Asura Mad Emperor

"Brother! Are you alright?"

Qin Xiaoyu and Qinchuan's father, Qin Zhan, had ventured into the Spirit Martial Great Tomb early on, never to return.

Since childhood, she had depended on Qinchuan for survival and could be said to rely heavily on him.

Initially, when she heard that Qinchuan was going to enter the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, she was very frightened; her father had never returned from this secret realm, and she worried that Qinchuan would meet the same fate.

Therefore, after Qinchuan entered the Spirit Martial Secret Realm, she had been attentively following any news about the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.

Today, when she heard the news that the Spirit Martial Great Tomb was collapsing, she was utterly devastated, overcome with grief, and she rushed here at the first opportunity.

As the Spirit Martial World fell apart, so too began the collapse of Qin Xiaoyu's internal world.

However, she hadn't expected that Qinchuan would return unharmed.

Now that she had suddenly seen Qinchuan, she immediately threw herself into his arms, her tears and snot streaming down her face, crying and laughing at the same time.

"They said the Spirit Martial Great Tomb had collapsed, I thought you... I thought you..." Qin Xiaoyu sobbed inconsolably.

Qinchuan glanced at her and noticed that her progress had been astoundingly fast; she had actually stepped into the Spirit Martial Realm, and in terms of cultivation speed, she was even slightly quicker than him.

However, seeing her cry like a pear blossom bathed in rain, he sighed in his heart; after all, she was still a child of eleven.

He gently tapped her nose tip with his finger and said with a smile, "Your brother is an invincible great devil who stands shoulder to shoulder with gods; how could I die so easily?"

Qin Xiaoyu's tears turned into laughter, "Brother is not a great devil!"

In the following days, Qinchuan stayed in a guesthouse in Spirit Martial City, refining Great Dao Pills.

When Qinchuan was in Tianqing City, he had refined two hundred Great Dao Pills, all of which had already been distributed for use by the cultivators nurtured by the Eldest Prince.

With the aid of the Great Dao Pills, two cultivators had managed to break through the shackles of the Dragon Transformation Realm and ascend to the Saint Realm.

It may seem inconsequential that only two people successfully broke through to the Holy's Realm, but that was already a breakthrough rate of one percent.

Ordinarily, the chance of advancing from the Dragon Transformation Realm to the Supreme Saint Realm was one in ten thousand. Now, out of two hundred people, two had succeeded, increasing the likelihood of success by a full hundredfold.

The Eldest Prince, aware that Qinchuan would spend little time in Tianqing City in the future, had collected a large amount of materials and kept them with him.

After spending ten days and nights, Qinchuan finally refined all the materials into Great Dao Pills – a grand total of thirty thousand. If we go by the one percent success rate, these thirty thousand Great Dao Pills could produce three hundred new saints, which would lead to a qualitative leap in the military strength of the Tianyuan Nation.

Subsequently, Chen Baidao took the Great Dao Pills back to Tianqing City ahead of time, continuing the preparations for the saint cultivation plan.

Now, after his experience in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, Qinchuan felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from the darkness; he even suspected that his nine lives' reincarnation might also be controlled by that formidable dark power.

He now needed to rapidly increase his own strength and gain control over the entire Divine Wilderness Continent.

To accomplish this plan, he needed to support the Tianyuan Nation and massively produce saints.

During this period, he had also roughly learned about the developments in the outside world over the past few months.

Within the Tianyuan Nation, the Jiuli Ghost Sect had been eradicated, and the remaining small sects and factions had all pledged allegiance to the Imperial Family or the Fiery Sky Lineage.

There was news from the Fiery Sky Lineage too, suggesting that Netherworld Hall and the Jiuxiang Ancient Country were not ready to give up. After the great battle, they had again sent people to infiltrate the Burning Heaven Sect, employing both soft and hard tactics, attempting to break into the Refining Spirit Valley, but they were stopped by the ancestor of Burning Heaven.

Additionally, Dongfang Zhen had also been successfully rescued by Chen Baidao and has now arrived in Tianqing City.

He and Gongshan Wu (Chou Wu), both possessing the Immovable Vajra Body, under Qinchuan's guidance, indeed achieved late blooming success, with their strength and Realm rapidly growing.

In just a few short months, Dongfang Zhen broke through the Dao Palace Realm and successfully entered the Life Spring Realm, while for Gongshan Wu, although his Meridians had been previously damaged, was fortunately treated personally by Qinchuan. Turning misfortune into a blessing, his talent rose another level, and now he has also successfully reached the Peak of the Nine Layers of the Spirit Martial Realm.

At the same time, a major event occurred between the four Ancient Kingdoms during these few months.

Two months ago, Taiyuan Ancient Country and Jiuxiang Ancient Country formed an alliance in Han Shan, pledging mutual support. The following month, Taiyuan Ancient Country and Jiuxiang Ancient Country both declared war on Great Yan Ancient Country.

Great Yan Ancient Country sent Envoys seeking help from Tianyuan, and the two agreed to discuss forming an alliance in Spirit Martial City to jointly resist Taiyuan and Jiuxiang. Eldest Prince Li Zhi represented Tianyuan Nation in full authority at this alliance gathering, which was also the important reason for his presence here.

Qinchuan was a bit surprised upon learning this news.

The Great Yan Ancient Country was located in the far east, separated by Tianyuan Nation from the far west Taiyuan Ancient Country; they did not even share borders.

Only Tianyuan Nation and Jiuxiang Ancient Country shared borders with the other three kingdoms. If Taiyuan and Jiuxiang formed an alliance, their most direct target should have been Tianyuan Nation, not the distant Great Yan Ancient Country.

"Why would they suddenly target Great Yan Ancient Country out of the blue?"

While Qinchuan remained puzzled, suddenly, the Sound Transmission Stone within his Dao Lotus buzzed faintly.

A thought flashed through Qinchuan's mind.

This Sound Transmission Stone was originally obtained from the Forbidden Army of Great Yan Ancient Country by Ye Xuanji, who, for the sake of easy communication, left another stone with Ye Xuanji.

Following Qinchuan's instructions, Ye Xuanji went to Great Yan Ancient Country to gather information and now, presumably, he had some useful news.

Indeed.

From the other end of the Sound Transmission Stone, Ye Xuanji relayed a message that made Qinchuan's heart stir.

The Great Yan Ancient Country was secretly constructing a grand Formation in a remote area of Flying Swallow City!

Ye Xuanji did not recognize the Formation, but based on his description, Qinchuan had an epiphany.

It was a Teleportation Formation!

And not an ordinary one, but a Teleportation Formation capable of bridging heaven and earth, connecting the Great Paths of the world, also known as a central Teleportation Array.

Usually, Teleportation Formations only have fixed routes and channels. A Teleportation Formation can only reach one destination, so sometimes when one wants to go from one place to another without a direct Teleportation Formation, they may need to transfer once or even multiple times.

The central Teleportation Array is different; with such a Formation, it's possible to go to and from any Teleportation Formation.

In the Upper Realm, the Divine Court has such a Teleportation Array. The Divine Court controls a territory many times larger than the Divine Wilderness Continent by using that central Teleportation Array to connect all the places in the Upper Realm.

Qinchuan had such high confidence that Tianyuan Nation could manage the entire Divine Wilderness because he had the methods to build Teleportation Arrays and the Great Dao Pills in his hands.

Now.

Unexpectedly, the people from the Upper Realm took the initiative.

Light flickered in Qinchuan's eyes; aside from himself, only that person from the Divine Court in the Upper Realm could construct a central Teleportation Array.

"This young master is getting more and more curious. What secrets does this Divine Wilderness Continent hold that so many Upper Realm forces are rushing to it? That even the lofty Divine Court is getting involved."
