Qin Wentian then leaned back, admiring her beauty. Qing`er’s face had turned a lovely shade of red, causing one to feel like kissing her again when they saw this.
A pure and innocent goddess, a snow princess. Right now, when the blush of sunset painted her face, this beauty was simply soul-stirring. Nobody would be able to resist this.
Qin Wentian’s body slumped forward, leaning against Qing`er. His hand also cradled around her willowy waist, as he immersed himself in the sensation. As Qin Wentian embraced her, Qing`er’s body also involuntarily leaned towards Qin Wentian slightly. Her head then rested on his shoulder. Staring at such a flawless beauty a few inches away, Qin Wentian has never been in such a good mood before.
He simply quietly continued hugging Qing`er, enjoying this rare moment of tranquility.
The night was silent. Qin Wentian quietly cultivated, and as the astral light from the stars cascaded down on him, immortal light shimmered on his body, making it seem like crystal.
However at this moment, the immortal light from Qin Wentian’s body vanished as his eyes suddenly opened. He could sense a marvelous strand of energy boring down on him, which caused him to frown slightly.
There seemed to be a strange energy summoning him to somewhere.
His silhouette flashed as he soared up into the sky. Not too long after, he left the boundaries of Princess Changping’s residence and was speeding into the depths of the imperial palace.
That marvelous strand of energy still persisted, but Qin Wentian could feel that the distance towards the person summoning him, shouldn’t be too far away. After a short period of time, he came before a clear and crystalline starry lake. This starry lake reflected the boundless stars in the sky and was incomparably resplendent. Right now on the lake, a lanky figure could be seen quietly standing there. It felt like he has been standing there since time eternal and existed as one with the night.
This person shone with a faint silvery light, and had a hint of etherealism to his aura. Qin Wentian could sense that that strand of marvelous energy originated from this man.

Qin Wentian pays his respects to senior. Is senior the one who guided me to this place?
Qin Wentian bowed slightly to the figure. That figure then slowly turned over, as his gaze landed on Qin Wentian.
The instant Qin Wentian’s eyes met the man’s, he only felt he saw a stretch of endless starfield that was boundlessly vast. Within the depths of the old man’s eyes, Qin Wentian felt like he was within the starry space himself. He felt like he was just a being that existed within the eyes, in that field of starry sky.
This feeling lasted only for an instant, yet it felt like an eternity. When the old man retracted his gaze, Qin Wentian felt an unprecedented feeling of lightness, like a huge weight has been lifted off his shoulder.

How powerful.
Qin Wentian mused silently. The feeling this man give him, could only be described with the words ‘immeasurably deep.’ He has met many immortal kings before, and even some immortal emperors. He had no idea what cultivation level this old man before him was at. But one thing was for sure, this man was much much stronger compared to the Deepflame Immortal King or the Dream Demon King.
Within the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, most probably only a scarce few had a cultivation base of this level.

Nothing’s the matter. I just wanted to see you.
The voice in the air was filled with a hint of ethereality, feeling somewhat illusory. Qin Wentian was a little taken aback. Such a powerful character actually wanted to meet with him? What was this about.
He didn’t really understand. Also, given the cultivation level of this man. He only needed to sweep his immortal sense across the entire imperial palace and he would be able to ‘see’ Qin Wentian. But since this old man put it this way, it must mean that he wanted to meet with him personally.
Could this be Qing`er’s father? The lord of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor?

Senior…
Qin Wentian wanted to speak but he only saw the old man waving his hand. The old man than spoke in a light voice,
Cultivate well, don’t forget your original heart. You are someone whom a great destiny lies upon.


Go on.
Those ethereal eyes flashed with a smile. Qin Wentian didn’t expect that the old man would guide him here just to speak one sentence with him. This made him a little speechless. However, he could sense that this old man truly has no malicious intents towards him. It was actually a honor considering such a powerful expert wanted to meet with him. To people of that level, they most probably wouldn’t even glance at ordinary characters even if the ordinary characters were right in front of their eyes.

Junior will retreat then.
Qin Wentian spoke as he turned and departed, still feeling puzzled in his heart.
After he departed, the starry lake suddenly started churning, creating the crest and fall of violent waves. Within the lake, an image of Qin Wentian could be seen, shooting up a ray of starlight right up into the sky.
That ethereal figure raised his head. He then soared up into the sky and followed after the ray of light. The inverted image of Qin Wentian’s reflection transformed on the lake, which was actually reflected in the depths of his eyes. It felt like a game of chess and the chessboard grew brighter and brighter as the ray of light that represented Qin Wentian rose to its zenith before it exploded.

Cough cough…
The old man in white coughed as his body trembled violently. A drop of blood dripped from his eyes yet he didn’t seem to care.

Father!

From afar, a silhouette rushed over. This figure was extremely beautiful, she stared at the old man in white and spoke,
Father, are you injured?


It’s only natural to pay a price when prying into heaven’s secrets. What a pity, my cultivation base is still too shallow.
That old man in white shook his head lightly, he actually felt his own cultivation base was still insufficient. One could only wonder what other experts in the external world would think when they heard that.

Were you able to see anything?
The young woman asked in a low voice.

His path of cultivation will be filled with obstacles, yet his life is tougher than the heavens. His destiny belongs to the same level as the ancient emperors from long long ago. I cannot see through it in the slightest.
That old man spoke. He then stood with his hands clasped behind him before leaving this area, leaving behind the beautiful young woman who has fallen into a daze.
Life tougher than the heavens, a destiny equivalent to those ancient emperors of the past?
At least so far up until now, this was the only person with such an insanely high evaluation from her father.
…
The news of the incident of what happened in the imperial palace between the Skymist Immortal Empire and Evergreen Immortal Empire soon circulated and spread over the entire royal capital. Everyone was extremely shocked when they learned of it.
The Skymist Immortal Empire was tyrannical and domineering, and intended on demeaning the prestige of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. The Paragon Sword Sect also joined in and the pressure they exuded was so great that the descendants of nobility had no way to even breathe. Also, the adjudication rule which had not appeared since the last several tens of thousands of years ago, was also brought up.
What made people taken aback was that, the person who stood up for them was actually Qin Wentian, someone from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. He led a group of people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and completely dominated the Skymist Immortal Empire’s experts, showing no mercy as he crippled them all. They suffered no defeats and Qin Wentian even held Princess Qing`er’s hand in the face of all the peak powers when in the imperial palace, saying that Princess Qing`er was his woman, standing tall despite the threat of the Skymist Immortal Empire.
After that, more and more rumors about Qin Wentian surfaced. Somebody leaked the news that Qin Wentian was the personal disciple of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. He and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had a very deep grudge and once obtained the top ranker position in the hundred-year recruitment event held by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. However, he rejected the offer to take the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor as his master. It was at that moment that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord appeared, causing the thirteen prefectures to be divided.
According to the rumors, Qin Wentian’s talent was supremely outstanding. There was no one in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect who could stand equal to him if both were on the same level.
Gradually, more and more rumors regarding Qin Wentian started floating around. In addition to his relationship with Princess Qing`er, Qin Wentian instantly became a legendary character in the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
However, the impact of another piece of news soon suppressed Qin Wentian’s.
The Skymist Immortal Empire invited the other peak powers of the Eastern Regions for the adjudication. Since the Evergreen Immortal Empire refuse to honor the agreement made in the past, the Skymist Immortal Empire beseeched the other peak powers to give their judgement.
For the sake of fairness, the location of the adjudication will be held at the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
Very swiftly, it was known that the Violet Emperor, Paragon Sword Sect and Sky Demon Palace would support the Skymist Immortal Empire, judging that the Evergreen Immortal Empire should honor the agreement and marry its princesses over.
This news spread swiftly to the various peak powers of the Eastern Regions. The Taihua Immortal Dynasty and Beast God Sect didn’t express their stance but experts from the peak powers of the Eastern Regions were all making their way towards the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
This incident caused the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire to become extremely lively.
In the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Skymist Immortal Empire issued invites to the other powers to gather there for the adjudication. This move, was simply smacking the Evergreen Immortal Empire in the face.
Within the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, noises of dissent could be heard. Right now, it was already no longer the era of ancient emperors. When all the peak powers are going to war, there’s no singular power that was strong enough to unite the entire immortal realms. Since this is the case, who then is qualified enough to approve this so-called adjudication?
But regardless what the ruling of the adjudication is going to be, the Evergreen Immortal Empire was planning to ignore it.
The attitude of both parties was extremely clear to see. However, each ignored the other and the Skymist Immortal Empire proceeded to do what it wanted.
During these few days, Qin Wentian cultivated within the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, together with Qing`er. With regards to the adjudication raised by the Skymist Immortal Empire, he was incomparably infuriated yet he was also extremely worried in his heart. How would the Evergreen Immortal Empire be able to weather through this storm?
Today, in a certain location within the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Skymist Immortal Empire organized a large banquet and sent out invites to the various peak powers in the region. The subordinates of the Violet Emperor, members of the Paragon Sword Sect and people from the Sky Demon Palace all arrived. Clearly, it was because of the adjudication. These people all stood on one side but the space right in front of them which was left for the Evergreen Immortal Empire, was completely empty. No one from the Evergreen Immortal Empire came.

Seems like the Evergreen Immortal Empire knows they will lose for sure if they wait for the adjudication ruling and hence they didn’t want to show up. With so much support from all of you, even if the Evergreen Immortal Empire refused to appear, it’s impossible for them to hide away from the result of the ruling. According to the agreement, my Skymist Immortal Empire will select a good date and head into their imperial palace, directly bringing Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze away with us, heading back to the Skymist Immortal Empire.
Skymist Jiang swept his gaze over everyone here as he spoke.
This time, the adjudication will be performed by the various peak powers of the Eastern Regions in the immortal realm. If the Evergreen Immortal Empire refuses to accept the result of the ruling, it means that they are declaring war against all the other powers.
This voice thundered through the air, spreading across the entire royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire right into the imperial palace.
Right now, the atmosphere within the imperial palace was extremely tense. The Skymist Immortal Empire had actually contacted all the other peak powers to gather here, their methods so domineering that they were basically riding over the heads of everyone within the Evergreen Immortal Empire.
