In the training grounds of the White Deer Institute, the crowd gradually dispersed. The large-eyed elder invited Ghaus to join him for a chat, but before he left, he cast a glance at Qin Wentian.
Bailu Shan similarly glanced at Qin Wentian before departing as well. Bailu Yi and the young man beside her walked over, smiling at Qin Wentian, "Alright, this time around, our White Deer Institute's lineup is truly powerful. This is my elder brother, Bailu Jing."
Qin Wentian nodded his head to Bailu Jing, only to see Bailu Jing sizing up Qin Wentian. Their gazes locked as both of them nodded.
"My elder brother doesn't like Divine Inscriptions. If not, his attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions would be even higher than mine. He's proficient in the Martial Path and is ranked within the top 100 of the Heavenly Fate Rankings." Bailu Yi smiled, her words causing Qin Wentian's countenance to change slightly. The Heavenly Fate Rankings represented those at the pinnacle of Yuanfu in Grand Xia, and this Bailu Jing was ranked within the top hundred of Yuanfu experts in Grand Xia.
"Brother, Qin Wentian is also very powerful. Regardless of his attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions or the Martial Path, he won't lose to you in the future," Bailu Yi similarly praised Qin Wentian.
"I'll be very happy then." Bailu Jing smiled as he looked at his younger sister. How could Bailu Yi not understand his meaning? She rolled her eyes, "Brother, don't overthink things. The relationship between me and Qin Wentian isn't what you think it is."
"What is it?" Bailu Jing stared at his younger sister with a smile that was not a smile, intentionally teasing her, causing Bailu Yi to fiercely pinch him. "I'm not going to talk to you anymore."
"Haha." Bailu Jing laughed when he saw the expression on Bailu Yi's face. "No matter what you do, I'll always support you."
"I already said it's not what you think it is," Bailu Yi's innocent countenance was filled with helplessness.
"I understand," Bailu Jing glanced at Qin Wentian as he smiled, "Seems like you still need to work hard."
After speaking, Bailu Jing turned and departed, causing Qin Wentian to be completely speechless. Bailu Yi's brother was truly an interesting person, but Qin Wentian could tell that this was because he doted on Bailu Yi. As long as she liked him, he would support her.
"Ignore him," Bailu Yi turned to Qin Wentian, "Let's make our preparations, the exchange is about to begin."
"Yes." Qin Wentian nodded gently.
"The exchange this time is different from the past. The various forces might invite some troublesome characters. Be careful when dealing with them." Bailu Jing abruptly turned his head and spoke, his words causing Bailu Yi to have a look of surprise on her face. Could it be that there was a special reason for the academy to invite Ghaus over?
"What's the difference between this exchange and the past?" Bailu Yi asked.
"You've been busy with him these past few days and didn't even participate in the Academy's meeting. Why are you asking me this now?" Bailu Jing had a smile that was not a smile on his face. After which, he condensed his voice into a thread and transmitted it to Bailu Yi, "There's news that the secret grounds for the Divine Inscriptions is the Dao Cultivation Grounds of a Celestial Sovereign."
Bailu Yi's beautiful eyes froze as her heart trembled. The Dao Cultivation Grounds of a Celestial Sovereign?
So there was such a rumor. If that was the case, wouldn't the secret grounds this time around cause a huge storm?
"What about the Grand Xia Empire?" Bailu Yi wanted to speak, but Bailu Jing placed a finger on his lips, indicating for her to keep quiet. After which, he laughed, "The outside world doesn't know about this yet. Most probably, only the major powers in the Moon Continent have managed to gather some information. Not only that, the secret grounds might be opened earlier than expected."
After speaking, Bailu Jing turned and departed, only to see Bailu Yi staring at Qin Wentian with a bitter smile on her face, "I initially thought that the exchange this time around would be very simple, but from elder brother's words, it seems that there might be some unexpected developments."
Bailu Jing condensed his voice into a thread, making it so that those who were far away wouldn't be able to hear him. He didn't intentionally hide this from Qin Wentian.
"Celestial Sovereign's Dao Cultivation Grounds?" Qin Wentian mumbled.
"Celestial Sovereign is the title given to Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. If this news was made known to the Grand Xia Empire, it would definitely cause a huge storm. I'm afraid that the transcendent powers of the Moon Continent would make their move earlier than expected," Bailu Yi replied in a light voice. Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly.
He had heard of many titles of respect before, such as the Azure Emperor and Pill Emperor. The word 'Emperor' should be the title given to those who stood at the peak of Heavenly Dipper.
"Let's go, we need to make our final preparations. Grandmaster Ghaus is also extremely powerful, we still have a high chance of victory." Bailu Yi's countenance was heavy, yet filled with anticipation.
… …
At this moment, there was indeed a dark undercurrent in the Moon Continent. However, the transcendent powers all chose to keep a low profile. Those who received the news were all trying their best to prevent it from spreading. Although they knew that they wouldn't be able to hide it for long, they still wanted to drag it out for as long as possible. By the time the other transcendent powers of Grand Xia found out, it would already be too late.
The day of the exchange finally arrived. The transcendent powers of the Eastern Region all headed towards the Star-Seizing Manor.
The entrance to the secret realm of the Divine Inscriptions was controlled by the four transcendent powers of the Moon Continent. Hence, the exchange would also be organized by the four transcendent powers.
In the Eastern Region, the Star-Seizing Manor was the hegemon of the Eastern Region. Hence, the exchange would also be held there.
Today, experts from the transcendent powers of the Eastern Region arrived at the Star-Seizing Manor's training grounds. Staring at the majestic aura of the Star-Seizing Manor, many couldn't help but feel envy in their hearts. This was a transcendent power, the king of the Eastern Region. Normally, they wouldn't even have the chance to enter. But only today would the Star-Seizing Manor allow outsiders to enter.
The major powers of the Eastern Region, the Yan Clan, the Leng Clan, the Scarlet Thunder Sect, the Watermoon Villa, the Demon Cult Sect … All the major powers arrived at the Star-Seizing Manor's training field.
The Yan Clan and Leng Clan were neighbors. Yan Tie, Yan Kong, and the rest were all here today. Yan Tie's eyes were closed, and a sinister aura emanated from him, causing others to not dare to approach him.
"Grandmaster Yan Tie, is the maid we sent a few days ago serving you well?" Leng Lin's father, Leng Jian, asked in a low voice as he walked towards Yan Tie.
"The taste is not bad. How many beauties does your Leng Clan have?" Yan Tie abruptly opened his eyes, smiling at Leng Jian. His words caused Leng Jian's countenance to sink as he silently cursed this perverted fellow. This time around, his daughter, Leng Lin, had almost been sent to the White Lotus Sect.
"Grandmaster Yan Tie, there are no more maids in my Leng Clan that are worthy of my attention." Leng Jian initially wanted to remind Yan Tie of the benefits he had received from the Leng Clan, but who would have thought that Yan Tie would directly ask for more? What a bastard.
"Isn't your daughter one?" Yan Tie glanced at Leng Lin, causing her body to involuntarily tremble.
"Grandmaster." Leng Jian's countenance was extremely unsightly to behold.
"One quota, one woman." Yan Tie stared at Leng Jian as he coldly stated, causing Leng Jian's countenance to turn even more unsightly.
"The people from the White Deer Institute have arrived."
At this moment, a voice rang out. Yan Tie's eyes flickered with a terrifying light as he turned his gaze in the direction of the White Deer Institute, instantly locking onto two figures.
Qin Wentian and Chu Mang. These two were none other than the murderers of his son. They actually dared to appear here?
Leng Jian turned his gaze over, and when he saw Qin Wentian, his countenance couldn't help but stiffen. Qin Wentian was actually here as well? Although he knew that Qin Wentian was a third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist, he didn't know how high Qin Wentian's attainments in the Dao of Divine Inscriptions were. Naturally, he wouldn't have known that Qin Wentian would be participating in this exchange.
"DIE!" An intense killing intent gushed forth from Yan Tie. Qin Wentian could clearly feel the killing intent radiating from Yan Tie. His eyes abruptly shifted in the direction of Yan Tie, only to see Yan Tie and Leng Jian standing there.
Similarly, within the calm eyes of Qin Wentian, a terrifying killing intent flashed past, akin to a bolt of lightning piercing towards Yan Tie.
Leng Jian felt a chill run down his spine, as he stared at Qin Wentian with an unsightly countenance. It seemed like this young third-ranked Divine Inscriptionist had an extremely strong killing intent towards him. It was most likely because of Leng Ning's death.
The group from White Deer Academy arrived at the east side of the Dao Cultivation Field, directly facing the Yan Family. However, there was a Dao Cultivation Field between them.
Yan Tie's eyes were closed, as though he was contemplating on how to kill Qin Wentian and Chu Mang.
At the northern side of the training grounds, there was a majestic wall that was over ten meters tall. A row of silhouettes appeared on top of it, as they stared at the people below with sharp gazes.
"Yang Fan."
The eyes of the crowd gleamed with sharpness when they saw the young man in the lead. One of the four Heaven's Chosen, Yang Fan, was actually here today to spectate the exchange.
This time around, after selecting the most powerful Divine Inscriptionists, they would be able to select a few to be sent to the training grounds. These people were none other than the people from the Star-Seizing Manor.
Yang Fan's appearance made everyone understand that this time around, the Star-Seizing Manor would be led by a Heavenly Fate Ranker named Yang Fan.
Qin Wentian contemplated Yang Fan. This person was around 22 years of age, extremely young, yet he exuded the aura of an expert, giving off an extraordinary feeling.
"This person is Yang Fan, ranked # 18 on the Heavenly Fate Ranking, a Heaven's Chosen from the Star-Seizing Manor of the Moon Continent. He's also one of the four Heaven's Chosen of the Moon Continent." Bailu Yi, who was standing beside Qin Wentian, spoke in a low voice. "As for the other three, they are Hua Taixu from the Hua Clan, ranked # 1 on the Heavenly Fate Ranking. Zhan Chen from the Pill Emperor Hall, ranked # 11 on the Heavenly Fate Ranking, even higher than Yang Fan. And lastly, Zhao Lie from the Skyember Sect, ranked # 28 on the Heavenly Fate Ranking."
"These people are all Heaven's Chosen from the Moon Continent, and are similarly extremely famous in the Grand Xia Empire." Bailu Yi introduced them one by one, as though intending to provoke Qin Wentian. She believed that in the future, Qin Wentian would definitely have a chance to ascend to the top of the Heavenly Fate Ranking. She already knew of Kirin's battle record of sixty consecutive victories, and he even sparred with Chu Mang. Chu Mang's cultivation base was at the peak of the fifth level of Yuanfu, and he wasn't an ordinary Yuanfu cultivator either.
The Heavenly Fate Ranking should be Qin Wentian's goal. Not only did he want to ascend, he also wanted to ascend to the top ranks. Only then would he be worthy of his talent!
