The crazy old man glared at Qin Wentian. This bastard truly knows how to extort people by taking advantage of their weaknesses.

“I got my own plans, you don’t need to care about it.” The crazy old man coldly spoke.

“That’s only natural. What sort of character is senior? Most probably, the present you would give to Youhuang, wouldn’t be any weaker than the god slaying rod.” Qin Wentian smiled in a somewhat shameless manner. However, if Beiming Youhuang could really obtain a treasure that’s better than the God Slaying Rod, what does it matter even if he was a little shameless? His skin was just so thick.

Within the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, when Beiming Youhuang saw the crazy old man, her beautiful eyes flickered with a strange look. He was as sloppy as before, and looked like a freaky old man. There was truly no way for her to match the image of this old man with that of the Grim Reaper which struck fear in the hearts of countless people in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. She simply felt strange.

“Youhuang, senior has promised to give you a treasure. Why don’t you hurry up and thank senior?” Upon seeing that Beiming Youhuang was stunned, he hurriedly reminded.

Beiming Youhuang’s beautiful eyes blinked, she cast an astonished glance at Qin Wentian only to see Qin Wentian winking at her. She immediately understood. Although she felt somewhat speechless, she still softly greeted, “It has been so many years. Senior’s glory is as magnificent as the past.”

“Glory? What glory do I have? Seems like you have turned bad after mixing with this fellow for so long.” The crazy old man spoke as he looked at Beiming Youhuang. This caused an awkward look to appear on her face as a bitter smile flickered in her eyes while she glared at Qin Wentian.

“How’s your cultivation of the Death Scripture?” The old man asked.

“Not too bad.” Beiming Youhuang replied. She also didn’t know which level has she cultivated the Death Scripture to.

“Mhm, the Death Scripture is a peerless deity-level art. Although it isn’t as good as his Undying Scripture when it comes to protecting your life, but it is stronger compared to the Undying Scripture in all other aspects. This is why I passed him the Undying Scripture because I knew his talent couldn’t make it, and he needed some measures to protect his life.” The old man impolitely spoke, not giving Qin Wentian any face at all.

Qin Wentian smiled bitterly, he was somewhat speechless. The crazy old freak passed the Undying Scripture to him because his talent was too low and was prone to dying?

As for whether his talent could make it or not, most probably, everyone else in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would have a different opinion than the crazy old freak.

“During these years, did this brat bully you?” The crazy old freak asked. Beiming Youhuang’s eyes flashed, she then turned to Qin Wentian. This sentence was a little…it hinted at there was something between her and Qin Wentian. For a time, she didn’t know how to reply.

“Bully?” Qin Wentian’s face was filled with black lines. This question…

“How could I possibly bully Youhuang? Senior, you are thinking too much.” Qin Wentian smiled.

“No?” Beiming Youhuang glanced at Qin Wentian.

“Eh…” Qin Wentian blinked.

“Hehe, you can tell me. I will punish him for you.” The crazy old freak stared at Qin Wentian, causing Qin Wentian to shiver. When he was trapped inside the forbidden grounds in the Darknorth Mountains, this old freak precisely looked at him with such a gaze.

Although Qin Wentian was already a heavenly deity right now, but when facing a crazy old man who even dared to threaten the western world, he was still way too weak.

“It’s fine, I don’t think he bullied me.” Beiming Youhuang smiled. In an instant, the ice seemed to have melted. She looked extremely beautiful when she smiled.

Staring at these two juniors, the crazy old man nodded his head. He took out a pearl that shone with a resplendent light. There seemed to be incredible amounts of energy contained within it. Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang could both sense that within the bead, the energy contained within was none other than soul energy.

The crazy old freak was precisely proficient in soul energy. Even the God Slaying Rod targeted the soul. Most probably, this treasure pearl was the same as well.

“Take it with you and find some time to refine it. Don’t let it down by your lack of effort.” The crazy old freak passed the pearl over to Beiming Youhuang. His gaze was somewhat heavy. When Qin Wentian saw his expression, he silently marveled. Seems like this treasure was truly extraordinary or this crazy old freak wouldn’t be so serious. Given his strength, most probably he wouldn’t even care about ordinary divine weapons.

“Mhm.” Beiming Youhuang seriously nodded. She carefully kept the pearl. From the expression of the crazy old freak, she also could sense that this pearl was extraordinary. She wanted to live up to it. Most probably, this pearl was exceedingly valuable to the crazy old freak.

“Bring me into the Heaven Vault for a walk. The two of you shall accompany me. But I don’t want anyone else sniffing around.” The crazy old freak spoke. He could already sense that many people were currently moving here.

“Right.” Qin Wentian nodded. The crazy old freak stayed in seclusion in the forbidden grounds of the Darknorth Immortal Empire for countless years and must have long gotten used to loneliness. Only an extremely few people have met him before. His personality would naturally be a little strange. To the crazy old freak, he was only acquainted with Qin Wentian and Beiming Youhuang from the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. He wasn’t interested in any others.

Qin Wentian used his divine sense to send a voice transmission to everyone in the surroundings. They understood and dispersed. Although they were very curious about this legendary character, but since the Grim Reaper didn’t want to meet them, they couldn’t do anything about it too. They only felt that it was a pity.

Since the crazy old freak wanted to enter the Heaven Vault, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t have any objections. He and Youhuang accompanied the old freak, they ascended the ancient heaven vault pathway and arrived at the boundless starry space of the nine heavenly layers.

The three of them slowly flew through space with the old freak in the lead. His hands were held behind his back as he inclined his head, staring up at the boundless constellations. His heart was filled with emotions as he mumbled, “How magnificent.”

Even for the powerful him, he has never gone to the nine heavenly layers in person before. Although he had such thoughts, he didn’t really execute them. At this moment, he was thinking that given his current cultivation base, if he didn’t enter the Heaven Vault, how long would it take for him to fly all the way up to the nine heavenly layers by virtue of his own strength?

During these years, he has been protecting Ancient Azure Mystic and only left the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms rarely. There was basically no chance for him to explore the starry space.

“I heard that you obtained Godking Xi’s inheritance?”

“Mhm.” Qin Wentian nodded. “This Heaven Vault is something Godking Xi’s body and will transformed into.”

“He was an awesome character. Back then, I had an agreement with him and we wanted to explore the starry space. But later on, because of what happened to Azure Mystic, I couldn’t make it. I didn’t expect that now, our wishes back then were fulfilled halfway. Only I came here, but he is already gone.” The old freak’s voice was filled with melancholy. His gaze seemed capable of piercing through space, wanting to see the people in the past.

At this moment, he suddenly turned and glanced at Youhuang. His aged eyes suddenly became boundlessly deep as his gaze was filled with doting love. He spoke in a soft voice, “If you have any difficulties on the path of cultivation, you can consult her in your mind. She would be able to answer your questions.”

Beiming Youhuang was somewhat bewildered but she still nodded her head. The person this old freak was referring to was none other than her master. Her master was an extremely powerful heavenly deity from Ancient Azure Mystic and her ancient will has entered Beiming Youhuang’s mind.

“Senior, I’ve read about the world-destroying battle from ancient records but there are still many things that are unclear. Back then, what happened exactly?” Qin Wentian asked.

“Let’s not mention the past. But there’s an enemy you have to destroy no matter what. Everything that happened back then was because of them.” The old freak spoke.

“Who?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed.

“The western world.” The old freak glanced at the entrance of the Heaven Vault as he spoke. Qin Wentian’s body trembled. So, the main culprit of the world-destroying battle in Ancient Azure Mystic back then was actually the western world? The old freak could ignore the others who participated in the battle, except for the western world, they must be destroyed for sure. From this, one could tell how much influence the western world had in the world-destroying battle back then. Maybe, their involvement was the key to everything.

And all of these weren’t recorded in the ancient records of the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.

“Why did they do so?” Qin Wentian asked. Although there were many observation points in the ancient records, the old freak was someone who had personally experienced that after all. His words were then the truth.

Qin Wentian had never believed that the western world was a place of hope and mercy. If not, why would they try to force him to handover the Heaven Vault? They got the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavenly Mystical Palace to pull out from his alliance and got the experts from the various hegemonic powers to gather outside the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. They only needed to control everything from behind. What a brilliant method, they didn’t even need to personally act.

But even if they are not merciful, Qin Wentian found it hard to imagine that they would allow an entire layer of immortal realms to be destroyed. The number of lives lost were countless but they did so anyway. The buddhist-path power the western world, was behind all of that.

“The buddhist path speaks about karma, the law of cause and effect. They also speak about faith. Everything was for the sake of transcending. Back then in that era, there was a person in the western world who was extremely close to the Transcendence Realm.” The old freak slowly spoke. He then continued, “Ever since the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms were split into the eight great regions, the eight godkings all sought transcendence. Their methods of pursuing the Transcendence Realm differed, and in that particular era, for unknown reasons, only that godking in the western world remained in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Hence, his ambitions naturally grew. He wanted to become the ultimate king of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and make the thirty-three immortal realms spread his faith, wanting to garner their faith all on himself as everyone in the universe had to believe in and worship him.”

“Hence, he incited many wars to reach his goals. Azure Mystic ended up being destroyed, and the various great regions of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms suffered heavy casualties with many hegemonic powers being exterminated. But he most probably didn’t imagine that he would also be heavily injured. Hence, that calamity was a lose-lose situation. The entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and our Azure Mystic, were losers.

The expression of the old freak turned cold as he continued, “And now in the present, he is about to exit his seclusion. Seems like his injury from the past must have mostly recovered by now. His goal should still be the same as the past. Hence, the Heaven Vault you have is extremely important to him. It should be a key part of his plans.”

Qin Wentian’s expression froze, he didn’t think that there were so many hidden reasons behind this.

The existence the old freak was speaking off, was actually one of the godkings that has existed since the split of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms?

The Universe Region was the only region that was completely unified and they had four other lower worlds (immortal realms) in their control. However, the old freak was saying that this wasn’t their ultimate goal. The ultimate goal of the western world was to conquer all the thirty-three immortal realms, brainwashing everyone in the universe to believe in the buddha dao!

But once, there was actually someone who could injure the godking in the western world heavily, delaying his plan for countless years. From this, one could very well imagine how powerful the Imperishable Heaven Lord was back then.

Even the saints of the buddhist path couldn’t see through fate or into the future.

And now, the storm was here once again. From the words of the crazy old freak, it seems like the current peace wouldn’t last long at all.
