Chapter 1398: Comparing the Past and Present
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Now, quite some time has passed after the war had concluded. The countless particle worlds surrounding the immortal realms were operating normally, and so was the particle world Qin Wentian was from.
The first thing Qin Wentian did after the war, was to send people to escort his friends and family back to the immortal realms. This time, they utterly devastated the Eastern Sage’s forces, his four paragons and sons all died in the war. Nobody knew what state the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was in now and although the probability of Eastern Sage implicating his particle world was small, he still had to take precautions.
However, not everyone wanted to return to the immortal realms. An example was Qin Wentian’s foster father, Qin Chuan. He felt that he wasn’t suited for life in the immortal realms. Although Qin Wentian did his best to change their physiques, given his talent, he couldn’t catch up with the others and he had no wish to keep depending on the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. Over there, if they left the sect, they wouldn’t be able to wander far away. Just the capital alone was so vast that he couldn’t leave it with his current level of power.
Hence, Qin Chuan chose to remain behind. Qin Wentian’s elder sister Qin Yao naturally accompanied him. There was also quite a few others who weren’t used to life in the immortal realms. They didn’t leave with the others who decided to return. Qin Wentian naturally could understand their feelings as well.
The particle world Qin Wentian was from, no longer looked the same as it did in the past. After the war Eastern Sage launched in that particle world, the aftershocks from attacks of immortal kings caused an unknown amount of people to perish. After all, the people from a particle world weren’t as strong as people from the immortal realms. They basically had no way to resist at all. The aftershocks from attacks were like a calamity from the heavens to them, able to instantly wipe them out with ease.
After that war, everyone in the world remembered the tyrant, Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. They naturally also remembered the hero who saved them, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, as well as the white-robed immortal king Bai Wuya, and lastly, the hero of their particle world, Qin Wentian.
If it weren’t for these people, the consequences would truly be too terrible to imagine. In fact, the people of this particle world even hoped that Qin Wentian and Bai Wuya would be able kill the tyrant Eastern Sage one day.
However, many years after that war, although it was a calamity, it actually boosted the growth of the particle world. The people of the particle world saw an immortal-king level battle and personally witnessed supreme characters, understanding that there’s a sky beyond their sky. In addition, some immortal kings fell during the war, and after their deaths, their bodies and blood became treasures, and the area where they died was permeated with law fluctuation energy, becoming rare ruins where cultivators could attempt to comprehend something from there.
Ever since that war ended, the improvement for this particle world has been extraordinary quick. A new batch of experts was birthed and for those rare ruins where the immortal kings had fallen, they were controlled and used as a core area of a sect or clan, giving rise to many Celestial Phenomenon Ascendants as the years passed. In fact, there were even some who managed to break through to the immortal-foundation realm. Back then, an immortal-foundation expert was already sufficient to become the hegemon of this world. But now, the people living here understood that even for immortal-foundation experts, they actually couldn’t be considered anything in the outside worlds. There are more terrifying existences above them.
Even the legendary character of this particle world, Qin Wentian, was already an immortal when he returned back then. Now that so many years passed, nobody knew what level Qin Wentian was at.
Right now in the particle world, within the Grand Xia Empire, these days weren’t peaceful at all. Currently, inside an inn, many people were drinking wine and chatting randomly.
“I heard that Jiang Feng became an immortal? How powerful. This supreme character managed to break through to the immortal realm, his talent is simply shocking.”
“That’s right. Jiang Feng is too terrifying. He still looked like a young man yet he is already an immortal now. I heard that he has only cultivated for a few hundred years and had the appearance of a twenty-year-old. I wonder how many beauties admire him and are willing to give up their everything for him.
“If only I was as powerful as him. If that’s the case, I would have any beauty I want, hahaha.” A burly-looking man laughed.
“Stop dreaming, I’ve never heard of someone being more outstanding than Jiang Feng before, let alone you. In any case, who among the maidens who are the most beautiful in our world can match up to Jiang Feng?” Another person replied.
“Haha, that’s right. Have you all not heard that the beauties of this world are all actively pursuing Jiang Feng?”
“Yeah, he is someone who is unprecedented in the past, and hard to match up to in the future.” Another person spoke.
Everyone praised, sighing with admiration. This Jiang Feng could be known as a legend of this world as well. In the past, he attained enlightenment from a ruin and broke through to Celestial Phenomenon in the span of a single night. From then on, his progress was unimpeded, soaring all the way up. His fame was known through the entire world and no one could match his pace.
As a legend, he naturally became the idol of many who wanted to surpass him.
“Unprecedented in the past and hard to match up to in the future? Is that not over-exaggerated?” A voice filled with disdain rang out. A moment later, the gazes of many turned over only to see a group with both males and females sitting there. One among them was a young woman with a veil, and everyone could tell that was a beauty from her back view alone.
The person who spoke was a young man. Someone laughed when they heard his words, “Little fellow you are still so young, do you even know what cultivation is? Jiang Feng’s talent isn’t something which you understand.”
“Frog in a well.” That young man mocked, his words causing the person who spoke earlier to laugh. “Yo, this little fellow is intentionally digging the hole deeper. Tell me then, who can compare to Jiang Feng?”
“Why does Jiang Feng have his current accomplishments?” That young man asked.
“Naturally it’s because of his talent and the opportunities of good fortune he encountered.” That person replied.
“When did his opportunities begin?” That young man asked again.
“What are you trying to say?”
“His opportunities began when he found a ruin left behind by that immortal war in the past. Although many years have passed since the war and you guys might not even have been born then, how could you all have forgotten the war so easily? Have you all also forgotten the legend of that era? How glorious was he back then? Growing up in a remote place like the Chu Country and finally leaving this world even before he cultivated for a hundred years. When he returned, he had already become an immortal and he even invited many existences more powerful than himself to fight for him. In the face of such a grand character, who the hell is Jiang Feng?”
The voice of the young man was solemn and filled with pride when he spoke about this legend of the past. It was like he was speaking about himself.
Everyone fell silent, a person couldn’t help but comment, “Young fellow, how long have you lived for? How would you know those things that happened so many years ago? We have never even met that so-called legend before, who knows if his story is true or fabricated? As for Jiang Feng, he is a true living legend right before our eyes. Who can compare with him?”
“The young man is right. Before that legendary character, Jiang Feng is...” A middle-aged man in the inn laughed, “way inferior.”
A dispute arose in the inn, for those who revered Jiang Feng, they weren’t going to stand for their idol being insulted. As for those who had lived longer and had personally witnessed that immortal war, the scene then was simply unforgettable. Even though many of those were nothing but teenagers back then, that terrible memory was branded forever into their minds and souls.
“Who says Jiang Feng cannot compare to Qin Wentian?” A gentle voice suddenly rang out as a group of figures entered the inn. Instantly, the eyes of everyone turned to the beautiful maiden in the center of this group. Just a single glance caused them to unable to shift their eyes away.
It was a woman whose charm bordered on the extreme, to the point of immensely mesmerizing. A smile in her beautiful eyes could hook the souls of others away.
She was an extremely famous beauty in this world, named An Linglong. Many even referred to her as the number one beauty under the heavens.
And the fact that An Linglong admired Jiang Feng was well known to everyone. After Jiang Feng became an immortal, An Linglong even made a proclamation that Jiang Feng would become her man sooner or later.
“Why would she appear here?” Someone was puzzled.
“I heard that a phenomenon appeared in the skies above the Grand Xia Dynasty, and talk of rare treasures surfacing have been circulating around. Jiang Feng must have also arrived. In addition, there have been many mysterious experts appearing in Grand Xia recently, all of them extremely powerful. They must all be here for the same reason. As for An Linglong, she must have came here because of Jiang Feng.” Everyone mused.
“It’s just that they belonged to different generations. If Jiang Feng was born in Qin Wentian’s generation, who says that Qin Wentian would be more outstanding than him?” An Linglong laughed. “What do you guys think?”
Everyone glanced at An Linglong as they laughed, their hearts wavering, but none seemed to be keen to refute the words she spoke.
“Fairy An is naturally correct.”
“Fairy An understands Jiang Feng very well. Since she said that, it must be the truth.” Many people continued to speak, supporting her comment, causing her smile to grow wider.
“Vixen.” The young man who spoke earlier cursed in a low voice. After that, numerous gazes turned to him, gleaming with coldness.
“Impudent.”
“How dare you speak to Fairy An in this manner, how uncultured. Which clan are you from?”
An Linglong glanced over there, but her eyes were on a young woman beside that young man. After that, she smiled and spoke in a gentle voice, “Oh, I still wondered who it was, so it turns out that it’s younger sister Yurou. I heard that the clan of younger sister Yurou has quite a deep connection with Qin Wentian. No wonder that little brother would speak up for Qin Wentian.”
“Ouyang Yurou?” The gazes of everyone turned to the veiled young woman in the same group as the young man as their hearts trembled. The number one beauty of the Grand Xia Dynasty, Ouyang Yurou? This was a supreme beauty that was comparable to An Linglong.
Ouyang Yurou turned over and removed her mask, revealing a fresh and pure face, marked by the grace of beauty. She seemed unaffected by mortal dust and is extremely beautiful, causing the people to sigh with admiration. What a feast for the eyes this was, there are actually two supreme beauties in this inn.
“I’ve always heard that elder sister Linglong is extremely sociable and is friends with many people, knowing about much news around the world. Truly awesome.” Ouyang Yurou spoke in a light tone of voice.
“All her acquaintances are guys.” The young man beside Ouyang Yurou snorted.
An Linglong casually smiled, she stared at them, “I heard that the old friend of Qin Wentian is named Ouyang Kuangsheng. If I’m not mistaken, this Ouyang Kuangsheng should be younger sister Yurou’s uncle right?”
“You can be considered to have some knowledge.” The young man raised his head up high as he spoke. Everyone finally understood why this group would speak up for Qin Wentian.
At this moment, a figure in black who was sitting in a corner suddenly glanced at Ouyang Yurou. His deep and immeasurable eyes flashed with a bright light.
Ouyang Kuangsheng was the uncle of this little doll?
In that case, she is the descendant of that little lass Ouyang Xiaolu, who loved to follow Ouyang Kuangsheng around back then? Now, who would have thought that the descendant of that little lass Ouyang Xiaolu, would already have grown up to be such a beauty?
Another group of figures entered the inn, among them, there were some terrifying existences who kept their auras retracted. The others in the inn might not be able to sense the power of these figures but the young man in black could.
Recently, there have been many unusual things which occured in this particle world. For example, the news of rare treasures appearing in Grand Xia, was extremely abnormal.
