The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 1277 Baili Zhinan

Chapter 1277: Chapter 1277 Baili Zhinan

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for advancing your cultivation to the late stages of entering the realm of the sage," Di Jun said with a smile to Qin Jun, causing Donghuang Taiyi standing nearby to frown.

The late stage of entering the realm of the sage!

This made Donghuang Taiyi very frustrated; Qin Jun’s cultivation was almost catching up to his, and he felt humiliated.

Qin Jun waved his hand and smiled, indicating for both to sit down.

Inside the imperial garden, it was fragrant and serene.

Qin Jun turned to Donghuang Taiyi and got straight to the point, "Taiyi, do you wish to restore your former cultivation?"

Upon hearing this, Donghuang Taiyi’s eyes widened, his breathing quickened.

"Really?"

Donghuang Taiyi asked incredulously. If he were to re-cultivate to his peak, it would require a lengthy amount of time.

However, he had heard that the Heavenly Emperor of Qin could restore his subordinates’ former peak cultivation in just a few days. He had long coveted this but was held back by past enmities, preventing him from asking.

Qin Jun smiled and nodded.

Now he had three supremely loyal peak, seven God and Demon peaks, to whimsically choose from.

Loyal peak could be used on Donghuang Taiyi and Nether River Ancestral Patriarch, while the remaining God and Demon peaks were distributed based on merit.

Donghuang Taiyi hesitated. It seemed too good to be true.

He had been Qin Jun’s enemy multiple times. Having just sworn fealty to the Great Qin Heavenly Court, was Qin Jun now helping him restore to his peak?

Why?

The Great Qin Heavenly Court had many powerful figures.

Qin Jun looked him in the eye and said, "I value your talent and your identity as a Demon Emperor. The Demon Clan of the Great Qin Heavenly Court needs a leader, and you and your brother are the most suitable."

Donghuang Taiyi suddenly realized.

The reason for helping him was because he was useful.

"Don’t hesitate anymore. If His Majesty wanted to kill you, he would have already done so. Why would he need to scheme?" Di Jun advised. How many saints did Qin Jun have under his command now?

If he wanted to kill Donghuang Taiyi, even he couldn’t stop him.

So, he had put a lot of effort into making Donghuang Taiyi serve the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

Qin Jun simply smiled, saying no more.

Donghuang Taiyi’s talent was indeed extraordinary, surpassing even Tathāgata and Patriarch Bodhi. Before the Three Pure Ones entered the Holy Realm, they all feared Donghuang Taiyi, which spoke volumes.

"Very well! I agree! From this day forth, I, Donghuang Taiyi, will serve the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, through fire and water, without hesitation! I hope Your Majesty will let bygones be bygones!" Donghuang Taiyi clenched his teeth and half-knelt, clenching his fist in a salute.

Of course, he still felt reluctant.

Qin Jun used a secret array spell to capture his psychological movements but did not care.

"Let Donghuang Taiyi restore to his loyal peak!" Qin Jun commanded inwardly, and immediately a black hole emerged above his head.

Looking at the black hole, Donghuang Taiyi felt uneasy, but he did not resist and was quickly sucked into it.

Qin Jun turned to Di Jun, smiling and said, "I summoned you here mainly to keep an eye on your brother, so you don’t think I have harmed him."

Di Jun waved his hands quickly and helplessly smiled, "Your Majesty’s magnanimity is well known to me. Here, I thank Your Majesty for forgiving the past!"

Following Qin Jun was indeed a road to great prosperity!

Not just to become a saint!

Surpassing a saint was also possible!

Qin Jun smiled and thought, "The reason I can forgive the past is because of the mythology system!"

...

Inner Universe, Lin Holy Immortal Domain.

Within Lin Family’s Immortal Mountain, Clan Head Lin Zhizhong and several elders were kneeling before a group of people, with disciples around the square pointing and whispering, as panic spread.

"I truly do not know the whereabouts of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin..."

Lin Zhizhong implored, standing before a group from the Baili Clan, each member radiating powerful energy that forced him into deference.

He had thought to soar with the support of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin, but unexpectedly, he had drawn the pursuit of the Baili Clan, filling him with trepidation.

The might of the Holy Sect, Su Emperor Sect, Heavenly Tiger Sect, and other forces paled in comparison to that of the Baili Clan.

At this moment, he felt as if the sky was collapsing.

A white-robed elder standing before him asked in a deep voice, "Your daughter married the Heavenly Emperor of Qin; how could you not know?"

His eyes shimmered like crystals, eerily bizarre, a trait shared by half of the Baili Clan cultivators behind him.

These were indeed the eyes of the Supreme.

An ancient, brilliant bloodline of immense power!

The white-robed elder, named Baili Zhinan, had reached the peak of the Holy Realm, leading this team. His status in the Baili Clan was high, and he scarcely regarded Lin Zhizhong.

Baili Zhinan was also one of the Nine Saint Lords, second only to Zhao Han Yao.

"I truly didn’t know... The Heavenly Emperor of Qin took my daughter that day and didn’t leave a single word; many guests can testify to this."

Lin Zhizhong was nearly in tears, the saintly pressure bearing down on him made his bones feel as though they were about to shatter.

Baili Zhinan frowned; he had promised emphatically to bring back the party of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin and was disappointed to find the trail end here.

"Should we slaughter the Lin Family?"

At this, one of the Holy ones behind Baili Zhinan spoke up, causing the faces of Lin Zhizhong and the elders to pale dramatically; they began to bow and beg for mercy.

"Please spare us!"

"We have no ties to the Heavenly Emperor of Qin!"

"The Heavenly Emperor of Qin took our clan member, and we were powerless!"

"Please, seniors of the Baili Clan, spare us!"

Lin Zhizhong and the others, abandoning all pride, wept and begged for mercy, instilling fear in the distant disciples of the Lin Family.

Baili Zhinan frowned and did not immediately agree but mused, "We shall stay in the Lin Family abode for now and await the Heavenly Emperor of Qin; you can also gather clues from the surroundings!"

"Yes!"

All the cultivators of the Baili Clan responded in unison.

Recently, the name of the Heavenly Emperor of Qin had been causing a stir in the inner universe, largely because one of his subordinates possessed the Supreme eyes, attracting the attention of the Baili Clan.

These cultivators scoffed at Qin Jun, looking to capture the Heavenly Emperor of Qin as a chance to gain fame.

The honor of the Baili Clan was paramount, but achieving the status of Nine Saint Lord like Baili Zhinan meant true glory and independence.

...

Boom! Boom! Boom...

Sun Wukong and Xiang Yu fought furiously across the cosmos, both appearing as if bathed in blood, their plight exceedingly dire.

They had been battling for three days, yet no victor had emerged.

Xiang Yu was newly initiated into the Heavenly Dao Holy Realm and not yet fully consolidated in cultivation. In contrast, Sun Wukong was already competing at the peak levels of the Heavenly Dao Holy Realm, augmented by special attributes, making their fight evenly matched.

At this moment, Sun Wukong was enveloped in a blood-like aura, his eyes terrifyingly red as they shot out two beams of red light, chilling to the soul.

Xiang Yu’s aura was even more terrifying. Their battle had honed his mastery over the power of the Heavenly Dao Holy Realm.

The Heavenly Dao Holy Realm, aptly named, paralleled the Heavenly Dao itself.

A sage merely matched the Heavenly Dao in longevity, while someone in the Heavenly Dao Holy Realm was an entity even the Heavenly Dao could not contend with.

Bang—

Sun Wukong smashed Xiang Yu away with his staff, Xiang Yu’s heavy armor already shattered beyond recognition, his muscles grotesquely swollen as if they might explode at any moment.

After flying nearly ten billion li, Xiang Yu finally stabilized.

"Exhilarating!"

Rubbing his chest, Xiang Yu laughed heartily, his face ablaze with wild excitement, clearly a battle maniac.

Sun Wukong had entered the "Demon Heart Conquers Buddha" state, akin to becoming devilish, with only one thought in his mind: to tear Xiang Yu to shreds.

With a loud howl—

Sun Wokong charged at Xiang Yu again, looking out into the cosmos where nothing remained, no stars or meteors, for they had all been shattered and obliterated by their fighting.
