Asura Mad Emperor

The Forbidden Ground of Congyun Sect.

The Great Elder took great care in procuring the object Qinchuan had entrusted to Wu Yong for safekeeping years ago and presented it to Qinchuan, "Young Master."

Qinchuan glanced at the ancient wooden box held in the hands of the Great Elder. The box apparently had not been opened yet, with the prohibitions left on it still intact.

Qinchuan took the wooden box and said to the Great Elder, "I will be staying in Congyun Sect for a while. Arrange an identity for me."

Having the Great Elder arrange a proper identity was to avoid unnecessary troubles.

However, upon hearing Qinchuan's words, the Great Elder found himself in a difficult situation, not knowing what kind of identity to arrange for Qinchuan.

Qinchuan looked at him and said, "Has the Saint Heir of this generation of Congyun Sect been established?"

The Great Elder quickly replied, "Not yet established, does the Young Master mean..."

Qinchuan simply looked at him evenly.

The Great Elder hurriedly said, "I will take care of it right away."

"First, arrange a residence for me. I will be entering a cultivation retreat for a while."

Qinchuan raised his hand to stop the Great Elder from leaving.

…

A moment later.

"Young Master, this peak is the Spirit Peak where the Saint Heirs of Congyun Sect have resided through the generations, known as Heaven-Piercing Peak. The environment here is uniquely excellent, filled with abundant spiritual energy. Do you find it satisfactory, Young Master?"

The Great Elder personally led Qinchuan to one of the thirty-six great Spirit Peaks of Congyun Sect, Heaven-Piercing Peak.

Beneath each of the thirty-six great Spirit Peaks lay an Earth Dragon, transformed from the Dragon Vein that Qinchuan had driven into years ago.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Upon arriving at Heaven-Piercing Peak, the Earth Dragon beneath sensed Qinchuan's presence and showed itself to pay respects.

Qinchuan gently stroked the head of the Earth Dragon before him, gave it a few instructions, and the obedient dragon returned underground.

Qinchuan then took a look around the environment of Heaven-Piercing Peak and nodded, "This place is good."

With that, Qinchuan led Qin Xiaoyu towards the grand palace at the peak of the mountain.

Seeing that Qinchuan was satisfied with the place, the Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief and took his leave, "I will take my leave now, Young Master. Should you have any commands, feel free to summon me at any time."

Saying this, the Great Elder left behind a Communication Talisman Command.

Qinchuan calmly nodded and accepted the talisman, "You may leave, I will summon you if there is anything."

The Great Elder bowed and retreated.

Qinchuan, with Qin Xiaoyu in tow, stepped into the Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace.

Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace was the main hall of Heaven-Piercing Peak and seemed incredibly grand and majestic, and it appeared to have a sense of history about it.

The previous master of Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace was Wu Tian.

Now that Wu Tian had become the Sect Master of Congyun Sect, and with the sect increasingly in decline over the years, no new Saint Heir had been established; thus, Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace had remained vacant.

"Wow, brother, this house is so big!" Qin Xiaoyu couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as she followed Qinchuan into the palace, struck by its grandeur and majesty.

Qinchuan, however, took it for granted.

Obviously, the Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace was built during the glorious days of Congyun Sect, which is why it was so majestic.

Currently, it would be impossible for Congyun Sect to afford such luxurious construction of a palace.

After the Great Elder left, he soon returned to Heaven-Piercing Peak, bringing along a group of menial disciples, some servants, and maids for attendance.

Qinchuan did not refuse this suggestion and allowed these menial disciples and servants to stay.

Among these menial disciples and servants, there was a leader responsible for managing all the trivial matters of Heaven-Piercing Peak.

...

From the Cloud Treasure Hall.

"What? You want to make Qinchuan our Cloud Sect's Saint Heir, Supreme Elder?!"

"How can this be? The position of Saint Heir is not a trivial matter, how can you make such a rash decision!"

When the Supreme Elder's decision to make Qinchuan the Cloud Sect's Saint Heir was announced, it immediately provoked strong opposition from Wu Tian and the high-ranking elders.

"Supreme Elder, not to mention that Qinchuan's origins are unclear and his person is full of peculiarities, even his mere Condensed Truth Realm Cultivation Level, what qualifications does he have to be the Saint Heir of our Cloud Sect? Let's not talk about what the other disciples within the sect would think, even the other five Superior Sects, if they learn that our Cloud Sect has actually chosen a mere Condensed Truth Realm martial artist as the Saint Heir, they will probably laugh their heads off!"

Elder Gu Chuan said in a grave voice, reacting particularly vehemently, with an extremely firm attitude.

To make an ignorant madman who had just joined their Cloud Sect, with only a Cultivation Level of the Condensed Truth Realm, their Cloud Sect's Saint Heir?!

What a joke!

In the entire history of the Cloud Sect that spans a hundred thousand years, there has never been such a precedent!

The Saint Heirs of the other Superior Sects in Shanhe County are almost all above the Seventh Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm.

Especially the Saint Heir of the Taixuan Sect, which is currently the strongest among the Superior Sects, is rumored to have attained the Spirit Martial Realm.

Even if our Cloud Sect has now declined, we're still one of the six Superior Sects in Shanhe County. If we really need to establish a Saint Heir, wouldn't we at least require a Cultivation Level of the Meridian Opening Realm?!

And now, the Supreme Elder actually wants to appoint a novice disciple who has just reached the intermediate stage of the Fifth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm as the Saint Heir. If this gets out, won't it be a huge laughingstock?

Wu Tian, currently the Sect Leader and the Supreme Elder's disciple, also couldn't help but frown and opposed his own master, the Supreme Elder's decision, saying, "Supreme Elder, I will not agree to this either!"

"That Qinchuan may indeed have some talent, but after all, he only possesses the Cultivation Level of the Fifth Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, and he has just officially joined the sect today. If we really make him the Saint Heir of our Cloud Sect, how will he command respect?"

The Supreme Elder frowned, not expecting the elders' response to be so vehement.

"If the Supreme Elder insists on making him the Saint Heir of our Cloud Sect, it's not impossible, but it depends on whether he has the capability!"

It was at this moment that Elder Gu Chuan suddenly spoke again.

"Hm? What do you mean by that, Elder Gu?"

The Supreme Elder and others, including Wu Tian, all turned to look at Gu Chuan.

"In three months' time, the Myriad Spirit Garden will open, and indeed our Cloud Sect should establish a Saint Heir to lead the disciples there to fight for it."

Gu Chuan said in a serious tone, "Although in the previous battles, our Cloud Sect suffered heavy losses and gained almost nothing, this time, our Cloud Sect has indeed recruited a few geniuses with potential to make a fight for it."

Upon hearing these words, Wu Tian and the other elders' eyes flickered slightly, and they nodded in agreement.

Now facing a resource crisis, Cloud Sect must send people into the Myriad Spirit Garden during its opening, no matter what.

Gu Chuan continued, "Previously, didn't that Qinchuan show contempt for the geniuses of our Cloud Sect? If he can defeat the many geniuses of our Cloud Sect without relying on any external forces, and suppress his peers, then that would prove he indeed has the qualifications to become the Saint Heir of our Cloud Sect."

"Otherwise, if the Supreme Elder forces the establishment of him as the Saint Heir, it will be difficult to win over the others and will only cause the disciples of the sect to lose heart!"

Hearing Gu Chuan's words, Wu Tian and the other elders' eyes lit up, and they nodded, saying, "Elder Gu Chuan's proposal is good!"

"If that Qinchuan really has the ability to suppress his peers and outperform all geniuses of our Cloud Sect, then what is wrong with breaking the norm and making him the Saint Heir?"

The Supreme Elder frowned upon hearing this, and even though he held a lofty position in the Cloud Sect, Wu Tian, along with all the elders, were opposed. If he continued to act alone, it would probably indeed cause the higher-ups of the Cloud Sect to become disheartened.

Therefore, he relayed this matter to Qinchuan through a Communication Talisman Command to see Qinchuan's attitude first.

"Let it be as they say then."

"I just want to see if these so-called geniuses of the Cloud Sect, like Liu Qingyu and the others, are really as weak as claimed. I hope they do not disappoint me."

Within the Heaven-Piercing Treasure Palace, Qinchuan said nonchalantly.
