Chapter 1024: Putting Away the Ancient Weaponized City
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Driftsnow City was one of the three main cities of Jiangling Country. Back then, the Cloud Prefecture was governed by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. After the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect took over, the new city lord of Driftsnow City was naturally replaced by someone from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
Within Driftsnow City, there was an ancient version of it created by the ancient Driftsnow Master. The scenery there was extremely beautiful, and many experts stopped by to admire the scenery and sigh with sorrow when they heard the story.
The people in Driftsnow City had gradually forgot about the legend. With Qin Wentian’s appearance, Driftsnow City came to life once more. It gathered its energy and shot a beam of destruction that completely destroyed a holy ground in the Cloud Prefecture—the Jiang Clan. This incident shocked the entire Cloud Prefecture, and it quickly ignited interest in the legendary story of the Ancient Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade again. The people circulated the story, drawing more and more experts to this place, all of whom wanted to see the ancient weaponized city for themselves.
At this moment in the city, many stared at the Nine Immortality Bells. It had been a long time since the bells had chimed. Pei Yu was currently sitting before the bells and seemed to be in a state of deep slumber. Many people silently sighed—this young woman was too determined in her ways, falling in love with an ancient. Her entire clan had already been relocated, but Pei Yu still chose to remain in the city.
—BOOM!— At this moment, the long-unsounded bells suddenly chimed once again. Pei Yu opened her eyes as a marvelous energy enveloped the area. Snowflakes started to fall from the sky, creating an incredibly beautiful sight.
“When the ancient bells chimes, the Driftsnow Master longs for Immortal Jade once again?” Everyone stretched their hand out, catching the drifting snowflakes and watched them melt in their palms. The soul of the Driftsnow Master would exist for all eternity in his longing for Immortal Jade. Whenever he missed her, his tears would transform into the snowflakes drifting about in the air.
Pei Yu opened her eyes and stared at the drifting snow that covered the sky. Turning around, a radiant smile appeared on her face. “Are you awake? Looks like you’re starting to miss Immortal Jade again. How blessed she is to have someone like you.”
“Ai…” The sound of a sigh rang out. Pei Yu’s eyes gleamed as she continued, “Driftsnow Master, is this really you? Can you hear my words?”
“Pei Yu, why must you deceive yourself. I’m an ancient and have long passed on from this world. You, who are still alive, why must you waste your emotions on someone who is already dead? It really breaks my heart to see this.”
Pei Yu’s expression changed. “But I’m willing to accompany you.”
“I am not willing to see you wasting your life. It’s an exceptionally foolish act. People like you without a path of their own, who can’t even live for their own sake—how are you even qualified to love others? Your love is a heavy burden, and it won’t win you any respect,” a heavy-sounding voice rang out. Pei Yu felt her entire body trembling as tears fell from her face.
“Leave here and pursue your own life. If you continue to stay, I will only look down on you.”
Was this really what he thought about her?
After crying for some time, Pei Yu finally stopped. She glanced at the snowflakes and said, “Okay, I will leave. What you said is correct, and I should go pursue my own life. Please take care, okay…?”
After that, Pei Yu turned and walked into the distance, determined to leave. Not long after, her figure completely vanished from sight.
Everyone stared at her departing silhouette as they sighed in their hearts. Did the soul of the Driftsnow Master awaken once again?
The snowflakes were still drifting about, dancing in the air. At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and descended from the sky.
“Who is that?” The crowd was stunned. Could it be that this man was the one Pei Yu had conversed with? Had he pretended to be the Driftsnow Master?
“Qin Wentian, he’s Qin Wentian.” Someone recognized him, and their eyes flashed sharply. Back then, the ancient Driftsnow City had come to life when the Driftsnow Master appeared once more—and it was all because of this man. To think that he’d finally come back to Driftsnow City.
Qin Wentian stood atop the Nine Immortality Bells, staring at Pei Yu’s departing silhouette as he spoke in a low voice, “Pei Yu, I hope you won’t blame me.”
Qin Wentian didn’t wish for Pei Yu to waste her life in this place, spending her youth accompanying an illusory person.
“Everyone, please leave this place,” Qin Wentian announced. Those who didn’t know him laughed coldly, “Who do you think you are, telling us to leave here?”
Qin Wentian glanced at the person who’d spoken. He then closed his eyes and released immortal might and in an instant, the Nine Immortality Bells rang out thunderously, shaking the hearts of the people.
“SCRAM!” Amidst the fearsome clanging of the bells, a voice echoed clearly in the air. And like a bolt of thunder from the clear skies, it blasted into the mind of that person. That man coughed out a mouthful of blood as his countenance paled. His heart was trembling as he stared at Qin Wentian in disbelief. This man could actually connect to the Nine Immortality Bells?
He was Qin Wentian!
When he recalled the rumors of the past, he finally understood that this young man before him was none other than Qin Wentian—the same Qin Wentian who had broken through to immortality and forged an immortal-ranked weapon when he was still a low-level ascendant!
—BOOM BOOM BOOM!— The bells rang unceasingly; the world was a stretch of white. The snowflakes drifted beautifully in the sky as the large ancient city trembled and started to rise up in the air. The people inside hurriedly evacuated the city.
Qin Wentian’s immortal sense entered the bells, connecting with them. He saw the entirety of Driftsnow City from a bird’s eye view, and from that position he could see that the city resembled the form of a human. It was none other than the Driftsnow Master’s silhouette; he’d used himself to refine this city, melding his soul, his essence, and his very his life into its walls, all for Immortal Jade.
—RUMBLE!— All of Driftsnow City started to shake as Qin Wentian unleashed his immortal sense to its maximum limits. It felt like he was about to transform into a city, and he was enduring a terrifying pressure. Qin Wentian’s figure appeared within the dimension of the Nine Immortality Bells.
“RISE!” With a roar, the vast ancient city started rising up off the ground. As he lifted both his hands, the city was also lifted up by the motion. The spectators all stared in disbelief; the ancient Driftsnow City was a mobile one.
The sounds of the bells echoed endlessly in the air. Qin Wentian’s figure soared higher and higher together with the ancient weaponized city. The Nine Immortality Bells converged into one, its light shrouding Qin Wentian and the city. At that moment, the Nine Immortality Bells transformed into a grand immortal bell, radiating boundless power.
“The Nine Immortality Bells are the soul of Driftsnow City.” Qin Wentian’s heart was as clear as a mirror; he understood this fact.
“The Driftsnow Master’s capability in forging weapons can truly be said to be exceedingly great in all aspects.” Qin Wentian was filled with admiration. The ancient bell radiated boundless light, enveloping the entire city. Driftsnow City cast its shadow into the bells before suddenly disappearing from sight. In a separate dimension within the grand bell, a city appeared.
Qin Wentian shrunk the ancient bell and held it in his hand. He floated up into the air and prepared to enter the bell.
Suddenly, a figure pacing about could be seen from afar. It was actually none other than Pei Yu. She inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian in the air.
“It’s you,” Pei Yu mumbled.
“It’s me.” Qin Wentian nodded. “Pei Yu, live your own life. It’s better not to be lost in fantasy. Starting from today, the ancient Driftsnow Master is of the past. I am the new Driftsnow Master.”
Pei Yu’s beautiful eyes stared at the air. Yes, that’s right. Qin Wentian now fully controlled Driftsnow City. He was the true successor of the Driftsnow Master.
“Pei Yu, take care,” said Qin Wentian. After that, he vanished, stepping into Driftsnow City.
…
Around the same time Qin Wentian arrived at Driftsnow City, the people from the Battle Sword Sect arrived at the King Manor of Jiangling Country. They had arrived after following Qin Wentian’s instructions. However, the guards of the manor obstructed them, and as they looked at the majestic immortal manor of the country’s king, the people from the Battle Sword Sect couldn’t help but feel a form of invisible pressure.
“Who are you all?” one of the guards asked.
“We were asked by Qin Wentian to come here to look for the King of Jiangling Country,” explained the old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect as he walked to the front. The guard’s eyes flickered, sweeping across everyone present. “Everyone, please wait for a moment. I shall pass on the news.”
“Okay.” The old ancestor nodded, not daring to voice out his thoughts. Over here, even an ordinary guard was more powerful than him.
Not too long later, an imposing-looking expert led several people over. This imposing middle-aged man was none other than Jiangling Country’s current king. He glanced at the Battle Sword Sect and asked, “And you guys are?”
He realized that their strength could be considered pretty weak, so uttering a lie would be the equivalent of them courting death.
“We are from the same sect as Qin Wentian back when he was still in our particle world. The sect leader is an old man like me, and I apologize for disturbing Senior. Qin Wentian asked us to come here to look for the Jiangling King. He said that the king would bring us to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. He gave us a strand of his immortal sense, and he has a matter of extreme importance to relay to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect,” said the old ancestor in a low voice. This middle-aged man in front of him was simply stronger compared to him.
Upon hearing these words, the Jiangling King knew that their story was probably true. He then said politely, “So it’s Young Lord Qin’s sect members. Old mister, please come in. Someone go and set up a banquet immediately to welcome the members of Young Lord Qin’s sect.”
After that, he personally stepped forward, relaxing his stance and was preparing to lead the Battle Sword Sect inside himself.
“Senior, there’s no need to be this polite.” The old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect was completely taken aback. The other members of the Battle Sword Sect glanced at each other in confusion, feeling increasingly perplexed in their hearts.
The Jiangling King had also addressed Qin Wentian as Young Lord Qin. This was simply too shocking. What status did Qin Wentian have exactly?
“As Young Lord Qin’s elder, this is indeed necessary. Everyone, please don’t stand on ceremony and come inside.” The Jiangling King wasn’t putting on airs at all. The old ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect proceeded forward with trepidation, “Qin Wentian wanted us to quickly head over to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Senior, there’s no need to prepare a banquet to welcome us…”
The Jiangling King contemplated for a moment before he nodded, “No problem, the matters of Young Lord Qin are naturally more important. Let us head out this instant.”
“Mhm, let’s go.” The old ancestor nodded. After that, the Jiangling King personally led them towards the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect in the Cloud Prefecture.
Within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, there were numerous immortal palaces, and the atmosphere was charged with immortal qi. All the normal guards were immortals, and those from the Battle Sword Sect felt their hearts pounding rapidly at the sight. All the immortal foundation experts they met along the way were incomparably polite to them. One must know that these people were all terrifying experts that could kill them their group with a single smack.
In addition, everyone from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect addressed Qin Wentian in the same way—Young Lord Qin.
At this moment, Ye Lingshuang radiated an immortal light as Qin Wentian’s immortal sense activated, causing his figure to materialize.
“Wentian!” Ye Lingshuang called out.
“There are some troublesome matters that I must take care of back in our particle world. I’m going to see the Emperor Lord now. Sis, you, old ancestor and the rest of the Battle Sword Sect should stay here for the time being,” said Qin Wentian. He then led the people of the Battle Sword Sect forward and when the guards within the sect saw him, they instantly stopped to salute before bowing. “Young Lord Qin!”
Qin Wentian nodded lightly, passing through them directly in the center of their ranks. The Battle Sword Sect followed closely behind Qin Wentian— right now, the amount of shock in their hearts had already reached the same level as a raging tsunami wave that couldn’t be calmed!
