Time slowly passed. After the hour ended, Epic Mission Five entered statistics settlement status.

After waiting several minutes, nothing happened.

Jun Changxiao couldn’t help but ask: “Why aren’t you giving the rewards yet?”

“Don’t rush.”

The system said: “In settlement status.”

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao continued waiting. After another 10 minutes, still nothing happened, and he began to grow restless.

Half a year of effort and struggle, maximizing mission requirements as much as possible, all waiting for the rewards—yet it remained silent for so long. What difference was this from those damn cliffhanger authors!

One day when the blade is in hand, I’ll wildly slash through Martial World’s Nineteenth Street.

“Ding!”

Just as Sect Master Jun’s urgency had nearly set his rear on fire, a crisp notification sound came like music from beyond the heavens, stirring the deepest layers of his soul.

It came, it came!

My—rewards!

Jun Changxiao stood up and planted one foot on the roof ridge, striking a pose.

“Ding! Host’s sect disciples’ realms have met requirements and conform to defining conditions. Epic mission completed, completion rate 200%, host receives 20,000 contribution points!”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 22,991/20,000.”

“Ding! Contribution points overflowing…”

20,000 contribution points as reward!

Awesome!

Super awesome!

Stay calm, stay calm!

This was just the beginning. With such a high completion rate, the rewards would definitely be abundant!

“Supreme-Grade Aptitude Transformation Liquid, Sword Formation Transformation Liquid, High-Grade Sect Master Orbs, Experience Talismans—medicine, medicine! Check it out! Give me several sets of everything!”

Jun Changxiao improvised a rap, shaking his head and waving his hands, dancing exuberantly, very Skr!

“Ding! Detecting host has Epic Mission Six active. Epic Mission Five rewards will be distributed together with Epic Mission Six rewards after completion.”

“Medi…”

Sect Master Jun’s body stiffened, his hands frozen in the gesture for ‘six.’

What the hell was unified distribution!

The system delivered the finishing blow: “Meaning after the host completes Epic Six, the two mission rewards will be distributed together.”

“Thud!”

Jun Changxiao directly tumbled down from the main hall.

“Oh no!”

“The Sect Master fell down!”

“Quick! Quick! Carry him to the medicine hall for emergency treatment!”

……

Epic Mission Five completed, completion rate 200%, rewarding 20,000 contribution points—this was extremely high. But the rewards that should have come were being held back, leaving Jun Changxiao wanting to cry without tears.

What was even more devastating.

They had to be distributed together with Epic Six!

To get the deserved rewards, he’d have to wait at least another year!

“What a trap!”

Jun Changxiao weakly complained, could only silently open the shop and spend the excess contribution points.

With about 22,000 contribution points in hand, Liang Jingru gave him courage to dare directly click on the High-Grade Shop.

Although Sect Master Jun was now peak Sword-Martial Dual Wuwang, compared to half-step Wusheng, he was still far, far behind. He had to make himself possess even stronger capital as much as possible.

Relying on advancing major realms could only narrow the gap between them, not achieve parity. So goods in the High-Grade Shop played the decisive factor.

Continue buying Qiankun Talismans?

Impossible.

After all, they were just one-time consumables. The power they brought was only temporary. If buying, buy things that brought permanent enhancement.

For instance, the product named ‘Sacred Flame Physique’ in the first row.

Previously seeing the price of 10,000 contribution points, Sect Master Jun was so scared he hurriedly withdrew, not daring to continue looking. Now he clicked on the details without hesitation.

Item: Sacred Flame Physique.

Description: The strongest fire-attribute physique crowning the mortal realm.

Effect: User can sculpt the Sacred Flame Physique in a very short time and control three Divine-Grade fire seeds and ten Sacred-Grade fire seeds.

Advantages: After achieving the Sacred Flame Physique, comprehending fire element techniques will achieve twice the result with half the effort. When executing fire element martial techniques, power intensity will also amplify by 50%.

Disadvantages: None.

Price: 10,000 contribution points.

“The strongest fire-attribute physique crowning the mortal realm?”

“Once sculpted, can even control three Divine-Grade fire seeds and ten Sacred-Grade fire seeds!”

Jun Changxiao’s gaze burned intensely: “Very powerful!”

Calm down, calm down.

There were still many good things. Don’t rush to buy yet.

Sect Master Jun suppressed his burning impatience and browsed other products again.

For instance, the Nine Revolution Marrow Cleansing Pill was even more formidable.

After taking it, not only could it instantly elevate spiritual roots to Divine Grade, it could also reshape flesh and meridians—truly marrow cleansing and bone forging in the genuine sense!

“This is a true celestial pill and miraculous medicine!”

“After a waste takes it, they can immediately undergo a magnificent reversal like a protagonist!”

Jun Changxiao exclaimed in admiration.

Afterward, he also looked at the Dragon Elephant Wisdom Palm.

The description said that after cultivating to completion, one could temper strength into Dragon Elephant Force. When executing it, one could even gather Dragon Elephant Dharma Manifestations—belonging to an extremely terrifying palm technique!

Jun Changxiao began fantasizing that after mastering it, when raising his hand he would gather the force of thousands of dragons and elephants. His opponent’s reaction would definitely be—counting exactly how many there were!

Of course.

The High-Grade Shop also had some things without much use.

For instance, the Five Elements Yin-Yang Formula, because its function was similar to the Five Elements Heaven-Surveying Formula, so it had no purchase value.

After browsing for a while, Jun Changxiao decided to choose between the Sacred Flame Physique and Nine Revolution Marrow Cleansing Pill. After all, both items were genuine aptitude transformations, beneficial for long-term development afterward.

“I’m already at Sacred-Grade spiritual roots now, only one step away from Divine Grade. My flesh and meridians have also been tempered to the extreme. Buying the Nine Revolution Marrow Cleansing Pill seems a bit wasteful.”

So…

“Ding! Host has spent 10,000 contribution points, obtained Sacred Flame Physique×1, delivered to spatial ring.”

“Ding! Sect contribution points: 12,991/20,000.”

A cluster of flame appeared in the spatial ring, suspended in mid-air emanating scorching momentum.

This was the Sacred Flame Physique.

Jun Changxiao stood before it in soul form, gently raised his hand, his finger lightly touching the flame—he didn’t feel any burning sensation.

Whoosh—

Just then, the Sacred Flame Physique suddenly divided, forming wisp after wisp of flame that spiraled up his arm, then merged into his mouth and nose.

In an instant.

Surges of scorching, violent flames erupted within his body, causing Jun Changxiao’s expression to immediately turn ferocious.

“Ahh!”

Screams rang out.

“What’s happening?”

“That’s the Sect Master’s voice!”

“Something’s wrong!”

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others rushed into the main hall at top speed, their eyes widening one after another.

At this moment, Jun Changxiao had fallen from his chair, painfully clutching his head while half-crouching on the ground. His exposed skin had become like red-hot iron!

“Sect Master!”

The disciples cried out in alarm.

Elder Zhen walked in, frowning: “Evil fire entering the body?”

Elder Wei arrived afterward. Seeing Jun Changxiao’s entire body flushed red, in extreme pain, he said gravely: “If eldest disciple were here, with her ice element attribute, she should be able to suppress the evil fire in the Sect Master’s body.”

Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji were about to step forward.

“Don’t go.”

Elder Wei hastily blocked them: “The evil fire’s might is terrifyingly abnormal. If you get close, you’ll be burned!”

“Then what do we do!”

“Why not contact eldest senior sister!”

“She’s still in northeastern Luzhou. There’s no way she can make it in time!”

The disciples immediately descended into chaos like a pot of porridge.

Elder Wei, experienced in many battles, calmly said: “Quickly summon all disciples who cultivate water element!”

“Yes!”

Before long, several hundred disciples who had comprehended water element through the Five Elements Heaven-Surveying Formula came to the main hall, all bursting forth with water element power, forming surging waves that swept toward the Sect Master.

Hiss hiss hiss—

However, the water element spiritual energy, when approaching within ten feet, was instantly evaporated, unable to penetrate inside at all, much less cool Jun Changxiao down.

Elder Wei frowned: “What kind of powerful evil fire is this!”

“Elder Wei!”

Li Qingyang said extremely anxiously: “What should we do!”

“Whoosh—”

Just then, a fire-light shot out from outside, standing before Jun Changxiao. It was none other than Little Dragon-Dragon who had been sleeping all along!

“Master.”

It quickly transformed into human form and rushed over: “I’ll save you!”
