Chapter 1171: Chaotic Situation
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian continued standing in front of the Stonebell Rampart, experiencing the baptism effect as the longing bell chimes continued endlessly. Qin Wentian's immortal-foundation grew even more resplendent, as his immortal might was continuously upgraded. Now, every part of his bones, blood, sinews, were all embedded with attribute energies, growing stronger and stronger.
"The body of that fellow is already so tyrannical and was originally sufficiently perfect. Now, he is undergoing another round of baptism by the rampart, his physique and foundation would only be more perfect than before." The hearts of everyone mused silently. Given Qin Wentian's talent, if it wasn't for the fact that his cultivation base was somewhat lower, he would surely be another character on Huang Shatian's level, able to dominate an entire sacred academy.
However, there was no denying that Qin Wentian's potential was truly shocking. In the future, he would surely be an extremely terrifying character. It was almost for sure that as long as he didn't perish early in life, he would surely be a character that ruled over an entire region in the future.
The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were all incredibly ugly to behold. Qin Wentian still ultimately succeeded. Now, that supreme genius of their empire was no longer the sole person accomplishing this legendary feat. Also, Qin Wentian's purpose of using this trial was to announce his longing for Qing`er. This action undoubtedly was also a slap to their faces.
At this moment, for those people who gathered around the rampart, many of them recognized Qin Wentian. Before this, a majority of the cultivators in the sacred academy where Qin Wentian was in were all demonic beasts but here in this academy, the number of humans are far higher in comparison. There are experts from all powers around the immortal realms gathered here.
For example Ying Teng and some members of the Ying Clan, some experts from the Southern Phoenix Clan, Jiang Ziyu and some experts from the Jiang Clan, Skymist Immortal Empire, Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, Violet Emperor Sect, Paragon Sword Sect, Sky Demon Sect, and more were all gathered in this sacred academy. At this moment, when the commotion shook the entire academy, they naturally all recognized Qin Wentian
Other than that, some of the members from the Heavenly Talisman Realm and Battle Saint Tribe were here as well. After they heard the voice saying, 'Qing`er, I miss you!' they instantly knew who the one accomplishing the 81 steps was and made their way over here as soon as possible.
At this moment, this place could truly be considered as the place where wind and clouds meet, experts were everywhere, drawn here by the sound of the bell chimes caused by Qin Wentian.
At this moment, a loud sound of people arriving rang out. The gazes of everyone turned over only to see a group of females arriving here. Among them, there was a beautiful maiden with an aura as pure as ice from the snow mountains could be seen standing in the center, staring at Qin Wentian. In the depths of her crystal-like eyes, it felt like there was only Qin Wentian's existence within.
The daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, and disciple of Matriarch Ji, Qing`er has arrived. Many people in the immortal realms knew that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor sent Qing`er away when she was just a baby and only brought her back to the immortal empire after everything has calmed down. It was then that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor granted her her princess title. Not many people knew the true name of Princess Qing`er and many people thought that Qing`er itself was her full name. However, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor allowed her to take on the empire's namesake, making it so that her name was Evergreen Qing`er. From this, one should be able to sense how much doting love the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had for this youngest daughter of his.
However, nobody bothered to find out why and everyone wasn't too interested in this. It was already sufficient to know who she was.
The experts blocking Qing`er and her group were naturally people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Wudi and his subordinates.
"What do you all mean by this?" An expert at Qing`er's side asked, she was a disciple under the same master, someone who studied under Matriarch Ji.
Matriarch Ji was an extremely powerful female emperor that ruled over a certain area in the Eastern Regions. She was extremely powerful and her disciples were naturally all also not ordinary characters. Qing`er entered the sect late and had the status of junior apprentice sister. But one point to note was that these apprentice sisters treated each other very well with true care and concern.
"Princess Qing`er, what are you doing here?" Huang Wudi asked.
"Does this have anything to do with you?" The countenance of the maidens beside Qing`er turned cold. During these days, they have been accompanied Qing`er everywhere and encountered quite a bit of harassment. How could they have no idea what the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was trying to do? These opinionated fellows actually really wanted to take Qing`er as Huang Shatian's woman just from a single sentence Huang Shatian said?
"This matter concerns my royal brother, hence it naturally has a connection with my Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire. It's best for Princess Qing`er not to walk too closely with a male or my royal brother might misunderstand and feel unhappy." Huang Wudi spoke, his words causing the expressions of Qing`er and her group to turn even colder.
"Step out of our way." Qing`er's eyes gleamed with ice as she stepped out. The longing the bell chimes were emanating was still resounding out. Qin Wentian was just before her, how could she not have missed him as well?
Nobody can obstruct her. As for the people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, she wasn't acquainted with them at all, they had no place in her heart.
The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire released their auras. Before this they already lost a battle, causing Huang Youdi to be humiliated badly by Qin Wentian. This time around, this matter concerns the most outstanding elite prince-level character of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, Huang Shatian. No matter what, they cannot afford to lose any more face despite know that their actions were very rude.
An intense spatial light then radiated from Qing`er. She and her fellow sisters stepped forth, all of them exuding spatial energy. Qing`er and the others then stepped forward, their movements cloaked by layers of space, making it hard for others to see their figures. Among all the attribute energies, space was undoubtedly one of the most terrifyingly powerful ones out of all.
"BOOM!" From Huang Wudi, a fearsome sword might slashed apart the space, the light radiating from his sword actually managed to seal this space. And as expected, all the maidens had ugly expressions as they were forced to reveal themselves. Although Huang Wudi wasn't as famous as Huang Shatian, he was ultimately still a very fearsome existence. This was especially so considering the fact that his cultivation base was already at the ninth-level of immortal-foundation.
"Everyone, pardon my offence." Huang Wudi stood in the air. With him at the center, this entire space was filled with sword rays, not allowing Qing`er and her group to advance forward.
"Allow us to handle this." A maiden stepped out. Her cultivation base was similarly at the ninth-level and was one of the strongest disciples under Matriarch Ji which come to the sacred academy. The spatial light that radiated from her body grew incomparably resplendent. What Matriarch Ji was proficient in, was precisely spatial energy manipulation. The disciples she accepted were all gifted in the same attributes as well.
From this maiden, swords formed of spatial energy manifested and floated before her. They then abruptly slashed out with ferocious might, aiming for Huang Wudi as well as the numerous sword rays blocking their path. She actually succeeded in slicing out gaps in space and Qing`er and the others hurriedly took this opportunity and sped forward.
But at this very moment, there were more experts which appeared once again before them. One of these experts coldly laughed, "Princess Qing`er, please do not forget the result of the adjudication from the Eastern Regions of the immortal realms. According to the agreement, Princess Qing`er is already considered a woman of my Skymist Immortal Empire and would marry into our royal clan sooner or later. We hope that Princess Qing`er can respect that and conduct herself with dignity."
"This was a decision made by your group of sneaky individuals, yet you want to enforce it onto others? What dogshit immortal law ajudication?" A maiden under Matriarch Ji with a violent temper coldly shot back.
"This adjudication is something that several peak powers of the Eastern Regions bore witness to. Although you might be a disciple of Matriarch Ji, aren't your words a little too disrespectful?" Gu Xiao from the Paragon Sword Sect emotionlessly spoke. Earlier, he was injured because of Qin Wentian's words and now, his aura was still fluctuating and he has yet to fully recover.
"Are you all intending to restrict the freedom of the members from Matriach Ji's sect?" The maidens spoke with a chill in their voice. These people were too ridiculous.
Qin Wentian was still enduring the baptism, but right now, he also knew that Qing`er has arrived. Opening his eyes, this entire space trembled. At the next moment, he actually willingly gave up the baptism and stepped out of the 81st footprint.
"He gave up."
"He actually gave up such an opportunity? Seems like the longing in the bell chimes didn't have a single hint of deceit."
Everyone sighed. Completing the 81 steps would allow him an extremely rare opportunity to undergo the baptism from the Stonebell Rampart. This was something that everyone longed for in their dreams. However right now, Qin Wentian actually took the initiative to step out of it halfway.
Qin Wentian turned his head and walked out, instantly arriving before Qing`er. His gaze was filled with gentleness, staring at that flawlessly beautiful figure who has quieted down.
Qing`er was getting more and more beautiful. After thirty plus years of not seeing her, Qin Wentian suddenly had a feeling as though they were separated by a lifetime. His eyes just couldn't leave her.
Qing`er was as though she could sense the heat of Qin Wentian's gaze and faintly evaded his eyes. On her ice-cold features, an expression of shyness appeared, causing Qin Wentian to fall into a daze.
The only thing that was causing Qin Wentian unhappiness was that between him and Qing`er, there were actually people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and Skymist Immortal Empire blocking them.
"Hasn't the face of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire been smacked swollen? Why do they still have the face to remain here?" At this moment, a voice echoed out. This voice actually belonged to Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian's other comrades from the other sacred academy. Before this they were being pursued in the Sky Connecting Realm. Some of them managed to flee while the others sought death to escape the realm but Qin Wentian had still sent them a voice transmission telling them to gather in this particular academy if possible.
"Earlier Huang Youdi, who proclaimed himself to be a match for everyone under the heavens, said arrogantly that his words are logic because he is strong. He wanted my senior brother to say those retarded words out loud but what was the end result? He was beaten up so badly that he didn't even have the strength to retaliate against my senior brother who jumped levels. At the end, he was even forced to admit that he was wrong in front of everyone. Such a grave humiliation, yet the people of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire has forgotten this so quickly. Truly impressive."
The countenances of everyone flashed. Now that the four academies are connected, they naturally knew about Huang Shatian. And hence, by connection, they naturally also heard of Huang Youdi. Huang Youdi was extremely talented and had potential higher even compared to Huang Wudi. He was extremely strong but was he actually defeated by Qin Wentian, a person who was lower in cultivation base compared to him?
If that is the case, this young man Qin Wentian who created history, was truly terrifying.
Not only for Jun Mengchen and his group, at this moment, more and more experts gradually walked out from the crowd. These people were all disciples from the Heavenly Talisman Realm and Battle Saint Tribe that were in this academy. With regards to the Battle Saint Tribe, Qin Wentian was their Saint Lord while with regards to those from the Heavenly Talisman Realm, these people also didn't want a junior apprentice brother of theirs being bullied.
During this time, this entire area was filled with powerful experts. Qin Wentian and his comrades gradually outnumbered their opponents. However at this moment, experts from the Paragon Sword Sect walked out from the crowd.
"Wow, how lively." Another voice rang out, it was none other than the young man who harrassed Qing`er in this sacred academy back then. He, as well as the experts from the Violet Emperor Sect also walked out.
Such a chaotic situation caused all the spectators to feel more and more interested. Qin Wentian completed the 81 steps of the Stonebell Rampart and created history, infusing his longing into the bell chimes, attracting all the experts of this academy over here. It seems like a grand upheaval would soon occur!
