Chapter 1784: Sword Monarch

Qin Wentian initially came here for the purpose of attending the convention, he had never once imagined that he would meet his mother’s clansmen. This can be considered a coincidence. If it wasn’t Ten Miles Spring Wind suggesting to rob the Heaven Immortal Tower, most probably even if he encountered Luoshen Lei now, he wouldn’t know there was such a connection between them and would treat her like a stranger.

And as of now, the importance of this matter in Qin Wentian’s heart, has already exceeded the Convention of the Myriad Realms.

However to many world overlords in the Mystic Region, the convention was the purpose for their journey here. Their gazes shone brightly and they were ready for it.

After that day since Qin Wentian displayed thirteen heavenheart mandates, a period of time has already passed. Although there were still people heading to the Heavenheart Mirror to display their brilliance, none was able to cause the level of commotion Qin Wentian caused that day. This lasted all the way until the Heavenheart Mirror disappeared, causing the mountain it was on to turn back into an ordinary one.

And during the second day after the Heavenheart Mirror vanished, on the top of the ancient mountain, inside the Time Realm, it suddenly began to glow with resplendent light. This light seemed to have originated from the heavens and shot out in four directions, illuminating all corners of the Time Realm. It was a large monument with four-sides to it, slowly revolving in the air. Some experts wanted to grab hold of it only to discover that there was no substance to it. It was truly like light, it was impossible for them to touch it.

“What is that?” At this moment, in the residential palace Qin Wentian was in, Mo Qingcheng stood beside him and asked in a soft voice. Those four beams of light were too resplendent. There seemed to be a wondrous diagram in them, radiating might from the great dao. Qin Wentian similarly wasn’t able to see through it. He stared at the four beams of light and replied, “There would always be wondrous objects appearing during every convention to test the world overlords here to attend it. There should be some secrets hidden in this four-sided stone monument but I have no way to see through it for now.”

“All of these, are they really controlled by the three hegemonic powers behind?” Mo Qingcheng asked. It was rumored that the Time Realm was the place the Time King cultivated in back then in the past. Maybe, there might be some inheritances left behind by him. Naturally, this was only a conjecture.

“Who knows. But the three hegemonic powers are considered the supreme overlords of the Mystic Regions. They should be the clearest about this.” Qin Wentian replied.

In another residential palace, Old Ghost’s eyes narrowed into slits as he stared at the four-sided stone monument that was radiating light. His expression was extremely heavy, this seemed to be the Time Monument Inscription in the legends. Even in the Convention of the Myriad Realms, it was extremely rare for it to appear. He had participated in many conventions before but this was only the second time he saw this.

And the previous time it appeared, a character that even the three hegemonic powers were terrified of, rose up. And now, that fearsome character was already a legend of the Mystic Region but as for him, Old Ghost, he was still a relatively unknown individual.

Old Ghost took out his messaging crystal and sent out a message to a few other immortal senses, “Quickly come over to my place and follow me somewhere.”

“Old Ghost, what’s the matter?” Ten Miles Springwind asked.

“Right.” Cao Tian nodded.

Phoenix and Qin Wentian also replied respectively as they headed towards Old Ghost’s palace. Old Ghost was the most mysterious individual among the five of them. His age was the greatest and Qin Wentian always felt that Old Ghost was cloaked in a haze of mystery. Back then when Old Ghost, who was wearing simple clothing, was heading to the Time City, Jun Mengchen even thought that this person was just an ordinary old man. If it wasn’t for the fact that Qin Wentian was at the world overlord realm, he also wouldn’t have sensed it and would have thought the same as Jun Mengchen.

Not long after, all of them gathered at Old Ghost’s place.

“Old Ghost, why did you suddenly gather us? Is it because of the four beams of light that shot out of that monument?” Phoenix asked directly.

“Mhm. Other than Wentian, this shouldn’t be the first time that you guys have participated in the convention, right? Have you seen this before?” Old Ghost asked.

“Never.” The three others shook their heads. Cao Tian then spoke, “You should have attended the convention the most. Could it be that you know something? Is there something special about the four beams of light?”

“A very long time ago, I’ve seen it once before. And in the convention of that year, there’s still one more person who attended. You guys would surely know of him.” Old Ghost mysteriously spoke.

“Who?” Ten Miles Springwind curiously asked. The others also stared at Old Ghost. This old fellow was purposely building up the suspense.

“Jian Junlai” Old Ghost heavily spoke.

“Who?” Ten Miles Springwind had a look of bewilderment on his face, he hasn’t heard of this name before.

“I don’t know him.” Cao Tian also shook his head. There was also a look of puzzlement on Phoenix’s face.

Qin Wentian had a face filled with black lines. Didn’t Old Ghost say that everyone would know of this person? Why is it that none of them knew about this Jian Junlai? This Old Ghost…

Old Ghost who wanted to build up their suspense, also had a face filled with black lines now. He speechlessly stared at them, “I’ve forgotten your ages. It’s impossible for you all to know his realm name. He has another title though, he is known as the Sword Monarch.”

“What?” Ten Miles Springwind instantly turned to stone. His eyes shone with a bright light. He has never heard of the name ‘Jian Junlai’, but who would not know who the Sword Monarch is? This person was an absolute legend, an extremely powerful character.

“Sword Monarch of the Mystic Region, the number one sword under the heavens.” Cao Tian’s eyes narrowed. He stared at Old Ghost, “Old Ghost, how old are you exactly? To think that you attended the same convention as the Sword Monarch before.”

Ten Miles Springwind and Phoenix both had strange looks on their faces when they heard this. All of them had mock looks of disdain in their eyes when they looked at Old Ghost.

“He, the Sword Monarch, is already so famous that his name shakes the heaven and is known as the number one sword in the Mystic Region. Old man, you are still here attending the Convention of Myriad Realms? Isn’t the disparity a little too great?” Phoenix spoke contemptuously. Old Ghost’s expression instantly turned dark. “Fine, you guys can leave then. I don’t want to speak any longer.”

“Don’t. Old Ghost, did the Sword Monarch really attend the same convention as you before?” Ten Miles Springwind weakly smiled, as he asked in curiosity. The Sword Monarch was his idol.

“Hmph, do you guys think it’s very long ago? How many years have the Sword Monarch been famous for? It’s not even 100,000 years yet. Is it considered long to spend 100,000 years cultivating in the World Overlord Realm? Of course not.” Old Ghost stared at them and grumbled. “If everyone has Sword Monarch’s talent, right now my fame would have also rocked the world. Do I still need to be friends with you guys?”

“Yes, yes. You are right.” Ten Miles Springwind laughed. “In that case, when you attended the same convention with the Sword Monarch back then, the same scene appeared?”

“Mhm.” Old Ghost’s expression turned heavy. He nodded his head, “Back then when Sword Monarch had attended the convention, he wasn’t famous then but his performance was extremely dazzling. He was noticed by everyone and he even had a conflict with a genius from the superstrong Heaven Hiding Mansion. You guys should already know what happened next. Jian Junlai went there alone with a sword in his hands and razed the entire Heaven Hiding Mansion to flat ground. This caused a tsunami-level of commotion back then and the three hegemonic powers also noticed him because the Heaven Hiding Mansion was a vassal force to one of the three hegemonic powers. You guys should know which power I’m speaking about and must also have heard of what happened next.”

“In that case, is the rumor true that Jian Junlai really did defeat that heavenly deity that was sent out by the Heavenly Deity Mountain?” Ten Miles Springwind asked.

“The truth is far more ridiculous than the rumors. If not, why did you think that that particular hegemonic power decided to compromise and not pursue Jian Junlai any longer? From then on, the title Sword Monarch rang out famously in the Mystic Region but it was said that the Sword Monarch also made a compromise. From then on, he seemed to have disappeared. Only very few people were able to see him.” Old Ghost slowly spoke.

“There are even rumors saying that he might have already been killed. I wonder if that is true.” Cao Tian spoke.

“Naturally not.” Old Ghost directly rejected this. Cao Tian stared at him puzzled. “How can you be so sure? Can it be that you know something?”

“How can it be possible for the Sword Monarch to be killed?” Old Ghost didn’t reply directly. He continued, “Enough, let’s temporarily not mention about the matter those years ago. The more important thing now is this, the stone monument generating the four beams of light were known as the Time Monument Inscription. I dared to confirm that this has nothing to do with the hegemonic powers, it’s something the Time Realmlord left behind.

“Time Realmlord.” The eyes of everyone gleamed sharply. “What is the Time Monument Inscription exactly?

“I don’t know. I only know that in the convention that year, Jian Junlai managed to comprehend the true meaning of the Time Monument Inscription. From then on, his sword skills improved at a tremendous pace until he was known as the Sword Monarch, the number one sword under the heavens in the Mystic Region. But as to what he had comprehended, I’m not very sure. Maybe, the comprehension everyone gains from the Time Monument Inscription is different from the others.” Old Ghost slowly spoke.

“Seems like a new Sword Monarch is about to be born.” Ten Miles Springwind mumbled in a serious tone.

“Who?” Cao Tian stared at him and asked.

“That person is just right before you. Can’t you see him?” Ten Miles Springwind spoke with mock bewilderment.

“Scram.” Cao Tian roared, this Ten Miles Springwind was truly shameless, referring to himself.

“Let’s go the the location below the monument. Although we can see it here, I still feel some distance when looking at it from so far away.” Old Ghost spoke. After that, five silhouettes flashed as they headed towards the ancient mountain where the Heavenheart Mirror effect used to be at.

When they arrived, many world overlords have already gathered here. This included the world overlords of the various peak powers.

For the things Old Ghost knew about, ordinary world overlords might not know. But these were all the major powers at the peak of the Mystic Region, they naturally would also know about it. Hence, they treated the appearance of the Time Monument Inscription with extreme importance. Even world overlords from the older generations have arrived too. They were seated cross-legged in different locations on the ancient mountain, all staring up at the revolving four-sided stone monument in the air.

Qin Wentian’s group sat together. He was also staring up at the stone monument. Sword Monarch, Jian Junlai, although he hasn’t heard this name before, but since he could be known as the number one sword under the heavens, one could very well imagine how powerful he is. Maybe all his accomplishments couldn’t be credited to this Time Monument Inscription alone but this was still worth it to try and probe the mysteries within.
