Jun Changxiao had no interest in understanding why there was an Emperors’ War ten thousand years ago. In his view, having already obtained the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower’s benefits and inherited constitutions with his disciples, they should happily leave.

Moreover.

The entire continent was still waiting for him to clear it!

Right, right!

His main purpose for coming to challenge the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower was to improve his ranking on the Struggle for Supremacy List.

This time bringing disciples to clear it without injuries while breaking multiple records would definitely improve their ranking significantly.

Obtaining ten constitutions, improving sect ranking.

Jun Changxiao immediately felt his life had reached heights, reached its peak.

“Sect Master.”

Shangguan Xinyao said: “Formation Emperor senior should have important matters to tell us. Otherwise he wouldn’t have left a trace of remnant soul sealed in the tower.”

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao stopped: “For my precious disciple’s sake, this master gives you a few minutes. Hurry and say everything you need to say.”

“Young man.”

The Formation Emperor’s remnant consciousness within the formation said: “The cause of the Emperors’ War ten thousand years ago stemmed from Xingyun Continent being invaded by foreign races from other planes!”

“Invaded by foreign races?” Jun Changxiao said in surprise.

Formation Emperor said: “They were a special existence without physical form who could control martial artists’ souls, thereby doing things that brought disaster to all living beings.”

“The powerful experts Great Wilderness Martial Emperor and Spirit Absolute Martial Emperor killed—were they controlled by foreign races?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Correct.” Formation Emperor said.

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and the others’ expressions changed slightly.

In the previous scenes, they hadn’t noticed anything different about the killed Martial Emperors.

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

This kind of planar invasion plot—wasn’t it too clichéd!

“Get to the point.”

Jun Changxiao said: “For example, what are our responsibilities?”

Formation Emperor said: “Though Great Wilderness Martial Emperor and others sacrificed themselves to defeat the invading foreign race, their ambitions won’t dissipate. They will inevitably return in the future. You all must shoulder the responsibility of protecting Xingyun Continent.”

“My apologies.”

Jun Changxiao said: “The responsibility of saving all living beings and maintaining world peace—better leave it to others.”

Suddenly someone tells you to protect the entire continent.

It was like going out to buy soy sauce and meeting an old charlatan who says you’re the great hero who will save the world—equally absurd.

“Young man.”

Formation Emperor’s tone turned grave: “You’ve already inherited the constitution legacies left by the emperors. You must devote yourselves wholeheartedly to Xingyun Continent.”

“Sorry, not interested.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Let’s go, let’s go.”

Everyone followed, about to walk out of the tower via the stairway.

Formation Emperor hurriedly said: “Young man, if you protect Xingyun Continent, naturally there will be benefits!”

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao returned to his previous position: “The continent’s survival is every man’s responsibility!”

“…”

The disciples’ mouths twitched.

Mentioning benefits, the sect master’s return speed almost matched a Martial Saint’s instant transfer!

Formation Emperor also didn’t expect one sentence about benefits would make this fellow immediately change face, so he continued: “These foreign races from other planes can be called Soul Clan. They have no physical form, existing as soul forms. As long as they occupy human bodies, they inherit full cultivation and martial skills. Even their behavior is indistinguishable from the original master.”

Jun Changxiao asked curiously: “How did you discover them?”

Formation Emperor said: “These foreign races have a special means to devour energy within any living creature’s body, continuously strengthening themselves!”

Jun Changxiao said: “Be specific.”

Formation Emperor said: “Every blade of grass and flower in the Star Domain Continent contains varying amounts of energy nurtured by heaven and earth. Soul Clan can extract and claim them for their own use through devouring power.”

“This is just for plants. If they absorb from high-Realm martial artists, strength improvement is even faster.”

“If we let them act wantonly, the final result would be the entire Xingyun Continent’s spiritual energy completely drained, degenerating into a wasteland.”

“Quite frightening.” Jun Changxiao said.

Formation Emperor said: “Soul Clan releases green attributes when absorbing energy. We later discovered this. Through careful investigation, we learned these foreign races from other planes are like locusts—arriving at a plane to frantically devour energy until completely destroying it before leaving.”

“How many Soul Clan invaded Xingyun Continent ten thousand years ago?”

“Nine.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

Nine foreign races triggered the Emperors’ War.

In the end, the entire continent was shattered and scattered—this was too exaggerated!

Not having experienced that era, he didn’t know that the nine Soul Clan occupying Martial Emperor bodies had been dormant early on, continuously absorbing energy. By the time they were discovered, Xingyun Continent’s strong couldn’t defeat them at all. In the end, they could only embrace mutual destruction determination to erase them.

Like the previous scene.

Don’t think Great Wilderness Martial Emperor’s sacrifice of Great Wilderness Heaven and Earth to suppress two body-occupying foreign races was easy.

In fact, the complete picture showed more Martial Emperors had already engaged them in multiple wheel battles, resulting in deaths and injuries.

Seeing prolonged attacks failing and companions dead or wounded, Great Wilderness Martial Emperor steeled his heart, sacrificed Great Wilderness Heaven and Earth, and perished together with two foreign race experts.

Formation Emperor said: “Soul Clan’s intent to destroy our Xingyun Continent never dies. One day they will return. This old one hopes you all can inherit your ancestors’ constitutions and will, fighting them to the bitter end!”

“Senior.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Let’s put these matters aside first and discuss what benefits there are.”

Formation Emperor: “…”

I spoke so tragically—doesn’t he feel anything at all?

“There are benefits.”

Formation Emperor said: “But it depends on your future performance.”

“Damn.”

Jun Changxiao immediately turned hostile: “Feels like there are no benefits—you’re deliberately scamming me!”

“Young man.”

Formation Emperor roared: “In your eyes, are there only benefits, no common people?!”

“When the world is prosperous, all come for profit. When the world is chaotic, all go for profit.” Jun Changxiao said. “Only beneficial matters can move people’s hearts. Otherwise, truly no interest.”

“You…”

“If there are no real benefits, this master is leaving.”

“Young man, when the nest is overturned, no egg remains intact. When foreign races invade and the entire world is destroyed, do you think you can still survive?!”

Formation Emperor roared angrily.

Jun Changxiao stopped, stroking his chin: “Makes sense!”

Formation Emperor said: “Inheriting constitutions isn’t just about saving all living beings—it’s also saving yourselves!”

Jun Changxiao said: “Are you certain Soul Clan will invade Xingyun Continent again?”

Formation Emperor said with certainty: “As long as Xingyun Continent still has spiritual energy, they won’t give up devouring it.”

“Is there a specific invasion timeline?” Jun Changxiao said.

Formation Emperor was silent briefly: “Perhaps it will take a long time, perhaps they’ve already arrived at Xingyun Continent, occupied human bodies, and are slowly growing.”

“Where is Soul Clan’s home base?” Jun Changxiao asked.

Formation Emperor said: “Why do you ask this?”

Jun Changxiao shrugged: “To invade them and nip the danger in the bud early.”

Invade… them?
