Chapter 1902: Suspicion
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
The Heaven Vault shuddered, the experts in the vault grew increasingly fewer, all of them leaving it and gathering at the Boundless Sea Region.
Some of these people were from the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
“That’s Qin Zheng. Qin Zheng’s clan members as well as the Heaven’s Son, Qin Dangtian. Who is that old man walking before them?”
“He is Qin Ding from the Qin Clan. In the past, he was a legendary character that could call the rain and summon the wind in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” The eyes of some people gleamed with sharpness.
“Even Qin Ding came?” Many people exclaimed.
“The Nine Heavens Mystical Maiden also came out. How beautiful, her beauty is truly unrivalled in the world. Even the fairies of the Nine Mystical Palace are extremely beautiful.”
“The mystical maiden of the junior generations has also broken through to the Heavenly Deity Realm. How powerful. Look, there’s a young man beside her.”
“That is Lin Xiao, someone who wishes to woo the mystical maiden. He is the successor of the Qiankun Sect and has also broken through to the heavenly deity realm. This time around, seems like there are many geniuses who achieved a transformation during their visit to the Heaven Vault, managing to verify their daos. Next, in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, a glorious era is about to unfold.”
More and more experts continued to walk out from the Heaven Vault. The heavenly eye gradually closed bit by bit and it appeared that it was on the verge of closing completely.
Finally, when no more people walked out from the Heaven Vault, a thunderous rumbling sound rang out. The heavenly eye closed directly and the Heaven Vault seemed to vanish from the world. Right now in the airspace above the boundless sea region, there was only the sky, the Heaven Vault has disappeared.
“It vanished.” Many experts silently sighed. During these two hundred plus years, they had gained many insights. This time around, the Heaven Vault’s secret had been exposed to all and everyone knew that it connected the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to the nine heavenly layers. Sadly, it only lasted for two hundred years. If not, the existence of the Heaven Vault would surely allow geniuses of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to grow even faster as more and more heavenly deities appeared.
Nobody knew when the next opening of the Heaven Vault would be.
After Qin Dangtian came out. He glanced at his surroundings. After that, he saw the figure he was looking for and instantly sped over there. Before him, a maiden as beautiful as a celestial appeared. This was none other than the number one beauty of the Heaven Region, Nichang.
“Nichang, how has your cultivation been through these years?” Qin Dangtian asked.
It has been over two hundred years. When she saw Qin Dangtian again, Goddess Nichang’s expression was still as calm as ever. She nodded her head lightly.
Qin Ding glanced over in this direction. He then asked Qin Zheng, “Is this the granddaughter of Qu Shen who has a marriage engagement with Dang`er?”
“Mhm.” Qin Zheng nodded.
“Recently, there are some rumors that darken her reputation spreading around in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Qin Ding calmly spoke.
“What rumors?” Qin Zheng was puzzled. He was trapped inside the Gods Extinction Path and didn’t know about matters in the external world.
Qin Ding then revealed the rumors about Qin Wentian and Nichang. Qin Zheng’s expression grew extremely unsightly. This was a heavy blow to the reputation of their Qin Clan. Qin Dangtian seemed to have sensed something and glanced over in their direction. After that, he spoke to Nichang, “Nichang, my grandpa is here. Let’s go and pay our respects to him, alright?”
Goddess Nichang glanced at Qin Ding. After that, she followed Qin Dangtian and went over to Qin Ding’s side. She didn’t say anything. Qin Ding’s gaze was filled with an imposing might, he stared at Goddess Nichang as he spoke, “Nichang, I’m a very old friend of your grandfather. I’m sure you have heard of the rumors about you circulating recently in the immortal realms. Back then, did Qin Wentian do anything to you?”
Goddess Nichang turned pale upon hearing Qin Ding’s questions, her expression grew unsightly. She inclined her head and stared at Qin Ding as she icily replied. “No.”
Qin Ding stared at her eyes before nodding, “It’s good then. Let’s find a time for your wedding with Dang`er. I will go and discuss with your grandpa now. Let’s go together.”
Their figures flashed as they sped away. Qin Zheng and his wife both were frowning.
“Qin Wentian, how did he leave the Gods Extinction Path?” Qin Zheng couldn’t understand this. The recent rumors between Qin Wentian and Nichang in the outside world were after they had entered the Gods Extinction Path. Since this is the case, it meant that Qin Wentian had left the dark void earlier than them.”
“It might be because of Qin Tiangang?” Qin Ding calmly spoke. His younger brother had been in the Gods Extinction Path for so many years. It wasn’t surprising that he might have found an exit.
Qin Zheng’s eyes flashed. This was possible indeed. Although the probability wasn’t high, but if one was to tell him that Qin Wentian depended on himself to leave the Gods Extinction Path, he wouldn’t believe it.
The countless people in the Boundless Sea Region gradually dispersed as they left the area.
Now, in amidst the starry space of the nine heavenly layers in the Heaven Vault, the atmosphere had turned completely silent. Qin Wentian walked out and arrived at the ancient heaven vault path. This pathway that was supposed to have vanished, now became extremely clear and solid again. There were no signs that it was going to disappear.
“Wentian.” Luoshen Chuan’s figure sped over. He then asked, “Right now, you are already in complete control of Heaven Vault?”
“Yes, grandfather. In the future, all of you can set your hearts at ease and cultivate here. Without my permission, no outsiders can venture in.” Qin Wentian smiled. Numerous figures appeared and flew over, all of them were Qin Wentian’s friends and family. They listened to Qin Wentian’s words and didn’t exit but they did notice that everyone else had left. At this moment, they all crowded around Qin Wentian, not understanding what had happened.
“Wentian gege, why did the vanishing heaven vault path became stable again?” Bai Qing asked.
Qin Wentian stretched out his hand and ruffled her hair, he gently laughed, “This heaven vault path is already under my control.”
A bright light flashed in Bai Qing’s beautiful eyes, “In that case, doesn’t that mean that we can cultivate in here forever? In addition, Wentian gege, you are the one who decides who can enter?”
Qin Wentian nodded, the hearts of everyone trembled. Even Luoshen Chuan was shocked. He knew what this implied. It meant that in the future, Qin Wentian was able to create peak-tier experts in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. It was too terrifying.
For example, if Qin Wentian permits the experts of the Luoshen Clan to enter. In the future, how terrifying would the Luoshen Clan’s development be? Most probably their strength would soon surpass the Divine Ox Clan. As long as they have enough time, they would surely be able to attain their past glory once more.
“In that case, the members of the Battle Saint Tribe can also come here to cultivate in the future?” Qi Yu exclaimed.
“That’s only natural.”
“Wentian, the people of my Southern Phoenix Clan would like to come here as well.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch laughed.
“Yaoyue, since you have spoken, there naturally won’t be a problem.” Qin Wentian smiled. His eyes flashed. In the future, his friends, family and followers all can cultivate in the Heaven Vault.
“Grandfather, didn’t you say that there are many people in the Luoshen Clan who wish to follow you? In the past, you didn’t want to further fragment the Luoshen Clan. You were also worried because if you have a fixed base, enemies might attack it and it wasn’t convenient for too many people from the Luoshen Clan to follow you. But now, this problem is solved. You can slowly contact those loyal to you and get them to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. I’m sure the Luoshen Clan would rise up once again.” Qin Wentian spoke. The Luoshen Clan was his mother’s clan, the heartblood of his grandfather. In addition, they were already considered quite a strong force. Qin Wentian naturally wanted to nurture the experts from the Luoshen Clan properly and produce peak-tier combatants.
“Right.” Luoshen Chuan didn’t reject. With such good cultivating conditions, he naturally hoped that the people of the Luoshen Clan would be able to enjoy it.
…
After Qin Ding’s group left Heaven Vault, they headed towards Qu Shen’s residence in Boundless City and were discussing about the marriage between Qin Dangtian and Nichang. There were rumors saying that Qu Shen was very unhappy about something and didn’t wish to fix a date so fast, it was unknown what his intentions were. But Qin Ding’s attitude was like iron, he directly set a date and left with Qin Zheng and the others, returning back to the Qin Clan.
Naturally, no one knew of the true details. There was someone who said that after the Qin Clan left, Deity Qu was incomparably enraged. Both he and Goddess Nichang didn’t step out of their residence at all after that. This couple that was proclaimed as an immortal couple in the past seemed to have a shadow cast on their relationship now. Maybe, it was due to the rumors between Goddess Nichang and Qin Wentian back then.
In any case, currently, Qin Wentian still had the name of the number one shameless heavenly deity in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
After Qin Zheng returned to the Qin Clan, the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was fishy regarding the closure of the Heaven Vault.
In a majestic ancient hall within the Qin Clan, his brows were furrowed as he heard the news brought to him by his subordinate. Although they left the Heaven Vault, they had stationed people there until the Heaven Vault closed completely. But even so, they didn’t see Qin Wentian or Luoshen Chuan leaving the place. At that time, as long as either one of them appeared, Qin Zheng would instantly head back to capture them. However, they didn’t come out at all. Both Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan seemed like they had already left the Heaven Vault long ago.
Those informants sent to the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms stated that during the past two hundred plus years, Qin Wentian had returned numerous times and even brought some people from Azure Mystic away. It was unknown if they were heading towards the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms but the chances are high that it was so. Qin Wentian should be bringing them to the Heaven Vault.
Also, Qin Wentian had managed to leave the Gods Extinction Path earlier than them. The Gods Extinction Path had vanished before the Heaven Vault’s closure. Qin Zheng kept feeling that something was wrong somewhere.
This was especially so when he recalled some matters of the past. Qin Yuanfeng had obtained that mysterious treasure which seemed to have been given to him by Qin Tiangang who obtained it from the Heaven Vault. What was the reason why the Qin Clan has always been trying to force Qin Yuanfeng out? It was the same reason why they wanted to capture Qin Wentian alive.
He frowned as he silently mused, could it be that supreme treasure has already been passed on by Qin Yuanfeng to Qin Wentian?
And Qin Wentian, depending on that treasure, managed to solve the mystery of Heaven Vault and cause the Gods Extinction Path to disappear and the Heaven Vault to close?
One couldn’t help but say that Qin Zheng’s conjecture was the truth. But this was just speculation on his part after all. He couldn’t ignore the unease in his heart, hence he gave an order, “Send people to monitor the area around Heaven Vault and Azure Mystic. The people at the Heaven Vault’s area need not be strong, just pretend that they are cultivating in the boundless sea region.”
“Yes.” A subordinate bowed and went to execute his order. Qin Zheng stood up as coldness flickered in his eyes. If his speculations are true, Qin Yuanfeng’s son, Qin Wentian, might have just accomplished something his father had never accomplished before!
