The Strongest Mythical Emperor
Chapter 955 Innate Bodhi Root

Chapter 955: Chapter 955 Innate Bodhi Root

Saint Emperor Peak, within the Imperial Garden.

Under the guidance of Pipa, Patriarch Bodhi made his way over, and Qin Jun stood at the cliff’s edge, looking out over the flourishing, picturesque Holy City.

"Your Majesty."

Patriarch Bodhi bent and clasped his hands in salute, while Pipa discreetly withdrew, understanding the situation.

The campaign continued, and the domains under the control of the Great Qin Heavenly Court had broken through to more than sixty, with triumphs reported daily. Qin Jun intentionally had Liu Bowen issue a public decree to the Southern Domain’s Heavenly World, allowing the citizens to share in the glory.

"Bodhi, you’ve come."

Qin Jun turned to face Patriarch Bodhi with a mysterious smile on his face.

Time swiftly passed in the midst of war, and he had accumulated five opportunities for God and Demon instance access, two more than the monthly allotment.

Plus, with the designated God and Demon summoning opportunities yet to be used, it was as if he could summon twice again.

This time, he had specifically called for Patriarch Bodhi to help him analyze the situation.

The current Great Qin Heavenly Court was exceptionally strong, and he didn’t want to wait until a crisis emerged to summon help; he preferred the thrill of being invincibly overbearing!

During this period, his cultivation had also fortuitously broken through to the third layer of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm.

After the awakening of his main soul, his cultivation speed was incredibly fast, like the wind.

"May I know what matter has led Your Majesty to summon this poor Daoist?" Patriarch Bodhi asked curiously.

Qin Jun said cheerfully, "Bodhi, in your memory, which Manifesting Saint Realm powerhouse has a good temper?"

The designated God and Demon summoning opportunity was originally limited to summoning within five major realms, but with the system’s upgrade, this restriction has been removed. However, saints still couldn’t be summoned, and there was a risk of them being directly banished.

Although he had Patriarch Bodhi as a powerful support, the God and Demon would not appear immediately by his side; they would materialize far away, in places unknown to him.

It was possible that they could defect even before he met with Patriarch Bodhi.

"A Manifesting Saint with a good temper?" Patriarch Bodhi looked perplexed, unclear on Qin Jun’s intention.

"Are you speaking of this life or a previous one?" Patriarch Bodhi frowned and inquired.

In this life, he didn’t recognize a second Manifesting Saint.

But from a previous life, he indeed knew quite a few.

"Previous life." Qin Jun’s gaze was intense as he asked.

He had originally inquired with the system, but its reply was ambiguous, saying the temperament of those above the entering the realm of the sage was hard to accurately gauge, unless the host became stronger.

"If we’re talking about good temper, then Immortal Zhenyuan, Her Highness Houtu, Shennong, Red Cloud..."

Patriarch Bodhi mulled over these names and began reciting them, then hesitated and said, "Although they have good tempers, that doesn’t mean they are easily subjugated."

Immortal Zhenyuan, the foremost among the Earth Immortals, had a decent temperament, and could even swear brotherhood with Sun Wukong. But throughout history, he had never bowed to anyone, surviving through Great Tribulations, and remaining carefree in the world; he was definitely no ordinary figure.

Her Highness Houtu, one of the Witch Clan ancestors and the embodiment of reincarnation, probably only had the Witch Clan in her heart.

Shennong... was ultimately an Emperor Di.

Qin Jun began to feel a headache coming on when he suddenly thought of something and curiously asked, "What exactly is your relationship with Cundi and Jieyin?"

In a previous life, there were various claims about Patriarch Bodhi’s identity, the most common being that Patriarch Bodhi was a split body of Saint Cundi.

This view mainly stemmed from a poem in Investiture of the Gods about Daoist Cundi, which bore similarities to a description of Patriarch Bodhi in Journey to the West.

But were the two really related?

Patriarch Bodhi appeared troubled and then slowly said, "This poor Daoist is a manifestation of Primordial Bodhi and was born at the same place as the two Grandmasters, Cundi and Jieyin. Cundi is the primordial root of Bodhi, making him akin to a brother to me. However, he was nurtured earlier, and later bonded with Jieyin. Together, they made a grand vow to make the vast lands of Primordial Chaos prosperous in the western regions."

Primordial Bodhi?

Primordial root of Bodhi?

Qin Jun’s eyes widened in surprise; he had never expected the relationship between Cundi and Patriarch Bodhi to be such—they could practically be considered brothers, which explained their resemblance.

"What is Jieyin’s true form?" Qin Jun asked curiously.

In the mythology of Primordial Chaos, there are seven saints, namely Dao Ancestor Hongjun, Laozi, Primordial Lord of Heaven, Grandmaster of Heaven, Nvwa, Cundi, and Jieyin.

Cundi and Jieyin belong to the inseparable kind, both serving as the dual leaders of the Western Sect.

Although Cundi possesses the unmatched Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, it is generally believed that Jieyin is somewhat stronger.

Sooner or later, Qin Jun would come into contact with a saint, so he wanted to learn more about them.

"Jieyin?" Patriarch Bodhi’s expression became strange.

"Your Majesty, it’s better not to delve too deeply into matters of that level for now; it could mislead your cultivation heart," Patriarch Bodhi hinted with profound meaning.

Qin Jun was puzzled, thinking to himself that he was merely curious.

Since Patriarch Bodhi was reluctant to say more, he didn’t insist further.

Should he summon an ancestral witch to confront Donghuang Taiyi?

A bold idea suddenly came to Qin Jun’s mind; the ancestral witches would definitely clash head-on with Donghuang Taiyi, their hatred from the great conflict between witches and demons was eternally irreconcilable, especially since Donghuang Taiyi had not yet returned to his peak.

"No, the ancestral witches are too wild, only recognizing Pangu; besides, they would lead away Xing Tian, Hou Yi, and Kua Fu."

Qin Jun quickly dismissed the idea. The twelve ancestral witches were definitely among the strongest in the Manifesting Saint realm; otherwise, how could they have forced Donghuang Taiyi and Di Jun to detonate themselves?

Summoning any ancestral witch at random would be difficult for Patriarch Bodhi to suppress since the ancestral witches cultivated their bodies, not their Primordial Spirits. No matter how many divine powers Patriarch Bodhi could use, they would all be blown away with a single punch.

It wasn’t necessary to summon a Manifesting Saint, and even if he did, they would be hard to control.

How about summoning a powerful being who was entering the realm of the sage realm?

Guangchengzi, Master Xuandu, Zhao Gongming, Taoist Duobao, Her Highness Sanxiao, Daoist Lu Ya...

A series of names flashed through Qin Jun’s mind. These God and Demon were at least entering the realm of the sage, and it was very likely that they had reached the Manifesting Saint realm.

Just then, dark clouds suddenly gathered above Saint Emperor Peak, the sea of clouds surged strangely, and an immense oppressive force descended from the sky, causing countless creatures to hold their breath.

"This aura..."

Patriarch Bodhi murmured with a frown, which made Qin Jun slightly raise his eyebrows. An aura that could affect Patriarch Bodhi was definitely terrifying.

Inside the Xuandang Great World, there was definitely no one that could make Patriarch Bodhi feel apprehensive.

Could it be the Ancient Immortal Realm?

Have they come so quickly?

A multitude of thoughts flashed through Qin Jun’s mind as he looked up to see a massive vortex emerging from the churning clouds, extending and covering the sun and sky.

"Roar—"

The roar of Qiongqi resounded through heaven and earth, as it was seen spiraling in the sky with the little Torch Dragon, Suanni, and the Double-pupil Bird.

"Who is the Heavenly Emperor of Qin!"

An extremely authoritative voice rang out, like the god of thunder speaking lowly, echoing across the entire Southern Domain celestial world, instantly causing an uproar.

Had a mysterious powerhouse come to launch a surprise attack on the court of Great Qin Heaven?

"Who dares to be so presumptuous!"

Patriarch Bodhi snorted coldly, his aura skyrocketing, easily dissipating that oppressive force.

Qin Jun was not worried at all; after all, with Patriarch Bodhi in the late phase of the Manifesting Saint realm with him, whom should he fear?

Not even the Ancient Immortal Realm could find someone to contend against Patriarch Bodhi.

"Which hidden coward is making noise!"

Qin Jun shouted angrily, prompting the corner of Patriarch Bodhi’s mouth to twitch.
