Ancient Godly Monarch

The crowd all had intrigued looks on their faces. Before this, that peak-stage immortal king actually shattered a palm strike imprint from the supreme crown prince. Although that spatial wall was created via him borrowing the law attributes of others, such unique abilities were also supremely powerful and extremely wondrous.

The Saber-Sword Immortal King might have many enemies, but he also had plenty of friends. The Southern Phoenix Clan was already very clear, showing their friendship but by doing so, they have offended the supreme crown prince and some peak-stage greater demons. Most probably from now on, it would be tough for them to establish dominance in the City of Ancient Emperors.

“He actually failed to kill him.” The experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were all unsightly. The Saber-Sword Immortal King was considered a supremely powerful enemy of their empire. Even their strongest immortal king, Huang Jiutian, had lost to him. Both sides already had a death grudge, if the Saber-Sword Immortal King doesn’t die, this matter would always be considered a humiliation for the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.

After all, everyone knew that the Saber-Sword Immortal King has killed plenty of experts from their Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.

Naturally, there were also experts from the Paragon Sword Sect and the Taihua Immortal Dynasty feeling depressed. To think that the Saber-Sword Immortal King had actually managed to escape.

However, for those supreme characters, they didn’t have too much of an reaction. Their eyes turned to the radiance emitted by the dao element. This dao element was a buddha-path one and the origin energy radiating from it seemed endless.

In a random direction, an extraordinary figure sat cross-legged in the air. His body emitted boundless buddhic light, akin to an indestructible golden body. Many buddhist runes floated around him, that figure was like an ancient buddha, forming a resonance with the dao element in the sky.

“The inheritor is actually him?” The eyes of many flashed, staring at the figure.

“Who would have thought that this person would succeed. There are many buddhist sects and clans, including the Askheart Temple, but no one managed to gain the approval of this dao element. This person actually managed to succeed. However, it was a fact that this man was an extraordinary individual. This man was one of the strongest elites standing at the very peak, the amount of emperor’s fate behind him was extremely shocking.

“I’ve long heard of the three ancient clans in the Southern Regions. The Jiang Clan has always been low profile and this Jiang Zihua’s magnificence knows no bounds, he is one of the most outstanding among the younger generations and might be one of the future leaders of the Jiang Clan. It’s rumored that one of the ancestors of the Jiang Clan was an eminent buddhist monk. He had seen through the buddha-path completely and decided to return to the secular world. From then on, the powerful Jiang Clan appeared in the immortal realms and has lasted since the ancient era till now.”

“Seems like the buddhist inheritance of the Jiang Clan isn’t any weaker compared to the other buddha sects.” Many people silently mused.

As for Qin Wentian and the others, Tuoba Saintsky borrowed the spatial law energy and directly teleported them to a remote mountain extremely far away.

“Senior brother, you are so powerful why don’t you directly teach that bastard crown prince a lesson?” Jun Mengchen felt a little anger as he asked Tuoba Saintsky.

Given Tuoba Saintsky’s strength, his combat prowess might not necessarily be inferior to the supreme crown prince.

“Didn’t you see those greater demons eyeing us like how tigers eye their prey? There are also other experts of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and the Violet Mountain. They were at the side, prepared to act any time. Once a war erupt between us, the situation would soon become uncontrollable.” Tuoba Saintsky calmly spoke. He had the greater picture in mind. He also knew that Qin Wentian was none other than the Saber-Sword Immortal King and understood that he had already offended those peak powers. Since Zi Daolong died in his hands, the people from the Violet Mountain were definitely here for revenge.

“Detestable! If the Saber-Sword Immortal King was at the peak-stage, how would he be defeated by the Yama King? That fellow merely depended on his higher cultivation base to act so overbearingly. If I was at his level, I could easily smash him apart with a single punch.”

“A loss is a loss, you don’t have to console me.” Qin Wentian didn’t mind it at all as he smiled. He knew Jun Mengchen was intentionally wanting to comfort him. How could he not know the intentions of his junior apprentice brother? However, this fellow seemed to have underestimated the state of his heart. How would he overly care about a defeat? He, Qin Wentian, has already cultivated for so many years and had reached the immortal king realm. Although he had his own pride, he was still someone that was able to take a loss.

Jun Mengchen laughed when he saw that his intentions were seen through. This caused several people from the Southern Phoenix Clan and Heavenly Talisman Realm to feel somewhat bewildered. When did Jun Mengchen become so close to the Saber-Sword Immortal King? They only traveled together once before, they shouldn’t be so familiar with each other right?

Also, when the Saber-Sword Immortal King was stomped by that gigantic foot, the expression on Nanfeng Yunxi’s face drastically changed, turning completely pale as though she lost her spirit. It was like she lost someone extremely dear to her.

Could the charm of this Saber-Sword Immortal King really be so great?

“Is that Yama King really so powerful?” Jun Mengchen asked. He understood Qin Wentian very well. From the start until now, when has Qin Wentian not jumped levels and fought his opponents? Reality was like this too, Qin Wentian completely dominated his opponents in the City of Ancient Emperors prior to the Yama King, easily killing over ten immortal kings, including peak-stage ones.

However, he still lost to Yama King in the end.

“Yan Luowang was directly conferred as a crown price among the many princes of the Senluo Immortal Empire. No one can contend against him, from this, one can very well know how terrifying he is.” A maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan spoke. “In truth, for peak-stage immortal kings, there aren’t really many of such characters in the entire immortal realms. It’s just that right now, many of them all decided to head here to the City of Ancient Emperors, wanting to contend against each other to ascend to the peak, welcoming the arrival of the new grand era.”

“Mhm, I heard that Yama King’s Asura Prison contains a fusion of many secret arts and law-attribute energy. It even has the power to negate his opponent’s laws.” As a peak-stage immortal king holy maiden of the Southern Phoenix Clan, this maiden was still considered knowledgeable.

“Mhm, the Asura Prison is his law domain. It’s already enough for him to have a single domain. This domain of his was formed from a fusion of secret arts and law-attribute energies and the most terrifying thing is none other than the power of negation in there. Inside his domain, we can only use the law energy that’s already stored within our bodies, there’s no way we can replenish it by forming a connection with the nine heavenly layers. Undoubtedly, his opponents that are trapped in his domain would be weakened severely, they even wouldn’t have the ability to unleash their own domains.” Qin Wentian replied. Unleashing a law domain had to depend on oneself as the central core, forming a connection with the constellations between heaven and earth before one could use their domain. With the negation effect, there was simply no way to ‘connect’ with the heavens and earth, how could one even use their law domains?

“In that case, we must be careful of this fellow in the future.” Jun Mengchen spoke.

“That fellow is extremely conceited and incomparably arrogant. For this time, if it wasn’t for the Saber-Sword Immortal King abducting Xu Qingyao, he basically wouldn’t have made a move. Hence, he might not be bothered to act against us in the future.” A holy maiden added.

“Given how chaotic the situation in the City of Ancient Emperors is, there’s no mistake if we act more cautiously.” Tuoba Saintsky replied. “Saber-Sword Immortal King, what are your plans? Why don’t you stick together with us?”

“I’m fine. I’m already used to roaming the wilderness alone and I plan to continue searching for ancient ruins to improve my cultivation.” Qin Wentian smiled as he rejected.

“What about your injuries?” Nanfeng Yunxi had a look of worry on her face.

“Don’t worry about it, I won’t be impeded by such small injuries.” Qin Wentian laughed. The others could only nod their heads as they dispersed eventually. Qin Wentian continued roaming the City of Ancient Emperors in search of other opportunities to gain good fortune.

Although he was defeated, his emperor’s fate wasn’t any lesser in the slightest, it was still as bright as ever, and might even be more resplendent than before. Given that he was at the mid-stage immortal king level and dared to fight with the supreme crown prince, Yama King, everyone in the City of Ancient Emperors was wowed by the Saber-Sword Immortal King’s strength. After personally witnessing the battle, their respect for him would naturally soar, resulting in an increase in his emperor’s fate.

With his strengthened emperor’s fate, Qin Wentian found many secret ruins as his strength slowly improved. That dao element was still visible in the air. After people in the immortal realms heard about it, many experts all surged towards the City of Ancient Emperors, including immortal emperors.

Two years later, on a remote mountain, Qin Wentian turned his gaze into the distance. There were too many changes to the city in these two years, and many bouts of good fortune appeared. Countless experts that came here had all benefited and there were even quite a few who managed to break through their shackles and successfully breaking through to the next realm.

However, Qin Wentian still felt that he still couldn’t break through to the peak-stage of the immortal king realm. The higher one climbed, the harder it would be to take the next step. Although he discovered many opportunities, he still wasn’t able to break through.

He glanced at the beam of light cascading down from the dao element. He believed that in the future, there might be a possibility for other dao elements to appear here in the City of Ancient Emperors. After contemplating for a long time, he made a decision to temporarily leave this place.

“Although I might miss out on gaining the inheritances from the dao elements, so what of it? Such inheritances were merely things tossed out here from the other immortal realms.” Qin Wentian mumbled. He believed that ultimately, cultivation would still have to depend on oneself.

As he thought till here, Qin Wentian’s silhouette flashed as he departed the area. At this point of time where everyone in the immortal realms was rushing to the City of Ancient Emperors, Qin Wentian silently left it. Before he departed, he went to visit Bai Qing once more, but he didn’t reveal his identity.

Qin Wentian knew that the wondrous phenomena of the City of Ancient Emperors wouldn’t cease temporarily and would continue on for quite some time. The attention of the entire immortal realms would be focused here and the people inside wouldn’t be willing to leave this place. Even for him, he would definitely come back again in the future.

…

In the Eastern Regions, within the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, Qin Wentian had finally returned. However, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and many of the nobles weren’t in the palace. They had all gone to the City of Ancient Emperors.

Qin Wentian arrived outside Qing`er’s princess manor. As the prince consort, there naturally wouldn’t be anyone obstructing him from coming here. However, Qing`er had not returned yet, but Mo Qingcheng was here.

“You’ve returned.” Upon seeing Qin Wentian returning, Mo Qingcheng didn’t say anything more. She quietly walked towards him and helped him tidy his clothes. She then spoke in a gentle voice, “Sister Qing`er has been spending these years cultivating with senior Matriarch Ji and rarely returns. Occasionally, she would send people back to check if you are back or not.”

“Did you miss me?” Qin Wentian warmly hugged Mo Qingcheng as he asked. Everytime they separated, it would be for many years. This actually caused Qin Wentian to feel guilt but Mo Qingcheng always seemed to have no complaints nor regrets.

“What do you think?” Mo Qingcheng winked mischievously, staring at Qin Wentian.

“I’m sure you didn’t miss me at all.” Qin Wentian intentionally stated, causing Mo Qingcheng to roll her eyes. She silently laid in his embrace and spoke lightly, “I missed you every day.”

Qin Wentian gently stroked her hair and smiled, “Let’s wait for Qing`er. When she returns, I will accompany you two properly this time around. We can roam the world for leisure to relax ourselves.”

“Really?” Mo Qingcheng inclined her head, staring at Qin Wentian.

“When have I ever lied to you before?” Qin Wentian smiled.

Mo Qingcheng’s eyes sparkled with light. She stared at the smile on Qin Wentian’s face as she replied, “You want me and sister Qing`er to accompany you, are you having any bad intentions?”

“Eh…” Black lines appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. After that, a naughty look flashed on his face as he hugged her tighter, “What bad intentions do you mean?”

Seeing his widening smile, Mo Qingcheng pinched his waist, “Little lecher, you truly have bad intentions!”

Qin Wentian was at a lost for words. How pure and innocent were his thoughts!
