Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 736 Green Lotus Jade Marrow

```

Returning to Tianqing City from Thousand Fox Mountain, Qinchuan began pondering how to strengthen the city's defensive fortifications. freewebnσvel.cѳm

Tianqing City was different from places like Spirit Dragon Holy Land, Burning Heaven Sect, and Thousand Fox Mountain, among other Sect Families.

These cultivation forces were established amidst steep mountains and rugged terrain, with Earth Veins and Spiritual Energy beneath them to rely on.

Moreover, the territory of Sect Forces was not large, making it easier to deploy Arrays and Mountain Protection Arrays. Even the largest Spirit Dragon Holy Land was covered by a Mountain Protection Formation that was only about one percent the size of present-day Tianqing City.

Furthermore, as Tianyuan Nation's influence expanded, the boundaries of Tianqing City had been growing, now even stretching into the Heavenly Demon Forest.

Qinchuan wanted to set up a protective Array for the entire city area in this open terrain, which was no easy task, and the most critical issue was that he did not have enough Heavenly Treasures Materials and Crystal Stones on hand.

In the end, after much contemplation, Qinchuan's only option was to set his sights on the green Array Plate in the Dao Lotus space.

With a thought, Qinchuan took out a bright and dazzling Array Plate from his Storage Space.

One of the twelve Formation Plates of the Green Lotus Divine Emperor. This was what he had seized from the Storage Space of the mysterious figure in black robes, by using means during the Heaven-Sealing Great Formation.

Through investigation, Qinchuan learned that this was the Zhonghua Formation Plate among the twelve, mainly for defense with secondary offensive capabilities.

The Green Lotus Divine Emperor, an existence who broke through the limits of lifespan, lived for three million years and was an exceedingly mysterious and powerful being throughout the history of the Human Race.

He lived for an age far exceeding Qinchuan's nine lifecycles of reincarnations.

The twelve Formation Plates he left behind, each one was incredibly precious, enough to cause a stir even in the Upper Realm. Initially, Qinchuan had not planned to use them in the Lower Realm.

But now, with Upper Realm beings frequently descending to the Lower Realm and powerful individuals emerging ceaselessly, and with his complete opposition to families like the Jiang Family and the three other great families, it was inevitable that people from these great forces might come knocking again one day.

Tianqing City desperately needed a powerful protective Array.

"However, even if I want to use the Zhonghua Formation Plate of the Green Lotus, I need a key item—Green Lotus Jade Marrow to activate it," Qinchuan thought to himself.

"Fortunately, although Green Lotus Jade Marrow is rare, there have been records of its appearance in Divine Wilderness Continent before."

Immediately, Qinchuan summoned individuals from the Imperial Family such as Li Zhi, Exquisite Pavilion's Yu Hudie and Yu Qilin, Mei Qian'er, as well as other Great Emperors and Quasi-Emperors, asking them to use their methods and energy to inquire about the whereabouts of the Green Lotus Jade Marrow in the entire Divine Wilderness Continent.

Knowing that the object of the search was to consolidate the defenses of Tianqing City and understanding its importance, everyone took their orders and left. In no time, Great Emperors delved into the Four Great Continents, searching for the whereabouts of the Green Lotus Jade Marrow.

Qinchuan himself was not idle either.

The Green Lotus Jade Marrow was only the most crucial primer for activation, but before then, he also needed to integrate the Formation Plate with the Spirit Vein of the land.

He strived to ensure that the area covered by the Formation Plate was sufficiently wide and large.

This process was extremely cumbersome and tedious. Qinchuan went deep underground to discern the direction of the Spirit Veins and then planted markers.

It was not until he had located 3,600 converging points of Spiritual Energy that he finally completed the task.

This process took him a full month.

A month later, he finally integrated the Formation Plate with Tianqing City.

Everything was ready except for the Green Lotus Jade Marrow needed to activate the Formation.

Searching for Heavenly Treasures Materials depended on opportunity and luck, something Qinchuan could not help with anymore.

In the following time, he secluded himself in the Qin Residence of Tianqing City, living a leisurely life, while waiting for news of the Green Lotus Jade Marrow, and occasionally giving guidance on cultivation to cultivators such as Ji Huo'er, Ling Xian'er, Ye Xuanji, and Ye Shiyi.

With Qinchuan's guidance and advice, the cultivation levels of the several individuals made rapid progress.

Especially Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, who had fully merged with the Netherworld Strange Fire during this period, were now able to conjure a wisp of Strange Fire.

This Strange Fire had great uses, whether in alchemy or against enemies.

Especially since the two were unable to operate magic artifacts, it could make up for some of their weaknesses in combat.

However, to use the Netherworld Strange Fire as a defense against enemies, just a strand of fire was far from enough.

One day, Qinchuan felt a premonition that his Great Saint Realm Early Stage cultivation level was about to break through.

…

The Upper Realm.

The Jiang Family Mansion.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this passage can only be sustained for two months. If we don't make a decision soon, the passage will close. If this continues, we will have to wait another three years!"

Jiang Yu, the clan leader of the Jiang Family, looked at the three individuals before him and said with displeasure.

In front of him, two were familiar faces, the saintly Ji Jian and the stern, black-robed Liu You.

The last one was a seductive middle-aged woman with a certain charm about her. She was the Holy Master of the Golden Spirit Sanctum.

More than a month earlier, their four families had dispatched four talented powerhouses to the Lower Realm to assassinate a cultivator named Qinchuan.

But unexpectedly, no more than ten days after Jiang Chen and the others descended to the Lower Realm, their soul tablets cracked apart.

There was no doubt that they had all fallen at the hands of Qinchuan.

Originally, the cultivators from the major powers had suffered many losses in the Lower Realm three years ago, which had already caused some complaints from the elders of the four great powers.

Now, with the more promising geniuses from within their ranks perishing, the strong within their clans were furious, and some elders were dissatisfied with the decision to send the clan's geniuses to the Lower Realm.

Thus, these four gathered together, endlessly debating whether to send more people to the Lower Realm.

"Ji Xuan ranked tenth in talent within our Ji Family. Now that he has perished in the Lower Realm, I've already been blamed by the other branch elders in the clan. If I let other talented powerhouses descend and something happens, I cannot bear this responsibility," Ji Jian said gravely, completely lacking his previous confidence.

"I feel the same. Liu Fuyi was highly valued in our Liu Family. Since his death, the lineage of Fuyi has approached me several times demanding an explanation," Liu You added with disdain. "These people pushed their own geniuses to descend to the Lower Realm to grab a share of the Spiritual Treasure, but now that trouble has come, they all come to me for trouble!"

Ji Jian nodded in agreement, then continued, "According to the wishes of the elders and patriarchs in the clan, we should first investigate Qinchuan's background and origins, and take action when he appears in the Upper Realm. It's not too late then."

Clearly, these large families did not operate under a single command; the various great elders also had significant say.

Jiang Yu knew everyone was thinking this way. With Jiang Chen, Ji Xuan, and the others perishing in such a short period, it showed the other party was not easy to provoke.

If they sent more strong individuals, it could result in greater losses.

Of course, the main reason was that the supporting branches of those geniuses disagreed with continuing to descend to the Lower Realm for revenge.

"So, are we to simply watch that boy roam freely in the Lower Realm without impediment? If he doesn't ascend for a thousand years, are we to wait for him for one thousand years? What if he never ascends for ten thousand years, do we wait ten thousand years? What if he chooses to stay in the Divine Wilderness Continent for his entire life?"

Just when the three were at a loss, a soul-stirring voice suddenly rang out.

"I happen to have a magic artifact that can suppress this lad."
