The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 174: Schematic

On the battlefield, hovering in midair, Orchon's father had an expression of extreme sadness on his face.

Orchon's talent could be considered several times above average; in the Ou Clan, he was one of the few talented youngsters who was truly worth nurturing, yet now, he was one of the few, he was completely conquered by Qin Wentian. He would never forget that his younger son, Orfon, had been killed by Qin Wentian as well.

The green vein on his forehead seemed to pulsate, as his killing intent surged to its limit.

"Janus is useless," Orchon's father secretly cursed. Janus, who had been Orchon's personal teacher, had a very close relationship with him. He secretly provided a large amount of cultivation resources to Janus, and as long as Janus succeeded in killing Qin Wentian, he would organize Janus' escape as well as reward him abundantly.

However, Janus had failed, which in turn led to Orchon's death today. He could not help but blame himself; if he was more concerned with Qin Wentian back then, regardless of the cost, he would arrange for the Yuanfu cultivators to kill him long ago.

Currently, Qin Wentian was invincible in the Arterial Circulation realm. If anyone wanted to kill him, they could only do so using Yuanfu experts, but Chu Tianjiao was unwilling to disturb that thin line of balance so quickly.

Despite their gains in numbers, the Royal Academy suffered defeat after defeat everywhere. Most of them possessed the same strength as the other formations of the Star Emperor Academy and would take quite a long time to complete. However Qin Wentian was different; as long as he saw a slightly stronger formation, he would immediately head to destroy the students there. He was unstoppable, and if that was the case, the defeat of the Royal Academy would come sooner or later.

Upon seeing this happen, Orchon's father was secretly happy in his heart. He whispered, "Your Majesty, if Qin Wentian does not die, it will be very difficult for us to obtain victory."

Chu Tianjiao glanced at Orchon's father. Naturally, he could tell what Orchon's father was thinking. After a while, his gaze flickered as he shouted out the command, "dissolve."

As the voice of the command rang out, the students of the Royal Academy retreated completely. Upon seeing their opponents retreat, the spirits of the students belonging to the Star Emperor Academy surged even higher. With a sense of victory in their mouths, they chased after their opponents who were trying to kill them, but even so, they were still clear enough to know when to stop. After all, there were still many Yuanfu cultivators around. If they go too far, no one knows what will happen.

Eventually, both sides retreated to their original positions. Copies were lying in the middle of the battlefield, their blood dying red.

Although the two sides had only been at loggerheads for a short period of time, the casualties had already reached over 80 deaths. This is the reality of a cruel war.

On both sides, there were many with reddened eyes. Those who died there before were all their friends. Not long ago, they had just gathered together and had been rejoicing, but to think that now they were all becoming ice-cold corpses. Only now do they understand the cruelty of reality. In the future, if they wanted to become stronger, they would definitely experience things even worse than this.

Qin Wentian stood in front of the crowd belonging to Emperor Star Academy, raised his head and turned his gaze to the Yuanfu cultivators standing in midair. The cold arrogance in his eyes was tinged with a terrifying demon killing intent.

The students in the Royal Capital were all young people. Originally, this place was supposed to be a paradise for those looking to cultivate, but now, due to the fight for power, it had become a battlefield where the students were slaughtered in cold blood.

Chu Tianjiao and the others also stared back at Qin Wentian, as a murderous impulse flickered in their eyes. Qin Wentian was already on the 'to be killed' target list'. The reason why they could not do so was because of their fear of the retaliatory actions that the Star Emperor Academy would take.

"Retreat." Chu Tianjiao coldly shouted. On his orders, the people from the Royal Academy started to retreat.

"Back to the academy." Ren Qianxing's orders, and the people from the Star Emperor Academy also began to retreat.

Although the Star Emperor Academy won this clash, no one felt comfortable. Instead, everyone felt as if they had the weight of a mountain on their backs, their hearts all filled with burdens. This is just the beginning of the war.

————————————————————————————

In the inner hall of the Royal Academy, Xiao Lan, Chu Tianjiao, as well as the people from the Ye and Ou Clans all gathered there.

Xiao Lan's fingers tapped on the back of her arm, but she had a very heavy look on her face. Naturally, he was very unhappy with the outcome of the previous clash.

"I don't want to stay in Chu for too long. At most, in three months, Emperor Star Academy should be ours. ”The faint voice of Xiao Lan was as if she was giving a death order that had to be completed by any means. In order to obtain the secrets hidden within the Star Emperor Academy by the Azure Emperor, the first step was for the Star Emperor Academy to submit to them. If they refuse, destruction is the only way left. However, he did not have time to stay here for so long.

He still had many formidable opponents waiting for him in the nine major states. If he remained here for too long, the cultivation of his opponents might exceed him by miles when he returned. If that was the case, it would be very embarrassing.

"Young Master Xiao, I don't think there will be anyone who can match Qin Wentian in the Artery Circulation Realm." Orchon's father said, "If we want the Star Emperor Academy, we have no choice but to win the battle with us Yuanfu Cultivators. "

Xiao Lan was undaunted when she heard the suggestion. He turned to Chu Tianjiao and asked, "What do you think of this?"

Chu Tianjiao was silent for a moment before she replied in a low voice, "I'll find some very powerful Natural Artery Circulation Cultivators from our military and get them into our Royal Academy before getting involved in the Arterial Circulation war again."

"And if you still fail to win?" Xiao Lan asked again.

"If that's the case, we have no choice but to involve them with Yuanfu cultivators." Chu Tianjiao calmly spoke. The Yuanfu experts were all talented elites from Chu. If he could avoid a battle at the Yuanfu level, of course he would avoid it. Because once the war begins, the overall strength of the Chu State will definitely suffer.

"Qin Wentian, he ..." Father Orchon was as if he wanted to deliberately remind Chu Tianjiao.

Chu Tianjiao also wanted Qin Wentian's death, but she had to carefully consider all the possibilities from different points of view before making a move.

"We don't have to kill him." Someone from the Ye Clan spoke. He was none other than Ye Liuyang.

"Old Ye, what's on your mind?" Chu Tianjiao asked as she turned her gaze to Ye Liuyang.

"There must be a secret hidden in Qin Wentian's body. We can catch him alive. Even if we fail, the Star Emperor Academy and Gongyang Hong will not be angry. If we succeed, we won't kill him. With him in our clutches, the Emperor of the Star Academy will definitely refrain from shooting rats for fear of breaking the vase, and we will then be able to enjoy the benefits. If Gongyang Hong comes and demands Qin Wentian back, we can let him go back then. But during this period of time, it will be enough for us to get things done. ”

Ye Liuyang had a sly expression on his face, causing Chu Tianjiao's eyes to brighten as he laughed, “Good plan! But how do we continue? "

Ye Liuyang glanced at Chu Tianjiao. From the seemingly calm expression on Chu Tianjiao's face, he understood that Chu Tianjiao had long wanted to capture Qin Wentian alive. He was just waiting for someone else to make a suggestion. The meaning behind his actions goes without saying.

The relationship between Qin Wentian and Ye and the Ou Clan was very bad.

"Klan Ou will lead while our Ye Clan will help." Ye Liuyang spoke as he and Chu Tianjiao turned their gazes towards Orchon's father.

Orchon's father could only silently curse their cunning in his heart while maintaining a friendly expression on the surface. "Good."

"Since we have decided, you can all discuss and proceed with the plan." Chu Tianjiao laughed, "No matter if this succeeds or fails, I will not make things difficult for the people of your two clans."

——————————————————————————————

After returning to the academy, Qin Wentian immediately began his cultivation. That

the previous fierce battle had consumed the energy stored in his body at an astounding rate, so he used Yuan Meteor Stones to replenish his strength while summarizing his Divine Yuan Energy simultaneously. When he finally regained his strength, he could feel that the arterial pathways seemed to have undergone a change, as if they had somehow developed. It was obvious that such an intense battle in a chaotic battle would stimulate his cultivation base, thus continuously increasing his strength.

In his heart, Qin Wentian was still very worried as his strength was still lacking. If he were in Yuanfu, where his Arterial Pathways were turning into spirals, the Astral Energy within his body would turn into a liquid state when his Yuanfu (Yuan Palace) form was completed. The consumption of Astral Energy he expended in battle would be ignored that it was not worth mentioning.

In the Yuanfu Realm, the Astral Energy in one's body would be converted into a liquid state. Each drop of Yuan liquid contained a large amount of Astral Energy.

At the same time, a Yuan Reservoir would form inside one's body. As the drops of Yuan Energy filled the reservoir, the storage of one's Astral Energy within the reservoir could be said to be almost infinite, never depleted.

According to one's cultivation level, the stronger one grew, the larger the Yuan Reservoir would expand, thus allowing more drops of Yuan Energy to be stored within it. And once the cultivator stepped onto the top of Yuanfu, the Yuan Reservoir would turn into the Yuan Ocean. From there, one could nurture their Astral Soul within the ocean and eventually condense the Astral Nova.

Regarding what happened after that, Qin Wentian was not so clear. Perhaps it would be similar to what he saw in the memory fragment of that tiny Astral Being where countless mighty existences standing outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect could manifest a terrifying constellation, but was it the region after the Heavenly Dipper? Qin Wentian could not be certain. Qin Wentian wondered, just how powerful was that old fog? He should have been at an extremely frightening level that Qin Wentian could not comprehend at the moment.

Thinking of this caused Qin Wentian to be slightly depressed. His father was a very powerful role model, but look at him now, struggling with setbacks on every corner. However, Qin Wentian also knew that true experts only reached where they stood now as their feet were firmly planted on the ground, moving forward step by step, armed with nothing but determination. He believed that he would reach that level sooner or later.

After completing his cultivation, Qin Wentian went to the Divine Weapon Pavilion once again. He was not worried about his own because he knew that the Yuanfu experts from the Star Emperor Academy would protect him from the shadows.

A Liuyan personally received it himself. Qin Wentian then summoned several weapon experts to help him create Divine Weapons as he scribbled Divine Traces onto them at insane speeds.

Today, the weapons experts who witnessed Qin Wentian in action, were all stunned in silence. Before this, they had heard many rumors about Qin Wentian, but today, after seeing his skills, they were truly impressed, almost to the point of respect.

Overall Chu, not many powers could afford the materials needed to create so many Divine Weapons. However, An Liuyan was endlessly accommodating his every request. Qin Wentian could only secretly record this kindness in his heart.

After returning to the Star Emperor Academy, Qin Wentian and the Elders spread the Divine Weapon to the more distinguished students in preparation for their second match against the Royal Academy.

And finally, the second clash immediately began, occurring on the same battlefield as the first.

This time, there were even more people on the side of the Royal Academy; their number was about twice that of the Star Emperor Academy, grandiose and grand, emitting a terrifying pressure. Those Yuanfu cultivators stood in midair, looking down from above as their killing aura permeated the air.

Qin Wentian stood on the ground. He could feel an unfriendly look of hatred staring straight at him. Raising his head, he looked up into the air and saw killing intent flashing across several pairs of eyes.

Xiao Lan calmly glanced at Qin Wentian; the expression in his eyes was like someone looking down on an ant-like existence. He, who came from one of the factions of the Nine Mystical Palace, would naturally not put Qin Wentian in his eyes. Since Qin Wentian rejected the opportunity he offered him, it meant that Qin Wentian's end was already decided. If not for the prevention of the Heavenly Sovereign Dipper, he would have sent people to finish off the old Qin Wentian.

In his eyes, although Qin Wentian's talent could be considered quite good, he had no idea how high Heaven was. Not only that, in front of those who were superior to him, he also did not know his place.
