The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 167: The Ten Evildoers

"You’re currently ranked 673rd on the human rankings, and among the cultivators under fifty years of age in the Southern Domain’s Righteous Dao, you’re definitely considered top-notch," Daji said, speaking matter-of-factly. This ranking did not excite Qin Jun; after all, there were still over six hundred people standing above him.

However, he noticed that Daji had specifically mentioned the Righteous Dao in her statement.

So, he asked, "Could it be that the Demonic Dao also has a human ranking?" freёnovelkiss.com

He had perused the human rankings and had not seen the names of demonic cultivators.

As they spoke, the medicine’s potency was growing stronger, and the pain was so intense that he felt as if his body was being devoured by thousands of insects. He almost wished he could bite his tongue off and end it all.

For the sake of becoming powerful, endure!

He had crossed over to this world against his will. Although he had acquired the mythology system, he still despised this feeling.

One day, he would become so powerful that not even the mythology system could bind him!

"Of course, it’s only natural. The vastness of Destiny Pavilion is beyond imagination, far surpassing anything the Seven Major Sects of the Nanzhuo Dynasty could compare to," Daji said with a smile, nodding. Destiny Pavilion could be considered the largest and most mysterious force they knew of.

Having influence over both the Righteous and Demonic Dao was no simple feat.

Qin Jun did not continue to inquire, as the medicinal effects had now fully taken hold, and the pain made it impossible for him to speak.

Daji saw his agony and silently stood by his side, watching over him as time quickly passed by.

It’s likely that few cultivators would spend such a considerable amount of spirit stones on potent heavenly materials and earth treasures to temper their bodies, but Qin Jun was exceptional. After all, he was destined to become an emperor, so naturally, he wasn’t stingy.

He had to use what was necessary; hoarding them wouldn’t produce more spirit stones.

During his cultivation period, city trials were also taking place in various cities. Although Luoyan City did not require an arena competition, most other cities did, marking a long period of time.

...

In the blink of an eye, seven days had swiftly passed.

The Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition was always a hot topic throughout the Imperial Dynasty. Based on the performances in the city trials, some enthusiasts listed the top ten prodigies who were favorites to win the championship, most of them with nine-star ratings.

Both Qin Jun and Li Yuanba made it onto this list, with Li Yuanba ranked within the top three and Qin Jun coming in eighth.

Furthermore, the relationship between Qin Jun and Li Yuanba was widely speculated upon. Most cultivators believed that during the finals in the imperial city, Li Yuanba would turn against Qin Jun. Given the performance in the city trials, it was clear that Qin Jun relied on Li Yuanba’s support. Considering the significance of winning the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition, Qin Jun being just a prince of a kingdom, it would be absurd if Li Yuanba continued his loyalty at such a moment; doing so would mean he’s brainless.

Little did they know, Li Yuanba was not far from being brainless.

One midday, as Li was about to call Qin Jun down for lunch, she saw him standing bare-chested in a wooden tub. His face brimmed with excitement as he looked at his own hands, covered in medicinal liquid. Even his black trousers were soaked and clung tight to his lower body, revealing perfectly sculpted muscle lines, delivering a potent visual impact.

The second layer of the Indestructible Saint Body, Iron Bone and Steel Muscle, he had achieved it!

Qin Jun was overjoyed as he felt the explosive power within his body; he believed that he could bring down the entire Roaming Dragon Inn with a single punch.

Iron Bone and Steel Muscle, as the name implied, meant his bones and muscles were as hard as steel. His swift progress in cultivation was not only due to the accumulated effects of the medicinal herbs but also thanks to the dragon pearl.

Cultivating one’s body also required the absorption of spiritual energy, and the dragon pearl he obtained from the world of treasured items contained an immense amount of spiritual energy, facilitating his breakthroughs.

"Bring up my attribute list!" Qin Jun called out in his mind. As soon as he spoke, a screen visible only to him appeared before him:

"Host: Qin Jun!"

"Race: Human!"

"Level: Seventh Layer of the Golden Elixir Realm (340211/350000 experience points)!"

"Bloodline: None!"

"Magical Instruments: Destroyer Gatling (Earth Grade Upper Rank), Desert Eagle (Yellow Grade Upper Rank)!"

"Treasures: Silver Dragon Soul-Subduing Spear (acquired treasure), Purple Gold Emperor Armor (acquired treasure)!"

"Divine Powers: 36 Heavenly Transformations!"

"Cultivation Methods: Indestructible Saint Body (ancient body tempering cultivation method), Purple Rainbow Lightning Technique (Heaven Grade Upper Rank), Energy Refining Mnemonic (Mortal Grade Middle Rank)!"

"Summoned Gods and Demons: Daji, Roaring Sky Dog, Emperor Guan, Fa Hai, Evening Star, Dragon Maiden, Li Yuanba, Li Bai, Black and White Impermanence!"

The eighth layer of the Golden Elixir Realm was getting closer and closer!

Qin Jun’s excitement surged as he unconsciously twisted his body, causing a crackling sound like popping beans from his joints. With a casual swing of his fist through the air, there was even a sonic boom.

Exhilarating!

Qin Jun was increasingly confident about the upcoming final contest in the imperial city. Even without relying on Li Yuanba, he felt assured he could make a significant impact.

"Brother Qin Jun, it’s time to come down for lunch," Li said as she picked up Qin Jun’s clothes from the bed and walked over with a smile, preparing to help Qin Jun get dressed.

Qin Jun quickly replied, "Leave them here; I need to change my trousers first. You go ahead."

Li nodded and then turned to leave. Belonging to the Dragon Clan, she naturally didn’t blush at the sight of Qin Jun’s bare upper body, as dragons did not wear clothes.

Seeing this, Qin Jun couldn’t help feeling a bit regretful; he had thought that the lass might insist on helping him change his trousers, alas!

Not long after, dressed in white, Qin Jun joined Evening Star and others at a corner on the second floor.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, on your advancement in cultivation!" Evening Star rose to his feet and bowed with a smile, prompting Li Bai, Li Yuanba, Fa Hai, Daji, and Li to stand as well. Upon hearing this, Jia Xun and others hastily got up, eyes gleaming as they looked at Qin Jun.

Zhu Yanqing also stared at Qin Jun with an unusual gaze.

Recently, except for meals, Qin Jun had barely come downstairs, and his diligence put people like Qin Yun to shame.

Murong Xuan, Zong Yan, and Yang Lan had already moved to another inn; they couldn’t bear to stay with Qin Jun and the rest any longer. Notably, they were eliminated on the second day of the city trials. Humiliated, they longed to return to the Wuqi Kingdom immediately, but since Zhu Yanqing had advanced, they had to wait.

"Well, let’s sit down and eat," Qin Jun said with a smile, waving his hand.

Having attained Iron Bone and Steel Muscle, his mood was excellent, and he even hummed a tune as he picked up his food.

Now, he could be considered a powerful figure. Although unable to compare to freaks like Evening Star, he still wielded considerable influence within the kingdom.

"Your Highness, you’ll be setting off for the imperial city the day after tomorrow," Jia Xun reminded from an adjacent table.

Qin Jun nodded. He couldn’t wait to show off—no, to give his best effort—in the final competition in the imperial city.

Then Qin Jun began to eat voraciously. Body cultivators had a great need for food, unlike energy refining cultivators who could live off spiritual energy after reaching the Golden Elixir Realm.

But the cultivators in this world were different from those in Huaxia’s online novels from before. Most cultivators still enjoyed eating, especially in large inns like the Roaming Dragon Inn, where the ingredients were meat from magical beasts. Not only were they delicious, but they could also improve cultivation—albeit slightly. At least they had some effect.

"Your Highness, let’s meet outside later. I have an urgent matter to report," Black Impermanence’s chilling voice suddenly sounded in Qin Jun’s ear, causing his eyebrows to rise.
