<h4>Chapter 1939: Response of the Hegemonic Powers</h4>
<strong>Trantor: </strong>Lordbluefire <strong>Editor: </strong>Lordbluefire
After the Divine Ox n was annihted, no other powers were in charge of the Deste Region.
The Luoshen n was fragmented, one faction was in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, while the other faction has relocated. The Demon God Mountain was also in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, which resulted in the interesting situation today. This vast region actually had no hegemonic powers controlling it. This resulted in many experts contending against each other as a period of chaos began in the Deste Region.
For the lower worlds controlled by the Deste Region, a super strong mysterious power suddenly appeared in a city, fixing their base there. No one knew where this power originated from. This power kept a very low profile, but there were once some probes being conducted on it before and the only information ever collected was that the strength of this mysterious power was unfathomable.
This power was none other than one of the hegemons in the Deste Region of the past. The Luoshen n.
Naturally, this was the faction that relocated away, the faction where Luoshen Mu was in charge.
Now, the atmosphere in the Luoshen n was a little subtle. Many people of this faction suddenly brought up the topic of returning to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. They weren’t willing to stay behind in this ce full of weaklings. Naturally, they would have such thoughts because of the recent news they obtained. Although the Luoshen n has relocated, it was impossible that they didn’t leave behind any informants in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. During these years, all the major events that happened in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were known by them.
Not long ago, the Divine Ox n was just annihted. The person who did this was none other than the son of the past princess of the Luoshen n, Luoshen Qianxue – Qin Wentian.
The power that once humiliated their Luoshen n was now razed to t ground, bing a part of the history of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
Not only so, the once imposing and lofty Qin n who went to the Luoshen Mountain to humiliate them before, was now also facing a great cmity. Many years ago, Qin Wentian went to the Heaven Region to stop the wedding between Qin Dangtian and Goddess Nichang. After that, he defeated Heaven’s Son and his grandfather Qin Tiangang traveled through time, dragging Qin Ding into chaotic space. Multiple heavenly deities of the Qin n had died then. This was a great catastrophe to them.
Different to the Qin n and Divine Ox n, Qin Wentian and the Luoshen Faction led by Luoshen Chuan, have now reimed their glory. They established the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and could cultivate in the Heaven Vault. It was rumored that right now, numerous heavenly deities have already been nurtured. The Battle Saint Tribe also resurfaced and Qin Wentian was their saint lord. Right now, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were filled with wariness with regards to Qin Wentian and the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect he established.
In the great hall of the Luoshen n, there were currently many experts gathered, in the midst of a discussion.
“I feel that we should return. The Heaven Vault is a cultivation secret realm and can help nurture many heavenly deities. It’s rumored that Qin Wentian already has multiple heavenly deities under his wing.” An old man spoke. With such an opportunity before them, they truly didn’t want to miss it.
“Don’t forget how had we treated Qin Wentian back then. It’s one thing that he doesn’t hate us. But if you hope that Qin Wentian would allow us to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation, that’s nothing but a foolish dream.” Another person argued.
“Back then, everyone in our Luoshen n came to a joint agreement of not epting Qin Wentian. When Qin Wentian came, only Luoshen Chuan stood by his side. But now, aren’t the other members of the Luoshen n cultivating in the Heaven Vault as well? In any case, we share the same blood and we are all family. His grandfather and uncle are still around. If we apologize, there shouldn’t be any problems. What does it count for if we keep on turtling here?”
Clearly, there were people who wanted to return to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Even if they had toy down their pride, it was fine to them. Everything was good as long as they could enter the Heaven Vault to cultivate.
Many people started arguing but the voices of returning were louder.
“Enough.” Luoshen Mu sat on the throne and berated. His expression was like ice.
The people of the Luoshen n could go back. Maybe, Qin Wentian might ept them. But what about him, Luoshen Mu?
He was the person who seized the position of the n leader away from Luoshen Chuan. He was also the person who fragmented the Luoshen n. He had been plotting against Luoshen Chuan since a long time ago and back then when the Qin n arrived, he strongly disagreed with Luoshen Chuan who wanted to protect Qin Wentian. The Heaven Vault might ept the others, but it was impossible for Qin Wentian to allow him, Luoshen Mu, to enter. Also, once they returned, the Luoshen n would be under the control of Luoshen Chuan again. He, Luoshen Mu, would only have a single path left, he had to leave the Luoshen n and be a stranger. After so many years of fighting, wouldn’t he be a joke?
“In the future, I don’t wish to listen to such discussions ever again. Our Luoshen n doesn’t need to depend on others to survive.” Luoshen Mu coldly spoke. Many people turned their gazes to him, especially so for those who wished to return. Their gazes held no signs of respect, they no longer felt any reverence for Luoshen Mu.
“n leader, there are some words I shouldn’t say but right now, our faction of the Luoshen n is now in such a state, I will feel extremely stifled if I still don’t say them.” An old man spoke. “Once, we supported you to be the n leader because we wanted the Luoshen n to grow stronger and stronger under your leadership. This was what you, the n leader, promised us then. But in reality, after n leader took over the Luoshen n, all our Luoshen n has known, was humiliation. In fact, we were even forced to relocate to a particle world. We are one of the hegemonic powers in the Deste Region yet we have declined and fallen so much. As for Luoshen Chuan and the others, they were the ones who got revenge for the humiliation our Luoshen n suffered. In addition, they are growing increasingly stronger. There woulde a day where it would no longer matter if our faction of the Luoshen n ceased to exist. People of the world would forget about us. Only the faction in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would be the true Luoshen n then.”
These words caused the hearts of many people to resonate. Through these many years, they have seen a lot of things but didn’t express their true emotions. It was impossible for them not to feel resentment. Right now, their emotions finally erupted forth.
Luoshen Mu turned pale. He nced at everyone, many people were looking at him. Their gazes no longer had any respect like in the past, there was only resentment. It was like the decline of the Luoshen n was his responsibility alone.
Is this really what is happening? If it wasn’t for the appearance of Qin Wentian, would the faction led by Luoshen Chuan be able to rise up?
He didn’t lose to Luoshen Chuan, he lost to a junior instead, Luoshen Qianxue’s son. It was said that not long ago, Qin Wentian just killed the Ox Chieftain of the Divine Ox n. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful Qin Wentian was currently.
“If you all want to return, just return then. I won’t block any of you.” Luoshen Mu calmly spoke. After that, he stood up and left, leaving behind everyone who exchanged mutual nces. If they returned now, would Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan really ept them? Their hearts were filled with trepidation.
...
The change to the Luoshen n was clearly triggered by the destruction of the Divine Ox n. Also, the influence of that battle in the Divine Ox Castle wasn’t merely this.
Many hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms could feel a sense of crisis. At this moment, there were actually many powers heading to the western location of the Universe Region, to the Purnd of Bliss.
They naturally didn’t go there to seek the buddha about the dao. They wanted the buddhist sect there to help out.
In the Purnd of Bliss, in an ancient hall in the buddha sect, a reverend came by to wee the heavenly deities of some of the hegemonic powers. All the heavenly deities acted very politely here to the buddha cultivators of the buddha sect.
At this moment, many of the heavenly deities were seated on simple-looking praying mats.
“Our buddhist sect pursues the great dao and has always had no intentions to be embroiled within the chaotic battles in the immortal realms. I can understand all of your intentions ining here today, but we are helpless to do anything.” A reverend d in a cassock pressed his palms together as he spoke to the heavenly deities gathered here.
“The Purnd of Bliss has always been separated from matters of the mortal world. We naturally understand this. All reverends in the Purnd of Bliss are people with high merits and dislike participating in disputes. However, right now, the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms cannot know peace. Qin Wentian has caused multiple deity-level battles and he even annihted the Divine Ox Castlepletely. How many lives are there in a deity-level n? All of them were exterminated just like that. He is like a butcher whose hands are stained with blood.” A heavenly deity calmly spoke. He pressed his palms together and bowed, “The buddha is merciful, how can you allow such a vile person to continue wreaking havoc in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? Also, the buddha sect in the Purnd of Bliss pursues the great dao. Inside the Heaven Vault, there are countless buddha-type constetions in the nine heavenlyyers that could be of great benefit to the reverends inprehending the dao of the buddha. Right now, Qin Wentian is monopolizing it alone and he is constantly causing trouble. His n is probably to destroy all the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms so he can rule unchallenged.”
“Benefactor Qin doesn’t seem to be a person of great evil. As long as all of you don’t push him too hard, there won’t be a war in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” The reverend calmly spoke, he naturally had a bnce in his heart and could judge things clearly.
“The present is different from the past. Currently, Qin Wentian’s strength is getting stronger and stronger. His ambition is starting to show. He is relying on the Heaven Vault to do whatever he wants. The Divine Ox n is a very good example, there’s sure to be more cases like that. The reverends of the Purnd of Bliss might not embroil themselves with matters of the world but I’m sure you all know about everything that has happened in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Another heavenly deity spoke.
The heavenly deity of the buddhist sect was as calm as ever. There were no fluctuations to his expression. No one could tell what he was thinking in his heart.
“The Heaven Vault is a ce of troubles. If it exists, the disputes in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would never cease.” The reverend calmly spoke.
The eyes of the heavenly deities shed while they cursed in their hearts. After that, one of the heavenly deities spoke, “The Heaven Vault can be given to the buddhist sect to control. It wouldn’t be open to all, the buddhist sect can choose to allow some people from the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to cultivate within. If this is the case, wouldn’t there no longer be any disputes?”
As the sound of his voice faded, the eyes of the reverend grew brighter. “If this is the case, wouldn’t the powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms turn against us?”
“How would we dare? The prestige of the buddhist sect is like the sun in the sky. It is a symbol of faith for the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and has established itself for countless years. If the buddhist sect was the one in control, the other powers would surely be able to rest at ease.” Someone else spoke. Although he didn’t mean what he said, he still managed to sound exceedingly calm.
The reverend which was a heavenly deity from the buddhist sect furrowed his brows slightly, like he was unwilling to agree. “If the buddhist sect acts, wouldn’t we be too overbearing in our actions?”
“How would that be possible? Qin Wentian originally is already monopolizing the Heaven Vault. The buddhist sect would only act because they wished to administer justice. It’s what the hearts of everyone else wished for.”
The various heavenly deities began to say all the good things. After all, the buddhist sect in the Universe Region was one of the supreme-tier existence in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
At the very least, they mustn’t allow another supreme-tier hegemonic power to appear. Qin Wentian, Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystical Pce, if they also became a supreme-tier existence, it would be the cmity of the other powers. They would rather the buddhist sect take control of the Heaven Vault and didn’t want to allow Qin Wentian to continue growing. It would be too dangerous to all of them.
As for the Purnd of Bliss, it by itself was already a supreme-tier hegemonic power. Even if they controlled the Heaven Vault, things would be the same. In any case, it would be better for the other powerspared to Qin Wentian being the controller of the Heaven Vault.
In addition, it was impossible for Qin Wentian to allow any of them to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. They would have hope if the controller is the buddhist sect instead.
