Qin Wentian glanced at the spot where the mysterious figure vanished. His heart shook as he recalled the words spoken by that expert.

There were major characters of the immortal realms who came here to the forbidden ground, wanting to explore and probe the secrets. However, none of them knew that they only saw what that mysterious figure wanted them to see, everything was in his control. If it wasn’t for that mysterious figure having taken a vow not to kill, all those major characters would have already died.

That mysterious figure was then the king of this forbidden ground.

Dispelling all the random thoughts in his heart, Qin Wentian quieted his mind. He drew a deep breath and began his cultivation journey once more.

"There’s dao in the heavens and earth, I need to seek them." Qin Wentian mumbled. He wandered about the ancient city, everytime he arrived at a terrifying place, he would sit down and contemplate on the law fluctuations, and the traces of their source origins. Gradually, he attempted to control, to evolve, and to form his own dao of law.

This vast city was like another world. If there were major powers in this place in the past, Qin Wentian didn’t even dare to estimate their strength. The powers of the ancient era, didn’t ancient emperors exist then?

In fact, Qin Wentian was thinking that there would still be a surviving ancient emperor in this current era? Even if the ancient emperor didn’t show himself, it didn’t mean that none existed. They might be living in seclusion and wouldn’t proclaim themselves to be the hegemon of this era unless they really had the intention to.

Time flowed by, it has already been several years since Qin Wentian entered the forbidden ground. During this time, currents in the dark were moving in the eastern regions of the immortal realms. Although the various powers didn’t directly cause a war to erupt, there would often be small-scale battles. For example, the descendants of the Evergreen Empire would frequently find themselves in conflict. In fact, there were even descendants of nobility who died when they were out tempering themselves.

Clearly, things weren’t peaceful at all and someone was in the shadows, planning all this, slowly weakening the strength of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

All this small-scaled combat might seem random but in fact, the currents in the dark would definitely have a devastating effect once they erupted.

Qin Wentian had completely vanished, no one in the eastern regions knew where he went. There were rumors he returned to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect and was in closed-door seclusion, preparing to break through to the immortal king realm.

Hence, during this period of time, the days of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect weren’t peaceful as well. The Eastern Sage Immortal Sect began large-scale combat, with many immortal kings sent out as generals, and started piling up the pressure, slowly encroaching the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect’s territory.

In response, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect adopted a defensive stance, slowly giving an inch while the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect kept forcing things. In fact, among the immortal kings sent out, the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect discovered that there were quite a few immortal kings on the side of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect who weren’t part of their sect at all.

Everyone knew what was going on, but they can’t do anything. Right now, conflict has already formed and unless immortal emperors stepped out to fight a decisive battle, they could only continued on with immortal king-ranked battles.

For battles in the immortal realms, a majority of them would be of extremely long durations. It was evident the current situation would intensify in the future.

At the same time, the close friends and kin of Qin Wentian were all silently sent away to various parts of the immortal realms for their cultivation by the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.

Right now, in a certain immortal mountain in the eastern regions, there was an emperor-ranked power named the Unaging Immortal Mountain.

The master of this mountain was an very old immortal emperor. His age was even older compared to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, but his cultivation level was lower, stuck at the initial-stage of the immortal emperor realm. Hence, although he was the master of an emperor-ranked power, he had no way to become the hegemon of an area.

Also, the Unaging Immortal Emperor didn’t have the ambition for conquest. He was proficient in pill concoction, and hence, the other major powers weren’t willing to offend him, they would all rather be friends with him.

Hence, the Undying Immortal Mountain was considered a holy land of the eastern regions, and resembled the God Hand Mountain Manor of Emperor Yu. It was just that the God Hand Mountain Manor didn’t accept disciples, Emperor Yu was a recluse, preferring to live a life hidden away from the world. Right now, his only goal was to protect the entrance of the dimension leading to the Battle Saint Tribe. action

The Undying Immortal Emperor was different, he accepted many disciples, and on this mountain range, there were many ancient peaks, lorded over by his chosen disciples and their own disciples.

On one of the ancient peaks, there was a small commotion during these years.

Because, a few years ago, a new disciple joined their sect. This female was flawlessly beautiful, like a celestial maiden, causing envy and jealousy in females, while adoration in males.

If it was just a pretty face, it was still fine. But later on, she showed startling talent in pill concoction and was heavily favored by her master, treating her as a treasure.

At this moment, this maiden stood before the cliff of the ancient peak and was staring into the horizons. Her beautiful eyes were seemingly able to pierce through space, and she was somewhat in a daze, as though longing for somebody.

"Qingcheng." At this moment, a beautiful female walked over and stood beside her. Upon staring at Mo Qingcheng’s beautiful face, this female couldn’t help but to smile. "Staring at the clouds in a daze again, who are you thinking about?"

"Senior sister." Mo Qingcheng smiled but she didn’t reply. She wasn’t that well known here and although she was the wife of Qin Wentian, other than those from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, not many knew of her existence. Also for this place, although the Emperor Lord arranged for her to be here, she didn’t use his name to become a disciple, but rather, she depended on her own abilities. Hence, not many people knew of her.

However, although they didn’t know her, this didn’t mean that they didn’t know of Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian’s name was too famous in the eastern regions. Even in a place like the Unaging Immortal Mountain, people would still have heard of it.

"There are a few seniors from the main peak that have come over to our place. Everyone knows their intentions. Qingcheng, ever since you came, the frequency in which they came over has increased tremendously. Your charm is truly great." That beautiful lady smiled. Mo Qingcheng’s expression was as calm as ever. She merely smiled slightly, and continued looking into the horizons, at the floating clouds.

"Senior sister, I came to the Undying Immortal Mountain simply for cultivation. I don’t wish to be disturbed by matters of the secular world." Mo Qingcheng spoke in a low voice. She knew Qin Wentian was outstanding, although she wouldn’t be able to chase up to him, at the very least, she didn’t want to remain so far behind. She had to continue climbing upwards and this way, she at the very least wouldn’t be that far away from him. Of course, it would be for the best if her achievements in pill concoction would be able to aid him in the future.

She truly worked very hard and put all her heart into practicing pill concoction. Although her talent couldn’t be compared to Qin Wentian, she was baptized once before by the Sacred Luminance and she was someone who had entered the sacred academy, listening to the dao lectures there. Hence, in this Unaging Immortal Mountain, she was still considered extremely outstanding.

"But there are a few senior brothers who enjoys the favor of our teacher and the ancestor. Junior sister, won’t you consider them at all?" That female smiled.

Mo Qingcheng shook her head and didn’t reply. That female then spoke, "Alright, I won’t disturb junior sister any longer."

After she spoke, she turned and left and came to another place where many young men gathered.

"Isn’t junior sister Mo around?" Some of the young men asked.

"Junior sister Mo has an empire-toppling countenance and outstanding talent, how would she look up to all of you? She isn’t free to see you." That female smiled, causing the expressions of all the males here to change.

"Mhm, pretending to be pure and noble. I just wanted to chat with her, yet she even needs to put on airs?" A person coldly snorted, and left after flicking his sleeves.

Mo Qingcheng naturally didn’t know about this matter. She was still staring at the clouds. For the extraordinary, they were fated to be envied, adored, evoking jealousy in others. She wouldn’t bother about them. She just had no idea where he was now, and she longed for him very much.

A handsome face seemed to appear among the clouds. Upon seeing that, a radiant smile appeared on Mo Qingcheng’s face.

He was so outstanding, most probably, he would soon reach the immortal king realm. She had the utmost confidence in him.

Just like what Mo Qingcheng was thinking, Qin Wentian was also working very hard. The him now was sitting before a dilapidated palace and at a distance away from him, a giant spear embedded in the ground could be seen. Destructive energy crackled terrifyingly around the area, dangerous to the extreme.

"Laws, laws." Qin Wentian mused. The destructive law energy in the air stirred according to Qin Wentian’s will, flowing towards him before being absorbed into his immortal-foundation.

At this moment, Qin Wentian abruptly stopped. He opened his eyes as they gleamed with sharpness.

"It’s about time, I’m merely a single tiny step away." Qin Wentian stood up. His silhouette sped forth and came to a vast area. In this place, there were no disturbances from any law fluctuations. Only then would he be able to depend on himself to form laws that belonged to his attributes alone.

"There’s still a few months worth of time. Let’s hope I have enough time to take the last step." Qin Wentian closed his eyes and sat down and began to sense the dao of the heavens and earth. After that, under the effects of his immortal sense, the space started churning. This space had formless flows which were invisible and untouchable. One could only feel them through their senses.

"RUMBLE!" Releasing his astral soul, a destructive-attribute ancient halberd materialized in his hands. Destruction-law attribute energy radiated from him, gradually fusing together with the language of destruction laws. Although his immortal-foundation already had the destruction-attribute law, if he wanted to become an immortal king, he had to ensure that a law of his own had to exist within the heavens and earth, present everywhere, creating his law domain, as well as a body of laws.

This was a long process. Qin Wentian used his immortal sense to communicate with the language of laws, wanting to form a resonance. The formless flows flowed unceasingly, according to their own unique rhythm. Gradually, these law flows formed a connection with Qin Wentian’s body, producing a resonance. After that, a dark current of destructive qi flow appeared. Although right now it was only a single strand, this could already be considered a major breakthrough.

Qin Wentian suppressed the excitement in his heart and steadied his mind. He continued to focus. Right now, he was truly infinitesimally close to the immortal king realm, just a tiny step away from it!
