Asura Mad Emperor

"Congratulations on awakening your Innate Vein!"

Several huge characters were clearly imprinted in Qinchuan's Divine Sense, exuding an overwhelming divine might that even gave him a sense of oppression.

At this moment, Qinchuan couldn't help but feel his killing intent surge.

Nine Lives Reincarnation, Asura Divine Soul, and cultivating the Innate Body were his greatest secrets. He had hidden them deep within for millions of years, never known to outsiders, and now they were exposed by the other party in a single sentence.

What was even more terrifying was that he still didn't know who the other party was.

That feeling was as if something hidden was always peeking at him, with every move he made falling into the other's field of vision.

In his ninth reincarnation, it seemed that more and more uncontrollable forces were appearing. From the beginning, when Qinchuan discovered the self-repair of the Heavenly Dao, to the abnormalities of Divine Severing Cliff in the Refining Spirit Valley, then to the entities from the Upper Realm frequently meddling in the Lower Realm and beginning to lay out their plans, and recently, the mysterious altar he found in the Heavenly Demon Forest, as well as this soul stone that revealed his divine fate.

All these events seemed unrelated, yet Qinchuan had a vague feeling that each incident was intricately connected.

"Who are you?"

Qinchuan quickly recovered, and since the other party was unwilling to show themselves, he had no way of dealing with them.

If the other party wanted to deal with him, there were numerous ways to do so, rather than simply sending two disciples from the Shadow Hall to assassinate him.

This time, however, the soul stone didn't respond to him, instead, its appearance suddenly began to change.

The soul stone, which looked like a piece of beautiful, lustrous jade, had its inner green color gradually transform into a misty vapor, drifting through heaven and earth and dissipating into nothingness.

By the time the jade green color had completely vanished, the soul stone ultimately turned into a crystal clear, perfect piece of jade. Despite its smoothness and flawlessness, it had no special aura inside, clearly just an ordinary piece of jade.

"Strange, why does this jade seem so familiar?"

Qinchuan examined the beautiful jade that had transformed from the soul stone and murmured to himself.

This jade was just an ordinary kind commonly found on the Divine Wilderness Continent, which might be used for decoration and treasured by families without cultivation levels.

But in the world of cultivation, this object was a piece of trash, not even as good as Mysterious Crystal, something that cultivators and martial artists wouldn't even stoop to pick up off the roadside.

Yet at this moment, Qinchuan had a deja vu feeling, as if he had a bond with it, making him feel strongly that he had a significant connection with this piece of jade.

However, despite his Soul caressing it, and even with the radiance of the Innate Pupils shining upon it, he ultimately could not discern where this bond came from.

Shaking his head, he decided to keep the piece of jade, perhaps he would remember something about it later.

Besides, there was nothing else of value in Mo Ying's storage ring.

"The other party is... from Shadow Hall? They dared to cause trouble in Tianqing City, completely disregarding the Tianyuan Royal Family."

After leaving the room, it was only then that Li Zhi cautiously asked behind him in a probing tone.

In fact, Li Zhi had already known the answer. Who would have the audacity to cause trouble in Tianqing City and even dare to brazenly attempt an assassination in the Qin Residence, which was publicly a property of the Royal Family, if not for those money-grubbing desperados from Shadow Hall? Ordinary people would not dare to do so.

Most importantly, Li Zhi had just obtained a movement technique, which had confirmed to him that the assailants were indeed assassins from the Shadow Hall.

His question was really about asking Qinchuan whether or not the Imperial Family should step in and suppress Shadow Hall.

Shadow Hall, though troublesome to deal with, and with its headquarters in the ancient kingdom of Great Yan's Flying Swallow City, even if Tianyuan Nation wanted to dispatch cultivators on a large scale to subjugate it, this would inevitably lead to a backlash from the Great Yan Royal Family.

However, this organization was like a cancerous tumor; even the Great Yan Royal Family had a difficult relationship with it. Thus, Li Zhi could afford to pay some price to ask the Great Yan Royal Family to join forces against it.

Earlier, Qinchuan had called the Eldest Prince for this very reason, originally intending for him to start dealing with Shadow Hall.

But now it seemed that Shadow Hall was not the true mastermind; behind it lurked an even greater enemy.

At this moment, he shook his head and spoke slowly.

"Shadow Hall is not an urgent matter for the moment, the other side will not send assassins again so soon. Your task now is to quickly grasp the situation in the court and smooth out the obstacles within Tianyuan Nation."

The situation in the court Qinchuan spoke of naturally referred to the Third Prince, and the internal obstacles referred to sects like Jiuli Ghost Sect and Heavenly Sword Sect.

Li Zhi naturally understood what Qinchuan meant, bowed his head, and replied, "Thanks to the young master, Tianyuan has seized the long-disputed Mysterious Crystal Mine from the Taiyuan lineage in this competition. My prestige has soared in the court, many important ministers and military generals have begun to lean towards me, and even the emperor is overjoyed.

Additionally, the emperor's health is declining more each day, and he seems to be eager to appoint a successor. According to the eunuch Li Gonggong beside my father, it seems this matter will be settled in the next few days."

As for the many sects within Tianyuan Ancient Nation, it'll take some time..."

Speaking to this point, Li Zhi's voice gradually trailed off.

Qinchuan naturally understood his meaning.

The Jiuli Ghost Sect had a Quasi-Emperor at its helm; even though they lost ten elders in the Burning Heaven Sect that day, a camel that is thin is still bigger than a horse, and ordinary sects did not dare to provoke them.

Unless the Tianyuan Royal Family deployed a Great Emperor or gathered enough saints to form a military formation capable of contending with a Quasi-Emperor.

Speaking to this point, Qinchuan interrupted him, his tone shifting as he asked, "Have you prepared the spiritual medicine ingredients I asked you to prepare the other day?"

Li Zhi handed over a storage bag and passed it on, saying, "As you instructed, I went to the national treasury and bought a large amount of these medicine ingredients from the spiritual medicine shops around the country. But given the limited time, I've only managed to gather materials for two hundred Great Dao Pills."

The bag contained materials for refining Great Dao Pills. Although the materials were not exceedingly rare, they were also not very common. For Li Zhi to collect two hundred sets in just a few days was remarkable.@@novelbin@@

But when Qinchuan took the storage bag, he shook it, and then frowned, saying, "Two hundred is a bit too few."

He had already decided to head to the Spirit Martial Great Tomb in a few days. That place was full of unknowns, and it was uncertain how long it would take to return. These mere two hundred pills were just a drop in the bucket for the first batch of cultivators.

Li Zhi was immediately embarrassed.

Qinchuan changed the subject, suddenly asking, "What about Dongfang Zhen?"

Li Zhi's eyes flashed with admiration, and he replied with respect, "It happened exactly as Young Master Qin said, Dongfang Zhen is suspected of plotting to assassinate the Taiyuan Eldest Prince and is now being escorted back to the country." Li Zhi sighed deeply and shook his head, "Fu Xi was killed, and that's a grave crime. Even though he possesses the Ming Wang Body, I fear no one would dare to protect him. It's truly regrettable."

After a moment, he shifted the topic, saying, "By the way, Elder Chen has already gone to the Heavenly Demon Forest, acting according to your instructions. We might even have some news today."

By this time, Qinchuan had already pocketed the storage bag with the two hundred Great Dao Pills and nodded his head calmly, saying, "When he returns, have him come to the Qin Residence immediately."

Li Zhi replied, "Rest assured, Young Master Qin, I've already instructed Elder Chen to come directly to you after he is out."

No sooner had Li Zhi finished speaking than an exuberant voice came from outside the Qin Residence.

"Chen Baidao requests an audience with Young Master Qin!"
