Chapter 1534: Upper World

Qin Wentian’s heart trembled as he stared at the crazy old freak who was laughing uproariously.
8th heavenly layer. Also, from the very first astral soul he condensed, it would be from the 8th heavenly layer!
Qin Wentian naturally understood what this meant. This means that as long as his opponent was at the same level of cultivation as him, he could effortlessly insta-kill them. Just based on the advantage of his astral souls alone, the quality of his astral energy would be higher than them. Also, even for law attributes of the same origin, his law energy would naturally be stronger compared to his opponents.
Let alone the fact that he could restart his choice of astral souls.
Given his innate talent, in addition to this heaven-defying opportunity, what would he become in the future? Qin Wentian’s heart was moved as he trembled with excitement. He no longer felt that he was a cripple.
Qin Wentian was after all, an extremely intelligent man. He instantly understood when the old freak reminded.
The cultivation base of stellar martial cultivators couldn’t replicate themselves even if one had a new body. So, although he initially had a cultivation base at the immortal king realm, his body was newly reforged. His new body didn’t have astral energy, arterial circulation, yuanfu…or his previous immortal-foundation.
But so what of it? His soul force wouldn’t be diminished, belonging to the immortal king level. That, plus his cultivation experiences, insights, comprehensions and talent, and high-graded astral souls which he could condense from the 8th heavenly layer, how fast would his cultivation speed be? He would definitely encounter no bottlenecks and he basically only needed a few years to enter the immortal king realm again. Compared to him, what does those other geniuses at the immortal king realm count for?
Is this, not considered a heaven-defying opportunity?
The old man smiled at Qin Wentian, “In the other layers of immortal realms, there are many supreme characters you can’t come in contact with. They exhaust all methods to undergo rebirth and reincarnation, all for the sake of a slight possibility to obtain a chance like this. To think that you managed to get this opportunity so easily.”
Qin Wentian bitterly smiled and shook his head. To him, this was an unexpected incident and he narrowly lost his life. His body was blasted to pieces and even his soul was fragmented. Luckily the tiny astral-being absorbed the main remnant and the Undying Scripture allowing his soul to recover. All these coincidences allowed him to have this heaven-defying opportunity!
If others were in his place? Would they shatter their souls and bodies on purpose just for a vague chance like this? Most probably, they would have truly died if they did so.
Although he didn’t know if the tiny astral-being or the Undying Scripture helped him the most, both probably played an important role in this. There was no need to mention how valuable this treasure was. And, the Undying Scripture was clearly an extremely heaven-defying art as well. How can it be so easy for others to obtain it? Seems like the crazy old freak before him must have some grand and truly terrifying origins.
As for people who had the Undying Scripture, would they really allow someone to blast their bodies and souls until so coincidentally the main remnant of their soul remained? Would truly powerful characters dare to do this? If they did so, their opponents must surely be on the same level as them. By doing so, they were essentially placing their lives in the hands of their attackers. What if their attackers truly sought to destroy them completely? Wouldn’t they be courting death?
“What a pity.” Qin Wentian suddenly sighed. His bloodline powers also vanished as well. If he had them, wouldn’t this new body be even more perfect than his original one? But in any case, he still had another true-self out there and that avatar still possessed his bloodline powers.
“Senior, are you very familiar with the other immortal realms. In these thirty-three heavens, what rank does the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms belong to?” Qin Wentian stared at the old freak as he asked. Before this, he had inferred from the words of this old man that he understood the other immortal realms.
“There are no rankings among the thirty-three heavens. All of them are cultivation grounds. It’s just that the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms are a little unique. They are sealed off from the others.” The old freak glanced up at the skies as he spoke quietly.
“Sealed off?” Qin Wentian’s eyes gleamed. “Senior please tell me why.”
“Seems like you understand that you can’t stay in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms any longer. Might as well. Let me introduce the other immortal realms to you.” The old freak glanced at Qin Wentian as he slowly continued, “I’ve already said that the immortal realms are all cultivation grounds. But naturally, although there are no actual rankings, there are a difference between the strong realms and the weaker ones. This is especially so after countless years of transformations. The situation has gradually solidified.”
“Current, one of the strongest realms is undoubtedly the hegemon of all thirty-three immortal realms. The highest layer is named the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms and has become the gathering place for truly powerful experts. This realm is known as the upper world, I’ve no idea what occurred through the countless years for them to become the hegemon but you only need to understand that their position is far higher compared to any of the other thirty-two immortal realms. In fact, several of the thirty-two other realms are ruled by superpowers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.”
Qin Wentian’s heart trembled. Even several of the other thirty-two realms are dominated and ruled by the supreme superpowers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms? In that case how strong are those superpowers exactly? Their strength should be countless times greater than the entirety of the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, right? Or in other words, they could reduce the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms to ashes with a flick of their fingers.
Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to recall the tyrannical ancient clan his father was from. He wondered what tier of strength did that ancient clan belong to.
Given how powerful his father was, as well as how cautious he acted, not even daring to reveal himself in a minuscule particle world… He felt that there was a high possibility that his father’s clan might be terrifying to the extreme, a superpower from the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
“The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms isn’t merely the hegemony of the other thirty-two. They are situated right in the center of all the immortal realms. According to what I know, there are a few superpowers there who don’t just control a single layer of immortal realms but rule over quite a few instead. The immortal realms they ruled over all changed their faith to them. You might not understand this, I can give you another example to help you understand better. There are four other layers of immortal realms to the west of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. These four are ruled over by a single superpower in the Upper World, a super Buddhist Sect. As a result, the other four immortal realms converted their faith and conviction to buddhism.”
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. In the Upper World, the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, there’s actually a buddhist sect superpower that’s so terrifying that it rules over four other immortal realms? How fearsome was this?
“Naturally, because of the vast multitude of lives there, there are still some others who are not buddhist-path cultivators. But even so, there’s no doubt that buddhist-path powers hold the greatest sway in the four immortal realms that lies in the western region.”
“Four immortal realms…no matter how powerful a superpower is, it shouldn’t be easy for them to govern it right? How did they do so?” Qin Wentian asked.
“Naive. No matter what, you are still an immortal king expert that’s only a step away from the immortal emperor realm in the past. Why are you so dumb? When one’s strength reaches a certain extent, is there still even a need to ‘govern’?” The old freak disdainfully replied. “Each layer of immortal realms can be considered an entire world and would operate automatically to its own rules. The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms is the same as well. For example, if the Upper World sent a supreme expert down here who has the cultivation base of those you guys refer to as ancient emperors, wouldn’t all the major powers in this world submit to that person unconditionally? Is there even a need for that person to govern this place?”
Qin Wentian nodded. That’s right. This was after all a strength-oriented world. When one’s strength reached a certain extent, everything would be simplified. They just needed to ensure that they are sufficiently strong. If they grew weaker, their authority to rule would naturally slip from their grasps.
“Why are there no superpowers governing the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?” Qin Wentian curiously asked. From what the old freak has said, there shouldn’t be any reason why the superpowers in the Upper World would ignore this place.
“The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?” The crazy old man laughed. “Because, there’s someone who doesn’t allow the people of the Upper World to enter this place.”
Qin Wentian’s eyes narrowed. There was actually such a terrifying existence?
This old freak said earlier that there are some superpowers who had the might to rule over several immortal realms. From this, one can see how fearsome those experts of the superpowers in the Upper World are. But they are also actually forbidden by someone to enter the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms? Wouldn’t the person who forbid them be someone of the legends?
“Naturally, that existence wouldn’t obstruct those at the emperor realm and below to enter. But those people might not have enough strength to take over this immortal realms without support from the respective superpowers they are from.” The old freak continued explaining.
“Senior, didn’t you say that those super powers are able to rule several other layers of the immortal realms? If that’s the case, why would they heed the brazen warnings of that unknown existence, forbidding them to enter the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms?” Qin Wentian curiously asked.
“The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms have undergone countless years of transformations before the situation now was fixed. Other than some of the superpowers dominating the other immortal realms, there are still some singular existences that can stand on par with the superpowers. Although these singular experts didn’t dominate other immortal realms, their foundations and roots are extremely deep, not something you can imagine. The superpowers naturally didn’t want to carelessly offend an expert on the same level as them. But even so, they still went ahead to set up the City of Ancient Emperors as a means of recruiting new blood, gifting them dao elements from the other immortal realms on the premises that the successors would have to become their disciples.”
The old freak slowly explained. Such information was definitely considered secrets of the highest grade in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms. The Azure Mystic Immortal Realms simply knew too little information with regards to the other immortal realms.
However, this old freak seemed to have a great understanding about these matters. In fact, it seemed like he knew everything there was to know in the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms like the palm of his hand.
Qin Wentian couldn’t help but to stare in astonishment at the old freak as he asked, “Senior, who are you exactly?”
The old freak glanced at him and seemed too lazy to answer this question. He then replied, “You wouldn’t know even if I told you know. You will understand more when you grow stronger in the future. I’m telling you all these now because I want you to make a decision. If I can send you to the other immortal realms, do you want to go or not?”
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with sharpness. This old freak is truly extremely powerful. He actually had the ability to send him out.
“If I leave the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, would I be forbidden from entering again?” Qin Wentian had a look of worry on his face as he asked.
“That existence didn’t forbid those who left here from returning. As long as you can return, you will be able to return.” The old freak replied.
“I’ll go then.” Qin Wentian spoke with no hesitation after learning the answer. Although his cultivation speed would be very fast after he reforged his body, what’s the point of returning to the peak of the immortal king realm? There are still immortal emperors above him. He might need to reach the peak-stage of the immortal emperor realm before he can sweep through the Azure Mystic Immortal Realms with invincibility. During this period of time, it was useless for him to remain behind.
“To the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms or to the other immortal realms?” The old freak asked again.
“To the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.” Qin Wentian didn’t hesitate. If he wanted to leave, he naturally would choose the strongest immortal realms to head to!
