Chapter 1348: Ancient Battlefield?
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Qin Wentian walked up, staring at these naless stone tablets which exuded an ancient aura.
So of these stone tablets had already shattered, and were lying in crumbled pieces on the ground. For others, they were split apart in the middle and below the stone tablets, huge deep holes could be seen.
"Why do I feel that this immortal law mountain range feels like an ancient battlefield? Regardless of that gigantic palm imprint or all these tombstones, it felt like the great war of an era had once erupted here, and the aftermath caused all this uneven ground with craters, wiping out everything, even turning cities into dust. As ti flowed by, this entire place beca an incomparably vast desolate mountain range." Qin Wentian mumbled.
"If this is really a battlefield, this place must be a grave of ancient tis. In that case, what are those holes beneath the stone tablets? Are they the place where those zombie monsters originated from?" The expression of the old man changed. Those monsters were simply too terrifying. Could it be that the dead here could rise again?
"I don’t know but this place is really strange." Qin Wentian continued forward. "That Pei Qing is an immortal emperor, even immortal emperors would co here to cultivate. From this, we can see that there’s definitely a startling secret hidden within the mountain range. If not, just like what you said, as the person who beca an immortal emperor with the fastest record in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, what reason does he have to co here?
"Pei Qing has always been incomparably arrogant. That’s true. He would definitely co here if this place is extraordinary." The old man nodded. Although he wasn’t acquainted with Pei Qing, he had heard too many rumors with regards to the youngest immortal emperor ever in the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty. Pei Qing is an absolute character of the legends, a true supre genius.
Many youths with overwhelming talent would either perish in the end, or reach a bottleneck. However, Pei Qing managed to break through to immortal emperor and nobody dared to doubt his talent. In the immortal dynasty, there was nobody who didn’t know of him.
"Pei Qing is really so aweso?" Qin Wentian curiously asked. He was a little unhappy towards Pei Qing. Although he knew the other party was an immortal emperor, and nobody would dare to say anything when Pei Qing crushed an immortal-foundation character, he was still unhappy about the other party’s attitude even though there was currently an imasurable distance between their strengths.
"Naturally, as the first person in the history of the dynasty who broke through to the immortal emperor realm at such a quick speed, how could he not be strong? Also, no one would dare to say if there were any others in the future who can do the sa he did. However, everyone in the dynasty knows that there’s one more person who might have the talent and ability to surpass Pei Qing but no one knows for sure if that person can achieve it yet." That old man spoke.
"Who?" Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed.
"Her highness, the princess."
"Beiming Nongyue?" Qin Wentian was puzzled.
"No, Princess Nongyue is only at the immortal-foundation realm now, how can she be the one? I’m talking about her elder sister, Beiming Youhuang, the person who is known as the number one beauty of our Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, a true absolute character. It’s rumored that in the future, the position of emperor might not be passed on to the princes but to her instead. Despite the nurous royal descendants, there’s none among them who can compare to her."
"Beiming Youhuang is so powerful?" Qin Wentian was sowhat shocked.
"Seems like Brother Qin’s understanding of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty isn’t very deep at all. Who doesn’t know about Princess Youhuang in our dynasty? Even Pei Qing had always proclaid that he would woo her and make her marry him." The two of them idly chatted, as though the tense atmosphere has alleviated.
"This Pei Qing is really arrogant. But since he wants to woo Beiming Youhuang, why did he kill the other man earlier when he spoke about Beiming Nongyue?"
"Because he was too arrogant, I think he hated the tone of that young man earlier. After those words were spoken, for ordinary immortal kings, they would definitely help us out. But he is Pei Qing! Those words infringed on his pride, and there’s no need for him to care about Princess Nongyue’s feelings. After all, as the youngest immortal emperor in history, he would definitely beco a peak-level emperor in the future and even might have a chance to break past that realm, becoming an ancient emperor. Given how politely the dynasty’s emperor is treating him, as well as the adoration and worship of so many experts, who does he need to put in his eye?"
"That’s true." Qin Wentian nodded. For the youngest immortal emperor in history, as long as there was no hatred between them, who didn’t want to make friends with him?
This graveyard seed extrely large, the stone tablets could be seen everywhere. Qin Wentian was thinking that if this place was really as he had speculated, a battlefield from ancient tis, the number of geniuses buried here would definitely be a terrifying amount.
"This place seems to be safer in comparison. Actually Brother Qin, we still have an option to choose. We could stay here and not leave." The old man spoke.
"There’s no way we can anticipate the danger. For those zombies, who knows when they would appear? It would be dangerous as well even if we stayed here." Qin Wentian shook his head. He didn’t like being passive. He would rather advance forward and although this place was filled with danger, he would still choose to proceed on as long as there was the slightest hint of a chance. In addition, he still had so trump cards he hasn’t used yet.
"What a strong baleful aura." At this mont, their eyes flashed. They continued forward and ca to the boundary of this mountain. Staring at the ravine before them, it felt that the atmosphere here was covered by a sinister cloud, giving the area a gloomy and dark aura. Despite the passage of countless years, the gloomy atmosphere had yet to be alleviated. This place seed to be the gathering of vengeful spirits who died during the ancient war, and the baleful qi originated from this place.
"Should we enter?" That old man glanced at Qin Wentian as he asked.
Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly, "Before entering the forbidden ground, our purpose was to find a sliver of opportunity for us to break through. But after entering, our purpose actually beca to simply live on. How sad."
"That’s true. Without really experiencing true dangers, we would never grow. But once we were t with so many life-threatening situations in here, we have already forgotten what our original purpose for coming in was." The old man sighed.
"Hence, I choose to enter this place. Old sir, you should choose according to your heart." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice. He wouldn’t convince others to follow him. This was his choice and not the choice of others. Everyone would have a choice of their own, and they had to take responsibility for the choice they made.
"Being able to survive up till now, is already a very fortunate matter. I no longer harbor any high hopes. After so many years, I couldn’t take that final step to break through and if I really die here, that would be my destiny. However, before we enter. Can I ask you who are you exactly? Why did both Princess Nongyue and the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinents Sect have such a high evaluation of you? I’ve always been very curious about this."
"My na is Qin Wentian, from the eastern regions of the immortal realms, from an emperor-ranked power. Beiming Nongyue and Li Yufeng treat as their good friend because during the ti when the sacred academy opened, we got acquainted with each other in there. At that ti, Li Yufeng was on the Supre Might Rankings but he was replaced by . Maybe, it’s because of that that he started to notice . In the sacred academy, I created quite a large amount of commotion and warred against the juniors of the other peak powers of the immortal realms. That’s basically the summary of what happened. Nothing special really."
"That’s not special enough?" That old man was speechless when he heard that. He shook his head and bitterly smiled before stepping forward.
"Old sir." Qin Wentian called out. The old man halted, turned and glanced at Qin Wentian.
"Before this, when we were facing the zombie monsters, I couldn’t release any of my aura at all. But in fact, if we weren’t in that situation, as long as I had so ti, there’s a chance I could escape alive. But because of a vow I swore to my sect, I cannot bring old sir along with even if I flee. Hence, there’s no need for you to make the sa choice as . Just like what you said earlier, you might be able to cultivate in safety here and might even have the chance to break through to immortal king before you encounter any more danger."
Qin Wentian was naturally referring to the fact that he could escape by entering the Heavenly Talisman Realm.
Qin Wentian might not be acquainted with this old man and since everyone should take responsibility for their choice to enter the forbidden ground, he actually need not say anything. But now, only the two of them survived. He felt sorrow and naturally wanted the old man to live on if possible. This was why he tried to persuade him.
The eyes of the old man flashed as he turned back and stared at Qin Wentian. As expected of soone from a major power. Even in this forbidden ground, Qin Wentian still had so thods to save his life.
Smiling, he didn’t say anything and chose to continue forward.
Qin Wentian sighed as he stepped out as well, entering the gloomy and dark ravine. Very swiftly, he discovered that the old man in front of him had disappeared.
"Old sir!" Qin Wentian called out, but nobody replied.
"Brother Qin, take care. Live well." Amidst the sinister blanket of cloud, a voice echoed out. The old man decided to roam about alone.
Qin Wentian sighed as he proceeded forward as well. He could finally sense law energy fluctuations again and this ti around, the feeling was exceptionally clear and there wasn’t just a single type of law energy. The law energy fluctuations here seed to be in a chaotic mix.
There were fluctuations of slaughter, destruction, death... And in this depressing atmosphere, he could feel a hint of life too. As though it was possible to co back from death’s door.
Qin Wentian moved towards the source of the baleful qi. The baleful qi grew stronger and stronger and when the law fluctuations were intense enough to shatter everything, he slowed his steps and gaze ahead. Before him was still a blanket of clouds, but within that blanket, there seed to be a suprely cold light, illuminating the area.
That, was a saber, a broken saber with half its original length. But despite it being broken, it still radiated a supre light.
"There’s soone." Abruptly, Qin Wentian saw a human silhouette appearing beside the broken saber. It was a zombie. The head of the zombie was slashed into half as well, and his expression was extrely malevolent. Qin Wentian drew in a breath of cold air and instantly retracted his aura. That silhouette turned to his direction. It felt like he had eyes and knew of Qin Wentian’s existence. However, the zombie didn’t move. He simply stood there beside the saber, radiating waves of longing.
"Is he the owner of the saber?" Qin Wentian’s heart trembled. It was clear that this person had already died. But how could he still be moving?
What place was this exactly?
Qin Wentian attempted to leave this place and as expected, the zombie didn’t bother with him. It was as though after he died, the zombie still had an unquenchable longing for his saber.
Changing direction, Qin Wentian departed from here. He continued to wander in the blanket of clouds. In the atmosphere, the law energy of destruction could be felt. He quietly contemplated it and walked towards the source of it. After that, he t another zombie who was sitting on the ground with a white piece of cloth in its hands. That clothing seed to be for females, and yet despite the zombie who had already died for countless years, it was still filled with longing for the owner of the white clothing.
The aura of destruction was from the clothing. When she was alive, it was unknown how many terrifying destructive attacks she had endured.
Qin Wentian once again changed direction. As he proceeded, he saw many strange scenes and terrifying divine weapons. All of them were things he wasn’t qualified to touch. He also encountered many zombies but all these zombies seed to be filled with their own longing.
