Chapter 579: Invitation from the Western Regions

"Dear ministers, during my absence, I thank you all for taking care of the Great Qin Heavenly Court."

As the Qin ruler landed, he spoke softly, and as he spoke, he helped Daji, Zhu Yanqing, and You Fenghuang to their feet. Then he looked at Wang Xue, who was no longer as shy as before, able to meet the Qin ruler's gaze directly. It seemed that her experiences in the endless territories had changed her a lot.

"Your Majesty, there's no need for thanks."

The crowd laughed, but at the same time, they were somewhat shocked. They had only been away for a few months, and the Qin ruler's entire aura was completely different. Those with exceptional cultivation carefully observed and found that the Qin ruler had actually broken through to the sixth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

In just a few months?

How did the Qin ruler go from the first level of the Earth Immortal Realm to the sixth level of the Heavenly Immortal Realm?

For a moment, many people were taken aback, finding it hard to imagine how the Qin ruler had achieved this. Some even suspected that someone had taken his place, although they dared not voice this suspicion.

Jokingly, it would be suicidal to question the ruler's identity right after his return.

"Alright, let's continue our conversation inside the hall!"

The Qin ruler waved his hand and smiled, and the crowd automatically parted to make way for him. Daji, Zhu Yanqing, You Fenghuang, and Wang Xue followed closely behind, followed by Yang Jian and others. Although they did not have official positions, they had played a significant role in protecting the Qin ruler's return.

Looking at Daji and the other three women in front of him, Liu Ruolai felt a little downcast.

At this moment, the Qin ruler seemed like a star in the sky, unattainable. Comparing this to his women, Liu Ruolai couldn't help but feel a sense of self-reproach.

"No need to be nervous."

A voice suddenly entered her ears. She instinctively turned to look and saw Zhu Bajie next to her, winking at her, which made her smile involuntarily.

Counting, apart from the Qin ruler, Zhu Bajie had been with her the longest in the team, one day longer than Yang Jian. Zhu Bajie treated her very respectfully, like a younger sister, and often made her laugh for no reason. So, apart from the Qin ruler, she had the best relationship with Zhu Bajie.

Seeing Zhu Bajie's comical expression, her nervousness disappeared somewhat, and she encouraged herself in her heart.

Soon, the group of people walked into the main hall in a grand manner.

The Qin ruler sat directly in the highest position on the dragon throne, with Daji sitting on the phoenix throne below. As for Zhu Yanqing and You Fenghuang, they stood on both sides, and Wang Xue stood beside Wang Yan.

Looking at the civil and military officials on both sides, the Qin ruler's heart surged. Now, his subordinates were all outstanding individuals and strategists.

"Bo Wen, report on the recent situation in the Great Qin Heavenly Court."

The Qin ruler lay lazily on the dragon throne and smiled. Unlike other emperors who sat upright, he liked to be casual. As the founding emperor, without seniority, the officials dared not speak too much.

"Yes!"

Liu Bowen walked to the front and began to report on every major event that had occurred since the Qin ruler's departure, as well as every plan of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

The Qin ruler listened attentively, as did Yang Jian and others, as they were about to become generals and needed to understand the actual situation of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

After the Bull Demon King was defeated by the Nine Spirits Yuan Sheng, he quickly fled from the Southern Territories. The demon race in the Southern Territories could not stop the human army's advance, and in a short time, the entire Southern Territories would be completely under the control of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

Every day, there were reports of battles spreading to every corner of the Southern Territories, and countless people were praising the achievements of the Holy Emperor.

The Destiny Pavilion even bestowed upon the Qin ruler the title of the Eternal Emperor.

For eternity, the peerless Holy Emperor!

The imperial dynasties and kingdoms had been completely controlled by the Heavenly Court, and the Southern Territories' heavenly world was now considered a fairyland by the mortal realm.

During the Qin ruler's absence, the Southern Territories had been relatively peaceful.

"By the way, Your Majesty, envoys from the Western Territories came and expressed their desire to invite Your Majesty to visit the Western Territories to enhance the relationship between the two regions," Liu Bowen suddenly remembered and hurriedly said.

The Western Territories...

The Qin ruler suddenly had a headache. The Western Territories were now completely abnormal, standing next to the Southern Territories, making him very uncomfortable.

He would not pay attention to them! The officials looked at each other, and Tang Sanzang took a deep breath. He had already offended the Western Territories in the Qin ruler's words, and after all, the Western Buddha was his master, so he couldn't help but feel a ripple in his heart.

Then the Qin ruler asked some more questions. It took a whole hour before the court was dismissed.

Before the court was dismissed, he ordered, "Summon Longhuan Luo Han and Fa Hai, I want to see them!"

Liu Bowen was a little stunned. It was understandable that the Arhat Luo Han was still around, but he had almost forgotten about Fa Hai. Nowadays, Fa Hai had become the abbot of the Yehua Temple, which was considered a major temple in the southern region, as there were not many temples in the southern region.

It was easy to understand the presence of the Arhat Luo Han, as he was at the peak of the Golden Immortal realm. But Liu Bowen couldn't understand why Qin Jun would seek out Fa Hai.

Suddenly, he thought of a legend. Could it be that Qin Jun could make people stronger? Was he trying to promote his former capable subordinates?

Not only him, but many people in the main hall also thought of this. For a while, civil and military officials whispered to each other, while Qin Jun got up and left, with Daji following closely behind.

With Liu Bowen taking care of Yang Jian and the others, he didn't need to worry about them.

Now that Liu Bowen was the chief minister of internal affairs and the head of the civil officials, Zhuge Liang had to take a step back. With the addition of Jiang Ziya, the three of them working together would undoubtedly elevate the power of the Great Qin Heavenly Court.

...

Back in the newly built Holy Emperor's Palace, Qin Jun embraced Daji and led her to the bed. The curtains surrounded them, creating a more mysterious atmosphere between the two.

"Your Majesty..."

Daji's eyes were seductive, her words sweet, and the love in her eyes seemed to melt Qin Jun.

Qin Jun leaned in to taste her lips lightly, then chuckled softly, "Daji, do you miss me?"

"Of course, after Your Majesty left, I couldn't think of anything else. I was afraid that Your Majesty would be in danger." Daji held onto Qin Jun's neck and smiled charmingly. Her fair and beautiful face reflected a radiant glow under the light of the oil lamp, as if it contained countless charming and misty eyes, which ignited a fire in Qin Jun's lower abdomen.

Without further ado, Qin Jun couldn't restrain himself and leaned in.

The intimate moments continued until dusk fell and night descended, as if the countless stars in the sky witnessed the embarrassing entanglement in the hall.

As the moon set and the sun rose, it wasn't until the early hours of the next day that the two finally stopped.

Daji lazily lay in Qin Jun's arms, drawing small circles on his chest with her right hand.

"With 22 billion reputation points, how many Instant Enlightenment Pills can be exchanged?"

Qin Jun was checking the Mythical Mall. The population of the Eastern Flame Domain far exceeded that of the Southern Region. After thousands of years and generations, Qin Jun's reputation points had surpassed 22 billion, which was simply exhilarating.

The value of an Instant Enlightenment Pill was only 500 million, which could directly break through the Golden Immortal realm, but there would be no further progress in the future. However, for the vast majority of people, the Golden Immortal realm was an unattainable level, such as for Fa Hai.

So, Qin Jun wanted to enhance Fa Hai and at the same time have the Arhat Luo Han gather some loyal monks to form a team of Golden Immortal monks.
