Chapter 415: Chapter 415: Sacred Pear【Third Update】

"Indeed, but be careful moving forward."

Qin Jun nodded, the more people Shen Gongbao instigated, the greater the risk of exposure. From Emperor Di’s perspective, the likes of Shen Gongbao needed to be skinned alive, which was why Qin Jun did not wish to see Shen Gongbao discovered prematurely.

Shen Gongbao nodded, then began to report his specific achievements to Qin Jun. From his first day in the Holy City, the man had begun to lay out his plans, much to Qin Jun’s satisfaction. Fortunately, Shen Gongbao was not his enemy.

If Shen Gongbao had not encountered Jiang Ziya, perhaps the outcome of the Investiture of the Gods would have been different.

Jiu Ling Yuan Saint and Fairy Chang’e were also surprised as they sized up Shen Gongbao; they had not expected someone of the True Immortal Realm to be so scheming and calculating. Although they did not like such people, they were glad and even eager, as he was part of their camp.

Facing the impenetrable God Temple, pulling the majority of the Holy City’s forces to their side to resist together gave them more confidence.

After all, their primary task was to protect Qin Jun at all costs.

Should Qin Jun die, the entire Great Qin would inevitably be disintegrated by various forces. They couldn’t afford to lose!

After Shen Gongbao had reported everything, a stick of incense’s time had passed.

Qin Jun marveled; Shen Gongbao had won over three Golden Immortal Realm powerhouses. Although they were of the lower minor realms, the forces he stirred up were nearly all second-tier in the Holy City.

His abilities were truly formidable, even surpassing the likes of Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang.

Because Shen Gongbao would go all out, sparing no effort, his bottom line was not as high as that of Liu Bowen and the others.

If Shen Gongbao was so impressive, what about Jiang Ziya?

In both mythology and history, Jiang Ziya’s ability among civil officials was perhaps unparalleled.

"Sooner or later, I’ll have to summon him, hmm!"

Qin Jun thought to himself and then stood up to escort Shen Gongbao to the door.

Shen Gongbao had some kind of treasure that could suppress his aura. It was said that the Sacred Emperor had the Holy City in the palm of his hand, and Shen Gongbao did this to avoid detection.

Qin Jun was undoubtedly the person of greatest interest to the Sacred Emperor!

"Your Majesty truly has foresight, deploying this man ahead of time, which has doubled our efforts." Jiu Ling Yuan Saint remarked with a laugh. He did indeed have some admiration; he had originally thought Qin Jun relied on them to force his way into the Holy City, but it now appeared that Qin Jun had laid out a comprehensive plan long ago.

No wonder even in face of the God Temple, he was not panicked.

"Today I intend to delve into Imperial Dynasty affairs, if you wish to go out and have fun, feel free to do so." Qin Jun sat down at the table.

Fairy Chang’e sat down as well and said, "I have no interest. Jiu Ling, you can go find the old man next door and take him out for a bit of guidance."

Her words made Qin Jun nod and smile, "That old fellow is feeling low. Help me deliver him a message."

"What message?" Jiu Ling Yuan Saint asked curiously, having developed an interest in Old Man Yi’s past since learning his identity.

"What’s gone is gone, what’s coming is coming." Qin Jun said with a meaningful smile, actually rather worried that Old Man Yi might be swayed by the Empress Dowager.

Jiu Ling Yuan Saint was momentarily stunned, then burst into a knowing smile and disappeared from the room.

Fairy Chang’e slightly pursed her lips and chastised in a low voice, "Really tactless."

Qin Jun shrugged and chuckled. That’s how I like to speak; what can you do about it?

Afterward, Qin Jun pulled out a scroll and began to peruse information regarding the upgrade of a kingdom to an imperial dynasty. Once the matter of the Heavenly Convention was over, even if Qin Jun conquered the Holy City, he would still have to focus on Great Qin.

So the matter of Great Qin’s upgrade to an imperial dynasty was bound to proceed.

Thus, Qin Jun read through the scroll, Fairy Chang’e quietly sipped tea, and time quietly slipped by.

...

As midday approached, Fairy Chang’e suddenly opened her eyes. With a slap of her right hand, the lid on the teacup flew up, and with another slap, the lid swiftly flew toward a corner.

Bang!

"Ouch—"

A cry of pain echoed, startling Qin Jun so much that he shifted his Divine Consciousness away from the scroll.

He turned to look and saw a short, plump man dressed in leather beast clothing holding his head in the corner. At first glance, Qin Jun immediately recognized him.

Earth Traveler Monkey, with the ability to travel a thousand miles by day, Earth Escape Technique personified!

"Yo, Earth Traveler Monkey, can’t you use the main door?" Qin Jun asked with an arched brow and a smile.

Upon hearing this, Fairy Chang’e realized it was another of Qin Jun’s subordinates.

Earth Traveler Monkey, still holding his head, slowly got to his feet and came to kneel before Qin Jun, exclaiming, "Your Majesty, I am Earth Traveler Monkey. From this day forth, I am willing to go through fire and water for Your Majesty without hesitation!"

His gaze unconsciously drifted towards Fairy Chang’e, and he shuddered. How beautiful!

Seeing this, Qin Jun hummed sternly, "She is to be my future empress, Fairy Chang’e!"

On hearing this, Earth Traveler Monkey immediately snuffed out the flames in his heart. In the story of Investiture of the Gods, his infatuation with Deng Chanyu showed his dedication to love. But once he heard that Chang’e was Qin Jun’s woman, he quickly extinguished the flame, lest he fall deeper.

"Humph, what nonsense!" Chang’e huffed coldly, while Qin Jun simply smiled, not taking further advantage.

He looked to Earth Traveler Monkey and said with a smile, "Earth Traveler Monkey, is this your first visit with me? Aren’t you bringing any gifts?"

Earth Traveler Monkey was taken aback, then quickly caught Qin Jun’s drift. Qin Jun wanted him to showcase his capabilities.

"What does Your Majesty want from the Holy City? I will immediately seize it for you!" Earth Traveler Monkey chuckled. Newcomers needed to display their strength if they wanted to be favored, so he wasn’t opposed to this task.

"It is said that at the peak of Sacred Emperor Mountain grows a fruit tree called the Holy Pear, one bite of which increases one’s cultivation by ten years." Qin Jun said with a smirk, having always remembered this rumor he heard in the marketplaces.

"Holy Pear? What does it look like exactly?" Earth Traveler Monkey asked, intrigued by a fruit capable of increasing ten years’ worth of cultivation.

"The fruit is fist-sized, reddish in color; the tree is as thick as a mountain column, standing about fifty yards tall," Qin Jun recalled.

Earth Traveler Monkey nodded and said with a grin, "All right then, Your Majesty, wait for the good news!"

With that, he leapt up and burrowed into the floor, vanishing without a trace. Strangely, the floor wasn’t even broken.

"Could this guy also know some kind of wood escape technique?" Qin Jun marveled.

Chang’e rolled her eyes, "He simply teleported away. Simple trickery."

Earth Traveler Monkey had been detected by her the moment he appeared, and she had promptly struck him.

"Is that guy really up to the task? The Sacred Emperor has the cultivation of the second layer of the Golden Immortal Realm," Chang’e mentioned casually.

Hearing this made Qin Jun’s heart jump, the second layer of the Golden Immortal Realm?

But on second thought, if the Sacred Emperor weren’t so strong, how could he have escaped from the level Plain Demon Sovereign?

"Don’t worry, Earth Traveler Monkey’s Earth Escape Technique is superb; the Sacred Emperor won’t catch him," Qin Jun reassured with a smile, knowing that Earth Traveler Monkey also possessed the Binding Immortal Rope.

If Earth Traveler Monkey died at Sacred Emperor Peak, it would just show that he wasn’t suited to participate in the upcoming battles.

This was also a test!

"By the way, Fairy Chang’e, I have recently learned a new spell. Would you help me see how effective it is?" Qin Jun asked Chang’e with a smile, clearly referring to the Acupoint Technique.
