Chapter 85: Chapter 85: Breaking Through the Golden Elixir Realm

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the ninth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the first layer of the Golden Elixir Realm!"

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for breaking through to the second layer of the Golden Elixir Realm!"

"Ding! As the host has condensed the Golden Elixir, you are rewarded with one God and Demon summoning opportunity!"

Several system notification sounds rang out in quick succession, and in an instant, Qin Jun only felt an explosion within his body. Wild spiritual energy from all directions gathered towards him, whipping up a whirlwind around his body, lifting sand and stones, with an impressive momentum.

Fa Hai, Daji, and the Roaring Sky Dog, who were about to fight, all turned their heads to look, their faces showing disbelief.

Breakthrough!

And it was a direct breakthrough from the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Realm to the Golden Elixir Realm!

The Cangjun Wolf was staring, dumbfounded—was this what a Human Clan genius was like? The breakthrough was so barbaric; it disregarded all principles!

Jia Xun and the others had not reached the Golden Elixir Realm, but they could feel Qin Jun’s aura rising at a terrifying speed, and the fact that he had just slain Qin Yu made Qin Jun’s status in their hearts soar suddenly.

With Qin Yu dead, the future of the Qianyue Kingdom might fall into his hands!

Boom, boom, boom—

Just then, the sky suddenly gathered rolling thunderclouds, a sight that made Qin Jun’s heart skip with surprise.

Oh fuck!

It couldn’t be the heavenly tribulation, could it?

Qin Jun thought anxiously. The Golden Elixir Realm was a watershed for cultivators. Those who had condensed a Golden Elixir and those at the pinnacle of the Foundation Establishment Realm were not on the same level, whether in terms of the quality or quantity of spiritual energy, a disparity most cultivation methods failed to conceal.

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a lightning bolt as thick as a man’s waist came roaring down, striking Qin Jun directly, instantly shattering his clothes and causing his hair to stand on end, with no trace of the dashing young man remaining.

"It doesn’t hurt much!"

Qin Jun muttered annoyedly. Heavenly thunder had the effect of tempering a cultivator’s body, so many chose to resist it head-on, and Qin Jun had the same idea.

Moreover, he was not just entering the Golden Elixir Realm, but had directly leaped to the second layer, undergoing a qualitative transformation in his body.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

One after another, bolts of lightning continued to strike down on Qin Jun, shattering the ground beneath his feet, creating deep pits. Jia Xun and the others were witnessing someone resist the heavenly tribulation with raw resilience for the first time, and they couldn’t close their mouths in astonishment.

"Your Highness truly has a strong will," Fa Hai exclaimed with closed eyes, but he still harbored resentment over Qin Jun killing Qin Yu, and intended to demand an explanation later.

Although something in the fate seemed to have drawn him to Qin Jun, with two Demon Kings by Qin Jun’s side, if Qin Jun harbored ill intentions, then Fa Hai would have no choice but to act and subdue the demon.

He didn’t believe in heaven, only in the Buddha, and without the conviction of the Buddha, he would rather give up the chance to make a breakthrough.

"Can Young Master hold on?" Daji asked with some concern.

"Don’t worry, he may look carefree usually, but deep down he has a tenacity not suited for his age," the Roaring Sky Dog replied nonchalantly while lying on the ground.

Although he had the System of God and Demon, Qin Jun was still very self-reliant, as could be seen from his diligent spear practice.

At this moment, Qin Jun was wounded with skin torn, wincing in pain, but he felt he could hold on.

"I’m going to become a strong man!"

Qin Jun growled through clenched teeth, the surging power within him gave him an urge to howl. Through the process of crossing tribulation, spiritual energy from heaven and earth crazily surged into him, transforming his meridians, enhancing his constitution, and setting aside spiritual energy, he could feel his power had doubled.

In an instant, he suddenly found that he could perform inner sight, and a Golden Elixir had formed inside him, as big as a chicken egg, with two mysterious and obscure patterns on its surface, where all the absorbed spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into it, before being converted into overflowing spiritual energy.

Golden Elixir Realm second layer!

The first talent of Qianyue Kingdom was just at the peak of the Foundation Establishment Realm!

It was no exaggeration to say that within the Qianyue Kingdom, Qin Jun was the strongest person under fifty!

Zhuo Junjie ranked over nine hundred on the Southern Domain’s list of human talents, which showed that those ahead of him were all above the Golden Elixir Realm. Nonetheless, Qin Jun felt quite content to have closed the gap.

"Next time I see You Fenghuang, she’ll definitely be so shocked that her jaw will drop!"

Qin Jun thought to himself with a smug smile when suddenly another bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, pulling him back from his daydream in an instant.

Damn!

Is it ever going to end?

Qin Jun cursed, relieved that there were only forty-nine bolts of heavenly lightning. Once he endured them all, the rumbling thunderclouds above him dissipated.

By then, Qin Jun had fully advanced to the Golden Elixir Realm, his unconcealed aura causing the imperial guards to tremble with fear, and even Jia Xun and Qin Yun did not dare to make eye contact with him.

"Alright, bury him. I’m going to find a river to bathe in first!"

Qin Jun glanced at the corpse of Qin Yu not too far away and ordered. His body was pitch black, covered with black impurities that were sticky and extremely uncomfortable.

Having said that, he leaped into the air, and a mist-like cloud formed under his feet, swiftly carrying him towards the west.

After breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm, his spiritual power surged, enabling him to use most of the 36 Heavenly Transformations, and Riding Clouds was as easy for him as turning his hand over, though he could not maintain it for very long.

With the inheritance of the mythological system, the 36 Heavenly Transformations did not require him to spend time in contemplation; everything was already infused in his mind, and he only needed sufficient spiritual power to use them.

"Riding the clouds away!"

Jia Xun exclaimed in amazement. He had seen such a spell being cast by a powerful individual in the Imperial Dynasty before, while within the Qianyue Kingdom no one had mastered such a spell; most cultivators had to rely on magical treasures to fly.

Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog had previously seen Qin Jun use this technique, so they were not surprised. However, Fa Hai seemed a bit moved.

"The art of Riding Clouds is quite profound, and for him to have learned it at such a young age... such talent..."

Fa Hai sighed but his gaze turned unfriendly when he looked at Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog.

"As demon kings, why do you follow His Highness?" Fa Hai asked in a stern voice.

Demon kings?

Jia Xun and the others were startled, looking incredulously at Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog.

They had already been shocked enough for one day, but the realization that they were in the company of two demon kings sent shivers down their spines.

...

Meanwhile, Qin Jun dove into the river. He was confident that Daji and the Roaring Sky Dog would certainly be able to suppress Fa Hai by joining forces.

The Roaring Sky Dog, being a divine beast, how could it possibly be suppressed by Fa Hai’s golden bowl?

It was certainly no minor demon like Bai Suzhen.

As Qin Jun bathed, he asked in his mind, "I have one chance for a random lottery draw and one call of God and Demon, right?"

"Yes."

"Let’s draw the lottery first! Do it now. I hope to catch some good luck from breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm!"

"Ding! Starting the random lottery draw..."

Don’t let it be another bellyband!

And I don’t need the Roaring Sky Dog’s collar either!

Qin Jun silently prayed in his heart, thinking that girls who smile are lucky, but what about sleazy guys?

Ptui!

How could he think of himself that way!

While Qin Jun was occupied with his thoughts, the system’s notification rang out: "Congratulations to the host on winning a complete set of Purple Gold Emperor Armor, originated from the East Sea Dragon Palace in ’Journey to the West’!"
