Asura Mad Emperor

It was quite some time after Qinchuan and his party left.

In the area where the Jin Ling Tree stood,

the disciples of Sunset Sect and Red Daen Gate had just recovered from boundless fear.

"Demon, he's a demon..."

Many disciples had eyes filled with terror, their hearts still unable to calm down.

The Saint Heir of Sunset Sect and the Holy Maiden of Red Daen Gate were both pale, bloodless, looking in the direction where Qinchuan had departed, their eyes full of dread.

For a moment, they felt as if they had seen an unrivaled Asura descending upon the world.

That fleeting but terrifying aura of murderous intent had crushed their mental defenses in an instant, plunging them into a chilling abyss, almost scattering their spirits and souls! Your journey continues on empire

Never before had they felt such fear, not even in the face of death.

At this moment, Qinchuan's figure was deeply imprinted in their hearts, turning into an indelible mark of fear...

Qinchuan naturally would not care about the deep shadow that he had unintentionally cast over the hearts of those disciples from Sunset Sect and Red Daen Gate with the leak of his Emperor Soul's murderous intent.

At this moment, Qinchuan was leading Zhou Xi and the others, collecting Heavenly Treasures Materials deep in the forest, and making their way through the dense woods towards the forbidding zone outside.

They walked for two full days.

Two days later, Qinchuan and his company finally passed through the forest, and the view in front of them suddenly cleared.

At a glance, ahead was a vast plain, behind which mists swirled, and mountain ranges like coiled dragons lay half-hidden in the fog.

"Brother Qin, just ahead is the prohibition zone of Myriad Spirit Garden, an absolutely forbidden place."

"The ancestral teachings of Congyun Sect mention that disciples who enter Myriad Spirit Garden to gather herbs must never approach the forbidden zone, else there will be mortal peril!"

Li Ran and Wang Hao looked at the grand mountain range hidden behind the thick fog in the distance and couldn't help but speak out.

"I'm impressed that you remember the ancestral teachings of Cloud Sect and know that the forbidden zone is off-limits."

"However, Cloud Sect's ancestral teachings certainly don't apply to me. On the contrary, what I say, even the ancestor of your Cloud Sect would have to heed as if it were a sacred edict," Qinchuan said with a smile.

Hearing the bold and irreverent words of Qinchuan, the three of them could only face-palm and pretend they hadn't heard anything.

Although Qinchuan gave them an incredibly mysterious impression with extraordinary methods, they could never imagine Qinchuan's true identity.

In their eyes, no matter how mysterious and extraordinary Qinchuan was, he simply couldn't be someone who would command the respect of even the ancestor of Cloud Sect.

Qinchuan glanced at them, knowing they didn't believe him, but he didn't care, nor did he bother to explain further. Pointing at the Life Prohibition Zone ahead, he said, "That is Undying Mountain, the largest of the nine Life Prohibition Zones of Myriad Spirit Garden. It's called Undying Mountain, but any living being who enters it is bound to die without a doubt. Do you know why?"

Zhou Xi and the others naturally didn't know.

With a faint smile, Qinchuan strode towards Undying Mountain, hands clasped behind his back, "That's because there is a Formation within Undying Mountain, a Formation that can devour time, that can swallow years."

"This Formation's name is rather simple; it's called the Time Formation, covering more than half of Undying Mountain. Within the Formation, time turns to dust, and life leaves no trace."

Qinchuan spoke leisurely, "Our journey this time, is to head for Undying Mountain."

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Zhou Xi, Li Ran, and Wang Hao's faces changed dramatically as they exclaimed, "Brother Qin, if you know that ahead is Undying Mountain, the prohibition zone of Myriad Spirit Garden, and you are aware of the terror within, why do you still want to go there?"

Qinchuan turned to look at them and said with a faint smile, "Are you afraid?"

Zhou Xi looked at Qinchuan, pressed her lips together, and was the first to follow Qinchuan.

Since she chose to follow Qinchuan, she naturally had to stay by his side no matter what.

Li Ran and Wang Hao, however, wore expressions that flickered with indecision, hesitating for a moment.

Before heading to the Myriad Spirit Garden, Wu Tian had warned them with countless reminders and admonishments to never trespass into the Prohibition Zone, or they would certainly meet their deaths!

But now, well aware that the Prohibition Zone lay ahead—and that it was even the most terrifying zone in the Myriad Spirit Garden—Qinchuan was still determined to explore it. Was this not courting death?

Qinchuan glanced at Zhou Xi, who had caught up with him, then turned his gaze to Li Ran and Wang Hao with a placid look and said, "It's right for you to be afraid. The Undying Mountain is indeed a dangerous place, not meant for you, so just stay there."

After speaking, Qinchuan didn't waste any more words and turned to continue toward the Undying Mountain.

Zhou Xi followed behind Qinchuan.

As for Li Ran and Wang Hao, upon hearing Qinchuan's words and seeing Zhou Xi and Qinchuan heading toward the Undying Mountain, they exchanged glances after a brief hesitation, clenched their teeth, and quickly caught up, "Brother Qin, wait for us."

"Why did you follow? Aren't you afraid of dying?"

Qinchuan turned back, giving Li Ran and Wang Hao a look of surprise, and said.

"If Brother Qin and Sister Zhou aren't afraid, what do we have to fear? We've benefited greatly from your guidance over this period, and we cannot repay you enough. If we truly encounter danger, we are willing to strive for a sliver of survival for Brother Qin."

The two took a deep breath and spoke with determined eyes.

Qinchuan, upon hearing this, was lost for words with a chuckle, "You'll strive for a sliver of survival for me?"

"If we really face danger, it will surely turn heaven and earth upside down. With your level of cultivation, I'm afraid you won't even stir up a ripple before turning into a pile of dry bones in the long river of years."

The faces of the two flushed red upon hearing this.

Qinchuan smiled and said, "There's no need for you to worry. As long as you follow me closely, there will be no trouble."

After finishing, Qinchuan didn't say more.

As they gradually drew closer to the Undying Mountain, an invisible oppressive force slowly weighed down upon everyone.

The Undying Mountain, hidden behind the thick fog, gradually became clear.

"Brother Qin, do you have business in the Undying Mountain?"

Li Ran asked, trying to divert his attention and combat the oppressive feeling in his heart.

"Meet an old friend," Qinchuan replied succinctly.

Li Ran suddenly gaped, an old friend, the Undying Mountain?

"Boom!"

However, just at that moment, the ground beneath everyone shook violently, as if there was an earthquake.

The earth cracked open with a colossal fissure, akin to an endless abyss.

The Undying Mountain ahead also began to shake violently.

On the Undying Mountain's flank, a golden Summoning Talisman suddenly ignited, radiating light everywhere, casting itself across the sky, making the entire firmament tremble at that moment.

"Hm?"

Qinchuan abruptly turned his gaze to the other side of the Undying Mountain, his face sobering.

He immediately quickened his pace, turning into a blur as he swept toward the belly of the mountain ahead. When he rounded the front mountain range, Qinchuan immediately saw at the edge of the Undying Mountain, outside the enclave shrouded by the Time Formation, a group of people were frantically trying to extract twelve Ancient Swords from the base of the mountain!

These people turned out to be disciples from the various sects that had entered the Myriad Spirit Garden. Perhaps because they were transported near the Undying Mountain upon entering the garden, they had arrived here even before Qin Qinchuan and his party.
