Chapter 1134: Convene
Qin Wentian stared at Bujie as he smiled, "Bujie, no abstinence. What a great name you have. In addition, I actually can’t tell what your cultivation level is. Did you cultivate some art that enables you to hide your cultivation?"
"What do you think?" The monk Bujie narrowed his eyes and laughed.
"Buddhic arts are incomparably vast and profound. I’m sure you cultivated in a technique that prevents people from seeing through you. However, I can vaguely sense that you shouldn’t be weaker compared to the female from that day. Why are you avoiding her?" Qin Wentian recalled that Chu Qingyi’s original purpose was chasing after this monk.
"Are you talking about the holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, Chu Qingyi?" Bujie shook his head. "Although that woman is beautiful, her heart is filled with maliciousness. This poor monk was sleeping but just so coincidentally, I encountered her bathing in a lake as I woke up. She wanted to dig my eyes out for that. Sigh...she is just too ruthless, clearly it was her who disrupted my sleep."
"Given your skills, how can you not know when someone is in your vicinity? Most probably, you pretended to be asleep so you could peep at her right? Monk, you are a truly shameless individual." Qin Wentian spoke in disdain.
"If you want to assume like this, this poor monk, me, has nothing to say. Although monks might be horny, there’s a dao to our horniness." Bujie shook his head. "Look at how she was pursuing me to kill me, yet I didn’t bother to fight with her. The buddhist path emphasized on the word ’kindness.’ It’s truly rare for the world to have people who are so kind like me to appear."
Qin Wentian saw the monk boasting about his ’morals’ with such a straight-face, and was struck by speechlessness. Even leaving aside the fact that he was a monk, Qin Wentian had never met such an outlandish person before.
"In any case, the psyche force of humans is exceedingly great. The moment you think of someone, there’s a high possibility that they would appear." The monk suddenly added, causing a puzzled expression to appear on Qin Wentian’s face. The ear lobes of the monk trembled slightly as he continued, "Do you have a junior apprentice brother that also entered the sacred academy? This person is very young and has a cultivation base at the second level."
"How do you know this?" Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed.
"Earlier, he said so himself. Right now he was captured by someone and there are a number of people extending their search for you, and they are coming over to this area soon. Chu Qingyi is among them and seems to have unkind intentions, she is most probably seeking you for revenge. What did you do to her? She actually vented her anger for you on your junior brother, implicating him in torture." Bujie slowly spoke, his words causing a blast of cold intent to gush forth from Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian stood up suddenly with his fists clenched as cold light flickered in his eyes.
"Monk, where are they now?" Qin Wentian’s voice was like ice. According to Bujie, Chu Qingyi seemed to have captured Jun Mengchen.
"Don’t be impulsive." The earlobes of the monk wobbled before he continued, "From their conversation, it seems that they fought your junior apprentice brother outside the Sky Connecting Realm and right now, they brought him into it and are searching for you. If you go now, you would only be courting death. Chu Qingyi said that she would make you suffer a fate worse than death and although they cannot truly kill you in the Sky Connecting Realm, she will subject you to endless torture, making it so that you won’t be able to die and will be stuck in this realm forever."
"Monk, I’m going to save my junior brother." Qin Wentian spoke.
"It’s useless even if you save him. They captured him in the external world and forcibly brought him into this realm. Even if you save your junior brother here, there would still be people guarding his body in the actual world. In addition, your junior brother seems to be heavily injured. Hence, even if you killed him in here to send him out, he would still be in their hands." Although monk Bujie loved to talk nonsense and brag, he was very clear-minded now and analysed the facts for Qin Wentian. "Also, even if you want to save him, how can you do so? Chu Qingyi brought along helpers with her and there’s one man at the eighth-level of immortal foundation. Not only that, there’s also another supreme genius at the seventh-level that goes by the name of Lei Ba, from the Thundergod Hall. He even has the title as the Son of the Thundergod, if you insist on heading over to save your junior brother, you would merely be jumping into the net they cast for you. At that time, both you and your junior brother would only end up being tortured together."
Qin Wentian naturally understood that Bujie was speaking the truth. In the Sky Connecting Realm, one could only depend on their strength. With his current level, if he went in to save Jun Mengchen, he would only be captured alongside and served no other purposes.
"Junior brother..." Qin Wentian’s eyes were ice cold. Chu Qingyi this bitch... Although there was a grudge between him and her, he had helped Chu Qingyi to finish off the two men who wanted to rape her, preventing her from suffering a great humiliation. He didn’t expect Chu Qingyi to be grateful to him, and he would still find it normal if Chu Qingyi still wanted to act against him. He understood that since they had a grudge, it was only natural for a conflict between them to occur.
However, Chu Qingyi not only wanted to deal with him, she even implicated Jun Mengchen into it. If Qing`er and Zi Qingxuan were in the same sacred academy as Chu Qingyi, would they be implicated too?
The personality of some people are already fixed and unchangeable. For example, Chu Qingyi, Qin Wentian already knew her personality from the time they interacted. But even so, he wasn’t willing to watch on as she was almost humiliated. That was his bottom line. But although he had a bottom line, it didn’t mean that Chu Qingyi had one. Apparently, Chu Qingyi would do anything as long as it meant that she could deal with him.
"Sky Connecting Stone Pillar." Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. "I have to head into the core central region of the Sky Connecting Realm."
"Do you have friends in here?" Bujie instantly knew what Qin Wentian was planning when he heard his words. Qin Wentian wanted to seek reinforcements.
"Yes, I think I have quite a few allies." Qin Wentian replied.
"Let me go with you then, I can mask you from their immortal senses. Given their higher cultivation levels, their immortal sense would naturally be stronger than you and they would discover your presence before you discover them." Bujie spoke. Although Qin Wentian was powerful and the distance his immortal sense could cover was also very vast, he still couldn’t be compared to people at the seventh or eighth-level. The monk Bujie had cultivated in some unique art that resembled Jiang Ziyu’s innate techniques, granting him great hearing power that covers a distance further and wider in comparison to immortal sense.
"Alright, thank you." Qin Wentian replied.
"After eating the demon spirits you hunted for free, it’s only normal for me to do something in return. Sigh, who asked this monk to be such a kind person?" Bujie started bragging again. After that, his silhouette flashed as he led the way with Qin Wentian following behind him, the two of them taking the long way to cross this stretch of desolation.
With the monk leading the way, leaving aside Chu Qingyi and her helpers, in fact, they didn’t even encounter any danger. Qin Wentian suddenly had a thought in his mind, most probably for those who cultivated techniques of the buddhist path, they would probably be able to live a very long life. They knew how to seek luck and avoid calamity but for some reason, the monk Bujie seems to be using his skills shadily to satisfy his own desires.
The central area of the Sky Connecting Realm was naturally incomparably majestic. The towering pillars were as imposing as ever and at this moment, Qin Wentian placed his hand on one of the stone pillars and inscribed some words on it with his immortal energy. Very swiftly, a mysterious light flared as the words shot up into the skies, ascending up that pillar. When he inclined his head, Qin Wentian could see the words he wrote being manifested in the air. ’Battle, convene at the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock - Qin!’
Although this wasn’t some sort of code, he believed that only those from the Battle Saint Tribe would understand his words. If they saw it, they would answer his summons.
Battle referred to the Battle Saint Tribe. If this was not clear enough, he intentionally added his surname ’Qin’ at the end of the sentence. There shouldn’t be anyone from the Battle Saint Tribe who didn’t understand.
"Let’s go." Qin Wentian continued, speeding towards the Connecting Sky Immortal Rock - that area where Huang Wudi and Jia Nantian fought against each other back then.
"Have they left the boundaries of your hearing distance?" Qin Wentian asked. He had asked Bujie for help to monitor the movements of Chu Qingyi and her group, by spying upon their words. After he gathered the experts from the Battle Saint Tribe, he would seek them out right away.
"Nope, they seem to be heading over to the same location as you." Bujie shrugged. "In fact, they are speculating if the sentence earlier was written by you."
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed, he increased his speed and headed to the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. On the way there, more words appeared in the air. "Chu Qingyi, Lei Ba, Skymist Mu, summons the forces of the Snowdrift Sage Hall, Thundergod Hall and Skymist Empire to gather at the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock."
Qin Wentian glanced at the air. This Chu Qingyi actually also used the stone pillars to summon experts from three major powers.
Three major powers... Other than the Snowdrift Sage Hall Chu Qingyi was from, there were also the Thundergod Hall and the Skymist Immortal Empire.
"Did you also offend the Skymist Immortal Empire?" Bujie stared at Qin Wentian and asked. Qin Wentian nodded his head, his eyes gleaming with cold light as he spoke, "How do they know it is me?"
"They have no idea, that’s just mere speculation on their part. This Chu Qingyi seems to have great hatred for you. Also, strangely enough, there’s also the Nibblesky Sacred Cult in the picture. Even if you’re not the one who wrote that message, they would similarly also gather these forces to deal with the members Nibblesky Sacred Cult." Bujie replied. Qin Wentian naturally knew what was going on. He then asked again, "Is there a relationship between the Thundergod Hall and the Snowdrift Sage Hall?"
"Lei Ba from the Thundergod Hall fancies Chu Qingyi. Also, Lei Ba’s position in his sect isn’t low. Can this be considered a connection?" The monk laughed.
"Chu Qingyi, the holy maiden of the Snowdrift Sage Hall? She will definitely regret her actions." Qin Wentian coldly spoke. The two of them sped up and finally arrived before the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock. At this moment, there were already many experts here, as though they were here to enjoy the show. Ancient words appeared in the air twice, summoning all experts, gathering them here. There must surely be a major battle. Hence, for those experts in the surroundings, they would naturally come here for a look.
Before the immortal rock, there were five experts from the Battle Saint Tribe that had already convened. They naturally came over when they saw Qin Wentian’s summons.
When they saw Qin Wentian’s arrival, they walked towards him. But because there were outsiders around, it wasn’t convenient to say anything.
"Eh, it seems that you are at a severe disadvantage for this battle. I’ve already said it, this pious monk wouldn’t help you out in battle." Bujie spoke.
"Mhm, no problem. Many thanks." Qin Wentian spoke. This matter originally was something that was his problem. Having the monk lead him here, was something that he was already grateful for, how could he be so shameless to request the monk to help him deal with Chu Qingyi and her helpers.
Not long after, Chu Qingyi and her group of people also arrived. When Qin Wentian saw the miserable state Jun Mengchen was in, the coldness in his eyes could send shivers down the spines of people. His gaze was like a sharp sword that pierced towards Chu Qingyi. And at the same time, Chu Qingyi’s gaze was also ice-cold, she wanted nothing more than to slice him into bits and pieces, suffering a lingering death.
"Qingyi, is he the person you are seeking?" Lei Ba pointed at Qin Wentian as he spoke.
"I’m very curious. How did you know that we are searching for you?" Skymist Mu asked.
"It’s that damnable monk." Chu Qingyi’s eyes flickered, staring at Bujie who was currently hiding among the crowd.
Bujie instantly jumped. "This has nothing to do with this monk."
"Since you are here as well, you don’t need to think about leaving anymore." Chu Qingyi coldly spoke. However, she only saw Qin Wentian staring at her, "Chu Qingyi, I don’t care who you are, or what identity you have. For the grudge between us, you can just come at me however you want. Instead, you actually chose to torture my junior brother? I will remember this debt of revenge. But now, let me give a piece of advice to you. Release my junior brother. You have to release him in the real world too."
"Release him? Are you kidding me?" Chu Qingyi spoke.
"I don’t wish to threaten people but your despicable actions have exceeded my bottom line. If you insist on doing this, I will disregard my bottom line too. Chu Qingyi, do you wish for your reputation to be in tatters?" Qin Wentian coldly asked. When the sound of his voice faded, the temperature around Chu Qingyi instantly plunged drastically as a frosty aura gushed out. She naturally knew what Qin Wentian was referring to!
