Chapter 402: The Shock of the Holy See

Being stopped by the Ninth Spirit Saint, Qin Jun shivered all over and cursed under his breath, "Do you have to be so loud?"

Just as he was about to pull back, a surge of power suddenly emerged within him. With a bang, wisps of demonic energy overflowed from his palm and recklessly reached for the Yantian Stone. Under the astonished gazes of the Ninth Spirit Saint, Chang'e, Old Master Yi, and the clothed youth, the demonic energy poured into the Yantian Stone, crazily absorbing the spiritual energy within.

This...

Qin Jun was also dumbfounded. Since awakening the bloodline of the Extreme Flame Demon God, he had never been able to easily control the demonic energy within his body. Sometimes, he couldn't even bring it out, as if there was a little ancestor living inside him.

Unexpectedly, the demonic energy surged out again. He could feel the immense spiritual energy within the Yantian Stone being drawn by the demonic energy and pouring into his body.

"Demonic energy..." Chang'e frowned and murmured. She had never witnessed the battle scene of the Extreme Flame Demon God, so she didn't know that Qin Jun already possessed the bloodline of the demon god.

The Ninth Spirit Saint observed Qin Jun's demonic energy and was astonished to find that it was extremely pure, devoid of any bloody or murderous aura.

Most of the current demonic cultivators possessed only half-hearted demonic energy. True demonic energy didn't require killing to cultivate.

Today's demonic cultivators pursued rapid progress and abandoned principles, making it their preferred method.

"This demonic energy... it's exactly the same as that person..."

Old Master Yi thought complexly. He couldn't help but recall a distant past when he was just a young man with dreams of cultivating immortality. However, due to his lack of talent, he had never succeeded.

Until one day, he stumbled upon a statue in a cave behind the village. When he decided to destroy the statue in frustration, a remnant soul within the statue awakened.

"Bold child!"

The scolding from that day still echoed in his mind, and his face was filled with nostalgia.

That was the turning point in his life. Even though he had been suppressed for thousands of years and forgotten many things, he had never forgotten that day. The remnant soul imparted cultivation techniques to him and helped him embark on the path of cultivation. However, he cultivated the path of the demon. When his cultivation reached a certain level, the remnant soul dissipated, leaving him with some tasks and revealing a name.

Ji Yongsheng!

The name of the remnant soul and the statue was Ji Yongsheng!

Ji Yongsheng was like a master to Old Master Yi. He had instructed him to assist the successor of Ji Yongsheng's legacy. That was why he had deliberately attracted the ancient soul to test Qin Jun. If Qin Jun wasn't the successor of Ji Yongsheng, he would have left immediately. However, he didn't expect that Qin Jun could even condense Ji Yongsheng's demonic body. After that, he truly regarded Qin Jun as his own.

Unfortunately, Qin Jun harbored resentment and never showed him a good face, but he wasn't in a hurry.

There's still time in the future!

Every time he thought of Ji Yongsheng, his heart couldn't help but surge. He had also entered Ji Yongsheng's memory illusion with Qin Jun and witnessed Ji Yongsheng's fierce battles against countless immortals. The person he admired most in his life was Ji Yongsheng. Even though he had become the Demon Emperor, he still felt that he was not even one-thousandth as great as Ji Yongsheng.

Seeing the demonic energy emanating from Qin Jun, he immediately associated it with Ji Yongsheng, completely identical, but far less powerful than Ji Yongsheng.

"Why did you choose him?"

Old Master Yi looked at Qin Jun with complex emotions, feeling bitter. However, when he thought of his own past as a talentless boy in the village, he felt relieved. At least, when he was Qin Jun's age, he was still working in the fields, unlike Qin Jun, who was already making waves in the southern region.

It was better not to compare, but once compared, it was simply too heartbreaking.

At the same time, the Yantian Stone was being crazily absorbed by Qin Jun. He quickly adapted to this feeling of violently absorbing spiritual energy. He glanced at the Ninth Spirit Saint and said, "Let's continue forward!"

If he continued to absorb like this, he might be able to break through the Ninth Layer of the Void Transformation Realm and then step into the Earthly Immortal Realm.

Thinking about that, Qin Jun felt elated.

Fortune has come, and nothing can stop it.

"Such a violent manipulation of natural phenomena, sigh!"

The Ninth Spirit Saint controlled the demonic wind to fly while sighing.

If such a large piece of Yantian Stone were used for refining, it would definitely create a high-grade treasure. However, he also noticed that Qin Jun seemed to be in an uncontrollable state, so he could only lament.

Chang'e curiously looked at Qin Jun. The sight of Qin Jun surrounded by demonic energy gave her a palpitation.

"What exactly is hidden in his body..." Chang'e wondered.

At the same time, news of the defeat of the Divine General Palace by a mysterious powerhouse spread like wildfire within the Holy Dynasty.

First, causing a commotion in the Floating City, then forcibly seizing the Yantian Stone, completely disregarding the laws and the Holy Emperor, for a while, the Ninth Spirit Saint became famous.

In a very short time, most people in the Holy Dynasty knew that there was a peerless lion demon rampaging within the Holy Dynasty.

What was the goal of this lion demon?

Soon, some people suspected that this lion demon was none other than the Ninth Spirit Saint, who had recently pledged allegiance to the Emperor Qin, because many people had seen a handsome young man standing behind the lion demon. For a while, the news of the Emperor Qin's arrival in the Holy Dynasty became increasingly intense.

...

The Holy Sect.

The Holy Sect was established by the current Holy Empress and was strongly supported by the Holy Emperor, giving it the appearance of being the number one sect in the Holy Dynasty and even in the southern region.

At this moment, Zhu Yanqing was practicing swordsmanship at the edge of the cliff, with countless floating islands circling the Holy Peak, varying in size. Only the Holy Emperor, Holy Empress, and the current Sect Master could set foot on the top of the Holy Peak.

The higher one went, the higher the status of the disciples who lived there, and they were not allowed to cross ranks.

Wishing Yanqing a red dress like blood, the setting sun in the west, the afterglow falling on her, like a red butterfly wielding a sword in the courtyard.

She has actually broken through the mortal realm in just a few months, although compared to Qin Jun, who is close to the peak of the virtual realm, her breakthrough speed seems much slower.

At this moment, a young man in white clothes stepped on a sword, with the setting sun at his back, a sword coming from the west, graceful and charming, complemented by the faint smile on his face.

Swoosh—

The young man in white clothes landed in the sky above the small Fei Island where Yanqing was practicing swordsmanship. He smiled at Yanqing, who was focused on her training, and said, "Junior Sister Zhu, the spiritual infusion is about to begin, why work so hard?"

Yanqing didn't even look at him, and replied indifferently, "What's the point of the spiritual infusion? Cultivation still needs to be taken step by step."

With a flick of her long sword, the sword flowers sparkled and dazzled.

The young man in white clothes was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Junior Sister Zhu, the Holy City is about to hold a talent banquet, why not attend with me?"

"Not interested!"

Yanqing's indifference didn't bother the young man in white clothes. If she were easy to pursue, he probably wouldn't have set his sights on her.

Hmph!

After you undergo the spiritual infusion, let's see how you continue to put on airs. Only I, Sun Lin, am your perfect match!

The young man in white clothes cursed in his heart, then changed the subject and said in a deep voice, "Junior Sister Zhu, it seems that the Divine Palace has encountered some unexpected events today."

At these words, Yanqing's body suddenly stiffened. [End of this chapter]
