The two of them spoke in a reserved manner. But if one were to be more direct, he could say that the previous Saint Lords of your tribe have taken advantage of my Battle Saint Tribe and my Battle Saint Tribe still has to bear the risk. Qin Wentian replied that this was originally a transaction. No matter how many benefits I gain now, I will return even more in the future. I didn't take advantage of your Battle Saint Tribe at all. If you don't wish to follow me, I don't mind. I'll respect your choice but the future of the Battle Saint Tribe has nothing to do with me.
"How arrogant." The old man silently mused. After that, numerous figures flashed as many immortal kings arrived. They had been listening to the conversation here and all of them had different gazes when they stared at Qin Wentian.
"Senior, you guys can consider for two hours. I will wait outside. Whether or not you are willing to follow me, and how many experts are willing to follow me, junior will not interfere. I will respect the choice of the Battle Saint Tribe. However, there's one thing I want to remind you. If you choose to follow me, junior doesn't wish for any unhappiness to occur. Naturally, I will also respect those who are willing to follow me."
After Qin Wentian spoke, he turned and left. It was like he was really as indifferent as he said and would respect the choice of the Battle Saint Tribe!
After Qin Wentian left, the immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe exchanged mutual glances. The old man was stunned as well.
"This fellow is truly arrogant." An immortal king spoke in a low voice.
"Indeed, but his strength is also very powerful. If it's really like what he said, breaking through to the immortal king realm only a few years ago and cultivating for less than two hundred years, his talent is truly terrifying." Another immortal king spoke. "Such a person would naturally be arrogant. Before this, the tribe leader initially wanted to make him feel that he owed the Battle Saint Tribe. Clearly, he was extremely unhappy in his heart and felt that it wouldn't affect him if the people of our tribe chose to follow him or not."
"What do you guys think?" The tribe leader glanced at everyone. The people here were all immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe. At this level, they already had the ability to shake the heavens and earth and have lived for many years. Wanting them to be like the immortal-foundation experts who were willing to follow Qin Wentian willingly was naturally much more difficult.
After all, many of the people here were at a higher realm than Qin Wentian.
"I'm used to being unrestrained. I can't accept being ordered around like this," a Celestial King said with a smile, indicating that he would not follow Qin Wentian.
"This is the order of our ancestors. Even if we wanted to change it, it would be difficult. If we refuse to follow him, it would be the same as missing out on this generation's Holy Lord. But if fate doesn't change and we have to follow a generation's Holy Lord, I think we shouldn't miss out on this child."
"Indeed, for him to be able to say what he said earlier, it means that he is very ambitious and has very strong confidence."
People expressed their opinions one after another. Some were unhappy with Qin Wentian, while others thought that he was worth following.
However, for those who felt that Qin Wentian was worth following, there were also those who didn't want to follow him. After all, they had their own pride and earlier, Qin Wentian's words were very absolute. As long as they followed him, they would have to listen to all of his orders. In this matter, he was extremely domineering.
That clan leader listened to the opinions of everyone. After that, he spoke, "Summon all the immortal kings out there back as well. Since you all put it this way, I will respect your choices. For those who are willing to follow him, go ahead. For those who aren't, stay behind. This is your choice."
Everyone nodded. At this moment, Qin Wentian walked out of this space and stood outside the great hall. Before he came here, he already guessed that this trip wouldn't be as smooth as the first world. Hence, he directly broke through the barrier and revealed his strength before the experts of the Battle Saint Tribe.
Reality was just like what he had guessed. Wanting immortal kings to follow him willingly wasn't an easy matter. But he also wouldn't force them, allowing the Battle Saint Tribe to make their own decision.
Time flowed by bit by bit. Qin Wentian only gave them two hours. He had no way to ascertain what choice the Battle Saint Tribe would make but he would accept it no matter what.
During these two hours, more people came by, walking past Qin Wentian. All of them were powerful characters at the immortal king realm.
Even before the two hours were up, the tribe leader of the Battle Saint Tribe walked out.
"Has the tribe leader made a decision?" Qin Wentian smiled.
"Saint Lord." That tribe leader called out, his words causing a faint smile to appear in Qin Wentian's eyes.
"Saint Lord, there are still many experts of our tribe who are out tempering themselves and have yet to return. What I can tell you now is that there will be many immortal kings who will follow you back. But as for the exact number, we still have to wait for the people of our tribe to return before we can be sure. Saint Lord, can you wait for a few more days?" Qin Wentian spoke.
Qin Wentian thought for a moment before he smiled and nodded. It was true that it was impossible for all the immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe to gather within the tribe.
"Since this is the case, I will roam around the second world. Tribe leader, give me a deadline and I will return by then." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Seven days. Saint Lord, you don't have to go out. I can get the people of the Battle Saint Palace to accompany you." The tribe leader spoke.
"That's fine as well." Qin Wentian nodded. Since the people of the Battle Saint Tribe were willing to follow him, he naturally didn't want to be too unfamiliar with them. He might as well stay in the Battle Saint Palace. In any case, seven days would pass in the blink of an eye.
"Saint Lord, please follow me." The mid-stage immortal king who fought against Qin Wentian earlier walked over. He stretched his hand out and gestured to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded and stepped out, heading towards the various palaces of the Battle Saint Palace.
"Saint Lord, my name is Qi Yuan." The immortal king beside him spoke. "Saint Lord, are you still angry because of the tribe leader's words?"
Qin Wentian shook his head, "Not really. The tribe leader didn't say anything wrong. I can understand what the tribe leader is thinking."
Qi Yuan started, feeling bewildered at Qin Wentian's calmness. Seems like Qin Wentian could see things clearly and was very calm.
"You don't have to worry about my opinion of the Battle Saint Tribe. I've already said that I will respect the tribe leader's choice. I will do what I should do, why would I care about a sentence from the tribe leader?" Qin Wentian smiled, dispelling Qi Yuan's doubts.
"Saint Lord's state of heart is extraordinary." Qi Yuan nodded. After that, he brought Qin Wentian to a residence and spoke, "Saint Lord, you can temporarily rest in this residence for a few days. I will pass down the instructions. If Saint Lord has any requests, you just need to issue the command. Saint Lord can also roam around the Battle Saint Palace as you wish."
"Okay." Qin Wentian nodded. After that, Qi Yuan retreated and passed down the instructions. A moment later, the entire Battle Saint Palace was shaken. That young man who came to challenge the Battle Saint Palace not only didn't receive any punishment, he even became an esteemed guest and enjoyed extremely good treatment.
Those young men and women who came earlier all felt bewildered in their hearts, not knowing what was going on exactly. Could it be because he chose to join the Battle Saint Palace?
During these seven days, Qin Wentian didn't go out. He quietly cultivated while waiting for news from the Battle Saint Tribe.
Until seven days later, the tribe leader personally led over ten experts to the residence where Qin Wentian was at.
"Tribe leader." Qin Wentian glanced at the experts before him. Other than the tribe leader of the Battle Saint Tribe, there were a total of thirty-six others. Each of them was at the immortal king realm and their auras were retracted. Their eyes gleamed like lightning.
"Saint Lord." The tribe leader nodded. After that, the immortal kings all nodded to Qin Wentian as well, "Saint Lord."
Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian's heart was as clear as a mirror. He knew that these people were all immortal kings who were willing to leave with him. A smile appeared on his face.
Thirty-six immortal kings and all of them were elites of the Battle Saint Tribe. This was definitely a terrifying force.
"Saint Lord's combat prowess is sufficient to contend against mid-stage immortal-foundation experts. Hence, the thirty-six immortal kings of the Battle Saint Tribe are all specially selected by my tribe. Their cultivation bases are all at the mid-stage or peak-stage. Among them, there are three who already stood at the peak of the immortal king realm." The tribe leader spoke to Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian nodded his head silently. Seems like the Battle Saint Tribe leader wanted to make up for what happened back then. The number of experts selected this time around had already exceeded his expectations.
The thirty-six of them were all at the mid-stage or peak-stage of immortal-foundation.
"There are also initial-stage immortal kings who wish to follow Saint Lord. However, I feel that even if they join forces, they wouldn't be able to win against Saint Lord. Hence, I didn't plan to allow them to follow you. Naturally, if Saint Lord needs them, I can allow them to follow you." The tribe leader continued.
"I have a suggestion." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Saint Lord, please speak." The tribe leader spoke.
"There are many immortal kings in the second world of the Battle Saint Tribe. If there are initial-stage immortal kings who wish to leave, there's no need for them to assist me. The world outside is extremely vast, there are many worlds outside the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms that I have never been to before. It might not be a bad idea to allow some of them who wish to roam the world outside. There's a reason for Tribe Leader to be worried. If there really is a major change, at the very least, there's still the bloodline of the Battle Saint Tribe in the outside world." Qin Wentian spoke.
The eyes of the tribe leader flashed. After that, he nodded his head lightly, "Saint Lord's words are logical. I will seek their opinions and let them decide for themselves. If they wish to leave, let them follow Saint Lord to the outside world."
"Right, Tribe Leader can make the arrangements. Everyone, please stay here temporarily." Qin Wentian spoke. Everyone nodded as the tribe leader departed.
"To everyone, Wentian can be considered a junior. Since everyone is willing to follow me, I will do my best to help all of you to increase your strength and reach new heights. Follow me." Qin Wentian spoke as he walked towards the cultivation grounds. Everyone had looks of curiosity on their faces as they followed after Qin Wentian.
After that, Qin Wentian took out a treasured cauldron and allowed the experts to enter. Given the talent of the Battle Saint Tribe, there shouldn't be a problem for them to undergo the baptism of the Sacred Luminance.
Qin Wentian stayed here, waiting for them to undergo the tempering of the Sacred Luminance. With such an army of immortal-kings following him, he hoped that he could forge them into a truly powerful immortal-king army. It would be best if they could grow together with him in the future, stepping into an even higher cultivation realm.
After staying in the Battle Saint Palace for a period of time, everyone exited the cauldron after undergoing the baptism of the Sacred Luminance. The Battle Saint Tribe Leader had also chosen those who wanted to head out to temper themselves. Qin Wentian then led the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe back.
