The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1043: Unifying the Xuandang Great World

Chapter 1043: Chapter 1043: Unifying the Xuandang Great World

"Men wear Guanyin, women wear Buddha."

Qin Jun murmured the phrase, a saying from his childhood that leapt to mind.

For him, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva held an inexplicable sentiment.

An indefinable closeness.

But he also understood that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva probably wasn’t that strong, although she possessed merits surpassing Buddha and was on par with Kṣitigarbha, he really couldn’t grasp her true power.

However, there were rumors that Taoist Ci Hang of the twelve immortals of Kunlun was indeed the true form of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Regarding this, Qin Jun couldn’t be certain, as the gods and demons summoned by the system weren’t calculated according to any particular traditional novel or ancient text; sometimes they involved folk tales, modern mythological systems, and were exceedingly complex.

"Compared to Taoist Ci Hang, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has boundless merits, and the faith she receives far exceeds that of other gods. Therefore, the system didn’t regard them as the same person. What the host is thinking of is only recognized by a certain group of people. Compared to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, most people do not acknowledge Taoist Ci Hang," the system suddenly explained, causing Qin Jun to raise his eyebrows.

Boundless merits, most faith received.

In that case, how powerful must Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva be?

Throughout mythology, it was rare to see Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva defeated. Take the Scorpion Spirit as an example, it was only said that Guanyin didn’t dare to approach, but it wasn’t clear that the Scorpion Spirit was stronger than Guanyin.

Magical powers and divine abilities don’t all require close combat.

"Enough! Let’s summon Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva!"

Qin Jun gritted his teeth and decided, even if Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva wasn’t very strong, summoning her to bless the Great Qin Heavenly Court wouldn’t be bad.

"Restore past life memories!"

The Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, compassionate and kind, held particularly important memories across countless reincarnations.

Although the Primordial Chaos mythology of later generations was full of utilitarianism, Qin Jun was still willing to believe in the great kindness of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva.

Soon, the attribute list of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva appeared before his eyes:

"Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, from mythological legends!"

"Identity: Bodhisattva!"

"Cultivation: Late stage of Daluo beginner Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Buddhist scriptures!"

"Divine Powers: Salvation of all beings! Thousand Hands and Eyes! Great Compassion Mantra! Guanyin Split Body!"

"Treasures: Jade Purifying Bottle! Willow Branch! Lotus Throne!"

"Special attributes: Qi movement tranquility (can bring qi movement to their master)!"

"Loyalty: 95 (max value 100)!"

Late stage of Daluo beginner Immortal Realm?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened, this was beyond his expectations, could it be due to the addition of human faith and merits?

He didn’t bother asking the system, such cultivation status was quite satisfactory, since it meant she could do many things for him.

In Journey to the West, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was a frequent emissary of Buddhism, often assisting Sun Wukong.

Qin Jun smiled contentedly, then proceeded to draw lots for random rewards and skill inheritance. Without anything too heaven-defying, he planned to reserve those for the heroes who had performed well.

Three days later, both King Yan Palace and Jie Sect Palace declared their allegiance to the Great Qin Heavenly Court. With that, the Xuandang great world was completely unified under the Great Qin Heavenly Court, causing an uproar in the Xuandang great world.

"The unparalleled Heavenly Emperor of Qin throughout the ages!"

"To be recorded in the annals of history, this is only the second time the Xuandang great world has been unified, the first time being by the Holy Court."

"A golden age is approaching!"

"In the future, Heavenly Emperor Qin could become a figure like the White Emperor or Changsheng Shang."

"I never thought I’d live to see such an era."

Countless beings were discussing this matter. They understood what the unification of a great world represented.

Not just peace, but also a soaring rise.

Because they knew the ambition of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin would not stop there.

On this day, Qin Jun arrived at the King Yan City.

Inside the Great Hall, the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, Tathāgata, Wen Zhong, Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, Six-Eared Macaque, Dragon Emperor, Wang Jian, Li Si, Meng Tian, the god of Mount Hua, Liu Chenxiang, Yang Ren, and other elite members of the King Yan Palace gathered together.

Qiang Liang stood beside Qin Jun with his arms crossed over his chest, looking down at all beings below.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely oppressive because Qin Jun had already finished introducing Qiang Liang’s identity.

The heaven-breaker, Qiang Liang.

"I do not plan to reveal my identity, and you should not spread it either," Qin Jun said with a slow smile.

He had grown fond of his dual identity.

Li Si asked in confusion, "Why? Hasn’t the Xuandang Great World been unified by Your Majesty?"

The rest were also puzzled as declaring Qin Jun’s identity would surely propel the King Yan Palace skyward.

Being ranked as a fourth-grade domain in Zhonghuang was frustrating; with Qin Jun’s protection, turning this domain into a ninth-grade domain would be no issue.

"The Xuandang Great World is not the final destination. The King Yan Palace will eventually set out independently to wage war across the starry skies," Qin Jun said, shaking his head with a smile. As these words were spoken, everyone’s breathing became rapid.

Could it be just like before, with King Yan and the Heavenly Emperor of Qin becoming dual hegemons in the starry skies?

If this were true, then they would be making their mark and taking flight with him.

"Great! I’ll lead the charge!"

The Six-Eared Macaque scratched his head and laughed, followed by the Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey snorting, "You? Better let me do it!"

Now, both monkeys were disciples of the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord, their cultivation growing daily.

And Patriarch Bodhi had taken Yuan Hong as his disciple. Together with Sun Wukong, all four spirit monkeys had masters. Combined with their exceptional talents, even without relying on the system, they were growing stronger rapidly.

The four great spirit monkeys were bound to shake the starry skies eventually.

"Inside these three storage rings are transmission arrays, cultivation methods, spell scrolls, seeds of heavenly materials and earthly treasures, among other things. Make good use of them. Later on, I will send King Yan City beyond the boundaries of the Xuandang Great World," Qin Jun said nonchalantly as he took out three storage rings and tossed them to the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord.

King Yan City was the City of Fate, akin to a flying magical artifact; Qin Jun could control it with virtually no expenditure of magical power.

When he headed to the Ancient Immortal Realm, he would also send King Yan City out.

"Thank you, Your Majesty,"

The Grand Supreme Elderly Lord said with a smile, bowing his hands. In this time and space, there was no Laozi; the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord was an independent existence. His heart had completely merged with the King Yan Palace, leaving Taoism behind in his mind.

Afterward, Qin Jun began to explain some details.

He did not intend to leave the Xuandang Great World before the child of Zhu Yanqing was born. As for Fairy Nansu, there was no rush; for her, waiting a few years was trivial, akin to going through a single meditation session.

After giving his instructions, Qin Jun quietly left King Yan City with Qiang Liang without being seen by other creatures.

...

Within the endless starry sky,

figures flew here and there on magical instruments. Among them were Human Clan cultivators as well as members of the Demon Clan, Barbarian Clan, Stone People, and other races – nearly two hundred in total. They were not far from the Xuandang Great World.

As they saw the Xuandang Great World, they all halted, utterly astonished.

"Is that the Xuandang Great World?"

"It seems like it. Wasn’t it protected by the Ancient Immortal Realm?"

"The seal has been broken. Could it be because Canghua Immortal Venerable was captured by the Heavenly Emperor of Qin?"

"We must hurry back to report this. The Xuandang Great World is the starting place of immortals and gods; there might be lots of ancient treasures hidden inside!"

This group of creatures was thrilled, quickly flying back the way they came.

For the 130,000 years that it was sealed, many big worlds and various racial forces had their eyes on the Xuandang Great World. However, due to the Ancient Immortal Realm’s seal, no power could break through.

Now that the seal was open, the surrounding powers would naturally become like hungry wolves that had caught the scent of blood.
