In the inn, the others returned one after another. Upon learning that everyone was safe and sound, Qin Wentian set his heart at ease.
In the following days, Qin Wentian didn't go out. Other than cultivating, he would spend time with Mo Qingcheng. Occasionally, he would find some time to drink and chat with Fan Le and the others. Naturally, he didn't forget to inquire about Bai Qing's whereabouts.
So it turned out that back then after Fan Le and the others exited the Royal Tomb, they gathered together and explored a few secret realms in Grand Xia. Coincidentally, they went to a forbidden ground in Grand Xia, the Devil Statue Cliff, and encountered many dangers there. In fact, they almost couldn't even walk out from there, losing their lives.
It was Bai Qing who saved them. They couldn't forget that in front of the towering devil statue, Bai Qing had unleashed the Chaotic Art of the Art of the Heavenly Devil, staring at the awakening devil statue. Bai Qing had bought them a split second of time, allowing them to exit safely. However, Bai Qing was still trapped in the Devil Statue Cliff, no one knew if she was dead or alive.
Upon hearing this news, Qin Wentian was extremely worried for Bai Qing's safety. But according to Ouyang, although Bai Qing had roamed together with them, she was extremely cold and didn't like to speak. Nobody knew what she was thinking in her heart, but they could all sense the loneliness and depression in her heart. Even if it wasn't for the sake of saving them, Bai Qing wouldn't have left the Devil Statue Cliff. She would continue to stay there, pursuing the unknown mysteries, even if she lost her life.
Yun Mengyi was a female, she should be the one who understood Bai Qing's state of heart the most. Her words caused Qin Wentian to feel uneasy. Yun Mengyi stared at Qin Wentian, telling him that Bai Qing had entered a heart devil, and she couldn't walk out of it. She treated her own life very lightly.
Yun Mengyi's words lingered in Qin Wentian's heart for a long time, causing him to feel extremely uncomfortable. There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.
He naturally understood that all of this had something to do with Bai Qing's experiences. Back then, the things the Bai Clan did to him had already caused Bai Qing to walk on a stubborn path, starting to cultivate devil arts. Devil arts could easily affect one's state of mind, causing a heart devil to grow. It was extremely difficult to cultivate and if one was careless, they would be consigned to eternal damnation. The personality of devil cultivators were usually extremely stubborn, nobody could change that.
After that, when they met again, Bai Qing had forcefully endured his attack on the Heavenly Fate Ranking Platform, seeking forgiveness on behalf of her father and sister, Autumn Snow. Calling him 'Wentian gege' had caused the pent-up frustrations in her heart to ease a little, and in addition to the fact that he no longer held grudges against Bai Qingsong and Autumn Snow, Bai Qing finally showed signs of improvement. But after that, her master died tragically, and he, Qin Wentian, was also heavily injured.
Thinking back to the time when he was young, that innocent and adorable little lass always liked to follow behind him, calling him Wentian gege. Qin Wentian couldn't help but feel a little unbearable in his heart. He definitely had to make a trip back to Grand Xia to settle the matters there and find that lass Bai Qing.
As for Qin Wentian, he had always been seriously cultivating and had never left the inn before. This wasn't merely because he was worried about the revenge of Di Shi and the others. Back then, he had personally witnessed the four era-suppressing geniuses, including Di Shi, his mortal enemy. Each and every one of them were exceedingly talented, and in addition to the other four, as well as the geniuses from the nine great sects and ancient countries, one could very well imagine how intense the competition in the Immortal Martial Realm would be. Qin Wentian hoped that he could increase his strength as much as possible.
The Immortal Martial Realm was known by the people of the Royal Sacred Region as the burial ground for Heaven's Chosen. This wasn't just an exaggeration. This time around, it was unknown how many Heaven's Chosen would be eliminated, and as for those who managed to survive, they would definitely be able to stand out.
...
The Immortal Martial Realm was located outside the Immortal Martial City. This ancient city was built around the Immortal Martial Realm.
Every ten years, the Immortal Martial Realm was an independent realm. It was rumored that the master of the Immortal Martial Realm was an immortal, a character on the same level as the sect leader of the Royal Sacred Sect, the hegemon of the Royal Sacred Region. He was a legendary existence above Celestial Phenomenon.
There was also a rumor that the Immortal Martial Realm was held once every ten years, and it was precisely to filter out the geniuses of the Royal Sacred Region, allowing all the Heaven's Chosen to have a chance to enter the Immortal Martial Realm once in their lifetime. The reason for this was because the master of the Immortal Martial Realm was searching for a successor.
In any case, there were many rumors regarding the Immortal Martial Realm, but there were only a few that most people were willing to believe. Although it was known as the burial ground for Heaven's Chosen, there were still countless geniuses who were willing to roam the Immortal Martial Realm.
This was the golden age of the entire Royal Sacred Region, nobody would be willing to miss it. This burial ground for Heaven's Chosen was filled with boundless good fortune, and there were countless geniuses who rose up from the Immortal Martial Realm. For those whose names were inscribed on the ranking monument outside the Immortal Martial Realm, many of them had already become leaders of ancient clans, human emperors of ancient countries, and sect leaders of great sects.
At this moment, outside the Immortal Martial Realm, there was a sea of people, so vast that one couldn't see the end of it with a single glance. Most probably, all the people in the Immortal Martial Realm were gathered here.
This was the first time Qin Wentian witnessed such a grand scene. Back then, the ranking battle of the Heavenly Fate Rankings in Grand Xia was already extremely magnificent, but when compared to the number of people who came to the Immortal Martial Realm, there was simply no way they could be mentioned in the same breath. Firstly, the number of people in Grand Xia couldn't be compared to the Royal Sacred Region, the disparity was too great. Not only that, the number of experts in Grand Xia was also far from being comparable to the Immortal Martial Realm.
"It's really shocking." Fatty Fan Le grinned. The group of them soared through the air, only to see that the air was filled with people. They didn't dare to move too fast, as they were afraid of colliding with others.
"Compared to the Royal Sacred Region, Grand Xia is truly a desolate land of desolation. No wonder those experts couldn't be bothered to go to Grand Xia," Ouyang Kuangsheng commented in a low voice, he was similarly shocked.
"Grand Xia was once extremely powerful, it was one of the three great empires in the Royal Sacred Region. It's just that after that, there were people who coveted it and plundered the treasury of Grand Xia. After a few thousand years, the experts of Grand Xia all left Grand Xia, resulting in the current Grand Xia." Yun Mengyi sighed. This was like a vicious cycle. The stronger the place, the more geniuses there would be. And in the weaker places, even if demon-level geniuses were born, they wouldn't be able to retain them.
This was a cultivation pyramid. The strong were all trying to climb to the top. Everyone was on their path, including the Heaven Chosen of the Royal Sacred Region. One day, even if the Royal Sacred Region couldn't retain them, they would still head to an even vaster world.
"How many people are there? Even a million is considered too little. Can the Immortal Martial Realm even hold so many people?" Fan Le's lips twitched.
"The majority of them are here to spectate, and there are also some who are here to accompany their friends or send them off. For those who have truly stepped into the Immortal Martial Realm, it's already not bad if there's one out of ten." Ye Lingshuang replied. "After all, ordinary people wouldn't dare to step into the Immortal Martial Realm. Just this number of people is sufficient to cause ordinary people to retreat."
"Thank you beautiful sister." Fan Le blinked his eyes as he stared at Ye Lingshuang. His narrowed eyes gleamed with a light that caused Ye Lingshuang to be speechless. She didn't know where Qin Wentian found such a shameless friend, his eyes would light up the moment he saw a beauty. However, Ye Lingshuang also understood Fan Le's temperament. According to Fatty's words, the love of beauty was innate.
"Qingcheng, don't enter the Immortal Martial Realm." Qin Wentian held her hand, his gaze gentle.
Mo Qingcheng had a sweet smile on her face as she replied in a low voice, "Why can't I enter?"
"Your talent lies in alchemy. The Immortal Martial Realm is a place to temper one's martial path, it's fine even if your cultivation is weaker. I don't wish to see you in any danger." How could Qin Wentian not know what Mo Qingcheng was thinking? Yet he still gently spoke, causing the smile on Mo Qingcheng's face to grow even sweeter. She nodded her head, "Mhm, I will listen to you. But you have to promise me that you will definitely be careful in the Immortal Martial Realm."
"Don't worry, even if I can bear to lose myself, I can't bear to lose you." Qin Wentian squeezed Mo Qingcheng's dainty hand, causing an expression of shyness to appear on Mo Qingcheng's face. She rolled her eyes at Qin Wentian as she spoke in a lovable voice, "What a glib tongue."
Initially, Qin Wentian had thought of asking Di Tian to help him as well. But after thinking about it, he decided to be more conservative. Di Tian was his other body, if something really happened to him in the Immortal Martial Realm, at the very least, he would still be alive. Hence, he decided to dispel this idea.
The group of them finally arrived at a location near the Immortal Martial Realm. Up ahead, they could see a row of white-robed figures standing in the surroundings of a gigantic ancient monument. On the monument, the words' Immortal Martial Realm 'were engraved, gleaming with a resplendent light.
This hundred meter tall monument was none other than the Immortal Martial Realm Monument. At the same time, it was also the entrance to the Immortal Martial Realm.
About a hundred meters in front of the monument, there were eighty-one stone pillars. The eyes of those in front all gleamed with sharpness as they stared at the stone pillars. The disciples from the ancient clans and sects all radiated a towering aura, as though they wanted to ascend the stone pillars.
The silhouettes of three envoys flickered as they stood on top of the monument. Their gazes swept over the silhouettes before them as their gazes contained a terrifying penetrative power. Anyone who met their gaze, no matter the holy maidens or the princes of ancient countries, would all fall silent. This silence continued on, and gradually, the countless silhouettes all stopped moving. The vast space of a hundred miles was incomparably silent. Just this scene alone caused the hearts of many to quicken.
"Those who have obtained the Immortal Martial Medallion, come up the stone pillars." The envoys in the center of the Immortal Martial Realm indifferently spoke. This voice of his seemed to penetrate through the void, spreading over a hundred miles.
"The eighty-one people who have obtained the Immortal Martial Realm Medallion are the people that the envoys of the Immortal Martial Realm look up to the most. Almost all of them are Heaven Chosen from the nine great sects, ancient countries, and clans." The gazes of the crowd turned to the front only to see a silhouette stepping out, landing on a stone pillar in the center.
"That's Di Shi from the Di Clan, one of the eight era-suppressing geniuses. It's rumored that his younger brother was killed by someone."
After Di Shi, more and more people ascended the stone pillars.
"Gu Liufeng, that's Gu Liufeng, how handsome."
"That must be Li Tian, how majestic."
"The number one beauty under the heavens, Lin Xian`er, she also obtained an Immortal Martial Medallion."
"Who's that? She's actually so beautiful, and her beauty can even be compared to Lin Xian`er. Not only that, her demeanor is extraordinary."
"Princess Jiao Yang of the Grand Zhou Empire is truly outstanding. Who said that women are inferior to men?"
"That's the Saint Child of the Supreme Demon Sect, what a powerful demonic qi."
"Nangong Shuang of the Nangong Aristocrat Clan is here as well. I wonder if the Nangong Aristocrat Clan still hates the Celestial Maiden Sect."
One by one, the geniuses stepped onto the stone pillars. The eighty-one people who stepped onto the stone pillars were all geniuses of the heavens. Their appearance immediately caused a huge commotion.
