The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 567: Six-Eared Macaque

Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Six-Eared Macaque

Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Insect had come to a temporary resolution. Once the Nine-headed Insect realized that Yang Jian was indeed more formidable by a fraction, he fell in line. Besides, Qin Jun had stated that neither of them was the strongest of all; why should he be so fixated on this?

As for Yang Jian, he was the type of person who respected those with greater abilities. Just like in "Journey to the West," even though Sun Wukong was treated as a pawn, Yang Jian was bold enough to clink glasses and cheer with Sun Wukong, joining forces to resist the Nine-headed Insect.

Clearly, the Nine-headed Insect had earned Yang Jian’s acknowledgment.

"Alright, you two go rest and heal up!" Qin Jun said as he waved his hand. The outcome of Yang Jian’s and the Nine-headed Insect’s duel didn’t surprise him much. Had one side been utterly crushed, he would have been more skeptical.

Zhu Bajie and Jiang Ziya followed Yang Jian, eager to ask about the details of the battle, while Tang Sanzang returned to his corner to continue his chanting.

"Look over there; they’re really incredible!" exclaimed Liu Ruolai, pointing towards the sea’s horizon, which grabbed Qin Jun’s attention. Black spatial fissures were appearing above the sea’s horizon. As the magic ship moved forward, the cracks grew larger, a testament to the terror that was Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Insect.

The Taiyi Realm is divided into three levels: Taiyi Golden Immortal, Taiyi Loose Immortal, and Taiyi Mysterious Immortal!

Both the Nine-headed Insect and Yang Jian stood at the peak of the Taiyi Realm, heights that Qin Jun looked up to.

He couldn’t know when he would reach the level of a Taiyi Mysterious Immortal.

But at present, he was only at the sixth tier of the Immortal Realm, far from the Taiyi Realm with the True Immortal Realm and Golden Immortal Realm in between. It was not an achievement that could be reached overnight.

"Keep cultivating!" Qin Jun said, then turned and left to prepare for rest.

Liu Ruolai watched the horizon for a moment before starting his seated cultivation, wishing to catch up with Qin Jun’s progress as soon as possible.

"System, haven’t you finished repairs yet?" Qin Jun asked as he walked, cursing inwardly, "Don’t you dare swallow my opportunity to summon a God and Demon this time!"

"The repairs are completed," the system responded, though the tone seemed somewhat helpless.

"Then who have I summoned?" Qin Jun hurriedly asked. Since the system was repaired, why were there no prompts?

He felt a sense of foreboding.

"There are two reasons for the system’s disruption this time: first, the host has summoned more than forty Gods and Demons; second, it relates to the God or Demon in question. Therefore, the system has automatically upgraded. The host’s attribute list has changed, and the chance to summon Gods and Demons is no longer once a month!"

Damn it!

Qin Jun immediately became unsettled. This was definitely a pitfall!

"Doesn’t this weaken me?" Qin Jun protested anxiously in his mind.

"The reason for removing the once-a-month God and Demon summoning chance is twofold. First, the host has broken through the Immortal Realm and no longer needs the system’s protection. Second, although we removed this setting, there are now no limitations on the host’s future God and Demon summoning— it’s all down to luck, with three chances to re-summon each time. Additionally, after finalizing a summon, there’ll be an option to restore prior life’s memories or not!"

Three chances to re-summon!

And even an option to restore previous life’s memories!

Qin Jun’s eyes lit up. The once-a-month chance to summon Gods and Demons could at most summon a Taiyi Mysterious Immortal, but now, even though the monthly opportunity was canceled, it gave him hope to summon a Daluo.

"Who have I summoned?" Qin Jun couldn’t wait to ask.

At the same time, he entered the room and closed the door.

The room was spacious, with curtains covering the windows and a small partition on one side for bathing. The floor was covered with a beast fur rug. As Qin Jun approached the desk, he still didn’t receive an answer from the system.

"Fuck! Are you dead again? Just tell me who I’ve summoned!" Qin Jun cursed.

"I have summoned the Six-Eared Macaque..."

Holy shit!

Qin Jun immediately became excited. The Six-Eared Macaque was essentially another Sun Wukong. In the story of the true and false Monkey Kings, he was Sun Wukong’s equal in combat, and in mythical tales from Primordial Chaos, the Six-Eared Macaque seemed capable of eavesdropping across six realms, even having once listened in on the Dao Ancestor’s teachings.

Some even said that after the story of the true and false Monkey Kings, the Six-Eared Macaque took Sun Wukong’s place in retrieving the scriptures in "Journey to the West." At the very least, it proved that the Six-Eared Macaque could match Sun Wukong in combat!

"But because of the system’s disruption, the Six-Eared Macaque has inadvertently descended into this world. I was unable to modify its will in time to obey the host..."

The system’s reply mumbled, freezing Qin Jun’s smile instantly.

Fuck!

Could it really be played like this?

"Damn, so I might not find the Six-Eared Macaque, or might even become enemies with it?" Qin Jun cursed bluntly.

Five God and Demons have already descended into this world, confirmed to be Tathāgata, Demon King of Bull, Li, Fa Hai, and one whose whereabouts are mysterious.

Now there’s an additional Six-Eared Macaque!

Having left the original world, the Six-Eared Macaque might gain new opportunities in this world and become even stronger—none of the four great spiritual monkeys are simple creatures.

"Anything is possible."

"Possible my ass!"

Stomping his foot in anger, Qin Jun swore in his heart, "I don’t care! You must give me another summoning chance!"

"Okay."

"Ding! Starting random summoning of God and Demon..."

The system was surprisingly straightforward, initiating the summoning, which somewhat soothed Qin Jun’s rage.

But just the thought of the Six-Eared Macaque made his heart ache.

Not only because the Six-Eared Macaque’s combat power could rival Sun Wukong’s, it also had the ability to eavesdrop on the six realms.

"Ding! Congratulations, host has summoned Junior Zuanfeng; do you wish to summon again?"

Pff—

Junior Zuanfeng?

Are you freaking kidding me?

The notorious line couldn’t help but play through Qin Jun’s mind, with the king send me to patrol the mountains, I’ve patrolled the south mountain and the north mountain...

"Resummon!"

Since he still had two chances, Qin Jun certainly didn’t want to summon a minor demon just to make up the numbers.

"Ding! Starting random summoning of God and Demon..."

Don’t scare me again!

"Ding! Congratulations, host has summoned Tiger Strength Immortal; do you wish to summon again..."

Another loser...

Veins popping on his forehead, Qin Jun knew that Tiger Strength Immortal, Deer Strength Immortal, and Sheep Strength Immortal had drunk Sun Wukong and others’ urine and were easily played to death—a complete scrub.

But now he had only one resummon chance left, and if he summoned an even weaker God and Demon, he’d definitely cry.

However, the thought that Tiger Strength Immortal, even if summoned, probably wouldn’t reach the True Immortal Realm, he immediately decided, "Continue resummoning!"

"Ding! Starting random summoning of God and Demon..."

Qin Jun’s face darkened, and he cursed in his mind, "System, you owe me an existence that’s no weaker than the Six-Eared Macaque!"

Preferably Sun Wukong.

"Ding! Congratulations, host has summoned Kua Fu!"

"Do you wish to restore Kua Fu’s past life memories?"

Two consecutive system prompts rang out, causing Qin Jun to widen his eyes.

Holy shit!

Kua Fu?

Suddenly exhilarated, Qin Jun recognized that Kua Fu was one of Huaxia’s ancient mythological figures with many stories, most famously known for Kua Fu chasing the sun—definitely a mighty figure!

"Do not restore Kua Fu’s past life memories!"

Qin Jun quickly said in his mind, to prevent Kua Fu from stupidly chasing the sun again; the size of this world was beyond his imagination, and if Kua Fu were to chase again, he’d probably die of exhaustion.

According to his estimation, Kua Fu should not be inferior to Yang Jian or Nine-headed Insect.
