In the ancient country of Ye, Ye Lingshuang and Qin Wentian accompanied the Human Emperor for a few more days until his injuries recovered. After that, Qin Wentian and the rest prepared to set off.
Although there was still a period of time before the Immortal Martial Realm opened, heading to the Immortal Martial City in advance to take a look at the various geniuses of the Royal Sacred Region was something that everyone was filled with anticipation.
In the royal palace, the Human Emperor stared at the group of young men before him. At this moment, the tyrannical and imposing aura he exuded during battle had already been retracted. He was now just like a gentle elder.
"Looking at all of you makes me think of myself in the past. The vicissitudes of time, a hundred years have passed in the blink of an eye. Now that all of you are in your prime, don't waste your time. Who hasn't been young and arrogant? Sadly, I don't have the chance to redo things or I would definitely be even crazier than I was back then." The Human Emperor laughed. Qin Wentian and the rest all had smiles on their faces.
"Foster father, you are still as glorious as ever. I'm sure everyone in the world has heard of that battle, executing the traitor's nobility and slaughtering the experts from the Violet Thunder Sect. How glorious, you are even crazier compared to us." Qin Wentian laughed.
"I'm getting old." The Human Emperor smiled as he shook his head. "Wentian, do you really not want to consider it? Those under Shi Xuan's tutelage all have extraordinary strength. If you are willing, I can give you some loyal guards."
"Foster father, right now I'm roaming the outside world, why would I need guards? If in the future when I need manpower, I can always borrow some from foster father." Qin Wentian laughed. Maybe one day when he returns to Grand Xia, he would need the strength of the Human Emperor's subordinates to sweep through the various transcendent powers of Grand Xia. Naturally, he wasn't in a hurry now. If he didn't have enough strength, what did it matter if he borrowed the strength of the Human Emperor? He had to first step into the Celestial Phenomenon Realm before overturning Grand Xia.
"Since you put it this way, in the future when you are roaming the outside world, bring Qingcheng and Lingshuang back to visit me when you are free. This Ye Country is your home." The Human Emperor spoke again. He and Qin Wentian were kindred spirits and had accepted Qin Wentian as his foster son. Both of them had no greed in their hearts and if Qin Wentian was willing, he wouldn't mind handing over the Ye Country to Qin Wentian. But since Qin Wentian said that his ambitions weren't here, the Human Emperor wouldn't force him.
"Of course I won't be courteous with you, Foster Father," Qin Wentian said readily, "Foster Father, after we part ways today, let's have a drink and talk again another day."
"Mhm, in the future when you marry Qingcheng, you have to send an invitation to Ye. If not, don't blame me for not recognizing you as my godson."
"How could that be? I still have to ask foster father to preside over my wedding." Upon seeing the Human Emperor pretending to be angry, Qin Wentian laughed. If he was going to marry Qingcheng, how could he not invite the Human Emperor?
"Haha, don't lie to me." The Human Emperor laughed uproariously. After which, he turned his head to Shi Xuan and commanded, "You guys protect Wentian, Lingshuang and the others as they head to the Immortal Martial City. You guys have to protect them until they exit."
"Yes." Shi Xuan bowed. Qin Wentian and the others didn't reject. This trip to the Immortal Martial Realm would be like a raging storm. It was unknown how many people from the major powers would be there. Those princes and princesses of ancient countries, Heaven Chosen from the major clans, Saint Children and Holy Maidens from the ancient sects, all of them had extremely high statuses. They wouldn't care about the ordinary disciples of the Battle Sword Sect.
There was another very important point. When they entered the Immortal Martial Realm and contended against the Heaven Chosen of the Heavenly Martial Realm, their hands would definitely be stained with the blood of disciples from the major powers. Every time they exited the Immortal Martial Realm, there would always be a huge battle.
"Okay, let's move out." The Human Emperor Ye Qingyun stood with his hands clasped behind his back, his black hair fluttering in the wind. The others bowed to the Human Emperor before their silhouettes flickered as they soared up into the air, riding on an ancient void sail. This was a type of divine weapon that allowed one to travel at an extremely fast speed. Everyone stood on the sail as they soared up into the clouds.
Sunlight cascaded downwards. Qin Wentian turned his head back and glanced at the majestic ancient palace. The Human Emperor Ye Qingyun still had a smile on his face as he sent them off.
Staring at the Human Emperor as well as the ancient palace, Qin Wentian's heart was filled with emotions. This trip to Ye had caused him to be moved, and it had also strengthened his conviction to pursue the path of cultivation.
Even now, the scene of the battle with the Human Emperor was still vivid in his mind.
This was a world of martial arts, a world of the strong. The victor was king and the loser was vilified. The Human Emperor had never offended anyone before, but as the Human Emperor of an ancient country, his authority towered up into the heavens, and he even had treasures in his possession. All of these became the reason why he was coveted by others. Even with the Human Emperor's overwhelming combat prowess, he was still forced to such a state. If it wasn't for the fact that the poison in his body had been cured, the fate of the Human Emperor's bloodline could very well be imagined.
Shifting his gaze over, Qin Wentian inclined his head and stared at the blazing sun hanging high up in the sky. His eyes gleamed with an incomparably resolute conviction.
…
The Immortal Martial Realm was located in the northwest region of the Royal Sacred Region. The Immortal Martial Realm would only open once every ten years, and it had already existed for tens of thousands of years. As time passed, outside of the once desolate Immortal Martial Realm, a majestic city rose up from the ground. This was none other than the Immortal Martial City of today. Now, this Immortal Martial City had already become an ancient city, exuding an aura of vicissitudes, yet it didn't lose its majestic grandeur.
It was said that this ancient Immortal Martial City had witnessed the rise and fall of the characters of the Royal Sacred Region. Although this was an exaggeration, wasn't it the truth? For those heaven-shaking characters of the Royal Sacred Sect, many of them had once left their footprints in this ancient Immortal Martial City, entering the Immortal Martial Realm before.
And now, the ten-year deadline had arrived. This ancient Immortal Martial City once again welcomed countless experts. The entire city was filled with people, completely different from the tranquility of normal days.
In the airspace above the ancient city, demonic beasts roamed freely, and there were even several rarely seen greater demons that exuded a baleful aura that towered up into the sky. There were even some greater demons that were merely mounts.
On the ancient pathway leading to the Immortal Martial City, in the air, there was an endless stream of people.
And at this moment, in a certain location in the air, a thunderous rumbling sound echoed out as a terrifying aura permeated the air, shocking countless silhouettes. They inclined their heads and stared up in the air, only to see a group of experts riding on demonic beasts, exuding an unfathomable aura.
In the center of these humans and demonic beasts, there was a terrifying greater demon that exuded a baleful aura. It had a pair of blood-colored eyes, and just a single glance at it would cause the hearts of people to tremble. This greater demon's body was gigantic, and its entire body was pitch-black. However, a resplendent light could be seen reflecting off its body, causing people to feel a sense of danger. Its claws were so sharp that they could easily tear apart mountains.
"Blood-eyed Demonic Wolf." The hearts of the crowd trembled as they recalled a type of demonic beast. This demonic beast resembled a wolf, but its size was even more terrifying compared to a tiger or leopard. It was filled with power, and exuded the aura of a king.
This Blood-eyed Demonic Wolf was pulling a carriage in the air, and it was unknown what sort of character was seated within.
"That's someone from the Supreme Demon Sect of the Western Domain. It's rumored that the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect has unparalleled talent, able to make all demonic beasts submit to him. His talent in beast taming is extraordinary, and he's one of the strongest contenders to become the next sect leader of the Supreme Demon Sect. It's said that the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect is also about to enter the Immortal Martial Realm. Seems like he has arrived."
A voice drifted out, causing the hearts of the crowd to shiver. The Supreme Demon Sect of the Western Domain was an extremely dangerous ancient sect. Their strength was extremely terrifying, and no one dared to antagonize them.
Ten miles away, in the air, a group of terrifying silhouettes could be seen. They were all clad in golden armor and wielded golden long spears in their hands, exuding a resplendent light. Everywhere they passed by, people would have to stare up at them. These people were none other than experts from the Radiant Gold ancient country of the Royal Sacred Region. They were proficient in combat and had terrifying combat prowess.
And in another place, in the clouds, nine flood dragons could be seen soaring through the skies, pulling a war chariot. Everywhere they passed by, there was no one who didn't retreat in fear. Wherever the gazes of the figures on the war chariot passed by, no one dared to match their gaze. These people were from one of the hegemonic powers of the Royal Sacred Region, the Devil Dragon Island.
Other than this, there were also many other terrifying powers that had already arrived or were currently on their way here. The nine great sects that belonged to the Royal Sacred Sect all sent people here, and they came in different batches. For example, Qin Wentian and those from the Battle Sword Sect, as well as those from the other Battle Sword Sects, would definitely be here as well.
Any major power would have countless disciples, and the sect wouldn't force you to enter the Immortal Martial Realm. Everyone had to go willingly. For example, those from the Supreme Demon Sect and Radiant Gold ancient country, it was only because of the appearance of important characters, such as the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect and the Crown Prince of Radiant Gold ancient country.
At this moment, in an elegant inn in the Immortal Martial City, Qin Wentian and his group were seated by the window. Qin Wentian, Ye Lingshuang, Mo Qingcheng, Qiao Yu and a few other beauties from the Medicine Sovereign Valley were all seated together, while the others were seated at separate tables.
His gaze would occasionally turn to the skies, Qin Wentian's eyes were filled with a faint smile. It had already been three days since they arrived in the Immortal Martial City. They stayed in an inn nearby and would occasionally stroll around the city. When they were tired, they would eat some snacks in the inn, living a carefree and carefree life. However, every time Qin Wentian saw the shocking scene in the air, great waves would appear in his heart. Not too long in the future, he would have to contend with these people for supremacy in the Immortal Martial Realm.
"As the saying goes, beauties are a feast for the eyes. Junior Brother Qin really knows how to enjoy life." At this moment, a voice drifted over from a table beside them. So it turned out that Liu Yun was filled with envy and jealousy when he saw Qin Wentian sitting at the same table with so many beauties. Sometimes, he also wanted to join in the fun, but Ye Lingshuang's and Qiao Yu's gazes were sufficient to force him to retreat.
"Nowadays beauties are as common as the clouds in the Immortal Martial City. Even in an inn, beauties can be seen passing by at any time. How could Senior Brother Liu Yun be lonely?" Qin Wentian laughed. Not long ago, there was a group of valiant beauties passing by the inn. That fellow Liu Yun whistled, attracting many murderous gazes. If it wasn't for the fact that the Immortal Martial City was filled with experts, making it so that no one dared to cause trouble, those beauties would have already acted against Liu Yun.
"Speaking of beauties, I have no choice but to mention the Celestial Maiden Sect. I heard that the number one beauty in the Royal Sacred Region, the Celestial Maiden Sect, has already arrived in the Immortal Martial City. Junior Brother Qin, should we go and take a look?" A bright light flashed in Liu Yun's eyes as he spoke of the Celestial Maiden Sect.
"What Celestial Maiden Sect? They are clearly a bunch of devilish girls. Also, who doesn't know that Lin Xian`er has the ability to cause chaos and bewitch the hearts of men? Who knows how many people have fallen under her skirt? If you want to become the plaything of that demoness, just do it yourself. Why must you drag Wentian into this?" Ye Lingshuang furrowed her brows, as though she was extremely fearful of this Celestial Maiden Sect.
"Haha, don't I want to test Junior Brother Qin? Lin Xian`er from the Celestial Maiden Sect dares to claim that she's the number one beauty in the world, but how could the beauty of the Holy Maiden lose out to her?" Liu Yun laughed.
"Although Qingcheng's beauty is definitely not inferior to that demoness, don't you know that demoness is most proficient in bewitching the hearts of men? How many geniuses in the Royal Sacred Region have already fallen head over heels for her? Yet you still want to get close to her? Don't think I don't know that Lin Xian`er spread the news that anyone with the Immortal Martial Realm Medallion would be able to become her guest. Are you trying to make use of Junior Brother Qin?" Ye Lingshuang glared at Liu Yun as she spoke.
Qin Wentian couldn't help but feel curious when he saw the wariness in Ye Lingshuang's eyes. This Lin Xian`er from the Celestial Maiden Sect actually had such charm that even a beauty like Ye Lingshuang was so fearful of her!
