Chapter 1452: Comprehending Holy Will
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
In the air, the black cracks grew more and more in number. The trembling of the Eastern Tomb also became more intense, as though it was about to collapse at any moment.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and glanced up, feeling anxiousness in his heart. The holy will within the stone tablets contained a supreme and terrifying energy. He wanted to comprehend them properly but time doesn’t permit him to do so. If the Eastern Tomb collapsed, even wanting to see a single stone tablet in the future would be an impossible task, let alone comprehending the holy will from all these tablets.
His eyes turned to Feng Qianxue. Feng Qianxue looked back at him and spoke, “Quickly look at the Holy Book. Through the generations, many of my sect have entered this place, perceiving the holy will and studying the Holy Book before gaining some conclusions. The logic of the Great Dao is hidden within the book while the holy will were the remnant of will energy left behind by the sages. The Holy Book can facilitate your understanding of the stone tablets.”
“Brother Qin, quickly. There’s not much time left.” Feng Zhu glanced at the black cracks as he spoke. He hoped that Qin Wentian would be able to comprehend some insights here and grow stronger and stronger.
“Right.” Qin Wentian instantly nodded, turning his eyes to the Holy Book ahead. Stepping out, he moved to the place where several experts gathered, as he bathed in the radiance emitted by the Holy Book, listening to the music of the Great Dao as he attempted to comprehend the profound mysteries within.
When Qin Wentian’s immortal sense entered the book, a booming noise instantly erupted inside his mind. After that, boundless information flooded in as countless scenes appeared, showing the beginning of heaven and earth and the birth of the myriad of creatures. These scenes appeared one by one, all of them contained the unfathomable mysteries and logic of the Great Dao.
Qin Wentian immersed himself within, feeling the dao of the sages. The insights he gained here did have similarities to the Heavenly Talisman Treasured Tome, focused on runes that were the manifestation of law attribute energy from the Dao.
One produced two, two produced three, three produced the myriad of living things. When all living things converged back into one, the essence of the Great Dao can be found.
Qin Wentian meticulously contemplated the energy in the Holy Book and was bathed in the holy radiance. Boundless runic light radiated from him, illuminating the area with a dazzling light. His body was like a treasure itself.
“As expected.” Feng Qianxue stared at Qin Wentian. She was already very surprised before this. Why could Qin Wentian perceive the holy will so easily? In addition, he had requested before to observe as she was forging weapons. So it turned out that he himself had cultivated a similar-type law attribute energy that was of the same cultivation path as their Eastern Tomb Holy Temple.
Naturally, the law attributes all stemmed from the same origin source. The paths that the stellar martial cultivators took had no differences when it boils down to the ‘essence.’
Qin Wentian immersed himself within and comprehended for a very long time. After that, he turned his gaze back to the stone tablets, staring at the small pagoda once more. His body trembled from the impact as the runes within his body began circulating unceasingly, gradually merging together, forming into the shape of that pagoda.
However, after a few short moments, Qin Wentian’s consciousness was forcefully sent out once more. He groaned in agony, and took a few steps back. His bloodline energy was churning wildly as he endured the impact as he continued the process of sending his consciousness in again.
“What is he doing?” Many people turned towards Qin Wentian. A majority of the people here couldn’t even perceive anything, hence they wouldn’t feel the impact. Qin Wentian’s body was radiating a dazzling and resplendent runic light as rumbling sounds echoed from within him, causing a huge commotion that attracted plenty of attention.
“No idea, it’s like he can comprehend the stone tablets.” Someone spoke.
“Acting mysterious? He thinks he can comprehend the holy will given his qualifications?” A mocking voice rang out from an expert of the Sky Bell Cult. He knew very clearly how difficult it was to comprehend the holy will within the stone tablets. Although many experts have now entered the Eastern Tomb, only a rare few would be able to obtain an inheritance.
As for those who could comprehend the holy will left behind by the sages, they were even rarer compared to those who could receive inheritances. From the past generations to now, the number of people who could comprehend insights from the holy will can be counted on a single hand.
“You are unable to comprehend it but what qualifications do you have to say that others won’t be able to?” Feng Zhu coldly replied. Earlier he had attempted but he failed to perceive the holy will. However, Qin Wentian’s talent was truly outstanding. Feng Zhu was very impressed by this friend of his and now that he had seen that his friend could perceive the holy will, he naturally didn’t like it when the other experts wanted to insult Qin Wentian.
It’s fine that he couldn’t do so, but he felt that they should know how to admire those who could.
“You are someone from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, right? You should understand what these stone tablets are. How can the holy will within be so easily comprehended by people?” That expert from the Sky Bell Cult sarcastically spoke. “I already told you to tell him not to continue wasting time. Why is he still pretending there? He will only draw the ridicule of the crowd.”
“The people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect are actually so ignorant. How laughable.” An expert from the Divine Inscriptions Sect joined in. These people were unable to perceive the holy will and were feeling extremely unhappy in their hearts. When they saw so many people turning their attention to Qin Wentian, they were naturally very dissatisfied. After all, Qin Wentian was their enemy. This was why they threw in the insults too.
And since they couldn’t perceive the holy will, they would, of course, assume that Qin Wentian would be the same as them.
They didn’t believe that Qin Wentian’s talent would be higher than them.
“You guys…” Feng Zhu was so angered that he was speechless. He stared at these experts who each projected arrogance. In fact, these people were those who were unable to perceive the holy will but were intentionally using their arrogance to mask their inability and even use the chance to insult others.
“Big brother, why must you lower yourself to their level? They are mere ants crawling on the ground, how can they understand the majesty of the roc soaring through the sky?” Feng Qianxue calmly replied. As the sound of her voice faded, an expert stepped out, unleashing a powerful aura. Feng Qianxue’s expression turned cold as her aura gushed forth too. “If you guys want to hasten the collapse of the Eastern Tomb, let’s start a fight then. However, since you trash are unable to perceive anything from here, you most probably want the Eastern Tomb to collapse as fast as possible.”
“Feng Qianxue, we will allow you to be arrogant for a little while more.” Those experts laughed coldly, while staring at Feng Qianxue’s beautiful features. An evil light gleamed in their eyes, they would definitely make her regret this.
“Qianxue, the Eastern Tomb is going to collapse soon. Time is short, there’s no need to argue with them, you should quickly try to comprehend the Holy Book.” Feng Zhu stated. His talent was the weakest among them and he was willing to act as the protector for both Qin Wentian and Feng Qianxue, to prevent others from disturbing them.
Feng Qianxue nodded. She glanced back at Qin Wentian before turning her attention to the Holy Book as her immortal sense extended out.
“BOOM!” Chaos reigned supreme in this area as a streak of black lightning slammed into the ground, causing the trembling of the Eastern Tomb to intensify. It seemed on the verge of crumbling apart.
Many experts all focused, not wanting to waste any more time. The remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb were all staring at the Holy Book seriously, trying to pry through the veil of the mysteries. Even if they could only manage to gain the slightest insight, none of them were willing to waste this final chance.
At this moment, the light radiating from Qin Wentian grew even more terrifying. The commotion within his body was too great, causing thunderous rumbling sounds. The small pagoda in his body had already formed but it was still unable to produce that heaven-suppressing might.
For the holy will, it actually contained energy that sprang from high attainments in the dao of divine inscriptions. Divine inscriptions transformed into runes of law-attribute energy, constituting the great dao. The congregation of the energy would then transform into will and after entering the small pagoda, it would become the holy will, containing boundless might that could infuse everything.
After a long time, Qin Wentian gained even more comprehensions. He coughed out a few mouthfuls of blood as he retracted his consciousness. Staring at the speed of collapse of the Eastern Tomb, he now focused on the ancient ‘Vajra’ character. This holy will from the ancient word bore some similarity to the small pagoda, they were actually two similar paths that led to the same destination.
As his comprehension deepened, the light from him grew more brilliant. There seemed to be countless “Vajra” words circulating around him, tempering his body into a diamond-like substance. It seemed like he was on the verge of mastering the dharma idol of the Vajra Sect’s arts. This caused the experts around here to all have strange looks in their eyes as they stared at Qin Wentian.
“BOOM!” A powerful palm attack slammed out aiming for Qin Wentian, but Feng Zhu was there to defend against it. However, the loud sound still jolted Qin Wentian awake from his comprehensions. He was forced a few steps back from the impact as he coughed out a mouthful of blood. When he inclined his head and stared at the person who launched the attack, an intense killing intent could be seen flickering in his eyes.
This person actually forcefully interrupted his comprehensions.
“You actually managed to perceive a small trace of the holy will. However, let me persuade you not to waste any more time. Even if you really can comprehend it in its entirety, you would still have to die today.” That person coldly spoke, he was an expert from the Vajra Sect. When he felt that trace of Vajra Sect’s energy from Qin Wentian earlier, he decided to rudely interrupt Qin Wentian to prevent him from gaining any deeper insights.
“What? You are not happy and want to fight now?” That expert coldly snorted. “I will naturally comply if you want to, but this is not the time to do so. When the time for battle comes, you will be nothing but a dead man.”
Qin Wentian stared at this person as he coldly spoke, “Fa Nu has been killed by me. If you dare to continue antagonizing me, even if the Eastern Tomb’s collapse will be hastened, I will definitely kill you. Since you refuse to consider the consequences of your actions, I similarly will not give a damn about it any more.”
His threatening voice rang out thunderously, causing the expression of that expert from the Vajra Sect to turn ugly.
Qin Wentian ignored him and turned his attention to the branch, wanting to comprehend the holy will in it. The holy will inside was akin to sword intent, containing boundless might that could tear the world asunder.
Immersing his consciousness within, Qin Wentian once again focused himself, not wanting to waste any time.
Countless runes manifested within his body, congregating together to form a thin branch-like sword as sword intent started to gush forth from him.
As time flowed by, the sword intent he produced grew stronger and stronger, forming a river of sword qi that produced unceasing torrents. However, Qin wentian still wasn’t satisfied. This wasn’t a qualitative evolution, the sword intent he was producing was no different from the one he radiated before.
This time, Qin Wentian spent an even longer amount of time. The black cracks increased in number and the possibility of the Eastern Tomb collapsing grew even greater.
“Ai.” An expert from the Sky Bell Cult decided to give up. He couldn’t perceive anything and since the Eastern Tomb was collapsing, it meant that there was no more meaning for him to waste his time.
At this very moment, churning sounds echoed out. Numerous gazes turned to Qin Wentian’s direction, only to feel a stifling sword might radiating from him. That expert from the Sky Bell Cult coldly mocked, “Still overestimating yourself? Even at this moment, why are you still wasting time persevering? It’s simply useless.”
“He seems to be under great pressure, why don’t we directly kill him off now to save ourselves from trouble.” An expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace added.
“Swish~” At this instant, all the sword might suddenly disappeared, completely retracted back into Qin Wentian’s body. A small sword was now circulating within his body, as thin as a willow branch.
“You finally gave up? How foolish. Attempting for so long before you gave up, what a waste of time.”
“The holy will is too difficult to comprehend, how can someone like you be able to accomplish it?” The experts from the three remnant powers all spoke when they saw Qin Wentian finally giving up.
“How noisy.” Qin Wentian’s eyes opened, his gaze was like the sharpest sword in the world, directly piercing through the eyes of one of the experts who spoke earlier. That person screamed in misery, and after that, a burst of sword intent flashed by, and that expert collapsed onto the ground a moment later.
