Chapter 1533: Heaven-Defying Opportunity

At this moment, an ethereal form floated within this starry space, like an existence of the void, invisible and untouchable.

After a long time passed, the slightest hint of a consciousness appeared in the ethereal form as it floated about aimlessly, trying to sense its surroundings.

This ethereal form then transformed into a blurry shadow. It was actually the figure of Qin Wentian.

“Where is this place?” Qin Wentian mumbled as he glanced at his surroundings. He only saw a countless number of stars here but he swiftly discovered that this place wasn’t the nine heavenly astral rivers but was a place similar to that.

“This is the space within the tiny astral-being in my mind?” Qin Wentian mused, feeling extremely shocked. He didn’t die. The Undying Scripture seemed to have saved his life. Also, the remnant of his soul was actually absorbed into the tiny astral-being?

This was something his father left behind for him. What treasure was it exactly?

“My soul isn’t extinguished. This means that I’m not truly dead.” Qin Wentian’s soul radiated a wave of energy. He then began to cultivate in his soul-form.

He didn’t think about the battle which ended his life. He cast aside all random thoughts. There was only a single thought in his mind now. He had to live on. He had to survive.

With the Undying Scripture, there was a chance that this remnant of his soul might recover fully. At that time, he could forge a body of flesh.

As long as he doesn’t die, there was hope. Even if he lost everything, he could start again.

Time slowly passed by. The starry space here was incomparably silent. Due to the devastating damage he received, he only had a remnant of soul left. Although he had a heaven-defying art like the Undying Scripture, it was impossible for his soul to recover in a short time. Hence, he soon forgot the passing time as he focused on his cultivation.

In the blink of an eye, seven years passed. In these seven years, many changes occurred in the immortal realms and City of Ancient Emperors. There were constantly waves of experts rising to the top and experts dying.

As for that war that happened, many people has gradually forgotten it. Qin Wentian’s name also was slowly buried into people’s memories. People would only recall about him if someone casually brought up events of the past war.

However, there were some who would never be able to forget that year.

Those people who participated in the war, many juniors and descendants of them were killed. Even two immortal emperors had died. From this, one could tell how powerful the expert acting against them was.

It was none other than the peak-stage immortal emperor, Emperor Yu.

Hence, a hunt occurred in the immortal realms. Several peak-stage immortal emperors hunted Emperor Yu causing him to be seriously injured, almost to the point of dying. But even so, he managed to escape. This hunt caused a huge amount of commotion in the immortal realms.

But no matter how the external world changes, the forbidden ground of the Darknorth Immortal Empire was as quiet and desolate as ever.

The crazed and sloppy looking old man was lazing about. He had long gotten used to loneliness. Right now, he was lying on a rock as though he was sleeping, quietly waiting for something.

Inside the tiny astral-being, after seven years of cultivation, Qin Wentian’s soul grew stronger and stronger as his form grew more clear and defined.

At this moment, he finally halted his cultivation.

His soul moved around in the starry space, heading towards a constellation. At the next instant, a bright light flashed as he came into contact with it. Qin Wentian only felt a memory appearing in his mind but this wasn’t a memory that has anything to do with his father. It was a record of a powerful innate technique instead.

Heavenly Warring Divine Fist – When one’s cultivation of this reached the extreme point, one can shatter an entire world, even breaking apart space and the void.

Qin Wentian’s consciousness stirred. His soul moved towards another constellation as another memory appeared.

Divine Slaughter Art – When one’s cultivation of this reached grand completion, millions upon millions of stands of slaughter light beams would converge as one, forming a boundless zone of slaughter, easily taking the lives of everything within. It was another art capable of destroying an entire world.

Qin Wentian’s soul body trembled as he explored other constellations. After a long time, he flew to his original location as he contemplated about the new memories he gained. All of the techniques and arts here were the absolute ultimate, any of them were sufficient to cause a fervor in the immortal realms, their power level even surpassing God’s Hand but there were actually countless of such techniques in this tiny astral-being.

After a long time, he trembled and murmured, “Father, what heaven-defying treasure did you leave behind exactly?”

When he died, the main remnant of his soul survived and was brought into this starry space.

Maybe, his father depended on this back then to live a second life.

Qin Wentian recalled that his father was forced to hand over some treasure by his clan. Could the tiny astral-being be the heaven-defying treasure?

And now, his father has bequeathed this to him.

He recalled the scene when he was still an infant. His father had passed this treasure to him then.

He once thought that this treasure only contained the memory fragments of his father. He didn’t expect it to hold so many powerful innate techniques and arts.

In addition, he still had no clear idea regarding the secrets within. What was this tiny astral-being exactly?

“It has been so many years. Are Qing`er and Qingcheng still doing well? Also there’s that little lass Bai Qing, Mengcheng, Yunxi and the others. I wonder how they are. Also, where am I now? Am I still in the Evergreen Immortal Empire?” Qin Wentian mused as his soul floated around, trying to find the exit.

In the external world, the sloppy old man who was sleeping on the huge rock suddenly moved. His eyelids fluttered as his eyes opened. He sat up, the soul fluctuations before him grew increasingly stronger and a moment later, an ethereal form appeared from the void. This naturally was none other than Qin Wentian’s soul form.

The eyes of the sloppy old man gleamed with sharpness as he stared at Qin Wentian’s soul. “Interesting. You actually made a full recovery inside that treasure?”

Qin Wentian started. After he woke up, to think that he wasn’t in the Evergreen Immortal Empire but was actually in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty instead. Not only that, he met this crazy old freak once again.

“Old fellow, you are the one who brought me here?” Qin Wentian asked, speaking in a natural sounding tone.

“Heh heh, how interesting.” The old freak leapt down from the rock and walked one round around Qin Wentian. He was filled with curiosity, “What is that treasure exactly? How did you get it?”

“Ancestral inheritance.” Qin Wentian rolled his eyes.

“An inheritance? There’s no way such an item would appear here in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms.” The old man narrowed his eyes. His gaze causing Qin Wentian to feel tense and ill-at-ease.

“Forget it, I won’t ask anymore. Most probably you also have no idea. However, shouldn’t you kowtow when you see me? What attitude is this?” The old freak grumbled.

Qin Wentian rolled his eyes once more and ignored the old fellow.

“After my death, what happened to the Evergreen Immortal Empire?” Qin Wentian asked.

“After you died, the war stopped. As to what happened exactly, I’m not very clear about that. However, shouldn’t you worry about yourself first? Right now, other than soul energy, you don’t even have a corporeal body. Do you still have the time to worry about other things?” The old fellow replied.

“Didn’t you teach me the Undying Scripture? As long as a part of my soul survives, that cannot be considered a truth death. What’s there to worry about?” Qin Wentian responded.

“Hehe, you should try forging a body.” The old fellow narrowed his eyes and laughed as he stared at Qin Wentian, like he was looking at a supremely valuable treasure. The ill-at-ease feeling he felt instantly grew more intense.

Qin Wentian nodded. He then sat cross-legged and channelled the Undying Scripture. A few moments later, flesh and bones took form around his soul. This body was perfect, and resembled his original body exactly.

But when Qin Wentian opened his eyes, he stared listlessly in the distance ahead as his eyes seemed to lack spirit.

He stretched out his hands and stared at them while mumbling, “Do I have to start over again for everything?”

Only after his body was formed did he realize that he had truly died once and wasn’t just seriously injured. His old body was shattered into pieces and even his soul was almost fragmented to the point of disappearing completely. Luckily, the main remnant of his soul was pulled into the tiny astral-being, resulting in him ‘surviving’ the ordeal.

But, there were consequences. Right now, although his soul force might be extremely strong, there was completely no astral energy in this newly created body, let alone law energy. He was like an ordinary human that had never cultivated before.

“Am I crippled..?” Qin Wentian mumbled.

“HAHAHA...” The crazy old freak suddenly started laughing uproariously. He inclined his head and stared at Qin Wentian while sighing, “To think there are actually such fools like you under the heavens. Don’t you know what sort of heaven-defying opportunity this is? Countless supreme and unrivaled characters would pay any price to be in your shoes, yet you are here wallowing in misery and sighing with regret?”

“Heaven-defying opportunity?” Qin Wentian started for a moment before his eyes gleamed.

In an instant, his heart started pounding ferociously. He stretched his perception outwards and could sense the flow of astral energy clearly. Extremely clearly in fact.

He seemed to have discovered something. Closing his eyes, he extended his soul perception skywards.

Not long after, when Qin Wentian opened his eyes again, sharpness gleamed within as his eyes flowed with spirit.

He glanced at the crazy old freak, finally understanding why he had laughed uproariously.

“You understand now?” The old freak continued laughing as he looked at Qin Wentian.

“Many thanks Senior.” Qin Wentian bowed.

“You are finally willing to call me senior?” The old freak stretched out his hand and pushed his long hair back. He grinned and said, “So what if your cultivation has to start again from zero? Do you know how many truly supreme characters are even willing to enter reincarnation for a chance like this? But even if they were willing to enter the cycle of samsara, they might not even have an opportunity like yours. Right now, although all your cultivation is gone, your powerful soul force and experiences remained. With a powerful soul force, how can your perception be weak in sensing astral energy? With your past experience, how would your cultivation be slow? With your comprehension and insights, how would you encounter any bottlenecks in the cultivation realms before the immortal emperor realm?!”

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded excitedly.

“Before this, which heavenly layer has your perception reached?” The old freak smiled as he asked.

Qin Wentian looked at him and replied, “The 8th heavenly layer.”

At this moment, it was the old freak’s turn to start. After that, he began laughing uproariously again.

“8th heavenly layer. Your first astral soul shall be from the 8th layer and in the future, all of your astral souls shall be from the 8th layer at the bare minimum. Not only that, you can select new constellations to condense your astral souls from, choosing your law attributes all over once again!”
