Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 522: Lying Prostrate Everywhere
Qinchuan called out to Hong Xu and spoke again.
"Now on Crystal Mountain, apart from numerous cultivators, numerous Great Emperors have also gathered. I am afraid your Black Water Cave Mansion alone won't be of much help.
Take this jade token bearing my orders and personally visit Black Water Cave, Azure Dragon Palace, and Weak Water Mansion to request their joint attendance at Crystal Mountain."
As he said this, Qinchuan sealed a strand of Divine Sense within a jade token and tossed it to Hong Xu.
"What! There are Great Emperor-level powerhouses descending upon Crystal Mountain?"
Upon hearing this, Hong Xu was startled and jumped. He knew Crystal Mountain was swarmed with countless cultivators and had even detected the presence of Supreme Saints and Quasi-Emperors.
But he had yet to discover any Great Emperor-level powerhouses.
Hong Xu did not know that Great Emperors stay loftily above and that beings from the Divine Realm had interfered. Although Crystal Mountain had been bustling lately, it still involved only minor skirmishes between ordinary cultivators, which is why he had not detected the presence of any Great Emperors.
That is why he had agreed to Qinchuan's request so swiftly.
After hearing about the presence of Great Emperor-level powerhouses, he immediately started to worry.
"Young Master, these cultivators with the Great Emperor's cultivation…" Hong Xu's face showed a hint of hesitation.
His Black Water Cave Mansion, along with the other three forces of Black Water Cave, Azure Dragon Palace, and Weak Water Mansion, had at best Quasi-Emperor-level strength.
If it were Thousand Fox Mountain or Burning Heaven Sect, upon hearing a Heavenly Emperor had arrived, they would not hesitate.

However, the four forces including Black Water Cave Mansion were not initially followers of Qinchuan. The two parties merely had some interactions, and the four forces owed Qinchuan some favors.
Therefore, Hong Xu was somewhat hesitant at this moment.
Qinchuan knew what he was worried about and once again said indifferently, "Rest assured, you don't have to confront a Great Emperor. With your shrimp soldiers and crab generals, even if you wish to take on a Great Emperor, you wouldn't have the slightest chance of victory. Your four forces have long resided in the deep sea and have other uses.
Besides, I seem to recall I only passed down the first part of the Huaqing mental method last time, didn't I? Once this matter is over, I will personally transmit the remaining part to the other three families."
Upon hearing this, Hong Xu's expression changed.
Having lived for hundreds of thousands of years, he naturally knew that the Huaqing mental method was exchanged from Qinchuan during a transaction by the ancestors of the four great forces.
This Huaqing mental method was the collective mental method of the four great forces, and it was by relying on this method that they became invincible in this sea region.
Regrettably, this mental method was incomplete, only possessing the upper part and lacking the lower part.
But still.
Merely with the upper part of the mental method, the four forces could control this sea region, and if they could obtain the complete mental method, the strength of the four forces would surely experience a tremendous boost.
And perhaps, it might even break the embarrassing situation of no cultivator from the four forces breaking through to Great Emperor Level.
Hearing that they wouldn't have to confront a Great Emperor personally and that they could obtain the lower part of the legacy mental method, and moreover, if his four forces could repay the favor they owed from the past, he was naturally extremely willing.
Immediately he cheerfully agreed with a "Yes," then dived into the sea, heading towards the three great mansions to persuade those forces to take action.
With Hong Xu's departure, tranquility returned to the surroundings.
Only then did Qinchuan turn his head, looking at Chen Bei and the rest with a detached gaze.
Before Qinchuan could speak, the five people could no longer hold back, kneeling on the ground one after another, with fear and terror on their faces.
"Ah! Young Master Qin, please spare our lives!"
"Young Master Qin, please spare us, we were blinded by greed and even thought about scheming against Young Master Qin. We hope for your immense generosity to forgive us!"
The five of them each prostrated themselves upon the magical treasure, relentlessly kowtowing, with cold sweat streaming down their faces.
Although they still did not understand where Qinchuan's true prowess lay, merely on the basis of a casual remark from Qinchuan, the Mansion Master of Black Water Cave had repelled numerous sea beasts and treated him with great respect.
Moreover, from listening to the conversation between the two, it was not only the Black Water Cave that was at Qinchuan's command, but all four major powers of this sea domain were also at his beck and call.
The five had no longer any hint of underestimation in their hearts, and even had boundless reverence.
"Just what kind of monster have we provoked?"
A few threads of mockery and disdain appeared in Qinchuan's eyes, "This young master originally wanted to interact with you all as an ordinary cultivator, but I never imagined that what I attracted was covetousness, even daring to covet the idea of my magical treasure.
Weren't you still striking at this young master just now? How come you're kneeling now?"
"Young Master Qin, I…we dare not anymore! Even if you lent us a hundred times the courage, we would not dare to make a move against the young master again!" said Chen Bei, trembling.
This Qinchuan, though seemingly harmless to humans and animals and indeed only at the Life Spring Realm, was not a gamble they were willing to take.
At this moment, he had figured it out: Qinchuan was surely the Young Master of some hidden power, perhaps even a humanoid fierce beast from the bottom of the sea.
The vastness of the Divine Wilderness was no surprise; the sea area above the Divine Wilderness was even more expansive than the land, and the situation was far more complex. He had heard that there were humanoid fierce beasts in the sea area of Nanchi Continent, capable of swimming freely under the sea.
If that were the case, then it wouldn't be difficult to explain why the old golden toad was so respectful toward Qinchuan.
When the young master of a superpower takes a sea voyage, he is bound to have numerous lifesaving means. It's possible that Qinchuan has some powerful weapon on him that he has not yet used.
By then, Chen Bei had already imagined Qinchuan as some sort of humanoid fierce beast from the sea domain.
"Hmph, weren't you arrogant just now? Feeling afraid now?" sneered Ji Huo'er, pouting her lips and speaking from a position of superiority.
"Big Brother, I think these guys have done no small amount of killing and looting in the past. Just kill them and be done with it!"
As she spoke, Ji Huo'er raised her Embroidered Fist, intimidating the crowd and causing Yang Ling and the others to continuously kowtow for mercy, as if their heads would break from the force.
"Hmph, your attitude of admitting your mistakes is not bad, this young master is in need of a few people to speed up the journey, I will spare your lives for the time being!" Qinchuan declared.
"Thank you, young master, thank you, young master!"
Chen Bei and the others were grateful, finally letting out a sigh of relief, each wiping the cold sweat from their foreheads, feeling as if they had just walked away from the gate of hell.
"However, if you want to keep your lives, you must not reveal a single bit of what you have seen and heard today, or it will surely bring about fatal disaster."
"Yes! Yes! We dare not!" Having picked up a lifeline, they naturally knew what they should and should not say.
Qinchuan waved his hand, and five prohibitions surged into the minds of the five individuals. He planted prohibitions in the Divine Sense of each person.
...
Qinchuan, Ji Huo'er, and the others resumed their journey.
However, this time, there was no need for Qinchuan to drive the magic artifact on their journey, nor did any of the group dare to have Qinchuan drive the magic artifact any longer.
Joking aside, when even the Mansion Master of the Black Water Cave treated him with respect, how could they dare to have Qinchuan hasten the journey?
Even now, they felt it was a tremendous honor to be able to journey alongside Qinchuan.
Throughout the subsequent journey, as they progressed deeper into the Endless Sea Domain, there were no further attacks by sea beasts.
Initially, on the first day before they had ventured deep into the sea domain, they had been attacked by sea beasts. Now, further within, they hadn't encountered even a single fierce beast.
The group came to understand that all of this must surely be related to the Mansion Master of the Black Water Cave.
