In the Heaven Vault, numerous floating palaces could be seen, bathing in boundless astral light, exuding a majestic aura.
At this moment, the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden came to a floating palace. This floating palace was located in the center, it was none other than the place where Qin Wentian resided. Outside the palace, there were many experts guarding it. Right now, there were already many people in the Heaven Vault. This floating palace wasn't a place they could easily disturb. After all, Qin Wentian resided there, as well as his family and friends.
The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden glanced at the two figures guarding the floating palace. One of them radiated devil might, like a devil god, while the other radiated a powerful battle intent. Their existences caused the hearts of the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden to involuntarily tremble violently.
Because, the two guards of the floating palace were actually heavenly deities.
Heavenly deities guarding the entrance, who else could there be in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms?
As the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, they naturally had vast experiences and there was nothing that could shock them. But this time around, when they came to the Heaven Vault, even before they saw Qin Wentian, they were already deeply shocked.
Heavenly deities guarding the entrance, there was no need to explain what this meant.
This meant that the current Heaven Vault, the number of heavenly deities was most probably already …
When they thought of this, their hearts trembled again. However, they still did their best to endure it as they walked into the floating palace.
On the way there, they met some people. Just like what they expected, many of the people they met were at the heavenly deity realm. It was like in this place, heavenly deities were no different from mortals.
Finally, they came to a place. Qin Wentian appeared before them and smiled, "Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden, please forgive me for not being able to welcome you."
The two of them surveyed Qin Wentian. Right now, Qin Wentian was even more imposing than before. With a single glance, he gave off an unfathomable feeling. Back then, he was already the number one genius of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms who could suppress the Thunder Clan Leader. Right now, it was already unimaginable how strong his cultivation base was. But there was no doubt that he was more than enough to deal with the two of them. This point was still something they could accept.
The Qiankun Sect Leader smiled bitterly. Earlier, he still felt unhappy in his heart because Qin Wentian directly summoned them but didn't welcome them. But after they came here, this feeling vanished. He truly understood that right now, Qin Wentian's status was no longer the same level as him. If they could meet him now, this was already a sign of respect. If not, given how they had betrayed the alliance back then, so what? Wentian Clan Sect Leader didn't? Qin Qin Qin Chen Can. in Sect, it. Qin, Qin, Chen, Qin, and Sect,
"Sit." Qin Wentian stretched out his hand. The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden nodded lightly. After that, they sat down in front of Qin Wentian. Beside them, a beautiful maiden walked over to pour tea for them. This maiden was pure and beautiful, like someone from a painting. However, what shocked the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden was her cultivation base. She was a heavenly deity.
They could sense that the majority of the people in Qin Wentian's floating palace were heavenly deities.
"Sect Leader Qin, this maiden's beauty is outstanding. I wonder who you are?" The Qiankun Sect Leader probed, wanting to know the identity of this maiden.
"I'm a maid by the sect leader's side, I'm responsible for taking care of the sect leader's daily needs." The beautiful maiden blinked her eyes, appearing extremely mischievous. The Qiankun Sect Leader perspired. A heavenly deity as a maid … He felt that his heart was pounding faster than before.
"Sect Leader, don't listen to this lass's nonsense. Her name is Nanfeng Shengge, she's a good friend of mine. We're already acquainted with each other in Azure Mystic." Qin Wentian rolled his eyes at Nanfeng Shengge. Nanfeng Shengge didn't mind and smiled mischievously.
"So this is the case." The Qiankun Sect Leader nodded lightly, but he sighed in his heart. This was the true meaning of when a man achieved the dao, his chickens and dogs also ascended to the heavens. The good friends and subordinates he brought back from Azure Mystic were all heavenly deities now.
Was the Heaven Vault really so mystical?
He was thinking that if they didn't betray the alliance back then, would an army of heavenly deities appear in their Qiankun Sect now?
"Sect Leader Qin, the flow of time in this floating palace should be different from the outside world, right? I actually can't sense how much the flow of time has changed." The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden curiously asked. How could she not be shocked? Even a maiden from Azure Mystic was already a heavenly deity. Other than the Heaven Vault, this holy land for cultivation, most probably, time was something that couldn't be neglected.
"Right now, the flow of time here is already close to a thousand times faster than the outside world." Qin Wentian smiled. The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden nodded. No wonder, the Heaven Vault had a unique advantage in terms of cultivation, allowing one to comprehend the dao on the constellations in the sky. In addition to the change in the flow of time, too many years have passed here. Right now, they could already be certain that heavenly deities were no longer rare in the Heaven Vault. Most probably, they could be seen everywhere.
The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden exchanged mutual glances. They initially came here because they wanted to discuss some conditions. But now, they no longer had any confidence at all. Right now, it seemed that having the Qiankun Sect and the Nine Heavens Mystical Palace in the Heaven Vault wasn't of much use anymore.
"Wentian, for some things in the past, we were also forced to do so. I'm sure you should know how strong the western world is. That godking has never appeared and that by itself is already a huge threat. Back then, they wanted us to leave the Heaven Vault, we were also helpless …" The Qiankun Sect Leader slowly spoke. Qin Wentian waved his hand, stopping him from continuing. He smiled, "Sect Leader, there's no need for you to explain anything. With regards to this, I understand and can understand. In addition, back then, I fought shoulder to shoulder with Sect Leader and Fairy before. I won't place such a minor matter in my heart."
The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden's choice wasn't wrong. They did it for themselves. None of them wanted to face the western world head-on.
"In that case, I can set my heart at ease." The Qiankun Sect Leader nodded lightly. Qin Wentian lifted his teacup and took a sip. He didn't say anything. He believed that the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden didn't come here just to apologize. If they wanted to apologize, they would have come long ago. Why would they wait until now?
At this moment, Qin Wentian was waiting for the Qiankun Sect Leader to speak.
As expected, after a moment of silence, the Qiankun Sect Leader spoke, "Sect Leader Qin, this time around, other than apologizing for some matters in the past, we also hope to form an alliance with the Heaven Vault."
"Alliance?" Jun Mengchen who was at the side frowned. "Do you think that given the current strength of our Heaven Vault, we still need an alliance like the Qiankun Sect? In addition, an alliance that might abandon you the moment you encounter danger. What's the point of having an alliance like this? "
"This …" The Qiankun Sect Leader had an awkward expression on his face but he had no way to refute Jun Mengchen's words. Although his words weren't pleasant to the ears, Jun Mengchen's words sounded like the truth. Before this, they were still confident that the Heaven Vault needed their strength. But recently, such confidence had completely vanished.
But it was precisely because he saw how strong the Heaven Vault was that he was even more determined to form an alliance with the Heaven Vault.
Right now, there were three hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Their Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace's positions were extremely awkward. Maybe, they didn't need to choose a side and might be able to safely pass the day when the three hegemonic powers were determined. But what about after that day? What would the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace do?
Once the western paradise became the king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, everyone in the world would cultivate the buddhist dao. Most probably, they would have nothing to do with it anymore.
If Yue Changkong won, that would be even more terrifying. Back then, Godking Gu was already a reclusive and evil person. If he became the king, the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace wouldn't have a good ending.
They only trusted Qin Wentian's character. They hoped that Qin Wentian would win. Also, after coming to the Heaven Vault, they felt that the possibility of the Heaven Vault becoming the king was very high.
Since they supported Qin Wentian, it would naturally be better if they joined before the victor was determined. At that time, they would no longer be in an alliance, they would have to submit to him. Their statuses would be completely different.
Just by looking at Jun Mengchen's attitude, they knew that once the Heaven Vault became the king, the people around Qin Wentian would definitely look down on them. If they joined now, they would still be able to fight side by side.
This time around, Qin Wentian didn't stop Jun Mengchen. From the looks of it, although Qin Wentian didn't hate them for betraying the alliance, it wouldn't be easy for him to accept them again.
"The matter in the past was indeed our fault. In the future, such a thing will definitely not happen again. Right now, the situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms is already very clear. Since we joined the Heaven Vault, it means that we are completely tied together with the Heaven Vault." The Qiankun Sect Leader explained.
"Easy to say. What if the Heaven Vault starts a war against the other two hegemonic powers when they are at a disadvantage? What if the other two hegemonic powers tempt you guys to betray them and deal with the Heaven Vault instead? Senior brother, you have to be on guard against the mistakes of others. "Jun Mengchen spoke.
"You are going overboard." The beautiful eyes of the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden stared at Jun Mengchen. "How can we be such people?"
"Whether we are or not isn't something that can be said with words." Jun Mengchen calmly spoke. Qin Wentian turned his gaze to Nanfeng Shengge who was at the side as he asked, "Shengge, what do you think?"
Nanfeng Shengge warmly smiled, "Shengge naturally believes in the sincerity and character of Sect Leader and Fairy Qiankun. But after all, that unhappy incident has already happened before. It's impossible for the Heaven Vault to completely accept them without harboring any ill feelings in their hearts. If Sect Leader and Fairy Qiankun are truly sincere, you can bring your people into the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and become one of our factions. In the future, we will see Sect Leader and Fairy Qiankun's performance before we decide if we will allow the experts from the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. If not, if Sect Leader and Fairy Qiankun's strength is too great and there's another unhappy incident, it would be a calamity to our Heaven Vault."
"This …" The Qiankun Sect Leader had an unhappy expression on his face.
Qin Wentian smiled, "Sect Leader, Fairy Qiankun, let's not talk about such unhappy matters for now. No matter what, we have fought side by side before. Even if one day the Heaven Vault becomes the king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, we definitely won't make things difficult for the two of you."
The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden sighed silently in their hearts. Qin Wentian's words indicated that he had tacitly agreed to Nanfeng Shengge's words. After all, they betrayed the Heaven Vault first. If Qin Wentian accepted them like before, it would be hard to convince everyone.
The Heaven Vault was no longer the Heaven Vault of the past. It was now one of the three hegemons of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
After casually chatting for some time, the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden bid farewell and left. Before they left, they inclined their heads and glanced at the sky. The Qiankun Sect Leader had a feeling of a hero past his prime. The era has changed. The world now was no longer their world.
Several days later, news circulated out of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace have moved to the Heaven Vault.
This time around, they didn't form an alliance. They joined them!
