Asura Mad Emperor

Upon hearing the scolding from the Four Directions Elders, Qinchuan's expression remained unchanged. He merely gave them a fleeting glance, not taking them seriously at all, and instead focused his attention on the depths of the Congyun Sect.

Seeing that there was no movement deep within the Congyun Sect, Qinchuan frowned slightly, his gaze turning colder, "Hmph, since the Congyun Sect does not have anyone sensible, then there's no need for the Congyun Sect to continue existing!"

With a golden dragon coiling around him, Qinchuan held Qin Xiaoyu's hand and gazed towards the distant misty peaks of the Congyun Sect's spiritual mountains, exuding a terrifying majesty that shocked the Cloud Sect Elders present, causing their hearts and minds to tremble.

A strand of divine radiance condensed in Qinchuan's eyes, as if piercing through illusion, penetrating the mountains, reflecting the shadows of dragons!

"A hundred thousand years have flown by. Have they already grown so large?"

With a light raise of his eyebrows, Qinchuan murmured softly, then his authority was fully revealed.

"Boom!"

In an instant, the ground of the Congyun Sect trembled and shook, as if heaven and earth were flipping over!

"Ah!"

"What's going on, what happened?! Is it an earthquake?!"

Everyone's faces changed dramatically, feeling the earth shaking and violently heaving. Those candidates taking part in the examination, along with the many disciples of the Congyun Sect, all staggered around, unable to stand firm.

Only those Elders who hovered in the air were unaffected in stance, but they clearly felt a series of terrifying auras and pressures appear out of nowhere, pressing down upon them and causing them to fall from the sky!

"Boom, boom, boom!"

Then, the ground cracked open, and the mountains shook violently. The land and mountains of the entire Congyun Sect seemed as if they were about to be overthrown.

Somewhere beneath the ground, something terrifying seemed ready to emerge, as the surface bulged upwards.

"You... what have you done?!"

The Elders of the Congyun Sect were horrified, finding it unbelievable, but they felt that the sudden changes were somehow related to the mysterious young man right before them!

This realization frightened them—just who was this young man?

Based on the signs of age on him, he was clearly only sixteen years old, with a Cultivation Realm at the intermediate stage of the Fifth Layer of Condensed Truth, and yet a Fourth Rank Ninth Grade Demon Beast, the Crimson Flame Bird, followed him.

Even the golden dragon hidden in their Thousand Illusion Tower addressed him as its master!

Moreover, just him standing there tranquilly, with a simple glance towards the distant spiritual mountains, had caused the sect to be turned upside down!

Of course, they did not know that the Thousand Illusion Tower, which they considered a Supreme Treasure of the Cloud Sect, was personally refined by Qinchuan in the past. The golden dragon was also the Artifact Spirit he had gathered and condensed for the tower.

They couldn't imagine that beneath their Cloud Sect, there were thirty-six Earth Veins that Qinchuan had extracted from elsewhere in the past, transforming them with Supreme Divine Abilities and imparting them with spirituality.

Now, a hundred thousand years in a flash, those thirty-six Earth Veins had already grown and metamorphosed into Earth Dragons.

At this moment, as Qinchuan's majesty emanated, the thirty-six Earth Dragons sensed his presence, thus they turned over, coming to greet him!

All could see that from the distant clouds and mists, as beautiful as the Immortal Realm deep within the Congyun Sect, the ground churned, and thirty-six mounds of earth surged rapidly towards them, like sudden high waves rising on the sea.

Witnessing the thirty-six massive waves of earth rushing forth, countless disciples and Elders within the Congyun Sect were shocked and bewildered.

As for the disciples and candidates around Qinchuan, as well as the Elders, they stared at the thirty-six giant earth waves trembling with terror and unease.

What on earth was beneath them?!

Who exactly was this young man, and what had he done?

To cause such a spectacle!

Inside the Cloud Sect, Sect Master Wu Tianzheng and others were waiting for Elder Yuan and his cohort to bring back Qinchuan; they wanted to see if this peerless genius, praised to the skies by Elder Yuan, was genuinely as remarkable as claimed.

Now, sensing the tumultuous disturbances, Wu Tianzheng's complexion changed instantly. He stepped out of the grand hall, only to see the ground heaving, the very land of the Congyun Sect as if it were about to be overturned, his pupils shrinking in the moment.

"What demon dares to cause trouble in my Congyun Sect!?"

He had no idea that underneath the Congyun Sect lay hidden a terrifying thing. Seeing the violent surge of soil waves, he thought a demon was at work and immediately let out a fierce shout, traveling thousands of miles in an instant to kill it.

His speed was too fast, his cultivation level too profound, even more powerful than the elders who had left with Elder Yuan before.

Besides him, many strong breaths shot out from the depths of the Congyun Sect, belonging to the top-tier elders, who had all been alerted.

In just a few breaths' time, Wu Tian, accompanied by a group of elders, arrived at the convergence site of those soil waves, which happened to be the location of the second phase of the Congyun Sect's recruitment assessment—the Dao Heart examination.

Seeing the thirty-six soil waves rolling and crashing toward that place, shaking the mountain, where over twenty thousand contestants and some Congyun Sect disciples maintaining order were present, even his own son Wu Shanhe was there. Sect Master Wu Tian's face changed drastically, and he yelled furiously, "Audacious demon, how dare you run amok in my Congyun Sect!"

"The Sect Master and all the Great Elders have arrived!"

The elders who had arrived earlier and the Congyun Sect disciples present all exclaimed with surprise and joy when they saw this.

Immediately after, they saw Sect Master Wu Tian from the Congyun Sect shout angrily and with a flip of his hand, he summoned his divine skills and struck toward the rolling soil waves.

However, his palm strike, which seemed like it should crush the seemingly soft land, sparked a shower of fire upon impact, emitting a sound as if gold and iron were clashing.

At the same time, the soil waves, moving at an extremely fast pace, carried such immense force that they outright flung Wu Tian away.

"Scourge!"

The core elders who had followed Wu Tian over saw this and their eyes blazed with fervor. They too took action in unison to suppress those thirty-six soil waves.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft!"

However, in an instant, everyone spat out blood, flew backward with heads tilting, and "bang, bang, bang," they fell to the ground!

"What?! The Sect Master and all the core elders were defeated in a single strike!"

"What on earth is beneath that's so formidable?!"

Seeing this scene, Elder Yuan and a few other elders who had rushed to the square before, as well as the Congyun Sect disciples maintaining order, all constricted their pupils, inhaled sharply, and their hearts thumped wildly.

Even the contestants were stunned at this moment.

Wu Shanhe, Liu Qingyu, Zhou Rong, Liu Yuanjie, and others all turned pale, their gazes unanimously falling on Qinchuan, their hearts filled with terror and unease.

Who exactly is this person?!

Is he really just a declining noble's son from the remote small town of Great Wilderness City?!

"Boom!"

After being sent flying, Wu Tian stabilized himself, and immediately, a more terrifying and powerful aura burst forth, seemingly enraged, ready to once again charge at the tumultuous soil waves.

"Stop!"

However, just at that moment, an old voice shaking with excitement came from the prohibited area of the Congyun Sect, astonishingly rebuking the current Sect Master of the Congyun Sect!

The next moment, a dreadful presence broke through the void in an instant, appearing in the area, and materialized as a withered old man with white hair.

"The Great Elder!"

Wu Tian and the elders from all sides constricted their pupils, having not expected the disturbance to be so great that it roused the reclusive Great Elder from his seclusion.

Yet the Great Elder paid them no heed. His gaze fell on Qinchuan, surrounded by the golden dragons, his eyes burning with excitement. Then, to everyone's shock, he bowed respectfully to Qinchuan and said, "The eighty-first Great Elder of the Congyun Sect pays homage to the master, eagerly welcoming the master's return!"

"..."

All around, it was as quiet as a grave, plunged into dead silence!

Everyone, from the current Sect Master Wu Tian of the Congyun Sect to all the high-ranked elders present, down to those Congyun Sect disciples maintaining the order of the exam, and even the contestants, were all with mouths agape and eyes wide, their faces a mixture of stupefaction and disbelief.
