Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 528 -
"Senior, I am also acting under the orders of the Divine Son to bar cultivators from entering the area,"
At this time, the Jin Ling Saintess spoke with grace, "Actually, there are far too many people with overwhelming strength within Crystal Mountain. These people have not even reached the Holy's Realm, and if a battle were to occur later, they wouldn't even be able to withstand the residual waves of the fight. Keeping them out is for their own good!"
Qinchuan nodded, not objecting to what the Jin Ling Saintess had said, but he immediately shifted the topic, "How many emperors from various realms have already arrived?"
"Reporting to senior, from Dongju Continent, the four Ancient Kingdoms and four Imperial Families have five Great Emperors together who are now all at Crystal Mountain. Additionally, five more Great Emperors from various sects are also at Crystal Mountain.
However, the Bronze Stone Coffin has not yet been opened; the emperors are currently watching from the shadows, not showing themselves."
At this point, the Jin Ling Saintess seemed to remember something and said, "However, two Great Emperors from Thousand Fox Mountain and the Fiery Sky Lineage of Dongju Continent have not shown themselves. Perhaps it is because Chi Hai and Mei Qian'er, the newly risen emperors, are still consolidating their realms."
Qinchuan nodded. Even the Jin Ling Saintess hadn't noticed Chi Hai and Mei Qian'er; it seemed they had not yet revealed themselves.
But even the presence of ten Great Emperors was extremely terrifying. If all ten emperors took action together, they could reduce an entire region to flat ground.
Returning to his senses, Qinchuan turned to Dongfang Zhen, Li Shu, and the others, "This island is too dangerous, far beyond your capabilities. You should hurry back to Tianqing City!"
Qinchuan did not specify that the emperors of Dongju Continent were about to fall, and that the skies were changing. He suggested they hurry back to Tianqing City to prepare for the coming battles.
Gongsun Jian and the others had initially wanted to persuade Qinchuan to leave with them, but upon further thought, seeing even the Jin Ling Saintess referred to him as 'senior', they decided to leave without further persuasion.
Chen Bei, Yang Ling, and the others did not continue forward either, choosing to return the way they had come.
They had come to seek treasures, but the precondition was to stay alive.
Although the cultivation world is full of dangers, and a nine-death one-life situation is worth the gamble, the current situation was one with a hundred percent chance of certain death. Entering would be like delivering themselves to their doom.
Seeing Gongsun Jian and the others starting to leave, the onlookers lost the desire to stay and departed one after another.
As the crowd dispersed, Qinchuan looked at the barrier that blocked everyone with a meaningful gaze, a strange curve appearing on his lips, "You truly are willing to go all out, even using the Heaven Suppression Bead."
Moved by his words, the Jin Ling Saintess gracefully responded, "This Bronze Stone Coffin is really enigmatic. Once it flees, even the Divine Lord would not be able to lock onto it. To prevent the same situation as before, the Divine Lord decided to use the precious Heaven Suppression Bead."
Qinchuan did not continue the conversation. He believed the Jin Ling Saintess's explanation was certainly correct, but perhaps it wasn't just as simple as that. Using the Heaven Suppression Bead implied that the Divine Alliance must also have other ulterior motives.
Qinchuan and his companions walked shoulder to shoulder with the Jin Ling Saintess, heading towards the Divine Demon Island.
"By the way, since you have the support of the Divine Realm and are more well-informed, you must know the secrets within that Bronze Stone Coffin, right?"
Along the way, Qinchuan began to pry more information out of the Jin Ling Saintess.
The Jin Ling Saintess had long been coaxed by Qinchuan into sharing everything she knew.
Although she had a sliver of doubt, she eventually transmitted her voice to say, "This matter may indeed be related to the Immortal Burial Site."
"The Immortal Burial Site?" Qinchuan asked, puzzled.
The Immortal Burial Site was located at the edge of the Divine Realm's world. The Bronze Stone Coffin came from the Divine Wilderness's nine Great Secrets; the two were miles apart with no apparent connection. How could they be linked?
The only possible connection between the two could be that, whether it was the Immortal Burial Site or the nine Great Secrets, both have been passed down from the era of Ancient Gods and Demons.
"Does senior still remember what Jin Ling said? Eighty thousand years ago, an abnormality occurred in the Immortal Burial Site, and an enormous amount of evil qi surged out?"
"Does this have anything to do with the Bronze Stone Coffin?" Qinchuan asked.
"There is no relation," the Jin Ling Saintess shook her head, but her tone changed immediately.
"However, before the anomalies occurred at the Immortal Burial Site, an endless divine light had also burst forth from the center of the site. According to eyewitnesses, the spiritual energy within the Immortal Burial Site surged and converged into a painting.
In that painting, there was a mysterious figure, surrounded by nine Spiritual Pearls. That massive painting floated in the sky above the Immortal Burial Site for an entire year. After that year, the nine pearls in the painting shattered, and then malevolent Qi began to emanate from the Immortal Burial Site, engulfing the Divine Realm."
Having said this, Qinchuan already understood.
The Jin Ling Saintess glanced in the direction of Divine Demon Island and lowered her voice to continue, "And recently, people of the Rain People Clan went to the Holy's Tomb and discovered a chaos bead within a Bronze spring. After identification, that chaos bead bore a striking resemblance to the Spiritual Pearls from that painting."
"No wonder!" Qinchuan nodded. "So, you think these nine Spiritual Pearls are the key to resolving the malevolent Qi of the Immortal Burial Site?"
"It might be, or it might not be, but we have to try," sighed the Jin Ling Saintess.
Having reached this point in the conversation, the Jin Ling Saintess suddenly stopped, her expression complex as she looked at Qinchuan.
After a long pause, she finally mustered the courage and asked cautiously.
"There are rumors that a Spiritual Treasure has appeared in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb, drawing countless cultivators. In the end, only three people survived. I wonder if they were three seniors?"
"It was me!"
Qinchuan admitted with a dignified and straightforward demeanor.
Now that the nine great secrets had attracted the attention of the Divine Realm's mighty, they would have inevitably made inquiries about the events that happened in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb after the appearance of the Spiritual Treasure in the Holy's Tomb.
When the Spirit Martial Great Tomb collapsed, shattering completely, only Qinchuan and the others survived. With the means of the Divine Realm, finding out such information would be like turning over one's hand.
Perhaps these beings of the Divine Realm were already investigating Qinchuan's true identity, but given the urgency of time and the appearance of the Crystal Mountain's coffin, they hadn't had the chance to probe deeply yet.
Since the Jin Ling Saintess asked in such a manner, it indicated they had already determined that Qinchuan was indeed the one who had survived the Spirit Martial Great Tomb.
These beings from the Divine Realm, having investigated Qinchuan, would have ordinarily sent someone to contend for the Supreme Treasure by now.
Only back when Qinchuan was in Flying Swallow City, which was the Divine Alliance's stronghold, the Feather Alliance of the Jiuxiang Ancient Country and the Rain People Clan of the Taiyuan Ancient Country did not dare to act rashly. And the Divine Alliance, due to a miscommunication, caused everyone to mistakenly believe Qinchuan was an old monster who had lived for several hundred thousand years in the Lower Realm, and thus did not dare to act recklessly.
Otherwise, someone would have come knocking at Qinchuan's door while he was in seclusion at the Exquisite Pavilion.
"Was the Spiritual Treasure in the Spirit Martial Great Tomb also obtained by the senior?" the Jin Ling Saintess, her gaze intent, stared at Qinchuan, inquiring.
"It was also obtained by me!"
Qinchuan answered straightforwardly, without concealment.
"Then, senior..." Receiving Qinchuan's affirmative response, the Jin Ling Saintess's eyes suddenly brightened, her Golden Pupils shimmering with excitement.
"Would the senior be willing to part with the treasures from the Spirit Martial Great Tomb?"
Having said this, the Jin Ling Saintess slightly calmed herself and continued, "Of course, whatever the senior requires in exchange, please feel free to ask. Our Divine Alliance will do our utmost to satisfy the senior."
The Jin Ling Saintess's eyes shone, eagerly looking at Qinchuan.
