Chapter 1933: Behind the Calmness

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

Qin Wentian sat on the divine throne and hugged Ouyang Qinxin. A snowy white figure then leapt onto his shoulder, “Wow there’s so many people.”

“Don’t you like things to be lively? Where’s purgatory?” Qin Wentian asked.

“She is with elder sister Qianyu.” Little Rascal replied. Qin Wentian nodded lightly. His divine sense swept out and after that, he turned towards a direction behind him, as a smile appeared on his face. Over there, there were three beauties present. Ye Qianyu, Purgatory and Jialan Qiuyue.

Ye Qianyu even winked towards Qin Wentian when she sensed the divine sense scan. She exuded charm. Qin Wentian smiled and shook his head. This third wife of his was truly a demoness.

“Why don’t you go over?” Jialan Qiuyue, who was beside Ye Qianyu, asked in a soft voice.

“Qingcheng and Qing`er knew him during his youth and have been by his side for many years, enduring countless trials and tribulations with him. Sometimes, a woman has to understand when to take a step back.” Ye Qianyu smiled. She was also Qin Wentian’s wife. To her, as long as he still loved her, it was enough for her. She also knew the weightage of Qing`er and Mo Qingcheng in Qin Wentian’s heart. If she wanted to compete with them for every single thing that would actually produce the opposite of her desired result.

“You are really a very intelligent woman.” Jialan Qiuyue sighed.

“So, you have to think clearly on how much do you really like him. You should understand that countless beauties surround him and in addition to his current status, how difficult it would be to become his woman? Even if one day he truly accepted you, how much do you have to endure until then? The question is, can you endure until that point of time?” Ye Qianyu’s beautiful eyes stared at Jialan Qiuyue. A streak of stubbornness could be seen in Jialan Qiuyue’s beautiful eyes. She nodded, “Naturally.”

However, her heart had already wavered somewhat. She naturally could see that there were a bevy of beauties around Qin Wentian. And now, just beside her and Ye Qianyu, there was another one. Purgatory has an alluring figure and exuded demonic charm. Also, there were countless pretty women near the divine throne, all of them were acquaintances of Qin Wentian since a long time ago and had even undergone many hardships with him. What does she, Jialan Qiuyue, count as?

Ye Qianyu smiled at her, she had naturally already seen through what Jialan Qiuyue was thinking. “For us women, the hardest thing for us to be freed from, is none other than the word ‘love.’ I wish you good luck.”

In truth, she wasn’t really fond of Jialan Qiuyue but she was still willing to bring her along, giving her a chance. Back then, she grew interested in Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian had displayed his talent but he wasn’t a major character yet. For him, she was willing to be imprisoned for many years and it was precisely because of what she was willing to give up for him, that led to them eventually being together. All this was possible only because she was willing to give everything up.

Also, she naturally understood that at the time when she was sacrificing everything for him, there was also another woman doing the same for Qin Wentian. In addition, the status of the woman in Qin Wentian’s heart was not in anyway inferior to her. That woman was none other than Beiming Youhuang.

However, Beiming Youhuang’s personality was cold. Although she had feelings for Qin Wentian, she would never take the initiative to say it. Hence, they didn’t get together. It was like as long as she could be beside Qin Wentian protecting him, she wouldn’t have any complaints.

Everyone has a different attitude towards the word ‘love.’ For Ye Qianyu, her attitude towards love was like a blazing flame, lighting people up. But for Beiming Youhuang, she was the complete opposite.

Naturally, Ye Qianyu understood that there are two people in Qin Wentian’s heart whom no one could ever replace. Hence, many times, she would choose to take a step back, not fighting for his affection with Qing`er and Qingcheng. She treated them sincerely and wanted to be like real sisters. Since they have all chosen such a man, she knew when she should give instead of badgering on receiving. For Qingcheng and Qing`er, their personalities were too nice. Their hearts could only contain Qin Wentian alone. For the troublesome matters of the harem, Ye Qianyu knew that she was the one most suited to handle it. She didn’t want to give Qin Wentian any trouble, she also couldn’t bear to give him trouble.

Although right now he was already seated in that divine throne where countless people were willing to worship him, despite the glory, she understood that he had many burdens on his back. He cannot take a wrong step. Everyone of his true friends were like family to him. He needed to be the one to protect everything. The pressure on him was as heavy as a mountain.

Qin Wentian naturally didn’t know of Ye Qianyu’s thoughts at this moment. But he knew that she would always choose to compromise and take a step back if Qing`er and Qingcheng were in the picture. He knew what she had to give up, she was really a very intelligent woman and he also knew of her love for him. Ye Qianyu understood how to love someone.

“We pay respects to Sect Leader Qin.” Before the divine throne, many people appeared. All of them bowed low to Qin Wentian.

“It is I, Qin’s, honor that everyone was able to come here today. Currently, I’ve established the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect in the boundless sea region and I’m formally announcing that I will absolutely not swallow up any minor or major powers in the Heaven Region. As long as no one wants to make an enemy out of me, I won’t be an enemy to any of you.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. Many of those who came were people from the various powers in the Heaven Region. Some wanted to be his vassal forces, some wanted to enter the Heaven Vault for cultivation. Naturally, some were also worried that Qin Wentian would start a war and perform hostile takeovers towards the non-hegemonic powers in the Heaven Region.

Hence, Qin Wentian’s words caused many people to set their hearts at ease.

“Given Sect Leader Qin’s cultivation and vision, all of us naturally believe that ordinary powers in the Heaven Region wouldn’t be in the eyes of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. On the contrary, all of us from the ordinary powers actually hope to join the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect as vassal forces, becoming part of the divine sect.” One of the experts didn’t beat around the bush and directly spoke. He was a hegemonic-level world overlord.

“I’m an unaffiliated cultivator and I’m also willing to join the divine sect, becoming part of it and execute orders on behalf of Sect Leader Qin.” Another expert spoke. After this, more and more people expressed their stances, all wanting to either becoming vassal forces or to join the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect.

At their current levels at the peak of the world overlord realm, what were they pursuing?

Undoubtedly, they were pursuing the deity realm.

As for becoming vassals to a greater power, this was very common and not shameful at all. Only after becoming a heavenly deity would they themselves, their clan, their power, have a new beginning.

It was rumored that Heaven Vault connects the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms to the nine heavenly layers. It was one of the best cultivation secret realms for cultivators. This was an opportunity to them.

Qin Wentian calmly watched everything, he also understood the thoughts of everyone. He then spoke, “I will directly say this. Only core members of my divine sect, as well as people from my alliance can enter the Heaven Vault to cultivate. All of you want to be a part of my divine sect for the sake of entering the Heaven Vault. However, I have to say that in these circumstances where I’m not familiar with all of you, as well as the fact that none of you has ever made any contributions to the divine sect before, it’s impossible for me to allow you all to enter.”

Qin Wentian’s words caused many people to feel disappointed. However, they understood this point in their hearts. Qin Wentian really knew nothing about them, most of these people were ordinary powers in the Heaven Region. How could it be possible for him to allow them to cultivate in the Heaven Vault?

Who knew if they had connections with other hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms or not?

“Naturally, since I have established the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect, it’s impossible for me to reject those who want to join. I naturally also want to recruit members. Currently, the different factions of my alliance with the other hegemonic powers. Each of them occupy a divine city in the Boundless Sea Region. If you wish to join, you all have to start by joining one of the factions first. After that, you will have the chance to become a core member based on your contributions to the sect. Only then would you be able to enter the Heaven Vault.” Qin Wentian calmly spoke. He naturally hoped for the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect to expand and strengthen. However, he wasn’t willing to accept members casually.

Just like what Ye Qianyu speculated, in truth, the pressure on him was extremely great. Although there was a period of calmness for many years after that deity-level battle in the Qin Clan, he knew that the eyes of all the hegemonic powers in the immortal realms was still on him. He had to advance and continue to enhance his strength to be better prepared for any dangers he might meet in the future.

And precisely because of this threat that existed, he had also chosen to keep a low profile during these years and didn’t intentionally stir up matters. Both parties seemed to have reached a fragile balance of peace. However, he knew that this balance would be broken sooner or later.

Currently, the strength of the powers within the Heaven Vault was very strong. There’s the Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystical Palace, Luoshen Clan, and the Demon God Mountain. However, the Qiankun Sect, Nine Heavens Mystical Palace and Demon God Mountain were just in the alliance and not truly a part of the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. If a calamity that would result in absolute annihilation was to appear, they might very well choose to leave the Heaven Vault. After all, they were in an alliance because they wanted to cooperate with each other. But it was impossible for them to tank everything. It wasn’t realistic. At the end, Qin Wentian would still have to depend on himself.

Hence, he established the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect. Any power would need time to expand and strengthen itself. However, he was the controller of the Heaven Vault. He could shorten the amount of time needed and he believed that a new batch of heavenly deities would appear sooner or later.

Naturally, Qin Wentian has also already conversed with the Southern Phoenix Clan, Darknorth Immortal Emperor and Matriarch Ji. These powers were still considered one of the weakest ones under him. Although he did his best to nurture them, they would still need a lot of time. The best way to allow the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect to grow stronger, was to absorb other powers from the outside.

Everyone nodded after they heard Qin Wentian’s words, there were looks of contemplation on their faces.

“Let’s leave the topic of joining the divine sect temporarily aside for now. But if you all are unwilling, I won’t force you either. Today, since all of you have given me face and came all the way here, my divine sect has prepared a banquet. Everyone can feel free to enjoy the delicacies in the divine sect.” Qin Wentian waved his hand and spoke. A moment later, serving girls appeared and began to set the tables and bring out the dishes.

Qin Wentian left after he toasted everyone. Given his status, there was no need for him to accompany them. Everyone also understood this. In fact, being able to enjoy a banquet today when they came to the divine sect, was already an act of politeness by Qin Wentian. After all, many of these experts here weren’t from hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms. Their statuses were naturally lower.

And as for those hegemonic powers, they didn’t come at all. That deity-level battle in the Qin Clan in the past made it so that many hegemonic powers stood in opposition against Qin Wentian. Why would they come here to offer congratulations to Qin Wentian for establishing the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect?

Unfortunately, some of the guests in the banquet today silently spread the news to the hegemonic powers. After the hegemonic powers learned that the Qin Heavenly Divine Sect was established and was formally recruiting members, all of them felt some worry in their hearts.

Right now, who among the hegemonic powers of the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms wasn’t afraid of Qin Wentian growing stronger?

They were the same as Qin Wentian and could see the situation clearly. All of them knew that the balance would be broken sooner or later. Behind the calmness, a shocking storm would brew sooner or later.

Right now, both parties were enduring. No one wanted to easily start another deity-level battle like that time in the Qin Clan.

Naturally, the hegemonic powers in the Supreme Ancient Immortal Realms understood that they couldn’t afford to wait for too long, but Qin Wentian could. Time was on Qin Wentian’s side. Because, given Qin Wentian’s talent and in addition to the advantage he had in the Heaven Vault, he would only grow stronger and stronger. The power he established would expand larger and larger as well!
