This war, has ended.
Qin Wentian, died in battle.
Before this, the Southern Phoenix Matriarch, Qin Wentian and the Senluo Immortal Emperor agreed that after this war, all grudges would be reset to zero. However, could this really be done?
This was such an intense war. Evergreen Qing`er, one of the core characters in the war, her hair turned white in an instant. The man whom she loved deeply had died. Could all grudges really be reset to zero? Leaving aside her talent, there was still the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and Matriarch Ji behind her.
There was another shocking scene which everyone saw. A female immortal king from the Judiciary Devil Hall actually cried tears of blood. Nobody knew what that meant but at the very least, if this priestess became the controller of the Judiciary Devil Hall in the future, she would definitely spare no expense and lead the devil army of her hall back to the immortal realms for revenge.
The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect lost their most outstanding disciple. Everyone in the immortal realms knew that ever since when Qin Wentian was still weak, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had already been at his back, nurturing him as one of the core members. How could all grudges be reset to zero?
Everything that happened today has already determined that this war, was just a trigger point. In the future, there most likely wouldn’t be any peace in the immortal realms.
In addition, leaving aside the immortal emperors who died in the war, there were several others who were injured. The White Emperor destroyed the Skymist Immortal Empire completely. Other than the few immortal emperors who managed to escape, the Skymist Immortal Empire no longer existed. After that, he even attacked the Paragon Sword Sect. Could the grudges between them really be reset to zero?
For the experts of the Ying Clan, the Jiang Clan, the Thundergod Hall and the others, a faint smile could be seen in their eyes. The result of this battle was enough. This storm would surely continue on. Some of these powers might still be relatively peaceful for a few years but all of them would eventually be engulfed by the storm.
Also, things would definitely be more interesting if they returned to the City of Ancient Emperors to contend against each other now.
“Southern Phoenix Matriarch. If there’s a chance go, I’ll definitely capture you back to my clan for breeding purposes.” Jia Yemo of the phoeroc race spoke. After that, his silhouette flashed as he soared through the skies. The other phoerocs respectively departed. Qin Wentian was the culprit who killed Jia Huangtian. Since he has already died, there was no longer a need to persist with this war.
The Southern Phoenix Matriarch coldly glanced over. After that, the major powers started to retreat and soon vanished into the horizons. Even for people like the Skymist Immortal Empire who had an irreconcilable grudge with the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Violet Emperor and Eastern Sage, all departed.
The Southern Phoenix Matriarch and Matriarch Ji then glanced at Qing`er as they sighed.
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor retracted the Ancient Evergreen Tree. Qing`er stared at everyone in the air and bowed with her head full of white hair, filled with gratitude to them for participating in this war.
Regardless of what the ending was, these people were willing to fight for Qin Wentian.
After that, she turned and walked towards Mo Qingcheng who was still kneeling on the ground. Mo Qingcheng knelt there unmoving. No sounds could be heard from her.
Qing`er stretched out her hand to stroke Mo Qingcheng’s hair before helping her to get up on her feet.
Mo Qingcheng inclined her head. With just a single glance at her, the hearts of everyone here pounded violently.
They had already noticed this maiden before and many of them knew about her relationship with Qin Wentian. Maybe, because Qin Wentian didn’t want his enemies to target her, he didn’t say farewell to her earlier.
She was originally a beauty whose appearance wasn’t in anyway inferior to Qing`er. But at this moment, her eyes lost all luster and had the grey look of dead ashes. There was no hints of life or spirit within, as though she was already dead. At the instant Qin Wentian had died, her life seemingly ended as well. Her heart had died with him at that same moment.
Qing`er stared into Mo Qingcheng’s eyes and gradually carried her up as she walked into the imperial palace. She promised Qin Wentian that she would definitely take good care of Qingcheng.
“My condolences.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch stared at their backs ad she sighed. She then glance at the location where Qin Wentian perished as she brought her experts away.
All the experts departed respectively. This war was a war that could determined the future of the immortal realms. It finally ended with Qin Wentian’s death. News of this war swiftly circulated around the boundless immortal realms. The other major powers who didn’t participate soon received the news.
After that, the news spread from the upper echelons to all the main cities and to the minor cities, gradually circulating through the entire immortal realms.
Qin Wentian’s name resounded out in all areas of the immortal realms for the first time, no longer merely in the eastern regions.
In addition, many powerful immortal emperors were not even as famous as Qin Wentian. This heaven-shocking battle where Qin Wentian was surrounded by emperors, he killed three immortal emperors in retaliation. After he perished, the hair of the princess of the Evergreen Immortal Empire turned white in an instant. While a judiciary priestess from the Myriad Devil Islands cried tears of blood for him. This story became a legendary one as it circulated around the common people of the immortal realms.
Also, two other peak powers, the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect were eradicated. Only a few immortal emperors of either powers remained alive.
…
In the Jiyue Hall of the Southern Phoenix Clan.
Back then, Nanfeng Jiyue’s talent was unquestionable. In this era, the owner of the hall, Nanfeng Yunxi, her cultivation talent was just as terrifying. Many people were speculating that Nanfeng Yunxi might be a character on par with Nanfeng Jiyue.
At this moment, in an elegant courtyard within the Jiyue Hall, the melody of a zither could be heard. This melody was beautiful, so beautiful that it caused people to feel a sense of sorrow.
“Shengge.” A voice rang out. After that a beautiful maiden of the Southern Phoenix Clan walked over.
“Dang!” A music note suddenly quivered as a string of the zither broke. Nanfeng Shengge stared at it as she smiled, “Ultimately it’s still an ordinary zither. The strings can break easily, humans can die easily…”
“Shengge, after the matriarch has returned, the melody of your zither has not been stable. How many times has it been since the strings on your zither broke? It has never happened in the past before. In addition, you seem to have cast matters of your cultivation to the side. Could it be that his death has such a great impact on you? Making it so that you cannot come to terms with reality?” This maiden was also a protector for Nanfeng Yunxi. She was someone who was very close with Nanfeng Shengge.
Ever since the Southern Phoenix Matriarch and her experts returned with the news, Nanfeng Shengge became like this. This maiden naturally could guess at the reason.
Nanfeng Shengge gently smiled, her beauty resembled that of a portrait and was on the level of Nanfeng Yunxi.
“We cultivate for a lifetime, and although our lives are incomparably long, we might only meet some people once in our lifetime. He, was undoubtedly such a rare character.” Nanfeng Shengge calmly spoke. “If he was fine, I would admire him silently from afar, watching him climb up step by step and ascend go the peak. What a pity that the heavens are jealous of his talent, dooming him to such an early death.”
“But what happened has already happened. What can we do? I know he was unrivaled, exhibiting his talent clearly within the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy and standing at the peak of the City of Ancient Emperors. He killed three emperors when at the immortal king realm but he still died… We cannot let his death affect us, we still have to cultivate. Right now, you are acting this way and Yunxi shuts herself inside her room, not wanting to speak to anyone. How can I be at ease?” That maiden sighed.
Humans always say the term femme fatale but when a guy was too outstanding, wasn’t he also a source of trouble as well?
Both Nanfeng Yunxi and Nanfeng Shengge were maidens with excellent talent in the Southern Phoenix Clan. Regardless of talent or beauty, they are the cream of the crop. However, both of them were willing to admire that person in silence, watching him ascend to the peak. His death, actually caused such a great impact to them, filling their hearts with pain and sorrow.
“Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine.” Nanfeng Shengge smiled. She continued playing on the ancient zither but the music produced seemed to be lacking something.
“The first encounter between them was a mistake that could last an entire life.” That maiden sighed as she turned about and left.
…
After several months , more news circulated out. The Skymist Immortal Emperor and the Paragon Sword Emperor joined forces with the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as they once again arrived in the Evergreen Immortal Empire to attack it. However, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t return to the City of Ancient Emperors but was already on guard against them. He used the Ancient Evergreen Tree to envelop his empire protectively.
The White Emperor appeared and so did Matriarch Ji and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, catching the attackers by surprise. Many of the emperors brought here by the three attackers were killed and the three of them were injured. But even so, they managed to break out and flee.
The number of experts from the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect diminished even more. The situation in the eastern regions underwent a great change. Those powers who didn’t participate in the war, watched everything with greed in their eyes. As for the Taihua Immortal Emperor, he didn’t dare to head back to the City of Ancient Emperors and chose to remain behind to guard against any possible attacks.
There was also a major thing that occurred in the Myriad Devil Islands. Bai Qing, the judiciary priestess, received the title of grand priestess when she was merely at the immortal king realm. The devil lord of the Judiciary Devil Hall personally started to guide her on her cultivation.
Naturally, regardless of the commotion in the external world, conflicts were always the most intense within the City of Ancient Emperors because the peak elites were all gathered there. After Qin Wentian’s death, another batch of immortal kings rose up to the top. There were also some among them that broke through to the immortal emperor realm.
It was rumored that right now, the strongest person in the immortal king realm was Hua Taixu. But after he annihilated the sun gold race in the past, he seemed to have vanished completely.
Also, in the northern regions within the territories of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, there was a forbidden ground with two stone monuments guarding a city of ruins.
Within that region, a sloppy looking old man walked about in spirals with a focused look in his eyes. If one looked with their naked eyes, there was nothing in front of him. But if one was to observe via unleashing overwhelming amounts of immortal sense, they would faintly be able to sense a minute fluctuation that was extremely blurry. Even for this old man, he couldn’t sense the minute fluctuation clearly.
“How bizarre. Did he really die?” The sloppy old man murmured to himself.
“It shouldn’t be though. How strange.” He continued walking in spirals trying to understand something. His immortal sense was unleashed to the max but the fluctuation still felt extremely blurry to him.
After a long time, he sat down and closed his eyes. An instant later, his soul detached from his body as it moved towards the source of the minute fluctuation, in intense concentration. He wanted to see what was going on exactly. Was there really a thing in the immortal realms that could hide from him?
Finally, he seemed to have traced the source. Very swiftly, his soul returned to his body as his eyes abruptly opened, gleaming with a terrifying light. It felt as though he could see through everything within the heaven and earth.
“What a good fellow. What treasure is that?” A rare expression of excitement appeared on his face. Stretching his hand out, he sliced open the void as he began to pull something out from it. This thing… actually resembled a tiny astral-being!
