The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1238 - Torch Dragon

Chapter 1238: 1238 Chapter Torch Dragon

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for summoning three Golden Crows from mythology. Would you like to summon again?"

Three Golden Crows?

I’ve already summoned six sons for Di Jun, I’ll gather more later!

"Resummon!"

Qin Jun urged in his mind, could he possibly get one with exceptional talent?

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for summoning Taotie from mythology!"

Taotie!

Qin Jun immediately narrowed his eyes, Taotie, one of the Four Perils!

Together with Qiongqi, he had managed to summon two of the Four Perils. If they were to undergo an extreme awakening, who knows how terrifying it could become?

Taotie is one of the ancient beasts and is mentioned in various ancient texts.

For example, in "Master Lv’s Spring and Autumn Annals, Foreknowledge": "The Zhou tripod shows the Taotie, head without a body, consumes humans without swallowing, harms its own body, to report and change."

In "Zuo Zhuan, 18th Year of Duke Wen": "Shun served Yao, entertained at the four gates, expelled the four perilous clans, Chaos, Qiongqi, Tao Tie, and Taotie, to the borders to repel evil spirits. Thus, when Yao died, and the world was as one, hearts aligned and supported Shun as the Heavenly Son, for his act of appointing sixteen ministers and expelling the four perils."

Both the spawn of Chaos and Taotie loved to eat.

Which of the two ferocious creatures would eat the other if they faced off?

Qin Jun suddenly became excited, and immediately had the system pull up Taotie’s attribute list.

"Taotie, from mythology!"

"Identity: One of the Four Perils!"

"Cultivation: Middle stage of entering the realm of the sage!"

"Divine Powers: Swallowing the mass populace! Abyss in the belly!"

"Loyalty: 97 (out of 100)!"

Mid-stage of entering the realm of the sage, it could be kept as a pet!

Although his own cultivation was only at the beginning of the Daluo phase, with so many sages by his side, subduing the trivial Taotie was not a difficult task.

"After the system upgrade, is it possible to specifically summon sages?"

Qin Jun asked in anticipation, regretfully the system replied with a splash of cold water: "No!"

Despite being frustrated, he understood.

Releasing sages from mythology might not affect him now, but if they were to undergo extreme awakening, it was unimaginable.

"Specifically summon the peak period Torch Dragon of the ancient times, with restored memories of past lives!"

Torch Dragon, one of the ancient Divine Beasts, originating from the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

He had many identities; some records named him Torch Dragon, others, a creator god. Qin Jun had already encountered a Torch Dragon in the Great Xuandang World.

But the Torch Dragon he summoned was not the Torch Dragon, but the Ancestor Witch of Time among the twelve ancestor witches!

Putting aside Houtu, Torch Dragon was definitely second only to Di Jiang among the ancestor witches!

"Ding! Congratulations, host, for summoning Torch Dragon from mythology!"

As the system prompt sounded, Qin Jun had the system pull up the attribute list of Torch Dragon.

"Torch Dragon, from mythology!"

"Identity: Ancestor Witch! God of Time!"

"Cultivation: Complete manifestation in the realm of the sage!"

"Cultivation Method: Prove the Way with strength!"

"Divine Powers: True Body of the Ancestor Witch! Mysteries of Time! Stopping time during battle!"

"Loyalty: 67 (out of 100)!"

Tsk tsk, Torch Dragon actually has a complete manifestation in the realm of the sage!

Among the twelve ancestor witches, equivalent to having two completely manifesting in the realm of the sage, how could Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi possibly contend with them?

"Could it be due to the gap in magical artifacts?"

True, the Chaos Bell is known as the strongest defensive magical artifact, not even the twelve ancestral witches could destroy it.

Moreover, Di Jun also holds the River Map and Luo Shu.

"Who should I give the two extreme awakenings to?"

Qin Jun stroked his chin, thinking. If Fuxi were to undergo extreme awakening, he might be stronger or at least not weaker than Patriarch Bodhi, but what if it also lowers his loyalty?

As for Houtu, let’s not even mention it, her loyalty hasn’t even started to rise yet.

As to whether to ensure absolute loyalty first, he had asked the system before, even with absolute loyalty, a God and Demon could still betray after an extreme awakening; absolute loyalty only works on saints and below in cultivation. If the cultivation is higher, the system cannot suppress it, unless the Great Qin Heavenly Court grows bigger, conquering more major forces, until it could defy the Heavenly Dao.

After some thought, he decided to save it, as there were still many Gods and Demons in the Great Qin Heavenly Court worth using the extreme awakening on, not necessarily having to select from those close by.

As for the opportunity to listen to the Dao, he planned to use it after returning, as he could now take three people with him to listen to the Dao, which he couldn’t waste.

Then he stood up, put on his shoes, and prepared to go out for a walk.

He had been in the inner universe for so long, yet had not experienced the local customs here.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?"

Li Yuanba opened his eyes and asked, he wasn’t comfortable with Qin Jun going out alone.

"Just out for some fun, you guys want to come along?"

Qin Jun smiled. Li Yuanba and Sun Wukong obviously agreed; they had been stifled for too long and were happy to go out.

Thus, they left the inn, while Yang Jian and others rested separately, and Ji Bubai had disappeared somewhere. They agreed to meet at the inn tomorrow and head out together.

They were in a city within a major world, and the creatures inside the city were not as powerful as those they had encountered in the celestial mountains in the starry sky, most were below the Daluo Realm.

The streets were bustling and lively, with mostly humans coming and going.

Although Sun Wukong had a furry face and the mouth of Thunder God, it did not cause any panic. They strolled along the street, occasionally enjoying delicious food and watching street performances.

Along the way, what they heard most was about the Heavenly Emperor of Qin leading his subordinates to annihilate the Holy Sect and repel the South Night Star, and the name of the Supreme Heaven Great Sage was frequently mentioned.

"I killed several saints myself, why didn’t they mention me?" Li Yuanba said, frustrated.

Sun Wukong boastfully said, "Can’t help it, I am stronger than you!"

Qin Jun quietly accessed the mythology marketplace and saw that his attribute list had risen to seven hundred and ten billion, delightful!

At this rate, he could exchange for a fitting Chaos spiritual treasure for both Li Yuanba and Yang Jian.

In doing so, their combat power would skyrocket!

"The Lin Family is actually holding a martial contest for marriage?"

"Jeez, the Lin Family rules over the Lin Holy Celestial Domain, do they still need to pull this stunt?"

"Who would have thought our Lin Holy Celestial Domain hasn’t produced a saint in tens of millions of years."

"It seems the head of the Lin Family wants to recruit talents from other celestial domains, those eligible to become saints."

"It is said that the Lin Family’s youngest daughter is as beautiful as a flower, a rarity not seen in millions of years, though I wonder if it’s true or not."

Just then, Qin Jun suddenly noticed the crowd moving towards the city wall ahead. There was a long cloth hung on the wall, not an ordinary one, with writing that kept changing, showing one eventful news after another. At the top was the name of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, followed by the Lin Family’s martial contest for marriage.

"Eh? Your Majesty, they say that Miss Lin is very beautiful, don’t you want to go take a look? Your Majesty might need another consort."

Li Yuanba’s eyes lit up, excitedly saying, making Qin Jun’s mouth twitch in response.

"Knock it off, I still have to go to the Eight Wildernesses, I don’t have time to find a consort!"

Qin Jun rolled his eyes.

Sun Wukong scratched his head, saying, "Your Majesty should really get one. With so many saints around, can’t we bring back one woman? Back in the day at Flower and Fruit Mountain, the female monkeys who wanted to mate with me lined up from the mountaintop to the foot!"

Female monkeys...

Qin Jun almost spit out his drink, the thought of Sun Wukong and female monkeys...

The imagination was too beautiful, unthinkable!
