Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Within the residence of Princess Changping, Princess Changping, Crimson-eyed Marquis, Qin Wentian and Qing`er, stood in a courtyard as they stared up at the sky. They could see a brilliant beam of light arcing across space, moving towards the emperor palace where the Evergreen Immortal Emperor resides. That was none other than the adjudication letter sent by the Skymist Immortal Empire.

”They are going too far. They actually dare to send the letter to the emperor palace.” The Crimson-eyed Marquisʼs express turned cold. ”Who the hell does Skymist Hai thinks he is? He even dares to say he wants to marry the princesses of our Empire? Simply ridiculous.”

”They clearly have ulterior motives and he is nothing but a front for them. The Skymist Immortal Empire clearly knows that my Evergreen Immortal Empire would never agree. They are intentionally targeting us.” Princess Changpingʼs beautiful eyes also flickered with a cold light.

”I wonder how the great emperor would handle this.” The marquis turned his gaze into the direction of the Emperor Palace. After that internal warfare, it was a fact that the strength of the Evergreen Immortal Empire has dropped. The Skymist Immortal Empire truly knows how to grab the opportunity.

”I donʼt believe the Skymist Immortal Empire would dare to wage war against our empire.” From the side, the daughter of Princess Changping, Ting`er, spoke unhappily.

”Who knows? Our Evergreen Immortal Empire is naturally also unwilling to start a war unless we truly have no more choice left to us.” The Crimson-eyed Marquis coldly spoke. At this moment, there was no way for the people in the Evergreen Immortal Empire to remain calm. All the animosity and grudges between the nobles all vanished as they faced a common enemy. They stared in the direction of the emperor palace and there were even several nobles walking towards there, wanting to request an audience with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

However, there was no news from the emperor palace. Nobody knew what the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was thinking.

In fact, nobody knew that at this moment within the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was currently playing chess against an imposing-looking middle-aged man.

”Junior apprentice brother Evergreen. If this piece lands on the board, it would be checkmate. How can you resolve this?” The middle-aged man placed his chess piece down. He actually termed the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as junior apprentice brother.

”Senior brother advanced gradually and entrenched yourself to solidify the end result you wanted at every step. I can only head deep in the depths of death and hope to find life from there.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly spoke. His chess piece also landed on the board, destroying half of his own controlled territory. But similarly, he also caused grievous damage to his opponent.

The imposing middle-aged man stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and smiled, ”Junior brother, both you and I originated from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Why must you be so stubborn? Thereʼs obviously better moves for you to make, why must you be so obstinate and choose this?”

As he spoke, the middle-aged man waved his hand, causing time to reverse as the chess pieces that were moved were reverted to their original position. He then moved the Evergreen Immortal Emperorʼs chess piece on behalf of him, and as the chess piece landed, a compromise could be seen, with other wide-ranging possibilities showing themselves.

”What does senior brother intend to do?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly asked.

”I have many descendants, all of them have outstanding talent. One among them would surely inherit my position in the future. As for junior brother, your daughter Qing`er also has extraordinary potential that was high enough to catch the eyes of Matriarch Ji. Wouldnʼt it be a wonderful thing if we form a marriage alliance between the junior generations? Wouldnʼt this prediacrement be solved easily then?”

”Qing`erʼs personality is similar to mine. No one can force her to do the things she doesnʼt want to do. As her father, Iʼm naturally unwilling to force her as well. In any case, Iʼm sure if senior brother really intends to help, you would have other ideas.” The voice of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was as calm as ever.

”In the past when I sent Daolong over to pay a visit, junior brother gave my son no face at all.” The imposing middle-aged man continued. So it turned out that his identity was none other than peak-level expert of the Eastern Region in the immortal realms, the Violet Emperor.

In the external world, only a rare few individuals knew that both the Violet Emperor and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor were of the same sect.

”Senior brother, that was truly an outrageous request, making things difficult for me. Although Iʼm not acquainted with that little fellow, he is after all, a close friend of Qing`er who came here in the capacity of a guest. If I handed him over to noble nephew Daolong back then, how would others in the immortal realms view me?” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor calmly replied.

”Junior brother is right.” The Violet Emperor laughed. He then continued, ”But how about now?”

The Violet Emperor turned his gaze onto the chess board. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor slowly inclined his head and stare right at the Violet Emperor. He then calmly spoke, ”I donʼt do things I regret. It is so in the past, as it is now, and so it will be in the future.”

”Since this is the case, I will bid my farewell then junior brother.” The Violet Emperor smiled. After which, his figure turned illusory as he vanished completely from sight.

This conversation between the two immortal emperors wasnʼt known to anyone. Regardless of people in the Evergreen Immortal Empire or Skymist Immortal Empire, they had no idea that the choice the Evergreen Immortal Emperor made a few seconds ago, had the potential to affect the entire situation.

Outside the imperial palace and within the royal capital, the signs of a storm gathering could be seen. More and more experts entered and in fact, there are even rumors saying immortal emperor experts from the Skymist Immortal Empire had also arrived, preparing to ʼfetchʼ Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze back to the Skymist Immortal Empire. For a period of time, everyone in the imperial palace was extremely jittery, bracing themselves for the coming of the raging storm.

Everyday, the Skymist Immortal Empire and the other peak powers would pressure the Evergreen Immortal Empire to honor the agreement made in the past.

But the answer from the imperial palace was that the adjudication process was nothing but a joke. They wanted to use an age-old rule to determine the future of the Evergreen Immortal Empire? How utterly ridiculous.

Both parties stuck to their own convictions. The people in the royal capital speculated that if the Evergreen Immortal Empire truly refused to honor the agreement, would the Skymist Immortal Empire truly wage a war?

Countless news flew around the royal capital. There were even rumors saying that as the Skymist Immortal Empire was waiting for the answer, they have already mobilized their troops and was preparing to attack.

Today, the Skymist Immortal Empire gave the final deadline. A month later, they would enter the imperial palace and ʼfetchʼ the princesses away. If the Evergreen Immortal Empire still refused to honor the agreement and chose to disregard the adjudication ruling, all the peak powers would instantly war against the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

The situation within the imperial palace became incomparably tensed. Everyoneʼs nerves were fraying. The Skymist Immortal Empire was too despicable and shameless. Would they really start a war?

Right now, the hearts of the nobles in the Evergreen Immortal Empire already started to waver. From the looks of the situation, the Skymist Immortal Empire seemed to be truly preparing to attack. There was only a month worth of time left.

Many people were seeking an audience with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor but the immortal emperor refused to entertain anyone. Nobody knew what he was thinking about.

The pressure on Qing`er was exceedingly great. She has been living in Princess Changpingʼs residence. Qin Wentian held on to her hand and gave it a gentle reassuring squeeze, ”Donʼt worry, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would never hand you over.”

”I know...” Qing`er replied. She wasnʼt worried that her father would hand her over to the Skymist Immortal Empire. What she was worried is the fact that the Skymist Immortal Empire might really launch attacks against the Evergreen Immortal Empire. The consequences were too dreadful to imagine.

”Qing`er.” At this very moment, a voice drifted over from their backs, causing Qin Wentian to be startled. There was actually someone that appeared behind them without him sensing anything at all.

Abruptly turning over, Qin Wentian saw an extraordinary figure. That person just casually stood there but he gave off a sense of melding perfectly together with the heaven and earth. When his foot landed on the ground, he gave the feeling of being one with it. There was a sense of an all-encompassing unity.

Qing`er had a shocked expression when she saw this man. She glanced at Qin Wentian who was beside her and her next action was actually to stretch out her hand, holding on to Qin Wentianʼs palm as their fingers interlocked. This caused Qin Wentian to have a sense of warmth in his heart. He naturally knew who this extraordinary figure was now.

”Junior Qin Wentian pays my respects to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.” Qin Wentian bowed. The man before him was none other than the supreme existence in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor had no change to his expression. He walked to the side of the lake and stood there with his hands clasped behind his back. It was like he was silently admiring the scenery here.

”Qin Wentian, you originated from a particle world, the Sky Harmony City of Chu, within the Grand Xia Empire. Your foster father is Qin Chuan, you became the sovereign monarch of Grand Xia later on, joining the Battle Sword Sect, and got acquainted with the Medicine Sovereign. You fought solo against the hegemon of your world, the Royal Sacred Sect. After destroying them, you held a marriage with the number one beauty in Chu, Mo Qingcheng.”

The eyes of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor turned ahead. There were no ripples on the lake, but Qin Wentianʼs heart was pounding rapidly.

It seems that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor was very clear on everything regarding him.

However, his state of heart soon calmed down. How could the Evergreen Immortal Emperor not pay attention to the daughter he doted upon the most? Many years ago, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor already issued an order for his subordinates to look for Qing`er. At that time, Qing`er was together with him. So how could the Evergreen Immortal Emperor not investigate everything about this young man whom his daughter chose to be with?

In the entire immortal realms, other than Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng, the person who knew the most about him was probably none other than the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

”After entering the immortal realms, you somehow got acquainted with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord and was sent to participate in the hundred-year recruitment banquet event of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. You obtained the position of top ranker but you rejected the offer to take Eastern Sage as your master. After which, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord brought you away, causing everyone to think that you are the personal disciple of the Emperor Lord. You once obtained the position of top ranker in the City of Ancient Emperors, and acquired the secret art of Ancient Emperor Yi, Godʼs Hand. In there, you defeated Zi Daoyang, and was acquainted with a Holy Maiden of the Southern Phoenix Clan, Nanfeng Yunxi. After that, you received her invite for help, and you headed over to the Southern Phoenix Immortal City to aid her in becoming the Holy Successor.”

”To repay you, the Southern Phoenix Clan divulged the location of the complete Godʼs Hand to you. You headed to the God Hand Mountain Manor and after entering, you managed to master Godʼs Hand and received the inheritance of Ancient Emperor Yi.”

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor slowly spoke, giving a concise and accurate summary of the events which happened since he was born in the Sky Harmony City. Other than those most secret matters which the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had no idea of, all the other information was extremely accurate.

Qin Wentian and Qing`er stared at the back of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Qing`er was still holding onto his hand tightly, as though wanting to pass on her energy to Qin Wentian. This act of hers was telling him that no matter what her fatherʼs decision was, she chose to stand together with him, side by side for all eternity.

”You. Do you wish to marry Qing`er?”

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor slowly turned about, turning his gaze onto Qin Wentian. Under that imposing stare, Qin Wentian felt a stifling pressure boring down on him. It was like if he said a single wrong sentence, he would have to suffer a disastrous consequence.

”I do.”

Qin Wentian stared calmly at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and spoke. The pressure on him grew stronger and stronger, causing him to perspire. When Qing`er saw this, she took a step forward and shielded Qin Wentian by standing in front of him. Those cool and beautiful eyes of hers were filled with stubbornness as she stared at her father, as though in a silent protest.

Seeing the stubborness in those eyes, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor could only sigh in his heart. ”Causing my daughter to act in this manner for the sake of you, I truly want to kill you.”

But as the sound of his voice rang out, the pressure on Qin Wentian vanished abruptly. Evidently, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didnʼt really wish to kill him.
