Chapter 1098: Skymist Immortal Empire
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Thousand Transformations Army seized Han City. Those experts from the Eastern Sage Army either died or have already fled. The troops remaining in Han City basically couldn’t withstand the onslaught at all. For the Thousand Transformations Army, all of them let out roars of wildness and excitement, celebrating this unprecedented historic victory.
They actually succeeded in seizing Han City, and breaking the army of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This was something they had never thought possible in the past. It was already very good if they could secure their hold on Yuan City.
In the air, a terrifying might bore down. After which, beams of light flashed as those immortal kings warring against each other previously appeared. Their auras were all fluctuating, even the two commanders of the armies, Dream Demon King and General Ox, had suffered injuries from their battle. General Ox’s robes were all torn and tattered. That bronze skin of his filled with explosive strength, was displayed out in the open for all to view.
“Beautifully executed.” General Ox praised when he saw the situation below. He only had a strand of hope but he didn’t really expect Qin Wentian to be able to succeed.
The Dream Demon King turned ashen. They failed to defeat their opponents in the immortal king-level battle and as for the immortal-foundation battle, they actually lost so badly. How could he still answer to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor?
“Dream Demon King, this Han City belongs to me now. You guys can scram back to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.” General Ox spoke. The Dream Demon King wanted nothing more than to massacre the immortal-foundation army of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. However, he was bound by the silent rules of the immortal realms and he didn’t dare to break them casually. Unless the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor gave the order, he couldn’t make a decision of that magnitude by himself. Once he broke the rules, it was equivalent to the immortal-foundation of his Eastern Sage Army being exterminated by the enemy immortal kings as well.
“Retreat!” The Dream Demon King gave the order. His silhouette flashed as he departed the area. By departing, this indicated that Han City already belongs to the Thousand Transformations Sect. In fact, they could even extend their authority and take over the Jing Prefecture.
However, the Jing Prefecture was too vast. When in a war, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord didn’t have any spare resources to govern the place. If he tried to do so, it may backfire on him. Unless one day, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect no longer exists. He would succeed only then.
“This grand victory came at the right time.” General Ox stared at the people below as he spoke. “Return to Yuan City, rewards will be given based on your individual merit.”
“YES GENERAL!” Everyone bowed, the atmosphere was filled with joy. General Ox didn’t choose to occupy Han City but rather, to return back to Yuan City instead.
The army returned victorious, those elites all stood at the forefront, basking in looks of admirations from the public. However, all those in the army knew who the one responsible for the victory was!
Ye Qing stared at the soldiers but she couldn’t find Qin Wentian’s silhouette anywhere. She then mumbled in a low voice, “Qin…Wen…Tian!”
His name wasn’t Tianwen but was instead Qin Wentian. It’s rumored that he was the personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord himself.
After this great victory, the Yuan City didn’t let their guard down. The Thousand Transformations Army continued recruiting and when news of their victory circulated through all the main cities of the Thunder Prefecture, there were in fact many immortal-foundation experts coming of their own volition to join the army. However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Army similarly recruited more people and would launch more attacks with the Yuan River as the boundary, starting a war of attrition. But of course, this was something that happened later in the future.
Within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian led a group of experts back, causing quite a huge deal of commotion. After all when Qin Wentian headed over to the battlefield, there were only a few comrades by his side. Right now, the numbers of his comrades actually increased. This naturally caused many to feel puzzled.
After returning to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian met the White-Robed Immortal King Bai Wuya.
Currently, Bai Wuya was responsible for commanding the entire army to fight against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. His authority within the sect was clearly extremely high. Many people from the thirteen prefectures were all discussing why the once independent hero Bai Wuya would actually choose to join the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. This matter caused a great deal of commotion among the immortal kings of the thirteen prefectures.
Many people didn’t understand Bai Wuya’s decision. After all, many immortal kings were old monsters who lived for countless years and all knew that when two emperors were fighting, the best thing they could do was to stay on the sidelines. It was risky no matter who you joined. They guessed that maybe, Bai Wuya was very ambitious for power, wanting control over a certain region. Maybe now that he was helping out the Thousand Transformations Immortal Emperor in the war, when in the future after he stepped into the immortal emperor realm, he would rule as equals with the Emperor Lord, becoming the hegemon of a region in the vast immortal realms.
Naturally, there were people who also guessed that the White-Robed Immortal King Bai Wuya was using this as an exercise to temper himself. He chose to assist the weaker Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord in order to prove his strength and potential, growing stronger and stronger from facing a more powerful enemy.
Qin Wentian hasn’t arrived but a white-robed silhouette already appeared in front of him. “You only went to the battlefield for two years and have already returned?”
“My identity was exposed. If I continued to remain there, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect might break the rules and send out an immortal king to hunt me, an immortal-foundation expert down.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Mhm,” Bai Wuya nodded. He took a glance at the people behind Qin Wentian. Although those people were similarly at the immortal-foundation level, they exuded an extraordinary aura.
Both Qin Wentian and Bai Wuya on the surface were members of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. When he returned, he chose to come to Bai Wuya’s side instead of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord because he had another purpose. He had to hide the true identities of these people from the Battle Saint Tribe from everyone. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord should know that he belongs to the same major power as Bai Wuya. Hence, if the Emperor Lord saw him and these people heading over to Bai Wuya’s, he would assume that they are all from the same hidden major power – the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Hence, he wouldn’t ask too many questions.
“Senior brother, these are all people from Ancient Emperor Yi’s sect but they have chosen to follow me now. I can’t explain the full story to you as this concerns the secret kept by Emperor Yi…” Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to Bai Wuya.
Bai Wuya naturally understood Qin Wentian’s meaning. He replied, “I will protect this secret for you. Don’t worry about the Emperor Lord, it’s fine if they misunderstand. As for those people not from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, they would too have the same misunderstanding.”
Qin Wentian smiled. In the immortal realms, his relationship with Bai Wuya was considered extremely close, much closer compared to him and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He had already encountered Bai Wuya back when he was still in his particle world and after he arrived in the immortal realms, Bai Wuya was the one who brought him to the Heavenly Talisman Realm where they became apprentice brothers. He naturally trusted Bai Wuya a lot.
He also understood what Bai Wuya was trying to say. As long as Bai Wuya was willing to keep this secret for him. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord would assume these people were from the same major power as Qin Wentian and Bai Wuya and for those not of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, would assume these people are part of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Recently, many people with extraordinary auras appeared in the Thousand Transformations Sect. It wasn’t strange for thirty plus juniors at the immortal-foundation realm to appear as well. It was enough that Bai Wuya alone understood. It didn’t matter if others misunderstand.
“What are your plans now?” Bai Wuya asked again. “Initially, I didn’t plan for you to join the battlefield this early. This war will last a long time, I wanted to wait for you to reach the immortal king realm first. At that time, you would become a critical force we can employ in the war.”
“In that case, let me cultivate for a period of time first then.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“As it should be.” Bai Wuya nodded.
Qin Wentian bid farewell and went to the place where he resided. On the way there, he encountered Lin Xian`er. She was as charming as ever, projecting an aura of a fragile beauty. What a beautiful creature.
“Sir Qin, you are back.” Lin Xian`er smiled as she walked over.
“Mhm, Xian`er didn’t you go out and tour the streets?” Qin Wentian smiled back.
“I do do that occasionally, but I discovered my strength is a little weak and there are many times whereby…” Lin Xian`er lowered her head as she continued, “Nevermind, Xian`er will work hard to improve my cultivation.”
“That’s good to hear.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded.
“Oh ya, does Sir Qin require a maid? Xian`er is willing to follow you.” Lin Xian`er’s eyes were like silk, her voice gentle as water. The look in her soulful eyes were extremely mesmerizing, Qin Wentian hurriedly shook his head, “Xian`er, don’t pull a prank on me. How would I dare to treat you as a maid?”
“But Xian`er is really willing.” Lin Xian`er stared at him. Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly, “Xian`er you go and tour the streets on your own, I need to return first.”
After saying that he directly slipped away. Lin Xian`er stared at Qin Wentian’s departing back as she smiled sweetly, but there was a look of reminiscence and regret in her eyes. Back then in her particle world, memories of their interactions surfaced in her mind. How good would it be if she had known him first before Mo Qingcheng.
Qin Wentian arranged living quarters for those from the Battle Saint Tribe. The talent of these people were extraordinary and were all innate warriors from birth. They would be his greatest support in the future. With regards to talent, all of these people had the qualifications to join the Heavenly Talisman Realm. It was just that Qin Wentian had no intentions to let people from the Battle Saint Tribe join the Heavenly Talisman Realm. The power wielded by the Heavenly Talisman Realm was simply too vast and mysterious but he couldn’t request them to aid him in all endeavours. On the contrary, the Battle Saint Tribe was considered a power that belonged to him alone.
After finishing up on all the administration, Qin Wentian then returned home. However, he didn’t see Mo Qingcheng. He then walked to the cultivation grounds instead and saw Mo Qingcheng closing her eyes in cultivation with a heart free of all distractions. Even in cultivation, she was so beautiful and exuded a sense of tranquility.
After Qin Wentian brought Mo Qingcheng into the treasured cauldron to be baptized by the Sacred Luminance, she began putting plenty of effort into her cultivation. Although the experience was tough, her cultivation level upgrade was considered very fast. After all, she was currently still in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and it was easy to advance to the next level. Compared to Immortal Foundation, one would need many years just to advance to the next level. In fact to many immortals, they would find it hard to break through to the next level even if you gave them a hundred or a thousand years.
Qin Wentian only managed to use a few years of time to step into the second level because he has a perfect saint-grade immortal foundation and his base foundation at the first level was incomparably stable.
He found a spot in the cultivation grounds and sat there quietly, waiting patiently until Mo Qingcheng finished her cultivation. Several days later, Mo Qingcheng’s aura fluctuated and only then did she open her beautiful eyes. She saw Qin Wentian the moment she opened her eyes and with a sweet smile, she asked, “Why didn’t you alert me when you arrived.”
“You are too beautiful to look at, I was reluctant to disturb you.” Qin Wentian stood up and laughed.
“What a glib tongue. Did you pick up many stray flowers out there?” A mischievous smile appeared on her face as Mo Qingcheng walked towards Qin Wentian.
“I just came back from the battlefield, what do you mean by picking up flowers outside.” Qin Wentian smiled bitterly.
“How would I not know of your capabilities?” Mo Qingcheng gently smiled.
“What do you know?” Qin Wentian caught hold of her arm and pulled her close to him. This caused Mo Qingcheng to give a small scream of surprise but there was a smile of blessed happiness on her face.
“I will show you what my capabilities are.” Qin Wentian carried Mo Qingcheng and walked into the room. The two of them laughed and played on the way in an extremely loving manner.
However Qin Wentian didn’t know that right now, in a place far far away from where he was, there was currently a colossus army from a hegemonic existence – the Skymist Immortal Empire – was heading towards the Evergreen Immortal Empire!
