Chapter 309: What is a Immortal God

"Immortal? With your cultivation, can you be considered an immortal or a deity?" Qin Jun interrupted the old man Yi and asked, not exaggerating to say that with Qin Jun's current cultivation, he was like a deity to ordinary people.

Even further, transcending the mortal realm could also be considered a divine existence, because they stood at the peak of the kingdom.

In Qin Jun's understanding, immortals and deities were relative. In his eyes, old man Yi, Yuan Hong, and Lei Zhenzi were all considered immortals and deities.

"It's not as simple as you think. The human race cultivates immortality, seeking longevity. Even I have a limit to my lifespan. Only by cultivating into an immortal can one achieve immortality. And to become an immortal, one needs the recognition of the heavenly dao and obtain an immortal position," old man Yi explained, making Qin Jun suddenly realize.

If the myths of Huaxia were connected to form a system, the Heavenly Court ruled by the Jade Emperor was established through the Immortal List, and each immortal had their own responsibilities in managing the laws of heaven and earth.

Of course, in the true sense, the myths of Huaxia were independent, but when connected, they could also be established, which coincided with the operating rules of this cultivation world.

At least it was possible to speculate about this world through the connected myths.

In the myths of Huaxia, Hongjun was the heavenly dao, and the Immortal List he provided was equivalent to his permission, allowing people to become immortals and deities.

Cultivation level was just personal strength. If not recognized by the heavenly dao, one would ultimately be just a strong individual, such as the Emperor Jun, Donghuang Taiyi, and Kunpeng of the Primordial Heavenly Court.

With this in mind, Qin Jun suddenly understood the meaning of immortals and deities.

"Because the Holy Court is too strong and disrupts the balance, it is not recognized by the heavenly dao. That's why immortals and deities come to overthrow the Holy Court, leading to the decline of the human race, and the successive rise of kingdoms and dynasties," old man Yi said helplessly, while Yuan Hong and Lei Zhenzi remained silent, clearly shaken by the ancient secrets revealed by old man Yi.

Qin Jun didn't think so. The myths of Huaxia were not weak. No matter how powerful the immortals and deities of this world were, if they dared to obstruct him in the future, he would still maintain a dominant posture!

"Enough, let's not talk about this. You have the bloodline of Ji Yongsheng, which is extraordinary. Take care of yourself in the future," old man Yi looked at Qin Jun with a meaningful expression.

Indeed, Ji Yongsheng was the Demon God of Extreme Flames!

Thinking of Ji Yongsheng's towering figure, Qin Jun couldn't help but feel excited. He now also possessed the bloodline of the Demon God of Extreme Flames. In the future, he had a good chance of reaching the heights of Ji Yongsheng. Coupled with the mythological system, he might even surpass Ji Yongsheng!

Although he had many powerful subordinates, Qin Jun also hoped to possess immense power that could shake heaven and earth.

For example, Emperor Jun and Donghuang Taiyi of the Primordial Heavenly Court, even the Demon Emperor, were the strongest among the demon race!

"Old man Yi, why don't you just become my subordinate? I am the emperor of the kingdom!" Qin Jun said nonchalantly, appearing casual but feeling nervous inside.

"Alright!" Old man Yi readily agreed, leaving Qin Jun wide-eyed.

"You agreed so easily?"

"Why not?"

"Do you have some ulterior motive?"

"Yes, I want to see your fate."

"What fate?" Qin Jun's expression was somewhat unnatural. Could it be that Ji Yongsheng really wanted to possess him?

Old man Yi shook his head and said, "I can't say, I can't say."

No matter how Qin Jun inquired, old man Yi refused to answer, leaving him frustrated.

While the four of them were chatting, they finally saw the outline of a city in the distance.

Here, the sky was no longer blood-red, but clear and boundless. The city looked as gloomy as Qin Jun had imagined, not much different from the righteous path.

They didn't enter through the city gate openly but sneaked into the city with the help of Lei Zhenzi.

In both the righteous path and the demonic path, Golden Immortal realm experts were rare and extraordinary. It was not easy to encounter a Golden Immortal realm expert in a city, and even encountering a True Immortal realm expert was very difficult.

"Let's find an inn to rest first and have something to eat."

Qin Jun smiled. Once reaching the Golden Core realm, he could sustain himself without eating, but he couldn't give up delicious food. Eating was a great pleasure in life.

Yuan Hong was a demon and also a glutton, and old man Yi was even more so. After being imprisoned for tens of thousands of years, he had already flown off to the street.

Lei Zhenzi smiled helplessly but didn't say anything. These days had indeed been thrilling, and it was okay to relax for a while.

The city of the demonic path was not much different from the righteous path. There were common people, and various shops on the streets were bustling with activity. However, if cultivators encountered conflicts, they would directly fight, and there were even cases of cultivators killing each other in public. However, Qin Jun learned that cultivators could only fight with other cultivators and were not allowed to oppress the common people.

Even in the demonic path, they understood the importance of the common people. Although the common people were weak, they were the main productive force. Even the powerful experts of major sects would enjoy services from ordinary people.

Nightfall soon arrived, and Qin Jun and the others were drinking in an inn. They sat by the window on the second floor, where they could see the colorful lights and bustling crowds on the street.

"A beautiful evening, just right for summoning," Qin Jun thought, while old man Yi was indulging in food and drink, earning disdainful glances from the cultivators at the neighboring table.

Originally, Qin Jun wanted him to change his clothes because old man Yi was too sloppy.

Unfortunately, this old fellow refused to budge, leaving Qin Jun helpless.

"Ding! Randomly summoning a deity..."

It would be best to summon a powerful expert who could suppress old man Yi and make sure he behaved!

Qin Jun thought so, although old man Yi said he was willing to serve him, Qin Jun couldn't trust him. People's hearts were inscrutable, and an old monster like old man Yi, who had lived for tens of thousands of years, couldn't be without schemes.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for summoning Shen Gongbao from the Investiture of the Gods!"

Not bad, but not a super strong character.

Qin Jun subconsciously thought, but the next second his eyes widened.

Oh my god!

Shen Gongbao!

With a bang, he slammed the wine cup on the table, startling the three old men.

Qin Jun ignored them, feeling a mix of emotions.

When it comes to the Investiture of the Gods, Shen Gongbao cannot be ignored. Without his ability to attract talented individuals from all over, the whole event wouldn't have been possible. His famous line "Fellow Daoist, please stay" has been passed down through the ages, and he has deceived disciples from various sects.

The key is that his character is not good, and he is easily jealous. For example, he was jealous of his senior brother Jiang Ziya, and to counter him, he supported the incompetent and tyrannical King Zhou.

Moreover, Shen Gongbao is ruthless in achieving his goals. Of course, for an emperor, having such a follower has its benefits.

"Shen Gongbao, Shen Gongbao... Should I cry or laugh at summoning you?"

Qin Jun helplessly thought, despite most TV dramas and movies portraying Shen Gongbao as irredeemable, he still has many strengths. At least he is exceptionally capable and has a good network of friends. Maybe he can help Qin Jun attract many strong individuals, after all, his skill in rhetoric is not bad. [End of this chapter]
