Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 204 Rituals Must Not Be Abandoned

"Rise, now that you have chosen to follow me, stay close by my side from now on. As for the backlash of destiny and fate you suffered because of the Taixuan Sect, there is no need to worry. From the moment you swore to follow me, the backlash of that destiny has already been severed."

Qinchuan looked at Ye Xuanji and lifted his hand, speaking in a calm tone.

The backlash of destiny Ye Xuanji endured was due to the causality of the Taixuan Sect's Sect Leader leading an assault on the Congyun Sect.

Now, having sworn to follow Qinchuan and become one of his followers, it was the same as joining the ranks of the Congyun Sect. Naturally, the backlash of destiny no longer existed.

Together with the Taixuan Sect being merged into the Congyun Sect, the air of calamity that had been born was also dissipated, to be nourished by the destiny of the Congyun Sect.

Only then did Ye Xuanji stand up straight; Qinchuan flicked his finger, and a golden light shot towards Ye Xuanji.

Ye Xuanji did not resist. The light orb entered his forehead and turned into a series of complex characters, arranging themselves into a secret technique.

It was the Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation, the first calculation of the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets!

The Ominous Calculation!

The moment he received the Ominous Calculation of the Thirty-Six Calculations of Heavenly Secrets that Qinchuan had passed on, Ye Xuanji was so excited that he trembled, almost bursting into tears!

The Heavenly Secrets Divine Calculation was the legacy of his Ye Family!

Yet ever since the great calamity of the Ye Family in years past, this legacy had been severed!

Now, this legacy appeared once more, returning to him, a descendant of the Ye Family. Even with his high Mind Realm Cultivation, he could hardly contain his excitement at this moment.

He immediately bowed deeply to Qinchuan, his voice trembling slightly as he said, "I thank you, young master, for bestowing this technique upon me. This kindness, Ye Xuanji will never forget!"

Qinchuan waved his hand, "Go now and ponder it well. If there is anything you do not understand, you are permitted to consult me once. You may leave."

Then he looked towards Zhou Xi and said, "Arrange a residence for him."

Zhou Xi nodded and led Ye Xuanji away to his new residence.

"As for this person…"

Qinchuan's gaze then fell upon Zhou Yuanyi, who had passed out: "Loyalty is commendable. Take him away and settle him down properly."

Zhou Yuanyi had simply been overcome by intense emotion, there was no serious harm.

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Ye Xuanji bowed again and, with a wave of mana, wrapped up Zhou Yuanyi and exited with him.

Those left by Qinchuan's side, Wu Tian and various elders, could not help feeling a dryness in their throats, looking at Qinchuan as if he were a monster, their hearts filled with too much shock and bewilderment.

Yet, suppressing those emotions, everyone's hearts surged with boundless excitement and exhilaration.

Originally, sects like the Taixuan Sect, Li Mountain Sword Sect, Red Daen Gate, Taiyan Sword Sect, and Five Elements Sect had been eyeing the Congyun Sect with covetous intent, each like a sharp sword hanging over the head of the Congyun Sect, causing them great pressure and suffocation.

But now, the five major sects, pressuring the Congyun Sect, had been single-handedly broken by Qinchuan. The five swords once hanging over the head of the Congyun Sect had all been severed.

Even the founding ancestor of the Taixuan Sect had now submitted to Qinchuan, becoming one of Qinchuan's followers.

All these events, truly beyond what anyone could have guessed, too incredible to believe, also elevated Qinchuan's prestige within the Congyun Sect to its peak.

Even Wu Tian and the various elders, now had an attitude towards Qinchuan that had undergone an earth-shattering transformation from before, holding him in greater reverence.

Qinchuan swept a glance at the fervent Wu Tian and the elders, and spoke unemotionally, "Have the Supreme Elder come to see me."

If this had been in the past, faced with Qinchuan's demeanor, the high-rankings of the Congyun Sect would surely bristle with anger, scolding Qinchuan for not knowing his place, for his unbridled arrogance, daring to issue orders and summon the Supreme Elder to meet a junior!

But now, faced with Qinchuan's demeanor and words, Wu Tian and the others offered no objections whatsoever.

The elders now hold a certain reverence for Qinchuan as well.

"I'll go at once."

Elder Yan immediately responded, hurrying to invite the Supreme Elder.

After the incident where Taixuan Sect and the other four major sects attacked Congyun Sect, the Supreme Elder, who had suppressed his chronic illness and hidden dangers temporarily with Qinchuan's Nine Revolutions Foundation Pill, had his condition deteriorate after fighting fiercely against Ye Xuanyi, a Supreme Elder of Taixuan Sect.

Following the turmoil of the five major sects attacking Congyun Sect, the Supreme Elder retreated back to the prohibited area.

Soon, the Supreme Elder arrived at Heaven-Piercing Peak with Elder Yan.

At this moment, the Supreme Elder looked even older, his vitality rapidly fading, bodily functions declining, old and frail, with an air of impending twilight about him.

"My lord…"

Upon seeing Qinchuan, the Supreme Elder struggled free from Elder Yan's support and bowed deeply to Qinchuan.

Qinchuan lifted his hand, "In such a state, there's no need for such formality."

"When the lord is present, etiquette must not be discarded."

The Supreme Elder said with a wan smile.

Qinchuan shook his head and looked at Wu Wenxuan, "After the previous ordeal ended, why did you not seek me out but chose to return to the prohibited area alone?"

"My days are numbered, and I dared not trouble my lord with my decaying body."

Wu Wenxuan said weakly.

"But I have previously stated that I would rid you of your chronic illness and defy the heavens to extend your life," Qinchuan looked at Wu Wenxuan with a commanding presence, and said word by word, "Are you trying to make me break my word?"

"I wouldn't dare."

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Wu Wenxuan quickly bowed deeply.

Qinchuan glanced at him and said calmly, "I always keep my promises. I said I would save you, and so you cannot die!"

Wu Wenxuan shed tears of gratitude, trembling and kneeling before Qinchuan, his head knocking on the ground.

Wu Tian and the other elders also looked towards Qinchuan, their voices trembling with excitement, "Qinchuan, can you really rid the Supreme Elder of his chronic illness and defy the heavens to extend his life?"

Qinchuan didn't explain, but with a flip of his hand, the Heaven Devouring Divine Cauldron materialized.

Qinchuan extended his hand, and a drop of radiant and vibrant Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood flew out of the cauldron.

This drop of Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood contained terrifying life Essence Qi, and it also emitted a formidable spiritual pressure.

This was the residual spiritual pressure of the Primordial Ancestral Serpent!

This trace of pressure spread, and although it was just a small amount, it turned the complexions of all present pale, causing them to break out in cold sweat, their sea of consciousness boiling, creating tumultuous waves, as if they were about to be crushed.

Luckily, Qinchuan was present and suppressed this pressure, allowing everyone to come to no harm.

Qinchuan took out this drop of Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood and immediately began refining elixirs.

Using the Primordial Ancestral Serpent's True Blood as the main ingredient, he methodically added one herb after another into the Pill Furnace.

His alchemy technique was fast and appeared spontaneous, highly aesthetic to watch, making the wait during the alchemy process anything but dull. The entire alchemy procedure was smooth and flowing like clouds and water.

Before long, a furnace full of iridescent elixirs rose from within the cauldron.
