Chapter 1355: Exit


    Trantor: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire


    When Qin Wentian awoke, there were many streams of information in his mind, as well as the words spoken by that undying freak. Even though he was unconscious, the voice of that old freak was still branded into his mind. Qin Wentian could only curse at this undying old freak silently in his heart.


    "Undying Scripture, Death Scripture? What the shit are those?" Qin Wentian silently mumbled. When he thought back to those zombie monsters, he suddenly was seized by a sudden thought. Could it be that the zombies were created by the scriptures? How can this be? ording to logic, dead people should stay dead, it was impossible for them to return to life. Those zombies were walking corpses, they had no hints of intelligence at all.


    "Soul...that undying old freak was actually able to cause my soul to be separated from my body, and even made it return." Qin Wentian thought back to his earlier experience as cold sweat dripped down his back. He felt chills all over his body, even though the ordeal was over, he still felt that the experience was extremely frightening. If the undying freak wanted his life, he would truly be able to take it with ease. The strength of that person had already far surpassed Qin Wentian’s scope of understanding.


    Given his current cultivation level, even immortal emperors wouldn’t be able to kill him silently. They had to release theirw energy in order to do so. Even for peak-level immortal emperors, if they wanted to kill immortal kings, they still had to use thews of the Great Dao. But this undying freak could make his soul leave and return with a single shout. It was simply too terrifying.


    If Qin Wentian had to pick a word to describe that old man, the word would definitely be ’unfathomable.’


    Qin Wentian closed his eyes as he silently contemted over the information of the Undying Scripture. Very swiftly, he soon learned what sort of art the Undying Scripture was. It was a cultivation art to train one’s soul.


    Although he had nevere into contact with any soul cultivation techniques before, he knew that this Undying Scripture was a terrifying supreme ultimate-level soul cultivation art.


    There’s no one in the world who cannot die, regardless of body or soul, as long as they existed, they can die too. It was just that the fearsomeness of the Undying Scripture was with regards to this. When one cultivates the Undying Scripture to its extreme, one would be able to achieve a state where one’s soul could survive even after their body perished. In fact, there were also other terrifying abilities like allowing the soul to gradually reform their body. It was simply too tyrannical to contemte.


    Naturally, the usage of the Undying Scripture wasn’t limited to this. It could be said that it was a perfect soul cultivation art.


    "Why do I feel that that old undying monster already had this n when he allowed me to enter the ancient city right from the start?" Qin Wentian mumbled. "If it wasn’t for the old undying freak intentionally acting so, how could he survived till now?"


    "Maybe my talent is too outstanding, unrivalled in the heavens and earth and he admires me. He isn’t able to go out in the world and hopes to find a valued sessor and hence, ced his hopes all on me?" Qin Wentian shamelessly spected, discovering that the possibility of such a thing was truly very high. He couldn’t even help himself as he nodded sagely, "It must be so. After all, people like me with peak-level talents are truly too rare. The old bastard most probably never met any before."


    "Mhm, luckily, he didn’t say that I have to join the power he is from and didn’t ept me as a disciple. Most probably, he knows he isn’t qualified enough to be my master and this can’t be considered as me breaking the rules of the Heavenly Talisman Realm. In the future after I grow stronger, I wille back to look for him to settle this debt." Qin Wentian continued to shamelessly specte. If the undying freak knew what he was thinking about, one could only wonder if he would instantly cause Qin Wentian’s soul to be separated from his body again.


    Lowering his head and ncing at the divine rod on the ground, panic arose in Qin Wentian’s heart. The experience earlier was simply too miserable, he still had fear in his heart. Seems like he had to do his best to cultivate the Undying Scripture. If not, when he tries to hold the rod again in the future, he didn’t know if he could endure that terrible feeling of his soul being under attack or not.


    When he thought of this, Qin Wentian closed his eyes and quieted his mind, beginning to cultivate the Undying Scripture, starting from the basics to build up his foundation.


    Because he had nevere into contact with soul cultivation techniques before, his starting speed was extremely slow. Before this, he couldn’t even feel the existence of his soul, and didn’t pay any attention to the connection between the body and soul. That time when he held the divine rod, it was the first time he felt the existence of his soul.


    The soul was something extremely weak which existed within the body. If it left the body, it would be destroyed easily. Once the soul was destroyed, the body would only be an empty shell. There was no meaning of living on any longer.


    Luckily with that painful experience, Qin Wentian managed to sense the existence of his soul. In that case, the first step wouldn’t be too difficult. Once he knew of the soul’s existence, he would be able to start training it up.


    Qin Wentian once again entered into a state where hepletely forgot about everything. He didn’t know the flow of time and in the past, he also didn’t expect that he would continue to cultivate after reaching the immortal king realm, training his soul after forming hisw domain. His recent experiences could be said to be extremely bizarre.


    However, the old monster did promise him that as long as he could hold the divine rod sessfully, he would allow him to exit. Today, finally came. He should be able to leave this ce soon.


    Over ten years passed by in the blink of an eye. He didn’t know the situation of the external world and could only hope that nothing major ured. After all, war among peak powers would take an extremely long time. Before an extreme conflict urred, the decisive war wouldn’t break out so fast. Back then, the war urred only because the Skymist Immortal Empire felt that they would win for sure. But after the adjudication battle, none of the powers would dare to act recklessly.


    This time around, he spent the longest amount of time for his cultivation in a single sitting. Even breaking through to immortal king didn’t take so long as those attribute energies all had amon source. However, he was like a nk piece of paper when it came to cultivating the soul. This was something of extreme difficulty, The abilities granted by this Undying Scripture could be used toplement the other unique ability he obtained from his 7th astral soul. He had to do his best toprehend them as they would definitely be of great use to him in the future.


    As he cultivated on, Qin Wentian’s soul energy gradually grew stronger and stronger. Now, he could finally cause his soul to be separated from his body by his own will. His soul could even turn corporeal, shining with a dazzling light. This was simply shocking. The difference in the strength of his soul was simply many many times stronger whenpared to the him before he started cultivating the Undying Scripture.


    Finally during one day, after many repeated failures, he finally held the divine rod and grabbed on to it tightly. Although his soul was trembling badly, right now, he could already weaken the influence on his soul to a very great extent.


    The figure of the old undying freak appeared. He stared at Qin Wentian and shook his head, "You actually needed such a long period of time, how weak. You are too shitty. If I knew earlier, I would definitely have given you a time limit."


    Qin Wentian was boiling every time he nced at the undying freak, his heart filled was with hatred.


    "What? You unhappy?" The voice of that undying freak turned cold. Instantly, Qin Wentian felt the trembling of his soul increase in intensity. "How would junior dare to?"


    "Ai, it’s good that you know you don’t dare to. After cultivating here, your improvements aren’t too bad and it’s all thanks to me. I don’t really require you to do any grand deeds to repay this debt of gratitude. You can just apany me for about eight to ten years, we can chat everyday before you exit this ce." The words of this old man instantly caused Qin Wentian to roll his eyes. He almost coughed out white froth from his mouth and fainted right there and then.


    "This, this..." Qin Wentian felt like dying. Apanying this old freak for eight to ten years? Wouldn’t he be driven mad?


    However, if this old freak really wanted to do this, there wasn’t any way Qin Wentian could say no.


    "You don’t like to apany me?" The old undying freak tidied his hair, revealing an aged countenance as he stared at Qin Wentian. He then continued, "Do you know how many people want to meet me, but I refused all of them? In these countless years, the only people I met was you and that little doll. You are actually unwilling to interact with me? If you apany me for another eight to ten years, your improvements with regards to your cultivation would be vaster than before."


    Qin Wentian’s eyes shed, as his heart wavered. If his strength could really be boosted greatly, he didn’t mind considering this.


    "Stop thinking about it. Even if you want to now, I wouldn’t want you. Just scram, just scram." That old undying freak waved his hands and Qin Wentian instantly felt an energy enveloping him, whisking him through space with a speed so fast that it was inconceivable.


    "BOOM!" Qin Wentian was directly mmed onto the ground as a huge crater appeared. Inside the crater, he cursed out in a low voice before he leapt out of it. A momentter, his entire being froze.


    "This..."


    Qin Wentian nced at the surroundings before him. He actually returned to the entrance of the forbidden ground, at the external boundary of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain.


    With a wave of his hand, that undying old freak directly sent him here. Wasn’t this simply too monstrous?


    With no other indications at all, Qin Wentian had already returned to the entrance of the forbidden ground.


    Those guards around here nced at Qin Wentian as they froze. Qin Wentian actually returned? Wasn’t this one of those who ventured into the forbidden ground ten years ago? He actually came back alive?


    He, who was at the immortal-foundation realm when he went in, actually didn’t die?


    Qin Wentian didn’t care about their strange looks. He nced at the horizons as he sighed with relief.


    After a moment, Qin Wentian actually bowed in the direction of the forbidden ground while silently speaking, "Old freak, let’s hope you can wait for my strength to reach your level. At that time, I will definitely give you a fiery battle."


    With a sh of his silhouette, Qin Wentian sped away, bypassing thosew mountains. After that, he finally came before an ancient peak and saw a familiar silhouette on it.


    That silhouette sat on the ground silently, ying the strings of her zither, creating an atmosphere of longing, telling the story of someone waiting for something. Qin Wentian quietly stood there and when he heard that familiar melody, a smile could be seen on his face.


    To think that for this trip to the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, both him and Zhiyin managed to break through to the immortal king realm. What fortune.


    The melody continued, and only after some time did it reach its end. The music gradually dissipated as Zhiyin opened her beautiful eyes. Her eyes were filled with a radiant smile as she stared at Qin Wentian, "I knew you would return, hence I’ve been waiting here for you."


    "Why wait for me?" Qin Wentian shook his head andughed.


    "Since we came here together, we should leave here together as well." Zhiyin spoke in a light voice, her reasoning was very simple, but it was also very logical.


    "Let’s leave then." Qin Wentian smiled. Zhiyin stood up as the two of them proceeded to the exit side by side.


    Outside the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, when experts there saw both Zhiyin and Qin Wentianing out together, all of them couldn’t help but to be stunned. After that, a guard spoke, "My good lord and madam, please halt. Princess gave an order saying that if we saw the two of youing out, we have to inform her immediately. She wille by personally."


    "Princess Nongyue is too polite." Qin Wentianughed. He nced at Zhiyin and spoke, "In that case, let us wait for Beiming Nongyue here."


    "Okay." Zhiyin nodded.
