Asura Mad Emperor

Qinchuan looked at the Grand Elder and truly did not know what to say.

They were truly a bunch of family-decaying wastes.

How splendid was the Congyun Sect back in the day?

In just under a hundred thousand years, it had fallen to such a state.

To be exact, it had not even been a full hundred thousand years.

Because the decline of the Congyun Sect began after Wu Yong left.

And Wu Yong left some seventy to eighty thousand years ago.

The Grand Elder hung his head low, too ashamed to speak.

Wu Tian and the other elders also had embarrassed expressions. Although the decline of the Congyun Sect did not start with their generation, they had also failed to restore the glory of the Congyun Sect and felt ashamed before their ancestors.

Things having come thus far, Qinchuan was too lazy to continue reprimanding them and simply asked, "When will the spirit grasses and precious medicines in the Myriad Spirit Garden next be ripe for harvest?"

Hearing this, the Grand Elder hurriedly replied, "There's just under three months left until the Myriad Spirit Garden opens again."

Qinchuan nodded and said, "I see."

"In three months, I will make a trip to the Myriad Spirit Garden."

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Wu Tian and the other elders frowned and said, "You're going to the Myriad Spirit Garden?"

Qinchuan glanced at Wu Tian and the others, too lazy to waste words with them.

However, Wu Tian opened his mouth and said, "Nowadays, the Myriad Spirit Garden is already controlled by the Xuantian Sect and other major sects. Even our Congyun Sect's talented disciples, when they enter in groups, find it hard to gain anything. You, a mere Condensed Truth Realm cultivator, even if you enter the Myriad Spirit Garden, what can you do?"

"Your Congyun Sect's talented disciples?"

Hearing Wu Tian's words, Qinchuan couldn't help but curl his lips and said, "Are you referring to the likes of Liu Qingyu and Wu Shanhe? If it were in the past, these so-called talented disciples you speak of, like Liu Qingyu and his ilk, wouldn't even qualify to be menial labor disciples, and as for Wu Shanhe, at best he could be an ordinary outer disciple. And he's also considered talented?"

"You!"

Wu Tian's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver upon hearing these words—Wu Shanhe was his son!

"Junior, you're too arrogant, to disdain the Congyun Sect like this. Do you really think the Congyun Sect lacks for talents?!"

An elder spoke with indignation.

"The Congyun Sect does have some real talents, such as Elder Gu Chuan's direct disciple Zhou Xi he took two years ago, who possesses the Taiyin True Meridian. Although she does not have an extremely rare special physique, she is still a top-notch prodigy. She joined the sect only two years ago, and now, at under eighteen years of age, she has already reached the Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm," another elder added with a grave voice.

"That's right, my disciple Zhou Xi, who was born with the Taiyin True Meridian and cultivates the Power of Taiyin, has reached the Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm before the age of eighteen, hardly finding any rival among her peers! Doesn't she deserve the title of a 'talent'?" the elder named Gu Chuan stood up, stroking his beard and looking quite proud as he spoke.

"The Taiyin True Meridian?"

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan could not help but sneer and shook his head, "Since when did the Taiyin True Meridian, an innate disability, become a mark of talent?"

"You, you, you... What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Qinchuan's comment, Elder Gu Chuan's face instantly turned the color of a pig's liver, shaking with anger.

His disciple Zhou Xi, the proud Taiyin True Meridian, had always been his pride, and he had taken great care in her cultivation, filled with expectations.

But now, the proud Taiyin True Meridian, in Qinchuan's mouth, had become an innate disability!

"The Taiyin True Meridian, although it can condense the Power of Taiyin and accelerate cultivation, is an act of self-harm. Once a certain realm is reached, the accumulated Power of Taiyin within the body will become uncontrollable, freezing the Eight Extraordinary Meridians. Eventually, all of the meridians in the body will stiffen, not only will one's cultivation level be wasted, but the body will also become increasingly weak until the life span is cut short."

"Only you would consider the Taiyin True Meridian as treasure."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Seeing Gu Chuan's agitated face, Qinchuan shook his head and said.

"You..."

Gu Chuan, furious, with his chest heaving, pointed tremblingly at Qinchuan, "Nonsense!"

"At such a young age, what do you know about the Taiyin True Meridian, and how much do you understand? Yet you dare speak without restraint, making wild statements and slandering the Taiyin True Meridian!?"

"This really infuriates me!"

Gu Chuan took a deep breath, trying hard to calm his anger. If it weren't for the fear of Qinchuan's bizarre previous actions, as well as the presence of an elder by his side, he would've lost control and suppressed this presumptuous junior long ago.

The other elders also shook their heads, feeling that Qinchuan's words were utter nonsense.

After giving Qinchuan a cold look, the elders said to Gu Chuan, "Elder Gu, calm down. This youngster, at such a young age, cannot possibly understand the power of the Taiyin True Meridian. His nonsensical talks are merely for attention-seeking. Don't let it affect your health."

"Exactly, exactly, this kid probably doesn't even know what the Taiyin True Meridian is. There's no need to get angry over him."

The group of you saying this and me saying that made Qinchuan couldn't help but laugh.

He didn't know what the Taiyin True Meridian was?

If even he didn't understand the Taiyin True Meridian in this world, then truly no one under the heavens could claim to understand it.

But he couldn't be bothered to waste more words with them. After glancing at Gu Chuan, he casually dropped a sentence, "Since your disciple has already cultivated to the Third Layer of the Meridian Opening Realm, I suppose the effects of the Taiyin True Meridian must have begun to show. Why don't you go ask your disciple whether, since cultivating to the Meridian Opening Realm, he often feels the True Qi in his body flowing erratically and the meridians beginning to ache subtly?"

"Feigning magical powers."

Gu Chuan snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, put his hands behind his back in disdain, then shot Qinchuan a contemptuous glance, looking as if he thought Qinchuan was full of nonsense.

Qinchuan didn't bother to pay him any more attention and turned to the elder, "Alright, let's go get the items."

He was referring to the items he had left in the Cloud Sect for Wu Yong to keep safe on his behalf.

These were the things he had prepared for his own reincarnation, some especially precious materials for awakening the Innate Pupils.

The primary reason for his visit to the Cloud Sect was to retrieve these materials and awaken the Innate Pupils.

Next, he wanted to awaken the Treasured Body for Qin Xiaoyu and to meet Wu Yong, who once served under him in past years.

Unexpectedly, Wu Yong had already vanished 80,000 years before.

And the Cloud Sect had also declined to such an extent that they struggled to gather resources even to open the Holy Pond.

Hearing Qinchuan's words, the elder quickly bowed and responded, "Young master, please follow me."

Qinchuan, holding Qin Xiaoyu's hand, followed the elder towards the forbidden grounds of the Cloud Sect.

Wu Tian and the other elders frowned one after another, but they were stopped by the elder.

"Has the elder been charmed by that boy? To be so submissive to him!"

One of the elders said discontentedly.

"That kid could enter the Heavenly Tao Treasure Pavilion without a token and even control and harness the Prohibitions within the Pavilion, even achieving recognition from two and a half Supreme Dao Artifacts—it's bizarre."

"There must be secrets about this person that we do not understand. The elder might know something but seems unwilling to disclose it..."

"Hmph, I do not know what secrets the man holds, but his arrogance is indeed unprecedented in my experience. To actually call the Taiyin True Meridian an Innate Disability is simply absurd!"

As the group watched Qinchuan and the elder walk away, they couldn't help but discuss among themselves.
