Chapter 1688: Universal Attention
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Xin Yu was different from Yan Yuruo. To Xin Yu, she and Qin Wentian had once been intimate before but that was under the circumstances when Qin Wentian was injured. At that time, Qin Wentian was unconscious. Even though he came here to see her, and even sent people to fetch her to the Devil Mountain, this was something that stemmed from his guilt, and nothing else.
Also, she also felt inferior. Right now, Qin Wentian truly sat upon the throne in the sky, he was the lord of all devils. What qualifications did she have, how could she be one of the women that stood by his side? Why didn’t she just silently wish him well as she faded away into obscurity?
Yan Yuruo was different. She was treated like a devilish female by Qin Wentian and her personality was more casual and carefree. Although she did feel something for Qin Wentian, she understood that they were ultimately people of different levels. She might long for him in her heart but she has taken the feeling away and buried it deeply. Naturally, she didn’t mind teasing Qin Wentian occasionally if she ran into him. Although he was already the Myriad Devil Sovereign, it wasn’t as though she didn’t tease him in the past. In fact, she had even hugged him before.
Wanting to fetch her to the Devil Mountain for cultivation? Qin Wentian might show up there some times and the Devil Mountain was such a good location to cultivate. Why should she reject it?
Hence, both Yan Yuruo and Xin Yu made different choices.
Qin Wentian didn’t know about any of this. He had already returned to the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
The immortal realms suddenly had a period of peace. Many peak characters in the City of Ancient Emperors have exited there and returned to their respective clans or sects. They naturally learned about the news of Qin Wentian’s return as well.
Right now, this was like the calm before the storm. Everyone was quietly waiting for the storm to erupt.
The location of the brewing storm was the same as almost two hundred years ago, the location where the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire was at.
However, would the ending be the same?
With regards to this point, many people weren’t clear. Everyone had different opinions.
Right now, there were two alliances among the peak powers in the north. The first was the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Hundred Refinements Sect and the Jadestage Palace. They were extremely powerful and defended the ordinary humans from the invasion of demonic beasts. The other alliance was made up of reclusive characters akin to Matriarch Ji. They and their disciples joined together and decided to form a sect. The strength of their alliance didn’t lose out to the first alliance formed by the three great peak powers of the north.
This second alliance named themselves as the Chaotic Sky Sect, this name just so coincided with the current chaotic era. They couldn’t help but to form an alliance to avoid being absorbed or destroyed. Right now, the situation in the immortal realms was like this. Even for peak powers, they didn’t have absolute confidence to stand stably if they had no alliance. Through these years, many peak powers had declined and was destroyed, disappearing from the central stage of the immortal realms. The clearest examples were from the eastern regions. Almost all of the peak powers then had fallen.
At this moment at the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. An immortal emperor came here to pay a visit. This immortal emperor said that he was from the Evergreen Immortal Empire and came here on Qin Wentian’s orders.
Right now, what sort of character was Qin Wentian? This matter was naturally instantly reported to the Darknorth Immortal Emperor and he personally came to see this visitor.
The person who came was none other than Xu Li. He has followed Qin Wentian for many years, ever since the first day Qin Wentian became the northern governor of Lifire City until today. He had also witnessed Qin Wentian’s growth and can be considered one of Qin Wentian’s trusted aides. His loyalty to Qin Wentian even exceeded his loyalty to Ye Qianyu.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor brought along Beiming Nongyue as they received Xu Li. Right now, Beiming Nongyue’s beauty was even more outstanding than the past. She has married Li Yufeng. Their relationship was founded on the basis of love and had cemented the alliance between the Darknorth Dynasty and the Hundred Refinements Sect.
“Xu Li pays my respects to the Darknorth Immortal Emperor.” Xu Li clasped his hands and spoke. Given his status, there originally wasn’t a need for him to be so polite to the ruler of an empire in the lower worlds. However, this was something Qin Wentian wanted him to do.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor felt puzzled when he saw how courteous Xu Li was. He then asked, “May I know what’s the reason of your visit here?”
“Palace Lord bade me to transmit some information to you. Beiming Youhuang is safe. He initially wished to come here personally for a visit but right now, he needed to be prepared during these troubled times. After the commotion is settled, he will definitely personally pay a visit to your Darknorth Immortal Empire and allow your majesty to communicate with Beiming Youhuang. Right now, does your majesty have any words you wish to convey to me? Palace Lord can directly pass your words to Beiming Youhuang.” Xu Li didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke.
Given Qin Wentian’s relationship with Beiming Youhuang. He should truly have personally paid a visit here. However, right now things were extremely chaotic. Qin Wentian didn’t dare to recklessly move away from the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Before he headed to the Myriad Devil Islands, he even directly got his subordinates to build a teleportation array. Hence, this was why he told Xu Li to come here. No matter what, he still had to let the Darknorth Immortal Emperor know that they were on the same side. If not, the Darknorth Immortal Empire might be instigated and join his enemy’s camp. This wasn’t something Qin Wentian wanted to see.
“Where is my elder sister?” Beiming Nongyue’s beautiful eyes sparkled like gems as she asked first, before the Darknorth Immortal Emperor could say anything.
“In the Lifelong Realm of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. As to her exact location, Palace Lord Qin isn’t clear about that.” Xu Li replied.
“Qin Wentian can really converse with my elder sister despite them being in different immortal realms?” Beiming Nongyue asked again.
“There’s something called messaging crystals in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. With this, no matter how far apart two people are, they can communicate via immortal sense as long as they had once input a strand of their immortal sense in their crystals.” Xu Li nodded.
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor nodded, “Thanks for making the effort to come here.”
“Don’t worry about it. I shall take my leave now then.” Xu Li clasped his hands. After that, he turned and left, not planning to stay a moment longer.
“Nongyue, do you think this is real?” The Darknorth Immortal Emperor asked after Xu Li departed.
“Father, Qin Wentian wouldn’t lie to us.” Beiming Nongyue directly spoke. She had a pretty good relationship with Qin Wentian. Although there was some conflict between Beiming Youhuang and Qin Wentian back then, since Qin Wentian sent someone to bring word to them, this should be real.
“Back then, did that lass Youhuang really run off with Qin Wentian?” A puzzled expression could be seen on the Darknorth Immortal Emperor’s face. Why didn’t his daughter inform him of anything when she left?
Beiming Nongyue also felt puzzled. She blinked before she suddenly laughed, “Since elder sister is fine, we can set our hearts at ease. I’m preparing to head to the Evergreen Immortal Empire with Yufeng.”
The Darknorth Immortal Emperor glanced at Beiming Nongyue before he smiled and nodded, “You and Qin Wentian are friends, it’s also appropriate for you to go there.”
After several days, Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue silently arrived at the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Upon seeing his old friends coming to visit, Qin Wentian naturally happily received them. Back then, he was already extremely fond of Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue’s characters. Now that he heard that they were married, he was naturally extremely happy.
Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue actually didn’t know how to describe the feelings in their hearts when they saw Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian was from the same generation as them and from a certain view point, their starting points were both higher than him. But now, the disparity between them was like the difference between the heavens and earth. Although Qin Wentian still treated them as friends, him, Qing`er and Qingcheng leisurely chatted with them, they still couldn’t help but to feel extreme admiration for him and a sense of helplessness when they saw he had so many immortal emperor-level subordinates.
The Qin Wentian in the past was a supreme genius. He was surrounded and hunted down but he actually didn’t die.
Now that he has returned, Qin Wentian can no longer be called a genius. He is truly someone who stands at the very pinnacle of the immortal realms. When they came here, they even saw an extremely terrifying phoeroc and golden sun demon beast. These two were the kings of the two demonic races, but Qin Wentian directly killed his way into their bases and captured them. How imposing was this? He had no equals in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.
Even for a supreme genius like Li Yufeng, he had no airs before Qin Wentian and could only sigh at his own inferiority.
After the banquet, through Qin Wentian’s passing of messages, Beiming Youhuang and Beiming Nongyue finally managed to communicate. After that, Qin Wentian gave Beiming Nongyue and Li Yufeng some cultivation resources, saying that this was instructed by Youhuang, a gift from the elder sister to the younger one. Beiming Nongyue naturally didn’t feel good to reject.
He also gave them some messaging crystals as well. After that, the two of them kept a low-profile and departed.
After all, Qin Wentian simply had too many enemies in the immortal realms. Before the curtains were drawn, Qin Wentian didn’t wish to implicate his friends.
Now, the agreed date announced by Qin Wentian has almost arrived. The originally desolate location of the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s royal capital, was now filled with an unknown amount of experts who came from various locations. They were all prepared to witness the grand unfolding of events that would occur soon. It has almost been two hundred years since something like this occurred. They naturally didn’t want to miss it.
Naturally, those who are weak didn’t dare to come. If not, the aftershocks from the battle might just kill them. The weakest among the spectators who came were at the immortal-foundation realm.
The vast royal capital has never been so lively even during its prosperous period. All the inns and restaurants were full. There were countless people discussing about the major events of the immortal realms and what would happen next.
“Qin Wentian has returned and invited all heroes of the world to gather. Seems like he is extremely confident and is out for revenge.”
“That’s right. Back then in the past, Qin Wentian was already a supreme genius. He could kill immortal emperors when he was only at the immortal king realm. Right now, since he is at the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm, who could contend for supremacy against him? Old Devil Duo Tian and the others wanted to test his strength and ended up paying with their lives. How powerful are the demonic kings from the Phoeroc and Gold Sun Demonic Race? Yet they were captured so easily and was tormented to such pitiful straits. From my point of view, Qin Wentian most probably wants the throne of our immortal realms, he seeks to become an ancient emperor.”
“Nonsense.” Another person coldly spoke. “Qin Wentian’s arrogance knows no bounds, he actually dares to invite all the major powers to gather at the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Even with the help of the Southern Phoenix Clan and Matriarch Ji, how can he be strong enough to unify the immortal realms? Don’t forget that there are many peak powers that have enmity towards Qin Wentian.”
“That’s right, if Qin Wentian wants to unify the immortal realms, there’s no doubt that all the other peak powers have to submit.”
Many people silently agreed. Many of such voices appeared in the Evergreen Immortal Empire saying that Qin Wentian wanted to proclaim himself hegemon of the entire immortal realms. Evidently, someone purposely revealed this information to make the other major powers ally themselves to deal with Qin Wentian. After all, right now in the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s royal capital, there were many juniors of the various major powers of the immortal realms. They have all arrived.
Also, one couldn’t help but say that the speculations of these people weren’t wrong at all.
In any case, all these were discussions held in the dark but it was true that there were many people who didn’t feel that Qin Wentian had enough strength to dominate the entire immortal realms. Although the strength he had displayed was immense, but don’t forget that there was still a power named the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in the immortal realms. There are also rumors saying that the Senluo Immortal Empire had an ancient emperor character who told Qin Wentian to submit himself to them.
All sorts of voices could be heard. The announced date has finally arrived.
Today, everyone in the immortal realms were paying attention to this!
