Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen ventured into the Divine Mountain, but they were not there for small gains.

If it had been for ordinary treasures, they certainly would not have come here.

Since they chose to enter Mount Olympus, the residence of all Gods, they surely had bigger plans.

Initially, they didn't set their sights on the Golden Apple.

Because it was a treasure from the backyard of God King Zeus and Heavenly Empress Hera, not something one could simply wish for and obtain.

They not only arranged for three goddesses to guard it but also placed a hundred-headed giant dragon, similar to a watchdog; these powerful beings were not easy to deal with.

Even if Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen could defeat them, it wouldn't be possible to fight them without causing a stir. If any noise leaked out, other divine beings would discover them. How would they then seize the Golden Apple?

But once they truly saw the Golden Apple, they immediately cast all other thoughts aside.

Initially, the two mingled on the Divine Mountain merely hoping to find an opportunity to wander into the palaces of the Main Gods or other top level divine beings and see if they could come across some advantages.

Not to mention the Twelve Main Gods, just those top-level divine beings alone were formidable existences comparable to immortals.

There surely must be many valuable items in those top-level divine beings' palaces. Even things that these beings might not deem worthy could potentially be extremely valuable treasures for ordinary divine beings, let alone for cultivators like Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen who hadn't yet succeeded in Immortal Dao!

However, once they truly entered Mount Olympus, they immediately changed their original plan and shifted their focus to the Golden Apple.

This was because one of them was beautiful and the other was young and handsome, both in terms of appearance and strength, they were exceptional among the demigods.

Thus, they were fortunate to be assigned to the Divine Palace where God King Zeus and Heavenly Empress Hera resided, guarding the palace along with some other demigods.

At first, they were somewhat terrified, originally thinking that mere demigods would not draw much attention from the gods and that they would not have the chance to be near such Main Gods, but unexpectedly, they were assigned here.

Heavenly Empress Hera, being one of the Twelve Main Gods, assisting Zeus in managing all things on earth and ruling over all divine beings, not only possessed strong divine power but also likely had sharp eyes that could see through all things.

If Hera saw through their disguise and the strength they hid, in front of such Main Gods, they would have no chance of resistance.

Fortunately, they later found out it was only a false alarm. The palace where Zeus and Hera resided was immensely huge, filled with many guards and maids, and they never got close enough to Hera. Pleasing the Heavenly Empress was something many others eagerly did, and as newcomers, they weren't qualified yet.

Thus, the two were sent to patrol the palace, which was relatively a tough job.

Of course, this so-called hardship was only relative to some other much easier tasks.

They were demigods after all, and patrolling was not much of a task for them, and if they didn't wish to, they could even switch to another position.

However, the two did not complain at all; instead, they used the opportunity to patrol to survey the Divine Palace several times, often spotting many things that tempted them.

Even the flowers, plants, and trees beside the road could be some rare exotic spiritual wood or grass, a stone placed in the garden could be a rare miraculous stone with magical effects, or could be used as precious material for crafting divine artifacts or immortal treasures.

This made them itch every time they patrolled, wishing they could uproot all the vegetation and carry away all the stones lying on the ground!

Unfortunately, they just thought about it and quickly suppressed their greed, not acting rashly.

These were merely items casually placed around the palace as decorations, and although very precious to them, they were nothing compared to the real treasures.

They didn't want to lose big by grabbing small gains, opting to not settle for these 'ordinary' treasures but aim for something bigger.

And the bigger benefit they eyed was the Golden Apple!

Being a plant treasured and heavily guarded by God King Zeus and Heavenly Empress Hera in the backyard, and specially guarded by three goddesses and a ferocious hundred-headed giant dragon, the preciousness of the Golden Apple could only be imagined.

Especially when the two saw the Golden Apple tree from a distance while patrolling, they instantly put all other treasures out of their minds, focusing solely on how to seize the Golden Apple.

Because the allure of the Golden Apple to them was indeed too great.

Especially for Li Miaozhen, when she saw the Golden Apple, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

Even her long-troubled Daoist Heart calmed down temporarily, leaving only thoughts of how to strategize and capture the apple.

The Golden Apple, true to its name, was resplendent in golden brilliance, dazzling to the eye!

But what truly fascinated Li Miaozhen about the apple was the rich and pure Golden Qi on it, distinct from the Gold Element Principle of Biluo.

She cultivated the pure Geng Metal Dao and followed the combat method of decisive execution; her keen intuition told her in the instant she saw the Golden Apple that refining just one could possibly lead her directly to Immortal Dao.

Even so, one could advance a significant step further on the path to becoming an immortal!

For the Golden Apple not only contained abundant Gold Element Spiritual Energy, but the power of its laws was also quite unique. Even top-level divine beings who consumed it would experience an increase in both their laws and power, which is why the Golden Apple was so famous among all gods.

Even those in the Immortal Realm would benefit, and one could only imagine the advantages Li Miao Zhen would gain if she refined it.

Although Qin Feng was not solely focused on the Geng Metal Principle like Li Miao Zhen, his Lifebound Divine Ability, Ruyi Golden Light, was of gold, and the Geng Metal Principle was also one of his main cultivation paths. If he were to refine the Golden Apple, it would also bring him endless benefits!

Therefore, the two who originally planned to make a quick profit decided to stay on the Divine Mountain.

They intended to find an opportunity to slowly plot for the Golden Apple!

With the war at the front becoming increasingly fierce, the presence of the Ghost City, major powers from various sects of the Northern Domain, and an army of millions of cultivators battling in all directions, it was impossible for God King Zeus and the gods to determine the outcome of the battle with the cultivators in a short period of time.

In fact, there was an eight or nine out of ten chance that they would not win but lose!

After all, the hidden mastermind controlling the battle situation behind the numerous cultivators was the Ghost Ancestor Cang Yang!

With the Ghost Ancestor secretly in charge, how could they possibly lose?

If the battle situation became unfavorable, Ghost Ancestor would certainly not stand idly by!

Since the war would not end shortly, and Zeus along with the gods would not return, Qin Feng and his companion felt safe and boldly settled down on Mount Olympus. Under the guise of patrolling, they wandered through the various palace complexes day after day, familiarizing themselves with the environment, clarifying the number of people and the defensive strength in the palace, and simply avoiding the area where Heavenly Empress Hera resided.

In their free time, they even roamed around the Divine Mountain under the pretext of making friends with other gods, and in the process, they plotted several escape routes.

Of course, these activities took time, otherwise how could they gain a clear understanding of which deities were present on the Divine Mountain and which areas were forbidden?

For this, they spent about half a year to tentatively finalize their action plan.

…

That day, the Holy Fire Goddess Hestia invited Heavenly Empress Hera to a banquet.

When Hera left the palace in a luxurious chariot drawn by golden Heavenly Horses, from the distant bushes emerged Qin Feng and Li Miao Zhen.

The two watched as the luxurious chariot quickly disappeared into the horizon, exchanged a glance, and immediately made a decision.

Hera rarely left the palace, typically inviting other divine beings to visit her instead, as few gods dared invite her out due to their inability to match her power and status.

But the Holy Fire Goddess Hestia was different—her divine power was immense, being the foremost of the renowned three virgin goddesses and also the sister of God King Zeus, her position was more than enough to invite Hera.

"Let's go!" Li Miao Zhen pulled Qin Feng, "No time for delay, we act today!"

Her Daoist Heart was unstable from impatience, and now that Hera was finally out, she couldn't contain her restlessness any longer.

Qin Feng nodded in agreement. He also feared further delays might cause his senior sister to lose control over her Daoist Heart, which could complicate things, so he directly followed Li Miao Zhen towards the back garden.

Though called a back garden, it was actually incredibly vast.

As the supreme rulers of the highest realm, the residence of God King Zeus and Heavenly Empress Hera was unsurprisingly large; in fact, their Divine Palace occupied the largest peak of Mount Olympus, which explained the garden's enormous size.

Since Qin Feng and his companion were tasked with patrolling and visited the garden almost daily, the guards and gardeners were very familiar with them and saw nothing strange or surprising about their presence, allowing them free access!

The two chatted and laughed along the way, greeting other guards and gardeners as usual, appearing as they always did on the surface.

But as soon as they moved deeper into the garden away from others, their demeanor became serious.

Soon after, Qin Feng waved his hand and retrieved a large jar of fine wine from his Storage Magical Treasure.

Mount Olympus lacked for nothing, and as demigods, it wasn't a problem for Qin Feng and his company to obtain some fine wine. However, acquiring wine personally brewed by the Wine God Dionysus was far from easy.

Qin Feng had also put great effort into this, finally taking advantage of a banquet hosted by Heavenly Empress Hera to take an extra jar from the wine storehouse under her name.

The wine brewed by the Dionysus was considered the best in the higher world, and the one he held had an intoxicating effect.

The Hundred-Headed Giant Dragon guarding the Golden Apple never slept; it was said that the legendary Giant God Atlas had once made the dragon fall into a deep slumber using some method. Qin Feng planned to replicate this by using the wine, which could induce sleep, to seduce that formidable creature.

Of course, that alone would not be sufficient; since it was a Hundred-Headed Giant Dragon, massive in size, a single jar of wine might not be enough to intoxicate it, so Qin Feng added some extra ingredients.
