The Great Qin: Starting with marrying Jingni, I began my quest for immortality.

The golden light was dazzling. An Qisheng stared intently and finally saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the golden light.

The raging fire was caused by one person?

After An Qisheng learned the truth, he was stunned for a long time.

Then, a sharp glint appeared in his eyes.

Although it is unknown who this person is or why he was able to ignite the long-dormant subterranean fire in Tang Valley, Tiantai Mountain is a sacred site belonging to their sect that has existed since the time of his master, He Shang Zhangren. In other words, this is his territory.

This person didn't pay a visit; instead, he came directly to his territory, triggering the power that originally belonged to him. He had every reason to kill the other party.

An Qisheng's thoughts flashed by, and in the next instant, he suddenly made his move.

He struck out with his palm, and the powerful force of his palm flew through the air.

This single move alone demonstrated An Qisheng's formidable strength.

He far surpassed the Innate Realm. Although he was not a member of the Hundred Schools of Thought, his strength had indeed reached the Grandmaster Realm.

Even among grandmasters, there are very few.

Grandmasters are the true pillars of this world, the real experts.

An Qisheng possesses master-level strength, so it's not surprising that he enjoys a great reputation among the many alchemists in the Qilu region.

However, the palm strike that An Qisheng was quite proud of dissolved just as it was about to reach the figure in the golden light.

It was as if they were melted by the golden light and the scorching flames.

"Ok?"

An Qisheng frowned.

In the next instant, instead of waiting to die, he darted out.

An ever-increasing power surged from his body.

Another palm strike, this time not delivered from a distance.

Instead, it landed fiercely on the golden light. An Qisheng's power surged, drawing out the vast power of heaven and earth within Tiantai Mountain. The strike of a grandmaster was extremely powerful.

In particular, An Qisheng was no ordinary grandmaster; his strength was among the top in the world of grandmasters.

Unfortunately, such a powerful attack still had no effect whatsoever.

Golden light surrounded the figure, giving it an aura of invulnerability. Even though An Qisheng used all his skills, he still couldn't break through the defense.

In the time that followed, An Qisheng used every means at his disposal.

The spells and formations were all designed to break through the defenses, and they even went so far as to shout at the figure in the golden light, but it still had no effect.

Even if the other party remained as still as wood or stone, it seemed as if they hadn't heard An Qisheng's words at all.

In addition, An Qisheng was also unable to stop the other party from absorbing the earth fire.

Time passes slowly.

Golden light filled the Valley of Tang, and the powerful force hidden beneath the ground at 610 continued to surge forth, rushing towards the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground.

At first, An Qisheng thought it would only be a matter of a short while.

The results showed that this situation persisted for a long time without any sign of stopping.

This made him realize even more just how powerful the force hidden beneath Tang Valley truly was.

He suddenly realized that he didn't know as much about Tiantai Mountain and Tanggu as he had imagined.

In the past, he only knew that there was powerful earth fire hidden in Tang Valley, which could be used to refine pills.

Unexpectedly, this subterranean fire could be absorbed by humans.

Moreover, it seems to be more than just subterranean fire.

This force is magnificent and vast.

Thinking about this, An Qisheng felt somewhat upset and angry.

This power, this destiny, originally belonged to him, but now it has been taken away by someone else.

Unable to break through the defenses, An Qisheng chose to stay here.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye.

Over the course of several days, golden light flashed, and power continuously surged from the ground, flowing into the figure's body.

Until this day.

The golden light gradually dissipated, and the power surging from the ground weakened.

An Qisheng immediately snapped to attention, realizing what was about to happen, and quickly looked ahead.

Chapter 395 Raising a Hand to Suppress

This is your chance!

Seeing the golden light disappear, An Qisheng realized where the opportunity lay. He immediately channeled all his power and attacked again. In a short while, he arrived in front of the figure and launched another attack.

With the golden light no longer obstructing the way and no powerful force surging from the ground, An Qisheng easily arrived in front of the figure.

Just as his attack was about to hit his opponent.

Suddenly, the figure sitting cross-legged on the ground opened its eyes.

With just a glance, An Qisheng immediately felt as if he had been struck by a grave blow.

He seemed to see a god from the heavens above, who merely opened his eyes and glanced at him, and this mortal was severely injured.

"retreat!"

This was An Qisheng's first thought, and also his only thought at that moment.

He quickly withdrew and backed away, creating some distance between himself and the enemy.

Once he was sure he was far enough away, he stopped and landed, trying to calm the terrible situation inside his body.

"who are you?"

Jiang Chuan looked at the old man in front of him and asked calmly.

As he spoke, a sharp aura emanated from him, locking onto the person in front of him.

An Qisheng immediately felt his aura being locked onto by the person in front of him. Considering that the other party had severely injured him with just a glance, he knew perfectly well that the person in front of him was a true powerhouse whom he could not handle.

However, this is Tiantai Mountain after all, and it's our own territory.

It would be unreasonable for him not to say anything since the other party had trespassed on this place.

So he spoke up and replied to Jiang Chuan: "I am An Qisheng. This place is my training ground. Who are you, sir? And why are you so skilled here?"

"Trespassing?"

Jiang Chuan sensed the hostility in An Qisheng's words. Earlier, when he was absorbing the power of the Fusang Divine Tree contained in the earth's veins, he was not actually as ignorant of the outside world as he had imagined.

He had long since discovered An Qisheng's existence, but at that time, he was focused on refining the power of the Fusang Divine Tree and had no time to pay attention to him.

Upon hearing the other person's words and learning who they were, Jiang Chuan was surprised.

Before coming here, he had thought of An Qisheng, but he did not expect to meet him here directly.

However, he would not show favor to the old man just because he was An Qisheng, simply because he had sensed the other party's killing intent earlier.

Upon hearing An Qisheng's words, Jiang Chuan immediately retorted, "As far as I know, Tiantai Mountain does not have a real master. Even if it does, it is because it is the official power of the Qi Kingdom."

"You don't actually think that just because you're cultivating in the mountains, this whole mountain belongs to you, do you?"

"How many years have you lived, and how many years has this mountain existed?"

“In the past, figures like Taigong Wang and Peng Zu came to this mountain and cultivated themselves there. Could it be that they also trespassed?”

Hearing Jiang Chuan's impolite words, An Qisheng was immediately angry, but he still explained to Jiang Chuan, "In the time of Jiang Taigong and Peng Zu, this mountain naturally had no owner, but since the time of my master, the Old Man of the River, this mountain has been the place of cultivation for our Fangxian Dao."

“So, in the end, you’re just people who have taken over someone else’s place, aren’t you?” Jiang Chuan said to An Qisheng.

“You are hostile towards me simply because I came here and drew upon the power hidden underground. You believe that this is yours, but I have taken it away.”

Jiang Chuan knew exactly what An Qisheng was thinking and directly revealed his true thoughts.

An Qisheng remained silent.

"Humph!"

Seeing the other party's expression, Jiang Chuan immediately knew that the other party had tacitly agreed.

He was too lazy to explain further.

Should I tell them that my relationship with the Fusang Divine Tree is that I came here only because I received the Fusang Divine Tree's blessing, and that I took away the power they had hidden here?

Obviously, even if such an explanation were given, An Qisheng would not believe it.

He only believed that the power hidden in Tang Valley belonged to him. Even though he could not extract it, he believed that because his master had occupied Tiantai Mountain many years ago, all the treasures in the mountain should belong to him.

“Your Excellency is quite domineering. I admit that I am no match for you, and I cannot persuade you with words alone.”

"But I will let you know that there are many masters from various schools of thought in this world, and blind tyranny will not be of any use."

"Hmm?" Jiang Chuan raised an eyebrow upon hearing An Qisheng's words. "You brought up the Hundred Schools of Thought out of the blue. Do you mean you want someone from those schools to uphold justice for you?"
