The crazy old freak glared at Qin Wentian. This bastard really knew how to extort money from others.
"I know what I'm doing, there's no need for you to care." The crazy old freak coldly spoke.
"That's only natural. What sort of character is senior? I'm sure the gift you gave Youhuang wouldn't be any weaker than the God Slaying Rod." Qin Wentian trembled as he laughed, appearing somewhat shameless. However, if he could obtain a treasure on par with the God Slaying Rod, so what if he was a little shameless? His skin was simply so thick.
Within the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, Princess Kitamura also saw the crazy old freak. A strange look flashed in her eyes. He was still as sloppy as before, no matter how she looked at him, he was just like an old man. She really had no way to put him together with that supreme expert who forced the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to retreat with a single sentence. This feeling was really strange.
"Youhuang, senior just promised to give you a treasure. Quickly thank senior." Qin Wentian reminded when he saw Youhuang in a daze.
Youhuang's beautiful eyes blinked as she stared at Qin Wentian. Upon seeing Qin Wentian blinking at her, she understood in her heart. She was somewhat speechless but she still spoke in a light voice, "It has been so many years since we last met. Senior's elegance is still the same as before."
"Elegance? What elegance do I have? Seems like you have learned bad things from this fellow. " The crazy old freak stared at Princess Kitamura as he spoke, causing Princess Kitamura to feel somewhat awkward. A bitter smile appeared in her cold eyes as she glared at Qin Wentian.
"How's your cultivation of the Death Scripture?" The crazy old freak asked.
"Not too bad." Youhuang replied in a light voice. She also didn't know what level her cultivation had reached.
"Mhm, the Death Scripture is a supreme innate art. Although its survivability isn't as good as his Undying Scripture, it isn't weaker in other aspects. The reason why I imparted the Undying Scripture to him is because I know that this fellow's talent isn't good enough and he needs to protect his life frequently." The crazy old freak impolitely spoke, not giving any face to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian smiled wryly and was somewhat speechless. So, the reason why he had taught him the Death Scripture was to save his life? Was he afraid that he would die too quickly?
As for his talent, most probably no one in the vast Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would think so.
"Has this kid bullied you all these years?" The crazy old man asked again. Princess Kitamura's beautiful eyes froze as she stared at Qin Wentian. This question seemed to be somewhat ambiguous, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Bully?" Qin Wentian's face darkened. This question …
"How can I bully Youhuang? Senior is thinking too much." Qin Wentian smiled.
"No?" Princess Kitamura blinked her eyes and looked at Qin Wentian.
"Er …" Qin Wentian blinked.
"Hehe, tell me, I'll teach him a lesson for you." The eyes of the crazy old man stared at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to shiver. In the past, when the crazy old man was abusing him in the forbidden ground, this was the same look in his eyes.
Although the current Qin Wentian was already strong enough, he still felt a little weak when facing against this crazy old man who dared to head to the western world.
"No need, it doesn't seem to be a big deal." Princess Kitamura smiled. Her smile was like the melting of ice and snow, extremely beautiful.
Staring at the two juniors, the crazy old man nodded slightly. He took out a pearl that shone with resplendent light. There seemed to be an unfathomable amount of energy contained within. Qin Wentian and Princess Kitamura could both sense the powerful soul energy contained within.
The crazy old man was proficient in soul energy. The God Slaying Rod was specialized in soul attacks. Could this pearl be the same?
"Take it and refine it when you return. Don't let it down." The crazy old man stretched out his hand and passed the pearl to Princess Kitamura. His eyes were heavy and when he saw the expression on the crazy old man's face, Qin Wentian felt joy in his heart. Seems like this treasure is extraordinary or the crazy old man wouldn't be so serious. Given his strength, most probably, ordinary divine weapons wouldn't be able to catch his eye. It was the same even for divine weapons.
"Mhm." Princess Kitamura nodded seriously. She received the pearl and carefully kept it. From the expression of the crazy old man, she could sense that this pearl was extraordinary. She didn't want to let it down. Most probably, this pearl was extremely precious to the crazy old man.
"Bring me to the Heaven Vault to take a look. The two of you accompany me, don't let anyone else follow us." The crazy old man spoke again. He could already sense that there were many people heading their way.
"Right." Qin Wentian nodded. The crazy old man had lived in seclusion in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain for countless years. Most probably, he was already used to being alone. There weren't many people who had seen him before and his personality was naturally a little strange. To the crazy old man, in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, he was only acquainted with Qin Wentian and Princess Kitamura. He most probably wasn't interested in the others.
Qin Wentian transmitted his voice to the people in the surroundings. Everyone instantly understood and dispersed. Although they were very curious about this legendary character, since the crazy old man didn't wish to meet them, there was nothing they could do. It was just that it was a pity.
If the crazy old man wanted to enter the Heaven Vault, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn't have any objections. He and Princess Kitamura followed the crazy old man and passed through the ancient heaven vault pathway, arriving at the boundless starry space of the nine heavenly layers.
The three of them strolled through the starry space. The crazy old man walked in front with his hands clasped behind his back. He inclined his head and stared at the boundless starry space as he sighed, "How majestic."
Even someone as powerful as him had never been to the nine heavenly layers before. Although he had such a thought before, he didn't put it into practice. Right now, he was thinking that given his current cultivation base, if he didn't use the Heaven Vault, it was unknown how long it would take for him to travel from the ground to the nine heavenly layers.
During these years, he had always been protecting Ancient Azure Mystic. In truth, he rarely left Azure Mystic, let alone exploring the starry space.
"I heard that you obtained Godking Xi's inheritance?"
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. "This Heaven Vault was transformed from Godking Xi's body and will."
"What an incredible character. Back then, I once made an agreement with him to explore the starry space. But after that, the changes in Azure Mystic occurred. Who would have thought that today, half of my wish back then would be fulfilled. Only I managed to come here." The crazy old man's voice was filled with melancholy. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate through time, wanting to see the people of the past.
At this moment, he suddenly turned and stared at Youhuang. His old eyes turned extremely deep, flickering with love as he spoke in a light voice, "If you have any questions you don't understand on the path of cultivation, you can ask her in your mind. She will be able to help you dispel your doubts."
Princess Kitamura felt somewhat puzzled but she still nodded her head. The person the crazy old man was referring to was naturally her master. Her master was a powerful heavenly deity from Ancient Azure Mystic. Her master was currently in the form of a will in her mind.
"Senior, I've read through the dossiers regarding the world-ending battle but there are still many things that I'm unclear about. What happened back then exactly?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I don't wish to mention the past anymore. But there's an enemy we have to destroy no matter what. Everything that happened back then was started by them." The crazy old man spoke.
"Who?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"The western world." The crazy old man stared at the sky as he spoke. Qin Wentian's body trembled. The main culprit of the world-ending battle back then was actually the western world? The crazy old man could ignore the other participants of the battle, only saying that the western world had to be destroyed no matter what. From this, one could very well imagine what sort of role the western world played in the world-ending battle of Ancient Azure Mystic.
But all of this, even in the Heavenly Dao Library of the Tiandao Sacred Academy, there were no records of this.
"Why did they do this?" Qin Wentian asked. Although there were many viewpoints in the ancient scrolls, the crazy old man was someone who personally experienced it. His words were the truth.
Qin Wentian had never believed that the western world was a merciful place. If not, why would they do something like forceful seizing, forcing the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace to back out and gathering so many experts here? The western world only needed to control everything from behind the scenes. They didn't even need to act personally.
But even if they weren't merciful, Qin Wentian also found it hard to imagine that the main culprit behind the destruction of an entire world was actually the buddhic energy of the western world.
"The Buddhist Sect is particular about karma and faith. Why do people of the world cultivate? To transcend everything. In that era, there was one person in the western world who was the closest to transcending. " The crazy old freak slowly spoke, "Ever since the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were split into eight regions, the eight godkings all sought to transcend. The methods they used to pursue transcendence were all different. In that era, because of various reasons, only the godking of the Universe Region remained in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Hence, ambition naturally grew. There were some people who wanted to become the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and unify the thirty-three immortal realms. They wanted to spread their faith in the thirty-three immortal realms, making everyone in the world believe in them."
"Hence, he instigated that war and almost achieved his goal. Azure Mystic was destroyed and the various regions of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms suffered heavy losses. Many powers were annihilated but most probably, he himself didn't expect that he would suffer heavy injuries as well. Hence, this war was a lose-lose situation. The entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms lost."
The crazy old man's expression was cold. He slowly spoke, "And now, he seems to be about to reappear. Seems like his injuries are about to fully recover. In that case, his next goal will not change. The Heaven Vault you are in is extremely important, it will be the crux for him to achieve his goal."
Qin Wentian's expression froze. He didn't expect there to be such a hidden story behind this.
The 'him' the crazy old man spoke of, was he referring to the godking-level existence from the Universe Region?
The Universe Region was the only power that ruled over a region. Also, it ruled over four lower worlds. However, the crazy old man told him that this wasn't the goal of the Universe Region. They wanted all thirty-three immortal realms to believe in the buddhist dao!
But once, there was actually someone who could heavily injure the godking of the western world, suppressing his ambitions for countless years. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful the Imperishable Heaven Lord was back then.
Seems like the saints of the Buddhist Sect still had no way to foresee heavenly secrets.
And now, a storm arose once more. From the hidden meaning of the crazy old man's words, his Heaven Vault would no longer be peaceful!
