Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After several days, inside an elegant-looking courtyard, there was a sword, a saber, a robe and a mask before Qin Wentian. He placed the mask on his face, and as his astral energy seeped into it, the mask gradually melded together perfectly with Qin Wentian’s features.
Before Qin Wentian, Feng Zhu and Feng Qianxue were there as well. They stared at Qin Wentian and when the mask finishing melding with his features, there seemed to a be a mysterious and blurry sensation when they looked at him.
“Awesome! Sister, how did you manage to create such a mask? I have no way to recognize brother Qin. Clearly, he doesn’t seem to be wearing a mask at all, yet there’s a blurry sensation when I stare at him.” Feng Zhu exclaimed.
“I used the rune bone of the Sky Phantom Beast as the main material, as well as the skin of some powerful illusion-type creatures. This mask contains no attacking properties but there’s nothing more suitable if one requires concealment.” Feng Qianxue smiled.
“I see. No wonder it feels so mysterious. To think that there are so many illusion-type materials being used.”
“This set of divine robes can also conceal your identity. Other than that, it also provides a boost to your defense and can meld with your skin, capable of changing its form according to your desires.” Feng Qianxue pointed at the set of robes.
“Mhm.” Qin Wentian could sense the fluctuations of illusory energy from the robes as well. However, he wasn’t in a hurry to put them on. He first took the sword and saber in his hands as he infused his energy within. A moment later, a fearsome sharpness erupted from both the sword and saber.
“I’ve not determined the attribute energy for the weapons yet. After all, the attribute laws we are proficient in are different. But even so, I’ve inscribed many minor formations into their cores that would interact with all the different kinds of law attribute energy. There are enchantments that would increase attack, heighten the sword speed, etc. Do you think they are alright?” Feng Qianxue asked Qin Wentian.
“They are very excellent. Qianxue, I have to really thank you.” Qin Wentian spoke with gratitude. The mask and robes could conceal his identity while the sword and saber were for his attacks. He cannot use weapons he used before or others would be easily able to guess his identity and this might cause his whereabouts to leak to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
“Oh, by the way, Feng Zhu and Qianxue. I still need to trouble you two to keep this a secret for me.” Qin Wentian spoke to the two of them.
“Understood.” Feng Zhu nodded. They knew that Qin Wentian might have powerful enemies. Feng Qianxue also nodded in agreement.
“However, those people from before have seen the true face of Brother Qin. Will they be a problem?” Feng Zhu asked.
“That’s simple.” Qin Wentian smiled. With an intention, his masked features melted away as the mask fell off, causing his real face to appear. “I’ll use my original features for now and after I leave, I will put on the mask then. No one would be any wiser.”
“That’s true.” Feng Zhu laughed.
“Who?” At this moment, as Qin Wentian kept the weapons, he suddenly frowned and turned to a direction. Clearly, someone was using immortal sense to spy on them. This was an extremely rude behaviour.
Feng Qianxue was also frowning. After that, a cold voice drifted over. “The holy maiden of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect? Truly excellent, you said that the time limit we gave you is too short but you are still free to flirt around here now under the moonlight?”
“I will definitely finish the things I’ve promised. I will create the divine weapons you guys require. But now, don’t you feel you are being too overbearing, using your immortal sense to spy on us?” The beautiful face of Feng Qianxue had an expression of frost. This place was the holy maiden manor and there usually wouldn’t be any barriers to isolate immortal sense because simply, no one would dare to be so rude to spy on the holy maidens. However, these people from the Sacred Sun Sect were simply too impolite.
“Just a warning, the enemies of your sect are already here.” That voice coldly snorted. Feng Qianxue frowned, she sent out her immortal sense only to discover many experts from her sect currently flying to a direction. There’s a group of immortal kings that just entered their sect.
Qin Wentian also sent out his immortal sense. He could tell that the aura of these people were all extremely terrifying. It was considered very rarely seen for an ordinary emperor-ranked power to send out so many immortal kings.
“They are the Sky Bell Cult, Divine Inscription Palace and Vajra Sect.” Feng Zhu frowned as a look of worry appeared in his eyes.
“The other three emperor-ranked powers of the Eastern Tomb Immortal City?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. In the Eastern Tomb Immortal City, there were a total of four emperor-ranked powers, namely the Sky Bell Cult, Divine Inscription Palace, Vajra Sect and the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. These four were all remnants of the previously extremely powerful Eastern Tomb Holy Temple of the past. Right now, the three other major powers arrived at the same time. This was very unusual. No wonder there are so many immortal kings, so they are actually from three different emperor-ranked powers.
“Mhm, the people of my sect are currently rushing there. Let us go and take a look too.” Feng Zhu spoke. The three of them then flew through the air. Feng Qianxue was frowning, there was a rumor in the city before and now, it seems like that particular rumor was true. The other three emperor-ranked powers might be preparing to betray the Eastern Tomb.
Not long after, Qin Wentian and the other two had already arrived. There was a total of a few hundred immortal kings that came here. The experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall arrived too. They all had a look of interest, as though they were going to watch a drama.
“Holy Maiden Qianxue has arrived.” In the direction of the Sky Bell Cult, a young immortal king stared at Feng Qianxue, his eyes gleaming with a bright light. His heart was moved by her beauty. This Feng Qianxue was very famous in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City. Many immortal kings all wanted to pursue her.
“What do you all mean by this?” An old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke, staring at the immortal kings from the other three powers.
“Let’s seal this place first.” An expert spoke. After that, one of the experts flew up into the air and tossed out a treasure. In an instant, a terrifying beam of light shot up into the sky, sparkling with runic light. The treasure turned into an incomparably gigantic bell that hovered in the sky, casting down a huge area of light that sealed this space.
The expressions of the experts from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect turned sharp, staring at these people.
“Today, we came here to propose a marriage. We invite the saint childs and holy maidens of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to become a part of us, marrying into our sects.” An expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace spoke, his words causing the people from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to all have ugly expressions.
The Blackmetal Emperor Sect didn’t have many saint childs and holy maidens, all of them were their elites and their numbers were truly very little. These three powers actually wanted to absorb all their elites away?
“Impossible.” That old man from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect instantly objected. “Although there’s competition between us, the four remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple, our relationship could still be considered harmonious. By doing this, are you guys planning to steal away the inheritance of our Blackmetal Emperor Sect?”
“Listen to me.” That expert from the Divine Inscriptions Palace spoke. “The four remnant powers have chances to receive inheritances from the Holy Book through the generations. Although this is a secret to the external world, all of us are very clear that for those who could receive the inheritance, they were all geniuses with extremely high attainments in weaponsmithing through the generations. So what if you all send the saint children and holy maidens of this generation into our sect? For the next and ones after that, you all will still have many saint children and holy maidens.”
“Holy Book?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. To think that the rumor of the Eastern Tomb was true. The once glorious Eastern Tomb Holy Temple still had ancient inheritances remaining. In addition, all four of the remnant powers in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City knew of this secret.
“You guys can also bask in the holy radiance and peruse the Holy Book. Why do you all want the elites of my Blackmetal Emperor Sect?” That old elder angrily spoke. The other experts of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect all had cold looks in their eyes as they stared at the other three powers.
“Only the Blackmetal Emperor Sect is proficient in weaponsmithing.” That expert from the Divine Inscriptions Sect replied.
“What if I disagree?” The old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke.
“If you disagree, the Blackmetal Emperor Sect can never come into contact with the inheritance of the Eastern Tomb ever again.” An expert from the Vajra Sect coldly spoke. His skin was bronze in color and an extremely steel-like aura could be felt from him. His entire body was like a divine weapon, tyrannical to the extreme.
“You all are going too far.” The old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect had a cold expression on his face as anger radiated from him.
“Everyone, why must you all be so angry? For the remnants of the Eastern Tomb, the four emperor-ranked powers of the city, it would be a tremendous loss for Eastern Tomb if any of you lost your portion of inheritance. Why don’t all of you join forces, reuniting as one and return the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple to its former glory?” At this moment, that leader from the Sacred Sun Sect spoke, causing all the experts here to turn to him.
“How can it be so easy to reunite? Each of the four emperor-ranked powers already has their own deeply rooted foundations. If we were to unite, who would be the leader and which of the other three have to submit?” That old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect asked.
“I have a suggestion. Why don’t the four remnants powers of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple reunite? Each power will have equal status while my sect, the Sacred Sun Sect, as well as the Thunder God Hall, will serve as the linkage and aid you guys to develop and grow stronger. How about it?” That leader from the Sacred Sun Sect continued.
“Mhm, this suggestion isn’t bad. I agree to it.” The leader from the Thunder God Hall nodded. However, the expressions of everyone from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect all froze. So it turns out that the weapon orders from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall were false. This was their true purpose in coming here.
In addition, there is no doubt that these two peak powers have formed an alliance. If the four remnant powers of the Eastern Tomb falls under their control, all of them would be swallowed up and assimilated without a doubt in the future.
“If this is the case, my Sky Bell Cult has no objections.”
“The Divine Inscriptions Palace agrees too.”
“The Vajra Sect agrees.” The three powers all expressed their attitude, causing the expressions of the people of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to all turn ashen. So it turned out that they are the only one remaining that has not submitted yet. The other three remnants of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple had already betrayed what they stood for and chose to submit.
What did the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall do exactly, causing these three powers to submit? One must know that there’s a reason why the Eastern Tomb Immortal City wasn’t under the control of any peak powers for such a long time. If these four remnant powers worked together, they could even borrow the power of the ancient ruins that were the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple.
But now, three of the remnant powers actually submitted. There didn’t seem to be any more path of survival remaining for the Blackmetal Emperor Sect.
“The Blackmetal Emperor Sect is finished.” Qin Wentian silently mused. There was no way to reverse such a situation. Seems like the peak powers have started to expand their scope of control, gaining more strength so as to handle the intense commotion that would rock the immortal realms in the very near future!
