Chapter 1740 - Return to the Lifire Palace
Chapter 1740: Return to the Lifire Palace
Before this, when the Darknorth Immortal Emperor and the others entered Ancient Azure Mystic, they took some of the core immortal emperors of their forces with them. This was also the same for the Southern Phoenix Clan. Although everyone was willing to follow Qin Wentian to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, it was impossible for all of them to go or it would leave Azure Mystic undefended. Hence they decided that for all emperor-ranked experts in Ancient Azure Mystic to temporarily stay here for now. These people would be the ones taking over, becoming part of the ruling party of Azure Mystic.
All of this was too sudden. Those powers that were gathered here were all shocked. They didn’t expect the leaders of the various powers who had vanished for tens of years, suddenly passed on their positions to their descendants. This event was sufficient to cause an earthquake-level commotion in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. The leadership of all the major powers was changing hands. Never has something like this happened before in Azure Mystic.
Even before Azure Mystic was completely calm, the handing over of rulership was naturally imperative. Protectors were needed as well. If not, the hard to establish discipline in Heaven Empyrean City might be broken and chaos would descend to Azure Mystic again. Also, Qin Wentian chose to temporarily let Di Tian stay behind to guard the peace. If there was a chance to, Di Tian could represent him to enter the floating city in Ancient Azure Mystic.
Not only were all the people from the various major powers shocked, even Xu Li and others from the Lifire Palace whom Qin Wentian brought to the lower world were shocked as well. They discovered that those who entered Ancient Azure Mystic with Qin Wentian had all undergone a transformation. The demeanors of many people were completely different and they had no way to sense what their cultivation bases were exactly. It was very possible that all of these people have already surpassed the immortal emperor realm.
This caused them to feel extremely envious. The monarchs and governors of the Lifire Palace here all had a different look in their eyes when they stared at Qin Wentian. Was this the ability and charm of their new Palace Lord? Sadly, they still weren’t trusted aides of Qin Wentian yet or they might have been able to have a share of this good fortune.
Naturally they wouldn’t have any unhappy thoughts as well. After all, they were the subordinates of the previous Lifire Palace Lord. After Qin Wentian took over, it was already very good that he didn’t touch their positions. It was impossible for them to become his trusted aides so quickly. Even Xu Li, who was Ye Qianyu’s ex subordinate, wasn’t brought along by Qin Wentian. What opinions would they have then?
However, some of them silently vowed that they would definitely follow this Lifire Palace Lord and become his trusted aides. The brightness of their futures would depend on him.
After everything was arranged, Qin Wentian decided to set off. Today, many friends and family members gathered here to send them off on their journey.
His foster fathers Qin Chuan, Ye Qingyun, his sisters Qin Yao, Ye Lingshuang, his friends Fan Le, Luo Huan, Lin Shuai and the others. All these familiar faces were here together with him. Now, they no longer needed to return to the particle world. Everywhere in this immortal realms belonged to the Heaven Empyrean, Qin Wentian. They could have everything they wanted and wouldn’t be forced to survive by the mercy of others. They can cultivate anywhere they want to, enjoy endless cultivation resources or simply choose to live a leisurely and carefree life.
Qin Wentian wanted them to stay in safety inside Heaven Empyrean City. If they missed home, there are immortal emperors here who could escorts them back to the particle world. He believed that none if the immortal emperors would reject this request. Right now, everyone wanted to form a good relationship with the Heaven Empyrean. As long as the friends and family members of the Heaven Empyrean wished for something, everyone would do their utmost to help them.
Everyone had also felt how imposing and majestic Qin Wentian was currently. As the saying goes, when one achieves the Dao, even the dogs and chickens belonging to him would rise to the heavens. All his friends and families can now do what they want to, living a life of no worries. If they wished to improve further, they could always depend on the boundless cultivation resources to cultivate.
“Qing`er.” Fairy Qingmei stared at her disciple, feeling a strong reluctance. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? To her, that place was truly too far away.
The people of the Mo Clan crowded around Mo Qingcheng, all of them were extremely worried about her, especially her parents. Her younger brother and sister turned to Qin Wentian, “Brother-in-law, will you stop teaching us cultivation now?”
“Brother-in-law has something important to do. Now, the Heaven Empyrean Palace already has so many immortal emperors, they are all qualified enough to teach you two cultivation. You can seek guidance from them. I might not be able to personally coach you any longer.” Qin Wentian gently spoke.
“Smelly brat, we always gathered for so short a period of time before having to be separated for immensely long periods. Be more careful when you are outside.” Luo Huan glared at Qin Wentian as she spoke.
“Understood, senior sister.” Qin Wentian smiled bitterly.
“Take good care of Qingcheng and Qing`er. If you dare to bully them, you better be careful because I, your senior sister, will be coming right after you to teach you a lesson.”
“How would I dare to? It would be great if they don’t bully me.” Qin Wentian smiled weakly. He then turned and bowed to Qin Chuan and Ye Qingyun, “This child is unfilial. In the future once I have a stable foothold in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, I will definitely fetch foster fathers over there together.”
“Just be at ease and leave. We have lived for so many years, why would we need you to worry about us? You better be more cautious when you are out there, okay?” Qin Chuan smiled.
Qin Wentian nodded. This scene was very familiar. Back then when he first left his particle world, a similar scene to this has occurred before as well.
However this time around, there were many people following him together. His two wives, Qingcheng and Qing`er, and many elders such as the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, Bai Wuya and the others. There were many friends with him too, Jun Mengchen, Nanfeng Yunxi, Purgatory, Little Rascal, and many other subordinates. This time around, he had many powerful forces with him. This was unlike previous time when he was alone.
“Let’s move out.” Qin Wentian spoke. After that, their entire group departed the area.
Right now, there already is a spatial teleportation array built connecting the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. By using that, they could traverse through the starry space. This teleportation array was built by several super powers and it naturally wasn’t free of charge. To use it, one had to pay an astronomical amount of treasures. But even so, many people didn’t hesitate and still paid the fee. There were experts from other powers aligned with the super powers stationed here. They acted as the middle men and although they weren’t able to earn much, they didn’t want to give up on this opportunity.
In the short term, the earnings might not amount to much but this teleportation array was definitely going to be here for a long time. As long as they were stationed here for a thousand years, ten thousand years, a million years...How terrifying would the benefits they gained be??
To those super powers, they naturally didn’t lack in far-sight and vision. All of the super powers had extremely good judgement.
The restriction order on Azure Mystic was relaxed. To them, this was an opportunity, they naturally wanted to grab it.
This also made things more convenient for Qin Wentian. Right now, he didn’t have the ability to create a spatial teleportation array linking the two realms, he could only use the array built by others. After paying out an astronomical amount of treasures, his group directly stepped into the array and teleported straight to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Although they had now arrived there, the distance to the Lifelong Realm was still extremely far away.
After spending a long period of time on their journey, Qin Wentian finally arrived back at the Lifire Palace with everyone.
In the Lifire Palace, Ye Qianyu was no longer present. The Evil Emperor had also followed her to the Lifelong Sainthall. After Qin Wentian returned, he directly commanded the various governors, monarchs, protectors and the others to gather before him for a discussion.
Everyone arrived at the Lifire Palace with their fastest speed.
In the Lifire Palace’s great hall, Qin Wentian sat on the throne. The experts before him were as many as the clouds, all with transcendent auras. Other than him, there were two other beauties standing on the left and right of him. Their beauty was extraordinary, akin to goddesses.
“Your subordinates pay our respects to Palace Lord.” All of the important personnel of the Lifire Palace bowed together. On their way here, Qin Wentian had already inform his friends and family members about his current situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. They weren’t too surprised, other than feeling a little shocked at Qin Wentian’s abilities. Qin Wentian came here alone to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, and he actually managed to established such a foundation, becoming the palace lord of an entire region. He had countless immortal emperors under him and if it wasn’t to return Azure Mystic to a peaceful era, their previous respective major powers in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms wouldn’t even be able to enter Qin Wentian’s eyes.
“These two are my wives. Mo Qingcheng and Evergreen Qing`er.” Qin Wentian solemnly introduced. From now onwards, all his subordinates knew about this.
“We pay our respect to the two madams.” Everyone bowed again, extremely polite. Their gazes didn’t dare to have any disrespect. All of them had heard about the news. Ye Qianyu was brought to the Lifelong Sainthall because the Lifelong Realmlord seemed to be very unhappy with Qin Wentian. No one knew what things would happen in the Lifelong Banquet this time around.
And currently, Qin Wentian would definitely feel extremely angry in his heart because of this. It was best not to antagonize him or the consequences would be unimaginably dire.
“How much longer before the Lifelong Banquet officially starts?” Qin Wentian then asked.
“Reporting to Palace Lord, the Lifelong Banquet will commence several months from now.”
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. “For the matters of tax contributions, all of you make sure to handle that well. Also, there’s one more thing I want to inform you guys of in advance. I’m sure everyone already know that Ye Qianyu was brought to the Lifelong Sainthall by the Realmlord, right?”
All his subordinates instantly stopped talking when they heard this. This matter had implications to the Realmlord and was quite sensitive. At this time, it was best not to talk too much. If not, if they accidentally said the wrong thing, no one would be able to save them. They weren’t able to offend Qin Wentian or the Lifelong Realmlord.
“I’m afraid the Realmlord is very unhappy with me. This time around, my position as the Lifire Palace Lord might change hands and if the Realmlord really selects a new Lifire Palace Lord, I might choose to leave this place. In the future, all of you must work hard for the Realmlord. Naturally, if there are people willing to follow me, I won’t let those who choose to follow me down.” Qin Wentian spoke.
When they heard Qin Wentian’s words, the eyes of all these important personnel of the Lifire Palace flickered unceasingly. They could tell that there were many deep layers of meaning to it.
At this moment, should they express their loyalty and still follow him?
But if they expressed their loyalty now, those who do so might have their identities leaked to the Realmlord. At that time, they would have no choice but to leave with Qin Wentian. It was still better not to talk casually at such a moment.
“Maybe the Realmlord has no such intentions. Palace Lord might be worrying too much?” A monarch stated.
“That’s right, Palace Lord is trusted heavily by the Realmlord, why would he try to touch Palace Lord’s position?”
Several people spoke out. Although they seemed like they were talking nonsense, it was a kind of expression of their attitudes too.
All of them said that nothing would happen and Qin Wentian would be fine. This clearly meant that if Qin Wentian was really in trouble, they naturally wouldn’t follow him any longer!
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded his head, staring at everyone. His gaze actually caused many people to tremble. Those people who said those words earlier have undoubtedly already offended Qin Wentian!
