The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 863: Set Off

Chapter 863: Chapter 863: Set Off

"System, restore Xing Tian to the peak of God and Demon!"

Qin Jun commanded in his heart, he had high regard for Xing Tian, who was a war god in Huaxia mythology.

"Xing Tian, when you return tomorrow, I will set out for Juetian Plain!" Qin Jun said with a smile, making Xing Tian unable to contain his excitement. He had already reached the pinnacle of the Daluo Immortal Realm, but breaking through to the Luoshi Immortal Realm was still too difficult, at least without one hundred and eighty years, it was impossible.

Soon, a black hole suddenly appeared above Qin Jun’s head, sucking Xing Tian into it, the process too quick for Xing Tian to react.

Qin Jun began to anticipate just how strong Xing Tian would become.

He was to set out on the morrow, and Qin Jun still had to make arrangements. The Celestial Court of Great Qin had already been dispatching troops, waging wars on surrounding domains.

Three domains had already surrendered directly, but someone still needed to be sent to take over. Everything was on track, and even with Qin Jun’s departure, with Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Evening Star, Jiang Ziya, Shen Gongbao, and Bai Ze present, there would be no chaos.

The forces that could threaten the Celestial Court of Great Qin were all keeping an eye on the Nine Emperors; those who were not part of the Nine Emperors did not have the strength to endanger the Celestial Court of Great Qin.

The news that the Holy Emperor of Qin was about to travel to the Juetian Plain had also spread within the Celestial Court of Great Qin. The creatures of the Western Domain, Southern Domain, and Southernmost Sea were all curious whether the Holy Emperor of Qin could become one of the Nine Emperors and what kind of performance he would have at the Hundred Heroes Conference.

This was a gambit concerning the future pattern of the world for tens of thousands of years.

"What do you think, which of the Nine Emperors will His Majesty the Holy Emperor become?"

"Definitely the Second Emperor!"

"Both the Yan Emperor and the Nether Emperor have the strength to compete for the position of the Second Emperor!"

"His Majesty might even become the First Emperor, he has created miracles again and again!"

"The First Emperor? Impossible, don’t think too much, the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny is too powerful!"

The Western Domain, Southern Domain, and the Southernmost Sea all had such discussions. They had no doubt that Qin Jun could become one of the Nine Emperors; they were only guessing which position he might achieve.

At the same time, the war generals within the Holy City were also praying that they would be taken by Qin Jun, even just to be spectators!

The moon set and the sun rose.

Early the next morning, Qin Jun slowly rose from Daji’s bed, and Daji opened her beautiful eyes, sleepily murmuring, "Your Majesty, are you setting out now?"

As Qin Jun was getting dressed, he turned to smile back, "You sleep a little longer, I still have to make some arrangements, I won’t leave until noon."

Daji nodded, and Qin Jun left the bedroom.

Half an hour later, in the Junzheng Hall, all the civil and military officials of the fifth rank and above who were still in the Holy City had arrived.

Hou Yi, Kua Fu, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, Jiu Ling Yuan Sheng, Lady of the Golden Light, Yuan Hong, Li Yuanba, Luo Shixin, and others eagerly awaited Qin Jun’s words.

Although the Celestial Court of Great Qin had grown powerful, the high-end combat power was still dominated by the gods and demons.

Patriarch Bodhi stood next to Bai Ze, his face calm, in stark contrast to the excited war generals behind him.

Qin Jun sat on the dragon throne and swept his gaze around the hall with a smile, "This time, I plan to take with me to Juetian Plain..."

At these words, the breathing of the war generals quickened.

Even just to carry Qin Jun’s palanquin would be good, at least they could broaden their horizons!

"Patriarch Bodhi!"

Qin Jun announced the first name, causing all the civil and military officials to turn their heads towards Patriarch Bodhi.

Patriarch Bodhi remained undisturbed, clasping his hands in a salute.

As the strongest in the Celestial Court of Great Qin, he was entitled not to kneel.

"Xing Tian!"

Xing Tian was absent, causing the civil and military officials in the great hall to whisper among themselves, all curious why Xing Tian did not attend court and if he was not afraid of angering His Majesty.

"Sun Wukong!"

"Yang Jian!"

"Lady of the Golden Light!"

Qin Jun spoke no further, for Sun Wukong and Yang Jian had great potential, and coupled with the opportunities they had previously seized, they needed battle to fully unleash their latent powers.

The golden light array of the Golden Light Holy Mother was extremely deadly, and might be of use at the Hundred Heroes Conference.

"Your Majesty, why won’t you take me with you?" Li Yuanba complained loudly.

Qin Jun shook his head with a smile and said, "There will be plenty of chances in the future, and after the Nine Emperors, the Great Tribulation will arrive. Are you afraid you won’t have battles to fight?"

Heading to the Hundred Heroes Conference, it wasn’t possible to take too many people; taking five was already enough.

The other warriors, although reluctant, dared not say more. After all, the Hundred Heroes Conference was a grand event that was rare to encounter in tens of thousands of years, and attending uninvited without reaching the level of a Daluo immortal could likely hold Qin Jun back.

"Your Majesty, shall we take the soldiers of the Emperor’s Guard?" Liu Bowen asked, bowing his hands.

This trip was estimated to take several months, and the soldiers of the Emperor’s Guard could handle some trivial matters.

"No need!" Qin Jun directly rejected the idea. On the journey, he needed to diligently pursue his cultivation, and bringing the Emperor’s Guard would completely slow down their travel speed.

Having said this, Qin Jun stood up, descended from the Dragon Platform and walked outside the great hall, with civil and military officials kneeling in succession as he walked past—a spectacular scene indeed.

Patriarch Bodhi, Sun Wukong, Yang Jian, and the Golden Light Holy Mother followed closely behind. Except for Patriarch Bodhi, all three were somewhat excited.

Qin Jun sauntered to the entrance of the great hall, from where he could overlook the entire Holy City and the numerous flying islands around it, resembling the Immortal Realm and majestically picturesque.

"Ding! Xing Tian has recovered to the pinnacle of God and Demon!"

The system prompt suddenly rang out, and a smile crossed Qin Jun’s lips as he instructed the system to bring up Xing Tian’s attribute list in his mind.

A semi-transparent screen appeared before him, broadening his smile.

"Xing Tian, from mythology!"

"Identity: War God! Great Witch!"

"Cultivation: Perfection in the initial phase of the Daluo Realm!"

"Cultivation method: Witch God Mnemonic!"

"Treasure: Military tools!"

"Divine Power: Body of a Great Witch! Indomitable War Spirit!"

"Loyalty: 90 (out of 100)!"

Perfection in the initial phase of the Daluo Realm!

Such cultivation could sweep across the Xuandang major world!

It also suggested that Patriarch Bodhi surpassed the Daluo Realm, even being able to manifest perfection in the initial phase of the Daluo Realm. Still, all attributes of Patriarch Bodhi remained unknown—what did this mean?

It meant that Patriarch Bodhi had surpassed the initial phase of the Daluo Realm, reaching a level currently unknown to Qin Jun.

At that moment, a black hole suddenly appeared above Qin Jun’s head, startling Sun Wukong and the others behind him. Before they could even react, a robust figure emitting an endless wilderness aura stepped out from it.

It was Xing Tian!

He wore black heavy armor, overwhelmingly tyrannical, with long hair dancing behind his head. His presence made all the civil and military officials behind Qin Jun, including Patriarch Bodhi, show signs of deep shock.

"So powerful... Could it be..."

Patriarch Bodhi furrowed his brow in thought. In his past life, he too had heard the name Xing Tian. Indeed, there was nobody who didn’t know it.

Even headless, he could still proudly fight on, ceaseless in life, relentless in battle!

Turning his neck, Xing Tian exhaled turbid breath and slowly raised his head to reveal a face that was utterly self-assured and wild, with eyes like blazing torches that were impossible to look directly into.

Upon landing, he twisted his body and laughed, "The long-lost strength has finally returned."

"How is this possible..."

Hou Yi and Kua Fu widened their eyes in disbelief, never having expected Xing Tian to be so strong.

Indeed, the student had surpassed the master.
