Chapter 1327: Not Returning Until He Reaches Immortal King
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Evergreen Immortal Emperor naturally wouldn’t go and influence Qin Wentian’s thinking. The Evergreen Immortal Empire’s royal palace also had a direct teleportation array to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. After Qin Wentian reluctantly said goodbye to Qing`er, he returned to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.
In the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, in Qin Wentian’s residence, after spending one day with his friends and family, Qin Wentian, Mo Qingcheng, Purgatory and Little Rascal were finally alone together. Qin Wentian then spoke, "I am preparing to enter seclusion but I’m unsure how long it will take. It might be quite a long time. I will only exit seclusion after I break through to the immortal king realm."
"Ai, you just came back and are already preparing to enter seclusion? How boring." Little Rascal spoke in a childish voice.
"You should stop idling. I already asked the Taishan Immortal King for help. After I enter seclusion, there will be people bringing you and Purgatory to the mountain range of desolation located in the northern regions. You must take good care of Purgatory." Qin Wentian rapped Little Rascal on his head.
Little Rascal instantly tensed, he glared at Qin Wentian, "The legendary Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range? A world of demonic beasts? Do you bear to toss me, this little treasure away into such a cruel place?"
"Of course." Qin Wentian wasn’t polite as he smiled.
"Qingcheng!" Little Rascal had a look of being wronged on his face as he stared at Mo Qingcheng, as his voice was filled with a pleading tone.
"Little Rascal, you are simply too lazy. Don’t waste your talent. The Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range is a paradise for demons. Maybe, you might meet your same kind there." Mo Qingcheng smiled.
"It should be hell for demonic beasts instead!" Little Rascal’s mouth twitched, glaring at both Mo Qingcheng and Qin Wentian. In truth, Qin Wentian was a little unwilling, he had long treated Little Rascal and Purgatory as his kin although they were demonic beasts. No matter what, their cultivation bases have already reached a certain level. It was still better for them to go to a place like the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range.
"Remember to protect Purgatory well. If not, I will look for you to account the debt." Qin Wentian continued to rap lightly on Little Rascal’s head.
"Oh. Little Purgatory must be more obedient to me." Little Rascal then leapt up and stood on Purgatory’s shoulder, stretching out its paws as it gently stroked Purgatory’s hair. This caused Purgatory to roll her eyes as a look of contempt appeared on her face.
"You two can leave first." Qin Wentian stared at the two little fellows as he laughed. Purgatory nodded her head lightly and brought Little Rascal away.
Mo Qingcheng leaned against Qin Wentian and spoke in a gentle voice, "The Evergreen Immortal Emperor already betrothed elder sis Qing`er to you. Have you all set a wedding date yet?"
"I’m entering seclusion this time around because of this matter. We met with some trouble in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, and the other peak powers who lost the adjudication battle weren’t willing to give up just like this. We will discuss the wedding after I break through to the immortal king realm." Qin Wentian replied softly. He then continued, "Qingcheng, this time around, I also asked the Emperor Lord for help to make some arrangements for you. The plan is to send you to an emperor-ranked sect for cultivation, would you blame me for this?"
"I will listen to you." Mo Qingcheng smiled sweetly.
"Mhm, Qingcheng, since you can enter the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy, your talent is already considered very good. You have to work hard to cultivate as well and catch up to me." Qin Wentian smiled and pulled her into his arms. His so-called seclusion was naturally to directly enter the Heavenly Talisman Realm. The rules of the Heavenly Talisman Realm were extremely strict, he wasn’t able to divulge any info on it. Hence, he planned to sneak away silently as it would be the safest. This way, Qingcheng didn’t need to worry about him too much.
As for sending Qingcheng away to cultivate, he had always thought about this before. It was just that before this, Qingcheng’s talent was only normal. Even if there was immortal kings instructing her, she wouldn’t amount to too much. Now that Qingcheng had experienced the sacred academy, there shouldn’t be too much of a problem to send her to an emperor-ranked power for cultivation.
Not only so, this time around, he would send his senior apprentice sister Luo Huan, elder sister Qin Yao and the others to different places suited for them for their cultivation as well. The war between the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect and Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had never ceased and that year back then, both Qin Yao and Luo Huan had encountered danger. Even the Cloud Prefecture wasn’t a place of absolute safety and it would be too boring for them to keep them inside the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect forever. Also, despite the fact that their talents were weaker, they still needed to improve their cultivation bases or their lifeforce would dwindle much more quickly in comparison to him.
As for himself, for this seclusion, if there were no major things happening, Qin Wentian planned only to return after he entered the immortal king realm. This was his determination.
After another period of time, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect secretly sent Qin Wentian’s kin to different places for their cultivation. Little Rascal and Purgatory left as well, being sent to the Desolate Ten Thousand Mountain Range. Qingcheng also left. Although she was a little reluctant, she left with a smile on her face. She knew that she should work hard in her cultivation as she understood what heights Qin Wentian would reach in the future. His future would be among the stars, she knew that she needn’t climb too high. It was enough as long as she wasn’t too far from him.
Qin Wentian finally set his heart at ease and went into seclusion, sealing himself away. After that, he opened the pathway to the entrance of the Heavenly Talisman Realm and entered alone.
Inside the Heavenly Talisman Realm, green mountains and lakes were everywhere, like a paradise on earth. Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath as a smile appeared on his face. It has been a very long time since he returned here. Back then when he entered, he wasn’t an immortal yet. Right now, he was already at the peak of immortal-foundation.
However, many of the disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm are all immortal kings and emperors, he naturally had nothing to be proud of.
With a flash, Qin Wentian headed forward, flying through the air. Occasionally, there would be people nodding their heads at Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian naturally reciprocated that with a smile.
Qin Wentian directly headed to the gigantic statue of the realm lord. Staring at it, Qin Wentian lightly spoke, "Master, this time my cultivation base has reached a bottleneck. I have no idea when would I break through to the immortal king realm. I hope Master would be able to bestow me a trace of guidance."
After that, Qin Wentian’s silhouette flickered and sped towards the Heavenly Talisman Palace located on the palm of the statue. Just so coincidentally, there was no one in the palace. Qin Wentian then directly entered.
Inside the Heavenly Talisman Palace, Qin Wentian walked to the central area and sat down cross-legged. The space above him was filled with light and a scene formed from countless talismanic runes appeared, cascading down their glow onto Qin Wentian.
The Heavenly Talisman Treasure Tome was in the Heavenly Talisman Palace. This was something the realm lord had left here. This cultivation treasure encompasses everything and different levels of cultivation bases would receive different insights from perusing it.
Qin Wentian unleashed his aura, his perfect saint-grade immortal-foundation also manifested, flowing with law energy. In an instant, all the attribute energies he was proficient in appeared around him.
The treasure tome resonated with it, before sending out its own light which seeped into Qin Wentian as he quietly absorbed it.
This was the second time Qin Wentian was cultivating inside the Heavenly Talisman Palace. The Heavenly Talisman Treasure Tome was the great dao of runes and divine inscriptions, believing that everything in the world was formed from that. The astral energy and divine inscriptions were able to activate law energy, transforming into innate techniques, formation arts, and divine weapons. Astral energy is the base of cultivation while runes and divine inscriptions helped to sculpt it, connecting with law attributes. Hence, runes and divine inscriptions are the language of the Great Dao.
Consulting the tome once again caused him to have a brand new insight. Qin Wentian fully focused as he immersed himself in it.
The treasure tome was able to dissect everything from complexity to the very base, giving people a feeling of simplicity, making things easier to absorb or to gain insights from.
For example, when astral energy and the language of the Great Dao, ’runes,’ melded together to a certain extent, law energy would then be produced. And astral souls would bestow different attribute energies to stellar martial cultivators, hence, the law energy everyone could use, was different.
But during cultivation, people usually wouldn’t start comprehending from the very base, they would just follow nature and cultivate to reach greater heights as soon as possible. This was just like a young child learning how to talk. The child wouldn’t know how to speak, but the more he hears language around him, the more he would learn naturally. There might be no difference on the surface but only when the child truly learned the base, the meaning of each singular word in his vocabulary, would he be able to derive a greater meaning from the words spoken.
Hence, dissecting the base of cultivation would naturally help him out. This was especially so given Qin Wentian’s current level. As one climbed higher, one’s comprehension abilities were extremely important.
In that case, what was an immortal king? How can he break through to the next level?
Maybe everyone had different paths to the immortal king realm. They might use different methods and have different insights, but there was one thing that was common for sure. All of them had to perfect their law domains, and manifest a perfect body of laws.
But how could he accomplish all that? The treasure tome didn’t tell Qin Wentian. This was an important step of cultivation, he needed to step past it himself.
At the immortal king realm, differences between immortal kings might be extremely great because the astral souls of each person were different, resulting in different law-attribute energies. The insights of everyone were different as well, resulting in a difference in the might unleashed by their techniques. The difference might be so great that it can be insurmountable.
If not, when at the immortal king realm, why could Bai Wuya alone threaten all the other immortal kings? What did he depend on to slay the Deepflame Immortal King, not even giving him the chance to flee?
Qin Wentian quietly contemplated for several months here. He didn’t borrow the treasure tome to cultivate innate techniques. Rather, he merely used it to contemplate his cultivation realm. His goal right now was to step into the immortal king level.
Today, Qin Wentian finally exited the palace. Outside the Heavenly Talisman Palace, an expert was quietly sitting there, with his eyes closed in meditation. That expert seemed to have sensed something, and as the door opened, he opened his eyes and stared at Qin Wentian.
"Senior brother." Qin Wentian nodded to that person.
"A new member?" The disciples of the Heavenly Talisman Realm might not be familiar with each other. Hence, this expert couldn’t help but to ask.
"I’ve already joined for many years. Now, I’m stuck at the peak of immortal-foundation and I’m searching for an opportunity to break through." Qin Wentian smiled. He then continued, "Junior brother is planning to head out to temper myself. Does senior have any good locations to recommend?"
"Ah, I see. Given how vast the immortal realms are, there naturally are plenty of opportunities and good fortune hidden everywhere. Everything would depend on your luck, I have no truly good recommendations for you but I suggest that you follow your heart." That senior smiled.
"Many thanks senior. It’s just that junior me came here from the entrance located at the eastern regions. If I leave now, I would return to the same location. I actually wish to head towards the northern regions, does senior have any idea where can I find any apprentice brothers to lead me there?" Qin Wentian humbly asked. The rules of the Heavenly Talisman Realm were as such. Wherever one opened up an entrance from, the exit would be at the same location when he left the Heavenly Talisman Realm. They would have no way to exit via different exits unless they followed someone else out.
"There should be plenty of members from the northern regions in that direction. You can go there and seek their aid." That immortal king smiled and pointed in a direction. Qin Wentian nodded and replied, "Thanks!"
As he spoke, he bid farewell and turned about. Although he had joined the Heavenly Talisman Realm for many years now, he was still pretty unfamiliar with this place.
