: Ancient Emperor Palace
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Everyone stepped through the entrance that appeared after the gigantic palm shattered. Their steps slowed, this space was very large and their sensitive senses could feel a huge pressure enveloping all of them. The pressure was overwhelming, it felt as though as long as it erupted forth completely, all of them would die here.
There was a unique rhythm in the air, akin to that of someone breathing in and out. In the space of a breath, they felt their hearts pounding as the blood in their bodies circulated frenziedly out of their control.
This space seemed extremely ancient, and was very desolate like it has been sealed away for countless years. They continued down the ancient path and the sense of danger they felt continued to deepen.

That mountain.
Someone stared at a stone mountain ahead. This mountain was in a unique shape, resembling a demonic beast. It obstructed their path and exuded a fearsome aura.
Their steps gradually halted, staring ahead. That feeling of danger grew more and more intense. Breathing in and breathing out…their hearts pounded rapidly.
At this moment, more stones rolled off the stone mountain. The entire mountain seemed to be moving. All of a sudden, a terrible might gushed forth as the stones continued rolling down. At the head of the mountain, a face vaguely resembling a human could be seen, exuding a fearsome balefulness that seemed a cross between a demon and a human. The fangs in its mouth breathed in and out, creating a demonic gale that blew on everyone’s bodies, causing everyone to break out in chills.
The head belonged to an incomparably gigantic demon. It was roughly around the size of a small mountain. The rhythm of its breath caused the hearts of all of them to pound. It felt that with just a breath, this demon was able to kill all of them here. Nobody dared to wake it up. Everyone proceeded carefully and even slowed their breathing. They didn’t want to alert this terrifying demonic beast that was currently in a slumber.
Everyone stared ahead, feeling fear in their hearts. This demon was too large. It was like a mountain obstructing their path. It seemed like a demonic protector for this place.

What should we do?
Everyone transmitted their voices silently to each other. Qin Wentian’s eyes flickered. Since they’ve came all the way here, it was impossible for him to give up now. Also, since this place was left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi and he was the one that managed to shatter the gigantic palm outside, revealing this space, he didn’t believe that Ancient Emperor Yi would go through so much trouble to kill a potential successor.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian lifted his foot and continued. The eyes of everyone flashed as they looked at Qin Wentian. Since there was someone in the lead, they didn’t mind cautiously following after. When they arrived below the greater demon, the pressure they felt was so great that they found it even hard to breathe. Despite the greater demon being asleep, it radiated a fearsome pressure. Every breath it took caused their hearts to tremble and the pressure was getting more and more intense.
There were some who could no longer even walk, not daring to advance any further. Staring at the malevolent countenance, their legs shook, growing soft as they couldn’t breathe.

Swish~
A terrifying breath of hotness flared from the greater demon’s nostrils.

Pu.
A person was overly nervous as his foot step made a loud sound on the ground. This caused everyone’s hearts to tremble as they hurriedly halted and glanced at the greater demon. Only when they ascertained that there was no reaction from the greater demon did they heave a sigh of relief.
Right now, Qin Wentian already arrived beneath the head of the greater demon. A rumbling sound rang out as the stones on the stone mountain above rolled downwards. In the span of a single breath, the stifling pressure grew stronger as a pair of gigantic eyes snapped open, gleaming with a terrifying light. The greater demon surveyed the people before it. Everyone was stunned into stillness, staring right into the huge saucer-like eyes. All of their numbers added together was roughly about the size of one of the greater demon’s eyes.
Qin Wentian also started for a moment as he stared at the cold emotionless eyes. The rumbling sound continued. The body of the greater demon roused shaking the stones away from it. This demon had a human face which exuded a demonic balefulness and was truly a greater demon from the ancient times. It was a greater desolate demon, Tao Wu.

Us juniors must have disturbed the rest of senior. We hope that senior can forgive us.
Ying Teng from the Ying Clan reacted fast, bowing low to the greater demon.
The Tao Wu continued staring at everyone. Several people were soaked in their sweat. They felt as long as this greater demon wanted to, their lives would end with a single swipe from its claws.

Why are there so many?
A thunderous voice rumbled. The sound was like a lightning bolt blasting into the ear drums of the crowd, jolting them so badly that their inner organs trembled.

We knew that Ancient Emperor Yi left his inheritance here. Hence, we paid a visit to Emperor Yu and he allowed us to seek our good fortune in the ancient mountain. After that, we managed to enter this space.
Ying Teng replied. He didn’t say that the reason they could enter this space was because of Qin Wentian.

Go on in then.
That greater demon spoke in a terrifying tone. After that, it lied on the ground once more as it continued to slumber, ignoring all of them. This made everyone heave a sigh of relief.
Qin Wentian and his comrades continued walking forward. An ancient aura could be felt in this place. Indeed, this did seem to be a residence where humans lived in. They halted their steps and gazed upon the majestic immortal palace before them.
For powerful experts in the immortal realms, once they reached a certain level, they naturally possessed the qualifications to enjoy life. They wouldn’t let themselves live too frugally and would usually have their own immortal palace where they and their descendants or other clan members could reside in.
Was the ancient palace before them the place where Ancient Emperor Yi stayed those years ago?
They walked up the stairs in the center, ascending upwards into the immortal palace with a heart filled with reverence for Ancient Emperor Yi. How good would it be to become the master of this immortal palace? Were all the treasures left by Ancient Emperor Yi hidden in the palace?
However, everyone was swiftly disappointed. The immortal palace was completely empty. Although the palace was constructed from valuable materials, they had no way to take any of them away. Also, with a powerful ancient greater demon stationed just outside, who would dare to try anything funny?
They continued walking into the depths of the immortal palace and after a period of time, a terrifying aura could be felt ahead. They halted as a shocking scene appeared in front of their eyes.
Up ahead, there was actually a picture of a golden body. This golden body seemed to be ethereal and was extremely gigantic, towering up into the sky. It exuded an aura of divinity, gushing forth with energy of the divine essence. Everyone felt fear when they glanced at it
Also behind this golden body picture, a number of bronze gigantic gates could be seen. Each gate was incomparably enormous and seemed to have existed since the dawn of time. What was behind these bronze gates exactly? Was it treasure left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi?
What made everyone despair was that before each gate, a greater demon could be seen guarding it. These greater demons from ancient times were all in a deep slumber, it was clear that they have been here for too many years.
The heartbeats of everyone quickened. Could it be that Ancient Emperor Yi not only left his inheritance here, he also left his treasures to his successor?
In that case, the thing Emperor Yu was protecting, wasn’t simply the secret art God’s Hand but was everything left behind by Ancient Emperor Yi.
Ancient Emperor Yi had once dominated the entire immortal realms, he was the true king of this place. How terrifying would his treasures be? It was simply beyond imagination.
At this moment, many people in fact has already forgotten about God’s Hand. Their eyes were on the bronze gates and the treasures of Ancient Emperor Yi. Compared to some obscure secret art, getting the treasures seemed much easier.
Many people sped over, rushing past the golden gigantic figure, arriving before the enormous gates.

BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!
The greater demons outside the three bronze enormous gates opened their eyes as a stifling pressure instantly bore down on everyone, almost forcing them to their knees. They inclined their heads with difficulty as they shouted,
We are juniors of the later generations that came in here with the approval of Emperor Yu. Seniors, please show us mercy.

The pressure weakened. Everyone climbed up only to see these greater demons closing their eyes again, no longer bothering with them. They walked towards the bronze gates and wanted to use strength to force the gates open. However, they discovered that they couldn’t move the gates at all.
Qin Wentian wasn’t with the crowd. He was walking towards the golden figure picture. Immortal energy in his foundation circulated as he stepped out and as he neared, a supreme might from the primordial era blasted right into his body. His bones emitted cracking sounds and with a groan of misery, he coughed out blood as his countenance paled.

This is the true complete version of God’s Hand.
Qin Wentian stared at the golden figure in the picture. With just a glance, he could sense what he said was true. That ethereal golden body was like a corporeal existence. The might gushing forth from it was something from the primordial era, terrifying to the extreme.
Qin Wentian walked step-by-step closer and closer as the energy in his body circulated wildly. His saint-grade immortal foundation unleashed the maximum power it could unleash, withstanding the impact of the runic energy that flowed from the golden figure picture into him. Each mote of energy felt as deadly as the might from the god of death.

This!
Nanfeng Yunxi’s eyes flashed with a strange light when she stared at Qin Wentian’s movement.

Seems like he’s truly about to master the secret art. Only he stands a chance to cultivate the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi.
Nanfeng Shengge smiled. Emperor Yu was here all this while protecting this inheritance while waiting for a fated successor?

Not so simple, he seems to be under great pressure.
Nanfeng Yunxi was a little worried.

It naturally wouldn’t be so easy to cultivate God’s Hand.
Nanfeng Shengge spoke in a low voice. Purgatory and Jun Mengchen were looking at Qin Wentian as well.
At this moment, Jiang Ziyu stepped out. His eyes gleamed with a fearsome light, wanting to see through everything, deciphering the golden figure picture. Slowly moving forward, the energy within his body circulated frenziedly as a powerful might gushed forth from him. This caused Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge to freeze. This fellow was actually so powerful.

BOOM!
A fearsome energy erupted. Jiang Ziyu coughed out blood as he was flung through the air from the impact. The countenances of the experts from the Jiang Clan drastically changed as they sped over in the direction where he flew.

What a fearsome power.
Jun Mengchen stared in that direction. If Qin Wentian just lost control for even a second, he would also be in extreme danger!
