Qing`er stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. Her cold-eyes radiated some unhappiness. When the Evergreen Immortal Emperor saw her eyes, he spoke, ”Qing`er, do you know that your father is truly jealous of this scoundrel. Tell me, do you think I should kill him or not?”

Qing`er didnʼt say anything, she only shook her head in silence. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke, ”If I kill him, you most probably would deny the relationship between us from then on.”

As he spoke, he turned his gaze again onto Qin Wentian. ”I know you want to marry Qing`er, but your strength now is still truly far from sufficient. You are simply too weak, so weak to the extent that an immortal king could effortlessly pinch you to death. You are also aware of the situation here, they even dared to put pressure on the Evergreen Immortal Empire, let alone a mere lone ranger. If you want to protect someone, sometimes you really need to stand at the peak of the immortal realms. A word from you is equivalent to the law here, and nobody would dare to defy you. If you are angered, countless empires would have to prostrate themselves just to appease you.”

Qin Wentianʼs heart trembled, he then spoke in a low voice, ”Only those ancient emperor characters who once stood at the peak of the immortal realms and unified it, dominating their era, could do so.”

”Thatʼs right. Even for me, at my current level I still cannot protect the ones I wished to protect. Let alone you… If those people didnʼt care about their face so much and didnʼt want to act personally to kill you, you would already be dead. Do you understand this?” The Evergreen Immortal Empire stared at Qin Wentian.

”Junior understands.” Qin Wentian nodded his head.

”No you donʼt. They donʼt act personally to kill you now because you currently poses no threat to them. But once you begin to show the slightest bit of threat, there would be people willing to pay any price just for your death. You can trust my words.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor continued.

Qin Wentianʼs heart trembled. Thatʼs right, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor didnʼt personally act to kill him because they didnʼt know that it was him who killed Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu. Similarly, the him currently was of no threat to them at all. In addition with Emperor Yu and the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord on his side, a fragile balance was formed. This was why the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and the Violet Emperor didnʼt personally act. But if one day they discovered that Qin Wentian has became a threat to them, they would have no more misgivings and would act to kill him.

Any actions taken in the immortal realms was a result of weighing the pros and cons. Once this fragile scale of balance toppled over, all rules would be broken.

”You two better prepare yourselves. For the next few years, I will send you two to a place to cultivate.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke. An instant later, his figure completely vanished as though he had never appeared here before.

”Send us to a place to cultivate?” Qin Wentian murmured. Qing`er turned about, his gaze also turned to Qing`er, and was filled with puzzlement. However, Qing`er seemed to be bewildered as well, she had no idea what her father meant by that.

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didnʼt return to the emperor palace, he went to another similarly imposing palace and met with an ethereal figure with a long flowing silvery-white beard.

”Have you decided?” That ethereal figure asked.

”Yes.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor nodded. ”Since Qing`er loves him, I have no way to prevent it. I can only give him a bout of good fortune. Letʼs hope he is able to seize it.”

”Naturally. He still needs a trying environment to temper himself. However, this might pose a risk to you if you send him away.” That figure spoke.

”I believe in your judgement.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor replied. ”Also, I feel that I understand him. My judgement too, shouldnʼt be wrong.”

”If I didnʼt peer into his destiny, I wouldnʼt have told you this either. But since you have decided, letʼs do our best and prepare to fend off the Skymist Immortal Empire.”

”We should be able to settle two things with this. If we cannot…” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stared at the old man before him as he smiled, ”Letʼs war then.”

After that, he turned and departed the area. There were still many nobles outside the Emperor Palace seeking an audience. However, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor didnʼt meet with them.

Time flew by and the deadline of a month was reached. Today, the atmosphere in the entire Evergreen Immortal Empire felt extraordinarily heavy. Outside the imperial palace, countless people were waiting to see what would happen next.

Today, was the deadline for the Evergreen Immortal Palace to accept the agreement. The Skymist Immortal Empire and their alliance brought people into the imperial palace to ʼfetchʼ Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze away to be married into the Skymist Immortal Empire.

Up until today, the Evergreen Immortal Empire has never acknowledge the adjudication.

Outside the imperial palace, many figures could be seen massing together from afar. Among these figures, there were experts from the various major powers. The group in the lead was undoubtedly immensely powerful. Every step they took, the cadence of their unity caused the earth to sink in a few inches. Such terrifying might continuously gushed forth into the imperial palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, causing fear to fill the hearts of the guards who were guarding the gates.

The Skymist Immortal Empire actually came right to their doorsteps while the Evergreen Immortal Emperor still hadnʼt showed any indication of being prepared to fight them off.

”BOOM!” The sounds of the footsteps echoed. In front of Skymist Jiang, a terrifying old man could be seen. His cultivation base was heavenly and was most probably an immortal emperor character. Each of his steps radiated the might of the Great Dao, and felt like trampling on peopleʼs hearts. Such a mighty force unceasingly closed in on the imperial palace.

Finally, these people arrived at the gates of the imperial palace. The immortal emperor from Skymist spoke, ”The Skymist Envoy has arrived to await the Evergreen Immortal Empire to honor the agreement. We will be bringing Princess Qing`er and Princess Glaze back to Skymist with us.”

”BULLSHIT!” A thunderous voice rang out from the palace. An old man instantly appeared in the air, as his aura that was akin to a desolate wild beast gushed out. He coldly spoke, ”We do not acknowledge this so-called ʼadjudication.ʼ”

”BOOM, BOOM, BOOM!” The nobles of the Evergreen Immortal Empire all soared into the air, facing off in opposition against the Skymist Immortal Empire and their allies.

”What a ridiculous notion. Are there still ancient emperors around?” A noble icily spoke. ”What qualifications does your Skymist Immortal Empire have to invoke an adjudication? Could it be that your Skymist Immortal Empire has already unified the entire immortal realms?”

”INSOLENCE!” The immortal emperor from the Skymist Immortal Empire shot back. Instantly, everyone groaned in misery. For those with lower cultivations, all of them even coughed out blood. That word was spoken with force from the Great Dao, it rang through the skies and shook the souls of everyone. That immortal emperor from Skymist then coldly continued, ”As a peak power of the Eastern Regions, could it be that the Evergreen Immortal Empire is intending to dishonor the agreement? If this is the case, our Skymist Immortal Empire would have no choice but to invoke an adjudication, seeking the help of the other peak powers here. Who would have thought that even when things have unfolded to this stage, the Evergreen Immortal Empire still refused to acknowledge it. The Evergreen Immortal Empire is truly a shame of our immortal realms.”

”Thatʼs right. The agreement has the royal seal of the Evergreen Immortal Empire stamped onto it. The Evergreen Immortal Empire has to honor it no matter what.” An expert from the Paragon Sword Sect also added.

”What a joke, you want to use a lame agreement to decide the matters for our empire? Also, what does this matter have to do with the Paragon Sword Sect?” The anger from the nobles of the Evergreen Immortal Empire towered up into the sky. The entirety of their aura transformed into a terrifying tempest, clashing against the aura released from all these other experts that stood in opposition to them. The clashes of the auras transformed into a formless screen of light that expanded unceasingly, enveloping this entire area.

”I just want to know if the Evergreen Immortal Empire would honor the agreement. Will you hand over the females or not?” That immortal emperor from Skymist spoke, causing the intensity of their anger to soar even higher. Hand the females over? Was the Skymist Empire treating the princesses of the Evergreen Immortal Empire as their prisoners?

Leaving aside princesses who had a lofty status. Even daughters of nobility wouldnʼt stand for such an insult.

”No.”

A voice thundered throughout the air, originating from within the imperial palace. The eyes of the nobles all flashed as they turned their heads. A moment later, a figure could be seen appearing high up in the air, radiating a scintillating light, akin to a divinity.

”We pay our respects to the great emperor.” The nobles of the Evergreen Immortal Empire simultaneously knelt down. The might gushing forth from the Evergreen Immortal Emperor permeated the atmosphere and enveloped this entire space.

”The envoys from Skymist pays our respects to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.” The experts from Skymist bowed, appearing extremely polite. However, there was not a trace of respect in their eyes.

”Evergreen Immortal Emperor, the agreement made in the past between our two empires, we sincerely hope that you would honor it, allowing us to bring back the two princesses.” The immortal emperor from Skymist spoke. Even in the face of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, he showed no fear at all.

The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stood in the air, staring at the opposing emperor. He didnʼt say anything but his gaze was incomparably sharp, as though he wanted to penetrate his opponent. Only after a long moment did he speak, ”The adjudication ruling? Very well, since you all believe in the adjudication of the immortal realms so much, let me announce this then. I donʼt agree with the ruling, and I welcome the adjudication battle that follows.”

His voice rang out far and wide, causing the hearts of countless people to tremble. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor was willing to fight the adjudication battle.

The eyes of the immortal emperor from Skymist flashed, he stared at the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as he spoke. ”Since this is the case, which cultivation realm do you want to select for the battle? Immortal-foundation, or the immortal king realm?”

The eyes of this immortal emperor flickered with sharpness, an adjudication battle was a large-scale battle of massacre. With so many allies, if the Evergreen Immortal Emperor really wants to fight, the number of casualties would be unthinkable.

After all, the adjudication battle was a life-and-death battle.

The nobles of the Evergreen Immortal Empire also felt their hearts trembling. Seems like the Evergreen Immortal Emperor already planned for this and he was willing to fight the adjudication battle. Naturally this was also something that couldnʼt be help. If he obediently handed over the two princesses, the reputation of the Evergreen Immortal Empire would forever be tarnished, becoming a joke of the immortal realms.

The Evergreen Immortal Empire would rather fight than to submit.

”Immortal foundation.” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke. This was within the expectations of the crowd. Immortal kings are considered the core and backbone of a sect or clan. Even to an immortal empire, immortal kings are extremely important characters. For a large scale adjudication battle, neither side would be able to afford the losses.

”The battle from the adjudication ruling will need a minimum of eighty-one experts. This is something both sides must agree on. Evergreen Immortal Emperor, how many people do you want to send for each cultivation level?” That immortal emperor from the Skymist Immortal Empire asked.

”In this era, there are no more ancient emperors. Doesnʼt that make the adjudication battle somewhat like a joke? But since the Skymist Immortal Empire wished to pass the adjudication ruling no matter what, let me show the immortal realms... an era where ancient emperors would once again appear!” The Evergreen Immortal Emperor slowly spoke. He stomped forcefully on the ground as he inclined his head, staring at the sky. In an instant, the entire stretch of sky was transformed into a boundless starry space.

”What is the Evergreen Immortal Emperor planning to do?” The eyes of everyone flickered, filled with a lack of comprehension.

”An era where ancient emperors would once again appear?” The gazes of the experts from the Skymist Immortal Empire flickered. In the air, astral energy transformed into the dao of the heavens and earth, opening up a path among the stars. This ancient path was resplendent and had a majesticness that caused everyone to feel awe from their souls.

At the very end of the starry path, a towering and imposing palace could be seen, shimmering in and out of existence as it cast its projection downwards.

”Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy! He is summoning the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy.” The immortal emperor from the Skymist Immortal Empire felt his heart trembling. For those beside him, they all had a lost look on their faces as they stared blankly at the projection of the majestic academy.
