Chapter 1035: Invitation from Afar
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After several months, everyone had settled down in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. The territory an immortal emperor-ranked force had, was extremely vast, able to station millions of troops.
Qin Wentian's kin and close friends were all staying at his courtyard but during these months, there were also people who went out to roam the prefecture. Everyone was awed by the strength of the immortal sect, as they sighed in admiration at Qin Wentian's capabilities. This made them also want to seek out their own good fortune, wanting to get stronger. Hence, they wanted to broaden their horizons by exploring the immortal realms.
Qin Wentian didn't obstruct them. This place was the immortal realms. If they kept depending on the protection of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, although they would be safe, their lives would be one of boredom.
The immortal realms are boundless. Even for Qin Wentian, he had only explored a corner of it. The entire thirteen prefectures were nothing but a random region.
Today, at the cultivation platform Qin Wentian was at, an ancient cauldron could be seen there along with Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng.
"Is it really that dangerous?" Mo Qingcheng stared at Qin Wentian as she asked.
"Mhm, the Sacred Luminance is within the cauldron. The Sacred Luminance is a treasure that can baptize stellar martial cultivators with holy radiance from the ancient times, enable one to shed one's mortal body and change a set of bones. In addition, without a powerful physique, there's basically no way to withstand the force of the Sacred Luminance. I have a friend who has extraordinary talent and a powerful physique but when he was baptized, if it wasn't for his own powerful will, he wouldn't be able to persist on till the end. Qingcheng, the you now still wouldn't be able to withstand this. Hence, I want you to cultivate your physique first."
Qin Wentian spoke to Mo Qingcheng.
"Okay, I will listen to you." Mo Qingcheng nodded her head lightly.
Qin Wentian's hands cupped Mo Qingcheng's face while Little Rascal on the ground inclined his head, appearing to be extremely proud of something. This fellow and Purgatory had also once been baptized by the Sacred Luminance.
"Let's go out." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. With a wave of his hand, he kept the cauldron. Both this cauldron and the Sacred Luminance were supreme treasures. In the future after he gets stronger, he can use the Sacred Luminance to trade for things or seek favors from peak-level characters. However, that time was not now. He was too weak currently, and if the fact that he had Sacred Luminance was exposed, the circumstances would surely be dire.
Qin Wentian and Mo Qingcheng returned to his courtyard. Luo Huan and Qin Yao were there waiting for him and upon noting his return, Luo Huan giggled, "What a pair of intimate lovers. Even your sister and senior sister are abandoned by you."
"Sister Luo Huan, don't tease him any more." Qin Yao smiled. "Wentian, the teachers you found for us are truly not bad. Our improvements are extremely great and the sect is willing to use the cultivation resources for us. I feel like there's a qualitative improvement in my potential, even father and uncle improved with god-like speed."
"Sis, those teachers are immortal king experts. I had to thicken my skin and invite them to give guidance to everyone. As for the cultivation resources, think nothing of them. Sisters, both your cultivation levels are still low and it's easy to solidify your foundations." Qin Wentian smiled. The talents of Qin Yao and the others could only be considered ordinary in the immortal realms. It was easy to improve their potential by using cultivation resources in the immortal realms. And because they were weak, it was very easy for them to improve. But even so, it was impossible for them to soar too fast in their cultivation in a single leap. They still had to walk down the path step-by-step.
"I know you are awesome." Qin Yao smiled. "These few days, you must have been helping Qingcheng. Or are you two preparing to have a baby soon?"
"Sister, don't tease me. I don't show favoritism. Qingcheng's current cultivation level is higher than you guys, so the way for her to cultivate is naturally also different in comparison. No matter what help I gave Qingcheng, I would give them to you guys sooner or later." Qin Wentian shrugged.
"Okay, I know you won't mistreat us." Qin Yao smiled. She and Luo Huan were naturally only just joking around with him.
"Have you all gotten used to living here?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Not bad. The environment here is very good. It's only that I feel like going out to roam a little occasionally." Qin Yao spoke.
"Mhm, right now the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect is preparing to fortify the entire Cloud Prefecture making it so that no one can invade. Wait until their preparations are done before you head out." Qin Wentian smiled. Just this capital city of the Cloud Prefecture was already as large as their particle world. Given the cultivation bases of Qin Yao and Luo Huan, they wouldn't even be able to walk out of the Cloud Prefecture so there was nothing much for them to worry about.
Qin Wentian also knew that there were many peak-tier powers in the immortal realms that stayed in the capital city. The information network had a tight web on things and once any external powers entered their territory, the major powers would know. The capital city was filled with countless powers and their businesses. But sadly, with the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect's current foundation, they were still far from enough to control the tangled up and complicated network of powers in the Cloud Prefecture. They needed time before they can achieve absolute control.
"Senior brother!" At this moment, a clear voice drifted over. Qin Wentian had a look of joy on his face when he heard that voice.
"Mengchen, come over." Qin Wentian called out. Very swiftly, a handsome young man appeared before Qin Wentian.
"You've finished your seclusion. Not bad." Qin Wentian smiled when he regarded Jun Mengchen. His junior brother's aura has changed, and became even more extraordinary.
"Senior brother, you finished your seclusion much earlier than mine." Jun Mengchen laughed. Qin Wentian wasn't surprised that Jun Mengchen also succeeded. Jun Mengchen's talent was already extremely outstanding. Back then, he had also undergone the baptism of the Sacred Luminance and both their cultivation bases were at the peak of Celestial Phenomenon.
"There's not much difference in the timing when it comes to establishing our immortal foundations." Qin Wentian smiled.
"I heard that senior brother returned home to your particle world. Are all these ladies my sister-in-laws?" Jun Mengchen laughed loudly. The three women around Qin Wentian were all beauties. This was especially so for Mo Qingcheng. Her aura was transcendent just like a celestial, and looked truly compatible with his senior brother Qin Wentian. Her looks actually didn't lose out to Princess Qing`er. This senior brother of his was truly awesome indeed.
"Don't talk nonsense." Qin Wentian glared at Jun Mengchen as he continued, "This is your sister-in-law Mo Qingcheng. This is my senior sister Luo Huan, and my elder sister Qin Yao. Everyone, this is my junior apprentice brother Jun Mengchen."
"Mengchen greets sister-in-law, elder sister Luo Huan, elder sister Qin Yao." Jun Mengchen politely nodded. Although he was also an immortal now, he behaved like a big child.
"Little brother, that's really obedient of you." Luo Huan walked to Jun Mengchen's side and ruffled the hair on his head, causing Jun Mengchen to have a face full of black lines.
"Sister Luo Huan, this…" Jun Mengchen felt like he was on the verge of breaking down. Was Luo Huan treating him like a little boy?
"What's wrong? I treat Wentian the same way too. Since you are his junior apprentice brother, there's no difference." Luo Huan giggled. Jun Mengchen glanced pleadingly at Qin Wentian, but Qin Wentian had a wide smile on his face and was pretending that he didn't see anything.
"Senior brother, when I came, the Emperor Lord ask me to bring word to you. He needs us to gather at his location." Jun Mengchen hurriedly spoke.
"The Emperor Lord?" Qin Wentian's eyes flashed.
"Mhm." Jun Mengchen nodded.
"Okay, let's go." Qin Wentian spoke. Luo Huan didn't make things difficult for Jun Mengchen and allowed the two of them to leave.
Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen came to the emperor palace where the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord resided. However, the Emperor Lord wasn't there at this moment, and the person waiting for them there instead was an immortal king named the Taishan Immortal King.
The Taishan Immortal King had a deep connection with the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, and was always by his side, following him for numerous years.
"Senior." Qin Wentian called out.
"Wentian, there's a guest that sent an invitation card for you." The Taishan Immortal King spoke. After that, he waved his hand as an invitation card appeared in the air and floated over to Qin Wentian.
Qin Wentian took it. Upon glancing through it, he smiled. "Nanfeng Yunxi has also succeeded in establishing her immortal foundation and became an immortal."
"Nanfeng Yunxi was ranked #3 on the Immortal Ascension Rankings long ago. It's very normal for her to succeed." Jun Mengchen spoke. "Is this invitation sent over by Nanfeng Yunxi?"
"Mhm. To celebrate her success, the Southern Phoenix Clan wants to organize an immortal banquet. However, given how far away the Southern Phoenix Clan is, why would they sent people to rush here to deliver this invitation to me?" Qin Wentian felt puzzled as he turned to the Taishan Immortal King.
"Wouldn't you know if you went?" The Taishan Immortal King smiled.
"Yeah, who knows, maybe Nanfeng Yunxi fell in love with you and wants to use this chance to know you better." Jun Mengchen teased. Qin Wentian rolled his eyes at him. He felt that there must certainly be some other reason for Nanfeng Yunxi to invite him over. It wouldn't be so simple just to invite him for the banquet.
"Senior, do you feel that I should go?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Nanfeng Yunxi is a descendant of the Southern Phoenix Matriarch and is one of the future successors of the Southern Phoenix Clan. She should have plenty of competitors vying with her. However, the Southern Phoenix Clan is located in the Southern Phoenix City. It's truly a vast city controlled completely by their clan. The rules there are set by the Southern Phoenix Clan and it's one of the safest places in the immortal realms. Immortal kings would all be monitored once they entered that place. You can take this chance to experience more things and broaden your horizons." The Taishan Immortal King smiled.
"Okay, I will head there together with Mengchen to witness the splendor of the Southern Phoenix City then." Qin Wentian nodded. He wanted an opportunity to head out to temper himself. Since the Taishan Immortal King felt it was a good idea for him to go, this opportunity must truly be good.
"Mhm, you guys go ahead and prepare. Our Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect has already prepared a teleportation array that can connect directly to the Southern Phoenix City." The Taishan Immortal King spoke. After that, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen headed back. Qin Wentian went to settle some things and bid farewell to Mo Qingcheng and his friends before they headed out on an expedition to the Southern Phoenix City.
