Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 661: Heading to Devil Mountain

After the lecture on the Dao, Qinchuan summoned several Great Emperors from both Xuanhuang Sect and Heavenly Sword Gate, making it clear that Tianyuan Nation was a power he supported in the Divine Wilderness Continent.

These Great Emperors, each of whom had lived for at least a hundred thousand years, immediately understood the implications of Qinchuan's covert gesture.

The elder ancestor of Xuanhuang Sect, Liu Zong, was the first to speak: "Young Master Qin, rest assured, if there's anything Tianyuan Nation requires of this old man, I will spare no effort, even at the cost of my entire cultivation level," he promised.

"That would be best! Tianyuan is still at an early stage overseas. If you all can lend a hand today, the future rewards will surely be boundless," Qinchuan said.

"Having heard the Young Master expound on the Dao today is like listening to the music of immortals. Serving you is a great honor for us all!" the rest of the Great Emperor experts said one after another.

Qinchuan nodded, then eight resplendent divine artifacts appeared in his hand.

Although these divine artifacts were the most basic kind, it was rare for so many divine artifacts to be seen in the hands of one person by these Great Emperors.

Among the eight of them, only the elder ancestor of the Heavenly Sword Gate possessed a divine level Spirit Sword, while the rest wielded merely Supreme Dao Artifacts. At this moment, their hearts leapt with shock.

"News of Tianyuan Nation's arrival here will soon spread across the entire Nanchi Continent. The remaining powers of the Great Domains and sect experts will surely band together, and may even attack from the direction of Heavenly Mountain Domain. These divine artifacts are bestowed upon you to bolster your ability to defend yourselves," Qinchuan said.

"Thank you, Young Master!" The group could not hide the joy on their faces as they thanked him.

Qinchuan had always believed in a policy of combining kindness with severity when it came to leadership.

He knew that no matter how powerful a person was, their energy was finite, and he could not ensure absolute loyalty from everyone.

Even if they made vows under the Heavenly Dao, they could still pay lip service and not put forth their best efforts, and he could not possibly cast spells to command each individual.

Therefore, he needed his subordinates to follow him willingly.

"Lastly, remember this: Li Zhi and Tianyuan Nation are my mouthpieces. Since you've taken my favors, when Tianyuan Nation is in need, I do not expect you to be disobedient!" Qinchuan's final words carried the immense force of Emperor Soul Power and came with a continuous sense of threat and pressure, exploding in the ears of the audience like thunder and instantly snapping them out of their excitement.

Although they were Great Emperors who had reached the pinnacle of this world, at that moment, they felt an overwhelmingly terrifying aura emanating from Qinchuan, as if he were an ancient deity or demon, capable of crushing them at any time.

Even though they had previously felt the strength of Qinchuan's soul, they had not realized the extent of his divine power's formidable presence until now. Seeing Qinchuan suppress them with the aura of a Holy Cultivator made them fear him even more.

"We dare not!" the Great Emperors agreed respectfully.

...

As the time to meet with Wu Xin Fairy drew near, Qinchuan began to prepare for his journey to Devil Mountain.

Before leaving the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, he left the Demon Emperor's Tomb he had found in the sea along with the method to control the spirit veins, imparting it to both Li Kaitian and Ye Xuanji.

With the protection of the spirit veins, as long as they remained within the confines of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, they would be invincible.

This would prevent outside experts from other Great Domains from banding together against Tianyuan Nation, ensuring at least a strong foothold within the Spirit Dragon Holy Land.

Tianyuan Nation had reached its current stage of development with great effort from Qinchuan, and he naturally did not want Tianyuan to be expelled from Nanchi Continent as soon as they set foot there.

Qinchuan had done enough already; how Tianyuan Nation would develop in the future was up to Li Zhi and the others.

After all, he did not have much time or energy to devote to worldly struggles for supremacy.

...

Devil Mountain is an ancient land, fraught with peril, even unknown to him. Apart from Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, Qinchuan only planned to bring one more Great Emperor powerhouse with him.

Among the many Great Emperor powerhouses, his most trusted, Chi Hai and Mei Qian'er, had been dispatched to the Western Gourd Continent and the Northern Cold Continent, respectively. The emperors from the Xuanhuang Sect and Heavenly Sword Gate were naturally not within his considerations.

In the end, the only candidate left was the old ancestor of Tianyuan Nation—Li Kaitian.

Although Li Kaitian's interaction with Qinchuan had been short, he had a profound understanding of Qinchuan's capabilities and had long been convinced by him. Knowing he could accompany them, he immediately agreed with excitement.

On this day, Li Kaitian, wielding a magical treasure, turned everyone into a Divine Rainbow and rushed westward.

Devil Mountain is located in the west of the Nanchi Continent, in the Heavenly Demon Great Domain.

Within the Heavenly Demon Great Domain, most of the territory consists of sprawling primeval jungles, filled with countless poisonous insects and miasmas, lurking dangers everywhere, with even Holy Cultivators reluctant to set foot in this place.

However, in recent months, the Heavenly Demon Great Domain saw an influx of cultivators, ranging from the Meridian Opening Realm to Supreme Saint Experts, flocking in droves.

There were even sensations of Great Emperor powerhouses appearing in the vicinity of the Great Domain.

The news of Devil Mountain's impending opening had somehow been leaked.

Devil Mountain, a forbidden area for the ancient demonic tribes, once the news got out, it spread across the Nanchi Continent, with spiritual birds soaring high; within a few months, it had spread to several surrounding Great Domains.

An endless stream of cultivators headed to this place, all wanting a share of the pie when Devil Mountain opened.

Upon hearing this news, Qinchuan felt a measure of doubt in his heart.

Devil Mountain, a demon mountain existing since Ancient Times, had never been opened before, and now the news of its impending opening should be known only to him and Wu Xin Fairy, apart from the various sect powerhouses holding the keys to the mountain.

If, indeed, Devil Mountain contained significant opportunities, the first group of cultivators to enter would undoubtedly benefit the most.

So, logically, the various family sects holding the keys would guard this secret closely, never allowing it to leak.

At least, it should not be revealed so early.

But according to the news Qinchuan knew, the opening of Devil Mountain had been disseminated nearly five months prior.

In other words, just as Qinchuan had obtained the key to Devil Mountain, the news of its opening began to spread.

"Behind this, it seems someone is pushing the envelope?!"

Qinchuan, having lived nine lifetimes, keenly sensed something unusual in these events.

He then recalled that the keys to Devil Mountain, which had only been found in five pairs over hundreds of millions of years, had all appeared in the last hundred thousand years.

"This journey to Devil Mountain seems not so simple!" Qinchuan couldn't help but think to himself.

Although Devil Mountain had never been opened, an abundance of spiritual energy spilled from outside its prohibitions, nurturing the growth of numerous high-rank beasts, which attracted hunting groups to hunt the beasts.

Over time, a city began to take shape around the outskirts of Devil Mountain, known as Fengdu City.

Originally, Fengdu City thrived based on countless mercenary groups, a mundane city with no Ancient Immortal Formations, no protecting powerhouses, and even a small scale, incapable of accommodating a large number of cultivators.

Therefore, the continuous influx of cultivators soon burst the small Fengdu City at the seams.
