How could Qin Wentian forget the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace?
His other incarnation, Di Tian, was still in the Royal Tomb of Grand Xia. Within the Royal Tomb, Di Tian had obtained the inheritance of the Xia Emperor, the founder of Grand Xia. What the Xia Emperor gave him the most was the key to the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace.
How ancient was the Xia Emperor? Back then, he barged into the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace. From this, one could very well imagine how many years this immortal palace had existed for. He remembered that the Xia Emperor told Di Tian that the Great Dream Immortal Art originated from the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace and there were many other treasures there. The Xia Emperor had yet to truly reach the core of the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace and had yet to fully comprehend its secrets. Maybe, he was just an adventurer who had entered the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace.
This was also the reason why the Vermilion Bird was the totem of Grand Xia.
And now, Qin Wentian actually knew that the Royal Sacred Sect had gathered the geniuses of the nine great sects and the Royal Sacred Region just for the sake of entering the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace.
"Seems like Di Tian has to leave the Royal Tomb." Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness. Since they wanted to enter the Vermilion Bird Immortal Palace, Di Tian had a key in his hands. Naturally, he had to send it over. Although he didn't know if it would be of any use, it was better to be prepared. According to the Xia Emperor, that key was something even the Royal Sacred Region might not have.
"Why? You have an idea?" The old man smiled as he stared at the gleam in Qin Wentian's eyes.
"Will the Royal Sacred Sect use us as cannon fodder?" Qin Wentian asked.
"I don't know about that, but I can't rule out such a possibility." The eyes of the old man similarly flashed with a dazzling light. The one who called for this gathering was someone from the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. This faction was the leader of the Royal Sacred Sect, commanding the entire Royal Sacred Region. They were extremely stubborn in their pursuit of strength and he already knew that there were a few extremely terrifying characters at the Heavenly Dipper Realm in the Royal Sacred Sect. As for what they were thinking in their hearts, he could only guess and had no way of knowing the truth.
When Qin Wentian heard this, he understood that the old man was already reminding him that this possibility could not be ruled out. As for who would be the cannon fodder, it would depend on how much confidence one had.
"Are these two your girlfriends?" The old man cast a glance at Mo Qingcheng and Qing 'er before shifting his gaze to Qin Wentian with a sneaky smile on his face. No matter how one looked at it, that smile was extremely wretched.
The gazes of Mo Qingcheng and Qing'er landed on Qin Wentian at the same time. Qin Wentian silently cursed the old bastard in front of him. After which, he only heard Little Rascal replying in his baby-like voice, "Mhm, mhm, both are mine."
"Bang!" Qing'er slapped Little Rascal again. This time around, Little Rascal was directly slammed onto the ground as it let out whimpering sounds. It stared at Qing'er with an aggrieved expression, "You bullied me. In the future, Wentian, after you marry her, you will help me bully her."
Qin Wentian's face was filled with black lines. Staring at the Cold gaze of Qing'er, he couldn't help but shiver. He silently cursed in his heart that Little Rascal would definitely be taught a lesson when he returned.
"Now, are you interested in becoming my disciple?" The old man turned to Qing'er as he asked.
"Nope." Qing'er replied in a Cold voice, causing the old man to be dumbfounded. Staring at the juniors behind them, he couldn't help but sweat profusely in his heart. Today, his face had been completely thrown away by these two brats.
"This lord was only joking with you. Yes, joking." The old man coughed as he spoke with a straight face. "Okay, let's go. With your measly talent, I can't even be bothered to guide you."
"Oh." Qin Wentian wasn't polite at all as he turned and departed. The others were still staring at him, as though they understood what he meant.
"Why are you guys still not scramming?" The old man cursed in rage. A moment later, the group of them all fled with their tails between their legs. Their speed was truly extremely fast …
…
Three days passed very quickly. The hegemon of the Royal Sacred Region, the Royal Sacred Sect, welcomed many peak-level Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns. There were young men among them, as well as middle-aged men over a hundred years of age. They came from the various major powers and were currently gathered in the Royal Sacred Sect.
Although many of the major powers didn't know what the Royal Sacred Sect was doing, they still didn't want to miss out on this opportunity. It was extremely rare for the Royal Sacred Sect to issue such a summons. Since they wanted to gather the experts of the major powers, there must be something extremely important that they didn't want to miss out on.
After entering the entrance of the Royal Sacred Sect, they ascended the flight of stairs leading to the territory of the Core Faction. In a training ground, there were many experts from the various major powers gathered here.
Qin Wentian also arrived. His perception swept over and he actually felt a faint pressure. These people might not be as famous as the era-suppressing geniuses, but the auras they exuded were all at the peak of Heavenly Dipper. Not only that, these people must have comprehended at least one true intent of the Mandate.
Among the crowd, Qin Wentian saw Fan Miaoyu and Wu Teng.
"Qin Wentian, you've arrived as well." Wu Teng and Fan Miaoyu walked towards Qin Wentian with smiles on their faces. Although they were opponents on the Sacred Battle Platform and were frenziedly fighting against each other, in truth, they had a mutual respect for each other. This was especially so for Qin Wentian. Such an opponent was truly worthy of respect.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head and smiled.
The gazes of several people turned over, all of them staring at Qin Wentian. In fact, there were even some who started whispering in a low voice, not bothering to hide anything.
Recently, Qin Wentian was in the limelight. At the Heavenly Dipper Realm, there was no one else in the entire Royal Sacred Region who was more famous than him.
Ranked first in the Immortal Martial Realm, killing a prince of Grand Shang, and an elder of the Royal Sacred Sect died because of him. Three days ago, he fought against so many outstanding heroes and obtained the position of the top ranker, slaying the era-suppressing genius Di Shi.
The gazes of the crowd that stared at Qin Wentian were filled with coldness. For example, the Heaven's Chosen from the Grand Shang Faction, the experts from the Violet Thunder Sect.
Other than that, because Qin Wentian caused the death of an elder of the Royal Sacred Sect, in addition to his fame, many disciples of the Royal Sacred Sect felt a trace of unhappiness towards Qin Wentian.
"Qin Wentian." At this moment, a voice drifted over. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over, it was none other than the imposing figure who appeared on the Sacred Battle Platform that day. He spoke to Qin Wentian, "Come with me."
After speaking, he turned and departed. Qin Wentian walked out of the crowd and followed behind that person. Upon seeing that person stopping and looking at him, Qin Wentian asked, "Senior, do you have any instructions for me?"
"I'm someone from the Core Faction of the Royal Sacred Sect. I'm sure you should be clear about this. I wish to invite you to join my faction," that person spoke to Qin Wentian, officially extending an invitation to Qin Wentian.
Before this, they had already invited Hua Taixu. As for why they didn't invite Qin Wentian, it was because they cared about the feelings of the Grand Shang Faction. But after that, Qin Wentian's outstanding performance on the Sacred Battle Platform, they decided to officially recruit Qin Wentian.
"Senior, if I choose to join the Royal Sacred Sect and cultivate together with the seniors of the Battle Sword Sect, wouldn't that be the same?" Qin Wentian probed. Although he knew he was tricked by that old fellow, Qin Wentian was still grateful to him. Now that he knew the origin of his connection with the Battle Sword Sect, Qin Wentian had the thought of joining the Battle Sword Faction. Hence, he asked this question.
"It's different." The person before him shook his head. "If you join us, you will naturally belong to the Core Faction. Because of this, many people in the Grand Shang Empire might be unhappy. That's not good, we can suppress it and compensate them appropriately. This matter can end here. In addition, if you join our faction, there would be benefits for you as well."
This person revealed some information, but he didn't explain everything clearly. However, they were willing to forsake the death of an elder in order to recruit Qin Wentian. From this, one could see how highly they regarded Qin Wentian. This was something Qin Wentian was very clear of.
However, asking him to directly join the Core Faction? No matter how he looked at it, Qin Wentian felt that it was somewhat unfair. Although they were both from the Royal Sacred Sect, there was still a difference. He originated from the Battle Sword Sect, if he joined the Core Faction, where would the Battle Sword Sect be placed?
"Senior, this junior still wishes to seriously consider this." Qin Wentian had already indirectly rejected the offer.
The other party was stunned for a moment before he continued, "We will be moving out very soon. Think carefully, this matter is extremely important."
Qin Wentian muttered to himself for a moment before he inclined his head and stared at the other party. "I'm sorry, I still wish to temporarily remain in the Battle Sword Sect to cultivate."
Such an answer evidently caused the other party to be taken aback. After a moment, he nodded his head lightly, "Okay, you can return."
"Junior will take my leave." Qin Wentian couldn't tell whether the other party was happy or angry. The eyes of this person were calm, with no fluctuations of emotions at all. This person was definitely someone even more terrifying compared to the elder from the Royal Sacred Sect.
Qin Wentian walked towards the crowd as the gazes of the crowd were still on him. Someone spoke in a low voice, "This man is none other than Qin Wentian, the top ranker of the Immortal Martial Realm, and is known as unrivalled in Heavenly Dipper."
"Unrivalled in Heavenly Dipper?" A female from the Royal Sacred Sect glanced at Qin Wentian as she emotionlessly spoke, "Those people in the outside world don't know the immensity of the heavens and earth. Do they know what unrivalled in Heavenly Dipper is? Nothing but a joke. "
"That's right, even if it's the Immortal Martial Realm, that's because we didn't participate." Another person added in a low voice.
Although the voices of these people were low, they didn't intentionally mask it. Qin Wentian could naturally hear them. The gazes they used to stare at Qin Wentian were filled with disdain, doubt, and naturally, there were also some that had expressions of interest on their faces.
