Chapter 1322: Lofty Aspirations
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
"This fellow…" The Crimson-Eyed Marquis was somewhat unhappy. He stared at Qin Wentian who was trying to steady his aura and asked, "Wentian, are you okay?"
"No problem." Qin Wentian nodded. That young immortal king seemed to be very unhappy with regards to him.
"That fellow is surnamed Evergreen, he isn't an ordinary noble and is someone who has a direct connection with his Majesty. He has always been arrogant but don't worry, I will report this incident to his Majesty to punish him." The Crimson-Eyed Marquis spoke.
"Oh, I see." Qin Wentian mused silently. He then smiled at Crimson-Eyed Marquis. "It's fine, it's normal to be injured during a spar. Let's not bother his Majesty about such a small matter."
"That's true. However that fellow clearly targeted you intentionally. Before this, we originally didn't arrange for him to spar against you but he entered the secret dimension out of his own volition. Clearly, his actions were intentional." The marquis spoke, seemingly somewhat angry. However, he was merely speaking of things in general, he wouldn't really report such a minor matter to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor or Qin Wentian might seemed a little too petty.
"Evergreen Yuhao's father is the blood brother of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor. He was extremely powerful but sadly, he died in the internal warfare of our empire back then. Hence, his Majesty has always felt guilt towards Evergreen Yuhao and hence, he spent numerous resources and sent him to all sorts of places for his cultivation. When you were in the sacred academy, he just returned, and he had broken through to the immortal king realm."
The Crimson-Eyed Marquis stared at Qin Wentian as he spoke. "He is intentionally targeting you. I suspect the reason for him doing so is because of the engagement between you and Qing`er."
"Mhm." Qin Wentian nodded his head lightly. "Let's get out of here first before chatting."
"Sure." The marquis nodded as they exited the dimension. After that, they headed towards the direction of Princess Changping's manor.
"During these few days of sparring, how do you feel?" The marquis asked.
"The path of cultivation can only be stabilized step by step." Qin Wentian smiled.
"Mhm, your foundation is terrifying. Once you step into the immortal king realm, your power would be a wonder to behold."
"How can it be so easy? I wonder when would I break through to the immortal king realm." Qin Wentian sighed.
"Why are you saying this? You are improving everyday and you have deep insights about your law domains. You will enter the immortal king realm sooner or later. Although others might need a very long period of time to do so, I believe you wouldn't need too long to cross the barrier." The Crimson-Eyed Marquis held Qin Wentian in very high regards.
"In the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, there's a senior named Bai Wuya who's said to have cultivated over 8,000 years. His talent is extremely outstanding, I wonder when would I be able to enter the immortal king realm." Qin Wentian spoke in a low voice.
"I've also heard of this character named Bai Wuya. Although it's said that he has cultivated over 8,000 years, his current cultivation level should be at the peak of immortal king. Since this is the case, when he stepped into the immortal king realm, his age wasn't so exaggerated. You have to know that after breaking through to the immortal king realm, every step you want to improve, might take a period of time longer than the total sum of your cultivation time." The marquis replied.
Qin Wentian nodded lightly. Senior brother Bai Wuya should have stayed for very long in the immortal king realm. Ten plus years ago in that battle in his particle world, Bai Wuya directly slayed the Deepflame Immortal King under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor. In the battle back then, his senior Bai turned the situation around with the power of one man.
"In addition, Bai Wuya's speed of cultivation is fast only when compared to some ordinary immortal kings. I know of some peak geniuses whose cultivation speed are extremely terrifying. As for you, you are someone that exceeds even them, and you have plenty of good fortune as well. Why can't you step into the immortal king realm in a short period of time? His Majesty already betrothed Qing`er to you when you are only at the immortal-foundation realm, do you know what this means? Which leader of an immortal empire in the immortal realms would do so? Is it really only because of the fact that you obtained victory in the adjudication battle?"
The Crimson-Eyed Marquis spoke, causing Qin Wentian's eyes to flicker. The marquis then continued, "Qing`er is the daughter which his Majesty dotes on the most, do you know how high the hope his Majesty is placing on your shoulders? With all your accomplishments, you might be the one who can create an unprecedented cultivation record. Why are you doubting yourself?"
Qin Wentian's heart trembled, sighing a little with guilt. He actually hasn't realized how heavily the Evergreen Immortal Emperor and Crimson-Eyed Marquis favored him. In fact, they even believed he was able to create an unprecedented cultivation record.
Since both of them believed in him so much, why can't he have a little conviction in himself?
Senior brother Bai Wuya was very powerful, but he didn't just depend on his talent alone. After entering the immortal king realm, he fought and tempered himself, growing even stronger and once even slaying thirteen opponents at the same level as him. Back then, during the time when the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor first did a recruitment in Qin Wentian's particle world, everyone thought that Bai Wuya was on equal levels with the Scarce Moon Immortal King, Undying Immortal King, etc. It was only until Bai Wuya killed the Deepflame Immortal King that everyone realized he hasn't shown the full extent of his strength.
"Since marquis already put it this way, I would have to work harder then." Qin Wentian smiled. The two of them arrived at Princess Changping's manor as they conversed. During these few days, he stayed over here. After all, Qing`er was merely engaged to him and they weren't officially married yet. Hence, he couldn't stay in Qing`er's residence right away.
But even so, Qing`er would often visit her aunt's place during these days.
"Qing`er." Qin Wentian saw Qing`er waiting for him. He smiled and walked forward, holding her dainty hand.
Qing`er exuded a cold demeanor, but she allowed Qin Wentian to hold her hand.
"Look at the both of you. How innocent, haha! I feel that we are intruding on your space." Princess Changping laughed.

"In that case, let us take our leave then. We won't disturb you two any longer." The marquis also laughed.
"Qing`er and I will roam around outside the royal palace." Qin Wentian spoke.
"Might as well, off you go then." Princess Changping didn't have any objections. Qin Wentian pulled Qing`er with him as they left and very swiftly, several figures followed after them in the shadows. Qin Wentian knew of their existences, these were the guards the Evergreen Immortal Emperor had arranged for their protection.
Right now, the situation was considered at an extreme. The calmness after the adjudication battle had already lasted for four months but everyone understood that it was impossible for the Skymist Immortal Empire to give up so easily. Who knows what methods they would attempt? Hence, the Evergreen Immortal Emperor decided to be more cautious.
Qin Wentian would not reject these guards. He and Qing`er carefreely left the palace and wandered about the luxurious capital of the Evergreen Empire.
On the streets, streams of humans could be seen. Qin Wentian and Qing`er's good looks naturally attracted plenty of attention. Their dispositions were simply too outstanding and many people were speculating about their identities.
"Qing`er, many people are looking at you." Qin Wentian pinched Qing`er's palm lightly as he smiled.
"They are looking at you." Qing`er replied in a cool tone.
"Mhm, using gazes of envy to look at me. Truly enjoyable." Qin Wentian's lips curled up in a satisfied smile, making everyone who saw it feel like wanting to beat him up. Being able to wander the streets with the woman he loved, forgetting about cultivation, was a rare moment of peace. This was also a wonderful thing.
Qing`er rolled her eyes, completely speechless.
"Let's head to some inn to enjoy good food?" Qin Wentian asked.
"Okay." Qing`er nodded her head lightly. After that, the two of them headed towards an inn and chose some good seats which enabled them to have a good view of the luxurious capital's streets.
"Do you dislike places with crowds?" Qin Wentian asked Qing`er who was sitting beside him.
Qing`er glanced at him and shook her head lightly, "With you here, I like everything."
Qin Wentian binked his eyes. This lass actually was able to say such moving words.
Staring at the heat in Qin Wentian's eyes, Qing`er's face blushed slightly. Qin Wentian held her hands and whispered, "Qing`er, actually I don't wish to marry you too early. Once, in my particle world, I was able to give Qingcheng a grand wedding. But now in the immortal realms, the me now still needs to depend on your royal father. I have no way to give you a grand wedding yet."
"Then, can we marry twice?" Qing`er smiled. Qin Wentian blinked again and spoke gently, "Qing`er, I'm growing fonder and fonder of you."
.....
At a place very far away, an inn was there as well. At this moment, at a certain place in the inn, a young man was currently drowning his unhappiness with drinks.
If Qin Wentian was here, he would be able to recognize that this young man was none other than the young immortal king Evergreen Yuhao.
Immortal kings were humans as well, and being humans would naturally have some frustrations and unhappiness. Hence, he was here alone drinking wine.
At this moment, an old man in shabby clothes entered the inn, he exuded no aura and his eyes had no brightness to them. He stumbled his way through and came before Evergreen Yuhao and actually sat down in front of him.
Evergreen Yuhao's eyes flashed with coldness. He was already unhappy, there's actually someone here now, disrupting his drinking.
"Young man, you shouldn't drink so much." The voice of the old man was hoarse, yet another voice actually rang out in Evergreen Yuhao's voice, "Evergreen Yuhao from the royal faction of the Evergreen Immortal Empire."
Evergreen Yuhao's eyes gleamed with sharpness as he stared at the old man. Since this old man knew of his status and dared to sit so brazenly before him, there was no way this old man was ordinary. However, he couldn't sense any aura from this old man. From this, he could tell that this old man must have a higher cultivation base compared to him.
"Who are you?" Evergreen Yuhao transmitted his voice over.
"My identity isn't important. Back then, what sort of character was your father? Protecting the Evergreen Immortal Emperor so he could ascend to the throne. Unfortunately he died in the end. Although the Evergreen Immortal Empire treats you pretty well, most of it was due to his guilt and pity. Your talent is shocking yet you are buried behind the screen and right now, a junior character is actually in the limelight and the Evergreen Immortal Emperor actually betrothed his daughter to him. One can very well imagine that in the future, that junior would have towering amounts of authority in this immortal empire and might even gain command over you."
The old man slowly spoke, his words causing Evergreen Yuhao's countenance to change, turning unsightly. He coldly snorted in the voice transmission, "Impudent! How dare you comment on the internal affairs of the Evergreen Immortal Empire?"
