Chapter 441: Chapter 441: Breaking Through to Earth Immortal

Chanting—

Under the night sky, in the square in front of the palace, Qin Jun, clad in white, practiced his spear technique. Golden dragon energy and silver dragon spirit twined around him, biting wherever the spear thrust, a spectacular sight against the backdrop of the night.

The spear moved like the wind, unstoppable!

Qin Jun became increasingly exhilarated, stabbing forward with one hand, as golden dragon energy and silver dragon spirit intertwined and roared into flight.

"Boom—"

The explosion was deafening, and dust rose nearly a hundred meters high; stones flew in all directions, whipping up a wind that made Qin Jun’s white garment flap loudly.

Zhu Yanqing, draped in brocade robes in front of the palace, watched silently, beaming with pride. She had seen Qin Jun climb from the Golden Elixir Realm to the peak of the Transforming Void Realm and knew full well that his talent was unmatched in this era.

One after another, celestial soldiers flew rapidly towards them, thinking Qin Jun was under attack, and the high-ranking officers, with a sweep of their Divine Consciousness, soon understood what was happening.

When they saw Qin Jun practicing his spear, they exchanged glances.

"Truly worthy of His Majesty, still cultivating so late!"

"Nonsense, they say His Majesty is about to break through the Earth Immortal Realm."

"Tsk, the Earth Immortal Realm. With such cultivation, one could dominate the Southern Domain—an unprecedented feat!"

"Let’s disperse, don’t disturb His Majesty’s cultivation."

The celestial soldiers whispered among themselves as they dispersed.

And after today, the news that Qin Jun was still diligently cultivating deep into the night would spread throughout the land, setting him up as the role model for the younger generation.

If Qin Jun, standing at the pinnacle of the Southern Domain, was working so hard, what excuse did you have to be lazy?

The moon set, and the sun rose.

The morning sunlight entered the Holy City.

"The Heavenly Convention cannot be delayed. You must be careful there with the Sacred Emperor, and it would be best to learn the way to initiate the Heavenly Convention."

In the grand hall, Qin Jun instructed Liu Bowen and the Nine Spirits Saints. Now that the celestial soldiers and the Jiuli demon soldiers had returned, the Nine Spirits Saints no longer needed to act personally.

Liu Bowen nodded, smiling, "By the way, General Guan hopes Your Majesty will take Zilong to the Heavenly Convention as well, for mutual support."

Zhao Yun?

Qin Jun was enlightened; no wonder Zhao Yun had come while Guan Yu had not.

Upon closer consideration, Zhao Yun might not have even reached a hundred years old, but he already possessed the cultivation of the Earth Immortal Realm, a truly exceptional talent.

Guan Yu himself had once been a gate-keeping marshal in Heaven, and then entered the era of the late Eastern Han within the Journey to the West timeline; amassing his age, he was no longer among the young, hence he could only send Zhao Yun for protection.

But did Qin Jun need Zhao Yun’s protection now?

Although that’s what he thought, Qin Jun didn’t refuse. The Heavenly Convention was a grand event for competing for qi movement, and it would be beneficial to have another young expert present.

Qin Jun, now the leader of the Human Clan in the Southern Domain, understood that as long as they had a shred of common sense, those talents would not dare trouble him.

"Report—"

Just then, a celestial soldier ran in quickly.

The hundred thousand celestial soldiers had already been appointed by Qin Jun as the guard army of the Sacred Emperor’s Peak. The soldier knelt before Qin Jun and urgently said, "Your Majesty, an army of a hundred thousand men, each with the cultivation of the Transforming Void Realm, has appeared outside the Holy City, claiming to be the Tianhe Naval Forces here to pledge allegiance to Your Majesty."

"Oh? They’ve come so quickly." Qin Jun smiled with delight.

Liu Bowen inhaled sharply—an army of a hundred thousand Transforming Void Realm cultivators?

How had he never heard of the Tianhe Naval Forces before?

"Bo Wen, Nine Spirits Saints, both of you go take a look. If they can be trusted, you are in charge of the arrangements," Qin Jun said with a smile. As Qin Jun didn’t consider it proper to personally greet a mere army and risk diminishing his stature, with Liu Bowen’s wisdom and the formidable strength of the Nine Spirits Saints presiding, they believed the Tianhe Naval Forces would soon be integrated into the Great Qin Heaven’s Court.

"Yes!"

A man and a demon nodded, bowing hands before turning to leave.

Qin Jun watched their retreating figures, pondered for a moment, then leapt into the air towards the imperial garden at the summit of the Sacred Emperor’s Peak.

At the top of the Sacred Emperor’s Peak, in the imperial garden, Old Man Yi and Sha Wujing were making preparations.

In the center of the garden, on an open space, stood a cauldron with waves of medicinal fragrance emanating from it. Surrounding the cauldron, Old Man Yi arranged array instruments at eight positions, and as the breeze blew, leaves fluttered about, Qin Jun slowly descended.

"How are the preparations coming?" Qin Jun asked. With just six days until the Heavenly Convention, he had to break through the Earth Immortal Realm in such a short time.

Success was the only option, failure was not!

"We’re almost ready," Old Man Yi replied, bustling about while Qin Jun stood by quietly observing.

Sha Wujing continuously placed precious heavenly materials and earthly treasures into the cauldron, all extremely valuable. Qin Jun, as the leader of the Human Clan in the Southern Domain, could gather such treasures with just a word, without difficulty.

Many offered these treasures willingly, hoping to curry favor with him.

About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense passed, and Sha Wujing stepped back, allowing Old Man Yi to begin activating the array.

With the cauldron as the center, a red flag stood at each of the eight positions. Old Man Yi raised both hands, and instantly, spiritual energy gathered visibly, swirling like a green twister, leaving Qin Jun in awe.

"You know arrays too?" Qin Jun asked, curious.

Old Man Yi waved his hand, laughing, "One must be versatile to survive in the jianghu."

"..."

Qin Jun raised the middle finger at him, thinking, wasn’t he afraid of being struck by lightning for showing off?

"Alright, Your Majesty, you can jump in now," Sha Wujing urged.

What?

Jump in?

Qin Jun’s gaze fell on the bubbling cauldron, and he couldn’t help swallowing, "Are you joking?"

"Don’t worry, it’s not actually hot inside, it’s just bubbling on the surface," Sha Wujing reassured.

"We’ve added flaming Katy, and that’s a rare treasure worth a fortune!" Old Man Yi said with disdain, as though accusing him of being cowardly.

Hearing this, Qin Jun bit his lip, jumped, and with a splash, entered the cauldron.

Cold!

The instant he was inside, Qin Jun shivered and wasted no time in operating the cultivation method of the Undying Saint Body.

He had abandoned the Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique. Although the Undying Saint Body was a physical cultivation method, it also included a cultivation technique. He kept refining spiritual energy in an endless cycle, pushing for breakthroughs without knowing the limit yet.

If ever he found a more suitable cultivation method in the future, he would change then!

Boom!

With spiritual energy and medicinal strength entering his body, Qin Jun felt an internal explosion. In that moment, a mysterious flame pattern once again appeared on his forehead. Chanting, golden dragon energy, uncontrolled, overflowed from his body, spiraling above his head.

"Having done all you can, it’s now up to Destiny," Old Man Yi said with a laugh, sitting on the ground.

He turned to Sha Wujing, "I’ll be guarding here these few days, remember to deliver food and drink on time."

Sha Wujing hesitated for a moment, then nodded. Old Man Yi was considered the number one under Qin Jun, and even the Nine Spirits Saints felt inferior; even if Old Man Yi had ulterior motives, Sha Wujing could do nothing about it.

Moreover, Qin Jun had once said that Old Man Yi could be trusted.
