Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 665: Grand Event
Qinchuan had learned that the Qinghui Holy Maiden was also an Immortal from the Upper Realm, and the fact that she was gathering strong figures here at this time must mean there was some special affair to address.
With the assembly of many strong beings, it was likely that some unusual news could be obtained, and he decided to go and investigate.
Following the information provided by the disciple of Tianji Sect, Qinchuan did not continue toward the outskirts of Fengdu City but shot towards a certain place at its center.
As he soared above Fengdu City, he easily noticed that in the center of the city, there was a place where the Immortal Mist was ethereal and Divine Qi was surging.
In the center of the ethereal Immortal Mist, there was a mansion, crystal clear and lustrous like jade, with the Great Dao intertwined and Runes densely packed.
This was a Space Artifact.
From the outside, the mansion did not seem large, but inside it hidden a different world altogether.
In Qinchuan's possession was also a Space Artifact, which was the Crossing Boat obtained when he traversed the Ocean.
However, the Crossing Boat could only be released on the water's surface.
Now, around the periphery of the Immortal Mist, figures flitted about, with strong beings continuously arriving, either tearing through the fabric of space from the skies above or riding on Immortal cranes and fierce beasts. Many of these were strong beings from the Upper Realm, coming to participate in the grand meeting of the Qinghui Holy Maiden.
Naturally, there was also no small number of native Great Emperors from the Divine Wilderness Continent.
Upon entering the mansion, it indeed revealed a world of its own.
Courtyards were layered upon each other, immensely grand; in Fengdu City, the entire void was filled with Demonic Qi and murderous aura, but here, Spiritual Energy lingered, pavilions and towers were like jade, the mist was like a veil, very pure, akin to a heavenly wonderland fallen into the center of a demonic land.
At first glance, Qinchuan noted that the quantity of powerful figures from the Divine Realm and the native Great Emperors from the Divine Wilderness Continent were roughly equal, approximately a hundred of each.
"Zhuge brother, I didn't expect you to be here as well?"
"Brother Wang, I certainly never imagined to meet you here, after our brief encounter in the Cangshan Domain years ago we each returned to our Sects. Now, thirty thousand years have passed, I did not expect that today we could meet once again!"
The Zhuge Family and Wang Family were situated at opposite ends of the Nanchi Continent and did not usually cross paths.
"This one is… the Green Sword Daoist from the Heavenly Mountain Domain, I didn't expect him to join in the excitement too!"
After entering the mansion, figures were scattered everywhere, with many strong beings greeting each other.
"Do you all know where this Qinghui Holy Maiden comes from?"
At that moment, a Great Emperor asked.
"I don't know. This Immortal appeared out of nowhere, with no prior news of her at all, very likely to have crossed over from another Continent."
Guessed a Great Emperor.
Qinchuan was inwardly musing: "How strange! These people from the Upper Realm clearly came for the Divine Wilderness Continent. The Divine Envoys in the Dongju Continent have long been in conflict beyond resolution, yet these Divine Envoy powerhouses from the Nanchi Continent remain immobile as mountains?"
Qinchuan indeed knew the purpose of their visit to the Lower Realm.
But, Qinchuan then came to an understanding.
The situations in Nanchi Continent, Northern Cold Continent, and Western Gourd Continent differed from that of the Dongju Continent.
None of these three huge Continents had formed an empire large enough to influence the whole Continent.
This directly resulted in these Divine Envoys being unable to control a whole empire with ease, like in the Dongju Continent.
There were too many Sect Families and powers on the Nanchi Continent; these Divine Envoys from the Divine Realm, without absolute certainty, would not expose themselves prematurely.
As Qinchuan walked, he listened to the discussions among many strong beings.

Such a grand event attracted at the very least Great Emperors, with attendees from various domains of the Nanchi Continent and even envoys from the Divine Realm.
He gathered many valuable pieces of information.
For instance, he now had a clear understanding of the current situation in each of the big domains of the Nanchi Continent.
"Do you all know into whose hands the eighteen keys of Devil Mountain have fallen?"

Someone brought up the focal point of everyone's journey.
"Recently, a pair of keys surfaced in the Spirit Dragon Holy Land of the Heavenly Mountain Domain and it seems they ended up in the hands of Wu Xin and the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom," a bulky Great Emperor said from within the crowd. This was none other than Yan Zhu.
"The Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom? Are you talking about the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom from the Dongju Continent?" another Great Emperor asked with puzzlement.
"How could something from our Nanchi Continent fall into the hands of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom?" a powerful figure questioned, not understanding the twist.
"I don't know, but this message is absolutely accurate. The Spirit Dragon Holy Land, no... rather, all three sects of the Heavenly Mountain Domain have now submitted to the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom. What's infuriating is that our Nanchi Continent's supreme treasures have been taken by the monkeys of the Dongju Continent!"
Yan Zhu deliberately stoked resentment against the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom while saying this.
"Gentlemen, in my opinion, when the time comes, we should first suppress the cultivators from the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom before entering Devil Mountain!"
The atmosphere was instantly charged by Yan Zhu's words, causing several Great Emperors to echo in agreement, indicating they would take action against any cultivators from the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom they encountered.
"Big brother, it seems we're not too welcome here, huh?" Ji Huo'er said with a sly look in her eyes, speaking through a transmission.
"It's nothing but a bunch of cowards huddling together for warmth," Qinchuan shrugged indifferently, ready to crush any who dared obstruct his path.
The crowd quickly moved on from the topic of the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom.
And Qinchuan also learned from the crowd about the whereabouts of the other keys of Devil Mountain, aside from the ones he and Wu Xin possessed.
According to what the crowd said, of the family sects that held ten keys a hundred thousand years ago, apart from the Tai Sect of the Donghuai Domain and the Lu Family of the Molang Domain which had declined and perished, causing a change of hands for those keys, the remaining eight were still with their original sect families.
What surprised Qinchuan was that the three new pairs of keys that appeared over the last hundred thousand years did so in pairs, without ever being separated.
"Pairs appearing together!"
Qinchuan understood what this meant.
In the past, because the first five pairs of keys were scattered across the Divine Wilderness Continent, each time they were discovered it was always just one key, hence the five pairs ended up in the hands of ten different powers.
The fact that the three new pairs of keys appeared together indicated that they had always been kept intact and had never been separated!
"This last pair of keys is very likely to have been brought to the Divine Wilderness Continent by Mo Yu from the Underworld. If it wasn't for the unexpected emergence of Ye Yu, this pair of keys might have also appeared as a pair!"
At this moment, Qinchuan couldn't help but ponder to himself.
"Mo Yu came from the Underworld, encountered Ye Xuan, and Ye Yu devoured his parents. A matter that seemed clear-cut at first has become enigmatic again at this moment!"
Qinchuan felt that Mo Yu's arrival was not an accident but an inevitability, as if she had been on a mission all along.
His powerful soul instinctively sensed that the people from the family that controlled the three pairs of keys also had an unusual relationship with the Ghost Race.
To confirm his suspicions, he only needed to meet the Great Emperors who possessed the three pairs of keys.
According to the crowd, the three pairs of keys were obtained by the Evil Family, Gu Family, and Feng Family.
Unfortunately, none of the Great Emperors from these three big families participated in this grand event.
