Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: The Birth of Zhao Gongming

"Is there something you need?"

Qin Jun swept his gaze around the creatures holding their Dust Brushes, asking as he scanned the crowd. By his estimation, there were over a hundred beings, all looking at him with eagerness in their eyes.

One of the creatures, dressed in black and middle-aged, was the first to clasp his hands together and say, "Young Master, I can see that you possess a divine talent and have just had a breakthrough. Why not come visit my place? I will certainly treat you and your companions well."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the rest of the beings began to extend their invitations one after another.

"Come to our side, we reside in a large world nearby."

"Young Master, would you be interested in being a guest elder at our sect?"

"Your small sect? It’s better to come to my clan. We can offer you the treatment of a guest elder and help your cultivation reach that of a Golden Immortal of Daluo."

"Golden Immortal of Daluo? I can recommend Young Master to be a disciple of a Great Immortal of Daluo!"

Listening to the invitations from these creatures, Qin Jun’s expression turned strange.

Qiang Liang’s mouth twitched, realizing they came to recruit Qin Jun, not to fight.

Patriarch Bodhi shook his head and smiled, a bunch of odd creatures wanting to recruit a formidable dragon?

Qin Jun responded indifferently, "I am not interested, all of you may leave."

He scanned the crowd. There were not many who gave off a powerful sense of danger, which meant they were not particularly strong.

To take refuge with him was one thing, but to try to recruit? That would never happen in a lifetime!

"Young Master, when you’re out and about, it’s always good to have another friend to make things easier. May I know your name?" the man in black asked urgently, prompting nods of agreement from the other creatures.

Qin Jun replied coolly, "Heavenly Emperor of Qin."

Heavenly Emperor of Qin!

The creatures exchanged looks, feeling the name seemed familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before.

"Could it be the Heavenly Emperor of Qin who killed Feng Wuheng and Yi Han?"

A creature with the head of a dog and body of a man cried out, shocking the crowd. His words made everyone’s faces change dramatically, and they rapidly retreated.

When they looked at Qin Jun and his two companions again, their eyes were filled with fear.

Indeed, just like in the legends, the Heavenly Emperor of Qin was very young, accompanied by a sturdy man and an old Taoist...

With this realization, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.

No wonder Qin Jun was so indifferent – they were simply not in his league.

Thinking this, the creatures turned tail and fled, no longer daring to speak with Qin Jun, each escaping as fast as they could, terrified that Qin Jun might order his subordinates to take their lives.

Once they had gone, Patriarch Bodhi said with a laugh, "Your Majesty’s talent is something that everyone would want to recruit."

Qin Jun smiled slightly, not bothering to argue.

"Let’s move on; we have wasted enough time."

Qin Jun looked towards the bright light deep in the starry sky and smiled. "The Taiyi Sanxian is now achieved."

Next, it was time to summon God and Demon and go straight for the Yellow Dragon!

"Good."

Patriarch Bodhi sensed Qin Jun’s fighting spirit and nodded with a smile, continuing to control the Dust Brush flying towards the Ancient Immortal Realm.

And so, the Dust Brush continued its flight.

Qin Jun sat in meditation, his hands crossed in front of his chest, starting to ponder.

Two chances to specifically summon God and Demon!

Whom should he summon?

Another ancestor from the Witch Clan?

No, what if both of them decided to flee together?

The ancestors of the Witch Clan were too unpredictable, and they even founded the Witch Clan. If it were just Qiang Liang, it would be manageable, but if another ancestor were to join, might they consider re-establishing the Witch Clan?

"System, is Zhao Gongming capable of reaching the complete stage of entering the Holy Realm?"

Qin Jun asked in his mind, holding the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls in his hand. There was no need to question Zhao Gongming’s combat effectiveness.

"Yes!"

The System’s response pleased Qin Jun, so he instructed in his mind, "Designate summon Zhao Gongming at the complete stage of entering the Holy Realm, with memories of his former life restored!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Zhao Gongming from mythology!"

The system prompt sounded, signifying that another super warrior who had completed entering the realm of the sage would be under Qin Jun’s command.

With this, Zhao Gongming became the second strongest under his control, and with twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, he might even be able to contend with Patriarch Bodhi.

Qin Jun had long looked forward to being able to defeat the twelve immortals of Kunlun single-handedly with Zhao Gongming.

He then had the system pull up Zhao Gongming’s attribute list.

"Zhao Gongming, from mythology!"

"Status: Jie Sect disciple! God of Wealth!"

"Cultivation: completion of entering the sage realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Luofu Great Method!"

"Divine Power: Green Sea Endless World! Vertical Light Ten Thousand Miles! Universe Borrowing! Moving Mountains and Overturning Seas!"

"Treasures: Twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls! Luofu Whip!"

"Loyalty: 65 (full value 100)!"

Seeing the twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls, Qin Jun smiled broadly.

The fame of this treasure was indeed too great, and he had long coveted it.

Who should he summon next?

Qin Jun fell into thought. Should he summon one of the Her Highnesses Sanxiao?

Forget it, he had to avoid creating factions among his subordinates and not break the balance.

Qin Jun was again caught in a dilemma over whom to summon.

Di Jun, the eleven Ancestral Witches, Kunpeng Giant Bird, Immortal Zhenyuan, Taoist Lu Ya, Master Xuandu, South Pole Immortal Elder, Golden Spirit Holy Mother, Fuxi, Taoist Duobao, Guangchengzi, Ancestral Dragon, Primordial Phoenix, Luo Hou, Red Cloud Ancestral Patriarch, Her Highnesses Sanxiao, Chi You, Shen Nong, Yellow Emperor, Royal Lord Dong, Jade Emperor...

A string of names swiftly flew through Qin Jun’s mind, putting him in painful indecision.

All very impressive, but he was unsure whom to choose.

"Forget it, I’ll think it over some more."

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile; after all, there was still some time before reaching the Ancient Immortal Realm.

Once a strong warrior who had reached the completion of the sage realm was summoned, they could arrive in a very short time because they were fast enough.

Cradling his anticipation for Zhao Gongming, Qin Jun began to whistle.

Qiang Liang glanced at him and then continued to doze off, while Patriarch Bodhi seemed indifferent and continued to meditate with his eyes closed.

The Dust Brush sped forward with the three of them swiftly.

Time passed quickly; about half an hour later, Patriarch Bodhi suddenly asked the Dust Brush to stop.

"There is a strong opponent approaching from ahead."

Patriarch Bodhi stood up and said with narrowed eyes, startling Qiang Liang into standing up as well.

Qin Jun also opened his eyes, but he was not worried, as he already had an answer in his heart.

"This Zhao Gongming, to arrive so late, could it be that Bodhi is flying too fast?"

Holding back his excitement, Qin Jun thought, and soon, a figure approached from in front. He was burly, clad in armor, with a red sleeve tied around his waist, displaying a gallant and fierce appearance, and exuding an intimidating aura.

It was indeed Zhao Gongming!

Although Zhao Gongming wasn’t as divine as Yang Jian or Sun Wukong, he had an air of iron-blooded ruggedness about him, with fierce tiger-like eyes.

The Zhao Gongming who had defeated the twelve immortals of Kunlun had arrived!

"Completion of the sage realm!"

Patriarch Bodhi uttered softly, causing Qiang Liang to be moved.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "Zhao Gongming, I have been waiting for you for a long time!"

Zhao Gongming!

Patriarch Bodhi’s expression changed slightly; he had heard of the Investiture of the Gods battle, where Zhao Gongming had performed remarkably. Even the twenty-four heavens under Randeng were transformed from Zhao Gongming’s twenty-four Sea-Calming Pearls.

Could it be that Zhao Gongming?

Qiang Liang, on the other hand, was completely lost. In his time, Zhao Gongming was nowhere to be found.

"Haha, Your Majesty, sorry to have kept you waiting!"

Zhao Gongming laughed heartily, with a natural and unrestrained air, and upon finishing his words, he arrived in front of the Dust Brush.

His gaze first fell on Patriarch Bodhi, his pupils contracted, and his heart surged with shock. He couldn’t fathom Patriarch Bodhi’s cultivation level.
