Chapter 1 Chu

In a particle world, Chu Country, Tianyong City.

A fifteen or sixteen-year-old youth sank his waist, stepped firmly, his figure like a dragon. He roared, seemingly transforming into a furious dragon. His fist unleashed a burst of air, and a stone pier in front of him exploded directly, sending stone fragments flying in all directions. The youth seemed to be in a state of enlightenment, his mind completely immersed, forgetting to eat and sleep.

"Is this the little fellow?" God King Xi, hidden in the void, looked at the youth with a hint of curiosity in his eyes.

He had followed the traces of cause and effect in the river of time and finally found this youth. Just as the Time God King had said, even with the person standing right in front of him, he could not see through his destiny.

This was an inconceivable thing. As a Celestial Venerable, among the most supreme beings within endless space, he was now unable to see through a youth who had just embarked on the path of cultivation.

At this moment, he truly confirmed the youth's identity: a person with an uncertain fate.

"Severing his own meridians for cultivation, quite the resolve," God King Xi thought. Although this method could enhance one's perception of the Nine Heavens Stars, it was akin to crippling oneself before becoming a Martial Fate cultivator.

God King Xi observed the youth before him. Now that he had confirmed him as someone with an uncertain fate, he naturally had to consider carefully whether the youth was worth nurturing.

However, he already had an answer in his heart. Although his own original fate was unknown, since he had such a great karmic connection with this youth, he must have acknowledged him in whatever state he was in.

"Moreover, there is a hidden aura on his body… somewhat strange, even I cannot see through it. Could it be the opportunity that *that one* threw into endless space?"

God King Xi muttered to himself. He could sense a trace of a hidden aura within the youth's body, but even he could not see through it completely.

Even treasures created by Celestial Venerables with realms higher than his own could not completely elude his perception, except for the legendary creator of the Creation Holy City.

Combined with the youth's identity as someone with an uncertain fate, he felt that the youth might have truly obtained the fortune passed down by *that one*.

"Qin Wentian, is it…" God King Xi, concealed in the void, watched quietly. He wasn't in a hurry now. After all, it wasn't easy to move an entire universe, and moving it to a specific spacetime established by the Creation Holy City was impossible with their power alone; they needed to set up a special formation.

Furthermore, the time it took to move a universe across endless space to the spacetime of the Creation Holy City could easily be thousands or tens of thousands of years.

Of course, during this period, he and the Time God King would definitely make other arrangements. Since they were about to become the Domain Lords of a celestial domain within the Creation Holy City, their home universe would naturally be considered part of the Creation Holy City's forces, and they certainly had to establish it well.

Therefore, although he had to observe Qin Wentian, it wasn't possible for his true self to watch him at all times; leaving behind a wisp of divine sense was sufficient. As for the future, it would depend on Qin Wentian's performance.

……

Within the Royal Sacred Region, Qin Wentian was immersed in his own comprehension, sitting cross-legged, sometimes frowning, sometimes revealing a look of sudden understanding.

More than thirty years had passed, and Qin Wentian had already reached the Celestial Phenomenon realm, not far from the Immortal Platform realm, which was known as the realm of immortals. Moreover, he had already mastered five types of Martial Dao True Intent, and was even beginning to try to fuse the True Intents, transforming them into a new power.

"Huff…"

After a long time, his eyes regained clarity, and a radiant gleam finally emerged within them. A sharp aura burst forth from his body, seemingly about to tear through the sky.

"The Star Infant is truly profound…"

Qin Wentian couldn't help but marvel. This Star Infant, which he had obtained when he was young, was a treasure that was fused within his sea of consciousness, undetectable to anyone but him.

At the same time, this treasure had an extraordinary and profound function. Every time he opened a Star Gate, he could comprehend all the stellar mysteries of a Star River.

Moreover, the Nine Heavens Stars within the Star Infant were exactly the same as the real Nine Heavens Star River, but he could use his soul to directly comprehend them, as if he were cultivating on that very star.

It was precisely because of this profoundness that he was able to reach the Celestial Phenomenon realm at such a young age, becoming a top expert in this particle world.

"Recently, that peerless expert is going to come to the Royal Sacred Region to accept disciples. Could it be because of Qing'er?" Qin Wentian thought.

Recently, there had been rumors in the Royal Sacred Region that a great power from beyond the region would come to accept disciples, and above the sky, several figures would occasionally descend from beyond the heavens, slowly falling towards the lower realms, continuously.

They all came from higher-level worlds, and each of them possessed extremely astonishing talent and strength, riding on golden holy dragons. Each of them was very young, but each of them was like an immortal from the Nine Heavens, with overwhelming power.

Moreover, many beings from the upper realms came to the Royal Sacred Region, acting lawlessly and committing many acts of slaughter. Even Qin Wentian had taken action many times, killing those who harmed living beings.

It was conceivable how much impact this matter had caused. And just a few days later, above the vast and endless sky, a world-destroying vortex suddenly appeared. At that moment, it was as if the end of the world had arrived, causing people to feel a frantic tremor in their hearts.

Afterwards, the destructive vortex above the sky gradually transformed, and an incomparably magnificent spectacle faintly appeared, gradually revealing itself before the eyes of the world, like an incomparably majestic immortal palace.

At this moment, the great power who came to accept disciples, a hegemon within the Immortal Realm, known as the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, finally descended upon the Royal Sacred Region, immediately replacing the world and earth of the Royal Sacred Region with his own upon arrival.

Countless people trembled in their hearts. This was a true great power, standing at the pinnacle of the world, invincible in the world. No one could imagine such a powerful being, and who could possibly fight against him.

And in the high sky, there was a young being, with sharp eyes, aloof and proud. Although he was young, he had already surpassed the realm of the human world, reaching the realm of immortals.

"My father, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, will select a personal disciple in this particle world of the Royal Sacred Region. The age limit is within one hundred years, and there is no limit to the cultivation level. The selection will take place in the Heavenly Palace above the sky in seven days."

He was the youngest son of the Eastern Sage, Dong Shengting. At this moment, he spoke slowly, standing above the infinitely distant Heavenly Palace. His cold and arrogant voice resounded throughout the entire Royal Sacred Region at this moment, and the world was shaken.

"In seven days, a guiding channel will appear. Those who want to compete can enter the Heavenly Palace on their own. If you enter the Immortal Palace, your life and death are your own responsibility. Think carefully before you act," Dong Shengting said, then turned and left, disappearing into the Heavenly Palace not long after.

He was an extremely arrogant person, not taking the people of the particle world seriously. If not for the request of the Evergreen Great Emperor, how could his father possibly come to this small particle world to accept a disciple from a mortal?

Seven days passed quickly. Everyone in the Royal Sacred Region was already gearing up. Although they knew that the opportunity was very slim, there were still many people who wanted to try. After all, if they had the opportunity to be accepted as disciples by a strong person from the Immortal Realm, it would be a rare opportunity for the creatures of the Royal Sacred Region to rise to the heavens in one step.

However, although this kind of opportunity was good, it was not suitable for Qin Wentian. According to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's requirements, if he were to become his disciple, he would only be able to go out once every thousand years, and he might only receive the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's guidance once or twice.

At other times, he would cultivate with an Immortal King under the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor's command.

But this situation was difficult for Qin Wentian to accept. From having no cultivation to having his current cultivation realm, he had only cultivated for more than thirty years.

A thousand years was too long for him. He couldn't waste such a long time. Even if he cultivated alone, his realm would be far more than just an ordinary Immortal Platform realm.

"It seems that Immortal Emperor figures are not so easy to 'climb up' to." At this point, Qin Wentian knew very well that the reason why this Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was willing to accept him as a disciple was entirely because of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor's face. This was originally an opportunity that Evergreen and Qing'er had fought for him.

Unfortunately, he couldn't choose this opportunity, so in the end, he could only bow to the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor and say, "Your Majesty, Qin Wentian is not blessed."

"I never thought that I, the Eastern Sage, would actually want to accept a disciple with questionable character. How laughable." However, the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was very indifferent to this result, and his eyes were extremely cold as he looked at Qin Wentian, saying, "You have already performed the apprenticeship ceremony, so you already have a master-disciple relationship with me. Betraying the master's sect, according to the rules of the Immortal Realm, you should be executed."

Just refusing to become his disciple, and the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor wanted to execute him. This made Qin Wentian's heart turn cold. He had originally thought that the other party had come because of the Evergreen Immortal Emperor, and would at least take him into consideration. Even if he didn't become a disciple, he would at most give him some minor punishment. But who would have thought that this Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was so narrow-minded that he would directly take his life.

Faced with this kind of being, even if he had more trump cards, it would be useless. The gap was too great, and no trump card could make up for it.

However, just as he was thinking about how to save his life, a voice suddenly sounded in his mind: "Qin Wentian, I have a way to save your life, are you willing?"

Qin Wentian was immediately stunned. In that instant, he felt that time had stopped. It was as if only he could move in the entire world.

This kind of great power made his heart tremble, because even that high and mighty Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor was also frozen in place. Time seemed to have stopped flowing on him.

Then, the voice in his mind sounded again, but it was not in the depths of his mind, but in his ear.

A figure slowly walked out, with the starlight of the heavens enveloping his figure. Qin Wentian could clearly feel that there was the power of billions of stars of the Nine Heavens Star River on his body.

He had recently used the Star Infant to comprehend some of them at close range, and he would never misremember this.

The being in front of him was like the embodiment of the Nine Heavens Star River, with supreme power. All Daos were displayed on his body, and he even felt that the Star Infant on his body came from this being.

However, he guessed wrong about this. The Star Infant he possessed was thrown out by Jiang Xuan, and anyone in the entire endless space could obtain it. There had been several previous hosts before Qin Wentian, but it eventually fell into Qin Wentian's hands.

"How about it? As long as you agree, I can guarantee your safe departure, and you can see a wider world." The mysterious figure spoke again, with the power of rules contained within his voice, incomparably profound.

Qin Wentian's mind was initially shaken, but he gradually calmed down. He looked at the mysterious being who had appeared in front of him, and bowed, "Senior… why are you helping this junior? This junior is just an insignificant little cultivator."

He didn't understand this very much. In front of such beings, even a high and mighty Immortal Emperor like the Eastern Sage was just an ant, but such an existence personally appeared to help him. This was very incomprehensible.

Unless, as he thought, the Star Infant in his mind was related to the existence in front of him.

However, the mysterious being was very calm when he heard this, and slowly explained, "This world is about to undergo drastic changes. An unprecedented great era is about to begin. I need a group of beings to walk ahead of all living beings, to open up a wider world."

"A group of beings?" Qin Wentian was slightly taken aback. This meant that he was not the only one; he was just one of the selected beings.

However, he couldn't really judge whether the words of this mysterious expert were true or false.

However, he had no choice at this time. Since the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor had already spoken, wanting to execute him, then it was absolutely impossible for him to leave him alive. If he didn't agree, he really couldn't think of any other way to save his life.

"I don't know, what does this junior need to do?"

In the end, Qin Wentian chose to agree. This was his only way to save his life. Moreover, he also knew very well that if such an existence wanted to obliterate him, there was no need for so much trouble. With a single thought, he could kill him millions of times.

"It's very simple." The mysterious being turned his hand over and took out a jade talisman, handing it to Qin Wentian, "You refine this jade talisman, and you will know all the rules within it. In addition to this, you can also use it for spacetime transfer. Even if an Immortal Emperor takes action, it is impossible to stop it."

"Even an Immortal Emperor cannot stop it?!" Qin Wentian couldn't help but click his tongue. If it was true, such a treasure was simply priceless, but this existence didn't seem to care at all. The other party's foundation was indeed beyond imagination.

But thinking about it, he didn't see this existence take action at all, but even the Immortal Emperor was fixed in place, completely beyond his comprehension.

After a little thought, he took the jade talisman and began to refine it. After a period of time, the jade talisman actually melted, and finally turned into a divine light and遁 entered his sea of consciousness. At the same time, a memory emerged.

"Primordial God Temple?"

This was a record about a force. This was a supreme force called the Primordial God Temple, independent from all worlds, transcendent above all, and the real goal was unknown, but based solely on the memory in his mind, Qin Wentian couldn't see any malice in the other party.

As for the jade talisman, once it was refined, it would only belong to him alone. The person exists, the talisman exists; the person dies, the talisman dies. And the jade talisman had many functions, in addition to the spacetime transfer mentioned by the mysterious being, it could also record merit points, collect cultivation techniques, resources, and so on.

These were related to the reward and punishment mechanism of the God Temple's internal members, and spacetime transfer, once used, would transfer him to the nearest branch stronghold of the Primordial God Temple.

Although it was called a stronghold, according to the records in the jade talisman, it was a special world that relied on the Immortal Realm, yet was also transcendent.

"If it's true… it's really an unimaginable force." After a long time, Qin Wentian opened his eyes, recalling those memories, and couldn't help but sigh.

However, when he opened his eyes again, the mysterious being had already disappeared, and the surrounding time seemed to have resumed flowing again. The high and mighty Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, as well as his loyal subordinates, were all looking at him indifferently.
