The old freak had a deep smile on his face when he heard that. “Are you sure you want to go? Let me remind you, even if your strength recovered to your past level, or even if you broke through to the immortal emperor realm, there would still be too many supreme characters who can kill you in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Other than the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, the other thirty-one immortal realms are extremely powerful as well. Their strength level is surely higher than the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Don’t you want to consider about going there instead?”
Qin Wentian glanced at the smile in the narrowed eyes of the old man as he spoke with resolve, “There’s no need to consider any further. Send me to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.”
Right now, he wasn’t so easily frightened. Although the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were the hegemon of all other immortal realms, although there were many people there who could kill him, the stronger an immortal realms were, the more people there would be. For every peak character, there would be countless people who had lower cultivations. Even for the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, unless one has already climbed to the very peak, although an immortal emperor might not be a hegemon just like here in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, that immortal emperor couldn’t be considered a weakling.
“You’ve got guts. In that case, go and focus on your cultivation and regain some of your strength first. In any case, you are completely ignorant about the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. If you go just like this, even an ant can crush you to death.” That old freak laughed. This was the truth. At the very least, he can’t head over there now immediately.
“I really want to see what law-attribute astral souls you would want to condense.” The crazy old freak’s silhouette flashed as he directly vanished after speaking. Qin Wentian simply couldn’t track his movements, it was too fast.
“Astral soul?” Qin Wentian mumbled as he stared at the sky.
The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was actually an immortal realm sealed away, with experts from the other immortal realms being forbidden entry. Back then, was it because of this reason that his father chose this place to start his second life?
Because the power of his clan was too strong. He had no choice but to intentionally hide in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms and a particle world near here. Also, after he was born, they were still extremely cautious, not daring to show their face. Uncle Black and the others were the same as well.
Qin Wentian suddenly remembered that his current body no longer had his original bloodlines.
If he still had his original body, in the future in the Upper World, when his bloodline powers flared up, would the supreme characters there recognize it?
And now, he wouldn’t have any trouble regarding this. Was this all just a coincidence?
Closing his eyes, he increased his focus and sent his perception up in the air, bypassing the heavenly layers, climbing all the way to the 8th layer. His target was very clear. He directly chose an astral soul whose law-attributes he was familiar with. This astral soul contained dual-law attributes, one of the devil-path energy, and the other was undying energy.
When the astral soul was condensed, a tyrannical might radiated forth from his body. A devil king phantom appeared, Qin Wentian was just like a fearsome devil-path cultivator. Although his cultivation base was still at the lowest cultivation realm, the might he exuded would definitely shock the hearts of people, giving off an extremely oppressive feeling.
Originally, this was supposed to his seventh astral-soul of his original body. But now, it was his first astral soul instead. The difference of power between this comparison, was simply inconceivable to imagine.
As to why he chose this as his first astral soul, the main reasons are because of the Myriad Devil Sovereign’s inheritance as well as the astral soul also contained the undying law-attribute. His soul cultivated the Undying Scripture and his body had the undying characteristics. It would naturally be of great help to him if his astral soul could match this.
Terrifying rumbling sounds rang out, Qin Wentian continued his cultivation.
In the blink of an eye, three years had already passed.
After these three years, Qin Wentian’s aura underwent a huge chance. He was more similar to the him of the past, his eyes shone brightly with spirit, and his appearance was incomparably good-looking.
Right now, his current cultivation base was at the immortal-foundation realm.
Such cultivation speed was simply unfathomable and shocking to the extreme. However, given how strong his soul is now due to cultivating the Undying Scripture, in addition to the high-grade astral energy from the astral souls he condensed from the 8th heavenly-layer, his foundation was incomparably solid. Qin Wentian didn’t feel strange for his cultivation to achieve such speed.
In addition, if it wasn’t for him choosing different astral souls and different innate techniques, needing him to gain new comprehensions and insights, his cultivation speed might have been even faster.
A figure silently appeared before Qin Wentian. “Given your current soul strength and your immortal-foundation cultivation base, you should be able to handle some simple things. You can head to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms now.”
“I will listen to senior’s arrangements. It’s just that I still have some things I need to do here.” Qin Wentian nodded. To this crazy old freak, Qin Wentian’s heart was truly filled with nothing but heartfelt gratitude.
“You want to let your wives know that you are still alive?” The old freak understood Qin Wentian very well and could instantly guess his thoughts. “Don’t worry, I will get a person to go and accomplish this for you.”
Qin Wentian was a little bewildered but he still eventually agreed.
…
Right now in the emperor-dimension of the City of Ancient Emperors, Beiming Youhuang sat down in a desolate area and was quietly cultivating. She didn’t choose to inherit the energy of the dao elements. Although her talent was extraordinary, she was still an initial-stage immortal emperor after all. In this chaotic era where the heavens belong to the peak-stage immortal emperors, she wasn’t that famous and her emperor’s fate wasn’t very much either. Although she gained some insights regarding the dao elements, she didn’t choose to cultivate any of them.
“Little doll, come out.” A voice rang out in her mind, causing her heart to tremble. Her beautiful eyes opened, flashing with sharpness. Only a single person dared to address her in this manner.
With a flash of her silhouette, Beiming Youhuang exited the City of Ancient Emperors with no hesitation and rushed back to the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. In fact, she didn’t even head to the royal palace first but directly moved towards the forbidden grounds in the Darknorth Mountains.
“I’m here.” Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes flickered with a wilful light. Although she’s already an immortal emperor, no matter how radiant her achievements are, she still felt like a small girl before this old man. This was simply something inconceivable.
A sloppy figure soon appeared in front of her eyes. His gaze was blocked by his filthy long hair, and was a little cloudy. He then spoke, “In the past, when you asked me to save the little brat, I didn’t do so. Do you hate me for it?”
Beiming Youhuang started, she didn’t expect the crazy old man to bring this up all of a sudden. Although she would never admit to it, but maybe she felt a little unhappy and resentment that the old man didn’t save Qin Wentian.
“This has nothing to do with you.” Beiming Youhuang shook her head. She sighed silently, feeling a little sorrow as she recalled the scenes in the past.
“In that case, did you really wish from the bottom of your heart for me to save him back then?” The old man’s muddy eyes suddenly turned clear as he smiled at Beiming Youhuang.
Beiming Youhuang started again. She then replied, “If you asked me to come here just for that matter, I will be leaving first.”
As she spoke, she really turned around, preparing to leave.
“What if I tell you I can still save him even now?” The old man spoke, his words causing Beiming Youhuang to turn stiff as her heart pounded violently. After that, she slowly turned back and faced him, “Really?”
“When have I ever lied to you?” The crazy old man unhappily stated. “I just need to waste a little strength and couldn’t be bothered to do so.”
“Senior, no matter what, he is considered your successor. Do you really want to watch him die without saving him?” Beiming Youhuang stared at the old man as she implored. If others said such a thing, she wouldn’t believe them. However, she truly believed this old man could save Qin Wentian if he wanted to.
“What do you mean by my successor? I just granted him a random cultivation art, but I can also give this art to others. In any case, aren’t you very unhappy with him? I’m looking for you to see if there’s anyone you know with outstanding talent and more importantly, that person is someone you like. I’m prepared to grant this new person the same cultivation art as well.” The old man spoke.
Beiming Youhuang stared at the crazy old man as she thought back to that frantic war. That magnificent figure that killed three immortal emperors and for some reason… his smile before his death. She bowed and replied, “Regardless of how vast the immortal realms are, there’s no one more suitable to inherit your cultivation arts than him. Senior, please lend a helping hand and save him.”
“Oh?” The old man hesitated. Beiming Youhuang nervously observed him but after a moment, the old man shook his head again. “This won’t do. His soul is fragmented and has almost completely dispersed. If I want to save him, the price I need to pay won’t be small. Also, since you have no feelings towards him, why should I waste the time and effort?”
Beiming Youhuang’s heart trembled. She bit her lips and said softly, “I do have feelings towards him.”
“Oh?” The old man narrowed his eyes and laughed, staring at Beiming Youhuang. Beiming Youhuang’s countenance was tender and beautiful, like a freshly bloomed flower. But after she said those words, her state of heart soon returned to her original calmness.
“Alright, alright. Fortunately, I didn’t waste my effort.” The crazy old man sighed. With a wave of his hand, he brought Beiming Youhuang into the ancient ruins. A moment later, when Beiming Youhuang saw the figure sitting cross-legged in cultivation before her, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.
Qin Wentian was also stunned. After that, he nodded to Beiming Youhuang. He should have guessed it was her when the old man said he would ask someone to help.
“Old bastard…” Beiming Youhuang coldly looked at the crazed old freak, clearly knowing that she was played.
“What did you call me?” The old man frowned, staring at Beiming Youhuang. “What did you tell me before this? Hey brat, you are really lucky with the ladies.”
Beiming Youhuang’s eyes widened. She was an immortal emperor but she was shamed so badly now that a blush colored her cheeks red. “Senior, junior said the wrong thing earlier. I know my mistake now.”
“Oh?” The crazy old man laughed. He then turned to Qin Wentian and glanced to Beiming Youhuang again. That smile seemed to contain a deep meaning behind it.
Qin Wentian was completely bewildered. He blinked his eyes and stared at Beiming Youhuang’s face that was painted with shyness. But very soon after that, Beiming Youhuang recovered and coldly glanced at Qin Wentian, reverting back to an ice mountain. “What are you looking at?”
“Eh…” Qin Wentian had a face full of black lines. He wanted to argue but when he thought of the fact that he needed a favor from her, he suppressed himself and replied, “Princess Youhuang, we are really fated. Now, I have a small favor to ask from you, can you please not reject it?”
“What is it?” Beiming Youhuang asked.
“Princess, can you please make a trip to the Evergreen Immortal Empire for me? I need you to meet with my wives.” Qin Wentian spoke. Beiming Youhuang initially wanted to reject but she suddenly recalled that scene years ago, the headful of white hair on Qing`er’s head and that grey look of dead ashes in Mo Qingcheng’s eyes. Her heart trembled, she couldn’t bear to reject him. She eventually nodded, but her voice was still as cold as ever. “Fine, I’ll go on this trip for you.”
The old freak laughed when he saw this scene, as though his scheme had succeeded. This time around, the trip to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, he wasn’t at ease for Qin Wentian to head there alone. Now that he’s seen Beiming Youhuang’s attitude, he felt more relaxed. It has been countless years, it wasn’t an easy task to find two good seedlings like them!
