Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Jian Junlai stared at Seven Abstinences, “What did you think of?”

“The many evil spirits in the blood ocean, they can ignite despair, rage, fear, lust, all sorts of negative emotions in the hearts of humans. Are all these not the distracting thoughts that obstruct our states of heart from evolving further?” Seven Abstinences softly spoke, “Blood as the ocean, bones as the boat. Our negative thoughts are the things that formed the evil spirits.”

“Good conjecture.” Jian Junlai’s eyes flashed. If this was really the case, who was that white-robed young man? What sort of existence was it. His cultivation base should be unfathomable.

At this moment, more and more figures arrived at the other shore. There were heavenly deities and world overlords. Some of the world overlords had wills strong enough that they wouldn’t lose out compared to heavenly deities. Qin Dangtian appeared, Goddess Nichang whom Qin Wentian interacted with in the illusion also appeared, both of them had managed to exit the blood sea.

“What’s up ahead?” Many people glanced ahead, there seemed to be another ancient path there. There were already people walking towards it, continuing to probe ahead.

Qin Wentian didn’t immediately set foot on the ancient path. He chose to wait here. After a period of time, Jun Mengchen and Qi Yu also walked out from the blood sea and only then did Qin Wentian set his heart at ease. Jun Mengchen’s personality was free and unconstrained, but his will was extremely sturdy, he was able to subdue all negative emotions given how exuberant he was. His comprehension was also at a very high level. As for Qi Yu, after obtaining the Battle Saint Bone, his entire being has undergone a transformation. Right now, his only goal was to recover the glory of the past for his tribe.

“So dangerous.” Jun Mengchen directly complained when he exited. “The blood sea is too dangerous. I kept thinking that it was reality but everything was just illusions. I was unable to extricate myself and at the end, there was even a flawless beauty that asked me to stay with her forever.”

“Eh...” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. He then asked, “Who is that flawless beauty?”

Since that figure existed in Jun Mengchen’s imagination, it should have been based on the truth.

“I don’t think I know her.” Jun Mengchen shook his head. Qin Wentian stared at him, he also didn’t know if his junior brother was telling him the truth.

“Let’s leave.” Qin Wentian spoke. The three of them walked towards the ancient path. They have yet to come in contact with any of the Heaven Vault’s secrets.

As they advanced, they saw a corpse on the ground. This corpse has already been here for countless years but it has not rotted away yet and seemed to be in perfect condition. However, the inner organs of this body were cleanly penetrated through, this should be the cause of his death. The corpse stood straight there on the path unmovingly, radiating an imposing might. The blood in his body had long ran dry, runes could also be seen on his bones, resembling incomplete dao bones.

“This...” Qi Yu stared at the corpse as shock filled his heart.

“The corpse of a heavenly deity.” Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. “This man can’t be considered dying to the environment here in the Heaven Vault. The cause of his death seemed to be from a fight.”

The Heaven Vault was a secret realm of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and had opened quite a few times before in the past. There would naturally be experts of past eras entering here. It’s very normal for combat between those who entered to erupt.

“There’s a stone monument.” At this moment, Qi Yu spoke out. Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen glanced at the side. There was actually a stone monument with the words ‘Heaven Vault’ engraved on it.

Could this pathway be the origin of the Heaven Vault? It would lead to the true Heaven Vault?

Beside the words ‘Heaven Vault,’ another row of words could be seen, “The path of god ascension, the path of godsfall.”

Ascension and falling?

Many people stopped here, feeling their hearts shuddering when they saw the words. Those experts who reached here earlier didn’t continue to advance. Clearly, they were filled with trepidation when they saw these words.

Godsfall. This undoubtedly meant that heavenly deities (gods) also had the possibility to die here. Nobody knew what was going to be up ahead.

“This pathway has already opened, there’s no need to worry so much. Just walk through it.” At the end of the pathway, a voice drifted over. This voice seemed to contain a magical power, causing people to involuntarily believe his words.

The pathway has already opened, there’s no need to worry too much? Does this mean that the danger up ahead has already been eliminated?

“It’s him.” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. It was that mysterious white-robed senior he met before in the legendary place. He had eliminated the danger on this ancient pathway, allowing everyone else to continue advancing so they would be able to seek the secrets of Heaven Vault.

“Let’s go.” Qin Wentian spoke. He had complete trust in the white-robed young man. This was an expert that has transcended the world. Since he said that the pathway has already been opened by him, there was no need to doubt his words.

Seeing Qin Wentian’s group advancing, the other experts here weren’t willing to fall behind too. Also after the voice drifted over, many people recalled the scene earlier where the mysterious white-robed young man strode through the blood sea with absurd ease. It might be him who cleared the danger for them.

Hence, this ancient pathway leading to the true Heaven Vault that has obstructed countless people in the past, was easily ‘opened up’ by the mysterious white-robed young man. Those who passed the blood sea and reached this point were all able to proceed forward. Naturally, only extraordinary characters would be able to arrive here. Ordinary characters would be stumped by the first two trials.

However, they knew that since this ancient pathway also had the name of Godsfall, the danger here was undoubtedly multiple times higher compared to the blood sea. This pathway might be the reason why experts from the past eras failed to properly probe the Heaven Vault completely, causing Heaven Vault to still be so mysterious.

But this time, since an extraordinary expert had aided them, things might be different now.

Everyone’s heart was filled with yearning as they continued to advance. As they moved forward, they could see several corpses on the ground. These corpses haven’t rotted despite the passage of countless years and some of them even exuded a tyrannical yet incomplete dao might. It was extremely terrifying. Many of these corpses were corpses of heavenly deities.

It was unknown how long Heaven Vault has existed for. Most probably, ever since it existed, for each opening, there would be countless experts coming here to probe the secrets within. Through the years, countless generations of experts would have entered. The number of those who died within would naturally not be little.

The sky gradually turned dark, the day and night seemed to merge. The expressions of everyone on the ancient pathway grew increasingly heavier as they could faintly sense that this pathway might lead them to an extraordinary place.

Finally, daylight vanished completely. The ancient path transformed into a path of night. The starlight from above illuminated the surroundings, allowing the experts to continue forward.

“Bathump...” The heartbeats of everyone could be heard. This space was completely and incomparably silent and the atmosphere felt a little weird. No one said anything, only the sounds of their heartbeats rang out. Many people could no longer control their emotions because they discovered that the pathway was no longer in the territory of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The pathway was gradually leading them towards the starry skies.

“Heaven Vault!”

Many people involuntarily thought of these two words. Heaven Vault, the vault containing the secrets of the heavens.

There seemed to be no end to the path, it directly spanned across the sky. The stars around them grew increasingly resplendent and above them, layers of heavenly astral rivers that were boundlessly vast appeared. Each heavenly astral river contained countless constellations within them.

“The nine heavenly layers.” The hearts of everyone trembled violently. This was the first time they were so close to the nine heavenly layers, the nine flowing astral rivers felt to be within inches of them. Right now, they have completely arrived above the heavens. There was no need for them to use their perception to sense the constellations, they could see the different heavenly layers with their own eyes, as well as the countless constellations within them.

“My constellation is over there.” Someone could sense the constellations they formed a connection with, as their heart trembled.

“BOOM!” A figure soared up into the air, flying straight towards the nine heavenly layers. This person was none other than Sword Monarch Jian Junlai. His speed was like a supreme sword beam, fast to the extreme. The crowd only saw him flying towards a constellation. His figure gradually grew smaller and although the constellations appeared very close to them, the crowd understood that the distance between them and the constellations were still unimaginably far because the starry space was simply too large. After sometime, Jian Junlai could be seen approaching a constellation that was in the form of a sword.

The constellations in the nine heavenly layers were of all shapes and sizes.

“Path of god ascension.” Many people recalled the introduction on the stone monument as their hearts pounded unceasingly.

“Father.” Qin Dangtian wasn’t in a hurry to fly towards the nine heavenly layers. He took out his messaging crystal and sent a voice transmission to Qin Zheng.

“Dang`er, what’s the matter?” Qin Zheng asked.

“A mysterious expert appeared in Heaven Vault, he managed to resolve the dangers of the ancient path and should have already obtained some secrets of this place. At the end of Heaven Vault, the nine heavenly layers can be seen, we are so close to them that they feel as though they are only inches apart from us.” Qin Dangtian spoke. “Father, you should immediately send experts from the Qin Clan over. The first trial of the Heaven Vault cannot stop the experts of our clan. As for the second trial, it is a sea of blood, the blood sea can create illusions and would magnify the negative emotions in one’s heart. As long as the people entering the blood sea have a strong enough will and banish the fear in their hearts, they would be able to traverse it. As for the third trial, it is an ancient path with the name of either path of god ascension or path of godsfall. However, it has already been opened by that mysterious expert.”

Qin Zheng, despite his state of heart as a heavenly deity, couldn’t help but feel his heart trembling when he heard what his son said. After that, he replied, “I will immediately mobilize experts from our clan and head towards Heaven Vault.”

After keeping his messaging crystal, Qin Zheng was thinking about Qin Tiangang and Qin Yuanfeng. Back then when they entered Heaven Vault, how far did they manage to go?

Not only Qin Dangtian, the various heaven chosen and geniuses all informed their respective sects and clans about this. For a period of time, great waves of commotion shook the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Countless powers in the eight regions received this news and immediately sent out their experts to the Heaven Region, heading for the Heaven Vault in Boundless City. action

“A storm will soon rise up in the immortal realms.” Many people silently mused. The Heaven Vault was actually a passageway leading to the nine heavenly layers. Now that the secret was revealed, it was unknown how many experts would rush over.

Qin Wentian also took out his messaging crystal and informed his grandfather. But whether his grandfather would come or not, he had no idea.

Staring at the ancient path and staring at the constellations in the sky, Qin Wentian was thinking how far did his paternal grandfather, Qin Tiangang, walk to before he fell.

Did he die on the ancient path?

However, with regards to the corpses on the ancient pathway, he didn’t see anyone resembling him or his father’s features. If he truly saw his grandfather, given his current cultivation base today, he would surely be able to feel something.

Qin Wentian turned his head back and glanced at the ancient pathway. This path was able to lead to the nine heavens. Qin Wentian was very clear in his heart what this indicated. This meant that this ancient path was formed from the absolute dao of space, allowing those who traversed it to ignore actual distance. The essence of the dao of space was concentrated on the ancient path, resulting in it becoming a bridge to the nine heavenly layers. The proficiency one must reach in order to use the spatial laws to this extent...Qin Wentian completely had no idea how to imagine it!
