The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 199: Ao Wujian’s Trade

Time flew by, and seven days hurriedly passed.

The once-representative center of power, Imperial Palace Peak, had become a forbidden area. No one dared to approach, for Qin Jun and his group occupied the Bathing Thunder Pool there.

Over these days, various forces had joined hands in an attempt to seize the peak, but unfortunately, all attempts had ended in failure, with heavy casualties to boot.

Now no force dared to launch an assault anymore, and in a united front against Qin Jun, someone proposed electing a new Emperor, making the atmosphere throughout the royal city extremely tense.

The Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition was halted, and competitors from various kingdoms could only depart, reducing the population of the royal city, yet it remained engulfed in shifting winds and clouds.

The power of the Divine Sword Hall greatly diminished, their prestige plummeted, and they even became the weakest presence among the Seven Major Sects.

At this time, Cangyun Sect emerged as a new power, with Ao Wujian aiming to claim the throne!

Zhou Liang was displeased, the Bei Gong Clan behind Luo Emperor was displeased, and the Divine Sword Hall was also displeased.

Why should you become the Emperor?

Among the Seven Major Sects, Cangyun Sect was the weakest, and although Ao Wujian was strong, how could he possibly be stronger than Zhou Liang?

If the power wasn’t there and one wasn’t the strongest in personal combat, aspiring for the throne was wishful thinking. Just wait until the next Emperor gets killed by Qin Jun, then we’ll talk!

For a while, Qin Jun and his associates were temporarily overlooked, while the throne had the various forces torn and bleeding in their struggle for it.

The common people’s grievances rose, and the lords of various cities began to become restless. With the death of the Emperor, the Nanzhuo Dynasty indeed fell into turmoil. In a time of chaos, heroes emerge—who doesn’t want to become Emperor Di?

Atop Imperial Palace Peak, in front of the Bathing Thunder Pool cave.

Evening Star, Sha Wujing, Black and White Impermanence, Li Yuanba, Li Bai, Fa Hai, Qin Yun, Zhu Yanqing, Bai Menghu, and Roaring Sky Dog stood at the cliff’s edge, casually chatting. As for You Fenghuang, she had already left with her maids, claiming her mission had failed and that she had to return to the Netherworld Holy Sect.

Qin Jun, who was currently relishing in the refinement of the Bathing Thunder Pool, naturally couldn’t hear their conversation. Anyway, nobody tried to stop her, dating Qin Jun.

"Ah, how much longer does Brother have?" Qin Yun, with a blade of grass in his mouth, asked in a bored tone but filled with envy.

Li Bai retorted with annoyance, "The longer the better, of course. Unlike you, who are too weak to even qualify for entering the Bathing Thunder Pool."

Qin Yun almost spat blood in anger at the comment but didn’t dare to retort.

Him, not even at Foundation Establishment, would probably vanish into thin air upon entering the Bathing Thunder Pool. Not to mention Zhu Yanqing at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment also wouldn’t dare to venture in recklessly.

The reason the Bathing Thunder Pool was only offered to the top ten of the Hidden Dragon Martial Arts Competition was actually because of a strength baseline; it was common knowledge that the top ten were all beings of the Ascending Mortal Realm and naturally capable of enduring it.

Qin Jun was now of the Ascending Mortal Realm as well, and with his Undying Holy Body, his physical strength even surpassed most Ascending Mortal Realm cultivators.

"The fourth prince better focus on his cultivation. With Your Highness’s rate of progress, be careful or you might not even qualify to accompany him anymore," Jin Xing said thoughtfully.

Qualification!

Qualification!

Do you have to say it so many times?

Qin Yun was sullen but had no choice but to earnestly cultivate. Having followed Qin Jun for so long, he too had been inspired with ambition and was unwilling to live an insignificant life.

Meanwhile, inside the cave of the Bathing Thunder Pool, Daji and Li were sitting at the edge of the pool, cultivating on their own.

Boom!

A sudden explosive sound came from within the Bathing Thunder Pool, startling the two women into opening

"Diamond Indestructible! Brother Qin Jun’s Undying Saint Physique has actually broken through to the third layer of Diamond Indestructible!" Li exclaimed, her tone filled with pride, after all, Qin Jun was the man she fancied, the more powerful he was, the better.

Daji’s eyes were also filled with wonder as she watched the resolute-faced Qin Jun. In a daze, she reminisced about the first time they met months ago when Qin Jun, dressed in prisoner’s garb, was a very different person from the man before her now, both in strength and temperament. Such a stark contrast underscored just how much Qin Jun had improved.

Feeling the surging power within his body, Qin Jun was elated, yet he did not stop his cultivation method from running. After seven days of tempering, the spiritual energy within him had qualitatively changed. Although he did not continue to make breakthroughs, he could feel his combat power had increased several-fold.

Damn, this is so freaking awesome!

Even after breaking through to the Ascending Mortal Realm, he could fight beyond his level!

Could it be that I really have the fate of a main character?

Qin Jun thought proudly, but he did not immediately get up and leave the Bathing Thunder Pool.

According to Evening Star, each person has a certain limit to how much they can absorb from the Bathing Thunder Pool before it overflows, yielding no further benefit, much like how taking too much medicine would lead to drug resistance.

But Qin Jun hadn’t yet reached his limit; he could continue to grow stronger with the thunderous energy from the Bathing Thunder Pool.

Thus, Qin Jun once again plunged into the tedious practice of body tempering.

...

Three days later, a figure ascended Imperial Palace Peak.

"Scram in three breaths’ time, or die!" Wujing said coldly, toying with a skull hanging around his neck, a stark contrast to the honest and simple Sand Monk he used to be on the journey to the West.

The visitor was none other than Ao Wujian. Had he not spoken for Qin Jun before, he would have been dead by now. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Black and White Impermanence stared at Ao Wujian with a gloomy gaze. Li Bai and Li Yuanba looked displeased. Fa Hai and Evening Star were resting with their eyes closed. The esteemed sect leader of Cangyun Sect before them seemed like an unknown personage, not worth their attention at all.

Ao Wujian was not angry. He chuckled and said, "I am here to make a deal with Qin Jun. You can pass on the message for me."

A deal?

Everyone frowned. Evening Star couldn’t help but open his eyes and ask, "Speak."

"Don’t, Master..." Li Bai hurriedly began to say but stopped mid-speech when he saw the look in Evening Star’s eyes.

A hint of a smile in his eyes, Ao Wujian spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, "You help me claim the throne, and in return, the Nanzhuo Dynasty will help Qianyue Kingdom rise. In the future, our two sides will stand as equals. If Qin Jun’s power surpasses the Nanzhuo Dynasty, I can let the Nanzhuo Dynasty become his vassal."

With these words, the smile on Evening Star’s face deepened with significance.

Li Bai and others were shocked, while Qin Yun and Bai Menghu were dumbfounded. Damn, is this a move to subjugate the Nanzhuo Dynasty?

Elsewhere, Qin Jun, who was cultivating in the Bathing Thunder Pool, suddenly heard a system prompt:

"Ding! Your once-a-month chance for God and Demon summoning has arrived!"

Now, Qin Jun did not need to concentrate fully because the effect of the Bathing Thunder Pool was getting weaker. At this moment, he didn’t expect his chance to summon God and Demon would come.

Carefully calculating the time since summoning Black and White Impermanence, it had been three days since the city trial, which lasted for a week. Some time had passed before arriving at the imperial capital, and now ten days had passed since the great battle, altogether indeed reaching a month.

God and Demon summoning could only bring out one person. Though the God and Demon Legion was a group, even if he summoned a weakling, Qin Jun wasn’t afraid of trouble!

"Summon! Summon!"

Qin Jun urged forth in his mind, hoping to summon a wise God and Demon. He already had high-end combat strength; now, he needed talents for other aspects.

Someone like Jiang Ziya, Zhuge Liang, Bai Qi, and so on, even if they lacked strength, their military knowledge and strategy would suffice – their cultivation could be built up later!
