Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

For some major characters who were spectating the battles, they suddenly turned their gazes towards the location of Qin Wentian’s residential palace. They could sense the purity of the astral energy that descended down there. It was also extremely strong.

“There’s actually someone condensing an astral soul.” They felt somewhat astonished. In the Time Realm, they clearly didn’t feel that it was someone breaking through to the heavenly deity level. It should be someone condensing their eighth astral soul at the world overlord level.

Powerful strands of immortal senses gushed forth, ignoring the distances as numerous major characters scried the residential palace Qin Wentian was in.

At this moment, Qin Wentian didn’t reveal the newly condensed astral soul. He opened his eyes and stood up. When he sensed the power of these immortal senses, he could tell how strong some of these people are. His own immortal sense wasn’t able to traverse such a long distance. But luckily, only a relatively few people had such powerful immortal senses among them and they were all major characters.

“It’s actually him.” After the immortal senses ‘saw’ Qin Wentian, many people were stunned. Before this, Qin Wentian displayed a total of thirteen heavenheart mandates and insta-killed a genius world overlord of the Dragon Pool Manor, Longyuan Haoyu. They naturally knew who he is. But this transcendent-level world overlord actually has not condensed his eighth astral soul until now? What does this mean?

This meant that the time which Qin Wentian has broken through to the world overlord realm wasn’t that long. Also, among the thirteen heavenheart mandates he displayed before, he has yet to integrate the attribute energy of the source origins of the new law of his newly condensed astral soul into it.

He was at the transcendent-level the moment he entered the world overlord realm, these major characters naturally knew what this meant. This meant that Qin Wentian might have directly comprehended an extraordinary world heart first before gaining insights into his innate heavenheart mandate. This meant that the fact he comprehended so many different kinds heavenheart mandates was actually not a waste of time. He must have referenced them in order to manifest his extraordinary world heart.

Yue Changkong who has occupied one of the constellation seas suddenly froze as he stared into the distance. Earlier, he felt a hint of familiar energy. That was time-attributed energy. At their current levels of cultivation, their senses were naturally extremely sharp. There should be no mistake.

At the moment when the time energy descended from the sky, Yue Changkong couldn’t help but to think of a thing. After all, he was the only one who knew that the sentence spoken by the Time King earlier, wasn’t referring to him. Right now, everyone thought he was the inheritor and they weren’t curious any more. But he knew clearly that he was a fake. He was the one who wanted to know the most about the identity of the person the Time King was waiting for. If not, he would always feel a threat, as though someone was staring at him in the shadows. Such a feeling was extremely uncomfortable. That person should be mocking him in the dark, right? He also didn’t know why that person didn’t expose him. To him, the identity of this unknown person was a time bomb.

“What’s wrong?” Somebody asked when they noticed the strange expression of a major character’s face.

“Nothing much, it’s just that the young world overlord who had displayed thirteen heavenheart mandates earlier, just condensed an astral soul.” That major character replied in a low voice.

“What? Isn’t he already a transcendent-level world overlord before this? He only condensed his eighth astral soul now?” A shocked look appeared on the face of someone.

“Mhm, seems like his talent is truly extraordinary.” That major character nodded. Many people crowded around in discussion and soon, this matter circulated through the crowd.

In the direction of the Eastern Royal Immortal Realms, a major character of the Donghuang Clan spoke to Donghuang Ying, “Your judgement isn’t bad. That Qingcheng Realmlord only condensed his eighth astral soul now. He will surely have extraordinary accomplishments in the future and might have a position at the peak of the Mystic Region.”

Given how vast the Mystic Region is, a position at the peak meant that Qin Wentian would become someone who could truly call the wind and summon the rain. This evaluation was already extremely high.

“That’s only natural.” Donghuang Ying smiled.

“However, compared to Yue Changkong who received the inheritance of the Time King, he is still slightly inferior. In the future, Yue Changkong has a chance to become the equal of the Sword Monarch. Do your best to maintain a good relationship with him.” That major character spoke.

“I know.” Donghuang Ying nodded. Xiao Yu, who was beside her, had a depressed look on his face. He was the same as Yue Changkong and was one of the first few people who occupied a constellation sea. However, he was eventually defeated and came back here.

Yue Changkong still stood there, glowing dazzling in his brilliance, as though his talent was unrivalled.

Not only so, out of the four people who first occupied the constellation seas, he was the only one who was ousted. Yue Changkong, Bai Qingfeng and Li Xiao were still there.

At the location Qin Wentian was in, he could sense numerous immortal senses rushing over before retreating. However right now in the air space above his residential palace, a silhouette slowly manifested. It was actually that old man who spoke out for him before from the Heavenly Dao Sacred Academy. He smiled at Qin Wentian, “I didn’t expect that you only condensed your eighth astral soul now. Given how strong the astral fluctuations are, it should be a higher-tiered astral soul, right. May I ask what law attribute does it have?”

“Replying to senior, that’s the time-attribute.” Qin Wentian replied. This wasn’t considered a secret. In the future, he would use time-attributed energy in his attacks sooner or later. Hence, he might as well admit it openly now so others wouldn’t be so suspicious in the future.

“Time. It’s a very powerful law, and the insights of this law are naturally extremely tough to comprehend. I didn’t expect you to choose time.” The old man mumbled.

Qin Wentian smiled and replied, “I heard rumors about the Godking of Time. Earlier, the Time Monument Inscription had also appeared and my heart was filled with reverence and respect upon learning that the Time King was an expert that could travel to the past and future. Hence, I also wished to comprehend the time laws.”

“No wonder you didn’t even want to spectate the fascinating fights of the convention and chose to cultivate here.” The old man smiled and shook his head. “For the positions of the four constellation lords, are you not intending to contend for one?”

“The experts in the convention are as many as the clouds. There are countless genius world overlords here. I’ll just be a spectator.” Qin Wentian has already thought things through and decided not to participate in case he drew the attention of the various peak powers. He especially wanted to avoid notice from the three hegemonic powers.

“Your personality...” The old man speechlessly shook his head. After that, his figure turned illusory and he vanished from sight.

After he left, many people came over here. Mo Qingcheng, Qing`er, Beiming Youhuang and the others came by. Many people had smiles on their faces. Qin Wentian finally condensed his eighth astral soul and it was a time-attributed one. Such astral souls were extremely rare and as for time-attributed constellations, none of them had ever encountered any within the nine heavenly layers before. Such constellations should only exists at very high heavenly layers.

“Why are you all looking at me like that for?” Qin Wentian couldn’t help but shrug when he saw the gazes of everyone.

“Wentian gege, you’ve comprehended time laws? In the future, will you be able to create a realm that’s like the Time Realm and change the flow of time? In that case, when we cultivate in there in the future, it would save us a lot of time.” Bai Qing softly laughed. Qin Wentian rolled his eyes, “I just condensed my astral soul, how can I be so powerful.”

Bai Qing giggled as she stared at her Wentian gege who was getting more and more outstanding.

“Do you all want to go around the convention to take a look? Right now the Ziwei Divine Court, Great Devil Divine Palace and Heavenly Deity Mountain are all granting opportunities for people to gain good fortune and things are very lively there. Although you guys cannot participate, I can bring you there for a look.” Qin Wentian spoke.

With him around them, there was no need to worry about something that might happen to his family and friends. The Dragon Pool Manor was fearful of Lei`er, they didn’t dare to make any reckless moves and he didn’t have any other enemies.

“Alright, I also want to go over to take a look.” The Southern Phoenix Matriarch spoke. She was very interested to see battles between transcendent-level world overlords but it’s just that it wasn’t too appropriate to take the initiative to ask Qin Wentian to bring them there. Now, Qin Wentian was climbing higher and higher away from them. She also wished to step into the world overlord realm as quickly as possible.

Quite a few people nodded their heads in agreement. Qin Wentian smiled and brought them over to the central area in the Time Realm. They found a spot near the heavenly deity mountain that was quite remote and sat there as they quietly watched.

“The Qingcheng Realmlord.” Many people stared over. They already knew that Qin Wentian was the one who just condensed his eighth astral soul for the world overlord level. Right now, many people had different looks in their eyes when they stared at him.

The eyes of those from the Dragon Pool Manor were slightly cold. The more outstanding Qin Wentian was, the more unhappy they would be.

However, Qin Wentian and his group were extremely low-profile and were merely here as spectators of the combat on the devil battle platform and constellation ocean. Regardless of world overlords of the older or younger generations, their combat was so intense that it made spectators sigh in admiration. This was especially so for the battles on the devil battle platform. The scenes there were too terrifying but then again, there would only be one battle every several days. There weren’t many

After some days passed, Ten Miles Springwind, Old Ghost and the two others came out from the Heavenly Deity Mountain. When they saw Qin Wentian and his group at that secluded spot, they went over and asked, “Are you really not participating?”

“Yup.” Qin Wentian smiled and nodded. “What about you guys? Did you all find anything good on the heavenly deity mountain?”

“There are many good stuff in there where we can comprehend and gain insights from. I do have some rewards but the rewards I gained definitely cannot be compared to one of the four positions of the constellation lords or the number one expert on the devil battle platform.” Ten Miles Springwind spoke.

“That’s only natural.”

“You guys came out.” Donghuang Ying also flew over, smiling at everyone. After that, she spoke to Qin Wentian, “Brother Qin, since the light from the constellation ocean did shine upon you, why don’t you go up there and challenge the experts occupying the seas for the position of one of the constellation lords?”

“If he is going to challenge Yue Changkong, who do you hope will win?” Ten Miles Springwind had a look of interest on his face as he stared at Donghuang Ying.

“I will be happy no matter who wins.” Donghuang Ying smiled.

“Oh?” Ten Miles Springwind’s smile grew wider as he stared at Donghuang Ying. He doubted her words very much.

“Qingcheng Realmlord.” At this moment, from the direction of one of the constellation seas, a voice drifted through the air. Qin Wentian turned his gaze over as a strange look appeared on his face. The person who called him was actually Yue Changkong.

“Before this, the Qingcheng Realmlord has displayed thirteen kinds of heavenheart mandates. And now, since the light from the constellation ocean has shone upon Brother Qin, why don’t you come over and spar a little?” Yue Changkong issued a challenge through the distance. Qin Wentian started, the look on his face grew even stranger. Yue Changkong wasn’t acquainted with him, right? He actually took the initiative to provoke him? Why was this so?

Donghuang Ying was also astonished. After that, she stared in mock anger at Yue Changkong in the air a distance away as she spoke, “Brother Qin has no intention to participate. What are you doing?”

She thought that Yue Changkong was challenging Qin Wentian because of her. If he didn’t pay attention to her, how would Yue Changkong suddenly speak up after she said those words? Clearly, their conversation was heard by Yue Changkong.

Yue Changkong did indeed pay attention here. However, the person he was paying attention to wasn’t Donghuang Ying. It was Qin Wentian instead.

Because, he knew from the conversations of the crowd that the person condensing his eighth astral soul was Qin Wentian. That astral soul was a time-attributed one, and other than that, Qin Wentian has also comprehended a total of thirteen heavenheart mandates.

In that case, for the person whom the Time King was waiting for in the future, could it be this Qingcheng Realmlord?

The possibility of this was very huge.

Naturally, only Yue Changkong alone would think like this. Everyone else thought that he, Yue Changkong, was the person the Time King was waiting for!
