The Lifelong Realmlord has died, the Qingcheng Realmlord took over. The nine world palaces were reorganized as the clouds and winds changed.
However, there were still many things that have yet to be settled. For example, those powers who were deeply loyal to the Lifelong Realmlord, as well as many things in the Lifelong Sainthall itself.
"Realmlord, how should we deal with these two? Also, there's the matter about the Qingcheng Sainthall." The Xuanyuan Palace Lord asked. His gaze stared at the two fairies who stood beside the Lifelong Realmlord earlier. Before this, their statuses were extremely lofty, accepting the worship of the masses along with the Lifelong Realmlord. How glorious was that? But now, they were the same as Concubine Lu who had died. Their statuses now were extremely awkward.
"Xuanyuan Palace Lord, what do you suggest?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Earlier, Lifelong was disrespectful to Madam Ye. Also, Realmlord you did suggest for these two to dance to the public instead earlier." The Xuanyuan Palace Lord replied. The expressions of the two fairies instantly changed, becoming extremely unsightly. In the past, their statuses were transcendent, even the Xuanyuan Palace Lord had to bow to them when he saw them. But now, they were actually humiliated like this.
However, they also understood that the circumstances were no longer the same. Before this, their man insulted Qin Wentian's woman. But now, Qin Wentian has already killed their man. What would their fates be?
Earlier, the Lifelong Realmlord did say that if he killed Qin Wentian, he would take 'good care' of Qin Wentian's women.
Qin Wentian glanced at the Xuanyuan Palace Lord and didn't answer him. He then turned to the two fairies."What do the two of you think? How should I deal with you?"
The expressions of the two fairies changed. They bit their lips and appeared extremely wronged, easily evoking pity in the hearts of those who saw them. They were extremely charming. One of them bowed, "I'm willing to serve at the side of the Qingcheng Realmlord, be it as a slave or maid."
Now, what was important was to continue to live on. Pride had to be thrown aside. It wasn't anything much to wait upon Qin Wentian for them to survive. After all, this person was more outstanding than the Lifelong Realmlord.
"I'm not as despicable as the Lifelong Realmlord." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. It was impossible for him to really take the Lifelong Realmlord's women as his own. Serving by his side as a slave or maid? He was very clear what she meant exactly.
"Huang Zhan, I'll give you a mission. Help me investigate clearly about the Lifelong Realmlord's harem. See which women there were forced to become his concubines back then and free them all. As for those women who had followed him willingly, as well as his descendants, strip them of everything they own, cripple their cultivation bases and let them become commoners." Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Those people below all nodded when they heard Qin Wentian's words.
Before their battle, the Lifelong Realmlord's words to Qin Wentian were extremely malicious. However, after Qin Wentian killed him, he didn't really plan to do any sordid things to the Lifelong Realmlord's harem for the sake of revenge. He would release those women who were forced, and cripple the cultivation bases of others. Although this was somewhat ruthless, it can already be considered as him being extremely kind, not choosing to slaughter them all. In a strength-oriented world, who didn't understand the logic of exterminating all roots of future trouble? If one wasn't ruthless enough to his enemies, he might even die in the future because of the mercy he had shown.
Qin Wentian wasn't bothered about revenge by these people. But what about his friends and family? It was unknown how many women and descendants the Lifelong Realmlord had. If one of them matured and began to plot against his friends and family from the shadows, wouldn't he feel regret? Allowing them to be commoners can already be considered a show or mercy from him. If the Lifelong Realmlord had won, he would definitely use even more sinister methods to deal with Qin Wentian's friends and family.
However, Qin Wentian didn't plan to intentionally kill them just for the sake of a possibility. If not, what difference would there be between him and the Lifelong Realmlord?
"Your subordinate obeys." Huang Zhan bowed.
Qin Wentian nodded his head. He then glanced at the crowd below and spoke, "Everyone can return for now. The atmosphere for the grand banquet this time around is already spoiled. However, I'll make another announcement to the world that three months later, the first grand banquet of the Qingcheng Realm shall be held. At that time, there will be even more competition and the rewards will be more generous compared to the past. All of you can come again then to attend the grand banquet."
"The official grand banquet will be organized three months later?" The eyes of many people flashed with sharpness. Today, they had truly witnessed an extremely shocking event. The change of a dynasty and the rise of a new Realmlord. Three months later, they would even be able to witness the first grand banquet held by the new Qingcheng Sainthall.
They understood the meaning of this banquet. Back then, Qin Wentian killed and replaced the Lifire Palace Lord but this time around, things were different. He had completely replaced the Lifelong Realmlord and had changed the name of the Realm.
The first grand banquet of the Qingcheng Realm would only be more lively compared to the past. One could already very well imagine how magnificent the banquet would be.
"During these three months, all new palace lords are to reorganize your world palace's inner structure and control the powers under you well. Also, help me to pass on the message. I have to trouble everyone then." Qin Wentian glanced at the new palace lords as he spoke.
"We will naturally do our best." Jialan Jiangshan bowed, he felt gratitude towards Qin Wentian. Given Qin Wentian's current status and position, he could completely ignore Jialan Jiangshan. However, Qin Wentian didn't make use of them this time around. He truly had them in his considerations and changed the name of the Lifire Palace to the Jialan Palace. The new palace lord would naturally be none other than him, Jialan Jiangshan, the controller of the Jialan Clan.
Also, Qin Wentian intentionally gave the Lifire Palace to them because the foundations of the Jialan Clan were in Lifire City. Since that was the case, they would find it easy to take over from Qin Wentian, there wouldn't be any problems.
Jialan Yuntian and Jialan Yunhai glanced at each other. The Jialan Clan's dream has finally been realized. From now onwards, the Jialan Clan would be one of the nine world palace lords, governing the vast stretch of territories under the Jialan World Palace. They could make use of this to properly train up some of their clan members.
"If it wasn't for Qiuyue, we might have missed this opportunity again. We might have even stood on the Lifelong Realmlord's side." Jialan Yuntian silently mused, glancing at his granddaughter. However, he only saw the eyes of Jialan Qiuyue fixed on Qin Wentian. He could only helplessly shake his head. Regardless of Di Tian or Qin Wentian, both were too outstanding. There were no young ladies who wouldn't have their hearts moved by them.
"Everyone, feel free to disperse." Qin Wentian waved his hand. The crowd wished to continue on but since Qin Wentian had already spoke, they could only leave.
As the crowd gradually dispersed, Qin Wentian came to Yi's side, "Senior, I took so long before I could come over. Sorry for the wait."
Qin Wentian was still very respectful towards Yi. He has already heard of Yi's legendary stories a few hundred years ago when he was merely at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm and gained the inheritance of God's Hand. To Qin Wentian, no matter what his status or position might be, he would always be filled with respect towards Yi.
Yi smiled and shook his head."I didn't feel this earlier, but now, I suddenly felt that I'm truly old."
Qin Wentian started. After that, he smiled wryly. After all, he was truly much too young when compared to Yi.
"Senior, don't put it this way. I've came all the way till here listening to your legends." Qin Wentian laughed.
"By saying this, I feel even older now." Yi rolled his eyes. Qin Wentian's face was filled with black lines, it seemed that he has said something wrong.
"Haha." Seeing the awkward look on Qin Wentian's face, Yi stretched his hands and patted Qin Wentian on his shoulders, "There are geniuses every generation. I'm truly very happy to witness a junior from Azure Mystic being able to have such achievements today. Because Azure Mystic was sealed for many years and had lost all connections with the outer world, in addition to scarce resources and a lack of guidance, this led a lack of truly powerful individuals being born despite the fact that they might have very good innate talents. You are a miracle and I've also seen that you've brought many people from our world to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. I truly feel proud of you."
"Senior praises me too much." Qin Wentian knew in his heart that this wasn't his credit alone. If it wasn't for the ancient heavenly deities, he wouldn't have such capabilities to bring out an army of empyreans.
"Go and be busy with your own stuff. There's no need to bother about me. I'll stay in the Qingcheng Realm for some days and three months later, I'll come and find you for a drink." Yi laughed.
"Right. That's a deal then." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. Yi then walked towards Emperor Yu. A meeting of old friends was naturally filled with many emotions. However, now that Emperor Yu has chosen to follow Qin Wentian, he naturally wouldn't follow Yi again. None of the others would do so too. This was a respect for Qin Wentian.
The people of the Gemini Palace and members of Battle Saint Tribe gathered together. Right now, their Battle Saint Tribe was in control of two world palaces - the Battle Saint Palace and Gemini Palace.
Qin Wentian brought everyone to the Lifelong Sainthall and restructured some of the things within. After that, he handed everything that needs to be done to the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord and Xuanyuan Palace Lord before he used the teleportation array to return back to the Lifire Palace. He didn't like to handle these miscellaneous stuff, hence, he delegated it all to his subordinates.
Qin Wentian naturally also brought Ye Qianyu back to the Lifire Palace. This was the first time Ye Qianyu met with Qing`er and Qingcheng and their meeting wasn't as awkward as Qin Wentian imagined. Ye Qianyu was very passionate towards Qing`er and Qingcheng. Also, what sort of characters were Qing`er and Qingcheng? Since Ye Qianyu was already Qin Wentian's woman and had made so many sacrifices for him, they were naturally willing to accept her. Three women of unexcelled beauty, each with their own style, were soon on very good terms with one another. In fact, they even chased Qin Wentian out of the palace lord's bed room in the Lifire Palace. This made Qin Wentian feel extremely depressed. No matter what, he was the Qingcheng Realmlord, right? Wouldn't he lose a lot of face if others learned that he was forced out of the bedroom by his wives?
Mo Qingcheng had a satisfied smile on her face as she replied. Since this realm was named the Qingcheng Realm, doesn't that means that the ones truly in control here was she and Qing`er? How would Qin Wentian dare to say that it was not the case? He could only silently sneak away, sighing in his heart that it was easier to establish an empire than to control a harem. Three women of different charms stayed together in the Lifire Palace Lord's bedroom while he was chased away. How miserable was this?
......
After the new palace lords returned to their palaces, they used iron-blooded methods to cleanse each palace. The Southern Phoenix Matriarch and the Darknorth Immortal Emperor now became the rulers of those powers under the respective world palaces. They were used to having such authority and there was no need to question their methods. Also, now that they were empyreans, Qin Wentian wasn't worried that they wouldn't be able to control their palaces.
After the restructuring, the change in name to the Qingcheng Realm and the changes in name to the six world palaces, soon spread across the realm. In the grand banquet held once every hundred years, the story of how the Qingcheng Realmlord killed the Lifelong Realmlord soon began to circulate around the world. Countless people were discussing this. Qin Wentian was truly a legendary character displaying his brilliance, rising up in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
Very swiftly, the news about the upcoming grand banquet that would soon be organized by the Qingcheng Sainthall also spread. More and more people respectively headed towards Qingcheng City, wanting to see the legendary character who killed the Lifelong Realmlord. This was someone who used a mere hundred years to climb from the mid-stage of the immortal emperor realm to the world overlord realm. He was originally a governor from the Lifire Palace and now, he inherited this entire realm, becoming the Qingcheng Realmlord.
There were people who claimed that this name lacked an air of tyranny, but they were soon shot down by those who knew of the finer details and mocked them for their ignorance. The name of the Qingcheng Realm was chosen because the words 'Qingcheng' were the characters of Qin Wentian's beloved first two wives. Such a beautiful story filled with emotions caused countless beautiful women in the world to feel extremely envious!
