Even after the reverend had left, Qin Wentian wasn’t able to calm himself down even after a long time. Who was Sir Yuanfeng?
It was naturally none other than his father, Qin Yuanfeng!
The Reverend of the Askheart Temple said that his father, Qin Yuanfeng, had fate with the Askheart Temple. In that case, there’s no doubt that his father had once appeared before in Azure Mystic. Also, seeing how the Askheart Temple was willing not to pursue the fact that the Evergreen Immortal Empire seized the Great Nirvana Immortal Art and even allowed Qing`er to pass it to him, all the reasons behind this should be because of his father.
In the past, although Qin Wentian was once startled by how extraordinary the Great Nirvana Immortal Art was, he didn’t link it to his father. The Askheart Temple had inheritances from the primordial era and even knew the secret of Ancient Azure Mystic. Seems like he would definitely need to pay a visit to the temple if there’s a chance for him to do so.
Qin Wentian turned his gaze once again to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as a look of puzzlement appeared on his face. Upon noticing Qin Wentian’s gaze, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor smiled, “Qin Yuanfeng did appear in the immortal realms before. Although his appearance here was short-lived, his time spent here was a magnificent one. However, his existence was soon forgotten by others. I didn’t expect that he was an acquaintance of the Askheart Temple. Qin Yuanfeng should be your biological father, right?”
“Mhm, so father-in-law has already guessed it.” Qin Wentian nodded, he didn’t intend to hide this from the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor’s words didn’t cause him to be surprised. He understood that his father Qin Yuanfeng came to this immortal realm to hide from his enemies. He had chosen this place because Azure Mystic had a restriction order on it, and this place wouldn’t attract the attention of experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms because the news here would never circulate out. But even so, his father would definitely not create any huge commotions when he was living here. After all, although people from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms couldn’t enter Azure Mystic, they still had informers here.
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t say anything more, his understanding of Qin Yuanfeng was hazy at best and he didn’t know any of the more detailed stuff. The one who arranged all of this was the White Emperor. Back then, the person who interacted with the Askheart Temple was also the White Emperor. The White Emperor seemed to be always correct, he has never been wrong before. It was like when he predicted Qin Wentian would change the fate of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, all his predictions had came true.
“Palace lord, this subordinate has a matter to report.” At this moment, outside the Heaven Empyrean Palace, someone spoke. This person didn’t dare to send out his immortal sense to probe inside the palace. Nobody would dare to do this. However, as long as he spoke out, Qin Wentian would naturally be able to hear it.
“Enter.” Qin Wentian stated.
Xu Li walked in, there was a jadeslip in his hand as he spoke respectfully, “Palace lord, someone told me to pass this to you.”
Qin Wentian waved his hand as the jadeslip flew over to him. His immortal sense entered it as sharpness gleamed in his eyes. After that, he turned his gaze towards the horizons as his eyes flickered coldly.
“What happened?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor asked.
“Father-in-law, Hua Taixu sent a message over. He is going to leave Azure Mystic and told me to seal the City of Ancient Emperors.” Qin Wentian spoke.
“Seal the City of Ancient Emperors?” The eyes of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor gleamed sharply. The City of Ancient Emperors was the place where ancient emperors were born before. Many experts of the immortal realms would go there to temper themselves. When Qin Wentian returned, he caused a commotion after the other by his world-shocking actions, and there were many people who exited the City of Ancient Emperors. But even so, there were still plenty of experts within the City of Ancient Emperors cultivating. It would be the same for the future as well.
“Mhm. Father-in-law, do you remember that there are dao elements in the City of Ancient Emperors? But for people who accepted the inheritance, they had to fight each other and be the last one remaining. Hua Taixu told me that the City of Ancient Emperors is actually a supreme treasure from the upper world that connects the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Even if the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms had a restriction order placed on it, some powers from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms can still use the City of Ancient Emperors as a connecting pathway to manifest their wills. This is extremely dangerous.” Qin Wentian spoke.
He also understood that what Hua Taixu has said was right. The City of Ancient Emperors must be sealed or there would be endless future trouble. Qing`er had also accepted the inheritance of a dao element and the origins of these dao elements all came from the Upper World. Qin Wentian guessed that it was highly possible these dao elements originated from powers even stronger than the Lifelong Realm controlled by the Lifelong Realmlord.
“Since you feel that it needs to be done, just do what you need to do.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally believed in Qin Wentian completely. Since he said that the City of Ancient Emperors has to be sealed. He must have his reasons to do so. In that case, the City of Ancient Emperors that had always been extremely important to the immortal realms would no longer exist from now on.
“For the following period of time, I’ll provide guidance to the various immortal emperors from the peak powers and impart to them my experience. After that, I’ll make a trip to the Askheart Temple.” Qin Wentian spoke. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor nodded his head.
During the second day, the various powers brought their selected people here. The vast majority of these people were all immortal emperors. There were also some transcendent-level immortal kings and these people were the core members of the various major powers. Since they were chosen, it was clear that they are the future successors.
Qin Wentian began to speak about the Dao, and impart his experience in cultivation to them. He brought them to another location and took out empyrean-level stones for them to feel the energy fluctuations, aiding their comprehensions. It was difficult to impart the dao directly, one had to depend on themselves to comprehend it. But even so, his actions were of some use. As long as those contemplating the empyrean fluctuations were strong enough, they would definitely be able to gain insights. He gave them examples and showed them what empyreans could do, it was like a dao lecture in the sacred academy.
And simultaneously when Qin Wentian was giving the dao lecture. Di Tian arrived at the chaotic sea region outside the City of Ancient Emperors. Back then, he needed the blackdragon to open up a tunnel before he could enter the City of Ancient Emperors. But now, he was already at the empyrean level and was an extremely powerful one.
He directly headed into the storm raining over the ocean region, his immortal sense permeating the area and he saw a world before him. This world was clearly a supreme treasure that radiated boundless radiance. It was a world that has its own universe within.
“Who are you?” A swishing sound rang out as the waves of the oceanic region churned wildly. A black dragon directly appeared before Di Tian, it was none other than the powerful black dragon that guards the City of Ancient Emperors.
“The Heaven Empyrean gave a command to seal the City of Ancient Emperors.” Di Tian spoke. The black dragon roared, causing the ocean waves to churn even more violently. “Impudent, does he know what sort of place the City of Ancient Emperors is?”
“It’s most probably a supreme treasure from the upper world. Now that Azure Mystic is already unified under the Heaven Empyrean, the existence of the City of Ancient Emperors is no longer allowed.” Di Tian’s voice was cold. The expression of the black dragon was ugly to the extreme. Thunder and lightning radiated from him as an immensely powerful bolt of heavenly thunder blasted down from the sky.
“Your body is not real, you are just a physical manifestation of a spirit body.” Di Tian calmly spoke. Countless sealing runes descended from the sky, all of them flying towards the black dragon. At the same time, a sealing screen of light appeared in the air, separating this entire space from its original dimension, blocking the heavenly thunder.
“Lock.” Di Tian waved his hand. A moment later, countless chains manifested and bound the black dragon, imprisoning him. The sealing energy was channeled from the chains into his gigantic body. The black dragon roared in anger, “Do you know what you are doing?!”
“Shut up.” A chain swiped over and directly smacked the dragon on his face, leaving behind a bloody scar. Such humiliation drove the black dragon mad. This ant from Azure Mystic actually dared to do such a thing to him.
Lashing sounds continued as the chains frenziedly whacked the black dragon. The black dragon howled in anger, “YOU WILL REGRET THIS!”
“The Heaven Empyrean bade me to pass this message to you. Very fortunately, your judgement back then was shit and didn’t allow him to gain control of the inheritance of the City of Ancient Emperors. It was only because of that that he could have his achievements today. In order to repay you, you will be sealed together with the City of Ancient Emperors.” Di Tian continued speaking. The terrifying chains wrapped themselves around the black dragon and directly destroyed it. This figure shouldn’t be its real body, its true body should be hidden somewhere within the City of Ancient Emperors.
Stepping out, Di Tian continued through the storm and broke through the layers of restriction as he entered the City of Ancient Emperors. He then stated, “People in the City of Ancient Emperors hear my command. Everyone is to leave immediately. The Heaven Empyrean has ordered me to seal the City of Ancient Emperors. The time limit is one day, if any of you refuse to leave when the time limit is up, you shall all be sealed together with the City of Ancient Emperors.”
At this instant, the experts in the City of Ancient Emperors all felt their hearts shaking. They were naturally familiar with the name of the Heaven Empyrean. Who doesn’t know that the Heaven Empyrean has already unified the world? Even if some experts in the City of Ancient Emperors had been in it for a long time, they have also learned of it.
Because the name of the Heaven Empyrean has long spread to every part of the immortal realms. As long as one is a slightly more powerful expert, they would definitely know of this.
The Heaven Empyrean has ordered me to seal the City of Ancient Emperors. How tyrannical this was? Although the experts in the city didn’t understand, all of them frenziedly rushed out and started to use the teleportation arrays to leave.
The teleportation arrays lit up as all the experts departed, feeling waves of shock in their hearts.
A day later, this vast ocean region was sealed away by a powerful sealing art, shutting the area here into a separate space that was completely locked. The powers from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms could cause dao elements to manifest in the City of Ancient Emperors because it was a supreme treasure that connected the two places. As long as the City of Ancient Emperors was sealed, the connection would naturally be broken.
There was naturally no need to doubt Di Tian’s sealing abilities. A sealing screen of light appeared, covering everything. The entire ocean region was like a boundlessly large sealing diagram with countless sealing runes embedded into it. The sealing runes flared up, the light they radiated converged together and swallowed up the entire City of Ancient Emperors, sealing it completely. After that, Di Tian departed from the area.
From within the sealed space, a voice filled with rage, regret and humiliation echoed out. Once, he had already found this generation’s guardian for the City of Ancient Emperors and was prepared to pass the inheritance to him. But because of the appearance of the dao elements, the era changed and the black dragon decided to reconsider his choice. But never in his wildest dreams would he imagine that when that person he had chosen before came here once again, that person already couldn’t care less about the inheritance. In fact, right now, Qin Wentian even commanded someone to seal the City of Ancient Emperors away, he didn’t even need to show up personally. What attitude was this? Right now, he was the overlord of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, why would he care about the status of being the successor to the City of Ancient Emperors?
The City of Ancient Emperors was sealed by the order of the Heaven Empyrean and this caused a huge wave of commotion where many people in the immortal realms discussed this matter. In fact, some people even speculated that it was because the Heaven Empyrean was worried that someone might break through to the ancient emperor realm and surpass him. But such voices were soon submerged by the spit of others. Would the Heaven Empyrean fear other empyreans? Don’t forget that the empyreans of the Heaven Talisman Realm and the Jiang Clan were all killed by him.
He definitely must have another reason for sealing the City of Ancient Emperors. Right now, there were too many of Qin Wentian’s supporters in the immortal realms. Qin Wentian was like a god to them, an incomparably supreme character that no one could doubt.
And indeed, there was soon news circulating out saying that currently, the Heaven Empyrean was in the Heaven Empyrean Palace guiding the immortal emperors of the various peak powers, imparting them the method to break through the immortal emperor realm. This caused countless people to be extremely envious.
The Heaven Empyrean was personally nurturing the peak powers, hoping the strength of Azure Mystic would be able to rise. Would he be jealous of the City of Ancient Emperors and seal it away? Clearly, it was impossible.
Just as everyone was speculating, right now in the northern regions of the immortal realms, near the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, many empyreans from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms just arrived.
And as for Qin Wentian, he has finally arrived at the Askheart Temple. The Askheart Temple was the only official first-tier power whose base wasn’t relocated to Heaven Empyrean City.
