Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 1023: Little Rascal Showing Its Might

Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire

In the early hours of the morning, the Bai Clan was extremely quiet. The residence was filled with people busy with their cultivation.

In the courtyard Qin Wentian was in, he was currently flipping through ancient scrolls. His attention was completely focused on them.

Footsteps rang out. Mo Qingcheng slowly walked over. Qin Wentian turned to glance at her with a gentle smile on his face. A faint blush tinged Mo Qingcheng's face; her skin was as light as water, her features flawless.

"What are you looking at?" Walking to Qin Wentian's side, Mo Qingcheng stared at the ancient scroll he was currently reading.

"Formation arts. Although I'm somewhat proficient in divine inscriptions, immortal formations are too just too profound. I need to inscribe an immortal-ranked grand formation here in the Bai Clan just to prepare for the worst," Qin Wentian replied.

"Mhm." Mo Qingcheng nodded lightly. "Go ahead. I won't disturb you then."

After that, she stood quietly at Qin Wentian's side. Qin Wentian smiled and continued to read up on formations.

After a period of time, a snowy-white Little Rascal ran over to them and jumped into Mo Qingcheng's arms. He stared at Qin Wentian. "After seeing Qingcheng again, you no longer care about this baobao."

"Are you a female?" Qin Wentian laughed, "Anyway, I'm creating a chance for you and Purgatory to spend some quality time together. Isn't that great?"

"Ai… little Purgatory is too fierce." Little Rascal shook his head. Upon seeing this scene, Qin Wentian rapped Little Rascal on his head. "Stop being so rascally, aren't you still in your stage of childhood? You can't even take on a human form, so what thoughts are running through your mind?"

"Well, this baobao is an ancient demonic beast king after all." Little Rascal proudly declared as he inclined his head. He acted like he was the first creation under the heavens, and Mo Qingcheng felt amused at his manner.

"Oh yeah, Wentian, why haven't we slaughtered those immortals from the Star River Association? My immortal sense only caught seven immortal foundation experts. The three of us should be enough to completely dominate them," Little Rascal said.

"It won't be so simple. The Star River Association were daring enough to be so arrogant, so they must have some backing in the immortal realms. But when I returned, they actually laid down the flag and stilled the drums, so could it be that they fear me? It's highly likely that they're planning something or waiting for more immortals to arrive here. Since they want to wait, we shall wait together with them." A cold gleam of light flickered in Qin Wentian's eyes.

"I wonder when the Battle Sword Sect will arrive at the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect?" Little Rascal murmured before he soared into the air and transformed into a golden-winged roc once more. "The Star River Association is too arrogant—they even dared to bully Qingcheng. I'm going to teach them a lesson."

Without waiting for Qin Wentian's reply, Little Rascal vanished with a fierce gust of wind.

"Little Rascal…" Mo Qingcheng called out. Qin Wentian smiled at her, "Don't worry. Little Rascal is extremely intelligent, so he won't bite off more than he can chew."

"But he is still so young…" Mo Qingcheng protested quietly.

"Have you ever seen him at a disadvantage?" Qin Wentian smiled. Mo Qingcheng then thought back to the times Little Rascal kept taking advantage of beautiful women. She glared at Qin Wentian. "Didn't he learn that from you?"

"…I'm innocent." Qin Wentian had a face full of blacklines.

"Hmph." Mo Qingcheng smiled.

"Since, I'm already being thought of in this way, I might as well make it into a reality." He quickly sweeped her into his arms, and his hands started roaming her body suggestively.

"Naughty egg, you dare…?" Mo Qingcheng twisted her body away, her laughter ringing through the courtyard.

...

In the Star River Association headquarters located in the Royal Sacred Region, numerous majestic and towering buildings could be seen.

Outside the Star River Association, countless silhouettes stood in wait. All of them were staring at the majestic buildings in admiration. This was the current hegemon of this world.

However, there were rumors saying that Qin Wentian had already returned and had led a slaughter in the Medicine Sovereign Valley, one powerful enough to kill immortals.

The genius who headed to the immortal realms more than a decade ago had returned. His current form was even more powerful compared to the previous Sacred Emperor. However, no matter how much more powerful Qin Wentian had become, it was definitely impossible for him to win against the Star River Association.

—rumble!— At this moment, a fearsome demonic might suddenly gushed forth from the air. Everyone inclined their heads, only to see auspicious clouds gusting past a saint beast fledgling in the air.

"Oh my god, isn't that a saint beast? A kirin!"

"How impressive, it's actually a real kirin. When auspicious clouds appear, a saint beast will descend. Did this saint beast appear because of the Star River Association?"

Everyone's gazes were fixated on the kirin cub in the air, and they sighed admiringly in their hearts.

~swish swish swish~

From the interior of the Star River Association, several figures shot out with great speed, appearing before the kirin cub as their eyes gleamed with sharpness.

This was a baby kirin—its aura wasn't that powerful but it was still filled with majestic magnificence.

"To think that this particle world would actually have a kirin here." The immortals from the Star River Association had covetous looks of greed in their eyes. Naturally, they were well aware of the price a saint beast kirin cub could fetch them. It would be a supreme Greater Demon once it grew up, so even if they added up their entire net worth, the price of such a saint cub far surpassed their own.

—bzz— The kirin cub continued on its way—it was actually flying towards the Star River Association. The experts from the Star River Association didn't try to stop it. They glanced at each other and followed it from behind. Very soon, the kirin cub entered the depths of the Star River Association's headquarters, where it turned everything topsy-turvy in its hunt for good things to eat, like heavenly nectar and rare medicinal pills. It even grabbed at all the treasures it could find. It seemed extremely willful.

"Let it do what it wants." Many of the experts wanted to stop it, but one of the immortals held them back and allowed the kirin cub free reign.

That kirin cub even found several flasks of good wine and gulped them up. After that, it seemed a little drowsy, and its steps had become unsteady. When the immortals saw this, all of them couldn't help but laugh.

"A kirin even knows how to drink?"

"That's an immortal brew, all my wine is gone!" One of the immortals felt his heart aching.

"Stop feeling heartache, and allow this little ancestor to be happy," admonished an immortal, referring to the kirin cub. And finally, after it was done foraging, it laid down comfortably on the ground, enjoying the warmth of the sun. Several immortals slowly approached, taking note of the kirin cub's reaction. As they drew closer, they realized that the kirin cub showed no signs of unwillingness and it was allowing them to approach it. After that, they stopped at a distance of just a foot away, and stretched out their hands to stroke the kirin cub. The scales on the kirin cub were as solid as a piece of armor. It exuded an imposing might, causing them to sigh in admiration. A saint beast was a saint beast indeed.

The kirin cub seemed to enjoy all this attention. It turned over its body, causing everyone to laugh at its antics. One of the immortals then asked, "Little kirin, are your parents still in this world?"

The kirin cub glanced at the man who spoke. It then stood up and moved closer to the man, rubbing its head against the man's head. That man laughed uproariously when he saw this, feeling exceptionally close with this kirin.

"Roar!" The kirin let out a roar and knocked him down. The person was shocked, and he instantly unleashed his immortal might. But a moment later, he saw the kirin lightly brushing against him as it walked around him in circles, and he began to laugh again.

"Big Brother, it's playing with you." Someone laughed beside him. The kirin turned around and knocked down the person who spoke, regarding him with curiosity. It gently brushed against him and circled around him as well. The group of immortals all had smiles on their faces when they saw the kirin cub's amicable nature. They retracted their immortal might and just like that, the group of immortals were playing happily with the kirin cub, all while planning silently in their hearts on how to possess the kirin cub alone. Nobody wanted to share it with the others.

At this moment, the kirin cub bowled over the two immortal foundation experts once again onto the ground as its paws swatted about playfully.

But at this very moment, sharp claws suddenly extended outwards, exuding a terrifying golden light and abruptly ripped through their flesh.

~ARGH ARGH~ Twin screams of agony shook the entire space. The kirin cub quickly transformed into a desolate beast and soared up into the sky, radiating a fearsome and powerful aura. How could it be a baby kirin cub?

"Big Brother!" The other immortals all had expressions of shock on their faces. The sudden scene had caught them all unaware, and they barely had time to react. The immortal foundations of those two were already shattered.

"VILE BEAST!" They stared the kirin in the air, only to hear the kirin laughing. "A bunch of retards! So stupid! Byeee~"

After speaking, Little Rascal crushed his teleportation talisman which caused intense spatial energy to cover it, and he vanished from their location a moment later.

"ARGHHH! I'M A CRIPPLE NOW! KILL THAT VILE CREATURE FOR ME!"

—rumble!— Numerous icy auras swept across the heavens and earth as they moved in hot pursuit. Those in the Star River Association felt their hearts shaking at seeing their reaction. So many immortals chasing after that demonic beast, but by that point, Little Rascal was nowhere to be seen.

When Little Rascal returned to the Bai Clan, Qin Wentian was in the middle of inscribing an immortal-ranked formation.

"Little Rascal, what bad deeds have you done now?" Qin Wentian asked when he saw a smile on Little Rascal's face.

"I crippled two immortals. Those people are just too stupid! I transformed into a kirin cub and they tried to capture me," Little Rascal lazily explained. Qin Wentian rolled his eyes. "You transformed into a saint beast, so how can ordinary immortal-foundation characters withstand such temptation? Who would suspect that you were the saint beast in disguise?"

"Ai, there's no choice. Who asked for this baobao's intelligence to be so much higher than a human's?" Little Rascal sighed, exuding a loneliness that belonged to true experts who stood at the peak. Seeing him acting in such a manner really made Qin Wentian want to punch him.

"Okay, okay. I get it, you're awesome." Qin Wentian didn't know what else to say. After that, he waved his hands and shouted, "RISE!"

As the sound of his voice faded, terrifying rumbling sounds echoed as the entire Bai Manor rose up from the ground. The vast plot of land became a floating island that rested on the back of an incomparably gigantic Great Roc.

"What are you planning to do?" Little Rascal asked.

"I'm going to make a trip to the immortal realms. For everyone's safety, I want to use this formation to hide them temporarily from the prying eyes of the Star River Association," Qin Wentian explained. He had no way of determining if the Star River Association's reinforcements would come first, or if the Battle Sword Sect would reach the Thousand Transformations Immortal Sect first. Hence, it was always better to plan ahead.

"Oh," Little Rascal replied.

"Let's go." Qin Wentian's silhouette flashed as he stepped into the formation. After that, the entire Bai Manor rose further up into the air, gradually vanishing from sight. The people of Sky Harmony City all felt tumultuous waves of shock rocking their hearts when they saw this scene.

Qin Wentian was just too terrifying.

And just like that, the Bai Clan vanished from Sky Harmony City. All of Qin Wentian's close friends and comrades, as well as Mo Qingcheng's clan members, were protected within the formation. He could set his heart at ease as he headed back to the immortal realms.

In the starry space, Qin Wentian proceeded alone, heading in the direction of the Cloud Prefecture. Earlier, he had gone back to the particle world in a rush because he chanced upon the Battle Sword Sect. There was still something he hadn't completed yet. Now that he was making a short trip back to the immortal realms, he would use this time to complete that task. Qin Wentian's destination was Driftsnow City!
