Chapter 563: Chapter 563: The Golden Lotus Army’s Raid

"Bring up Jiang Ziya’s attribute list and take a look!"

Qin Jun suppressed his excitement and urged. The great name of Jiang Ziya was known to countless descendants of Huaxia on Earth.

Not only was he mythologized, but the actual person himself was damn impressive. Summoning him meant that Qin Jun had essentially summoned the pinnacle of civil ministers.

In the future, with Jiang Ziya’s strategies and planning, Qin Jun’s life would be much easier.

Jiang Ziya, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Shen Gongbao, and Evening Star constituted a luxurious lineup of civil ministers.

Soon, Jiang Ziya’s attribute list appeared before Qin Jun:

"Jiang Ziya, Master of Hundred Schools of Thought."

"Race: Human Clan!"

"Cultivation: third level of the True Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Five Elements Real Origin Mnemonic!"

"Mount: elaphure!"

"Magical Items: Beating Divine Whip! Investiture of the Gods! Apricot-yellow Banner!"

"Special Attribute: Six Secret Teachings of Warfare, augments the morale of the entire army and the qi movement of the whole nation!"

"Loyalty: 100 (max value 100)!"

Max loyalty!

And a special attribute that enhances morale and qi movement, simply badass!

Although his cultivation was only at the third level of the True Immortal Realm, Qin Jun didn’t lack strong subordinates, and moreover, Jiang Ziya was never a fighter.

"Why only three magical items?" Qin Jun asked discontentedly in his heart.

"In ’Investiture of the Gods,’ most of Jiang Ziya’s magical items were borrowed, and these three have always stayed with him. Among them, the Apricot-yellow Banner could even withstand Kong Xuan’s five-colored divine light. Be content, Host," said the system helplessly.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun was relieved. If a treasure like the Taiji Diagram had been brought out by Jiang Ziya, would he, the Old Master, have to cry?

He was very curious about the ranks of the Beating Divine Whip, Investiture of the Gods, and the Apricot-yellow Banner, but he couldn’t view the details. He could only find out by asking Jiang Ziya himself.

"Your Majesty, what is making you so happy?" Tang Sanzang finally couldn’t help asking.

Qin Jun had previously been downcast, so why was he suddenly grinning foolishly?

"Nothing much," Qin Jun waved his hand, and after being interrupted by Tang Sanzang, he suddenly couldn’t smile anymore.

What with that guy always wearing an expression of sorrow and compassion, Qin Jun was reminded of Shouxin again.

The mere thought of Shouxin made him feel terrible all over.

...

On the eight-rank flying ship speeding over the sea surface, Qin Jun directly commanded the use of third-rank spiritual stones, traveling a hundred thousand li in a day, incidentally killing untold numbers of demons and sea beasts along the way.

The reason they didn’t travel at top speed was the fear of going too fast to change course in time and crash into a calamity.

Zhu Bajie was swimming in the sea, accompanied by Yang Jian and Diting, who were racing to see who could swim the fastest. Their swimming speed was not inferior to the eight-rank flying ship and was even faster.

Qin Jun, however, did not participate and was instead lying on the deck sunbathing

A day had passed since they set sail, and he was waiting for the return of the Nine-headed Insect.

The Nine-headed Insect, having ascended to the peak of the God and Demon Realm, was expected to be very strong, at the very least not much weaker than Yang Jian.

Yang Jian and the others deliberately didn’t conceal their aura, ensuring that they didn’t encounter any powerful demons along the way.

"Ding! Main quest completed—Advance to Imperial Dynasty! Host is rewarded with one God and Demon summon opportunity, one God and Demon legion summon opportunity, one random draw chance, and a level increase by ten!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the sixth layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the seventh layer of the Earth Immortal Realm!"

...

"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for breaking through to the sixth layer of the True Immortal Realm!"

While Qin Jun was waiting, a series of system notification sounds rang out in his mind, nearly causing his brain to explode.

Boom!

The Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit within his body began to spin wildly, and spiritual energy from all directions surged towards him like hungry wolves pouncing on their prey.

What the hell!

The Great Qin Kingdom has advanced to an Imperial Dynasty?

Qin Jun was overjoyed. Damn, am I really breaking through to the Immortal Realm just like that?

Next to him, Tang Sanzang widened his eyes. What the hell is happening?

He could only sense that Qin Jun’s cultivation was increasing at a speed he couldn’t comprehend, thunder roared along with the gathering of dark clouds, Yan Jian and others quickly flew back, while the slaves on the ship were shivering, overwhelmed by the awe-inspiring heavenly might that frightened them.

Countless streams of spiritual energy poured into the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit, transforming into mana that flowed through his body.

"This speed of breakthrough..." Zhu Bajie was stunned.

Yang Jian frowned deeply, Diting’s eyes were wide open, and Liu Ruolai seemed impressed but confused.

At this moment, Qin Jun was in a state similar to a sublime euphoria; the feeling of unprecedented strength made him impulsively want to howl.

If he wanted to howl, he would howl!

Qin Jun threw back his head and let out a long howl, the sound carrying far and wide.

"Rumble—"

The thunderclouds churned, and golden lotuses fluttered down, with faint images of countless soldiers and horses galloping within the clouds, a spectacular vision.

"Golden Lotus Soldiers Tribulation, isn’t this the heavenly tribulation that only occurs when breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm?"

Tang Sanzang muttered to himself, while the others showed shocked expressions.

Qin Jun was only at the fifth level of the Earth Immortal Realm before, how could he leap to the sixth level of the Immortal Realm in the blink of an eye?

And he also triggered the Golden Lotus Soldiers Tribulation, which was only supposed to happen when breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm, making them fear and awe, considering the possibility that Qin Jun might have already lived for over ten thousand years, even Yang Jian suddenly found it difficult to see through Qin Jun’s foundations.

"Hahaha! I have achieved the status of an Immortal!"

Qin Jun laughed delightedly as the breakthrough into the Immortal Realm meant that he could summon a Taiyi Mysterious Immortal. If he used the God and Demon peak opportunity, perhaps he could make God and Demon break through to the Daluo Realm!

If he had known this would happen, he should have saved the God and Demon summoning opportunity from yesterday.

But no, summoning Jiang Ziya was worth it.

It just so happened that this mission also gave him another God and Demon summoning chance, a God and Demon army summoning chance, and a random lottery draw, a full bounty.

According to the system’s setting, it would take Qin Jun fifty years to promote the Great Qin Kingdom to the Great Qin Imperial Dynasty, but Qin Jun had found an alternative way, directly bypassing this process and uniting the Southern Domain.

Boom!

Golden mana suddenly overflowed from his body, condensing into a gigantic golden halo behind him, which was the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel.

As soon as the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel appeared, Yang Jian and the others couldn’t take their eyes off it.

Although Qin Jun had used this Divine Power in the early hours of the previous day, they didn’t have time to observe before the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel disappeared.

Seeing the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel again, they all felt an oppressive force that seemed to confront the soul directly, including Yang Jian.

"What is this Divine Power?"

Yang Jian’s heart was hit by tumultuous waves, and his eyes were filled with fascination.

Suddenly, a thunderbolt shot down from the sky, and the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel fiercely flew above Qin Jun’s head to shield him from the thunder.

In an instant, lightning flashed, and the thunderbolt was blocked by the Grand Dao Birth Heavenly Wheel. Then, a strange surge of heat poured from the top of Qin Jun’s head to the bottom of his feet, making him feel as though he was basking in a bath, extremely comfortable.

Just then, a figure suddenly flew in from the horizon over the sea, an elderly man dressed in coarse hemp clothing with a long whip tied around his waist, his hair as dry as dead grass casually tied, riding a tall Divine Beast that resembled a deer, sprinting through the void.

The newcomer was Jiang Ziya, riding on the back of the elaphure, his gaze fixed intently on the heavenly tribulation occurring in the sky ahead.

"Golden Lotus Soldiers Tribulation... who is breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm..."

Jiang Ziya’s heart leaped; he himself was only at the third level of the True Immortal Realm, and even with a treasure, facing a Golden Immortal Realm powerhouse would be difficult to win.
