Asura Mad Emperor

The next day.

Qinchuan led Qin Xiaoyu along with the Great Elder to the Holy Pond of the Congyun Sect.

Around the Holy Pond of the Congyun Sect, various formations and prohibitions had been set.

In the Holy Pond, there were thirty-six types of Gathering Spirit formations, as well as various ancient Daoist formations.

Cultivating in the Holy Pond not only doubled one's efforts but also allowed one to comfortably awaken the special physique within.

However, to stimulate the function of the Holy Pond, one needed to consume a variety of heavenly treasures and materials.

This time, Qinchuan had brought many heavenly treasures and materials from the Myriad Spirit Garden, sufficient to maintain the operation of the Holy Pond.

Qinchuan tossed all kinds of heavenly treasures and materials into the Holy Pond, activating its various formations, making the Holy Pond operate normally.

The boundless spiritual energy and essence qi contained within those heavenly treasures and materials were quickly refined by the Holy Pond, immediately filling the entire pond.

This caused the Holy Pond to overflow with spiritual mist, highly concentrated, and even condensed into droplets of milky white spiritual liquid, gathering in the center of the Holy Pond.

"Xiaoyu."

Qinchuan called out to Qin Xiaoyu, gesturing for her to enter the Holy Pond.

"Brother, does that mean if Xiaoyu enters the Holy Pond, she can awaken the special physique you mentioned and become a strong person?"

Qin Xiaoyu turned to look at Qinchuan and asked.

Qinchuan smiled and nodded, stroking Qin Xiaoyu's cheek as he spoke, "The process of awakening the physique might be somewhat painful, but as long as Xiaoyu can endure this pain, she will surely complete the awakening and become a strong person. Can Xiaoyu bear the pain?"

Qin Xiaoyu's gaze suddenly firmed up, "Brother, Xiaoyu isn't afraid of the pain. Xiaoyu will definitely not let Brother down. Xiaoyu wants to become strong so she can protect Brother in the future."

After speaking, Qin Xiaoyu stepped into the Holy Pond and sat down in the middle of it.

The Earth Dragon Second rolled over.

"Guard Xiaoyu well."

Qinchuan ordered Second.

The Earth Dragon Second silently acknowledged the order and submerged underground, circling around the Holy Pond.

Qinchuan did not stay to watch over her; awakening the Myriad Laws Treasure Body would take a considerable amount of time. With Second guarding, there would be no danger for Qin Xiaoyu.

"What special physique could this little girl have that requires the Holy Pond for awakening?"

After leaving the Holy Pond, Wu Tian and the elders were all surprised and couldn't help but ask.

Even Zhou Xi couldn't help but look curiously at Qinchuan.

Qinchuan glanced at them and said lightly, "It's not a secret that cannot be told."

As he walked toward the distance, he continued speaking, "Have you ever heard of a constitution in this world called the 'Myriad Laws Treasure Body'?"

"Myriad Laws Treasure Body?"

Everyone furrowed their brows, showed a pensive expression, then looked at each other and shook their heads.

"We've never heard of it; could the Myriad Laws Treasure Body be like the Taiyin Treasure Body, another Treasured Body?"

The elders exclaimed in surprise.

"Treasured Body?"

Qinchuan scoffed, "The Myriad Laws Treasure Body, although it carries the word 'Treasured Body', is not one. What you call a Treasured Body is not worthy of being mentioned in the same breath."

The crowd was immediately shocked and incredulous, "If even a Treasured Body is not worthy of comparison, could this be some kind of supreme physique?"

"No wonder we have never heard of this physique. Supreme physiques are rare in the world, and looking across Shanhe County, it has been thousands, nearly tens of thousands of years since a supreme physique has appeared."

Qinchuan shook his head, "A supreme physique is also not worthy of comparison."

He strode forward as his faint voice carried to them, "Myriad Laws Treasure Body is unique in the world, not a supreme physique, nor a Divine Body, but a special physique second only to an Immortal Physique; if one must give it a name, it could perhaps be called a 'Pseudo-Immortal Body'."

"..."

As the sound of Qinchuan's words spread.

The elders present all halted their steps, their expressions froze, and their eyes showed an incredible hue.

"Not an Emperor Soul nor a Divine Body, but a Pseudo-Immortal Body that is only second to the legendary Immortal Physique?!"

"Does such a constitution really exist in the world?"

Wu Tian and the other elders all showed skeptical looks in their eyes.

...

"I need to enter seclusion for a period of time."

Having returned to Heaven-Piercing Peak, Qinchuan informed Zhou Xi, then entered the secret room to begin his cultivation.

This trip to the Myriad Spirit Garden had yielded him many Heavenly Treasures Materials.

Ordinary Heavenly Treasures Materials, he did not care for.

However, some of the Heavenly Treasures Materials were of great use to him.

For instance, the Jin Ling fruit.

"Refining these Jin Ling fruits should allow me to fully awaken the first strand of my Emperor Soul..."

Qinchuan muttered, looking at the Jin Ling fruit in front of him. Without further delay, he began refining them with his cultivation.

Instantly, the Jin Ling fruit transformed into strands of pure golden power, flooding into the center of Qinchuan's forehead, immediately boosting his essence, energy, and spirit, and making his consciousness exceptionally clear.

The golden power flowed into his sea of consciousness, as though it were the perfect nourishment for the soul.

In the depths of Qinchuan's sea of consciousness, the small strand of Emperor Soul that had previously awakened immediately began to devour the golden power voraciously, growing stronger as it did.

...

Meanwhile, as Qinchuan entered seclusion.

The elder who had led the group to Myriad Spirit Garden, aside from the Taixuan Sect's Tianxuan Elder and the Sunset Sect's Elder Hong, the others had gradually returned to their respective sects.

When the sects learned of what had transpired in the Myriad Spirit Garden, they were all immediately outraged.

Taixuan Sect also received the news, learning that the Supreme Elder Wu Wenxuan from the Congyun Sect had forcibly slain the Tianxuan Elder, and that Qinchuan, in the Myriad Spirit Garden, had slain all disciples from the Taixuan Sect who entered, including the Saint Heir Xiao Motian who also fell at his hand, stirring immense fury.

"Congyun Sect! Congyun Sect!!"

"A declining sect, its glory waning, how dare it oppose our Taixuan Sect?!"

"The Great Elder of Tianxuan, along with many of our Taixuan Sect's talented geniuses, have all been poisoned!"

"Originally, I was considering allowing the Congyun Sect to continue surviving for a while, but since they act so recklessly, there is no need for hesitation!"

"Pass down my order! Prepare for battle against Congyun Sect immediately!"

"Imperial Dao Sect?! I wish to see, just how much foundation this once Imperial Dao Sect still has today, to have the gall to slay my Taixuan Sect's people and provoke our Taixuan's majesty!"

Taixuan Sect's Sect Master, Ye Buwei, suddenly smashed the desk in front of him with a palm strike, stood up abruptly, his eyes shot forth a fierce light, and his intent to kill was palpable.

In the great hall, the Taixuan Sect's elders were also filled with anger over Wu Wenxuan's action of slaying the Tianxuan Elder, and Qinchuan's slaying of Xiao Motian and other Taixuan Sect disciples.

Hearing the words of Taixuan Sect's Sect Master Ye Buwei, they were instantly invigorated, having long awaited the day to assault the Congyun Sect, and now that day had finally arrived.

They had long coveted the Imperial Art and Treasured Arts of the Congyun Sect.

Not just the Taixuan Sect.

The Li Mountain Sword Sect, Five Elements Sect, Taiyan Sword Sect and other major sects of Shanhe County also made the same decision: to formally attack the Congyun Sect!

The sects' leading elders had once plotted to let the Taixuan Sect take down the Congyun Sect first and then swoop in to share the spoils.

But after learning that the younger generation of elite geniuses from their sects had also perished in the Myriad Spirit Garden, they could not sit still anymore, unable to swallow this insult, they decided to take action themselves and decisively erase the Congyun Sect.

When the Red Daen Gate learned that all the major sects were preparing to attack the Congyun Sect, they too were tempted.

Although Qinchuan had not slain any disciples of the Red Daen Gate, and Wu Wenxuan did not make a move against the Red Daen Gate's leading elder, they too had long coveted the Imperial Art and Treasured Arts of the Congyun Sect. With all the major sects united in attacking the Congyun Sect, how could the Red Daen Gate stand by and watch?

They needed to find an excuse to make a move.

That way, when the time came, the Red Daen Gate would have a reason to dispute or share the Imperial Art and Treasured Arts of the Congyun Sect with the other sects.
