"The Saber-Sword Immortal King. Why have I never heard of him?"

"Such a magnificent character, he shouldn't be nameless. His fame should be enough to shake an entire region."

"Being able to kill a peak-stage immortal king from the Paragon Sword Sect. This man's combat prowess might be among the most outstanding of those who stand at the peak. If his cultivation base was higher, he would definitely be able to truly compete with those elites."

Many thoughts flashed through the minds of the crowd, all of them shocked by Qin Wentian. The emperor's fate behind Qin Wentian grew even more dazzling. Clearly, the immortal kings here now all respected him, he had absorbed their faith and belief in him, causing his emperor's fate to intensify. In addition to his awesome battle achievements, his emperor's fate had already exceeded many people in the City of Ancient Emperors. Even that peak-stage immortal king earlier didn't have emperor's fate that was brighter than Qin Wentian.

At this moment, Qin Wentian directly departed, soaring into the distance as he vanished completely after a few short moments.

Right now, exclamations rang out loud in this space where he was in.

"Everyone, did any of you hear the name of the Saber-Sword Immortal King before?" Someone curiously asked.

"Nope."

"No, I wonder which region he is from."

Everyone started discussing, feeling very surprised. To think that there was actually no one who has heard of him before.

"Seems like the rumor circulating around the world is true. The era has changed, we can be sure of this point just seeing the circumstances in the City of Ancient Emperors. Now, with the gathering of so many geniuses here, the ones standing at the end would definitely be extraordinary figures. I wonder how many of these characters would appear, able to reign supreme through the City of Ancient Emperors." Someone mumbled in a low voice.

"Yeah. That crown prince of the Taihua Immortal Dynasty was killed so easy. That peak-stage immortal king from the Paragon Sword Sect also died by a single sword strike. So many immortal kings ganged up on the Saber-Sword Immortal King yet they all died and he wasn't even injured. The situation in the City of Ancient Emperors now is completely different from the past, things are really too crazy. All of us might be immortal kings, even rulers of some areas in the immortal realms. But now, our strength is truly insufficient compared to them." Another expert silently mused. Although they were immortal kings, they couldn't help feeling insignificant in comparison.

"That's right. Seems like for this journey to the City of Ancient Emperors, the vast majority of us can only be spectators, watching to see the rise of those true supreme experts."

All of them had different emotions. During these days in the City of Ancient Emperors, all of them could feel that the era has changed. The immortal realms will welcome a new era.

Qin Wentian didn't know what the others thought of him. Right now, he was rushing ahead, flying with lightning speed. His movements were like a great roc as he arced through the sky, the only thought in his mind was the safety of Bai Qing.

Bai Qing came from the Myriad Devil Islands, after arriving here, she started to hunt Zi Daolong. All this was done for his sake. That little lass's personality has never changed, always giving her all for him behind his back.

The son of the Violet Emperor, Zi Daolong, was not an ordinary character. In addition, many powers in the east have long formed an alliance. Upon thinking of so many powers facing off against Bai Qing, how could Qin Wentian not be worried?

Finally, Qin Wentian saw that ahead of him, numerous palaces existed. The experts here were as many as the clouds, each standing in different locations. In the center, there was a gigantic battlefield where multiple immortal kings were fighting. Devil might churned wildly inside there, and violet qi ran rampant, with sword qi also permeating the area.

"Little Qing." Qin Wentian stared at the battlefield as his eyes landed on a group of devil cultivators. Up ahead, at the front of those people, a figure exuding magnificence with a blood-red crown on her head could be seen. A veil masked her features but Qin Wentian could tell that this was none other than Bai Qing. Indeed, she has arrived.

"Even the damnable monk has come." Qin Wentian glanced over at another direction and saw Bujie. Right now, Bujie had long flowing black hair and there were many experts around him, protecting his safety. "Seems like this fellow is doing very well for himself in the Myriad Ancient Devil Hall." Qin Wentian silently mused. At the next moment, he noticed a gaze trained on him, it was actually none other than Bujie. As someone who practiced the buddhist-path, Bujie's senses were extraordinarily sharp, he could sense that Qin Wentian had glanced at him, and hence, he looked back. His eyes shone with a faint golden luster, wanting to see through the void, prying through the mysterious person staring at him.

However, Qin Wentian's robes and mask were too powerful. Their concealment abilities were too strong for Bujie to unravel at his current cultivation level. Bujie only had a look of bewilderment on his face before he finally shifted his eyes away, continuing to pay attention to the battlefield.

Qin Wentian then glanced towards those figures fighting against Bai Qing. As expected, it was none other than Zi Daolong and his allies. There were experts from the Paragon Sword Sect, Skymist Immortal Empire and others from their alliance.

In the past, inside the City of Ancient Emperors, Mo Xie slew Zi Daoyang. The Violet Emperor couldn't manage to get ahold of Mo Xie and decided to transfer his anger onto Qin Wentian, commanding Zi Daolong to head to the Evergreen Immortal Empire and the Southern Phoenix Clan to capture him. After that, this debt wasn't cleared yet and the hatred between both sides only grew deeper and deeper.

"Bujie, as someone from the Askheart Temple, not only did you return to the secular world, you actually became a devil cultivator instead, giving up on yourself. As one of the three most outstanding monks of the Askheart Temple in this generation, you chose to embrace the devil. What place does the Askheart Temple have in your heart?" An expert glanced at Bujie and coldly spoke. It was none other than an immortal king from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, a power that is situated in the central regions, the same as the Askheart Temple.

Bujie's strength was extraordinary. Only the three most outstanding monks from the Askheart Temple could wander the immortal realms every generation. One can say that he is someone heavily nurtured by the Askheart Temple. Yet now, he actually became a devil cultivator and was protected by them. Wasn't this simply disgraceful?

"In the temple, my master and senior brothers guided me by telling me to experience all joys and sorrows in life. I have to travel ten thousand miles, comprehending the obscure thing that is human nature. By joining the devils, it's also considered a type of life experience. I'm merely following the instructions by my master and senior brothers. By seeing through the difference between buddha and the devil, only then can I see past all illusions, focusing the devotion of my heart towards buddha entirely."

What sort of character was Bujie? He was an extremely shameless one! Wanting to talk about logic with him? How could anyone win a war of words against him? Let alone, his shamelessness was something feared even by Qin Wentian.

"By falling so low and joining the devil-path, you still can speak with so much self-righteousness. You are simply the shame of the buddhist-path." That expert from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire coldly replied.

"Once, I've also considered whether my actions would go against the buddhist-path. However, after many days of comprehension, I finally understood the essence of the buddhist-path. As the adage has it, if I don't enter hell, who will? By entering the devil-path, I can fully understand it. If I can convert the entire Myriad Devil Islands, wouldn't that be a meritorious deed to the whole world? This is then the major path all buddhist practitioners should take. For this, I wouldn't mind sacrificing my reputation." Bujie's voice was solemn as he spoke with a straight face. His shamelessness has completely reached another level. Even the ancestors of the buddhist-path would bow down in gratitude to him when they heard his words.

"What a glib tongue. Someone like you joining the buddhist-path is truly the greatest joke under the heavens." The immortal king rudely replied.

"I heard that you meditate often in closed-door seclusion, sitting on a prayer mat and worked assiduously for many years before having the achievements you have today. Right now, even the mat you were sitting on in close-door seclusion already has a weird smell to it." Bujie calmly spoke, suddenly changing the topic to something seemingly irrelevant. This caused the immortal king from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire to start. "What do you mean?"

Buije placed his palms together, as he calmly spoke with the bearing of a sage, "You sitting on the prayer mat, naturally has nothing to do with me."

That expert froze, he still didn't understand. But at this moment, the sound of a laughter quickly suppressed could be heard. Someone in the crowd understood.

"Nothing much." That person closed his mouth, not daring to say anything more. But at this moment, another voice rang out, "You meditating on the praying mat and a weird smell is born? That's naturally something to do with your farting problems. Hahaha, what a great joke."

All the experts froze, there were some who were even peppered with faces full of black lines. They stared at Bujie. This monk...even when he is cursing at someone, his words were so filled with philosophical theory.

The face of that immortal king alternated between shades of green and white. He stared at Bujie. Bujie's meaning was clear. About his joining the devil-path, even the Askheart Temple didn't care about it. What the hell has this got to do with him, a random person from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire.

When they were conversing, the experts on both sides retreated to their own camps, neither could do anything to the other. There were a few people injured but their auras were still as violent as ever as they stared daggers at their opponents.

"I've never offended any powers in the Myriad Devil Islands. As the judiciary priestess, you actually want to deal with me for the sake of Qin Wentian. If the Judiciary Devil Hall learns of this, they probably wouldn't allow you to act so rashly. Seems like the words from the mouths of people of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire were right. Qin Wentian must be your secret lover. What a joke, the priestess of the esteemed Judiciary Devil Hall has a lover that's an immortal cultivator? Such a ridiculous thing can actually happen. The Judiciary Devil Hall is truly an interesting place."

Zi Daolong coldly spoke, mocking Bai Qing.

Before this, Bai Qing brought her forces to hunt him and he had no idea why she was doing so. After that, when he met with the people from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire, only then did he learn of the information that back then during the adjudication battle, the priestess of the Judiciary Devil Hall, Bai Qing, was actually an acquaintance of Qin Wentian. This matter was known to everyone who was on the devil mountain then.

Hence, Zi Daolong finally understood why these devil cultivators wanted to deal with him.

When Qin Wentian heard Zi Daolong insulting Bai Qing, an extremely cold light gleamed in his eyes. However, Bai Qing's expression didn't change. She was as cold as ever as she stared at Zi Daolong.

"Your father is a peak-stage immortal king yet he actually sneaked attacked a junior that's so much younger than you. Everyone in the world knows about this. No matter how interesting the Judiciary Devil Hall is, it would never be as shameless as your dear father." Bujie laughed loudly. Zi Daolong's eyes flickered with violet light, he stared at Bai Qing and Bujie as he spoke, "Qin Wentian is too rebellious and disrespectful of the elder generations, he has to die for sure. Right now, I wonder where he is hiding at, struggling like a maggot on death's door. If he dares to appear, I will definitely finish him off. As for you people who want to take the initiative to act for him, you all can fight with me one on one. I will accept all challenges."

"You are a peak-stage immortal king yet you want to fight one-on-one with us?" Bujie stared at Zi Daolong as he spoke. "As expected, the son is like the father, one more shameless than the other."

"As long as I'm alive, I will definitely kill you." An icy voice rang out, spoken by Bai Qing, her tone filled with an immense resolution. As long as she was alive, she would spare no expense to hunt down Zi Daolong, regardless of the methods she had to use.

Zi Daolong's eyes narrowed, gleaming with violet light. He glanced at the surrounding experts and spoke, "Everyone, these devil cultivators have always been ruthless, they can be even crueller than the greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range. Our immortal realms have always been in opposition with them. Why don't we take this chance and slaughter them all?"

* Bujie is making a pun. 关你屁事 can be translated to what has this got to do with you? Or more literally, it can be loosely translated to, 'your farting matters.'
