  The Skyair Palace Lord understood what Qin Wentian said was true. The bloody scar on his throat was still there. Earlier, he had narrowly escaped death.

  Was Qin Wentian really brazen and arrogant? Or did he have the strength to back it up?

  Who was the arrogant one? As the personal disciple of the Realmlord, the Skyair Palace Lord was one of the three strongest world palace lords under the Lifelong Realmlord. Yet he actually couldn’t even withstand a single strike from Qin Wentian.

  Not only was the Skyair Palace Lord speechless, the three other empyreans who were the palace lords of the Xuanyuan Palace, Dragonsaddle Palace and Kanwater Palace were all speechless as they stared at the bloody scar on the Skyair Palace Lord’s throat.

  The expression of the Xuanyuan Palace Lord grew extremely unsightly. Earlier, he was still mocking Qin Wentian but now, his face was smacked directly. Qin Wentian used his strength to tell them that true strength wasn’t something that could be measured by how long one has cultivated for or by how famous one was. Back then when he just stepped into the empyrean realm, he already could kill the Lifire Palace Lord. Now, he could similarly defeat them and could even kill them.

  However, Qin Wentian didn’t kill his opponent. After all, the Skyair Palace Lord was the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord and was representing the Realmlord in coming to the lower world. If Qin Wentian killed him, this meant that he would never be able to return to the Lifelong Realm. Ye Qianyu and the others were still there in the Lifire Palace. Hence, it was impossible to kill the Skyair Palace Lord today but his earlier attack was already sufficient to cause the Skyair Palace Lord to be unable to forget it for the rest of his life.

  “Anyone else still has any objections?” Qin Wentian swept his glance to the other palace lords. At this moment, when his voice entered their ears, they no longer felt he was arrogant. Instead, they felt that he was imposing and was extremely confident in himself. Such majesty would involuntarily radiate forth, the mark of a truly powerful expert. If one didn’t have enough strength, then his words and actions would be arrogance. But if he was powerful enough, he was imposing and his words and actions showed his confidence.

  At this instant, the four palace lords all went silent. If they spoke and Qin Wentian asked them to ‘provide guidance,’ how should they react? Should they also fight with him and end up with a bloody scar on their throats? None of them felt that they were stronger than the Skyair Palace Lord.

  “What illusionary secret art did you use?” The Skyair Palace Lord asked, reluctance was plain in his voice. Although he had lost, he wanted to lose with understanding. He had clearly broken free of Qin Wentian’s first illusion but why did the second scene of a bloody wound on his throat and the smell of blood appear? That couldn’t be false, it had to be real.

  Qin Wentian coldly stared at him. Qin Wentian had comprehended the source origin of the phantasm laws and could manifest laws with just a single thought. The illusionary techniques he used was just something he unleashed by just thinking about it. For a powerful illusionary art, not only could he mislead his opponent’s vision, he naturally could also mislead his opponent’s sense of smell, sense of touch and even his immortal senses. In addition, this illusionary technique he used was something he obtained from the memories inside the tiny astral-being. After Azure Mystic was unified and during the time where he gave lectures to the immortal emperors from the various powers, he used his spare time to cultivate this technique and gradually grew proficient in it.

  The name of this technique is ‘Mirror’s Flower, Water’s Moon.’ The reflection of the flower in the mirror, the reflection of the moon on water, these are illusory and ungraspable. There are a total of three levels to this technique. The Skyair Palace Lord was still not up to the mark, only managing to see through the first level. Although the second level was eventually revealed at the end, it was already too late. Even if he had seen through the second level in the midst of his battle with Qin Wentian, there was still the third level. This can fool all senses, mixing reality with illusion. It was precisely why this technique was so fearsome.

  Relatively speaking, when someone saw through your illusionary technique, they would feel a moment of liberation and relaxation. At this time, the second level has already kicked in and when they finally broke through the second level, the third level was waiting for them. Such an illusionary technique was simply too tyrannical The Skyair Palace Lord has never fought against Qin Wentian before. Since he was the recipient of such an illusionary technique, he would naturally fall into it.

  Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t tell the Skyair Palace Lord about this. The innate techniques and secret arts of cultivators are their trump cards during combat, how could he explain things to his enemy?

  “Did Yi teach you that?” The Skyair Palace Lord transmitted his voice over to ask, his expression extremely unsightly. Yi was also a world overlord character, the same level of existence as his master the Lifelong Realmlord. He thought that Yi had taught Qin Wentian this tyrannical technique which was why he had lost. As for other aspects of combat, he didn’t feel that he would be inferior to Qin Wentian. He wasn’t willing to admit it.

  “You can go complain to the Realmlord, saying that I want to bring my senior apprentice sister along but you obstructed me and was defeated by a single sword strike of mine. If you don’t say things clearly and in the future if the Realmlord questions me, I will tell him honestly what happened.” Qin Wentian ignored the other party’s question and directly spoke. This caused the expression of the Skyair Palace Lord to turn even more unsightly. He was the disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord and Qin Wentian was Yi’s disciple. A sword strike from Qin Wentian almost killed him, leaving a bloody scar on his throat. What would his master think?

  He wouldn’t simply be throwing his own face, he would also be throwing the face of the Lifelong Realmlord as well. Hence, it was best to hide this matter if they could hide it. If he lost face for his master, his master would surely be very disappointed in him and start to alienate him.

  Qin Wentian’s body flashed, vanishing form his location and reappearing by the side of his allies. He then spoke in a low voice, “Let’s go.”


  Beiming Youhuang cast a deep glance at Qin Wentian, she didn’t expect that Qin Wentian was already this powerful. She was very clear about the Skyair Palace Lord’s strength, yet he was actually so easily defeated. Seeing the bloody scar on his throat, she knew that Qin Wentian could have killed him. If the Skyair Palace Lord wasn’t the Lifelong Realmlord’s disciple or if Qin Wentian wasn’t someone from the Lifelong Realm, the Skyair Palace Lord would already be a dead man.

  As for those from Azure Mystic, they have seen too many wondrous things from Qin Wentian that they were already numbed. In the process of unifying Azure Mystic, several empyreans died to Qin Wentian. In their eyes, Qin Wentian being able to defeat opponents on the same level was nothing special. After all, they knew nothing about who the Skyair Palace Lord was and what was his status.

  After Qin Wentian’s group left, the Skyair Palace Lord glanced at the three other palace lords and spoke. “For this matter, it’s best that everyone temporarily not speak of this to my master. By not traveling with us, Beiming Youhuang has already defied the will of my master. At the time when the blame is assigned, we will definitely have to bear part of it.”


  The three other palace lords cursed silently in their heart. The Skyair Palace Lord was intentionally dragging them down under the water. He actually wanted to keep this under wraps. However, they could also understand the thoughts of the Skyair Palace Lord, and could only nod with a heavy expression. The Xuanyuan Palace Lord glanced at the direction Qin Wentian headed to as he sighed in his heart. In the Lifelong Realm, other than the Realmlord, most probably only the Desolate Heaven Palace Lord could suppress Qin Wentian.

  Who would have thought that the Lifire Palace would rise up in such a short time after being taken over by a new palace lord. To them, this wasn’t a good thing. Earlier, they had already caused the relationship between them and Qin Wentian to be strained. It is going to be extremely hard to repair the crack in the relationship.

  But luckily, the Skyair Palace Lord would bear the brunt of this. He was the main person who had offended Qin Wentian and was even the personal disciple of the Lifelong Realmlord. They needn’t worry about this too much.

  Each of the palace lords then respectively warned their subordinates to keep this matter a secret. After that, they continued to advance into the depths of the ancient battlefield, searching for the secrets here as well as bouts of good fortune. If they really could gain something beneficial in this place, all of what just happened just then could be tossed to the back of their minds……

  Qin Wentian and the others continued on their way. The powerful source origins of spatial laws radiated from him, enveloping his group as he brought them through spatial gates again and again, traveling a thousand miles with a single step. In his mind, the ancient will of the heavenly deity was providing directions to him.

  “Senior, where should we go?” Qin Wentian soared through the air, leading his group as he asked the heavenly deity.

  “To the center of Ancient Azure Mystic. Over there, there was once a flying city and was the most prosperous place in the world. That is also the center of the ancient battlefield. If you wish to seek good fortune, that place is the most suitable. There are definitely divine depositories buried there.” The heavenly deity replied.

  “How much longer?” Qin Wentian asked.

  “Our speed is too slow. This world has transformed into endless stretches of desolation and there are no teleportation arrays. If you maintain this speed, you will need roughly about two to three years more of time.” The heavenly deity replied.

  Qin Wentian’s heart trembled despite already steeling himself for the answer. He was still shocked regardless.

  Now that he had entered the empyrean realm and was the Heaven Empyrean of Azure Mystic, he was told that his speed was too slow despite him traveling by spatial gates? He still needed two to three more years of time to reach their location, he was simply speechless when he heard that…… But when he thought of what sort of character the heavenly deity was when he was still alive, Qin Wentian also understood. How much more powerful was a deity compared to an empyrean? There was simply no way to compare. It was like the sun in the sky being compared to a tiny ant crawling on the surface of the earth.

  As for the time needed, it was very normal as well. Ancient Azure Mystic was a place that could cause the various experts from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to covet for it, how vast was that world then? Qin Wentian only needed to use the Lifelong Realm as a comparison target and he could instantly understand. Even for the Lifelong Realm, it was already boundlessly vast to him.

  “Ai!” Qin Wentian sighed depressedly. Even making their way there needed two to three years of time. He was simply speechless.

  “Why are you sighing? If there really are divine depositories there, others would spend thousands to over ten thousands of years searching and wouldn’t find the time taken long at all. Everyone under the heavens seeks the Great Dao, for people with a high enough cultivation base, a bout of good fortune far surpass cultivating for a million of years. Two to three years of time is merely a drop of water in the oceans, insignificant.” The ancient heavenly deity calmly spoke, it was like he knew what was Qin Wentian thinking about.

  “A million years……” Qin Wentian bitterly smiled and shook his head. “Junior has only cultivated for a short time and has no way to imagine that amount of time.”


  “Mhm, your talent can be considered one of the very best out of the people I’ve met. Without the resources of super powers like the Heavenly Deity Race, you can already be considered extremely outstanding given your cultivation speed. However, you need to be able to endure loneliness. That existence who passed the Undying Scripture to you most probably didn’t only want you to protect Azure Mystic. He placed his hopes on you, and probably wanted you to restore Ancient Azure Mystic.”


  “Restore Ancient Azure Mystic?” Qin Wentian started. “A world that has been buried, how do I restore it? How many years would that need?’


  “Haha, since you have cultivated the Undying Scripture, as long as you don’t die in unnatural causes, you would have unlimited time. What this world lacks most is time, but what it didn’t lack most is also time. For an undying existence, as long as one’s talent is good enough, he or she would sooner or later be able to climb up to the peak. Can it be that you still don’t understand the true meaning of the Undying Scripture?” The ancient heavenly deity’s voice turned solemn as he continued, “Undying is a state, it is able to subdue time, and allow one to climb up to the supreme peak.”


  Qin Wentian was stunned, he had never truly considered things from this angle. Was this why the Undying Scripture was so powerful? As long as he didn’t die in battles or accidents, he would be able to climb to the absolute peak. Time was nothing to him.

  This world has never lacked geniuses, including supreme characters. However, who would dare to say that they won’t die? The vast majority of them would fall at different stages of cultivation. Or for others, they might have unrivalled levels of talent but they ultimately were still defeated by the strongest enemy of all – time. But for an undying existence, he wouldn’t lose to time.

  All Great Daos are simple. The stronger a Dao was, the more simple the logic in it is!
