The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 529 Tang Sanzang

Chapter 529: Chapter 529 Tang Sanzang

"System, is it easy to trigger a God and Demon peak opportunity?"

Qin Jun asked in his heart. If, after this opportunity, there was a long period without triggering another, that would be depressing. Unlike the God and Demon summoning opportunity and the God and Demon copy opportunity, there wasn’t one peak opportunity every month.

"It depends on the host’s qi movement," the System said mysteriously.

It’s that temperament again!

Qin Jun hesitated for a moment then decided to let Jin Chanzi use the God and Demon peak opportunity first. What if they later encountered a situation even Yang Jian couldn’t cope with?

As for the Nine-headed Insect, this fellow was too sharp and had just joined the team, so he was the first to be ruled out.

And Zhu Bajie, who was already at his limit, was even less likely.

"Jin Chanzi, do you want to become stronger?"

Qin Jun’s voice was cold and indifferent as he spoke, intending to elevate Jin Chanzi to the peak in front of the others, both to intimidate the gods and demons and to give them an illusion.

Jin Chanzi was startled, then subconsciously replied, "Of course."

Zhu Bajie, the Nine-headed Insect, Yang Jian, and Liu Ruolai all looked at him in surprise.

"System, elevate Jin Chanzi to the peak!" Qin Jun thought inwardly, while outwardly he smiled mysteriously and said, "Jin Chanzi, I grant you the state of utmost strength that you ought to possess!"

No sooner had these words been spoken than everyone was perplexed, except for Yang Jian, who began to tremble with excitement.

He remembered the scene when the System had elevated him to the peak. In one night, he had recalled his past life, and his cultivation had soared. Now, seeing Qin Jun use this supreme Divine Power on someone else, how could he not be excited?

"Your Majesty, what exactly are you..." Jin Chanzi asked in confusion, but before he could finish his question, his body suddenly flew up uncontrollably.

At the same time, a black hole appeared above Qin Jun’s head, drawing Jin Chanzi into it, and he disappeared without a trace.

Whoosh—

Zhu Bajie, the Nine-headed Insect, and Yang Jian all gasped in astonishment, because they could not see how Qin Jun had removed Jin Chanzi just now; the black hole appeared too quickly and disappeared just as fast.

Within a few miles, there was no longer any trace of Jin Chanzi’s presence, as if he had evaporated from the world.

This eerie scene made these masters, who had reached the Taiyi Realm, feel a chill down to their bones.

Qin Jun, who appeared weak in their eyes, actually possessed Divine Powers beyond their imagination.

"Your Majesty... where is my master..." Zhu Bajie asked dumbfoundedly.

Liu Ruolai and Diting looked at Qin Jun, stunned. They knew Jin Chanzi was far stronger than Qin Jun, but in that moment, Jin Chanzi seemed even weaker in front of Qin Jun.

"At the latest by tomorrow, I will send him back."

Qin Jun tried to appear mysterious and inscrutable as he spoke, causing Zhu Bajie and the others to feel an even deeper reverence toward him.

Especially Yang Jian, even with his soaring cultivation, he still couldn’t see how Qin Jun had achieved that.

"Qi movement Emperor... no, there must be other identities."

Diting thought as it looked at Qin Jun, but as it was ultimately subject to Qin Jun, it didn’t dare to be too presumptuous and therefore kept silent.

The journey onwards was somewhat silent, with even Zhu Bajie contemplating where Qin Jun had sent Jin Chanzi.

The way was wordless.

...

The moon set and the sun rose.

At the break of the next day, as it dawned, Qin Jun’s consciousness was pulled back from cultivation by the system’s notification sound:

"Ding! Jin Chanzi has been restored to the God and Demon peak!"

Qin Jun opened his eyes, took a deep breath, and began to wait for Jin Chanzi’s return.

The others were still in the midst of their cultivation, except for Zhu Bajie, who was snoring soundly in his sleep.

"Bring up Jin Chanzi’s attribute list!" Qin Jun ordered in his mind.

He was eager to see just how strong Jin Chanzi had become after being elevated to the peak!

The next second, a screen that only he could see appeared before his eyes:

"Jin Chanzi, from Journey to the West."

"Identity: Tathāgata’s second disciple!"

"Cultivation: Mid-phase of the Taiyi Xuanxian Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Leiyin Buddha Dharma!"

"Divine Powers: Tathāgata’s Divine Palm! Thousands of Thoughts Sacred Mantra!"

"Loyalty: 99 (Full Value 100)!"

Mid-phase of the Taiyi Xuanxian Realm!

And loyalty is almost at full value!

A touch of joy flashed across Qin Jun’s eyes, and he also noticed that Jin Chanzi had acquired two new divine powers, Tathāgata’s Divine Palm and Thousands of Thoughts Sacred Mantra.

Xuan Qing of the Western Region’s Buddhism had once performed Tathāgata’s Buddha Palm, which was vivid in his memory; Tathāgata’s Divine Palm must be an advanced version.

Qin Jun couldn’t help thinking about the martial arts novels he had read in his past life—was this a name collision?

But that was a mere mortal version, weak in power, whereas Jin Chanzi’s Tathāgata’s Divine Palm could shatter mountains and sever rivers.

Just then, a black hole appeared over his head again, and a burst of golden light startled Yang Jian and the others into opening their eyes and turning their heads with expressions of shock.

They saw Jin Chanzi step out of the black hole, his body radiating Buddhalight, a halo behind him, hands joined in prayer, eyes closed, and an expression of stern dignity on his face.

"Master... Father?" Zhu Bajie called out tremulously, as the aura being emitted by Jin Chanzi sent shivers down his spine.

The Nine-headed Insect clenched his fists even tighter, feeling a sense of powerlessness before Jin Chanzi despite resenting the fact that just the day before, Jin Chanzi had seemed like an existence he could easily crush.

Jin Chanzi slowly opened his eyes, scanned the group, his gaze landed on Qin Jun, and then quickly fell upon the clouds. He knelt devoutly before Qin Jun and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Qin Jun blinked. He felt that something about Jin Chanzi was different.

"Are you Tang Sanzang or Jin Chanzi?" Qin Jun asked with a smile, startling Zhu Bajie into excitement and moving Yang Jian.

Jin Chanzi had lost his frivolous air and gained a more compassionate and resolute demeanor, prompting Qin Jun to ask this question.

After retrieving the scriptures, Tang Monk was sure to receive the most rewards since he was a true disciple of Buddhism—it wasn’t impossible for him to reach the Taiyi Xuanxian Realm.

"Jin Chanzi and Tang Sanzang are but codenames for this mortal shell," Jin Chanzi said softly.

Zhu Bajie grew even more excited upon hearing this, clearly understanding that Jin Chanzi had now become Tang Sanzang.

"From now on, let’s call you Sanzang!" Qin Jun laughed. After all, Tang Monk was a very famous person—even though most people disliked him.

Because this fellow was a classic holy mother.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Sanzang is willing to die a thousand deaths for Your Majesty, Amitabha," Tang Sanzang said as he stood up with a smile.

Yang Jian had been observing Tang Sanzang and was surprised to find that Tang Sanzang had reached the Taiyi Xuanxian Realm as well.

Of course, he was still absolutely confident he could crush Tang Sanzang.

Glancing at Zhu Bajie, Qin Jun smiled and said, "All we’re missing for the westward journey now are Sun Wukong and the little white dragon, and Sha Wujing is waiting for you in the Southern Domain."

Sun Wukong!

That name alarmed Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang, Diting, and Yang Jian.

The Nine-headed Insect hadn’t been beheaded yet, meaning he wasn’t from the Journey to the West that followed; he must be from before it started. But even he frowned upon hearing the name Sun Wukong, having presumably heard of Sun Wukong’s Havoc in Heaven.

"Your Majesty might find it difficult to subdue that monkey, right?" Yang Jian asked with a raised eyebrow. He wasn’t questioning Qin Jun but was genuinely curious.

Even the Jade Emperor and the Tathāgata had been unable to win Sun Wukong’s wholehearted service—could Qin Jun?

"Why subdue?" Qin Jun asked with a teasing smile.

Regarding Sun Wukong, Qin Jun had no desire to be harsh.
