Chapter 1139: Dao Lecture in the Starry Sky

Panda Novel

Qin Wentian coldly laughed as he stared at the experts from Skymist. "Scram!"

As the sound of his voice faded, the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe stepped forward while the experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan stood around him. Their tyrannical auras all blasted onto the bodies of the experts from Skymist Immortal Empire, causing their countenances to drastically change as they paused.

Qin Wentian stepped forward, disregarding the stares of the Skymist experts and walked towards seats in the first ten rows.

This place, there were only 3,000 seats for the lecture of the Great Dao. Even if one wasn't that outstanding, they had to try their best to obtain seats closer to the front than the back.

However, this idea naturally occured to everyone here. All these experts had outstanding talents and powerful combat prowess. They knew they probably had no hope for the lead seats but as for the seats closer to the front row, they still had some opportunity to seize them.

For example for the experts of the White Tiger, Sky Roc and Heavenly Scorpion race, all wanted to occupy the first few rows of seats. No humans or demons here were willing to let too many people surpass them by choosing seats in the back row.

The various experts from the Battle Saint Tribe also stepped out, respectively moving towards different immortal seats in the first few rows. Clearly, this choice of theirs made it so that they were destined to clash with many other experts. For an instant, chaos erupted all of a sudden due to everyone wanting to seize the seats for themselves.

Starting from the third row of seats, the competition between the experts grew more and more intense.

Qin Wentian could feel the trembling in the air, there were already experts beginning combat. He shook his head slightly, those who sought the martial path were always competitive at heart. He then stepped out, and didn't choose an immortal seat that was too near the front. He walked towards a seat in the ninth row but as he was about to step on it, a beautiful maiden suddenly obstructed him. She flashed a charming smile, "This seat is mine."

This maiden was dressed in a fiery red armor, her skin was fair as snow and her alluring curves could be seen by all. She had a headful of red hair, exuding a demonic charm, and it was clear that her true form was a demon. She must be a king among the Heavenly Scorpion Race.

"Sir, please give this seat up to me." That sexy-looking maiden smiled sweetly and stepped forward moving towards that immortal seat. Qin Wentian smiled and replied, "It's not so easy for me to find a seat. The other experts are already contesting for the other seats, I will have to stand strong in determination to my prior decision and take this seat which I've chosen."

As he spoke, he also walked towards the seat. The speed of both of them was extremely quick. The scorpion beauty flashed a smile, her alluring looks would definitely cause many males to hesitate to act against her. Wasting no time, her outstretched hand transformed into a red stinger, preparing to pierce through Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian coldly laughed, an armor of resplendent light formed around him, augmenting his already fearsome defense. Given how terrifying the power of his physique was, he allowed the red stringer to attack him freely while he stabbed out a finger attack towards his opponent.

However, that scorpion beauty actually pushed her chest forward, as her eyes narrowed to slits. Qin Wentian stiffened slightly, his finger changed to a palm as he smashed out with domineering might, blasting the maiden backward as he took the chance to grab the seat.

"Hehe, little brother is truly making me uncomfortable." That scorpion beauty was still full of smiles despite the fact that Qin Wentian has seized the immortal seat. As expected of a poisonous beauty, if her stinger managed to penetrate Qin Wentian's defense earlier, the immense toxicity would instantly invade Qin Wentian, corroding him from within.

Qin Wentian also smiled back. A starry scene appeared in the air as a spirit of terrifying might and suppression pressure appeared, wanting to decimate Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian's will was extremely strong. His body of truth manifested and floated up into the air, retaliating against the pressure with God's Hand, shattering the spirit. After that, astral light covered his body, he has successfully claimed this seat. As long as he sat there and didn't move from it, no others could seize it away from him.

Before him, the combat between experts continued. For seats in the second row, one of the seats were already taken by Jia Nantian. The other seat was actually taken by a demonic beast which didn't attract too much attention earlier. This demonic beast was extremely terrifying and was a lion that came from the land of desolation, the Ten Thousand Mountain Range. It was a variant-type demonic beast, a descendant of the Golden Lion King. There were wings on its back and when it reverted to its true form, golden armor enveloped it completely, seemingly indestructible. The pureness of his bloodline was also extremely startling and a roar from this lion could break mountains and rivers, even tear apart the space here.

Many people sighed silently, these demonic beasts from the Ten Thousand Mountain Range were truly extremely rare and exceedingly powerful. This variant lion-type beast had a total of two bloodlines, allowing it to have the power of flight as well as the fearsome defense and devouring ability of lions. It was a truly rarely seen demon king.

There were three seats in the third row, one of the white tiger kings managed to obtain one, a demonic dragon from the Western Sea Dragon Island obtained another, and the third seat was obtained by the Fiery-eyed Berserk Ape from before. He only managed to obtain that seat by entering his berserk state. Even for the third row, the seats are not so easily obtained.

The competition for the fourth and fifth rows grew even more intense as the seats were taken one after the other. The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe and Southern Phoenix Clan all acted and seized some seats for themselves. For the Battle Saint Tribe, because Qin Wentian didn't want to attract too much attention, the experts of the tribe all chose seats from the fifth to tenth row. Although these couldn't be considered the front seats, it was still pretty high quality in comparison to the rest.

Qin Wentian discovered that the people from the Sky Demon Palace, God Beast Sect, Skymist Immortal Empire, these peak powers of human cultivators, all eventually chose to give up the contest for the front row seats. Compared to demonic beasts, they were more low-profile and weren't as tyrannical. After all in this particular sacred academy, the number of demons exceeded humans by many times.

However, there were also extremely powerful individuals among these powers who were temporarily enduring patiently for now.

Qin Wentian also heard that the Beast God Sect of the Great Snow Mountains were kings of taming demonic beasts. How could they refrain from taming and capturing some king-level greater demons when these demons are right in front of their eyes. However, they didn't make a move in the sacred academy, preferring to maintain a low profile, shrouded by mystery. If they really dared to make a move and captured some greater demons here, the other greater demons would definitely view them with hatred. Naturally, those demons that could enter the sacred academy, would surely not be easy to antagonize.

The remaining seats near the front were all secured one by one. Gradually, the number of seats in the front rows were all completely taken, leaving only the middle and back rows. As more time passed, all 3,000 seats were completely taken and the atmosphere returned to its earlier calm again. The thousands of experts sat quietly in their seats, staring ahead at the statue before them.

This sacred academy was opened for a lecture on the Great Dao. All of them were very curious regarding this, would this lecture be useful to their cultivation?

The statue ahead still sat there quietly with no hints of life but everyone believed that this was no statue but was a real life human instead. After all, this place was the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, how could a statue give a lecture?

"Close your eyes, focus your spirit." An ethereal voice drifted over from the void. As the sound of this voice faded, everyone felt a state of tranquility. They quelled the disturbances in their soul and quieted down, following the instructions. At this moment, on the thousands of immortal seats, silence was everywhere.

Gradually, the immortal seats all suddenly flashed with light. Everyone on them felt a sense of illusion in their minds, it seemed like they were no longer within the academy and was in the vast emptiness of the great void.

"You can open your eyes now." That ethereal voice rang out once more. Everyone opened their eyes and an instant later, their expressions all froze.

Right now, they were actually no longer in the sacred academy, but were in the boundless starry skies instead.

Also, they were still sitting on their immortal seats. Boundless astral light cascaded down from the heavens, the constellations around them seemed akin to constellations within the nine heavenly layers, all of them shining with resplendent light, shining their light upon these supreme geniuses.

Before them, that statue seemed to open its eyes. A faint projection covered in mist appeared, emitting no aura. But it was precisely because of this that everyone felt fear in their hearts. The strength of this person was assuredly extremely strong, far surpassing their imaginations.

"This time, the sacred academy is opened as this is the first twelve years cycle to have passed. After this, every twelve years from now, there would be a lecture expounding on the Great Dao." That person slowly spoke. Such an opportunity was extremely rare. All of them had to do their best to comprehend and gain insight from the lecture, upgrading themselves.

"For immortal-foundation experts, you guys use the law immortal energy of the heavens and earth to establish your immortal foundation, cultivating various different attributes and upgrade your immortal might. However, do you know where this law energy originates from?" That person continued, issuing a question to everyone.

"I heard that the heavens and earth have their own original source of energy, these law attribute energies are wisps of transformed energy from the original source. My inheritary memories recorded that the first among my ancestors was birthed by this original source of energy, transformed into a golden-winged emperor roc. He wasn't restricted by the heavens and earth and could slash apart heavenly might with a single swipe of his wings. Spreading his wings, he could traverse the world in an instant. No one else could be comparable to him." The king among the sky rocs spoke in an incomparably tyrannical tone. Jia Nantian wanted nothing more than to pursue the path of his ancestor, becoming an existence like that.

"You are partially right. However, even if you are a pure-blooded golden-winged roc king, there's no way for you to directly control that original source of energy. You still have to depend on yourself to gain insight." That misty figure was as though it could sense the arrogance in Jia Nantian's heart. This figure wanted to urge Jia Nantian to take things a step at a time, solidifying his own foundation instead of vainly pursuing some vague past glory due to being blinded by his inherited memories.

"Junior understands senior's intention." Jia Nantian respectfully replied. Although he was a king among sky rocs, he didn't dare to peer down on everything with disdain. The senior before him could crush him to death with a single finger, and no matter how strong his ancestor was, Jia Nantian after all, was himself and not his ancestor.

"However, for pure-blooded demonic beast like you, you guys truly have an innate advantage. Your talent and potential is undoubtable, as long as you grow step-by-step, you would easily be able to become an immortal emperor smoothly with no kinks on your path of cultivation. Such talent definitely would cause many demons and humans to be filled with envy but similarly, you have to understand that such talent is also a form of restriction. The path of your growth is basically already set, you have no choice but to walk down the path of your ancestor. Compared to demonic beasts, humans have a much higher moldability factor."

That misty figure spoke, everyone here could clearly understand this point. Naturally, this referred to humans with extraordinary talent. For ordinary humans, they could only resign to their fates of staring at the backs of these extraordinary individuals, unable to catch up to them forever.
