Chapter 1818: Devilox
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian walked over, he didn’t expect that there would even be ancient recordings of the Battle Saint Tribe’s history here as well. The Heavenly Dao Library truly contained many things.
He took out the relevant scrolls and started to browse through as information regarding the Battle Saint Tribe appeared in his mind.
The Battle Saint Tribe was also known as the Ancient Battle Clan, had shocking combat prowess, capable of dominating the Desolate Region. They were once the hegemonic power of a generation and had a divine ape as their totem. They were able to summon divine battle apes and possessed incredible divine strength.
The ancient scrolls recorded the glorious history of the Battle Saint Tribe, as well as how it declined and was eventually destroyed.
Another peak power in the Desolate Region was named the Ox Divine Clan. Their ancestor was a Kui Ox and can be considered an immensely powerful variation beast. The ancient records of the Battle Saint Tribe clearly recorded the grudge between these two clans. The hatred lasted for many years, and the Ox Divine Clan eventually used some underhanded methods and seized the inheritance battle saint bone from the Battle Saint Tribe and implanted it into his own body. After that, the successive generations of the Battle Saint Tribe’s members grew more and more mediocre until their entire tribe was vanquished by the Ox Divine Clan.
With regards to this battle, the impartial view of the recorder felt that the Battle Saint Tribe was destroyed due to their own arrogance. They looked down on the Divine Ox Clan and they were indeed once stronger than them. However, the Divine Ox Clan knew that their talent was inferior to the Battle Saint Tribe and chose to lie low. When they found a method to turn the situation, they did it with no hesitation. They forced the remnants of the Battle Saint Tribe to flee to different particle worlds to hide and gained an absolute victory.
“Divine Ox Clan.” Qin Wentian mumbled. He placed it down and took up the Divine Ox Clan’s record lying next to it. Clearly, the recorder wanted those who came here to have a clearer idea of what was going on. Hence, he placed the two records next to each other. After that, Qin Wentian browsed through the Divine Ox Clan’s records as his heart was filled with emotions.
The Battle Saint Tribe was destroyed due to their arrogance, the Divine Ox Clan knew their weakness very well. They were not considered peak-level demon beasts like divine dragons, phoenixes or great rocs. Their talent was inferior. However, they could still stand at the peak of the Desolate Region and even dominated demons who were of a higher rank than them in terms of bloodline. From this, one could see how powerful the methods of the Divine Ox Clan’s ancestor was.
Not only did they seize the inheritance battle saint bone from the Battle Saint Tribe, during the process of them dominating those demons with higher-graded bloodlines, they constantly absorbed and interbred with these demons, allowing their later generations to grow stronger and stronger, becoming super-variation beasts. This was why they could still stand at the peak of the Desolate Region, no one could knock them down from their position.
Right now, as the Saint Lord of this generation of the Battle Saint Tribe, Qin Wentian naturally had responsibilities. He hoped that he would be able to help the Battle Saint Tribe grow to a point where they could contend against the Divine Ox Clan and seize back the glory that belongs to them.
Qin Wentian continued to stay in the library and browsed the books, gaining an understanding of the various peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms as information about many incidents in Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, appeared in his mind.
Once, in Azure Mystic, at the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, the demon god mountain had descended and all the demons in the surroundings underwent a transformation. On the peak of the demon god mountain, there were many inheritances of the various greater demons. The mastermind behind the scenes were none other than the Demon God Mountain from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
Right now, the Demon God Mountain was one of the three hegemonic powers in the Desolate Region. The Demon God Mountain was a power formed from the alliances of many powerful saint beasts, and was formed to contend against the Divine Ox Clan. Once, for those supreme demons with high-grade bloodlines, were taken as slaves by the Divine Ox Clan. They eventually managed to break free in the end and formed a powerful alliance which resulted in the Demon God Mountain today. They would occasionally cause the manifestation of the Demon God Mountain to descend on the various immortal realms in the lower worlds, allowing many greater demons there to achieve a transformation. In the future after these greater demons came to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, many of them would usually choose to join the Demon God Mountain.
Qin Wentian slowly started to gain an understanding about the various peak powers. He wanted very much to finish reading all the ancient records about the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms at one go, but there were simply too many and it was too time consuming. He didn’t have a hundred years to browse freely through the library. Hence, after gaining an initial understanding of the history of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, he exited the Heavenly Dao Library. Divine Sound had informed him to leave the library. Most probably, the date where the heavenly deity was going to give a dao lecture was approaching.
In any case, there would always be time in the future. When there’s a chance to in the future, he would come back to the library again.
Qin Wentian returned to his residence and during the second day, he headed towards the location the Divine Sound World Overlord was staying at and made preparations to meet with the heavenly deity who would be his teacher.
“During these days, you have been at the Heavenly Dao Library?” Divine Sound smiled and asked Qin Wentian.
“Mhm, I took the time to gain a casual understanding of the various powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms so I would be prepared when I encounter them in the future.” Qin Wentian nodded.
“Great idea. You would encounter them sooner or later. Given your talent, you would surely become a heavenly deity in the future and might have to contend against the various peak powers.” Divine Sound replied. “In addition, I’ve sent someone to the Daoask Lodge to check the talents of your friends and family. There were indeed several with pretty good talents. When you have the time, you can go fetch all of them over and arrange them to stay at your place.”
Qin Wentian felt joy in his heart. Seems like his senior brother Divine Sound was intentionally taking care of him. Although many people had high enough talent to meet the criteria, it was usually impossible to bring everyone with him over.
“Many thanks, senior brother.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded.
“Let’s leave.” Divine Sound spoke. After that he led the way and moved towards the depths of the sacred academy. After some time, they entered a screen of light and their surroundings completely changed. It was as though they had just entered a different dimension.
This place, the sun and moon didn’t exist. Only the starry light cascaded down from the sky. It was as though the laws of the heavens and earth here were different from those outside. What made Qin Wentian’s heart tremble was that he realized he couldn’t sense the outside world at all.
“This…” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. He asked the Divine Sound World Overlord, “Senior brother, what place is this?”
“A god realm.” Divine Sound laughed. “Heavenly deities are able to open up a world of their own. These worlds are known as god realms and inside here, all heavenly dao laws would circulate based on the owner’s will. Hence, you wouldn’t be able to sense the usual heavenly laws you are familiar with.”
Qin Wentian nodded, he didn’t feel that it was strange. Even for world overlords who were proficient in certain unique powers, they would be able to open up a world of their own, let alone a heavenly deity that was in command of a heavenly dao.
Naturally, the worlds opened up by heavenly deities are of different levels compared to those opened up by world overlords.
Qin Wentian continued forward. He also saw other experts here. They were seated on a platform made from astral stones and were quietly waiting.
“These people are all disciples of the Dugu Heavenly Deity.” Divine Sound spoke. The Dugu Heavenly Deity clearly wasn’t going to be teaching Qin Wentian alone. Heavenly deities are extremely limited in number. If they specially only taught one person, what sort preferential treatment would that be?
Many of the experts here were all elite world overlords. This was the only reason why they were qualified to attend the dao lectures given by a heavenly deity.
When Divine Sound and Qin Wentian came over, quite a few people turned their heads and stared at them. The eyes of one of the experts here gleamed with sharpness as he looked at Qin Wentian. A sharp battle intent gushed forth, that was energy from his body and seemed to be one with the heavens. In an instant, Qin Wentian felt a vast and ponderous battle might boring down on him.
“What a powerful battle intent.” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed as he stared at this person. It was a young man with an extremely sturdy build. His face was filled with arrogance and his gaze was extremely invasive. He stared at Qin Wentian and asked, “So, you are the Qingcheng Realmlord?”
Qin Wentian frowned. The other party’s attitude seems to be somewhat provocative.
“You have a problem with me?” Qin Wentian calmly asked.
“Nope. I only heard that you are quite famous in the Mystic Region when you attended the convention. Now, you have even entered the Heavenly Dao Rankings of the sacred academy. If there’s a chance to do so, I would like to spar with you.” The young man spoke. Qin Wentian recalled the words spoken to him by one of the world overlords when he first came here to the sacred academy. Could the person that world overlord talked about, be this young man?
That supreme genius from the Desolate Region. In the Desolate Region, the three hegemonic powers are the Luoshen Clan, Divine Ox Clan and the Demon God Mountain. Which of these three powers did this supreme genius belong to?”
“Who are you?” Qin Wentian asked.
“My name is Devilox.” That person calmly replied. Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. Devilox, devil ox? As expected, this person was from the Divine Ox Clan.
There were records about Devilox in the Heavenly Dao Library because he had inherited a saint bone and was born with a dao bone in his body. His fate was destined to be extraordinary.
His senior Divine Sound also mentioned that this person was born with a dao bone. This caused Qin Wentian to suddenly think of the incident whereby the inheritance battle saint bone of the Battle Saint Tribe was plundered away.
In that case, when members of the Battle Saint Tribe also joins the sacred academy, he temporarily mustn’t allow them to come in contact with this person.
“Oh, I also heard that the Luoshen Clan attended the convention this time around as well and they have a connection with you? Let me warn you, you best not be too close to Luoshen Lei. I have my sights set on her, she will become one of my women in the future.” Devilox spoke with cold arrogance. Their Divine Ox Clan coveted the bloodline of the Luoshen Clan. Although the Skyorder Heavenly Deity was crippled, he was after all once a heavenly deity. How could the bloodline talent of his daughter be weak? It should also be extraordinary.
Despite the passage of countless years, the Divine Ox Clan always had designs on the Luoshen Clan’s bloodline but they have never succeeded before. In that case, he will be the first to succeed then.
A cold light gleamed in Qin Wentian’s eyes when he heard that. This Devilox wanted Luoshen Lei to become one of his women?
“As expected, you are also interested in Luoshen Lei?” Devilox stared at Qin Wentian’s eyes and stated after he saw Qin Wentian’s reaction. “Let me tell you that you can give up now. She will be mine.”
Divine Sound listened calmly at the side and didn’t interfere. This was something Qin Wentian had to face in the future, contending against the other supreme geniuses of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.
“A demon ox actually is so talkative? You seem somewhat comical.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Devilox stared at him and laughed loudly. A moment later, the space around them trembled violently as Devilox’s battle intent grew stronger.
“Devilox, shut up.” A cold voice berated. When Devilox heard this, he actually instantly shut up. His gaze shifted ahead, and there was a look of devoutness in his eyes. From the void, an extremely beautiful and dazzling figure appeared.
This was simply a goddess. She was clad in white and exuded a pure and holy aura, so holy that no one would dare to have any profane thoughts. She was exceedingly beautiful and seemed to be completely perfect. The moment she appeared, even the sky would lose its color. Everyone bowed slightly and was incomparably respectful. Even the arrogant and tyrannical Devilox was the same as well.
This was because, this goddess was a true divinity, a heavenly deity.
Qin Wentian felt some shock in his heart. This heavenly deity from the sacred academy whom his senior brother Divine Sound recommended him to learn from, was actually a woman!
