Chapter 1903: A Stone Causing a Thousand-layered Wave

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Other than Qin Zheng, there was still one more person observing the area around the Heaven Vault. This person was none other than Yue Changkong. Through these two hundred plus years, he had been trapped inside the Gods Extinction Path but he had improved greatly. Now, on the path of heavenly deities, it can be said that he was climbing higher and higher. But after he exited, he heard about the news regarding Qin Wentian. This meant that Qin Wentian could easily leave the Gods Extinction Path while everyone was trapped.
After he exited the Heaven Vault, Yue Changkong didn’t leave immediately. He was waiting for Qin Wentian to appear but Qin Wentian didn’t show up despite him waiting for a long time. Since this is the case, there were only two possibilities. Firstly, Qin Wentian had left the Heaven Vault long ago. Secondly, he hasn’t exited from there.
With regards to Qin Wentian, Yue Changkong has always viewed him as a mortal enemy. It was like Qin Wentian was the jinx destined to cause setbacks to him in his life. He also truly believed that Qin Wentian had some outstanding characteristics, and even if Qin Wentian really was the one who solved the Heaven Vault’s secret and exited way before any of them from the Gods Extinction Path, Yue Changkong didn’t feel that it would be strange. This was because Qin Wentian was the one who made him take this path of eternal condemnation.
He hated Qin Wentian but he also admired this opponent of his. Just like how Qin Wentian viewed Qin Dangtian as his destined enemy, Yue Changkong also viewed Qin Wentian as his destined enemy. Killing Qin Wentian was his strongest obsession.

Right now, in the boundless sea region where waves continuously surged, there was an expert currently sitting in a boat, appearing as though he was cultivating. His cultivation level wasn’t high.
This lonely boat simply floated quietly through the sea.
All of a sudden, a head bobbed out from the churning waves, this wasn’t a human head but was the head of a demon living in the sea. Its demonic eyes glanced at the boat, before glancing at the area in the sky where the Heaven Vault had vanished, a moment later, it dove back into the sea and vanished from sight.
In the boundless sea region, the sound of waves crashing could be heard along with the roaring wind. But in the air space above the sea region, everything seemed so quiet. It was very hard to imagine that not long ago, this place was the source of a commotion that shook the entire Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms, causing experts from all eight great regions to gather here.
During these days, everything seemed normal. Qin Wentian was also worried people might discover the secret of somebody controlling the Heaven Vault. Hence, he didn’t come out and chose to cultivate in the starry space of the nine heavenly layers. He wanted to wait until the news of the Heaven Vault’s closure completely subsided before he came out. Things would be much safer then.
But Qin Wentian had a feeling that this secret was very tough to conceal. The Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms would never lack of curious people and the Heaven Vault was a place that could even attract heavenly deities. It was undoubtedly the best place to cultivate as of now in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. If such a place was controlled by him, and if the news of this was leaked, how could the peak powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms not try to seize it from him?
Naturally, even if it was discovered, the Heaven Vault can still be considered a safe location. Other than him, no one could enter here.
Many days later, in the airspace above the boundless sea region, a tiny slit in the sky appeared. After that, two figures walked out from the slit. These two were none other than Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan. The moment they came out, the slit that was the entrance to the Heaven Vault, immediately closed. This opening lasted for an extremely short instant, if someone didn’t stare with their complete attention at that particular spot, they wouldn’t notice anything.
In any case, it was impossible for Qin Wentian’s group to remain inside the Heaven Vault forever. Although they knew there was a danger in being exposed, they still chose to come out. But, for the sake of safety, only the two most powerful heavenly deities among them which are Qin Wentian and Luoshen Chuan exited first. The moment they appeared, their silhouettes flashed as they left immediately. They only appeared here for a very short moment.
There was no one currently here in the sea domain. However, below the sea, there was a school of fish swimming around. The eyes of one fish demon flashed with a cold light, after that, the fish demon actually spat out a messaging crystal and sent its demon sense into it, sending out a message.
Abruptly, a terrifying heavenly might bore down on it. That fish demon was greatly shocked, the waters around it churned wildly and flowed in reverse, shooting up into the sky. A white-robed figure stood in the air with a cold expression, this was a true heavenly deity. With a wave of his hand, lives in this particular area were completely exterminated. The fishes below were all killed, their blood dying the water red. But as the currents from the sea flowed back in, the blood was gradually washed away.
“There was no one above the sea, I didn’t expect there to be a messenger hiding in the sea.” Luoshen Chuan walked over. The one who acted earlier was none other than Qin Wentian.
“Seems like this secret can no longer be concealed.” Qin Wentian softly spoke. Although he was already prepared in his heart and didn’t feel that this secret could be kept forever, he still didn’t expect this moment would come so fast. After the commotion of the Heaven Vault’s closing faded, there were already people paying attention to the area around it? How unexpected. He also didn’t know who wanted to find him so badly. Was it the Qin Clan? But most probably, he would soon have the answer.
“Grandfather, let’s leave.” Qin Wentian spoke. The two of them flew to Boundless City. Qin Wentian than spoke to Luoshen Chuan, “Grandfather, you have to be careful about this trip of yours to the Desolate Region this time around. If the Qin Clan is there, other than me, they would surely target you.”
“I know, you be careful as well.” Luoshen Chuan nodded.
“Don’t worry grandfather. Right now, I believe I have the strength to protect myself.” Qin Wentian confidently replied. Luoshen Chuan nodded. After two hundred plus years of cultivation, the Qin Wentian now couldn’t be compared to the past. His grandson now can be considered as a truly powerful heavenly deity.
The two of them split up at Boundless City as the destinations they were heading to were different. Luoshen Chuan directly sped away, while Qin Wentian entered Boundless City. He paid a visit to Deity Qu. Firstly, this was because of courtesy. After all, Qu Mo and Nichang had helped him out before. Secondly, he wanted to know if Qin Zheng had spoken to Qu Shen about the marriage after they came out. Although he had conveyed Nichang’s father, Qu Mo’s attitude to them, it wasn’t going to be so easy to reject the Qin Clan.
After all, the Qin Clan was a peak power of the Heaven Region.
After arriving at the Qu Residence, the atmosphere was somewhat quiet. A smile appeared on Qu Shen’s face when he saw Qin Wentian arriving.
“Grandpa Qu,” Qin Wentian called out.
“Wentian, thanks for visiting.” Qu Shen nodded lightly. If Qin Zheng or Qin Dangtian could show him true respect like Qin Wentian, maybe he wouldn’t want to reject the marriage engagement.
“Nichang, Wentian is here. Why don’t you come out?” Qu Shen called. A moment later, Goddess Nichang came here. She was still as beautiful as ever but her expression was somewhat cold when she stared at Qin Wentian, filled with a hint of bitter resentment. Qin Wentian could only smile bitterly.
“There’s no need to trouble Nichang. I just came to see if everything is well. I will be leaving soon.” Qin Wentian shifted his gaze away as he smiled.
“Since you already came, just take a seat and rest a little. I will get someone to prepare a banquet.” Qu Shen spoke. He then continued, “You can accompany me for a chat. The waves at the back of the river would always catch up with the waves in the front. I didn’t expect you to become a heavenly deity at such a young age. The junior generations are truly to be feared.”
Qin Wentian was helpless and could only agree to stay. The banquet was soon prepared. Goddess Nichang sat beside Qu Shen but she didn’t say anything at all. From the start to the end, Qin Wentian and Qu Shen were the ones chatting. As they chatted, their topic soon moved to the Heaven Vault and to the Qin Clan. Upon hearing of the Qin Clan, Qu Shen’s expression turned cold. Qin Wentian could sense his attitude and felt somewhat puzzled. Qu Shen then explained, “After the Heaven Vault closed, Qin Ding and Qin Zheng came by to look for me.”
“Mhm?” Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed. Could it be the cold look on Qu Shen’s face has something to do with this?
Qin Ding actually came by personally.
“Back then, some rumors were spread about you and Nichang. In truth, I hoped that the Qin Clan would cancel this marriage engagement out of their own will. In that case, even if I lose face, I can at least face up to her father, Qu Mo. However, Qin Ding took the initiative to ask if you have done anything to Nichang. After Nichang said no, Qin Ding directly set the date for the marriage. I wanted to delay this but Qin Ding’s attitude was extremely overbearing. Although I’m acquainted with him since a long time ago, right now our statuses are not equal. He wouldn’t give me face just because we are old acquaintances.”
Qu Shen calmly spoke. Qin Wentian sighed in his heart. This, might be the cruel reality of the cultivation world.
He glanced at Goddess Nichang. But when she heard that they were speaking about her marriage, she kept her head lowered.
“In her heart, what does Nichang feel? Is she willing though?” Qin Wentian asked. He also didn’t know if he should direct this question to Nichang or Qu Shen. If Goddess Nichang was willing, there was nothing he could say. Although he naturally didn’t hope that she, as his benefactor who helped him before would marry his fated enemy.
“Nichang, Wentian isn’t an outsider. You can tell him your thoughts.” Qu Shen spoke to his granddaughter.
Not an outsider?
Qin Wentian felt warmth in his heart. Qu Shen truly treated him as how Qu Shen would treat a junior of his own clan.
Goddess Nichang inclined her head. Her beautiful eyes glanced at Qu Shen before glancing at Qin Wentian. She was as cold and calm as ever, no one could tell what she was thinking about in her heart.
“I don’t really have any thoughts about this.” Goddess Nichang stood up. She didn’t say anything else and simply turned to leave, causing Qin Wentian to start.
When he saw this scene, Qu Shen’s eyes gleamed. He then softly spoke, “I actually know what she is thinking in her heart.”
“Grandpa Qu, what do you mean?” Qin Wentian asked.
“She is unwilling too.” Qu Shen calmly spoke, his words causing Qin Wentian’s gaze to grow sharp.
“It’s just that she is worried. Given the Qin Clan’s current might, if she disagrees…” Qu Shen sighed, hating that he wasn’t strong enough. It was one thing even if his strength was far from Qin Ding. He still had hidden injuries on his body. Now that they had already agreed to the marriage engagement, it wasn’t going to be so easy to break their word.
Nichang also understood this. Hence, even if she wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t say anything. Because, she had to consider this useless old fellow which was him.
…
Qin Wentian’s emotions felt somewhat heavy after he left the Qu Residence. Qu Mo’s words have been passed on by him but has this marriage already become something unobstructable?
After he left, he naturally prepared to head back to Azure Mystic.
And just when he arrived in Azure Mystic, shocking news erupted in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. The Heaven Vault actually wasn’t truly closed. The secret of the Heaven Vault had been obtained by somebody and the Heaven Vault now was in someone’s control.
A tiny stone caused a thousand-layered wave to rise. An earthquake-level commotion once again shook the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms.
How could the experts of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realm forget a cultivation holy ground like the Heaven Vault?
Now that there was news saying that the Heaven Vault has fallen into someone’s control, another formless storm was currently brewing!
