The Strongest Mythical Emperor

Chapter 578: Chapter 578: Long Live the Holy Emperor

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have summoned Liu Bei. Would you like to summon again?"

"No need for that big-eared thief! Summon again!"

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, you have summoned the Barefoot Immortal!"

Qin Jun breathed a sigh of relief. He finally summoned an immortal. Although Liu Bei might also be a divine version, no matter how strong, it was estimated he couldn’t surpass the Earth Immortal Realm. The Barefoot Immortal wasn’t bad, at least he was a genuine immortal.

"Bring up the Barefoot Immortal’s attribute list!" Qin Jun commanded in his mind, and as soon as the words left his lips, the attribute screen appeared before his eyes:

"Barefoot Immortal, from folklore."

"Race: God Clan!"

"Cultivation: First Level of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Red Sky Skill!"

"Divine Power: Myriad Tribulations Divine Foot!"

"Loyalty: 90 (Full Score 100)!"

Wow!

Actually having the cultivation of the first level of the Golden Immortal Realm, although still not meeting Qin Jun’s expectations, it surprised him somewhat. The mythology about the Barefoot Immortal wasn’t very comprehensive, even in Journey to the West he was a minor character, but to be called a great immortal, he must be extraordinary.

Qin Jun’s mood improved. A Golden Immortal Realm expert was a great help to the Southern Domain. Even in the Eastern Flame Domain, cultivators of the Golden Immortal Realm were rare.

He reserved the remaining two God and Demon pinnacle opportunities for Li Yuanba and the Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, saving the two random draws for better days ahead.

He found that his luck with random draws and skill inheritance was astonishingly poor, as if all his luck had been used up in the God and Demon summoning.

Indeed, the heavens won’t let a person have their way all the time!

The team continued to fly.

About two hours later, the Nine-headed Insect sensed the presence of the Southern Domain’s Heavenly World and reached out to tear a spatial rift directly, opening a crack in space-time.

Qin Jun, holding Liu Ruolai, directly entered it.

Yang Jian, Zhu Bajie, and Kua Fu followed closely behind.

The next second, they stepped into the Southern Domain’s Heavenly World.

Far away in the palace of the Holy City, Tang Sanzang suddenly opened his eyes, jumped to his feet, and swiftly flew out of the great hall because he’d sensed the presence of Qin Jun and the others.

Soon, the news of Qin Jun’s impending return spread like a whirlwind throughout the entire Holy City.

For a moment, the Holy City was abuzz with excitement.

"The Saint Emperor has returned!"

"He’s finally back, I thought something had happened to His Majesty."

"Tsk tsk, His Majesty really has the guts of a titan, daring to strike down a Star Officer during the Heavenly Convention, and now he’s still alive and well."

"Alas, the God Temple dominates all, and our Southern Domain is just one of its many domains. Can we survive this?"

"What’s there to fear! His Majesty is a monster talent that emerges only once in ten thousand years, he will certainly lead the Southern Domain to a new golden age!"

The citizens and cultivators talked among themselves. As the Heavenly Convention came to an end, details about it, as well as the existence of the God Temple, were revealed. Nowadays, the God Temple was no secret within the Great Qin Heavenly Courts, but for the mundane world, it remained an untouchable entity.

The civil and military officials of the Holy City gathered swiftly, standing on the numerous plazas in front of Saint Emperor Peak, awaiting Qin Jun’s arrival.

Daji, Zhu Yanqing, and You Fenghuang stood in front of the main hall, looking towards the sky. Behind them stood Chang’e, Wang Xue, Nine Spirits Yuan Saint, Tang Sanzang, Liu Bowen, Jiang Ziya, Li Jing, Zhong Kui, and more. At a glance, there were at least a hundred people, all high-ranking officials and important generals.

"I wonder what His Majesty looks like now," Zhu Yanqing murmured to herself.

Daji covered her mouth and chuckled lightly, "It hasn’t been that long, how could his appearance have changed?"

You Fenghuang also shook her head and smiled. As the current Empress, Daji managed the Saint Emperor Peak, while You Fenghuang participated in governance. But she understood contentment and didn’t overreach or seize too much power.

Zhu Yanqing had become the leader of the Saint Sect, and was also the youngest leader in its history; each had their own achievements.

"It is said that His Majesty has brought back another group of strong individuals this time," Liu Bowen said with a smile while stroking his beard.

As soon as these words were spoken, the faces of the generals behind him fluctuated between shades, especially those of the God and Demon beings summoned by the system. Most of them had once been the strongest under Qin Jun’s command, yet as old waves are overtaken by new ones, they didn’t even qualify to follow Qin Jun anymore.

"Is that so? Then I must spar with them properly!" Li Yuanba exclaimed, prompting Jiang Ziya to shake his head and smile, secretly thinking Li Yuanba was overestimating himself.

Tang Sanzang looked at Li Yuanba in surprise. He knew that Li Yuanba’s true form was the Giant Bird, but he was puzzled as to why the Giant Bird seemed so weak.

Soon, his gaze turned to the Nine-headed Insect. On the journey to the West, the Nine-headed Insect had made a profound impression on him, an incredibly strong figure.

Sensing Tang Sanzang’s gaze, the Nine-headed Insect nodded at him and gave a slight smile.

All Qin Jun’s subordinates, they naturally did not need to cross swords with one another. Both the Nine-headed Insect and Tang Sanzang had gentle dispositions. However, the Nine-headed Insect was fiercely protective and would even go through fire and water for those he cared about.

Just then, a series of overpowering presences suddenly emerged from up ahead, causing everyone to look intently in that direction.

They saw Qin Jun, Liu Ruolai, Yang Jian, the Nine-headed Insect, Zhu Bajie, and Kua Fu riding on clouds and flying towards them.

"My true lord!"

The Roaring Sky Dog cried out excitedly, not expecting Qin Jun to really bring Yang Jian back from another timeline.

In its heart, both Qin Jun and Yang Jian were its masters. Seeing them standing together, how could it not be thrilled?

"I have returned!"

Qin Jun laughed boisterously, his carefree laughter echoing throughout the entire Holy City, setting it abuzz.

"Long live the Saint Emperor, long live forever—"

Millions of people knelt and voiced their veneration together; their united voices were incredibly soul-stirring.

Liu Ruolai was dumbstruck by the sight, following her gaze to see that wherever it lay, people knelt before Qin Jun, each face alight with fervor.

This was a scene Liu Ruolai had never witnessed before.

Qin Jun continued to laugh heartily, the clouds swiftly passing over the rooftops towards Saint Emperor Peak.

Liu Ruolai instinctively turned back to look at Qin Jun, her eyes widening once again; she saw Qin Jun garbed in the Nine Dragon Supreme Emperor Robe, transforming in an instant from a graceful youth into a peerless Emperor Di, his entire being exuding a haughty imperial majesty that commanded the world.

"Is this the real you..."

Liu Ruolai gazed foolishly at Qin Jun, and even Yang Jian and the others felt a shock of awe. Ever since he had received the title of Emperor blessed with qi movement, Qin Jun’s imperial aura had become truly incomparable, unforgettable with just a glance.

Soon, they arrived at Saint Emperor Peak, in front of the main hall.

Hundreds of civil and military officials knelt in unison, crying out, "We welcome the return of His Majesty!"

Everyone looked excitedly at Qin Jun, with Yang Jian and the Nine-headed Insect behind him, heroic and imposing like gods, Zhu Bajie was unsightly but still drew the eye, and Kua Fu, like a giant in the background, exuded an unyielding dignity.

These individuals were unfathomably powerful!

As for Liu Ruolai, she was automatically overlooked by them.

In the present world, who didn’t know that those Qin Jun kept by his side were always the strongest among his subordinates? The strongest used to be the Nine-headed Insect, but perhaps from today onwards, there would be a changing of the guard!
