The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 1055: Chapter 1055: Cosmic Pick-up

After separating from King Yan City, Qin Jun embarked on yet another tedious journey.

Every day he sat in meditation to cultivate, while Qiang Liang, Fuxi, and Zhao Gongming rested on the heads of the other three dragons, as cultivation was no longer of great necessity to them.

They were of such a high realm that only fate could bring further progress.

Qin Jun, however, needed plenty of time to cultivate in order to break through to the Mysterious Immortal realm.

The Dao teachings of Immortal Zhenyuan had enlightened him greatly, and his cultivation speed had increased. It seemed that breaking through to Mysterious Immortal wouldn’t take an exceedingly long time.

Time swiftly passed by amidst traveling and cultivating.

Along the way, they encountered numerous dharma ships and Ten Thousand Dharma Islands, but the four black dragons never stopped, and those creatures recognized the chariot of Fairy Nansu at a glance.

One day, someone halted their journey.

"Is this Fairy Nansu of the Jade Immortal Palace? I am Meng Rulang and would like to make your acquaintance," said a man dressed in a green brocade robe, handsome and dignified, holding a folding fan in his hand, and standing on a white ruler in the void.

His gaze swept over Qin Jun and the others. Qin Jun was immediately dismissed by him; a mere little Scatter Immortal was not worth a second glance.

Qiang Liang, on the other hand, truly alarmed Meng with his formidable aura.

As for Fuxi and Zhao Gongming, they knew how to conceal their aura, leaving Meng Rulang unable to discern much.

Qin Jun rolled his eyes, thinking that wherever he went, there seemed to be someone trying to hit on them.

"So, it’s the illustrious Meng Rulang. What brings you to the Ancient Immortal Realm?" Fairy Nansu’s voice drifted out, devoid of any emotion, extremely cold.

A talent amongst cultivators?

Qin Jun couldn’t help but scrutinize this fellow. He certainly had an attractive exterior, but why did he look so punchable?

"I wander the three thousand worlds, searching for a sliver of fate," Meng Rulang replied with his fan swaying, his demeanor that of a man who had seen through the mortal world, certainly winning over the hearts of maidens in their springtime, but Qin Jun found him pretentious.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.

Such prodigious talents of the three thousand prodigies list were adored wherever they went. Although Qin Jun had made a name for himself in the Ancient Immortal Realm, the name "Heavenly Emperor of Qin" wasn’t on the list of prodigies because his achievements were not solely through his own strength but through his formidable subordinates.

"I see. Then I wish young master Meng a smooth journey," replied Fairy Nansu, clearly turning Meng Rulang away, as she was used to many talents admiring her and never paid them any attention.

Inside the carriage, the cat demon Seven lay on the floor, yawning, "Really, every Tom, Dick, and Harry thinks they can win the fairy’s favor. Although Meng Rulang ranks within the top three hundred on the prodigies list, he’s nothing compared to an anomaly like Di Tianwu."

Fairy Nansu shook her head and chuckled, "Di Tianwu, a once-in-a-million-years talent and ranked in the top ten, is indeed out of Meng Rulang’s league. But just because I see Di Tianwu as my target doesn’t mean I have any affection for him."

"Oh? Could it be that Fairy has taken a liking to this Heavenly Emperor of Qin?"

Facing Seven’s teasing expression, Fairy Nansu merely gave a light spit but didn’t deny it.

Outside, Meng Rulang was getting anxious. Having finally encountered Fairy Nansu in the starry skies was a rare opportunity, and he wasn’t about to just exchange greetings and leave.

"May I know where the Fairy is headed?" Meng Rulang continued to ask shamelessly.

"Qiuming Abyss."

"..."

Meng Rulang instantly felt troubled. Qiuming Abyss was known as the most perilous place in the Ancient Immortal Realm, terrifying even in name alone.

Pfft—

Qin Jun couldn’t hold back his laughter; the situation was too awkward, and he couldn’t contain himself.

Meng Rulang’s expression turned unsightly. Qin Jun’s laughter, in this context, sounded so jarring, as if mocking him.

Which, indeed, he was.

But Meng Rulang swallowed his pride! He maintained a forced smile, not bothering with Qin Jun, a mere flunky.

After all, he had entered the realm of the sage, and with Fairy Nansu, that made two.

Together, they should have no issues venturing into Qiuming Abyss.

In the face of extreme danger, the two might even rub off on each other, and just the thought was delightful.

With that thought, he cleared his throat and said with a smile, "The Qiuming Abyss is very dangerous. How about I accompany Fairy Nansu on this adventure?"

Qiang Liang and Zhao Gongming also laughed, but their laughter was filled with contempt.

Dare to vie with their emperor for a woman?

Truly like an old immortal courting death because life is too long!

"There’s no need to trouble Young Master Meng. The Qiuming Abyss is extremely perilous, and even I am not absolutely certain of safety," Fairy Nansu’s voice came again, leaving Meng Rulang in utter embarrassment.

Wasn’t her statement implying that he was inferior to Fairy Nansu?

Qin Jun said impatiently, "Step aside, don’t block the way. That’s not how you chase a girl."

Meng Rulang’s anger flared as he turned to look at Qin Jun, wishing he could tear Qin Jun to pieces right there.

"What are you looking at! Watch it, or I’ll gouge out your eyes!"

The hot-tempered Zhao Gongming cursed, nearly sending Meng Rulang into a rage.

Even Fairy Nansu wasn’t angry, yet these servants dared to be so rude.

"Hmph, I’m speaking to your master, mind your own business!"

Meng Rulang sneered. If it weren’t for Fairy Nansu, he would have already taken action.

On the list of Three Thousand Proud Sons of Heaven, his ranking might be lower than Fairy Nansu’s, but that didn’t mean he was necessarily weaker than her.

The assessment of the list isn’t absolutely accurate.

Otherwise, why would the rankings fluctuate constantly?

"You’re seeking death!"

Qiang Liang instantly grew furious, and a terrifying killing intent crashed toward Meng Rulang like waves, making the hairs on Meng Rulang’s body stand on end and goosebumps break out all over.

"No need for violence."

Qin Jun suddenly spoke up. After all, the other party wasn’t there to cause trouble. If Meng Rulang died, the grudge would definitely be attributed to Fairy Nansu.

Although he was arrogant, he took responsibility for everything he did and didn’t want to harm the innocent, especially since he now had a certain interest in Fairy Nansu.

"Get lost!"

Qiang Liang stared at Meng Rulang and said coldly, frightening Meng Rulang so much that he didn’t dare to meet his gaze, sweat breaking out on his forehead and his hand holding the fan trembling.

"What level of cultivation does this person have?"

Meng Rulang thought fearfully. Feeling Qiang Liang’s gaze on him, he even felt like he could die at any moment.

"Young Master Meng, you’d best leave early. They are not my subordinates; please don’t offend them."

Fairy Nansu explained, which only confused Meng Rulang.

Looking toward Qin Jun instinctively, he quickly understood.

Could it be that these people were Qin Jun’s subordinates?

Meng Rulang glared at Qin Jun with clenched teeth, but in the end, he left with a swish of his sleeve, without leaving any harsh words behind.

Qiang Liang’s cultivation was terrifying; he wouldn’t foolishly utter threats, only to be eradicated root and branch.

Watching his retreating figure, Qin Jun shook his head with a smile. This person was still sensible enough to know when to advance and retreat. If he dared to push his luck further, Qin Jun would indeed have let Qiang Liang take action.

"Heavenly Emperor, please forgive me."

Fairy Nansu spoke again, her tone slightly apologetic.

If it had been someone else, she would not have apologized.

Qin Jun shrugged and laughed, "No problem. The more people who chase after you, the more charming you are, haha."

"Hmph."

Fairy Nansu huffed lightly, saying nothing further, yet her slightly petulant hum left Qin Jun feeling tender inside.

The four black dragons continued to move forward.

According to their estimate, in another seven days, they should be able to reach the Qiuming Abyss.
