Asura Mad Emperor

"Meridian Opening Realm Fourth Layer in three years?"n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Upon hearing Yan Xingyun's words, Qinchuan couldn't help but burst into laughter. Then, with a slight curl of his lips, he spoke languidly, "If I wish it, what need have I for three years for a mere Meridian Opening Realm Fourth Layer?"

Hearing Qinchuan's words, Yan Xingyun and others couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths. This guy really knew how to brag.

Even the elders, who were in the midst of their squabble, found themselves speechless upon hearing Qinchuan's arrogant words and involuntarily ceased their quarrel.

Do you really think the cultivation of martial arts is that simple?!

From the Condensed Truth Realm Fifth Layer Intermediate Stage to the Meridian Opening Realm Fourth Layer, let alone three years, many people couldn't achieve it even in ten or twenty years!

Yet, Qinchuan claimed it didn't require three years. Was this confidence, arrogance, or ignorance?

Elder Yan, Yan Xingyun's master, scoffed and said, "I've lived more than half my life and never have I encountered someone as wildly boastful as you. Big talk is easy to make. I even say I could become an emperor within a hundred years! Do you believe that?"

Upon hearing this, Qinchuan raised an eyebrow, glanced at Elder Yan, and scoffed, "An emperor within a hundred years? You speak such big words with so little confidence, I am ashamed to be associated with you."

"If it were up to me, becoming an emperor within ten years would still be just barely plausible."

"..."

Upon hearing Qinchuan's words, everyone present couldn't help but twitch their lips, rendered speechless.

Zhou Xi stole a glance at her own master and whispered to Gu Chuan, "Master, does this guy... really know the secrets of the Taiyin True Meridian?"

She just didn't find it plausible!

This guy was clearly a king of empty talk, spouting pure nonsense.

She truly didn't believe such a person could accurately describe her condition in one try.

Gu Chuan also couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth, his eyes likewise brimming with doubt. Had he really thought wrong? Were all those things Qinchuan said earlier pure coincidence?

But that would be too much of a coincidence.

And upon hearing Qinchuan's words, Elder Yan was initially stunned, then became furious, "An emperor within ten years?! What audacity!"

"Why bother getting angry with him, Master? He's just an ignorant braggart. Big talk is all he has, nothing else," Yan Xingyun said disdainfully, feeling that Qinchuan was making things up on the fly. To say one could become an emperor within ten years was simply outrageous.

"Hmph, since you're so powerful, let's see how capable this future emperor of yours is, ten years from now!"

Yan Xingyun sneered coldly, ready to clamp down on Qinchuan.

"Young man, remember not to use any external power!" Elder Yan reminded from the sidelines, keeping his eyes on Qinchuan.

He was aware that Qinchuan had received the acknowledgment of two Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts. Even though Qinchuan's current Cultivation Realm was low and he lacked the strength to reinforce those two Half-Step Supreme Dao Artifacts, just the inherent majesty of those artifacts alone was terrifying enough.

"Rest assured, a mere Meridian Opening Realm contender isn't worth the trouble for me. It's true that my current cultivation level is rather low and that, despite my ability to defeat him with it, it would be somewhat troublesome. And if there's anything I dislike, it's trouble," Qinchuan said with an unconcerned smile.

"Arrogant!" Yan Xingyun could no longer contain his impatience.

Just as he was about to make a move,

at that moment, the earth suddenly shook, and fierce winds howled.

"Eh? What's going on? What happened?"

This sudden disturbance left everyone present astonished.

```

"Whoosh!"

The next moment, everyone's gaze sharpened and their expressions changed dramatically.

They saw that below Heaven-Piercing Peak, Earth Pulse Vital Energy suddenly burst forth, and rich Spiritual Energy soared into the sky!

These dense streams of Earth Pulse Vital Energy, together with the rich Spiritual Energy, highly condensed, resembling a Cang Long ascending to the heavens, shooting up to the summit of Heaven-Piercing Peak and finally towards Qinchuan, swirling and converging around him.

In an instant, fierce winds howled, and a deluge of energy surged.

The violent storm of energy caused Yan Xingyun, Zhou Xi, Li Que, and others from Cloud Sect, as well as the two attendants serving Qinchuan, to lose their footing, stumbling and swaying, unable to stabilize their forms even with their full cultivation power bursting forth, as they were blown away.

Only the elders, relying on their profound cultivation levels, were able to stand firm amidst the storm of energy.

In the midst of the pale energy storm, Qinchuan effortlessly protected Qin Xiaoyu.

"There's no rush to challenge me. Let me take a moment to cultivate," he said.

Qinchuan glanced at the blown-away Yan Xingyun and others, then at the elders, and amidst the bewildered stares of the elders, he slowly sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate!

The rich Earth Pulse Vital Energy, together with the dense Spiritual Energy that had burst forth, forming a Spiritual Energy Cang Long, actually entered Qinchuan's body as if rivers were flowing into the sea.

A powerful storm of energy enveloped Qinchuan.

Everyone's pupils shrank immediately, clearly perceiving that the cultivation aura on Qinchuan's body was rapidly increasing!

Condensed Truth Realm, Fifth Layer, Late Stage.

Condensed Truth Realm, Sixth Layer!

Condensed Truth Realm, Seventh Layer!

In just the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Qinchuan had broken through several realms and advanced to the late stage of the Seventh Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, and with the help of the dense Earth Pulse Vital Energy and Spiritual Energy, he further stabilized his cultivation.

Indeed, if Qinchuan hadn't restrained himself, it wouldn't have been a problem to breakthrough into the Meridian Opening Realm in one fell swoop!

After all, with such an enormous boost from the Earth Pulse Vital Energy and Spiritual Energy, even someone with as profound a foundation as him could break through with ease.

This sudden eruption of Earth Pulse Vital Energy and Spiritual Energy didn't come from nowhere.

It was at Qinchuan's mere thought that the Earth Dragon beneath Heaven-Piercing Peak spewed forth.

This Earth Dragon was the evolution of the Dragon Vein that Qinchuan had enlightened years ago.

The Earth Vein beneath Heaven-Piercing Peak was the very essence condensed by the Earth Dragon.

It lay dormant beneath Heaven-Piercing Peak, accumulating for a hundred thousand years, absorbing the essence of heaven and earth, condensing a rich cache of Earth Pulse Vital Energy, with boundless refined Spiritual Energy stored within!

It could be said that this Earth Dragon was a living nexus of a massive Spirit Vein and Earth Vein!

If it weren't for the need to open the Holy Pond with several specific Heavenly Treasure Materials, Qinchuan would have simply harnessed the power of this Earth Dragon to unlock the Holy Pond of Cloud Sect for Qin Xiaoyu to awaken her Treasured Body.

The burst of Spiritual Energy spewed by the Earth Dragon, resembling a Cang Long, was thick and tangible. Qinchuan didn't use it all to enhance his cultivation level. After ascending to the Seventh Layer of the Condensed Truth Realm, he further consolidated his cultivation, and the remaining Spiritual Energy was refined into his flesh and blood, tempering his Physical Body and cultivating the Asura True Body.

The Physical Body has always been the foundation of cultivation, the vessel that bears power.

The stronger the Physical Body, the greater the power it can bear.

This isn't just about endurance; it includes the ultimate limit of power one's own body can hold.

What's more, a strong Physical Body can make the Primordial Spirit more stable.

For the Primordial Spirit, the Physical Body is the "home," the "fortress." The stronger and more formidable the "fortress," the safer the Primordial Spirit naturally is.

However, these simple truths are not widely known in the world, as everyone focuses singularly on improving their Cultivation Realm, thereby neglecting the importance of the Physical Body.

Only those ancient and powerful forces have some understanding of this, which is why the disciples that come from such forces generally possess strong physical bodies, robust cultivation strength, and a more profound foundation.
