Chapter 1053: Chapter 1053: The Ancient Saint Emperor’s Path

The name "Qiuming Emperor" was one Qin Jun had heard of in his past life.

No one knew from which era the Qiuming Emperor came. When the White Emperor had led him to battle the Demon Clan, they had mistakenly entered a secret small world left by the Qiuming Emperor. At that time, the White Emperor had even marveled at the vastness of the Qiuming Emperor’s Divine Powers.

This small world documented many of the Qiuming Emperor’s magic powers and Divine Powers, and it contained various heavenly materials and earthly treasures, along with countless magic weapons and spirit stones.

Most critically, the Qiuming Emperor had left a passage on a stone wall.

"Beyond the starry sky, the ancient path of the Holy Emperors."

"Detachment from celestial imprisonment, the great path of life."

Those two short lines had greatly shocked the White Emperor, and to this day, Qin Jun could not understand why the White Emperor had been dazed for so long after seeing those words.

From then on, the White Emperor became even more diligent, either waging wars or cultivating, with not a moment’s rest, almost as if possessed.

Until the Human Clan crushed the Demon Clan’s army, and the White Emperor mysteriously disappeared.

Afterward, as Ji Yongsheng, Qin Jun protected the Holy City, campaigned in all directions, and slaughtered all who did not submit, ultimately unifying the Xuandang great world under the Holy City.

Therefore, the name "Qiuming Emperor" had always remained in Qin Jun’s heart.

He equated him with the Extreme Emperor, the master of the Cycle Heavenly Palm.

These two venerable powers, whose origins stretched back into the distant past, had influenced him and his mentor.

"The Qiuming Abyss has always been a land of vicious evil, terrifying beyond measure. Below the Daluo beginner immortals, those who go do not return, and even those entering the realm of the sage do not have absolute confidence."

Fairy Nansu spoke on, not noticing the expression on Qin Jun’s face: "It is said that the mad child escaped from the Qiuming Abyss."

Qin Jun raised his eyebrows; he had a profound impression of the mad child, who appeared to be a mere youth yet possessed terrifying power enough to tear ancient dragons asunder.

"Given this, the Qiuming Abyss truly isn’t simple. Very well, I will accompany you!"

Qin Jun said with a smile, always feeling that there might be clues regarding the White Emperor’s mysterious disappearance in the Qiuming Abyss.

The White Emperor was a man who had influenced his entire life, serving as both his master and like a father. Even after passing thirty thousand years, he had not forgotten him.

Fairy Nansu blinked, originally thinking that after describing the dangers of the Qiuming Abyss, Qin Jun would hesitate, but he agreed so readily.

Could it be...

She involuntarily thought deeper, as women are often more emotional.

She had never been involved romantically since she had been sensible, carrying the hopes of her sect and diligently cultivating. Especially after becoming a prodigy, it was impossible for her to be romantically involved - firstly, due to her high standards, and secondly, because her sect would not allow it.

After all, her sect had spent countless resources on her; how could they simply hand her over to someone?

Of course, if the partner were much stronger than Fairy Nansu, like a prodigy such as Di Tianwu, her sect would definitely be thrilled, as it would be akin to reaching a higher branch.

"A month from now, I will accompany you to the Qiuming Abyss!"

Qin Jun looked at Fairy Nansu and smiled, gazing at her intently. He suddenly felt that this woman was actually quite charming, her every glance and smile captivating.

Fairy Nansu was famed for her beauty, naturally possessing immense charm. Previously, Qin Jun had not paid attention to these details, but now, looking at her, he unexpectedly felt a bit infatuated.

"Good, I will wait for you for a month."

Unable to withstand Qin Jun’s slightly aggressive gaze, Fairy Nansu responded with a nod and then turned to leave, taking two steps before vanishing into thin air without a trace.

Qin Jun laughed, unexpectedly finding this woman could be shy?

"Ding! Demon King of Peng-Bird is about to return from the God and Demon instance!"

The system notification suddenly sounded, pulling Qin Jun’s thoughts back.

During this time, he had sent the Demon King of Peng-Bird and Guiguzi into the God and Demon instance, hoping they would bring back a large number of demon soldiers and talents.

Besides this, he still had five shots of the God and Demon instance left.

He planned to save these five opportunities of the God and Demon instance to merge for a summoning chance.

Guiguzi had returned four days ago. Although his cultivation had not tremendously increased, he had brought back many talents such as Sun Bin, Shang Yang, Su Qin, Zhang Yi, and Yue Yi from the Warring States and Spring and Autumn periods. These top talents had been allocated to various positions, and Qin Jun highly valued them, allowing them to stay in the Southern Domain’s celestial world rather than in the lower realms.

Now, the Demon King of Peng-Bird was soon to return, and Qin Jun was somewhat anticipating it.

He wondered if he could bring out the Kunpeng Giant Bird.

Qin Jun swiftly flew towards the army barrack within the Holy City. The soldiers in the barracks, seeing him flying towards them, were so startled that they quickly knelt down, shouting in unison, "Greetings, Your Majesty!"

A million soldiers kneeling in the sand to salute one man created a magnificent spectacle.

Before Qin Jun could speak, several figures suddenly appeared around him, quickly scattering, and in the blink of an eye covering the entire sky above the Holy City—it was all demon soldiers, and the noise instantly became clamorous.

An endless number of formidable auras spread out, startling Yuan Hong so much that he flew out of the barracks.

The Demon King of Peng-Bird quickly came before Qin Jun, kneeled in the void, and, restraining his excitement, said, "Greetings, Your Majesty! Your humble servant has not failed his mission and has brought back three million demon soldiers!"

Qin Jun nodded. His Divine Consciousness swept over, noticing the demon soldiers’ cultivation varied. The strongest he could not see through, presumably reaching the Daluo Realm, with the weakest having Ascending Mortal Realm cultivation.

"Well done, you have worked hard."

Qin Jun nodded slightly, then had the system pull up the attribute list for the Demon King of Peng-Bird.

"Demon King of Peng-Bird, from Journey to the West!"

"Identity: Chaos Great Sage!"

"Cultivation: Mid-stage Daluo to Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Chaos Great Dharma!"

"Divine Power: Traveled Ten Thousand Miles! Kunpeng Transformation!"

"Magic weapon: Muddled Heavenly Spear!"

"Loyalty: 94 (out of 100)!"

Mid-stage Daluo to Immortal Realm!

It had increased quite a bit, not bad.

Qin Jun then asked, "Did you see Kunpeng?"

Qiang Liang instantly came to Qin Jun’s side, his gaze sweeping over, causing all three million demon soldiers to jump in their hearts, quickly shut their mouths, and tremble, not daring to speak.

The Demon King of Peng-Bird too was frightened by Qiang Liang’s gaze, thinking to himself, "Indeed, the Ancestor Witch of Thunder’s reputation is well-deserved."

This was his first face-to-face encounter with Qiang Liang, and he did not dare to provoke him.

He bowed respectfully, "Your faithful servant has spoken to my father, but my father is naturally suspicious and unwilling to come, I hope Your Majesty will not blame him."

Unbeknownst to him, it was precisely because he had recited the lineup of the great Celestial Court of the Great Qin that Kunpeng was too scared to come.

Qiang Liang, Patriarch Bodhi, Fuxi, Ancestor of Qilin, Taoist Supreme Elder, Perfected Person, Xing Tian, Wenshu Guangfa Heavenly Master, Zhao Gongming, and so forth—the string of names, if separated, might not have been feared by Kunpeng, but all together, who wouldn’t be afraid?

Qin Jun felt a bit regretful but had to let it go, waving his hand, "Go rest now, Yuan Hong, make the arrangements."

Yuan Hong, who had flown up behind the Demon King of Peng-Bird, hurriedly nodded, then, along with the Demon King of Peng-Bird, led the army away.

Three million demon soldiers suddenly appearing in the sky above the Holy City was a spectacular sight, causing many civilians within the Holy City to stare dumbfounded, unable to believe their eyes.

"What’s going on? Why have so many demons suddenly appeared?"

"It seems to be brought by the Heavenly Emperor?"

"Ssss—could it be some sort of spatial Divine Power?"

"Impossible, moving three million demons? Is there such a terrifying Divine Power?"

"Since it’s the Emperor’s Divine Power, what’s so surprising about it?"
