Ancient Godly Monarch

“Reverend’s purpose for coming here today is to make me handover the Heaven Vault to the western world?” Anger flared in Qin Wentian’s heart. No matter who it was, when faced with such an unreasonable request, they would surely feel unhappy.

A single sentence from the Buddhist Sect wanted to send him off, replacing him as the Heaven Vault’s controller. The people entering it for cultivation would be arranged by the Buddhist Sect as well.

However, given Qin Wentian’s current cultivation base as well as the calm tone of Reverend Seven Abstinences when he spoke, Qin Wentian naturally wouldn’t allow his emotions to show easily.

Seven Abstinences had his palms pressed together as Qin Wentian spoke. He didn’t say anything, which meant that he silently agreed. Although his words were tactful, as he acted like he spoke for the good of the entire immortal realms, for the sake of not wanting lives to be lost needlessly, in truth what he wanted to express was simply to tell Qin Wentian to hand the Heaven Vault to them.

Also, from the start to the end, Reverend Seven Abstinences didn’t mention a single threat. It was just a calm conversation. The western world was just there. Everyone in the world knew how strong they are. By sending Seven Abstinences here, this was already their attitude. There was no need for them to make any threats.

How can the might of words be stronger than the might of their presence?

“Reverend, please return.” Qin Wentian smiled. Reverend Seven Abstinences lifted his head and stared at Qin Wentian. After that, he stood up and pressed his palms together, “Benefactor Qin, seniors, I will bid farewell then.”

After speaking, he turned and departed.

Everything seemed so calm, like there was no conflict. The behaviors of both parties were terrifying because the meaning behind their words would definitely give rise to an intense storm.

Undoubtedly, Qin Wentian had rejected the Buddhist Sect’s suggestion.

The strength of the western world might be overwhelming, but they wanted him to handover the Heaven Vault with just a sentence from them? What does this count as?

The Qiankun Sect Leader and Mystical Maiden stared at the figure of the departing Seven Abstinences as bitter smiles could be seen on their faces. The western world truly had intentions of taking the Heaven Vault. This absolutely wasn’t simply because of the visit from the various hegemonic powers. The Buddhist Sect must have long had this thought. If not, given their personality, who could force them to do things they don’t want to do? How could they be swayed to help the other hegemonic powers just from the exchange of a few sentences?

“Things will be troublesome.” The Qiankun Sect Leader sighed in a low voice, feeling unease. Although the attitude of Reverend Seven Abstinences was extremely polite from the start until the end, and even addressed them as seniors, the request of the western world was ultimately rejected by Qin Wentian. Would things conclude simply just like that?

A trace of worry flashed across the beautiful eyes of the mystical maiden. Seems like the western world was intending to interfere in this.

If they really did, what about her and the Qiankun Sect Leader? Where should they stand?

“Sect leader, fairy, let us continue.” Qin Wentian smiled. He lifted his wine cup and seemed extremely carefree. But in truth, how could Qin Wentian not understand what situation they would soon face. But what could they do? Could it be that they would just simply leave with their tails between their legs because of a single sentence from the Buddhist Sect?

Also, would things really be fine the moment they left the Heaven Vault?

Without this natural barrier that is the Heaven Vault, would the other experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms really let go of their past grudges so easily?

If he really had such thoughts, it would simply be too naive.

The news of Reverend Seven Abstinences’s visit from the Buddhist Sect soon circulated around the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms by someone with unknown intentions. The people of the immortal realms could sense a storm was brewing, it seems like the period of peace would be ending soon.

The powerful western world also wanted to interfere in matters of the Heaven Vault. They wanted to make Qin Wentian give the Heaven Vault to them, allowing the Buddhist Sect to control it. However, their suggestion was rejected by Qin Wentian.

After the various hegemonic powers obtained this news, they were all extremely happy. When they paid a visit to the western world back then, they already dug a hole for Qin Wentian. They used the name of ‘mercy’ to get the western world to help out. The Buddhist Sect naturally wouldn’t reject it. And as long as they are involved, no matter whether Qin Wentian agreed to it or not, Qin Wentian’s ending wouldn’t be good.

And now, Qin Wentian has chosen to reject it.

The powerful western world was also going to interfere with the matters of the Heaven Vault.

Once, there was a power who rejected the request of the western world before. As to what happened next, only those peak characters knew of some of the secrets within. The information was something many history recorders didn’t dare to write down in ancient records.

History was written by mankind. And many things in history had been concealed away. However, some of the peak powers also originated from the ancient era and hence, they knew of some things.

Countless years ago, that power which rejected the Buddhist Sect was even stronger than the strength Qin Wentian’s power currently wielded. It wasn’t just a little stronger, it was much stronger in comparison. However, many people knew about that power’s ending but no one dared to bring this matter up and link it to the Buddhist Sect. This was an ultimate taboo in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

In the past, the people of the world didn’t dare to mention it and the history recorders didn’t dare to record it. Hence, in the present day, only a few people knew of it.

After that, there was news saying that Reverend Seven Abstinences then headed to the Mystic Region. He actually went to pay a visit to the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. Someone said that it was to pay a visit to Headmaster Ye.

Reverend Seven Abstinences of the western world had no connections with the sacred academy at all. He had only came here once to enter the world of reincarnation for cultivation and dao comprehension. But the reason for his visit was because of this, wasn’t it late by too many years? As for seeking the dao, there was no need for Reverend Seven Abstinences to go all the way there. Many people guessed that the strength of Reverend Seven Abstinences has already exceeded the three deities of the sacred academy now.

In that case, there was only a possibility for the purpose of his visit. It was because of the matter regarding the Heaven Vault.

Back then in the deity-level battle of the Qin Clan, the mysterious headmaster of the sacred academy once helped Qin Wentian out. Maybe, this was a kind of respect the Buddhist Sect was showing the sacred academy, they wanted to settle things here first.

As for whether Seven Abstinences did meet with the headmaster or not, nobody knew the truth about that. They also didn’t know what happened in the sacred academy.

After Reverend Seven Abstinences went to the sacred academy, two other deity-level buddha cultivators were sent out from the Buddhist Sect to the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace respectively.

These two hegemonic powers were undoubtedly, the strongest allies in Qin Wentian’s group. If the Qiankun Sect and Nine Heavens Mystical Palace was excluded, Qin Wentian would be isolated and without help. Only the Luoshen Clan and Demon God Mountain would be on his side then. At that time, the ending would be apparent to all if Qin Wentian still chose to clash with all the other hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.

Evidently, the Buddhist Sect of the western world has already silently began their actions.

Now, the Heaven Vault that existed above the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect in the Boundless Sea Region, seemed to become the location of the center of the storm.

Currently, there were powers governing the Desolate Region. The three hegemonic powers were no longer here. The situation in the Desolate Region became extremely chaotic as many major powers fought each other to claim hegemony over it.

At this moment, at a stretch of desolation where many mountain ranges were connected, the silhouettes of human experts and demonic beasts could be seen. Countless people were fighting here, the combatants dotted every inch of this landscape of the mountain range, belonging to different factions of power. The atmosphere was incredibly tense as the sounds of combat rang out unceasingly.

And all of a sudden, black clouds covered the sky. There was only darkness.

Down below, there were countless figures who were in a panic. Experts of the different factions glanced at each other. Could this phenomenon be caused by experts invited by the other parties?

However, they soon discovered that all of them were panicking. No one knew what was happening.

At this moment, an immensely gigantic face suddenly appeared in the black clouds. It was like a face of the tempest and looked like an evil devil, terrifying to the extreme.

“So many nutrients.” A low voice rang out, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble. All of them felt a strong sense of unease.

Nutrients?

The devilish evil face that appeared in the sky referred to them as ‘nutrients’?

“Go!”

“Let’s flee!” The previous hostile atmosphere instantly dispersed. Everyone lost the will to battle and started to flee instead. This evil face that appeared in the air was terrifying to the extreme.

A malevolent smile appeared on the evil face. Fleeing?

Boundless deathly grey qi gushed forth, this qi ignored all defenses and directly entered the brains of everyone. After that, they exited from their bodies. Grey-colored silhouettes actually came out from the bodies after the deathly grey qi entered. These illusory grey-colored silhouettes had looks of terror on their faces. They were actually the souls of those people below.

The bodies below slumped over one after another. No matter were they powerful humans or demonic beasts, all of them fell onto the ground with no exception. In a short instant, all lives in the entire mountain range vanished completely. This place was like a forbidden land for life. It was also like purgatory in the mortal world.

That evil face had a look of satisfaction and enjoyment. After that, a figure that was a young man, walked out from the face. This young man was extraordinarily good-looking but his countenance was too pale, without any hint of blood. He looked like a devil and exuded a sinister and terrifying air.

“The nutrients here in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms are much more nutritious compared to the nutrients in the lower worlds. Right now, the Desolate Region is an ownerless place. I have to thank you, Qin Wentian.” A cold smile appeared on the young man’s face. It’s said that right now, Qin Wentian was busy dealing with the pressure from the Buddhist Sect, he is probably too busy and has no time to attend to other things.

“Why are you so satisfied for?” At this moment, a voice rang out. The young man turned his head over and stared at the giant evil face in the air. He coldly spoke, “Shut up. This is my matter. When has it ever become your turn to interfere?”

“Your matters are my matters.” The giant face calmly spoke.

“Ridiculous, do you think I will believe your nonsensical words?” The young man mockingly replied.

“No matter if you believe it or not, I’m your past life. Do you know why are you inclined to evil in this life? Because, everything is already fated long ago. You are the body a part of my soul reincarnated into. This is your destiny. Ever since you were born, it’s already fated that you would walk down this exact path and would arrive here no matter the choices you made.”

“SCRAM!” The young man roared. He didn’t believe this. He was he, Yue Changkong.

“Hehe, you will understand everything once your memories are awakened.” The giant face spoke again before vanishing completely, like it has never existed before!
