Qin Wentian's voice rang out in the silence. How clear was it? Although his voice wasn't loud, it caused the hearts of everyone present to tremble as expressions of disbelief appeared on their faces. In fact, there was even a hint of terror in their eyes.
Time stopped once again. Even the sound of breathing ceased to exist. The spectators held their breaths as they stared at Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian, finding it hard to accept this shocking truth.
For the hundred-year grand event of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, at the very end, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor appeared and accepted three new disciples. This should have been the most exciting moment, but now, it has become the most shocking moment. Even for those immortal kings, they all felt a sense of panic in their hearts.
What sort of characters were immortal kings? They were all at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Even if they were supreme geniuses, there was no need for them to care. But why were they panicking?
Because at this moment, the moment the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor personally arrived, the moment this grand occasion came to a perfect conclusion, the top two of the immortal banquet, as well as the first and second rankers, all rejected the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor at the same time.
Although Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian's words were tactful, their tone and expressions were so resolute and emotionless. It was as though this moment was already destined. Since they obtained the top three positions, this shocking scene was destined to happen.
There were many supreme experts here, none of them were fools. Which one of them wasn't an experienced individual? How could they not tell that Jun Mengchen and Qin Wentian already had their own thoughts in their hearts. Even if they obtained the top three positions, they wouldn't take Qin Wentian as their master. Instead, they would reject him without any hesitation.
That paragon of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, appeared in the most dazzling manner, personally appearing here to complete the final segment of this grand event. It was as though he was the center of attention, appearing there just like that yet he was directly rejected by the first and second rankers. Wasn't this a slap to the face of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor?
There were actually people in the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures who dared to do such a thing. Not only that, the two of them were Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants.
In the void, it was silent for a long time. The experts didn't dare to breathe too loudly. They still hadn't digested this fact.
The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's invitation to become his disciple was rejected. Moreover, it was rejected by the two strongest people who came to attend the Dongshengxian Gate banquet. This was something that had never happened before.
Even Princess Glaze was shocked. Her beautiful eyes flickered, she also didn't expect such a shocking thing to happen. Her beautiful eyes swept over everyone, only to see Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen had incomparably resolute expressions on their faces. As for the others, they didn't even dare to breathe loudly. It was as though they were waiting for the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to speak.
In the Cloud Prefecture, the Idlecloud Immortal King's sense of glory had completely vanished. In fact, he even felt a trace of panic as he stared in shock at the two of them. Have they gone mad?
"Impudent!"
Finally, a berating voice resounded in the silent space. It seemed so cold, and it even faintly carried a murderous aura.
The person who spoke was none other than Dongsheng Ting. He had once thought of this possibility but he rejected it. But at this moment, when he personally witnessed it, an intense coldness gushed forth from his heart.
Qin Wentian, did he come here for revenge?
He actually dared to protect the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor in front of so many people? The overlord of the Eastern Sage Thirteen Prefectures?
"Jun Mengchen, do you know what you are doing? I gave you such a chance but you actually chose to give it up?" Dongsheng Ting stared at Jun Mengchen. As for Qin Wentian, he had already sent him to the death row. His eyes were filled with killing intent when he stared at Qin Wentian. With regards to Jun Mengchen, he still had a sliver of hope that Qin Wentian would be able to influence him and give him another chance.
"My royal father, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor, is the controller of the thirteen prefectures. Your talent is outstanding and now that my royal father has accepted you as a disciple, your name can shake the world. If you take back your words earlier, I can plead for mercy on your behalf to my royal father."
Dongsheng Ting stared at Jun Mengchen as he spoke.
Jun Mengchen similarly stared at Dongsheng Ting. Although he had a carefree attitude and had a frivolous attitude, when it came to matters of principle, he was clearer than anyone else.
He was a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realm and was brought here by his senior brother to temper himself. To him, this was merely a test, a mission.
It was impossible for him, Jun Mengchen, to become the disciple of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
In addition, given the grudge between the Dongshengxian Gate and his senior brother, it was also impossible for him to enter the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor's tutelage.
"I came here to participate in the Dongshengxian Gate's grand event, starting from the Cloud Prefecture. All the way until now, it was indeed because I wanted to temper myself and grow stronger. I have no intentions of taking a master." Jun Mengchen stared at Dongsheng Ting as he resolutely continued, "In addition, the reason why the Dongshengxian Gate organized this grand event was that the top three rankers would have the qualifications to become the disciple of the Immortal Emperor. However, this is a two-way choice. I've never heard that the Immortal Emperor must be my master. If not, I wouldn't have come here today."
Upon hearing Jun Mengchen's words, the spectators were all speechless. From ancient times until now, the grand event of the Dongshengxian Gate that was held once every hundred years had long followed the rules. The top three rankers with the highest talent would naturally become the disciples of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. This was already a matter of course. There had never been a situation like today where two people rejected.
Rejecting the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor in such an occasion, wasn't this simply making things difficult for the Immortal Emperor?
There had never been anyone who dared to make things difficult for the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. This was the first time someone did so.
Dongsheng Ting still wanted to speak, only to hear the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor calmly interjecting, "Shut up."
Dongsheng Ting halted when he heard this. He glanced at his father only to see that the expression on the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's face was as calm as ever. His eyes were so deep that no emotions could be seen, be it joy or anger. However, the faint smile on his face had already vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.
There was no need to doubt that the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor would definitely be angered now. He was the Immortal Emperor, an immortal king character. How could he not be angry when his face was slapped by two juniors in public?
"Everyone, sit down." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor spoke. What status did he have? Even if he was angered in his heart, he wouldn't reveal any of it. Everyone respectively sat down, but the atmosphere was still extremely heavy. Nobody spoke.
"You guys are fellow apprentices. Which sect did you join? Who is your master?" The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor sat there, staring at Qin Wentian as he asked. His eyes seemed to be able to see through Qin Wentian. Just a single gaze actually caused Qin Wentian to feel a terrifying pressure. That voice rang out in his ears, it was like the voice of the Great Dao, pressing down on his mental state, wanting him to obediently tell the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor.
A surge of aura gushed forth from Qin Wentian. His blood was seething as he stared at the terrifying eyes of the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor. Clearly, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor didn't release any aura, yet it was still so terrifying. This was the disparity between their cultivation bases.
"Your Majesty, there's no need for you to worry about this." Qin Wentian still maintained his politeness. No matter what he was thinking in his heart, before he had sufficient strength, he still had to maintain the proper etiquette when facing immortal emperors. Naturally, he wouldn't bow and scrape. He still had his own principles, and he had his own pride.
"Is it because of the matter back then? You intentionally came here to humiliate me?" The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor calmly spoke, as though he was talking about an extremely ordinary matter. Such an aura made Qin Wentian involuntarily admire him.
"Back then, I should have taken Your Majesty as my master. But after that, Your Majesty requested that I only have freedom once every thousand years. Junior begged Your Majesty to retract that order, and in exchange, I was abandoned by Your Majesty due to my poor character. Maybe to Your Majesty, this is just an insignificant matter. Because in Your Majesty's eyes, I'm insignificant. Even if you trample on my dignity, it's nothing more than an insignificant matter. In fact, there's a high possibility that your Majesty would forget about this matter the moment you turn around."
Qin Wentian laughed. He then continued, "The matter back then, as well as the words of his highness Dongsheng Ting, in addition to the fact that Que Tianyi doesn't have any time restrictions, this junior can also guess that the matter back then isn't as simple as I thought it to be. Maybe, Your Majesty is intentionally making things difficult for me."
"Audacious!" Dongsheng Ting stepped out as his killing intent gushed forth.
"Let him speak." The Dongsheng Heaven Emperor spoke. Dongsheng Ting could only halt his steps, but his eyes were still Cold as he stared at Qin Wentian.
"This time around, when I came to participate in the immortal banquet of the Dongshengxian Gate, I was once again targeted and made things difficult for myself. During the first round, the Dream Demon King extracted my memories, how could I not resist? Naturally, I was ranked last. During the second round, the devil statue also had its own consciousness and directly destroyed my will. But even so, I still used my own strength to prove that I'm capable, walking all the way to this step and obtaining the first position."
Qin Wentian stared at the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor as he continued, "Under such circumstances, does Your Majesty think that I would still enter the Dongshengxian Gate? After I enter the immortal sect, how would I know what kind of treatment I would encounter? At that time, with just a single reason from his highness, Dongsheng Ting, would be able to consign me to eternal damnation. "
"I came here for two reasons. Firstly, it's to temper myself. Secondly, it's to tell Your Majesty that not everyone is willing to take you as their master. Even if I don't take you as my master, I can still sweep through the geniuses of the thirteen prefectures. I can similarly sweep through all the geniuses of the Dongshengxian Gate. Minor characters also have their own strength of character. Their dignity isn't something that can be trampled on so easily."
Qin Wentian's voice rang out. His gaze then turned to the Deepflame Immortal King as he continued, "Earlier, the Deepflame Immortal King hinted to me that some endings are already destined. However, I've also replied to the Deepflame Immortal King. For some things, you will never know what the ending will be until the end. Now, Deepflame Immortal King, do you understand the ending?"
The Deepflame Immortal King's countenance turned heavy, only to see the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor calmly replying, "Marvelous."
Qin Wentian turned his gaze onto the Deepflame Immortal Emperor again only to see the latter calmly staring at him. His imposing eyes were still filled with a powerful might as he spoke, "Marvelous, very impressive. However, are you not afraid that I will kill you?"
As the sound of his voice faded, an even more stifling pressure enveloped Qin Wentian. It felt like as long as the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor willed it, he would be able to take his life away.
"Back then, the Dongsheng Heaven Emperor accepted the request of the Changqing The Great and went to a particle world to accept a disciple. He should naturally know that Qing 'er was giving me a chance. However, Your Majesty intentionally targeted me, not being loyal to the Great. Now, I merely refused to take you as my master, yet Your Majesty wants to kill me? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world?"
Qin Wentian arrogantly spoke. Princess Liuli's beautiful eyes flashed, she seemed to understand the meaning behind Qin Wentian's words earlier. This should be what Qin Wentian wanted to tell her!
