Ancient Godly Monarch

The first grand banquet of the Qingcheng Realm was about to commence. Today, experts gathered from all eight directions, everywhere outside the Qingcheng Sainthall was filled to the brim. There were even more people now compared to the previous grand banquet held by the Lifelong Sainthall.

Right now, Qin Wentian has already moved to the Qingcheng Sainthall. Everything here was already properly arranged by the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord and the Xuanyuan Palace Lord. The restructuring of the nine world palaces have also been completed, each of the new palace lords ascended to their thrones smoothly, gained their rightful authorities.

Outside the Qingcheng Sainthall, Qin Wentian sat on the throne above the stairway of ten thousand steps. There were four beautiful women beside him. Mo Qingcheng and Qing`er sat on his left and right, Ye Qianyu and Beiming Youhuang sat in the seat next to Mo Qingcheng and Qing`er respectively.

Each of these four beauties had a different demeanor but all of them were undoubtedly incomparably radiant. Countless people stared at Mo Qingcheng and Qing`er. Now, everyone in the Qingcheng Realm already know that the two words of the Qingcheng Realm, ‘Qingcheng,’ were referring to Qin Wentian’s wives. It was rumored that their feelings for each other were extremely deep and had been together for many years. They spent their teens together and shared life and death, enduring many difficulties before they arrived at this point today.

Hence, this was why they sat at the left and right of Qin Wentian, enjoying the worship of the masses. This was something Qin Wentian had once silently vowed. If one day he managed to gain control of an entire realm, he would definitely allow Qing`er and Qingcheng to be together with him as they enjoyed the respect of the crowd together.

The Qingcheng Realmlord has already publicly announced that Ye Qianyu was his woman. But even a woman so charming like Ye Qianyu was unable to replace the position of his first two wives in his heart. For this point, one would be able to infer it just from the seating arrangements.

As for Beiming Youhuang, everyone was filled with speculation. This was especially so given the position of her seating. However, since the Qingcheng Realmlord had announced before that there was nothing on going with him and Beiming Youhuang, there shouldn’t be anything false about this. Given his status and position, there was basically no need for him to lie. Let alone, he had also said to the Lifelong Realmlord before that if she was his woman, how would he not dare to admit that?

However, even if there weren’t any official relations of love between them, the crowd guessed that they must have suffered many things together and they might have feelings for each other in their hearts.

In the direction of the nine world palaces, many people smiled at the Darknorth Immortal Emperor. He has a chance to be the same like the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, becoming Qin Wentian’s father-in-law. Naturally, this was only a possibility. No one could be sure of the exact relationship between Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang.

“Today is the day where the Qingcheng Realm’s grand banquet starts. Everyone taking their time to come here is considered a recognition to me. Three months ago, I’ve already said that the grand banquet this time around would be even more grand compared to the past ones in the Lifelong Realm. Everyone can enjoy the delicacies we prepared freely, I won’t be stingy at all. Also, for experts at the immortal-foundation realm and above, we will hold a competition for each cultivation realm on the gigantic platform. Anyone is allowed to participate, this isn’t limited only to people from the nine world palaces. People from the various powers, or even unaffiliated cultivators can join as well. For those who manage to place in the top ten, I will heavily reward them. They can either enter one of the nine world palaces to assume an official position or they can choose to be nurtured heavily. If any of the empyreans from the nine world palaces wants to, they can accept the top ten as disciples as well.”

Qin Wentian continued, “For the top three in each cultivation realm, I’ll allow the nine world palace lords themselves to accept them as personal disciples.”

When everyone heard this, their eyes gleamed with sharpness and anticipation. However, when they thought of how intense the competition would be, many people felt somewhat disappointed, knowing that they don’t stand a chance. However, the Qingcheng Realmlord did indeed open up the table and gave many geniuses a chance. Even creating a bout of good fortune where the top three of all the cultivation realms can choose to become a personal disciple under one of the world palace lords. Leaving aside the other rewards, just this alone was extremely attractive to many geniuses.

“We immortal-foundation experts have a chance as well.” Many juniors at the immortal-foundation realm clenched their fists tightly, feeling excitement. This time, they had to go all out. To many people, this was truly good fortune, capable of propelling them up into the heavens in a single step, directly becoming core characters of the Qingcheng Realm. Right now, all the world palace lords were the Qingcheng Realmlord’s trusted aides. As long as they became the disciples of the nine world palace lords, they would have the chance in the future to slowly come in contact with the Qingcheng Realmlord.

“Everyone, don’t feel restrained, just enjoy the banquet to your utmost. Next, I will merely act the part of a silent spectator. Everything else shall be handed by the nine world palace lords.” Qin Wentian laughed. He originally was extremely young and handsome. The sound of his laughter gave people the feeling of enjoying a breeze in spring time. Many people silently mused that the Qingcheng Realmlord’s charisma was far above the Lifelong Realmlord.

The sound of his laughter instantly caused countless beauties here in the crowd to fall into a daze. Right now, many young misses of the various aristocrat clans and major powers were all present here. When they heard of how much value the Qingcheng Realmlord placed on emotions, and the fact that he was also young and handsome, they decided to come here for a look. After they saw him, they realized that the rumors did his appearance no justice. They were all filled with envy and admiration for Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng, able to accompany him by his side.

The Lifelong Realmlord had countless beauties in his harem. Yet now, as the Qingcheng Realmlord, Qin Wentian only had three women. If he was willing to, most probably all the beauties from the major powers wouldn’t mind giving themselves to him.

After all, the rumors stated that Qin Wentian cultivated for less than a thousand years, and was even younger than many immortal kings. It was impossible to find another more outstanding person of the younger generation in the Qingcheng Realm.

The Red Dust Immortal Palace Mistress voluntarily led her dancers up to perform. This time, those who performed all did so willingly. Many of them envied Ye Qianyu, being able to be at the side of such a legendary character.

“Senior Yi, Wentian respectfully offers you a toast.” When the banquet commenced, Qin Wentian truly did act the part of a silent spectator. He no longer paid attention to the proceedings and turned his gaze towards World Overlord Yi who was seated not far away from him. By arranging Yi’s seat to be on the same row as him, this was naturally a mark of his respect to Yi. Yi’s existence also caused many people to feel admiration. Today, they actually could see two world overlords.

“Wentian, now that you’ve already reached my level, there’s no need to call me senior. Just refer to me as Yi.” World Overlord Yi spoke.

“I’ve gotten used to that. After all in my heart, you are truly an esteemed senior from the elder generation.” Qin Wentian smiled.

“Alright, up to you then. You do really have a sweet tongue, causing the hearts of many to be moved. Seems like you really have the heart to nurture the juniors of the Qingcheng Realm.” Yi laughed.

“This world would never lack geniuses. If there are truly elites with surpassing-levels of talent, why don’t we put our heart in nurturing them? In the future they would have a chance to become legendary characters as well.” Qin Wentian smiled.

“That’s only natural. In the past, Lifelong didn’t do this because he was selfish. He had too strong a desire towards power and wasn’t willing to see people of this realm exceed him.”

“He was still too narrow-minded. If he was truly magnanimous, so what if there are people who surpass him? They would still be respectful to him for guiding them and wouldn’t have thoughts of replacing him. After all, when one is in the world overlord realm, there are still many other things they can pursue.”

“That’s indeed true. Wentian, given your talent I’m sure you won’t be limited to here. Although the Qingcheng Realm is extremely vast, having endless stretches of territories, such a place was already sufficient for the ambition of the Lifelong Realmlord. But to you, I still feel that this place is too small. You should seek out a vaster stage.” Yi suggested.

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded his head. This was only something natural.

“Today, although I’ve comprehended heavenheart mandates and gained the title of the Qingcheng Realmlord, senior should know that in reality, I’ve yet to fully enter the World Overlord Realm. Next, I’m prepared to put in more effort in cultivation until I can comprehend enough insights to manifest my world heart. At the same time, I also want to learn more about the general situation of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Qin Wentian spoke, this was his plan. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was just too vast, he wouldn’t be unduly humble but he would also not be egotistical and arrogant.

In the ancient battlefield, Qin Wentian’s horizons were broadened, he had seen before many extremely powerful heavenheart mandates and naturally knew that the Lifelong Realmlord was just considered one of the weaker World Overlords. Right now, although he had sufficient strength to kill the Lifelong Realmlord, he was still too weak in the perspective of the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. If he encountered a world overlord who had comprehended supreme heavenheart mandates, he wouldn’t be their opponent.

For the World Overlord Realm, it wasn’t divided into smaller tiers. Because, the difference in strength between each world overlord could be extremely vast. So vast to the extend where there was basically no way to contain the difference in tiers.

“Good plan. But now that you would have to endure immense loneliness as you seek to improve via cultivation.” Yi laughed. Now that Qin Wentian was the Qingcheng Realmlord, he could do whatever he wanted and there was no need for him to feel any restraints at all, he could enjoy himself to the utmost if he so wanted, or he could go and roam his territories. After all, cultivation was a very boring and assiduous matter.

“To me, cultivation is also joy.” Qin Wentian smiled and replied. He turned his gaze towards the crowd. Right now, the Qingcheng Realm has already been established and as the Qingcheng Realmlord, it can be considered that he can already stand stably here in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Next, he needed a period of time for his realm’s foundation to be stable first and nothing was more suitable than to use this time for cultivation.

There were still many places in the ancient battlefield where he wished to venture to. How would he feel that cultivation was dry and boring? Everyday would be extremely fascinating, he was prepared to use a very long period of time to fully explore each secret realm inside the ancient battlefield and truly step into the World Overlord Realm.

“Treating cultivation as a joyful matter is also a kind of heart state.” Yi shook his head and smiled. He wasn’t able to do so. No wonder his talent for cultivation wasn’t as good as Qin Wentian’s.

At this moment, Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed as a frown appeared on his face. He and Yi stared in the distance at the same time. From there, a group of experts could be seen flying through the air, gradually moving nearer. They then arrived here before Qin Wentian, and there were quite a few empyreans in the lead, clearly the leaders of this powerful group.

Countless people below stared in the air at this group of people. Today was the day the grand banquet of the Qingcheng Realm commenced yet there were actually people who directly dared to fly through the air, barging in here uninvited? Who would be so audacious and rude?

“I pay my respects to the Qingcheng Realmlord Qin Wentian.” The person standing in the frontmost row clasped his hands, expressing his attitude. However, his manner didn’t seem to be very respectful.

“Where are you all from?” Qin Wentian’s expression was calm as he stared at them.

“We all came from the Heavenly Talisman Realm. After we heard Realmlord Qin had killed the Lifelong Realmlord and ascended to the throne with the title of the Qingcheng Realmlord, the Heavenly Talisman Realmlord immediately specially arranged for us to come here to offer congratulations to you” That person laughed. Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. The Heavenly Talisman Realm was the neighbouring Realm to the Qingcheng Realm. The news had spread very quickly indeed.

“Received. You guys can leave now.” Qin Wentian directly sent out a guest-expulsion order. The attitudes of these people from the Heavenly Talisman Realm weren’t that polite. Since that was the case, there was naturally no need for him to be polite too.

“Realmlord Qin and us can be considered as being in the same sect before, why is there a need to cast us so far aside? In any case, although Realmlord Qin is the Realmlord of an entire realm now, you can be considered my junior apprentice brother. Master, the Heavenly Talisman Realmlord intentionally asked us here to offer well wishes.” That person laughed loudly, instantly causing great shock to surface in the hearts of many people. The Qingcheng Realmlord Qin Wentian was actually a disciple of the Heavenly Talisman Realmlord?

“Scram.” Qin Wentian only replied with a single world. That man coldly smiled, he opened his mouth, wanting to say something more but Qin Wentian then continued, “Speak another sentence and you shall be executed.”

The expression of that person instantly turned extremely ugly. He continued to smile coldly, staring at Qin Wentian, “Farewell.”

As he spoke, he directly led his group away. They came here simply to embarrass Qin Wentian. In the lower world, Qin Wentian had destroyed the Heavenly Talisman Realm’s plan and this incident clearly has already spread to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Everyone could see Qin Wentian’s attitude and instantly knew that there was much more to that story which they didn’t know. If not, why would Qin Wentian be so respectful to Yi, yet not respectful to his master? Many people felt curious about this but this wasn’t something they ought to be worrying themselves over. They might as well enjoy this grand banquet instead. In the future, there would still be opportunities to find out more.

“No need to care about them, let the banquet continue.” Qin Wentian waved his hand and spoke. Everyone nodded, the grand banquet of the Qingcheng Realm continued to commence. What happened earlier was just a small ripple of disturbance, it didn’t disrupt the banquet in anyway.
