The people from the Paragon Sword Sect came under the pretext of a visit. What could the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect do?

Either they made the immortal kings remain outside, or they invited them into the sect as guests. If they chose the former option, they wouldnʼt have the bearing and attitude of an emperor-ranked power at all.

”Since this is the case, everyone please follow me into the sect to get some rest. However, I hope everyone can comply with the rules of our sect,” an immortal king from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect voiced out.

”Thatʼs only natural.” The experts from the Paragon Sword Sect nodded. Both sides were extremely polite, without a trace of anger in their attitudes. They were chatting just like old friends, and didnʼt seem to be enemies on opposing sides.

The people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect arranged lodgings for the immortal kings from the Paragon Sword Sect and even assigned some maids to serve them. However, the purpose of the immortal kings from the Paragon Sword Sect was still not fulfilled after a long time, they werenʼt able to meet with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.

As an immortal emperor as well as the master of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. It was effortless if he wanted to find a reason to reject the visit of these immortal kings. Who else could say anything about that?

As for the intentions of the Paragon Sword Sect, everyone was extremely clear in their hearts. They were naturally here for Qin Wentian. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord couldnʼt be bothered to explain anything, he directly refused to meet with them.

With regards to Qin Wentian, he had already left the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect for the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

----------

Right now in the residence of Princess Changping, within the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, a figure appeared there.

When Princess Changping saw Qin Wentian and his group, her beautiful eyes flashed with a warm and gentle smile.

”Little fellow, you truly improved a lot during this stint in the sacred academy.” Princess Changping smiled.

”Princess praises me too much. I hope that Princess would forgive me for my sudden arrival today.” Qin Wentian bowed.

”No worries, this imperial palace will be your home anyway in the future. You can visit whenever you like to. However, Qing`er hasnʼt returned from Matriarch Jiʼs side yet.” Princess Changping led Qin Wentian into her residence as she spoke. ”Fifty years ago, our Evergreen Immortal Empire faced numerous experts from different peak powers but we gained fifty years of peace due to the appearance of the sacred academy. Right now, a storm is coming. You have entered into the center of the storm.”

”Iʼm already embroiled in it whether I want to or not. Itʼs impossible for me even if I didnʼt want to bother with it.” Qin Wentian shook his head.

”Iʼm really very curious as to what happened exactly in the sacred academy. You might not know this but some days ago, my elder brother said that our Evergreen Immortal Empire would be facing the most dangerous trial since our establishment. The level of danger far surpassed the internal warfare back then.” Princess Changping stared at the peaceful-looking floating clouds, knowing that this were merely the calm before the storm.

The various powers of the Eastern Regions were closely monitoring their Evergreen Immortal Empire. Princess Changping knew that currently in the imperial city, many immortal kings of the other powers have appeared.

”Somethings are destined to happen, itʼs impossible to avoid them.” Qin Wentian thought back to his experience in the sacred academy. The fifty years spent there was like a dream.

During those fifty years, regardless to him or Qing`er, it was extremely important. They both experienced a baptism of sorts.

”What will come, will come. No matter who wants to touch my Evergreen Immortal Empire, they would need to pay a painful price. We can only wait and see who would be so bold as to truly act upon their greed.” Princess Changpingʼs eyes gleamed with sharpness. Although she was a female, the powerful immortal king might radiating from her at this instant, was redoubtable.

”Wentian, just rest at my residence for these few days.”

Qin Wentian nodded lightly in response.

...….

Right now in another location within the Eastern Regions, at the peak of an ancient mountain where immortal mist gathers, a beautiful and majestic manor could be seen there.

On the pathway leading up to it, the scenery around was of breathtaking beauty. A group of maidens could be seen standing at the edge of the mountain peak atop a huge rock, as they stared into the horizons.

”Qing`er, the people from the various peak powers have all headed to the imperial city of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Qin Wentian also received news and he is currently already in Princess Changpingʼs residence.” A maiden walked over and spoke to Qing`er.

”Thank you senior sister.” Qing`er replied.

”You can head back first. If thereʼs anything that happen, we will instantly activated the teleportation array to aid you.”

”Mhm.” Qing`er nodded.

Right now in the Southern Phoenix Clan, Nanfeng Guhong was sitting in an ancient hall as someone delivered an info report to her.

”The teleportation array leading to the Evergreen Immortal Empire and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect is already ready. Right now, many immortal kings from the Paragon Sword Sect have paid a visit to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, they must be monitoring the situation. Qin Wentian has also gone to the Evergreen Immortal Empire while the other peak powers would also head to the Evergreen Immortal Empire.” The person reported.

So it turned out that some time ago, the Southern Phoenix Clan has already contacted the Evergreen Immortal Empire and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. These three powers temporarily formed an alliance and they allowed the Southern Phoenix Clan to set up a teleportation array that would lead to the inner areas of the royal palace of both the Evergreen Immortal Empire as well as the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

This kind of teleportation array would never be possible to set up if not for an alliance between them. One must know that once the array was established, the Southern Phoenix Clanʼs army could instantly appear inside the Evergreen Immortal Empire and the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. How frightening was this?

But in these troubled times, both the Evergreen Immortal Empire and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect actually agreed straightforwardly.

”Understood.” Nanfeng Guhong nodded her head. An expression of interest gleamed in her eyes as she spoke in a low-sounding voice, ”Because of a few youngsters, they actually caused a commotion large enough to affect the various peak powers in the immortal realms. Such an incident is without precedent!”

...

Right now, even the ordinary people living in the imperial city of the Evergreen Immortal Empire could feel that the atmosphere was different.

During these few days, there would frequently be terrifying characters who appeared in groups, belonging to various major powers. Also, many of these people were immortal kings.

In a place like the Evergreen Immortal Empireʼs imperial capital, it wasnʼt strange to see immortal kings. But when so many immortal kings of different major powers gathered here, this was clearly extremely rare. There wouldnʼt be so many groups of immortal kings and according to news that was circulated around the Evergreen Immortal Empire, groups of immortal kings could be seen in four to five different locations as well.

Also, these immortal kings didnʼt bother masking themselves, making their presence directly known as they entered the core territory which was the imperial city in huge groups.

Also, these were merely those moving in the open. It was unknown how many were there in the dark, monitoring each and every one of the movements of the royal palace.

These hidden currents surged in the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Qing`er has already returned and was together with Qin Wentian.

Today, in the vast imperial city that was covered by the warmth of the sunlight, the bright weather caused the moods of everyone to be happier as well.

In an location not far away from the royal palace, a group of experts could be seen flying through the air, moving towards the direction of the royal palace.

At this moment, countless people inclined their heads, staring at the figures flying through the air.

Were the hidden currents about to erupt forth?

These experts soared through the air in an imposing manner. In another direction, another group of experts were similarly also flying in the direction towards the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. All those experts from the different powers stationed in different parts of the imperial city, seemed to have received the same order and were flying in unison towards the royal palace.

Finally, the first batch of experts arrived. A loud voice then boomed through the interiors of the royal palace.

”The Skymist Immortal Empire is here to escort the two princesses from the Evergreen Immortal Empire back for marriage!”

This voice was like a thunderclap, echoing throughout all corners of the palace. Even everyone in the imperial city could hear it.

That year, the Skymist Immortal Empire forced the adjudication ruling with the various other peak powers of the Eastern Regions, requesting for Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze to be married into the royal clan of their Skymist Immortal Empire. The Evergreen Immortal Empire naturally rejected and a battle actually erupted within.

Among those who sided with the Skymist Immortal Empire, there were the Violet Emperor Sect, the Paragon Sword Sect, the Sky Demon Palace and the Taihua Immortal Dynasty. All of them agreed that the adjudication ruling was effective.

However, how could the Evergreen Immortal Empire agree? At that time, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor summoned the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, causing all the major powers in the immortal realms to stop what they were doing and focus on it. The adjudication ruling was also temporarily set aside and right now, it was said that an intense shocking war already broke out within the members of the younger generations at the immortal-foundation realm who entered the sacred academy.

For those who managed to walk out of the sacred academy alive, after the passage of countless years, how many more would still be alive? And among them, how many out of these people would be able to truly stand at the peak? Most probably, the number of these people can be counted on a single hand.

The immortal realms were extremely cruel. If one wanted to climb up to the peak, they only had two choices. First, to either stand on countless numbers of corpses of their fellow geniuses, or second, be one of those that were trampled upon.

This was the destiny of geniuses.

Right now from the Evergreen Immortal Empire, some experts also soared through the air, staring from afar at the experts from the Skymist Immortal Empire who were outside the royal palace.

”This isnʼt the era of ancient emperors any more. What do you mean by invoking the adjudication? Everyone, please return to your Skymist Empire.” A voice rang out from the Evergreen Immortal Empire. How could they give up the two princesses?

”The appearance of the scared academy is a prediction and indication that the era of ancient emperors would once again appear. This means that the adjudication ruling is effective and as part of the ruling council, us from the Paragon Sword Sect request the Evergreen Immortal Empire to obey the ruling.” From another direction, a voice rang out.

”We hope that the Evergreen Immortal Empire would hand the princesses over.”

”We beseech the Evergreen Immortal Empire to honor the adjudication ruling.”

From different directions, voices rang out continuously. Each voice that rang out represented a different peak power. At this instant, everyone understood that these major powers were finally going to act for real.

But now, at the teleportation array area of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, a burst of brilliant light and spatial fluctuations rocked the surroundings. A group of experts then appeared, as they all moved forward.

These experts were actually all female, exuding a magnificence that could last throughout the generations.

The disciples of Matriarch Ji have arrived.

In the residence of Princess Changping, Qin Wentian and Qing`er stood together. Although Qin Wentianʼs countenance was calm, his heart was ice-cold. All the other major powers seemed to have chosen to gather in the Evergreen Immortal Empire. They all knew that both Qing`er and himself would be here.

”My senior apprentice sisters have arrived.” Qing`er spoke as she saw that intense burst of light.

”Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded his head.

The wind gusted by, the disciples of Matriarch Ji stared in the distance coldly. One of them then asked, ”The Skymist Immortal Empire is forcing my junior apprentice sister into a marriage against her will? Have you sought the opinion of my master, Matriarch Ji?”

”This matter is an agreement between our Skymist Immortal Empire and the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Itʼs best that Matriarch Ji doesnʼt interfere in this.” A voice replied back in a domineering tone, filled with a certainty that they would obtain what they wanted today for sure.
