The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1158: The Whereabouts of the White Emperor

Chapter 1158: Chapter 1158: The Whereabouts of the White Emperor

"The reasons are many. First, both you and I are extreme flame demons, descendants of beings from Chaos, already considered anomalies by the Time-Space Forbidden Land. The rules can hardly tolerate us. Second, the ascension of Fuxi to sainthood under your command has led to the presence of three saints within the Time-Space Forbidden Land, angering the rules. This place is meant to be purgatory, not a stepping-stone for others."

Ji Bubai explained, causing Qin Jun to frown.

What exactly are the rules of the Time-Space Forbidden Land?

He had often asked, but Ji Bubai just wouldn’t give a straight answer, only comparing them to the Heavenly Dao.

"Can I leave a few people behind?"

Qin Jun asked, thinking that if Di Jun, Xuandu, and Fire God could stay to cultivate, their cultivation would surely skyrocket. And with guidance from Ji Bubai, perhaps another saint could emerge.

Ji Bubai waved his hand and said, "The rules now see you all as one group that must be eliminated. Look at the fierce creatures around you."

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun turned his head, only to see the savage beasts outside the magic shield relentlessly ramming it, each with a fierce and ferocious face. Even with their bodies deformed and their flesh blurred with blood, they did not stop.

The great chase was not over yet!

This meant that the rules of the Time-Space Forbidden Land were still rejecting them.

Despite his deep reluctance, Qin Jun had no choice but to leave.

For unknown eons, the Time-Space Forbidden Land had existed, and even someone as strong as Ji Bubai was urging him to leave, which likely meant even more terrifying things lay ahead.

"Then let’s go!"

Qin Jun decided, then looked towards Death Path.

With a slight smile, Death Path turned and flew east, with everyone closely following behind. With three saints providing protection, the savage beasts couldn’t get anywhere near them.

Qin Jun looked back at the guardian lying unconscious in the ruins, finding it hard to imagine a saint being downed—such was Ji Bubai’s strength.

"Don’t look. In the Time-Space Forbidden Land, he is immortal. To kill him, you’d have to destroy the Time-Space Forbidden Land itself."

Ji Bubai’s voice reached his ears, making him frown slightly.

What’s the difference between such a saint and a puppet?

Soon, they reached the end of the world.

Death Path stretched out his hands, tore the void, and created a large rift in space, with lightning swirling around it, making people feel apprehensive.

"Follow me!"

After dropping that line, Death Path stepped in first.

Qin Lingming quickly followed, then Di Jun, Xuandu, and Fire God.

"Your Majesty, please leave quickly," Fuxi said to Qin Jun. Qin Jun wouldn’t feel at ease unless he left first.

Ji Bubai felt the same, preferring to cover the rear just in case Qin Jun encountered any mishaps.

Qin Jun nodded. After spending over ten thousand years in the Time-Space Forbidden Land, the thought of finally leaving felt somewhat surreal to him.

Perhaps only a short time had passed in the outside world, but his state of mind had already changed.

With one lingering look at the fierce creatures rushing frantically towards them, Qin Jun resolutely stepped into the spatial rift.

"Ding! Side mission completed—Escape from Peril! You have obtained one God and Demon summoning opportunity, one God and Demon instance opportunity, one God and Demon peak opportunity, and two skill inheritance opportunities!"

As the system prompt sounded, Qin Jun opened his eyes. Before him was a magnificent landscape of mountains stretching across the horizon.

Is this the Qiuming Abyss?

A look of confusion flashed in Qin Jun’s eyes; this didn’t match his memories of the Qiuming Abyss.

Death Path and the others like Di Jun were floating in front, waiting for their exit.

After Ji Bubai finally emerged, the spatial rift shrank and vanished.

"What are you planning to do next?" Death Path asked.

Ji Bubai turned to look at Qin Jun and smiled, saying, "Let’s see what he decides."

In response, Qin Jun took a deep breath and said, "I’m planning to go back, get ready for a confrontation with the Holy Sect. Are you coming with me?"

After pondering with his hand on his chin, Ji Bubai said, "Forget it, I’m accustomed to staying in the Time-Space Forbidden Land. When you go to war with the Holy Sect, just think of me, and I will appear."

Countless eons of solitude had already seeped deep into my bones.

Now accompanying Qin Jun to the bustling Qin Immortal Realm, I actually found it uncomfortable.

"So, the sage has such immense Divine Power?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow and laughed.

"Naturally." Ji Bubai boasted with a laugh.

Death followed with a remark, "When you confront the Holy Sect, you can still seek my help. That white bone is still around, isn’t it?"

Qin Jun paused, then gave an affirmative nod and chuckled, "Of course, I wouldn’t waste this opportunity!"

The three of them looked at each other and burst into laughter, their spirits soaring high. With two sages on their side, could the so-called Holy Sect possibly stand in their way?

"Who would have thought their reunion would be at this very moment."

Qin Lingming muttered to himself, filled with emotion.

About the future, he wouldn’t reveal too much to Qin Jun, to avoid changing fate, but witnessing history unfold, he still felt a strong sense of accomplishment.

"Alright, you all can leave now. Ling Ming can’t leave the Time-Space Forbidden Land, and I will protect him."

Ji Bubai waved his hand, saying goodbyes is always sentimental, even for someone as carefree as he was. Despite his billions of years of loneliness, having spent over ten thousand years with his own son, the forthcoming separation inevitably stirred some emotions within him.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun turned to look at Qin Lingming, his stubborn son.

Their eyes met, and Qin Lingming instinctively looked away.

After being surpassed by Qin Jun in terms of cultivation, Qin Lingming felt deeply wounded. He had trained desperately every day but still couldn’t narrow the gap between them. This kind of despair was understood only by him.

"Remember, you are my son. Don’t disappoint me."

Qin Jun said softly with a light chuckle, his tone relaxed and not at all severe, but his words nonetheless sent a tremor through Qin Lingming’s heart and soul.

In his memory, this was what Qin Jun said to him the most.

But this time, Qin Jun said it with a smile, as if he had deep faith in him.

Qin Lingming felt an inexplicable urge to tear up. He turned his head slightly and huffed, "I will awaken the Extreme Flame Demon God’s bloodline, and I won’t let you down!"

Looking at this stubborn and confident young man, Qin Jun laughed wholeheartedly.

The little guy didn’t turn out too bad after growing up.

"Alright, I am leaving!"

Qin Jun shrugged and laughed, followed closely by Fuxi, Di Jun, Fire God, and Xuandu.

Death flew ahead, saying, "I’ll lead you out. The prohibitions and formations here are incredibly profound."

Qin Jun had no objections, presuming this place to be the depths of Qiuming Abyss, a world within a world.

Watching their departing figures, Ji Bubai composed himself, patted Qin Lingming on the shoulder, and chuckled, "My grandson, now what do you think of him?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lingming pondered for a moment and slowly said, "Fearless, as light as a breeze, as carefree as a cloud."

"Hahaha——"

Ji Bubai laughed heartily, grabbed Qin Lingming’s shoulder, and in an instant, the two of them disappeared from the spot.

Meanwhile,

As Death led the way, he said, "The last time you asked about the White Emperor, I actually met him."

As soon as he said this, Qin Jun’s eyes widened, and he hurriedly asked, "Where did he go? Is he dead or alive?"

"It was a long time ago. He came to Qiuming Abyss looking for the ancient Imperial Path, it seems he has gone on to the ancient Imperial Path."

Death reminisced, his eyes flickering with a peculiar glint at the mention of the White Emperor.

The ancient Imperial Path?

Qin Jun frown deepened. He had heard of this name, which was the very phrase that had driven the White Emperor to obsession.

"Beyond the stars, the ancient Imperial Path."

"Detachment from Heavenly confinement, the life force within the Great Way."
