The eyes of the crowd flashed with bewilderment. Earlier, that peak-stage immortal king actually managed to shatter Yan Luotian's palm attack with a single strike. Although he borrowed the force of the palm attack, such a unique ability was extremely powerful, able to assimilate law energy and was extremely profound.
The Saber-Sword Immortal King had many enemies, but he also had many friends. The Namhwang Clan was also on good terms with him. However, after offending the supreme crown prince and some peak-stage greater demons, it would be hard for him to have a foothold in the City of Ancient Emperors.
"To think that we failed to kill him." The experts from the Nine Emperors Immortal State all had unsightly expressions on their faces. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was a supreme enemy to them. Even the strongest character in their Nine Emperors Immortal State, Huang Jiutian, was defeated by him. Both sides already had a death grudge. If the Saber-Sword Immortal King didn't die, their Nine Emperors Immortal State's humiliation would never end.
Everyone knew that the Saber-Sword Immortal King had killed many people from their Nine Emperors Immortal State.
Naturally, there were also experts from the Supreme Sword School and Taihua Immortal Dynasty. They were all extremely depressed that the Saber-Sword Immortal King actually managed to escape.
However, those peak characters didn't have too much of a reaction. They turned their gazes away and continued to comprehend the dao elements raining down from the sky.
In a certain direction, an extraordinary figure sat cross-legged in the air. Boundless buddhic light radiated from him, as though he had an indestructible golden body. Countless buddhic runes floated around him, exuding a dignified aura, like a supreme ancient buddha, able to inherit the great dao of the heavens and earth.
"It's actually him." The eyes of many flashed as they stared at that figure.
"I didn't expect this. Many major powers, including the Askheart Temple, have yet to obtain the power of a dao element. Yet, this man actually managed to do so before them. However, it's true that he's extraordinary and is one of the strongest characters in the City of Ancient Emperors.
"I've long heard that one of the three major powers of the Southern Regions, the Jiang Clan, is low-profile. This Jiang Zihua's magnificence is unparalleled and he might be the future leader of the Jiang Clan. It's rumored that the ancestor of the Jiang Clan was a buddhist monk. After that, he saw through the buddhist dao and returned to the secular world, becoming a peak power that has existed until now."
"Looks like the Buddhist Techniques passed down by the Jiang Clan aren't inferior to those Buddhist Sects." Many people sighed with emotion and were rather shocked in their hearts.
As for Qin Wentian and the others, Tuoba Saintsky used the power of the void to traverse the distance between them. In the blink of an eye, the group had already arrived on an extremely distant mountain peak.
"Senior Brother, why is there a need to be so powerful? Why don't you just start a war with that bastard crown prince?" Jun Mengchen said to Tuoba Saintsky, feeling a little angry.
Given Tuoba Saintsky's strength, in addition to borrowing the law energy of everyone in the Heavenly Talisman Realm, his combat prowess would definitely be extremely terrifying. There was no need for him to care about that arrogant and despotic crown prince.
"Don't you see those big demons staring at us like tigers eyeing their prey? There are also people from the Nine Emperors Immortal State and people from the Purple Mountain. They are guarding at the side, ready to attack at any time. Once a group battle breaks out, the consequences will be out of control." Tuoba Saintsky spoke. Clearly, he was considering the overall situation. He also knew that the Saber-Sword Immortal King's true identity was Qin Wentian and naturally knew who the Saber-Sword Immortal King had offended. Zi Daolong died in his hands, there was no doubt that the people from the Purple Mountain were here for revenge.
"Damn it, if he reached the peak-stage of the immortal king realm, master …" Jun Mengchen wanted to call out Qin Wentian as his senior brother but he suddenly shut his mouth. "How can the Saber-Sword Immortal King be defeated by that Yama King? That fellow merely relied on his cultivation base at the peak-stage of the immortal king realm to bully others. If I'm at his level, I would definitely be able to kill him with a single punch."
"A defeat is a defeat. There's no need for you to console me." Qin Wentian casually smiled. He knew that Jun Mengchen was intentionally saying this to console him, telling him not to mind this defeat. How could this little thought be hidden from him? However, Qin Wentian underestimated him too much. How would he care about a defeat? He, Qin Wentian, has cultivated for so many years and was already an immortal king. But even so, his arrogance was so great that he could still afford to lose.
Jun Mengchen's little thoughts were seen through. He smiled. This caused many people from the Namhwang Clan and the Heavenly Talisman Realm to feel bewildered. When did Jun Mengchen become so familiar with the Saber-Sword Immortal King? It's just that they have traveled together, it shouldn't be to such an extent, right?
Also, earlier when the Saber-Sword Immortal King was trampled by the gigantic foot, Namhwang Yunxi's entire countenance changed. Her countenance turned pale as though she was in a daze. It was like the person who died was someone close to her.
Could it be that the charm of the Saber-Sword Immortal King was so great?
"Is that Yama King really so powerful?" Jun Mengchen asked. He was very familiar with Qin Wentian. Along the way, when hasn't Qin Wentian jumped levels to challenge others? Although he didn't personally witness it, he had heard of Qin Wentian's glory in the City of Ancient Emperors, killing over ten immortal kings, including peak-stage immortal kings. How impressive was that?
However, he was still defeated by the Yama King.
"The Yama King was directly conferred the title of crown prince among his many descendants. No one could contend against him. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful he is." Someone from the Namhwang Clan spoke. "In truth, there aren't many peak-stage immortal kings in the entire immortal realms. It's just that this time around, many of them suddenly appeared, all of them exuding boundless magnificence, gathering in the City of Ancient Emperors to welcome the arrival of the new era."
"Mhm, I heard that the Yama King's Asura Hell is infused with all sorts of astral souls, as well as secret arts from the Senluo Immortal Empire. Its might is boundless, and it has the ability to distort the laws."
The holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan naturally paid attention to such characters and knew a little about them.
"Mhm, the Asura Hell is a law domain of the Yama King. This law domain is already sufficient, containing all sorts of abilities. The most terrifying thing is just like what the holy maidens said, the ability to distort the laws. In there, we can only use the law energy in our bodies, we have no way to borrow the energy of the heavens and earth. This would undoubtedly greatly weaken the combat prowess of immortal kings, making it impossible for them to use their law domains."
Qin Wentian knew that when using a law domain, one had to use one's body as the starting point, using the energy of the heavens and earth to form a domain. If the laws were distorted, how could one use their law domains?
"In that case, we have to be careful of this fellow in the future." Jun Mengchen spoke.
"This fellow is extremely conceited and incomparably arrogant. If it wasn't for the Saber-Sword Immortal King taking advantage of Xu Qingyao, he wouldn't have acted at all. In the future, even if he encounters us, he might not do anything to us." The holy maidens of the Namhwang Clan spoke.
"The City of Ancient Emperors is already in chaos, there's no harm in being more cautious." Tuoba Saintsky spoke. "Saber-Sword Immortal King, what do you plan to do next? Why don't you come with us?"
"It's different. I'm already used to roaming the City of Ancient Emperors alone, searching for good fortune." Qin Wentian smiled as he rejected.
"What about your injuries?" Namhwang Yunxi felt a little worried.
"Don't worry about it, these minor injuries are nothing to me." Qin Wentian smiled, not minding it at all. Everyone could only nod their heads and after that, they split up. Qin Wentian continued to roam the City of Ancient Emperors, searching for good fortune.
Although he was defeated, his emperor's fate didn't diminish at all. It was still as resplendent as before, even more so than before. He fought against the supreme crown prince, Yama King, with a mid-stage immortal king cultivation base. Everyone was in awe of how strong the Saber-Sword Immortal King was. His emperor's fate grew stronger and stronger.
Relying on his emperor's fate, Qin Wentian encountered many good fortune as his strength improved bit by bit. That dao element had always existed in the City of Ancient Emperors. When the people of the immortal realms heard this news, a huge commotion shook the entire immortal realms. Experts all flocked to the City of Ancient Emperors, including immortal emperors.
Two years later, at the peak of a mountain, Qin Wentian stared at the horizons. During these two years, many changes occurred in the City of Ancient Emperors, giving birth to many good fortune. Countless experts who rushed to the City of Ancient Emperors benefited, and there were even many who managed to break through their bottlenecks, breaking through to the next level.
However, Qin Wentian still felt that the peak-stage of the immortal king realm was still very far away. The higher one cultivated, the harder it was to break through. Even if there were many good fortune, it was useless.
He stared at the dao element cascading down from the air. He believed that in the future, there might be more of it. However, he made a decision and decided to leave the City of Ancient Emperors.
"Being limited to a single world, it's hard to find good fortune." Qin Wentian mumbled. Although he might miss out on a great opportunity, so what of it? The dao element was merely something tossed over by the immortal realms. He believed that cultivation ultimately still depended on one's own insights.
As he thought of this, Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed as he left this place. The ancient mountain peak was empty. Just when all the powerful characters in the immortal realms were rushing to the City of Ancient Emperors, Qin Wentian silently left. Before he left, he went to take a look at Bai Qing, but he didn't reunite with her.
Qin Wentian knew that the phenomenon in the City of Ancient Emperors wouldn't be brief and would continue on for a very long period of time. Next, the attention of everyone in the immortal realms would be focused on this place. The vast majority of people here wouldn't be willing to leave, and he would definitely return in the future.
…
In the eastern regions of the immortal realms, in the Evergreen KingdomPalace, Qin Wentian returned. However, Changqing The Great and many other nobility experts weren't in the royal palace. They had all gone to the City of Ancient Emperors.
Qin Wentian arrived at the princess residence. Right now, who in the eastern regions didn't know that Qin Wentian was the future prince consort of the empire? Naturally, no one would obstruct him. In the princess residence, Qing 'er wasn't here but Mo Qingcheng was.
"You've returned." Upon seeing Qin Wentian's return, Mo Qingcheng didn't say anything. She silently walked to Qin Wentian and helped Qin Wentian tidy his robes. She then spoke in a gentle voice, "Elder sister Qing 'er has been cultivating with senior Ji Di during these years and rarely returns. Occasionally, she would come by to see if you have returned or not."
"Did you miss me?" Qin Wentian gently hugged Mo Qingcheng. Each time they parted, many years would pass, causing Qin Wentian to feel very ashamed. Qingcheng, on the other hand, had no regrets.
"What do you think?" Mo Qingcheng winked mischievously as she stared at Qin Wentian.
"I definitely didn't miss you." Qin Wentian intentionally replied, causing Mo Qingcheng to roll her eyes. She quietly leaned into his embrace as she replied in a light voice, "I miss you every day."
Qin Wentian rubbed Mo Qingcheng's head as he smiled, "I told you to inform Qing 'er that if she returns, I will accompany the two of you to relax."
"Really?" Mo Qingcheng inclined her head and stared at Qin Wentian.
"When have I ever lied to you?" Qin Wentian laughed.
Mo Qingcheng's beautiful eyes sparkled as she stared at the smile on Qin Wentian's face. "You want me and elder sister Qing 'er to accompany you? Do you have any good intentions?"
"Eh …" Black lines appeared on Qin Wentian's forehead as he replied in a crafty manner, "What good intentions?"
Seeing the shameless smile on Qin Wentian's face, Mo Qingcheng ruthlessly pinched his waist. "Lecherous brat, as expected, you have no good intentions."
Qin Wentian felt that he was wronged. His thoughts were so pure!
