When Qin Wentian heard Lin Shuai's words, he couldn't help but feel gratitude towards the ancestor of the Battle Sword Sect whom he had never met before. One could very well imagine how powerful the ancestor's words were when he said 'if there's anyone bullying the weak to deal with you, it's equivalent to declaring war on the Battle Sword Sect'. This meant that at the very least in public, any Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants who wanted to act against him would have to think twice before doing so.
As for dealing with him in the dark, Qin Wentian didn't doubt it at all. This was a given. Leaving aside that elder of the Royal Sacred Sect, the death of Shang Tong from the Grand Shang Empire was already sufficient for the Grand Shang Empire to assassinate him.
The elders of the Battle Sword Sect as well as Lin Shuai clearly understood this, hence they asked him if he was willing to join the Royal Sacred Sect. If he chose to join the Royal Sacred Sect now, it would undoubtedly be the best method to avoid being targeted.
However, if he chose to join the Royal Sacred Sect like this, Qin Wentian was filled with reluctance in his heart. It was like he was running away from something. Also, maybe because of the death of that elder, the Royal Sacred Sect didn't send him an invitation. Although Qin Wentian didn't care about face, at the very least, it would show that the Royal Sacred Sect valued him.
If not, if the Royal Sacred Sect didn't value him enough and felt that he was responsible for the death of that elder, what was the point of him joining the Royal Sacred Sect then? Why didn't he choose the Immortal Martial Realm?
After all, the Royal Sacred Sect wasn't part of the Battle Sword Faction. The Battle Sword Sect was only a single faction.
"Senior Lin Shuai, I have no intentions of joining the Royal Sacred Sect yet," Qin Wentian calmly spoke, his words causing a strange light to flicker in Lin Shuai's eyes.
Qin Wentian didn't say that he didn't intend to join temporarily, but rather, he didn't intend to join yet … This sentence contained another layer of meaning. It was hard to say if he, Qin Wentian, would be willing to join the Royal Sacred Sect or not.
So what if they were a transcendent power of the Royal Sacred Region? Qin Wentian had a father who could kill so many that even devils and immortals would weep. He knew that even if he joined the Royal Sacred Sect, it would only be a temporary period and he would have to leave sooner or later. Since this was the case, if the Royal Sacred Sect didn't value him, what was he going to join for? Hence, it was hard to say if he was willing or not.
The Royal Sacred Sect was challenging him, but wasn't he challenging the Royal Sacred Sect as well?
After being stunned for a moment, Lin Shuai nodded and patted Qin Wentian on the shoulder. "You have courage. Senior Brother supports you. During this period of time, you should focus on your cultivation. I will bring your words to Master and ask for his opinion."
"Thank you, Senior Brother Lin." Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. Lin Shuai then left.
After Lin Shuai left, Qin Wentian didn't immediately enter closed-door seclusion. Instead, he took out his spatial brush and started inscribing new spatial scrolls. Although right now his name shook the entire Royal Sacred Region, there were still many dangers awaiting him. Naturally, he had to make some preparations. At the same time, he also needed to inscribe some spatial scrolls for Qin Le and the others to use.
This time around, Qin Wentian inscribed quite a number of spatial scrolls for Fan Le and the others. After which, he entered closed-door seclusion again, cultivating the innate techniques and cultivation arts he obtained in the Immortal Martial Realm. Although three months of time was extremely short, he would still do his best to increase his strength by a few notches.
In the blink of an eye, two months had already passed since the end of the Immortal Martial Realm. Qin Wentian who was in the Battle Sword Sect was still living a peaceful life. But in the Royal Sacred Region, the frequency of his name appearing was the highest, even surpassing Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu.
During this period of time, many things happened in the Royal Sacred Region. For example, countless powers extended olive branches to Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu. This was especially so for Gu Liufeng. After all, he was still alone and had never joined any power before. Naturally, the various powers wanted to recruit him.
And the one that caused the most commotion was undoubtedly the invitation from the Royal Sacred Sect. As the top three rankers of the Immortal Martial Realm, they had no connection with any of the major powers in the Royal Sacred Sect. Hence, there were quite a few waves of experts from the Royal Sacred Sect who wanted to invite them over.
Finally, when the Core Faction extended an invitation to Hua Taixu, Hua Taixu finally agreed to join the Royal Sacred Sect.
This matter caused a huge commotion.
Hua Taixu of the Great Emptiness Sect joined the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect and he even became the personal disciple of a character with an extremely high status. His status was many times higher compared to Jun Yu back then. One could very well imagine what kind of commotion it would cause if this news was circulated back to Grand Xia. Most probably, the Hua Faction would definitely be in an uproar.
The genius of the transcendent power Hua Clan of the Moon Continent, the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings back then, Hua Taixu had finally achieved an unprecedented achievement in the history of the Hua Clan.
Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu were ranked equally on the Immortal Martial Realm monument. In addition, Gu Liufeng's fame far surpassed Hua Taixu. Since Hua Taixu received an invitation from the Core Faction, Gu Liufeng who didn't join any of the major powers naturally received the same invitation as well.
However, Gu Liufeng didn't agree nor reject. He only said that he needed some time to consider and the Royal Sacred Sect wouldn't force him.
However, there was a rumor circulating around the Royal Sacred Region that there were people who saw Gu Liufeng in the Immortal Martial City. He seemed to be in the Immortal Martial Realm, and the reason was unknown. Only after a long period of time did people start to feel regret. That was actually the last time Gu Liufeng appeared in the Royal Sacred Region. From then on, Gu Liufeng completely disappeared, his whereabouts unknown. It was unknown how many outstanding female cultivators felt sadness in their hearts.
The calm lake severs the moon, Yi shoots the nine heavens, the incomparably handsome white-robed Gu Liufeng … could it be that they would never see him again?!
The other top rankers of the Immortal Martial Realm also received invitations. Compared to these people, the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm, Qin Wentian, was' completely ignored '.
However, everyone could understand that it wasn't that the attractiveness of Qin Wentian couldn't be compared to Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu. It was because his situation was unique. Firstly, as a disciple of the Battle Sword Sect, he had already severed all thoughts of joining the major powers in the Royal Sacred Region other than the Royal Sacred Sect. The only power that had the qualifications to invite Qin Wentian was the power that invited Gu Liufeng and Hua Taixu, the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Region.
However, an elder of the Royal Sacred Sect died because of Qin Wentian. There were many people in the Royal Sacred Sect who wanted Qin Wentian's life. Under such a unique circumstance, it wasn't strange that Qin Wentian didn't receive an invitation. The Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect also didn't directly issue an order to punish Qin Wentian. This indicated that the Core Faction had already adopted a laissez-faire attitude.
In the Battle Sword Sect, when the news of Hua Taixu and Gu Liufeng was transmitted to Qin Wentian's ears, his gaze turned to the horizons as great waves rose in his heart.
He knew that as to why Gu Liufeng appeared in the Immortal Martial City, it was because he had already made his choice. He wanted to join a power of the Immortal Martial Realm and leave the Royal Sacred Region. As for Hua Taixu, he chose the Royal Sacred Sect and not the Immortal Martial Realm. Maybe, his clan in Grand Xia had influenced his decision. From the conversation he had with Hua Taixu back then, Qin Wentian understood that Hua Taixu couldn't let go of his clan. Hence, he chose to temporarily stay behind.
These two absolute geniuses chose different paths. In that case, where would Qin Wentian's path be?
"Wentian, Hua Taixu has already made his choice. What about you? What do you plan to do?" Ouyang Kuangsheng stood beside Qin Wentian as he asked in a low voice.
"I'll head to the Sacred Battle Platform to complete the arranged battle. After that, I'll make a trip back to Grand Xia to complete the matters I've yet to complete. After that, I'll make a trip back to my hometown and hold a wedding ceremony with Qingcheng. At that time, maybe I'll make a decision." Qin Wentian mumbled, a warm smile could be seen on his face. He and Qingcheng had already consummated their marriage, how could he not give Qingcheng a status and hold a wedding ceremony?
He wanted to set the location of the wedding in their hometown, the Chu Country. It was the place where they met and knew each other.
"Mhm, it's about time for me to return. Jiang Ting is still waiting for me, I owe her." Ouyang Kuangsheng laughed. Upon thinking of Jiang Ting, the resolute lines on his face softened.
"Time passes so quickly." Qin Wentian sighed. In the blink of an eye, they had both experienced the vicissitudes of life and death, the vicissitudes of life. He could still remember the first time they met in the Celestial Lake Palace.
"That's right, time passes so quickly. Who would have thought that the young man from the Celestial Lake Palace back then would already have such accomplishments today? Back then, you traversed ten thousand miles and transformed into a demon, destroying the Pill Emperor Hall with a single sword strike. Now, your name has already shaken the entire Royal Sacred Region. Do you have any confidence in returning to Grand Xia?" Ouyang Kuangsheng smiled as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"If the demon sword is unleashed, who in Grand Xia would be able to stand against it?" Qin Wentian laughed. "However, I wonder if the demon sword that's currently embedded in the Pill Emperor Hall is willing to be used by me."
Naturally, even if he didn't use the demon sword, he could still transform into a great roc and dominate Grand Xia.
"The demon sword might be a demon, but with you as its master, it wouldn't be a humiliation to it." Ouyang Kuangsheng laughed uproariously. "Wentian, when I marry Jiang Ting, it won't be a grand affair. But you have to be the witness for our marriage."
Ouyang Kuangsheng's words had a deeper meaning to them. In truth, back then when the Ouyang Ancestor broke the promise between him and Qin Wentian because of Jun Yu, Ouyang Kuangsheng already had a knot between him and the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan. After exiting the Royal Tomb, he returned to the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Ouyang Ancestor no longer passed the inheritance rights to him.
If not, how could the marriage between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Jiang Clan not be a grand affair? There was only one reason. This pair of lovers of the past were no longer blessed by the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan.
"Sure, I will." Qin Wentian seemed to have understood Ouyang Kuangsheng's meaning. A smile appeared on his face as he silently mused in his heart that the wedding between Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting would definitely be blessed!
"Let's go for a stroll." Qin Wentian spoke as he slowly walked out.
"Where are we going?" Ouyang Kuangsheng followed after him.
"To the grass hut, comprehending the swords." As the sound of Qin Wentian's voice faded, he soared into the air. An instant later, outside the grass hut, on the ancient mountain peak, the bodies of many trembled violently as they stared at the young man, Qin Wentian.
"Qin Wentian is going to comprehend the swords for the second time." This news instantly circulated around. Right now, there wasn't a single person in the Battle Sword Sect who didn't know that Qin Wentian had broken the record for comprehending the swords for the first time, comprehending fourteen sword strikes.
After obtaining the first rank in the Immortal Martial Realm, how could Qin Wentian not cause a commotion when he entered the grass hut again?
