<strong>Trantor: </strong>Lordbluefire <strong>Editor: </strong>Lordbluefire
The Eastern Royal Immortal Realms was still a vassal world under the Ziwei Divine Court. Given the magnitude of events that happened there, it was impossible for the news to be maskedpletely. After all, the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms wasn’t a sealed world like the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. People from the upper world would frequently tour this ce.
This news soon spread to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The first region where the news circted to, was the Mystic Region. After that, the other regions soon caught wind of it, as shocking waves ofmotion ensued.
Yue Changkong devoured his master.
Also, this happened because the heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court was greedy and wanted to absorb his soul. This was the reason why he was counter-devoured by Yue Changkong. To the Ziwei Divine Court, this was absolutely a scandal. They even wanted to suppress this news but their methods couldn’t keep up with the rate of cirction.
However, many people were curious as to how Yue Changkong aplished this. How did he kill a heavenly deity?
Soon after this, all the evil Yue Changkong hadmitted in the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms was revealed. The vitality of the entity world has declined immensely. After Yue Changkong came back from the world of reincarnation, he used the principles of the evil art he learned there and practiced it using the countless lives of innocents from the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms. By right, it was impossible for the heavenly deity from the Ziwei Divine Court to die in Yue Changkong’s hand. However, he wanted to absorb all of Yue Changkong’s insights into the evil art due to greed. This allowed Yue Changkong to find an opportunity to enter his soul. After that, Yue Changkong used the countless spirits of the deceased he gathered to weaken the soul defense of the heavenly deity while he attempted to take over the heavenly deity’s body. Such an evil art belonged to the seizing category.
After this, Yue Changkong actually boldly went to the Ziwei Divine Court. It’s said that a deity-level battle erupted in the Ziwei Divine Court and after the battle, Yue Changkong officially took over the position his master had in the Sect and became a heavenly deity of the Ziwei Divine Court, one of the controllers there. This caused another round ofmotion. Nobody knew what the exact situation was when Yue Changkong entered the Ziwei Divine Court, but the Ziwei Divine Court actually chose to allow him to be a part of them. This caused everyone to curse the Ziwei Divine Court as being iparably shameless. After all, Yue Changkong’s actions in the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms could be considered a great sin. Although many heavenly deities also didn’t really have glorious reputations, they would still treat such an act as a great taboo and would never do such a thing.
After the Great Devil Divine Pce learned of this, they humiliated the Ziwei Divine Court saying that the Ziwei Divine Court doesn’t deserve to share equal fame with their Great Devil Divine Pce. There were originally already many conflicts between them and it’s very normal that the Devil Pce would say such words during such a time. However soon after that, those experts from the Devil Pce who said such words were all found dead mysteriously. Also, multiple world overlords from the Great Devil Divine Pce were killed. This matterpletely enraged the Great Devil Divine Pce and their conflict with the Ziwei Divine Court further intensified as more and more casualties appeared on both sides.
It seemed that the Mystic Region was in chaos as well.
But no matter how the people of the world cursed at Yue Changkong, their feelings towards him were extremelyplicated. One couldn’t help but say that this young man, who was once ridiculed by all for fooling the world, had finally walked his own path out. From a certain perspective, Yue Changkong already achieved what he wanted to. He has sessfully stepped into the heavenly deity realm, the legendary realm which countless aspired to. Although everyone in the world despised him, who would dare not to show respect if he appeared before them currently?
Since this news circted through the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, Luoshen Lei in the Deste Region naturally also learned of it. She told Qin Wentian about this via a voice transmission.
Qin Wentian also didn’t expect that Yue Changkong actually managed to devour a heavenly deity and became one through evil methods.
He silently sighed at how terrifying the world of reincarnation was. He had also cultivated an evil art and he knew that the evil arts from the world of reincarnation couldn’t be directly used in this world. However, there are still several aspects worthprehending. Also, the main purpose of the world of reincarnation was to allow one to see the true nature of their hearts. In that world, Yue Changkongpletely unleashed the evilness in his nature. Speaking of this in thenguage of cultivation, it can actually be said that Yue Changkong’s dao heart was determined enough and incredibly stable, surpassing countless people. Even if he had to sacrifice the lives of countless innocents, he didn’t feel guilty at all. He hadpletely lost his humanity. Such a dao was truly terrifying.
Qin Wentian thought back to the mysterious white robed young man he met at the legendary ce. What sort of existence was he exactly. How high did his cultivation reach before he could create a world that seemed to know about heavenly fate like the world of reincarnation?
Yue Changkong was just one of the ssic examples among the types of geniuses who entered the world of reincarnation. In truth, before Yue Changkong became a deity, Reverend Seven Abstinences already seeded. Most probably, there would still be a few more among those geniuses who would be able to break through to the deity realm.
Back then, for the sake of entering the legendary ce, Qin Dangtian forced the sacred academy topromise. The three heavenly deities from the academy didn’t want to allow him to enter because they were worried that unimaginably dire consequences would appear if Qin Dangtian entered, given his supreme talent and the fact that he was already at the heavenly deity realm. However in the end, Qin Dangtian chose to give up because he wouldn’t allow any other energy to destroy his dao. This was something he couldn’t endure.
“Elder brother, you have to be careful of Yue Changkong. He has already gone crazy. I heard that during these years, Donghuang Ying has been living her life in shame and humiliation. And after he became a heavenly deity of the Ziwei Divine Court, his then martial uncle and the two others who entered the world of reincarnation with him, all encountered unfortunate events and had very dire endings. In addition, the person Yue Changkong hates the most is none other than you.” Luoshen Lei reminded.
Her elder brother was like Yue Changkong’s jinx. Back then during the convention, Yue Changkong had been defeated by her elder brother. After that, Yue Changkong lost once more and he also lost again during their stint in the world of reincarnation.
“I understand. Most probably if I didn’t exist, I wouldn’t have caused Yue Changkong to be what he is now.” Qin Wentian sighed. This should be the karma spoken of in the world, right? If it wasn’t for him, the Yue Changkong now would still be a glorious disciple of the Ziwei Divine Court. He wouldn’t have chosen the path of evil.
“His nature has always been like this. Things would end up the same even if you didn’t appear.” Luoshen Lei spoke. She then continued, “Naturally, although Yue Changkong managed to devour a heavenly deity through his evil methods, elder brother you have also killed a heavenly deity before. In the future, you would still be the jinx that would counter him. Elder brother, when will you breakthrough to the heavenly deity realm?”
“I have no idea. I keep feeling that I’m still missing something.” Qin Wentianughed in reply. It wasn’t so easy to enter the deity level. Currently, hisprehension towards the dao had already reached an extremely high level. In fact, he could even already understand some of the techniques used by the heavenly deities. However, he felt that hisprehension hasn’t fully matured yet. Maybe, his opportunity hasn’t arrived yet.
“I see...” Luoshen Lei seemed to be mumbling to herself. Although they were separated by a vast distance, Qin Wentian still sensed that something was unusual. Qin Wentian then spoke, “Lei`er do you have something you want to talk to me about?”
“Let me think about it.” Luoshen Lei giggled.
“Lei`er what’s the matter? Don’t hide things from me.” Qin Wentian spoke. “Could it be that something has happened in the Deste Region?”
“Nope.” Luoshen Lei replied. “It’s just that over in the Heaven Region, a major thing just urred. I’m hesitating whether to inform this to elder brother or not.”
“What’s the matter?” Qin Wentian asked.
Luoshen Lei fell silent for some moments but eventually decided to tell him, “Heaven Vault has opened.”
“Heaven Vault.” Qin Wentian’s heart trembled. This ce was a legendary secret realm in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. He had only seen this name once, back in the ancient records kept by the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.
However, he had a deep impression of it. The reason was because Heaven Vault was the burial ce of two heavenly deities – Qin Tiangang and his wife.
And those two heavenly deities were none other than his paternal grandfather and grandmother. It was precisely because his grandparents had died which resulted in his father bing an orphan, causing his status to gradually weaken in the Qin n until the point where the status of his father’s faction became inferior to Qin Zheng. But then again, it’s only natural given how big an impact the death of two heavenly deities would be to a faction. In this world that was governed by strength, it was an exceptionally pragmatic world.
If Qin Tiangang and his wife didn’t die, the history of the Qin n’s junior generation might have very well been rewritten.
And now, the secret realm where his grandparents died in has just reopened again. It meant that the entrance to the Heaven Vault just appeared.
No wonder Luoshen Lei was hesitating to tell him about this or not. Clearly, she also knew of some past matters and was worried that Qin Wentian would head there due to his character.
“Elder brother, grandpa said that your paternal grandparents died precisely because they went to explore the Heaven Vault.” Luoshen Lei softly spoke.
“Mhm, Lei`er. Were you testing me when you asked when I would enter the deity realm?” Qin Wentian sighed. “You didn’t want to tell me about this, right?”
“I initially really didn’t n to tell elder brother about this. I’m afraid that you would surely go if you know about this. After all, the Heaven Vault is a ce where even heavenly deities could fall if they are careless. But, if I didn’t tell you and if you learned about this in the future, you would surely me me.” Luoshen Lei felt a little depressed. From the perspective of concern, she truly didn’t wish for Qin Wentian to head there.
“Sillyss.” Qin Wentianughed. “That ce is the legendary Heaven Vault. Although it’s dangerous, how can it be that there are no opportunities there? Also, I’ve read about the Heaven Vault from the ancient records in the sacred academy. There would always be many experts who entered whenever it is opened and although there are cases of heavenly deities dying, the probability is very minuscule. Maybe my grandparents died because they ventured too far into it and entered a forbidden area.”
“Elder brother, don’t tell me you really want to go?” Luoshen Lei could sensed that something was up from Qin Wentian’s tone. As expected, he immediately wanted to go the moment he learned of this. If she knew about his response, she would rather not have chosen to tell him.
“I’ll head out immediately to the Heaven Region...” Qin Wentian continued. Luoshen Lei waspletely speechless, she called out, “Elder brother, you...”
“Lei`er let’s talk again at ater date. I’ll go make my preparations now. I’ve always wanted to go to the Heaven Region for a look and I have to go there eventually. I might as well take this opportunity to do so.” Qin Wentian spoke. The eight regions of the Supreme ancient Immortal Realms are known as the Heaven, Earth, Mystic, Yellow, Eternity, Universe, Chaos and Deste Regions. The Heaven Region had the most supreme experts within and was imed as the strongest.
The powerful Qin n also came from there.
And just like what he has said, the Heaven Region was a ce he had to go sooner orter. Now, he was merely going there sooner.
“Wentian.” Just when Qin Wentian was about to keep his messaging crystal, a juvenile voice rang out in his mind. Qin Wentian started. He then spoke, “Little Rascal, why do you have the time to miss me? Are youzing around too much on the Demon God Mountain?”
“Nonsense. I’m the uniquely rare royal king of heaven devouring beasts. I heard Lei`er saying that you wanted to go to the Heaven Region. Just so coincidentally, the Demon God Mountain will be sending experts there as well and I’m also preparing to make a trip over there.” Little Rascal spoke.
“You?” Qin Wentian snickered with disdain. “It’s probably for the best that you continue to cultivate beside the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign for some more time first.”
“Detestable, how dare you look down on me. Wentian, I’m now really very strong. Who knows, even you might not be able to defeat me.” Little Rascal boasted.
“Fine. If the demon sovereign has no objections, the choice is up to you then. I really want to see how strong you are now.” Qin Wentianughed. It has indeed been many years since hest saw Little Rascal. Staying by the side of the Heaven Devouring Demon Sovereign was the most suitable ce for him. Little Rascal’s strength should have improved tremendously, right?
