Asura Mad Emperor

As the sun set behind West Mountain, Qinchuan ceased his sermon.

Atop Heaven-Piercing Peak, whether it was those core disciples and true disciples from the Congyun Sect, or the Sect Master Wu Tian along with various elders, all appeared to be utterly intoxicated and immersed in the martial arts knowledge recounted by Qinchuan, reaping great benefits.

Quite a few even entered a state of sudden enlightenment on the spot, with the many puzzles of their past practices now unraveled and made clear.

Qinchuan did not awaken them, but watched with satisfaction as everyone gained insights, nodding in approval.

This spell of sermonizing was merely a product of his spontaneous inspiration.

After all, the Congyun Sect was once a place into which he had poured his heart and soul, yet now it had fallen to such a state. Since his return, he naturally could not ignore the decline of the Congyun Sect.

This sermon, how much they could comprehend was up to their own destinies.

He did not linger there but turned around and returned to the grand hall.

Zhou Xi followed him, her expression one of newfound understanding.

Qinchuan suggested she go digest her revelations on her own, while he himself began to meditate and cultivate.

"My current cultivation level is still too low. I must increase my cultivation as quickly as possible without affecting my foundation; otherwise, even if I awaken the Innate Pupils, I won't be able to unleash their true power."

"Moreover, with insufficient cultivation level, I won't be able to awaken other parts of the Innate Body in a short time,"

muttered Qinchuan.

The Innate Pupils, though unparalleled in strength, were currently limited by his cultivation realm, preventing him from unleashing the true power of the Innate Pupils, allowing him only the use of minor techniques.

With his understanding and insight into martial arts realms, mastering various cultivation practices and breakthrough techniques, advancing his cultivation level was hardly a difficult task for him.

However, he knew all too well that the path to becoming a strong warrior was not achieved overnight.

Even with his mastery of various breakthrough tricks, he would not compromise his foundation just for the sake of improving his cultivation, and would only seek to enhance and make breakthroughs in cultivation without shaking his foundation.

Otherwise, with a shaky foundation, future hazards were inevitable, and the path forward would become elusive.

"Given my current foundation, breaking through two realms and ascending to the Ninth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm should be quite manageable,"

Qinchuan pondered, planning to break through two more realms and elevate his cultivation to the Ninth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm before the Myriad Spirit Garden opens.

This was the limit he deduced he could safely break through based on his current foundation. Attempting to advance directly to the Meridian Opening Realm in one go could potentially lead to rapid consumption of his foundation, resulting in unstable and illusory cultivation.

After advancing to the Ninth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, he would further strengthen and consolidate his foundation before attempting to break through to the Meridian Opening Realm.

During the days Qinchuan secluded himself for cultivation,

those disciples and elders who had come to listen to his sermons gradually left Heaven-Piercing Peak and returned to their respective Spirit Peaks for secluded cultivation, each profiting immensely.

Some made bold progress in martial skill training.

Others advanced by leaps and bounds on their cultivation path.

Some broke free from long-standing chains and smoothly advanced to a higher realm.

In an instant, Qinchuan became an idol of admiration in the hearts of these disciples, gaining quite a few fervent fans.

Even Wu Tian and the other elders, who were initially indifferent to Qinchuan, now had a richer smile on their faces when they spoke of him.

Thanks to Qinchuan's guidance, they had each identified the obstacles impeding their advancement and had followed his advice to overcome years of constraints, leading to significant progress in their cultivation levels.

Especially Wu Tian, who had been wholeheartedly tempering his Primordial Spirit according to Qinchuan's advice, felt his Essence Qi become more abundant, believing he was on the verge of the Immortal Platform Realm and had begun preparing for the ascent.

As the day for the opening of the Myriad Spirit Garden drew near, Qinchuan also emerged from the secret cultivation room.

"Young Master, have you advanced to the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm?!"

When Zhou Xi saw Qinchuan, a hint of astonishment immediately surfaced in her beautiful eyes.

In just a short span of two months, he not only broke through two realms, but his True Qi was also so robust and concentrated, which utterly surprised her.

Qinchuan swept her a glance, unconcernedly said, "You've already advanced to the Fourth Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, what's so surprising about me breaking through one or two realms?"

"Brother!"

Qin Xiaoyu ran in with the Crimson Flame Bird and immediately greeted Qinchuan with a delighted surprise upon seeing him.

"Brother, you've finally come out, Xiaoyu hasn't seen you for two months," Qin Xiaoyu said pouting.

Qinchuan smiled and patted Qin Xiaoyu's head, asking, "What, has someone been bullying Xiaoyu?"

Qin Xiaoyu immediately broke into a smile and said, "With Little Flame here, who dares to bully Xiaoyu? It's just that there's a weird old man who always tries to trick me, aiming for the elixirs that you refined for me."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan's eyebrows raised instantly, and his gaze turned to Zhou Xi.

"It's Elder Liu..."

Seeing Qinchuan's gaze directed at her, Zhou Xi said awkwardly.

"Knew it was him."

Qinchuan said indifferently, "That old guy didn't use force, did he?"

Qin Xiaoyu wrinkled her nose and said, "That weird old man wanted to trade with me for jelly beans, as if I'm still a child. I didn't trade with him."

"..."

Zhou Xi looked at Qin Xiaoyu and thought to herself, aren't you just a child?

Qinchuan also couldn't help but laugh, and patting Qin Xiaoyu's head again, he said, "Exactly, our Xiaoyu here has long been no child, haha."

"Checking the days, there are only a few days left until the Myriad Spirit Garden opens. Brother will find treasured medicinal resources there, and upon my return, I will awaken your constitution. Then, Xiaoyu, you'll be the one protecting brother."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoyu's eyes lit up instantly.

After spending some time with Qin Xiaoyu, Wu Tian and several elders suddenly arrived at Heaven-Piercing Peak.

They came for the matter of the opening of the Myriad Spirit Garden.

"Qinchuan, there are less than half a month left until the Myriad Spirit Garden opens. Are you really ready to enter?" Wu Tian asked.

"Although the sect is indeed short on resources now, you've connected the underground Dragon Vein, and the Vital Energy irrigates the great Spirit Peaks, which has significantly alleviated the Sect's shortage of resources. The Sect can manage to gather them and still open the Holy Pond for you..." Wu Tian said, unexpectedly changing his initial decision, expressing willingness to gather resources to open the Holy Pond for him.

This was mainly because of the great merit Qinchuan had contributed to the Congyun Sect in the past.

First, he suppressed the arrogance of the Taixuan Sect and preserved the face of the Congyun Sect.

Afterwards, he cultivated a Taiyin Treasure Body for the sect.

Then, he connected the Earth Pulse Vital Energy to irrigate thirty-six peaks.

Last, his lecture that day had greatly benefited them all.

Taking into account Qinchuan's series of remarkable contributions, it would be untenable for the sect to show no appreciation at all.

Moreover, by now, they no longer had the deep wariness they once had towards Qinchuan. They also clearly recognized his value and importance to their Congyun Sect and were worried about him risking dangers in the Myriad Spirit Garden.

Therefore, even though the Sect was somewhat strapped for resources, Wu Tian still made the decision to gather resources and open the Holy Pond for him.
