Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan merely smiled faintly in response to the Crimson Flame Bird's oath of loyalty, without taking it to heart.

"Even with the help of the Netherworld Holy Water, which has only awakened a trace of Vermilion Bird True Blood hidden deep within its body, I have also raised a true Vermilion Bird in past years."

After sending off the Crimson Flame Bird to cultivate on its own, Qinchuan used Netherworld Holy Water to cleanse and refine Qin Xiaoyu's foundation.

"Brother, when can I start cultivating formally? It's been so long, but I still haven't condensed any True Qi in my body. Am I too stupid?"

While Qinchuan was infusing True Qi and guiding the power of the Netherworld Holy Water to cleanse Qin Xiaoyu's foundation, she mumbled dejectedly.

More than two months ago, Qinchuan had already given her a Foundation Establishment Pill and even prepared various precious medicinal liquids for her to use during her baths.

But now, after more than two months, Qin Xiaoyu found there was still no flow of True Qi within her body and felt somewhat downhearted.

"A good blade does not hinder the work of chopping wood. What I'm doing now is using Netherworld Holy Water for the final step of your foundation establishment. Once this step is completed, I will take you to a place to fully awaken the Myriad Laws Treasure Body."

"At that time, when you begin your cultivation, you will find it much easier."

Qinchuan affectionately ruffled Qin Xiaoyu's hair as he spoke.

A moment later, when Qinchuan had finished the final step of Qin Xiaoyu's foundation establishment, night had already fallen.

Assuring Qin Xiaoyu that she could sleep peacefully, Qinchuan left her room.

Looking in the direction of the Congyun Sect, Qinchuan muttered to himself, "Congyun Sect..."

"Now that I have found the Red Scaled Dragon Serpent Essence Blood and the matters of the Qin Family have been resolved, it's time to go to the Congyun Sect to retrieve that item and awaken the Innate Pupils."

"Moreover, the Holy Pond of the Congyun Sect can awaken the Myriad Laws Treasure Body for Xiaoyu."

...

The next day.

Qinchuan called a family meeting to announce his departure.

Upon learning that Qinchuan was leaving, the Qin family, although they had anticipated it, couldn't help feeling lost and reluctant to let him go.

"The disciple ceremony of the major sects in Shanhe County is in half a month. With your departure, Master, do you plan to join one of the sects?"

After composing himself, the Third Elder asked.

"Disciple ceremony?"

Qinchuan was slightly surprised.

"Master, don't you know about this?"

Seeing Qinchuan's reaction, the various elders of the Qin Family were also somewhat astonished; they had assumed Qinchuan intended to participate in the upcoming disciple ceremony of the major sects in Shanhe County.

Unbeknownst to them, Qinchuan was completely unaware of this matter.

Qinchuan smiled, shaking his head, "Indeed, I haven't paid attention to this matter. However, my journey does involve visiting a sect in Shanhe County, the Congyun Sect."

"Master plans to go to the Congyun Sect?"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the Qin family members were notably surprised.

The Third Elder pondered and said, "Master, although the Congyun Sect is indeed one of the six Superior Sects in Shanhe County, it's not the strongest among them. With Master's talents, even the Taixuan Sect, which is at the forefront of the six major sects, could be easily entered. Why choose to join the Congyun Sect, the least of the six?"

Startled by the Third Elder's words, Qinchuan frowned and said, "What are you saying? There are six Superior Sects in Shanhe County, and the Congyun Sect ranks at the bottom among them?"

In his memory, there were no other Superior Sects in Shanhe County besides the Congyun Sect.

In years past, the Congyun Sect was one of the most prestigious sects, unparalleled across the entire Divine Wilderness Continent.

Not to mention the small Shanhe County, even the whole Tianyuan Nation didn't have any forces that could stand on equal footing with the Congyun Sect.

Yet now, this Shanhe County has suddenly seen the emergence of so many sect forces?

Putting aside the small sects and schools, even among the superior sects, there are five others besides the Congyun Sect?

And the Congyun Sect is actually at the bottom of the six great superior sects in Shanhe County?

What on earth has happened over these hundred thousand years, that the martial sects of the Tianyuan Nation have developed so rapidly and prosperously?

Even a colossus like the Congyun Sect can only be ranked at the bottom?

"It's not just that. I've heard that the Congyun Sect has been constantly suppressed by the other major sects in recent years. If this continues, I'm afraid the Congyun Sect will fall out of the ranks of the six great Superior Sects."

"If the family head truly wishes to join a sect this time, you might consider joining the Taixuan Sect. The Taixuan Sect is now widely recognized as the number one sect in Shanhe County, with countless strong members. In the recent thousand years, it has had a very distinguished reputation."

The Third Elder of the Qin Family spoke up.

"The Taixuan Sect?"

Qinchuan furrowed his brows, memories flitting through his mind, but he found no recollection of this sect.

"Where did this Taixuan Sect come from, and when was it established?"

Qinchuan asked curiously.

The Third Elder of the Qin Family replied, "Family head, the Taixuan Sect has a history of over ten thousand years. Its founding master, Ye Xuanji, possessed profound divine skills and extraordinary methods. He has a well-established reputation throughout the whole Tianyuan Nation."

"So it's a sect that was established only in the last ten thousand years? Ye Xuanji? Never heard of him. He doesn't sound very impressive."

"Wu Yong has really regressed more as he's aged. The majestic Congyun Sect has actually allowed such a lesser-known sect to stand above it."

Qinchuan shook his head, no wonder he could not find any information about the Taixuan Sect in his memory; it turned out that it was just an emerging sect that had been established in the last ten thousand years.

"Family head, you mustn't repeat such words outside; otherwise, it could lead to a major disaster falling upon you!"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the people of the Qin Family immediately showed drastic changes in their expressions, turning pale with fright.

The Taixuan Sect was the number one grand sect in Shanhe County, with a vast and powerful influence, ranking among the top sects in the entire Tianyuan Nation.

Although the Congyun Sect could only be placed at the bottom of the six great Superior Sects, it was ultimately one of the top six sects.

For the Qin Family, such a force was absolutely a towering presence.

In comparison to such superior sects, the Qin Family was as different as an ant to an elephant.

If the sort of rebellious words Qinchuan had just spoken were heard by the Taixuan Sect or the Congyun Sect, they could easily erase the Qin Family from the world with a simple stomp of their foot.

"A major disaster falling upon us?"

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan chuckled and waved his hand dismissively at the elders, "The elders are too anxious. What's a Taixuan Sect to worry about?"

"And the Congyun Sect, even if their founding ancestor came before me, he'd have to bow his head and kneel in utmost respect. It's not as terrifying as you make it out to be."

However, upon hearing this, the Qin Family members became even more frantic, stomping their feet in protest: "Family head, please don't say any more…"

What kind of existence was the founding ancestor of the Congyun Sect?

He was an Imperial Dao powerhouse!

Legend has it that he once roamed the Divine Wilderness Continent unbeaten, a figure of that caliber bowing and kneeling to you?

The members of the Qin Family felt that Qinchuan was boasting far too rashly.
