Chapter 982: Chapter 982: Ancestral Witch Qiang Liang

"Are you fucking kidding me?"

It took Qin Jun half a day to squeeze out such a sentence.

Nether River Ancestral Patriarch is not famous in traditional mythology, but rather shone brightly in the mythology of Primordial Chaos.

It is said that when Pangu opened the heavens, everything was transformed from his body, his navel turning into the sea of blood, from which the Nether River Ancestral Patriarch was born.

As long as the Sea of Blood is not dry, Nether River Ancestral Patriarch cannot die.

Unless a sage takes action, no one can kill Nether River Ancestral Patriarch.

This guy is most famous for establishing the Asura Sect, attempting to emulate the Three Pure Ones, Jieyin, Cundi, and Nvwa in becoming a sage, but sadly failed. He first created the Asura Clan, then the Asura Sect, all to no avail, simply because the Asura Clan’s nature is to love killing, which is not favored by the Heavenly Dao.

In summary, Nether River Ancestral Patriarch is extremely formidable, belonging to the same tier as Di Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

With his ambitious nature, it was natural for him not to want to submit to Qin Jun, and being banished was quite normal.

But isn’t this just giving him a headache?

"System, you must give me an explanation!"

Unable to suppress his anger, Qin Jun raged. Although it was mainly about luck, why on earth did the summon have to be such a powerful being?

This is an existence that not even Randeng can compare to.

You owe me a Di Jun!

If not, even compensating me with a Zhao Gongming wouldn’t be so bad!

"Because the system has been upgraded, any banished God and Demon will automatically be sent outside of heaven to prevent harming the host."

The system answered, which made Qin Jun sigh in relief.

Nether River Ancestral Patriarch is a troublemaker not inferior to Randeng, and throwing him outside the heavens meant it was not he who should have a headache, but the three thousand worlds.

Relieved as he was, he was still very annoyed.

What a waste of a summoning opportunity!

His heart was bleeding.

"Merge my five God and Demon sub-instance chances into a God and Demon summoning opportunity. If it’s not a designated God and Demon summoning chance, you might as well kill yourself, system!"

Qin Jun threatened in his heart. Although his threat had no effect on the system, he couldn’t feel better without venting.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for merging five God and Demon sub-instance chances into one designated God and Demon summoning opportunity!"

Accompanied by the system notification, Qin Jun let out a long breath.

This time the system didn’t screw him over.

Now he has two designated God and Demon summoning opportunities, and he can use one of them now.

He can save the remaining one for after his breakthrough to the Taiyi Scattered Immortal Realm.

By then, he could summon a being at the pinnacle of entering the realm of the sage.

He must summon someone whose potential is no less than Nether River Ancestral Patriarch’s.

"Di Jun, at the pinnacle of the Daluo Luoshi Immortal Realm, would he betray me?"

Qin Jun raised an eyebrow, a scheme suddenly forming in his mind.

To summon Di Jun, who had no recollection of his past life, just to spite Donghuang Taiyi?

Not a bad idea!

"The system can guarantee that Di Jun would not flee on the spot, but he possesses the Ziwei Emperor Star Dao Fruit and is born with the Emperor Di’s destiny, which makes him prone to turning against you in the future."

The system responded, forcing Qin Jun to abandon the idea.

He certainly didn’t want to hand over a teammate to Donghuang Taiyi.

Only when he had an opportunity for absolute loyalty at the pinnacle, would he summon Di Jun.

"What about the Ancestral Witches then?"

"As long as Pangu does not appear, there shouldn’t be a big problem with the Ancestral Witches. Of course, if they recover their peak strength, that’s not necessarily the case."

The system considerately analyzed for Qin Jun, sharpening his gaze.

The Twelve Ancestral Witches are the incarnations of Pangu’s essence and blood, ranking as the elders of figures such as Hou Yi, Kua Fu, and Xing Tian.

Among them, Fire God, Gonggong, Torch Dragon, and Houtu are the most renowned, especially Gonggong, who is widely known in later generations for his furious assault on Mount Buzhou.

The fight between Fire God and Gonggong that brought down Mount Buzhou shows they had lousy tempers.

Although all Twelve Ancestral Witches except for Houtu had bad tempers, these two were the most explosive.

Representing twelve different attributes, the spatial Ancestral Witch and time-controlling Torch Dragon were the strongest. It’s worth noting that the mythology source of Torch Dragon was none other than the Torch Dragon itself, but now it has become part of the Witch Clan, yet its strength remains formidable.

"Let’s summon the Thunder Ancestral Witch, Qiang Liang then! Qiang Liang with a perfect culmination in the Daluo Immortal Realm! Recover the memories of past lives!"

The lightning attribute brings the most domineering destructive power in battle!

The "Great Desolation Northern Scripture" records: "In the Great Desolation, there is a mountain called the North Pole Celestial Cabinet, into which the northern sea flows. There are gods with nine heads and bird bodies, human faces, called Nine Phoenixes. There is also a god, with a tiger head and human body, four hoofs, and long elbows, called Qiang Liang, who holds and wields snakes."

Perhaps Qiang Liang isn’t particularly prominent in mythology, but he’s quite suitable to be used as a heavy hitter.

As for stronger beings like Di Jiang and Torch Dragon, Qin Jun wasn’t absolutely sure. If these two were to regain their peak form, it’s highly likely they would immediately revolt.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Qiang Liang!"

Listening to the pleasant system alert, Qin Jun’s mood brightened once again.

He then had the system bring up Qiang Liang’s attribute list:

"Qiang Liang, from mythological legends!"

"Identity: Thunder Ancestral Witch!"

"Cultivation: Perfection in the Daluo Immortal Realm!"

"Cultivation Method: Proving the Way with Strength!"

"Divine Power: World-Ending Thunder Prison! The Transformation of a Billion Thunders! True Ancestral Witch Form!"

"Loyalty: 71 (Full value 100)!"

A simple attribute list, but it exuded an indescribable dominance.

The Ancestral Witches did not have Primordial Spirits and couldn’t develop magical powers. Like Pangu, they proved the Way with strength, but Pangu possessed a Primordial Spirit and even transformed into the Three Pure Ones.

"Tsk tsk, summoning an Ancestral Witch will be fun when we encounter Donghuang Taiyi in the future."

Qin Jun’s face was filled with a teasing smile, knowing the hatred between the Twelve Ancestral Witches and figures like Di Jun and Donghuang Taiyi was nearly insurmountable.

Although he missed summoning the Nether River Ancestral Patriarch, summoning the Thunder Ancestral Witch Qiang Liang was also quite good.

Qin Jun was looking forward to seeing how Xing Tian, Kua Fu, and Hou Yi would react to Qiang Liang’s performance.

The night was hazy, and as Qin Jun gazed at the myriad of stars in the night sky, his heart soared beyond the heavens.

...

Early the next morning, Qin Jun called back Qiongqi and tasked it with guarding the Southern Domain’s heavenly world.

Even though Qiongqi was one of the Four Dire Beasts, after acknowledging Qin Jun as its master, it became incredibly obedient, with its loyalty increased to ninety-eight, earning Qin Jun’s fondness.

Emperor Yao was a wise ruler. With him, Bai Ze, and Liu Bowen governing together, the Great Qin heavenly court was not going to fall into disorder.

He himself had reached the late stages of the Daluo Immortal Realm. Once strong figures like the Perfected Person, Taoist Heavenly Venerable, and others returned, no one could breach the Southern Domain’s heavenly world.

As for the Emperor of Heavenly Destiny and the mysterious powers backing him, they were not likely to appear again, otherwise, they would have attacked long ago.

This time, news of Qin Jun’s departure was known to only a few people.

Those who knew the details were beings he trusted, and he would use seclusion as an excuse to stay out of sight for the time being.

At this moment, in the Imperial Garden, Qin Jun was accompanied by a tall and burly man, standing a full ten feet high, with disheveled hair and wearing a cloth made of animal fur. His muscles were exaggerated and he emanated a wild aura. He was bowing slightly, letting his unkempt hair obscure his face so no one could see it clearly.

Patriarch Bodhi stood in front of Qin Jun, and aside from him, Bai Ze, Liu Bowen, Emperor Yao, Daji, Black Butterfly Fairy, Zhu Yanqing, You Fenghuang, Wang Xue, and Li were also present.

Qiongqi, Little Torch Dragon, and Double-pupil Bird played in the sky, their sizes now reduced to that of calves, which ironically made them look cute.

Bai Ze looked at Qiang Liang in silence.

The atmosphere was quite odd.

"Your Majesty, please be careful on your journey," said Daji first, breaking the silence with concern. She didn’t know Qiang Liang; her eyes were only for Qin Jun, hoping for his safe return.
