Chapter 1999 - Changing Era

After Qin Wentian returned to the Heaven Vault, news from the various regions began to circulate over. The Prison God Clan and the others who participated in the attack of the Heaven Vault have all disappeared.

If in the past they felt a trace of hope in the Thunder Clan, after the Thunder Clan was destroyed, they instantly regained clarity of mind. Undoubtedly if they fought Qin Wentian, he would make them vanish from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

And when news about this spread, the people of the world finally understood that the era of hegemonic powers in the eight regions has already become history.

An era has concluded.

In the previous era, experts from the eight regions competed against each other, vying for supremacy. The territories of each region were also split between the hegemonic powers of the respective regions. They even gained control of the lower worlds other than the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. Sadly, all of this came to an end as the Heaven Vault rose in strength.

After that, more rumors rang out. Those powers that vanished had chosen to follow Yue Changkong for the sake of evading Qin Wentian’s pursuit. Yue Changkong might be an individual who had merged the powers of two godkings together. In this new era, he would surely be a strong contender for supremacy and he would only grow stronger and stronger.

As this news spread, everyone in the world claimed that the old era has ended. The current era was that the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were now divided into three portions.

The strength of Heaven Vault and Qin Heavenly Divine Sect helmed by Qin Yuanfeng and Qin Wentian rose up due to their own strengths. This was because the Heaven Vault had an innately excellent condition for cultivation, it was easy to nurture an army of deities. Even now, everyone in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms yearned for that place.

Other than the deities of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect being powerful, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect also had a good relationship with the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Although the sacred academy rarely interfered in external matters, the reclusive Headmaster Ye of the sacred academy wasn’t an existence that could be neglected.

Also lastly, Qin Wentian had the inheritance of the Grim Reaper.

All these factors caused the various fleeing hegemonic powers to submit to Yue Changkong. Hence, it can be said that the Heaven Vault was the cause of the previous era ending.

The second power naturally belonged to Yue Changkong. He who had merged the powers of two godkings, was extremely mysterious and evil. With the addition of the hegemonic powers who had submitted to him, there’s no doubt that they have the strength to threaten the Heaven Vault.

The last power was undoubtedly the western world. They have been established for countless years and had always been the one governing the territories there which have always been of the Buddhist Sect. Their position has never wavered before. Among them, there were countless buddha lords and many more sacred buddhas at the heavenly level. What made everyone even more terrified was that there were rumors saying that the godking who ruled the Universe Region, the lord of the western paradise hasn’t died yet. He had survived through all these years.

The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were now split into three main factions and once again achieved a subtle balance. This caused the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to enter yet another period of calmness. During this period, many new people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms rose up but there were also people who fell.

And given the current situation of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, news of many incidents regarding Qin Wentian were also excavated. The history of his growth was gradually made known to the people of the world.

Once, who could have guessed that a certain genius in the Mystic Region who rose to fame by participating the convention of the myriad realms would put an end to the era and create a new history.

At that time, Qin Wentian was just a young man with a slightly more outstanding talent, with the title of a hegemonic-level world overlord who was the Realmlord of the Qingcheng Realm. If one traced his history even further back, everyone would know that he started out as an inconsequential immortal and had even became a bandit before. He then worked under the Lifire Palace Lord and slowly climbed upwards, replacing the Lifire Palace Lord and eventually killing the Lifelong Realmlord, slowly growing until today.

Each legendary character had their period of struggling. At that point of time, no one knew about them but after all the trials and tribulations they experienced, there wouldn’t be anyone in the world not knowing their names.

Qin Wentian was precisely a legend of this era.

Right now, large amounts of experts in the Qingcheng Realm would explore the world outside. For example, they would go to the Boundless Sea Region in the Heaven Region, and to other places that has a connection with Qin Wentian. Everyday, stories about Qin Wentian’s rise were circulated in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The young people of the Qingcheng Realm were all filled with inspiration, thinking about how grand it would be if they could rise up and establish their own legend. However, how could it be so easy to be a legend among legends like Qin Wentian?

Qin Wentian himself had no idea about this. Although he didn’t return to the Qingcheng Realm, he has already become a mental pillar there and was the source of inspiration for the younger generation. They were all tracing his path, like moths flying into flames, chasing the pinnacle of their own paths.

Time flowed by, the tripartite situation in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was something no one could change. Even for those extraordinary characters who recently rose up, or even recent heavenly deities, they were not qualified to set up a new power. The people of the world were very clear that the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms now was an era that belonged to the three major factions. In addition, the tranquil situation now was like the calm before the storm. The three strongest factions in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would ultimately clash with each other. The victor might become the ultimate king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Right now, many people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were already discussing who the future king would be.

Leaving aside new powers that rose up, even for previous hegemonic powers like the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavenly Mystical Palace in the Heaven Region, both of them lost the qualifications to be part of the winning faction. They could only be spectators. However, because they had never offended any of the powers involved before, they were still able to survive untouched in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

They had once formed an alliance with Qin Wentian. Although they eventually quit that alliance, Qin Wentian wasn’t someone who repaid kindness with enmity. The two hegemonic powers could be considered as having helped him before and even after they left, they had never acted against the Heaven Vault. Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t move against them. In addition, they were also located in the Heaven Region, in the same region as the Heaven Vault. Even if Yue Changkong and the western paradise wanted to make a move against them, it wouldn’t be that easy.

At this moment, in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect outside the Heaven Vault, two figures could be seen flying over, a male and a female. Their auras were transcendent, the female was exceptionally beautiful. These two were none other than the Qiankun Sect Leader and the Nine Heavens Mystical Maidens.

The two of them inclined their heads and stared at everything before them. Right now, the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect has expanded compared to before, it looked incomparably majestic, with the Heaven Vault above them. This place is already considered a holy ground in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Those who came to pay homage was many times more in numbers compared to what the Qiankun Sect Leader and Mystical Maiden had imagined.

‘There are so many wondrous changes in the world. Have you ever thought that this place would stand at the peak of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms back then and have a chance to become the ultimate king?” The Qiankun Sect Leader sighed with emotions. The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden stared ahead. She didn’t say anything but she also didn’t expect this. The changes during these years in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was simply too fast. The entire era was changing.

“Junior pays my respects to Qiankun Sect Leader and Fairy Nine Heavvevns.” At this moment, a person walked out from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, bowing to them. The statuses of the two of them were transcendent and they had a close relationship with Qin Wentian. Some of those in the divine sect would naturally recognize them.

“Mhm, we came here to visit Sect Leader Qin.” The Qiankun Sect Leader nodded.

“Sect Leader Qin should still be cultivating in the Heaven Vault. Sir, why don’t you enter the divine sect to rest first? I will immediately report this up the chain of command and spread the news. Could I trouble the two of you to wait a little for now?” That person spoke. The Qiankun Sect Leader and the Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden started before they nodded their heads lightly, silently sighing with emotions.

Right now, they actually have to wait despite their identities if they wanted to meet with Qin Wentian? If it was in the past, when they wanted to meet with someone, who would dare to delay?

But now, things were different. They also understood and accepted this change.

Qin Wentian’s current status was no longer the same as the past. Even if he didn’t want to meet them, what could they do? Qin Wentian does have such qualifications indeed. After all, they could be considered to have betrayed the alliance.

“Sect Leader, Fairy, please.” That person politely spoke, inviting the two of them into the divine sect. After the two of them entered, someone beside the person who spoke to them earlier said, “Did you discover that you were actually very calm even when facing the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden?”

“Huh?” That person started. After that, he drew in a deep breath while also feeling disbelief in his heart. That was the Qiankun Sect Leader and the number one beauty in the nine heavens! If in the past, he would surely tremble with trepidation if he came face to face with just a hegemonic-level overlord. How incredible this was? This, was the self-confidence that had been nurtured into the hearts of members from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.

“Us who are members of the divine sect need not look up to anyone. As long as we work hard in cultivation and are loyal to our sect, we would also be able to gain the chance to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation in the future. After we enter, we would also have the chance to become heavenly deities.” His eyes glanced up at the Heaven Vault as his heart was filled with a burning desire.

After the Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden entered the sect, a member with a higher status welcomed them. After they waited for a little more, Qi Yu and Jun Mengchen appeared.

“Sect Leader and Fairy came here to look for Saint Lord, I wonder if there’s anything the matter?” Qi Yu stared at them and calmly spoke. Jun Mengchen stood with his arms crossed before his chest. Upon noting their attitudes, the gaze of the Qiankun Sect Leader froze slightly. Was this their transformation? Right now, the auras from the two of them were no longer inferior to his own. They could definitely speak on the same level as him.

“We wish to meet with Qin Wentian to discuss some things.” The Qiankun Sect Leader spoke.

Qi Yu didn’t say anything. Jun Mengchen’s eyes flashed as he calmly spoke, “My senior brother is extremely busy and he is still in cultivation. If there’s no major issue, you can just speak with us.”

Back then when the two of them quit the alliance, Jun Mengchen felt extremely dissatisfied and unhappy with their behavior. Since everyone was in an alliance, they should naturally advance and retreat together. Yet the two of them actually cowered due to the western world. Hence, his tone right now wasn’t polite at all.

The Qiankun Sect Leader felt somewhat unhappy after hearing Jun Mengchen’s words. However, he didn’t say anything. In addition, he could faintly sense that be it in terms of aura or strength, this young man was in no way inferior to him. He also heard of the incident where Jun Mengchen fought alone against the Che Clan Leader back in the battle within the Heaven Vault in the past. Jun Mengchen was undoubtedly very powerful. And now, after so much time has passed, Jun Mengchen would only grow more powerful considering that there are minor realms where the flow of time are different inside the Heaven Vault.

Although he is a junior in terms of age, but in the cultivation world, age was never an issue. Even if Jun Mengchen was impoilite, there was really nothing he could say.

“Mengchen, how can you speak like this to the Qiankun Sect leader?” At this moment, a voice rang out from within the Vault. This voice belonged to Qin Wentian.

“Senior brother.” Jun Mengchen lifted his head and called out. His tone was still filled with some unhappiness. But since his senior brother has spoken, he didn’t continue to say anything.

“Sect Leader and Fairy came to my Heaven Vault to discuss things? Mengchen is still young, I hope the two seniors wouldn’t blame him.” Qin Wentian’s voice rang out. The Qiankun Sect Leader and Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden nodded their heads respectively. But even if Qin Wentian really didn’t apologize, they wouldn’t be able to say anything either.
