1784 Sword Monarch (1/2)
Qin Wentian initially came here for the purpose of attending the convention, he had never once imagined that he would meet his mother's clansmen. This can be considered a coincidence. If it wasn't Ten Miles Spring Wind suggesting to rob the Heaven Immortal Tower, most probably even if he encountered Luoshen Lei now, he wouldn't know there was such a connection between them and would treat her like a stranger.
And as of now, the importance of this matter in Qin Wentian's heart, has already exceeded the Convention of the Myriad Realms.
However to many world overlords in the Mystic Region, the convention was the purpose for their journey here. Their gazes shone brightly and they were ready for it.
After that day since Qin Wentian displayed thirteen heavenheart mandates, a period of time has already passed. Although there were still people heading to the Heavenheart Mirror to display their brilliance, none was able to cause the level of commotion Qin Wentian caused that day. This lasted all the way until the Heavenheart Mirror disappeared, causing the mountain it was on to turn back into an ordinary one.
And during the second day after the Heavenheart Mirror vanished, on the top of the ancient mountain, inside the Time Realm, it suddenly began to glow with resplendent light. This light seemed to have originated from the heavens and shot out in four directions, illuminating all corners of the Time Realm. It was a large monument with four-sides to it, slowly revolving in the air. Some experts wanted to grab hold of it only to discover that there was no substance to it. It was truly like light, it was impossible for them to touch it.
”What is that?” At this moment, in the residential palace Qin Wentian was in, Mo Qingcheng stood beside him and asked in a soft voice. Those four beams of light were too resplendent. There seemed to be a wondrous diagram in them, radiating might from the great dao. Qin Wentian similarly wasn't able to see through it. He stared at the four beams of light and replied, ”There would always be wondrous objects appearing during every convention to test the world overlords here to attend it. There should be some secrets hidden in this four-sided stone monument but I have no way to see through it for now.”
”All of these, are they really controlled by the three hegemonic powers behind?” Mo Qingcheng asked. It was rumored that the Time Realm was the place the Time King cultivated in back then in the past. Maybe, there might be some inheritances left behind by him. Naturally, this was only a conjecture.
”Who knows. But the three hegemonic powers are considered the supreme overlords of the Mystic Regions. They should be the clearest about this.” Qin Wentian replied.
In another residential palace, Old Ghost's eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the four-sided stone monument that was radiating light. His expression was extremely heavy, this seemed to be the Time Monument Inscription in the legends. Even in the Convention of the Myriad Realms, it was extremely rare for it to appear. He had participated in many conventions before but this was only the second time he saw this.
And the previous time it appeared, a character that even the three hegemonic powers were terrified of, rose up. And now, that fearsome character was already a legend of the Mystic Region but as for him, Old Ghost, he was still a relatively unknown individual.
Old Ghost took out his messaging crystal and sent out a message to a few other immortal senses, ”Quickly come over to my place and follow me somewhere.”
”Old Ghost, what's the matter?” Ten Miles Springwind asked.
”Right.” Cao Tian nodded.
Phoenix and Qin Wentian also replied respectively as they headed towards Old Ghost's palace. Old Ghost was the most mysterious individual among the five of them. His age was the greatest and Qin Wentian always felt that Old Ghost was cloaked in a haze of mystery. Back then when Old Ghost, who was wearing simple clothing, was heading to the Time City, Jun Mengchen even thought that this person was just an ordinary old man. If it wasn't for the fact that Qin Wentian was at the world overlord realm, he also wouldn't have sensed it and would have thought the same as Jun Mengchen.
Not long after, all of them gathered at Old Ghost's place.
”Old Ghost, why did you suddenly gather us? Is it because of the four beams of light that shot out of that monument?” Phoenix asked directly.
”Mhm. Other than Wentian, this shouldn't be the first time that you guys have participated in the convention, right? Have you seen this before?” Old Ghost asked.
”Never.” The three others shook their heads. Cao Tian then spoke, ”You should have attended the convention the most. Could it be that you know something? Is there something special about the four beams of light?”
”A very long time ago, I've seen it once before. And in the convention of that year, there's still one more person who attended. You guys would surely know of him.” Old Ghost mysteriously spoke.
”Who?” Ten Miles Springwind curiously asked. The others also stared at Old Ghost. This old fellow was purposely building up the suspense.
”Jian Junlai” Old Ghost heavily spoke.
”Who?” Ten Miles Springwind had a look of bewilderment on his face, he hasn't heard of this name before.
”I don't know him.” Cao Tian also shook his head. There was also a look of puzzlement on Phoenix's face.
Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines. Didn't Old Ghost say that everyone would know of this person? Why is it that none of them knew about this Jian Junlai? This Old Ghost...
