The Jade Emperor, Tathagata, and Guanyin looked at Qin Hao with expressions of terror.
"No, this is impossible. Could it be that you really broke through to the Martial Emperor 100th Tier?"
Guanyin looked at Qin Hao with a terrified expression and said...
Qin Hao smiled and said, "Excuse me, I'm not some Martial Emperor 100th Tier; I am Martial God who surpasses even Martial Emperor!"
"What? Martial God?"
Not only were the Jade Emperor and his entourage stunned, but everyone present, except for the Empress and Jiang Ling who had learned the Twelve Palaces Cultivation Method, was shocked.
Especially Taishang Laojun, who is, after all, Martial Emperor 100th Tier in this Kaiyuan Universe. To be honest, Taishang Laojun is capable of breaking through the boundary and freely traversing the Kaiyuan Universe or the Initial Universe.
Furthermore, if he so desires, he can open the Heavenly Gate to the Upper Realm at any time and travel to a more advanced universe.
"Young friend, you... you... you say you're Martial God?"
Even Taishang Laojun was stuttering; this was the first time he had ever been truly flustered since his debut.
The last time was when Sun Wukong wreaked Heavenly Palace, and he deliberately pretended to do it.
But this time, it's for real; the person before me is someone who surpasses me.
To put it simply, Taishang Laojun also cultivated qi, only it was called Hongmeng Purple Qi.
Qin Hao used this method of cultivation in the Sixth-Level Trial of the Nine-Layer Immortal Pagoda.
That is to comprehend the so-called power of the World Origin. Once you have thoroughly understood the Origin of this world, you can Creation at will, unlike Qin Hao's method which requires opening all Twelve Palaces.
This explains why Taishang Laojun was a top-tier alchemist and weapon-forging master, because he could create all the matter in the Kaiyuan Universe at will.
Moreover, once you comprehend the Origin of this world, you'll reach the Martial Emperor 100th Tier. It's that simple.
Taishang Laojun) had thoroughly comprehended the Universe Origin in the Kaiyuan Universe, which is why he was at the Martial Emperor 100th Tier.
This method of cultivation is far more difficult than the traditional cultivation methods of the Jade Emperor, Buddha, Tathagata.
The core concept boils down to one word. "Comprehension." The stronger one's comprehension, the faster one can cultivate.
However, it's also possible that you might never make any progress in your entire life; the risk is too great.
"How about it, Laojun? Why don't you become my disciple? I can help you break through to the Martial God, or even the higher True God!"
Qin Hao looked at Taishang Laojun and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Laojun pondered for a moment, then said, "Ahem, young friend, how can you convince me that you are Martial God?"
"Haha, it's okay, if you don't believe me, then forget it!"
As he spoke, Qin Hao turned around and looked at the Jade Emperor, Tathagata, and Guanyin.
The Jade Emperor appears to be a middle-aged man in his forties, but he is the strongest of the three.
Tathagata, that is, Shakyamuni, has a head full of bumps.
As for Guanyin, she was incredibly beautiful, in no way inferior to the Empress.
She has the looks and the figure, with curves in the right places and a slim figure in the right places.
That's right, she's a transvestite.
Because Guanyin was so beautiful, Qin Hao unknowingly used the vision ability of the Heroic Mystery Palace to see that this beautiful Guanyin was actually male.
"Holy crap, this beautiful Guanyin is actually a transvestite!"
Qin Hao made a sarcastic remark, then casually waved his hand, sending Guanyin flying with a single blow.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Tathagata looked at Qin Hao and asked with a look of horror.
The Jade Emperor, too, looked at Qin Hao with a terrified expression and said, "Senior Qin, please spare my life!"
Qin Hao looked at the Jade Emperor and Tathagata and smiled.
In this Kaiyuan Universe, most of the forces in the universe are under the control of the Lingxiao Hall.
The Lingxiao Hall is the Jade Emperor's power base, and this entire management system is known as the Heavenly Court.
Of course, there are also many forces that do not belong to the Heavenly Court.
For example, the Demon Beast Clan, the Asura Clan.
However, none of these forces are as powerful as the Heavenly Court.
It can be said that the highest leader of this Heavenly Court is the Great Heavenly Venerable, also known as the Jade Emperor.
But who could have imagined that the current Great Heavenly Venerable would actually call him senior and beg for mercy!
"I'll spare your lives since you're figures from mythology, but let me make this clear: the Empress is my woman. If you harm her, you're harming me, and that's courting death. Understand?"
"Understood. Please rest assured, Senior. From now on, my Lingxiao Hall, no, my entire Heavenly Court, will follow Jade Pool's lead."
"Hmm, not bad. Alright, now, get out of here!"
"Yes, yes!"
Thus, disregarding their own pride, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata fled desperately the moment Qin Hao released them.
They were genuinely afraid that Qin Hao would change his mind and kill them.
It must be understood that their cultivation to their current level was no easy feat; they had endured countless millennia and countless tribulations.
Therefore, they are extremely afraid of dying.
Meanwhile, the Empress was standing nearby.
"Empress Majesty, spare us! If you spare us, you can command the Guanghan Palace!"
Chang'e pleaded desperately for the Empress to spare her life.
"Hmph, I'll spare you. Your husband is dead; now it's your turn to join him."
With that, the Empress beheaded Chang'e with a single sword stroke.
Thus, the two palace masters of the Guanghan Palace, Chang'e and Hou Yi, were killed by the Empress.
As for the nine elders who betrayed the Jade Pool Holy Land, they had long since turned into clouds of blood mist.
"Wife, is everything settled?"
Qin Hao then approached the Empress and said with a smile.
"Hmph! Who said you're my wife!"
"Hey, hey, you lost our bet. Now that you've lost, you're my wife. Isn't that right?"
Qin Hao smiled, then wrapped his arm around the Empress's waist.
The Empress turned her face away shyly, unsure of what to say, for she had indeed lost.
As for Jiang Ling, she was sulking on the sidelines.
'Hmph! Scumbag, I spit on him!'
This left Taishang Laojun, quite embarrassed, so he said, "Young friend, you..."
Before he could finish speaking, Qin Hao immediately looked at Laojun and said with a smile, "Oh, right, didn't Laojun invite me to your place for tea? Let's go!"
Qin Hao then looked at the Empress and Jiang Ling and said, "Ahem, my two ladies, wait for me at home. I'm going to the Tusita Palace, and I'll make it up to you tonight! Be good!"
After saying this, he disappeared from the Rearrange Heaven and Earth with Taishang Laojun, and in an instant, they appeared in the Tusita Palace.
The Tusita Palace is Laojun's territory, but there are not many people there. There is only an Azure Bull as a mount, two fire- tending boys, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and the rest are just ordinary servants.
Moreover, the Tusita Palace is not on the Primordial Continent, but rather on a giant meteorite in the universe.
The entire meteorite was used to build the Tusita Palace, which is truly magnificent.
The strength of Golden Horn and Silver Horn is average, around the Martial Saint 3rd Tier.
However, this Azure Bull mount is quite extraordinary, its strength actually reaching the Martial Emperor 30th Order.
"Holy crap, one of his mounts is Tathagata as strong as Buddha! It turns out Laojun has been hiding his true power all along!"
Qin Hao withdrew the ability to see through the Heroic Mystery Palace's gaze and thought to himself.
At this moment, Taishang Laojun was standing nearby, was completely dumbfounded and hadn't even reacted yet.
As Martial Emperor 100th Tier, he still couldn't believe that Qin Hao had managed to bring him into his Tusita Palace without him even realizing it.
"Young friend, you..."
"What do you mean, 'you'? Are you trying to renege on your promise? You said you'd treat me to tea, was that just a joke?"
"Ahem, young friend, please come in!"
And so, Qin Hao followed Taishang Laojun into his Tusita Palace.
