The grand wedding of the Heaven Empyrean was paid attention to by the rest of the world.
Today, it was a universal celebration. The atmosphere in Heaven Empyrean City was extremely lively. The hundred people that obtained the high-grade emperor-ranked weapons were all incomparably excited, and as for those who didn’t manage to obtain one, they were all meditating on the energy fluctuations of the emperor-ranked stones around the city as it was able to aid them in their comprehension of various law-related insights with regards to their cultivation.
Also, the general situation of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was officially set today. The various major powers were named to be in charged of the various regions and their bases were in Heaven Empyrean City, with Heaven Empyrean City becoming the true core of the entire Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.
This piece of news swiftly circulated through the various corners of the immortal realms. Even countless years later, the grand wedding of the Heaven Empyrean was still discussed enthusiastically. As for those who had personally seen this legendary figure before, everytime a discussion was brought up, they would be incomparably excited, their eyes blazing with a fanatical expression.
Today was one of the most perfect days in Qin Wentian’s life. All his friends and family were by his side. And during the night, he shared the bed with the two women he loved most. However, he didn’t have any thoughts when he did so. He merely hugged Qing`er and Qingcheng tightly, enjoying this hard-to-come-by moment. He discovered that after both of them fell asleep, traces of tears could still be seen from the corners of their eyes.
As for the Qin Manor, Mo Residence and Qin Wentian’s good friends, they couldn’t sleep at all today. The magnificent scenes of the wedding kept replaying in their minds, as well as the scene of respect shown by every one in the immortal realms. That scene deeply etched itself into the depths of their souls, branding it into their minds.
It was only after several days later that the crowd gradually started to calm down. But even so, the atmosphere in Heaven Empyrean City was as lively as ever. Not only did the number of people not decrease, it even increased. This was because for those who didn’t make it in time to attend the wedding, all of them still rushed here after they heard news about the emperor-ranked stones placed around Heaven Empyrean City. This made it so that Qin Wentian’s subordinates couldn’t help but to give orders to control the inflow of people into Heaven Empyrean City. If this continues on, no matter how vast the streets of Heaven Empyrean City were, it would be so packed that it was impossible to walk in there.
During these days, Qin Wentian didn’t do anything, he didn’t cultivate and spent all his time accompanying his friends and family. His elder sister Qin Yao and Ye Lingshuang often hang out together. His senior apprentice sister Luo Huan still kept teasing him, just like how she did in the past, causing Qin Wentian to feel rare moments of joy and relaxation, as though he had returned to the past. Fatty Fan Le was as shameless as ever, he kept looking at beauties in the city and everytime Xuan Xin caught him, he would beg for mercy. Xuan Xin forgave him every single time.
The two little fellows Mo Feng and Mo Yu kept sticking close to Qin Wentian, wanting him to teach them cultivation. But at their current levels, why would they need Qin Wentian to personally guide them?
Lin Xian`er was also invited into the Heaven Empyrean Palace specially constructed for Qin Wentian. However, she soon left after speaking awhile with Qin Wentian. She didn’t cry any longer, she only had a sincere smile as she congratulated him.
Qin Chuan and Mo Qingcheng’s father both had smiles on their faces, they were so happy that they seemed to have a perpetual grin on their faces everyday.
However, Qin Wentian also encountered something troublesome. Qin Chuan and the rest of the elders wanted to play with grandchildren and bugged him and his wives to hurry it up. Qin Wentian instantly sweated cold sweat. The path of cultivation was long and difficult, how would he dare to easily make the decision to have children? He kept finding excuses to avoid the matter, causing his senior sister Luo Huan and the elders to laugh at him, making it so that he had a headache.
Everything was so wonderful and perfect. Some times, Qin Wentian even wondered that if he could spend the rest of his life like this with his friends and family, how beautiful would that be?
Sadly, he understood that as long as he couldn’t reach the peak of the martial path, all happiness would only be temporarily. Living in a strength-oriented world, people are often helpless due to the circumstances. If he didn’t have the strength he had today, how could he unify Azure Mystic and enjoy the moments of peace now? Those years ago, he had died once and he clearly understood this logic. If he didn’t continue walking forward and climbed higher, there would only be danger waiting for him up ahead.
Also, right now, he still had a matter he had yet to accomplish. This matter was hidden in his heart, he had yet to take revenge for his parents.
…….
Today, in the Heaven Empyrean Palace, Qin Wentian summoned the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Matriarch Ji, Southern Phoenix Matriarch, Darknorth Immortal Emperor and the others in a great hall. These people were now all the controllers of this immortal realms.
“For the upcoming period of time, everyone can select the core characters of your clans and sects to come to the Heaven Empyrean Palace. Now, my cultivation base is the highest here and I can provide some guidance to them. Also, I have a few treasures with me that can aid everyone in your comprehension. Naturally, for those core characters you select, you have to be able to trust them absolutely. Each of you have contributed so that Azure Mystic could have such a situation today. I don’t hope for any of your descendents or juniors to spoil this era of peace in the future.” Qin Wentian spoke.
Those present all nodded respectively. When some of them submitted earlier, they still felt conflicted in their hearts as after all, it wouldn’t sound good to their reputation on the surface as they were still the hegemons of their respective areas and they had to listen to the commands of a junior. But now, they discovered that it was actually nothing much. The authority they have now far exceeded what they used to have in the past. They became the official first-tier powers in Azure Mystic and now that this immortal realm was unified, Qin Wentian also didn’t request them to do anything. Even before this when dealing with the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and the Jiang Clan, Qin Wentian settled everything alone. These powers who submitted to him didn’t even do anything at all. One could say that they were extremely lucky, able to enjoy such fortune today without even lifting a single finger.
And now, Qin Wentian even wanted to aid them in their cultivation. The Shooting Sun Immortal Empire, Darknorth Immortal Dynasty and the other powers all silently mused that they did indeed make the correct choice back then.
“Also, there’s one more matter. Right now, more and more experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms are descending to Azure Mystic. I feel some unease in my heart. After all, I would have to leave Azure Mystic sooner or later and at that time, the immortal realms would have to depend on all of you. Naturally, if there are any of you who are keen to go to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, you can come together with me. I’ll leave the choice to you.” Qin Wentian continued. He treated everyone the same, he wouldn’t make the decision for them. They had to pick the path they wanted to travel on themselves.
“In any case, this isn’t urgent. You guys can take the time and consider first. If any of you wish to leave here, before leaving, you have to make all arrangements and hand over things properly first.” Qin Wentian spoke. Many of those present felt a stirring in their hearts. In this place, their cultivation bases have already reached the limit of what they could reach. Also, upon seeing the power of empyreans, how could they not be envious of it, how would they not want to break through too?
Qin Wentian became so powerful after his return from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. How could they not want to become stronger as well?
The powerful Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was the highest out of all the thirty-three heavens. The experts there are as common as clouds, immortal emperors could be seen everywhere. In here, it was rare for Azure Mystic to see the birth of an ancient emperor even if tens of thousands of years have passed. But there are numerous empyreans that existed in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
“Everyone, is there still anything you all want to report or consult me on?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Sir Qin, this humble monk wishes to speak alone with you.” The esteemed reverend of the Askheart Temple spoke. Qin Wentian felt somewhat taken aback, he then nodded, “Sure, I’ll listen respectfully to Reverend’s instructions.”
The others bid farewell and departed, leaving only Qin Wentian, the reverend from Askheart Temple and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor behind.
“Evergreen, do you want to say it, or do you want me to say it?” The reverend asked.
“This matter is not so glorious, let me speak of it.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor smiled. “Wentian, I’m sure the Great Nirvana Immortal Art needs no further introduction to you, right?”
Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed with sharpness. He stared in bewilderment at the eminent reverend of the Askheart Temple and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. They actually wanted to speak to him for this matter.
“This Great Nirvana Immortal Art originally belongs to the Askheart Temple, the method I used to obtain it wasn’t glorious. Luckily, esteemed reverend didn’t pursue it.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke.
“The Great Nirvana Immortal Art actually came from the Askheart Temple.” Qin Wentian was silently shocked. Great nirvana, to be reborn, creating an avatar. It was true that the Evergreen Immortal Empire wasn’t powerful enough to produce such a secret art.
“In truth, this art’s history is an exceedingly long one. There are ancient records in our temple stating that during the primordial era, there was a buddhist sect in Ancient Azure Mystic and that was the origin of the Great Nirvana Immortal Art. Cultivators of the buddhist path can depend on this art to create avatars to experience the alternative ways of life this world has to offer in order to aid them in their comprehension of the buddha dao. If not, if one only silently meditates in the temple, it’s almost impossible for their efforts to come to fruition. Although, I feel sad to speak of this.” The esteemed reverend pressed his palms together as he spoke.
Qin Wentian pondered a little and instantly understood. Many monks in the Askheart Temple all chose to meditate silently in the temple and didn’t enter the world. However, they had avatars to roam the world, experiencing everything the world had to offer. Some of them loved and hated, some even have sons and daughters, many doing things that went against the teachings of the buddha path just to aid them in further comprehension. This was why the reverend said that he was sad to speak of this.
Qin Wentian glanced at the reverend. Seems like even this reverend himself also had an avatar. This was truly interesting.
“Naturally this is a secret art that’s forbidden to be taught to outsiders. In fact, not many know of this and only a rare few in the Askheart Temple have the qualifications to cultivate this special art, all of them are monks of extremely high standing. However, there were also scum in our temple. There was once a disciple of my senior brother who had extremely high talent in cultivating the buddha-path but his personality was more inclined to evil. All of us persuaded him to leave the temple yet he found a chance and snuck into the hidden scriptures library and stole this particular secret art. In addition, he originated from a major power and this incident created quite a huge commotion back then, with many people perishing due to being dragged into the storm. After Evergreen received this news, he secretly interfered and participated in seizing the treasure and succeeded in doing so. All of this was eventually uncovered by my temple.”
The reverend slowly continued while the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had a bitter smile on his face. He knew he shouldn’t have done so.
“In that case, why did the Great Nirvana Immortal Art still fall into my hands?” Qin Wentian asked.
“What you have isn’t the original scripture, it’s a copy. As to the reason why…” The reverend laughed and continued, “Do you remember what I said to you back then? Sir Qin, you are connected by fate with our Askheart Temple and the karma linking us was planted many years ago.”
“Reverend, what do you mean?” Qin Wentian felt extremely puzzled. This secret art was something that was forbidden to be taught to outsiders. The Askheart Temple would never allow the Evergreen Immortal Emperor to cultivate it. But why was Qing`er able to pass this on to him?
“Sir Yuanfeng has fate with our temple. You are truly very similar to him.” The reverend stood up with his palms pressed together as he bowed to Qin Wentian. After that, he turned and prepared to leave.
Qin Wentian’s heart was filled endless shock when he heard that name. He looked at the back view of the Reverend and called out, “Reverend, please stay on a while more?”
“Sir Qin, if you have some free time, you can come and pay a visit to the Askheart Temple. Our temple has some ancient records regarding the secrets of Azure Mystic, it’s inconvenient for me to speak of them here. Farewell.” The reverend directly left after he spoke. Never in his wildest dreams did Qin Wentian ever imagine that there would be such a story behind this.
