Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

After Luoshen Chuan learned of this from Qin Wentian, he instantly got his subordinates to spread the news throughout the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Swiftly after, many people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were in discussion. The western world was actually the main culprit behind the destruction of Ancient Azure Mystic in the past. In addition, their goal was to dominate the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, making everyone in this universe follow the buddhist path. From then on, they could collect the faith energy of the multitude of lives and achieve transcendence.

With regards to the veracity of this news, many people were still suspicious. After all, the western world was a holy ground for those of the buddhist path. The destruction of an entire immortal realm was simply too cruel. It was easier for everyone to accept if the result of that was a clash between the heavenly deities of Azure Mystic and the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. However, if the western world is said to be behind it, that felt like a conspiracy.

However, there were also some who believed it. For example, right now everyone knew that not long ago, the Grim Reaper caused darkness to descend in the holy grounds of the western world. As to what happened exactly, no one knew for sure. But maybe, there might be some things that everyone had no idea of. Hence, the recent theory about the western world wanting to dominate everything might be true.

The attitudes of people of the world weren’t important. What was important was what the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms felt.

In truth, the hegemonic powers did believe in this news. Also, they understood that this news was spread from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, and might be from Qin Wentian personally. In addition, the relationship between Qin Wentian and the Grim Reaper was extremely deep. The Grim Reaper chased away the hegemonic powers for him and even went to threaten the western world. If there was a single person who knew everything about what happened in the past, the Grim Reaper was undoubtedly that person. He was someone who had experienced that personally.

Not only that, the various hegemonic powers did have some understanding about the western world. Hence, when they heard this news, they could join the dots together and believe that this news was true.

The other hegemonic powers also felt a huge sense of pressure. This pressure came from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and the western world. Ever since the ban order on Azure Mystic was lifted, there were rumors saying that there would be a great change to the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Right now, this change was getting nearer. All of them felt pressed for time and no one could predict what would happen in the future and how this change would affect them. What they could do now was to seize this time and grow stronger.

However, what made them pessimistic was that regardless of any conditions, they weren’t comparable to the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect and western world.

The Qin Heavenly Divine Sect depended on the Heaven Vault, they had immense potential. As for the western world, it was simply a colossal.

In a palace of the Qin Clan, Qin Zheng closed his eyes in meditation. At this moment, footsteps rang out. Qin Zheng opened his eyes only to see his wife walking over. After that, she leaned against him and hugged him.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Zheng asked, his voice was filled with tenderness.

“Were we mistaken?” She softly spoke, her words causing Qin Zheng to tremble as he stared at the beauty in his arms. His deep eyes flashed with astonishment. He was extremely clear what sort of person his wife was. If this was the past, she would never have uttered such words. But now, she was actually asking were they mistaken.

“Is the pressure too great?” Qin Zheng stroked her face and asked gently.

“Back then, if we didn’t act against Qin Yuanfeng, maybe the Qin Clan now would be a supreme-tier hegemonic power, causing the others to fear us. In fact, we might have reached an unprecedented height. But now, because of our past actions, our Qin Clan declined so much.” Her voice was low, like she was doubting everything they had done in the past.

“Things have already come to this. Why bother thinking about the past? We weren’t mistaken.” Qin Zheng spoke. How could there be the distinction between right and wrong in the world? One would always consider things from their own perspectives. In that case, what they did back then was right. Because…humans are all selfish by nature.

“But, even up till now, there’s no news of Dang`er. I’m afraid that the Qin Clan might be destroyed in our hands.”

Her son was their pride. Heaven’s Son basked in boundless glory, desiring to reach the peak of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. But ever since Qin Yuanfeng’s son appeared, everything changed. The wheel of history rolled forward, their Qin Clan and Heaven’s Son Qin Dangtian faded into obscurity, no longer the main characters. All their past glory now belonged to that extraordinary young man.

“Dang`er will return, he will definitely come back. You should know where he went, he would surely become stronger than us.” Qin Zheng’s gaze flashed with determination. Qin Dangtian had experienced his darkest days, such torture was enough to cause the dao heart of a heavenly deity to collapse. But even so, he still believed that his son would make a come back and rise up again in the future. All setbacks, all humiliation, all torment would only serve to make Qin Dangtian stronger.

“Mhm.” She nodded as a hint of determination also flashed in her eyes. She also believed this. If Qin Wentian was destined to be her son’s enemy, her son would surely be able to conquer destiny.

Once, Qin Wentian treated Qin Dangtian as his destined enemy but Qin Dangtian disdained it. But now, Qin Zheng and his wife viewed Qin Wentian as the destined enemy of Qin Dangtian. However, would Qin Dangtian really be able to triumph?

…

The territory of the Che Clan was like a golden-colored world. They were an ancient clan and in a world within the Che Clan’s territory, countless experts gathered. This entire world was filled with countless divine formations, where countless people were working on weapon smithing, artifact creation and divine inscription engraving. Everyone was pursuing the acme of perfection in their craft.

This entire world was like a furnace, incomparable energy would gush forth from the sky and ground, acting as natural heat sources, contained by divine formations. Right now, in a certain location of this world, an incomparably brilliant light flashed, it was like an absolutely supreme ultimate divine weapon was being created.

Several figures stood in the air here. They were the Che Clan Leader and numerous heavenly deities. All of them stared ahead as their gazes were sharp.

This world of their Che Clan was a secret of their clan. The people here, other than the heavenly deities, were only allowed to enter and they cannot exit. They would work here for all eternity and their main purpose was to forge a certain divine weapon. But even so, those people who entered did so willingly, they were experts from the various generations of the Che Clan and their passion for artificing burned in their blood, placing all their faith in it. All of them hoped to be able to create an unrivalled supreme ultimate divine weapon in their lifetime, even if the price to pay for the creation was their deaths, they didn’t mind it.

The Che Clan was claimed to be the number one artificer aristocrat clan in the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. In truth, this world was forged by their ancestors, all for the purpose of forging a single divine weapon. If the people of the world knew about this, they would surely be filled with fear. What sort of divine weapon required the work of countless generations? How terrifying must the divine weapon be?

“Increase the work speed.” The Che Clan Leader spoke. The eyes of the deities around him gleamed with sharpness, all of them understood why their leader gave this command.

The Che Clan has already completely offended Qin Wentian. The western world was also extremely ambitious, they couldn’t depend on anyone, it was too dangerous.

The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would soon welcome a great chance. This future storm that would occur might even result in completely annihilation even for hegemonic powers. Everyone from the hegemonic powers could sense this. During the past few hundred years, too many things happened in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Even ordinary cultivators could sense that change was coming, let alone them.

Naturally, the experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were all doing their best to prepare for this storm. They would give it their all to survive, or maybe, grow even stronger.

Not only for the Qin Clan, the Che Clan was preparing too. Those hegemonic powers with deep foundations were all in preparation. Back then, in that deity-level battle in the Qin Clan, although the various hegemonic powers sent experts there, it was impossible for them to show all their trump cards. All of them naturally held some secrets back.

…

Mystic Region, Ziwei Divine Court.

Within the divine court, seven heavenly deities were gathered here today. These were the peak experts of the Ziwei Divine Court. The sect leader was a middle-aged man with the title Ziwei Star Sovereign. He had a purple crown on his head and exuded imposingness.

At this moment, the Ziwei Star Sovereign was staring at a young man with a pale face that sat opposite him. “Yue Changkong, where have you been during all these days?”

“Star Sovereign, don’t you already know the answer? Why bother asking?” Yue Changkong inclined his head and stared at the Ziwei Star Sovereign while calmly replying.

“Impudent. Yue Changkong, should this be your attitude when speaking to the Star Sovereign?” A heavenly deity berated. Back then, Yue Changkong devoured his master and replaced him. In order to avoid the loss of a heavenly deity, the Ziwei Star Sovereign decided to accept Yue Changkong. After all, a heavenly deity was of immense important to any hegemonic powers. It was impossible for them to give up on one just like that.

But the current Yue Changkong already caused the Ziwei Star Sovereign to feel some threat. It was more and more difficult to control Yue Changkong. From what he knew, ever since the Divine Ox Clan was exterminated in the Desolate Region, Yue Changkong had vanished. And after that, countless lives in the Desolate Region mysteriously vanished.

The Ziwei Star Sovereign glanced at Yue Changkong, his gaze was cold as he spoke, “Why is the restriction energy I placed on you growing weaker? Are you trying to remove it?”

“Trying?” Yue Changkong mockingly laughed. After that, his body disappeared as black fog manifested. After that, a terrifying destructive might was generated from the black fog, as though it was capable of destroying everything. The restriction shattered almost instantly. Upon sensing the might of that attack, the eyes of the Ziwei Star Sovereign narrowed. After that, the black fog vanished as Yue Changkong’s body materialized again. Yue Changkong was laughing as he stared at the Star Sovereign.

Back then, although he has accepted Yue Changkong, but for the sake of controlling him, the Ziwei Star Sovereign left a powerful restriction on Yue Changkong’s body. But now, that restriction was shattered effortlessly by Yue Changkong.

“How did you do it?” The Ziwei Star Sovereign coldly asked.

Yue Changkong didn’t reply but a mocking smile could be seen on his pale face. After that, a giant face manifested behind him.

“Your party tricks can only be considered a minor dao. You wished to restrict me with that?” That giant face sneered. However, its voice was different from Yue Changkong. The heavenly deities of the Ziwei Divine Court all froze when they saw this scene, before turning their gazes back to Yue Changkong.

“What technique is this?” The Ziwei Star Sovereign asked icily.

“This isn’t a technique. He is a real existence.” Yue Changkong slowly spoke.

“Is he transformed from a part of your spirit?”

“No.” Yue Changkong shook his head. “As my cultivation progressed, he was suddenly born. He said that he is me from a previous life.”

The hearts of the heavenly deities all trembled. They could feel that Yue Changkong was now different from the past. He actually had a past life?

“Who?” The Ziwei Star Sovereign asked.

“You guys are just a bunch of ant-like heavenly deities. From now onwards, I will be in control of the Ziwei Divine Court.” That giant face sinisterly spoke.

“I’m the one in control.” Yue Changkong spoke in a glacial tone.

“What’s the difference between you and me?” The giant face replied.

“You are you. I am I, Yue Changkong.” Yue Changkong’s tone was filled with a hint of stubbornness.

“What was his name in the past?” The expression of the Ziwei Star Sovereign drastically changed. He stared ahead, that giant face was also looking at him. From it, the Ziwei Star Sovereign could feel a strong sense of pressure.
