Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 469 : Opening Thousand Fox Cave
"I warned you long ago that there are prohibitions in the Thousand Fox Cave. See, you wouldn't listen, insisting on forcing it open."
Qinchuan shook his head, it seemed he had predicted this situation, adopting an expression of disappointment akin to hating iron for not becoming steel.
"Fortunately, you took my words to heart and didn't rashly pour mana into it, otherwise, your Quasi-Emperor Realm might have fallen."
As Qinchuan spoke, he moved towards the altar. His body was shrouded in mist, with auroral light flowing, and his battle attire, made of spiritual energy, blossomed lushly around him, casting him in a hazy glow that gave off a sense of holiness and sanctity.
At this time, everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and their gazes toward Qinchuan turned strange, "This youngster, fully aware that the grand elder is of Quasi-Emperor Cultivation, still dares to be neither servile nor overbearing?"
"What exactly is his background?"
The people from Thousand Fox Mountain grew somewhat solemn, looking at Qinchuan with completely different eyes.
"You little brat, stop! Don't come any closer!"
Seeing Qinchuan approaching, Leng Han'er was the first to step forward and shout fiercely, wanting to take action again.
And it was at this moment, the grand elder Mei Qian'er finally spoke.
"Han'er, let him come over!"
"This..." Leng Han'er and Ling Yu'er, among others, looked at the grand elder in surprise, not understanding why she suddenly made such a decision?
But after Leng Han'er complied, she stepped aside to clear the path.
Qinchuan walked with his head held high and chest out. Even though he was only at the Dao Palace Realm, all the people present except for Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er were at least at the Holy's Realm, with Great Saints and Supreme Saints everywhere. Yet, he bore himself with equanimity, stepping step by step onto the altar above.
"How did you know when this Thousand Fox Cave would generate backlash?"
The grand elder's eyes blazed with sharp light, staring intently at Qinchuan, wanting to see right through him, but all she could see was a vast expanse of mist.
Her realm had broken through to the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and with her lineage from the Fox Clan, she far surpassed ordinary people in matters of the soul.
After she was backlashed by the Thousand Fox Mountain earlier, she suspected Qinchuan used some secret technique to completely conceal his cultivation level. She then deployed her Divine Sense secretly, attempting to probe the core of Qinchuan's strength.
But she was astounded to find that, under her Divine Sense, Qinchuan's actual strength was indeed at the Dao Palace Realm, no doubt about it.
However, beneath this veneer of the Dao Palace Realm, there seemed to be another terrifying and immense soul hidden.
That soul was so powerful that it gave her an overwhelming feeling of suffocation on the spot, like an ant looking up at a towering mountain, the pressure was oppressive.
She tried hard to see through what was hidden inside Qinchuan's body that made her feel the presence of danger.
But this terrifying aura was well concealed; if not for her Quasi-Emperor's Divine Sense and her tens of thousands of years steeped in soul mastery, she wouldn't even be able to sense the presence of danger.
That's why she let Qinchuan come over, allowing him to stand on the altar, because she had a feeling that Qinchuan had some profound connection and destiny with Thousand Fox Mountain.
"The Thousand Fox Cave was originally a shattered den of gods and demons, in Ancient Times, it was the dwelling place of the divine Nine-Tailed Fox from the Fox Clan. After the great war between gods and demons, the Nine-Tailed Fox perished, and the den was damaged in battle, resulting in this place full of countless holes.
After an era of reincarnation, your ancestor Yu Xu'er spent a great deal of effort to reopen this place, but at the same time, she planted a terrifying prohibition here. Without the method to lift this prohibition, attempting to break into this place with brute force is impossible, even for a Great Emperor."
At this moment, Mei Qian'er's face showed several traces of emotion, her eyes gleaming with incredulity.
"You... How do you know?"
Thousand Fox Cave was an ancient den of gods and demons, a secret known only to her within all of Thousand Fox Mountain. Not even the current Sect Leader Ling Yu'er, nor Mei Lin'er who had betrayed the sect before, were aware of it.
And now, it was unveiled by Qinchuan in a single statement.

She was, of course, aware of the prohibitions surrounding the Thousand Fox Cave, having believed that, now that she had obtained the Divine Blood Lotus, she would not need to force her way in. However, she had not anticipated that the ancestral prophecy handed down through the years would come to naught.
At this thought, something seemed to strike her, and a sharp light burst forth from her eyes.
"You have a way to open the Thousand Fox Cave?"
Qinchuan replied with a nonchalant smile, as if he had everything under control, "Since this son is aware of these matters, I naturally possess the secret technique to open the Thousand Fox Cave. However, after I open the cave, I will need to take one item from within."
"If you really can break the prohibition, you may take not just one, but ten or a hundred items from the treasures within!"
"Then watch closely!" Qinchuan said with an indifferent smile, "Observe how this son unravels the prohibition here!"
Having said that.
Qinchuan formed a complicated spell with his hands.
At that moment, within his Divine Sense, an Emperor Soul suddenly opened its eyes, shooting forth two golden divine beams. Divine light spilled from his forehead, resembling a bolt of lightning, and shot straight toward the largest cave opening in the center of the Thousand Fox Cave.
The divine light vanished instantly into the cave mouth enveloped by the misty spiritual energy.
However, after the divine light entered the cave, it was as if swallowed by a vast sea, and the dark cave mouth showed no sign of change.
"What's going on?"
"There's no change at all?"
To Leng Han'er and others, Qinchuan was an undeniable fraud. Seeing how respectfully the Supreme Elder treated him, they were quite displeased.
The crowd watched from a distance, not believing that Qinchuan would open the Thousand Fox Cave when even the Supreme Elder had failed.
Now, seeing Qinchuan's pretentious actions resulting in no change to the Thousand Fox Cave, Leng Han'er could no longer hold back and stepped forward.
Leng Han'er harrumphed, "Supreme Elder, this fellow has somehow deceived Xian'er and Huo'er to sneak up to Fox Mountain with ulterior motives. He cannot open the Thousand Fox Cave; we should still drive him off the mountain."
But no sooner had she finished speaking, another elder suddenly exclaimed in astonishment, "Look! It's moving! It's moving!"
Leng Han'er turned her gaze and indeed saw the spiritual energy around the main cave mouth in the center of the Thousand Fox Cave beginning to slowly surge — a sign that the prohibitions were starting to activate.
"How is this possible?"
"Can this youngster truly open the Thousand Fox Cave?"
All the elders looked at Qinchuan with startling realization.
"Puff—"
The spiritual energy at the cave mouth of the Thousand Fox Cave started to undulate slowly at first, but the movement grew increasingly rapid.
Initially, the spiritual energy was like a gentle, meandering stream, but as the surging grew stronger it became like a rolling river, with massive waves crashing.
"Boom—"
Following a sound that shook heaven and earth, the spiritual energy from the several thousand cave openings in the Thousand Fox Cave reached its peak and exploded simultaneously.
After the spiritual energy dispersed, the true form of the Thousand Fox Cave was revealed - a golden cave gleaming, and the essence of gods and demons seeped out from within.
Clearly, this cave was indeed the dwelling of gods and demons.
At this moment, everyone was stunned, gawking at Qinchuan in disbelief; they had not expected that he would truly be able to open the Thousand Fox Cave.
