74 -74: The Bravery of the Great Ancestor

“Someone help Young Master Zhuo down!”

Old Zhang hastily called out, and four attendants swiftly approached to carry Zhuo Junjie away.

Having been hit by Qin Jun with all his might using the Silver Dragon Soul-Sealing Spear, even if Zhuo didn’t die, he would be left disabled.

However, in this world, magic is highly advanced; no matter how serious the injury, as long as the body’s functions haven’t been completely destroyed, they can be healed.

Chang Qianqian ran up to support Qin Jun, causing those from the Xuanling Sect to not only worry about Zhuo Junjie but also to lament that a woman’s heart truly belongs to the one she marries!

Their hearts were convinced by the competition they had witnessed.

Although Qin Jun’s fighting style was too brutal, he couldn’t have defeated Zhuo Junjie without using his full strength, so the disciples of Xuanling Sect bore no resentment against him, instead they admired him greatly.

Once Zhuo Junjie was carried away for treatment, nobody else dared to challenge Qin Jun.

Had he been an ordinary cultivator, it wouldn’t have mattered, but as King Yue, seeking to take advantage of him now would certainly invoke the royal family’s wrath.

Moreover, by defeating Zhuo Junjie, Qin Jun had proven himself!

“After today, King Yue’s fame will soar even higher!” freeweɓnøvel.com

“Indeed, from now on, the number one talent will no longer be Zhuo Junjie!”

“I like King Yue’s fighting style, it’s so savage!”

“I’m actually quite curious about the magic that King Yue just used.”

The cultivators discussed animatedly, but at this moment, the way they looked at King Yue had completely changed.

Previously, they had only admiration for his recent achievements, but now his own strength had been proven, leaving them without anything left to say.

“Alright, everyone, please feel free to continue.

I’m afraid I can no longer fight—Brother Zhuo is too strong.

Now, I can only be a spectator,” Qin Jun said with a wry smile as he was supported by Chang Qianqian.

The cultivators all responded with good-hearted laughter.

Soon after, the other cultivators couldn’t contain their enthusiasm and stepped forward one by one to challenge each other.

Qin Jun found a place to sit, with Chang Qianqian excitedly babbling non-stop, chirping like a little bird.

Nan Yuxin and Daji also came over, both of them staring at Qin Jun with unusual gazes.

“Can you be quiet for a while?

I’m really tired!” Qin Jun pleaded helplessly with Chang Qianqian, who immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.

Nan Yuxin remained silent, but in her heart, Qin Jun’s image had been completely overturned by his recent performance.

Daji said meaningfully, “Young Master is truly a man of great fortune, to have mastered such magic.”

Even Daji, who was from the Transforming Void Realm, did not know the Art of Size Transformation—and yet she had heard elders from her clan talk about this sort of transformative magic.

The most powerful was believed to be the Divine Power of Conformity to Heaven and Earth, which is said to go beyond the scope of ordinary magic, reaching the realm of Divine Power!

Little did she know, the Art of Size Transformation shares the same essence as Conformity to Heaven and Earth—with power scaling with size changes.

However, Qin Jun’s spiritual power was too weak; he could only grow to ten feet tall at most, which was far from the standard required for Conformity to Heaven and Earth.

The “Journey to the West” had a passage that read: “Delighted with his playful antics, he leaped onto the bridge and strode out of the cave.

Holding the treasure aloft, he utilized the Divine Power of Conformity to Heaven and Earth.

Bending his waist, he called out, ‘Grow!’ and he grew to ten thousand zhang tall, his head as large as Mount Tai, his waist like a sheer ridge, eyes flashing like lightning, his mouth a vast bloody basin, teeth sharp as swords and halberds.

The cudgel in his hand reached up to the Thirty-Three Heavens above and down to the Eighteen Levels of Hell below, terrifying tigers, leopards, wolves, insects, all kinds of creatures, and the demon kings of the seventy-two caves so much that they all prostrated themselves in worship, trembling and with souls scattered.

In a flicker, he retracted his magical form and turned the treasure back into an embroidery needle, hiding it in his ear, before returning to his stronghold.

This caused such a panic among the demon kings of all the caves that they came to pay their respects.”

Here, ‘he’ refers to Sun Wukong returning from his studies and asserting his might over Flower and Fruit Mountain.

Being ten thousand zhang tall demonstrates just how powerful the Great Sage Sun was, of course.

There are also many others in “Journey to the West” who were more powerful than he was.

For example, Gonggong, who in his anger collided with Mount Buzhou—there’s no need to elaborate on how tall Mount Buzhou is, considering it connected the heaven and earth of that primordial age!

As Qin Jun’s mind was wandering, Chang Qianqian shook him, snapping him back to reality.

“What’s wrong?” Qin Jun asked, looking puzzled.

“What was that magic you used just now?” Chang Qianqian asked irritably.

Nan Yuxin and Daji also looked at him curiously, but he just smiled mysteriously and said, “It’s a secret!”

“Tch!”

All three women rolled their eyes in unison, but since Qin Jun was unwilling to talk, they felt it wasn’t polite to pry further.

The banquet continued, and those cultivators who hadn’t fought began discussing Qin Jun.

Even Lu Xuanfeng came over with a cup of wine to congratulate him.

Time swiftly went by, and by the time the feast ended, Qin Jun was completely drunk.

Exhausted, he was helped into his room by maidservants, and he fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

And news of his victory over Zhuo Junjie spread like wildfire, reaching the entire capital city overnight and beginning to spread throughout the country by the following day.

The young myth within the Kingdom was defeated by the only prince who had been made a King!

Zhuo Junjie was over thirty years old, while Qin Jun was only sixteen—the gap in talent was as clear as day!

…

The next morning, at the court of Qianyue Kingdom’s royal palace.

“Hahaha!

Worthy of being my son, truly magnifying the imperial family’s might!” the Qian Emperor said with a broad smile, as the court officials around him hastened to deliver flattering congratulations.

Even the Grand Tutor Jia Xun did the same, only the national hero Nan Meng had a gloomy look on his face.

His eyes occasionally glancing at a green-clothed general standing behind him—it was none other than Guan Yu.”Your Majesty, it’s currently the talk of the town that King Yue has the courage of Emperor Taizu!” Shen Yan said with a chuckle, and although eunuchs generally had no say in court affairs, he was an exception, being a favorite of the Qian Emperor.

No one dared to object.

“The courage of Emperor Taizu?

Haha, that’s a wonderful rumor!” The Qian Emperor was even more delighted.

The founding Emperor Taizu of Qianyue Kingdom was known for his unbeatable strength.

In times of war, he was always at the forefront—much like the historical figure Xiang Yu from Earth’s Huaxia.

Decades ago, the strongest in Qianyue Kingdom was indeed Emperor Taizu!

After laughing for a while, the Qian Emperor finally turned his gaze downwards, eventually fixing it on Guan Yu.

“Guan Yu has been made a third-rank general; with Yuguan City lacking a commander, let General Guan take up the post.

The hundred thousand soldiers of Yuguan City shall be under General Guan’s command!”

Boom!

The court was in an uproar, with Guan Yu moving from an obscure soldier to commanding a hundred thousand troops overnight—a rise unprecedented in speed!

“Your Majesty!

That’s Yuguan City and a hundred thousand soldiers!” Nan Meng was the first to jump out with an objection.

“Oh?

General Guan has made great contributions in the confrontation between two nations.

Does Nan Aiqing wish to overlook his merit?” the Qian Emperor asked with a teasing smile.

“Hmph!”

Guan Yu snorted coldly, his Transforming Void Realm aura nearly causing everyone in the court to kneel, skillfully stopping it just short of the Qian Emperor as a way of displaying might while still showing respect.

Nan Meng felt as if his chest had been struck by a hammer, his blood roiling, and he was terrified to speak up again.

The rest of the officials and generals inwardly marveled; it was their first time seeing anyone suppress Nan Meng in court, and in such a domineering way!

“That’s settled, then!

Tomorrow, General Guan will set out for Yuguan City,” the Qian Emperor decreed definitively, and everyone shouted in unison, “Your Majesty is wise!”
