The Strongest Mythical Emperor-Chapter 24 - Lost

24: Chapter 24: Lost

24 -24: Lost

Boom!

Boom!

Boom…

Heavenly thunders struck the Sect-protecting Array one after another, their roars sending chills down the spines of all the disciples.

In front of the rolling thunderclouds, the Xuanling Sect seemed insignificant.

Chang Tianyou’s face was grim as he looked at the Tianwei.

He turned to an elder next to him and asked, “Which of our sect’s disciples is crossing the tribulation?”

To the sect, a Golden Elixir Realm powerhouse was like a weapon of mass destruction.

Adding another Golden Elixir Realm expert would further elevate the Xuanling Sect’s status.

“Unclear, we can’t sense it at all.

But I’ve already ordered our disciples to go and inquire,” the elder shook his head and said.

The Xuanling Sect’s mountains were numerous; if someone wanted to hide, it would be very difficult to find them unless they searched based on the direction of spiritual energy flow.

However, at this moment, Qin Jun was in the midst of inheriting a cultivation method.

His Energy Refining Mnemonic was suppressed, therefore, it did not automatically absorb spiritual energy.

Moreover, the heavenly tribulation was blocked by the Sect-protecting Array, so no one associated such a tribulation with Qin Jun, a minor Foundation Establishment fifth-level cultivator.

“It must be either Senior Sister Zhong or Senior Brother Zhuo.

How wonderful, our Xuanling Sect is about to gain another Golden Elixir Realm powerhouse,” Chang Qianqian clapped and laughed with joy.

Chang Hao, standing next to her, looked up at the rolling thunderclouds in the night sky, his eyes filled with a hint of envy.

Although his talent was exceptional, he still wasn’t on par with Senior Sister Zhong or Zhuo Junjie.

The expectation Chang Tianyou had for him was to break through to the Golden Elixir Realm before he turned fifty, which was a lot of pressure on him.

Meanwhile, in front of a wooden hut halfway up another mountain peak, a black-clad man stood in the garden looking up at the heavenly tribulation.

His features were stern, and faint stubble around his mouth added to his masculine charm.

He was Zhuo Junjie, the number one talent of the Xuanling Sect.

At thirty-four years old, his cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, but he was just one step away from the threshold of the Golden Elixir Realm.

“Zhong Ling, I didn’t expect to still lose to you,” Zhuo Junjie said with a wry smile at the corner of his mouth.

Elsewhere, next to a small river, a white-clad woman was meditating on a large stone under the moonlight, which cast a glow on her delicate face filled with shock and disappointment.

She was Zhong Ling, the top female talent among the Xuanling Sect’s disciples.

Both her age and strength were close to Zhuo Junjie’s, and they regarded each other as rivals.

For the twenty-plus years since they had joined the Xuanling Sect, they had far outstripped their fellow disciples, with only each other to seriously contend against.

“Zhuo Junjie, this time you’ve truly defeated me…” Zhong Ling muttered bitterly to herself.

Both geniuses thought that the other was the cause of the heavenly tribulation that came with breaking through to the Golden Elixir Realm.

Not only them, but the rest of the disciples thought the same.

But the culprit, Qin Jun, was still immersed in the inheritance of the Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique.

“Tsk tsk, no wonder the Young Master came to the Xuanling Sect,” Roaring Sky Dog remarked in amazement as he watched the heavenly tribulation.

The spiritual stones consumed by the Xuanling Sect to operate the Sect-protecting Array was an enormous amount; if Chang Tianyou knew the truth, he would surely want to kill Qin Jun.

What are spiritual stones?

Spiritual stones are concentrations of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and act as the universal currency among cultivators.

Not only can spiritual stones be used for cultivation, but they can also power arrays.

The power of the heavenly tribulation was immense.

To block it, the consumed spiritual stones were incalculable, but for the birth of a Golden Elixir Realm powerhouse, Chang Tianyou felt it was worth it!

“I wonder if the Xuanling Sect will cause trouble for the Young Master?” Daji said, smirking.

Ever since she met Qin Jun, she had witnessed his rapid progress with her own eyes—an astonishing rate.

Now that he had understood a Divine Power, such a master was bound to cause great waves in the world one day.

Roaring Sky Dog lay on the ground and snorted, “This little sect’s strongest is only at the Ascending Mortal Realm, and they only have one.

Should they dare to overstep their bounds, I’ll annihilate their whole sect!”

As a Demon King, Roaring Sky Dog’s temper was only mild towards Qin Jun.

…

After who knows how long, Qin Jun’s consciousness slowly awakened.

Opening his eyes, a faint glimmer of lightning swirled in his pupils.

He exhaled deeply, his face brimming with satisfaction.

“Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique” truly deserved its status as a superior, heaven-grade cultivation method.

Among all the attributes, lightning boasted the greatest destructive power.

The technique was divided into six levels, each one accompanied by its own spell.

The spell of the first level was none other than Thunder Palm.

Just as the name implies, one could condense lightning in the palm and strike down enemies with tremendous lethality.

With every breakthrough in the level of heart technique, the speed of energy absorption would double.

Merely reaching the first level was already equivalent to twenty times the energy absorption speed of the “Energy Refining Mnemonic”!

“System, let’s see what my attributes are now!”

Fighting back the surge of excitement in his heart, Qin Jun spoke.

As soon as he finished, a semi-transparent attribute template appeared before him:

“Host: Qin Jun!”

“Race: Human!”

“Level: Foundation Establishment Realm Fifth Level (4210/5000 experience points)!”

“Bloodline: None!”

“Divine Power: 36 Heavenly Transformations!”

“Cultivation Methods: Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique (Superior, Heaven-Grade)!

Energy Refining Mnemonic (Ordinary, Medium-Grade)!”

“Summoned God and Demon: Daji!

Roaring Sky Dog!”

He was so close to leveling up again, especially once he saw the Divine Power section, he couldn’t help but crack a smile.

Having learned the 36 Heavenly Transformations, he was akin to a half-baked immortal—soaring through the clouds, transmuting stone into gold, and altering his body size were all effortless for him.

He could even defy fate, though this was comparably as ineffective as Zhuge Liang’s attempt to prolong life with a lamp—successful attempts were rare, rendering it somewhat useless.

The 36 Heavenly Transformations were numerous and difficult for ordinary people to master even in a lifetime, but with the Mythology System, Qin Jun had achieved complete understanding instantly.

However, execution was difficult, as using more than two Divine Powers in short succession would leave him utterly exhausted.

Moreover, due to his low realm and insufficient spiritual power, many of the greater Divine Powers were beyond his capability to perform.

Nevertheless, he was already quite content with what he had.

Thinking about the Earthly Fiend 72 Transformations further ignited his passion.

The 72 Transformations didn’t simply represent seventy-two different forms but rather the versatility of transformations.

In “Journey to the West,” the impression Monkey Brother’s transformations left on readers was merely that of shape-shifting, yet most overlooked the fact that Monkey Brother could use this ability without demons or gods detecting him—a truly awe-inspiring feat!

He didn’t believe that demons or gods were foolish; rather, it must be that Monkey Brother’s transformations could change not only his appearance but his aura as well!

However, the 72 Transformations were too far out of reach for now, and whether he could draw them in the future remained a question mark.

Having pondered this, Qin Jun did not get up.

Instead, he continued to sit cross-legged and practiced energy refining according to the “Purple Rainbow Thunder Technique”.

With the skill inheritance, he had already mastered the first level of heart technique, while the following five were firmly imprinted in his memory—breaking through was just a matter of time.

Outside, in the courtyard, Daji and Roaring Sky Dog continued to stand guard for half an hour before they too returned to their rooms to rest.

The night was destined to be restless for many.

Once the tribulation clouds had dissipated, Chang Tianyou, brimming with excitement, instructed the elders to summon Zhuo Junjie and Zhong Ling to the Conference Hall.

Someone’s breakthrough to the Golden Elixir Realm was a significant boost for the Xuanling Sect, no matter who it was!

Zhuo Junjie and Zhong Ling soon arrived in the grand hall, and Chang Qianqian, filled with excitement, approached them, asking, “Senior Brother, Senior Sister, which of you has broken through to the Golden Elixir Realm?”

Chang Hao looked on with a dejected face, while Chang Tianyou’s face was lit with excitement; the rest of the managing elders also looked at Zhuo Junjie and Zhong Ling with hopeful eyes.
