Chapter 741: Chapter 741: Focus on the Southern Domain

Dusk descended.

In the imperial garden, Qin Jun and Daji, along with her five ladies, sat in a stone pavilion admiring the moon.

"Your Majesty, can Hou Yi and Xiang Yu really succeed in rescuing Sun Wukong?" Liu Ruolai asked curiously. She seemed to no longer suffer from the rapid draining of vitality, showing no signs of aging.

Qin Jun shook his head, "I also do not know."

He began to ponder in his heart whether he should use the opportunity of the God and Demon’s peak again.

Now under his command, there were two Daluo-level immortals, among which Hou Yi was a complete Daluo-level existence. Even if the loyalties of the God and Demon declined after their restoration to their peaks, he could still suppress them.

The first he could restore to their peak was Kua Fu. After all, he had the closest relationship with Hou Yi, and most of the Witch Clan harbored no second thoughts and were relatively simple-minded.

Next were Bai Ze and Luo Shixin. One was a demon sage, the other the ancestor of Qilin. No matter who was restored to their peak, they could surpass Hou Yi, which would not be easy to suppress.

The potential of the other Gods and Demons was relatively lower. The Zhenwu Emperor might break through to the Daluo realm, or even stronger, but Qin Jun was uncertain, as he knew too little about the Zhenwu Emperor.

He now had four opportunities to restore Gods and Demons to their peak, which should be more than enough.

Let’s wait for Xiang Yu and Hou Yi to return first!

In any case, an all-out war on the Western Domain is inevitable in the near future.

If two Daluo-level immortals can’t defeat Tathāgata, then three will!

If three aren’t enough, then four!

If four can’t do it, then five!

Qin Jun could not believe that Tathāgata was truly invincible in the world. If pushed to the edge, he would just ask Donghuang Taiyi to take action. After all, King Yan Palace had already formed an alliance with Donghuang Taiyi, and they should offer help in the first instance of trouble!

"Your Majesty, what are you thinking about?" Daji asked with a smile while peeling fruit for Qin Jun.

Seeing Qin Jun return safely again had already made her very happy. She did not want to inquire about state affairs, to avoid adding pressure on Qin Jun.

"Nothing much, just thinking that it’s really time to make a move on the Western Domain, whether Tathāgata kidnapped Wukong or not," Qin Jun said with a shrug and a smile.

He had too many grievances with the Western Domain. Even putting this matter aside, it had to be resolved.

Initially, Sang Liang from the Buddhism of the Western Domain saw that Qin Jun had obtained the bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God. Mistaking him for being possessed by a Demon, he insisted on eliminating him.

"The development of the Western Domain is indeed very fast. If it continues like this, it will threaten the growth of the Great Qin Heavenly Court," You Fenghuang chimed in with a nod. As the liaison between the Great Qin Heavenly Court and the Fate Pavilion, akin to an intelligence gatherer, she was most informed about the dynamics of the Western Domain.

Zhu Yanqing, focused on her cultivation, did not understand these matters and therefore did not interject.

Wang Xue, following the will of the Cat People Clan and as their Junior Clan Chief, would eventually bear the responsibility of the Cat People Clan. Her current main task was to inherit the mantle of her cat people ancestors. As for these political and military issues, she had not yet involved herself, so she kept listening and learning.

"Let’s make a decision after Hou Yi and Xiang Yu return," said Qin Jun with a smile. He paused, then asked with a mischievous grin, "Tonight, who will accompany me?"

Daji and You Fenghuang stared at him with eager eyes, while Wang Xue and Zhu Yanqing let out light snorts of contempt. Liu Ruolai blushed, silently cursing the scoundrel.

Even the bright moon in the night sky hid behind the clouds, as if bashful.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Jun left Daji’s palace and went to the imperial garden. He then took out an alchemy cauldron and medicinal ingredients, preparing to continue with his body refining.

He had taken quite a number of treasures from inside King Yan City.

Just as he was about to start his cultivation, a black hole appeared in the air beside him, and out walked the Black Butterfly Fairy.

A twitch appeared at the corner of Qin Jun’s mouth. He had only returned for one night, and this old sorceress had already come upon hearing the news. It seemed there were definitely spies from the God Temple within the Great Qin Heavenly Court!

"You’re really fast!" Qin Jun said, not hiding his annoyance.

This time, the Black Butterfly Fairy was not wearing a mask. Her breathtakingly beautiful face was revealed, and her purple-black robe with an attached hood concealed her long hair, adding to her allure.

"Do you have a connection with King Yan Palace?" the Black Butterfly Fairy asked bluntly.

"Could I be connected to King Yan Palace? You flatter me too much," Qin Jun rolled his eyes and continued to place the medicinal herbs into the alchemy cauldron on his own.

The Black Butterfly Fairy stepped closer, her eyes fixed intently on Qin Jun. Hesitantly, she asked, "Are you really telling me it has nothing to do with you?"

Truth be told, she did not believe Qin Jun could pull off such a significant feat, but she still couldn’t help feeling a bit hopeful.

"It’s not!" Qin Jun shrugged, his face thick enough to show no trace of shame.

"Alright then."

No longer dwelling on the issue, the Black Butterfly Fairy said with gravity, "The Dragon and Phoenix Convention at Tianxuan Mansion is less than a year away. Don’t cause any more trouble. The Great Qin Heavenly Court might be strong, but your personal cultivation is too weak."

As she spoke, she suddenly noticed that Qin Jun had already broken through to the ninth level of the True Immortal Realm, and her mouth twitched in response.

This little monster...

She had assumed Qin Jun, being constantly on the move, would neglect his cultivation, but unexpectedly, the young man was advancing even faster, defying all conventional expectations.

A typical body-refining cultivation method could not absorb medicinal materials for long periods without causing harm to the body, but the Indestructible Holy Body was different. It was the highest level of body-refining techniques, able to maximize the absorption of medicinal materials while ensuring no damage to the body. Coupled with Qin Jun’s access to King Yan City, which contained countless ancient medicinal herbs and pills, the depth and quality of its resources were not even rivaled by the God Temple.

"Just the Dragon and Phoenix Convention," said Qin Jun, with a nonchalant reply.

He had participated in many such competitions and didn’t consider this one a concern. He was destined to break through this realm, step on Tianxuan Mansion, and ascend.

As a sovereign, preparing for a talent convention like the Dragon and Phoenix Convention seemed beneath him.

"The Dragon and Phoenix Convention is different. It’s not like the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition or the Heavenly Convention you’ve attended before," the Black Butterfly Fairy said irritably.

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, surprised that this woman had investigated his past affairs.

"Perhaps," Qin Jun remained indifferent.

Right now, all he could think about was breaking through to the Golden Immortal Realm quickly, then summon a God and Demon to beat Tathāgata in the Western Domain.

"Additionally, I have to tell you that the affair of the Central Wilderness God Tomb has alarmed the world. The Nether Lord has emerged and even escaped from the hands of the Demon Emperor, causing various forces to become restless. Since the Southern Domain was the central realm of the ancient celestial court and is the most prosperous region, it’s likely that before long all forces will turn their eyes toward the Southern Domain," the Black Butterfly Fairy commented with a snort.

Seeing Qin Jun’s disinterest in engaging with her, she felt somewhat irritated.

At this, Qin Jun immediately furrowed his brows and turned to ask, "Why would they target the Southern Domain? Are there many God tombs there?"

He inwardly cursed, wondering if he would soon have to fight the whole world alone.

"Possibly, because the last battle of the immortals and gods was with the celestial court. After that, the immortals and gods departed to distant realms, leaving only Tianxuan Mansion behind," the Black Butterfly Fairy said meaningfully.

Qin Jun was rendered speechless, wondering if the system had sent him to the Southern Domain for this very reason?

The system did not answer him, and Qin Jun felt a rising tension.

If a multitude of significant powers started converging on the Southern Domain, what would become of it?

"What’s there to fear? The celestial court once united the entire world," Ji Yongsheng snorted coldly in Qin Jun’s mind.
