Chapter 1356: Return as an Immortal Emperor
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Beiming Nongyue came together with Li Yufeng, and there were even some immortal kings with them as guards. When they saw Qin Wentian standing together with Zhiyin, Li Yufeng couldn’t help but smile, "The two of you seem pretty compatible with each other."
"Seems like your joyous occasion must be happening soon, to think that you would tease me and Zhiyin, haha." Qin Wentian laughed. Beiming Nongyue surveyed Qin Wentian. Initially, there seemed to be no difference to him, but as she observed further, she discovered that Qin Wentian’s demeanor seemed to have changed somewhat. But she couldn’t describe what changed exactly.
This fellow, he actually came out alive from the forbidden ground. What a miracle.
"Did you break through?" Li Yufeng couldn’t be bothered to guess and asked directly.
"You guess?" Qin Wentian smiled.
Li Yufeng’s eyes flashed as a shocked look appeared on his face. Beiming Nongyue also drew in a deep breath. Did he really break through?
"How old are you this year?" Beiming Nongyue curiously asked. Usually, the age of stellar martial cultivators in the immortal realms couldn’t be speculated just by looking at their faces. At the peak-level of immortal-foundation, even those who cultivated thousands of years, they would still look extremely young let alone immortal kings. For immortal kings who cultivated ten thousand years, they too, would also look extremely young.
Both Qin Wentian and Zhiyin just broke through to the immortal king realm and looked like they were only twenty plus years of age. But the scope of their actual age was very wide.
"I forgot." Qin Wentian shrugged as he smiled. Cultivation was basically a thing that would waste plenty of time. Only a few people would care about age, what they cared about was how strong they were in terms of cultivation bases.
As to why Beiming Nongyue inquired about his age was because she felt that he might be extremely young. If Qin wentian really was extremely young, he might have broken the record of being the youngest immortal king. If that was the case, his future achievements would definitely be extremely terrifying.
Beiming Nongyue glared at Qin Wentian, "Let’s go to my royal palace. Ever since you came to my dynasty, I have not really organized a welcoming banquet just for you."
"Sure." Qin Wentian nodded. The group of them then sped away as Qin Wentian asked, "How’s the situation in the eastern regions?"
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"There shouldn’t be too great a commotion there or my side would have received the news. Don’t worry, I will send out some people to gather the information, there might be some currents in the dark but a supreme immortal war has yet to erupt." Beiming Nongyue spoke in a light voice. Qin Wentian nodded lightly. As expected, a war among the peak powers of the immortal realms wasn’t something that would fully erupt even after eight to ten years. Both sides were playing for the long game.
Qin Wentian set his heart at ease. Since no immortal war has erupted, Qing`er and the others naturally would be fine as well, they should still be quietly cultivating or he would have to leave the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty immediately to look for them.
The royal palace of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty was vast and majestic. Before this, Qin Wentian and people of the Wan Clan glanced at it from the outside but now, he was entering this place with Beiming Nongyue. As they entered deeper and deeper, Qin Wentian could sense powerful auras all over the place.
There naturally were plenty of experts within the royal palace, with immortal kings present everywhere. This place here was the congregation point of the strongest experts in the boundlessly vast Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, there were representatives of all the peak powers of the dynasty in here.
"We pay our respects to Princess." On their way in, many people knelt down when they saw Beiming Nongyue, indicating their respect.
Beiming Nongyue nodded lightly as she led Qin Wentian and the others along.
"Clang..." At this moment, the sound of a bell chime rang out, causing Beiming Nongyue to halt as a strange light flashed in her eyes.
"Clang..."
The sound rang out once more and continued for some time. The entire royal palace was in shock as countless gazes turned to a certain direction.
The bell chime echoed from the emperor palace. The immortal emperor was summoning everyone. Something great must have happened.
Beiming Nongyue’s beautiful eyes flickered as she spoke, "The Darknorth Bell. Now, the nobles all have to gather at the emperor palace. What happened exactly?"
"Princess, the entire palace is in joy. His Majesty gathered everyone to welcome the return of Princess Youhuang." One of her subordinates bowed and reported.
Qin Wentian’s eyes flashed with sharpness. He naturally knew what the return of Beiming Youhuang indicated.
The immortal kings of the sacred academy have all returned.
Since Beiming Youhuang returned. It means that his senior brother Bai Wuya must have returned as well. The immortal kings with the highest talent of the various major powers around the immortal realms also had returned. Seems like the period of relative peace in the immortal realms was soon coming to an end.
As for them, they came out from the sacred academy with cultivation bases at immortal-foundation, they naturally wouldn’t be able to cause any storms in the immortal realms. But people of the immortal king realm are different, especially so for those who had the highest talent. This time around, after their expedition to the sacred academy, all of their strengths must have been greatly improved.
Beiming Nongyue firstly was shocked, but her eyes soon revealed the hint of a smile. "Maybe my elder sister has broken through to the immortal emperor realm."
Qin Wentian and Li Yufeng both shuddered. Beiming Nongyue drew in a deep breath and continued, "The youngest emperor in the history of my dynasty is born. The record holder is no longer Pei Qing, but my elder sister instead. As a female, this is truly impressive.
"It’s very rare for royal father to use the Darknorth Bell to issue a summons. If it’s a case of purely just my sister returning, there definitely wouldn’t be such a great commotion. She must have stepped into the immortal emperor realm!" Beiming Nongyue smiled. "My elder sis is truly awesome, she is the number one beauty of our dynasty and now, she has become the youngest immortal emperor in history. Seems like I can only admire my elder sis from afar."
"You can’t put it this way, at the very least, you still have one point in which you surpass your elder sis." Li Yufeng spoke.
"Oh, what is it?" Beiming Nongyue curiously asked.
"You managed to find an outstanding man such as me." Li Yufeng spoke in mock arrogance. Beiming Nongyue secretly cast a glance at Qin Wentian and Zhiyin and became speechless. Qin Wentian suppressed his laughter, he didn’t expect the Saint Child of the Hundred Refinements Sect to be so shameless.
"However, for those worthy enough to match up to my sister, they can probably be counted on my ten fingers. No wonder she doesn’t look up to anyone. Now, even Pei Qing isn’t worthy of her." Beiming Nongyue spoke with some pride.
"Let’s go, since it’s a celebration, I naturally can bring all of you along. Qin Wentian you wouldn’t mind for the banquet for you to be postponed right?" Beimong Nongyue asked.
"How would I mind, his Majesty is gathering all the nobles to throw a celebratory banquet. Such a grand event and you are welcoming such an important person like me as a guest, I only have gratitude for this." Qin Wentian grinned. For a moment, Beiming Nongyue didn’t know how to reply... Li Yufeng laughed uproariously, "To think that Brother Qin is even more shameless than me."
"It’s fine if you all are happy." Beiming Nongyue was utterly nonplussed by these two fellows. She turned and changed a direction, heading towards the emperor palace instead.
"Li Yufeng, have you met the Darknorth Immortal Emperor before?" Qin Wentian curiously asked.
"No." Li Yufeng shook his head.
"In that case, are you nervous?" Qin Wentian smiled. This was the same situation as when he first met the Evergreen Immortal Emperor back then.
"I’m handsome and elegant, exuding grace and a sense of chivalry. Why would I be nervous." Li Yufeng replied imposingly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Mhm, let’s hope that you are still this confident after you meet with his Majesty." Qin Wentian this time nodded in a cooperative manner. "Oh also, she still has such a powerful sister. Good luck."
Li Yufeng glared at Qin Wentian and smacked his forehead. Oh yeah, Beiming Nongyue had such a powerful sister, how would things turn out for him? Let’s hope the Darknorth Immortal Emperor wouldn’t compare him to Beiming Youhuang. That would truly be extremely miserable. action
At this moment, the major characters of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty were all rushing to the emperor palace. However, only nobles of high status had the qualifications to enter there. Many of them were extremely powerful, and they didn’t need to bow when they saw Beiming Nongyue, merely acknowledging her presence with a nod of their heads as well as a simple greeting. There were even elders of Beiming Nongyue who were related to her by blood. For this case, she was the one that needed to treat them with respect.
Hence, Qin Wentian and Li Yufeng who were beside Beiming Nongyue, attracted many judging looks. Clearly, these people were very curious on what sort of character is the man Beiming Nongyue loved. Right now, she was actually bringing Li Yufeng and some friends to the emperor palace for the celebratory banquet? There naturally was a deeper layer of meaning behind this.
Inside the emperor palace, at an extremely vast area, the immortal banquet was already prepared as the experts gathered together.
At the frontmost location, several princes appeared. When they saw Beiming Nongyue bringing her friends here, all of them had astonishment in their eyes.
"Nongyue, who are these people?" Someone laughed.
"They are good friends of mine." Beiming Nongyue didn’t mind it and replied. However in reality, many people knew about the existence of Li Yufeng. After all, it has been ten plus years since he came to the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty.
"Nongyue, your elder sister has already broken through to the immortal emperor realm. You should work hard too and not neglect your cultivation." A young character spoke. His aura was outstanding and radiated a sense of heroism. He was one of the princes of the Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, an immortal king expert.
"Royal brother, the same to you as well. Elder sis’ age is younger than yours but she has already broken through to the immortal emperor realm. Royal brother must work hard alright?" Beiming Nongyue laughingly replied, her words causing the young man to stiffen. He felt that he lost some face and truly, although Beiming Youhuang’s talent is the glory of their Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, the other royals all felt that they were bring suppressed and their light was masked.
"Your elder sister wouldn’t allow some emotions to delay her cultivation. To think that you are already restricted by emotions given your current cultivation base. Once your sis is back, she will definitely teach you a lesson." That prince continued.
"You should care more about yourself." Beiming Nongyue calmly replied. The eyes of that young man turned sharp as he glanced at Qin Wentian and Li Yufeng.
Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines, he felt somewhat depressed. He felt that him coming here today might have implicated Li Yufeng.
Li Yufeng had to meet his future father in law, as well as the many princes of the dynasty, and another princess who had broken through to the immortal emperor realm. From this, one could see how great the pressure on him was. He would surely attract the attention of many. And as for him right now who was already an immortal king, by being beside Li Yufeng, this simply was... Qin Wentian could only silently scold himself for not thinking the situation through. If he knew this would happen, he wouldn’t have accompanied Beiming Nongyue over.
"Princess Youhuang is unrivalled in our dynasty, a bright light that illuminates us all. Such a young immortal emperor, this is simply unprecedented in the past, and it’s rare for anyone to overtake her in the future. In the future if she could break through further..." A person laughed, but he stopped himself as though he was fearful of mentioning a taboo matter. And as expected, the countenances of some princes grew unsightly.
"Princess Youhuang is truly spectacular, I admit my inferiority to her."
"The number one beauty of our Darknorth Immortal Dynasty, as well as the number one genius."
"Daring to enter the forbidden ground at the immortal-foundation level and even manage to exit there safely. At that point of time, I already felt that Princess Youhuang would have a boundless future."
Everyone was praising Beiming Youhuang. The faces of some of the princes turned dark. If things continued to develop like this, in the future, there might be an empress ruling their Darknorth Immortal Dynasty!
