Having reached dual sword-martial Huang, Jun Changxiao needed extremely vast amounts of energy to advance grades. The Experience Talismans rewarded by missions couldn’t achieve one grade advancement per crushed talisman.
“Sigh.”
Sect Master Jun shook his head and crushed the second Experience Talisman, finally successfully breaking through to second grade.
Snap!
Snap!
The other two were also crushed, and his realm advanced from second grade to third grade.
Four Experience Talismans only raised him two grade levels—Jun Changxiao was extremely dejected.
The system said: “Normal Huang-level experts take decades or more for each grade advancement. Host should be content.”
“True enough.”
Although cultivation was harder to advance than before.
But he still had the system, still had various missions. As long as he was rewarded with more Experience Talismans, it really wasn’t a big deal.
Thinking this way, Sect Master Jun immediately felt refreshed, then examined his dantian internally.
After breaking through to Huang level, although the two crystal cores were smaller than before, the spiritual energy contained was extremely vast.
Especially—there was an additional attribute like clouds and mist appearing from nowhere.
This was the energy needed for flight.
Any martial artist who broke through to Huang level would condense this, thereby possessing the ability to master flight.
To be precise.
Having this energy allowed one to break free from heaven and earth’s constraints, thereby flying freely through the firmament like a bird.
Thus it was called Sky-Controlling Power.
As levels increased, Sky-Controlling Power would become even more formidable, with speed greatly improving as well.
Jun Changxiao wasn’t eager to test flight, after all, he’d possessed Armed Battle Wings before and had already experienced the pleasure of flying ahead of others.
What he cared more about now was the various formulas the system rewarded!
Swish!
He merged into his space ring.
All the mission-rewarded formulas lay quietly there.
With a thought, they automatically matched.
Many completely new weapons and equipment were born in the Casting Pavilion. Jun Changxiao casually clicked on the True Yang Sword, and the required crafting materials immediately appeared in a list.
This sword’s materials didn’t differ much from the Cold Gleam Sword.
Moreover.
One could be crafted!
The Procurement Hall members had been actively procuring. As long as ores existed outside, most would be purchased, so storage quantities were very abundant.
This was the benefit of preparing for rainy days.
Otherwise, even with high-grade weapon formulas, wanting to craft them would still require painstaking effort to search for ores.
“Ding!”
Jun Changxiao clicked on crafting.
Then he looked at the Cloud-Piercing Saber, Profound Iron Shield, and other equipment. Unfortunately, certain ores were lacking and crafting couldn’t proceed.
“After returning, I still need to have Procurement Hall speed up procurement.”
The system’s high and mid-grade weapons were definitely stronger than Xingyun Continent’s. Jun Changxiao naturally hoped to mass produce them and equip disciples to enhance hard power.
He opened the Pill Pavilion.
High-grade Spirit Gathering Pills went without saying—they were definitely very suitable for cultivation.
What Jun Changxiao cared most about was the Initial-grade Soul Forging Pill: “This thing differs from the Body Forging Pill by only one character. Could it have soul-forging effects?”
“Smart.” the system said.
Jun Changxiao said: “This must also be mass-produced, letting disciples all have one each.”
The Body Forging Pill’s effects went without saying. The Soul Forging Pill definitely had miraculous effects as well.
Within the space ring was another fist-sized stone with fluorescent light swirling around it, appearing very strange.
Jun Changxiao said: “What is this thing?”
“Insurmountable Blade Modification Soul Stone.” the system said.
Jun Changxiao said with surprise: “It can modify the Insurmountable Blade?”
“Correct.”
“How do I use it?”
“Merge your soul into it.”
Jun Changxiao released his soul power, permeating outward!
The instant it touched the stone, it seemed to be melted by high temperature, transforming into a stream of viscous liquid.
The system said: “Quickly merge it with the Insurmountable Blade.”
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao brought out the Insurmountable Blade, then controlled the melted liquid to merge with it.
“Gurgle!”
“Gurgle!”
The liquid completely enveloped the entire blade, then bubbled.
This blade given by Shouyuan had been a divine weapon in lower-level realms, but after Jun Changxiao broke through to Wang level, it seemed inadequate.
Especially facing half-step Wusheng, it completely lost all value, so he’d thrown it into the cold palace without any thought of using it again.
As levels got higher and higher.
Many martial techniques and equipment were destined to be discarded or replaced by completely new ones.
For example, the martial techniques purchased before—only “My Slash” remained useful. Techniques like Explosive Fist could no longer meet the needs of Zong-level and higher disciples.
“Hopefully this modification can let the Insurmountable Blade have a rebirth.” Jun Changxiao murmured.
Although he had Armed Wings and Holy Flame Body, he still felt insufficiently safe. If this blade could become powerful again, it would undoubtedly be more reassuring.
…
Half an hour later.
The Insurmountable Blade had completely absorbed that strange liquid and floated quietly before Jun Changxiao.
Although from the space ring’s perspective, the blade’s size and specifications were all normal, as for its power, one could only know by drawing it out.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao raised his hand and grasped the blade handle.
Although not yet unsheathed, it let him sense an even more weighty aura, so he concluded: “Old partner, after modification, your power should be even stronger.”
“Buzz!”
The Insurmountable Blade trembled slightly, as if responding to its master.
“Come on!”
Jun Changxiao emerged from the space ring and raised his hand: “Let me see your evolved form!”
Swish—
Space trembled.
The grandly imposing Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched violently.
Because the Insurmountable Blade that appeared in his hand was even smaller than before the modification—it could completely be described as an “embroidery needle”!
Was this even a blade.
Or was it the Ruyi Jingu Bang!
Never mind.
Jun Changxiao waved his hand and pinched the Unsealing Talisman between two fingers.
Snap!
He crushed it.
His two fingers quickly clamped onto the blade handle that was smaller than small, but no matter how he pulled, he couldn’t draw it out.
“Don’t waste your effort.”
The system said: “The modified Insurmountable Blade requires a completely new Unsealing Talisman to be unsealed.”
Gah.
Jun Changxiao stood in place.
After a long while, his mouth twitching, he said: “You mean, before modification I could still use it, but after modification I actually can’t use it?”
“Correct.” the system said.
“Can you come out from my consciousness sea? I want to beat you up!”
“I want to beat you up too, but I can’t get out.”
“You come out!”
“You come in!”
Host and system began their daily bickering mode again.
…
The Insurmountable Blade had been modified.
As for its power, without a completely new Unsealing Talisman, there was temporarily no way to know.
However.
Jun Changxiao could also speculate.
This kind of modification was nothing more than enhanced power. That suppressive nature would also increase. By then, it would definitely be able to restrain Huang level, half-step Wusheng, and even Wusheng!
As long as he obtained the completely new Unsealing Talisman, he could recklessly court death throughout Xingyun Continent!
“Satisfying, super satisfying!”
Jun Changxiao walked out of the isolation formation with an elated expression.
He’d looked at all the reward items. Next, on the journey returning to the sect, he would spend all the overflowing contribution points.
Twenty thousand more—beautiful!
“The Sect Master’s aura seems to be much stronger than before!”
When Jun Changxiao walked out from within the formation, the Wangu Sect F4 and the Extreme Cold Palace Supreme Elder and others all noticed that the aura he unintentionally emitted was more profound than before!
He went in as Wang level, came out as Huang level—of course it had to be more profound!
