The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 49: A Thousand Handprints

Traces of laughter could be seen in Qin Wentian's eyes as the Mustang approached. He stood up and respectfully called out a greeting, "Master Mustang."

"Sit down." Mustang glanced at Qin Wentian as a smile as well, appearing on his face. Today, Qin Wentian gave him a big surprise.

"Qin Wentian, you do have guts. I can't believe you dared to kill Orfon in front of so many people. "Mustang continued," Ou Clan; they belong to one of the aristocratic clans and have great power and authority.I'm afraid that your killing at Orfon today, is too conspicuous, too conspicuous, and they've put you on their radar. "

"Didn't Master Mustang tell me, whether I kill or not kill, that the authority and power of the Ou Clan will remain unchanged?" Qin Wentian replied with a laugh. Since Orfon had initiated this by trying to kill him in the Dark Forest, there was already no compromise between the two of them. Naturally, Qin Wentian would not expect any mercy from the Ou Clan even if he had saved Orfon.

“Maybe it is, but it is still very dangerous before you release your Astral Souls, and show your talent. But thankfully, all these turbulent waves have temporarily passed. Given how things are right now, even if the Ou Clan or the Ye Clan wants to deal with you, they still have to consider the attitude of our Star Emperor Academy. "

Mustang laughed, “Of course, your personal strength is still the most important factor, in any case, the spear in the light of the day was easily avoided, but the arrow in the dark is difficult to defend. If they wanted to kill someone, there would be many methods for them to do so without leaving a trace. So it would be better for you to increase your cultivation and be very careful whenever you have to leave the academy field.

"Understood." Qin Wentian nodded.

"Oh yes, I'm here because I want to give you some information regarding the Star Emperor Academy. The history of our academy is even longer than that of the Chu Country. Our founder is known as the Viridian Emperor. It was said that 3,000 years ago, there were only a handful of Stellar martial cultivators. Thus, the Viridian Emperor established the Star Emperor Academy, which was heralded in the new age of Stellar Martial Cultivators.

Mustang continued, “Currently the Star Emperor Academy is fully led by Stellar Martial Cultivators. The upper management consisted of the principal, 3 vice principals, 9 supreme elders, 36 elders, as well as an unknown number of guest elders. And as other school residents, they were all students. ”

“The students of the Star Emperor Academy are only considered to have graduated after they stepped into the Yuanfu Realm. Although each new applicant consisted of several hundred students, the majority needed a very long amount of time before they could enter the Yuan Realm. Thus, once one of the students had graduated and stepped into the Yuanfu Realm, they would be able to become a guest elder in the academy if they so desired. ”

"Even the guest elders are all in the Yuanfu Realm?" Qin Wentian was surprised, the strength of the Star Emperor Academy was too terrifying.

“True, these guest elders were originally students under 36 elders. After they graduated, there were some who still wanted to remain in the academy for cultivation purposes. If that was the case, they would take on the title as guest elders, assisting their respective teachers in guiding the new students. After all, in each batch of new students, only the top 30 in the ranking competition were entitled to choose one of the 36 elders as their teacher. As for the other students, they were taught and mentored by the guest elders under one of the 36 elders. "

"Of course, don't underestimate the guest elders. The few guest elders had already far exceeded their original teachers in their cultivation. "Mustang smiled as he introduced the facts from the Star Emperor Academy to Qin Wentian and Fan Le. Both understand. If in the future, Senior Sister Luo Huan or Brother Brother Mountain stepped into the Yuanfu Realm, they would be able to choose to become guest elders under the Mustang.

“i have not accepted students from this new group of students. You two, will you study under me? ”Mustang looked at Qin Wentian and Fan Le, finally revealing his intentions as to why he had come.

Qin Wentian nodded in agreement. The main reason why he came to the Star Emperor Academy was because of the Mustang. Naturally, he became a disciple under the Mustang. However, Fan Le was agitated as his eyes flickered. He laughed, with a bit of convolutions, before stating, “Bos, I think that the 36 elders of the Star Emperor Academy will fight each other to accept you as their disciple now. Why don't we delay the matter first, considering it slowly, as we receive "Internship Gifts" from various elders to gauge their sincerity? "

The Mustang froze after hearing Fan Le's words and, seeing the unfortunate and shameless expression on Fan Le's face, the Mustang really wanted to violently beat up this fatty fatty. This Fatty actually wanted to blackmail the elders in broad daylight – how brave!

Turning his head around, Mustang saw that Qin Wentian was also grinning at him, causing his hatred towards fat to increase. He took out two secret manuals from within his robe, passing them to Qin Wentian, as he replied, "One of them is a cultivation method, while the other is an innate technique. The cultivation method can be considered a top-tier cultivation art of the Yuanfu Realm, and is enough to support your cultivation until you have stepped into the Yuanfu Realm. Innate techniques could be considered as Earth-Grade, Mid-tier techniques, and only cultivators in the Yuanfu realm could truly unleash his full strength. As such, it should be considered quite difficult to cultivate. Take them, let it be considered as 'Apprentice Gift'. "

The cultivation method could be separated by their cultivation world. For a Yuanfu level cultivation method, it would be sufficient enough to support cultivators to the Yuanfu Realm. For the Heavenly Dipper cultivation method, then he would be able to support enough cultivators to allow him to reach the Heavenly Dipper Realpent.

Innate techniques can be classified into 3 different classes with a total of 9 levels.3 different classes stand for Human, Earth, and Heaven Levels. While the 9 levels are called low, middle, and upper levels for each of the three classes. The Human Grade Technique refers to those used by the cultivators of the Artery Circulation Realm, while the Earth Level technique is for those in the Yuanfu Realm.

"Teacher, thank you so much." Qin Wentian, without a trace of decency, received two gifts, as he shouted the words "Teacher" with affection and fervor, causing the Mustang to roll its eyes. But soon, even the Mustang could not maintain its firm expression as long as he laughed. This matter with Qin Wentian was finally over.

"Ahem, teacher, what about me?" Fan Le blinked his eyes at the Mustang.

"Don't do this teacher, I know I was wrong before." Fan Le's face immediately sank, causing Qin Wentian and Mustang to burst into laughter. This fatty, he was completely shameless.

"Fat, I already have a cultivation method suitable for myself, so this cultivation method is for you." Qin Wentian handed over the Yuanfu Realm cultivation art to Fan Le, but kept the innate technique to himself.

"thank you. What's the innate technique? "Fan Le curiously asked, before Qin Wentian replied," 'Thousand Handprints'. "

“This set of innate techniques is very difficult to cultivate, and at the limit of this peak, the user will be able to release a thousand palm prints. It could probably only be described as an earth shake. The Elder Thousand-Hands was famous for him cultivating this particular technique, and hence got the nickname 'Thousand-Hands'. Qin Wentian, you should try and learn this. "Mustang sincerely reminded Qin Wentian.

"Yes, I will." Qin Wentian tilted his head in agreement. He had already achieved an almost complete mastery over the Dragon Subduing Fist, and as for the cultivation art, he had a Spiritual Refinement Method as well as a Dreamcast Art. Now that he had another innate technique, the Thousand Traces Hand, it couldn't be better.

"This is the Jade Emperor Star Medal for the both of you. You should both spend this prison month focusing on your cultivation. After the two of you are released, I will ask your senior to fill you with the current events of our Emperor Star Academy. "

The mustang left immediately after, while Fan Le went to study the cultivation art of the Yuanfu level.

Qin Wentian flipped the pages of the Thousand Traces Hand manual. From the surface, this particular innate technique looked extremely simple. There were only five martial imprint methods: Diamond Traces, Spinning Sea Traces, Empty Traces, Lonely Traces, and Great Thousand-handed Traces!

The first martial imprint, Diamond Imprint, emphasized herculean strength and boundless power, the epitome of violence. The 2nd martial imprint, Revolving Sea Imprint, refers to the endless waves of oceanic tides – radiates with a force greater than the last, the gentleness mixed with violence … up to the Thousand Hands Hand Trail, where every time you appeared, the pressure and might be released by the thousands of palm prints would be akin to a thousand hands bodhisattva, flooding heaven and earth.

“This Thousand Hand Printing Technique, despite having abnormal strength, consumes too much energy. Using the Yuan Energy in your body to manifest a terrifying palm and attack your enemies with it. "murm Qin Wentian. This innate technique was extremely powerful, but it consumed too much energy.

"Spiritual Completion Method, Divine Traces." Qin Wentian suddenly thought of a distant possibility. The first level of the Spiritual Refinement Method required a first-rate divine imprint to transform the Astral Energy in one's body into Divine Energy. If that was the case, if he were to use a first-rate palm-shaped divine imprint to aid in his energy conversion, in addition to this Innate Thousand Hand Scoring technique, wouldn't the released power be more terrifying?

As he thought of this, Qin Wentian's heart started pounding with excitement. In his memory, there was indeed a palm-shaped divine imprint. This type of divine imprint was the main one used to create a glove-type divine weapon to increase attack power.

With this thought in his mind, Qin Wentian began to carry out his plan, and was cultivating using the Spiritual Completion Method.

This Spiritual Refinement Method was extremely difficult to develop, and consumed Astral Energy massively. It was just enough to write down a divine imprint using a large amount of Astral Energy, and after that, using some special methods, one had to condense, compress, and purify the Astral Energy into one single grain of Divine Energy, storing it in their acupuncture points. The duration of this entire process was extremely slow, and soon after, Qin Wentian gradually fell into the Shallow Dream Country, as he condensed and purified the Astral Energy in his sleep.

In the Shallow Dream State, the rate at which one absorbed the Astral Energy of the 9 Heavenly Layers would increase by several folds. The absorption rate would increase exponentially if one entered the Forgotten or Forgotten Dream State. This could compensate for the old process of cultivating using the Spiritual Refinement Method. Naturally, he would need more Yuan Meteor Stones to supplement it. After one month of imprisonment, Qin Wentian had to think of more methods to obtain the Yuan Meteor Stone to aid him in his cultivation.

As time passed, Qin Wentian slowly began to understand the essence of the Spiritual Refinement Method, and his speed increased. Occasionally, he would remain in a sleeping state for three to four days before he woke up, cultivating in his dream state. This, of course, caused Fatty to be extremely bored, almost to the point of going insane from boredom. He wanted to end the prison quickly, so that he could get out and hang out with the beautiful students in the academy!

The period of time of one month was already nearing its end, and Qin Wentian had chosen to sleep in the pavilion. Astral Light flowed downwards, falling over his body, as he absorbed the boundless Astral Energy. Within his Stellar Meridians, there were pulsating lumps of Astral Energy gathered together, and he constantly condensed the energy into palm-shaped traces, before being compacted and refined. In the end, he let it flow through the already complete circular path of the Stellar Meridian, and stored the Divine Energy within his acupoints.

During this month of cultivation, Qin Wentian was endlessly cultivating using the Spiritual Completion Method, refining the first level, and had mastered the concept behind the Diamond Imprint. At the same time, he expanded his acupoints, allowing them to be able to store a greater amount of Astral energy. Once the expansion was at its peak limit, it would be the day where it managed to break through to the 2nd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm.

Clearly, it was much more difficult to breakthrough to the next level in the Arterial Circulation Realm, compared to the Body Refinement Realm. He needed time to consolidate and gather Astral Energy. In just one month, his storage capacity had increased by 6-7 times, compared to when he first broke through. But even so, he was still unable to connect the 2nd circular artery pathway.

From this, one could see that the gulf between each level of the Natural Artery Circulation was vast. Qin Wentian could defeat Orfon because the explosive power he had was too great. But if they fought a protracted battle, he would definitely lose, because the amount of Astral Energy that could be stored in his body was far too little in comparison.
