor Academy.

If this secret were to really leak out, not to mention a small country like Chu, even the entirety of the Grand Xia Empire would falter.
