The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 58: Eve Before the Battle

Emperor Star Academy contained many places that allowed students to cultivate, as well as arenas reserved for sparring. Even so, the students preferred to go to the Dreamsky Forest as it was more fun there, and they could go all out, unleashing their full strength without any consideration.

Unlike his comrades, Qin Wentian did not attempt to break into the Dreamsky Forest. He instead chose to cultivate within his own dreamcape.

At this moment, within the vast and vast landscape, Qin Wentian stood alone, endlessly cultivating his palm imprint.

“The Diamond Imprint emphasizes on hardness and ferocity; hegemon street. Tyrannical beyond comparison, he was able to conquer every obstacle in his path. The Rotating Sea Trail, on the other hand, forms a complete and harmonious cycle in which violence mixes with softness, similar to the calm waters of a flowing river and the swiftness of a tsunami wave. This is a concept where the softness aspect can be found integrated in a hard attack, and vice versa. "

Qin Wentian muttered to himself as he sent out palm after palm, yet he was still unable to comprehend the essence behind the Rotating Sea Trail.

"It's unfortunate that I haven't broken through to the Creation Dream Country. If this was not the case, I could create an ocean in my dream landscape to help my understanding of the Rotating Sea Trail. "

Qin Wentian immersed himself in the experiment in his dream state, sending a palm into the palm while pondering about the essence of the Printed Sea. It was unknown exactly how many palm strikes he had sent out, when suddenly, "Pa!" A voice rang out, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to sparkle.

"Revolution! Cycle by cycle, the concept is the same as the Arterial Circulation Path. One starts the cycle with softness and spins the energy until it reaches the top. The concentrated one would then explode in an instant, displaying an overbearing and extreme strength. ”

Qin Wentian's eyes twinkled as he took a deep breath, sending out even more palm strikes. This time, the speed of his palm attacks was extremely slow, yet they were still capable of producing wind. His palm even gave Qin Wentian the sensation that the traces of palms were in superposition, piling themselves into many layers. Comment by Korean Fog: in chapter 57, the term is not capitalized. Should I go back and use uppercase letters or we'll make this term without capital? Comment by Korean Mist: actually, at 57, it is a “circular arterial path. Are they different terms?

"Tenderness, this must be the concept of tenderness."

“True, this is the sensation. The raging tsunami waves struck each other before reaching the peak as it erupted with the combined force of the waves. ”

The corner of Qin Wentian's mouth curled up into a smile. Finally, he grasped the insight of the Rotating Sea Trail. Now, even without the help of the Astral Energy supporting him, each palm strike was comparable to the swiftness of the ocean waves. Emitting a terrifying sound of collisions, they were like tsunami waves crashing against the shoreline.

After he practiced the Rotating Sea Trail to the point of mastery, Qin Wentian, expanding his consciousness in the dreamland, tried to connect with the small astral beings. These past few days, as he had many Yuan Meteor Stones in hand, Qin Wentian often attempted to peer into the memories of the little astral creature while in his dream state.

However, he gradually realized that it did not require that much Astral Energy if he only wanted his consciousness to enter the small astral beings. Small astral beings contain a space as vast as a galaxy. Inside that inner space, there were countless memory fragments, floating in that starry sky. Each and every memory fragment within that inner space had the ability to absorb Astral Energy and would require a large amount of Astral Energy before they could be activated.

This transformation caused Qin Wentian to be dumbfounded. The little astral creature still had a secret he was unaware of.

Of course, Qin Wentian did not try to force his consciousness into being an astral being but instead, he followed the same method by which he originally awakened the astral being. Outside of the dreamstate, his original body used the Astral Energy in his body, the Astral Qi was absorbed from the Heavenly Layer, and the Astral Energy within his Yuan Meteor Stones to activate the small astral beings. However, the current astral beings, were similar to the bottomless pit. It was very simple if he wanted to expand his consciousness and enter the inner space, but if he wanted to activate the astral beings from the outside, he would need to spend an astronomical amount of Yuan Meteor Stones, he would need to spend, causing Qin Wentian to be under tremendous pressure. His entire fortune might not even be enough to maintain the absorption rate of astral beings.

"Let's see what memories are contained in these fragments." In the dreamland, Qin Wentian caused the Astral Energy to flow into the boundless astral sea within the inner space of the small astral beings. The Astral Energy was guided by the slightest intention of his desire for a memory fragment in the boundless astral sea.

Naturally, the prerequisite was that in real life, Qin Wentian would have to use the Astral Energy within his body or rely on the Yuan Meteor Stones before he could direct the Astral Energy within his fantasy landscape. Cultivating within his dreams, Qin Wentian was unable to make a reality out of nothing. At least, not currently while the cultivation of Dreamcast Art was still in the Shallow Dream Country.

Gradually, the astral memory fragments began to glow with light, growing increasingly brighter as Astral Energy flowed into them.

Finally, rays of light flickered as waves of memories entered Qin Wentian, resulting in his mind trembling due to the influx of new memories before he was forcibly removed from dreamland.

Shaking his head to reorient himself, Qin Wentian closed his eyes again, as he tried to grasp the new memories embedded within his sea of consciousness.

His experience was similar to the recent memories he had opened, just like when he saw the scene of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. What it sees now is image-based memory, not text-based memory. Comment by Lord Bluefire: need reword for ommphy feel Comment by Korean Mist: I can't think of a way to reword. The kidyeon?

Cultivation arts, innate techniques etc., were all text-based memories. Meanwhile, the great battle that Qin Wentian witnessed earlier in his memories, in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, was image-based memory!

In the scene unfolding before him, he saw a kingdom. A very powerful and vast empire. In the empire, the Royal Palace emitted an aura of extremely domineering power and had a height that rose to the sky. Only this Royal Palace alone was larger than the entire Sky Harmony City. Inside the palace, experts were as common as floating clouds.

In front of this imperial power, the Chu State was only an ant that could be squashed with a single finger. This was the sensation that Qin Wentian felt when he saw the stunning scenery of the empire.

This seemed to prove the words Qin Wentian had heard: when the strength of a cultivator reached a certain level, only his strength alone could be considered equivalent to the strength possessed by the entire empire.

In the boundless space of Heaven and Earth, I was free to do as I wished. I'm Heaven. I'm Law.

When Qin Wentian came out of that memory, his feelings were turbulent, unable to calm down. Very strong, too strong. Compared to that empire, Great Chu could only be considered a small country. The middle-aged man could exterminate the entire Chu Country just by stepping on his foot.

“No wonder Uncle Black told me that this is a cultivation-oriented world. Sky Harmony City was too small, and so was the State of Chu. "Qin Wentian took a deep breath, his heart pounding. But in his heart, he also understood. Although from a larger perspective, the Chu State could not be considered anything, the current him could not be considered anything within the Chu State either. If he wanted to become extremely strong, he would have to proceed slowly and carefully, gaining strength step by step. He should not be overly ambitious and bite off more than he can chew.

"Fucking old news, who exactly are you? The little astral creature you left me, what's wrong? ”

Raising his head as he stared at the starry sky, Qin Wentian was once again reminded of the middle-aged man. Could it be that the middle-aged man was an old figure?

If that middle-aged man was my father, then did he really die?

"Hu ...." Qin Wentian spewed out a mouthful of stale air as he silently declared in his heart. "If I activate that little astral creature again, what surprise will give me?"

Qin Wentian was tempted to activate the astral beings once again. However, the day of the competition was getting closer, making it even more important to refine all of the Astral Energy in his body into Divine Yuan Energy. This process also required a large number of Yuan Meteor Stones.

“Although cultivation is difficult, cultivating tyrannical techniques, peak-levels are more difficult. Not only would it have to rely on one's talent, one would also need a certain amount of astronomical cultivation resources to support themselves. "Qin Wentian silently muttered. He pondered whether he should forge more Divine Weapons to sell more Yuan Meteor Stones in this period of time.

The Spirit Refinement Method involved the use of Divine Traces to purify Astral Energy. The state of Great Perfection ’from the first level will be achieved when one can instantly refine and condense a large amount of Astral Energy into Divine Traces while processing them according to the Spirit Refinement Method, so it turns it into Divine Energy. In the future, his understanding of the divine imprint would only grow stronger.

Time passed, and Qin Wentian focused all his attention on refining the Divine Energy. Moreover, after he formed the Divine Energy within his body, he would drain the Divine Energy through his circular artery pathways, sending out energy to temper every part of his body. After attending Elder Rain's lecture, Qin Wentian had obtained some insights and knowledge that he could apply in his cultivation.

If this persists for a cycle or two, there won't be much change. However, Qin Wentian continued and endured for 100 cycles, finally moving towards 1,000 cycles, and gradually, he began to find some changes in his body.

Not only did Qin Wentian endlessly pursue higher heights in his cultivation, Fan Le, also worked hard. For him, this battle was extremely important. He would never forget the brutal baptism he felt in the Dreamsky Forest. Although Fatty did not reveal his emotions, Qin Wentian understood the pain in his friend's heart.

Every time he thought of how Fan Le suffered back in the dreamland, involuntarily shaking his body after being pierced by a spear, killing intent would surge wildly in Qin Wentian's heart. This debt can only be repaid by shedding fresh blood.

While Qin Wentian and Fan Le were busy cultivating, in the Knight Association, Murong Feng and Du Hao did not choose to remain idle as well.

Ever since Qin Wentian killed Orfon and showed his talent in the arena, Orchon knew that the person he once hated, this ant-like existence, had already started to pose a threat to him. It wasn't that simple if he wanted to eradicate Qin Wentian. Now, after such a good opportunity, how could he leave it?

At the training ground, Murong Feng and Du Hao took turns competing against the powerful cultivators of the Knight Association. Their attacks were all extremely cruel and cruel.

"There's no mistake about that. Murong Feng was a genius who was only found once in a century. Spatialrend Fist was basically extremely ruthless, capable of tearing through meridians and energy channels, and just like the Thousand Hand Imprint, it was also an earth-class, medium-tier innate technique. The only difference is that despite not having the number of positions, the deeper understanding is, the greater the destructive power that can be unleashed. "Standing beside Orchon, the members of the Knight Association laughed coldly. Comment from Korean Fog: Can we turn it into "Spatial Kick Boxing"?

Orchon's expression remained calm, but in the depths of his eyes, an extreme chill could be seen. This Spatial Boxing was an innate technique that he had prepared specifically for Qin Wentian, and Murong Feng and Du Hao were cultivating it. The movements and attitudes of the Spatialrend Fist were all extremely ruthless; its main purpose was to sever the energy channels and meridians of their opponents, thus crippling their cultivation.

Murong Feng's cultivation level was much higher when compared to Qin Wentian. Not only that, after mastering the cruel and ruthless Innate technique, Spatialrend Fist, was practically a guarantee that Murong Feng would actually suppress Qin Wentian.

“This is still not enough. To be safe, I will prepare an additional trump card for Murong Feng. Qin Wentian, Fan Le, you guys better get ready to live the rest of your life as a disabled person. ”Orchon started laughing maniacally. This win is almost 100% guaranteed.
