Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 772 - Storm Gathering
```
"This person is too cruel! To think he used a ruse to send so many people to their deaths!"
Ji Huo'er had not yet recovered from the shock of the moment.
"He's not wrong, the cultivators he sought out mostly ran into some trouble, and they all desperately need to increase their strength.
Now an Ancient Divine Heritage is right before their eyes, and it might even be possible to acquire an Ancient Divine Artifact. They have no reason to give up.
Even if the information about the Divine Tomb backfiring on everyone was leaked, these people would still rush in without hesitation."
Qinchuan whispered.
After Mo Wujie left, Qinchuan and the others found a place to stay for a while in the Black Tower Space.
Most of the people at the Black Tower gathering were invited and were supposed to keep the information from the meeting confidential.
But.
The next day.
The news of an Ancient Divine Tomb within the Yuchu Mountain Range quickly spread throughout the streets and alleys of Yuchu City.
Someone had intentionally leaked the news.
"Hey, have you heard? Buried in the depths of the Yuchu Mountain Range is an Ancient Divine Tomb, and a Divine Heritage will emerge in the world!"
"Isn't that so? I heard that there's not only Divine Heritage but also an Ancient Divine Artifact. If someone could get their hands on one artifact and perceive the Dao Magic of the divine spirit, wouldn't breaking through to the Emperor Realm be a sure thing?"
"Yes, I heard that the Divine Tomb will open on the seventh day of the seventh month. By then, the Yuchu Mountain Range will certainly be bustling with excitement."
"The seventh day of the seventh month, isn't that tomorrow?!"
The news of the Spiritual Treasures appearing on the seventh day of the seventh month had long been circulating, and now, with the added detail of the Divine Tomb appearing, everyone believed it without a doubt.
A large number of cultivators had even started to set off, preparing to spend the night in the Yuchu Mountain Range, so they could enter the Divine Tomb at the first opportunity when it opened the next day.
But.
In the afternoon, another explosive piece of news spread widely throughout Yuchu City.
"Disaster! Disaster! The Divine Tomb in the Yuchu Mountain Range is a trap!"
"What do you mean? Give us more details."
"When the Divine Tomb in the Yuchu Mountain Range opens, it needs to absorb a large amount of Spiritual Power and Divine Soul Power to open successfully. If you enter the Yuchu Mountain Range tomorrow, you'll be sucked dry!"
"This doesn't sound like a trap, does it? Since ancient times, the emergence of secret realms always comes with heaven-defying dangers. If you want heritage and divine artifacts without any chance and danger, then what kind of treasures are you looking for?"
"Exactly. Cultivation is about defying heaven and seeking treasures in secret realms is about wavering between life and death. If you know the danger and are afraid to go, then I advise you to stay in your sect for the rest of your life and quietly cultivate."
Hearing this news, many people were unconcerned.
They were already prepared to face the dangers.
On this day, the news of the Divine Tomb's backlash spread throughout the entire city of Yuchu.
But just as Mo Wujie said, these cultivators did not consider giving up, and their enthusiasm for the Divine Tomb didn't wane.
With the temptation of the Divine Heritage and Ancient Divine Artifacts, even the cultivators from the Upper Realms couldn't resist, let alone those from the Lower Realms.
On the sixth day of the seventh month.
This night, the moon was bright, and the stars sparse.
Qinchuan sat in his room in quiet cultivation, with stillness spread all around.
Through the window, one could see the half-moon in the night sky, and occasionally a breeze would blow by, giving the years a serene appearance.
Suddenly, Qinchuan opened his eyes, his gaze sharp as lightning, emitting a blazing light as he looked toward a mass of darkness in the distance.

"I thought you wouldn't come," she said.
"Sigh!"
A sound of deflation emanated from the darkness, then a graceful figure appeared.
This figure was none other than Wu Xing Fairy. She stood in the corner, a towering figure with curves in all the right places, emitting a soft radiant glow. She had an otherworldly air about her, as if she was above the mundane world.
Her delicate features had an indescribable aura, her eyes misted over with a faint watery haze, lips and teeth a striking red. The azure long bow in her hands was drawn, Spiritual Energy transforming into condensed arrow feathers, aiming straight at Qinchuan.
"How did you discover this concealment technique, the 'Invisibility Traceless' of the Undead Race?"
"The concealment technique of the Undead Race is indeed formidable. It's primarily about suppressing one's Divine Soul Aura and integrating one's physical body with the surroundings, making it difficult for other cultivators to detect.
In simpler terms, it deceives the Divine Sense of others, leading them to believe there's no one here.
But under absolute perception of the Divine Soul, all your deception and changes are futile."
Qinchuan's face was filled with confidence and pride.
"You, fellow, with only Supreme Saint Cultivation Level, somehow always manage to give off an unfathomable impression."
Wu Xing Fairy had her long bow fully drawn, the azure arrow feathers flickering continuously.
Clearly, she hadn't given up on the idea of killing Qinchuan.
But at that moment, a hint of hesitation appeared in her eyes, borne from the mystique of Qinchuan.
"Your arrow has been pointed at me for more than twenty breaths, are you so certain it can come close to my body?" Qinchuan's gaze was filled with mockery.
Wu Xing Fairy became even more hesitant, seemingly gauging the likelihood of her ability to overpower Qinchuan with a single strike.
After a long while, she exhaled deeply.
The Spiritual arrows in her hand turned into specks of light, completely dissipating into the void. freёweɓnovel.com
She lacked the confidence to kill Qinchuan with a single shot.
Then, Wu Xing Fairy swayed gracefully, moving sideways out of the way.
"I'm very curious about what secrets you carry, why they elicit such a strange feeling in me," she declared, standing in midair, her gaze intent on Qinchuan.
Although she hadn't given up on overpowering Qinchuan, at the crucial moment, a strange sensation surged in her heart, stopping her.
Just now, her arrows had hesitated to launch.
Part of her reluctance was her lack of confidence in a fatal blow, but more importantly, when her Spiritual arrows were ready, that strange feeling in her heart rose abruptly again.
That feeling was very peculiar and marvelous.
She really wanted to kill Qinchuan, but her physical body instinctively resisted.
Initially, during the battle at the Demon Sea Island, a slight feeling had emerged in her heart, but back then the sensation wasn't strong, merely planting an inexplicable seed deep within her.
Later on, at the Spirit Dragon Holy Land, that seed began to sprout.
After the trip to the Ancient Realm, upon learning of Qinchuan's death, the seed in her heart blossomed completely, breaking through the soil.
That's why, after they fought over the divine egg and she was successful, seeing Qinchuan fall into the Charm Demon Pond, she remained on the mountaintop, watching from a distance until he emerged from the water again, before she left.
Just now, if she were to follow her usual principles, regardless of whether she could overpower him or not, she would have taken action decisively without so much hesitation.
"Likewise, I am curious about the secrets you carry. How about an exchange? You tell me your secrets, and I will reciprocally share mine," Qinchuan suggested with interest, looking at Wu Xing Fairy.
