Chapter 276: Monkeys with Open Arms

In less than two days, Lord Jun Qing had conquered all the forces in the city of Shashan, causing a sensation among the people and spreading the news to other cities.

Thus, the name of Lord Jun Qing began to spread in the unclaimed territory, catching the attention of many forces.

After General Qin stationed the subordinates of You Fenghuang and Dan Mingzi at the city gates and various streets, the system prompt sounded smoothly:

"Ding! Completed the side mission - Conquer the city of Shashan! Obtain a chance to summon a deity or demon! And provoke the Four Gods Sect!"

Not bad!

Although there was only one chance to summon a deity or demon, Qin Jun didn't care about provoking the Four Gods Sect.

The unclaimed territory was far from the Great Qin Kingdom, so even if his identity was exposed, he wasn't afraid!

Moreover, the Four Gods Sect was not a concern in his eyes. The Great Qin Kingdom now had the strength to contend with the imperial court. It might be difficult to destroy the Four Gods Sect, but it was not impossible!

Sitting cross-legged under a tree, Qin Jun breathed in and said to the system in his mind, "By the way, system, shouldn't you reward me for collecting awakening stones?"

The reason for provoking the Four Gods Sect ultimately stemmed from the awakening stones, so Qin Jun wanted to negotiate with the system.

After a brief silence, the system asked, "What does the host want?"

"Give me a luck boost. I want to summon a deity or demon randomly now!" Qin Jun smirked shamelessly.

The reason he had a mandatory task was that the system made an exception to summon a powerful being above the True Immortal Realm for him.

The system didn't answer, but Qin Jun shook his head with a smile, not expecting much.

"Okay!"

After about ten seconds of silence, the system unexpectedly agreed, much to Qin Jun's delight.

"Ding! Now, start the random summoning of a deity or demon..."

Qin Jun couldn't help but feel excited, hoping to summon a powerful being above the True Immortal Realm!

However, based on past experience, the beings he hoped for were unlikely to be summoned.

For example, Sun Wukong, Erlang Shen, the Buddha, and the Daoist Three Pure Ones might never be summoned.

So far, the summoned deities and demons were almost all supporting characters from various mythological stories, which was quite disappointing.

Despite the complaints, Qin Jun was still quite satisfied with deities and demons like Lei Zhenzi.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning the Arhat with the Iron Staff - Yuan Hong, from Fengshen Yanyi..."

Damn!

Yuan Hong, the Arhat with the Iron Staff!

Qin Jun's eyes widened suddenly. He had finally summoned one of the Four Great Monkeys!

The Arhat with the Iron Staff, capable of transforming, understanding the timing of the heavens, knowing the advantages of the earth, and moving stars and changing constellations.

The Red-Bottomed Horse Monkey, understanding the yin and yang, knowing human affairs, skilled in entering and leaving, and avoiding death and prolonging life.

The Arhat with the Iron Staff, holding the sun and moon, shrinking mountains, discerning right and wrong, and playing with the universe.

The Six-Eared Macaque, adept at listening to sounds, understanding principles, knowing the past and future, and having insight into all things.

Among them, the renowned Great Sage Equaling Heaven was the Arhat with the Iron Staff. Although the original Journey to the West did not mention Sun Wukong as the Arhat with the Iron Staff, later generations regarded Sun Wukong as the Arhat with the Iron Staff due to the evolution of mythology.

The Six-Eared Macaque was even more extraordinary, able to eavesdrop on the Three Realms, and could match Sun Wukong, even deceiving powerful beings such as Guanyin Bodhisattva, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Li Tianwang, making it difficult for them to distinguish the true from the false Monkey King.

"Is Yuan Hong from Fengshen Yanyi the Arhat with the Iron Staff?" Qin Jun asked eagerly in his heart.

Yuan Hong was a white ape who had cultivated into a demon and was also the leader of the Seven Saints of Mount Mei. Yang Jian couldn't deal with him, and he ultimately died under the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife of Lu Ya Dao Ren.

Of course, Yuan Hong was definitely no match for Yang Jian during the time of the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which was over two thousand years before the Tang Dynasty.

"There are many versions of mythology. In the system, the Arhat with the Iron Staff is Yuan Hong, and in addition, Sun Wukong's setting is also one of the Four Great Monkeys," the system replied.

Qin Jun didn't dwell on it. In the grand scheme of things, the system was supreme!

In any case, the stronger the Arhat with the Iron Staff, the better!

"Quickly bring up Yuan Hong's attribute list!" Qin Jun urged eagerly, almost wanting to kiss the system.

Yuan Hong was a presence above Lei Zhenzi!

"Yuan Hong, from Fengshen Yanyi."

"Race: Arhat with the Iron Staff!"

"Cultivation: Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm!"

"Technique: Nine Revolutions Body Refining Technique!"

"Magic Weapon: Iron Staff!"

"Supernatural Powers: Eight-Nine Profound Technique! Indestructible Body!"

"Loyalty: 95 (Full value 100)!"

Explosive!

Ninth Layer of the Golden Immortal Realm!

Qin Jun's breathing became rapid in an instant. Yuan Hong's Eight-Nine Profound Technique, also known as the Seventy-Two Transformations, was indeed similar to Sun Wukong. Both used a staff, both could perform the Seventy-Two Transformations, and Yuan Hong possessed the Indestructible Body, while Sun Wukong had the Adamantine Body. The two monkeys were practically the same template.

Some even said that Sun Wukong was the reincarnation of Yuan Hong. However, according to the system's words just now, Sun Wukong and Yuan Hong should not have a direct connection.

"Damn, with Yuan Hong here, I'm going to crush the Southern Domain!" Qin Jun was ecstatic. With Lei Zhenzi and Yuan Hong teaming up, he wasn't afraid of the Abyss Gate!

He could directly storm the headquarters of the Abyss Gate without needing any strategy!

Qin Jun was so excited that he couldn't contain himself. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to gather all Four Great Monkeys. The scene was too beautiful to imagine!

At that moment, Liu Bowen entered the courtyard.

"Master, I've come up with a plan to infiltrate the Abyss Gate," Liu Bowen said with a smile, bowing to Qin Jun. Qin Jun respected his subordinates, and with so many powerful individuals under him, he could fully utilize his talents, so his loyalty had been steadily increasing. It probably wouldn't be long before it reached full value and turned into unwavering loyalty.

"No need!" Qin Jun waved his hand, suppressing his excitement, leaving Liu Bowen stunned.

Qin Jun clenched his fists and sneered, "We don't need a plan. When we find the secret branch of the Abyss Gate, we'll teleport directly to the Abyss Gate headquarters and start a war to crush the Abyss Gate!"

"Master, we must not act impulsively!" Liu Bowen quickly advised. Although Lei Zhenzi had repelled the elders of the Abyssal Sect, he had openly admitted that he was not a match for the sect leader of the Abyssal Sect.

Qin Jun replied with a hidden meaning, "Bowen, don't worry, I definitely have my confidence in doing this! We just need to wait for the news from the Abyssal Sect's branch."

Liu Bowen frowned tightly, suddenly recalling the experiences mentioned by Taibai Jinxing and others, and seemed to understand something, a hint of excitement appearing on his face.

"In that case, I won't disturb Master's cultivation."

Smartly, Liu Bowen didn't ask further questions, and after bowing, he turned and left.

Qin Jun began to look forward to when Yuan Hong would appear.

This is like a version of Sun Wukong; there is not a single Chinese person who is not a fan of the Monkey King!

"Continue cultivating and break through the Illusionary Realm as soon as possible!"

Qin Jun made an effort to clear his mind and continued to cultivate while sitting cross-legged on the ground.

The Thirty-Six Transformations of the Heavenly Constellation were already being used skillfully by him, although most of the time he didn't need to use all thirty-six transformations.

The Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique was also about to break through to the fifth level. The Heavenly Grade cultivation technique made his spiritual power quantity and quality surpass that of most cultivators at the same level. His Indestructible Holy Body was still at the third level of the Adamantine Unbreakable Body. Of course, his Adamantine Unbreakable Body couldn't compare to Sun Wukong's Adamantine Unbreakable Body; it could only withstand attacks from magical weapons. If the opponent used a magical treasure, he would be seeking death by resisting with his body.

Magical treasures, divine abilities, Heavenly Grade cultivation techniques, and ancient tempered body techniques!

Just relying on these, Qin Jun didn't need to practice spells. He even had a feeling that he could fight against a strong person who had just entered the Illusionary Realm, but unfortunately, he never had the opportunity to verify it.
