The people below could only sigh in their hearts. Finally, he still learned the truth.
That person who came to convey the message was simply asking Qin Wentian to send himself to death. However, wasn?t he a little too foolish? Given how angry Qin Wentian would be, how would he spare him?
?I?m leaving.? Qin Wentian?s robes fluttered as he slowly spoke.
?Are you going to send yourself to death?? Nanfeng Yunxi?s silhouette flashed as she soared into the air, staring at Qin Wentian with her beautiful eyes as she spoke in a loud voice, ?Can it be that you still don?t understand Qing`er?s efforts? If you go like this, there?s no difference from courting death. Have you forgotten what Immortal King Jun Yi has said? If you die, Qing`er wouldn?t want to live alone in this world any longer.?
Qin Wentian?s body trembled. He stared at Nanfeng Yunxi. He naturally understood that she didn?t want anything to happen to him.
?From the news I received, junior sister was already prepared for death when she returned. However, after the Evergreen Immortal Emperor learned of it, he sealed her strength and imprisoned her. Regardless of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor or Qing`er, they didn?t send anyone to inform you. Clearly, both of them don?t hope that you would die.? A maiden from the Matriarch Ji?s sect spoke.
?Wentian gege.? Bai Qing walked over. Her crystal-like eyes looking at Qin Wentian.
All of them didn?t wish for Qin Wentian to send himself into death.
?Senior brother.? Jun Mengchen also spoke. Qin Wentian?s eyes turned over as he stared at everyone. He sighed silently as he spoke, ?There?s no need for you guys to persuade me. Qing`er is willing to die for me. Do you all want me to hide here forever and watch on as Qing`er takes on this calamity for me??
Qin Wentian smiled, his smile appearing somewhat bleak and desolate.
?I have decided.? Qin Wentian spoke in a voice so tough that it could sever iron, causing everyone to sigh softly.
?Qin Wentian, I won?t stop you from heading there. But if you head there like that, there?s no difference in sending yourself to death. At the very least, you should fight for a sliver of hope. And right now, the White Emperor has already broken through to the peak-stage of the emperor realm and destroyed the Skymist Immortal Empire, causing the other major powers of the eastern regions from acting directly. In addition, with the announcement made by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor that if the Evergreen Empire was destroyed and his enemies failed to kill him, he would act together with the White Emperor and take revenge on each of the major powers who attacked them. Undoubtedly, such words would cause trepidation in the hearts of all the major powers.?
Nanfeng Yunxi continued, ?Hence, in reality, many major powers aren?t really willing to war against the Evergreen Immortal Empire. They only want your life. As long as you send out a message saying that you would head over, but with the prerequisite that they don?t attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire or you would disappear forever, those powers definitely wouldn?t attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire before you appear. Why don?t you try to fight for this period of time to give you a chance to make some preparations??
The maidens from the Southern Phoenix Clan stared strangely at Nanfeng Yunxi. Her words seemed to have been thought of long ago. Most probably, she has always been worried that Qin Wentian would head to his death the moment he learned the truth.
?Yunxi, your words are right. However, what preparations can I make? The major powers involved now far surpassed those who participated in the adjudication battle back then. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect is far from sufficient to help. The Southern Phoenix Clan, Matriarch Ji?s sect, also have no way to participate in this.? Qin Wentian sighed. The danger level was too high. Who would be willing to fight for him, Qin Wentian?
At the very least, the him right now wasn?t qualified to rally supporters.
?How do you know what would happen if you don?t fight for more time? I will head back to the Southern Phoenix Clan and determine their attitude.? Nanfeng Yunxi spoke. She knew that hope was minimal and vague, but she was willing to give it a try.
?Qing`er is our junior apprentice sister, the disciple which master dotes on most. We will also see what our master plans to do.? An expert from the Matriarch Ji?s sect spoke. This war…although they were immortal kings, they wouldn?t be qualified to participate in it. It would be an emperor-ranked war. Only immortal emperors are powerful enough to participate.
?Senior brother, the strength of our Heavenly Talisman Realm is immeasurably deep, we can try asking help from there.? Jun Mengchen silently transmitted his voice to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian?s heart stirred, but he didn?t really have too much hope with regards to this. The members of the Heavenly Talisman Realm had an agreement before they joined. The Heavenly Talisman Realm wouldn?t force its members to do anything, but in return, they wouldn?t interfere and personally act for any member as they don?t wish to be exposed. He had no idea what the ultimate aim of the Heavenly Talisman Realm was. But at the very least, he didn?t have the capabilities to make the Heavenly Talisman Realm openly support him in full, revealing themselves before all the immortal emperors in the immortal realms.?
?Wentian gege, I will head back to the devil mountain to get reinforcements for you. Bujie will definitely help you as well.? Bai Qing spoke in a low voice.
?I?ll speak to that old fellow at the desolate mountain range.? Little Rascal?s voice was still as juvenile as ever, but his tone was extremely serious. The old fellow he was referring to, was naturally that powerful demon emperor, the nine-headed heaven devouring beast.
Qin Wentian glanced at his companions as currents of warmth flowed in his heart. Unknowingly, everyone was now already immortal kings. If they didn?t belong to various major powers, they might very well have already been the masters of some areas.
?Qin Wentian, just try it. At the very least, there?s a sliver of hope. If you don?t try, you will die for sure.? Nanfeng Yunxi?s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian.
Upon seeing her gaze, Qin Wentian solemnly nodded his head. ?Right, in that case, I will give myself three more months of time. You guys help me to convey my words to the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Tell them that I will head to the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire after three months to settle everything. If within the Evergreen Immortal Empire is attacked within these three months, I shall vanish forever, never to appear again.?
?Good.? Nanfeng Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief. She also knew that the hope was uncertain. But at the very least, he had to fight for it.
?See you guys three months later at the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.?
?Wentian gege.? Bai Qing clenched her fists. After that, she turned about and left. She was prepared to use her greatest speed to rush back to the devil mountain.
?Senior, I?ll head to the Heavenly Talisman realm to request aid from all the senior brothers.? Jun Mengchen transmitted his voice as he left as well. Everyone left one after another, but they weren?t abandoning Qin Wentian. On the contrary, they were helping him to fight for a chance of survival.
?Saint Lord, do you have a chance to break through to the immortal emperor realm?? The experts from the Battle Saint Tribe were still here. Qi Yu stared up in the air, looking at Qin Wentian. If Qin Wentian could break through to the emperor realm, he would have the chance to enter the highest-realm of their Battle Saint Tribe and gain the help of immortal emperors from the Battle Saint Tribe.
?How can it be so easy to break through to the emperor realm?? Qin Wentian sighed. He clenched his eyes tightly as his eyes flashed with killing intent. The reason for this calamity was because back then when he fought that supreme battle of the peak, an ethereal voice sounded out, exposing his identity. If not, in the future when he left the City of Ancient Emperors, the Saber-Sword Immortal King would vanish forever and none would be the wiser for it. There wouldn?t have been this calamity, and wouldn?t create such a huge commotion in the immortal realms.
That person who exposed his identity, he had to kill him for sure. It wouldn?t merely cause him to lose his life, it would also shake up the entire immortal realms.
Who was it exactly that had exposed his identity?
If he knew who it was, he would definitely make that person die a most miserable death.
Inclining his head, Qin Wentian?s eyes flashed with a terrifying coldness. Qing`er went out to take on this calamity for him. Luckily the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was decisive enough and because he doted on her too much, he spared no expense and was willing to wage a war.
At this very moment, numerous clouds suddenly blanketed the sky as a fearsome aura bore down on everything. Lightning and thunder rumbled about within the clouds, it was an extremely terrifying sight.
?Qin Wentian, come up here.? A voice drifted from the clouds. Qin Wentian?s eyes flashed as he looked up. Amidst the raging tempest, he saw that gigantic black dragon once more, spiralling about in the air.
With a flash of his silhouette, he soared right up into the sky, stepping into the middle of the tempest. He looked at that gigantic black dragon and asked, ?Senior, do you have anything you need my help with??
?Are you willing to follow me?? The black dragon spoke.
?To where?? Qin Wentian furrowed his brows.
?To that divine residence. The you now has the qualifications to take the authority scepter. I will bestow it to you.? The black dragon spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian?s eyes to flicker. He stared at the dragon, ?Didn?t senior say that because the rules of the city have changed, I have to contend against others before I can take the scepter??
?That?s right. But during these years, I have always been paying attention to the City of Ancient Emperors. You truly didn?t disappoint me, and can be considered as passing the test. Hence, I?m allowing you to take the scepter.? The black dragon continued confidently, ?As long as you obtain the authority scepter, even if many people in the immortal realms wish to kill you, they wouldn?t be able to do it. As long as you remain here in the City of Ancient Emperors, regardless of what cultivation realm you are, nobody can kill you. I can protect you from death.?
?What if I exit the City of Ancient Emperors?? Qin Wentian asked.
?I won?t interfere in matters outside the City of Ancient Emperors.? The black dragon replied.
?In that case, senior, this junior shall give up on obtaining the scepter.? Qin Wentian spoke. A cold light flashed in the black dragon?s eyes. ?Do you know what this authority scepter represents??
?Junior has no idea. It?s just that the calamity junior is going to face, may result in me dying. If this is the case, wouldn?t I have let down senior?s kind intentions and lose the scepter?? Qin Wentian calmly replied.
?For the sake of love?? The black dragon coldly snorted. ?This immortal realm is one that?s focused on the martial path. If you stand at the peak of the immortal realms one day, you can enjoy the love of countless beauties in the world. Are you really going to give up on the authority scepter for such a minor thing? Do you know what it indicates when the rules of the city changed? Do you know why the dao elements appeared? Do you know what it really means to hold the authority scepter??
?Junior is ignorant.? Qin Wentian replied.
?In this universe, there?s a total of thirty-three immortal realms. The dao elements came from the upper worlds, they are inheritances from supreme powers in the other immortal realms who are looking to accept disciples. Once one has comprehended a dao element and cultivated in it, they would be bound by the dao element and cannot selfishly leave this layer of the immortal realms. Once they defeat those who cultivate the same dao element as them and gain the recognition of the dao element, they can bypass the great void to reach the other immortal realms from the City of Ancient Emperors. They need not suffer the death tribulation that would occur from attempting to leave. If not, why do you think that so many elite and legendary geniuses of each era would come to the City of Ancient Emperors??
The black dragon spoke, causing Qin Wentian?s heart to tremble. He didn?t expect the origin of the dao elements to be so great. So this, is the true secret of the City of Ancient Emperors.
?You have yet to accept the inheritance of any dao element. Just as well, as long as you obtain this authority scepter, it means that you have no need to contend against any others for the dao elements and can directly enter the other immortal realms from the City of Ancient Emperors. As for what would happen in the future, I shall temporarily not tell you. Considering the fact that I?ve told you the secret, do you want the authority scepter now or not?? The black dragon stared at Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian stared at the huge saucer-like eyes of the black dragon. He was still as calm as ever as he replied, ?This junior knows that I will face a death calamity very soon. I don?t dare to waste time and accept the inheritance. I can only disappoint senior?s wishes.?
?Insufferable and idiotic.? The black dragon snarled in rage as a terrifying aura gushed forth from him. Bolts of lightning flashed around Qin Wentian. It was as though as long as the black dragon willed it, Qin Wentian would die here.
?In that case, fine. I really want to see how can you stand amidst these tumultuous waves if you don?t accept the inheritance.? The black dragon roared. After that, a powerful wind blew the clouds away as the raging tempest in the air dissipated, causing the atmosphere to return to its previous calm.
Qin Wentian was still incomparably calm. He once wanted the authority scepter, but the black dragon went back on his words. He had already determined to forsake this inheritance then. Let alone now that he was fully focused on Qing`er, he naturally wouldn?t bother about an inheritance that might bind him to some unknown restrictions!
