After the passage of countless years, the Wenxin Temple now exuded a tranquil and peaceful aura.
Within a treasured temple, the Reverend Tianxin of the Askheart Temple sat on a praying mat while Qin Wentian sat opposite him. Beside him, a novice monk around the age of ten was busying himself, moving some jade slips and ancient scrolls into the space between the Reverend Tianxin and Qin Wentian. These were all ancient scrolls of the Askheart Temple that had been passed down for a long time.
"Master, I've brought them all." The young novice monk pressed his palms together as he spoke to the Reverend.
"Okay, Wuxin, you can leave now." Reverend Tianxin nodded to the young novice monk. The young novice monk then bowed to Qin Wentian, "Benefactor Qin, Wuxin bids his farewell."
"Many thanks." Qin Wentian smiled as he nodded his head. The little novice monk then departed.
"Reverend, this disciple of yours is truly impressive." Qin Wentian laughed.
"Indeed, he has great wisdom." Reverend Tianxin nodded. His gaze landed on the ancient scrolls before him as he continued, "These are the only things left in our temple. Benefactor Qin, please take a look."
"Many thanks, Reverend." Qin Wentian nodded. After that, he took the jade slips and ancient scrolls over. His immortal sense seeped into the jade slips and instantly, he obtained many pieces of information. After that, a sharp light flashed in the center of his brows. After that, he flipped through the ancient scrolls and instantly, many ancient characters were imprinted into his mind, transforming into motes of light. Qin Wentian flipped through the pages unceasingly as more and more ancient characters floated into his mind.
Qin Wentian slowly flipped through the ancient scrolls. The interior of the temple was extremely quiet, there was no sound at all. Reverend Tianxin also didn't disturb him and closed his eyes to rest, like an old monk in meditation.
After a long time, Qin Wentian finally finished reading. His eyes flashed with a resplendent light as his heart was unable to calm down for a long time.
Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath, doing his best to suppress the shock in his heart, calming himself down. He didn't expect that the records in the ancient records of the Askheart Temple would actually be so shocking. There was a high possibility that these ancient records were the only copies in Azure Mystic.
He didn't expect that the thirty-three immortal realms all had their own boundless histories. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms evolved through countless years and became the strongest immortal realms. However, the lower worlds all had their own glory. The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms once also had a glorious history.
"The Azure Mystic today is actually not the Ancient Azure Mystic." Qin Wentian mumbled, feeling somewhat shocked.
"Grandmaster, do you know where Ancient Azure Mystic is located?" Qin Wentian asked Reverend Tianxin. Ancient Azure Mystic didn't refer to the changes of the era. It was just that the current Azure Mystic was incomparably vast, it might just be a small corner of Ancient Azure Mystic.
"I have no idea. However, the people of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms most probably came here because of this. I wonder if these characters who are at the empyrean realm would be able to find the entrance to Ancient Azure Mystic." Reverend Tianxin shook his head.
"Although Azure Mystic is vast, the immortals, the Myriad Devil Islands, the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range are all extremely vast. But even so, it is still much smaller when compared to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The size of a single world is already comparable to the current Azure Mystic or even surpasses it. In the past, I've never thought about this because I wouldn't think about it in this direction. Only now did I realize that the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms we know of is actually not Ancient Azure Mystic. The world-ending war recorded in the ancient books, how terrifying was it exactly?" Qin Wentian sighed in his heart.
The jade slips and ancient books in the Wenxin Temple actually contained heaven-shaking secrets. There were some records regarding the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. It said that their Wenxin Temple's inheritance originated from Ancient Azure Mystic. However, because of that world-ending war, the entire world was annihilated, the lives of the people were plunged into misery and suffering. The entire Azure Mystic was razed to flat ground. If things were really like what was recorded in the ancient books, then the word 'world-ending' wasn't an exaggeration at all. This was simply too terrifying. A world in the thirty-three immortal realms was destroyed. What level of war was this exactly? It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that it was a world-ending war.
After that, some survivors managed to escape from the world-ending war. However, the people of Azure Mystic were already destroyed, their homeland was already buried. They actually couldn't find the Azure Mystic of the past anymore.
In the ancient books, an ancestor of the Wenxin Temple used a single sentence to describe this change. "When you wake up from a dream, the heavens have already changed."
Most probably, the current Azure Mystic was developed by the survivors of that world-ending war. Most probably, countless years had passed and it was basically impossible to verify. The history of the Wenxin Temple was so long that it caused the hearts of many to tremble. It could be said that it had grown up together with Azure Mystic until now.
Maybe, this was also the reason why the Wenxin Temple insisted on only having a small number of their disciples enter the world. Their attitude was unyielding yet peaceful, they didn't want to compete but they would never be bullied by others.
They didn't compete because they knew of the existence of Ancient Azure Mystic and the history of the world-ending war. In that case, what was there to compete for in Azure Mystic? Naturally, this was the transcendent nature of the Wenxin Temple's abbot. The people in the temple might not know of this period of history and there might be people with different personalities appearing. But as long as the abbot didn't change, the will of the inheritance wouldn't change.
They didn't want to be bullied by others because of their history. As the most ancient power in Azure Mystic, the Wenxin Temple naturally had its own pride. Also, sometimes, the pride of the Wenxin Temple would cause people to feel fear in their hearts. They wouldn't bully others, but they would never be bullied by others either.
Many powers in the immortal realms felt reverence in their hearts towards the Wenxin Temple. This was also because they didn't know how long the history of the Wenxin Temple was. If not, the reverence in their hearts would be even stronger.
"Reverend, who do you think the person who sealed Azure Mystic is?" Qin Wentian asked again.
"How would I know? However, I'm afraid it has something to do with that existence who described the world-ending war in the ancient books." Reverend Tianxin was as calm as ever. But back then when he read about this period of history, great waves of shock rose up in his heart.
"I-I feel the same way as well." Qin Wentian nodded. In the ancient records, Ancient Azure Mystic was once a unified power. The entire boundless Azure Mystic Immortal Realms had a Heaven Lord.
This Heaven Lord was known as the Imperishable Heaven Lord in ancient times.
The Imperishable Heaven Lord was the master of Ancient Azure Mystic. This naturally wasn't something the Heaven Empyrean today could compare to. That was Ancient Azure Mystic, one of the true thirty-three heavens. It was an incomparably tyrannical power. How powerful was a Heaven Lord?
If he wasn't powerful, how could so many powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms allow the Imperishable Heaven Lord to rule the world?
Now that Azure Mystic was sealed, Qin Wentian guessed that this had something to do with the Imperishable Heaven Lord.
In addition, that world-ending war in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was said to have happened because of the Imperishable Heaven Lord.
When the heavenly deities descended, countless people directly prostrated themselves on the ground. Their might was unstoppable, capable of shaking the heavens. With a wave of their hands, the sun and moon lost their luster, mountains and rivers crumbled, the earth split apart, the seawater flowed in reverse, and lava from hell erupted from the earth's core. Everywhere they passed by, everything was destroyed. There were also heavenly deities summoning world-ending divine lightning, turning everything into ashes. Immortals and devils wept, emperors and emperors turned into skeletons. "" At this moment, the Imperishable Heaven Lord appeared in the air, fighting against the heavenly deities in rage.
The Imperishable Heaven Lord wanted to shift the battlefield to the starry skies, but the other heavenly deities were unwilling. They directly fought the Imperishable Heaven Lord in the airspace above Azure Mystic. That battle was extremely tragic and there were heavenly deities who died. The Imperishable Heaven Lord was also heavily injured, but he still managed to force the other heavenly deities to retreat. However, the people of Azure Mystic were plunged into misery and suffering. What was even more terrifying was that not long after, even more heavenly deities descended from the sky, bringing with them many heavenly soldiers and generals. The Imperishable Heaven Lord commanded the world and the generals of Azure Mystic followed him, fighting alongside him. This battle was known as the dusk of the deities, the blood of the heavenly soldiers and generals dyed the heavens and earth red. The generals of Azure Mystic fell one after another. They used their bodies to protect Azure Mystic, and when they saw the deaths of their generals and generals, the lives of Azure Mystic were destroyed, the Imperishable Heaven Lord transformed into a mountain and river, activating a forbidden art, sacrificing himself to bury the heavenly deities and Azure Mystic. "
This was an ancient record of that battle. It was very short but these words were sufficient to shake the hearts of those who saw it. The ancestor of Wenxin Temple was actually one of the lucky survivors. He must have personally witnessed that battle and hence, he recorded it down and sealed it in the ancient book. Who would have thought that after countless years, these ancient books were still preserved. Also, it was very possible that these were the only ancient books in Azure Mystic that had records of the world-ending battle.
What sort of existences were heavenly deities? It was unknown if the expert who left behind this ancient book knew about it or not.
A foreign heavenly deity brought many immortal soldiers and generals to participate in this battle. There was a high possibility that this heavenly deity came from a major power in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and was a supremely terrifying power. The Imperishable Heaven Lord fought the heavenly deity head-on and even forced him to retreat, killing him. It was simply unimaginable how powerful the Imperishable Heaven Lord was. He was just a mere Heaven Empyrean, in front of the Imperishable Heaven Lord, he was nothing more than an ant.
But in truth, Qin Wentian also had some suspicions. Since the Imperishable Heaven Lord might have already been destroyed, who could have such terrifying power to seal Azure Mystic? What sort of existence was that?
Could it be that the Imperishable Heaven Lord didn't die and was still alive?
In that case, if this was the case, it would truly be too terrifying, able to live from the ancient times until now. Naturally, this was only a guess, no one knew if it was true or false.
But there was no need to doubt that the person who sealed Azure Mystic must be extremely powerful. If not, he wouldn't have such capabilities.
"Benefactor Qin, do you have any thoughts after reading it?" Reverend Tianxin asked Qin Wentian.
"Reverend, do you also wish to find Ancient Azure Mystic?" Qin Wentian asked.
"This should be the obsession of my ancestor. It's just that now, another supremely powerful expert from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms has descended. How similar is this scene? Luckily, the experts who descended this time around shouldn't be as powerful as the ones recorded in the ancient records. If not, it would surely be another calamity." Reverend Tianxin pressed his palms together as he spoke.
"That's true." Qin Wentian nodded.
"Hence, Benefactor Qin is now the Heaven Empyrean of Azure Mystic and is akin to the Heaven Lord of Ancient Azure Mystic. In the future, the people of Azure Mystic will have to rely on Benefactor Qin." Reverend Tianxin bowed to Qin Wentian.
"Reverend, there's no need to do this." Qin Wentian stretched his hand out. "Leaving aside the fact that there might not be a world-ending war like in the past, even if there is, it wouldn't be an apocalypse. Since I'm the Heaven Empyrean, I naturally have to protect Azure Mystic. Hence, after this matter is concluded, I will leave the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms."
"In that case, many thanks." Reverend Tianxin spoke again. Qin Wentian sighed. Reverend Tianxin's heart truly cared about the world!
