Chapter 641: The Nine Domains Wish to Come

Chapter 641: Chapter 641: The Nine Domains Wish to Come

In broad daylight, Qin Jun consolidated his cultivation and, as dusk neared, he celebrated with all the beings on the island with songs and wine to honor his breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm.

He did not sleep all night.

The next morning, Qin Jun was awakened by the noisy disturbance outside the hall. He rubbed his eyes and cursed, "Who the hell is making such a racket so early in the..."

"Who are you! How dare you trespass on Fox King Island!"

"Hmph! I am Hou Yi! I have come to pay my respects to His Majesty, the Saint Emperor!"

Hou Yi!

Qin Jun’s sleepiness vanished in an instant, and he rushed out of the Saint Emperor Palace.

That someone would dare to stop Hou Yi was unbelievable; in this place, Hou Yi, who was at the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, was an invincible force. Even Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong together could barely restrain him.

At the same time, Yuan Hong, Sun Wukong, Chang’e, Evening Star, Liu Bowen, and over a thousand soldiers were standing at the edge of Fox King Island, their expressions grave as if facing a formidable enemy. Even Sun Wukong couldn’t help but squint his eyes.

In front of them stood a towering man clad in animal-skin clothing. His muscles bulged, taut and visually striking, as his dry grass-like brown hair cascaded down in coils. He was slightly bowing his head, making only his nose bridge and the rebellious curve of his lips visible.

He carried a huge bow on his back, pitch-black and one zhang long, taller than himself.

The newcomer was none other than Hou Yi, wielding the Shooting Sun God Bow.

"You say you’re Hou Yi, and we should just believe you?" Sun Wukong said with a sneer. In his past life, he had also heard the legends of Hou Yi shooting the suns and he certainly didn’t believe that Hou Yi would come back to life, let alone to pledge allegiance to Qin Jun.

Isn’t that nonsense?

Liu Bowen also wore an expression of disbelief, while Chang’e remained calm, seemingly unfamiliar with the name of Hou Yi.

Yuan Hong had already taken out his Fine Iron Rod, ready to fight at any moment.

But shock was written all over Evening Star’s eyes. She possessed memories from a previous life. She had seen the figure of Hou Yi during the great war between Witches and Demons.

"How is this possible..." Evening Star muttered to herself. She had recently visited the Great Qin Heavenly Court, where the sight of Kua Fu had already shocked her, and now, another legendary figure, Hou Yi, had appeared.

With two legendary Great Witches pledging allegiance one after another, could it be that the Witch Clan, obliterated in the mists of ancient Primordial Chaos, was about to re-emerge under Qin Jun’s command?

The thought alone turned Evening Star’s stunning face pale. Only she, who lived through the era of ancient Primordial Chaos, knew the terror of the Witch Clan. The likes of Sun Wukong and other descendants had no clue, yet they showed a desire to fight.

"What if you don’t believe? Do you think you can stop me?"

Hou Yi tilted his head to look at Sun Wukong, his gaze icy. The Shooting Sun God Bow on his back began to vibrate with a hum, and a sky-piercing aura burst forth from Hou Yi, as if he could shatter the heavens.

Sun Wukong’s heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously reached for his golden cudgel.

After all, he was someone who had fought against Tathāgata; naturally, he would not be intimidated by Hou Yi.

Even if Hou Yi was a predecessor, an ancient Great Witch who had once roamed the world, Sun Wukong was also the Supreme Heaven Great Sage, fearless under heaven and earth!

"Stop!"

Qin Jun’s voice came through, and then he appeared before Hou Yi. He completely ignored Sun Wukong and the others, smiling at Hou Yi, "Yesterday, I celebrated my breakthrough and woke up late today, making you wait. For the rudeness of my subordinates, I offer my apologies on their behalf."

Apologizing to Hou Yi, who was at the late stage of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, did not cost Qin Jun any dignity, because in any world, might makes right.

Hou Yi waved his hand and said with a smile, "There’s no reason for a king to apologize. They didn’t recognize me; it was only right for them to act that way. These youngsters are quite powerful."

The "little fellows" he was referring to were naturally Yuan Hong and Sun Wukong.

Qin Jun burst into laughter, beckoning to Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong with a smile, "Aren’t you two coming over here? This is the real Hou Yi, late phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!"

Late phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm!

The pupils of Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong shrank at the same time. Despite both being in the early phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm, the two realms apart were like a vast gulf. Sun Wukong had once fought against Divine Wuji, who had reached the combat strength of the late phase of the Daluo Golden Immortal Realm through the God Summoning Technique, but that was just him reaching it, far different from a genuine late phase Daluo Golden Immortal.

Moreover, Hou Yi himself was a combat genius who could also fight above his level, so Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong knew at first glance they couldn’t contend against him.

Now, hearing Qin Jun’s words, their hearts were even more fired up, especially Sun Wukong, whose love for battle was stronger than Yuan Hong’s, always rising to a challenge.

The two monkeys approached behind Qin Jun and bowed to Hou Yi, with Sun Wukong chuckling, "So you’re really Hou Yi! The legend of you shooting down the nine suns has been admired for generations! When can we have a spar?"

Shooting down the nine suns?

Hou Yi’s eyes were full of confusion; he could not remember his past life.

"Haha, let’s go, let’s go, with Hou Yi’s help, we shall celebrate again today!" Qin Jun quickly laughed it off, pulling Hou Yi along towards the inside of the island.

In the presence of Hou Yi, he seemed like a young man, the difference in their statures too apparent.

Hou Yi had arrived, now they were just waiting for Her Highness Shiji.

However, with Hou Yi there, Her Highness Shiji’s arrival would inevitably create less of a stir, perhaps not even a ripple.

But that’s fate!

...

Time skipped ahead, and in a blink, half a month had passed.

Qin Jun had gained another chance at the God and Demon instance, accumulating four opportunities to the God and Demon instance that he had yet to use. He planned to give them out as rewards. After pacifying the Southernmost Sea, he would then bestow them.

Half a month later, the conquest of the Southernmost Sea was winding down. Under Tian Ling’s manipulation, the heavenly world of the Southern Domain could actually move, relocating to the sky above where the Southernmost Sea met the Southern Domain. Qin Jun also returned to the Great Qin Heavenly Court, overseeing both the Southernmost Sea and the Southern Domain.

It’s worth mentioning that after Kua Fu and Hou Yi met, they were like firewood to flame, inseparable all day. Yuan Hong and Li Yuanba would occasionally challenge them, with the outcome always being a loss, though Hou Yi won with increasing difficulty.

One day, Yang Jian and Evening Star finally returned, and both civil and military officials convened in the Junzheng Hall for a discussion.

"Greetings to Your Majesty. True Lord and I have traveled through twelve domains, and nine domains have agreed to attend a feast at the Great Qin Heavenly Court in ten days, including the Eastern Flame Domain," Evening Star said with a smile, bowing, while Yang Jian stood proudly beside him, enjoying the admiring gazes of the thousand officers.

The Eastern Flame Domain was recognized as a powerful domain. During the Heavenly Convention, they had witnessed the dominance of the Eastern Flame Domain. If not for the death of Dongfang Ji at the hands of Qin Jun, the Eastern Flame Domain would have nearly swept through the Heavenly Convention.

The military generals like Li Yuanba, Kua Fu, Hou Yi, Nine-headed Insect, Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng, Sixth Golden Crow, Yuan Hong, and others all smiled as they looked towards Yang Jian. The war in the Southernmost Sea no longer required top warriors to lead the armies.

Bai Ze, Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, and Liu Bowen stood in front of the civil officers, while Shen Gongbao was still leading troops to take over the territories of the Southern Demon Clan. The Southern Domain was vast, especially the deep mountains and dangerous places, unlike the Southernmost Sea, which only required defending the islands.

"Very good! Worthy of Evening Star and True Lord Erlang, this is a great achievement, and must be rewarded!"

Qin Jun slapped his knee with laughter, while Yuan Hong’s eyes flashed brightly with fervor.

The feast was in ten days.

Which meant the battle between him and Sun Wukong was only ten days away!

During this time, he and Sun Wukong seldom met; the fire in the hearts of the two monkeys was like a blaze about to consume them.
