Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 942: Casting a Physique

Panda Novel

"Senior Brother, you’re all here." Jun Mengchen had been there since earlier. And upon seeing Qin Wentian’s arrival, excitement shone in his eyes. After that, he turned to Nanfeng Yunxi and asked, "What happened to you just now?"

"Nothing." Nanfeng Yunxi shook her head, she didn’t want to say anything more.

"Oh." A strange expression appeared on Jun Mengchen’s face, but he didn’t probe any further. Qin Wentian looked at him and asked, "What happened here?"

"This is also an inheritance by an ancient emperor, and it’s an extremely powerful one. It’s incredibly difficult to even take a step forward once you enter that area. Also, the moment you enter, you’ll sense a marvelous force, or even see some unique scenes. I can’t explain it clearly. Senior Brother, you’ll know once you try it," Jun Mengchen replied.

Qin Wentian looked ahead at the area radiating the golden light. He could see several figures already inside it, doing their best to advance forward. It felt like every step was extremely challenging to them, and could only be taken after enduring immense difficulty.

"How is the situation at the other cavern? Why have so many people who first headed there now changed their mind and come here instead?" Hua Taixu stared at Qin Wentian as he asked.

"The Brahma Heavenly Emperor divided his inheritance into nine portions. An individual can only comprehend one portion, and when we arrived, there were only two more open positions available. They were eventually obtained by Zi Daoyang and Zhan Peng, hence, the other geniuses there had no choice but to give up and head over here instead," Qin Wentian explained.

"The inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor is really there?" Hua Taixu’s eyes gleamed. What a pity, to think that they’d missed out on a chance to obtain the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance. But it was strange…between Qin Wentian, Qing`er and Nanfeng Yunxi, none of them managed to get either position?

"Yes, but not only that, the inheritance here isn’t that simple as well." Qin Wentian stared at the body radiating boundless golden light, then asked, "What is that exactly?"

"Senior Brother, I said you should just try it, and you will soon know the answer. Go on." Jun Mengchen grinned, as though he wanted to see how Qin Wentian would fare.

"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. After which, his gaze flickered as he walked towards the region of golden light.

The instant he stepped into it, a golden light shone on him immediately. A moment later, the space around him changed, and Qin Wentian felt like he’d entered another space altogether. In this place, several of the geniuses were attempting the same thing, but all of them seemed to be bogged down by the pressure, and could only move a step forward by making a strenuous effort. The golden body floated in front of them, radiating an incomparably fearsome energy. The closer one got to it, the heavier the repulsion effect would be.

—BOOM!— Qin Wentian stepped forward. However, he felt that the distance between him and the golden body didn’t seem to lessen in the slightest. An intense light shot over, directly gushing into his body. Qin Wentian practically didn’t have time to resist. His body trembled violently, and that beam of light seemed to induce him into creating an incomparably powerful energy within himself.

"This…?" Qin Wentian was somewhat taken aback. What was going on?

He continued moving forward; the golden body floated in the same location and the distance between them remained unchanged. But every step he took caused an intense terrifying beam of light to slam into him. Right now, Qin Wentian’s body was radiating light as well. He could faintly sense that the beam of light was infusing power into him, so much that it felt like it could burst out at any moment.

"What’s happening exactly?" Of course, Qin Wentian hadn’t expected such a situation to occur. He continued advancing step-by-step, only to discover that the distance between him and the golden body still remained the same. Although the distance didn’t seem far, the truth was that it was extremely inaccessible. His aura grew stronger and stronger as beams of light blasted into his body, causing the energy within to build up even more.

But the more it did, the stronger the pressure radiated from the golden body. He faintly sensed that his body was going out of control, as though all the energy in his body was being slowly replaced by the energy infused into him by the golden beams of light.

— BOOM!— A deafening sound rang out, and the energy in Qin Wentian’s body was completely wiped away. Right now, a terrifying wave of energy from a golden beam of light was pushing against him, causing him to retreat explosively, and then blasting him out from that region of golden light. Even after he exited, he still involuntarily took a few steps back as he coughed out blood.

"What the hell?" Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared ahead. His surroundings suddenly became clear again, as though what happened earlier had just been a dream. However, he knew it was reality—he could sense that his attempts to approach the golden body had caused some force to shove him back outside. That golden body was like a terrifying existence, waiting for someone to awaken it.

And not only Qin Wentian, many geniuses who attempted it were all repelled, receiving injuries in the process. They felt their aura fluctuating in an extremely unstable manner. But even so, stubbornness could be seen etched on their faces, and when they stared at the golden body ahead, their eyes gleamed with sharpness.

Earlier, that mysterious gray-robed old man had said that this ancient emperor was also an unrivalled character in the immortal realms, and had fought equally against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. Given how vast the immortal realms are, this was the only man who could fight against the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. In fact, he’d even managed to imprison that unrivalled Brahma Heavenly Emperor here before his death.

Such a character had actually left behind a mysterious golden body here—there must surely be some deeper meaning behind it. However, these secrets weren’t so easily unravelled, and he could only depend on his own comprehension.

"Senior Brother, how are you feeling?" Jun Mengchen grinned. He and Hua Taixu had both already experienced it, and knew how unique the golden body was.

"I still have no way to understand what secrets are hidden here. Let me try again." Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed sharply as he continued, stepping into the region. Once again, he entered that area of golden light. The golden body was like an extremely ancient existence, silently floating there yet exuding a towering heavenly pressure.

Qin Wentian stared at the golden body ahead, adjusting his breathing before taking another step. When the miraculous energy slammed into him, he absorbed it and circulated it within his body before slowly making his way forward.

After this happened several times consecutively, a tyrannical aura could be felt from Qin Wentian. He drew in a deep breath, then re-adjusted the strength of his body. The power of his blood thrummed violently as though wanting to make the energy from the golden light become part of his own strength. After some time, he could faintly sense that the golden body had formed a resonance with his own.

"What a powerful aura. What exactly is that body?" Qin Wentian mused quietly. He took another step forward, causing a thunderous boom to sound out as another, even more terrifying energy blasted into his body, challenging his limits continually. This energy narrowly broke the balance within Qin Wentian’s body, causing him to groan in misery as he almost coughed out a mouthful of blood.

However, he soon stabilized himself. His blood was seething and surging, emitting rumbling sounds. Even his heart started to pound in tandem with that of the golden body, deepening the resonance between them. His heartbeat quickened, as though his heart was about to leap out from his body. Qin Wentian stared at the golden body, his eyes filled with utter shock at the happenings.

pu… Finally, he couldn’t suppress it any longer and coughed out a mouthful of blood. Qin Wentian was blasted out of the region by the energy once more. He had no way to withstand that terrifying pressure.

"What is that existence?" murmured the surrounding people. Qin Wentian’s reaction was the same as the others, trying time and time again, only to fail with each attempt. That floating golden body seemed to be an existence from primordial times, like an indestructible king with eternal life.

"A test. This must be a test for sure, just like that other cavern belonging to the Brahma Heavenly Emperor," someone suggested.

"Such a test is simply too special. How can this be considered a test? How do we pass this?" asked a genius.

"Have you all heard of a Casting Body?" At this moment, a melodious voice rang out. The person who spoke was actually Nanfeng Yunxi. Earlier when Qin Wentian tried the test, she’d also tried it herself, and the end result had only shocked her heart.

"Casting Body?" The expression of everyone froze as they stared at Nanfeng Yunxi. As descendants and disciples of immortal kings and emperors, they hadn’t linked this to the situation, but they had heard of this term before. When Nanfeng Yunxi brought up that possibility, their hearts couldn’t help but tremble.

"Is that really a Casting Body?" a genius asked with quavering voice. Although he spoke in a questioning tone, he’d also felt that this situation did share similar characteristics of effects exuded by Casting Bodies. However, he hadn’t dared to allow his imagination to run wild.

At this place, they actually encountered a legendary Casting Body.

"What is a Casting Body?" Qin Wentian asked, his words causing many to stare with bewilderment at Qin Wentian. This man was someone whose name rocked the City of Ancient Emperors, yet he had no idea what a Casting Body was?

What identity did this Qin Wentian have exactly?

Nanfeng Yunxi looked to Qin Wentian and spoke, "Among the physiques in the immortal realms, there are some who are extremely heaven-defying, granting the people who possessed them with outstanding talent. In fact, there are already quite a few such people in the City of Ancient Emperors. They possessed startling potential, and they had the ability to establish extremely rare physiques once all their potential was ignited. A Casting Body provides the chance for such people of extreme potential to establish their physiques. However, the stronger a physique one has, the more difficult it would be to cast it. However, the power within would be many times more terrifying if one were to succeed."

"Mhm, does this mean that this figure before us was a supreme character? But now he’s a Casting Body and can aid all of us to establish a super strong physique?" Qin Wentian asked.

"You’re overthinking things, how can a Casting Body be so simple? It would already be amazing if one among us could succeed in establishing a supreme physique. The criteria is that first, the potential of the individual has to be heaven-defying." Nanfeng Yunxi rolled her eyes and continued, "If I didn’t guess wrongly, and this is truly a Casting Body, this means that the inheritance here will also be extremely terrifying. At the very least, it wouldn’t lose out to the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. However, to obtain the inheritance, one has to succeed in establishing a powerful physique first. This must be a test to see if one is suitable to receive the inheritance."

Nanfeng Yunxi was ranked third in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, but even so, she’d been exceptionally shocked in her heart. However, Qin Wentian was already prepared in his heart. The ancient emperor that left this inheritance here was on the same level as the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. It wasn’t so strange for a Casting Body to appear here as the test to obtain the inheritance!
