The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 1377: Chapter 1377: Long Live the Heavenly Emperor

"I can’t surpass the Heavenly Emperor, yet he finds time to visit."

Su Emperor shook his head with a smile, his interactions with Qin Jun were few, but there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between them.

They had clashed once, with Su Emperor being deterred and retreating. After that encounter, Su Emperor was regarded by all beings as a notch below Qin Jun.

However, as time passed, more and more creatures have forgotten that battle, and Su Emperor’s name gradually became as renowned as the Heavenly Emperor’s.

Additionally, Su Emperor’s control over the Demon Clan brought peace to the universe, earning him immense prestige.

With a smiling expression, Qin Jun asked: "Do you know why I’ve looked for you?"

Su Emperor played with a red flower in his hand and laughed: "I suppose it’s not for anything good."

"I wish to battle you once, to defeat you, but have you transcended the sages yet?" Qin Jun’s smile faded away as he realized that he couldn’t see through Su Emperor’s cultivation; it wasn’t that Su Emperor’s cultivation exceeded his, but rather there was some powerful talisman blocking Qin Jun’s Divine Consciousness.

He must warn Su Emperor before leaving, lest Su Emperor trouble himself with the Heavenly Emperor’s palace.

Transcended the sages?

Su Emperor slightly furrowed his brow, slowly stood up, and looking at Qin Jun, said: "Have you already transcended the sages?"

Qin Jun also stood up, smiling: "I have named this realm ’Chaos Supreme Holy’; when the Heavenly Dao emerges, the only further breakthrough would be to reach Heavenly Dao Supreme Holy."

Su Emperor seemed to half understand, muttering the words "Chaos Supreme Holy" to himself.

Watching him as if he had entered a state of sudden enlightenment, Qin Jun understood.

Su Emperor had yet to transcend the sage realm.

He was probably only at the pinnacle of the sage realm, still confused about a higher realm.

"I will help you breakthrough to become Chaos Supreme Holy, but I hope you can promise me one thing."

Qin Jun spoke, and with those words, Su Emperor suddenly looked up.

The difference between Chaos Supreme Holy and Heavenly Dao Supreme Holy was clear to Su Emperor just from Qin Jun’s words.

He naturally wished to become Chaos Supreme Holy, especially since, according to Qin Jun, this realm would no longer exist in the future!

"What is it?" Su Emperor asked with a deep voice.

He really had no clue about a higher realm.

Qin Jun was different; possessing the pathway of fierce flames, not only the methods to cultivate to Chaos Supreme Holy, but even the techniques for Great Emperor’s realm of cultivation would be available. Once Qin Jun reached that state, he would have a method for the next realm.

"I am about to leave, in pursuit of a higher realm. This universe can no longer hold me, but I hope you can treat kindly those related to me, and lend them a hand should they encounter trouble," Qin Jun said with a smile.

Su Emperor was a person whose character Qin Jun was still willing to trust.

When he was weak, Su Emperor had met him but did not kill him, which was proof enough.

Furthermore, during the reign of Su Emperor over Chaos, he was famously benevolent.

Su Emperor was somewhat surprised, asking incredulously: "Do you trust me?"

Qin Jun descended in front of him, their statures not much different. Qin Jun, adorned with the Wují Primordial Robe, appeared even more imposing.

Facing Su Emperor, Qin Jun smiled: "I have been invincible for too long and desire an opponent, and in every aspect, you fit the bill."

Upon hearing this, Su Emperor was profoundly moved, his mouth slightly open, but in the end, he said nothing and merely looked at Qin Jun in silence.

After a while, Su Emperor spoke solemnly: "If you trust me, then I will accept!"

He was eager to grow stronger, and Qin Jun’s words left him with mixed feelings.

He could sense a certain quality from Qin Jun, an aura of being invincible yet lonely.

Qin Jun would journey to a higher cosmic plane, something Su Emperor could scarcely fathom in his ambition.

From the moment he took control of the Chaos Universe, Qin Jun rarely emerged, spending his time cultivating in the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall, his will to cultivate impressing even himself.

Then, Qin Jun began to illustrate the method of breaking through Chaos to Cundi for Su Emperor.

Su Emperor listened intently. The two sat on a tree trunk, much like close friends in conversation.

A full hour passed before Qin Jun finished speaking.

Su Emperor, still wanting more, exclaimed, "So that’s how it is... so that’s how it is..."

Qin Jun then slowly stood up, gazing at the starry sky, and asked, "Su Emperor, what do you think is at the end of cultivation?"

Su Emperor paused, slightly unable to keep up with Qin Jun’s sudden leap in thought, and said, "It’s precisely because we do not know, that we continue to seek it."

Qin Jun, hearing this response, couldn’t help but laugh, finding this fellow’s way of speaking rather amusing.

In an instant, he disappeared on the spot, leaving behind a lingering echo.

"Su Emperor, do not disappoint my trust. I hope the next time we meet, you will be able to contend with me."

"Reincarnation has no end, only the Heavenly Emperor endures forever!"

Beneath the starry sky, Qin Jun’s voice resounded endlessly.

Standing atop the tree trunk, Su Emperor muttered to himself, "Reincarnation has no end... only the Heavenly Emperor endures forever... Such arrogance, one day I shall rise above you, Heavenly Emperor!"

...

The meeting between Su Emperor and the Heavenly Emperor did not spread, but many races, sects, and aristocratic families took note that top powers like Yuanchu Emperor, Emperor of Yanxuan, Confucian Saint, Cundi, the twelve holy generals, Ji Haoye, Huo Qubing, and others, were returning to the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall.

Inside the Heavenly Emperor’s vast world, the atmosphere was solemn.

Countless beings felt something was amiss, and with events unfolding at the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall, it inevitably led to speculation.

A month hurried by.

Within the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall, Qin Jun sat on the Supreme Nine-Dragon Throne, with Xiling and Baili Shouyue standing beside him.

Below stood Yuanchu Emperor, Emperor of Yanxuan, Liwu Demon Venerable, Huo Qubing the Warlord, Qin Gongtian the dean of Heavenly Emperor’s Academy, Ji Haoye the First Great Flaming Demon God, Royal Lord Dong, Cundi, Confucian Saint, the twelve holy generals, She-Bishi, Ju Liusun, Xuandang, Guo Jia, Emperor Gouchen, Guan Zhong, and more.

All of them were Qin Jun’s confidants, the least of whom was at least Half Holy!

Their eyes were all fixed on Qin Jun, the atmosphere in the hall one of utter silence.

Baili Shouyue was gritting his teeth with his lips pursed, tears streaming down his face, his eyes exceedingly red.

The eyes of Xiling Empress were also slightly reddened, but as the first to learn of Qin Jun’s departure, she had already begun trying hard to accept it.

"Why are all of your faces so gloomy?"

Qin Jun broke the silence, smilingly asked. For him, it was merely a moment, but for everyone present, it was worlds apart; the cosmos separated, and eras transformed.

"Your Majesty, must you really leave?" asked Confucius.

He had been in the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall for half a month, receiving many pointers from Qin Jun, including methods that exceeded the realm of Saints.

Qin Jun waved his hand and said, "I depart to become stronger. There’s no need for sorrow; do not disappoint me."

"Yes!"

Everyone shouted in unison; they nearly represented half of the influence outside of the Demon Clan from the Chaos era, their spirit soaring.

Slowly standing, Qin Jun looked down at everyone, his gaze filled with profound meaning.

The people before him, were those he had cultivated with countless efforts; their emotional bond went without saying.

"After I leave this time, the Heavenly Emperor’s Stone Hall will be under Xiling’s control. I will not restrain your development, but upon our next meeting, I want to see who is still willing to follow me!"

"At some future time, when the name Heavenly Emperor of Qin appears, I shall descend, and all beings must submit!"

Qin Jun’s voice was full of authority, as if the entire universe was within his grasp, stirring all who heard to fervent passion.
