Qin Wentian swept his gaze over these geniuses as he laughed, "Although the Qin Sect has just been established, we won't randomly recruit new members. Those who join the Qin Sect are all my brothers, and once you join, you are not allowed to leave. Also, you have to listen to my commands absolutely, and those who disobey will not be forgiven lightly. Are there any more people who wish to join the Qin Sect?"
Just when Jun Mengchen wanted to speak, he saw Qin Wentian saying what he wanted to say. He couldn't help but laugh. What a joke, when the Qin Sect was in danger, no one cared about them. But now that they had repelled their enemies, and Princess Qing 'er and Qin Wentian had defeated the alliance of Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue, in addition to Namhwang Yunxi joining them, these people still wanted to flock over to them?
What was the point of recruiting so many people who weren't of the same mind, each with their own ulterior motives?
The countenances of the crowd froze, and someone asked, "Brother Qin, why didn't I hear any of your requests for Namhwang Yunxi to join us?"
Qin Wentian laughed carefreely, "If you guys have her ranking, I have no objections either. In fact, I don't have any requests for her to be in the top ten of the Immortal Ascension Rankings."
Staring at the carefree smile on Qin Wentian's face, the geniuses shook their heads helplessly. They could understand what Qin Wentian was thinking. For ordinary geniuses who joined the Qin Sect, if they encountered danger, Qin Wentian, Namhwang Yunxi, and the others would be there to protect them. But if they encountered benefits, they would want to take a slice of the soup as well. How could there be such a good thing in the world?
"Forget it, forget it. Right now, the City of Ancient Emperors is no longer peaceful. Zi Daoyang has also said that a storm is brewing in the Underworld Mountains, and the ancient ruins of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor have been discovered. Everyone, do you want to form an alliance and prepare to explore the Underworld Mountains together?"
"That's right, the Underworld Mountains are known as a land of death. Many people have entered there and were unable to exit, but no army has ever been sent there before. Now that there's news of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, the commotion would surely sweep across the entire City of Ancient Emperors. I don't believe that the Underworld Mountains would be able to trap an army of geniuses."
More and more people spoke up one after another. They seemed to be filled with fighting spirit. Qin Wentian didn't say anything. Although he had entered the Underworld Mountains before, he had only stayed there for a short period of time. He knew very little about the Underworld Mountains, and he hadn't even observed them carefully. If he were to take the liberty of advising others not to head there, others might even mock him for wanting to secretly lead the Qin Sect there to seize the fateful encounter.
"The Qin Sect has just been established, we won't be accepting new members for now. Everyone, please feel free to leave." Qin Wentian waved his hands, signaling for the guests to leave.
"Namhwang Yunxi, the Qin Sect only has the six of us now. You can choose any place you like." Qin Wentian smiled at Namhwang Yunxi as he watched the crowd leave.
"Mhm." Namhwang Yunxi nodded her head as she asked, "When do we set off?"
"Since you've already joined the Qin Sect, I naturally won't hide anything from you. Actually, I just exited the Underworld Mountains not long ago. The Underworld Mountains formed a separate dimension, akin to an illusory realm, hidden within the mountain range. When the true Underworld Mountains appeared, the terrain of the mountain range changed, resembling a land of the underworld. There's a mysterious energy that can slowly absorb the energy of stellar martial cultivators, making it extremely difficult to stay in the Underworld Mountains for long periods of time."
Qin Wentian spoke to Namhwang Yunxi.
A strange light flashed in Namhwang Yunxi's eyes as she asked, "How did you guys exit the Underworld Mountains?"
"Qing 'er has a spatial treasure," Qin Wentian replied.
"Seems like my decision to join the Qin Sect was the correct one. Since that's the case, there's nothing to worry about. Bring more Yuan Meteor Stones with you, and use them to absorb astral energy at any time. In the earlier battle, you guys looted the interspatial rings of the old generals of the Xiao Sect, and your harvest was extremely bountiful. You definitely won't lack Yuan Meteor Stones." Namhwang Yunxi smiled.
"Since this is the case, let's rest for today and set off tomorrow. Since the news has already spread, I'm afraid the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors will all flock there." Qin Wentian was decisive. Since Qing 'er could exit the Underworld Mountains, there was no need for him to worry too much about her safety. It was just that Little Rascal was still in the Underworld Mountains, and he couldn't be at ease.
That person was also in the Underworld Mountains. If he encountered Little Rascal, Qin Wentian's combat prowess wouldn't be able to be compared to that person. That person was the # 2 ranker on the Immortal Ascension Rankings.
"Right." Namhwang Yunxi nodded. After which, everyone descended to the ground, returning to the cultivation grounds of their respective courtyards to cultivate.
Qin Wentian viewed time with extreme importance. The energy from God's Hand had already dissipated after he defeated Xiao Lengyue. He had to rebuild his divine energy once again.
In the old location of the Xiao Sect, the Qin Sect was extremely quiet. This was especially so when night fell. Only the sound of the waterfall could be heard.
In one of the courtyards, Namhwang Yunxi stood with her hands clasped behind her back, staring at the sky. As a princess of the Namhwang Clan, there was an immense pressure on her shoulders. She couldn't forget the instructions given to her by the Southern Phoenix Matriarch. The thirty-three immortal realms had been peaceful for too long, and no one knew when a heaven-shaking war would erupt. She had to increase her strength as fast as possible, allowing herself to mature. As a descendant of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, she had to establish her immortal-foundation before the age of a hundred, and immortal-king before the age of ten thousand.
The Southern Phoenix Matriarch had once said that chaos would be a great era.
The appearance of chaos meant that there would be many world-shaking characters appearing, stirring up the winds and waves, stirring up the winds and clouds of the world. At such a time, geniuses would always appear, and countless geniuses would contend against each other. Chaos would also be a great era. Namhwang Yunxi was thinking that if chaos descended in this era, would she be able to carve out a place of her own in this era?
Zi Daoyang, Qing 'er, Qin Wentian, and that person … in addition to those who weren't in the City of Ancient Emperors, would these people be inferior to her, Namhwang Yunxi?
"Who?" At this moment, Namhwang Yunxi abruptly turned and stared behind her. However, she only saw the green mountains. There was no other silhouette, nor any aura.
This scene caused Namhwang Yunxi to furrow her brows as a strange light flashed in her eyes. Her perception was extremely sharp, and there shouldn't be any mistakes. However, there really wasn't any aura. Could it be that she had something weighing on her mind, causing her perception to be wrong?
At the same time, in Qin Wentian's courtyard, in the cultivation ground, Qin Wentian was quietly cultivating. Qing 'er sat on a boulder at the foot of a green waterfall, facing Qin Wentian. Her crystal-clear eyes stared at Qin Wentian, but there seemed to be something weighing on her mind. She was contemplating something.
Although Qing 'er wasn't very experienced in the world, it was precisely because of this that her thoughts were simpler. However, she was also very sensitive and could sense things that others couldn't. She could faintly sense that Zi Daoyang's appearance today was truly because of her. However, she was a total stranger to Zi Daoyang. What was Zi Daoyang's purpose?
For someone like Zi Daoyang, he wouldn't lack beauties. Even for Xiao Lengyue, if he used some methods, he would be able to obtain her easily. Hence, if he wanted to get close to someone, it wouldn't be purely because of their beauty.
Qing 'er suddenly thought of her father, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. When she stared at Qin Wentian, traces of worry could be seen on her beautiful face. However, when she saw that Qin Wentian didn't know anything, and was completely immersed in his cultivation, Qing' er's countenance gradually softened, no longer Cold. Her watery eyes flickered with a hint of warmth.
The night was no longer cold.
...
In the morning, the air in the mountain range still seemed to be slightly foggy. In the rolling mountain range, it should have been extremely quiet. However, there were suddenly many figures today. They were in groups of three to five, walking between the mountain range and heading towards the depths of the mountain range.
These people were none other than the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors who had received the news, and they were all heading towards the Underworld Mountains.
Although the Underworld Mountains had the reputation of being a forbidden ground in the City of Ancient Emperors, when there were too many people, one's guts would naturally be bolder. This was especially so for geniuses. None of them would admit that they were cowardly. Hence, since yesterday, more and more people were rushing over here.
In the ruins of Ancient Emperor Yi, there was indeed an ultimate art, the God's Hand. Not only that, it had already been cultivated by Qin Wentian. In that case, if the ruins of the extremely famous Brahma Heavenly Emperor were to be discovered, would the Great Brahma Art, which had also been lost, reappear in the immortal realms?
If the Great Brahma Art appeared and was cultivated by them, even if they couldn't reach the level of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor, they would still be able to become hegemons of an area.
No one would feel that they were too weak to cultivate it. This was especially so for the geniuses in the City of Ancient Emperors.
Qin Wentian and his group also entered the mountain range. Qin Wentian, Qing 'er, Namhwang Yunxi, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and Hua Taixu. The six of them from the Qin Sect had arrived together.
Everywhere they passed, the number of people turning their heads to look at them was the highest. Among the six of them, there were three stunning beauties. Zi Qingxuan was already extremely beautiful, but Qing 'er and Namhwang Yunxi were a level higher. With such a line-up, how could they not attract the attention of others?
Those who had heard of the battle yesterday could already guess their identities. But there were also many who hadn't received the news yet. Hence, they were all wondering who these two supreme beauties, Nanfeng Yunxi and Qing`er, were exactly.
The speed of the six of them was extremely fast. Qin Wentian was already familiar with the path, and very soon, they arrived at the outer perimeter of the Underworld Mountains. Many geniuses from the City of Ancient Emperors had gathered here, and they had all formed alliances. It was very rare to see a single person here. There was a high possibility of a battle breaking out, and at that time, it would be a battle of strength.
"Namhwang Yunxi." At this moment, it was unknown who spoke. Momentarily, the gazes of the crowd all turned to Qin Wentian and his group.
"Princess Qing 'er as well. The # 3 and # 5 rankers on the Immortal Ascension Rankings have also arrived," another person added. These six people immediately became the focus of the crowd.
"Interesting, the people from the Twin Stars Alliance have arrived as well." The crowd turned their gazes in another direction, only to see the silhouettes of Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue. Xiao Lengyue's injuries seemed to have healed in a single day. It was unknown what heavenly ingredients and earthly treasures she had consumed. However, Greedwolf wasn't here. Without a year and a half, it would be hard for him to crawl back up again.
"Namhwang Yunxi and Princess Qing 'er have formed an alliance, while the Twin Stars Alliance has Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue. Hey, it seems like we have to gather the others to form an alliance," one of the geniuses spoke to another. The strength of these two alliances was simply too shocking.
"Let's enter." Namhwang Yunxi spoke in a low voice. Qin Wentian nodded, and after which, they entered the depths of the Underworld Mountains. The others hesitated for a moment before following after. Namhwang Yunxi and Princess Qing 'er had already entered the Underworld Mountains. How could they be afraid of the slightest thing?
Very swiftly, the army of geniuses from the City of Ancient Emperors entered the depths of the Underworld Mountains. When the fog appeared, the entire space was filled with a mysterious aura. After which, the true Underworld Mountains appeared before their eyes, exuding a cold intent.
