Chapter 974: Eve before the Grand Battle
Translator: LordbluefireEditor: Lordbluefire
In the City of Ancient Emperors, many were descendants of immortal kings and emperors. Even if they weren't, they would be their disciples. Hence, all of them were lofty individuals whose arrogance towered up into the sky. They looked down on the actions of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. If back then, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had sent his more powerful personal disciples here to kill Qin Wentian, that would be fine. But he'd actually sent out an army, and so his actions naturally incurred the ridicule of many.
At the same time, Qin Wentian's challenge to Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie, the two top rankers of the Immortal Ascension Ranking, had truly stirred up the spirits of many. This should be what a genius from the City of Ancient Emperors should be like.
Comparing the two, it was clear that Qin Wentian's spirit made those in the City of Ancient Emperors have a more unfavorable opinion of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect.
Hence, another storm of commotion arose in the City of Ancient Emperors. Many people were rushing to join the Qin Sect.
In a few short days, the number of geniuses in the Qin Sect exploded. They were all here because they wanted to witness the making of history, to personally see Qin Wentian fight against Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie.
The Qin Sect today was a far cry from the tranquil place it had been before. As a result of their recruitment efforts, it was now extremely lively, with geniuses from all kinds of locations gathering there. Qin Wentian had also changed his previous policy—now they were accepting anyone who wished to join. As a matter of fact, they weren't going to stay too long in the City of Ancient Emperors, so it would be impossible for sect members to form a truly close relationship like that of real brothers. He was also thinking he might as well take the opportunity during this short period of time to gather people and carry out the things he should do. In the future, if they ever met in the outside world, it would naturally be good if they could drink and chat happily. But if they ended up on opposite sides, there would be no regrets as well.
”Nanfeng, did Qin Wentian really break through to the ninth level of Celestial Phenomenon? I remember when he first entered this city and joined the Xiao Sect, he was only a seventh-level ascendant. How can he break through two levels to the ninth within such a short period of time? Did you guys go through some miraculous encounters?” Hearing someone among them directing this question to Nanfeng Yunxi, many of the geniuses who joined the Qin Sect all had expressions of interest on their faces.
”There were indeed some miraculous encounters.” Nanfeng Yunxi nodded, admitting it honestly.
”Wow, what miraculous encounters?” someone asked.
”In the City of Ancient Emperors, in the very depths of the Underworld Mountains, there's a city in the sky containing many enigmatic secrets. It was none other than the Antiquity City. We took on the trials and obtained the benefits, causing Qin Wentian to smoothly break through in his cultivation.” Nanfeng Yunxi chose not to hide anything. This Antiquity City would be known to many sooner or later. Rather than hiding things and arousing suspicions, she might as well tell the truth.
”Is this true?” As expected, the eyes of several experts gleamed with sharpness; all of them were directing their attention towards Nanfeng Yunxi.
”Yes, is there any reason for me to lie to you? You can all seek out that city for yourselves. But regretfully, because the cultivation level requirements are too high, we were all asked to leave that place. If not, we would have surely established our immortal foundations inside it,” Nanfeng Yunxi said calmly. ”And sadly, the pathway to that city has already been sealed.”
”Oh?” Many people had disappointment flashing through their eyes. Since the path had already been sealed, didn't that mean that they had no chance at all?
”Nanfeng isn't lying. The things she's said are all true.” At this moment, Qin Wentian walked over, sitting together with Nanfeng Yunxi.
”Brother Qin.” Everyone clasped their hands in politeness.
”Sect leader Qin!” some experts called out. After all, Qin Wentian was the sect leader of the Qin Sect.
”Brothers, you are all too courteous. I must truly thank you for your help by willingly joining my sect,” Qin Wentian said in a forthright manner, clasping his hands as well.
”A power like the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect that can only bully people with their numbers, we should make them wake the fuck up and remind them that this place is the City of Ancient Emperors.”
”That's right. The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor actually sent out an army to this place to deal with Brother Qin? That shouldn't have happened at all.”
”Brother Qin, we still have to make things clear first. We're all extremely willing and happy to take care of those clowns from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. But since you've proclaimed a challenge to Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie, that will ultimately have to depend on yourself. But, if the people from the Violet Sect and the Evil Palace interfere and join in on the battle, we'll of course act against them. If they don't, then we won't involve ourselves, since after all, we would also like to see a battle between the three individuals at the very peak of the City of Ancient Emperors,” someone stated.
”That's only natural.” Qin Wentian nodded. ”In any case, the reason why I, Qin Wentian, have established the Qin Sect, was never to bully others through brute force. I just have no wish to encounter the same circumstances as back then—being surrounded by major powers on all sides. That was nothing but a humiliation, and since I dared to challenge Zi Daoyang and Mo Xie, I will naturally fight against them alone. I have no need for the help of others.”
”Right!” Someone in the crowd cheered.
”Brother Qin is truly bold. Right after arriving at the City of Ancient Emperors, you were already challenging the first and second-ranked in the Immortal Ascension Rankings. We are all truly impressed.”
”It looks like your miraculous encounter in the Antiquity City has caused Brother Qin's strength to rise to another level.”
”There's also another thing I think you all might not know about. Back then, Mo Xie was closely pursuing us, and so he has also stepped into the Antiquity City as well. So, that miraculous encounter was also experienced by Mo Xie,” Qin Wentian added, causing everyone's eyes to gleam sharply.
”Mo Xie also managed to step into the Antiquity City with you guys?!” someone exclaimed in shock.
”Mhm, that's right.” Nanfeng Yunxi nodded.
