Chapter 891: Intention of the Heavenly Talisman Realm
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord." Qin Wentian and the his fellow sect members inclined their heads and stared at the newcomer, not feeling strange at all. Was this the expert the Heavenly Talisman Realm arranged? It was actually an immortal emperor character.
The Heavenly Talisman Realm was extremely powerful, so powerful that it may exceed Qin Wentian’s imagination. After all, this power which had secretly hidden within a realm of its own had been nurturing many tyrannically powerful experts through the ages, there was no accurate gauge of its true strength.
"Thousand Transformations. Back when we fought for the authority to govern this empire, you were defeated. Yet, now you actually got your disciples to come to my immortal banquet and make trouble?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor stood with his hands clasped behind his back, slowly floating up into the air. An invisible pressure enveloped the skies and earth and although it was formless, it felt extremely oppressive and terrifying.
"What do you mean by making trouble? Your Eastern Sage Immortal Sect organized a banquet and I sent the three of them to take part just to see how powerful the geniuses of your thirteen prefectures are. But you have already seen the result." In the air, the thousands of silhouettes spoke at the same time, their voices converged together and resounded outwards powerfully. It was unknown which one of these is the real Thousand Transformations.
For those who didn’t know who the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was, they were all stunned. This character was actually a long time rival of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor.
In that case, the presence of Qin Wentian and his fellow sect members could be completely explained. So this was the case.
"The Heavenly Talisman Realm seemed to have the intention to create this misunderstanding." They mused in their hearts. With the appearance of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, everyone would take it for granted that they are his disciples. This would lead to them believing that the reason they were here was because the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wanted to act against the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and wouldn’t suspect the existence of any other outside powers at all.
"You nurtured three disciples simply to participate in my event?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor stood in the air and it seemed as though he could see through everything in a single glance. There was no way it was that simple for the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to send three disciples here simply to participate in the immortal banquet.
"Eastern Sage, it’s still you who understands me the best. After I was forced into retreat back then, I wandered the immortal realms and finally returned to the thirteen prefectures today. As your old rival, tell me how should you welcome me back?" The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke again as his pressure enveloped everyone in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect causing everyone there to be extremely nervous.
How could it be so simple that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord just sent three of his disciples to compare them with the other geniuses?
"How do you want me to welcome you?" The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor coldly questioned.
"The thirteen prefectures, split them into east and west. I want six prefectures from you." The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord spoke and as the sound of his words faded, the countenances of all the experts drastically changed.
This Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord actually wanted control of six prefectures the moment he spoke. This time, most probably he came back to seize the position which he lost before.
The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor fell silent. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wanted six out of his thirteen prefectures. This indicated that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord had enough confidence in his own strength and had the capabilities of clashing against him.
In the immortal realms, any conquest of an empire would first depends on the strength of the experts at the very peak. If the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was inferior to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, he wouldn’t have the qualifications to divide his territory. If he was inferior and he forcibly did so, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor would pursue him and hunt him down no matter where he went to. Hence, unless the individual was an extremely cruel and ruthless person, he would know when to retreat when things were impossible instead of playing hide and seek, thereby resulting in a ton of casualties for the other innocent people living in the region. If given a choice, people at their level would naturally abstain from accumulating too much sin from killing innocents. Everything has to be done in accordance to the regulations.
The immortal kings below were all extremely nervous when they stared at the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. Compared to him wanting six prefectures, Qin Wentian and Jun Mengchen obtaining the top two rankings was considered an insignificant matter.
If he wanted six prefectures, this meant that the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had to evacuate all citizens of the six prefectures and gave the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord free reign to govern as he liked. This also meant the division of the thirteen prefectures and the skies would change.
The spectators present at the banquet now might not all be from the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, but they were all people from the thirteen prefectures. The appearance of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord directly influenced them, so how could they not be flustered?
A faint smile appeared on Qin Wentian’s face. Right now he already understood. So it turned out that them participating in this immortal banquet was nothing but the first step in the grand scheme the Heavenly Talisman Realm prepared. The true intentions of the Heavenly Talisman Realm is actually to govern six out of the thirteen prefectures.
"Is the Heavenly Talisman Realm preparing to set up a visible base in the immortal realms?" Qin Wentian silently mused.
"Wrong. The Heavenly Talisman Realm shouldn't want to reveal their presence yet. If not, with the strength of our sect, there would be no problems to take over all thirteen prefectures. There's basically no need for the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord to appear here to request for six out of the thirteen prefectures. This should just be the beginning phase and given that the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord is an old rival of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, him being here to take back what he once lost was totally logical. No one would suspect anything."
Qin Wentian analysed silently. The Heavenly Talisman Realm wanted to have a visible front of operations in the immortal realms but is still unwilling to reveal any traces of their presence.
"Seems like you came here prepared." The tone of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was more solemn than ever. He then continued, "Which six do you want?"
"Your Eastern Sage Immortal Sect is located in the Eastern Prefecture, I naturally wouldn't make things difficult for you. If I win, I want the six western-most prefectures. The controller of the other seven is still you." Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord replied.
"It has been such a long time since I fought. I didn't expect that I would be fighting here at my Eastern Sage Immortal Sect today." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor emotionlessly stated. According to the rules of the immortal realms, if the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wanted part of a territory, he first had to clash with the strongest power at the peak. Hence, he needed to fight against the current owner, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor no matter what or he wouldn't be qualified enough to ask him to divide his territories.
As the sound of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor’s voice faded, boundless immortal light radiated forth from his body. Such a radiance was so blinding that no one could even open their eyes. With a casual-looking punch, the entire space between them broke apart as terrifying spatial rifts appeared. Countless fist shadows covered the entire sky and each fist contained an overwhelming and incomparably terrifying law energy within, all of them blasting towards the innumerable silhouettes of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord.
At this moment, a dark purple lightning blasted out from all the silhouettes of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord, creating an unfathomably gigantic web of lightning in the air. The destructive tendrils of lightning enveloped the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect, giving everyone a feeling that apocalypse is coming.
Each silhouette of the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord carried a mini world of thunder behind their backs and all of them pointed a finger outwards, causing bolts of lightning to exterminate the millions of fist shadows, destroying them all. Not a single shockwave from their battle landed on the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. From this, one could see how perfect the control of their strength was.
"Thousand Transformations, let’s fight higher up in the sky." The Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor suggested. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord nodded as he soared high up into the air.
If these two supreme powerhouses were to go all out right here, the accidental aftershocks from their battle would surely destroy the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect along with a countless number of casualties within the Eastern Prefecture. The sin accumulated from killing innocents would be too heavy when at their level, they wouldn’t do such a thing against humanity given their temperaments.
"How tranquil." Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to exclaim in his heart when he saw this. The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord wanted six prefectures, yet the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor didn’t react in any explosive or violent matter. They spoke calmly to each other and it was just like sparring match instead of fighting to the death.
The spectators inclined their heads and stared at the air. Qin Wentian could only see two extremely blurry silhouettes flying towards each other. However, all of a sudden, a terrifying scene appeared before his eyes.
The original clear sky was now completely enveloped by tribulation clouds. Savage bolts of lightning darted about, accompanied by mighty booms of thunder. This domain of lightning stretched endlessly outwards, covering the entire Eastern Sage Immortal Sect as well as the boundlessly vast Emperor City of the Eastern Prefecture.
As the combat progressed, powerful surges of pressure descended downwards in waves. At this moment, the citizens at the Emperor City were shuddering as they stared in the air. What exactly was happening?
Such a terrifying battle, what level was it at?
Isn’t today the date of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect’s immortal banquet? What variable could there be?
"There seems to be two people fighting high up in the air." There were some powerful experts with extremely good vision. They could make out two blurry silhouettes fighting against each other in the air. This caused the hearts of many to tremble. Was there someone fighting against the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor?
Although there weren’t many in the Emperor City who had met the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor personally, they still had seen his statue.
Not too longer after, everyone in the city could see the frightening phenomenon in the airspace above. Even though they had no idea what was happening, they could be sure that it was an extremely major matter.
At the immortal banquet, the immortal kings stared up at the battle in the air. They were able to see clearly the scene there and their expressions were incomparably solemn. They didn’t dare to be distracted and were fully focused on this battle. Those spectators who couldn’t see the battle were all extremely tensed up because the influence the end result of this battle will create was simply too terrifying to imagine.
On the contrary, Qin Wentian was extremely relaxed. Since the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord was already here to challenge the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, regardless he won or lost, there would be no more danger to them. Unless the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had the power to annihilate the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. If not, how difficult would it be if an immortal emperor wanted to bring them away?
If Eastern Sage killed them, the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord would make rivers of blood flow in the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. This logic was naturally understood by the immortal kings who were present here today.
From their perspectives, since the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord sent three of his disciples here, there was no way he would allow them to die in this place.
"The Cloud Prefecture can be considered at the western side of the thirteen prefectures." At this moment, the Idlecloud Immortal King was extremely frantic. If the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord won, the thirteen prefectures would be divided and he would be summoned back to the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. From then onwards, the Cloud Prefecture would no longer be governed by him.
"The Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord must have planned this since a long time ago." The spectators mused. From the skies, there would occasionally be terrifying streaks of purple lightning bolts striking downwards.
"Eastern Sage, it seems that your improvements are limited ever since we last parted. The thirteen prefectures now shall be divided into the east and west. For the six prefectures located at the west... I, Thousand Transformations, will take your place in governing them. I’m sure my request isn’t too unreasonable." At this moment, a thunderous voice rang out in all directions from the air, trembling the hearts of everyone below.
There was a supreme expert who wanted the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor to hand over six prefectures for him to govern.
This person was none other than the Thousand Transformations Emperor Lord. It’s clear that he intended for his voice to resonate throughout the entire Emperor City.
