Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 660: Intermediate Stage of a Saint

After resolving the matter with the master of the Xuanhuang Sect, Qinchuan did not delay.

He then led his people to the remaining branch sects.

This time, with Liu Zong leading the way and tearing directly through space, they arrived at the nearest branch sect of the Xuanhuang Sect in less than an hour.

At this time, these branch sects were still unaware that Liu Zong had already submitted to Qinchuan. Seeing the arrival of an old ancestor from the main sect, they scurried to welcome him into their sect's inner regions, and then, with the coercion of three Great Emperors, the branch sects could only submit obediently.

Within just over ten days, Qinchuan had brought all nine sects of Xuanhuang and six gates of Heavenly Sword under his control, and as for the two branches of the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, they had already submitted following the demise of Ye Yu.

Thus, the entire Heavenly Mountain Domain was completely pacified, and Tianyuan Nation had finally established a foothold in the Nanchi Continent.

Afterward, Qinchuan had Chi Hai and Mei Qian'er transport materials for constructing teleportation formations, and sent them to the Western Gourd Continent and the Northern Cold Continent, respectively. They were to visit the sects he had left behind in the past, construct Teleportation Arrays, and connect the four great continents.

Although both were now Great Emperor experts, Qinchuan, taking a lesson from Yu Qilin's previous experience, specifically admonished them to be cautious, and from the Dao Lotus space, he bestowed upon them two divine artifacts.

With the protection of divine artifacts, they would hopefully be able to escape unscathed even in the event of an accident.

After expressing their gratitude, the two accepted their orders and set out.

In the following period, Qinchuan did not venture out but stayed in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land for quiet cultivation and reflection.

Although he had already experienced several breakthroughs in the realm of saints, each breakthrough brought new insights, and with the Innate Body now somewhat accomplished, he made further progress.

At the same time, the army of Tianyuan Nation was continuously moving toward the Nanchi Continent. With the convenience of the Teleportation Array, in just a few days, the territories of the Heavenly Mountain Domain saw countless cultivators and armies arriving from Tianyuan Nation.

At this moment, however, Li Zhi felt tremendous pressure.

As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer than to hold. Now, Li Zhi faced the challenge of how to maintain control over the vast territories of Tianyuan.

Especially now that the Xuanhuang Sect and Heavenly Sword Gate were still intact.

It was easier to manage the branch sects without Great Emperor-level experts, and they were more controllable, but those principal branch sects with Great Emperor experts were not as easy to maneuver.

While these Great Emperor-level experts had submitted to Qinchuan, they might not necessarily submit to Tianyuan.

If Qinchuan were ever to leave, these Great Emperors might very well disregard orders from Li Zhi's Tianyuan, pretending compliance but acting otherwise.

Therefore, Li Zhi did not continue to expand the territories without limit.

On one hand, while Qinchuan was still in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, he ordered the cultivators and forces of the nine sects and six gates to withdraw fully within their sects, and all the external cities and Mysterious Crystal veins were taken over by his own people.

On the other hand, Tianyuan's Great Emperor, Li Kaitian personally took charge, uniting those branch sects from the two sects without Great Emperor-level experts—as these were the easiest to control. He appealed to their emotions and reasoned with them, swaying these branch sects towards aligning with Tianyuan.

However, the good news was that with the news of Tianyuan Nation's battles in the Nanchi Continent spreading to the Dongju Continent, countless cultivators and experts yearned to join their cause.

Initially, the remnants of forces such as Great Yan among the Three Kingdoms frequently instigated rebellions in the Dongju Continent. Upon hearing this news, the rebels' morale plummeted rapidly, and a large number of cultivators, unwilling to continue fighting amongst themselves, surrendered to Tianyuan, all expressing their willingness to battle overseas.

Dongju Continent was weak, and its power paled in comparison to that of the Nanchi Continent. If they could defeat Nanchi, it would be the greatest honor for the sons and daughters of all regions in Dongju.

At this moment, no longer divided between Tianyuan, Taiyuan, Jiuxiang, or Great Yan, there was now only one Dongju Continent. A fragmented Dongju had unexpectedly united into a single force.

While the power of Tianyuan Nation continued to expand, the internal pressures also lessened significantly.

This strengthened Tianyuan Nation's control over Heavenly Mountain Domain even more.

Two months later.

Tianyuan Nation had formally taken over all the influence and assets of the Three Great Sects, but the sects had operated within Heavenly Mountain Domain for countless years, and their underground power was not so easily eradicated.

Especially since Tianyuan Nation itself was a foreign power, – actions were never that convenient.

However, all that had happened was already enough.

That day, Qinchuan finally emerged from seclusion.

The two months of quiet cultivation allowed him to advance his cultivation, successfully breaking through to the intermediate stage of the Holy's Realm.

Of course, the greatest gain was not the breakthrough in realm cultivation but a deeper understanding and enlightenment of his Innate Body.

After coming out of seclusion, the first thing Qinchuan did was to gather everyone, preparing to hold a congregation and teach.

He naturally understood the current predicament faced by Tianyuan Nation.

After all, Dongju Continent was only the weakest of the Four Great Continents, and Tianyuan Nation was originally just a quarter of it.

The rapid expansion of territories led to a swift depletion of Tianyuan Nation's talents and resources, making it difficult for the nation to control the entire Dongju Continent, plus an even more challenging Heavenly Mountain Domain.

All of these matters had to be dealt with slowly.

But he also felt more and more that he didn't have much time left to spend on the Divine Wilderness Continent. In a few years, he would head to the Divine Realm, and he wanted to strengthen Tianyuan as much as possible while he could.

Because Qinchuan's reputation had already spread throughout Dongju Continent, news of Qinchuan teaching spread across the entire continent, and countless cultivators traveled through teleportation formations to come to Spirit Dragon Holy Land to hear his Dao Magic.

The number of people who came to listen to the teachings was so great that they filled the entire Spirit Dragon Holy Land.

Qinchuan also invited the elders and Great Emperors from each branch of the Three Great Sects.

These Great Emperors, having witnessed Qinchuan's terrifying soul and knowing his background, naturally understood the significance of his teachings and came one after another.

In contrast, the Supreme Saint Level elders and cultivators of the various great sects looked down upon Qinchuan, a mere Holy's Realm youth, with disdain, and actually, half of the Supreme Saint Experts didn't even bother to come.

Qinchuan paid no mind to this; their absence was their loss.

This time, Qinchuan's teaching lasted a full two months.

During these two months, the whole Spirit Dragon Holy Land was radiant with holy light, with the light of cultivators' breakthroughs flickering continuously.

Cultivators kept entering meditation for enlightenment and breaking through their realms.

In this session of teachings, almost all the cultivators successfully broke through a minor realm, and quite a few talented ones, sitting at the front, made consecutive breakthroughs, advancing two or even three realms within the span of two months.

Qinchuan began his teachings from the basics, from Dao Magic to Heavenly Dao, meticulously detailing everything, catering to everyone from the Meridian Opening Realm to the Great Emperor Realm.

Supreme Saint Great Emperor Experts also gained insights and a deeper understanding of Dao Magic.

Initially, the Supreme Saint Great Saint Experts of the Three Great Sects regarded Qinchuan with disdain, thinking he only leveraged the pressure of a Great Emperor to make their ancestors submit. After this session of teachings, everyone genuinely submitted.

At the same time, they expressed great regret for their fellow sect members who did not come to listen to the teachings.
