Asura Mad Emperor

Chapter 351 People of the Upper Realm

Thus, Qinchuan chose to reside temporarily at the Qin Residence.

Even the Eldest Prince, who knew full well Qinchuan's dislike for disturbances, had all the guards within and surrounding the residence withdrawn upon his departure. He even ordered patrols several miles around to steer clear of the area, negating the need for their presence.

What a joke, with Qinchuan and Ye Xuanji among others holding the fort, what petty thief would dare cause trouble here?

Originally, when Qinchuan left Ye Xuanji and Zhou Xi at the Exquisite Pavilion, his intention was for the two to work with the pavilion in finding Heavenly Treasures Materials to awaken his Innate Body.

But those Heavenly Treasures Materials were exceedingly difficult to find. There were many Spiritual Treasures that even after spending nine lifetimes, Qinchuan had yet to hear of, let alone acquire. Given that Ye Xuanji and Zhou Xi had only been at the Exquisite Pavilion for a short while, it was only natural they came up empty-handed.

Qinchuan shook his head, not surprised that the two didn't find the treasures he wanted.

He was not at all discouraged, for what's meant to be will find a way, and what's not, will not. Back then, he had managed to find all those elusive treasures. The remaining Heavenly Treasures Materials were closely tied to destiny—both a matter of time and fate.

When the time was right, they would naturally appear; seeking them before their time was fruitless.

The three sat together, with Ye Xuanji and Zhou Xi asking Qinchuan about the bottlenecks and issues they encountered in their cultivation. In turn, Qinchuan addressed and clarified their queries.

Seeing that the two hadn't come across any news of Spiritual Treasures, Qinchuan sighed and prepared to retire to his room to rest. Back at the Fusang Mountain with the Burning Heaven Sect, he had exerted himself capturing Chi Hai's soul. His own soul had already been heavily depleted, and upon hearing the news of the Heaven-Piercing Five Elements Spiritual Root, he rushed without rest to Tianqing City.

Without giving his soul a moment's respite in Tianqing City, he went on to repair Ding Hao's soul and refine Elixirs. All these tasks greatly drained his soul. Even though he possessed the Asura Emperor Soul, his own realm was still weak, and by now, he felt rather weary.

Just at that moment, Ye Xuanji suddenly called out to him.

"Young Master, though I haven't found the Heavenly Treasures Materials you need, I did come across an object recently. This treasure, unaffected by fire and indestructible by Dao, remains unharmed even under my full strength. I've wracked my brains and still can't discern what it is. I thought you might be interested," Ye Xuanji said.

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan's interest was piqued. He turned back and sat down, perking up and asked curiously, "Xuan Ji, you're at the early stage of the Great Saint Realm, and yet there exists something in this world that even you don't know of and can't break? Could it possibly be a Supreme Dao Artifact?"

Ye Xuanji shook his head and explained, "This item doesn't catch the eye at all. It lacks any Dao aura, appearing just like any common object."

As he spoke, Ye Xuanji's palm swept over the storage ring, and a pair of sharply edged pebbles emerged in his hands.

Just as Ye Xuanji had described, the two pebbles were dull and lacked luster, utterly unremarkable. Not to mention any trace of Dao energy, they didn't even show the slightest sign of Spiritual Energy. At a glance, if they weren't mundane, what could they be?

When Qinchuan's eyes first fell upon these plain pebbles, his pupils suddenly contracted, and a blazing divine light shone in his eyes.

"Where did these come from?" he asked.

The Red Luan perched on Qinchuan's shoulder, catching sight of these two stones, unfurled its wings and landed in Ye Xuanji's palm. It pecked at one of the stones, examining it from left to right, feeling that this object was extraordinary. Yet, after a long look, it failed to pinpoint what was so special about it.

With a scoff, the Red Luan dropped the stone and flew back to rest on Qinchuan's shoulder, clearly losing interest.

Ye Xuanji was taken aback, not expecting such an intense reaction from Qinchuan, immediately realizing the item must be extraordinary.

"Two months ago, I went to the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom to

Ye Xuanji, frowning, asked, "Are you saying that those mysterious people are from the Upper Realm?"

"Precisely!"

Qinchuan nodded in confirmation.

At this moment, the striking and proud Zhou Xi suddenly spoke up, her voice clear and questioning.

"If these people are from the Upper Realm, then why, as Elder Ye mentioned, could they not even defeat the Flying Yan Army of the Great Yan Ancient Kingdom?"

Ye Xuanji also nodded, looking at Qinchuan with curiosity, not understanding the reason.
