Chapter 1907: Friends and Enemies
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After Qin Cang heard Qin Wentian’s words, he directly turned and sped away.
A heavenly deity from the powerful Qin Clan actually chose to flee.
This seemed somewhat mocking. Not long ago, Qin Li and Qin Cang still publicly proclaimed that they would capture Qin Wentian back to the Qin Clan to apologize and force the secret of the Heaven Vault out, handing control to the Qin Clan. But now, Qin Cang as a respectable heavenly deity, actually chose to run away instead of fighting.
Although this felt extremely mocking, it was also normal. The strengths of Qin Li and Qin Cang were relatively on the same level. Since Qin Wentian could easily handle Qin Li, it naturally wouldn’t be difficult for him to deal with Qin Cang.
How difficult was it for one to cultivate to the level of a heavenly deity? They would naturally treasure their lives.
“Wanting to leave now? Isn’t it a little too late?” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. With a glance, the time and space there seemed to twist. His gaze was extremely terrifying, shooting out beams of heavenly dao light. With a single glance, the area ahead was completely engulfed by his pressure. The space there churned wildly, as the laws of time and space revolved rapidly.
At this moment, the experts in the boundless sea region all saw Qin Wentian’s eyes. His eyes were like the heavenly dao, representing the law order of heaven and earth.
When Qin Cang sensed the spacetime twisting, his expression turned ashen. He punched out, causing heaven and earth to rumble. This fist of his seemed capable of penetrating everything, yet it failed to break apart the twisting space and time. The pressure produced by the twist bore down on him, pulling him in, and tethered him to Qin Wentian.
“If I don’t let you leave, can you leave?” Qin Wentian spoke arrogantly. “Since you want to enter the Heaven Vault so much, I will grant you your wish.”
Qin Wentian calmly spoke. After that, the wave of twisted space time flew into the sky. A slit opened up and Qin Cang was sent inside it. Qin Wentian believed that even a heavenly deity wouldn’t be able to breakfree from his twisted spacetime imbued with the power of the sealing laws.
“Wasn’t that a powerful heavenly deity character?” Many world overlords felt their hearts shaking. Today, the battle they had witnessed overturned all their knowledge. A powerful heavenly deity was actually as weak as an ant, captured so easily without any chance to fight back.
In truth, they had never seen this before because it was very rare for deity-level battles to erupt in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The implications of a deity-level battle was too great. The various powers all had trepidations in their hearts. However, between Qin Wentian and the Qin Clan, they were originally already mortal enemies. So, which party would have trepidation in using heavenly deities?
Back then in the Heaven Vault, the Qin Clan already forced Qin Wentian into the Gods Extinction Path. Hence, towards the heavenly deities of the Qin Clan, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t be polite. This was why the deity-level battle they saw today was different from their imaginations. To those peak characters of the peak powers, other than feeling shock at Qin Wentian’s strength, they didn’t feel too much of a surprise with regards to there being such a large disparity in power between heavenly deities.
But, wasn’t this Qin Wentian a little too monstrous?
He seemed to have effortlessly settled the two heavenly deities of the Qin Clan. Most probably, other than those few extremely strong heavenly deities in the Qin Clan, no other heavenly deities would be a match for Qin Wentian.
Was this the source of his confidence of why he dared to take everyone in the world as his enemy? He was so powerful that ordinary deities could only stare up at him in awe.
Qin Wentian still stood in the air space above the sea region. The ocean breeze gusted by, but the gazes of everyone staring at him had changed. They no longer felt Qin Wentian was arrogant or a fool that could easily be trampled on. At this moment, they truly realized that the fact that the fame of the arrogant and handsome-looking young man in the air could resound through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wasn’t a fluke. He had enough strength to depend on. He was currently writing his own legend.
There was no doubt that the future Qin Wentian would surely be able to leave behind a stroke in the history of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
Countless gazes stared at Qin Wentian, including those familiar with him. Goddess Nichang also didn’t expect that the young man who once almost sank into mara in the world of reincarnation, was actually so powerful now to this extent. No wonder he was the one who got chosen to enter the true legendary place. It was rumored that one could view heavenly fate there.
Qin Wentian was the focus of all the attention. His gaze was still as calm as water. He displayed his strength earlier because he wanted to shock everyone to prevent people from fishing in troubled waters. If they wanted to force him to open the Heaven Vault, they better be prepared.
A high enough level of strength was undoubtedly the best threat.
After that battle, the experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, other than those from the peak powers, definitely wouldn’t dare to provoke him. If not, they would simply be overestimating their strengths.
“Is there still anyone who wishes to threaten me? Please step forward now. I can consider it and might send you into the Heaven Vault as well.” Qin Wentian calmly smiled. Send them into Heaven Vault and suffer the same fate as Qin Cang?
If their strength wasn’t comparable to Qin Wentian, what could they do when they entered the Heaven Vault? They would only become the fish in the net of a fisherman and their fates would be in Qin Wentian’s control.
This time, everyone shut up. Those arrogant heavenly deities earlier also tactfully fell silent.
Given the situation now, ordinary heavenly deities would no longer dare to threaten Qin Wentian, that would truly be not knowing the immensity of the heavens and earth. Qin Wentian clearly wanted to depend on his advantage of the Heaven Vault to fight against the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. If he wasn’t strong enough, things were fine as he could be captured. But now, they all knew Qin Wentian’s strength was enough to destroy them. Who would still dare to easily step out? Did they feel that their lives are too long?
“Why? Wasn’t there many people threatening I, Qin, earlier? Now, why have you all fallen silent?” Qin Wentian mockingly laughed. After that, he waved his hand as a gap appeared in the sky. Within the gap of space, the Heaven Vault could be seen.
“Who wishes to enter?” Qin Wentian calmly asked. “Maybe, I won’t obstruct those who wish to enter.”
The Heaven Vault was now in plain sight. As long as someone wanted to, it seemed that they could simply enter it. Not long ago, all of them were in a frenzy due to it and wanted to enter. But now that the Heaven Vault appeared, no one dared to make any reckless moves. If they entered the Heaven Vault, how can they fight against Qin Wentian?
Wouldn’t Qin Wentian be able to do whatever he wanted to with them?
“No one?” Qin Wentian coldly smiled.
“Me.” At this moment, a voice drifted over. After that, a person stepped out. His clothes were simple, he stood there and his entire being was like a sharp sword. He stared at Qin Wentian and spoke, “If you are agreeable, I feel like entering the Heaven Vault to cultivate.”
Qin Wentian glanced at the person. He smiled, “Since senior is interested, this junior naturally welcomes you. Please feel free to enter.”
He had seen this person before. But this was the first time he had a conversation with him. This man in simple clothes was none other than Sword Monarch Jian Junlai.
Jian Junlai nodded lightly to Qin Wentian. After that, his figure flashed and transformed into a beam of sword light, directly entering Heaven Vault before the eyes of everyone.
“When I don’t allow people to enter, you guys wished to threaten me. But when I allow people to go in, no one dares to enter? How ridiculous.” Qin Wentian mockingly laughed. His figure flashed as he entered Heaven Vault as well. After he entered, the Heaven Vault closed once again.
Qin Wentain’s voice still echoed through the airspace above the sea region. The expressions of those people turned extremely ugly. After some time, some people spoke, “That’s right, Qin Wentian earlier already said that he might allow people to enter. Why didn’t I step out together with the Sword Monarch?”
“We missed an opportunity.” Lin Xiao clapped his hand to his forehead as he depressedly spoke. Who said that entering the Heaven Vault means becoming an enemy of Qin Wentian?
Earlier, Qin Wentian was only so domineering before people who had threatened him. But when he took the initiative to issue the invitation of entering, if it wasn’t for the hearts of these people being filled with doubts, most probably nothing would happen to them even if they entered the Heaven Vault. Could it be Qin Wentian would really kill everyone who entered the Heaven Vault?
After thinking about it, many people felt regret, as though they missed out on a heaven-sent opportunity. There were some who coldly snorted. Maybe Qin Wentian didn’t obstruct the person in simple clothes because that person was the Sword Monarch. Who could guarantee that Qin Wentian would really allow them to enter?
Truly, no one could be certain of that. When they thought of this, many people suddenly felt more relieved.
However, many of the experts gathered here felt as though they had been played by Qin Wentian. But even with so many experts, no one could do anything to Qin Wentian who was a newly ascended heavenly deity. When he opened the Heaven Vault, everyone didn’t dare to enter. What an irony.
…
After that battle in the boundless sea region, Qin Wentian’s name once again resounded through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The son of the past Qin Clan’s traitor Qin Yuanfeng, was already so strong to this extent, he even dared to publicly challenge the Qin Clan now and effortlessly dealt with two heavenly deities from the Qin Clan. One was deported by Qin Wentian into an unknown space. The other was trapped within the Heaven Vault.
After that, news circulated around the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Qin Wentian told the Qin Clan to bring the heavenly deity and ten world overlords of the Luoshen Clan imprisoned in the Qin Clan to come to him and exchange for the hostage.
After the Qin Clan received this news, they were shaking in anger.
Including Qin Li and Qin Cang, ever since the Heaven Vault opened, the Qin Clan has already lost a total of four heavenly deities. Two died in the Gods Extinction Path, one of them was killed by Qin Tiangang while the other died to the dangers of the dark void. And now, Qin Li was trapped in a sealed world while Qin Cang was captured by Qin Wentian.
Even though the Qin Clan was one of the top three peak powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and had several heavenly deities, the loss of four heavenly deities was enough to damage the foundation of the Qin Clan.
In addition, Qin Zhong who died before the opening of Heaven Vault hasn’t been counted into the list of casualties yet. In total, the Qin Clan has already lost five heavenly deities.
This was an irony because all five of the heavenly deities had one point in common. That point was Qin Wentian.
A person who was once disregarded by Qin Dangtian, the son of the Qin Clan’s traitor, has actually caused the powerful Qin Clan to lose face again and again. Unknowingly, there were already five heavenly deities who fell to Qin Wentian. How terrifying. Was this the steps of his revenge?
Boundless City once again attracted the attention of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Countless experts rushed there, including powerful heavenly deities from the peak powers. They were prepared to negotiate with Qin Wentian. Since Qin Wentian had allowed Sword Monarch Jian Junlai to enter, why couldn’t he allow them to?
…
But no matter how fierce the commotion raged in the outside world, it seemed as though the commotion had nothing to do with Qin Wentian. He was currently cultivating in the Heaven Vault. But naturally, there were people who were still communicating with him via voice transmissions.
“Ah, back then I could already see that you would become someone that can dominate the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. That was why I became friends with you and treated you to wine. Seems like my judgement is very precise, I can’t help but be impressed by myself. Brother Qin, now that your name is so famous, you wouldn’t forget the brothers who braved dangers with you in the past, right? The four of us are together now and are planning to throw in our lot with you.” The voice of Ten Miles Springwind rang out in Qin Wentian’s mind. Qin Wentian couldn’t help but smile, this Ten Miles Springwind was as shameless as ever.
“Bring some good wine over. But don’t blame me for not warning you guys. If you all enter Heaven Vault with the identity of being my friends, this news would be leaked sooner or later. In the future after you exit the vault…” Qin Wentian stated. Ten Miles Springwind naturally could understand this. Qin Wentian was the controller of the Heaven Vault, his friends naturally could enter and cultivate. But if this was made known, there might be extremely powerful heavenly deities acting against them in a bid to force Qin Wentian to open the Heaven Vault. Ten Miles Springwind understood all this.
“Can it be that we are not friends? Is our relationship not good enough to weather through this storm with you? Don’t tell me you are planning to forget our friendships now that you are a heavenly deity?” Ten Miles Springwind spoke with a straight face. Qin Wentian laughed. Since his friends wanted to come despite knowing all of this, he would naturally welcome them!
