Chapter 388: Chapter 388: Mysterious Canyon [Fourth Update]

After Evening Star and the Eight Immortals left, Liu Bowen quickly entered the courtyard.

He held a jade slip in his hand and approached Qin Jun, saying, "Your Majesty, this jade slip brought by the envoy of the Sacred Dynasty details the way and route to the Sacred Dynasty, as well as a brief introduction to it."

Qin Jun raised his eyebrows, not expecting the Sacred Emperor to be so generous as to reveal information about the Sacred Dynasty.

He took the jade slip and asked curiously, "What about the envoy from the Sacred Dynasty?"

"He’s left, seeming reluctant to meet you," Liu Bowen said with a mix of laughter and helplessness.

With the Hao Ri Alliance severely damaged by King Huang Feng and the sudden appearance of the nine hundred thousand Yellow Turban army, among other events, Qin Jun had been painted as a deity descending to earth, making the Sacred Dynasty’s envoy too intimidated to meet him.

Qin Jun shook his head and chuckled, seeing that he had somehow become akin to a grand demon king.

To his amusement, being seen as a figure that instills fear in others wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

"Your Majesty, there’s less than a month left before you depart for the Sacred Dynasty; is everything ready?" Liu Bowen asked with concern.

The higher you climb, the harder you fall.

With so many powers offended by Qin Jun to date, his upcoming trip to the Sacred Dynasty and the so-called Heavenly Convention promised to be fraught with danger.

"Don’t worry," Qin Jun said with a light smile.

He was well aware of the perils of the Heavenly Convention, but this time, he planned to turn the Sacred Dynasty upside down!

Liu Bowen felt reassured upon hearing this. Qin Jun, though arrogant and domineering, always had a card up his sleeve, and fight after fight had only solidified trust in him.

After Liu Bowen left, Nezha couldn’t hold back and said, "Your Majesty, you have to take me with you to the Heavenly Convention!"

It was not only for the battle but also for Qin Jun’s safety.

Qin Jun, touched by the concern, smiled and said, "Of course, I will take you with me."

His plan was to leave King Huang Feng to guard the city while Chang’e and Nezha accompanied him to the Sacred Dynasty; just the three of them would go.

After all, Great Qin still had to be on guard against the Demon King of Bull and Buddhism from the Western Regions.

Lately, the Demon King of Bull had seemed to vanish without a trace, and the Western Regions’ Buddhism had made no moves. Not even a whisper from Sang Liang reached his ears, suggesting the old monk must have grown fearful.

However, when Buddhism from the Western Regions returned, it would likely be a disaster.

Upon receiving Qin Jun’s consent, Nezha’s face lit up with joy, and not wanting to disturb Qin Jun further, he vanished from the spot.

Then, Qin Jun began to peruse the information within the jade slip with his Divine Consciousness.

He, too, was very interested in the Sacred Dynasty.

As he understood it, the Human Clan was divided between the righteous and the demonious paths—so where exactly did the Sacred Dynasty fit in?

Could it be in the heavens?

...

In the blink of an eye, time swiftly passed.

With the help of the miraculous elixirs provided by Evening Star, Qin Jun’s cultivation soared, breaking through to the seventh layer of the Transforming Void Realm.

Qin Jun had come to savor the thrilling rush of power brought on by such elixirs.

Setting aside conspiracy theories, Sun Wukong’s rapid advancement in cultivation after feasting on the peaches of immortality and swallowing the Grand Supreme Elderly Lord’s elixirs had become so formidable that even Tathāgata had to intervene, revealing just how powerful Sun Wukong was at the time.

One day, Qin Jun was once again greeted by his monthly opportunity to summon God and Demon.

"System, begin the God and Demon summoning!"

Qin Jun said with a smile, wiping the Seven Star Sword with a white cloth.

It was time to summon again!

In ten days, he would set off for the Sacred Dynasty, hoping it wouldn’t disappoint him.

It would be

All the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors are monarchs, it’s best to drop it; they couldn’t suppress those summoned!

The more Qin Jun thought about it, the more excited he became. As he was about to attend the Heavenly Convention, his desire to summon a strong being grew, hoping to bring forth the mightiest force in his command.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning..."

Damn it!

It was actually him!

Qin Jun immediately became ecstatic, his whole body as if injected with chicken blood.

Just at that moment, Liu Bowen hurried into the courtyard, loudly exclaiming, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

Interrupted by him, Qin Jun couldn’t help but angrily say, "What’s with this panic? What could make him so flustered!"

Even Liu Bowen, who now held a top position among the civil servants of Great Qin, was so unsettled, which was a disappointment to Qin Jun.

Of course, it wasn’t because Liu Bowen had interrupted Qin Jun’s excitement.

"A bottomless canyon has suddenly appeared at the Yumen Pass of the kingdom, causing the city wall to collapse instantly, and more than a hundred thousand soldiers have fallen into it, their fates unknown!" Liu Bowen said urgently, and from his tone, one could hear his anxiety and restlessness.

"Send people to check it out. Eight Immortals, Evening Star, Li Bai, Guan Yu, Taming Dragon Arhat, Yuan Hong, Lei Zhenzi, and others, who can’t be dispatched?" Qin Jun said, forcefully suppressing his anger. It’s just this tiny issue!

"Evening Star and the Eight Immortals went to investigate this incident but mysteriously disappeared. Soldiers saw them as if they were sucked into the canyon by some mysterious force," Liu Bowen said through gritted teeth.

Qin Jun immediately frowned, realizing the situation was far more serious than he thought.

"Send Taming Dragon Arhat to take a look!" Qin Jun said solemnly.

Taming Dragon Arhat was considered his second-tier peak fighter, known for being cautious, dispelling demons for thousands of years, and having experienced all sorts of tumultuous events.

"Yes!"

Liu Bowen quickly nodded. With Qin Jun’s decree, he could mobilize people; otherwise, he couldn’t ask Taming Dragon Arhat, Red Boy, Yuan Hong, and others to move.

Liu Bowen turned and left.

Once again, Qin Jun was left alone in the courtyard.

For some reason, he felt uneasy, as if something big was about to happen.

Looking up at the cloudless blue sky, Qin Jun murmured, "Troublesome times, but having gained the help of this God and Demon will make Great Qin safer and stronger."

...

That night, Liu Bowen once again burst into Qin Jun’s courtyard.

"Your Majesty... Taming Dragon Arhat, he..." Liu Bowen said with a gloomy face, hesitating to speak, clearly fearing Qin Jun’s blame.

Fuck!

Could it be that Taming Dragon Arhat has also been sucked into the Mysterious Canyon?

While Qin Jun was having a pleasant conversation with Chang’e, he couldn’t help cursing in his mind, though outwardly he remained composed, "Speak the truth, I won’t blame you!"

"Taming Dragon Arhat has also met with an accident," Liu Bowen said through clenched teeth.

At that point, Qin Jun was completely unsettled.

"Nezha!"

He stood up and called out, and Nezha, who was in the courtyard next door, appeared by his side, bowing and asking, "Your Majesty, what are your orders?"

"You’re coming with me!" Qin Jun said in a deep voice. With his subordinates devoured by the canyon one after the other, he had to go there in person.

"Your Majesty, you must not!" Liu Bowen hurriedly advised. If Qin Jun also fell into it, Great Qin would truly be in chaos.

Qin Jun gestured dismissively, "There’s no need for further words, lead the way!"

Liu Bowen was about to continue persuading, but a look from Qin Jun frightened him into silence.

"Your Majesty, I will accompany you as well," Chang’e spoke up, her voice soft yet indisputable.

Qin Jun frowned, thought for a moment, and then nodded. Having another Golden Immortal Realm expert along made it safer.
