In the Azure Continent of Grand Xia, the flames of war rose up as experts from all directions gathered.
The Ouyang Aristocrat Clan of the Azure Continent and the Jiang Clan of the Wind Continent were going to form a marriage alliance, inviting all the transcendent powers of the Azure Continent to participate in the banquet. As for whether they would show up or not, that was another matter altogether.
The meaning of this marriage alliance was self-evident. All the transcendent powers of Grand Xia were well aware of it. This marriage alliance was no different from an alliance, expressing the determination of both transcendent powers to advance and retreat together.
On the surface, this was merely a wedding between Ouyang Zichen and Jiang Ting, but the hidden meaning was that this was a union between the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan and the Jiang Clan.
Right now, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan had three Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants while the Jiang Clan had two. Once they formed an alliance, they would have a total of five Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants. In addition to the foundations of the two aristocrat clans, they would instantly become the strongest power in Grand Xia, sweeping through everything before them.
To Grand Xia, this was undoubtedly a tempest. Hence, it was unknown how many transcendent powers gathered in the Azure Continent.
In the Azure Continent, there were five transcendent powers. They were: Ouyang Aristocrat Clan, Multidirectional Thunderwind Sect, Azure Emperor Palace, Mystic Maiden Palace and Sword Extinction Sect.
Back then when Qin Wentian was cultivating in the Unmatched Realm, he had already met with the geniuses of these five transcendent powers, and had even fought against several of them.
After staying in the bamboo forest for a day, Qin Wentian returned to the Azure Continent and stayed in the Unmatched Realm, paying a visit to the Unmatched Elders.
The relationship between him and the Unmatched Elders wasn't bad, but they still didn't care about external affairs, including the old man who had once helped him before. Qin Wentian discovered that this old fellow actually had a cultivation base at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, yet he chose to remain hidden in the Unmatched Realm. No wonder the status of the Unmatched Realm was so transcendent. There were so many experts here, yet they didn't have the ambition to rule the world.
Today, Qin Wentian brought Fan Le and Old Xing to the Mystic Maiden Palace as guests.
During the era of the Azure Emperor, Old Xing was already in charge of punishment. Even now, his cultivation base had already broken through to the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. He and Fairy Qingmei were the pillars of the Azure Emperor Palace.
Fan Le and the little princess of the Mystic Maiden Palace, Xuan Xin, had already confirmed their relationship back then. Now that Xuan Xin had also grown up, her status in the Mystic Maiden Palace had also risen. She easily led Qin Wentian and the others to a great hall in the Mystic Maiden Palace. There were many experts from the Mystic Maiden Palace here and their gazes all landed on Old Xing who was beside Qin Wentian. This old man had his eyes closed and seemed harmless but everyone could clearly feel the faint pressure radiating from him.
There was a high possibility that this old man was at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.
Naturally, Qin Wentian was one of the main targets of observation. Back then in Grand Xia, this man caused a huge commotion, splitting apart the Pill Emperor Hall with his sword, shaking the entire Grand Xia. But after that, he suddenly vanished without a trace, vanishing without a trace for several years. Now that he had returned, that carefree countenance of his had an unfathomable smile on it.
Back then, the top ranker of the Heavenly Fate Rankings of Grand Xia, the young man who split apart the Pill Emperor Hall with his sword, what cultivation base had he reached now?
Outside the great hall, a group of silhouettes walked over. The woman in the lead seemed to be around thirty years of age and had a mature countenance, exuding an aura of purity. This was none other than the Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace.
The Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace walked to the main seat in the great hall and sat down. She surveyed the old man who had his eyes closed beside Qin Wentian as her eyes gleamed with sharpness. "Are you Old Xing, the one in charge of punishment under the Azure Emperor?"
"Palace Mistress has good judgement." Old Xing opened his eyes, as a terrifying pressure swept over the great hall, causing the experts of the Mystic Maiden Palace to involuntarily tremble.
The eyes of the Palace Mistress gleamed with sharpness. After which, her gaze landed on Qin Wentian as she smiled, "I've long heard of Qin Wentian's name since a few years ago. You are truly a young Heaven Chosen. I wonder what brings you here today?"
"I'm here to gift your Mystic Maiden Palace some good fortune." Qin Wentian smiled. The expert beside the Palace Mistress coldly laughed, "Back then, although the Azure Emperor Faction was controlled by the Azure Emperor, isn't it a little too arrogant to say that you are gifting good fortune to my Mystic Maiden Palace?"
The Palace Mistress had a smile on her face, but she didn't reply.
Before the marriage, the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan was already the strongest power in the Azure Continent. After the marriage, there's no need for me to say anything more. These few years, I, Qin, have been to many places. The other two empires that are adjacent to Grand Xia, Grand Shang and Grand Zhou, were both at their peak. As long as they wanted to, they could easily destroy Grand Xia with a flip of their hands. It's just that my Grand Xia is a place of desolation, nobody is willing to step into it. Even the Si Clan of Grand Shang actually dared to occupy the ancient kingdom of Grand Xia, and this wasn't even the full strength of the Si Clan. How ridiculous is this? "
Qin Wentian slowly spoke, "Grand Xia is lacking in cultivation arts and innate techniques. The experts with great talent are all leaving the Desolation Grounds, while the experts in the desolation grounds are still complacent. It's only a matter of time before they are destroyed."
"What arrogant words." The female who spoke earlier berated. She stared at Qin Wentian, "A mere junior dares to spout such arrogant words? Who do you think you are?"
When the Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace and the other experts arrived, Qin Wentian had been sitting there the entire time. He didn't even stand up to welcome them. This point already caused them to be extremely unhappy. Old Xing was a Celestial Phenomenon Ascendant and was also a senior character, yet he still acted like this. Although Qin Wentian's name shook Grand Xia, wasn't his attitude a little too arrogant? Did he really think that he was on the same level as the Palace Mistress?
"Palace Mistress of the Azure Emperor Palace, Qin Wentian." Qin Wentian faintly spoke. His gaze swept over to the female who spoke as he coldly replied, "I'm talking to the Palace Mistress, when did it become your turn to interrupt?"
"IMPUDENT!" That female berated. "Right now, the Azure Emperor Palace is still in the Azure Continent. I'm afraid your title as the Palace Mistress of the Azure Emperor Palace was self-conferred right?"
As the sound of her voice faded, a terrifying might gushed forth from Old Xing. He stepped out and instantly, a stifling pressure bore down on the female who spoke as he abruptly smashed out with his palm.
The Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace waved her hands as a beam of cold light slammed into the palm imprint, causing the entire space to tremble.
"Old Xing." Qin Wentian called out. Old Xing retreated to his side as though nothing had happened.
"We are guests, it's not my wish to be the host." Qin Wentian faintly spoke. "It's just that the people of the Mystic Maiden Palace are so knowledgeable, how disappointing. Just take it that I made a wasted trip here."
After speaking, he stood up only to see the Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace interjected, "You haven't finished what you wanted to say earlier. What kind of good fortune are you planning to gift to my Mystic Maiden Palace?"
"The chaotic era of Grand Xia is coming to an end, and it will definitely be unified. There will be a few factions controlling the Grand Xia Empire. If Palace Mistress is willing, you can choose one of them." Qin Wentian stared at the Palace Mistress as he spoke.
The eyes of the Palace Mistress flashed with sharpness. Although she was prepared in her heart, she didn't expect that Qin Wentian would actually dare to speak such arrogant words. The female who spoke earlier coldly laughed, "Simply ridiculous. Palace Mistress, although this young man's talent is extraordinary, he has already lost his sense of self and doesn't know the immensity of the heavens and earth."
"I'll wait and see." The Palace Mistress of the Mystic Maiden Palace was silent for a moment before she smiled. She truly wanted to see how Qin Wentian would unify Grand Xia.
"Sorry for the disturbance." Qin Wentian smiled. After which, he turned and walked out of the great hall. He only thought of the Mystic Maiden Palace because of the relationship between Fan Le and Xuan Xin. But since the other party didn't trust him, there was nothing more to say.
"Palace Mistress, this young man is too arrogant and rude. Are we going to let him leave just like that?" That female spoke again when she saw Qin Wentian preparing to leave.
Qin Wentian's eyes flashed with sharpness when he heard this. He abruptly turned and stomped the ground as a terrifying aura gushed forth. His eyes stared straight at the female who spoke, causing the female's eyes to sink into the depths of purgatory.
"Frog at the bottom of a well." A voice thundered out like thunder from the clear skies. After which, the female was flung through the air by an immense force, slamming heavily into the ground as she coughed out a mouthful of blood, her countenance as pale as paper.
When she inclined her head, the only thing Qin Wentian left for her was the back view of his back. The experts of the Mystic Maiden Palace all felt their hearts pounding violently, only a few words echoed in their minds.
Frog at the bottom of a well!
These words were spoken to the female, but weren't they also spoken to the entire Mystic Maiden Palace as well?
That female's cultivation base was at the ninth level of Heavenly Dipper. Qin Wentian stood at his original location and directly sent her flying. What was laughable was that she actually dared to say that Qin Wentian didn't know any etiquette. The Heaven Chosen whose name shook Grand Xia back then had already grown to a level she didn't even dare to imagine.
"Palace Mistress." The gazes of the experts turned to the Palace Mistress, only to see that she didn't give the order to stop Qin Wentian. Her gaze landed on Xuan Xin who hadn't left yet as she asked, "Did Fan Le talk to you about Qin Wentian's matters in the outside world?"
"Yes, I did." Xuan Xin nodded.
"Tell me the most important things," the Palace Mistress stated.
"Fan Le said that they went to a place named the Royal Sacred Region. That place is governed by the Royal Sacred Sect and there are countless transcendent powers there. Any one of them could easily annihilate the transcendent powers of Grand Xia. When he met Qin Wentian, it was during a tempering exercise in the Immortal Martial Realm. All the geniuses of the Royal Sacred Region would gather there and compete for the rankings. Qin Wentian obtained the top ranking of the Immortal Martial Realm and is also a disciple of a transcendent power, the Battle Sword Sect, as well as the foster son of an ancient emperor. However, I don't know much about these transcendent powers, but I do know that they should be stronger than our Mystic Maiden Palace." Xuan Xin tugged at the corner of her robe as she spoke. She didn't expect that Qin Wentian would have a conflict with the Mystic Maiden Palace.
However when the Palace Mistress heard Xuan Xin's words, her heart trembled as she felt a chill running down her spine. After a long time, she sighed. She knew that the Mystic Maiden Palace might have lost a great opportunity. From now onwards, the Mystic Maiden Palace would no longer have the authority to speak in Grand Xia.
"Xuan Xin, why didn't you tell me earlier?" The Palace Mistress sighed.
"I'm not very clear myself, and you didn't ask me," Xuan Xin replied in a low voice. The Palace Mistress had a bitter smile on her face as she shook her head, "Xuan Xin, treat Fan Le better in the future. Hurry up and chase after them."
"Okay." Xuan Xin nodded her head as she walked out.
Qin Wentian didn't really mind this matter. If the Mystic Maiden Palace trusted him, he would allow them to become the pillar of support for Grand Xia. But since they didn't trust him, it didn't matter either way.
The Azure Continent was a gathering place. On the surface, the transcendent powers from all over the Ouyang Aristocrat Clan were all gathered together. But in the dark, there was a storm brewing in the dark. Qin Wentian's forces had all arrived in the Azure Continent, and they were all gathering together!
