Chapter 581: Chapter 581: Prove the Way with Strength

"Oh? What’s the matter?" Qin Jun glanced at him and asked.

After learning about the strength of the God Temple, he couldn’t help but sympathize with Old Man Yi. Although Old Man Yi was a transcendent existence at the later stage of the Scattered Immortal Realm, compared to the God Temple, it was undoubtedly like an egg striking a stone.

If it weren’t for the arrival of Qin Jun, Old Man Yi would have been imprisoned in the valley for his entire life. Even if he were rescued, his fiery temper would lead him straight back to the God Temple, only to find a dead end.

"Are you going to wage war against the God Temple in the future?" Old Man Yi asked, rubbing his hands together.

Qin Jun’s return had directly knocked him off his position as the number one expert.

Yang Jian, Nine-headed Insect, and Tang Sanzang were all stronger than him, which left him feeling somewhat depressed. Where on earth did Qin Jun find such powerful individuals?

At this rate, he would also be left far behind by Qin Jun’s subordinates.

"Of course, do you want to join in?" Qin Jun asked with a smile. The war with the God Temple was inevitable; it was just a matter of timing.

He definitely wouldn’t initiate it immediately in the near future, but the God Temple’s actions were unpredictable.

By sending someone who even the Black Butterfly Fairy found troublesome, it was clear that they intended to wipe out Qin Jun completely.

"Heh heh, if I don’t seek revenge personally, I won’t rest in peace," Old Man Yi laughed. The God Temple had destroyed everything he had, how could he just let it go?

Qin Jun nodded and said, "Don’t worry, there will definitely be a use for you when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, Old Man Yi chuckled again and then sat at the stone table, starting to shoot the breeze with Qin Jun.

The two of them talked about this and that, and Old Man Yi began to recount his impressive deeds from ten thousand years ago.

"In those days, I roamed the Southern Domain and was truly invincible. The Western Domain was beneath my feet, and even the Demon Clan from the Southernmost Sea was no match for me. It seems that back then, there was a youngster from the Demon Clan called the Green Fox King who wanted to come to the Southern Domain but was frightened away by me," Old Man Yi bragged. His message was clear: the prosperity of the Southern Domain for ten thousand years was all thanks to his might back in the day.

Qin Jun arched an eyebrow and asked, "Have you ever heard of Bianhai from the Eastern Flame Domain? He is the hero of the Eastern Flame Domain and has also defeated the Green Fox King."

"Bianhai?" Old Man Yi stroked his chin, searching his memory carefully. Having been imprisoned for ten thousand years, his memory was a bit fuzzy.

"Oh! I seem to have heard about him. The Green Fox King mentioned that this man possesses extensive Divine Powers and is able to sweep the peak of the True Immortal Realm while only in the Earth Immortal Realm, like an unparalleled genius of a bygone era," Old Man Yi suddenly clapped his hands and exclaimed in amazement, "If this person is still alive, he’s probably already a hero of heaven and earth, a transcendent being that connects the heavens and the earth."

Qin Jun laughed mischievously upon being praised so highly, preferring to keep his achievements secret.

"What are you laughing at?"

"’One cannot see the true face of Mount Lu because one is in the mountain itself.’

"What do you mean?"

Old Man Yi was even more confused by him, but Qin Jun just shook his head with a smile and did not explain further.

Some things lose their charm when explained.

The two continued to chat until evening before departing.

That night, Qin Jun returned to the Saint Emperor Palace and summoned the Mythical Marketplace.

He was ready to select a cultivation method for himself and took out ten billion fame points, enough to buy many things.

"The Five-Colored Divine Light is only ten billion fame points, should I exchange for it..." Qin Jun thought to himself.

Items valued above ten billion fame points weren’t many. The most outrageous was Creation from Chaos, valued at one trillion fame points, reigning supreme in the Mythical Marketplace.

Qin Jun directly opened the list of cultivation methods:

"One Qi Transforms into Three Pure Ones: Originating from the initial essence of the Three Pure Ones, valued at five hundred billion fame points!"

"Immortal Saint Body: A grand cultivation method that proves the way through strength, once practiced by the demons of the Primordial Chaos, valued at one trillion fame points!"

"Golden Elixir Great Way: The supreme cultivation method of Taoism, the most pure method for proving the way, valued at one hundred billion fame points!"

"Three Flowers Gather at the Top: Created by the teacher of saints, filled with boundless positive energy, continuous without end, valued at one hundred and fifty billion fame points!"

Scanning through the list, there were over twenty cultivation methods worth more than ten billion fame points, some of which even came from cultivation civilizations Qin Jun had never heard of.

Quickly his attention turned to the so-called Immortal Saint Body, which bore a name very similar to his Immortal Saint Physique. He clicked on the details, and to his surprise, found out more.

The first layer is impervious to all poisons!

The second layer has iron bones and steel muscles!

The third layer has an indestructible golden body!

The fourth layer has the strength to uproot mountains!

The fifth layer manifests laws comparable to heaven and earth!

The sixth layer proves the way through strength!

The seventh layer embodies Chaos and other gods and demons!

The eighth layer is the body of the Great Way!

The ninth layer is the Primordial Gold Body!

Qin Jun’s eyes widened; the first five levels were exactly the same as the Immortal Saint Physique. Legend had it that the Immortal Saint Physique was missing three levels, totaling only eight levels, but the Immortal Saint Body actually went up to nine levels.

Holy shit!

So the original name of the Immortal Saint Physique was the Immortal Saint Body!

"System, you said you didn’t know!" Qin Jun internally complained.

"I honestly didn’t know about the Immortal Saint Physique. A single word can make a world of difference. Moreover, with so many items in the Mythical Marketplace, it’s impossible for me to know everything. I’m only an executor of the system, not the controller of the system," the system’s voice replied, its tone full of helplessness.

The system voice that usually communicated with Qin Jun sounded like that of a spirit; since the system still required upgrades, it also didn’t fully understand the system itself.

Qin Jun pouted, dismissing these as excuses.

"Can I exchange for the levels one by one?" Qin Jun asked out of curiosity, noticing that the Immortal Saint Body was one of the most valuable cultivation methods available.

If he were to exchange for a method, it might as well be the most formidable one!

Moreover, it was the very method he himself was practicing.

Practiced by demons of the Primordial Chaos era and also a Great Way cultivation method, it sounded incredibly powerful.

Qin Jun had also read many novels about the era of chaos before Primordial Chaos, where from the Chaos came three thousand chaos demons, and from amongst them Pangu emerged, who opened up heaven and earth and created everything.

Of course, as to the authenticity of those stories, he had no idea.

"To exchange for the sixth layer requires ten billion fame points," the system answered, almost making Qin Jun spit blood.

One level of a cultivation method costs ten billion fame points, wouldn’t the last three levels be even more expensive?

"Does the sixth layer, Proving the Way through Strength, lead to becoming a saint?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

The most powerful beings in mythology seemed to be saints.

"Possibly," the system’s reply almost caused Qin Jun to bleed internally.

Totally unreliable.

In the end, Qin Jun chose not to buy it for now. It wouldn’t be too late to purchase it after he broke through the fifth level.

Just then, Qin Jun suddenly felt a terrifying presence from outside the palace, causing his heart to leap in alarm. He quickly got up and flew out of the Saint Emperor Palace.

It wasn’t just him—all of Saint Emperor Peak as well as the Holy City could feel that terrifying presence, shaking their souls.

"Your Majesty, an enemy approaches!"

Tang Sanzang quickly appeared by Qin Jun’s side and spoke
