    Qin Kexin stared at the monks from the western world, her expression was like ice as she spoke, “I’m standing right here. If you all can barge into the Qin Heavenly Deity Sect by passing through me, just do it. But if you can’t, don’t me me for being impolite then.”


    The monks stared at Qin Kexin. Before this, Qin Kexin had a battle here, she dominated a heavenly deity from the Thunder n. Although the monks came from the western paradise, there wasn’t a buddha lord among them, all of them were ordinary heavenly deities of the western paradise. If a fight really broke out, they weren’t confident in winning against Qin Kexin.


    “Benefactor, your cultivation is profound and your talent is exceptional. We can only join forces and seek guidance from you. We will have to offend you.” The monks then spread out. In an instant, the buddhic light radiating from them merged together, illuminating the area.


    “Shameless bald donkeys.” The people from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect cursed. Numerous deities from the western world were actually joining forces against Qin Kexin yet they still sounded so dignified. They were truly extremely shameless.


    In an instant, the ocean waves below churned as numerous gigantic buddha statues actually rose up from beneath the water. Not only that, there were also gigantic buddha bodies that appeared in the air, their pressure enveloping this entire space. Sounds of buddhic chants permeated the atmosphere, causing experts in the entire Boundless Sea Region to feel their ears tremble as they fell into the rhythm of the chants.


    Qin Kexin was surrounded by all the buddhas. It looked like there was no way for her to escape this buddha-infested world.


    Numerous buddhist techniques wereunched as attacks at Qin Kexin. Gigantic buddha palm imprints, powerful buddhist path ancient words containing dao might... This power level was enough to directly crush ordinary deities, causing them to lose theirbat strength. However, there was only coldness in Qin Kexin’s eyes.


    The world of the divine mausoleum enveloped this entire area, shrouding everyone within. Numerous illusory figures appeared once more from the divine mausoleum. These figures threw themselves at the buddha statues, each actually unleashing a different type of heavenly dao might, shattering the buddha statues and techniques. Qin Kexin seemed like she could control all types of daos alone by summoning the Divine Mausoleum. She could use the daos of the deities who died there to aid her in battle.


    The waves of the Boundless Sea Region churned, the buddha statues shattered apart. Qin Kexin was like an absolute goddess, standing in the air proudly. The monks still chanted buddhic verses but the effect was growing increasingly weaker. All the monks retreated, the monk in the lead then pressed his palms together, “Female benefactor, your cultivation base is extraordinary and this old monk is impressed. In the future when there’s a chance to, we wille and seek guidance from you again.”


    “What? Wanting to leave now?” Qin Kexin coldly smiled. But as the sound of her voice faded, those monks instantly transformed into beams of light and directly flew away with great speed. Such swiftness of action caused Qin Kexin to furrow her brow. The monks didn’t seem willing to fight a protracted battle, it was like they just wanted to test Qin Kexin’s strength and once that was aplished, they left straight away.


    “The western paradise actually retreated?” The eyes of everyone shed. The hearts of experts in the Boundless Sea Region trembled. Seems like even the monks from the western paradise weren’t able to contend against this young woman or they wouldn’t have left so cleanly. But this was also normal. After all, this young woman was someone who dared to challenge the Thunder n Leader. If a buddha lord didn’t show up, most probably the other monks wouldn’t be able to do anything to her.


    The only genius character in the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms that could beparable to her, only seemed to be one person... Qin Wentian.


    Qin Wentian barged into the western paradise alone and hunted down the Karma Buddha. This was why he got suppressed and imprisoned in the western paradise.


    However, this only pair of geniuses that were the only onesparable to each other. They also seemed to have an unknown connection. She told the western paradise to treat Qin Wentian kindly. There was someone in the Divine Mausoleum that has a connection with Qin Wentian.


    Currently, the situation was now at a stalemate. A mysterious young woman from the Divine Mausoleum actually blocked the invasion from the various hegemonic powers, causing them to be unable to take a step into the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. Naturally, this didn’t mean that the various hegemonic powers wouldn’t be a match for this young woman if they joined forces. It’s just that the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect wasn’t the Heaven Vault after all. They wanted to take over the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect purely because they wanted to pressure Qin Wentian but as to how useful it might be, nobody knew.


    In addition to the mysterious identity of this young woman from the divine mausoleum, she said that her father was the tomb keeper. This caused the leaders of the various hegemonic powers to feel some trepidation. This was why the situation was now at a stalemate.


    Also, what made the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have a headache was that this young woman clearly seemed to be content to wait here and guard the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. She showed no signs of wanting to leave, and with her present, no one would be able to enter half a step into the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.


    ...


    However, in the western paradise, the attacks unleashed against Qin Wentian have never stopped before. They didn’t listen to Qin Kexin’s warning. The Divine Mausoleum might cause the western paradise to feel some trepidation but it wasn’t enough to snuff out their ambitions of obtaining control over the Heaven Vault. They had to sacrifice a buddha lord before they could imprison Qin Wentian. How could they treat Qin Wentian kindly?


    Not only did they not do so, they would send experts over to the location where they imprisoned him daily and caused the giant buddha palm that was suppressing Qin Wentian to radiate even more power. Also, they used different techniques and methods every day. Some of these buddha dao techniques were extremely terrifying, capable of influencing the hearts of their target, wanting to control him. However, given Qin Wentian’s current cultivation where he could even sever the eight senses of Buddhism when the Karma Buddha used it against him, it wouldn’t be so easy to gain control of him.


    But the western paradise wasn’t in a hurry. They repeated this everyday, using different techniques and methods and sometimes, there were even buddha lords who joined in the attack, slowly grinding away at Qin Wentian’s will, wanting his dao heart to copse.


    Today, outside the buddha palm where Qin Wentian was suppressed, a buddha lord appeared. This was a very powerful character from the western paradise. The other buddhas bowed when they saw him. The buddha lord moved closer and began to radiate buddhic light. After that, buddha dao energy seeped into the giant palm, boring down on Qin Wentian.


    Inside the dimension within the giant buddha palm, Qin Wentian sat there cross-legged as he exuded terrifying dao might to block the invasion of buddha dao attacks. Numerous scenes shed across his mind, it was like he could see the scene of the Heaven Vault’s destruction, he saw Qingcheng being killed, he saw Qing`er’s body immersed in blood, he saw his loved ones entering purgatory, being surrounded and ughtered.


    All these scenes felt extremely real, not like an illusion at all, causing Qin Wentian to feel that he was on the verge of copse. Even his will was wavering as his body trembled.


    “What a powerful dao art.” He gathered his focus and reminded himself. Evidently, an extremely powerful buddha lord of the western paradise was outside acting against him, using this dao art to influence his mind, wanting to break his resolve.


    After a long time, the buddha dao energy finally dissipated. Qin Wentian was sweating profusely. A voice then rang out from the outside, “Benefactor Qin, why must you be so stubborn? The Buddhist Sect is merciful, if Benefactor Qin is willing to cooperate, we will naturally not make things difficult for you and will grant you your freedom. Right now, many things happened in the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, I’m sure that Benefactor Qin still has no idea about them, right?”


    After speaking, the buddha lord directly left. Qin Wentian inclined his head and looked at the buddha statues in this dimension of the giant buddha palm. Were these buddhas buddhas or devils?


    If this continued, how long could he persist?


    A day or two? No problem at all. But what about a year or two years?”


    Although he definitely wouldn’t give up and would continue to work hard in cultivation even in such situations, the monks woulde here everyday to disturb him. There was basically no time for him to cultivate with his heart at ease.


    But no matter what, it was impossible if they wanted him to give up the Heaven Vault. All his loved ones are within there. Even if he has to die, he would never allow the people in the Heaven Vault to fall into danger.


    Time slowly passed. Unknowingly, over a year has already passed. In truth, it has been almost two years since Qin Wentian was imprisoned. This meant that the people in the Heaven Vault have cultivated close to two hundred years due to the minor worlds of time in there. Little Rascal, Jun Mengchen, Qing`er and the others grew more and more powerful. This was what Qin Wentian was thinking about as he still persisted under the torment of the western paradise.


    At this moment, some shocking changes did ur to the Heaven Vault. In addition, many of these changes were things Qin Wentian basically wouldn’t be able to imagine. Let alone Qin Wentian, even the people of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms weren’t able to imagine these changes.


    Qin Kexin still guarded the area outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, and people of the divine sect referred to her as the Goddess of Protection. The people from the various hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms felt somewhat anxious. Although a year or two to them was considered very short, but since the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms was in a period of change, they all naturally wanted to enter the Heaven Vault to cultivate as quickly as possible. But the western paradise still wasn’t able to handle Qin Wentian, this caused all the hegemonic powers to feel extremely flustered.


    There were so many buddha dao techniques and arts yet they had no way to deal with Qin Wentian who was suppressed and imprisoned?


    Time continued flowing by. And today, in the western paradise at the location where Qin Wentian was suppressed, many ancient buddhas appeared here. They were all extremely quiet, like they were waiting for something.


    Finally, golden light shed as a true buddha manifested. A buddha lord descended from the air and all the buddhas here bowed to him.


    This buddha lord had a fat head andrge ears, he exuded a feeling of peace. He nodded lightly as he turned his gaze towards the giant buddha palm suppressing Qin Wentain.


    “During these days, have you all finished what you all needed to do?” He didn’t open his mouth yet his voice rang out in the minds of everyone here. The buddhas nodded their heads, it has been so long, they have tormented Qin Wentian enough and it was now time to reap their harvest. This was especially so that this particr buddha lord of the western paradise had decided to act personally. No more unexpected things would ur. Qin Wentian would open the Heaven Vault for sure.


    “Good. Have the various hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms been informed?” The buddha lord’s voice rang out in their minds once more as everyone nodded. Everything has been settled.


    They have aplished everything that needed to be done. At this moment, countless experts from the various hegemonic powers gathered in the airspace above the Boundless Sea Region. There were so many of them that the scene was extremely terrifying. All these hegemonic powers seemed to havee to a tacit understanding and chose to gather outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. This caused Qin Kexin to feel that something was wrong. It felt like something major was about to happen!
