Asura Mad Emperor

Such an astonishing scene would have made Ji Huo'er excitedly jump and shout things like, "Wow, what an imposing mountain, how lush the trees are, how rich the spiritual energy is!" and other such nonsense in the past.

But now, whenever she thought of how she had been mistaken by two powers of the Upper Realm as their senior, she pursed her lips, kept her gaze straight, and suppressed her true nature, without saying a word, pretending to be steady and composed, truly stifling her impulse.

On the contrary, at this moment, the two Jin Ling Saintesses couldn't help but exclaim with pursed lips, "Such terrifying vitality and spiritual energy! Who would have thought that such an extraordinary place could exist in the Lower Realm?!"

"Hmph, you haven't seen the world! You are so easily frightened by this spiritual energy, truly lacking in vision!"

Seeing the two of them like this, Ji Huo'er suddenly curled her lips as if looking at country bumpkins.

"To think you came from the Divine Realm, and yet you act so shocked and alarmed, what kind of behavior is that!"

Ji Huo'er was inherently mischievous and lively. Since she was misunderstood by them, an idea suddenly struck her, and assuming her role, she stood tall and chest out, and looked at them with a faint disdain.

She clearly had the appearance of a young girl, but the air she put on was that of an old and seasoned one, which unsettled them even more.

If it had been in the past, had anyone dared to speak to the two Jin Ling Saintesses like that, they would have retaliated with their Divine Skills in an instant.

But at this moment, they didn't dare to retort at all. A child of Jade Void Immortal, what a terrifying existence it was. To be admonished by her child was a great honor for them.

The two nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, the Fairy Senior's admonition is justified! It's our limited knowledge!"

Ji Huo'er held her head high, proud as a little phoenix, and snorted, "You two juniors may not have much insight, but your attitude is still acceptable; you're not too annoying!"

The two powerful figures from the Divine Realm, if their seals were not lifted, were indeed terrifying beings, not even a Great Emperor would be their match. To listen obediently to her now gave Ji Huo'er immense satisfaction. Discovering this new amusement, she continued to feign wisdom and preach.

Qinchuan found the situation amusing but still explained, "It's your first time in this Dao Palace Secret Realm, it's natural to be astonished at seeing this for the first time.

This Dao Palace Secret Realm is different from the Spirit Martial Secret Realm; while the Spirit Martial Great Tomb is filled with Yin Spirit evil energy, this secret realm contains the richest and most vibrant spiritual energy in the world.

The vitality and spiritual energy within this secret realm, even above the Divine Realm, cannot compare to this place.

The spiritual woods and Divine Trees atop this Divine Peak have grown to such a state only because a trace of the abundant vitality within this secret realm has leaked out!"

Qinchuan spoke in such a way that he addressed both the Jin Ling Saintesses and Ling Xian'er at the same time.

"Outside this Divine Mountain, the spiritual energy is as lush as water, most of the mountains in the Divine Realm do not compare to this. Just how terrifying the vitality within this secret realm must be, that just a trace leaking out could create such splendor," Yin Yuexuan marveled.

"Hmph, although this Lower Realm is small, it contains many mysterious places, some of which even I wouldn't dare to underestimate. Don't be so full of yourselves; be careful, or you might end up suffering," Ji Huo'er, having tasted the sweetness of being revered and respected, deeply felt what it was like and got carried away with her act, lecturing them seriously with a stern little face.

This caused the Jin Ling Saintesses to nod and bow repeatedly, very obligingly agreeing, while also shedding their arrogance.

"What is this?"

"This is the eternal reverence for the Law and the Dao!"

"Even the offspring of the Jade Void Fairy is so humble, what are we in comparison?"

Ling Xian'er felt the increasing respect from the Jin Ling Fairy, and her heart swelled with humility, not daring to say much.

Atop the divine mountain, vitality abounded, greenery filled the sky, and cranes soared through the clouds, presenting a serene and harmonious scene.

At the summit of the divine mountain, a green aurora continuously twinkled from within the divine peak, and within that aurora, terrifying life breaths shot straight into the heavens.

When Qinchuan caught sight of it, he immediately understood, recognizing it as the divine light emitted by the spiritual treasures within the secret realm.

This was akin to the aura of the World Crystal Core he had discovered behind the bronze doors in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb; however, the divine radiance he had seen that day within the Spirit Martial Great Tomb was of a gray hue, while in the Dao Palace Secret Realm, it was green.

The crowd arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Although there was still three days until the secret realm opened, the base of the mountain was already crowded with talented cultivators. After the spiritual treasure's aura flickered in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, the secret realm had not opened at a set time but rather automatically at noon each day.

Having taken the experience from the Spirit Martial Great Tomb as a lesson, these individuals, though they'd missed the last opening date of the secret realm, had still arrived early, hoping to see if the secret realm would open ahead of schedule.

They gathered in small groups, each cautious of the other. It seemed clear that factions had been established, and once inside the secret realm, conflict would be inevitable.

Upon seeing Qinchuan and the others, faces showed varying degrees of wariness.

Just as Qinchuan's group arrived, a figure stepped forward from the crowd, calling out cheerfully, "Ha-ha, isn't this the Jin Ling Saintess and the Silver Clan's Young Master? I would never have thought that both families, while competing in public, would actually come together in private!"

The man was dressed in ordinary bluish-gray robes, standing there without a trace of aura, calm and undisturbed like a still well, with the Qi around him becoming ethereal, blending completely with his surroundings.

He walked forth step by step, as though moving through the river of time, each step accompanied by a sensation of time faltering.

"Mo Wentian, you... you're actually here too!" Yin Yuexuan, upon seeing the man, had a sudden change in expression.

The Jin Ling Saintess also appeared guarded as if she was quite fearful of this person.

Simultaneously, Qinchuan, upon laying eyes on the man, felt Emperor Soul in his sea of consciousness abruptly pulse with vibration, and a peculiar feeling suddenly welled up within him.

Qinchuan raised his eyebrows, "This Mo Wentian is not simple!"

Qinchuan thought to himself while his eyes twinkled, and a profound and tranquil force of causality surged from his Innate Pupils, a brilliant gleam bursting forth, probing towards Mo Wentian.

"Hm? Such terrifying power of causality! It actually pertains to me indeed!"

Qinchuan's complexion shifted slightly, his observations confirming his conjecture that the young man known as Mo Wentian was enveloped in causality deeply related to him.

Upon contemplating in his mind, Qinchuan was sure that in the Divine Realm, there was no prominent clan surnamed Mo, and in his own past eight lives, he hadn't been involved in any significant conflict with a person bearing the Mo surname.

Finally, Qinchuan turned to ask the Jin Ling Saintess, "Who is this Mo Wentian?"

"Elder, since you have resided in the Lower Realm for a long time, you may not be aware of this Mo Wentian. This person has quite a reputation in the Divine Realm," whispered the Jin Ling Saintess.
