  In the boundlessly vast Azure Mystic Immortal Realms, immortal emperors are the peak existences, able to dominate an entire region. And only immortal kings could be considered experts. For Immortal Foundation characters, it can only be considered that they just set foot on the path leading to the strong.

  With regards to Celestial Phenomenon, that was merely a realm that was the stage for countless youngsters. If you are extremely old but you are still stuck at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm, it clearly indicates that your accomplishments are limited. Your path to the strong was already blocked, and if somehow if you managed to break through to Immortal Foundation before the end of your lifespan, that was already considered not too bad.

  For Celestial Phenomenon, in the perspective of the boundless immortal realms, it’s merely a grain of sand in the vast desert, completely insignificant. Although Qin Wentian caused quite a stir in the Evergreen Immortal Empire, he was still insignificant, a tiny grain of sand amidst countless others in the perspective of the entire immortal realms. Hence, not many people were able to observe him.

  Therefore, for their break through to immortality, there wouldn’t be any ripple effect generated. The immortal realms were still the same as they were, the strong eating the weak, where cultivators of all cultivation levels arose to become stronger or fell to their deaths on a daily basis.

  There was an incident that caused quite a stir. A peak-tier immortal emperor of the immortal realms, the Violet Emperor actually led an army of experts to besiege the Myriad Devil Island, causing a storm of commotion. War of immortals against the devils, and the reason for this was said to be the Violet Emperor wanting to take revenge for his youngest son Zi Daoyang. Zi Daoyang was said to be killed by a devil practitioner that hailed from the Myriad Devil Island when in the City of Ancient Emperors.

  However, how would the Myriad Devil Island be so easily invaded? That was a place where the strongest devil cultivators in the immortal realms gathered. There were countless devil sects and some of their peak devil emperors were so powerful that even the Violet Emperor could only return in low spirits from being forced back. Although the Myriad Devil Island was extremely chaotic and the people in there killed and plundered each other daily, they would never allow immortal emperor characters to step into their sanctuary. This was the order given by the master of the Myriad Devil Island.

  And today, the Violet Emperor sent people to the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire, seeking an audience with the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

  The Evergreen Immortal Emperor actually personally received them.

  Within the great hall in the emperor palace, several kings and marquises were present. A group of silhouettes could be seen outside the great hall, preparing to enter. All of them were exuding an extraordinary air and were all immortal kings.

  This was especially so for the immortal king in the lead. He seemed exceptionally young, around 34 years of age but naturally, his true age was far from that. This young-looking immortal king had a terrifying gaze that contained a hegemonic aura within.

  "Nephew Zi Daolong pays his respects to Uncle Evergreen." That young immortal king bowed politely.

  "Juniors pays our respects to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor." The immortal kings behind him followed his lead and bowed. Although they were the subordinates of the Violet Emperor, they still had to be respectful when they saw the Evergreen Immortal Emperor.

  "Esteemed Nephew has no need to be polite. Why do you have the time to come to my immortal empire?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor smiled.

  "Uncle should already know that my younger brother, Zi Daoyang, was killed by someone in the City of Ancient Emperors. The identity of the murderer is none other than Mo Xie from the Myriad Devil Island. He was killed in an ambush in the middle of the night and that wouldn’t have succeeded if he wasn’t so heavily injured in the first place."

  Zi Daolong went straight to the point as he continued, "The person who injured my younger brother……according to what I know, he should currently be in Uncle’s immortal empire."

  "You mean Qin Wentian? I do know a little about this. Qin Wentian is a good friend of my youngest daughter and there were rumors saying Qin Wentian and Nephew Daoyang had a fight in the City of Ancient Emperors. The ending of which was Nephew Daoyang being injured and subsequently ambushed in the middle of night and killed. This is truly a pity, but if esteemed Nephew wants to shift the blame to Qin Wentian, wouldn’t it be a little inappropriate?" The Evergreen Immortal Emperor spoke while the kings and marquises of the empire felt their hearts trembling slightly. To think that the Evergreen Immortal Emperor would speak up for Qin Wentian.

  "Uncle and my royal father are extremely good buddies that would frequently drink wine together and discuss the Dao. However, nobody expected little sister Qing`er to have a conflict with my younger brother when in the City of Ancient Emperors. This is truly a sad matter but since Princess Qing`er wasn’t acquainted with Daoyang, my father and I naturally won’t blame her. However, it was because of Qin Wentian’s involvement which eventually led to Daoyang’s death. Can Uncle allow me to bring him back?" Zi Daolong continued.

  The Evergreen Immortal Emperor frowned. He then replied, "Esteemed Nephew, no matter what, Qin Wentian is still a guest of my empire. He also isn’t the murderer of Nephew Daoyang. If you have any grudges between you, settle it yourselves after Qin Wentian leaves my immortal empire. If you want me to hand him over directly, it’s truly a little inappropriate."

  "Nephew understands Uncle’s intentions perfectly. Farewell." Zi Daolong bowed. After that he and his men retreated out of the great hall. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor didn’t stop them and he merely spoke to his subjects, "Help me send my nephew away."

  "Understood." There was someone that bowed in response. Not long after, Zi Daolong and his men left the royal palace of the Evergreen Immortal Empire.

  "Father, the Violet Emperor directly sent men to our immortal empire demanding for Qin Wentian, he’s getting more and more tyrannical." A son of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor directly spoke after they left. The Evergreen Immortal Emperor was the emperor of this immortal empire. Regardless whether Qin Wentian was apart of the royal palace, since he’s here as a guest, it was simply too rude for the Violet Emperor just to send people here and make a demand like that. No matter what, Qin Wentian was brought here by Qing`er. If the Evergreen Immortal Emperor really handed over Qin Wentian just like that, what would the others in the immortal realms say?

  "He has always been this tyrannical." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor laughed, his heart was still as calm as ever, completely unaffected at all. The other party sent their men over to demand for Qin Wentian, it’s fine if he just rejects them.

  "The Violet Emperor should have been able to guess that your Majesty would reject him. Why did he still send Zi Daolong on this trip?" Someone furrowed his brows.

  "Zi Daoyang’s death evidently affected the Violet Emperor’s emotions. In addition to his failure to invade the Myriad Devil Island, and Qing`er’s attitude towards Zi Daoyang in the City of Ancient Emperors, it’s understandable why the Violet Emperor is in a bad mood." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor stared toward the air. They wouldn’t usually interfere in battles among juniors but if a son of an immortal emperor truly died, things wouldn’t be so simple then.

  "Your Majesty, would the Violet Emperor come in person to demand for Qin Wentian?" Someone asked in a worried tone. The Violet Emperor was a peak-level immortal emperor in the immortal realms, and it was possible his strength was higher than the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. If he personally appeared, it wouldn’t be too good for his Majesty to reject.

  "Qin Wentian didn’t personally kill Zi Daoyang. He’s a peak immortal emperor and he wouldn’t have the face to do this. For this matter, he should have passed on the responsibility of handling it to his son Zi Daolong. But they are really taking this seriously, to think that Zi Daoyang’s death would even implicate Qin Wentian." The Evergreen Immortal Emperor shook his head. Sending out Zi Daolong and several immortal kings was a sign that the Violet Emperor apparently placed a great deal of importance with regards to this matter. To Qin Wentian, this wasn’t any good news at all.

  Qin Wentian, who was currently still in seclusion, naturally had no idea about this. He also didn’t expect that Zi Daoyang’s death would implicate him. Naturally, the start of all this was Xiao Lengyue. The Violet Emperor has investigated Zi Daoyang’s death, and naturally he did ask a few questions from her. Because of her hatred, Xiao Lengyue said many things that were disadvantageous about Qin Wentian to the Violet Emperor. In fact, she even pushed the blame to Qing`er.

  This was the reason why the Violet Emperor ignored giving face to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, and directly sent Zi Daolong and the immortal kings here……

  Time flew by. The events in the outside world had nothing to do with Qin Wentian and in the blink of an eye, he has already been in seclusion for two years.

  At this moment, the mountain of resources around him had already been depleted by half. Resplendent light radiated from Qin Wentian and his body sparkled like a crystal.

  In his body, there were a total of five Yuanfus, and in every Yuanfu, there was an embryonic form of an Immortal Foundation. In the starry space, the law energy continued cascading downwards, becoming purer and purer but even so, only the Immortal Foundation formed from the towering golden giant of suppression felt pure. The other four Immortal Foundations didn’t feel as clean nor as pure, and in comparison to his first Immortal Foundation, clearly they weren’t perfect enough.

  "Because of my many Yuanfus, my Immortal Foundation is different from others. I don’t merely have a single Immortal Foundation." Qin Wentian’s immortal sense birthed as he used it to survey the interior of his body. For ordinary people, if they wanted a perfect Immortal Foundation, they had to infuse the law energy of their astral souls into one complete Immortal Foundation, purifying it to perfection. This Immortal Foundation would be the root of their immortality, containing terrifying energy. However he was different, he had an Immortal Foundation in each of his Yuanfus, how should he merge them into one?

  "I can’t be bothered with it now. Since four of my Immortal Foundations are not perfect, I shall shatter them to form a perfect one, re-establishing them from scratch." Qin Wentian mused. A fearsome storm of law energy congregated. If he wanted perfection, he had to first shatter the imperfect. Although the Immortal Foundations he established were considered pure enough, it still wasn’t considered a perfect one.

  A wave of destructive power was formed inside his body. Qin Wentian gritted his teeth as he prepared to shatter his Immortal Foundations.

  "RUMBLE~!" His body was continuously being destroyed by the power ravaging inside him. Qin Wentian coldly shouted, "SHATTER!"

  As the sound of his voice faded, the destructive energy smashed upon his Immortal Foundations as the boundless might ravaged through them, shattering it bit by bit.

  "Chi……" Qin Wentian coughed out blood, he even felt his soul was trembling. This kind of pain shook him to his core.

  "Shatter, SHATTER!"

  Despite him coughing out blood continuously, as well as his body being destroyed, Qin Wentian’s heart remained steadfast. Luckily he had a supreme physique and was able to persist. If he hadn’t established a supreme physique, he would truly die from the disintegration of his flesh.

  "ROAR!" A low roaring sound echoed from Qin Wentian. He could finally not endure the pain and fainted into unconsciousness while his Immortal Foundations were being shattered. When the destruction process ended, next, he would need his extremely strong willpower to re-establish them again. Luckily, Qin Wentian had five foundations instead of one. The first Immortal Foundation from the 7th Heavenly Layer, Towering Giant astral soul, was already perfect so he need not shatter that. Hence, despite his other Immortal Foundations being shattered, he wasn’t crippled yet and there was still immortal energy in his body.

  After Qin Wentian awoke, he continued cultivating. In the starry space, the energy from the original constellations grew purer and purer. Motes of law energy from them endlessly flowed into Qin Wentian.

  In the blink of an eye, another half a year passed. In this half a year, Qin Wentian had re-established his Immortal Foundations and now, every one of his Immortal Foundations were sparkling with crystallic light, perfect and without flaws.

  Qin Wentian’s body now was more perfect than ever as well. His entire body irradiated with a gleaming light and his flesh was like a newborn, every inch of skin and flesh seemed to be a gift bestowed by heaven.

  However Qin Wentian knew that his mission had not been completed yet.

  "It’s about time to condense the next astral soul, and use that to establish another perfect Immortal Foundation, before blending all of them together." Qin Wentian mused. His perception shot up to the sky, into the Nine Heavenly Layers. He was now already a half-step Immortal Foundation expert, and he just needed a few more steps to truly enter the realm of Immortal Foundation!
