Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1342: Good Friends

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

The people of the Wan Clan left. They came here with high hopes and longing but left with sorrow and disappointment.

However, there wasnʼt anyone who took note of their existences. In this world, everyone would only pay attention to those legendary characters who stood on the clouds. For example, people like Beiming Nongyue, Qin Wentian, Li Yufeng and the Fairy Jadestage.

These people who sat before the throne, enjoying the banquet, any casual words spoken by them were more dazzling compared to the life and death of the Wan Clan.

”The lady beside Qin Wentian seems to be from the Wan Clan as well. She is so beautiful, like a portrait. Luckily, her judgement is good and didnʼt stand with the rest of the clan, looking down on Qin Wentian. Also, her father is the same as well, and hence, they obtained Qin Wentianʼs friendship, resulting in the fact that they could sit with the princess. What glory was this?”

”The old man from the Wan Clan seemed very restrained. Haha, however, given the sort of people the Princess and the Saint Child are, they would naturally treat him with courtesy. They wouldnʼt be like Duanmu Xiu and Mu Qiu, behaving extremely arrogantly, showing off to the weak.”

Everyone here was fervently discussing what happened earlier.

At the pavilion where the throne was located, Beiming Nongyue smiled at Qin Wentian, ”Brother Qin, since you came here for the Darknorth Immortal Mountain, after the whole thing ends, you definitely have to come to the royal palace for a visit and allow me to show you the grace of being a host.”

”Li Yufeng is already here, do you want me to be a lightbulb when the two of you are dating?” Qin Wentian joked.

”Hey, hey, Iʼm not as grand as Brother Qin, being able to gain the recognition of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor just when you are at the immortal-foundation realm, bethrothing Princess Qing`er to you.” Li Yufeng laughed. He lifted his cup and continued, ”In any case, we do owe Brother Qin a toast. Congratulations.”

Qin Wentianʼs eyes flashed as he stared at Li Yufeng with some surprise in his eyes. The Hundred Refinements Sect was located in the northern regions and was incredibly far away from the eastern regions. Yet, Li Yufeng actually knew of this matter. Seems like the peak powers in the immortal realms were all paying attention to that commotion.

”Yes, we do need to toast Brother Qin.” Beiming Nongyue smiled.

”Oh, Brother Qin and Princess Qing`erʼs marriage is already approved by the Evergreen Immortal Emperor? This is truly an event worthy of joy.” Shen Yuehua also lifted her cup to toast him.

”In that case I, Qin, will have to thank everyone then.” Qin Wentian also wasnʼt polite as he smiled and drained the contents of his wine cup.

Wan Zhuqing felt very restrained here as everyone was far above his league. When he heard Li Yufengʼs words, his eyes flashed and he couldnʼt help but to feel a little disappointed. Before this when he saw how well Qin Wentian was getting along with Zhiyin, he still hoped that what he joked about before would come through. How good would it be if the two of them could really get together.

A bitter smile appeared on his face as Wan Zhuqing abandoned his unrealistic fantasy. Seems like he thought too much. The princess of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty and the Saint Child, Li Yufeng, of the Hundred Refinements Sect, both had such high evaluations towards Qin Wentian, treating him as their good friend. What sort of character was he? How could there be no females in love with him? And how would his background be simple?

And as expected, when he heard that Qin Wentian was going to marry a princess, and it was approved by an immortal emperor. Wan Zhuqing could only sigh in admiration. Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Qin Wentian, a young man which he met by chance, would actually have a status an ordinary immortal king canʼt compare with.

”Which princess of which empire is your fiancee from? Why have I never heard about this before.” Zhiyin smiled at Qin Wentian. Her expression was very calm and was as elegant as before.

”A place very far away, the Evergreen Immortal Empire located in the eastern regions of the immortal realms.” Qin Wentian replied.

”She must be a great beauty right.” Zhiyin mumbled.

”Mhm, sheʼs very beautiful.” Qin Wentian thought of Qing`er as a gentle smile appeared in his eyes. However, he suddenly felt that it wasnʼt too good to keep praising his future wife in front of a beauty. Hence, he hurriedly smiled and added, ”Zhiyin, you are very beautiful too.”

”Thank you.” Zhiyin didnʼt mind it and laughed. Li Yufeng smiled as he stared at the two of them, as an expression of interest appeared on his face.

”Brother Qin, when do you plan to get married with Princess Qing`er?” Li Yufeng asked.

”We still havenʼt thought about it. It should be after I break through to the immortal-king realm as after all, in the immortal realms, immortal-foundation characters are just too weak.” Qin Wentian replied.

Thatʼs true. Although you are now at the peak of immortal-foundation, but as long as you have not broken through to immortal king, you are still considered weak in the perspective of the entire immortal realms. However, I believe that once you step into the immortal king ream, your strength would leap up exponentially. Most probably, ordinary immortal kings wouldnʼt be your match.” Li Yufeng seriously spoke. Everyone in the sacred academy knew of Qin Wentianʼs combat prowess.

”Itʼs still early to speak about this. After all, it isnʼt going to be that easy to break through to immortal king. Letʼs hope the Darknorth Immortal Mountain would be able to provide some aid to my cultivation.” Qin Wentian laughed.

”Haha, thatʼs right. Itʼs just that for Brother Qinʼs future wedding with Princess Qing`er, if I have the time, I would definitely head over there for a drink or two. At that time, Brother Qin wouldnʼt mind it, right?”

”I will naturally welcome you.” Qin Wentian nodded.

”Mhm, me too! I will definitely head there if Iʼm free.” Beiming Nongyue laughed.

”The two of you should stop talking about me. Maybe your wedding would be earlier than mine.” Qin Wentian stared at the loving couple before him. Their statuses determined if they could sit together, but only personality would determine if they would able to become friends. Qin Wentian admired both their personalities and hence, he naturally didnʼt mind making friends with them.

Zhiyin quietly sat there with a smile on her face. Wan Zhuqing naturally didnʼt attempt to begin any conversation as he still felt very restrained. Although Beiming Nongyue and the others didnʼt mind his presence, he was still a little nervous. He had lived for so long but this was the first time he was enjoying such a treatment. Maybe in this lifetime, there wouldnʼt be a second chance for him to experience this.

”Brother Qin, I will go and organize the matter about entering the mountain.” As they chatted, Beiming Nongyue glanced at the crowd. Qin Wentian nodded, ”Princess Nongyue, please feel free to. I will just enjoy drinks with Brother Yufeng.”

”Mhm,” Beiming Nongyue nodded to the maidens of the Jadestage Palace and Zhiyin before she stood up and walked towards the throne. She sat down and glanced at everyone. With a wave of her hands, the crowd started to quiet down. They turned their gazes towards the throne, waiting for Beiming Nongyue to speak.

”The reason why everyone rushed here to the royal capital isnʼt to see me, Beiming Nongyue. Hence, I donʼt wish to delay too much time.” Beiming Nongyue spoke in a teasing manner, causing many people to laugh. This even prompted someone to call out, ”I came here precisely to see Princess.”

When the crowd heard this, they laughed even louder than before. Beiming Nongyue then raised her hand, causing the crowd to quiet down again. When Qin Wentian saw this, he couldnʼt help but to silently be impressed. As expected of a princess of a dynasty, she had her own charm to her. Beiming Nongyueʼs simple words were able to cause laughter, instantly bridging the distance between her and the crowd.

”However, thereʼs something which I must say. The Darknorth Immortal Mountain is a holy ground of cultivation of my Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. After all, since the space is limited, the people cultivating within would surely be disturbed if too many were to enter. Hence, regardless of which batch, the number of entrants would always be limited. I hope that for those who canʼt enter now, please donʼt feel hatred or regret. You can always come and try again next time.”

Beiming Nongyue continued as everyone nodded. The strong shall enter while the weak will not. Everyone could understand this point.

”For those who can enter the immortal mountain, they should all have cultivation bases at the peak of immortal-foundation. The entrance of the mountain is directly located behind me but in order to pass the test, one first has to go through an army of divine puppets stationed below. Thereʼs only one requirement, those flying in the air are not allowed to fly too high.” Beiming Nongyue spoke.

As the sound of her voice faded, the experts behind her moved. One of them took out a supreme treasure, creating numerous powerful puppets in an instant, blocking the entrance of the Darknorth Immortal Mountain.

”Alright, everyone prepare yourselves.” Beiming Nongyue spoke. Everyone nodded as they stepped back, giving space for the crowd. Qin Wentian glanced at the puppet army as he felt shock in his heart. Before the entrance, the formation of puppets were like a huge black web, enveloping all area.

”What level of strength is needed to break through?” Qin Wentian asked.

”As long as one has gained insight into a trace of immortal-king might, there shouldnʼt be any problems for them. These puppets all have combat prowess at the peak of immortal-foundation and because of the formation that was set up, itʼs useless to gang up on the puppets. One has to break through by virtue of single combat.” Beiming Nongyue explained. Qin Wentian nodded, he understood that despite the vast number of people here, the number of people who comprehended a trace of immortal-king might should still be extremely limited.

”Brother Qin if you are in a hurry to enter, you can go in first.” Beiming Nongyue smiled.

”Itʼs better for both me and Qin Wentian to pass the test, in case the others in the crowd are not convinced.” Zhiyin spoke in a gentle voice, she was exceedingly understanding. Beiming Nongyue glanced at her with a trace of admiration in her eyes. Although she didnʼt mind such a minor matter, by being able to be so considerate on behalf of her, clearly indicated that Zhiyinʼs personality wasnʼt bad. Ordinary people wouldnʼt have cared less.

”Zhiyinʼs words are right. If we want to enter, we should also attempt the test.” Qin Wentian laughed. He didnʼt really mind it. Since he came all the way here, he might as well take a look at this test. Things would be alright as long as he didnʼt delay for too long.

”Mhm, alright, the two of you can go and take the test together then.” Beiming Nongyue smiled as she nodded.
