The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 137: All Because of Weakness

Chapter 137: Chapter 137: All Because of Weakness

"My young disciple has already reached the Transforming Void Realm," Evening Star stroked his beard and said, with a trace of pride clearly showing on his amiable face, obviously very satisfied with Li Bai.

The Transforming Void Realm!

Qin Jun breathed a sigh of relief, the corners of Fa Hai and others’ mouths twitched, their disciple was in the same grand realm as them, the Blood Saber King’s right hand trembled, nearly dropping the wine jug on the ground.

"Li Bai, oh Li Bai, in life you were the Poet Immortal, and after death, you even became a Sword Immortal, damn impressive."

Qin Jun mused inwardly, if I could do it over, I’d choose Li Bai...

"It’s quite a coincidence, there was a time when I accidentally entered the dream of my disciple’s mother through my Spirit leaving my body, and thus this good fate was tied, her mother also named him Evening Star," Evening Star said with a smile, but to Qin Jun, this statement felt oddly strange.

Accidentally entering someone’s dream?

Why does it feel a bit like dream assault?

The old bastard!

Qin Jun ranted inwardly, he even doubted whether Li Bai might actually be Evening Star’s illegitimate child?

However, Evening Star’s explanation did align with the historical records of how Li Bai got his name, and though a Transforming Void Realm powerhouse couldn’t compare with Li Yuanba, Roaring Sky Dog, or Evening Star, they were still a super-strong presence that nations looked up to.

"System, is Li Bai called a Sword Immortal with only the strength of the Transforming Void Realm?" Qin Jun asked in his mind as he sipped his drink.

Having an ’immortal’ in the title should mean quite something!

Li Yuanba awoke after death to the Earth Immortal Realm; Evening Star, although not very powerful among the gods, had lived for a very long time, had no simple status, and possessed profound heritage—he should be able to create an extremely strong disciple.

"The title of Li Bai’s Green Lotus Sword Immortal was hyped up by Evening Star."

"..."

The system’s answer caused Qin Jun’s mouth to twitch, damn, could it be that Li Bai is actually a complete weakling, and the Transforming Void Realm was all just Evening Star’s bluff?

Looking again at the self-satisfied smile on Evening Star’s face, Qin Jun felt the urge to throw his boot at him.

"Li Bai has the strength of the Earth Immortal Realm’s first layer!"

Uh...

What?

The system’s voice suddenly brought a spectacular look to Qin Jun’s face, the system continued to explain, "Evening Star just wanted to give face to Fa Hai and the rest by downplaying the strength. Li Bai himself is a direct disciple of Evening Star, the Poet Immortal of the Tang Dynasty was Li Bai’s last reincarnation for tempering in the secular world, and after death, like Li Yuanba, he awakened to his original memories and legacy."

"The Li Bai summoned by Evening Star had just awakened not long ago, at the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, not yet at his peak."

Qin Jun was ecstatic, to be at the first layer of the Earth Immortal Realm, this old guy seemed to be planning to give him a surprise!

But then he frowned again, continuing to ask in his mind, "In that case, wouldn’t Li Bai be stronger than Daji and Roaring Sky Dog?"

Never mind Fa Hai, his fighting power in the Legend of the White Snake really couldn’t be any higher.

Little Li was itself growing rapidly.

But Roaring Sky Dog was the number one Divine Beast in Journey to the West, its master being the war god Erlang Shen of the heavens, and Daji, the Nine-Tailed Fox, had the backing of Nvwa, a big shot. Whether Erlang or Nvwa, their heritage was stronger than that of Evening Star.

"The mythical figures were summoned from different periods. Roaring Sky Dog was summoned before it was tamed by Erlang Shen, and Daji was the version from before she was dispatched to the Shang Dynasty. Hasn’t the host noticed that Daji is not as vicious as portrayed in Investiture of the Gods?"

The system’s explanation sent Qin Jun into a frenzy of excitement. Wasn’t this to say that both Daji and Roaring Sky Dog could become even stronger?

Especially Roaring Sky Dog, this dog even managed to outshine Monkey Brother.

Thinking it over carefully, Qin Jun also realized that although the memories of the God and Demon were replaced, the settings remained the same. If it were the Daji who entered Chaoge, the mere thought of her methods was terrifying, but the Daji following Qin Jun, though enchanting, had not shown herself to be too cruel.

All beings have spirits, and even a fox cannot possibly be born cruel and malicious. It seemed likely that Daji became the antagonist depicted in ’Investiture of the Gods’ due to her later experiences.

Daji, Roaring Sky Dog, Li, Li Yuanba, Li Bai!

None of them had reached their peak yet!

While excited, Qin Jun also felt somewhat daunted, not daring to imagine how strong the real powerhouses in mythology were.

At the same time, he felt some sympathy for Guan Yu and Fa Hai, both at their peaks. How could they keep up with his pace in the future?

"Right, when I summoned Evening Star, Li Bai was brought out, but Roaring Sky Dog didn’t bring out Erlang Shen. Is it because the Roaring Sky Dog I summoned hadn’t yet sworn fealty to Erlang Shen?"

Qin Jun was still puzzled. The Roaring Sky Dog summoned by the mythological system came from ’Journey to the West,’ but Roaring Sky Dog had already followed Erlang Shen during the ’Investiture of the Gods’ period, which puzzled him.

"There are many versions of Huaxia mythology, which can be connected or exist independently. ’Journey to the West’ and ’Investiture of the Gods’ were created by different people. This means the immortals in them could be considered to be from the same world or from parallel dimensions."

"Erlang Shen is too powerful and arrogant. The host currently cannot dominate him. If he came out and saw the host so weak, his loyalty would directly drop below zero, so the system had no choice but to modify Roaring Sky Dog’s settings. This Roaring Sky Dog comes from the ’Journey to the West’ timeline before he encountered Erlang Shen."

Pfft—

Qin Jun almost spat blood. Damn it, so it’s because I’m too weak that Roaring Sky Dog was also weakened?

Especially the hint of helplessness in the system’s tone made him feel an urge to rampage.

"Your Highness, what’s wrong?" Evening Star asked curiously, noticing the changing expressions on Qin Jun’s face, clearly preoccupied with some thoughts.

Qin Jun forced a smile and said, "Nothing, just a nameless sadness, perhaps because I have no opponents."

The others were speechless; this guy was always so shameless when he wasn’t being serious.

"Ignore him, let’s eat ours. After eating, Li, let’s go shopping," Daji said, rolling her eyes.

Looking at her charming face, Qin Jun couldn’t help but inwardly sigh with relief that the system had summoned an uncorrupted Daji.

It was worth mentioning that in ’Investiture of the Gods,’ even though Daji was malicious, she was only ever with King Zhou.

"Speaking of which, if I become powerful later, could I summon the Supreme Old Lord and bring out his Qingniu Bull as well?" Qin Jun thought expectantly.

"Yes!"

The system’s reply made Qin Jun’s blood boil with excitement. To strengthen his forces, he wanted to strive even harder!

About the time it takes to burn an incense stick later, the group paid their bill and left the inn, ready to tour around Luoyan City. Just as they stepped out of the entrance, Blood Blade King bumped head-on into a young man.

"Who is it! Are you blind?"

The young man cursed outright, dressed in luxurious clothes. Although his features were not handsome, his every move gave off the impression of a spoiled young master, especially after he finished cursing Blood Blade King, his gaze fell on Daji behind him, instantly turning into a lecherous ogler, unable to move on, his slightly open mouth as if ready to drool at any moment.

"Who the hell are you, looking with those dog eyes?"

Qin Jun cursed back tooth for tooth, how dare he insult his subordinate, and ogle his woman!
