Chapter 1177

: Return
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
At the 36th year mark of the sacred academy’s opening, there were too many things happening in the four academies. Numerous conflicts occured within each and every one of the academies, there were also geniuses who formed lasting friendships and eternal hatreds. The purpose of the conflicts was either because of grudges, or the geniuses wanted to raise to the peak and become a unique character unmatched by everyone, entering the Supreme Might Rankings and enter the second-layer space of the Sky Connecting Realm.
Because only then, would they have a chance to evolve to an ancient emperor character if that prophecy made by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was true.
Amidst the numerous conflicts, Qin Wentian’s conflict with the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was only one of many, yet it was one that caused the largest degree of commotion. After all, this included many peak powers of the immortal realms – the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, the Askheart Temple, the Skymist Immortal Empire, the Paragon Sword Sect, the Evergreen Immortal Empire, Matriarch Ji’s Sect and the Violet Emperor Sect. In addition to that, even the illustrious Huang Shatian was involved, the commotion caused naturally wouldn’t be small-scaled. Also, there was the fact that the fifth-level immortal-foundation genius Qin Wentian was also an unforgettable character.
Naturally, the people of this sacred academy understood that there are still many supreme characters from the other academies yet to take the trial of the Stonebell Rampart. If not, most probably the number of people who completed the trial wouldn’t only be limited to Qin Wentian and Huang Shatian.
And as expected, just as the waves of commotion of that large-scale battle had caused spread, more and more experts from the other academies came over here. There was also another one supreme genius who succeeded in completing the 81 steps, refining his immortal-foundation into a saint-grade one.
After some time, yet another supreme genius accomplished that, establishing a saint-grade immortal foundation. The Stonebell Rampart felt like it was created specially to be the last step for these supreme geniuses to upgrade their immortal-foundation. This caused the fame of the Stonebell Rampart to spread, attracting even more experts over to attempt it. But no matter what, there was no one who could accomplish what Qin Wentian did, finishing all 81 steps within the span of a single day.
No one else could break the record.
Hence, Qin Wentian’s name would frequently be mentioned around the area of the Stonebell Rampart. Qing`er was still at where she was, not leaving that place for even half a step. She sat on a stone not far from the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock with her eyes closed, ignoring everything happening in the external world. It felt like she didn’t want to concern herself with any other things and only wanted to wait silently for him to return.
He had promised her. Hence, he would definitely be here for sure.
Seeing the depth of affection Princess Qing`er had for him, this caused many to sigh in their hearts. The tyrannical Nine-Emperors Immortal Empires and that domineering Huang Shatian had split up this pair of lovebirds, causing Qin Wentian’s death due to the pursuit, resulting in this beautiful maiden being so heartbroken.
Before the Sky Connecting Immortal Rock, several people could be seen around there. Among them was a beautiful maiden with endless charm. She stared at the vanished image on the Supreme Might Rankings engraved on the immortal rock as her brows furrowed tightly.

Maybe I was wrong back then.
The female murmured in a low voice.

My royal sister would actually acknowledge that she is wrong?
A young man beside her teased.

I thought he would just be humiliated by the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and the matter of him with that lascivious monk would be resolved. Everything that happened after I led him here has completely exceeded my imagination. Even that lascivious monk Bujie has also caused me to be surprised. I truly feel regret at such a supreme character dying in the hands of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.


Even if there was no you in the picture, he would encounter those from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire sooner or later. Some things, there is no way to avoid them. What do you intend to do about that monk Bujie?


Since things have reached such a state and Reverend Buyu also made Bujie apologize, let’s just forget about it.
That beautiful princess sighed lightly. At this moment, several gazes of coldness was directed at her. She frowned and looked over there, only to see numerous maidens with beauty not inferior to her icily staring at her.

The Holy Successor and the holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan.
Her elder brother spoke in a low voice causing a strange expression to appear on her face.
That fellow’s luck with the ladies is truly excellent. So many beautiful maidens are saddened because of his death.


My master wouldn’t die.
A female clad in fiery red robes spoke in a cold voice. It was none other than Purgatory.

Won’t he?
The prince from the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire shook his head.

Naturally he won’t. Back then in the City of Ancient Emperors, the situation he was in was even more difficult to resolve than now. Both Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie wanted his life but he ultimately still had the last laugh. During the time at the God Hand Mountain Manor, despite the joint forces of experts from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and the Violet Emperor Sect, they still failed to take his life. He even managed to comprehend God’s Hand. Right now, how can some mere experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire manage to kill him?
Nanfeng Yunxi decisively spoke. She deeply believed the fact that Qin Wentian didn’t die.

Didn’t die? Humans are really good at consoling themselves.
A group of figures walked over. The aura of these experts was terrifying, causing the expressions of Nanfeng Yunxi and her group of people to turn solemn. These newcomers were none other than experts from the White Tiger Race and the person was spoke was the white tiger king, White-eye. Back then, he and Huang Wudi both pursued Qin Wentian in the Sky Connecting Realm. When Qin Wentian was ‘defeated’ in his hands, White-eye found his confidence.

There’s no way the Supreme Might Rankings would be wrong. Since he vanished, he is surely dead.
White-eye coldly continued.

That’s right Nanfeng Yunxi. You are fond of Qin Wentian right? Don’t worry, the demons of my White Tiger Race are all extremely muscular, we can definitely allow you to indulge in enjoyment.
A white tiger laughed.
Nanfeng Yunxi had an expression of loathing on her face. Beside her, a holy maiden character directly spoke in a tone of ice,
Disgusting vile creatures.


Disgusting?
White-eye’s eyes gleamed evily as he coldly laughed.

The maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan seem to hold your White Tiger Race in disdain.
A voice intent to incite the fury of the white tigers rang out. These words were actually spoken by a human cultivator of the Violet Emperor Sect.

When they are pregnant with our tiger cubs, they wouldn’t think this way again.
A white tiger laughed thunderously.

You all dare to do this? I heard that Qin Wentian back then barbequed and feasted on white tiger meat in front of all of your faces. No wonder you all would be filled with so much hatred. However, there’s not only Nanfeng Yunxi and the holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan here, there’s still Qin Wentian’s widow. Princess Qing`er is also an absolute beauty, don’t you all want to ‘take good care’ of her?
An expert from the Violet Emperor Sect spoke, his words causing the white tigers to glance at Qing`er as the eyes of many white tigers gleamed with an evil light.

Despicable fellow.
The princess of the Shooting Sun Immortal Empire coldly spat when she saw this scene, referring to the expert of the Violet Emperor Sect.

You humans only know how to use such dirty and despicable methods. You all don’t dare to do it and want us to get our hands dirty for you?
White-eye rudely shot back. Although he hated Qin Wentian immensely, he wasn’t foolish. The expert from the Violet Emperor Sect was intentionally using words wanting to anger them, his words designed to tear apart the face and pride of the White Tiger Race.

We don’t dare to? It’s merely that our strength here isn’t enough.
That expert from the Violet Emperor Sect laughed.
Princess Qing`er, the Skymist Immortal Empire has already proposed a marriage in the sacred academy yet you still went to have an improper relationship with Qin Wentian. However since Qin Wentian has already died now, you are already free from his curse, are you preparing to enter the Skymist Immortal Empire or maybe are you planning to seduce Huang Shatian? Although Huang Shatian after that didn’t express any romantic interest in you, if you took the initiative and jumped into his embrace, there might still be a chance.


The Violet Emperor is so great at teaching that he managed to bring up a bunch of bastards like you all? Scram!
Qing`er still had her eyes closed, as her fellow disciples couldn’t help but to coldly speak out. Huang Shatian really did not express any romantic interest in Qing`er after that battle. Since Qin Wentian has died, there was no need for him to waste time on all these people. He would rather spend his time cultivating in the sacred academy. Cultivation was placed on too high a pedestal in his heart and he loathed to waste his time on other things.
The faces of those from the Violet Emperor Sect turned incomparably ugly. These disciples of Matriarch Ji weren’t polite at all.

My senior brother might find you dirty but I don’t have any of such inhibitions. Do you want to warm my bed for me?
A voice rang out. The people only saw Huang Youdi walking over with a sharp look in his eyes. Those years ago, the impact to his dao heart was exceedingly severe after that humiliating loss to Qin Wentian. But now, he has mostly recovered and wanted revenge for the humiliation Qin Wentian gave him.
Although Qing`er had her eyes closed, she emanated an extremely cold intent when she heard those words. However, she still didn’t move away. She only had one purpose – to wait for Qin Wentian to appear again.

I’m talking to you!
Huang Youdi shouted loudly, his terrifying sound waves converged into a tyrannical wave that crashed over everything. He was Huang Youdi, a match for everyone underneath the heavens.

This retard. Seems like he wasn’t abused badly enough by senior brother those years ago, he actually still has the face to appear here.
Jun Mengchen who was sitting far away coldly spoke. Huang Youdi turned his attention over, as killing intent flashed in his eyes. He then stepped out, every single one of his steps caused the earth to tremble. He stared at Jun Mengchen and coldly laughed,
I will make you regret ever being born in this world.


I really want to see how you would make me regret.
Jun Mengchen stood up as an aura of the fifth-level gushed out ferociously, causing the gusts of wind in the area to intensify as the sky changed color.

So you have broken through. No wonder you dare to be so arrogant in front of me.
Huang Youdi floated up into the skies as emperor light gushed forth, wanting to tear apart everything. Jun Mengchen roared in rage as the diagram of a world appeared behind his back. He punched out with a fist, causing a supreme and tyrannical energy to gush forth from the world diagram, lending its power to him. The energy of his palm strike transformed into an emperorking chariot that slammed into the manifestation of a human emperor by Huang Youdi, the impact causing both to shatter into pieces.

Boom!
Huang Youdi stepped out again, his might towering up into the skies. However at this moment, he was suddenly aware of a pair of eyes. These eyes belonged to another expert and that expert seemed to have been quietly standing there all along. His eyes seemed to contain cycles of samsara and as Huang Youdi attacked, the crowd discovered to their shock that his attack was actually aimed at a completely wrong direction where there’s nothing there. Such a mistake was inevitably fatal when two geniuses were in a duel.

Be careful!
A loud voice rang out in warning. Jun Mengchen’s attack then landed at this moment. Huang Youdi roared deafeningly and with an explosive bang, his body was flung through the air. Several figures then landed before Huang Youdi protectively. Lightning might crackled maliciously around one of the experts as he slashed out a fearsome attack with a spinning kick, wanting to continue attacking Jun Mengchen.

Who are you?
Huang Youdi steadied himself, staring at a handsome young man that appeared beside Jun Mengchen.

His name is Hua Taixu, he is extremely proficient in the illusory arts. Beware of his eyes, don’t look into them.
Someone warned.

Courting death.
Huang Youdi coldly snorted.

After the defeat that year, your state of heart has no way to return to what it was. Your conviction has already wavered.
Hua Taixu’s voice was extremely calm, yet he hit the nail on the mark, causing the Huang Youdi’s expression to turn incomparably unsightly to behold.

HAHAHA, so what if it is true? After killing you guys and capturing all the beauties, I will still be Huang Youdi. Sadly Qin Wentian has already died or I would definitely make him watch personally how I kill and torture his comrades and how I play with his woman.
Huang Youdi laughed maniacally, exuding a supreme emperor might unexcelled in the world.

You won’t be able to see it.

From the air, a voice of ice suddenly drifted over, causing the hearts of everyone to tremble. Several experts then respectively inclined their heads and stared in the direction of the voice. A moment later, all of their gazes froze there, seemingly in incredulous disbelief!
