Chapter 895: Heading to the City of Ancient Emperors
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Time flies, in the vast immortal realms, the passage of a thousand years would pass in merely the blink of an eye.
Right now, four years had already passed by since the immortal banquet of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. The Cloud Prefecture became the headquarters for the forces established by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, namely his troops and sect. Despite the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect being a power at the peak, there were still no major powers who dared to join it. With the threat of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect present, the newly formed forces under the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord might be annihilated at any moment.
.......
Jiangling Country, of the Cloud Prefecture.
Within the Driftsnow City, endless snowflakes drifted about. The chimes of the nine immortality bells echoed endlessly as a fiery beam of light shot up into the air, entering into a divine weapon at the end of its completion.
At the center area of the nine immortality bells, a young man sat there cross-legged. He wore a simple white robe, yet it was unable to mask his elegance. At this moment, with a wave of his hands, boundless runic light rushed into the divine weapon he created and instantly, the weapon shimmered with immortal light as it shot up into the skies.
"Yet another immortal-ranked weapon is created. As expected of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord's personal disciple, the man who obtained the position of top ranker in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect's immortal banquet." In the surroundings around the Driftsnow City, several figures stared at the young man as awe flooded their expressions. This young man was naturally none other than Qin Wentian.
"He's forging immortal weapons alone. As a disciple of the Thousand Transformation Emperor Lord, he is here in the Driftsnow City alone to refine and forge weapons. Could it be he doesn't want to depend on his master?" Many experts silently speculated, and as the immortal-ranked weapon was forged, the people in the surroundings couldn't help but to marvel at his talent. And when thinking of the things that happened within the Driftsnow City in the past, the crowd couldn't help but to sigh.
Years past when he was in the Driftsnow City, Qin Wentian was surrounded by the major powers of the Cloud Prefecture. All of them wanted to kill him and to seize the secret of the Driftsnow City. However, he depended on the power of the weaponized city and slaughtered those who came at him. Back then, no one would have expected Qin Wentian's current accomplishments.
Right now, Qin Wentian was in the Driftsnow City forging weapons and no major powers dared to antagonize him. This place was the Cloud Prefecture, the headquarters of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Who would still dare to offend his disciple?
Qin Wentian soared up in the air and kept the divine weapon. His silhouette flickered as he vanished, before appearing beside a beautiful young woman. This young woman was none other than Pei Yu, the one who fell in love with the ancient Driftsnow Master.
"Are you not leaving?" Qin Wentian asked in a quiet voice. Pei Yu's obsession was too strong, he didn't imagine that this could happened back then. Because of the story between the Driftsnow Master and Immortal Jade, Pei Yu actually fell in love with the Driftsnow Master.
"Nope, this place is pretty good." Pei Yu shook her head as she stretched her hand out, catching the falling snowflakes.
"Okay then. The Driftsnow Master is someone belonging to the ancient era, don't sink too deeply..." Qin Wentian reminded.
"I know..." Pei Yu gave a gentle smile to Qin Wentian. He could only silently shake his head before turning and departing the area. A number of figures could be seen following after him, and a few moments later, he took out an interspatial ring and turned to the person in the lead as he commanded, "Exchange these immortal-ranked divine weapons for a Sky Demon Oracle Bone as well as some Yuan Meteor Stones for my cultivation."
"Roger." That was actually an immortal-foundation expert. He bowed at the command and instantly led the group of people soaring up into the air, leaving the Driftsnow City.
Qin Wentian didn't turn back. Although this Driftsnow City was mobile, he still didn't have enough strength to bring it away. It would be better to leave it here for now.
At this moment, several people could be seen standing on a flying boat, soaring towards him with incredible speed, arriving in front of the Driftsnow City shortly after. Cold intent radiated from all of them as they stared at Qin Wentian.
"Not giving up yet?" Qin Wentian stared back at them as he coldly inquired. Recently in this half a year, he had met over ten assassination attempts on his life. Ever since the first time, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord arranged experts to guard him everytime he came out.
"KILL!" The assassins roared as a tyrannical immortal light radiated forth from them, rushing towards Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian's guards also rushed out, fighting against them. The strongest among the guards stood before Qin Wentian, protecting him with a layer of immortal light.
"Persistent bastards. In every assassination attempt, the number of experts they send out wouldn't be much. What are they planning exactly?" Qin Wentian's countenance was ice-cold. Those assassins never stated where they were from, but it wasn't hard to analyse where they originated. Only the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would dare to send people into the six prefectures now controlled by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to kill him.
But as to who gave the order, he still couldn't be sure about that.
It might be Dongsheng Ting, or the Deepflame Immortal King, or some other experts of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
The battle between immortals raged on, Qin Wentian simply stood there like a spectator, as though the battle had nothing to do with him.
But at this moment, a formless gigantic palm imprint abruptly shot out, blotting out the skies, aiming right for Qin Wentian. It was so fast, that no defense could even be mounted.
"CAREFUL!" The guard in front of Qin Wentian roared. He didn't attempt to defend but chose to pull Qin Wentian along as he retreated rapidly instead. However, although the palm imprint hadn't blasted into them yet, the pressure from it sealed the space around them. Qin Wentian felt that he couldn't even move at all, and the layer of protective immortal light also cracked under the pressure.
"Bzz!" A beam of intense immortal light shot over, just the might within was sufficient to kill Qin Wentian. But right now just before the beam struck him, an image manifested before him and this was actually none other than an image of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
"SCRAM!" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord roared, his voice rang out like thunder through the skies as the palm imprint shattered apart. Because of the power of his roar, the space around this location trembled violently and a hidden immortal-king expert found that he could no longer hide within the void and was forced to reveal himself.
"Who would have thought that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord would be so protective of this disciple." That expert commented, feeling shock in his heart. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord left behind a powerful strand of his immortal sense on Qin Wentian's body. In that case, it basically meant that they would never be able to kill Qin Wentian.
"I initially thought that you guys were only playing around, but to think that the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect actually sent an immortal king that's proficient in spatial law to assassinate my disciple. Excellent, does the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect truly have no fear of me?" The image formed by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord trembled in anger as a terrifying aura blasted forth from him.
"Emperor Lord, you are too serious. We are only here to see how important Qin Wentian is to you, we wouldn't really be so bold as to kill him." That immortal king laughed. Spatial fluctuations rocked the area as his presence flew further and further away, vanishing all of a sudden. The other assassins all fled hurriedly away as well, not daring to remain a moment longer.
The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord didn't bother to pursue these immortal-foundation experts. What sort of status did he have? It would only be a loss of face if he went to hunt down these immortal-foundation level characters.
"Let's return." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord waved his hands and brought Qin Wentian away.
A short period of time later, they returned to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, which was also located at the Cloud Prefecture Manor of the past. After the modifications by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, this entire place was renovated and became even larger in terms of layout.
The image of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord vanished. Qin Wentian walked into the sect and many of those inside bowed low when they saw him, calling out a greeting, "Young Master Qin."
Qin Wentian's expression didn't change. Now, not only for people in the external world, even people within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect believed that he was the personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. In addition, the Emperor Lord himself had never denied this before, as though he was silently admitting the fact, granting Qin Wentian an identity and status. Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't go and dispel the rumors.
Since the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord could appear at the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect back then to take them away, he naturally had an extraordinary relationship with the Heavenly Talisman Realm. Although he wasn't a member, he definitely had a deeper connection compared to others with Heavenly Talisman Realm.
Not long after, Qin Wentian stepped into the depths of the sect. In front of him, a man could be seen watering the plants and flowers, exuding a tranquil and leisurely aura.
"Emperor Lord." Qin Wentian moved towards him.
"You are back. From now on, your movements won't be restricted when you travel within the six prefectures. Do you have any plans as of now?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord didn't turn back, he continued watering the flowers as he casually asked.
"Emperor Lord, are you able to send me into the City of Ancient Emperors?" Qin Wentian asked.
The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord finally turned and stared at him with a smile, "Are you certain?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. Because of what he heard of the City of Ancient Emperors, he also felt a blazing desire to enter it. Not anyone could casually step inside this city as there was a barrier which required at the very least an immortal king's strength to breach. Hence, the vast majority of experts within are all descendants and personal disciples of immortal emperors and immortal kings, or disciples from supreme immortal-ranked sects.
"Right now your foundations have already been stabilized and you are already at the peak of the seventh-level of Celestial Phenomenon. Once you enter the City, it's best for you not to come out until you achieve immortal ascension, or at the very least after your cultivation reaches the peak of Celestial Phenomenon." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord added.
"Right. I will remember the Emperor Lord's advice." Qin Wentian nodded.
"When do you want to set off?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord asked again.
"I wish to wait for my junior apprentice brother Mengchen, before we set off together." Qin Wentian replied.
"That's no problem. You can leave first." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord turned and continued watering the flowers. Qin Wentian gave a bow of respect before turning and departing the area. Several days later, the immortal-foundation expert he sent to exchanged for the Sky Demon Oracle Bone and Yuan Meteor Stones, was finally back. Qin Wentian then used them and continued his cultivation, increasing his strength as well as the defense of his physical body.
In the blink of an eye, several months passed by. Today, Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan entered the Thousand Transformations Immortal Palace, and appeared before the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord while giving an excited shout, "Emperor Lord! Is my senior brother here?"
"I've already sent a summon for him to come over." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord smiled.
"Okay." Jun Mengchen nodded. Not long after, Qin Wentian appeared in the palace and upon seeing Jun Mengchen and Zi QIngxuan, a trace of a smile flickered in his eyes."You guys are finally here."
"Mhm, I guessed senior brother might be here, hence we came by to check this place out. Oh yes, previously, you mentioned the City of Ancient Emperors. Do you want to head there together?" Jun Mengchen asked.
"I'm waiting here for you two precisely because of this matter. I've long requested the Emperor Lord for his help, we will set off directly once you two are here. Since you two are here now, shall we set off immediately?" Qin Wentian stared at the two of them as he asked.
"Let's go!" Jun Mengchen laughed as he nodded.
"Let's move out then." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord couldn't help but smile when he saw how excited these juniors are. With a wave of his hand, the four of them vanished from sight completely!
