Chapter 1214: Returning Home
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Nanfeng Guhong’s eyes were cold as she stared at the white tigers. In her surroundings, the temperature soared wildly as a wave of heat filled the area.
"Second senior sister, junior apprentice sister Yunchang was killed by Huang Youdi of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire." A disciple of Matriarch Ji’s sect icily spoke.
"If it wasn’t for Qin Wentian aiding us, most probably almost none from our Southern Phoenix Clan would be able to leave the sacred academy alive."
"We are the same as well." Mo Ziyan spoke. The war back then, if Qin Wentian didn’t obstruct Huang Shatian, who would still be able to live?
When these voices rang out, everyone could imagine how cruel the battles in the sacred academy were. The holy maidens of the Southern Phoenix Clan and disciples of Matriarch Ji narrowly escaped with their lives while even a royal prince from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire was killed and the white tigers were barbequed alive. The conflict within would surely have reached an extremely shocking point.
There were also many geniuses from the Myriad Devil Islands who entered the academy. Hence, there were quite a few powerful devil experts here to receive them. At this moment, a terrifying devil emperor stared at everyone as he laughed, "Why do people in the immortal realms love to talk nonsense so much? Since it is a death grudge, just directly fight to the death. What meaning is there to only talk with no action? Those who were killed were none other than the elite juniors of your clans and sects!"
"This fellow..." The countenances of everyone changed. The devil-cultivators from the Myriad Devil Islands most probably wanted nothing more than chaos to erupt among the factions of power in the immortal realms.
However, how could it be so easy to start a war?
Once the incident implicated the various peak powers of the immortal realms, even the violent White Tiger Race would have to think twice before they decided to start a war. The consequences of a war was something no one would be able to bear.
The white tiger emperor wouldn’t dare to act recklessly and despite Nanfeng Guhong’s anger, she wouldn’t dare to act as well.
"I heard that the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect of the Eastern Regions hasn’t even been established for a hundred years. Right now, you all are still in the midst of fighting against the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. Also, your ally the Evergreen Immortal Empire, is currently the subject of the adjudication ruling by several other peak powers in the east." The human emperor from the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire suddenly spoke, turning his gaze onto the Thousand Transformations Immortal Emperor. He then continued, "I suggest that it would still be for the best if you hand them over to us. The strength received by depending on your allies, is still not your own strength after all.
What sort of power was the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? It was a sect whose history hasn’t even exceeded a hundred years. Even with just a mere immortal emperor here, they dared to stand before the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and protect the people they wanted?
As for the Evergreen Immortal Empire, it was plagued with internal strife and their strength was a far cry from what it used to be. What qualifications do they have to challenge them?
The Southern Phoenix Clan on the other hand was an ancient clan situated in the Southern Regions and has been established for countless years. It had an incomparably deep foundation and was extremely powerful. But that, after all, was a strength that belonged to the Southern Phoenix Clan. Could it be that they would start a war simply because the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire wanted to deal with the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect? This sounded like nothing but a joke.

"The behavior of the Nine-Emperors Immortal Empire and White Tiger Race is truly disappointing." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord coldly replied.
"Seems like you have already made your choice, actually choosing to protect an immortal-foundation character. In that case, I hope you will farewell in the future." As the sound of his voice faded. The human emperor’s body glowed with a bright light that enveloped all his clan members as they disappeared in an instant, directly departing the area.
It was impossible for war to erupt today in such a location. They would return first and discuss the situation while making new plans then.
"Let’s go." The demon emperor from the White Tiger Race let out a low-sounding roar, leading his members away.
"See you again in the Eastern Regions of the immortal realms." Many experts of the Skymist Immortal Empire and the Paragon Sword Sect stared in the direction of Qin Wentian and Qing`er. Clearly, this matter was far from concluded from their perspective.
The end result of the immortal realm adjudication hasn’t even been settled. Up until now, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor still has not handed over his daughter.
Since they already invoked the adjudication, they naturally wanted a conclusion.
"Let us return first." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke to Qin Wentian and his group.
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded. He then turned and glanced at Qing`er, "Qing`er, what are your plans?"
"I will return to my master’s side, and can use the teleportation array there to return home." Qing`er spoke in a light tone of voice. The commotion this time was all because of her, causing her senior sisters to lose their lives. She naturally wanted to first go back to her sect and make a report to her master. If her master wanted to punish her, she would accept it with no qualms.
"Okay." Qin Wentian smiled. Matriarch Ji was a peak-level immortal emperor of the immortal realms and the master of Qing`er. Qin Wentian naturally could set his heart at ease.
"Take care of yourself okay?" Qin Wentian instructed.
"Mhm." Qing`er replied. "Take good care of Qingcheng."
After that, she nodded her head lightly to Mo Qingcheng and went over in the direction of Matriarch Ji’s sect.
"Wentian." Nanfeng Yunxi glanced over. She stated in a worried tone, "The White Tiger Race is a demonic race after all. Their way of doing things are extremely tyrannical and wouldn’t abide by the rules. You have to be careful."
"That’s right, I don’t think they will let the matter rest just like that. This death grudge has already been formed." A maiden from the Southern Phoenix Clan coldly spoke. The holy maidens would definitely focus more on their cultivations upon their return.
"Mhm, holy maidens, farewell and take care." Qin Wentian clasped his hands to them as both parties bid goodbye to each other.
"Brother Qin, remember to share some meat with me in the future if you have some." From another direction, Bujie and his two senior brothers were surrounded by monks.
Qin Wentian glanced at the shameless Bujie as he smiled, "Between brothers, we naturally share weal and woe together. We will feast on more demonic beast meat like kings. Let’s meet again if there’s a chance to in the future."
"Okay. Brother Qin, you must remember your words." Bujie’s eyes gleamed brightly. White tiger meat was simply too delicious, he hasn’t had enough of eating them yet.
"Naturally." Qin Wentian also clasped his hands towards Buchen and Buyu. "This time around in the academy, I offer my thanks to the two reverends for helping me out in my time of need. In the future if you all require anything, I, Qin, will be sure to repay the favor."
"Amitabha." Buyu pressed his hands together, thanking Qin Wentian. Buchen nodded his head. After that, they were surrounded by golden buddhic light as the monks from the Askheart Temple departed the area.
The various experts left one after another. There were naturally people from the Violet Emperor Sect, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, the Thundergod Hall and the Snowdrift Sage Hall. For Chu Qingyi, she still couldn’t forget about Qin Wentian even after such a long time.
The people from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect all began to depart, soaring up into the air. In the direction of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Ziyu had a smile on his face. This Qin Wentian truly didn’t make him feel disappointment. His rate of improvement was insanely quick. action
As for the devil-experts of the Myriad Devil Islands, the priestess of the Judiciary Hall glanced in the direction of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect as a look of reluctance flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Let’s go." A devil emperor with a terrifying aura spoke as they all left as well.
The wave of commotion rose and quelled but it was only to be expected. With so many immortal emperors present, in the situation where none were truly prepared, it was impossible for war to erupt. The implications would simply be too vast and uncontrollable.
As for the immortal kings who were still in the academy. The various powers naturally wouldn’t send people here to receive them. Immortal kings by themselves were already extremely strong characters. After their trip to the sacred academy, those who managed to live and exit, would only grow even stronger.
...
In the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, a hint of a smile could be seen in Qin Wentian’s eyes as he stared at the familiar buildings here. It was finally time for him to get together with his friends. Although the storm of commotion might rise anytime, they probably would still have a period of time for calmness.
The cultivation path was arduous to walk and time was incomparably precious. His state of heart has been overly focused and tensed up from cultivating in the sacred academy for 50 years. It was about time for him to relax somewhat.
"Emperor Lord, I will return first." Qin Wentian clasped his hands.
"Sure. You should take a break and rest for a period of time. If there’s any news from the outside world, I will naturally inform you." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Many thanks." Qin Wentian bowed. He then brought Mo Qingcheng and his companions to the palace designated for him. Time passed simply too quickly. In the blink of an eye, it has already been 50 years. He had no idea if his other companions were still doing well or not.
Qin Wentian just got back and he was already preparing to visit his foster fathers and his other close friends. But just when he was about to set off, a figure could be seen approaching his residence. Clearly, the news of his and Qingcheng’s return, has already been circulated around the sect.
"Master." Mo Qingcheng smiled when she saw the Medicine Sovereign approaching them.
"Senior Medicine Sovereign." Qin Wentian bowed.
"To think that I was worried that Qingcheng would encounter some trouble when she went to look for you. I can set my heart at ease now, seeing that she has returned safely." The Medicine Sovereign smiled.
"Wentian, you guys are finally back." Ye Qingyun’s silhouette also appeared. Ye Qingyun had been in closed-door seclusion during this period of time, attempting to break through to the immortal-foundation level.
"Foster father, sis Lingshuang." Qin Wentian felt very joyful in his heart when he saw his foster father and foster sister.
"Haha!" A clear and bright voice rang out. His other foster father Qin Chuan and his elder sister Qin Yao also came over. Teacher Mustang and his senior apprentice sister Luo Huan was here as well.
"Wow you seem to have grown even more handsome." Luo Huan walked over, seemingly about to press her body into Qin Wentian’s. Her finger traced about his chin, Qin Wentian to couldn’t help but to laugh or cry. "Senior sister, please spare me."
"Tell us, what cultivation base do you have now?" Luo Huan’s eyes gleamed with a sparkling light.
"Still at the immortal-foundation realm but I can be considered near the upper-tier in terms of strength." Qin Wentian joked. Being together with his close friends were different from tempering himself outside. He was very relaxed and casual.
"Upper-tier in strength?" Luo Huan muttered. There were also some figures from the Battle Sword Sect rushing over, causing Qin Wentian to be a little surprised. The people of the Battle Sword Sect didn’t want to rely on him too much and many of them chose to temper themselves outside the sect. It was very rare for them to gather together."
Duan Han, Ji Feixue, Lou Bingyu and the others appeared among the crowd. In addition, their cultivation bases were much stronger compared to the past. However, they were still stuck at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, unable to step into immortal-foundation yet. Qin Wentian prepared to help all his friends to temper themselves, undergoing the baptism of the Sacred Luminance. That should be able to ignite their potential, allowing them to break through.
"Wentian, you came back just in time. Senior apprentice brother Lin Shuai is about to get married!" Duan Han stepped forth as he laughed.
"Senior brother Lin is going to get married?" A look of joy appeared in Qin Wentian’s gaze. Many years ago back when he was in the Royal Sacred Region, it was none other than his senior Lin Shuai who brought him to the Battle Sword Sect, taking care of him and guiding him. Who would have thought that so many years passed by in the blink of an eye. His senior brother Lin Shuai has now already found someone he loved. He naturally was happy for his senior brother.
"Which maiden is so fortunate? Being able to marry such an outstanding person like senior brother Lin?" Qin Wentian laughed.
"She is someone he got acquainted with when he was adventuring outside. Her clan is situated in the Cloud Prefecture, and she seems to have a very good personality." Ye Lingshuang was happy for Lin Shuai as well. She has always treated him like a real older brother.
"Where is senior Lin now?" Qin Wentian asked, "Why isn’t he here?"
"He’s in his bride-to-be’s clan, busy preparing for his wedding now. Given how vast the Cloud Prefecture is, it wouldn’t be easy if he wished to make a return trip to here. We initially came here to do some preparations but who would have thought that you would choose this moment to return." Everyone laughed. Qin Wentian then nodded his head, indeed, the Cloud Prefecture was extremely vast even to immortal-foundation characters. Many people wouldn’t even able to finish exploring it in their entire lives.
It was only because Qin Wentian had met too many experts and had grown used to the vastness of the immortal realms that he has forgotten how vast a Prefecture would seem to be, to someone below the immortal-foundation realm!
