Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Two New Features

Returning to the residence, Qin Jun immediately arranged for Li Cunxiao and Bai Qi to join the ranks of the hundred thousand celestial soldiers, forming the Celestial Soldiers Guard. With Li Cunxiao’s Earth Immortal Realm cultivation, he naturally commanded respect, but although Bai Qi possessed the Transforming Void Realm cultivation, the celestial soldiers, who were nearly at the Transforming Void Realm themselves, naturally didn’t take him seriously.

Don’t look down on the hundred thousand celestial soldiers for only having Ascending Mortal Realm cultivation; you must know, the top combat power in a kingdom is about the Ascending Mortal Realm, and only a few kingdoms have strong individuals of the Transforming Void Realm, which means that any celestial soldier could walk sideways in the kingdoms.

Qin Jun gave Li Cunxiao and Bai Qi one day to win the respect of the celestial soldiers; otherwise, they could say goodbye.

He also wanted to lead the troops himself, to enjoy the thrill.

Approaching noon, Qin Jun sat in the courtyard waiting for the system update to complete. This was the system’s first update, and how could he not look forward to it.

"Ding! The system’s first transformation is complete, unlocking the following two functions: God and Demon replicas and Talented Ability Search!" The system notification sounded, bringing Qin Jun a surge of excitement.

God and Demon replica function!

Talented Ability Search function!

They both sound amazing!

"Come on, introduce them already!" Qin Jun urged impatiently.

"The God and Demon replica function allows the host to choose a summoned God and Demon to return to their original time, at a rate of one thousand to one. One day in this world equals one thousand days in their original time. The host can send them back with tasks, such as cultivating or recruiting strong allies."

Holy shit!

This is awesome!

If Red Boy could return and bring Demon King of Bull and Princess Iron Fan over, wouldn’t that be great?

Sending Yuan Hong back to bring over the other six saints from Plum Mountain wouldn’t be bad either!

"The Talented Ability Search feature allows the host to search for talented individuals within the host’s territory, five at a time."

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up; this was also good, equivalent to a local God and Demon summoning.

"These features aren’t also triggered by tasks, are they...?"

"The God and Demon replica function can be used once a month, and also be obtained through tasks. The Talented Ability Search function requires tasks to obtain."

Figures it wouldn’t be so easy to get.

"So, do I now have a chance to use the God and Demon replica?" Qin Jun raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes!"

Qin Jun stroked his chin thoughtfully. The God and Demon he currently had at his side included Li Cunxiao, Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, Liu Bowen, and Bai Qi.

"By the way, could the God and Demon encounter unforeseen dangers in the replica? And how long is each visit?" Qin Jun couldn’t help but ask, needing to consider all possibilities before feeling at ease.

"Anything is possible, and as for how long the visit lasts, it depends on the situation. It could be as short as a day or as long as a month."

Damn it!

A month?

Qin Jun immediately decided to save this opportunity; he had also planned to go rescue the little Torch Dragon. What if Yuan Hong required a month’s time?

As Qin Jun was lost in thought, Liu Bowen quickly walked into the courtyard. He came before Qin Jun and said solemnly, "The Four Divine Sect has officially declared war on us!"

"Oh? They finally want to show their true colors?" Qin Jun raised an eyebrow.

The Four Divine Sect had seen the death of the Five Tyrants and the Wicked Axe at their hands, and additionally, over a hundred thousand cultivators had been slain by the Celestial Soldiers Guard. If the Four Divine Sect showed no reaction, how could they continue to have any presence in the masterless lands?

"Yes, and they have also issued a last threat; if we do not evacuate Guarding Slaughter City within three days, the leader of the Four Divine Sect will lead the Left Dragon Hall personally against Guarding Slaughter City!" Liu Bowen nodded, his face devoid of smiles, yet not showing tension either.

Qin Jun sneered, "It seems that before heading to the Black Flame Sect, we need to strike at the Four Divine Sect first!"

Then, after pondering for a moment, he said, "Well then, let’s set off for the Four Divine Sect."

Liu Bowen was overjoyed; this was the rhythm of going to war.

"Call over Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Gang!" Qin Jun waved his hand.

Zhao Gang was the leader of the hundred thousand celestial soldiers, not because he was the strongest, but because he was the most popular and accepted by everyone. However, after joining Qin Jun, Zhao Gang could not hold the same power anymore. But to make Bai Qi and Li Cunxiao take control of the Celestial Soldiers Guard smoothly, Zhao Gang had to contribute.

Liu Bowen nodded, then turned and left.

...

An hour later, Qin Jun and the others left atop clouds with the hundred thousand celestial soldiers, a sight that sparked discussions among the cultivators in the city.

"Why is Young Master Jun Qing leaving with his army?"

"Nonsense! The leader of the Four Divine Sect has spoken himself! How could he not flee?"

"Exactly, the Four Divine Sect is so powerful; only the Black Flame Sect can surpass it in the masterless lands. The Five Tyrants and the Wicked Axe are considered nothing special there."

"Tsk, it seems that Young Master Jun Qing is just a paper tiger."

The discussions within the city reached the ears of You Fenghuang and others, annoying them, yet they also wondered why Qin Jun and his party suddenly left.

Dan Mingzi approached You Fenghuang and asked, "Did Young Master Jun Qing really flee?"

"How could that be possible? That guy has never run away before," You Fenghuang rolled her eyes.

Whether facing the Nanzhuo Dynasty or the Abyss Sect, Qin Jun had never run away. Why would he flee from the much weaker Four Divine Sect?

You Fenghuang’s trust in Qin Jun always baffled Dan Mingzi. You Fenghuang had only left the masterless lands less than a year ago. Could it be that she had made a connection with Qin Jun in this short period?

One thing was certain, though.

That was that his disciple had fallen for Qin Jun and couldn’t be brought back.

...

News of the events in Death Valley and the great battle at Guarding Slaughter City spread throughout the masterless lands within a single day. Observant people discovered that all these events couldn’t avoid involving one person, Jun Qing Young Master!

Even Jin Wuhui publicly declared his desire to face off with Young Master Jun Qing in the Sacred Selection, boosting the latter’s fame to new heights.

What is Sacred Selection?

It’s the sacred dynasty’s assessment event that happens once every fifty years, in which only Transforming Void Realm cultivators are eligible to participate. If they perform well, they can even be appointed officials within the sacred dynasty, leaping through the Dragon Gate to higher status.

Soon after, the Four Divine Sect leader’s declaration of war became the hot topic of discussion across the masterless lands.

In the face of such a strong response from the Four Divine Sect, how would Young Master Jun Qing retaliate?

Will it be withdrawal or a tooth-and-nail fight against the Four Divine Sect?

As various forces speculated, Qin Jun, with the Celestial Soldiers Guard, was quickly flying towards the Four Divine Sect’s mountain gate.

"We’ll probably reach the Four Divine Sect by tomorrow morning, Your Majesty should rest first," Liu Bowen said with a smile, standing behind Qin Jun. All of them were on the Cloud-riding Technique executed by the celestial soldiers, traveling at a speed not slower than that of Transforming Void Realm cultivators. Yet, due to the great distance between Guarding Slaughter City and the Four Divine Sect’s mountain gate, even at their speed, it would still take half a day.

Qin Jun looked towards the horizon and said with a smile, "It’s okay, I was wondering why the masterless lands are without a master."

Liu Bowen’s pupils shrank. He shook his head and smiled, "Perhaps it’s not that there is no master, but rather that the master has concealed themselves."

From the perspective of the Sacred Emperor, Qin Jun would not tolerate the presence of masterless lands within his realm of influence.

However, in the eyes of the Sacred Emperor, the masterless lands were like a city within a kingdom. Perhaps some were deceiving higher authorities; who could say for certain?
