The people of the Wan Clan left, bringing with them a sense of longing and anticipation as they left with desolation and sorrow.
However, no one cared about their existence. In this world, the people only cared about those characters who were at the peak of the clouds. For example, Beiming Nongyue, Li Yufeng, Qin Wentian and the fairies of the Jadestage Palace.
For these people who sat before the thrones and drank wine, every single word and action of theirs was far more eye-catching compared to the life and death of the Wan Clan.
"That young woman sitting beside Qin Wentian seems to be from the Wan Clan as well. She is very beautiful, just like a character from a painting. Her beauty is unique and unique, and her judgement must be very good. She didn't look down on Qin Wentian like the others in the Wan Clan but chose to stand beside Qin Wentian instead. Her father is the same as well, hence she obtained the friendship of Qin Wentian and is able to sit together with the princess. How glorious is that?"
"That old man from the Wan Clan seems to be a little nervous. Haha, but what sort of characters are the Saint Child and the princess? Even if they have ordinary statuses, because they are friends of Qin Wentian, they still treat them with respect, unlike Mu Qiu and Duanmu who are so domineering. These are the true arrogant people. They wouldn't flaunt their arrogance before the weak."
Everyone present was discussing fervently. The battle just now had become the topic of everyone's discussion.
On the banquet platform before the throne, Beiming Nongyue smiled at Qin Wentian, "Brother Qin, since you came to my Hokage Sengoku Kingdom this time around, after your cultivation in the Darknorth Immortal Mountain ends, you must definitely pay a visit to my royal palace. Let me show you my hospitality."
"Since Li Yufeng is here, why would I go to the royal palace to join in the liveliness? Wouldn't I be spoiling your plans?" Qin Wentian teased.
"I'm not like Brother Qin. After all, I'm not as powerful as Brother Qin, only at the immortal-foundation realm yet I already obtained the permission of the Jadestage Immortal Emperor to betroth the princess to you." Li Yufeng smiled and looked at Qin Wentian. He raised his cup and said, "Speaking of which, I still have to give a toast to Brother Qin. Congratulations."
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed as he stared at Li Yufeng with some surprise. The Hundred Refinements Sect was located in the Northern regions while the Evergreen Kingdom was located in the Eastern regions. It was unknown how far apart they were but Li Yufeng actually knew about this matter. Seems like the major powers of the immortal realms were all paying attention to the movements of the various powers.
"Yeah, let's toast to Brother Qin." Beiming Nongyue also smiled.
"Brother Qin and Princess Qing`er have already been betrothed by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor? This is truly a joyous matter." Shen Yuehua similarly raised her cup, her eyes gleaming with amorous light as she cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian.
"In that case, I, Qin, will have to thank everyone." Qin Wentian wasn't polite, he smiled and drank the wine in his cup.
Wan Zhuqing had always been very restrained. But when he heard Li Yufeng's words, his eyes flashed as a sense of disappointment flashed in his heart. Although there was no reason for this disappointment, when he saw how illustrious Qin Wentian was before this, he couldn't help but think back to the words he said back then. How good would it be if the two of them could be together?
A bitter smile appeared on his face. Wan Zhuqing tossed aside this unrealistic fantasy. Seems like he was thinking too much. Princess Nongyue of the Hokage Sengoku Kingdom and the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect had such a high evaluation of Qin Wentian, treating him as a good friend. What sort of character was he? How could there be no women who liked him? How could his identity be simple?
And as expected, when he heard that Qin Wentian was going to marry a princess, and it was even betrothed by the Great Emperor, Wan Zhuqing couldn't help but sigh. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that the young man he met back then would be so illustrious. Back then, he was somewhat disappointed because Qin Wentian wasn't an immortal king. But now, from the looks of it, how could an ordinary immortal king compare to Qin Wentian?
"Which country's princess is your fiancée from? I wonder if I've heard of her name before." Zhiyin smiled as she stared at Qin Wentian. Her expression was as calm as ever, as tranquil as ever.
"Very far away, the Evergreen Kingdom in the eastern regions of the immortal realms." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice to Zhiyin.
"This princess of the Evergreen Kingdom must be very beautiful, right?" Zhiyin mumbled.
"Mhm, very beautiful." Qin Wentian thought of Qing'er as a warm smile flashed in his eyes. But after that, he felt that it wasn't too good to praise his fiancée in front of a beauty. Hence, he smiled again, "Zhiyin, you are very beautiful as well."
"Thank you." Zhiyin casually smiled. Li Yufeng smiled as he stared at the two of them, an expression of interest could be seen on his face.
"Brother Qin, when do you plan to marry Princess Qing'er?" Li Yufeng asked.
"I haven't thought of it yet. Let's break through to the immortal king realm first. After all, immortal-foundation is simply too weak in the immortal realms." Qin Wentian shook his head lightly.
"That's the truth. Although you are already standing at the peak of immortal-foundation, as long as you haven't broken through to the immortal king realm, you are still very weak in the vast immortal realms. However, I believe that once you break through to the immortal king realm, you would instantly experience a huge leap, directly transforming from a weakling to an expert. Ordinary immortal kings wouldn't be your opponent." Li Yufeng seriously smiled. Qin Wentian's combat prowess was something everyone in the Tiandao Sacred Academy knew about.
"It's still too early to speak of this. After all, breaking through to the immortal king realm isn't a simple matter. I hope that the Darknorth Immortal Mountain would be of some help to my cultivation." Qin Wentian laughed.
"Haha, that's right. It's just that in the future when Brother Qin marries Princess Qing'er, if I have time, I might invite you for a cup of wedding wine. I hope Brother Qin wouldn't mind, right?"
"You are naturally more than welcome." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Mhm, me as well. If I have time, I will definitely head there as well." Beiming Nongyue smiled.
"The two of you, stop talking about me. Maybe, you two came earlier than me." Qin Wentian stared at the lovey-dovey couple as he spoke. During the banquet, one's status would determine whether they would have the chance to sit together. But as for one's personality, it would determine if they could become friends or not. Qin Wentian admired the personalities of Li Yufeng and Beiming Nongyue. He naturally wouldn't mind having a few more friends.
Zhiyin quietly sat there with a smile on her face. Wan Zhuqing naturally didn't have the chance to interrupt and was extremely restrained. Although Beiming Nongyue and the others didn't mind, he still couldn't control his nervousness. Naturally, there was also a faint sense of pride. He had lived for so many years but he had never enjoyed such treatment before. Maybe, there wouldn't be a second time in this lifetime.
"Brother Qin, I will go and handle the matter of entering the immortal mountain first." As they chatted, Beiming Nongyue glanced at the crowd and spoke in a light voice. Qin Wentian nodded his head, "Princess Nongyue, just go ahead and do what you need to do. I will drink more wine with Li Yufeng."
"Mhm." Beiming Nongyue nodded to the fairies of the Jadestage Sect, Zhiyin and the others. After that, she stood up and walked to the throne, staring at everyone as she waved her hands. After that, the crowd gradually quietened down as they stared at the throne, waiting for Beiming Nongyue to speak.
"Everyone, you all came from all directions of my dynasty, but you didn't come here just to see me, Beiming Nongyue. Hence, I don't wish to waste too much of your time." Beiming Nongyue joked, her words causing many people to laugh. In fact, there were even some who jeered, "I'm indeed here to see Princess Nongyue."
Upon hearing the commotion, Beiming Nongyue raised her hand as everyone quietened down. Qin Wentian silently mused at this scene, silently musing that Beiming Nongyue was as expected of a princess of the immortal dynasty. She naturally had a unique charm to her. Just a casual joke was enough to pull the distance between her and everyone closer.
"However, there are still some words I have to say. The Darknorth Immortal Mountain is a holy land for cultivation in our dynasty but the area is limited after all. If too many people enter at the same time, it would be easy for them to disturb each other. Hence, no matter which time it is, there would always be a limit to the number of people who can enter. I hope that for those who failed to enter, don't feel resentment in your hearts. If there's a chance in the future, you can still come back and try again."
Beiming Nongyue continued. Everyone nodded their heads lightly. The strong would enter while the weak would stay behind. Everyone could understand this point.
"Those who can enter the mountain should have at least peak-level immortal-foundation combat prowess. I will set up a barrier at the entrance of the mountain behind me. The barrier is an army of puppets created by my dynasty. As long as you can break through the puppets and enter the mountain, it would mean that you can cultivate in the Darknorth Immortal Mountain. However, there's a rule. Those who can soar through the air must not exceed a height of ten thousand meters." Beiming Nongyue spoke.
As the sound of her voice faded, there were experts who moved towards her back. After that, one of them released an incomparably powerful treasure. In an instant, numerous silhouettes appeared in the air, densely packed together. In the blink of an eye, a terrifying army of puppets appeared there, guarding the entrance of the immortal mountain.
"Alright, everyone can make your preparations." Beiming Nongyue spoke. After that, Li Yufeng, Qin Wentian and the others also stood up and stepped out into the air. Rumbling sounds rang out as the throne and staircase sank into the ground. It was as though there was a powerful formation here.
"Let's go to the back." Beiming Nongyue spoke. The few of them nodded and retreated, emptying the space. Qin Wentian stared at the army of puppets. They actually formed a gigantic formation, resembling a gigantic black net that blotted out the sun. The net descended from the sky, completely sealing the entrance. Within this formation, there was a puppet guarding each location.
"What level of strength do I need to have to break through?" Qin Wentian asked.
"As long as one breaks through to the immortal king realm, there shouldn't be any problems. These puppets all have peak-level immortal-foundation combat prowess and are connected by a formation. It's useless to surround them. One has to break through the defenses of the puppets individually." Beiming Nongyue spoke. Qin Wentian nodded his head. Although there were countless people here, the number of people who could truly enter the Darknorth Immortal Mountain wouldn't be too many.
"Brother Qin, are you in a hurry to enter? If you are, why don't you and Zhiyin enter first?" Beiming Nongyue asked.
"It's better for me and Qin Wentian to pass the test and enter as well. Otherwise, the others might say something bad about the Princess." Zhiyin gently spoke, extremely understanding. Beiming Nongyue glanced at her, a look of admiration could be seen in her eyes. Although she wouldn't mind such a small matter, Zhiyin was able to think for her sake. Evidently, her character wasn't bad. Ordinary people would naturally feel proud that the Princess of Beiming Nongyue opened the back door for them.
"Zhiyin is right. If we want to enter, let's directly enter through the formation." Qin Wentian smiled. He didn't mind. Since they came here, they might as well take a look at the formation first before entering. It wouldn't take too long.
"Mhm, that's fine as well. You guys can enter together then." Beiming Nongyue smiled and nodded.
