Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

A storm caused the entire City of Ancient Emperors to tremble. They could sense the heavenly opportunities in the air.

As expected, the change in the era caused the rules of the city to change. They had never seen nor heard anything like these phenomena before. They only faintly heard their elders mentioning slightly about the dao elements in the legends.

But to think they would personally witness it today.

At a certain stretch of desolation in the City of Ancient Emperors, Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the sky. Around him, the countless blades of grass turned sharp, radiating law energy that intensified as time passed by.

Far ahead, flower petals could be seen being birthed by rocks on the mountain range.

Despite the wondrous scenes, it was as though he didn’t see any of them. A blinding beam of light cascaded down from the sky. Was this one of the dao elements spoken of by that expert in the dream he had earlier?

If one really wanted to contend for the inheritance of these dao elements, the vast majority of those who did so would all die. One had to defeat all geniuses contending for that inheritance to remain free or they would be bound by restrictions of the dao elements and would either die or be suppressed within the City of Ancient Emperors forever.

He soared into the air and gazed in the distance. He realized that the closer he got to the central area of the City of Ancient Emperors, the brighter the beams of light would be. It seemed that the energy from the dao element was clearer too. With a step, his silhouette flashed as he rushed towards there.

Not only for Qin Wentian, right now there were many experts who were also rushing towards the central areas, moving closer and closer to the beam of light. It felt like they were afraid that they might lose out on something if they arrived late.

In the air, numerous magnificent figures soared into the air, bathing in the light. They wanted to see what this dao element was about but none of them were able to see through it.

“This dao element is too mysterious. What law attributes do we need before we can comprehend it?”

“Yeah, with the appearance of dao elements, phenomena appeared in the skies of the City of Ancient Emperors. This is simply shocking, I felt the myriad of existences evolving, as well as some energy of the buddha-path. Such a feeling is extremely strange but I can’t tell what’s going on at all.”

“Seems like we were too excited earlier. If we are unable to see through this, this dao element is completely useless to us. Ultimately, do these inheritances belong only to those supreme characters standing at the peak?”

Many people, after their initial excitement, all discovered that they couldn’t comprehend anything and couldn’t help but to let out regretful sighs.

“Look over there.” An immortal king pointed into the distances. There were quite a few experts sitting cross-legged in the air in different locations as their bodies gleamed with light while they quietly tried to gain comprehensions.

There were also some supreme characters whose emperor’s fate glowed with a brilliant light that matches the dao element as they contemplated.

“This is a buddha-path dao element.” An expert had pressed his palms together, in the gesture of an ancient buddha as he spoke.

“It seems like emperor’s fate is able to help us see through the secrets of the dao element.” Someone was enlightened as he mumbled.

Emperor’s fate was also destiny. For those who lacked it, they had no destiny accumulated on their beings. Even if dao elements appeared before them, they also wouldn’t have any chance to obtain the inheritance. How cruel was this? Only those characters at the peak would have an opportunity to obtain this good fortune.

However, there were also some unusual stellar cultivators whose astral souls were of the buddha-path, gaining a resonance with the dao element, allowing them to see some parts of it clearly. They instantly calmed their state of hearts and had solemn expressions as they focused on gaining more insights.

In a certain direction, Bujie appeared. He had his palms pressed together and was revolving a buddha innate technique as his eyes gleamed with golden light. Buddhic runes circulated around him as he stared at the beam of light. He was successful to a certain extent as he could hear the voice of the great dao whispering to him.

“It’s truly a buddha-path dao element.” Bujie was sure of this. If this wasn’t a buddha-path dao element, he most probably wouldn’t be able to sense anything at all given his amount of emperor’s fate.

“Buddha-path dao element. What a pity, it’s useless to us greater demons from the Desolate Mountains.” In the air, at a certain area, a group of demonic experts radiating imposingness stood there. The demon in the lead stared at the beam of light while radiating a royal and unexcelled aura.

“Yeah, us demons wouldn’t be able to cultivate this in any case. Seems like those bald donkeys (monks) really have to thank their luck.” Another greater demon spoke. They were sitting in a sun carriage that emitted an air of majesty. The experts here were as many as the clouds and all had extraordinary auras. The demon in the lead was none other than the same one who killed a crown prince of the Taihua Immortal Dynasty back then. He was one of the most elite greater demons present in the area.

Not only him, there were many peak characters of humanity and demon-kind that also appeared in the air. For those who were not here yet, they were most assuredly rushing over. All of them stopped their cultivation and wanted to pry through the secrets of the dao element.

Among these people, there was a group of beauties in a certain direction, radiating charisma and alluringness. With just a gaze at them, many people would feel their hearts being captivated. Even immortal kings wouldn’t dare to casually glance over. These beauties were just too beautiful and it was especially so for the beauty in the lead. She was robed in white, exuding a transcendent aura, untainted by mortal dust. She seemed incomparably pure and flawless, and her skin was as fair as her robes, her figure further accentuated by her clothing. She was so perfect that there were no flaws at all. Her features were as exquisite as those of a sculpture, yet there was a hint of something celestial within, as though she didn’t exist in the mortal world.

At the center of the woman’s forehead, a faint lotus imprint could be seen, increasing her beauty by a few points. The pure and holy her stood there, yet there was undoubtedly a trace of demonic qi to her aura. There was actually such a pure and holy demoness? This simply exceeded the imaginations of everyone.

Xu Qingyao was here as well. She herself was a rarely-seen beauty. However, when the immortal kings beside her glanced at that woman and glanced at her, they actually discovered that be it in terms of beauty or bearing, Xu Qingyao was a shade inferior. Those women gave off a feeling as though they shouldn’t exist in this world at all.

“Vixen.” Xu Qingyao silently cursed in her heart. It was very rare for her to see a woman whose charm and beauty exceeded hers. But before this woman, she had no choice but to admit that she was inferior. There was also the slightest trace of jealousy in her heart.

Also, this group of females are actually all vixens, nine-tailed vixens!

That demonic woman in the lead didn’t even glance at Xu Qingyao but was staring at the beam of light from the sky. Xu Qingyao was the only one treating the woman as a competitor as she compared themselves.

Other than this, in all different directions, magnificent characters appeared one after another.

Qin Wentian finally rushed over. His gaze landed on the beam of light and due to his emperor’s fate, he could clearly see the light being made up of countless runes that were clear to his eyes. He was also able to tell that this was a buddha-path dao element. Each and every rune here contained a mysterious energy that’s suitable for buddhist-path cultivators to gain insight from.

The runes, that cascaded down unceasingly, were like the words of a book on the Great Dao, immeasurably deep.

Qin Wentian saw Bujie. That fellow cultivates in the buddha-path and was able to sense this dao element. Sadly, his emperor’s fate wasn’t enough and he had no way to see through its secret.

“Saber-Sword Immortal King. This fellow finally appeared.”

“He is truly the Saber-Sword Immortal King. This fellow always disappears for many years after an illustrious battle. Now that dao elements have appeared, he finally couldn’t control it any longer and decided not to hide. But how would his enemies spare him?”

Xu Qingyao also saw Qin Wentian. A strange light flashed in her eyes, this crazy fellow appeared again and the amount of emperor’s fate behind him was actually already so strong to this extent. This was simply too shocking, he should already be at the point where he could contend against those geniuses standing at the peak. Although Qin Wentian’s fame wasn’t as high as them yet, the deeds he has done and his battle achievements were simply too dazzling, resulting in him having so much emperor’s fate.

There were some greater demons who noticed the amount of emperor’s fate on Qin Wentian. One of the greater demons coldly spoke, “Who is this human cultivator? He actually has such a shocking amount of emperor’s fate.”

“Who are you?” Instantly, another greater demon from the Desolate Mountains stared straight at Qin Wentian as he asked.

With a flash in his gaze, Qin Wentian turned to the greater demon who spoke as he replied, “This seat is the Saber-Sword Immortal King.”

“Saber-Sword Immortal King, to think that you have such power. No wonder you are so arrogant back then when we were in Gazing Emperor City.” Another greater demon spoke, it was none other than the demonic young man who sat upon one of the floating thrones back then. He met the Saber-Sword Immortal King before.

“We still remembered how you killed a member of my race back then. To think that you are so famous in the City of Ancient Emperors now.” A demonic dragon in human form spoke in a glacial tone, staring at Qin Wentian.

“If you want revenge, you can make your move anytime.” Qin Wentian’s expression was calm as he regarded the greater demons here.

“What arrogance.” A supreme greater demon with copious amounts of emperor’s fate coldly spoke. “However, since you can be so famous in the City of Ancient Emperors, most probably ordinary peak-stage demon kings wouldn’t be able to defeat you. No wonder you are so proud of yourself. But right now, I advise you to better act with more restraint.”

“Let me kill him.” A greater demon icily spoke.

“No need for that, there would definitely be other humans making a move to deal with him. Why do you need to act?” A greater demon spoke. And as expected, at this moment, a group of humans appeared. The person in the lead was clad in a yellow robe and exuded imposingness, and an unexcelled aura like the king of the world.

Within this crowd, Qin Wentian also saw a familiar face – Huang Shatian who was at the immortal king realm. Clearly, this group of experts were from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.

The man in the lead was brimming with a boundlessly vast and mighty aura. There was a crown on his head and it was clear that he is a crown prince character of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, someone with an extraordinary status. He was one of the leaders of this group from his empire here who entered the City of Ancient Emperors.

Qin Wentian recognized Huang Shatian but Huang Shatian had no idea that the Saber-Sword Immortal King was none other than Qin Wentian. Hence, there was no change to his expression, it was as cold as ever. After all, the Saber-Sword Immortal King had killed many experts of his Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.
