Chapter 985: Evergreen Immortal Empire
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Mo Xie departed, sent away by the law energy of the City of Ancient Emperors. Yet, the hearts of the experts from the Qin Sect couldn't calm down. This Mo Xie was truly a ruthless character. Just from the fact that he killed Zi Daoyang, it was already clear that he was extremely dangerous.
Now Mo Xie had an indestructible physique, three-ninths of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor's inheritance, had gone through the baptism of the Sacred Luminance, and had even established his immortal foundation.
Other than Qin Wentian and his companions, Mo Xie could be considered one of the ultimate winners during this journey to the City of Ancient Emperors. And sadly, the most tragic loser was undoubtedly none other than Zi Daoyang.
Naturally, Mo Xie's overwhelming strength did nothing to mask Qin Wentian's glory. It was apparent he'd made advance preparations and that was why his demonic beast companion was still alive. Also, he had even successfully escaped from Mo Xie who was now at the immortal foundation realm. Anyone would be proud to have such achievements.
It was only that the battle had been truly too dangerous.
"If we encounter Mo Xie again in the immortal realms in the future, we must kill him for sure." Jun Mengchen had an unsightly expression on his face. Mo Xie's methods were too ruthless.
"Everyone, please disperse. Since Mo Xie has already left, there won't be any more disturbances in our Qin Sect." Qin Wentian stood in midair, and spoke to the spectators. Now that the Violet Sect had disintegrated and Mo Xie was gone, the Qin Sect was undoubtedly the commanding power of the City of Ancient Emperors.
The others nodded as they departed, one after another. Qin Wentian slowly floated to the ground as Qing`er, Nanfeng Yunxi, Jun Mengchen, and the others all followed behind him.
"Qin Wentian, are you preparing to leave the city?" Nanfeng Yunxi asked. Earlier she had overheard Qin Wentian's words.
"Mhm, there's no longer any pressure here in the City of Ancient Emperors. It's about time for us to leave, " Qin Wentian replied quietly."Anyway, I came here mainly to look for Qing`er."
Qing`er's beautiful eyes flickered. Nanfeng Yunxi glanced at her and smiled, "I see. You have already reached the summit by ranking at the top of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Given the strength of our Qin Sect, it's also true that no other power will be able to contend against us. There's truly no longer any reason for us to remain here. I've also been out adventuring for quite a number of years, and it's about time for me to make preparations to ascend to immortal foundation once I return."
"How about you guys? Any thoughts? It's fine if you all wish to remain in the City of Ancient Emperors." Qin Wentian stared at the others.
"Zi Daoyang has died and Mo Xie has departed. The top ten positions in the Immortal Ascension Rankings are already fixed, so there are no more reasons for me to remain, " Jun Mengchen said, the others smiled in response to his words.
"In that case, then okay, we will head to the transference area tomorrow and return to the immortal realms." Qin Wentian nodded."Let's go back and rest for now."
The others nodded and they all departed respectively. During the second day, Qin Wentian summoned the experts of the Qin Sect and told them about his plans to leave the city. The experts of the Qin Sect weren't too surprised by his decision.
"Brother Qin, in the future when we meet again in the immortal realms, please don't treat me as a stranger." An expert smiled.
"Even after we leave the City of Ancient Emperors, if we were to meet out there in the immortal realms and if all of you are still willing to be friends with I, Qin, then we'll still be brothers." Qin Wentian spoke with an air of heroism.
"Good. Haha, let's hope we'll still have opportunities to fight side by side then." Another expert smiled. Qin Wentian glanced at Xu Ruxue."After we depart, the position of sect leader will be delegated to Xu Ruxue. The remaining brothers in the Qin Sect can discuss and vote on what direction the Qin Sect will take in the future."
Xu Ruxue stared at Qin Wentian and his companions, feeling waves rocking her heart. This group of people all exuded a magnificence that spanned across the generations. Even though they hadn't stayed here for very long, the entire City of Ancient Emperors would surely remember them.
"Everyone, farewell." Qin Wentian soared up into the air. His group climbed onto Qing`er's spatial leaf boat and waved to the experts of the Qin Sect. The experts of the Qin Sect inclined their heads and stared at their figures, waving back in farewell. A bright light flashed and the leaf boat instantly vanished as Qin Wentian's group departed.
"They left." Everyone sighed. There were countless geniuses in the immortal realms that came and went in the City of Ancient Emperors. Some of them would remain buried in the river of time, while a rare few would become characters whose names could shake the entire immortal realms.
"If that fellow doesn't die, he'll surely become a great power of a certain region." Li Yu gazed at the horizon. He was one of the first few to join the Qin Sect, and knew Qin Wentian and his companions from their time in the Xiao Sect. Qin Wentian's rate of improvement was just too terrifying; his future prospects were limitless.
"Let's hope that if we hear his name again a thousand years from now, he'll either be a king or an emperor of a region, " Xu Ruxue murmured.
Very swiftly the news spread around the City of Ancient Emperors, causing another wave of commotion.
The identity of Zi Daoyang's killer had already been ascertained; it was none other than Mo Xie. And last night, Mo Xie had also tried to kill Qin Wentian and his demonic beast companions, and had narrowly succeeded. In addition, it was discovered that Mo Xie had already established his immortal foundation and ascended to immortality.
Other than this, Qin Wentian and his companions—the upper echelons of the Qin Sect—had also departed the City of Ancient Emperors. From now on, their names would no longer be on the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Xuan Yang would most probably be boosted to the position of the #1 ranker.
However, this time around, nine out of the top ten rankers in the Immortal Ascension Rankings had all left at the same time. This was an unprecedented event, and the new top ten rankers would probably be the most inferior batch of all time in the City of Ancient Emperors.
At the eastern side of the City of Ancient Emperors, at the boundary of wilderness, there was a sea of destruction. This place was the location one had to go to in order to leave the City of Ancient Emperors.
Qin Wentian and the others had already arrived. Before them, terrifying dark clouds converged and a black-colored maelstrom could be seen in the middle of the sea. However, before the sea there was an ancient-looking building that flowed with law energy and within that building, numerous arrays of spatial transference could be seen. Immortal-foundation experts would be immediately sent out by the law energy of the city, but ascendants who wished to leave had to come to this place no matter what.
"Let's enter the building, " said Nanfeng Yunxi. After which, their group advanced forward, stopping before the arrays of spatial transference. There were a total of nine arrays, all scattered in different directions.
"These arrays will send you guys to different locations. It's rumored that this place was built by the ancient emperors and it's a one-way teleportation, able to span countless miles and boundless regions. My Southern Phoenix Clan is located in the southern part of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. I will be getting on that particular array. How about you guys?" Nanfeng Yunxi pointed to an array as she spoke.
Qin Wentian looked at Qing`er, only to hear her ask quietly, "Will you accompany me back to the Evergreen Immortal Empire?"
Staring at Qing`er's beautiful countenance, Qin Wentian smiled and nodded his head. He held her hand and replied, "Mhm, I will accompany you."
"How about the rest of you?" Qin Wentian turned his gaze towards Jun Mengchen, Hua Taixu, and the rest.
"I wish to visit my master, " Hua Taixu replied.
"Senior Brother, you're going to pay your respects to your future father-in-law. In that case, me and Senior Sister Qingxuan won't disturb you two. We will return first." Jun Mengchen laughed. Qin Wentian glared at him. Of course, he understood where Jun Mengchen and Zi Qingxuan would be going next. Most probably, they would be heading back to the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
"The Evergreen Immortal Empire is located in the same region as the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures. You guys can stand on the same array, and split up when you get there." Nanfeng Yunxi pointed to another array as she spoke.
There were only nine arrays here and it was impossible for them to be connected to every place in the immortal realms. From a broader perspective, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures belonged to the same region.
"Okay, let's move out." Qin Wentian nodded his head. A moment later, Nanfeng Yunxi moved onto her array while Qin Wentian and the others stood on the other. Traces of law energy descended, activating the power of the spatial transference, and instantly, a bright light flashed amidst thunderous rumbling sounds. Qin Wentian felt like they were in the middle of a field of terrifying flashing runes, akin to the end of the world.
"What a fearsome array of spatial transference, " Qin Wentian said quietly.
"This is a grand array of spatial transference that can span countless miles. It's only natural for it to feel so powerful, " Nanfeng Yunxi explained, glancing at them."Let's meet each other once more in the future, should fate decree it."
"Nanfeng Yunxi, goodbye!" Qin Wentian called out. The boundless runic glow enveloped them, and intense spatial fluctuations rumbled the space as the color of the skies changed. An instant later, all of them vanished completely from the area.
...
The Evergreen Immortal Empire spanned countless miles, and Everpeace City was one of its largest main cities. A regiment of powerful troops were stationed at the city, and they guarded the eastern side of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
Everpeace City was extremely prosperous and had countless experts. It could be considered the hegemon of this region within the empire. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor bestowed the title of Everpeace Marquis to the immortal general stationed to guard this place. This man was also an extremely powerful immortal king character that aided the Evergreen Immortal Emperor when fighting for his empire.
At this moment, in the airspace of the Everpeace City, a strong gust of wind billowed, accompanied by intense spatial fluctuations. Countless people tilted their heads upwards, only to see quite a few figures seemingly materialize out of nowhere. Naturally, these people were none other than Qin Wentian and his companions.
The eyes of Qin Wentian and his companions flashed as they stared at the city below. The powerful array of spatial transference wasn't very precise; it would only transfer them in the general vicinity of a preset location. Hence, it was possible to appear anywhere within the region that array was connected to.
"What a powerful spatial storm. Who are these people?" The experts below started questioning their arrival out of curiosity.
Upon noticing the experts, Qin Wentian stated, "Let's go down and ask for some directions." Within moments, their group descended. Jun Mengchen looked at one of the local experts and asked, "Sir, may I know what this place is?"
"You guys came here using a spatial transference array?" the person curiously inquired.
"Mhm, but we have no idea where it teleported us to." Jun Mengchen grinned.
"Oh, I see. This is the Everpeace City, " that expert replied.
"Everpeace City... what power governs this place?" Jun Mengchen continued to ask. That expert rolled his eyes, "This is one of the main cities of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. The head of the major power that governs this place is a person named the Everpeace Marquis."
"We've actually arrived in the Evergreen Immortal Empire." Jun Mengchen's eyes brightened, turning back to glance at Qin Wentian and Qing`er."Seems like your luck is pretty good."
"Everpeace City is still a distance away from my home, but the city lord's manor should possess an array of spatial transference connecting to it, " Qing`er said quietly. Qin Wentian nodded, "In that case, shall we head to the city lord's manor right away?"
"Mhm, " Qing`er nodded. Given her status, there would naturally be no problem if she wanted to use that array.
"Since that's the case... Senior Brother, Senior Sister Qingxuan, and I will return first, " said Jun Mengchen. Since Qin Wentian and Qing`er were going to meet the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, they naturally didn't want to disturb them.
"Senior Brother, good luck!" Jun Mengchen smiled, immediately stepping out with Zi Qingxuan as he waved a hand."Bye!"
"I will make a move first, too. Let's bid our farewells here, " said Hua Taixu. Qin Wentian nodded and said, "Take care."
Qin Wentian had Little Rascal in his embrace, and Purgatory returned back to his bloodstream. In his place, only he and Qing`er remained. The two of them shared a look as they moved out together. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered with a little nervousness—he didn't know how the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would regard him!
