Chapter 1702: Universal Attention

Translator: Lordbluefire  Editor: Lordbluefire

After the two empyreans of the Jiang Clan were killed, the other battlefield in the Evergreen Immortal Empire had also concluded. Di Tian’s sealing arts had completely sealed the power of the empyreans from the Ying and Jiang Clan, and after that, both of them were swallowed into the gigantic gate of sealing.

The energy of the formation gradually dissipated, and the experts in the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire stared in shock at Di Tian. At this moment, the army brought here by Qin Wentian from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms all bowed to Di Tian as they greeted, “Your subordinates pay our respects to vice palace lord.”

“Vice palace lord.” The eyes of many people in the Evergreen Immortal Empire flashed. These people referred to Qin Wentian as ‘palace lord,’ so was this black-robed figure their vice palace lord?

Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng’s beautiful eyes flashed with a bright light. The eyes of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor also gleamed with sharpness as though he thought of something.

Only to see Di Tian waving his hand to them in response. After that, his silhouette flashed as he vanished. His departure made many people in the Evergreen Immortal Empire feel that he was extremely mysterious. As for the experts of the Lifire Palace, all of them sighed in their hearts. They didn’t expect that vice palace lord, Di Tian, would come here. He should have been invited by the palace lord, right? To think that the vice palace lord attached so much importance to the palace lord’s order. The palace lord actually asked Di Tian to inscribe a grand formation here.

Naturally, they could tell from this that the relationship between Qin Wentian and Di Tian was a very good one, unlike the speculations of many others saying that each of them were harbouring their own plots. When they thought of this, they felt a chill in their hearts. Seems like back then when the Lifire Empyrean was killed, it should be a plot orchestrated by the two of them. How terrifying was this. The previous Lifire Palace Lord was played to his death by the two of them.

After Qin Wentian killed the Jiang Clan’s empyreans, he directly flew towards the Jiang Clan. When he arrived there, the majestic Jiang Clan was already empty, only some minor characters remained. The elders of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Zihua and Jiang Ziyu as well as the other elites have all vanished. Clearly, they were already prepared.

“What crafty fellows.” Qin Wentian silently mused. His immortal sense enveloped the city the Jiang Clan was located but he still failed to sense the presence of these elites from the Jiang Clan. Since the other party wanted to evade, it probably wouldn’t be so easy to find them.

Stepping out, Qin Wentian’s figure directly departed. He didn’t start a massacre here to kill these minor characters as there would be no meaning to it. However, the core members of the Jiang Clan must die. When the time comes for him to be ruthless, he naturally wouldn’t be soft-hearted and show mercy. Jiang Zihua was an extremely sinister character and had very high talent. Leaving him alive would only be a future source of trouble. He might not be afraid, but he didn’t wish for those around him to come to any harm.

Hence, the first command Qin Wentian gave after he returned to the Evergreen Immortal Empire was offer great rewards and sent out an arrest order to capture the core members of the Jiang Clan.

The news soon circulated out. After the Heaven Empyrean and Samsara Empyrean joined forces to destroy the Heavenly Talisman Realm, the Heaven Empyrean went alone to accept the challenge from the Jiang Clan’s empyreans and finished them off. At the same time, the third empyrean and another empyrean from the Ying Clan tried to sneak attack the Evergreen Immortal Empire but a mysterious empyrean was already here and borrowed power from a grand formation to annihilate them. The Evergreen Immortal Empire was now protected by a terrifying grand protective formation. This was undoubtedly a strong deterrence to many forces.

The Heavenly Talisman Realm had collapsed, the empyreans of the Jiang Clan were annihilated while the core members had all fled. The Jiang Clan still existed in name but was already finished in reality.

The tripartite balance of power in Azure Mystic didn’t last for long before the balance crumbled. From now on, there was only a single hegemon in Azure Mystic – the Heaven Empyrean Qin Wentian.

In only such a short time after Qin Wentian returned, he dominated the entire world, becoming the Myriad Devil Sovereign of the Myriad Devil Islands, the Heaven Empyrean of the immortal realms and gained absolute authority. A single sentence from him now could mobilize the entire world.

Everyone in the immortal realms understood that with the defeat of the Jiang Clan, the chaos in the immortal realms would come to an end as a brand new era unfolds.

Before the Heaven Empyrean left Azure Mystic, the unification of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms was undoubtedly a foregone conclusion. No one would be able to stop it.

After that, the Heaven Empyrean sent out orders telling the Nibblesky Sacred Cult, Thunder God Hall, Snowdrift Sage Hall to bring a copy of all their ancient cultivation text and manuals to the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire. When this order was sent out, the entire immortal realms trembled.

To any sect, all ancient cultivation arts were supposed to be secrets only passed down to their core disciples. However, Qin Wentian wanted these powers to make a copy of their ancient cultivation arts and send them to the Evergreen Immortal Empire? This meant that from now onwards, these arts no longer belonged to the sect alone. As long as the Heaven Empyrean wants it, he can easily find another batch of people to replace them.

If this was in ordinary times, it would be a great taboo and was tantamount to declaring a war.

But now, even if Qin Wentian declared a war, would these powers dare to fight against him?

Even if he gave such an order, would these powers dare not to obey?

This, was the price they had to pay for the choice they made that day. For those who lost, they ultimately had to endure the consequences. Back then, if they chose to submit to Qin Wentian, they would have already stood at the peak with the other powers who had chosen correctly.

The Heaven Empyrean sent out his orders, telling all the various major powers to hand over all their cultivation arts to the Evergreen Immortal Empire’s royal capital on the same day. Also, during this very day, the Heaven Empyrean announced that a grand banquet would be held throughout the entire royal capital. He wanted to restructure the major powers of this world and everyone understood that this was re-assigning territories, truly allowing those who submitted to him to gain control of more areas.

Everyone in the immortal realms was discussing about this matter. In fact, there were many people who defined today as the Heaven Empyrean’s date of ascension.

However, more news soon circulated out. The reason behind the holding of the banquet was soon revealed. Heaven Empyrean wanted to gather everyone was not because of re-assigning territories but rather, it was for the sake of a beauty.

A hundred plus years ago, the Heaven Empyrean was hunted down by a group of major powers due to hatred and jealousy. Although he knew he would die in that circumstances if he showed up, he still chose to head to the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

During that day, he proposed to Evergreen Qing`er, the princess of the Evergreen Immortal Empire who became the White-Hair Killing Goddess later on.

Now, the Heaven Empyrean has already united the world. Many people were guessing that he wanted to make things up to Evergreen Qing`er, holding a grand wedding in the Evergreen Immortal Empire that woulds shake the entire Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, allowing everyone in the world to participate.

One couldn’t help but to say that the people of the immortal realms were all extremely intelligent. Very swiftly, the news was verified. The imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire sent out news that the Heaven Empyrean would wed the princess, Evergreen Qing`er, on the day of the banquet.

The moment this news circulated, the entire immortal realms tremored.

Someone even laughed, saying that the Heaven Empyrean dominated the world just to organize this wedding with Evergreen Qing`er. Everything he did was just to obtain a smile from her.

Although such sayings were a little far-fetched, many people still believed it. This was especially so for many females. Their envy for Qing`er reached the extreme. For her sake, the Heaven Empyrean contended against everyone else and won the world for her. What a romantic story this was!

For a period of time, Evergreen Qing`er became the object of jealousy and envy for all the other maidens in the entire immortal realms.

The wedding of the Heaven Empyrean, what commotion would it cause?

In addition, the Heaven Empyrean rode on the momentum of unifying the immortal realms to organize this wedding. From this, one could very well imagine what intense echoes there were. The entire immortal realms was in a commotion. Countless experts, regardless of immortal emperors, immortal kings, immortal-foundation or celestial phenomenon, all of them did all they could to travel to the royal capital of the Evergreen Immortal Empire in the east to spectate. This would be a grand wedding that was unrivalled by all others, a wedding capable of shaking the immortal realms.

Right now, in a small city in the eastern regions, there was a small courtyard. Today, the owner of the courtyard wore a pristine white robe with no dust on it at all and he had a bright smile on his face.

A beautiful maiden stepped out and help him tidy his clothes. She smiled, “Are our savings enough to reach the Evergreen Immortal Empire?’

“Back then, junior brother Qin has left some treasures for us. This time, even if we all have to become bankrupt, we must rush to the Evergreen Immortal Empire on that day!” Lin Shuai laughed, his eyes shining brightly. “Junior brother Qin is about to get married!”

The female laughed, staring at her husband with a gentle look in her eyes. After learning that his junior apprentice brother was the Heaven Empyrean, her husband initially didn’t wish to bask in the glory. He continued to depend on himself to walk his own path. However, when he heard that the Heaven Empyrean was about to get married, her husband suddenly changed his his mind and decided to spare no expense to rush there to attend the wedding. Her husband was always like that. He had a strong character but was extremely sentimental.

“Back then if it wasn’t for junior apprentice brother Qin, we wouldn’t have today. Now that his wedding is here, we naturally must participate.” The female smiled gently, thinking back to everything that has happened back then. At that time, her husband’s junior apprentice brother was still a disciple of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

At another location in the immortal realms, a pair of husband and wife was also making their way there, doing their best as they rushed towards the Evergreen Immortal Empire. Their thoughts were the same as Lin Shuai. They didn’t mind spending all their fortune to use teleportation arrays to hasten their journey, wanting to rush there to offer their congratulations.

“Ouyang, why is the Heaven Empyrean’s marriage making you so happy?” Beside the couple, somebody asked.

“Haha, I’m naturally happy.” The man that was named Ouyang laughed, there was a radiant smile on his face. Jiang Ting beside him held his hand as they exchanged mutual glances with a smile, each of them understanding what the other was thinking. Their good brother not only became the Heaven Empyrean and conquered the immortal realms, he was even going to hold a grand wedding for Qing`er. How could they not be happy?

“Is there really a need to be so happy? We are merely going there to bask in the liveliness of the atmosphere. This time around, all the major characters of the immortal realms are heading over there. Even if you are excited, you don’t need to be so excited, right?”

“Because, the Heaven Empyrean is my best brother!” Ouyang Kuangsheng started laughing uproariously. The people around him all started…after a moment, loud sounds of laughter all rang out, far more exaggerating than Ouyang Kuangsheng’s earlier laughter. All of them thought that this Ouyang must most likely be 80% mad.

The Heaven Empyrean was his best brother?

“HAHAHA…” The laughter continued. Ouyang Kuangsheng and Jiang Ting didn’t mind it. Both of them continued to smile. There was no need to say anything more.

In another location, at a pavilion, a maiden stared blankly at the skies. This maiden was exceedingly beautiful, like a celestial maiden. She was dressed in robes of pure white.

Behind her, a figure silently arrived. He stared at her who had a blank look on her face as he asked, “Xian`er, are you okay?”

“Nothing much, I suddenly thought of some people and some things in the past.” The beautiful maiden smiled, as she continued staring at the sky while a figure appeared in her mind.

“Xian`er, don’t think too much about matters of the past. No matter what happened to you before, I’m willing to protect you forever from now on till the future.” The man behind her gently spoke. The beautiful maiden turned and smiled at him, “Oh, is that so?”

“Naturally.” The other party nodded.

“I wish to go to a place.” The maiden softly spoke.

“Where?” The man asked.

“The Evergreen Immortal Empire.” The maiden replied.

The eyes of the man flashed with light, after that he smiled. “The grand wedding of the Heaven Empyrean…Evergreen Qing`er invokes the envy of all other maidens under the heavens. Xian`er, you wish to go there too? Since that’s the case, when shall we move out?”

“Right now.” The extremely beautiful maiden smiled!
