The Pill Emperor Hall, one of the transcendent powers of Grand Xia. It was the king of the Moon Continent, a power with a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant as its base.
In the Grand Xia Empire, this place was considered a sacred ground for alchemy, and was worshipped by countless people. Those from the Pill Emperor Hall were all lofty existences, standing at the top of the ninety-nine steps, gazing down disdainfully at the masses.
In the Moon Continent, when they moved about, they would always have their heads inclined upwards. It was always others who stared up at them from the ground.
But today, at this moment, those who were still alive in the Pill Emperor Hall were all inclined their heads upwards, staring at the disappearing constellation in the air.
The sunlight cascaded downwards, yet their heads were still inclined upwards, as though they were in a daze. Their hearts were still pounding furiously. Earlier, everything that happened in the Pill Emperor Hall seemed very short, but to them, it felt like an eternity, so long that it would leave a mark in their hearts for the rest of their lives.
Even for the Pill Emperor, the Pill Emperor, his heart was in a mess right now. His gaze was no longer as spirited as before. He still remembered back then when he walked down from the majestic hall, how imposing and unexcelled he was, exuding the aura of the number one character in this world. But now, his brows were tightly furrowed, and his robes were tattered, stained with traces of blood.
Today, the supreme existence of the Pill Emperor Hall finally understood what it meant by there's always someone stronger than the heavens.
Qin Wentian had left him an unforgettable experience.
And at this moment, those spectating from afar were all filled with bewilderment and shock as they stared at the ancient great hall.
The demon sword was still there, embedded into the Pill Emperor Hall. Sword intent permeated the air, and as for the towering great hall, it had long been split into two by the demon sword.
Even the rocks on the ground had been shattered. How was this still the famous Pill Emperor Hall? It no longer exuded any sense of majesty at all. Only a sense of destruction could be felt.
"What happened just now?" The hearts of the spectators pounded. They saw the experts of the Pill Emperor Hall, including the Pill Emperor, staring dumbfoundedly at the heavens.
When the constellation enveloped the Pill Emperor Hall, who was it that descended?
And who was it that used the power of the constellation to seal the entire great hall within?
"Where's Qin Wentian?"
It was at this time that they discovered to their astonishment that Qin Wentian, who had transformed into a roc, had actually disappeared. The roc had a wingspan of three thousand meters. With such a huge body, even if it had fallen, its corpse should still be there. It was impossible for it to vanish into thin air.
"Even the cliff within the forbidden ground seemed to have been destroyed. How is Mo Qingcheng?"
There were countless doubts in the hearts of the crowd, but no one could clear them up.
"Senior." At this moment, the experts of the Hua Clan arrived at the entrance of the Pill Emperor Hall, bowing to the Pill Emperor.
This person was a King of Elixirs, they naturally had to be respectful.
However, at this moment, they only saw the King of Elixirs turning around and glancing at them. His eyes were devoid of life, like an old man in his twilight years. Furthermore, his eyes were filled with coldness.
"Senior, may I ask what's going on?" someone asked.
"Scram!" A thunderous roar rang out, the countenance of that person instantly paled. The Pill Emperor waved his hands as a terrifying flame energy blasted towards that person. The coldness in the eyes of the Pill Emperor caused that person to feel stifled.
"Senior."
The countenances of those from the Hua Clan all changed, they didn't know what they had done to anger the Pill Emperor.
"From today onwards, the Pill Emperor Hall shall enter closed-door seclusion, severing all grudges with the external world. Nobody is allowed to enter the Pill Emperor Hall for an indefinite period of time." The Pill Emperor's voice was ice cold as he continued, "Now, all of you are to leave within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn."
As the sound of his voice faded, the Pill Emperor waved his hands as a raging wind gusted by, as a stifling pressure bore down on everyone.
The countenances of those from the Hua Clan, Wang Clan, Star-Seizing Manor and the other transcendent powers were all incredibly unsightly to behold. What exactly happened? Why would the Pill Emperor give such an order?
The Pill Emperor Hall shall enter closed-door seclusion, severing all grudges with the external world for an indefinite period of time.
Such an order caused countless people to be in an uproar. They knew that this definitely had something to do with what happened after the Pill Emperor Hall's constellation enveloped the Pill Emperor Hall.
Because, even if the Pill Emperor didn't say it, the others wouldn't dare to say it as well.
The Pill Emperor gave such an order because of the words left behind by that supreme expert. What happened today was not to be leaked to the outside world. Once it was leaked, the Pill Emperor Hall would be purged from the Pill Emperor Hall.
This meant that for those who knew of this matter, they had to be firmly controlled and confined within the Pill Emperor Hall.
He had no choice but to give such an order. He didn't know who would flee the Pill Emperor Hall out of fear and divulge this secret. As the Pill Emperor, he naturally wouldn't allow such a thing to happen.
The experts from the Pill Emperor Hall naturally understood the reason why the Pill Emperor gave such an order. Earlier, many thoughts flashed through their minds, and there were indeed some who wanted to flee. After offending such a terrifying character, they had no way to resist, they had no ability to resist. That was akin to a gigantic boulder pressing down on them, although it didn't directly crush them to death.
But behind them, there was still a demon-level existence like Qin Wentian. One day, he would descend upon the Pill Emperor Hall and punish them for all the hatred they had for him. None of them had the ability to resist, none of them dared to pursue and kill Qin Wentian. They could only wait, wait for the end of the world to descend. This was simply a dead knot.
Qin Wentian didn't directly destroy the Pill Emperor Hall, yet he had cast a shadow over the entire Pill Emperor Hall. The hearts of everyone present felt as though there was a weight of ten thousand jin weighing down on them.
And the person with the heaviest guts was none other than Luo He. Feeling the cold gazes of the crowd, Luo He only felt her entire body turning cold.
Was this really her fault? Naturally not entirely. For the sake of their ancestor, anyone would be willing to sacrifice a Qin Wentian, a Mo Qingcheng. But on the surface, she was the mastermind. She was the one who ignited the flames of hatred in Qin Wentian's heart, causing him to slaughter his way into the Pill Emperor Hall.
The Pill Emperor also turned his gaze onto Luo He. He wanted to punish Luo He, but now that things have come to this, what use was punishment? Everything they had done to Qin Wentian, that crazy young man was willing to disregard everything, dragging the sword for a hundred thousand miles. Would the young man who had transformed into a demon in the Pill Emperor Hall be able to forgive them for what they had done to Mo Qingcheng?
This hatred, could only be washed away with fresh blood.
Staring at the towering demon sword, this demon sword was like a pillar of humiliation to the Pill Emperor Hall. From now on, it would always be there, waiting for its owner to come and pluck it out from the ground, destroying this ancient great hall. How cruel was this reality? It was as cruel as what they did to Qin Wentian today.
At that time, Qin Wentian had no strength to resist, he could only fight with his life on the line.
The others also cast a deep glance at the demon sword before turning and departing the area.
How would they dare to refuse the Pill Emperor's banishment? It was just that the doubts in their hearts couldn't be resolved.
Zong Yi was also among the crowd. He had been observing everything that Qin Wentian had done. With regards to the successor of the Azure Emperor, today's events had truly shocked him. When he saw how helpless Qin Wentian was, his heart was filled with anxiety. But with a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant acting, he didn't even have the qualifications to participate. If he acted to save Qin Wentian, other than sending himself to death, there was no other use.
At this moment, the image of that wild and violent demonified silhouette was still resounding in his mind. Was he still there?
Zong Yi had a feeling that Qin Wentian was definitely still alive. If not, the Pill Emperor Hall wouldn't have acted in such a manner.
Perhaps there was a secret behind that young man that he didn't know about.
Very swiftly, everyone left, bringing along boundless bewilderment as they returned to their respective halls.
The Pill Emperor Hall was still as silent as ever. They only stared at the Pill Emperor, not daring to speak.
Pressure, there was only pressure in the air.
"Without my command, no one is allowed to take a single step out of the Pill Emperor Hall." The Pill Emperor slowly spoke. After which, he lifted his feet and walked towards the direction of the Pill Emperor Hall that was split into two. Nobody knew what he was thinking in his heart at this moment.
"Between a single thought. Before my father died, he told me these four words. Only now did I truly comprehend the meaning behind it. What does it mean by 'between a single thought'?" The Pill Emperor murmured, his back view filled with the vicissitudes of time.
With a single thought, the reputation of the Pill Emperor Hall was destroyed.
From the height of glory to the point of utter destruction, it actually happened in the span of a single thought.
Luo He's body trembled violently. That voice had moved her so intensely.
Wasn't all of this caused by a single thought of hers?
"Qingcheng." At this moment, Luo He thought of her outstanding disciple, Mo Qingcheng. Yet, she had single-handedly sent her disciple to her grave.
…
The crowd from the Star-Seizing Manor slowly departed. Their brows were all tightly furrowed. Up ahead, a middle-aged man clad in robes made of constellations spoke, "What do you think of the matter today?"
"The Pill Emperor Hall seems to have suffered a great loss this time. I suspect that Qin Wentian was rescued by someone else." Another person replied, his words causing the heart of the person who asked the question to shudder. He then murmured, "Being able to rescue someone from the clutches of the Pill Emperor, heavily injuring two Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants and even retreating safely. What level of strength does he have? He should be able to kill many experts from the Pill Emperor Hall right? Why didn't he do so?"
The person who spoke earlier frowned as he shook his head. He had no way to explain this.
If there really was such a character, why didn't he act against those from the Pill Emperor Hall?
They couldn't understand.
Maybe, Qin Wentian had already fallen.
"No matter what, the hatred between us and Qin Wentian isn't too great. In the future, if he's still alive, he would definitely have reinforcements that are strong enough to contend against the Pill Emperor Hall. At that time, we shouldn't antagonize him anymore." That person slowly spoke, as the others nodded their heads. Indeed, if Qin Wentian was still alive, it would be best not to antagonize him.
Not only for the Star-Seizing Manor, all the transcendent powers here had the same thought. If Qin Wentian died, so be it. But if he was still alive …
…
The news of what happened in the Pill Emperor Hall swiftly spread throughout the entire Moon Continent, and even to the entire nine prefectures of Grand Xia.
A month later, Qin Wentian's deeds in the Pill Emperor Hall caused a sensation in Grand Xia. In fact, it was even turned into a children's song, sung by countless people.
At the bottom of the cliff, the demon sword howled. Blood fed the demon sword, dragging it for a hundred thousand miles, ascending the Pill Emperor Hall alone.
Unwillingness to part with love, unquenchable hatred. Transforming into an ancient demon, a great roc with a wingspan of three thousand meters, slashing apart the Pill Emperor Hall with his sword.
The birth of dried bones, the appearance of a Pill Emperor, life and death severed by the heavens. Who was this young man? The top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings, Qin Wentian!
