The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 375

Chapter 375: 375

"Chang’e, from ancient mythology."

"Identity: Moon Goddess!"

"Cultivation: First level of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Taiyin Scripture!"

"Divine Power: Moonlight!"

"Loyalty: 89 (maximum value 100)!"

First level of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun’s eyes widened in surprise, clearly Chang’e’s power was beyond his expectations, and he couldn’t help asking, "Is Chang’e really that strong?"

"Chang’e is the daughter of one of the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors of ancient times, Emperor Di Ku, and these Sovereigns and Emperors are from the mythology," the system explained.

Historically, the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors were surely only mortals, but in mythology, they must be overwhelmingly powerful.

Qin Jun’s understanding of Chang’e was still limited to Hou Yi’s wife and the depictions in Journey to the West. Some joked that Chang’e was the Jade Emperor’s mistress, and Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal realm for flirting with Chang’e, becoming a pig fetus—an utterly tragic fate.

Of course, there were also conspiracy theories suggesting that the conflict between Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng and Chang’e was just an act, all for the purpose of successfully infiltrating Tianpeng into the team heading to the West.

Qin Jun suddenly noticed that Chang’e’s attribute list did not show her coming from Journey to the West, but from ancient mythology.

This was worth pondering.

Although Chang’e’s strength had never been revealed, she had the power to make Heavenly Marshal Tianpeng suffer, plus she was Emperor Di Ku’s daughter, so her natural talent was certainly not poor. Cultivating on the moon for countless years and reaching the Golden Immortal Realm was quite normal.

"Speaking of which, why doesn’t she summon Hou Yi as well?" Qin Jun couldn’t help fantasizing, as a Hou Yi expert in archery would surely be strong.

"Hou Yi is too strong. If he were connected with Chang’e, the host might not be able to contain him. Besides, Hou Yi and Chang’e have ties but no predestined fate. Therefore, the system completely separated the two in parallel universes. This Chang’e is still the one who, due to the Queen Mother of the West’s elixir, ascended to the moon, enduring loneliness for an eternity," the system explained.

Qin Jun suddenly understood. There were many versions of the story between Hou Yi and Chang’e. Some said that Chang’e wanted to become an immortal, so she ate the elixir and ascended. Others said Chang’e fell for the Queen Mother of the West’s scheme and took the elixir by mistake. There was even a version where Hou Yi cheated with the wife of the River God, and in fury, Chang’e consumed the elixir to ascend. The stories varied widely.

It is worth mentioning that before the Eastern Han dynasty, there were no records or literature proving a relationship between Hou Yi and Chang’e, but later novels and literary works have often linked them together.

If Chang’e was already so strong, how powerful would Hou Yi be, who was even stronger than her, and whom even the system didn’t dare to link with her?

"Enough, having one Chang’e is more than enough. I should be content with one more Golden Immortal Realm expert," Qin Jun shook his head and sighed. His initial excitement had dissipated, and compared to Chang’e, he looked forward more to Hou Yi.

By the way, does this make Chang’e single now?

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up, and he quickly chanted, "Form is emptiness, emptiness is form."

It seemed he would have to let Daji enter the God and Demon challenge in the future, or else he wouldn’t be able to control Chang’e.

As he thought about it, Qin Jun began to practice his swordsmanship.

...

Night gradually fell, and Qin Jun and his companions were seated in the courtyard eating. The corner oil lamp illuminated the entire yard. Ordinary cultivators generally forgo meals, but Qin Jun continued the tradition, and the ingredients he ate were all spiritual items, extravagantly beneficial without any harm.

Daji, You Fenghuang, Li, Wang Xue, and Qin Jun sat at one table, while the rest sat at other tables.

"Come, come, come, help yourselves to the food."

Qin Jun continuously served Wang Xue dishes, which made Li pout and hum, "Brother Qin Jun is playing favorites!"

Hearing this, Qin Jun was forced to serve her some dishes as well.

Daji rolled her eyes and said, "His Majesty is surely thinking about how to get Wang Xue into bed!"

At this, Wang Xue’s face immediately turned bright red, and the moonlight shining on her silver hair made her look as beautiful as a moon goddess.

With an air of righteous indignation, Qin Jun said, "What nonsense, I simply want to treat her well, that’s all."

"Hehe," Daji’s face showed disbelief, and You Fenghuang had the same expression.

Li seemed to have thought of something and began to giggle foolishly, causing Wang Xue to wish she could find a hole to crawl into.

"Eh? What’s that?"

Just then, You Fenghuang exclaimed, pointing at the night sky, drawing the attention of Qin Jun and the others to look over.

Amid the night sky filled with countless stars, a meteor streaked across, exceptionally dazzling, even brightening the night sky.

Qin Jun blinked, such a bright light, who was showing off?

"Ding! Side quest triggered—Descent of the Moon Goddess! Quest details: Chang’e has descended from beyond the heavens, and the host must find her within five days. Once the host approaches, she will awaken. If successful, Chang’e’s loyalty will increase, and the host will receive a random draw reward. If failed, Chang’e’s loyalty will decrease, and there is even the possibility of her defection!"

The sudden system notification caught Qin Jun off guard.

Damn!

What kind of quest was this?

Qin Jun was not willing to let Chang’e get away from him, after all, she was a Taiyi Golden Immortal!

"Could that meteor be Chang’e?"

Qin Jun wondered in his heart and stood up, frowning as he looked into the night sky.

"Yes."

The system’s answer gave Qin Jun a headache.

Immediately, he shouted to Nezha, "Nezha, come with me for a few days!"

As he spoke, he leapt into the air, with clouds forming beneath his feet. Nezha, though confused, obediently got up.

"Your Majesty, where are you going?" Daji asked hurriedly.

Qin Jun turned and smiled at her, "Don’t worry, it’s just for a few days. I’ll be back soon!"

With those words, he flew in the direction of the meteor, Nezha closely following behind.

The rest looked at each other, faces full of confusion, and Li Yuanba muttered, "He must be going to fight, otherwise why bring Nezha along."

His words only made Daji and the other girls worry more, while Yuan Hong and others cursed inwardly, this silly boy really didn’t know how to speak.

...

Whiz—

Qin Jun and Nezha rode the clouds at high speed, with the fast-moving meteor right above them.

"Your Majesty, why are we chasing it?" Nezha couldn’t help but ask, as he was looking forward to a good night’s sleep.

"Of course, there’s an urgent matter!" Qin Jun glared at him. Before they encountered Chang’e, he decided it was best not to reveal anything, in case he couldn’t explain himself.

How did he know someone was hidden in the meteor?

How did he calculate that Chang’e was powerful?

These questions were too troublesome to explain, so he simply chose not to explain at all.

"Can you lock onto its path?" Qin Jun asked, pointing at the meteor in the night sky. Nezha was currently controlling the clouds, so their flying speed was incredibly fast.

"I should be able to, but it’s moving too fast to predict how far it will go," Nezha said with a frown.

In other words, the meteor might fly out of the Southern Domain.

Qin Jun cursed the system under his breath for making Chang’e appear in such a manner.

Unfortunately, the system offered no explanation, so he could only grit his teeth and give chase. To summon a Taiyi Golden Immortal was no easy feat, let alone a goddess.

If Chang’e were to be taken away by someone else, Qin Jun would certainly be spitting blood.

Whiz—

The two rode the clouds at high speed, sweeping over the forests below, stirring up a gale that scattered the leaves.
