Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 471 Portrait
"This...."
"How is this possible?"
"Why would your portrait appear here?"
The people of Thousand Fox Mountain looked on with a mix of shock and suspicion, their gazes towards Qinchuan becoming indescribably strange and doubtful.
The Thousand Fox Cave was the forbidden territory of each generation of Thousand Fox Mountain, sealed by the ancestors many years ago, and no one from later generations had ever entered it.
They simply could not understand.
Why would there be a portrait of Qinchuan here?
Moreover, this portrait had been stored in the Thousand Fox Cave for hundreds of thousands of years, never once appearing in the world outside; it was impossible that Qinchuan had known of the portrait beforehand and then changed his appearance to come here.
Only at this moment did the elder Mei Qian'er's expression flicker, as if she had suddenly recalled something.
"You... you are..."

"It is rumored that our ancestor was once the war pet of a terrifying being, and this portrait has been hung here with great solemnity, so that man may well have been the ancestor's master. Could it be that you are the descendant of that terrifying being from back then?"
For hundreds of thousands of years, the inheritance of Thousand Fox Mountain had persisted, with Yu Xu'er not leaving behind any Divine Sense or other marks of Qinchuan, only some sporadic legends. Now Mei Qian'er speculated as so.
Upon hearing this, the elders of Thousand Fox Mountain were also stunned, exchanging looks of astonishment, their eyes turning to Qinchuan.
"No, I am not that person's descendant!"
Qinchuan shook his head, his demeanor utterly composed as he spoke slowly and deliberately, "I am that very person from back then. Yu Xu'er was merely one of my war pets!"
As he said this, Emperor Soul surged within Qinchuan, a tremendously vast and resolute power of Divine Consciousness emanating from his forehead, forcibly infusing into the Divine Sense of everyone present.
"You... you... you really are the master!"
Upon contacting this powerful Divine Consciousness, everyone was deeply shocked. There was a distinctive aura within this Divine Consciousness that instantly confirmed Qinchuan's identity.
"We welcome the master's return!" The women of Thousand Fox Mountain bowed down in respect.
Only Ji Huo'er still stood cheekily in front of Qinchuan, blinking her spirited large eyes in shock: "I knew Big Brother, you were no ordinary man, but to think you have lived for hundreds of thousands of years!"
"Hey, that's not right. If you've lived for hundreds of thousands of years, shouldn't you look different?"
"Then what should I look like?" Qinchuan smiled amiably, Ji Huo'er still dared to speak to him in such a manner after knowing his identity, which truly made Qinchuan see her in a new light.
"You should at least be an old man with a long beard by now, but you're clearly only in your teens, just a couple of years older than me!"
Ji Huo'er muttered, reaching out to pull at Qinchuan's chin as if to look for any disguise that Qinchuan might be using!
"Alright, everyone stand up. From now on you don't need to call me master; just call me Young Master Qin," Qinchuan waved his hand, disregarding the women of Thousand Fox Mountain, and walked towards the central altar.
"Retrieve!"
Qinchuan approached the altar and lightly spoke out, while simultaneously casting a spell with his hand.
With the spell cast, the altar seemed to awaken, and two intertwining forces burst forth explosively.
Soon after, a golden Fragment the size of a palm whooshed from above the altar and flew straight into Qinchuan's hand, which he then stored inside Dao Lotus.
Originally there had been two tremendous forces above the altar, and this golden Fragment was precisely one of the mysterious powers.
Originally.
The power within this cave, under the influence of two great forces, was intertwined and in a stable state. At this moment, Qinchuan suddenly took away one of the fragments, breaking the balance in the cave.
In an instant, the aura within the cave exploded, an overbearing and majestic presence burst forth. In a flash, the sky changed color, and countless divine and demonic intents surged within the cave. The world inside the cave was like a raging river and ocean, with towering waves crashing against the shores and sweeping across all directions, howling as they pressed down towards the people around.
"What's happening?"
"Why has the world within the cave suddenly gone out of control?"
Everyone's faces were stricken with terror, even the Great Saint-level powerhouses felt insignificant and feeble under this overwhelming presence, as if they were at the foot of a towering mountain.
Just as everyone was shocked, Qinchuan suddenly shouted.
"Xian'er, Huo'er, come forth!"
The two had been following Qinchuan the longest and were most obedient to his commands. In an instant, they stepped forward, positioning themselves on either side of Qinchuan.
After the two approached, the next moment, from above the altar, two fragments—one white and one red, both flickering with divine light—flew out again.
The two dazzling fragments flashed by and instantly entered the bodies of the two individuals.
After the red and white fragments entered the bodies of Ji Huo'er and Ling Xian'er, their bodies shook simultaneously. Soon after, they both began to emanate a misty spiritual energy. Luminance writhed and flowed at their sides, forming a light barrier around them.
Both fell into a meditative trance at the same time.
"What's going on here?"
The elders of Thousand Fox Mountain looked at the two with curiosity. Although they didn't understand what was happening, they knew in their hearts that the two must have received an extraordinary inheritance.
At this moment, Qinchuan spoke, answering the doubts in everyone's minds.
"These fragments are Divine Fragments. In ancient times, when the divine nine-tailed fox perished, its nine tails transformed into nine Divine Fragments.
Xian'er and Huo'er have respectively obtained the Fire Divine Trait and Soul Divine Trait left behind by the nine-tailed fox from Ancient Times!"
Before Qinchuan could finish speaking, the elders all inhaled sharply.
"What?"
"Divine Fragments!"
"Are these the legendary Divine Fragments? Divine Fragments exist in this era?"
A tempestuous wave stirred in the hearts of those from Thousand Fox Mountain. They were shocked and alarmed, their eyes wide open in disbelief.
Divine Fragments, what did that mean? It meant that Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er had received the inheritance of a god.
Receiving the inheritance of a god, the stuff of legends, meant that for those who inherit from a god, reaching the Great Emperor Realm was merely a matter of time. Breaking through to the Great Emperor and entering the rumored Divine Realm was no longer a fool's dream. It could be said that their path of cultivation would be smooth and unobstructed from then on.
At this moment, even the people of Thousand Fox Mountain couldn't stay calm, their eyes revealing a glow of envy and desire.
Finally, an elder couldn't hold back any longer and spoke softly.
"Young Master Qin, didn't you say that in ancient times, the divine nine-tailed fox transformed into nine Divine Fragments, leaving behind nine legacies? Now that Xian'er and Huo'er have each obtained one, then..."
Before such a great temptation, no one could remain composed.
Qinchuan, of course, understood what the person meant, and shook his head as he replied, "The remaining seven Divine Demon Fragments have already been inherited by Yu Xu'er!"
When Yu Xu'er discovered this Den of Divine Demons, she also gained the recognition of seven Divine Fragments and received their inheritance, leaving only the Fire Fragment and Soul Fragment behind.
Hearing this response, everyone felt a sense of disappointment. Although they guessed that the divine inheritance was likely gone, having Qinchuan's confirmation still left them disheartened.
Looking at Ling Xian'er and Ji Huo'er, who were still receiving the inheritance, enveloped in misty spiritual energy as if they were within Immortal Mist, everyone felt even more envious. They sighed inwardly at their fortune; having sought the Divine Blood Lotus, they happened to meet its former owner and established a relationship with it in advance, ultimately leading to their receiving the divine inheritance.
