The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 1129: Zhang Bainren

"I’ll smack you, you little rascal!"

Qin Jun was furious, quickly moving behind Ling Ming to deliver a resounding smack on his little bottom.

The giggling Ling Ming was instantly stunned, his eyes welling up with tears at a visible rate.

"Wahhhhh—"

The little guy couldn’t bear the grievance and burst into loud tears.

Qin Jun couldn’t be bothered with him. His right hand worked a spell, drawing the Extreme Way flame within the study into the palm of his hand, ensuring the fire didn’t spread further.

Ling Ming continued to sob, puzzling the palace maids outside who dared not enter. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

Qin Jun suddenly regretted bringing the little one along; it seemed once King Yan Palace settled down, he would have to take Ling Ming back.

For the remaining time, he would focus on his cultivation and quietly await the day the Holy Sect of Xuan Pond would open.

"It seems this little fella needs to be educated!"

Qin Jun stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Ling Ming who was crying heartrendingly, his expression a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Only a few months after birth, this child was getting livelier and livelier.

Qin Jun then ignored Ling Ming and continued reviewing the petitions and scrolls by himself, letting Ling Ming cry on his own.

About half an hour later, when Ling Ming had cried himself almost hoarse, just as Qin Jun was softening and about to get up to hold him, the little tyke had surprisingly fallen asleep on the ground, bottom sticking up in the air, drool everywhere.

Qin Jun’s mouth twitched as he shook his head silently.

He went over to Ling Ming, picked him up, and held him in his arms, letting Ling Ming sleep against his chest.

The study grew quiet, and the young Qin Jun holding his son, one hand clutching a scroll, resembled a frozen, tender picture.

...

In the following two days, King Yan Palace was bustling like a marketplace, with numerous beings coming to pay their respects, while the names of Xuanyuan and Yan Emperor also completely shook the Wulan star domain and spread to the surrounding star domains.

The Jade Emperor had not yet shown himself to Qin Jun, but as the master of King Yan City, Qin Jun could easily overlook the entire city with his eyes closed. He had long been aware of the Jade Emperor’s arrival.

Even though the Jade Emperor concealed his aura, both Xuanyuan and Fuxi were at the peak of the Manifesting Saint Realm, able to clearly capture his presence and report it to Qin Jun.

"Ding! The Evening Star has reached the pinnacle of absolute loyalty and is about to return!"

The system notification suddenly rang, causing Qin Jun, who was cultivating in the study, to open his eyes.

He quickly asked the system to pull up the Evening Star’s characteristic list.

"The Evening Star, from mythology!"

"Identity: Founder of Taoism! The Greatest Dao Ancestor!"

"Cultivation: Half Holy!"

"Cultivation method: Supreme Taoist Techniques! Tao Te Ching!"

"Divine Power: Pocket Universe! Supreme Taoist Law! Three Pure Ones Transformation! Vast Emptiness!"

"Treasure: Eight Diagrams Furnace! Vajra Tool!"

"Loyalty: 100 (full score 100)!"

Half Holy!

Qin Jun’s body shook with excitement, his eyes suddenly sparkling.

This was beyond his expectations; he had assumed that the Evening Star would at most be at the peak of the Manifesting Saint Realm, or maybe he would have transformed into the Dao Ancestor.

But a Half Holy!

He had suddenly reached the heights of Yang Beiming, the universe’s number one!

However, it made sense as the Evening Star was the founder of Taoism, and in Journey to the West, he was even in charge of heaven, so such cultivation wasn’t unfounded.

Now that the Evening Star and Xuanyuan were guarding King Yan Palace, even the Demon League would dare to clash head-on!

Qin Jun was in a fantastic mood, almost bursting into laughter.

At that moment, a black hole suddenly appeared beside him. The Evening Star stepped out slowly. Fortunately, nobody else was in the study, and Ling Ming had been soothed by Yang Chan - perhaps it was because of Qin Jun’s smack two days ago that he wasn’t clinging to Qin Jun as much now.

Still clad in a Taoist robe, calm as a gentle breeze or light cloud, holding a Dust Brush, his gaze seemed even more detached than before.

The renowned indifference of the Evening Star wasn’t unfounded.

Laozi was counted among the saints as, aside from Hongjun, the most indifferent in nature, not proud but emotionless.

"I thank Your Majesty for the grace of rebirth!"

Tai Shang Lao Jun knelt down and paid homage to Qin Jun directly, his cultivation skyrocketing without the slightest hint of arrogance.

Even though his true self was a saint, he was sincerely pleased, not only because of the undying loyalty granted by the system, but because he understood how great Qin Jun’s favor was.

It allowed him not only to be reborn in this universe but also to regain his peak strength in a short time, an immeasurable favor.

Before, he was merely a Daluo beginner immortal, merely a strong being, but now he was confident in his unmatched power in the universe.

Of course, this excluded the emergence of the Holy Sect.

Qin Jun helped Tai Shang Lao Jun to his feet, smiling, "Between sovereign and minister, why speak of thanks? I acted for you, but also for myself."

Tai Shang Lao Jun gave a slight smile, not saying much, but keeping the kindness in his heart.

"Zhang Bainren is here, do you want to go have a look?"

Qin Jun said with a mysterious smile, Zhang Bainren being none other than the Jade Emperor.

There are many legends about the Jade Emperor, some say he was transformed by a Taoist boy of Hongjun, while others say he was the Jade Emperor incarnate upon touching the Lingzhi mushroom.

Among them, the myth of Zhang Bainren was widely spread among the people. The myth tells of the temporary absence of the Heavenly Emperor, prompting Evening Star to descend to the mortal world in search of candidates for the Jade Emperor, setting his sights on Zhang Bainren, whose identity was subject to various speculations, some suggesting a beggar, some a bandit leader.

Of course, Qin Jun believed more that Zhang Bainren was the reincarnation of the Jade Emperor, experiencing all aspects of the mortal world.

How could the position of the Jade Emperor be assigned by the Evening Star’s search in the mortal realm? It was too childishly simplistic.

Regardless, Zhang Bainren was inseparable from the Jade Emperor.

Tai Shang Lao Jun narrowed his eyes and asked, "The Jade Emperor is also here?"

His words indirectly confirmed Qin Jun’s guess that Zhang Bainren was one of the identities of the Jade Emperor.

"Hmm, I need you to give him a little nudge."

Qin Jun nodded slightly, although the Jade Emperor’s loyalty was not low, but after all, he was the Jade Emperor, a supreme Emperor Di, akin to an Immortal Venerable.

Who, being a dragon for so long, would wish to be a snake?

The Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors all passed on their throne, but who has ever heard of the Jade Emperor abdicating?

"No problem, right now?"

Tai Shang Lao Jun nodded and said, having frequently dealt with the Jade Emperor in his past life.

Qin Jun smiled and said, "Go ahead, don’t trouble yourself too much, let him follow his own thoughts to come before me, and after that, make sure to rest well, the King Yan Palace will rely on your support in the future."

"Your Majesty overestimates me."

Tai Shang Lao Jun bowed with a smile and then turned to leave the study.

Watching his retreating figure, Qin Jun’s smile bloomed.

Now, he had two Half-Holy subordinates, and eight Manifesting Saints, and although one had been taken away, such a lineup could sweep through the three thousand great worlds with ease.

"The Holy Sect... I am getting closer and closer to you!"

Qin Jun’s eyes flickered as he spoke; his smile turned colder and more resolute.

To challenge the Holy Sect, one must have saints under one’s command.

With Extreme Awakening at his disposal, he wasn’t worried about lacking saints.

Could Yang Jian, Fuxi, Patriarch Bodhi, Tai Shang Lao Jun, Luo Shixin, Di Jiang, and others not breakthrough to sainthood with their talents and the Extreme Awakening?

At this thought, Qin Jun’s excitement surged.

Immediately after, he continued to sit and cultivate.

Meanwhile, the Jade Emperor was drinking in an inn within King Yan City, listening to the creatures around him discuss the matter of the Chaos demon womb.

"Xuanyuan..."

The Jade Emperor’s gaze shimmered, lost in thought.

"Jade Emperor, come to the east of the city for a meeting."

Just then, the voice of Tai Shang Lao Jun suddenly echoed in the ear of the Jade Emperor, making his eyes widen and his breath quicken.
