Other than Qin Zheng, there was another person who ordered people to monitor the Heaven Vault. This person was none other than Yue Changkong. For over two hundred years, he was trapped in the Gods Extinction Path and improved greatly. Right now, he was at the heavenly deity realm but after he exited the Heaven Vault, he actually heard rumors regarding Qin Wentian. This meant that Qin Wentian who was trapped in the Gods Extinction Path easily exited it.
After exiting the Heaven Vault, Yue Changkong didn't leave. He was waiting for Qin Wentian but he didn't manage to find him. There were only two possibilities. Either Qin Wentian wasn't in the Heaven Vault or he didn't come out at all.
With regards to Qin Wentian, Yue Changkong had always viewed him as his mortal enemy. This mortal enemy was like a baleful star in his life. He also believed that Qin Wentian had his own extraordinary aspects. Even if Qin Wentian unraveled the secret of the Heaven Vault and exited the Gods Extinction Path, Yue Changkong wouldn't feel strange at all. Because, he was Qin Wentian, the person who caused him to be consigned to eternal damnation.
He hated Qin Wentian but he also admired this opponent of his. Just like how Qin Wentian viewed Qin Wentian as his mortal enemy, Yue Changkong viewed Qin Wentian as his mortal enemy. Killing Qin Wentian was his most intense obsession.
Hence, at the location where the Heaven Vault was located, in the boundless sea region, the waves kept on crashing. On the surface of the sea, there was someone floating on a boat, seemingly cultivating but his cultivation base wasn't high.
This boat drifted with the waves, seemingly at ease with the situation. In the midst of the churning waves, a head suddenly appeared. This wasn't the head of a human, it was the head of a demonic beast from the sea region. Its demonic eyes glanced at the location where the Heaven Vault disappeared before it dove into the sea again, vanishing from sight.
In the boundless sea region, the sound of the waves churning and the howling of the hurricanes rang out unceasingly. However, the airspace above the sea region was so calm. It was hard to imagine that not long ago, a storm of commotion erupted here, causing experts from the eight regions to gather here.
During these days, there was no commotion in the Heaven Vault. Qin Wentian was worried that there would be people trying to pry into the secret of the Heaven Vault. Hence, he didn't come out and continued to cultivate in the nine heavenly layers. He was prepared to wait until the storm subsided before he came out.
He naturally understood that once news of him controlling the Heaven Vault leaked out, there would surely be trouble. This was a place that could attract the attention of experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, including heavenly deities. This was the most suitable place for cultivation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Now that this place was under his control, if the other powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms knew about this, how could they not come to snatch it away?
However, Qin Wentian had a feeling that it would be extremely difficult to hide this secret. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms never lacked people with ambitions. If he wanted to hide this secret forever, the only way was if he never exited the Heaven Vault. But even so, it was better to be more cautious.
Naturally, even if he was discovered, the Heaven Vault was still a safe place. Other than him, no one would be able to barge in.
Many days later, in the airspace above the boundless sea region, a crack appeared in the sky. After that, two figures walked out. They were none other than Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan. The moment they stepped out, the Heaven Vault instantly closed. If one didn't keep a close eye on it, they wouldn't even be able to sense it.
It was impossible for them to stay in the Heaven Vault forever. Hence, despite knowing the danger of being exposed, they still chose to come out. But for safety's sake, only Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan, these two powerful heavenly deities, came out. After they came out, their silhouettes flashed as they soared through the air, leaving in an extremely short period of time.
There was no one in the sea region. However, at the bottom of the sea, there was a school of fish swimming about. One of the fish demons had a cold gleam in its eyes. That fish demon spat out a messaging crystal and sent his demon sense into it, as though he was transmitting a message.
Abruptly, a terrifying heavenly might descended, causing the fish demon to be greatly shocked. The sea roared and churned frenziedly, the seawater flowed in reverse, shooting up into the sky. A white-robed figure stood in the air, this was a true heavenly deity. His countenance was ice cold, he waved his hand and in an instant, the entire sea region was shredded into pieces. Many schools of fish in this area were directly annihilated as blood dyed this part of the sea red. However, as the waves continued to wash away the blood, it gradually faded away.
"I didn't see anyone on the surface of the sea. I didn't expect someone to be in the sea." Luoshen Chuan walked over. So it turned out that the person who acted was none other than Qin Wentian who had returned.
"Seems like this secret can no longer be hidden." Qin Wentian spoke in a light voice. Although he was long prepared in his heart and didn't feel that he could hide this forever, he didn't expect things to happen so quickly. After the commotion of the Heaven Vault ended, the Heaven Vault was already targeted by someone. This was truly unexpected. He had no idea who this person was. Could it be the Qin Clan? Most probably, he would know very soon.
"Grandfather, let's go." Qin Wentian spoke. The two of them arrived at Boundless City. Qin Wentian spoke to Luoshen Chuan, "Grandfather, you have to be careful in this trip to the Desolate Region. If the Qin Clan is targeting you, I'm afraid other than me, they would also have their eyes on you."
"I know. You have to be careful too." Luoshen Chuan nodded as he instructed.
"Don't worry grandfather. Right now, I still have the ability to protect myself." Qin Wentian confidently spoke. Luoshen Chuan nodded. After cultivating for over two hundred years, the current Qin Wentian was no longer the same as before. Right now, his grandson was already a truly powerful heavenly deity. The two of them parted in Boundless City.
After all, the destination of this trip was different. Luoshen Chuan directly sped away while Qin Wentian entered Boundless City. He wanted to pay a visit to Qu Shen. Firstly, it was out of courtesy. After all, Qu Mo and Nichang had shown him grace before. Secondly, he wanted to know if Qin Zheng had mentioned marriage to Qu Shen. Although he told Qu Shen about his father's attitude, it was still too difficult for him to reject the Qin Clan.
The Qin Clan was one of the hegemonic powers in the Heaven Region.
After arriving at the Qu Residence, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet. Qin Wentian went to look for Qu Shen. Upon seeing Qin Wentian, a smile appeared on Qu Shen's face.
"Grandpa Qu." Qin Wentian called out.
"Wentian, thank you." Qu Shen nodded lightly. If Qin Zheng or Qin Dangtian could be as respectful to him as Qin Wentian was, he wouldn't have anything to say.
"Nichang, Wentian is here. Why aren't you coming out to greet him?" Qu Shen called out. A moment later, Goddess Nichang appeared. She was as beautiful as ever, but there was a hint of Cold in her eyes when she stared at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly.
"There's no need to trouble Nichang. I'm only here to greet Grandpa Qu. I will leave after that." Qin Wentian shifted his gaze away and smiled.
"Since you are here, why don't you take a seat? I'll get someone to prepare a banquet." Qu Shen spoke. "Just in time, you can accompany me for a chat. The new waves of the river will surpass the old. I didn't expect you to be so young yet you have already reached the heavenly deity realm. The younger generations will truly surpass us in time."
Qin Wentian was helpless and could only agree to stay behind. The banquet was soon prepared. Goddess Nichang accompanied Qu Shen but she didn't say anything. Qin Wentian and Qu Shen were the only ones chatting. As they chatted, the topic shifted to the Heaven Vault and the Qin Clan. Qu Shen's expression also grew colder. Qin Wentian could sense Qu Shen's attitude and felt somewhat strange. He then heard Qu Shen saying, "After the Heaven Vault ended, Qin Ding and Qin Zheng came here."
"Mhm?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed. Could it be that Qu Shen's coldness had something to do with this?
Qin Ding actually made a trip here personally.
"Back then, there were some rumors about you and Nichang. I actually hoped that the Qin Clan would take the initiative to annul the marriage. If that's the case, although I would lose face, at the very least, I would be able to answer to Nichang's father. However, Qin Ding first asked Nichang if you did anything to her. After she denied it, Qin Ding directly wanted to set a date. I initially wanted to drag things out but Qin Ding's attitude was extremely unyielding. Although we are old acquaintances, our statuses are now different.
Qin Ding no longer has any face left. "Qu Shen calmly spoke. Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. Maybe, this was the reality of the cultivation world.
He turned his gaze to Goddess Nichang. Upon hearing about her marriage, Goddess Nichang lowered her head slightly.
"What is Nichang thinking in her heart exactly? Is she willing or not? " Qin Wentian asked. It was unknown if he was asking Qu Shen or Goddess Nichang. If Goddess Nichang was willing, he would have nothing to say. Although, he really didn't wish for his benefactor to marry his enemy.
"Nichang, Wentian isn't an outsider. Why don't you tell grandpa your thoughts?" Qu Shen spoke to Goddess Nichang.
Not an outsider?
Qin Wentian felt warmth in his heart. Qu Shen really treated him like a junior.
Goddess Nichang inclined her head. Her beautiful and flawless eyes glanced at Qu Shen before turning to Qin Wentian. Her expression was as cold as ever, no one could tell what she was thinking in her heart.
"I don't have any thoughts." Goddess Nichang stood up. She actually didn't say anything and turned to leave just like that. This caused Qin Wentian to start.
Upon seeing this scene, Qu Shen's eyes flashed. He spoke in a light voice, "I most probably already know what this lass is thinking."
"Grandpa Qu, what do you think?" Qin Wentian asked.
"She doesn't want to," Qu Shen said calmly. Qin Wentian's eyes flickered.
"It's just that given the current strength of the Qin Clan, even if they are unwilling …" Qin Ding sighed in his heart, hating himself for being useless. It was one thing that his strength was inferior to Qin Ding's, but he was also injured. Now that he had promised the Qin Clan, it wouldn't be so easy for him to go back on his words.
Ni Shang clearly understood this as well, so … even if she wasn't willing, she wouldn't say it out loud, because she would consider this useless old man.
…
Qin Wentian left the Qu Residence with a heavy heart. Qu Mo had asked him to pass a message to Qin Wentian, but was he unable to stop some things from happening?
After leaving, he naturally prepared to return to Qing Xuan.
Just when he returned to Azure Mystic, a piece of news suddenly circulated around the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The Heaven Vault wasn't truly closed. It was because the secrets of the Heaven Vault had been unraveled by someone. The Heaven Vault was controlled by someone and was artificially closed.
A single stone caused a thousand ripples. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were shaken once more.
The Heaven Vault, how could the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms forget about such a sacred cultivation ground?
Right now, news circulated out that the Heaven Vault was actually controlled by someone. A formless storm was brewing!
