The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1040: The Shock of the Gods and Demons

Chapter 1040: Chapter 1040: The Shock of the Gods and Demons

Gazing at the Holy City, Qin Jun’s smile grew even more brilliant.

Although the Xuandang Great World had not yet been completely unified, it would be fine as long as nothing went wrong.

The burden in his heart had been lifted ever since the mysterious savior rescued the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, and now he could finally put it down completely.

With Patriarch Bodhi guarding the Xuandang Great World in the future and Qiang Liang following him to battle the stars, the thought alone was thrilling!

Additionally, those deities and demons with great potential could all regain their peak power, like Luo Shixin, Yang Zaixing, Tathāgata, Randeng, Fuxi, and so on.

Thinking of this, Qin Jun couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Behind him, deities and demons like Fuxi and Qiang Liang were curiously looking forward. Fuxi sensed the presence of Emperor Yao and Emperor Shun, Qiang Liang felt the aura of Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and Xing Tian, Zhao Gongming captured the Ten Heavenly Lords’ essence, and Yingzhao searched and found Bai Ze and the Sixth Golden Crow.

The reincarnation of Tiger Ancestor, Yang Zaixing, sensed the ancestral Qilin’s presence, and Maitreya Buddha felt the Taming Dragon Arhat’s essence.

Their spirits were shaken, never expecting the Great Qin Heavenly Court to truly house their acquaintances.

"Your Majesty is indeed extraordinary," Fuxi sighed internally, his reverence for Qin Jun deepening.

Soon, four black dragons came to a halt in front of the Holy City. Their size was not small compared to the city, exerting immense deterrence over the millions of beings within. Fortunately, Qin Jun stood atop the head of a dragon; otherwise, the Holy City would have already been thrown into chaos.

"Welcome back, Heavenly Emperor!" tens of thousands of civil and military officials shouted in unison, orderly and thunderous.

Although most of them were curious about where Qin Jun had been, the thought of Qiang Liang’s heaven-breaking feat had them all excited.

The heavens had been broken!

The name of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin was destined to be inscribed in the annals of the Xuandang Great World, and by following such a great Heavenly Emperor, they too might one day leave their mark in history.

"Hahaha! My lords, rise!"

Qin Jun laughed, unrestrained and wildly arrogant.

He then continued, "You may disperse for now. Court will commence in half an hour!"

As his words fell, he leapt up and flew towards Saint Emperor Peak, followed closely by Qiang Liang, Patriarch Bodhi, Fuxi, Zhao Gongming, Maitreya Buddha, Yingzhao, Yang Zaixing, and Fairy Nansu.

"Zhao Gongming!"

Including the Golden Mother of Jade, the Ten Heavenly Lords exclaimed in surprise as they watched Zhao Gongming, as did deities and demons like lashen Lv Yue, Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, and Her Highness Shiji from the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, all equally shocked.

In the Investiture of the Gods’ great battle, Zhao Gongming was particularly outstanding, with Jiang Ziya sporting a slightly odd expression. After all, Zhao Gongming had been cursed to death by Jiang Ziya after a twenty-one-day curse, all thanks to Daoist Lu Ya’s Seven Arrows Book.

As enemies met, they glared at each other with great resentment.

Zhao Gongming’s gaze was firmly fixed on Jiang Ziya, and if not for considering Qin Jun, he might have acted on the spot.

"Buddha!"

The Taming Dragon Arhat called excitedly, bowing in the void toward Maitreya Buddha, while Sun Wukong looked at Maitreya Buddha with displeasure, as he especially despised Buddhas, especially the Buddha himself.

"Leader Qiang Liang!"

Hou Yi and Kua Fu called out excitedly. The Witch Clan regarded Pangu as the Father God, so naturally, they could not refer to Qiang Liang as their father or uncle, with each primordial witch leading their own tribe.

Xing Tian looked at Qiang Liang with mixed feelings, as he had gained the memory of another life where he cut down the Heavenly Emperor. Hence, he did not blindly revere the primordial witches.

"Xi Emperor! Yingzhao!"

The Sixth Golden Crow called out in surprise. Initially, upon hearing about Donghuang Taiyi, he almost went to join him, but thankfully Qin Jun had calmed him down.

As the son of Di Jun, he regarded Donghuang Taiyi as his uncle, but ultimately that was not his father.

Seeing Fuxi and Yingzhao also aligning with Qin Jun and Bai Ze, who was already a top-ranked civil servant, the Sixth Golden Crow also felt complicated emotions, as these three demons were all high-ranking officers under his father.

"Why does this person feel so familiar to me?"

Luo Shixin frowned, looking at Yang Zaixing. He saw through Yang Zaixing’s cultivation at a glance, which was far inferior to Qin Jun, appearing especially jarring.

He knew for a fact that Qin Jun would never keep someone useless by his side.

Qin Jun gathered the gazes of those God and Demon beings in his eyes, he smiled slightly, and chose not to explain.

The tens of thousands of civil and military officials in the skies above the Holy City parted ways, all bending at the waist to bow in Qin Jun’s direction, creating a spectacular scene.

Fairy Nansu swept her Divine Consciousness around and noted that although the Heavenly Court of Great Qin had no one entering the realm of the sage, there were quite a few who had reached Daluo, which was a bit stronger than the average major world.

Yet it still fell far short of the beginnings of the Human Clan as told in legends.

"Could this be his background?"

Fairy Nansu pondered with a frown, but at the sight of figures like Qiang Liang and Patriarch Bodhi, she immediately dismissed the thought.

There must be an even larger power supporting Qin Jun.

Perhaps the Xuandang major world was merely a chess piece.

Qin Jun quickly led everyone to the top of Saint Emperor Peak, and he said with a laugh, "Bai Ze, take this fairy down to rest first, Bo Wen, take Qiang Liang and the others to wait in the Junzheng Hall, Bodhi doesn’t need to attend the court meeting, just focus on healing your wounds."

Especially when speaking of Patriarch Bodhi, his tone was quite grave.

Patriarch Bodhi had been seriously injured by the Tianwei, causing him much shame.

"Yes!"

Bai Ze and Liu Bowen obeyed the order, both a little excited, for these were all powerful beings from ancient mythology.

After they left, Qin Jun finally approached Daji, Li, Zhu Yanqing, Wang Xue, You Fenghuang, and the Black Butterfly Fairy.

Behind him, Chang’e, the Pipa, and a host of palace ladies stood waiting.

"I didn’t lie, did I? I said it would be smooth sailing!"

Qin Jun spread his arms and exclaimed with a laugh, and Li, who was the most clingy, threw herself directly into his arms.

"Brother Qin Jun, Li missed you so much!"

Li still liked to address Qin Jun this way, rubbing her face against his as she spoke, provoking the other ladies to cover their mouths and chuckle lightly.

Qin Jun stroked her hair, then began to greet the other Saint Consorts.

"It’s fortunate that the little one hasn’t come out yet, otherwise, would my love have felt wronged if I had missed it?"

Qin Jun held Zhu Yanqing’s delicate hand and said with a smile, causing her pretty face to flush.

He could feel the strong life force within Zhu Yanqing; even an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator might not have such a vigorous aura.

Fortunately, Zhu Yanqing’s cultivation had already reached the Transforming Void Realm.

Then, he turned to the Black Butterfly Fairy and asked with a smile, "How does it feel to become an immortal?"

The Black Butterfly Fairy cast a coquettish glance at him and giggled, "Even as an immortal, this body belongs to your majesty."

Her words stirred restlessness in Qin Jun’s heart.

He had not known the taste of flesh for months and felt a longing inside.

"Your Majesty, aren’t you going to tell us about your experiences during this time?" Daji’s voice pulled Qin Jun back to reality.

Qin Jun laughed heartily and gestured with his hand, "Let’s go! I’ll talk with you in the Imperial Garden."

He would have half an hour before the court meeting began, just enough time to spend intimately with the ladies.

As he passed by Chang’e, he suddenly stopped, smiled, and said, "Fairy, join us!"

Upon hearing this, Chang’e was stunned for a moment, her neck flushing pink, then she nodded shyly.

Seeing this, Pipa felt jealous and couldn’t help stomping her foot and pouting, "Your Majesty, have you forgotten about me?"

Sweat!

A twitch formed at the corner of Qin Jun’s mouth as he quickly mollified her, "Since I’ve entrusted the Imperial Garden to you, of course you must come along."

He was still somewhat anxious about the poison of the Scorpion Spirit.

Should he take her as a Saint Consort?
