Qin Wentian flew on his sword, exiting the Coldnether Immortal City. Since he has already been exposed, he shouldn't stay here for long. In addition, he had no way to predict the attitude of the Snowdrift Sage Hall. After all, he had killed two holy maidens and the Snowdrift Sage Hall was a peak power. It wasn't impossible for them to vent their anger on him.
Right now, Qin Wentian was already at the mid-stage of the immortal king realm. His combat prowess had already surpassed his cultivation level. His demon sword was like a great roc, moving as fast as lightning.
During these several months, Qin Wentian passed by several cities and obtained a detailed jade map from one of the cities. The various major regions of the Central Regions were marked out clearly and there were even descriptions of the emperor-ranked powers and above in the Central Regions. Not only for the peak powers, there were also descriptions of the powers established by initial-stage immortal emperors. The value of this map was extremely high, but Qin Wentian felt that it was worth the price he spent.
The Central Regions of the immortal realms were extremely vast and experts were as common as the clouds. If one didn't include the Myriad Devil Islands and Desolate Mountains, the Central Regions was the largest region with the highest number of major powers.
Qin Wentian could use the spatial tunnel to leave this place but he didn't. He needed to temper himself eventually. That ambush on the ancient pathway on the Demongod Mountain caused Qin Wentian to feel an intense sense of danger. He had to grow stronger to be able to deal with all sorts of unexpected dangers. If not, even immortal emperors might not be able to protect him.
For this trip, Qin Wentian's target was the City of Ancient Emperors. Along the way, he would be tempering himself.
During these days, Qin Wentian had also witnessed many strange things, as well as many battles and massacres.
Today, in an ancient tribe outside the city, screams of misery rang out. Over there, a powerful evil cultivator could be seen. Boundless black qi gushed forth from him, gushing towards the people in the tribe. The black qi circulated frenziedly within the bodies of the people, absorbing their essence, qi, and spirit. After that, the black qi flowed into the body of the black-robed figure in the air.
The entire tribe was in a state of destruction. An old man and a young girl were madly fleeing outside the tribe. They didn't dare to soar into the air for fear of being noticed.
However at this moment, the black qi gushed over. The young girl screamed, "Grandpa, the devil qi is here!"
"You go first." The old man suddenly turned around and ran towards the black Qi. The girl screamed and cried, "Grandpa!"
"Let's go." The old man shouted madly. The black air current struck out like black lightning, vaguely transforming into a dark face, swallowing the old man.
The old man's aura surged, but he knew he couldn't block it at all. A look of despair appeared on his face.
At this moment, a sword came from the west. The sword whistled through the air and directly pierced through the sky. With a soft sound, the sword pierced through the face formed by the dark Qi and directly caused it to explode. The old man's eyes narrowed. He raised his head and saw a figure flying over from afar. He was like a celestial being, with peerless elegance.
"Grandpa." The girl ran to the old man's side and shouted into the void: "Senior, please save us."
"Do you wish to meddle in other people's business?" From afar, in the tribe, that evil cultivator turned his gaze over, staring at Qin Wentian with coldness in his eyes. His cultivation base was extremely powerful, he was actually at the immortal king realm.
"Your cultivation methods are too cruel. You shouldn't exist in this world." As the sound of Qin Wentian's voice faded, the demon sword slashed out explosively. It was like a great roc, slashing through the air towards that evil cultivator. The evil cultivator's evil qi transformed into a black dragon that howled in rage. However, the sword light of the great roc was incomparably resplendent, directly penetrating through everything, destroying the black dragon.
The demon sword slashed out horizontally, breaking apart the void. In the air, an incomparably resplendent beam of sword light appeared. With a light sound, that evil cultivator stared at Qin Wentian in terror before his body exploded, directly dying.
The sword returned, landing before Qin Wentian's feet.
"Many thanks to senior for saving our lives." The old man knelt on the ground. The young girl stared at Qin Wentian with shock and gratitude. The others in the tribe also knelt to express their gratitude.
"It's nothing much." Qin Wentian shook his head. After that, he soared on his sword and departed, he couldn't bear to accept their kowtow.
The immortal realms were too vast, it was impossible for him to use his entire life's worth of effort to eradicate evil cultivators. He could only do his best when he encountered them.
After a few more days, Qin Wentian came to a demon kingdom. This demon kingdom was a world of demons, a place established by a demon emperor. He governed this area and gathered many greater demons in this demon kingdom. Ancient trees towered up into the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see.
At this moment, in the outer regions of the demon kingdom, a group of young Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants came here to temper themselves. There were both males and females in this group, all of them came from minor clans and clans. They had chosen to join a sect for their cultivation and came here to temper themselves.
On the way here, they slew many demonic beasts and even collected the corpses of the demonic beasts. These were all treasures that were extremely valuable.
"That should be enough. If we continue, it would be extremely dangerous." Someone spoke.
"Don't worry, let's kill some more demonic beasts. We originally came here for tempering ourselves, what's there to be afraid of?" Someone suggested. Although there were some who were unwilling, they still continued to advance. They found a nest of golden demonic apes and initially prepared to retreat, but they discovered that a golden demonic ape was actually giving birth. Hence, they gathered their courage and advanced, killing their way over and killing the demonic ape, preparing to split the demonic beast's corpse.
But at this moment, a heaven-shaking roar of rage rang out from afar. A terrifying golden demonic ape appeared, slaughtering all of them. That person who instigated them to come here was the fastest to escape. At the same time, there was also a female who fled together with him. However, she was already heavily injured.
That young man felt that he would be a burden to them. He actually had evil intentions in his heart. Staring at the graceful figure of the female, an evil smile appeared on his face as he walked over.
"What are you doing?" That female couldn't move freely and had injuries on her body. When she saw the look in his eyes, she felt her entire body turning cold.
"Yan`er, it's inconvenient to bring you along. Rather than dying in the hands of demonic beasts, why don't you help me achieve my goal?" The young man laughed evilly. As the sound of his voice faded, a beam of sword light descended, directly slaying him.
The female's expression froze. She inclined her head and saw an extraordinary silhouette standing in the air.
"Many thanks to senior for saving my life." The female spoke with gratitude.
The young man continued forward, yet the female spoke, "Senior, can you bring me along with you?"
"Since you made your own choice, you have to bear the consequences yourself. If it wasn't for the fact that this person was too despicable, I wouldn't even bother to act." A cold voice rang out. Qin Wentian continued on his way. He had witnessed everything that happened earlier and had no sympathy for those who died.
Qin Wentian continued on his way, advancing through the demonic beast forest. But at this moment, he halted his steps and spoke, "Come out."
As the sound of his voice faded, a golden bird appeared. In an instant, light illuminated the area. This was a golden bird, a variant of the Golden-Winged Great Roc. Its ancestor had the bloodline of the Golden-Winged Great Roc in his veins.
"You ate that Golden Ape?" Qin Wentian stared at the golden bird as he asked. A human killed the female ape and the demonic ape took revenge by killing the human. As for himself, he died in the hands of an even more powerful demonic beast. This was the law of the jungle and was also the epitome of the immortal realms. It was just that in this place, it was even more straightforward.
"Bzz!" The golden bird opened its beak and let out a shrill cry. In just an instant, boundless golden lightning shot towards Qin Wentian. Golden swords filled the sky, slicing the ancient tree into pieces.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian's body shimmered with light. The golden swords unceasingly slammed into him but he remained unmoved. The golden bird suddenly rushed out with lightning speed, radiating a resplendent golden light. It transformed into a gigantic bird, its sharp talons slashing towards Qin Wentian. Its eyes were filled with loftiness, exuding the aura of a Golden-Winged Great Roc.
Qin Wentian lifted his palms and pressed down. A moment later, a sword manifested, causing a terrifying collision in the air. The body of the Golden Bird shone with an even more intense golden light, yet its body was unceasingly penetrated by the sword qi. It turned and wanted to flee, but Qin Wentian grabbed out with his palm, directly grabbing it, causing it to have no way to escape.
"Bzz, bzz …" A group of immortal kings flew over. One of them clasped his hands to Qin Wentian, "I'm from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect and have been pursuing this golden bird for many days. It's just that its speed is too fast and I have no way to catch up to it. To think that you managed to intercept it. Can I request for you to make a deal with me? I will definitely not let you suffer a loss."
"Blackmetal Emperor Sect." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. This time around, he would pass by a city on his way there and the Blackmetal Emperor Sect was one of them.
"You want to use it to forge weapons?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Seems like you know about my Blackmetal Emperor Sect. Truth be told, this golden bird is indeed a top-grade material for forging weapons." The young man nodded.
Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the depths of the forest. He sighed, "You guys hunt demonic beasts to forge weapons. From what I know, the demonic beasts here are all controlled by a demon emperor. Aren't you guys worried that the demon emperor would slaughter his way into the human world for revenge?"
As his cultivation grew stronger, his heart also grew more complicated when he saw the rise of the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
Demonic beasts and humans didn't have any intrinsic differences. Demonic beasts were cruel and tyrannical, but weren't humans as greedy and cruel as well?
"It's already destined that humans and demonic beasts are enemies. There's no way to change this. Even if we don't hunt demonic beasts, the demonic beasts would still come out to hunt humans for food. It's just that both sides don't want to touch each other's bottom line. It's rumored that many greater demons from the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range have already come out of their mountains and started to wreak havoc in the human world. They want to infiltrate the human world and right now, countless humans have already died under the hooves of the demonic beasts. Maybe, this is an innate enmity, there's no way to change this." That young man spoke.
Qin Wentian nodded. It was indeed as the young man had said.
"The demonic beasts from the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range have already come out?" Qin Wentian stared at the horizons as he mumbled.
"There's no problem for me to give this demonic beast to you. I don't need to exchange it for anything. Can you introduce some weaponsmiths to me from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect? I need them to forge a few divine weapons for me. Is that possible?" Qin Wentian asked.
"There's naturally no problem. I will introduce you to the most outstanding weaponsmiths I know to forge divine weapons for you. Since you have this intention, how about we head to the Blackmetal Emperor Sect together?" The young man smiled as he invited. Since Qin Wentian could capture this golden bird, his strength was definitely extraordinary. They had chased after it for so many days but they still couldn't capture it.
"Sure." Qin Wentian nodded.
