    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    The Thousand-Jue Alliance Leader, died.


    He’d thought that since the Star River Association had sent an immortal foundation expert, the heavens were helping him and his Thousand-Jue Alliance had already escaped the cmity.


    But in the span of a single breath, Qin Wentian had killed the second-level immortal foundation expert, shattering his dreams right there and then.


    "You can’t escape the evilness of your own sins. What does heaven have to do with this?" Qin Wentian turned his gaze to the experts of the Thousand-Jue Alliance who betrayed them. Hemanded coldly, "Kill all traitors. Show no mercy."


    As the sound of his voice faded, he stretched out a finger that manifested a supreme ray of sword might. Everywhere he pointed, scintiting beams shot out and prated the throats of the Thousand-Jue Alliance experts. In a few short seconds, a major power had been annihted just like that.


    The moment they became traitors, the moment they raised their weapons against their brethren, they had already been destined to die.


    —BOOM BOOM BOOM!—


    The enemy instantly split their remaining forces in their haste to flee from the battlefield. Their hearts were shaking with disbelief and shock. They had just witnessed someone kill an immortal in front of their very eyes. Death was the only path remaining if they stayed here.


    Qin Wentian slowly turned and watched the fleeing experts, a cold light flickering in his eyes. "Do you think you can escape?"


    An instantter, boundless immortal might emanated from his immortal foundation, transforming into a wave of total annihtion light that swept tyrannically outwards. In just a moment, the light enveloped everyone who tried to flee. Their faces turned pale, and they felt themselves tremble from the depths of their soul.


    "Monarch, we acknowledge our mistakes." One person’s heart shook so badly that it felt like it was about to break into pieces. There was only iparable terror on his face now.


    Never in their wildest dreams did they imagine that Qin Wentian would choose to return at this time.


    And not only did he return, he returned after bing an immortal, reappearing in an overwhelming fashion. Now, he was so strong that he could y an immortal with a single strike. How high had his strength reached?


    Qin Wentian’s countenance was calm. Acknowledge their mistakes? Weren’t they pleased with themselves when that second-level immortal foundation expert had shown up earlier? Simply ridiculous.


    —BOOM!— The immortal might from his immortal foundation erupted forth in a tidal wave How powerful was Qin Wentian now? He had formed his immortal foundation from the congregation of six perfect immortal foundations. In just an instant, those attempting to flee simply fell to the ground, their hearts pulverized by thew of destruction. Qin Wentian didn’t even need to attack them individually.


    This was immortal might—a power that belonged only to immortals. When enveloped by such might, the method of killing was formless.


    And just like that, arge-scale battle had been wrapped up. From the start to the end, only Qin Wentian had attacked. The enemy forces didn’t even have the strength to resist before they were all annihted. Even that second-level immortal foundation expert couldn’t stand up to a single strike. This was the strength of Qin Wentian who had just returned.


    Fairy Qingmei, Luo Huan, Fan Le, and the rest all wore looks of immense shock on their faces. No words could describe how they felt. It waspletely inconceivable for them to imagine that the same Qin Wentian who had unified Grand Xia would turn out so domineeringly powerful the moment he returned. He had in immortals with the same ease as a flip of his palm. It had been more than twenty years since he’d left, yet he had aplished something no one in this particle world had ever done before.


    Waves of astonishment rocked their hearts, but, naturally, they were happy. He had returned, this fellow who could create miracles.


    Qin Wentian had also heard some good news. That immortal foundation expert had yet to find the Medicine Sovereign and Mo Qingcheng. This meant that they were still safe for the time being.


    At this moment, everyone’s eyes were all focused on Qin Wentian. When he saw this, he only shrugged and smiled, "I know I’m really good-looking, but there’s no need to stare at me like that, right?"


    "Brother, I’m almost afraid to reacquaint myself with you! Are you still my boss? You are simply too ferocious!" Fatty Fan Le’s fat trembled with emotion, and he looked like he wanted to rush over and embrace him in a hug. Goosebumps prickled Qin Wentian’s skin when he saw Fan Le’s wobbling fat, and he instantly said, "Damn fatty, get away from me!"


    "Heh heh, it looks like you’re still the same. Boss, you actually became an immortal. Please give me some guidance and let me experience the feeling of immortality too." Fan Le narrowed his eyes, a shameless expression appearing on his face.


    "For someone of your low talent, you might find hope after cultivating for a few thousand years." Qin Wentian joked as the others in the surroundingsughed. Although Qin Wentian had be an immortal, he didn’t put on any airs at all. He was still the same friend they knew in the past.


    "Wentian, to think that we used to fight side by side. But now, I can only stare at your back from afar," Ouyang Kuangsheng said wistfully as he looked at Qin Wentian.


    "Ouyang, this isn’t like you." Qin Wentian smiled. "Ouyang Kuangsheng is a character that exudes heroism. He’s buoyed by his immense self-confidence, and always sets high targets for himself."


    "Haha, I was shocked by your strength. It was simply too powerful. Is that the power of immortals?" Ouyang Kuangshengughed, feeling a trace of anticipation. With a single immortal, the Royal Sacred Sect had managed to dominate this world. Below immortals, all were mere mortals.


    "You look like you’re doing quite well for yourself. When are you bringing your senior sister to enjoy life in the immortal realms?" Luo Huan smiled, wrapping her arm around Qin Wentian’s shoulders, her beauty as alluring as before.


    "If Senior Sister wishes to go to the immortal realms, you cane with me after this matter in our particle world has been settled." Qin Wentian smiled.


    "Really?" Luo Huan’s beautiful eyes shed. The immortal realms...ever since the discovery that this world was just a particle world, all its inhabitants felt an immeasurable yearning for the boundless immortal realms.


    "Why would I dare lie to Senior Sister?" Qin Wentian smiled.


    "Okay, in the future your senior sister shall follow you around to enjoy life then." Luo Huanughed. There were so many familiar faces here. Fairy Qingmei also smiled as she asked, "Have you met Qing`er in the immortal realms yet?"


    "Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. "Qing`er is fine. She’s currently in seclusion and preparing to attempt her breakthrough into the immortal foundation realm. There shouldn’t be any problems."


    "I can rest my heart at ease then." Fairy Qingmei cast a deep nce at Qin Wentian. Since this fellow was so informed about Qing`er’s situation, the two of them must have spent quite some time together.


    "Senior Qingmei, do you wish to go to the immortal realms? You are Qing`er’s former master, and in the immortal realms, Qing`er is a royal princess of an immortal empire. Her status is supreme, and I believe that if Senior heads there, life should be quitefortable." Qin Wentian smiled.


    "It’s fine. With my little bit of cultivation, I would only throw the face of that littless." Fairy Qingmei shook her head. A royal princess of an immortal empire. If she, a master only at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm headed over there, she would only be despised by all.


    Qin Wentian didn’t say anything. He then turned to Bailu Yi. Her pure and innocent eyes stared at him, yet she didn’t say a word. This caused Qin Wentian to smile. "Why are you looking at me like that? Am I more handsome than before?"


    When she heard his joke, Bailu Yi’s reaction was the same as before. She nodded her head, and a slight blush pinkened her cheeks. The others broke out intoughter at seeing this.


    "Mu Feng and Yun Mengyi, both of you are already at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. Not bad," Qin Wentian remarked approvingly. Even after so many years, and even though Qin Wentian was now an immortal, the friendships he’d forged in the past would always be something he treasured.


    A long screech sounded out as arge vermillion bird descended from the air. Many people looked nervous at seeing it, except a few who looked at it with a thoughtful air.


    —bzz!— The vermillion bird transformed into a charming youngdy, who proceeded to stand behind Qin Wentian. Everyone’s eyes flickered in response as they stared at her.


    "This is Purgatory. Many of you should know who she is," Qin Wentian remarked.


    "Waaa, little Purgatory has transformed into such a beauty." Fan Le’s eyes shone with delight. Standing next to him, Xuan Xin immediately pinched his ears, causing Fan Le to hurriedly shout, "Naturally, my Xuan Xin is the most beautiful of them all!"


    "Hmph, lecher." Xuan Xin’s mouth twitched as the othersughed.


    "Do any of you have information regarding the whereabouts of the Medicine Sovereign and Qingcheng?" Qin Wentian suddenly asked. Everyone instantly turned quiet, and Fairy Qingmei spoke out, "I heard that Senior Medicine Sovereign is heavily injured, and the sect members from the Medicine Sovereign Valley have suffered a disastrous cmity. He brought Mo Qingcheng away with him, and they disappeared without a trace. The Star River Association ced extremely high importance on those two. They might even send out immortal foundation experts to deal with them, just like the one they sent to kill you earlier."


    "Mhm, I will let Purgatory bring you all to Chu Country. I’m feeling quite worried, so I’ll leave by myself first," said Qin Wentian. Everyone nodded in understanding.


    "Purgatory, there are a few flying-type treasures in here. Imbue them with your immortal might and bring everyone to Chu. I will make a move first." Qin Wentian handed over an interspatial ring to Purgatory. He simply had too many ordinary immortal-ranked treasures now.


    "Yes, master," Purgatory replied.


    "Take me with you. I wish to head to Chu as fast as possible to see the situation there," said Luo Huan.


    "Okay." Qin Wentian nodded. Pulling Luo Huan along, he stepped out and soared into the sky.


    ...


    Chu Country, Sky Harmony City, Wu King Manor.


    The Wu King Manor had been all the rage for a time, but it was now in dire straits after an outside party had taken control of it. Within the area surrounding the Wu King Manor, otherwise known as the Qin Residence, several experts kept a watchful eye on everything.


    Ever since the Star River Association had dominated this world, even the Wu King Manor had been affected by the resulting waves, despite its remote location in the Chu Country. As Qin Wentian’s old home, it was natural for them to monitor this ce. The other great ns of Sky Harmony City had started to throw stones at the fallen Qin Residence, and there were even some who helped build a branch of the Star River Association here. They did this to gain the association’s favor and had even sent their own n members to join the association. Hence, these ns instantly became the new major powers of Sky Harmony City.


    Within the Qin Residence, the sounds of a quarrel could be heard. A young man with several subordinates could be seen inside the Qin Residence, speaking with Qin Yao. "Qin Yao, you should know that I’ve admired you for a long time. Why must you constantly reject my advances?"


    "Just you? Are you even worthy?" Qin Yao stared at the young man with disdain.


    "Hehe, you are still as proud as before. Do you think the current Wu King Manor is still the same as it was in the past?" the young man said coldly. "I am now a disciple of the Star River Association. If you follow me, I will definitely never mistreat you. Let alone now, when the fate of your Qin Residence is under the control of my Star River Association. Just follow me, and if the upper brass gives the order to destroy this ce, I will intercede and beg for mercy for you."


    "Scram!" Qin Yao spat coldly.


    The young man’s expression darkened as he stared at Qin Yao. "Refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Qin Yao, just you wait. I will definitely make you my woman one day. And at that time, I shall slowly abuse and enjoy you."


    After speaking, the young man started tough uproariously. He even nced at the maid beside Qin Yao as he continued, "Your maid might be a little ugly, but her skin is really smooth, and she has a good figure. If I get the opportunity, I wouldn’t mind enjoying you both at the same time."


    "You..." Qin Yao’s eyes shed with killing intent as she took a step forward. The young man retreated while smiling coldly. "Just wait for the day when I can pamper you with my love."


    After speaking, he flicked his sleeves and led his men away. The maid behind her gently pulled on her arm. Qin Yao turned her head to nce at her. This maid had perfect skin and a wless figure. Her demeanor could be considered perfect as well, and her only w was her looks—she was so ugly that people tended to disregard her existence.


    "He dared to insult you. I will definitely kill him for sure," Qin Yao said, her tone cial.


    "Forget it, let’s not draw attention to ourselves." The maid’s voice was light and melodious and was iparably soul-stirring.


    "Mhm, I will endure it for now. However, this ce is getting more and more dangerous." Qin Yao frowned, feeling worried in her heart. As the saying goes, the most dangerous ce is none other than the safest one, but everything would quickly be exposed if the Star River Association were to send out powerful experts to topple the Qin Residence.
