The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 865: 3000 Great Worlds

Chapter 865: Chapter 865: 3000 Great Worlds

At the edge of the Endless Sea, mountains stretched on endlessly, as far as the eye could see.

Monks and Demon Kings flitted by, following a path that led to an ancient castle quietly standing among the mountains, towering a hundred zhang, majestic and imposing.

This was the Jie Sect Palace, originally the palace of a second-tier force, which was later occupied by Randeng and renamed as the Jie Sect Palace.

At this moment, Randeng was preaching in the peach grove behind the Jie Sect Palace, while Chu Juhuai, dressed in ragged prison clothes, knelt before him, shivering, with a vacant look in his eyes, clearly his consciousness somewhat blurred.

The fall of an immortal to such a state was truly lamentable.

"What is the Dao, do you understand now?"

Randeng lay in his chair, shaking the Universe ruler in his hand as he smiled and asked. Chu Juhuai had the initial cultivation level of the Daluo beginning Immortal Realm. If cultivated well, he would undoubtedly be a powerful enforcer; otherwise, Randeng would not have bothered so much.

"Under... stood..." Chu Juhuai answered dully, his entire person seeming idiotic.

Randeng nodded in satisfaction, about to continue his preaching, when suddenly a disciple of the Jie Sect Palace hurried over.

"I pay my respects to the Master!"

The disciple knelt on one knee before Randeng and saluted. He glanced at Chu Juhuai, the corner of his mouth twitching.

The news that their master had captured the Demon from outside heaven sought by Heaven’s Chosen Mansion had not yet spread.

Very few disciples within the Jie Sect Palace knew about this, all deeply admiring Randeng, daring even to capture a Demon from outside heaven—so impressive.

Even though Randeng had previously been but a stepping stone to the great reputation of the Grand Supreme Elder Lord, he was still one of the formidable figures in the world, which is why the disciples of the Jie Sect Palace remained committed.

"What is it?"

Randeng asked nonchalantly. Having returned to the Jie Sect Palace, he finally relaxed. He decided that, unless absolutely necessary, he would never go to see the Yan Emperor again—it was nothing short of a nightmare.

"According to the spies, the leaders of various forces have set out, heading to the Juetian Plain, including Holy Emperor of Qin from the Great Qin Heaven, Demon Emperor, Sea Pole King from the Sea Pole Palace, Ji Family’s Ji Ruyi, Branch Wolf King, and so on."

Listening to his disciple’s report, Randeng straightened his posture.

The Nine Emperors of the world...

Should he even compete?

"Donghuang Taiyi has also made a move..." Randeng’s face twitched, he had formerly disregarded the Demon Emperor, but after regaining his past life memories, he recalled what Donghuang Taiyi represented.

A formidable figure just below the Sages during the Primordial Chaos.

Although Randeng did not know if Donghuang Taiyi still possessed his terrifying strength from his previous life, the mere mention of that name sent chills down his spine.

Because he, too, came from the Primordial Chaos, the horrifying scenes from the great conflict between witches and demons still made him shudder even to this day.

Qin Jun had Patriarch Bodhi and the Grand Supreme Elder Lord, perhaps they could contend with Donghuang Taiyi.

If Randeng were to go, he would only be a supporting character!

Moreover, he had a covenant with Qin Jun and was already secretly under Qin Jun’s command, so he dared not face Qin Jun for two reasons: it was humiliating and he was afraid.

"Master, should you not..."

This disciple asked tentatively, hinting that it was time for Randeng to depart.

If Randeng became one of the Nine Emperors, their Jie Sect Palace’s status would skyrocket.

"Of course I am going. Even the coward Sea Pole King dares to go, what should I fear?" Randeng cursed, his words also serving to bolster his own courage.

"I wish the Master a smooth ascension to Emperor status!"

The disciple called out excitedly, eliciting from Randeng an eye roll—he really felt like kicking him to death.

...

On the boundless grasslands, Qin Jun and his five companions soared through the clouds.

They were riding on the Somersault Cloud, and at the moment, Patriarch Bodhi was instructing Qin Jun. Yang Jian, Xing Tian, and the Golden Light Holy Mother listened curiously at the side.

"Your Majesty’s body refining technique is incomparably exquisite; even I can’t see through it, but one thing is certain, the more advanced it gets, the harder it is. It cannot be completed merely with time."

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard as he spoke, referring to Qin Jun’s Indestructible Holy Body cultivation method.

This cultivation method came from the era of Chaos; the initial levels were easy to cultivate, but not so the later ones. The Dragon Emperor has only reached the fourth level so far.

Qin Jun was now at the peak of the fourth level as well, just one step away from a breakthrough. The last time he broke through to the Golden Immortal Realm, he nearly breached the fifth level, becoming as great as the heavens and the earth, but unfortunately, he was still a bit short.

His rapid progress in cultivation was all thanks to the supply of heaven-sent resources; the Indestructible Holy Body could completely absorb these external substances without any side effects. Therefore, when Qin Jun absorbed treasures or elixirs, he never held back.

"I am well aware of this point, but I believe I can cultivate it to the peak," Qin Jun nodded in response. He had wanted Patriarch Bodhi to give him some pointers, but unfortunately, even the Patriarch was at a loss with the Indestructible Holy Body, as the cultivation method no longer needed improvement.

As for the Cycle Celestial Wheel and the Cycle Heavenly Palm, Ji Yongsheng adamantly refused to let Qin Jun disclose them.

According to him, these two Divine Powers are too entangled with many matters; the less known about them, the better.

In his time, Ji Yongsheng used these two Divine Powers to battle the myriad immortal gods unmatched, likely leaving a fierce reputation in the Ancient Immortal Realm.

At the same time, the original owner of these two Divine Powers, the Extreme Emperor, came from a mysterious background. Ji Yongsheng even suspected that he had not died, hence without the Extreme Emperor’s permission, they should not be divulged.

If Qin Jun wished to trace the Extreme Emperor, he would have to wait until after he broke through to heaven.

"Speaking of which, Your Majesty’s bloodline is not simple. Your innate talent is no weaker than Sun Wukong’s, perhaps even stronger. I wonder, from which clan do you hail?" Patriarch Bodhi asked out of curiosity. This remark made Sun Wukong snort indignantly. Had it been someone else, he would have challenged them with his staff, but since it was Qin Jun, he could only endure and offer no rebuttal.

Yang Jian and the others also looked at Qin Jun with confusion, remembering the formidable Demon Flame God he had condensed that day.

"My bloodline comes from..."

Qin Jun said with a smile, while he raised his hand and pointed to the sky, suggesting that it was a secret not to be disclosed.

From beyond the heavens?

Patriarch Bodhi and the others pondered, as they had no knowledge of the world beyond since their arrival in this realm.

It is said that there are at least three thousand worlds like the Xuandang Great World.

Three thousand great worlds.

"Eh, is there a war ahead?"

Sun Wukong suddenly pointed ahead and remarked. Although the Somersault Cloud could theoretically travel a hundred and eighty thousand miles in a single flip, that was a show of Divine Power. Their normal flying speed was not that fast, and Qin Jun and the others couldn’t endure flipping over and over again.

Two days had passed since they left the Great Qin Heavenly Court, and they had already crossed the domain of the God Temple, traversing over a dozen regions.

A war?

Qin Jun looked into the distance, only to see the horizon filled with billowing blood and the sound of explosions growing clearer as they drew nearer.

He could sense several powerful presences ahead; indeed strong for someone in the Golden Immortal Realm, but to Sun Wukong and others, they seemed quite weak.

"Let’s fly directly over it."

Qin Jun was disinterested; his sights were set on the challenges among the Nine Emperors. Friction between other powers didn’t concern him.

Just then, Qin Jun’s heart skipped a beat as a sense of bloodline connection he hadn’t felt in a long time suddenly resurfaced.

"Wait! Could this be..."

Qin Jun’s brow furrowed, causing Sun Wukong to turn back in bewilderment. Whatever could startle Qin Jun was certainly no trivial matter.

"Could it be that?" Qin Jun’s expression was filled with excitement.
