The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 862: Xing Tian at the Pinnacle

Chapter 862: Chapter 862: Xing Tian at the Pinnacle

"Do you really want to fight to the death with me for the Holy Emperor of Qin?"

Zun Rudao asked in anger, his eyes bloodshot with hatred so intense it nearly solidified, yet Black Butterfly Fairy remained unmoved.

The iron whip cracked through the air again, and Zun Rudao dared not to meet it head-on, hastily dodging.

"Either die or hand over the control of the God Temple to me!"

Black Butterfly Fairy’s voice was ice cold. Before, Qin Jun wasn’t strong enough, so she wanted the God Temple to be a shield for him. Now that Qin Jun had become the sixth hegemon, the God Temple could no longer protect him; it would be better to become a force for Qin Jun.

She felt a slight apology towards Zun Rudao, but when it came to the interests of Qin Jun, that apology was insignificant.

Shouxin was willing to search for over two thousand years for Qin Jun, forming an obsession.

And she had searched for Qin Jun for 130,000 years; this obsession had turned into conviction. How could Zun Rudao understand?

Zun Rudao was so furious that he almost spat blood, to just let him hand over the position of temple master without a fight, wouldn’t that be a great loss of face?

Thinking this, Zun Rudao stimulated his magic power and charged at Black Butterfly Fairy once more.

He was, after all, a genius that was rare to come by in ten thousand years, proud and haughty, how could he willingly admit defeat?

...

As dusk approached, Qin Jun, Supreme Old Master, Patriarch Bodhi, and Sun Wukong walked out of the Three-star Cave.

Qin Jun wore a smiling expression, for Patriarch Bodhi had finally been persuaded by Supreme Old Master, was willing to come out of seclusion, and his loyalty had risen to ten points, although all his attributes were still unknown.

If he could see the attribute list for Supreme Old Master who was at the late stage of the Luoshi Immortal Realm, but Patriarch Bodhi’s attributes were unknown,

What did this mean?

Patriarch Bodhi was far stronger than the late stage of the Luoshi Immortal Realm!

Taking such a powerful being to the Juetian Plain, who the hell wouldn’t submit? They would fight until they did!

"The old daoist has matters to attend to and must leave. I hope everyone can help take care of the Three-star Cave."

The voice of Patriarch Bodhi echoed throughout Three-star Island, provoking excitement among the entire island. Having said that, the group of four soared into the sky and streaked towards the horizon.

This scene was witnessed by most of the beings on the island, instantly causing an uproar.

"The daoist master has actually left the island!"

"Look closely, in front of the daoist master there is a young man!"

"Wait... I think I may have guessed something... impossible..."

"Hiss... A young man, a monkey demon, along with the daoist master—could they be the Emperor of Sanctity, Sun Wukong, and Patriarch Bodhi?"

"Now that you mention it, it makes sense. Patriarch Bodhi is Supreme Heaven Great Sage’s master after all!"

The Three-star Cave erupted into chaos. No one had expected the Daoist who had achieved the Dao on the island to actually be Patriarch Bodhi, a powerhouse at the very pinnacle of heaven and earth!

The news spread swiftly, and the beings on the island were even more exhilarated, swearing to protect Three-star Island, awaiting the return of Patriarch Bodhi.

Approximately two hours had passed.

Qin Jun and his companions returned to the heavenly world of the Southern Domain. He asked Sun Wukong to take Patriarch Bodhi to look for a residence to stay temporarily, and then he sent Supreme Old Master back to King Yan City.

"Your Majesty, Patriarch Bodhi indeed has profound cultivation. After the Nine Emperors, you should allow him to discuss the Dao with this old daoist," Supreme Old Master said with a smile while stroking his beard, expressing his interest in Patriarch Bodhi. The friendship of gentlemen is like water, and a confidant is hard to find.

His temperament was very similar to that of Patriarch Bodhi, which made them take to each other at first meeting.

Qin Jun spread his hands and laughed, "Don’t worry, Old Master, all this is a trivial matter. I hope you will continue to look after King Yan Palace for me."

Grinning, Taishang Laojun nodded; now, he became even more interested in Qin Jun, curious about how far Qin Jun might go in the future.

Then Qin Jun stepped into the teleportation formation again, returning to the Saint Emperor Peak of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

"Among the nine emperors under heaven, it seems that the heavens are about to be broken," Taishang Laojun murmured to himself, reminiscing about the last time he battled the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny, who had extended him an invitation, hoping Taishang Laojun would contribute his strength when the time to break the heavens arrived.

The Xuandang Great World had been sealed off for a hundred thousand years, isolated from beyond the heavens; the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny had always harbored the ambition to break through the heavens.

Taishang Laojun looked up into the Cangqiong sky and whispered, "What wonders lie beyond the heavens?"

...

Back in the imperial garden, Qin Jun immediately ordered the imperial guard soldiers to summon Xing Tian.

Having three God and Demon peak opportunities at hand, he intended to let Xing Tian use one. The remaining two would be reserved for Tathāgata and Taishang Laojun. Among the other gods and demons, Luo Shixin, the progenitor of the Qilins, showed the greatest potential, but being too ancient, Qin Jun did not dare to interfere with him for the time being.

Xiang Yu, the reincarnation of Emperor Shun, didn’t need a God and Demon peak opportunity to steadily recover his strength, as virtue clung to him.

While waiting, Qin Jun couldn’t help asking inwardly, "System, I’ve accumulated five opportunities for skill inheritance; can I choose not to have them forcibly infused into my memory during extraction?"

He already possessed an abundance of Divine Powers, and he found it highly unpleasant to have each skill inheritance forcibly crammed into his mind.

Although it is said that one can never have too many skills, learning something useless is even worse than not learning it at all.

It would be quite favorable if he could pass it on to someone else.

"That will be possible only after the next system upgrade," the system responded.

Upon hearing this, Qin Jun’s eyes lit up as he asked, "When is the next upgrade?"

"When the host breaks through to the Taiyi Realm, some features that are beneficial to the host will be unlocked. Prior to the Taiyi Realm is the foundation stage of cultivation, which requires a solid and steady approach. After entering the Taiyi Realm, comprehension becomes more significant," the system replied.

"Ding! Main quest triggered — Breaking Through the Taiyi Realm! Quest details: After the host breaks through to the Taiyi Realm, the system will upgrade and reward the host with a specific God and Demon summoning opportunity!"

Tsk tsk, triggering a main quest as well.

Qin Jun’s anticipation for breaking through to the Taiyi Realm grew. With Liu Ruolai becoming the Son of Destiny, he had to find a way to strengthen himself, not just his political power, but also his personal strength.

Reaching the third layer of the Golden Immortal Realm before turning twenty years old, he was unrivaled in the entirety of the Xuandang Great World.

Liu Ruolai was different, having awakened the memories of dozens of reincarnations, as if he had lived for ten thousand years. In terms of talent, Qin Jun temporarily could not match him.

Even without relying on the system, Qin Jun’s cultivation progressed rapidly. His Extremely Flaming Devil God bloodline was incredibly strong, and he had a faint sense of progressing to the fourth layer of the Golden Immortal Realm.

About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense had passed, and led by the imperial guard soldiers, Xing Tian entered the courtyard of the imperial garden.

"Your Majesty, for what matter have you summoned me?" Xing Tian asked as he knelt down. Now that the Great Qin Heavenly Court had produced a Daluo beginner Immortal, Xing Tian no longer harbored any disloyalty and was wholeheartedly devoted to Qin Jun.

He secretly anticipated, could it be that Qin Jun was taking him to the Juetian Plain?

In this world, what a man strives for is none other than fame!

The affair of the nine emperors under heaven was the most eye-catching event at present. All the warriors of the Great Qin Heavenly Court wanted to go, but they understood that Qin Jun would surely take only the strongest among them.

Apart from Bai Ze and Patriarch Bodhi, Xing Tian was undoubtedly the strongest.

"In another day, I’ll be heading to the Juetian Plain; I want you to become stronger, are you willing?" Qin Jun asked with fiery eyes.

Xing Tian was one of the strongest Great Witches, on par with the Great Witch Chi You, who bore the title of Master of Soldiers.

The peak of Xing Tian’s strength remained unknown.

"Of course, I’m willing!" Xing Tian immediately became excited; he had long heard that His Majesty had a special Divine Power that could restore someone to the peak level of cultivation from their past reincarnations, and he had not expected that today it would be his turn.
