Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
After the three remnant powers left, the majority of the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall still remained behind, not showing any inclinations of leaving. The leader of the Sacred Sun Sect continued, “You guys best quickly inform your sect leader. There are only seven days worth of time.”
After that, they turned around and departed but they didn’t leave the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, returning to the residence the Blackmetal Emperor Sect had prepared for them earlier when they came by under the pretext of ordering the divine weapons, continuing to monitor the movements of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect.
“Let’s return to the great hall to discuss this.” The old elder from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke. It was inconvenient to discuss anything else out in the open. After that, their people all respectively left the area as well.
The Blackmetal Great Hall was the place of discussion for members of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. Ordinary characters wouldn’t be able to enter this place.
At this moment, Qin Wentian also followed the upper echelons of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect to the great hall for a discussion. The expressions of everyone were heavy and solemn. Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu stood beside Qin Wentian only to hear Feng Qianxue transmitting her voice to him, “Brother Qin, this matter has nothing to do with you. You should leave while you can. Earlier, I apologize for making use of you.”
“Don’t worry about it, I understand that it was a plan of convenience. In addition, they had long wanted to deal with me. By saying that we are together, it’s to make it so that they have no reason to act against me.” Qin Wentian didn’t mind it as he casually replied. Feng Qianxue’s beautiful eyes stared at Qin Wentian but she didn’t say anything else.
“Qianxue, is this man really your dao companion? Why do I have no idea.” The old elder was actually the grand elder of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. He glanced at Feng Qianxue and asked.
“Grand Elder, Brother Qin is merely passing by, seeking my help to forge some weapons. Earlier, I was forced to say those words, please don’t take offense.” Feng Qianxue replied.
“Ah, I see.” The Grand Elder nodded. He then turned to Qin Wentian, “In any case, this is a matter of our Blackmetal Emperor Sect and has nothing to do with you. However, you are already implicated within it now. If you want to leave, you have to be extra careful, the people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall wouldn’t allow you to go so easily. I have to apologize on behalf of our sect to you.”
“Don’t worry, this is my own choice. There’s no need for senior to be so polite.” Qin Wentian shook his head.
“It’s best that you be more careful in the future. The killing intent the people from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall have for you is truly extremely strong.” That old elder reminded. After that, he turned his gaze to everyone else, “This time, we didn’t expect that the other three remnant powers would actually have already submitted. Seems like it’s impossible for us to escape this calamity. Even if we report this to the sect leader, we would be helpless to reverse the situation as well.”
“Us, who are the remnants of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple have survived up till now as independent existences, how can we submit to the other powers? If we do so, most probably the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple would be disintegrated by them and assimilated. In the future, the legacy of the temple would be forgotten and no longer have anything to do with us. We will become nothing but a tool for them to use.” An immortal king spoke while the others nodded, understanding the situation.
“I’m unwilling to submit.” Another immortal king sighed. The old elder surveyed the crowd, the vast majority of the immortal kings were unwilling to submit. As immortal kings, everyone has their own pride.
“Just express your stances, I will convey all of your attitudes to the sect leader and allow him and the supreme elder to make a decision.” The grand elder also sighed.
After everyone has spoken, the great elder waved his hand, “Alright, you guys can return. I will inform you all once I have news.”
“Noted.”
Everyone else left with a sinking feeling in their hearts. The Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Sect were trampling on their hearts, causing them to unable to breathe.
Qin Wentian, Feng Qianxue and Feng Zhu all left together. On their way back, Qin Wentian asked, “Is there some secret about the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple?”
“Since you are already implicated, there’s no harm in telling you this. The Eastern Tomb Holy Temple was a supreme power of the ancient era but due to the passage of time, it slowly weakened and deteriorated, gradually forgotten by history. However, there always has been inheritances of the Holy Temple in the Eastern Tomb Immortal City granted to the four remnant powers. And in the past, although there had been conflicts between the four powers, we would always unite and fend off external foes, protecting the legacy of the Holy Temple, blocking others from obtaining it. If the four remnant powers really joined forces, even the peak powers of the central regions would find it difficult to stand against us. They definitely would have to pay an astronomical price if they try to do things by force. Hence, this is the reason why the four remnant powers could survive independently up till now.”
Feng Qianxue slowly explained. “Sadly, the day we feared, seemed to have finally come.”
“After so many years, haven’t any of the remnant powers of the holy temple produced a peak-stage expert? Qin Wentian asked.
“How can it be so easy to produce a peak-stage immortal emperor. I’ve heard before that there were quite a few extremely talented geniuses in the past, but all of them seemed to have been assassinated. Those peak powers are unwilling to see the Eastern Tomb’s remnant powers to grow so strong, reaching a point where they had no way to control us.” Feng Qianxue bitterly smiled. “Actually, everyone knows that it is already very difficult to maintain this fragile line of balance for so many years, the line of balance would be broken sooner or later. They want to control our Blackmetal Emperor Sect as well as obtain the secrets of the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple. Also, the chaos brought by the greater demons of the Desolate Mountain Range became an excuse that reinforced their determination to act.”
“What is there exactly in the Eastern Tomb Ruins?” Qin Wentian curiously asked.
“A Holy Book, Holy Will and a Holy Weapon. I’m not very sure what else is there.” Feng Qianxue’s voice turned solemn. Her beautiful eyes turned into the distance, staring in the direction of the Eastern Tomb Ruins, as a look of yearning and reverence could be seen within.
“It’s rumored that during ancient times, there were many sages in the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple, transcending the mortal world, and receiving confirmation of their Dao. The inheritances they left behind were sufficient for the hundreds of generations that came after them.” Feng Qianxue mumbled.
“What cultivation realm are the Sages at?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Their cultivation realm should be equivalent to the ancient emperors, and in any case, their strength has already exceeded peak-stage immortal emperors. We can’t fathom how strong they really are though.” Feng Qianxue replied.
“There are external rumors saying that the mountain, where the Eastern Tomb Holy Temple is located on, is now just an ordinary mountain range, the stories of the past were simply a legend. However, hasn’t the inheritances continued through the generations, why does no one know about it?” Qin Wentian asked.
“The holy ruins where the temple is, only opens when the occasion demands for it. How would ordinary characters have the chance to see it? Unless, of course, there’s someone who barged in forcefully. However, our Blackmetal Emperor Sect tells us that the holy temple is already extremely unstable. If someone forcefully tries to enter, the entire temple might just collapse and disappear forever.” Feng Qianxue continued. This incident caused her to have a strong unease in her heart.
Qin Wentian didn’t continue asking, and as they returned to the residence, he reminded her once more, “Recuperate well.”
“Mhm.” Feng Qianxue nodded. Although her injuries were serious, her recovery rate was very fast given her cultivation realm.
In the blink of an eye, the seven days passed and the deadline was reached.
Today, the other three remnant emperor-ranked powers came by imposingly, exuding their aura to pressure, in a very tyrannical manner.
The experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall also came. This time around, they directly surrounded the great hall of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect, not planning to give any chance to them.
The great elder of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect stood on the stone stairs leading up to the great hall. He stared at the incoming experts and spoke, “The sect leader has given me a reply, he wants all of us to head to the Eastern Tomb. He will appear there and give you all an answer.”
“Head to the Eastern Tomb?” The experts from the other three powers froze. During these seven days, they used their immortal sense to observe the movements made by the Blackmetal Emperor Sect. Not only just for the sect, their immortal sense covered the entire Eastern Tomb Immortal City, but none of them had seen the sect leader of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect appearing at all. They’ve only seen the great elder and the supreme elder moving about.
The experts from the Sacred Sun Sect and the Thunder God Hall furrowed their brows. They spoke in a rude manner, “What does your Blackmetal Emperor Sect mean by this?”
“This is what my sect leader wants, I can’t help it either.” The great elder replied.
“Since this is the case, let’s head to the Eastern Tomb then.” The leader from the Sacred Sun Sect coldly snorted.
“Move out.” The experts from the Thunder God Hall flew forward, leading the way as everyone started to move towards the direction of the Eastern Tomb.
The Eastern Tomb naturally was located in the eastern area of the city. The mountain it was located on, appeared extremely desolate. It’s really difficult to imagine that such an ordinary mountain range was once known as the holy mountain.
All the experts gradually arrived. Qin Wentian came as well. He stared at the Eastern Tomb, the simple and unadorned sacred grounds of the immortal city were actually…extremely normal looking?
Several killing intents locked on to him. Qin Wentian knew these people wanted his life, his expression similarly turned as cold as them as he stared back.
“Where is the Blackmetal Emperor?” The leader from the Sacred Sun Sect impatiently spoke. The sect leader of the Blackmetal Emperor of this generation had the title of the Blackmetal Emperor.
“The sect leader is already here.” The great elder of the Blackmetal Emperor Sect spoke.
“Are you playing me?” The aura of the leader from the Sacred Sun Sect violently erupted outwards.
The great elder shook his head. Abruptly, the ruins suddenly flared with a brilliant light, illuminating the area as a terrifying sword qi permeated the atmosphere.
“RUMBLE!” Waves of extremely powerful sword might gushed forth, causing cracks to appear around the ground. The holy light expanded, covering everything and was so blinding that no one could open their eyes. This holy light was simply too dazzling, and right at the source of the light, a tomb could be seen. It was none other than the Eastern Tomb of the legends.
Qin Wentian shielded his eyes with his palm as he stared in the direction of the holy light. That should be the true Eastern Tomb Holy Temple? The Eastern Tomb has already appeared, exuding a boundless might that shot up the sky?
“Blackmetal Emperor.” The eyes of everyone turned to a figure that suddenly appeared there. This figure was a middle-aged man who stood there proudly, like the king of this world.
“You actually broke the rule of balance of the Eastern Tomb…?” An expert from the Sky Bell Cult angrily spoke.
“Blackmetal Emperor, how is it possible for you to come out from there? Have you been hiding there since the last time the tomb was opened? Have you gone mad?”
“Are you planning to seize everything for yourself?” An expert from the Vajra Sect howled with anger.
“Shut up.” That figure waved his hand as a burst of supreme sword intent slashed out. In just an instant, an immortal king was directly slashed into twain. The sight of this caused everyone else to shiver, no one else dared to say anything more.
“We pay our respects to Sect Leader.” The experts from the Blackmetal Emperor Sect bowed. To think that their sect leader has always been inside the Eastern Tomb.
“During the previous time when the Eastern Tomb was opened, I already had a premonition that the inheritance would soon come to an end. I sealed myself inside the tomb and perused the Holy Book, attempting to see through heavenly fate. I wouldn’t come out unless something drastic happened, and I naturally wouldn’t spoil the rule of balance between the four remnant powers casually.”
The Blackmetal Emperor slowly spoke. “It’s just that I didn’t expect that the three other remnant powers have decided to betray the holy will of the holy temple. Since this is the case, I broke out from the tomb in this forceful manner, breaking the root of all future inheritance. Let this tomb opening be the last opening for all eternity.”
As he spoke, the light radiating from him grew even more intense as his sword intent enveloped the entire Eastern Tomb Immortal City.
“The Eastern Tomb has opened, the Holy Book is available for all to peruse. For those who are keen, all of you are welcome to enter the Eastern Tomb.” His voice thunderously rang out, echoing through the entire immortal city!
“Eastern Tomb? Holy Book? Is the legendary ruins opening?” At this moment, countless people inclined their heads, their hearts trembling when they heard the words.
“Let’s head to the Eastern Tomb.” Countless figures soared into the air, flying towards the Eastern Tomb’s location.
In the Sky Bell Cult, Divine Inscriptions Palace and Vajra Sect, many experts glanced up in the air as their eyes gleamed with sharpness. To think that the Blackmetal Emperor was so ruthless. He disappeared for so many years but he was actually hiding in the Eastern Tomb to comprehend the Holy Book.
Stomping on the ground, experts from the three remnant powers rushed there as well. Seems like the Blackmetal Emperor Sect has no intentions to submit. The carefully laid plans of the Sacred Sun Sect and Thunder God Mountain, are destined to fail.
“Will there be no future inheritances to be gained from the Holy Temple?” They sighed in their hearts. By forcefully breaking out from the tomb, the Blackmetal Emperor has made it so this would be the last time the Eastern Tomb would open.
