The Skyair Palace Lord understood that Qin Wentian's words were naturally true. The sword wound on his neck was still there. Earlier, he had already taken a stroll in front of the god of death.
Qin Wentian was arrogant and conceited?
Who was the arrogant one exactly? As the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord, the Skyair Palace Lord, one of the three strongest palace lords in the nine world palaces, he actually couldn't even withstand a single strike from Qin Wentian.
Not only was the Skyair Palace Lord speechless, the Xuanyuan Palace Lord, Dragonsaddle Palace Lord and Kanwater Palace Lord were all staring at the wound on the Skyair Palace Lord's neck, unable to speak for a long time.
The Xuanyuan Palace Lord's expression was extremely unsightly to behold. Earlier, he was still mocking Qin Wentian. Now, his face was directly smacked. Qin Wentian used his strength to tell them that it didn't matter how long one cultivated or how famous one was. He had just broken through to the empyrean realm and was able to kill the Lifire Empyrean back then. Now, he could similarly defeat them or even kill them.
However, Qin Wentian didn't kill him. After all, the Skyair Palace Lord was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord. If Qin Wentian killed him, there was no need for him to return to the Lifelong Realm. Ye Qianyu and the others were still in the Lifire Palace. Hence, it was impossible for him to kill the Skyair Palace Lord. However, this strike was enough to make the Skyair Palace Lord unable to forget it for the rest of his life.
"Who else has any objections?" Qin Wentian glanced at the four palace lords. At this moment, his voice no longer sounded arrogant in the ears of everyone. It was filled with imposingness and self-confidence. Such a powerful aura involuntarily gushed forth. This was might, the might that belonged to experts. Only with strength would people view you in a different light. If you weren't strong enough, you would be arrogant. If you were strong enough, you would be imposing.
At this moment, the four palace lords all fell silent. If they continued to speak, if Qin Wentian invited them to spar, how should they respond? Should they let Qin Wentian leave a wound on their necks? They didn't feel that they had the strength to win against the Skyair Palace Lord.
"What illusion technique did you use?" The Skyair Palace Lord asked with some reluctance. He wanted to understand why the second scene was still an illusion. Also, he had clearly seen through Qin Wentian's illusions and could clearly smell the scent of blood. There was no way he would be wrong. The Skyair Palace Lord asked with a hint of reluctance.
Qin Wentian coldly glanced at him. He had comprehended the origin of illusionary laws and could use illusionary arts with a single thought. Powerful illusionary arts could not only deceive the eyes, they could also deceive the senses of smell, immortal sense, and perception. The illusionary arts he cultivated were all obtained from the tiny astral-being. After the unification of Azure Mystic, he taught the immortal emperors in the Heaven Empyrean Palace. During his free time, he cultivated this art and gradually became more proficient in it.
This illusionary art was named Mirrored Flowers, Water Moon. The flower in the mirror and the moon in the water were both unfathomable and illusory. There were a total of three levels to illusionary arts. The Skyair Palace Lord wasn't strong enough and could only see through the first level. Although he saw through the second level, it was already too late and he had already fallen for it. Even if he could see through the second level, there was still the third level.
This was precisely the reason why illusionary arts were so terrifying. When someone saw through your illusionary arts, they would definitely lower their guard. Hence, the second level of illusionary arts arrived. And when you even saw through the second level and were feeling complacent, the third level would descend upon you. This type of illusionary art was simply too fatal. The Skyair Palace Lord had never fought against Qin Wentian before and had seen such illusionary arts before. He naturally fell for it.
Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't tell the Skyair Palace Lord that the innate techniques of stellar martial cultivators were extremely useful in battle. How could he tell an enemy?
"Was it Yi who imparted it to you?" The Skyair Palace Lord transmitted his voice over, his expression unsightly to behold. Yi was also a world overlord character, comparable to his master, the Lifelong Realmlord. He thought that Yi had imparted a powerful innate technique to Qin Wentian which was why he was defeated. As for other aspects of combat prowess, he didn't feel that he would be weaker than Qin Wentian. He wasn't willing to admit it.
"You can go and complain to the Realmlord first. Just say that I wanted to bring my senior sister along with me but you obstructed me and was defeated by me with a single sword strike. If you don't explain things clearly, I will convey the Realmlord's words to you in the future." Qin Wentian still didn't reply to the Skyair Palace Lord's question. He continued to speak, his words causing the Skyair Palace Lord to turn ashen. He was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord while Qin Wentian was Yi's personal disciple. What would his master think if he learned of this?
Not only did he throw away his own face, he also threw away the face of the Lifelong Realmlord. Hence, he had to hide this matter as much as he could. If his master's face wasn't good, he would surely be disappointed in him and distance himself from him.
Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed, directly vanishing from his original location. He appeared beside Qing 'er and the others as he spoke in a low voice, "Let's go."
Princess Kitamura cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian. She also didn't expect that Qin Wentian was already so powerful. She was very clear about what sort of character the Skyair Palace Lord was but he was actually defeated so easily, leaving behind a bloody wound. Qin Wentian could even kill the Skyair Palace Lord on the spot. If the Skyair Palace Lord wasn't the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord, or if Qin Wentian wasn't someone from the Lifelong Realm, the Skyair Palace Lord would already be a dead man.
As for the people of Azure Mystic, they were already used to this. When Qin Wentian unified the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, many empyreans died in his hands. In their eyes, it was extremely normal for Qin Wentian to defeat empyreans at the same level as him. After all, they didn't understand what sort of character the Skyair Palace Lord was.
After they left, the Skyair Palace Lord glanced at the three palace lords and spoke, "Everyone, don't tell master about this matter for now. Princess Kitamura didn't travel together with us. She has already disobeyed master's orders. When the time comes, we won't be able to absolve ourselves from the blame."
The three palace lords silently cursed in their hearts. This fellow was trying to drag them down with him. He actually wanted to conceal this matter. However, they could understand his thoughts and nodded their heads with heavy expressions. The Xuanyuan Palace Lord stared at Qin Wentian's vanishing silhouette as he silently mused. In the Lifelong Realm, other than the Realmlord, most probably only that person from the Desolate Heaven Palace would be able to suppress Qin Wentian.
They truly didn't expect that the Lifire Palace would have such a powerful palace lord rise up in such a short period of time. To them, this wasn't a good thing. Earlier, their relationship with Qin Wentian had already been strained. Most probably, it would be very difficult to mend the cracks between them.
But luckily, there was the Skyair Palace Lord watching over them. He was also the personal disciple of the Realmlord, there was no need for them to care too much about him.
The few of them then instructed their subordinates to keep this a secret. After that, they also moved forward, entering the depths of this forbidden ground to search for more secrets. If they could really obtain some good fortune in this ancient battlefield, they could toss everything to the back of their minds.
…
Qin Wentian and the others continued on their way. Powerful spatial source energy gushed forth from him, enveloping everyone within it as they passed through spatial gates, traveling a thousand miles in an instant. In his mind, the will of the ancient heavenly deity was guiding him in the right direction.
"Senior, where are we going?" The spatial source energy around Qin Wentian brought everyone through another spatial gate, vanishing from their original location. At the same time, he asked the ancient heavenly deity.
"The central area of Ancient Azure Mystic, the former floating city, the most flourishing place in the world. It's also the center of the ancient battlefield. If we want to search for good fortune, that place should be the most suitable. There would surely be divine depositories buried there." The ancient heavenly deity replied.
"How long do we need?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Your speed is too slow. This world has already transformed into a desolate land and there are no teleportation arrays here. If we rush like this, we might need two to three years." The ancient heavenly deity replied.
Qin Wentian's heart trembled. Although he was mentally prepared, he was still badly shaken by a single sentence from the ancient heavenly deity.
Now that he has stepped into the empyrean realm and became the Heaven Empyrean of Azure Mystic, he was told that his speed was too slow, needing two to three years to reach a place. This was simply speechless … but when he thought about what sort of character the ancient heavenly deity was when he was alive, he could understand. A heavenly deity, how much stronger was he compared to an empyrean? There was simply no way to compare them. It was like the difference between the sun in the sky and an ant on the ground.
As for the time taken, it was also very normal. Ancient Azure Mystic was a place that could contend against the heavenly deities of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. How vast was this place in the past? Qin Wentian only needed to imagine the current size of the Lifelong Realm and he would be able to understand. To him, the Lifelong Realm was already an extremely vast place.
"Ai!" Qin Wentian sighed in a depressed manner. Just traveling there required two to three years of time? He truly felt somewhat speechless.
"Why are you sighing? If there really is a divine depositories, even if others spend thousands or tens of thousands of years, they wouldn't feel that the time taken is long. Everyone in the world pursues the great dao and to those with a higher cultivation base, a single stroke of good fortune can save them a million years of cultivation. Two to three years is simply a drop of water in the ocean, it's insufficient to reach the apex." The ancient heavenly deity seemed to know what Qin Wentian was thinking as he calmly spoke.
"A million years." Qin Wentian bitterly smiled and shook his head. "Junior has only cultivated for a short period of time, I have no way to imagine how many years I would have to spend."
"Mhm, your talent can be considered the best among those I've met. You didn't grow up in those major powers of the Heavenly Deity Race, but you still have to endure loneliness. Most probably, that person who imparted the Undying Scripture to you not only hoped that you would protect Azure Mystic, he also placed his hopes on you to revive Azure Mystic."
"Revive?" Qin Wentian started. "How many months and years would it take for a destroyed world to revive Azure Mystic?"
"Haha, since you have cultivated the Undying Scripture, as long as you don't die, the most scarce thing in this world is time. For an undying existence, as long as your talent is sufficient, you would be able to corroborate your dao sooner or later. Could it be that you don't understand the meaning of undying?" The ancient heavenly deity's voice was solemn. "Undying means that one can conquer time and ascend to the divine altar."
Qin Wentian started. He truly didn't think about the meaning of undying from this perspective. Was this why the Undying Scripture was so powerful? As long as I don't die, I would be able to ascend to the peak. Time would always be by my side.
In this world, there has never been a lack of geniuses, including supreme characters. But who can say that they are undying? The vast majority of them all fell at different cultivation bases, turning into dust. They all had unparalleled talent but ultimately, they were defeated by the enemy known as time. But for an undying person, they would never be defeated.
The great dao is the simplest, but the strongest dao is the simplest logic!
