Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 669: Gathering of the Storm



"Yue Chan… how is she doing?"

Qinchuan asked in a deep voice.

The two pieces of Sacred Medicine in Qinghui Holy Maiden's hands were those Yue Chan had sought for Qinchuan, and even the Heartbreak Holy Underworld Fruit had been sought by Yue Chan for his sake.

However, barely anyone knew the real purpose behind Qinchuan's search for those Sacred Medicines.

He wanted to resurrect the woman he deeply loved.

Even so,

Yue Chan, the Immortal Maiden, still helped him look for these Sacred Medicines without hesitation, which moved Qinchuan slightly.

"Not too well," the Qinghui Holy Maiden said, shaking her damp little head, before continuing, "Eighty thousand years ago, she returned from the land of chaos with the Soul Snatching Orchid and Bone Shatter Immortal Flower, but she couldn't find the man known as Qi Sha."

Qi Sha was Qinchuan, and Qinchuan was Qi Sha.

However, the secret of Qinchuan's nine cycles of reincarnation was profound, unknown even to Yue Chan. Eighty thousand years ago, he had already gone to the land of reincarnation for his final cycle of cultivation.

"She originally intended to come to the Divine Wilderness Continent herself, but then she received news that the Nether Fire appeared in the world of the Underworld Demon Clan. She said it was something you were desperately searching for. She told me everything and asked me to come to the Divine Wilderness Continent to find you and hand over these two Sacred Medicines," the Qinghui Holy Maiden said, softly caressing with her arm as fine as jade.

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan felt even more touched, "This reckless girl, how could she brazenly intrude upon the Underworld!" Qinchuan murmured softly.

The dangers of the Underworld far surpassed those of the chaotic lands of the Divine Realm; it wasn't a place Yue Chan could forcibly enter at her level.

Moreover, Qinchuan had shed blood in the Underworld during his second life, causing countless rulers and Ghost Emperors to tremble at the mere whisper of his name. Since then, the Underworld Demon Clan had become even more vigilant against those from the Divine Realm.

"If that girl knew that you actually care about her, she would probably be very happy," the Qinghui Holy Maiden said, intently gazing at Qinchuan, seeing that his concern for Yue Chan was sincere.

The Qinghui Holy Maiden continued, "Yue Chan sent a message not long after she entered the Underworld, saying that Devil Mountain was about to open, and that there would be a Heartbreak Holy Underworld Fruit within. She then asked me to go to Devil Mountain to look for this sacred fruit."

At this point, the Qinghui Holy Maiden pouted her lips, "Eighty thousand years ago, she told me that Devil Mountain was about to open. I didn't expect that it would truly begin to open only eighty thousand years later. Yue Chan is just unreliable."

As for how the Qinghui Holy Maiden learned that Devil Mountain was about to open, Qinchuan had guessed that it was communicated by Yue Chan from the Underworld, which was not too surprising.

At the same time, Qinchuan also understood that she was the one who had spread the news during this time that Devil Mountain was about to open.

The Qinghui Holy Maiden wanted to find a Supreme Treasure in the Devil Mountain, and it would unquestionably be very difficult with her power alone.

That's why she spread the news, aiming to attract cultivators from the Divine Wilderness Continent to come, offering rewards to search for the sacred fruit.

The Qinghui Holy Maiden did not deny this.

"Has there been any recent news from Yue Chan?" Qinchuan shifted his line of questioning and continued to ask.

The Qinghui Holy Maiden shook her head again, sighing deeply, "Shortly after she entered the Underworld eighty thousand years ago, she sent word that Devil Mountain was about to open. But after that, there was no news from her again."

Qinchuan fell silent for a moment. The Underworld was the world of the Ghost Race, inherently cruel and constantly immersed in slaughter. With Yue Chan missing for a full eighty thousand years, the prospects were grim.

However, he currently had no other options at his disposal and was unable to enter the Underworld at this stage.

"Should there be any news of Yue Chan in the future, I hope the Immortal Maiden will inform me at once."

After saying that, Qinchuan left the room.

```

"There are still quite a few vacant rooms in this Immortal Mansion, if Young Master Qin doesn't mind, you may stay here for a few days and wait to head to Devil Mountain together when it opens."

Qinghui Holy Maiden spoke so from behind.

Qinchuan first went to the treasury to collect the Soul-Stealing Orchid and the Bone-Crushing Immortal Flower. Originally, he had thought of exchanging something for them from Qinghui Holy Maiden, but now he had acquired them without expending any effort.

Of course, all this was thanks to Yue Chan.

In the end, Qinchuan and the others settled down in the mansion.

In the following days, Qinchuan stayed within the mansion, occasionally devoting himself to quiet cultivation, while also teaching Divine Skills to Ji Huo'er and others.

At the same time, he also asked Qinghui Holy Maiden for some information about the Divine Wilderness Continent and the Upper Realm from the past tens of thousands of years.

However, the Qinghui Holy Maiden had been living in the Lower Realm for eighty thousand years and knew little about the affairs of the Upper Realm, so Qinchuan didn't receive any useful information.

Outside, powerful Great Emperors continued to arrive relentlessly on the outskirts of Fengdu City.

The news of Devil Mountain's opening had not only spread throughout Nanchi Continent but had also started to spread to the other three continents, with cultivators and Great Emperors from Western Gourd Continent having already arrived.

Meanwhile, by offering ten Heavenly Treasures Materials and ten Divine Artifacts as rewards, the Qinghui Holy Maiden caused quite a stir in pursuit of information on the Heartbreak Holy Underworld Fruit.

Countless Great Emperors were rubbing their hands with eagerness, waiting for Devil Mountain to open, ready to stir up a great battle.

Besides this, several other pieces of news also caused quite a stir in Fengdu City.

The first piece of news was that Tianyuan Nation had conquered Spirit Dragon Holy Land and subjugated the three major Sects from the Heavenly Mountain Domain, including the Nine Sects of Xuanhuang and the Six Doors of the Heavenly Sword.

As an empire from Dongju Continent, Tianyuan Nation had crossed the Ocean to subjugate Sects from a Great Domain.

This instilled a sense of crisis in Sects from the neighboring Great Domains around the Heavenly Mountain Domain, and the alliance against Tianyuan Nation now attracted a few more powerful Great Emperors.

The second piece of news was about the sudden demise of a powerful figure named Bai Yunke within Fengdu City.

While the death of cultivators was a common occurrence, Bai Yunke was a Great Emperor.

What's more, his death was shrouded in mystery; one morning, his body was found beneath the city walls by a cultivator who noticed something amiss.

Great Emperors stood at the pinnacle of this world and, theoretically, wouldn't die so quietly and without resistance unless they entered someone's Space Artifact by mistake. Even in danger, they could burn their Essence Blood to persist for quite some time.

Of course, with hundreds of Great Emperors gathered in Fengdu City, the silent demise of one was not massive news. What really caught everyone's attention was that Bai Yunke had an elder brother who appeared out of nowhere, named Bai Yunran.

Bai Yunran spread the word that he would exchange a Divine Artifact for information on the killer of Bai Yunke.

With another Divine Artifact coming to light, many Great Emperors were instantly ignited with passion.

Before long, it was recognized by some cultivators that the deceased Bai Yunke had a conflict with a youth days ago, and it seemed that the youth had even injured him at the time.

This information quickly caught the attention of Bai Yunran, who began searching the city for the youth.

"Young Master, that old man who plotted against you has died. Now an old Taoist is looking for you everywhere outside!"

At this moment, Qinchuan also received news from Li Kaitian.

Bai Yunke was indeed the disciple from Tianji Sect.

"He's dead?" Qinchuan was also taken aback, not expecting a disciple of Tianji Sect to fall here.
