The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 03: The Resurrection of a Genius

As he watched Bai Qingsong and his men leave, Qin Wentian could not help the coldness of winter that was eating away at his soul. Within the time of one night, all the roots of the relationship that had been built between them seemed to have been cut off instantly – The once harmonious Uncle Bai actually had the intention to kill him!

Even though Qin Wentian's mental state and temperament became overwhelming, he could still feel numbness in his heart, making him unable to calm down for a long period of time. Finally, after Qin Wentian took a deep breath, a shadow of a smile gradually reappeared on his slightly immature face. What if human relationships are thin? He just needs to be himself. He knew that the kindness shown to him by his adoptive father was as weighty as the mountain, and then there was still Qing'er; he unhesitatingly went behind his own father, and warned him of the danger.

However, Qin Wentian now had no time to process his thoughts – he only knew that he had to break away from his current situation, and it seemed like cultivating was the only way to do so.

Qin Wentian sat cross-legged, glancing at the piece of rock that was always hanging on his chest, as he said, "That old fucking fog. Uncle Black said that the only thing you left for me, was this piece of rock. Don't pull me to hell to meet up as soon as possible. "

After which, Qin Wentian took out nine silver needles, and stabbed them through the acupoints located on his head. He quickly closed his eyes, and strengthened his heart, as he forgot everything, and entered that deep meditation, imagining himself as a vessel. Very quickly, Goianian Qin managed to sense the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth, as well as the existence of the Astral Energy. This is the effect of – meditation because how strong or weak the sensation is, it all depends on the strength of one's sensory abilities.

Qin Wentian's sensory abilities were unrivalled, extremely, powerful. This type of strength, in addition to his own innate talent, was also the result of Qin Wentian diligently practicing meditation every day. Although it was still daytime, he quickly entered the necessary condition, and drew Astral Energy into his body, before circulating it in his meridian path.

At this moment, despite the fact that Qin Wentian's entire energy channel and meridians had long been crippled, he did not mind, and continued to circulate Astral Energy throughout his body. He remained in this condition until the moon rose, and until the light from the constellations began to flow down towards Qin Wentian's body, enveloping him in layers of starlight.

Qin Wentian, using his imagination, imagined the path to the Nine Layers of Heaven. His sensory abilities continued to increase through this pathway, reaching higher and higher in an attempt to sense the Astral River of the Nine Layers of Heaven. This self-hypnosis technique was taught to him by none other than his Black Uncle. Sometimes, humans need to get stronger desires and intentions from self-hypnosis.

As his range of sensory abilities increased, Qin Wentian began to feel less pressure as his sensory abilities reached higher and higher. But this cannot stop him. Suddenly, Qin Wentian could feel himself standing in the middle of the boundless starry space – he had arrived at the Astral River 1!

Every time he was here, Qin Wentian would feel his soul stirred by the majesty of infinite space. Standing beside the countless constellations in the Nine Heavenly Astral Rivers, he felt not as important as an ant, like a grain of sand on a beach, or like a trickle of water in a vast ocean!

"Sweep Constellation." Qin Wentian could feel the first constellation around him when the constellation took the form of a – broomstick it was a Sweep Race. (TL: Broom Constellation/Broom Star is a Chinese pun for being a curse, signifying bad luck.)

"The Willow Drooping Constellation .. if I condensed the Astral Soul after forming an innate relationship with it, my body would take on gentle and flexible traits, similar to a willow tree."

"Constellation of the Water Snake, Heavenly Siter Constellation." Qin Wentian took a big breath, it seemed, as long as he wanted to, he could form an innate relationship with one of the constellations around him – even the constellations that were considered to be ultimates by Stellar Martial Cultivators. However, he did not want to give up so early. Calming himself, Qin Wentian let his senses soar further, passed through Layer 1 of Heaven, and ascended far before stepping into Layer 3 of Heaven.

The amount of pressure he felt was getting more and more intense, and Qin Wentian lamented that he no longer had the luxury of being carefree and relaxed, as he slowly pondered which constellation to choose as when he was in Layer 1 of Heaven. However, if this matter was known to the other Stellar Martial Cultivators, they would grow furious to the point of vomiting blood. Qin Wentian himself, did not know how strong his senses were. But just by taking Autumn Snow as an example, after he condensed the Astral Soul by forming an innate link with one of the constellations in the 3rd Heavenly Layer, it was after, his name had echoed throughout the Chu Country.

"Indeed, the level of strength that the Astral Soul possessed after forming an innate relationship with the constellation of the Third Heavenly Layer was, unparalleledly, stronger than those of Layer 1 and 2. Yet the 3rd Sky Layer has still not reached my limit, I can still go further. ”

As Qin Wentian's sensory abilities continued to surge upwards, the pressure he felt also increased in intensity. It was as if the pressure wanted to stop him from continuing, as Qin Wentian also began to feel waves of piercing pain in his mind. Despite this, he still gritted his teeth and held on.

"Pain is just a passing thought, I have to relax myself, the pain will subside when I wake up."

Qin Wentian had arrived at the 4th Sky Layer, where the constellations were all emitting terrifying energies, causing him to have a strong urge to rush over and form an innate relationship with them. Qin Wentian knew that, as long as he wanted to, he could immediately become the genius of the State of Chu unprecedentedly

"Black Uncle once prepared for me all the information regarding the constellations of the 5th Layer of Heaven, therefore it is clear what his expectations are for me." Qin Wentian quietly steeled himself, as he forced his senses to the maximum extent, attempting to proceed upwards to Layer 5 of Heaven.

In front of him, there was a constellation in the form of a skull, emitting a terrifying aura filled with evil and malice.

"Skeletal Constellation." Qin Wentian turned his Astral Body away, as he shifted his senses. Right now, unlike his experience in the 1st Heavenly Layer, he no longer had the ability to sense all the constellations at once. He could only try to sense each constellation one by one.

Moments later, he discovered a constellation that seemed to be filled with an aura of volcanic fire. "This ... This is the Ember Lion constellation! If I form an innate link with it, I will gain the ability to control the power of the flame at a terrifying rate, and the power I possess will be extremely tyrannical! ”Qin Wentian mused, but eventually decided not to make a decision.so hastily, because he still wanted to explore the starry horizon to feel the other constellations.

After which, he sensed another constellation nearby that took the shape of that huge hammer – was the Heavenly Hammer Constellation!

"Constellation Heavenly Hammer." Qin Wentian thought of the information that Black Uncle had given him about this particular constellation. Suddenly, he steeled his heart as he decided to bet.

His incredible sensory abilities began to rapidly reach out in an attempt to connect and form an innate relationship with the Heavenly Hammer Constellation. He imagined himself as a willing ship, as he slowly integrated with the Astral Energy of the Heavenly Hammer Constellation, while the piercing pain in his mind increased.

Columns of starlight began to flow down from Heaven, darting through the various Astral Rivers, before shining on Qin Wentian's cultivating body, enveloping his body in a starry light. Astral energy began to fuse with his body, as some of the starlight concentrated on the stone that always hung around his neck.

At this moment, after the terrifying Astral Energy gathered on top of the "ordinary" stone hanging on Qin Wentian's neck, the stone began to shine with dazzling brilliance, as the stone began to disintegrate. The remains were integrated into Qin Wentian's body completely, until the stone completely disappeared. Only now, the starlight column was concentrating fully and shining on Qin Wentian's body. Converging to many points, the enormous amount of Astral Energy was incomparably tyrannical.

The faint shadow with the shape of a Heavenly hammer began to coalesce on Qin Wentian's body, while the pain in his mind was so intense, that it was almost comparable to an explosion. However, how could Qin Wentian give up at this moment? He gritted his teeth, indomitablely intending to continue without a hint of surrender, as he allowed Astral Qi to circulate through his broken meridian pathway, gradually forming into a spiral form of Qi, which he had no clue about, and at the same time, risking his life to complete his Astral Soul condensation. Because only after that, he could be considered to have actually stepped into the ranks of a Stellar Martial Cultivator.

"Hong Long Long!" Rumbling sounds rang out from within Qin Wentian's body, as the despotic Astral Qi ran chaotically in the path of the severed energy channels and meridians, following the direction determined by the Spiral Qi, swirling around, frantically spinning around, swirling through his entire body. Qin Wentian knew that this was the most critical junction of – that only after he succeeded could he be considered to have completed his transformation.

The excruciating pain was extremely difficult to bear, but what was even more terrifying was that Qin Wentian still needed to divide his mind to focus on completing two tasks; both of his Astral Soul condensation, were, and reconstruction of the entire structure of his meridians and energy channels throughout his body.

"Sickness, is just a passing thought." Qin Wentian's heart was filled with determination, as the tyrannical Qi Spiral energy in his body opened the path of Astral Energy, connected it to his entire body, and managed to form a unique set of legendary Stellar Meridians .

At the same time, the Heavenly Hammer gradually formed, while blood seeped out the corner of his mouth. Finally, Qin Wentian spewed out a mouthful of fresh blood, before fainting to the point of fainting.

at the same time when Qin Wentian had fainted, far in the distance, far away from the Bai Clan's residence, the Mustang stood by the window inside the Clear Wind Inn. There was a faint shadow of the Astral Soul on his forehead. This Astral Soul was condensed by forming an innate relationship with the Heavenly Vision Constellation, and was one of the three Astral Souls condensed by the Mustang – Heavenly Vision Astral Souls.

"What a powerful astral light, the talent of Autumn Snow was indeed extraordinary. It seemed like he should have no problem passing the first round of inspections. "Must turn his gaze to the horizon, focusing on the starlight that was flowing down at the Bai Clan's location. Only after the astral pressure had faded did he let out a breath that even he was unaware he was holding. The pressure emitted from that source of Astral Power was, at the very least, from the constellation of the 3rd Heavenly Layer, and in the Bai Clan, other than the Autumn Snow, at the very least, no one else can form an innate relationship with the constellations of Layer 3 of Heaven.

Stretching his body, the Mustang decided to retire for the night. After hearing that Autumn Snow of the Sky Harmony City had managed to condense the Astral Soul of the 3rd Layer of Heaven, the Emperor of the Chu Country immediately sent people to investigate, and the Mustang was among the scout groups sent. Despite the intense competition between the scouts, the Mustang was not worried that there would be anyone who snatched the Snowfall from its hands. After all, he was the representative of the prestigious Star Emperor Academy.
