Chapter 474: Chapter 474: Qi Movement Tempering Body [Fourth Update]

"That’s the Wheel of Fate!"

Seven Star Official Yao Xu cried out in alarm, and the entire Heavenly God Temple exploded with commotion. Even the composed Great Star Officials started to breathe rapidly.

As soon as the Golden Compass appeared, they recognized it.

"How is that possible! Isn’t the Wheel of Fate our God Temple’s divine treasure?"

"Have you forgotten? The Wheel of Fate of our temple is only one part of it. It’s said that there are many fragments of the Wheel of Fate within the Heavenly Realm, but they can no longer be repaired into the Wheel of Fate."

"What do you mean there are other Wheels of Fate?"

"The Temple Lord, by means of the Wheel of Fate, slaughtered his way through the four quarters and shocked the Eight Wildernesses. If..."

The Star Officials were abuzz with discussion, most of them displaying covetousness in their eyes.

The reason why the temple has stood for tens of thousands of years is because of the existence of the Wheel of Fate.

Each generation’s Temple Lord has gained understanding of the Dao through the Wheel of Fate, escaped death because of the Wheel of Fate, and deterred the various powers of heaven and earth with the Wheel of Fate.

Three Star Official Black Butterfly Fairy started trembling all over. She covered her mouth delicately, tears twinkling in her eyes. Others thought she too was eyeing the Wheel of Fate, but it was actually otherwise.

"So it is you... Even the Wheel of Fate retains half, is this your contingency plan..."

There was a complicated look in Black Butterfly Fairy’s beautiful eyes, and an imposing figure, standing tall and upright, emerged in her mind.

Meanwhile, the Great Star Official’s eyes flickered, unclear what he was thinking.

Yao Xu quickly stood up, speaking in a grave tone, "The Wheel of Fate is of great significance. Should we report this to the Temple Lord?"

The hall fell into silence; no one answered.

Yao Xu instantly understood, a sly smile creeping up in the corner of his mouth. He chuckled darkly, "We have no solid evidence to prove it is the Wheel of Fate just yet. Let’s not report it for now and first investigate further."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked towards the Great Star Official, their eyes meeting.

Yao Xu’s smile broadened, for he saw ambition in the eyes of the Great Star Official.

Perhaps the Great Star Official was indeed loyal to the Temple Lord, but when it came to the Wheel of Fate, no one could restrain themselves.

If they got the Wheel of Fate, they might also have the opportunity to compete for the position of Temple Lord.

Nobody wanted to stay as just a Star Official forever; they all wanted to climb higher.

"Mhm!"

The Great Star Official responded gruffly, causing the other Star Officials to look at each other in uncertainty. Nobody expected even the Great Star Official could not resist the temptation of the Wheel of Fate.

While the Star Officials could hardly contain their ambitions, Qin Jun also became tense.

The Wheel of Fate was of great importance, and now leaving his body, he felt reluctant and panicked, as if someone had stolen something precious from his home.

"What’s going on..."

Qin Jun widened his eyes in shock, and Yang Jian turned around to reassure him, "Don’t worry, Your Majesty. Your precious treasure of qi movement is absorbing the essence of the Sea Dragon that just appeared."

The essence of the Five-headed Flood Dragon was a manifestation of a treasure of qi movement. Qin Jun knew this beforehand, so upon hearing Yang Jian’s words, he relaxed immediately.

He couldn’t help but look towards Lil’ Devil Monarch, who was still in a state of shock, and with a cunning glint in his eye, he immediately flew towards him with his sword.

He didn’t want to miss the task of defeating all the participants.

But as soon as Lil’ Devil Monarch saw him rushing over, he turned tail and fled in fright.

Qin Jun stopped, his face full of speechlessness.

Are you kidding me? You’re one of the top talents hailed at the Heavenly Convention, why are you being such a coward?

It wasn’t really Lil’ Devil Monarch’s fault, as anyone who had witnessed Qin Jun’s earlier display would have felt intimidated.

With the aid of the Wheel of Fate, Qin Jun’s strength increased tenfold, if not dozens of times. His destructive power was so astonishing that it was almost breaking through the pinnacle of the Immortal Realm’s cultivators.

Outside the thick fog, the talents from the Southern Domain were taken aback when they saw the Lil’ Devil Monarch running away.

"Lil’ Devil Monarch got scared away by His Majesty?"

"So powerful! Worthy of being our Great Qin’s Heavenly Imperial Majesty!"

"If His Majesty grows up, he might truly lead the Southern Domain to new heights!"

"Our Southern Domain is going to shine!"

They knew very well what Lil’ Devil Monarch represented.

A seed player of the Heavenly Convention, a true talent at the top of the pyramid. Only Dongfang Ji could contend with him, and now there was another, and they were from the same domain. How could they not be excited?

"Amitabha!"

Jin Chanzi joined his palms together and also couldn’t help but look up at the stars.

He did not witness the descent of divine powers but clearly felt that the Five-headed Flood Dragon had been possessed by another will just a moment ago, a being whose strength far exceeded his own.

That powerful entity certainly did not belong to the Heavenly Realm; perhaps it was a high-ranking figure from the God Temple.

Soon enough, the Wheel of Fate flew out from the dust and quickly approached Qin Jun to stop in front of him.

"This is..."

Qin Jun looked closely and saw a miniature white skeleton floating on the surface of the Wheel of Fate. By its outline, it seemed to be a dragon’s spine. Could this be that treasure of qi movement?

He was about to touch it when the Wheel of Fate, along with the dragon spine, burrowed into his chest.

Boom!

In an instant, Qin Jun’s aura surged dramatically, and even he stared at his hands in disbelief.

At the same time, there was an uproar around the Heavenly Convention platform of Great Qin’s heavenly court.

"Look, everyone! His Majesty’s pillar of qi movement is soaring!"

"One hundred meters... one hundred and twenty meters... one hundred and fifty meters..."

"My heavens! Did His Majesty do something?"

"The ranking of the Southern Domain is also rising!"

Everyone became excited, including Daji and Chang’e who came out of the pavilion, their cheers and screams filling the heavens and earth, creating a tumultuous and blood-pumping atmosphere.

Qin Jun’s pillar of qi movement rose at an incredibly rapid rate and soon broke through the two hundred meter mark. In contrast, Jin Wuhui barely surpassed fifty meters, and of the rest, only a few broke the twenty-meter threshold, a sight that was awe-inspiring.

The ranking of the Southern Domain in the Heavenly Convention also rose successively by three spots, reaching the twenty-first place.

"Daji’s palms clenched tightly, her heart filled with relief and anxiety.

She had guessed early on that Qin Jun would turn the Heavenly Convention upside down, but she did not expect that day to come so soon.

Listening to the millions of cheers from below, Chang’e felt an odd wave of emotion wash over her.

Suddenly, she understood why so many people fought for fame and fortune.

After a long while, Qin Jun’s surging qi finally subsided. He was shocked to find that his cultivation had not increased, but his mana had become much more solid and profound, and his physical strength had greatly improved.

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, on your qi-enhanced body. This is a rare opportunity," Yang Jian said with a smile and a bow.

When the Investiture of the Gods had ended, and he had received his divine rank, he too had experienced this qi enhancement of the body and understood its benefits well.

The only difference was that he had been constrained to the celestial court, whereas Qin Jun remained free and unfettered.

"Qi-enhanced body?"

Qin Jun murmured to himself, looking at his hands, his face filled with joy.

"Hum—"

The dragon qi within him began to twist frenetically, his body becoming elongated as if it had been strengthened, but it did not break through to a Five-clawed Golden Dragon.

"Hmph!"

Just then, a cold snort as if from a heavenly god reverberated, almost bursting Qin Jun’s eardrums. He and Yang Jian both looked up simultaneously.
