The Ancient Godly Monarch
Chapter 153: Warbeast Index



A day has passed since the assassination of Qin Wentian. Although the Star Emperor Academy was still on guard, the previous restrictions and locking had been removed because people could once again enter and leave freely.


Janus walked out of the academy as he walked slowly on the streets outside. The calm and serene look of his betrayal was none of his emotions, no one knew what he was thinking.


The investigation carried out by the Emperor of Star Academy was too frightening with regards to Qin Wentian's murder. All Yuanfu Cultivators must announce their movements on the day of the murder and must have at least three other witnesses who can verify their statements.


With such a strict method, those with no basis of suspicion would be crossed off the checklist. It's only a matter of time before the truth comes out.


But at this moment, Janus seemed to be worried about something. His brows were tightly tied as he muttered to himself.


Suddenly, his footsteps stopped and his aura instantly exploded along with the release of his Astral Souls.


Pstt. Beside him, a spear similar to a sinister and venomous snake appeared at lightning-fast speed.


Janus roared furiously as a terrible storm enveloped his body. He constantly lashed out with his palm, blocking the tyrannical attacks of the spear users.


Following which, several Yuanfu Cultivators appeared around him. They were all black-robed and had their features obscured by masks. The killing intent they were emitting was clearly visible as they made their way towards Janus.


Not a single word was said. It was as if they had come for the death of Janus.


These events caused Janus' face to become extremely ugly as he shouted furiously, “What? Do you all mean to silence me by killing? "


As his voice faded, Janus discovered that the black-robed Yuanfu Cultivators had stopped their movements. This scenario caused Janus to tremble in fear, as his face turned deathly pale.


He realized that he had just said the wrong thing.


Indeed, the Yuanfu Cultivators all removed their masks and revealed their true faces. Upon seeing them, Janus' face, instantly turned black.


"A ... What are you doing?"


What appeared was actually a Yuanfu expert from the Star Emperor Academy.


Obviously, Janus had fallen into a trap.


"Older Janus, there's no need for you to continue acting any longer." In front of Janus, the Thousand-Hand Elder appeared. His gaze was ice-cold as he continued, "The investigation shows that you are one of the most suspicious among all Yuanfu Cultivators. As expected, you fell into a trap. Janus, who directed you? "


Because Janus said the words ‘What? Did you all intend to silence me by killing, "it was enough to prove that there was someone behind him who also wanted to kill Qin Wentian.


Although Janus hated Qin Wentian, the grudge between them was not enough for Janus to take such a huge risk. Before he made an assassination attempt, he already knew that if he succeeded, everything would be for naught. At that time, he would leave the Star Emperor Academy and depart from Chu.


Too bad, he failed.


"Who do you think has the ability to make me work for him?" Janus coldly smiled.


A Thousand Hands cringing. Janus' words seemed to hint that Chu Tianjiao might be the one behind all of this.


But Thousand-Hand still had some suspicions about the truth of his words.


A cold light shone in his eyes as he stared at Janus. He knew that it would be very difficult to extract information from Janus.


"Killing a genius in the academy regardless of your status as an elder, your crimes deserve death." Thousand-Hand coldly announced. "Execute him now."


As the sound of his voice rang out, intense killing intent gushed out from the surrounding Yuanfu experts.


“Thousand-Hand, you didn't even stop to consider my contribution to the academy. At the very least, I am still an elder and have worked hard for many years. How could you announce my death like this? ”Shouted Janus, full of reluctance, when his facial expression turned very bad. He never expected Thousand-Hand to be so ruthless.


However, how could Thousand-Hand still be bothered about it? Turning around, with his back facing Janus, he walked towards the Emperor Star Academy while the sound of battle rang out behind him.


And after a short moment, a corpse lay quietly in the path of the Royal Capital. Someone standing next to the corpse ordered, “Give him a proper burial. Whatever happens, he is still an elder in our academy. "


Janus' death was only a very small problem in the whole scheme. It was only capable of causing a small wave to ripple through the Star Emperor Academy.


But in reality, his death made things move. Emperor Star Academy had made their attitude clear with their actions. Not only that, they were still endlessly depleting their resources in an attempt to figure out who was the mastermind behind this.


Qin Wentian was devastated when news of Janus' death reached him. The elder who had always made things difficult for him had actually died silently. Not only that, the killer is him.


Qin Wentian would naturally not feel sorry for Janus. In that assassination attempt, Janus nearly killed him and injured Mo Qingcheng.


The drop of blood followed by the glowing smile on the face of that peerless beauty was something Qin Wentian could never forget.


At this moment, within the Star Emperor Academy.


In front of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, Qin Wentian tilted his head as he studied the majestic building in front of him.


Not even the elders in the academy had any authority. And if one wanted to use the Meteor Yuan Stone to increase their Jade Medallion level, the number of stones required was so astronomical that it was impossible.


And thus, it was as if the entrance to the tier 7 Heavenly Star Pavilion was solely prepared for the champion of Jun Lin's Supper.


At this moment, Qin Wentian took a step forward and entered the pavilion.


After he obtained the number one position at the banquet, his Emperor Jade Medallion level was upgraded to 7th grade.


Before he stepped into level 7, Qin Wentian chose to stop at level 6 first. More than at level 6 was the best Yuanfu level cultivation art and the highest level of earth level innate technique.


Qin Wentian was here for only one purpose: he wanted the Yuanfu Index of the Garuda Movement Technique. After finding it, he borrowed it and placed it inside his interspatial ring. As for the other innate techniques, Qin Wentian did not bother to even look at them. Because for other innate techniques, he had not even mastered it to the peak of his perfection. It was meaningless for him to spend time to gain more insight into other types of innate techniques.


Although the level of innate techniques correlated to the level of strength he possessed, the higher his level was, the stronger his innate techniques were, it remained meaningless if one lacked the ability to control strength. Instead, it might even backfire.


One example is the Great Dream Halberd Art. Although his class was not that high, but since he was the one who created it, the level of power he contained and the power displayed when Qin Wentian unleashed it was extremely high.


As he walked up the stairs located on the 6th floor, at the top of the stairs, Qin Wentian saw an old man quietly sitting there. The old man's body was covered in dust, and even his hair had become a silvery-gray color. It is not known how many years he has been sitting there.


"Senior." Qin Wentian called out.


"you can continue." It was as if the old man recognized Qin Wentian, as he spoke in a low voice.


Qin Wentian did not say anything else and bowed to the old man. Level 7 is forbidden, and there will definitely be a younger generation who want access to it. Thus, the protector here would undoubtedly be one of the highest experts in the academy.


And after Qin Wentian arrived at the 7th level of the Heavenly Star Pavilion, he looked at the bookshelves filled with many Indexes of cultivation arts and innate techniques.


In addition to the bookshelf, in the other direction there were three other entrances. And above these three entrances, from left to right the words 7, 8 and 9 are carved above the entrance respectively.


It was as if the three entrances at this level represented the 7th, 8th and 9th levels of the Heavenly Star Pavilion.


As if this level was the limit, there was no other way to proceed upwards.


As for this mysterious tier 7, Qin Wentian speculated and had many guesses about it, but who would have thought it would be so simple.


Three entrances and one bookcase.


Qin Wentian first went to the bookshelf to take a look. After a while, his heart trembled with indescribable emotions. These were all Heaven's Volition-level Cultivation Arts, and a single one of them that appeared was enough to shake the entire Chu State.


And other than this cultivation art, Qin Wentian looked at the volume slot beside them. On the surface of the volume, some large font words are written.


"Warbeast Index."


Qin Wentian opened it, and very quickly, he was engrossed in the content written on it.


"In the Nine Heavenly Layers, there were countless Martial Constellations. Each of these constellations has their own advantages. Powerhouse will use stronger constellations while weaker powers will use lower constellations. However, there was clearly a line of cleavage between the different types of Martial Constellations. His Highness Sect Sect had once gathered an incomparable existence from the Grand Xia Empire that had summarized the Astral Soul Type Beast before. Of all that, they selected the 360 most powerful Astral Soul type Beasts to be recorded into the Warbeast Index, each of which ranked Astral Souls. ”


This paragraph is the primer, and also the reason why the Warbeast Index was created.


"His Highness the Heaven Sect, Grand Xia Empire."


Qin Wentian muttered. His Majesty's Heaven Sect should be an extremely powerful sect while the Grand Xia Empire should also be a place of unimaginable power.


Not only that, ever since he was young, Qin Wentian had been under the tutelage of Uncle Black. He was very familiar and even analyzed the constellations of the 5th Heavenly Layer and below. He naturally knew that the strength of Stellar Martial Cultivators directly depended on the type and strength of their Astral Souls that came from Martial Constellation.


But Black Uncle had never once grouped the Astral Souls together in their respective types and had not specifically asked him to study the beast-type Astral Soul, and their individual rankings.


Qin Wentian flipped the Warbeast Index open. The pages were filled with images as well as text.


"Double Winged Horned Python, ranked number 360. The Martial Constellation is located in the 4th Heavenly Layer. Those who condensed the Astral soul from him would gain an incredible boost in their agility, as well as an increase in tyranny in defense and attack. The increase in stats from the Astral Soul could be said to be extremely balanced, without any obvious flaws.


"Skyember Demonic Lion Astral Soul, also ranked 360. This star race was at the 4th Heavenly Layer, and the Stellar Martial Cultivators that condensed Astral Souls from it would have a reduction in speed. However, their attacks would be strengthened to an unimaginable level while their defenses would be upgraded as well. "


The Skyember Demonic Astral Soul was slightly stronger compared to the Double Winged Horned Python, the advantages it had in attack power, reducing the slight flaws in speed.


"Think that the description was all detailed so far."


Qin Wentian slowly turned the page. He already had a lot of knowledge about Astral Souls, but if one wanted to write an Index like this, knowledge alone was not enough. One still needs to update the index periodically as there are new and more powerful constellations being discovered every now and then.


Qin Wentian was a bit confused. Why would an index like this appear in the tier 7 Heavenly Star Pavilion?
