A raging wind gusted by, as a golden light flashed. The golden condor demon emperor returned. His countenance was extremely sharp, glaring at Emperor Yu.

”Why are you looking at me in this manner? I’m not the one who told you to go in, you wanted to enter there yourself.” Emperor Yu calmly replied. He then continued, ”Everyone here is an extraordinary individual. Since you all want the secret art so badly, I shall allow you all to obtain it. But don’t blame me if you fail to comprehend, that would truly be ridiculous.”

”What is in the ancient mountain?” The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor walked up and asked.

The gazes of everyone turned to Emperor Yu. It seems that it wouldn’t be so easy to obtain the secret art God’s Hand. Even if Emperor Yu allowed them to comprehend as they will, it was extremely difficult.

”I’ve said before that I’m only the protector of this secret art. God’s Hand is something left behind by Senior Emperor Yi. If any of you can comprehend the divine essence, you may have a chance to anoint your head with the purest cream, gaining instant enlightenment. But let me remind you guys again that the ancient mountain is not so easy to gain access to. The stronger your cultivation base is, the more powerful the resistance would be. The reason for this is because the stronger you are the more real it would be, akin to a real attack from God’s Hand aimed right at you.”

Emperor Yu’s eyes gradually turned sharp. Since these people wished to obtain God’s Hand, he might as well take advantage of this and fully reveal it to the public. There was even a young man among these people who managed to comprehend the rudimentary form of God’s Hand in the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, it would depend on one’s fate and destiny. If someone was able to obtain this inheritance, he as the protector, would also be able to let go of all this.

”Emperor Yi was merely an ancient character. How can the immortal sense he left behind stop us?” The Violet Emperor stood there with unwillingness etched on his face. His eyes flickered with ambition as he exuded even more imposingness, staring right at the ancient mountain.

”I don’t wish to repeat myself. The complete God’s Hand is right before your eyes. If you have the ability, just go ahead and obtain it. There’s no need to waste words. I also know that you all have come from afar, and probably wouldn’t have the patience to banter with this old man.” Emperor Yu casually spoke. The Violet Emperor’s silhouette flashed as he appeared at the entrance of the ancient mountain.

Violet qi rose from the east, purple rays of light filled the skies. The figure of the Violet Emperor was like a divinity that contained boundless might. He took a step out, moving towards the ancient mountain.

His silhouette vanished directly from sight as he entered the mountain.

A formless pressure emanated from the ancient mountain. For the surrounding area of a thousand miles, the hearts of everyone were shaking.

Within the ancient mountain, violet light flashed as a supreme might enveloped the space. Despite being far away, the people at the God Hand Mountain Manor could feel the earth beneath their feet quaking endlessly as fissures opened up on the ground.

”RUMBLE!” A terrifying stifling aura instantly gushed outwards. The sound of a thunderous blast boomed out. They had no way to see what was happening in the interior of the ancient mountain. After some time, boundless violet light shot up into the skies as the silhouette of the Violet Emperor appeared there, in an extremely miserable state. His eyes gleamed with purple light, and was staring at the ancient mountain with an incredibly ugly expression on his face.

”Even the Violet Emperor couldn’t gain entry?” The hearts of the crowd shuddered. If the Violet Emperor couldn’t even enter, most probably none of the immortal emperors present here today would be able to enter.

The Violet Emperor wasn’t convinced, he tried to enter again and as he stepped inside, that terrifying stifling aura gushed outwards once more. Not long after, the Violet Emperor was blasted back once more. This time around, he didn’t continue to persist but chose to return to the mountain manor with an ugly expression on his face.

”You go in and try it.” The Violet Emperor spoke to an immortal king subordinate. That person nodded and stepped out, moving towards the ancient mountain.

The gazes of everyone turned over, all focused on that immortal king.

And at this moment, another terrifying sound of collision rang out. Although it wasn’t as intense as before, the sound still caused the hearts of everyone to tremble. Not long after, that immortal king expert was forced back by the force. He coughed out a mouth of blood but the injuries weren’t fatal.

An ancient mountain that could block the Violet Emperor’s entry, yet it couldn’t kill an immortal king? Emperor Yu didn’t say anything but it was obvious that the stronger the cultivation base one had, the more amount of resistance one would face.

”Xiao Emperor, how about letting your daughter attempt it?” Zi Daolong glanced at Xiao Lengyue as he spoke. Xiao Lengyue’s cultivation base was the lowest among everyone here, at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon. She hasn’t ascended to immortality yet.

The gaze of Xiao Emperor stiffened as he hesitated. The eyes of the Violet Emperor flashed with an imposingness, impatient at the hesitation. Despite them both being immortal emperors, the Violet Emperor’s cultivation base was higher than his.

Hence, immortal emperors might be immortal emperors. But in the eyes of the Violet Emperor, weaker immortal emperors were no different to immortal kings. In the Immortal Emperor Realm, if you were stronger than others by just a single level, you had enough power to suppress them completely.

”Father, I shall attempt it.” Xiao Lengyue stated. The Xiao Emperor only nodded then. ”I will bring you over.”

As he spoke, the Xiao Emperor brought Xiao Lengyue along as he headed towards the ancient mountain, depositing her just outside of it.

Right now, there was no aura emanating out from the ancient mountain. The Xiao Emperor saw his daughter slowly advancing step-by-step towards the entrance with nothing out of the ordinary happening. His gaze then turned to the direction of the God Hand Mountain Manor, feeling incredibly astonished and shocked in his heart.

”My daughter doesn’t seem to have encountered any resistance and she is already inside the ancient mountain.” The Xiao Emperor spoke.

”Not feeling any resistance indicates that it’s useless even if she entered.” Emperor Yu casually smiled. ”The divine essence of the secret art God’s Hand is within. If she can’t even sense the divine essence, what business does she have inside there?”

”In that case, immortal kings and immortal foundation characters are the most suitable to enter the ancient mountain?” An immortal emperor from the Jiang Clan asked. Emperor Yu smiled, ”Any character of any cultivation realm is suitable to enter. God’s Hand is just before your eyes. It will depend on your fate to see if you would be able to comprehend it. However, let me warn all of you, since everyone wants this so much, I have opened the door and allowed everyone to come into contact with the secret art of Senior Emperor Yi. I don’t need any of your gratitude, but if the disciples or descendants of any of you are injured or even die here, you mustn’t blame it on this old man. If not, that would simply be ridiculous.”

”As long as you stay here in sight of everyone, we won’t blame you if the people of our clan meet some mishaps after they entered.” An immortal emperor from the Ying Clan spoke, his words causing the other immortal emperors to nod in agreement as their eyes gleamed sharply.

That’s right. Emperor Yu needed to remain out here in the open within their sights. Who knows if he could control the power within the ancient mountain?

”Okay, I will stay here then. Everyone, please feel free to attempt it.” Emperor Yu wasn’t bothered about the other party’s outrageous request. He carefreely continued, ”Lu, go prepare a banquet here. This old man shall welcome these guests from afar.”

”Roger.” Butler Lu nodded, he then went and relayed the command to the servants of the manor. Not long after, tables were set up and food and wine were served.

Emperor Yu sat there, smiling as he watched the changes in the situation.

”Everyone, please feel free to join me.” Emperor Yu waved his hands casually, exuding a relaxed demeanor.

The other immortal emperors weren’t as tranquil as Emperor Yu. They respectively commanded the immortal kings under them to probe the ancient mountain. Not only them, many immortal kings of the other major powers of the Southern Region also attempted it. Thunderous booming sounds of collision rang out unceasingly as those immortal kings were blasted outwards, failing to gain entry. There were even many who were injured and this was only them attempting to breach the entrance of the ancient mountain. They had yet to enter the depths of it and had no idea what secrets are within.

Immortal kings couldn’t get in, they could only try out with immortal foundation experts. And as expected, because immortal foundation experts’ cultivation bases are weaker, the resistance they met, were weaker as well. Some were forced back, but some succeeded in entering.

After time and time of experimenting, they finally seemed to see hints the rule in this ancient mountain.

At this moment, the experts of the Southern Phoenix Clan were seated together enjoying the banquet. Nanfeng Guhong stared at the surrounding as she spoke in a low voice, ”It is not so easy to obtain God’s Hand.”

”It’s a secret art of an ancient emperor. It naturally wouldn’t be so easy to comprehend.” Qin Wentian smiled.

”Can you see through it?” Nanfeng Guhong’s gaze turned to Qin Wentian.

”Senior, before this Emperor Yu said that the divine essence of the secret art is within the ancient mountain but the stronger one is, the more powerful the resistance in the form of an attack they would face when they attempt to enter. But this means that they also have the opportunity to comprehend more things. For those with weaker cultivations, they are able to enter easily but they won’t be able to see anything. What use is there then? Hence if one wants to obtain the secret art, immortal kings and immortal foundation experts are the most suitable choice. But if they wish to comprehend it, they would first have to endure a power far beyond their cultivation level blasting at them.” Qin Wentian spoke.

”I don’t think so. If the truth is according to what you say, wouldn’t there be no solution? I believe that since Emperor Yi left his inheritance here, he must have truly wanted to find a successor and wouldn’t waste the time of people. Only those with true abilities can enter the depths of the ancient mountain, gaining the qualifications to probe the mysteries of the secret art. However, merely this entrance has already obstructed so many people.” Nanfeng Guhong calmly spoke. Her thoughts were what the other immortal emperors were thinking. They had already prepared to dispatch the most elite people of their sects or clans, including their descendants.

”Oh, let me remind all the immortal emperors. If your immortal sense is activated within the ancient mountain, you will instantly feel the resistance caused by the divine essence of God’s Hand. However, your immortal sense lacks the power of your true body and is far inferior. The strands of protective immortal sense on your descendants and disciples would be wiped away instantly and hence, all of you better be careful when you consider the choice of sending your elite disciples and descendants inside.” Emperor Yu laughed, his words causing many of the immortal emperors present to gaze coldly at him.

Although it was so, they had no other choices. One can only cultivate the secret art by entering the mountain. There was an opportunity within, and sending their descendants in personally would be the best choice. The divine essence wasn’t a cultivation technique inscribed in a manual, there was no way to bring it out save for comprehending the profound mysteries of it within the mountain.

”Ziyu, do you wish to enter?” The immortal emperor of the Jiang Clan asked.

”Since there’s an opportunity present, I naturally would choose to take it.” Jiang Ziyu’s eyes gleamed sharply.

”Good. I’ve already told the clan to send more heaven chosen over to accompany you in entering the ancient mountain.” The Jiang Clan immortal emperor stated. Not only him, the Ying Clan was doing the same as well.

”I’m afraid they would send for reinforcements. My Southern Phoenix Clan will also send more geniuses over to enter the ancient mountain. You guys should continue to comprehend the God’s Hand energy so that there would be a higher chance of success.” Nanfeng Guhong stated. The reappearance of God’s Hand in the Southern Region, clearly triggered a huge wave of commotion.

After several days, even more experts arrived at the God Hand Mountain Manor. Emperor Yu was still as carefree as before, idling chatting leisurely as though all this had nothing to do with him. He was like an uninvolved spectator, content to stare at the changes in the situation.

After a few more days, even the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and Bai Wuya arrived, both appearing at the same time. There were also some people whom Qin Wentian had never met before, but they were all extraordinary characters with cultivation bases at the different levels of the Immortal Foundation Realm.
