Asura Mad Emperor

```

As Qinchuan's Innate Pupils whirled, he scanned Ding Hao, who lay upon the warm jade bed, and his gaze finally rested on a pair of shoes at the foot of the bed. A thought struck him, and he conjectured with composure, asking, "Are these two characters 'Spirit Martial'?"

The Tian Tuo elder had already witnessed Qinchuan's prescient abilities and was no longer surprised by them, but he couldn't help but praise him upon hearing him articulate the matter so accurately.

"Young Master Qin is truly a deity of this era, to deduce what he said just from the symptoms described by this old man. Even the rebirth of the Heavenly Fate Ancestor would be no different."

"At that time, Ding Hao uttered the words 'Spirit Martial' before he fell into unconsciousness. The old man inspected it and found that it was caused by soul damage. Although I have delved slightly into the ways of the soul, I was powerless to remedy his injury. And with his soul damaged, if I rashly used the Soul-Searching Technique, I'm afraid the soul wouldn't withstand it and would dissipate before any useful information could be extracted, hence I had to seal it again and wait for Young Master's decision."

Having said this, the Tian Tuo elder paused for a moment, then continued with a questioning tone.

"As for the words 'Spirit Martial' he mentioned, the old man has pondered for several days without being able to fathom their meaning. Young Master Qin figured it out at a glance, could it be that you understand what these words 'Spirit Martial' mean?"

Qinchuan didn't answer Tian Tuo elder's question. Instead, he suddenly took steps toward the warm jade bed where Ding Hao was lying, sat down beside him, and extended a palm to cover Ding Hao's forehead.

Then.

Suddenly, a quaint and melodious aura emerged from within Qinchuan's palm and began to flow toward Ding Hao's eyes.

The Tian Tuo elder was only in the Holy's Realm, but he possessed extensive knowledge and couldn't help but exclaim, "A secret technique!"

Secret techniques differ from Mysterious Techniques and Divine Skills. Mysterious Techniques are skills practiced by martial artists, while Divine Skills are driven by mana and only cultivators above the Dao Palace Realm can cultivate them.

However, secret techniques are driven by the soul, and both martial artists and cultivators can practice them.

Most of these secret techniques were refined from the ancient cultivation techniques of the god and demon races and have largely disappeared into the river of history. Thus, secret techniques are exceedingly rare.

On the Divine Wilderness Continent, over ninety-nine percent of the saints have no access to a secret technique, and even eighty percent of them are unaware of the existence of secret techniques.

This was also why, when Qinchuan applied the Hundred Refinements Divine Art to repair Huang Tian's divine consciousness back in the day at the Burning Heaven Sect, no one knew about it except for a black-robed elder from Netherworld Hall.

Because these people simply didn't know about secret techniques.

But the Tian Tuo elder did know, and seeing Qinchuan suddenly use a secret technique was enough to shock him profoundly.

This was a secret technique after all!

Qinchuan certainly noticed the Tian Tuo elder's astonishment but simply sat calmly on the spot.

The aura of the Great Emperor's Divine Soul and secret technique simultaneously infused into Ding Hao's sea of consciousness within his palm.

While repairing Ding Hao's damaged soul, he began to explain and answer the Tian Tuo elder's earlier doubts.

"Although I haven't seen his symptoms with my own eyes, listening to your description, the damage to the soul, the disordered breath, the reversal of True Qi, and the blood-red eyes, all these symptoms could be caused by many things—limitations of cultivation techniques, going mad from absorbing too much Fire, poison, and so on.

But none of these are the real reason. It's clear from the excessive Yin Qi in his body that it's the result of a Yin Spirit invasion. Fortunately, he withdrew in time from the reach of the Yin Spirit, and the mental method he cultivates is somewhat Badao, one with a heavier Yang Energy, which has allowed him to save his life."

"Yin spirit invasion... Spirit Martial..."

The Tian Tuo elder muttered to himself, and then came to a realization, exclaiming aloud, "The Spirit Martial Great Tomb!?"

```

Yin spirits generally congregate in areas where the Yin Qi and malevolent spirits are heavy. Within the Dongju Continent, there are many subterranean secret realms, but few of them begin with 'Spirit Martial.' Previously, Tian Tuo the Elder had been mistakenly convinced that the 'Spirit Martial' Ding Hao mentioned was referring to the Spirit Martial Realm and overlooked the possibility that he could have been talking about a place name.

Now, upon being reminded by Qinchuan, he suddenly came to realization.

Qinchuan's True Qi surged within him, with the power of his Soul riding an endless tide, continuously pouring into Ding Hao's sea of consciousness to mend his damaged Soul.

Nodding, he pointed at the shoes placed in front of Ding Hao's bed and said, "There are traces of grass and earth left on the bottom of his feet, one of which is from a plant specifically known as the 'Spirit Martial Strange Flower,' native only to the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. It's not difficult to determine that he has escaped from the Spirit Martial Great Tomb. This lad is quite fortunate to have made it out alive after being possessed by a Yin spirit within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb."

Having been enlightened by Qinchuan, Tian Tuo the Elder suddenly saw the light and his admiration for Qinchuan deepened even further.

Above the various provinces of the Divine Wilderness Continent, based on the names of the different Martial Artist Realms, there are nine great tombs scattered.

They range from the Spirit Martial Great Tomb and the Dao Palace Tomb to the Netherworld Hall Tomb and all the way up to the Supreme Saint Divine Tomb.

Although referred to as tombs, these nine spots were secret realms a long time ago.

The corresponding secret realms could only be entered by Cultivators and Martial Artists who were in the respective Realms, such as the Spirit Martial Secret Realm which only practitioners in the Spirit Martial Realm could enter.

Experience tales with My Virtual Library Empire

These nine secret realms are rife with opportunities and treasures, fraught with immense dangers. Those who enter face a slim chance of survival.

However, those who manage to emerge alive invariably grow significantly stronger and will likely become a dominant force that reverberates through history.

Therefore,

Since ancient times, countless people have incessantly braved the dangers of the nine major secret realms. Numerous Cultivators and Martial Artists have perished within, and over time, countless fallen Souls have fostered innumerable Yin spirits and malevolent Qi, making them even more terrifying and dangerous than the tombs of the Great Emperors.

These secret realms thus also became known as tombs, with the Spirit Martial Secret Realm becoming the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, a sign that those who enter should be prepared to be buried there.

Qinchuan still remembers that several years ago, his biological father in this life, the previous head of the Qin Family, bravely entered the Spirit Martial Great Tomb to resolve a family crisis, never to return.

From that year on, he became determined to practice day and night, striving to reach the Spirit Martial Realm as soon as possible to search for news of his father.

Even after he awoke with the memories of nine lifetimes, he never abandoned his plan to go to the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.

Now that he knew there was a cause and effect existence within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, the time for his journey there might need to be moved up.

Moments later,

Qinchuan felt feedback from within Ding Hao's Soul and suddenly discovered that Ding Hao, who had been lying still on the warm jade bed, furrowed his brows slightly. A look of joy crossed his face, and Qinchuan promptly intensified the power of his Soul and secret technique by several degrees.

"Awaken!"

With Qinchuan's soft rebuke, a bright and dazzling light radiated from his palm. His power of the Soul reached its peak, and after a brilliant flash, Qinchuan withdrew his True Qi and secret technique.

"Ying~"

As Qinchuan retracted his Palm Force, Ding Hao, lying on the warm jade bed, made a soft noise and then slowly came to consciousness.

"Huh—"

Upon awakening, Ding Hao scanned his surroundings, and when he saw Tian Tuo the Elder not far away, he gasped and immediately knelt down, pressing his forehead to the ground and crying out in deep anguish, "Saint! Oh, Saint! I beseech you to save my wife's life!"@@novelbin@@
