Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 735: The Target

The retaliation led by the Jiang Family, along with the Ji Family, Liu Family, and the Jin Ling Holy Ground, came swiftly and retreated just as quickly.

However, the destruction and blow this caused to the Tianyuan Ancient Kingdom were immense.

In addition to the demise of the four Great Emperors such as Chi Hai and Liu Zong, the Burning Heaven Sect, Thousand Fox Mountain, Tianyuan Royal Family, and including the nine schools, six factions, and three holy grounds of the Nanchi Continent, more than a dozen Quasi-Emperor powerhouses fell in this battle.

This was all due to the actions of Jiang Chen and Ji Xuan.

The Jin Ling Goddess and Liu Fuyi hadn't made their move yet, and if they had, the damage might have been even greater.

Nonetheless, after the battle, Qinchuan's prestige reached its peak once again.

In just a few days, everyone in Tianqing City knew that several Upper Realm powerhouses set foot in the Lower Realm. Over a dozen Great Emperor powerhouses failed to stop them, but they were all suppressed by a single move from Qinchuan, the National Advisor.

Countless cultivators, upon learning the location of Qinchuan's mansion, went to the Qin Residence, hoping to meet Qinchuan.

But they were intercepted early on by strong practitioners arranged by Li Zhi.

In fact, Qinchuan was not in Tianqing City at the moment.

…

Thousand Fox Mountain, at the peak of a certain mountain.

The night sky was tranquil, with stars studding the heavens and a gentle, chilly breeze blowing by.

Qinchuan and Ji Huo'er sat shoulder to shoulder at the edge of a cliff.

Qinchuan's robes billowed, with the cold wind striking his face as if it were cut by a knife.

Ji Huo'er wasn't wearing her usual favorite fiery red spirit robe, instead, she wore plain clothes, gauzy fabric fluttering, resembling a desolate snow plum in bloom.

Ji Huo'er hugged her arms tightly, curling up in one spot, appearing very forlorn and helpless.

"Big brother, there's a rumor in the Mortal World that when people die, they become stars in the sky. Is it true?"

Qinchuan fell silent.

Among those dozen Quasi-Emperor powerhouses who died in that great battle.

There included Ji Huo'er's and Ling Xian'er's grandmother, the Sect Leader of Thousand Fox Mountain—Ling Yu'er.

When they received this news, Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er had just emerged from the Secret Room, and they did not believe it.

But after receiving confirmation personally from Qinchuan, Ji Huo'er could no longer bear it. She collapsed, bursting into tears and fled.

Ling Yu'er was their grandmother, and Ji Huo'er, who was raised by her grandmother since she was young, had profound feelings for Ling Yu'er and found it hard to accept the news.

That day, when Qinchuan saw her running away silhouette, his heart was inexplicably moved.

He knew that despite Ji Huo'er's seemingly quirky and lively demeanor, in reality, she was a sentimental and sensitive person.

"I know all this is nothing more than wishful thinking by the common folk of the Mortal World," Ji Huo'er whispered weakly to herself: "After death, everyone must go to the Land of Reincarnation to be reborn. And reincarnation is to completely sever the past, with no entanglement with the previous life."

At this point, she suddenly became agitated, "Those bastards, they... they even destroyed grandmother's True Spirit, now she can't even enter the cycle of reincarnation!" Tears fell from Ji Huo'er's eyes, full of sorrow.

After a long while, Qinchuan finally sighed deeply.

"Death is inevitable for everyone, this is an unchanging rule under the Heavenly Dao since ancient times."

Ever since he witnessed the Immortal Path of Death in the Ancient Realm and saw countless corpses of gods, the once invincible beings like the Azure Dragon, the Undying Bird, and the Demon Charm dissipating in the torrents of history, his understanding of death deepened profoundly.

Ji Huo'er looked up at the sky, murmuring to herself again.

"Big brother, do you know that this place is called Stellar Observation Cliff, the highest point of Thousand Fox Mountain.

When I was very young, grandmother used to bring me here to identify the stars in between her cultivation.

```

At that time, my grandma told me that the stars in the sky are cultivators who have turned into stars after they died," Ji Huo'er said with a wry smile.

"Big brother, do you know? I almost believed it at the time!" Ji Huo'er said, smiling bitterly.

"When I got a little older, grandma taught me how to cultivate. Cultivating the body was very difficult, so she would personally take me here to practice..."

Ji Huo'er began to recount those beautiful memories from her childhood, and Qinchuan had a rare free night, quietly listening to Ji Huo'er's narration.

Suddenly, a chilling cold wind blew by, and Ji Huo'er shivered, suddenly extending her hands and tightly hugging Qinchuan's arm, clinging to it as if afraid that Qinchuan would suddenly disappear.

"Big brother, I'm so cold, I'm so scared!"

"Huo'er, I..."

Qinchuan had long noticed Ji Huo'er's unusual behavior and understood her feelings.

"Huo'er, I really love my wife, her name is Luo Ling'er."

This sentence emerged in Qinchuan's mind.

But, in the end, he did not say it.

Ji Huo'er was too sentimental. Previously in Mount Sumeru, she had not wanted to kill those who had tried to rob her.

Now, having just lost a loved one, she could not endure another big blow.

"Big brother, it's getting late. I'm going to go back to my room to rest, you should also go back early," Ji Huo'er said after sensing the conflict and voice in Qinchuan's heart as she took a deep breath and returned to her usual tone.

She understood moderation and did not continue to entangle Qinchuan.

As Ji Huo'er's figure grew farther and farther away, Qinchuan ultimately called out to her.

"Huo'er, do you believe in resurrection from death?" freēnovelkiss.com

"Resurrection? How is that possible? Grandma's true spirit was destroyed, and her soul has already entered the Immortal Burial Site!" Ji Huo'er turned her head, asking in confusion.

"You know I have a previous life's physical body, but you don't know yet how this physical body from my previous life came into being. Today, I will tell you some secrets!"

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light flashed unconsciously in Ji Huo'er's eyes.

Qinchuan started to narrate the past.

He talked about how he met Luo Ling'er a million years ago, how she was killed, and how he went to heaven and earth searching for a way to resurrect her, how he found the Nine Revolutions Method, and Qinchuan narrated everything one by one.

Finally, Qinchuan spoke of the elusive Immortal Path and the path of death he had witnessed with his own eyes.

Ji Huo'er listened intently, becoming more and more excited towards the end.

"Big brother, are you saying there's a chance for Sister Ling'er to be resurrected? Then doesn't that mean grandma might also..." Ji Huo'er's eyes suddenly lit up, her expressive eyes shimmering with excitement as she looked at Qinchuan.

"Yes, Sect Leader Ling Yu'er has a chance to be resurrected. The day I resurrect Ling'er, I will certainly rescue Sect Leader Yu'er as well. I believe that day will not be too far off; you will see your grandma again very soon!" Qinchuan said firmly.

In Qinchuan's plans, not just Ling Yu'er, but including Chi Hai and everyone he had followed, loved, and befriended in these nine cycles of reincarnation, he would rescue them all at that time.

"Big brother, I, I!"

Ji Huo'er suddenly overwhelmed by a mix of joy and sorrow, found herself at a loss for words and was about to kneel.

A stream of spiritual energy flowed from Qinchuan's hand, supporting her and preventing her from kneeling.

"It's late, go back now."

"Thank you, big brother!" Ji Huo'er did not kneel in the end but left with a bow, and the gloom and pain on her face were swept away, replaced by hope and excitement.

Her life suddenly had a new goal again, which was to follow by Qinchuan's side until stepping onto that legendary Immortal Path.
