Chapter 1084: Throbbing Undercurrents

The immortal realms have existed for an unknown amount of time, and had witness generations upon generations of prosperity and decline.

In the perspective of the history of the immortal realms, even an amount of time such as a thousand or ten thousand years, was merely an inconsequential droplet of water in that vast river of time. The history of an ordinary person was merely just like that drop of water. Only those truly powerful ancient characters who could summon wind and rain and dominated their eras, could still exist in the memories of others even after countless years have passed.

Other than that, even for immortal emperor characters, their deeds were nothing when compared to those supreme characters. Let alone the deeds of ordinary people.

Time passed by, and very swiftly, seven years went by in the blink of an eye. The immortal realms were the same as before and there weren't any huge changes. However for these seven years, Qin Wentian felt that he lived substantially.

He and Di Tian were both in seclusion at the same time. Their cultivation bases have broken through to the second level of immortal foundation. He even sent some men to head towards the Evergreen Immortal Empire to see if there's any news on Qing`er. He wanted to see if Qing`er was still doing well. After getting the information that Qing`er also broke through to the second level and was brought away by her master, Matriarch Ji for further training, Qin Wentian felt at ease and toured many particle worlds with Mo Qingcheng, enjoying different sceneries and ways of life.

And in these seven years, the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect would often send out probing attacks to the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. There were casualties on both sides but the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect had greater losses. Their territorial line was being pushed back inch by inch by the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect. It felt like a huge war was brewing and could erupt at any moment.

In the face of the Eastern Sage Immortal Sect who had numerous years of foundation, although the speed of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect could be considered fast, they were still undoubtedly weak. All the major powers in the thirteen prefectures all looked down on the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect.

The cloud prefecture city was the headquarters of the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect. The governance and control of this main city were naturally better compared to the others. The Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect wanted to build this city up to the scale where it could be comparable to the Southern Phoenix Immortal City. However, this was evidently not something that can be done in a single day. Without thousands of years of effort, it was basically impossible.

Right now in a cultivation ground within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian was within a treasured cauldron. He stared at Mo Qingcheng who was in the air and spoke, "Qingcheng, your current physique is already strong enough. I think you are ready for the baptism of the Sacred Luminance. If you cannot endure it, I will immediately bring you away."

Through these seven years, Mo Qingcheng and the others didn't waste time and let their cultivations go to waste. Before this in the particle world, they were limited by many factors. But now, things were different, Qin Wentian gave them access to peak-level cultivation arts and innate techniques, as well as immortal-ranked pills and powerful body refinement methods that slowly improved their physiques.

But body refinement had a limit. For the last step, Sacred Luminance was definitely needed. It had the power to cleanse and baptize one's body, allowing it to grow closer to perfection.

"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly.

"Baptism by the Sacred Luminance doesn't care about one's cultivation level. It will refine your physique, and it is a test of your will. Qingcheng, do your best, but don't force yourself to endure if you are unable to. You can always attempt this again next time." Qin Wentian worriedly reminded.

"I know." Mo Qingcheng stuck her tongue out at Qin Wentian, making a mischievous face.

"Okay, come down then." Qin Wentian could only smile when he saw Mo Qingcheng's reactions. After that, Mo Qingcheng's body slowly descended into the treasured cauldron.

"Swish~" Mo Qingcheng entered the cauldron as she bathed within the rays of the Sacred Luminance.

"ARGH!" A low-sounding scream sounded out, Qin Wentian stiffened as he walked closer to Mo Qingcheng.

"DON'T!" Mo Qingcheng called out in a loud voice. The rays from the Sacred Luminance felt as though it wanted to destroy her body. She gritted her teeth, wanting to endure through it silently but gasps of pain still escaped her. This simply felt like torture.

"Qingcheng." Qin Wentian clenched his fists, feeling pain in his heart. Mo Qingcheng voluntarily requested for the baptism by Sacred Luminance this early because she was in a hurry. She saw how strong the cultivation bases people in the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was. Qin Wentian was also growing stronger and stronger. She felt very anxious in her heart. Qin Wentian knew this although she didn't say anything, he knew that Mo Qingcheng wanted nothing more than to increase her strength as fast as possible so that she wouldn't fall behind him too much. Mo Qingcheng has truly put in much effort in cultivation. Other than the little amounts of time spent together with him, the vast majority of her time was completely focused on cultivation.

"I can endure this." Mo Qingcheng's robes fluttered. Her body felt that it was about to rip apart. But her eyes were still filled with determination when she stared at Qin Wentian. Her dainty fists were tightly clenched as her entire body shuddered.

"Mhm." Qin Wentian heavily nodded. Being able to endure the start was already a very good situation.

Qin Wentian did his best to mask the pain in his heart, forcing himself to maintain the smile of encouragement on his face as he stared at Mo Qingcheng. Upon seeing his smile, Mo Qingcheng smiled as well despite the increasing pain, as her body shuddered more and more violently from the baptism process.

"ARGHHH~" Another scream echoed. She was at the point of not being able to endure any longer. But when she saw Qin Wentian standing there, an unknown source of courage sprang up in her heart. She would definitely be able to continue enduring. She would definitely be able to…

When Qin Wentian was experiencing the baptism himself, he didn't feel that the duration was so long. But when he saw the expression of indescribable pain on Mo Qingcheng's face as she was enduring, he felt knives stabbing into his heart. Numerous times, he just wanted to rush in and take Qingchen away. However, she would always tell him using her gaze that she could go on. Qin Wentian could sense that there were many times when Qingcheng was on the verge of her limits. However, she continued to endure based on a conviction.

The source of this conviction, was none other than Qin Wentian.

It felt like a very, very long time had passed. Qin Wentian already appeared by the side of Mo Qingcheng. He didn't use any strength and embraced her. Glimmers of tears could be seen in Mo Qingcheng's eyes. She was in terrible pain, this pain could only be described with the word, 'hellish.' However, for the sake of Qin Wentian, she had to persevere.

Finally, the Sacred Luminance took effect and refined her physique. Each and every part of Mo Qingcheng's body was being transformed. When everything was over, Mo Qingcheng stared at Qin Wentian and smiled. Qin Wentian carried her out of the treasured cauldron while holding her tightly.

"I've succeeded." A beautiful smile lit up Mo Qingcheng's face. After that, she fainted into unconsciousness in Qin Wentian's arms. Despite the immense pain she endured, her will wasn't broken yet and was stretched taut. It was only now that she could relax. She could no longer maintain consciousness.

"Mhm, you succeeded." Qin Wentian stared at the unconscious Mo Qingcheng in his arms and tightly embraced her. He lowered his head and kissed her gently on her forehead before he departed the area.

…

At this moment, within the cloud prefecture city, there were two beautiful maidens currently on the street. They were simply walking around, randomly touring the city and would pause when they saw things which they liked.

"Sis Luo Huan, what do you think that Wentian and Qingcheng are up to these days? They are so mysterious. I initially even wanted to ask them out and tour the city with us." These two maidens were none other than Qin Wentian's elder sister Qin Yao, as well as his senior apprentice sister Luo Huan. Currently in Luo Huan's embrace, Little Rascal was snuggling there. There was a look of enjoyment on his face.

Now, both the cultivation bases of these two maidens were already in the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. If this was in the perspective of particle worlds, they would stun everyone because they managed to break through to Celestial Phenomenon at such a young age. And because of their age, their looks were as youthful as before, and the charm and beauty they exuded even increased. With their broadened horizons, their temperaments were naturally also better than before.

"Let's go, we can take a break at that inn." Luo Huan pointed to an inn ahead as she spoke to Qin Yao.

"Mhm." The two of them found seats in the inn and sat down after they ordered a pot of tea.

"The immortal realms are truly too prosperous. Just a single street here is larger than the entire Sky Harmony City." Qin Yao stared out of the window at the passersby on the street as she smiled.

"You still remember the Sky Harmony City?" Luo Huan's beautiful eyes had hints of a smile. "Those years back then, that's where I met Wentian. The him then was just a little boy. Who would have thought that he could bring such great changes to our lives."

"Yeah, those years felt like a dream. Maybe in the future, we would also have an opportunity to become immortals." Qin Yao had a sweet smile on her face. In the past, she thought that Heavenly Dipper Sovereigns were already at the peak. But now, she herself was already at the Celestial Phenomenon Realm.

"Beautiful ladies, can we enjoy this pot of wonderful tea together with you?" At this moment, a voice drifted over from the side. Luo Huan and Qin Yao turned their gazes over only to see a few young men exuding an extraordinary aura sitting there. One of the young men had eyes that gleamed with a strange demonic light as he stared at Luo Huan and Qin Yao.

"No…" Qin Yao wanted to reject but the instant her eyes met that young man, her gaze gradually misted over. She then nodded and said, "Sure."

Luo Huan frowned, she called out, "Qin Yao!"

But as she spoke she shifted her gaze over. A moment later, she became like Qin Yao and her beautiful eyes lost all luster. She also lightly nodded, "Come over then."

"Thank you, beautiful ladies." Those young men came to the table where Qin Yao and Luo Huan was at. One among them asked, "Might I enquire what's the name of you pretty misses? What relationships do the both of you have with Qin Wentian?"

"My name is Qin Yao. Qin Wentian is my little brother." Qin Yao stated in a daze.

"I'm called Luo Huan, I'm Qin Wentian's senior apprentice sister."

"ROAR!" Little Rascal sensed something was wrong, he growled threateningly as he stared at the young man in front of them.

"Mhm?" Only now did this young man notice Little Rascal. His gaze turned even more demonic.

"Bzz~" Little Rascal frenziedly lunged over with its sharp talons, wanting to rake through the head of the young man.

The eyes of the young man gleamed with a terrifying light. And in an instant, Little Rascal fell into a seperate space, he had no way to extricate himself from there.

"Vile beast." A voice drilled into the mind of Little Rascal as Little Rascal howled in rage. His body expanded as his aura blasted out. The entire inn trembled from the might but the two other young men had already directly brought Luo Huan and Qin Yao away.

"Trap!" The young man coldly spoke. Little Rascal only felt the walls of his spatial prison closing in. He struggled and unleashed powerful attacks yet to no avail, he was unable to break through the spatial prison in such short moments. The young man then transformed into a gust of wind and flew away instantly. He understood that the situation wasn't good for them. That adorable pet the two maidens had with them, was actually a demon immortal.

From afar the guards from the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect patrolling the area instantly rushed over with extreme speed. This was the capital city where the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect was headquartered in, there usually wouldn't be any trouble here.

"ROAR!" A heaven-shaking sound thundered out. Little Rascal finally broke out of the spatial prison. He floated up in the sky but the enemies had already vanished.

Within the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect, Qin Wentian's eyes gleamed with sharpness. His heart turned heavy, he had telepathy with Little Rascal and sent Little Rascal to accompany Qin Yao and Luo Huan for their protection. However now, despite the measures he took, a mishap still happened!
