Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Gibbon Monkey [Eight More]

Within two days, Young Master Qin Jun had conquered all the forces within Guarding Slaughter City, greatly astonishing everyone. The news quickly spread to other cities.

Just like that, the name of Young Master Jun Qing began to circulate in the land of no masters, drawing the attention of many forces.

As soon as Qin Jun had distributed the subordinates of You Fenghuang and Dan Mingzi to the city gates and various streets, the system notification sound smoothly rang out:

"Ding! Side quest completed—Dominate Guarding Slaughter City! Awarded one God and Demon summoning opportunity! And provoked the Four Divine Sect!"

Not too shabby!

Even though there was only one God and Demon summoning opportunity, as for angering the Four Divine Sect, Qin Jun didn’t care.

The land of no masters was so far from Great Qin Kingdom that even if his identity was revealed, he wasn’t afraid!

Moreover, the Four Divine Sect was nothing in his eyes. The Great Qin Kingdom by now had the strength to compete with the Imperial Dynasty. It might be difficult to annihilate the Four Divine Sect, but it was certainly not impossible!

Qin Jun, who was seated cross-legged under a tree, absorbed energy while speaking to the system in his mind, "By the way, system, shouldn’t you reward me for helping you collect the awakening stones?"

The reason for provoking the Four Divine Sect ultimately boiled down to the awakening stones, so Qin Jun had to negotiate with the system.

After a brief silence, the system asked, "What does the host want?"

"Give me a luck boost, I’m going to randomly summon a God and Demon right now!"

Qin Jun chuckled slyly, his laughter shameless.

The reason for the compulsory quests was none other than the system’s exception in summoning powerful beings above the True Immortal Realm for him.

The system didn’t reply, causing Qin Jun to shake his head with a smile, although he didn’t hold much hope in the first place.

"It’s possible!"

After about ten seconds of silence, the system actually agreed, to Qin Jun’s very pleasant surprise.

"Ding! Starting random God and Demon summoning now..."

Qin Jun couldn’t help but feel expectant, hoping to summon a strong being above the True Immortal Realm!

However, according to past experience, the God and Demon he thought of would never be summoned.

For instance, Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, the Tathāgata, the Dao Ancestor of the Three Pure Ones, who knows when they would be summoned.

Until now, the gods and demons that had been summoned were almost all supporting characters from various mythology stories, which was rather disheartening.

Complaining aside, Qin Jun was still very satisfied with gods and demons like Lei Zhenzi.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the Through-armed Ape—Yuan Hong, from ’Investiture of the Gods’..."

Damn!

The Through-armed Ape!

Qin Jun’s eyes suddenly opened wide, he had finally summoned one of the Four Great Divine Monkeys!

The Stone Monkey of Spiritual Understanding could change its form, understood the timing of heaven, knew the advantages of the earth, could move stars and fight constellations.

The Red-Buttocked Horse Monkey knew the yin and yang, was adept in human affairs, excelled in entering and leaving places, and could avoid death to prolong life.

The Through-armed Ape could grasp the sun and moon, shrink thousands of mountains, discern fortune and disaster, and play with the Universe.

The Six-Eared Macaque had excellent hearing, could understand rationale, knew past and future, and was clear about all things.

Sun Wukong, the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, is famously known as the Stone Monkey of Spiritual Understanding. Although the original ’Journey to the West’ didn’t mention Sun Wukong being such, as mythology evolved, later generations recognized him as the Stone Monkey of Spiritual Understanding.

The Six-Eared Macaque was even more formidable, eavesdropping on the Three Realms, on par with Sun Wukong in combat, and could even deceive great powers, making Avalokitesvara, Kṣitigarbha, and Heavenly Lord Li unable to differentiate between the true and false Monkey King.

"Is Yuan Hong the Through-armed Ape in ’Investiture of the Gods’?" Qin Jun excitedly asked in his mind.

Yuan Hong was a white ape that had cultivated and became a demon, the leader among the Seven Sages of Plum Mountain, and even Yang Jian could not subdue him. He eventually died under the Immortal-slaying Flying Knife of Daoist Lu Ya.

Of course, Yuan Hong was certainly no match for Yang Jian during the period of ’Journey to the West’ since the Shang and Zhou Dynasties were more than two thousand years apart from the Tang Dynasty.

"There are many versions of mythology, and the Through-armed Ape here in the system is Yuan Hong. Besides, Sun Wukong’s setting is also as one of the Four Great Divine Monkeys, the Stone Monkey of Spiritual Understanding," the system answered.

Qin Jun was not one to dwell on problems, for in a world so vast, the system reigned supreme!

After all, the stronger the Arm-through Monkey, the better!

"Hurry up and pull up Yuan Hong’s attribute list!" Qin Jun said impatiently, almost kissing the system in gratitude.

Yuan Hong was even above Lei Zhenzi in status!

"Yuan Hong, from Investiture of the Gods."

"Race: Arm-through Monkey!"

"Cultivation: Golden Immortal Realm Ninth Level!"

"Cultivation Method: Nine Revolution Body Refining Technique!"

"Treasured Weapon: Fine Iron Rod!"

"Divine Power: Eight-Nine Profound Art! Indestructible Body!"

"Loyalty: 95 (Full score 100)!"

What an explosion!

Golden Immortal Realm Ninth Level!

Qin Jun’s breathing accelerated instantly, as Yuan Hong’s Eight-Nine Profound Art, also known as the 72 Transformations, was indeed the same as Sun Wukong’s—it was no mistake. They both wielded staffs, both mastered the 72 Transformations, Yuan Hong possessed an immortal body, while Sun Wukong had a vajra indestructible body. The two monkeys were practically cut from the same cloth.

Some even said that Sun Wukong was a reincarnation of Yuan Hong, but from what the system had said, there seemed to be no direct connection between Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong.

"Damn, with Yuan Hong on my side, I’m going to crush the Southern Domain!"

Qin Jun was ecstatic. With Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong joining forces, what did he have to fear from the damn Abyss Sect!

He could simply storm straight into the Abyss Sect headquarters without any strategy!

Qin Jun was too excited to keep his calm, and he couldn’t help but envision the concept of gathering the Four Great Divine Monkeys. The picture was so beautiful, it was unimaginable!

Just then, Liu Bowen entered the courtyard.

"My lord, I have devised a strategy to infiltrate the Abyss Sect," Liu Bowen approached and said with a bow and a smile. Qin Jun had a policy of respecting capable people, and with plenty of strong subordinates, Liu Bowen’s loyalty was steadily increasing, presumably reaching full loyalty soon.

"No need!" Qin Jun waved his hand excitedly, leaving Liu Bowen stunned.

Qin Jun clenched his fists and said with a smirk, "We don’t need any strategy. When the time comes, we’ll teleport directly to the Abyss Sect headquarters and start the war, exploding their ranks!"

"My lord, we must not act rashly!" Liu Bowen immediately advised. Although Lei Zhenzi had repelled the elders of the Abyss Sect, he had clearly stated that he was no match for the Sect Leader.

Qin Jun spoke with profound intent, "Bo Wen, rest assured, I am confident in what I’m doing! All we need to do is wait for the Abyss Sect branch to come to us with information."

Liu Bowen’s brows furrowed tightly, but then he seemed to recall past events mentioned by Evening Star and others and understood something, an excited look spreading across his face.

"Then I shall not disturb my lord’s training," he said.

Liu Bowen, knowing better than to ask further questions, respectfully withdrew.

Meanwhile, Qin Jun eagerly anticipated the arrival of Yuan Hong.

This was a true duplicate Sun Wukong—there wasn’t a Huaxia person who wasn’t a fan of Monkey Brother!

"Continue training and strive to break through the Transforming Void Realm as soon as possible!"

Qin Jun tried to clear his thoughts of distractions and sat down to continue his training.

He had already mastered the 36 Heavenly Transformations and rarely ever had to use them.

He was also on the verge of breaking through the fifth layer of the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique. His Heavenly Grade Cultivation Techniques made his spiritual energy quantity and quality surpass most cultivators of the same level. His Indestructible Holy Body remained at the third level, "Vajra Indestructible," but of course his version could not quite compare to Sun Wukong’s. It could only withstand magical weapon attacks; if an opponent used a treasured weapon, using his body to resist would be suicidal.

Treasured weapons, Divine Powers, Heavenly Grade Cultivation Techniques, ancient body tempering cultivation methods!

With just these, Qin Jun didn’t need to practice spells; he even felt he could battle against those who had just entered the Transforming Void Realm, but alas, he never had the chance to test this theory.

The worries of an Emperor, indeed!
