Ancient Godly Monarch - Chapter 707

Chapter 707: The Immortal Realms

 

The people in the inn were all in a fervor. Everyone felt an incomparable complexity when they stared at the silhouettes descending from the sky.

“The space tunnel to the outside worlds connected?” The crowd mused.

“Is this world the Royal Sacred Region?” In the air, the expert riding the golden jiao as a mount turned his gaze onto those in the inn. His eyes gleamed with golden light, containing an overwhelming penetrating power while the aura he exuded would involuntarily cause people to feel fear in their hearts.

“It is.” A person in the inn trembled as he replied.

That young man on the golden jiao exuded an awe-inspiring aura. His gaze swept to the experts in the inn and wherever those golden eyes of his swept pass, it was as though he could see through the cultivation bases of the crowd. An instant later, his brows were heavily furrowed as he commented in a glacial manner,”Why would His Majesty Eastern Sage choose to come to such a weak world to accept disciples? Is there some reason behind it?”

In this universe, there are a total of thirty-three heavenly worlds which was also known as the thirty-three immortal realms. In the surroundings of each immortal realm, there are countless tiny worlds that exist. These worlds are known as internal worlds and are as tiny as particles in comparison to the vast immortal realms.

And in these countless tiny worlds, there were some that were extremely powerful, and some that were extremely weak. To those that originated from the immortal realms, they termed people living in the internal worlds as country bumpkins.

The heavenly worlds, also known as the immortal realms, was surrounded by countless internal worlds, with endless country bumpkins living within them. Only after the ‘country bumpkins’ there grew stronger, up to a certain level, did they possess the qualifications to walk out of their internal world by breaking apart the restrictive bindings of each respective world. Only after that could they enter the immortal realms for cultivation, hoping to reach an even higher level.

With regards to the thirty-three heavenly immortal realms. The internal worlds around them were simply a particle. Too tiny, too inconsequential.

After the news that the Eastern Sage Great Emperor wanted to recruit a disciple from the Royal Sacred Region. Many hopeful young talents immediately searched for the coordinates of this world.

It wasn’t easy if one wanted to find a ‘particle world’ specifically. There were too many particle worlds around the immortal realms, almost to the point of being countless. You wanted to look for a needle in a haystack? It was not so easy to do so.

After searching for a long time did they finally find the Royal Sacred Region. They invited their elders to break apart the world’s restrictive bindings and stepped into the space tunnel leading to this particle world.

What sort of character was the Eastern Sage Great Emperor? He was the master of the Eastern Sage Immortal Palace, a supreme existence that could trample the heavens with a single foot. A single sentence from him was sufficient to destroy countless inner worlds, yet such a supreme existence actually planned to conduct a disciple recruitment event in this country bumpkin world? How could they not be shocked?

To a supreme existence like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, all these supposed talents were but floating clouds. There are countless talented geniuses in the immortal realms yet how many would be able to become an existence like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor at the end? Hence, talent was illusory, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor didn’t even need to care about it. If he wished to recruit disciples, it must be because he was feeling happy for some reason today, or somebody had caught his liking.

No matter how high one’s talent was, how can you catch the eye of an Immortal Emperor? But then again, if your talent wasn’t freakishly high, there would probably be no way for him to even glance at you.

Hence, these people were all here to try their luck. Hopefully, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor would take a liking to them and might accept them as his disciple. However, they knew that for the disciple recruiting event, the Great Emperor himself might not even personally appear.

“Eastern Sage Great Emperor?” Those in the inn felt their hearts trembling when they heard that name. Was this Eastern Sage Great Emperor the rumored supreme existence that was coming here to recruit disciples?

“Swish, swish..”

The sound of wind whistling through the air rang out. The person in the lead was none other than Zai Xuan. And other than Zai Xuan being present, there were also several experts of the Royal Sacred Sect who arrived.

“I am a disciple of the Royal Sacred Sect, the hegemon of this world. My name is Zai Xuan, it would be a honor if everyone would pay a visit to my Royal Sacred Sect, we would take good care of all of you as our guests.” Zai Xuan exuded elegance as he spoke to the experts from the outside worlds.

The gazes of some flickered. They just arrived at this Royal Sacred Region and weren’t familiar with this world yet. Since the controller of this particle world wanted to invite them, they might as well go with them to understand a little about the Royal Sacred Region.

“Fine.”

“I would have to trouble you then.”

Many nodded their heads slightly. However, their gazes towards Zai Xuan wasn’t the slightest bit polite at all. For experts that came from the immortal realms, they wouldn’t have the king of such a remote world in their eyes. In addition, Zai Xuan’s strength was also very ordinary, he wasn’t worthy of their attention.

“Are there beauties to enjoy?” A sinister-eyed young man stared at Zai Xuan as his face flashed with evil. The evil qi exuded from him was extremely terrifying. Just a single glance was sufficient to know that this man wasn’t any kind-hearted soul.

“Naturally.” Zai Xuan smiled.

“Haha, the beauties of a particle world should taste pretty good, right?” The evil-looking young man smiled happily as a strange light gleamed in his eyes, causing many to cast looks of disgust at him. Usually for a cultivator to reach his level, they wouldn’t be easily swayed by beauty. Their ‘lust’ would weaken, and was more easily controllable. It was clear that this person must have practiced those evil arts. This was why his lust was so overwhelming.

“This person doesn’t dare to act out his desires in the immortal realms but is actually so brazen after coming to a particle world. I’m afraid many females would suffer his evil grasp before long. Who would have thought that the hegemon of this world would cooperate with him? Truly, this hegemon seems to have no moral codes of conduct.” Some silently mused in their hearts. However since this didn’t concern them, they couldn’t be bothered with it as well. But since their daos were different, they didn’t accept the invitation of Zai Xuan and went their own way.

The expert riding on the golden jiao swept a glance at the evil-looking young man as he coldly laughed in his heart. Inner worlds like these were simply droplets of water to the ocean that’s the immortal realms. They were small and extremely remote, and were suitable to conduct some hidden business if one so desires. No wonder there were many who said that for those characters who offended the major powers in the immortal realms, they would usually choose to hide away in an inner world because there were simply too many, which resulted in it being hard to find unless one knew the specific coordinates.

“I wonder if there are unique and strange places here in this inner world.” The jiao dragon the expert was riding then let out a roar as it whistled through the air, vanishing from this place in the blink of an eye.

In the airspace above the Medicine Sovereign Valley, the Medicine Sovereign and a number of figures stood in the air. Even Uncle Black and the old man who saved Mo Qingcheng from Pill Emperor Hall were present.

“The space tunnel linking the Royal Sacred City to the outside worlds has been opened. I didn’t expect that there would be a supreme existence coming here to accept disciples. Seems like this world is going to be the focus of plenty of attention. It might even attract those super strong existences in the immortal realms.” Only to see that the old man was stating this with a frown.

“We need to leave here.” Uncle Black faintly spoke. The others all went silent when they heard his words. They turned their gazes downwards to the depths of the Medicine Sovereign Valley where Qin Wentian was as they sighed in their hearts.

“But, I truly feel reluctant to leave the young master in a place like this.” Someone sighed.

“Even if you are reluctant, you must do so. We’ve already revealed ourselves once. And the immortal will of experts on the level of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor could surround this entire world with just a sweep. Nobody can escape his eyes. Also, since the Eastern Sage is accepting disciples here, the Royal Sacred Region would definitely attract the attention of other supreme existences. We have no choice but to leave.” The calm voice of Uncle Black contained within it a trace of resolution. The others all nodded, they also understood how powerful experts at the Immortal Emperor Realm were.

An Immortal Emperor from the immortal realms would be here. They cannot attract the slightest bit of attention. They didn’t wish that them being here would affect the future of their young master.

“Ai, Medicine Sovereign, we will leave the young master in your care then.” One among them instructed the Medicine Sovereign.

“Don’t worry. After living for so many years, I have already lived long enough. Around twenty plus years ago, I should have already died. It was thanks to you all who extended my life, allowing me to shed my mortal form, ascending to immortality in a single step. Just extending my life is already a debt of gratitude that I can never repay; let alone the fact of aiding me to breakthrough to the immortal foundation realm. The life of this old me belongs to you, although I have no idea who you all are, or why you all treat Qin Wentian this way. I can promise that as long as I have a breath of life left, I won’t allow him to die.”

The Medicine Sovereign sincerely stated. He had never once inquired about Qin Wentian’s identity. That was a level so high up that it wasn’t something he could come in contact with. He just needed to repay the debt of gratitude and in addition, being able to witness the growth of a heaven-defying genius is also something that he was proud of.

“What we’ve done for him has already exceeded the boundaries which our master and madame had set. As the son of them both, he carries an extraordinary destiny. We ought to believe that he would be able to rise up step by step, depending on his own efforts to become an existence at the peak. This is the command our master and madame left for us, there’s no need for you all to remain so stubborn to stay here to ensure Wentian’s safety any longer. Let’s leave.”

The tone of Uncle Black was strict and cold, just like how he lectured Qin Wentian in the past.

“Okay, okay. We will listen to you.” The experts glanced at Uncle Black. If Uncle Black was truly as unfeeling as his tone was now, how could he have become a cripple? They had no way to forget the events of that year.

Casting a deep glance at the place where Qin Wentian was cultivating. They drew in a deep breath but had nothing more to add.

“Medicine Sovereign. Relay this message to the young master. That little doll Qing`er is a good girl. She is always in the shadows, watching out for and protecting him. That lass’s body is sealed by a very powerful technique, and her status is extraordinary. I believe the descent of the Eastern Sage this time around to this place must have something to do with her.” Uncle Black himself seemed to be ill-at-ease as he spoke to the Medicine Sovereign.

A strange expression appeared on the face of the Medicine Sovereign as he glanced at Mo Qingcheng who not far away from Qin Wentian.

“Tell him what he needs to know. As for how he chooses, leave it to himself, nobody can make the decision for him. It is so on the path of cultivation, and it is also so on the path of love.” Uncle Black left behind these words as the group of figures all soared into the air, departing from this area. The Medicine Sovereign nodded his head. He too knew of the existence of Qing`er. And this young woman was the same as his own disciple Mo Qingcheng, both were extremely sentimental women.

Uncle Black and his other followers left the Royal Sacred Region just like that. However, Qin Wentian didn’t know anything regarding this. He was still silently cultivating, trying to condense a second constellation.

However, the condensation of a constellation first required an epiphany. Without that, it was useless no matter how much time was spent. Once an epiphany arrived, condensation of a constellation could happen in a mere instant.

Qin Wentian at this moment had already gained insights on several ways to fuse his true intents. However, there wasn’t a new fusion that could surpass or stand equally with his Dreamworld Constellation. If that was the case, it was useless even if he condensed a second constellation, hence he might as well not do so!

Chapter 708: The Ignorant is Fearless

 

Uncle Black and the others silently departed. Only the Medicine Sovereign knew of this, they didn’t alert this fact to Qin Wentian.

A supreme expert like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor actually noticed this remote world, the Royal Sacred Region? Under the scrutiny of his immortal will, nothing in this world could be hidden from him.

In addition, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor came here to recruit disciples. This meant that the Royal Sacred Region is being exposed to the vision of the immortal realms. It isn’t just the Eastern Sage Great Emperor alone. Maybe he himself wouldn’t care so much about this remote world; but the others would because each and every action of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, no matter how minute, would attract countless attention. Let alone this time around, it was such a big event such as recruiting a disciple.

Hence, Uncle Black and the others could only leave.

The rumors became reality. The Royal Sacred City was all in a fervor because of the news that a supreme existence was accepting a disciple here. This supreme existence goes by the name of Eastern Sage Great Emperor, it was unknown how terrifyingly powerful he was. If the Sacred Emperor is compared to the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, he would be like how an ordinary mortal was compared to himself, the Sacred Emperor.

Nobody knew exactly how strong this supreme existence was, they only knew that he was strong, incomparably strong.

In any case, as long as one had an opportunity to become the disciple of the Great Emperor, even if they are just an ordinary mortal, their status would instantly transcend over everyone. Even the members of the Royal Sacred Sect had to bow low and be very respectful, hence how could this news not cause the Royal Sacred Region to be in a fervor? The commotion was so great that even the earlier grand battle between the Medicine Sovereign Valley and the Royal Sacred Sect was temporarily forgotten.

Now, this disciple recruitment was the greatest and most important event in the Royal Sacred Region. Only that even now, no one knew why the Eastern Sage Great Emperor suddenly wanted to accept a disciple here in this world.

But even so, the experts from the immortal realms continued to descend to the Royal Sacred Region, causing quite an uproar.

Not only that, some among these visitors were extremely arrogant and despotic, acting like they were the lord of this world. They basically didn’t even have the ‘experts’ of the Royal Sacred Sect in their eyes, calling them country bumpkins to their faces which resulted in a lot of anger. However, many didn’t dare to speak out. There was once a conflict which happened because of this derogatory term, leading to a heaven chosen from an aristocratic clan striking out. Yet, the result was that he was insta-killed along with all his followers. Those who witnessed it could only shiver in fear and didn’t dare to say anything. Even the aristocrat clan didn’t dare to take revenge. To them, people from the immortal realms are immeasurably deep, and had overwhelming combat strength. Also, nobody knew their backgrounds hence it was better not to stir up trouble for themselves.

In fact, many of these arrogant and despotic people were as cowardly as a mouse when back in the immortal realms, keeping a low profile, not daring to antagonize anyone. But here in a particle world, everything was different. They had a superior feeling and treated country bumpkins of this world like insects, controlling their fates easily and none dared to resist them.

If one was to use a word to describe why their behaviour was like this, the word is simply ‘superiority.’ They felt a sense of superiority, just like Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan, like they were a tier higher than the people in this world.

The majority of the visitors had a sense of superiority. Those that made trouble here were only a part of it. As for the others from the immortal realms, they might have a sense of superiority but they disdained to bully the ‘weaklings’ in a particle world. After all, it wouldn’t be much of a glory if they showed off their strength and abused the weaklings. It also made sense that there were truly extraordinary people among the visitors. Given that these people were here because they wanted to be taken on as a disciple by the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. How could one get the Great Emperor to take notice if they weren’t extraordinary?

Right now, in the inn where people first spotted the external visitors, there were many currently drinking there. Among them, were Zai Xuan, Lu Ziyan and a group of their followers.

Recently, Zai Xuan has been in a bad mood because of that evil-looking young man whom he invited earlier. That fellow wasn’t simply just lustful, he cultivated in an evil art which uses women as his cultivation furnace, bedding them to increase his cultivation. And as for those women whom he ‘enjoyed,’ none of them survived.

There were many beautiful female servants in the Royal Sacred Sect which were gifted to the evil young man by Zai Qiu but the evil-looking young man only wanted more and more. He didn’t simply want women, he wanted those extremely beautiful ones.

Just after a few days, the evil-looking young man even abducted beautiful members of their Royal Sacred Sect and even had intentions towards Lu Ziyan, causing Zai Xuan to feel extremely unhappy. But to his surprise, he discovered that after bedding a large quantity of women, the aura of the evil-looking young man actually strengthened and rose up to the peak of third level of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant. This couldn’t help but make him feel a hint of his heart being moved when he noticed.

If one discarded one’s morals, this cultivation technique was an extremely good one. One could enjoy the taste of women while simultaneously raising one’s cultivation. Hence, Zai Xuan didn’t chase the evil young man away, he continued allowing the evil young man to do as he pleased, in hopes of getting into his good books.

Hence, recently, the news of beautiful females disappearing one after another spread like wildfire, and this matter was only made known to all after a top female heaven chosen of a major power disappeared.

At this moment, a row of silhouettes whistled through the air. The figure in the lead was dressed in white, he was handsome and exuded an extraordinary aura. After casting a glance downwards, he descended from the air in the direction of the inn.

Zai Xuan and Lu Ziyan froze. A cold glint of light could be seen flashing within Zai Xuan’s eyes while Lu Ziyan had a look of puzzlement on her face. The experts of the Royal Sacred Sect around Zai Xuan all had ice cold expressions, as their eyes flickered with killing intent.

“Qin Wentian, he is Qin Wentian!” Someone exclaimed. The people in this inn was instantly in an uproar. When Qin Wentian arrived, many people opened up a pathway for him. Right now, in the Royal Sacred Region, there was none who didn’t know of Qin Wentian’s name.

Qin Wentian sat down at a table not far from Zai Xuan. There were also experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley around him for protection. Currently, the Sacred Emperor and Medicine Sovereign seemed to have come to a silent agreement. Neither side continued their confrontation, yet it was inevitable for the atmosphere to be tense when both sides meet each other.

Qin Wentian poured a cup of wine for himself, he came out for a walk just after he concluded his closed-door seclusion and the instant he came out, he heard about many of the things that was currently happening in the Royal Sacred Region. Naturally, the things he heard also included the news of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor accepting a disciple and also, the arrogance of the external visitors and even a guest of the Royal Sacred Sect abducting beautiful females in the Sacred Royal City with no concerns whatsoever.

He felt a fury boiling in his heart. All of them were cultivators as well; yet just because they came from the immortal realms, they could act like a tyrant and give no regards about the lives of the people here? What nonsense was this?

“I’ve heard the term ‘country bumpkin’ from your mouth before. Although you are someone from the Royal Sacred Sect, you should have been to the immortal realms to cultivate before, right?” Qin Wentian stared at Zai Xuan, his cold eyes flickering with a light that would cause fear in the hearts of others.

Right now, Zai Xuan no longer dared to underestimate Qin Wentian like how he did before. This demon-level character that had a violet-gold astral soul also had overwhelming combat strength. He couldn’t help but admit that if they were at the same level, Qin Wentian would surely defeat him.

“But so what?” Zai Xuan’s eyes gleamed with coldness. He was a little jealous of Qin Wentian. In this world controlled by his Royal Sacred Sect, this country bumpkin actually had a violet-gold astral soul and the protection of an immortal-ranked expert.

“So what if these visitors are from the immortal realms? You who was born and bred here also termed the people of our world as country bumpkins? But what does that make you, and who the hell do they think they are?” Qin Wentian drank a cup of wine as he mocked, feeling extremely unhappy his heart at the arrogance of these external visitors.

At this moment at another table, there were three people who put down their wine cups, as their gazes shot towards Qin Wentian. One among their number had eyes that gleamed with a crimson bloody light as a dangerous aura radiated out from him.

However after which, his lips twitched as he smiled.”The manner of speech of this country bumpkin truly stinks of arrogance.”

“Xon, how can people in a country bumpkin world know that they are country bumpkins? Their vision and perspective are limited and simply don’t know how vast and strong the immortal realms are. As the saying goes, the ignorant are fearless. They don’t know anything, thus it’s only normal that they are not afraid.” Another person sitting at the table laughed.

“That’s true. Having a limited perspective can also be a kind of sorrow. They have no idea that their world is ranked at the bottom. How could they know that there are some super strong experts from the immortal realms who could simply destroy countless particle worlds like this one if they are unhappy. They don’t know how tiny and inconsequential they are.” The third person nodded as they continued admiring the wine, treating Qin Wentian’s words like thin air. It was obvious that their sense of superiority was overwhelming.

“Hehe.” Zai Xuan had a smile on his face when he heard these words, he also didn’t bother to reply Qin Wentian. The words of these three people were already sufficient.

Within the inn, many people had expressions of rage on their faces. These people were truly too arrogant.

No matter what, Qin Wentian was the most outstanding genius of their world. It was unknown how high his talent is, yet he was now mocked by these people.

“Qin Wentian, it’s only natural that these people from the immortal realms would be so arrogant. However, you better endure this first. With your talent, you would sooner or later become someone they have to look up to in the future.” Many people felt indignant in their hearts yet they dared not say anything. They could only transmit their voices to Qin Wentian, hoping he would be patient as well as to vent their unhappiness.

“The ignorant are fearless? I guess so. Only weaklings would love to flaunt their sense of superiority because they knew that their existences are already at the absolute bottom and have always been suppressed by others.” Qin Wentian emotionlessly replied, causing the three of them to stiffen.

“Sir Qin’s words as usual truly stirs one’s spirit. Xian`er is impressed.” At this moment, a gentle and beautiful sounding voice drifted over only to see several figures that came up the stairs. One among them was as beautiful as a celestial maiden, instantly causing the attention of everyone to be riveted on her. Even for those visitors from the immortal realms, all of them had stunned and dazed looks on their faces.

This female was the number one beauty in the Royal Sacred Region, Lin Xian`er!

Chapter 709: Scum

 

“Xian`er.” Qin Wentian had an expression of pleasant surprise on his face as he saw Lin Xian`er approaching. She walked towards the table of Qin Wentian and smiled,”Sir Qin, do you mind if Xian`er sat here?”

“Xian`er, there’s no need to be so polite among us. Just feel free to sit here if you like to.” Qin Wentian smiled back. Back then in the Immortal Martial Realm, many people purposely targeted him and his friends. Xian`er had helped his friends with no regards to her safely and asked for nothing in return. Although she had a flawless countenance, she wasn’t a fickle and flirtatious woman. What she wanted was to find an outstanding man that could love her deeply, it was just the normal thinking of any woman.

Lin Xian`er’s eyes were like silk when she heard Qin Wentian’s reply. Her smiling eyes stared at Qin Wentian, exuding so much charm that it could mesmerize souls. She then moved and sat down beside Qin Wentian.

“Xian`er, when did you arrive here at the Royal Sacred City?” Qin Wentian helped Lin Xian`er to pour a cup of wine as he asked with a smile. This maiden was as charming as ever, her soul-stirring appearance made tender feelings bloom in one’s heart as they involuntarily wanted to take care of her.

“It’s rumored that there’s a supreme existence from the immortal realms that wishes to recruit a disciple here, which caused the entire Royal Sacred City to be in a fervor. Xian`er naturally wants to partake in the liveliness.” Lin Xian`er pursed her lips up in a charming manner as her gentle gaze landed on Qin Wentian.”After we parted that time, I didn’t expect that when I meet Sir Qin again, Sir Qin would be so exceptional. In the past Xian`er already thought that Sir Qin was an extraordinary individual, but it seems that even then, I might have underestimated you.”

Right now, Qin Wentian was simply too famous. His rise was like a legend that spread throughout the Royal Sacred Region. Is there even anyone else who dared to challenge the members of the Royal Sacred Sect just after they broke through to Celestial Phenomenon? Not only that, he even jumped levels and won against the opponents the Royal Sacred Sect sent against him.

Qin Wentian was simply a living legend, the people of the Royal Sacred Region were all witnessing his rise.

“Xian`er, don’t tease me.” Qin Wentian laughed.

“Did I?” Lin Xian`er’s beautiful eyes stared straight at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to feel embarrassed and he didn’t dare to matched her gaze. Her beautiful eyes were simply too alluring.

“That day when we first got acquainted, if I knew Sir Qin would be so outstanding, I would already have jumped on you when we were in the pavilion. At that time, you were still unwedded yet.” Lin Xian`er flashed a coquettish smile, not fearing on touching on any taboo topics at all. Qin Wentian could only bitterly smile as he was teased mercilessly by Xian`er.

“Oh ya, Sir Qin are you intending to take on concubines? If you are, you must definitely consider Xian`er okay?” Lin Xian`er smiled even more radiantly when she noted the awkward expressions on Qin Wentian’s face.

“Xian`er, I give up…” Being teased by such a beautiful maiden, it was only natural that there was no way for Qin Wentian to be angry. He would only feel awkwardness.

“Xian`er is being serious.” Lin Xian`er pouted, as the amount of charm her eyes exuded was as much as before, simply staring at Qin Wentian just like this.

Qin Wentian’s soul wasn’t stolen yet, but the other people in the inn already felt their spirits and souls being stolen away. Staring at that mesmerizing countenance, they couldn’t help but to gulp down a mouthful of saliva. They wanted nothing more than to lunge over and kiss her. At this moment, they truly hated the fact that they weren’t Qin Wentian. If they were him, they would immediately spring onto Lin Xian`er and gobble her up. How could one still remain a ‘gentleman’ when a girl so beautiful delivers herself to you? They would all turn into horny beasts straight away.

Zai Xuan, Lu Ziyan and the other external visitors were all taken aback by Lin Xian`er’s beauty. Even in the immortal realms, beauty of this standard was also extremely rarely seen.

Lu Ziyan was also a beautiful maiden, hence she felt a surge of enmity bloom in her heart when she glanced at the outstanding Lin Xian`er. Traces of unhappiness could be seen in her eyes, especially during the moments where Zai Xuan glanced at Lin Xian`er. Evidently, he was comparing herself with the number one beauty of the Royal Sacred Region.

Zai Xuan was now even more jealous of Qin Wentian. Not only was the talent of this fellow outstanding, he still won the favor of such a beautiful maiden to the extent that she was willing to give herself up to him if he wanted it.

“I didn’t think that such a beautiful woman would exist in this country bumpkin world.” Initially, Xon was still angered from Qin Wentian’s mocking tone, but all his anger melted away upon seeing Lin Xian`er. What replaced it was a sense of passion. Such a high-grade woman was simply too rare. If people like her was in the immortal realm, they would surely become the exclusive property of those super strong existences, not allowing others to taint them. Who would have thought that they would meet a woman of this grade in this particle world today?

Although they weren’t lustful and had good control, that was only in comparison to the evil-looking young man. In this particle world, they had the mindset that they could do whatever they want. Since they met such a beauty, how marvelous would it be if they could taste her?

“Brother Xon, what unexpected fortune. That maiden even seems to be very coquettish as well.” A person laughed as an expression of lust flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xian`er frowned, after which her furrowed brows smoothened. She also knew the lust she inspired in males, she had seen it too many times in their eyes and she was also very clear that if she was just an ordinary commoner, her life would be an endless nightmare. However, these people were from the immortal realms, they gave no regards about her background at all.

“Sir Qin, these people from the immortal realms truly makes one feel disappointment.” Lin Xian`er endured her anger and shook her head.

“Indeed.” Qin Wentian placed his wine cup down and emotionlessly continued,”A bunch of dirty fellows who kept thinking themselves as someone with extraordinary statuses, terming us as country bumpkins. How sad.”

“How interesting.” The three visitors from the immortal realm clenched their fists as the wine cup in their hands shattered. An instant later, whistling sounds rang out as several silhouettes appeared one after another, all of them standing behind Xon and his two companions.

Xon’s eyes gleamed with a crimson bloody glow as he played with the broken fragments of the wine cup in his hand. He stared at Lin Xian`er as he spat out,”Go get that woman for me.”

“Hold on.” At this moment, a voice drifted over from afar. After which, the crowd only saw an evil-looking young man hurrying his way over. Even from far away, his eyes were solidly fixated onto Lin Xian`er.

When he arrived at the inn, an extremely evil aura gushed forth towards Lin Xian`er. Lin Xian`er furrowed her brows as she retreated behind Qin Wentian. Yet everyone only saw the evil-looking young man taking deep breaths as an intoxicated expression appeared on his face.

“Who would have thought that such a perfect specimen would exist in this particle world, the fragrance that exudes from her is so nice to smell. If I can enjoy her fully for one night, I would even be willing if my cultivation base is damaged. After obtaining you, I’m going to enjoy you slowly numerous times before I suck your essence away. But I really can’t bear to do so.” The eyes of the evil-look young man flickered with a nefarious light. After which, he stared at Zai Xuan and stated,”Brother Zai, catch that woman for me and I will give you what you want.”

Zai Xuan froze, he then turned and replied,”You know what I want?”

“Naturally. Who wouldn’t want such a wonderful cultivation technique?” A deep grin appeared on the face of the evil-looking young man. A look of contemplation appeared on Zai Xuan’s face and indeed as expected, Lu Ziyan quickly lengthened the distance between her and Zai Xuan as her countenance grew unsightly.

“Haha, Zai Xuan, you already helped me so many times. What’s one more time?” The evil-looking young man laughed uproariously, his words causing Lin Xian`er to glare coldly at Zai Xuan as she coldly spoke,”You are someone of the Royal Sacred Sect yet you aided him to abduct the women of the Royal Sacred Region to help him cultivate?

Zai Xuan stiffened, his expression growing extremely ugly to look at. He silently cursed this man in his heart, what a bastard.

“The Royal Sacred Sect self-proclaimed themselves as the hegemon of our world. Seems like now, they don’t even treat the humans in the Royal Sacred Region as human beings but rather commodities to handle as they pleased. Initially, they threatened Grand Xia and ancient Ye and now, they even did so many immoral things. If the Royal Sacred Sect isn’t destroyed, the Royal Sacred Region shall never know peace.” Qin Wentian’s countenance was also extremely cold. He wasn’t a saint but as a part of this world, how could he not feel rage when he learned that these external visitors were doing as they desired, committing all sorts of evil and were even aided by the Royal Sacred Sect?!

Today, while in this inn, because of the coincidental meeting with Lin Xian`er, he clearly saw that these external visitors obviously didn’t put anyone in this world into their eyes, wanting to do what their heart desires. They didn’t care about logic, their nefarious wills magnified and if this was to continue on, the Royal Sacred Region would definitely be in trouble.

What made Qin Wentian infuriated the most was Zai Xuan. As someone from the Royal Sacred Sect, the leader of the Royal Sacred Region, he didn’t stand on the side of people of this world and abetted the outsiders in doing evil. This despicable behaviour simply had no bottom line.

Those in the inn all had unsightly expressions when they stared at Zai Xuan, with hatred and enmity flickering in their eyes. The cases of the missing females in the Sacred Royal City was actually done by him? This was the holy and sacred place? The Royal Sacred Sect? Hegemon of this world?

“Surround this place and kill them all but leave the female alive”. Zai Xuan issued a command. The experts under him swiftly carried out his orders. This news couldn’t be spread out. Those who knew of this had to be killed with no mercy.

Those in the inn all trembled as they felt chills in their heart. Zai Xuan was going to kill them to protect his secret.

“Beauty, I will allow you to enjoy the wonders of this world.” The evil-looking young man laughed sinisterly when he saw this scene.

The experts from the Celestial Maiden Sect all stepped out, protecting Lin Xian`er. At the same time, the experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley also appeared together with a few combat puppets, and stood around Qin Wentian.

Currently, Qin Wentian was someone that the Royal Sacred Sect wanted to kill at all cost. How could the Medicine Sovereign be careless? Since Qin Wentian dared to came out, there would naturally be experts from the Medicine Sovereign Valley together with him.

This commotion attracted the attention of spectators from afar. Many flew up into the air for a better look, including some of the external visitors from the immortal realms. The young man riding the golden jiao was here as well. His gaze was riveted on the scene below, as a cold light flashed within. The disciple recruitment event of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor caused the space tunnel to the Royal Sacred Region to be opened. Other than a few extraordinary geniuses, the majority who came here were scums, wanting to proclaim themselves kings, doing whatever they wanted when they arrived at this particle world.

He looked down on these people, but was also too lazy to be bothered with them as well. They were just a bunch of scums, and no matter if it was in particle worlds or the immortal realms, people like these were countless in number.

“Doing such despicable and scummy things, yet still acting so prestigious and high up. Even if my Royal Sacred Region is a country bumpkin world in your eyes, we will never stand for this. All of you shall die here.” Qin Wentian commanded as a number of combat puppets flew out, unleashing attacks towards their opponents!

Chapter 710: Immortals Descending from the Skies

 

“Bastard.” Zai Xuan’s expression was extremely unsightly. Qin Wentian actually brought along so many combat puppets with him.

These puppets were all at the peak of the fifth-rank and needed many Ascendants working together before they could fight against one. How could the number of experts he brought with him be sufficient?

Right now, the golden dragon puppet slashed its talons through the skies, causing an endless screen of light to envelop this entire space, separating it from the world outside.

The expressions on those external visitors faces all drastically changed. Xon roared in rage,”Country bumpkin, you dare to target us?”

“Kill him.” Qin Wentian glanced at him, the light shimmering within his eyes was extremely cold.

As the command of Qin Wentian rang out, a puppet in the form of a great roc flapped its wings as it sliced through the air towards Xon. Xon retreated with explosive speed. Although he was powerful and had fast speed, how could he compare to such tyrannical combat puppets? The space he fled to was ripped through by an immense laceration energy, as his body was directly sliced into many pieces, dying an extremely miserable death.

His protectors couldn’t react in time, they couldn’t even fend for themselves let alone save Xon.

“You dare to kill us?” A good friend of Xon paled as he frenziedly tried to flee. However, how could the curtain of light that enclosed this space break apart so easily? A jiao python directly lunged towards him, biting him to death. There was simply no mercy.

“SATISFYING!” The people in the inn called out excitedly. These external visitors were too arrogant, their deaths released the frustrations they all felt.

The Royal Sacred Sect abetted this evil, personally helping the evil-looking young man to abduct the beauties of the Royal Sacred Region. It was simply too despicable. Since Qin Wentian was willing to take the lead and stand up for the people of this world. They were naturally happy in their hearts.

“RUMBLE!”

A thunderous boom sounded, the experts of the Royal Sacred Sect finally broke through the enclosed space and quickly brought Zai Xuan together with them as they fled with great haste. Some of the combat puppets immediately went to stop them.

The evil-looking young man also wanted to escape but he simply didn’t have the time to do so facing the onslaught of attacks from the puppets.

“Do you still think you can live?” Qin Wentian’s voice rang out. The terrified gaze of the evil-looking young man turned over as a resplendent constellation manifested in the air. After this, he only felt that he was placed in another dimension. This was naturally none other than Qin Wentian’s Dreamworld Constellation, he had pulled the evil-looking young man into a dreamscape.

Dreamworld Constellation was a kind of domain-type constellation.

The expression of the evil-looking young man changed. He stared at his surroundings before he turned a pleading look towards Qin Wentian.”My cultivation art is extremely marvelous, you can enjoy the pleasures of the world to raise your cultivation base. Do you want to cultivate it?”

Qin Wentian lifted his palms and directly blasted out a gigantic palm imprint in response. The evil young man paled. He stabbed out with his finger into the air, aiming for the gigantic palm imprint. In an instant, the palm imprint turned a blood color before it shattered apart.

“My cultivation art can allow any beautiful woman to become your slave. An example is the celestial maiden behind you. As long as you use my technique on her, she would turn into a wanton sex slave, satisfying your every request. Are you truly not moved by it?” The evil young man urged, while also releasing his own constellation at the same time. Filaments of light containing an evil energy cascaded downwards, exuding a strange and peculiar aura as they formed a ball of light and shot towards Qin Wentian.

“Vile creature. Die!” Qin Wentian coldly spoke. This time around, without Zai Xuan’s protection, the evil young man didn’t have anyone to rely on. His countenance turned incomparably ugly as he icily shot back,”I’m a disciple of the Evil Desire Sect from the immortal realms. If you kill me, my sect will definitely hunt you down and turn all your women into slaves. You best think through it clearly.”

“Are you trying to frighten me? If your sect would really do such a thing for you, why is there not even a single protector with you when you came here? You must be someone at the absolute bottom in the immortal realms, suppressed by others and came here to flaunt your superiority.” Qin Wentian’s voice was as cold as ever. As the sound of his voice faded away, the talons of the golden dragon smashed downwards. The evil young man had a look of stark terror painted on his face but even before he had the time to scream, his head was already crushed into pieces.

“He is so decisive.” The people in the inn stared at Qin Wentian who directly gave the order to kill, not even leaving a single one alive. As expected of the most outstanding geniuses of their Royal Sacred Region. Even if these people were external visitors, he gave no damn to the consequences and killed them directly.

Lin Xian`er stood beside Qin Wentian with a smile on her face. Her judgement was off in the past, she actually believed that the era-suppressing geniuses were more outstanding than Qin Wentian. But now from the looks of it, those eight weren’t even qualified to be mentioned in the same breath as Qin Wentian. This man was a symbol of an era. And in this era, nobody in the same generation could be comparable to him. He was the legend of the Royal Sacred Region.

Qin Wentian lifted his head and stared at Zai Xuan who was in the air. Zai Xuan was the Sacred Prince of the Royal Sacred Sect. There was no need to say anything about the bodyguards in charge of protecting him, they were all extremely powerful experts and the combat puppets temporarily had no way to suppress them.

Naturally, the guards were assigned to him after that clash between the Royal Sacred Sect and the Medicine Sovereign Valley. If it was before, just with his status alone, who would even dare to touch him in the Royal Sacred Region?

“Zai Xuan, you pose as someone from the immortal realms, flaunting your imaginary superiority and referring to us as country bumpkins. You, who is at the third level of Celestial Phenomenon, do you dare to have a fight with me?” Qin Wentian stared at Zai Xuan as he spoke. Zai Xuan’s eyes were like frost. Sharp gleams of light shot out, so sharp as though it could lacerate Qin Wentian into pieces.

“You are only at the first level of Celestial Phenomenon, I don’t want to bully you.” Zai Xuan coldly replied.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with mocking when he heard these words. He then replied,”How sad are you? You even have the face to call me a country bumpkin but you don’t dare to fight against me?”

After speaking, Qin Wentian’s glance swept through the air as he spoke.”Everyone from the immortal realms, the people of my Royal Sacred Region might be from a particle world but we are all still cultivators pursuing the martial path. Why must there be hierarchy between us? I, Qin, hope that you all will not continue killing recklessly in our world. I, Qin, shall offer thanks in advance first.”

“Your words aren’t wrong. All of us are cultivators that seek the martial path. So, you should also understand that no matter in the immortal realms or the Royal Sacred Region, there would be scum who love to bully the weak. These people cannot represent all of us who came from the immortal realms.” Only to see an expert with an extraordinary aura standing in the air speaking. Qin Wentian nodded his head,”What you say is right. I hope that the visitors from the immortal realms would have the bearing as one who came from there and not a bunch of scums and bastards.”

“Mhm.” The person in the air nodded lightly. At this moment, his eyes looked up as a brilliant light flashed within.

“Huh?” Qin Wentian watched the dome of the heavens, as his countenance turned solemn. His heart pounded rapidly when he saw that an endless multicolored light flooded the sky as a whirlpool of destruction appeared. This instant seemed as though doomsday has arrived, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble violently.

“What is that?” The crowd respectively turned their gazes upwards as they furrowed their brows. The whirlpool of destruction was now so vast that it completely covered the sun.

Right now, even the sky disappeared. The whirlpool of destruction had grown so vast that it replaced the sky.

And it was not only in a single spot. A number of places in the air also manifested whirlpools, it was truly a scene of apocalypse.

“The supreme existence?” A thought appeared in the minds of Qin Wentian and the others. Only supreme existences would have the power to cause such a sight, right? Has the legendary Eastern Sage Great Emperor finally arrived?

“Is this the Eastern Sage Great Emperor? He even has the power to replace the sky.” Someone murmured, as his body shook in terror.

“Replacing the sky?” A person in the air lowered his head and spoke,”What sort of character is the Eastern Sage Great Emperor? This particle world? He would just need a slap to shatter it. This isn’t anything to him, as inconsequential as a grain of sand.

As the sound of his voice faded, the hearts of the people palpitated as an intense desire rose within. Stellar Martial Cultivators at the very end of their paths, would they possess such world-shaking power?

A world to them was actually just a grain of sand? Able to shatter it effortlessly with a single smack?

“If we can become the disciple of the Eastern Sage Majesty, we would be able to interact more with experts on that terrifying level.” Many mused in their hearts. Now it seems like the rumor was becoming reality. The Eastern Sage Great Emperor truly wanted to accept a disciple here in the Royal Sacred Region.

Not only were the people of the Sacred Royal City taken aback, at this very moment…the entire Royal Sacred Region including Grand Shang, Grand Xia and even the Chu Country were all stunned beyond their words. The countless people were all staring at the same sight when they stared into the air. Floods of whirlpools occupied every inch of space in the sky.

For people who knew about the rumor regarding the Eastern Sage Great Emperor accepting a disciple, they still understood what was happening. But for the common populace that had no idea, they were all panicking and their minds were in utter chaos. They stared dumbfoundedly with their hearts trembling, watching on like what seemed to be the end of the world.

The destructive whirlpools in the sky gradually transformed into an incomparable graceful view that shimmered in and out of existence. As time passed, an incredibly vast and majestic immortal palace appeared in the sky.

“Is this a place where immortals reside?” The entire population in this world stared at the scene in the air as the fear in their hearts reached an extreme. Even in their dreams, they wouldn’t dare to imagine that such a scene would appear. It was simply too shocking.

The blurry silhouette of the palace grew clearer and clearer and to everyone’s shock, they could see that in a certain elegant courtyard, tables of delicacies were already prepared. And at the lead position, there was a statue which seemed ordinary, already sitting there. Although it seemed ordinary, it clearly exuded a mysterious and extraordinary aura. It even seemed to be imbued with spirituality and was currently sleeping but could wake up at any moment.

“Is that the statue of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor himself?” The hearts of those from the Royal Sacred Region shook. The Great Emperor actually already prepared a banquet? Was the people he was going to invite also other powerful existences in the immortal realms?

At this very moment, in the immortal palace. A row of blurry silhouettes appeared in the skies. They were akin to small black dots which gradually grew larger and larger as they descended. At the end, they vanished from the vision of everyone else, save those at the Sacred Royal City.

The man in the center was extremely young looking. His hands were clasped behind his back as his countenance was akin to sharp swords. Sweeping his eyes across this world, a hint of slight disdain could be seen.

“Who are these people?” Many in the Royal Sacred City felt their hearts shaking when they saw this scene. Were these all immortals?!

Chapter 711: Innate Supremacy

 

The row of silhouettes also gradually vanished from the vision of those in the Sacred Royal City.

When they were in the air, there were many who could see them. But as they descended, the number of people who could see them also got increasingly fewer.

Qin Wentian also couldn’t see them any longer. He only knew that these people descended somewhere within the Royal Sacred City. As to for their exact location, he had no idea.

“Who are those people? Are they the bodyguards of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor?” Lin Xian`er who was beside Qin Wentian, mumbled under her breath.

“No idea. Seems like the level we can come into contact with is simply too low. A supreme existence in the immortal realm, as we are now, it isn’t something that we can imagine.” Qin Wentian felt his heart trembling slightly in shock. The rush of impact that scene had given him was exceedingly great.

Lin Xian`er smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes gazed at Qin Wentian,”Maybe one day, you too would be able to reach that level. And when you return from there to the Royal Sacred Region, you would also be able to replace the sky, radiating that kind of apocalyptic might.”

“I’m afraid that it would still be very long for me.” Qin Wentian softly commented. To become such a supreme existence wasn’t something that is achievable in a short period of time.

“Mhm, but at the very least, you have an opportunity to become a disciple of the supreme existence now.” Lin Xian`er smiled again. If only those in the Royal Sacred Region could participate in the disciple selection event, Qin Wentian’s chance was truly very high. In this era, Lin Xian`er believed that there wouldn’t be anyone else who was more dazzling than Qin Wentian. Unless, those from the immortal realms could participate too.

“This indeed is an opportunity.” Qin Wentian nodded. Such a supreme existence, if he really was keen to accept disciples, Qin Wentian was naturally willing to put in his best effort, hoping to be looked upon in favor by the supreme existence. There’s no doubt that the improvement in one’s martial path had to depend on oneself. But it didn’t mean that even after becoming the disciple of a supreme existence he would be sheltered and spoonfed. He could still rely on his own strength to roam the world to upgrade himself. With a supreme existence as a master that occasionally provides guidance to him on his martial path, wouldn’t this be a very marvelous thing?

From Qin Wentian’s perspective, no matter if one was an orphan or born in a powerful sect, the improvement on one’s martial path ultimately cannot be dependent upon others. Under the protection of experts, there was simply no way to truly temper yourself. Without real danger, how could one train their minds and wills to be resolute? How could one’s combat prowess be sharpened? These types of people might even be killed by others because they were too weak themselves. Even if he were to become a disciple of a supreme power, he also wouldn’t depend on the sect’s protection and forget about tempering himself on his own.

At this moment, in a certain location of the Royal Sacred City, those figures which descended from the skies earlier were all there and the place they were in wasn’t that far from Qin Wentian.

Over there, there were already two silhouettes waiting. One was an old man while the other was a cold looking maiden that was as pure as a snow lotus. Her gaze was like frost as she stared at the group of people who just arrived.

“My name is Dongsheng Ting, is Princess Qing`er doing well?” This young man was none other than the one who stood in the center in the group of silhouettes which descended from the skies. Right now, he was staring at Qing`er as he asked in a gentle tone that was filled with magnetism. But if one attentively listened to the tone of his voice, they could still hear a sense of aloofness and pride within. This wasn’t something that he intentionally wanted to exude but rather, it was simply a habit because of who he was. No matter who he was talking to, the sense of pride in him would always be there.

Qing`er’s eyes remained as cold as ever and she didn’t reply. She glanced at the old man beside her and the old man immediately smiled and stated,”Princess, Dongsheng Ting is the youngest son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. His talent is outstanding and he is also famed throughout the immortal realms of a region. In fact, he broke through to the immortal foundation realm even before the age of a hundred.”

“It only took me eighty-seven years.” Dongsheng Ting stated.

“Such a degree of talent, even in the immortal realms it’s also extremely rarely seen.” The old man laughed.

“Oh.” Qing`er commented, just as cold as before as though she hadn’t heard the conversation between them. Her countenance was just as serene as before, with no hints of any fluctuations.

Dongsheng Ting’s attention had been on Qing`er the moment his eyes landed on her. Staring at her serene expression, he couldn’t help but to sigh in his heart. Seems like the youngest daughter of the Evergreen Great Emperor was just like the rumors described.

The Evergreen Emperor turned the tables around in a disadvantageous situation and acquired the authority over an immortal empire in the immortal realms. He was one of the most recent Immortal Emperors whose name shook the realms.

There were rumors which said that during the time when he was contending for the position of Emperor, he sent his youngest daughter away to a remote particle world. It was simply too difficult to look for someone among the countless particle worlds. So, even if he was defeated, he could rest assured that his youngest daughter Qing`er could still live on peacefully and wouldn’t be implicated.

And during the war in which the Evergreen Great Emperor fought for control of the immortal empire, he even lost two of his sons. One could see how cruel the war was. The heirs of the Evergreen Emperor were all outstanding talents, but even they couldn’t escape death in the war between two supreme existences.

As to why the Evergreen Great Emperor only sent his youngest daughter away was because his youngest daughter was simply too young, and hadn’t even cultivated yet. Obviously she couldn’t stay by his side or she might even be implicated. However, this was only the conjecture of people because none of the Evergreen Emperor’s wives and concubines were sent away. Among them, there were also those who had no combat strength. Princess Qing`er was the only exception.

Hence, there was yet another rumor that circulated around the immortal realms. The youngest daughter of the Evergreen Great Emperor had an immortal king physique that was innately gifted, blessed with supremacy since birth.

This rumor instantly caused a large commotion, especially the fact when after the Evergreen Immortal Emperor ascended, he immediately made preparations to fetch Princess Qing`er back. This naturally caused the attention of many to land on the mysterious Princess Qing`er.

The Eastern Sage Great Emperor could be considered a good friend of the Evergreen Great Emperor. Hence, Dongsheng Ting was clearer than most regarding the matters of Qing`er. And at this moment, when he finally saw her temperament, he couldn’t help to sigh that the rumors might be very close to the truth.

“Qing`er, my royal father asked me here to fetch you back. The Evergreen Great Emperor misses you a lot but since he knew that you still have an unfulfilled wish, my royal father agreed to the request and would do his best for the Evergreen Great Emperor. As long as there’s someone whom the Princess favors, my royal father will accept him as a disciple and guide him with great care. Even if he’s unsuitable, my royal father also agreed that he would arrange an expert to accept the person you choose as a disciple. It would not infringe on my royal father’s honor.”

Dongsheng Ting spoke to Qing`er. And upon hearing his words, the old man beside Qing`er turned and explained,”Princess, his Majesty Eastern Sage is an Immortal Emperor of the immortal realms and he usually wouldn’t casually accept any disciples. Every of his disciples shook the immortal realms with their names and are all extremely outstanding characters with extraordinary talent. If his Majesty accepted a disciple who cannot meet the mark, that would infringe on his Majesty’s honor.”

“Hence, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor has really done his utmost for the favor your royal father asked of him. Everything would have to depend on Qin Wentian himself. If he cannot meet the mark, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor would still arrange for an expert under him to accept him as disciple, opening the path to bring him to the immortal realms. Princess has no need to worry so much.”

For supreme existences like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, who was an Immortal Emperor of a particular region, their disciples were naturally people who attracted vast attention. What the old man said wasn’t a lie. If such a character like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor had a useless and inferior disciple, it would definitely affect the prestige of the disciple’s master. For some supreme existences, they would be extremely concerned about this. In addition, there was no way they would want to waste time to nurture a useless trash.

“Okay.” Qing`er nodded her head, her reply was only one word which caused a bitter smile to appear on the old man’s face. Even when the young man in front of them was the son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, Princess Qing`er also couldn’t be bothered to say much more. This indeed caused one to be slightly speechless.

“The Princess is always like this.” The old man explained to Dongsheng Ting.

“No worries, Princess Qing`er must have definitely suffered a lot in this realm. It’s only natural that she doesn’t likes to speak much. Junior has long heard of senior’s great name, and today would really be a great opportunity for me if I can seek senior’s discourse on the Dao.” Dongsheng Ting bowed slightly, exuding an elegant aura.

“You are too polite. With the personal guidance of his Majesty, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, when can it ever be my turn to guide Prince Dongsheng.” The old man calmly replied in a manner that was neither servile nor overbearing. Although the person in front of him was the son of a good friend of the Evergreen Great Emperor, he himself was a great general under Qing`er’s father. He naturally couldn’t shame his Emperor by being too servile. As to Princess Qing`er, it was because he had no choice as she was the youngest daughter of his Emperor. But with regards to Dongsheng Ting, it was already sufficient to show some basic respect, there was no need to over do it.

“Princess, it’s time for us to leave.” The old man turned and spoke to Qing`er.

Qing`er’s beautiful eyes flashed with a trace of reluctance before she spoke in a low voice,”Before I leave…I wish to see him one last time to say goodbye.”

“Mhm. Naturally.” The old man upon seeing that Qing`er has finally agreed to him, heaved a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go.” Their group of people then stepped out and soared into the sky.

Qin Wentian continued standing on top of the inn. However at this moment, he felt an intense spatial energy fluctuation as a group of figures directly appeared above him. When Qin Wentian noticed a particular figure among them, he couldn’t help but to start as his heart welled up with emotions.

Qin Wentian stared at the group of people who descended from the skies. They came from the immortal palace and Qing`er, was standing together with them.

“The Medicine Sovereign’s speculations are correct.” Qin Wentian felt a knot of complexity in his heart. That beautiful silhouette was akin to a snow lotus, so it turned out that she had never left his side. Not only that, she even managed to invite a Great Emperor of the immortal realms to come here to accept disciples. Was it just to give him an opportunity?

The others who are present were all flared up with excitement. These people were those who descended from the immortal palace earlier, the subordinates of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor.

As for Lin Xian`er, she was similarly stunned as well. She stared at those people before staring at Qing`er, while feeling an intense wave rocking her heart.

“That maiden who likes to follow Qin Wentian around, what is her true identity?” Lin Xian`er couldn’t help but to muse silently.

Qing`er slowly stepped out, taking the initiative to walk to Qin Wentian’s side. Her cool gaze stared at Qin Wentian before she slowly lowered her head, and whispered,”I have to leave now, I can’t be by your side any longer…”

Upon hearing that melodious voice, Qin Wentian actually was at a loss of how to reply. He could only ask in dumb manner,”Is it possible for you not to leave?”

Qing`er inclined her head, her beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian as she shook her head, her mannerism also exhibiting an intense reluctance.

“In the future, you have to live well…” Qing`er continued, her voice was still as melodious and serene. But right now, Qin Wentian actually felt an impulse to choke with emotions. He could feel his tears about to flow, this maiden who treat words like gold, why did she still come here and told him to live well before she left?

“Mhm, you too. You have to live well.” Qin Wentian forcefully put on a smile as he stared at Qing`er…

Translator Note:

东圣廷- Dongsheng Ting (Dongsheng can be translated to Eastern Sage)

Chapter 712: The Most Beautiful Tears

 

The people in the surroundings all stared at Qing`er and Qin Wentian. Their relationship was evidently close, yet there seemed to be a sense of distance. After all, most of the crowd knew that Qin Wentian’s wife was the Holy Maiden of the Medicine Sovereign Valley, Mo Qingcheng.

But what made all of them taken aback by shock was that it appeared that this maiden seemed to be acquainted with those who descended from the immortal palace. What was her identity exactly?

There were also experts from the Royal Sacred Sect who recognised Qing`er. This was none other than the maiden who threatened them in their Royal Sacred Sect before. And when they saw her cool-looking gaze, they couldn’t help but to recall the words she said as their hearts trembled at the memory.

Was that truly words of arrogance?

This mysterious maiden, if she really wanted to raze the Royal Sacred Sect to the ground, would she not be able to accomplish it?

Upon thinking of here, their hearts went cold as the gaze they directed at Qin Wentian became filled with complexity. This young man that exuded unmatched magnificence throughout his generations, what charms does he have exactly? Why were the women beside him so outstanding?

Mo Qingcheng of the Medicine Sovereign Valley, Lin Xian`er of the Celestial Maiden Sect and at this moment, they realised that this mysterious Qing`er might very well be someone from the immortal realms.

“Princess Qing`er, it’s time for us to leave.” At this moment, Dongsheng Ting’s voice drifted over. Qing`er didn’t turn back. Her beautiful eyes were still looking at Qin Wentian. After which she mumbled,”I will…”

And at the instant when Qing`er spoke, a gust of wind breezed by. Beside Qin Wentian, yet another stunning silhouette appeared, causing many in the crowd to stare in dumbfounded amazement.

With the three maidens currently standing beside Qin Wentian, not one of them could shift their eyes away. The eyes which they stared at Qin Wentian with, it was already unknown whether the emotions flickering within were envy or jealousy.

Even for a character like Dongsheng Ting, he was also stunned by the beauty of the three maidens. His heart stirred slightly as he deeply glanced at Qin Wentian.

As for Zai Xuan, he was already completely numb with shock.

Qing`er’s aura resembled a snow lotus, possessing a transcendent beauty that was out of this world. Mo Qingcheng seemed to shine with a holy light, appearing so saint-like that she seemed to be the incarnation of innocence. The soul-stirring fragile beauty of Lin Xian`er, caused the hearts of males around her to bloom with the desire to protect her.

Everything under the skies dimmed as these three women stood together, and all three of them stood beside Qin Wentian.

Lu Ziyan who was watching on the fence had already completely froze. Initially, her attitude when she came to this world was all high up and mighty. But at this moment, her pride was totally shattered. It wasn’t because of a difference in strength but rather, it was in terms of looks. Her pride had been completely smashed apart, if she stood beside any of the three maidens, not a single male present would even glance at her.

She would simply be like the thin air, and could only be used as a contrast to the beauty of these maidens.

When Mo Qingcheng appeared, Qing`er cast a glance at her. It was impossible to tell the emotions from her cool-looking gaze.

Yet, Qin Wentian smiled at Mo Qingcheng and said,”You’ve come.”

“Mhm.” Mo Qingcheng held onto Qin Wentian’s hand. That warm and gentle dainty hand of hers giving him strength. But from the perspectives of others, it appears that Mo Qingcheng was trying to flaunt her ownership, saying that she was the wife of Qin Wentian.

“I’m leaving.” Qing`er’s melodious voice mumbled, bidding farewell to Qin Wentian.

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded, exerting his strength slightly as he held on to Mo Qingcheng’s hand.

After which, Qing`er turned and slowly rose up into the air. Her speed was extremely slow, it was evident that she was feeling an extreme reluctance.

The old man and Dongsheng Ting and the others were on the left and right of Qing`er. This ephemeral maiden who was referred to as ‘Princess,’ might be an actual princess from the immortal realms.

Qin Wentian’s eyes were fixated on the departing back of Qing`er. He drew in a deep breath as his heart trembled violently, feeling as though he had just lost something.

And at this very moment, a soft voice could be heard in the air.

“Qing`er truly treats you very well.”

That was Mo Qingcheng’s voice, it was very soft, and spoken in a extremely gentle manner.

“During the times when you faced the greatest danger, she was always the one who appeared by your side. She’s like your knight in shining armor, silently protecting you from the shadows. Even you yourself had no idea how much exactly she has done for you.” Mo Qingcheng slowly continued, her voice was just as before, extremely soft but Qin Wentian could hear it clearly. His body involuntarily shook as he turned his gaze onto Mo Qingcheng’s flawless countenance.

Even Lin Xian`er was deeply shaken. She stared incredulously at Mo Qingcheng, as though she didn’t dare to believe that Mo Qingcheng would actually say such words at such a moment.

Qin Wentian too, he never would have expected.

At this moment, Mo Qingcheng was also gazing at Qin Wentian. A gentle smile painted her face as she spoke,”Master has told me some things in private. Wentian, the things Qing`er has done for you are things which I could never have done. In the past, without me by your side, Qing`er was the one who had always been taking care of you. She would always appear during the times when you needed help most.”

The sunlight fell upon Mo Qingcheng’s flawless face. Her smile was so beautiful, so radiant.

“So, I don’t want this to be something which would become your regret. Similarly, I also don’t want Qing`er to leave here with regrets in her heart. What are you doing? Quickly go chase after her! At the very least, tell her to wait for you…”

In Lin Xian`er’s eyes, Mo Qingcheng’s smile seemed a little silly. But that radiant smile, that gentle voice, actually caused Qin Wentian’s eyes to redden with emotion. He trembled as he held out his hands, holding on to Mo Qingcheng’s face tenderly only to see tears also flowing down from her eyes. Yet even so, she was still smiling at him.

“Why are you so silly…” Qin Wentian gently wiped away the tears on Mo Qingcheng’s face.

“At the very least, my love for you wouldn’t be so selfish. I can also do what Qing`er did, I have no regrets.” Mo Qingcheng was still smiling amidst her tears.”I don’t want you to have a stone in your heart, I don’t want you to regret this in the future. And…I don’t want my love for you to become a shackle which binds you. Please forgive me if I get jealous, as a woman this is inevitable. But I would rather I myself be jealous than to see you being heartbroken.”

“Quickly go and chase after her. Qing`er is a wonderful woman, she did so much for you, you shouldn’t let her leave just like this.” Mo Qingcheng tightly squeezed Qin Wentian’s hand before letting him go. Despite her tears, the smile in her eyes made those sparkling drops so beautiful. This scene imprinted itself into Qin Wentian’s mind, forever etched within.

Qin Wentian abruptly stepped forward, tightly hugging Mo Qingcheng. After a moment, he let go and rushed up to the skies, chasing after Qing`er.

Mo Qingcheng was still smiling as she watched the silhouette of Qin Wentian whistling through the skies. Her hand wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and those teardrops seemed to be the most beautiful and the most selfless thing in the world at this moment.

“Qing`er!” Qin Wentian called out. That flawless silhouette that was slowly soaring up the skies paused, she halted her steps and turned, only to see Qin Wentian rushing over in her direction.

Very quickly, Qin Wentian appeared once more in front of Qing`er.

Qing`er stared at Qin Wentian as her lips trembled, yet she didn’t know what to say.

“Qing`er, can I hug you?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with a smile akin to the sunshine, as though he wanted to melt away the snow from the snow lotus.

Qing`er’s body shook, her beautiful eyes involuntarily blinked as a look of shyness faintly showed on her face. But after which, she nodded her head lightly as her hands pulled nervously at the fabric of her dress,”Okay…”

Qin Wentian smiled. He walked up and stretched both his arms, directly bringing Qing`er’s soft body into his embrace. He used a lot of strength in this hug, Qing`er’s delicate frame shivered lightly but she soon regained her earlier calm. She didn’t know what to do with both her hands but eventually, she placed them on Qin Wentian’s shoulders, resting them there. At this moment, she only felt sunshine in her heart.

It was as though Qin Wentian used his hug to melt Qing`er away. Only after a very long moment did Qin Wentian relinquish his hold, but his hands were still placed on the willowy waist of Qing`er. The two of them gazed into the eyes of the other and the distance between them was so close. Right now on the face of the beautiful maiden akin to a snow lotus, a faint blush could be seen. And for some reason, it made her even more alluring than before.

Abruptly, Qin Wentian moved his head forward. His lips directly pressed onto Qing`er’s soft lips, as he embraced her once again.

Qing`er felt a thunderbolt going off in her mind, she stood there dumbfoundedly, allowing Qin Wentian to kiss her as he will. Her long lashes were so beautiful, and at that moment when she closed her eyes, glimmers of tears could also be seen within.

The countenance of the old man and Dongsheng Ting who were behind her drastically changed. Helplessness could be seen in the eyes of the old man, yet a glint of coldness actually flashed through Dongsheng Ting’s eyes. However, he couldn’t stop this, he didn’t have any right to stop this.

“I’m leaving now.” In the throes of their emotion, Qing`er actually pushed Qin Wentian away. After which, she turned and continued her way, as though she didn’t want to let Qin Wentian see her reluctance, and to see the tears flowing from her face. She was worried that if she still remained here for one more moment, she would decide never to leave this world.

“Qing`er, wait for me there.” Qin Wentian’s voice drifted from behind. However, Qing`er’s steps didn’t slow and she even quickened her pace.

“I will definitely head to the immortal realms to look for you. Even if I have to break through the realms one by one, even if I have to trample upon the nine heavenly layers. I will definitely find you. These clouds are unable to block my vision of you; this piece of sky won’t be able to obstruct the path to me finding you!” The stone in Qin Wentain’s heart seemed to transform into a raging waterfall that gushed out torrents of water at this instant. He held nothing back.

Qing`er inclined her head, staring at the clouds and staring at this piece of sky. Tears already long stained her face before this!

Chapter 713: Princess Evergreen

 

Qin Wentian didn’t continue chasing. The old man beside Qing`er deeply cast a glance at Qin Wentian before heading over to Qing`er’s side.

The young are brave to the point of recklessness, they had no idea how high the heavens are. It was easy for Qin Wentian to leave such words of arrogance but how could the path he had chosen be so easy to walk?

Below the immortals, everything are mortals. And as for those already at the immortal realm, each step upwards was as difficult as ascending the heavens.

Princess Qing`er had an incomparable physique, blessed with innate supremacy. If Qin Wentian wished to marry Princess Qing`er, the difficulty of this wasn’t something normal. If he couldn’t mature to a certain level, even if the both of them were deeply in love, they were fated never to be together.

Reality was harsh, it was the destroyer of many beautiful stories and fairy tales.

The old man was also infected by Qing`er’s depth of emotions. He couldn’t help but sigh in his heart at how naive Qing`er was.

If the Princess had experienced the war which the Evergreen Great Emperor fought and had grown up in the immortal realms instead of this particle world, she wouldn’t have been so naive.

The expression on Dongsheng Ting’s face was extremely ugly to behold. He came here to escort Qing`er away. And his lofty eyes contained a faint coldness when he saw how close Qin Wentian was to Qing`er.

When he first met Qing`er, although it couldn’t be said that he liked her, it was only natural that he would have been faintly attracted to the legendary youngest daughter of the Evergreen Great Emperor who had a flawless countenance and was said to possess an immortal king physique.

When Dongsheng Ting spoke to Qing`er, Qing`er didn’t reply but Dongsheng Ting believed that this was her personality hence he wasn’t angry. In fact, he thought that it was very normal for the daughter of the Evergreen Great Emperor to have such a character.

But was that truly Qing`er’s real personality?

Earlier, she allowed a man from this country bumpkin world to hug her and even kissed her?! She didn’t even resist as tears of emotions flowed down her face.

Although this had nothing to do with Dongsheng Ting. After all, there was no relationship between them, save for the fact that their royal fathers were friends, he still felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Extremely uncomfortable.

He would only appear in the Royal Sacred Region, a particle world, because of the imperial order of his royal father. At the start, he was in fact extremely unwilling until his father explained to him Qing`er’s status and her rumored physique. Because, he simply couldn’t be bothered to waste time. His royal father told him to come here and personally escort Qing`er. How could Dongsheng Ting not understand the intentions within? But now that he seen such a scene, one can very well imagine what Dongsheng Ting was currently feeling.

With regards to Qin Wentian, naturally he wouldn’t care about Dongsheng Ting’s feelings. He didn’t even know what status Dongsheng Ting had.

Staring at that gradually disappearing back view, he felt a sense of disappointment and frustration. He didn’t even know that the feelings he had for Qing`er had already reached such a deep level unconsciously. Over ten years, the accumulation bit by bit had already formed into a mountain torrent that all gushed out with no reserves earlier.

Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with stubbornness, determination and an incomparable conviction. He would soon leave the Royal Sacred Region and venture into the immortal realms. It wouldn’t be too far away.

Mo Qingcheng stood below and watched with a sweet smile. It was as though a burden in her heart had been released as well. At this moment, she actually felt a sense of relaxation as though all her worries had been discarded.

As a woman, her senses and intuition were of course very sharp. How could she not have felt the emotions between Qin Wentian and Qing`er? Although because of his love for her, Qin Wentian had never once allowed himself to show any signs or revealed his feelings for Qing`er. But Mo Qingcheng had constantly been asking herself what she should do.

Qin Wentian was a sentimental man, he also had an intense sense of responsibility. He wasn’t willing to let Mo Qingcheng down because he did truly love her. And if Mo Qingcheng rejected Qing`er, Qin Wentian would definitely bury the feelings he had for Qing`er deep down underneath, and would never be together with Qing`er.

However, Mo Qingcheng knew that if Qin Wentian did this, he would always have a regret in his heart. She was afraid that she would hurt Qin Wentian, and she was also afraid that she would have to face that version of herself. Hence, she made a decision today, which explained why the burden in her heart was finally unloaded, allowing her to feel a sense of relaxment. Naturally, there would also be the sour emotion that was jealousy. This was the innate nature of women, she had no way to control that.

Everything seemed to have concluded. Abruptly, the expressions on everyone froze. Those beside Qin Wentian suddenly discovered that all the attention in this area was attracted onto Qin Wentian himself. The rush of impact of that scene of lovers parting was so great that it even overshadowed the arrival of Dongsheng Ting and the others.

At this moment, the people all inclined their heads again, staring in the air. And all of a sudden, a row of silhouettes could be seen in the immortal palace in the skies. They were naturally none other than those who came down to escort Qing`er. Initially when they were flying upwards, because the distance were too far, not everyone could clearly see their features. But when they appeared in the immortal palace, the scene became clearer. It was as though the immortal palace had a mysterious power to project the scene of what was happening there to the rest of the world.

In Grand Xia, within the ancient kingdom, a number of ascendants stood in the airspace above as they stared at the scene in the skies. When Fairy Qingmei noticed Qing`er, her entire body involuntarily trembled violently. She had once guessed that Qing`er had a very extraordinary background but when she finally saw it for herself, the rush of impact in her heart was still so intense.

“Qing`er, is her true origins from the immortal realms?” Fairy Qingmei silently mused.

In Chu, there were also those near Qin Wentian who had seen Qing`er before. And at this moment when their eyes landed on Qing`er in that immortal palace, their hearts couldn’t help but to shiver.

At this moment, Dongsheng Ting could be seen standing at the most dazzling location in the immortal palace, atop that of a wardrum. His gaze stared downwards at the world, and that, in addition to his lofty eyes with cold arrogance caused everyone in the Royal Sacred Region to instantly notice him.

“Who is that person?” All of them wondered.

“My royal father is the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. He will be selecting a disciple here in the Royal Sacred Region and the conditions are that the disciples must be within a hundred years of age, regardless of his or her current cultivation base. Seven days later, the event will be held in this immortal palace.” Dongsheng Ting calmly spoke, his coldly arrogant voice rang out in every corner of this world, causing the heavens and earth to shake.

This man, was the son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor.

The rumors were indeed real. His Majesty, Eastern Sage would really accept a disciple, and it would be a personal disciple.

Such an opportunity, if one could grab onto it, they would surely soar up into the sky with a single leap, instantly gaining extraordinary status.

The people born and bred in the Royal Sacred Region might not understand what these words meant. But those external visitors from the immortal realms clearly knew. This time around, the visitors here were all below the age of a hundred.

Within a hundred years old, that was the best period to cultivate.

A hundred years was a dividing range between geniuses in the immortal realms.

If an expert reached the immortal foundation realm within a hundred years, their futures would be unlimited, this meant that they had the potential to become supreme existences. These people were all characters which exuded unmatched magnificence in the immortal realms. There were many powers who wanted to snatch these characters for themselves, and many powerful existences were willing to take them on as disciples. Even if they had no way to become a disciple under the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, it wouldn’t be difficult for them to join other major powers.

Hence, by having a restriction of age, it was similar to a restriction of talent.

For those who could step into the immortal level within the age of a hundred, how could they ever come to a particle world to snatch with these country bumpkins? If they wanted a master, countless numbers of major powers would open their arms to welcome them.

“This person said that he is the son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. If this is true, he should be the youngest son. He is one of those dazzling magnificent characters that broke through to the immortal level before the age of a hundred.” Some visitors from the immortal realms silently mused as they stared at Dongsheng Ting.

To think that the Eastern Sage Great Emperor would really hold a disciple recruitment event in a country bumpkin world. Even if they weren’t selected, this could also be considered a form of tempering themselves, right? Not only that, they even saw Dongsheng Ting’s glory in person.

Such a character was extremely rarely seen in the immortal realms.

“Seven days later, there will be a connecting tunnel formed. Those who wish to join the selection can use the tunnel to head up to the immortal palace. For those who want to enter, you do so at your own risk. Life and death will be according to your fate, so all of you best consider carefully.” Dongsheng Ting spoke and turned as he departed, disappearing from the view of everyone into the depths of the immortal palace.

Qin Wentian stared at Qing`er’s vanishing silhouette as he sighed silently. The opportunity this time around was something Qing`er had gotten for him. No matter what, he would definitely put forth his best effort.

That young man was actually the youngest son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor. Such a character actually came here personally to fetch Qing`er? What was Qing`er status in the immortal realms exactly?

Slowly walking back to Mo Qingcheng, Qin Wentian held her hand tightly. He stared at her smile yet he wasn’t able to say a single word. There were tens of thousands of words in his vocab, yet nothing was able to express what he felt now.

“Let’s go, Dumbo.” Mo Qingcheng gently smiled. Qin Wentian nodded heavily as he pulled Mo Qingcheng along, leaving together. At the same time, he turned to Lin Xian`er.”Xian`er, let’s travel together for a little while at least.”

“Mhm.” Lin Xian`er nodded. She knew that Qin Wentian was doing this to prevent others from making trouble for her. After all, Qin Wentian just annihilated a bunch of people here.

In the next seven days, the entire world was in shock. Everyone was talking about the immortal palace, the grudge between the Royal Sacred Sect and Qin Wentian was temporarily tossed to one side.

…….

Within the thirty three heavenly realms, there was one within an extremely powerful immortal empire. The youngest princess of the empire has returned, the Evergreen Great Emperor personally led the members of the royal clan to welcome her, and bestowed her a title -‘Evergreen Princess,’ Princess Qing`er.

His Majesty had the title of Evergreen Great Emperor, and the title be bestowed to Qing`er uses the same characters of himself. From this, one could see how much the Evergreen Great Emperor doted on this mysterious princess. This matter, even caused a commotion in a certain region of the immortal realms.

After which, yet another rumored spread that the Eastern Sage Great Emperor actually wanted to recruit a disciple and the location of the selection test was in a country bumpkin world?! It was also rumored that this matter had something to do with the Evergreen Princess.

The Eastern Sage Great Emperor even invited some people to spectate this grand event. These other powerful existences which he invited, were given free reign to accept anyone they found to their liking as their own disciples. Naturally, existences on the same level as the Eastern Sage Great Emperor wouldn’t be interested in this. Those who went were all ranked lower than the Eastern Sage Great Emperor but they too, were extremely powerful existences. If anyone in the Royal Sacred Region was selected by them, that alone was able to change their destiny!

Chapter 714: Connecting Passage

 

Seven days passed by quickly, the people of the Royal Sacred Region were all rubbing their palms, eager for it to begin. Although they knew that hope was slim, there were still many who wanted to try it. For those extraordinary characters that could attend the banquet the Eastern Sage Great Emperor prepared, if they could be noticed by them, their martial path would be incomparably smoother. To the people of the Royal Sacred Region, this was a once in a millennia opportunity to ascend to the heavens.

With super powerful immortals, why would there still be a need to care about the Royal Sacred Sect? The Royal Sacred Sect proclaimed itself as the hegemon of this world, yet Zai Xuan actually colluded with such a despicable character. Their reputation took a further hit after that.

Even for members of the Royal Sacred Sect, all of them desired to try out for the selection event. For those super strong characters in the immortal realms, these were all people even the Sacred Emperor himself had to look up to. And if any of them were selected as a disciple, even the Sacred Emperor had to treat them with courtesy. How glorious was this?

In any case, the entire Royal Sacred Region was waiting for the connecting passageway to the immortal palace in the skies. As for those who were over the age of a hundred, they could only sigh silently to vent their frustrations. They didn’t even have the qualifications to step onto the connecting passageway.

“There are people arriving for the banquet.” At this moment, the people of the world stared at the immortal palace that hung suspended high up in the skies. Before the statue of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, silhouettes of several experts could be seen. Each of them seemed to bring with them immortal wind and had Dao bones, exuding an extraordinary demeanor yet they still dipped into a bow before the stone statue indicating their respect. After all, this stone statue was imbued with the immortal sense of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor.

After paying their respect to the Eastern Sage Great Emperor’s statue, those experts all sat down, enjoying the banquet as they chatted with each other. The hearts of everyone in the Royal Sacred Region were all in awe. Was this truly just a particle world? The Eastern Sage Majesty could actually make an immortal palace levitate in the air, covering the skies, allowing everyone in this world to view what was happening clearly just like how one could see the sun and moon in the sky.

To a supreme existence, an internal world was just a ‘self-proclaimed’ world. To them, it was nothing than a particle, a grain of sand. Could they truly destroy it with a lift of their hands?

How powerful exactly are those supreme existences in the immortal realms?

Although the experts of the immortal realms were chatting happily, the people of the Royal Sacred Sect couldn’t hear anything, they had no idea what these immortals were conversing about.

They could only ‘see’ the scene, and in that immortal palace, a banquet was indeed prepared as experts from the immortal realms continuously arrived. Since the Eastern Sage Great Emperor had invited them, these experts naturally would choose to give him face and head over here.

After all, the Eastern Sage Great Emperor was a supreme existence over an entire region in the immortal realms. For those who reside there, they would certainly give him face. Not only that, experts from other regions of the immortal realms also came by, wanting to see for themselves exactly why did the Eastern Sage Great Emperor choose such an obscure location for a disciple recruitment event.

As for the person in charge of receiving them, it was naturally none other than the youngest son of the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, Dongsheng Ting.

“Dongsheng Ting, what plans does his Majesty have exactly? Why does he want to come to such a remote place to accept disciples?” An old man with a long flowing beard smiled as he stared at Dongsheng Ting. His words instantly caused everyone to turn their gaze over. They only heard rumors but couldn’t be sure of the truth of it. And as for the finer details, none among those invited had any idea at all.

After all, this event had the hand of two Immortal Emperors within. Who would dare to question what they want to do? It was only because Dongsheng Ting was here that’s why they chose to direct the question to him.

“How can I know the thoughts of my royal father? Maybe because father believed that those in particle worlds would seize the opportunity more to climb to the top. If any talents were found, they might be able to stand on a peak higher compared to the rest maybe?” Dongsheng Ting smiled and replied, not sharing the truth.

That old man stroked his beard, as a deep look flickered in his eyes. He then smiled and nodded, “His Majesty’s thinking is possible too but don’t you all find the radius of this disciple recruitment event is a little too small? It’s restricted to this particle world. Given his Majesty’s status, he could instantly cast projections over tens of millions of particle worlds and get them to contend against each other for eight to ten years before he selects the most elite ones.”

“Senior’s explanation has its logic too. But my royal father’s thoughts are too difficult to fathom. Maybe, it’s only because of a moment of interest, and he didn’t think too far ahead.” Dongsheng Ting laughed.

“True, how can we so easily guess at his Majesty’s intentions.” The old man laughed as he continued, “But I wonder which young fellow would be so lucky enough to be accepted as his Majesty’s disciple.”

Although he said it like this, his gleaming eyes still gave off an unfathomable feeling to the crowd. Those that were able to be invited to the banquet were all extraordinary people. Just as what was speculated before, firstly, the participant had to be likable enough to be chosen. Secondly, the talent of that person had to be truly heaven-defying. There were also precedents of supreme existences like the Eastern Sage Great Emperor accepting disciples in the immortal realms before but for the others, they projected the scene over tens of millions of particle world and set a time limit of ten years where the only one standing at the end would gain the qualifications. It was unknown how cruel was it. Many were even driven crazy by the pressure.

So, how could the Eastern Sage Great Emperor accepts a disciple with the location fixed to a single particle world merely because of a moment of interest? Evidently it was impossible.

As for the true person behind the scene, the Evergreen Great Emperor, he was now in a region where celestial qi permeates the air. In front of him, a shadowy projection could be seen and it was actually the scene currently playing out in the Eastern Sage Great Emperor’s immortal palace.

“Since Eastern Sage has promised me, he naturally wouldn’t go back on his word. As long as the little fellow you talked about really has extraordinary talent, the Eastern Sage would definitely consider accepting him as a disciple. Even if the Eastern Sage himself doesn’t like him, he would still make arrangements for people he invited to the banquet to accept him. These people were also extraordinary characters in the immortal realms, or they wouldn’t have been able to receive the invitation to attend the Eastern Sage’s banquet. Qing`er if you are still worried, you can watch everything here.”

The Evergreen Great Emperor had a lanky figure and was currently robed in white. Those eyes which resembled stars, were deep and immeasurable. Each and every one of his actions contained a grace that belonged to him alone and at this moment, his countenance was extremely gentle with a smile on his face. He seemed like a loving father, no trace of the ferocious being which started a war for the control of an immortal empire could be seen on his face.

“Mhm.” Qing`er nodded slightly, her cool gaze staring at the projection ahead, staring at the scene same in comparison to what those in the Royal Sacred Region were looking at.

Other than the Evergreen Great Emperor, in this immortal region, there were also many experts that used extraordinary methods to spy upon what was happening in the Eastern Sage Immortal Palace. In fact, there were even supreme existences among them who instantly used their immortal senses to sweep throughout the Royal Sacred Region.

Qin Wentian stood in the airspace above the Medicine Sovereign Valley, he could actually sense faint wisps of the supreme existences’ senses sweeping past his body before vanishing in an instant. Not only that, it happened more than a few times and it actually caused him to sigh in his heart. If one really thought that by stepping into Celestial Phenomenon would mean that one would be a character that stood at the peak, that would really be a frog in a well. In front of these truly powerful experts from the immortal realms, they were simply too tiny and inconsequential. If he accidentally offend any one of them, just the immortal sense from any of these supreme experts was already sufficient to search for and directly kill him. This strength was simply too terrifying.

His martial path had just begun, he had just come into contact with the immortal realms.

At this moment, in the immortal palace in the skies, streams of resplendent light akin to the rays of the dazzling sun abruptly shone down. They converged together and formed a golden-colored picture that contained an intense spatial energy fluctuation. After which this picture was supported by pillars of light as they descended from the skies to the ground.

In this instant, countless pillars of light appeared everywhere in the vast royal sacred region and within each light pillar, the same resplendent golden-colored picture could be seen. Mysterious divine inscriptions flowed and circulated about, exuding that intense spatial energy fluctuation.

“Connecting pathway? Is this the pathway Dongsheng Ting spoke about that time?” The hearts of the people from the Royal Sacred Region trembled. Everyone felt their heart moved even if they were mundane and ordinary cultivators. They are unable to hold back the longing in their hearts and decided to step into the pillars of light, on top of the golden picture. And when they lifted their heads as they ascended, they discovered that above them there were no skies, it was only the empty space of the void.

In a certain location of the Royal Sacred Region, a Heavenly Dipper Sovereign couldn’t control the himself and decided to step into the pillar of light. With the increasingly brightening radiance of the golden picture, and a buzzing sound that echoed out, his body directly disappeared within the light pillar yet he didn’t arrived in the immortal palace straight away and rather, appeared in a certain location high up in the sky. This was the limits of where his perception could reach. After which, he began to fall back onto the ground.

Dongsheng Ting walked up and stood atop the wardrum as he swept his gaze down to the people, speaking in a cold and arrogant tone, “Use your perception to lock onto these immortal mountains, just like how you communicate with constellations in the astral heavenly layers. Those whose perception that cannot reach here, simply means you have no qualifications to even be here.”

“Senior Medicine Sovereign, Qingcheng, I will be going now.” Qin Wentian turned and spoke to the Medicine Sovereign as well as Mo Qingcheng who was standing by his side.

“Go on.” The Medicine Sovereign smiled. Let’s hope that Qin Wentian really had a chance to enter the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s tutelage. If that was the case, a power on the tier of the Royal Sacred Sect wouldn’t even be qualified enough to meet him. Even their Sacred Emperor had to be respectful when he saw Qin Wentian. How would he still dare to issue kill orders at all?

Qin Wentian slowly stepped out, heading towards a pillar of light. The instant he stepped within, he could sense an overwhelming astral energy fluctuation as the golden picture beneath him started spinning rapidly about, causing a spatial energy to coat his body.

Qin Wentian closed his eyes as his perception soared upwards, following the trajectory of the light pillar. He could faintly sense that this pillar of light was formed of an energy with similar properties to the astral energy of the nine heavenly layers.

In that instant, Qin Wentian’s overwhelming perception gushed forth. And just a second later, his perception locked onto the place where the immortal mountain was as he ‘saw’ everything there, as well as the fact that several experts had already arrived up there. These were none other than participants for the disciple recruitment event as well.

“How fast, seems like there are many external visitors from the immortal realms, but they chose to stay hidden compared to the others.” Qin Wentian silently mused. He didn’t stop after his perception locked on. He felt that it wasn’t beyond him for his perception to climb even higher.

Although there seemed to be an invisible and formless energy trying to obstruct his perception, Qin Wentian showed no hesitation and continued to climb upwards, directly breaking past the restrictive force. Instantly, his perception arrived at an even higher mountain. Similarly, there were also people already here and this mountain as compared to the first one, was even further away from the Royal Sacred Region.

Seems like the instant this connecting pathway was created, the test has already started. This was a criteria that’s designed to weed out the incompetent!

Chapter 715: Peak of the Ninth Immortal Mountain

 

Qin Wentian didn’t stop at the second level mountain. His perception continued to climb upwards as yet another formless energy tried to bar his advancement.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s perception transformed into a perception projection body, appearing among the immortal mountain range as he ascended peak by peak up in the air. In his surroundings, all kinds of perception projections appeared. Qin Wentian could vividly sense the presence of the other participants.

Evidently, it wasn’t merely Qin Wentian alone who sought a higher peak. Those who stopped at the first level mountains were the weakest tier. Their starting step undoubtedly was much later compared to others.

“Bzz!” The formless restrictive energy layer was broken apart as Qin Wentian’s projection rushed upwards. He saw the third-level immortal mountains and as long as he was willing, his projection could land there and his original body would materialize.

“Bzzz, Bzzz, Bzzz!”

In the surrounding space, the silhouettes of other projections also caught up. There were also experts who chose to appear. He wasn’t the only one. In that instant when the connecting pillars of light landed everywhere in the Royal Sacred Region, those who were prepared had already rushed in, including the external visitors. They were very clear of the meaning of becoming a disciple under a supreme existence. They naturally would cherish this chance.

Even if they didn’t succeed in entering the Eastern Sage Great Emperor’s tutelage, they still had to do their best to impress the other powerful characters at the banquet.

The fourth-level immortal mountains, the fifth-level, the sixth-level… Qin Wentian unceasingly climbed upwards.

On the level where the immortal palace hung suspended. The experts of the banquet could clearly see what was happening below.

Below them, there were a total of nine mountains, each one taller than the last and the distances between them were further and further apart.

This trial tested the participants’ affinity and perception strength. These were the basis and foundation of a stellar martial cultivator. Even though people in the Royal Sacred Region rarely had this segment as a test, they took affinity very seriously in the immortal realms. If one’s foundation wasn’t outstanding enough, why still talk about cultivation?

“Not bad, there’s one who ascended to the sixth peak. With such perception strength, he should be able to barge into the 6th astral heavenly layer and could stabilize and stay there.” In the banquet, an expert smiled and nodded.

“Not bad indeed. There’s still more trying to ascend higher, there will definitely be people that can ascend the seventh mountain peak and even the eighth peak isn’t impossible. This time around, for this disciple recruitment event, there are many talented geniuses from the immortal realms who specially came to this particle world. Maybe, even I will be able to find a disciple I like here.” This man who spoke was clad in armor. His entire body had an abyssal destructive aura to it and that pair of eyes that were currently flickering with smiles, were extremely terrifying.

This person was Deepflame, an immortal king under the Eastern Sage Great Emperor with the title Flame King. His strength was mighty, surpassing those on the same tier as him and he even had a regiment of troops under his command. He fought in wars for the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, against the forces of another supreme existences. It was unknown how much blood was on his hands.

“Flame King, you actually want to recruit a disciple as well? Most likely you will be throwing that poor guy into your army for training right?” An elegant scholarly-like character clad in white laughed. This person appeared extremely young, around twenty to thirty years of age. He exuded a clean and neat aura and those who didn’t know him would definitely have thought that he’s just a little brat who just started on the pathway of cultivation. But in fact, this white-robed person who had a refined and scholarly look had already cultivated over 8,000 years. But given his cultivation base level, 8,000 years was already considered extremely young for him to reach such a level.

This person was named Bai Wuya, a character at the immortal king tier. He also had transcendent might and because of the short period of time he had cultivated for, there was once an ancient immortal king expert who wanted to bully him and seize his treasures. But the ending was that ancient immortal king was completely decimated in a single strike. This battle constituted his fame and imposingness. There was also another story where a thousand years after he stepped into the immortal king level, he killed a descendent of an immortal emperor because that descendant was a despicable scum. This caused the immortal emperor to be so enraged there he sent out thirteen immortal king tiered experts to surround Bai Wuya yet they were all annihilated by him. This only further added onto his fame.

Although immortal king tiered experts were also classified into levels, those thirteen immortal kings cultivation bases weren’t any weaker than Bai Wuya. Bai Wuya’s combat prowess was simply too astonishing and in the end, his potential attracted another supreme existence on the immortal emperor level to speak out for him. And only then, did the enraged immortal emperor stop hunting him down.

There were many who feared Deepflame, but Bai Wuya even dared to kill a descendent of an immortal emperor because of his target’s arrogance and the tyranny he caused, how could he fear an immortal king like Deepflame?

“Hmph, since his Majesty is recruiting a disciple, this seat naturally had to be present to support. Bai Wuya, how about each of us choose a participant to accept as disciples and see which of them would travel further in the future?” Deepflame seemed to have an air of confrontation about him when he spoke to Bai Wuya, exuding an incredibly frightening and cold aura.

For characters at the immortal king tier, they already had the qualifications to be termed as supreme existences. But for those in the immortal realms, only those of the particle worlds would term immortal king characters as a supreme existence. They wouldn’t call immortal kings that because simply, only immortal emperors were the true controllers of things in the immortal realms. They were almighty figures with the power to truly know all underneath the heavens.

Naturally, immortal kings and immortal emperors were only separated by a small boundary. But to existences on their levels, each step to improve was as hard as a mortal trying to become an immortal. Wanting to take a small step forward is even harder than ascending the heavens. Unless for those who possessed truly extraordinary talents, or those who were innately blessed with innate supremacy like special physiques like the rumored Princess Qing`er’s immortal king physique, these people was destined to reach the immortal king tier at the very least. To countless people, the immortal king tier was something so high up that it was unreachable. But to these people, the immortal king tier was merely their starting point. It was a matter of time before they reached it. One could very well imagine how terrifying the potential of these people were.

“I, Bai, have no interest to recruit any disciples. But we can compare our judgement if that interests you.” Bai Wuya faintly spoke, causing the others at the banquet to laugh. “Okay, since we are all here to give face to his Majesty, we can’t be too boring. Let’s casually play together and compare our judgements. Look, it’s only been such a short time and there’s already someone that ascended the seventh peak. Truly excellent, for those who can step onto the seventh peak, this means that their perception would be able to step into the peak of the 6th heavenly layer. A sentence by his Majesty had actually attracted so many genius characters to appear in this remote particle world.”

“The eighth peak! As expected, there are even more outstanding seedlings. For their original bodies to materialize on the eighth peak, this meant that their perception would be able to reach the 7th heavenly layer of the nine astral rivers!”

“What’s so strange about this? A majority of these people are Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants, and there are so many who are at the upper limits of the seventh, eighth and ninth level. Such characters have no excuses not to be able to reach the sixth peak. And we are now talking about a personal disciple under his Majesty, it’s only normal that they should be able condense an astral soul from the 7th heavenly layer for their fifth astral soul when they stepped into the Celestial Phenomenon level.” Deepflame emotionlessly spoke, respect for his Great Emperor could be seen flickering in his eyes.

Many had smiles on their faces, yet they didn’t think so in their hearts. Even in the immortal realms, the vast majority of Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants condensed their fifth astral souls from the 6th heavenly layer. Although their affinity and perception would improve upon breaking through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it wasn’t so easy to break through the restrictive force in the 6th heavenly layer to the seventh. Although there were some talented young characters under the Eastern Sage Great Emperor, they were only a limited few in number.

As for those who could stand at the ninth peak, their perception projection needed to last stably for a period of time on the 7th heavenly layer, able to roam as they will. Would there be such a character in this bunch of participants today, nobody knew.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s perception also reached the eighth mountain peak. The perception projections of participants here dwindled, most of them crushed by the overwhelming astral pressure.

“There’s already a person whose actual body appeared on this mountain and a few other perception projections. This indicated that not only me, these people had good affinity as well. I must continue upwards to indicate my extraordinariness.” Qin Wentian didn’t halt, he continued to rush upwards. This opportunity was something Qing`er had gotten for him. He naturally wished to obtain this.

At the same time, he also had another reason wanting to enter the tutelage of a supreme existence. Only this way would the distance between him and Qing`er be shortened.

After all, Qing`er was the princess of an immortal empire.

Qin Wentian and the others continued to barge upwards. In addition there were other perception projections catching up to them. There were some who knew that they already reached their limit, and because they were worried that their projection would shatter due to the astral pressure, they decided to materialize here. After a few hours, there were already five people / individuals who stood on the eighth mountain peak, causing many experts enjoying the banquet to let out exclaims of surprise. Just within a few hours and there were already five, there might even be more people appearing on the eighth mountain later on.

And at this moment, on the highest ninth immortal mountain peak, a person appeared there.

The arrival of this person caused a fluctuation of astral energy. His black eyes flashed with bright lights as an ice-cold aura emanated from him. When his gaze sweep through the eight mountains below, no hint of satisfaction could be seen within as though everything was just as he expected. He should of course be the person who stood on the highest peak.

“There’s actually someone who managed to ascend to the ninth peak.” The eyes of those experts attending the banquet flashed with gleams of sharpness as they stared at the silhouette on the ninth peak, feeling slightly stirred in their hearts.

“This seedling isn’t bad. Within a hundred years old and his cultivation is at the eighth-level of Celestial Phenomenon. With such a strong affinity, although I’m not sure what layer his fifth astral soul is from, his next one will definitely be a violet-gold astral soul. He has very good potential and a high chance to succeed in stepping into the immortal foundation level.” Deepflame glanced at the other experts as he spoke. A light flashed in his eyes. As the first to reached the ninth peak, this meant that that participant’s affinity and perception was extremely strong.

“A few more appeared on the eighth mountain peak.” Someone added.

“Only then would this be interesting, it would be the best if their performance could cause his Majesty to materialize here.”

The people of the Royal Sacred Region all could see the scene playing out in the immortal palace. Even the events at the nine-level mountains could clearly be seen as well, including the participants. They were all truly imposing, especially the person who stood at the peak, high-up and unrivalled, reigning supreme as though there was only him alone in this world.

“Bzz!”

At this moment, Qin Wentian who had kept trying unceasingly, finally broke through the restrictive layer. His perception sensed the ninth immortal mountain as well as the overwhelming pressure there. Sighing in his heart, it seems like he knew that he had almost reached his limit and had no way to continue rushing upwards further.

His perception locked onto the mountain and instantly, his original body materialized there. Resplendent golden light flashed, Qin Wentian directly disappeared in the Royal Sacred Region and appeared on the peak of the ninth mountain along side with an intense astral energy fluctuation!
