Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 197 The Mysterious Forbidden Land

Qinchuan returned directly to Heaven-Piercing Peak, not concerned about how people like Wu Tian would deal with the disciples of the various sects.

One by one, the Earth Dragons affectionately surrounded Qinchuan, reluctant to leave for a long time.

Seeing this, Qinchuan smiled and, petting the Earth Dragons, said, "It's rare for all of you to gather here today, and I happen to have some spare time, so I will discuss some scriptures with you. The amount you can gain depends on your own fortune."

"Roar..."

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the Earth Dragons instantly became excited, swimming around Qinchuan even more joyously.

Qinchuan sat on the cliff of Heaven-Piercing Peak and raised his hand, coaxing the thirty-six Earth Dragons to quiet down.

The thirty-six Earth Dragons, like obedient children, immediately stopped their chanting and their tumbling, each lying down in front of Qinchuan, floating still in the air. Find adventures on empire

"The Path of the Earth Dragons..."

Qinchuan didn't waste words and began to explain the profound truths of the Dao to these thirty-six Earth Dragons.

Segments of profound and arcane truths of the Dao flowed effortlessly from Qinchuan.

As he lectured the Earth Dragons on the Dao, he caused amazing phenomena that resonated with heaven and earth.

Petal by petal of crystalline Dao flowers appeared, like beautiful lotuses blooming, floating down from the void in a scene resembling "flowers raining from the sky."

The thirty-six Earth Dragons listened silently.

Up on Heaven-Piercing Peak, the servants watching this scene were all marveled.

Zhou Xi didn't know when she had returned to Heaven-Piercing Peak. Seeing Qinchuan explaining the Dao to Earth Dragons and causing such a scene of flowers raining from the sky, she earnestly listened and couldn't help but feel enlightened, losing herself in the teachings.

Before long.

Wu Tian and other high-ranking members of the Congyun Sect, who had finished dealing with the aftermath elsewhere, also hurried to Heaven-Piercing Peak.

This time, with Qinchuan displaying divine methods, his terrifying strength had suppressed the various sects single-handedly, completely subjugating the higher-ups of the Congyun Sect like Wu Tian.

Having handled the finishing touches, the group immediately came to Heaven-Piercing Peak, hoping to thank him personally.

If it weren't for Qinchuan's intervention,

the Congyun Sect, facing a joint assault from the Taixuan Sect and other sects, would have had no chance of prevailing, and the only outcome awaiting them would have been annihilation.

However,

upon arriving at Heaven-Piercing Peak,

everyone discovered Qinchuan was lecturing!

Lecturing the thirty-six Earth Dragons!

And even causing flowers to rain from the sky and Dao Charm to cleanse, which left them all astounded.

The group dared not make a sound to disturb him and settled down to listen, only to find that the Dao Qinchuan spoke of was grand and majestic, with a strong infectious power, like the sound of the great Dao reverberating in their hearts, immersing them immediately and irretrievably.

...

Meanwhile, at that moment,

Inside the Taixuan Sect, elders who were responsible for guarding the sect gazed at the shattered soul tokens within the Soul Pagoda, their pupils shrinking and their bodies trembling.

Soul tokens, also known as life tokens, also like soul lamps, life lamps,

are a type of special artifact.

Cultivators imprint a wisp of their spirit's breath inside, thereby binding to it.

Once a cultivator falls, the soul token will shatter, and the soul lamp would be extinguished.

Almost all sects, or slightly more profound clans, would possess such soul tokens.

At this moment,

Within the Soul Pagoda of the Taixuan Sect where soul tokens were stored, the soul tokens of the current Sect Leader Ye Buwei, the Great Elder Ye Xuanyi, and several other Great Elders and ordinary elders were all shattered to pieces!

All high-ranking members of the Li Sect, from the Great Elder and the Sect Master down to the ordinary elders, had their soul tablets shattered, none spared!

And it all happened in that instant!

At the moment when these soul tablets shattered almost simultaneously, Elder Ding, who always resided in the Soul Pagoda to guard the soul tablets, was so startled that he jumped.

When he saw the owners of these shattered soul tablets, Elder Ding felt as if he had been struck by thunder, his face instantly turning as pale as death, completely bloodless.

"This is..."

"The Sect Master and Great Elder's, as well as all the other elders who went to attack Congyun Sect...their soul tablets..."

"How could this be, what happened, why did their soul tablets all shatter in an instant?!"

"Could it be that something unforeseen happened in the assault on Congyun Sect? But Congyun Sect...hasn't it already declined?"

Elder Ding's heart pounded with terror beyond belief, and he felt somewhat disoriented.

The shattering of soul tablets.

It meant that the owners of these soul tablets had all fallen!

This was a catastrophe of the highest order!

He hastily picked up the shattered soul tablets and hurriedly left the Soul Pagoda to find Zhou Yuanyi who had stayed behind to guard the Sect.

When Zhou Yuanyi, who had stayed behind, learned that the soul tablets of Ye Xuanyi, Ye Buwei, and others were all shattered, he too was so shocked that he nearly lost his senses.

"A great disaster has occurred..."

He broke out in a cold sweat, "Quick, to the forbidden area!"

"All high-ranking members of the Sect have their soul tablets shattered, this concerns the very survival of Taixuan Sect, rush to the forbidden area immediately, to beseech the Ancestral Master!"

Saying so, Zhou Yuanyi immediately took Elder Ding and sped to the forbidden land of Taixuan Sect.

At this moment, Zhou Yuanyi's heart was in turmoil, waves of shock and confusion impossible to calm, his mind a tangled mess, unable to comprehend why such a thing had happened.

Congyun Sect had already been in decline for so many years, nearly pushed out of the ranks of the six Superior Sects of Shanhe County.

There shouldn't have been such an accident when their Taixuan Sect went to attack Congyun Sect.

Especially since he had already received news that the Li Mountain Sword Sect, Taiyan Sword Sect, Red Daen Gate, and the Five Elements Sect, along with several other major Sects, had also rushed to Congyun Sect.

All Sects pressuring Congyun Sect, for Congyun Sect was merely fish on the chopping block.

But now, the result was that all high-ranking members of Taixuan Sect, all their soul tablets had shattered!

His heart raced with dread as he and Elder Ding stepped into the forbidden land of Taixuan Sect.

"Great Elder of Taixuan Sect, Zhou Yuanyi has urgent matters to report to the Ancestral Master!"

As soon as the two entered the forbidden area, a terrifying Qi immediately oppressed them, forcing Zhou Yuanyi to drop to the ground in submission.

In the depths of the forbidden area.

An old man with white hair slowly opened his eyes.

Those eyes, deep as the starry universe, seemed to harbor the rise and fall of the sun and the moon; a flash of intense divine light burst forth as his eyes opened and closed, shining upon Zhou Yuanyi.

His body emanated bursts of sword energy that swirled endlessly around him.

Rising to his feet, he reined in the Qi and sword energy from his body, and walked towards the exterior of the forbidden area; with each step his figure flickered and, in just a few flashes, he appeared in front of Zhou Yuanyi.

"Ancestral Master..."

Zhou Yuanyi bowed again.

The old man looked up at the sky above Taixuan Sect, his profound eyes seemingly piercing through everything.

"Within a single day, the destiny of Taixuan Sect has declined by seventy percent..."

Ye Xuanji reached out and grabbed a wisp of invisible calamitous Qi which materialized, turning into a strand of gray and black Qi: "Calamity overshadows, gathering without dispersing, what have you done that has angered heaven and men?!"

He extinguished the calamity in his palm and slowly said.
