"The Heavenly Marshal is an independent deity, and the host needs to summon separately," the system replied, leaving Qin Jun feeling disappointed.
Boring!
I wonder if the system can surprise the host?
Low emotional intelligence!
Qin Jun couldn't help but mock. He had to change the subject and said, "Retrieve the information about the Tianhe Navy."
I hope they are not weaker than the previously summoned 100,000 heavenly soldiers.
Soon, the attributes of the Tianhe Navy appeared before Qin Jun:
"Tianhe Navy, from mythological legends!"
"Number of members: 100,000!"
"Cultivation: Virtualization Realm levels one to five!"
"Divine abilities: Cloud Crossing Technique! Crossing the Tianhe River!"
"Legion attributes: Heavenly Court's divine might! Guardian of the river!"
Awesome!
Equivalent to 100,000 strong virtualization realm experts!
Qin Jun was immediately excited. He noticed that the Tianhe Navy was not from Journey to the West, but from mythological legends.
"By the way, isn't the Tianhe Navy supposed to have only 80,000 members?" Qin Jun asked in confusion.
"The Tianhe Navy here is not the same as the one in Journey to the West. Besides its portrayal in Journey to the West, the Heavenly Marshal is also one of the Four Saints of the North Pole in Taoism. Therefore, it exists in a similar manner. The host should not habitually consider it in the context of a specific mythological world," the system explained, leaving Qin Jun puzzled.
I didn't expect the Heavenly Marshal to have this identity.
Never mind!
As long as the Tianhe Navy is strong!
With that, Qin Jun's first deity and demon legion would no longer be the Jiuli Demon Army, but the Tianhe Navy.
However, compared to the heavenly and earthly armies of the Holy City, there was still a significant gap.
Fully mastering the heavenly and earthly armies would not be achieved overnight. It would require civil and military officials to persuade and conquer.
After leaving the Holy Palace, Qin Jun saw Yi, the old man, and Sha Wujing chatting below the steps.
Sensing Qin Jun's presence, the two turned to look at him, and they were both stunned. Then they exchanged a glance, each able to see the surprise in the other's eyes.
He broke through so quickly?
A monster!
Before breaking through, Qin Jun's spiritual power was restless. Even if he forcibly suppressed it, it would still leak out. After breaking through, the spiritual power emanating from Qin Jun gave a very calm feeling. Although it was not as exaggerated as returning to the original state, it still made a significant difference in the eyes of those with advanced cultivation.
"Your Majesty's talent is truly enviable," Sha Wujing exclaimed. Although it is said that man can conquer nature, talent really can determine the fate of most people, just like some people can never break through the foundational stage in their lifetime.
Although Sha Wujing had broken through to the Golden Immortal stage, he found it as difficult to advance further as a mortal ascending to the heavens.
Yi, the old man, also looked at Qin Jun with a complex expression. Qin Jun waved his hand and said with a smile, "When will the people from Great Qin arrive?"
"Shen Gongbao has already sent people to various teleportation points to welcome them. I can already sense their presence. They are expected to arrive at the Holy City in an hour," Sha Wujing said with a smile.
The divine sense of a Golden Immortal stage expert can extend to a very far distance, as long as the other party does not conceal their aura.
Qin Jun nodded and began to contemplate.
There were seven days left before the Heavenly Observation Conference.
Time was running out, and he didn't know if he could break through to the Earthly Immortal stage before then.
"Start preparing for me. I will be in seclusion tomorrow to break through to the Earthly Immortal stage!" Qin Jun declared firmly.
"Yes!"
The two replied in unison. Since becoming loyal to Qin Jun, Yi, the old man, had become more respectful towards him, although he still maintained a playful demeanor most of the time.
Time passed quickly.
After an hour, a group of people flew into the various city gates of the Holy City, many of them exuding extremely powerful auras.
"Haha! Is this the Holy City? It's really different from below!" Red Boy exclaimed excitedly. As a true immortal at the eighth level, he didn't suppress his own aura at all.
Li Yuanba was equally excited, constantly shouting, embarrassing the accompanying Jinpeng Army, who didn't recognize him.
The Jinpeng Army were all Li Yuanba's adopted sons and daughters. Although there were only a little over a hundred of them, their cultivation levels were all above the Virtualization Realm, and some even reached the Earthly Immortal stage. They would be properly arranged in various departments and prefectures of the Holy Dynasty.
Nezha and King Huangfeng were the fastest, and in the blink of an eye, they arrived at the top of the Holy Emperor Peak, where they met Qin Jun, who was overlooking the Holy City from the cliff.
"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"
The god and the demon shouted excitedly, and Qin Jun smiled as he helped them up.
Qin Jun pointed to the bustling and magnificent Holy City below and said, "From now on, the entire human race in the Southern Domain will be my territory. You must protect it well for me!"
Even with Yi, the old man, and Jiuling Yuansheng supporting him, Nezha and King Huangfeng, as Golden Immortal stage powerhouses, were still considered top experts under Qin Jun's command. Yi, the old man, a freak at the Golden Immortal stage, could not be included in this category, so Qin Jun still valued Nezha and King Huangfeng highly.
"We will definitely go through fire and water for Your Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, rest assured!"
King Huangfeng and Nezha said in unison. Soon, the Dragon-Subduing Arhat, Yuan Hong, Giant Spirit God, Golden Horn, Silver Horn, Red Boy, Li Yuanba, Tai Bai Jin Xing, Eight Immortals, Liu Bowen, Zhuge Liang, Duan Xiu, Bai Qi, Li Cunxiao, and Zhao Yun all flew up. As for the other deities and demons, they each guarded their own territories and could not leave temporarily.
Among them, Liu Bowen and Zhuge Liang were being held in the hands of the Giant Spirit God.
"Pay respects to Your Majesty!"
They all said in unison. Qin Jun noticed that a vast army was flying towards the Holy Emperor Peak, including the Heavenly Guards and the Jiuli Demon Army.
The entire Holy City was in a frenzy.
"My goodness! The cultivation levels of these soldiers are so high!"
"So many true immortal stage powerhouses!"
"It's terrifying. Is this the power of Emperor Qin? No wonder he was able to capture the Holy Emperor!"
"It seems that the Holy Dynasty is really going to be renamed the Qin Dynasty!"
"This is not a bad idea. It's about time for a change in dynasty!"
The people were discussing fervently. Many had long been dissatisfied with the Holy Emperor, and with more and more forces turning against him and siding with the Qin Emperor, the tide had turned. There were few who still angrily cursed the Qin Emperor.
The rapid change of heart among the people of the Holy City surprised many of the already submissive forces and families, leaving them both astonished and sorrowful.
The Holy Dynasty had long been decadent!
It was a case of the fish rotting from the head down. Faced with the Demon Lord Ping Tian, the Holy Emperor dared not make a move, leaving everyone below in danger. If it weren't for the intervention of the Qin Emperor, the human race in the southern region would have likely been swallowed up by the demon race.
On the other side, the Qin Emperor summoned all the officials and generals to the court hall.
The Qin Emperor, dressed in the supreme dragon robe, sat high on the throne that originally belonged to the Holy Emperor. Everyone knelt and bowed in unison:
"Long live the Qin Emperor! Long live the Emperor for ten thousand years!"
Looking around, there were not a thousand, but several hundred people.
In addition to the officials and generals of Great Qin, most of the civil and military officials of the Holy City were also present. The Qin Emperor did not execute them all, as it was a time when capable individuals were needed.
Even the holy officials were there, because of their repentance, the Qin Emperor spared them, although they were no longer holy officials.
"From today, the Holy Dynasty will change its name."
The Qin Emperor leaned on his knees, scanning the crowd with a faint smile. His voice reached every ear, causing a commotion in the court.
The third update! What will the new name be?
