Qin Wentian stared at Bai Wuya and asked, “Senior, do you want to head over there?”
“Mhm, the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range has always been mysterious, the same as the Myriad Devil Islands. Although humans aren’t forbidden from entering, only a rare few could survive after they chose to enter. A great beast tide is extremely rare in the immortal realms, I naturally want to take a look. I asked you to come over because I want to know if are you interested in this matter?” Bai Wuya asked.
“I also wish to head over to take a look.” Qin Wentian nodded lightly. Even if Bai Wuya didn’t ask, he also had to go over there. Something major must have happened or Little Rascal wouldn’t send him that signal. A huge change or unforeseen event must have occurred in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
“There are no problems if you wish to go but now that Eastern Sage is in the shadows, his killing intent towards you and me must be extremely intense. He might act against us. Even leaving aside Eastern Sage, there are many other major characters who want to kill you. For example, the Violet Emperor is one of them. Although he might want face and not be so thick-skinned as to act against you, but if there’s a chance for him to do so, he definitely wouldn’t show any mercy.”
Bai Wuya continued, “Hence, even when roaming the immortal realms, you have to be incomparably cautious.”
Qin Wentian frowned. Eastern Sage is truly extremely troublesome because he didn’t die. If he wanted to kill Eastern Sage, unless he had the aid of a peak-stage immortal emperor or an extremely powerful mid-stage immortal emperor, it would be impossible to kill Eastern Sage even if he could defeat him.
For every day Eastern Sage remained alive, he would feel threatened by that.
“Emperor Yu is a peak-stage immortal emperor but there’s no way I can request senior Emperor Yu to do anything. In addition, I don’t know his attitude towards this.” Qin Wentian mused. Because he was the Saint Lord of this generation, Emperor Yu protected him. He had no real way to request Emperor Yu to kill Eastern Sage for him.
If he really wanted to kill Eastern Sage, he would have to request help from some of the most powerful seniors in the Heavenly Talisman Realm. However, people of this level were rare even in the Heavenly Talisman Realm. He also didn’t have any connections with such powerful seniors, what could he offer them to kill Eastern Sage?
“You should go to the Evergreen Immortal Empire. If the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor heads to the Desolate Mountains, there should be several powerful characters going there as well, including your father-in-law. If that’s the case, he wouldn’t be able to act against you so easily then.” Bai Wuya laughed. Qin Wentian nodded. After that, Qin Wentian bid farewell and left, bringing along with him several experts of the Battle Saint Tribe as he stepped onto the teleportation array leading to the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
At the Evergreen Immortal Empire, Evergreen Longhao and many other experts were there at the array to welcome Qin Wentian’s group.
“Qin Wentian, I heard that your performance was extraordinary during the immortal war. You could cripple Dongsheng Kun and have the combat prowess of a mid-stage immortal king. I have a whole new level of respect for you.” Evergreen Longhao stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. Before this, he knew that Qin Wentian and his younger sister were both in love. But as a prince as well as an immortal king, although he knew Qin Wentian was extraordinary, he didn’t treat Qin Wentian as an equal. But after that immortal war, Qin Wentian’s performance was simply too dazzling. As such a young immortal king, he outstripped all his peers, his potential was simply shocking.
“Elder brother, don’t tease me.” Qin Wentian smiled. Evergreen Longhao was Qing`er’s elder brother. There was naturally no problem by referring to him as such.
“Don’t be so modest. Your talent is really unprecedented.” Evergreen Longhao laughed. “Are you here this time around to look for Qing`er?”
“Has Qing`er returned?” Qin Wentian asked.
“She has not yet. Senior Matriarch Ji is guiding her on cultivation. If you wish to meet her, you can use the teleportation array here and head to Matriarch Ji’s sect.” Evergreen Longhao spoke.
“It’s fine then. I heard news that there’s a great beast tide forming in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range. Has elder brother received this news?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Mhm, a rarely seen beast tide. Now, the news has already shaken the immortal realms. Experts of major powers should have received this news too as they head towards Skybreak City.”
“Elder brother, do you intend to go there? Does his Majesty have any thoughts on this?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Mhm, it’s said that the repercussions of the appearance of the beast tide this time around is extremely great. We have to be vigilant and guard against any possible invasion. Royal father will head over too. Since you are already here, let’s go together.”
“Right.” Qin Wentian nodded. The Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range was incomparably vast, he had no idea how many demonic beasts were within. Most probably, the number of demons were equal to the number of humans in the immortal realms and if this great beast tide truly intends to invade, the people of the northern regions would all be completely annihilated. No wonder the northern regions spread this news so urgently, wanting the other major powers to be on the alert.
Such an incident was extremely rare, but there were still cases which happened before in the history of the immortal realms. According to some records, the Desolate Mountains did war with the immortal realms before. There were ancient emperors back then, but there were also ultimate demons in the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range that were equal to the ancient emperors. The demons then wanted to conquer the human world, unifying the immortal realms under their reign.
“Your highness, would those powers of the northern regions be too sensitive regarding this?” Someone asked. After all, the major powers in the northern regions were all extremely powerful. A beast tide might be terrifying, but if peak-level emperors acted, they would still be able to suppress it.
“We have never experienced it before, hence we naturally have no idea of how fearsome it is. However, you all have to know that the Desolate Mountains are a paradise for demonic beasts, just like how the Myriad Devil Islands are for the devil cultivators. Do you know how strong they are exactly and how many supreme demon powers are within?” Evergreen Longhao spoke, his words causing the expressions of everyone to turn solemn.
Indeed, nobody knew how strong the Desolate Mountains were exactly. Although they had not launched any invasions for countless years, it was sure to have sent demonic beasts out to infiltrate the immortal realms, to understand the situation and our foundation. Their understanding of humans far surpassed the understanding of humans to them.
“This time, a storm will definitely rise up.” Evergreen Longhao murmured. They came to the emperor palace and paid their respects to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor before all of them went to the teleportation array and headed towards the northern regions together.
However, this time around, they didn’t head to the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. They went to a place named Skybreak City situated in the northern regions instead. This majestic city was just next to the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range and many major powers of the northern regions were currently staying here to monitor the movements of their enemy should there be any. There were also some who chose to enter the Desolate Mountains to temper themselves.
Skybreak City was an extremely vast city in the northern regions. It’s even larger compared to the royal capital of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, and this place was governed jointly by all the various major powers of the north.
In this city, experts were everywhere, as the yearning for strength was extremely intense, imprinted into the minds of those who lived here. Given that this city was right next to the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range, the people here were already used to life and death battles, and were all exceedingly valiant and as tough as nails.
During these few days, Skybreak City became even more lively as the experts from major powers around the immortal realms all rushed here. In addition, the people who came were all exceedingly powerful characters. Immortal kings could be seen everywhere. After all, to cross over to the world of demons, immortal-foundation characters wouldn’t be of much use.
At this moment, at the boundary of Skybreak City, countless figures stood atop a golden rampart as they peered into the distance, staring at the mountains while tidal waves of fear rose in their hearts.
Up ahead, countless demonic beasts could be seen around each of the mountains, tightly packed together. Although they were very far from the humans, the humans could all feel a supremely strong demonic qi radiating forth from there. Even for people in Skybreak City, they had never seen so many demonic beasts gathering together before.
On one of the mountain peaks in the desolate range, there were many terrifying Moonnight Demon Wolves. Their cold eyes gleamed with the pale light of the moon and just a glance from them made the crowd involuntarily shiver. These demonic wolves all had gigantic bodies of up to a hundred feet. There were even wolf kings who were the size of a mountain.
This was merely the force of a single mountain in the vast Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range. In there, each mountain had different types of demons. It wasn’t that they could not take human form, but all of them chose to appear in their demonic forms at this moment, coldly staring at Skybreak City, as though a violent outburst would be launched at any time.
“The people from the northern regions are finally here.” At this moment, everyone inclined their heads and stared in the air only to see a group of experts from the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty flying through the air. There were many people carrying a sedan, and within the sedan, an absolute beauty could be seen.
“Just the side of her face is already so beautiful. I wonder who is she.” Many mused silently.
“Beauty, why don’t you come out and let me take you for a walk.” At this moment, a more gutsy person spoke out. Tyrannical auras instantly gushed forth from this group of people, they were from the central regions, a major power named the Thundergod Hall.
The beautiful woman in the sedan glanced over in that direction. An incomparably cold beam of light seemingly shot out from her eyes.
“Argh!” The person who spoke earlier screamed in misery.
The experts of the Thundergod Hall felt their hearts shaking. One of them inclined his head, “Friend from the northern regions, are your actions not a little too overbearing?”
“Whoever sprouts nonsense again, just die.” An extremely cold voice rang out from within the sedan.
“You…” The people of the Thundergod Hall raged.
“You people of the Thundergod Hall better watch your manners. She is the number one genius of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Beiming Youhuang. You all can’t afford to offend her.” A misty voice rang out, causing the hearts of many to tremble. So that beautiful woman was the princess of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, Beiming Youhuang? No wonder she was so domineering.
“Youhuang, long time no see.” A group of figures walked over, they were from the northern regions as well.
“He is Pei Qing, the previous number one youngest immortal emperor in history, but he was eventually overtaken by Princess Youhuang.” When they glanced at the person who spoke, the eyes of everyone flashed. When Pei Qing and Beiming Youhuang stood together, they were truly a dazzling pair indeed.
Beiming Youhuang quietly nodded, she didn’t say anything, exuding her usual coldness. This caused everyone to feel that Beiming Youhuang seemed to have no feelings towards Pei Qing.
