    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    Huang Wudi’s voice thundered out. Clearly, Qin Wentian has also heard it.


    Before this, Qin Wentian use words to insult Gu Xiao, causing Gu Xiao’s state of mind to waver and he was subsequently injured by the Stonebell Rampart.


    But now, Huang Wudi wanted to use a simr method to force Qin Wentian’s state of mind to waver. The most dazzling genius from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was naturally none other than the person who finished the 81 steps, establishing a saint-grade immortal-foundation, a royal prince who was also the royal brother of both Huang Wudi and Huang Youdi. It was rumored that he said Princess Qing`er wasn’t bad back then and this caused many to assume that Qing`er would be his woman. As for Qin Wentian, he seemed to have a special rtionship with Qing`er.


    In that case, by saying such words now, Huang Wudi undoubtedly wanted to cause Qin Wentian to end up in a situation with no reprieve.


    After all, Qin Wentian was someone who advanced 80 steps, and was far more aplishedpared to Gu Xiao. The people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire didn’t want to see Qin Wentian taking the 81st step, aplishing the same thing as the supreme genius of their Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire had done before.


    "If you say that Qing`er is your royal brother’s woman, does that mean that it is really true? What a joke. Can your royal brother do what Qin Wentian has done? Achieving 80 steps continuously?" Abruptly, a voice coldly rang out. "In that case if Qin Wentian says that the princesses of all your Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire are his women, doesn’t that mean your empire has to send all your princesses to him?"


    The eyes of everyone turned to the direction of the voice only to see a group of people exuding extraordinary auras standing together. Also, the auras radiating from them seemed somewhat simr to each other.


    "I will remember your words." Huang Wudi stared at the person who spoke. After that he turned his gaze back to Qin Wentian, whose aura was fluctuating wildly. There were also quite a few exceptional figures who managed the 80th step before. But all of them had failed when they attempted that final 81st step, causing cracks to appear on their immortal-foundations. Only that supreme genius, which was also his royal brother had managed to break past all restrictions and seeded on the 81st step, establishing a wless saint-grade immortal foundation.


    Wanting to take the final step, the difficulty involved might be even tougherpared to all the earlier 80 steps added together.


    He wanted Qin Wentian to be jolted down from the pressure.


    Qin Wentian naturally heard Huang Wudi’s words. The him right now was enduring an exceptionally heavy pressure boring down on him. The particles of his entire body seemed to be coated by that energy as he trembled unceasingly. At this moment if he was distracted by the words of Huang Wudi, there was no doubt Qin Wentian would definitely be heavily injured, maybe even to the extent where his immortal-foundation cracked.


    But would Qin Wentian be affected because of a single sentence? Would his feelings for Qing`er be disrupted simply because of that sentence from Huang Wudi?


    Qin Wentian had no idea who Huang Wudi’s royal brother was. But he knew who he was and he also knew who Qing`er was.


    Boundless energy circted within Qin Wentian’s body. At this instant, Qin Wentian seemed to be covered with an all-epassing power. After that, under the stunned gazes of the crowd, he actually didn’t stop to calm those violent energies but rather, chose to lift his foot and actually step forward instead.


    "This fellow..." The eyes of everyone widened as their heartbeats quickened. He actually wanted to proceed to the 81st step without rest?


    Has he gone mad?


    The overwhelming pressure sted out from the rampart, sweeping across everything, congregating into a violent storm that gushed into Qin Wentian’s body. The clouds above the academy all swirled around as increasing violent winds gusted. Even those geniuses who were extremely far away had no choice but to nce in the direction of the rampart now. Such a scene had only urred once before.


    Once in the past, a prince from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire named Huang Shatian, had caused such amotion that shook the entire academy. The wind howled and the clouds swirled, he refined his immortal-foundation to the saint grade and from that moment onwards, nobody didn’t know who Huang Shatian was.


    After that, there were several powerful geniuses who went to provoke Huang Shatian but there were no exceptions to their fate. All of them was brutally humiliated, as their confidence was all destroyed. After those battles, no one else dared to challenge Huang Shatian ever again.


    Up until today, the academy was shaking due to the samemotion. The movements of the clouds and intensity of the winds seemed so familiar.


    At the ce where the Stonebell Rampart was located, a supreme unparalleled aura started to seep out towards the entire academy. Qin Wentian’s feet,nded solidly onto the ground.


    That same unparalleled aura generated waves of pressure that bore down on Qin Wentian, sting frenziedly into him. Qin Wentian’s body trembled violently like a flickering candle me in the gust of a strong wind, seemingly about to be extinguished at any moment.


    The tyrannical attribute energies gushed into his body, even Qin Wentian’s saint-grade immortal foundation was violently shaking as loud sounds rang out, causing people to feel as though it was about to copse.


    However, the spectators only saw Qin Wentian closing his eyes in deep concentration, doing his best to resist the overwhelming pressure as they sought to destroy him.


    The resounding bell chimes continued endlessly, his body seemed as though it could no longer endure. He was now trying toprehend the attribute energies rushing into his body.


    Right now within his body, every part of it was filled with the sound of bell chimes. These bell chimes also rang out in his mind, bringing up memories of his youth, his path of cultivation from then until now, recalling the condensation of each and every one of his astral souls, the love between him and Qingcheng during their times in Chu, as well as everything Qing`er had done to protect him.


    These bell chimes all seemed to contain a hint of the great dao.


    At this instant, he no longer frenziedly resisted against that towering might and let nature take its course, allowing it to baptize every part of his body. Right now, his body was like an ancient bell, emitting chimes that merged together with that of the Stonebell Rampart, ringing out loud through heavens and earth.


    Everyone watched with nervousness. At this moment, there were still experts rushing over, wanting to see this scene with their eyes. To think that there was actually someone who could achieve the final step of this trial. Before this, there was only one who seeded. But right now, although this neer also stepped onto the 81st step, could he really steady himself?


    Under the onught of that violent storm of energy, Qin Wentian seemed so tiny and inconsequential. However, his conviction was exceptionally strong.


    He inclined his head and stared in the skies as a warm and gentle smile flickered in his eyes. Even the clouds seemed to take the form of Qing`er.


    The chimes in his body, melded perfectly with the chimes from the Stonebell Rampart, echoing out loud, drifting through space endlessly together with a loud and clear voice.


    "Qing`er, I missed you!"


    This voice apanied the bell chimes, drifting far away to every location in the academy. At this moment, even for those experts who have yet to reach the Stonebell Rampart could also clearly hear the bell chimes resounding out. They actually could also sense the depth of emotions and their hearts were actually also affected somewhat as they missed their families and loved ones.


    "What a strong intent."


    The hearts of everyone sighed. They were all extremely powerful cultivators. Yet this voice ringing out with the bell chimes could actually influence their hearts, manifesting an intense longing for the people they desired.


    That man hadpleted the 81 steps of the Stonebell Rampart, bing the second person in this sacred academy who has aplished such a feat.


    "Completing all 81 steps just to tell the daughter of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor that he longed for her!" The hearts of everyone sighed. How magnificent was this, much more impressive than those who embarked on the trial of the rampart simply to gain power. For the sake of saying a single sentence, he stepped into the stonebell rampart, heedless of the danger. In the entire sacred academy, it was almost impossible to find a second person like that.


    Right now in a certain location of the academy, there was a group of beautiful maidens together. All of them felt shock in their hearts when they felt themotions, thinking that some supreme genius was using the Stonebell Rampart as a tempering ground.


    But at this very moment, a voice drifted over.


    "Qing`er, I missed you!" This voice echoed out together with the bell chimes, reverberating in their hearts, causing everyone to feel a sense of warmth as they clearly sensed the longing in there.


    Several females all turned their gazes over to a cold-looking beauty standing in the distance. Their beautiful eyes all flickered with a strange light. There was actually someone using the Stonebell Rampart to express his longing and love for her.


    That ice-cold beauty was none other than Qing`er. The sound of the bell chimes seemed almost within reach, like the person expressing his longing for her was just right next to her. At this moment, the coldness on her face instantly melted. Within her beautiful eyes, a deep longing for him appeared as well.


    With a sh of her silhouette, Qing`er’s surroundings fluctuated with spatial energy as she disappeared, heading towards the direction of the Stonebell Rampart. How could she not know who that person was? How could she not feel the depths of emotions within the bell chimes?


    The other females behind her mutually exchanged nces before one of them smiled, "How romantic."


    After that, they to soared into the air, and headed towards the Stonebell Rampart.


    Qing`er heard it, Huang Shatian naturally also heard it. Everyone in this entire academy has heard that. The vast majority of them were rushing towards the rampart, wanting to see exactly which character managed toplete the 81 steps and was using the trial to announce his emotions of longing.


    In addition, the people of the academy naturally wouldn’t forget Huang Shatian’s existence. That man was someone who created the same miracle in the past, and people would also not forget about hisments on Qing`er. There were many who would believe that Qing`er would be his sooner orter and in that case, this neer who achieved the 81 steps and was using that to say that he missed Qing`er, wasn’t that considered a formal reply to Huang Shatian’s?


    Before the Stonebell Rampart, everyone was staring at Qin Wentian. Boundless energies from the heavens and earth rushed into the Stonebell Rampart as they transformed into supreme attribute energies which then infused Qin Wentian. A few momentster, a brilliant light radiated from Qin Wentian, circting around him as sound notes of the ancient bell chimes manifested as well, reverberating in the air together with his emotions and longing, continuing onward unceasingly.


    Such a love confession was truly enough to cause all females to feel jealousy.


    More and more people arrived at the Stonebell Rampart, staring at Qin Wentian’s silhouette. That young man was bathing in the resplendent light, the immortal glow from his immortal-foundation also grew increasingly brilliant.


    He, seeded in advancing to the 81st step, creating the same miracle as Huang Shatian had done, a miracle which no one could surpass!


    "Could it be that the final step can only be aplished if one has a saint-grade immortal foundation?" A thought surfaced in the minds of everyone. Huang Shatian established his saint-grade immortal-foundation here under the pressure and seeded. As for Qin Wentian, he originally already had a saint-grade immortal-foundation and clearly, he seeded as well.


    In addition, Qin Wentian’s sess was even more stunningpared to Huang Shatian. Hepleted all 81 steps in the span of a single day!


    These 81 steps were his longing for Qing`er and also represented his reply to the experts from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire!
