Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 252: Existence Behind



```

The Jade Qilin was just a chubby little boy a hundred thousand years ago, and Qinchuan had some initial encounters with him.

Seeing him now having grown into a big fat man, he couldn't help but sigh.

As the others left and there were no outsiders around, the Jade Qilin bowed and respectfully called out, "Master."

Yu Hudie, though utterly puzzled, respected her senior brother's divine sense in her daily life and suppressed the doubts in her heart without asking further.

Qinchuan wanted to ask him what had happened back then.

The Jade Qilin seemed not to understand either and said, "Years ago, the ancestor from Congyun Sect, Wu Yong, came to seek our teacher with the Star Plucking Disk in hand. Wu Yong and our teacher talked in the secret room for a whole day and night, and after coming out, the teacher left a verbal order to pass the position of Pavilion Master of Exquisite Pavilion to my junior sister before he went far away."

"However, before the teacher left, he ordered the seal of the ninth floor of Exquisite Pavilion, saying that it shall only be opened upon the return of the master."

After speaking, the Jade Qilin led the way, saying, "I will take the master there."

As the Jade Qilin walked, he said, "The teacher left in a hurry, without disclosing where he was going or what for."

"Wu Yong... Star Plucking Disk..."

Qinchuan murmured, recalling these two names.

The Star Plucking Disk, also known as the Heavenly Secrets Disk.

As the name suggests, one can pluck stars from the disk, and it knows the secrets of the heavens; whoever holds the disk can understand the will of heaven and act against it.

This disk had accompanied Qinchuan for a long time. Before he had attained divinity, he had used the disk to avoid countless crises. Later, after he cultivated the Path of Asura and glimpsed the secrets of the Heavenly Dao, the disk gradually lost its usefulness, and he bestowed it upon Wu Yong.

"Wu Yong must have discovered something through the Star Plucking Disk... what on earth was it..."

Lost in thought, the two had already reached the eighth floor. The Jade Qilin stood respectfully at the passage to the ninth floor and said, "There is a barrier ahead, which I cannot enter, please go ahead, master."

Qinchuan's Innate Pupils moved and indeed saw a golden barrier that enveloped the entire ninth floor of Exquisite Pavilion.

This barrier was set by Yu Linglong, and even a Great Emperor could not enter; naturally, the Jade Qilin couldn't either.

However, this prohibition couldn't stop Qinchuan. He took a casual step forward, one step like heaven, one step like earth, the power of the Dao rippling under his feet, and his whole being vanished in an instant.

...

The ninth floor of Exquisite Pavilion had been idle for tens of thousands of years, and yet the place remained untouched, perhaps reflecting Yu Linglong's maiden's temperament, elegant and luxurious in its arrangement.

Qinchuan glanced around and saw two light shadows condensed in front of a desk. Looking intently, it was indeed from the conversation Wu Yong and Yu Linglong had left behind.

Eighty thousand years had passed, and these two shadows had not dissipated. Although the figures did not fade, their voices were long erased by the river of time.

Qinchuan strolled over casually, and there were still several traces of the Star Plucking Disk on the desk, but the secrets of the heavens could not leave shadows. The content within the disk was too chaotic, and even with his Innate Pupils, he could not discern the scene in the disk from the remnants of shadows.

The two shadows seemed to sense Qinchuan's Qi and suddenly came to life, both respectfully bowing to Qinchuan, saying, "Master."

Wu Yong continued, "Since the master has come to this place, I presume you must have also been to Congyun Sect."

Qinchuan, with an innate sense of authority, asked, "Wu Yong, weren't you off to investigate the one who laid out the Immortal Burial Site? What kind of difficulty did you encounter that made you come seek help at Exquisite Pavilion?"

"Master, after I discovered that mysterious force, I began to search for the powers behind those people. As I delved deeper into the investigation, I made even more astounding findings."

"More astounding findings?"

Qinchuan raised his eyebrows slightly, suddenly thinking of those seamlessly restored Heavenly Dao. Wu Yong, with the Star Plucking Disk in hand, must be quite familiar with the Heavenly Dao; surely, he too must have discovered some abnormality.

"Heavenly Dao!"

Yu Linglong giggled charmingly, and even though only a shadow remained, it still radiated an overwhelming allure. With flowers in her eyes, she gazed dreamily at Qinchuan. "See, what did I tell you? Nothing escapes the master's Dharma Eye."

Yu Linglong's Charm Skill was far more profound than Yu Hudie's. Even the enchanting aura emitted by the shadow was enough to cause ordinary cultivators to fall into temptation, but this did not include Qinchuan.

Seeing that Qinchuan was not affected at all, Yu Linglong pouted and hummed, speaking coquettishly, "No fun!"

It was then Wu Yong continued to speak, "The master once said, 'Heavenly Dao counts fifty, one escapes…' Subordinate inadvertently discovered that the escaping Heavenly Dao is gradually being replenished and reborn…"

Qinchuan had already noticed the anomaly in the Heavenly Dao during his sermon today. Without letting Wu Yong finish, he interrupted, "Is the rebirth of the Heavenly Dao related to the person who arranged the Immortal Burial Site?"

Wu Yong lowered his head in shame, answering, "Subordinate is incompetent and has not been able to investigate…"

"But subordinate is keenly aware of the influence a replenished Heavenly Dao will have on the master, and thus did not dare to further investigate the Immortal Burial Site."

At this point, Qinchuan understood completely.

The Immortal Burial Site was certainly important, but it lay beyond the Thirty-Three Heavens. Should the Heavenly Dao be replenished, it would cut off the path to become immortal for everyone in the Divine Wilderness Continent, including the Divine Realm.

Wu Yong also knew the limits of one's power, so he sought out all the Great Emperors of the Divine Wilderness Continent to investigate the matter together.

"So at this moment, you are no longer in the Divine Wilderness Continent, but have gone to..."

As he said this, Qinchuan pointed upward to the sky, his meaning clear.

Although Great Emperors were invincible beings on the Divine Wilderness Continent, they were still akin to ants when facing those who could manipulate the Heavenly Dao. To contend against such beings, they could only go to the Divine Realm.

Thus, it wasn't just Wu Yong and Yu Linglong who vanished eight thousand years ago—all the Great Emperors had disappeared, having gone to the Divine Realm.

Creating a passage to the Divine Realm was undoubtedly difficult, but if many Great Emperors of the Divine Wilderness Continent worked together with a united heart, it wouldn't be impossible.

"So the drunkard of Prison Mountain must have also returned to the Divine Realm," Qinchuan mused.

While he was pondering, Wu Yong's voice rose again.

"Master, subordinates, while investigating the matter of the Immortal Burial Site, also inadvertently heard a name. Those people seem to be obeying his orders."

Qinchuan raised an eyebrow, "What's the name?"

"It's called..."

Before Wu Yong could finish, a thunderous roar suddenly resonated from the void, followed by an ancient and melodious voice that bellowed angrily, "How dare you!"

The voice, as if it had been wandering through the river of time for ages, bore a thick sense of vicissitude and desolation. It arose from nowhere, its origin and destination unknown.

Truth and principle interwove in the void. With that ancient call, Wu Yong and Yu Linglong's shadows immediately dissipated as if they had never existed, leaving no trace behind.

As the shadows vanished, a rolling pressure continued to bear down on Qinchuan, intent on erasing him.

"Damned fool!"

Qinchuan was furious. He had cultivated for nine lifetimes and was the supreme Asura of this era, yet someone dared to trample over him.

The Great Emperor's Soul emerged from his body, and the Asura's Dao surged forth, instantly dispersing the oppressive aura.

The Great Emperor's form appeared above the Nine Heavens, and the clear, cloudless sky of Tianqing City suddenly turned blood red. A colossal Asura manifested in the sky, overlooking the entire city.

The sun and the moon hung together, transforming into the eyes of the Asura. His Innate Pupils wove together countless profound truths, searching for the origin of that mysterious voice.

But to Qinchuan's surprise, his Innate Pupils were disrupted by an unfathomable force, preventing even him from probing the source of that ancient voice.
