On the road to the Starry Sky Fortress, Jun Changxiao worked hard to play the role of a full-time nanny, not only taking care of the two children’s daily needs but also teaching them how to be human.
“It’s over.”
The system said: “Disciples whose values were already formed can be led astray by the host. These two children who just gained spiritual intelligence will probably be led flying.”
“Little Fire, Little Evil.”
One day, Jun Changxiao called the two little ones over again, his tone meaningful: “Remember, in a world where martial prowess is supreme, you can’t do bad things, but you also can’t let others bully you.”
Since they ultimately had human forms, Dog Sheng gave the two spirits names—one called Little Fire, one called Little Evil, corresponding to their attributes, utterly lacking in technique.
“Understood, Daddy!”
Little Fire and Little Evil nodded heavily.
Jun Changxiao rubbed both little ones’ heads and said: “Go play with your big brother Youhen.”
“Mm!”
Little Fire and Little Evil ran out.
Before long, Shang Youhen’s screams came from the deck. He was being tossed back and forth like a ball by the two spirits.
Seeing his sons playing so happily, Jun Changxiao’s face showed a fatherly smile.
However.
He soon became worried.
He still had to manage a sect and couldn’t always be a full-time nanny—how would he raise them to adulthood?
“Daddy!”
Just then, Fire Spirit ran over, yawning repeatedly: “I’m tired from playing, I want to sleep.”
“…”
You have to ask me to sleep!
Jun Changxiao collapsed: “Then go sleep!”
“Swoosh——”
Suddenly, Fire Spirit transformed into a red light, instantly merging into his body, becoming a fingernail-sized lotus shape residing in his dantian.
Jun Changxiao was astonished.
Turns out this little thing could return to his body!
“Daddy!”
Evil Spirit ran over, rubbing eyes that could barely stay open: “I’m tired too, I want to sleep!”
“Swoosh!”
After speaking, it merged into Jun Changxiao’s dantian, residing in petal form near Fire Spirit.
After the two spirit bodies entered, Dog Sheng instantly gained two supreme attributes. First raising his right hand, flames that purified all evil in the world appeared. Then raising his left hand, evil energy that corroded all things appeared.
“Awesome!”
“Hahaha!”
Many days of worries swept away, Jun Changxiao laughed heartily.
The system exclaimed: “First there was husband-wife combo attack, then brother abuse, now father-son soldiers in battle!”
…
Suddenly gaining two spirit body sons made Jun Changxiao very worried. But they could re-enter his dantian and even provide him with two powerful attributes, making him suddenly feel life was extremely beautiful.
Right hand for fire.
Left hand for evil.
Who in this world can compete with me!
“Hahaha!”
Jun Changxiao raised his head and laughed again.
Don’t blame him for being cocky.
In the mortal universe, it was extremely rare for a martial artist to master one spirit body. Dog Sheng directly mastered two—absolutely unprecedented and unparalleled.
Especially the evil spirit purified by the Fire Soul Spirit wouldn’t suffer backlash and could be freely controlled for righteous purposes.
Attributes, like weapons, aren’t divided into good and evil—it depends on the user.
“I feel so strong now!”
“I can’t wait to go wreak havoc at the Starry Sky Fortress!”
Jun Changxiao clenched his fists, his gaze burning intensely.
With two sons in his dantian providing support, he burst with unprecedented confidence!
“Host should first look at the Sect Master Exclusive Divine Weapon Transformation Stone and Experience Talismans.” the system reminded.
Jun Changxiao said: “Almost forgot about the rewards!”
Wait!
The overflowed contribution points!
Jun Changxiao hurriedly pulled up the system data panel and found the value was exactly one hundred thousand, then clutched his head and screamed: “My 18,990 contribution points!”
Because of Fire Spirit and Evil Spirit’s appearance, Dog Sheng had neglected the branch mission rewards, so the overflowed contribution points had long been deducted.
“Host can consider it as spending twenty thousand to buy two spirit bodies.” the system consoled.
“…”
Jun Changxiao painfully merged into the spatial ring and took out the Experience Talismans, crushing them one by one.
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
“Crack!”
After crushing the twentieth talisman, the system notification immediately rang in his ears.
“Ding! Host has reached Wusheng Great Perfection upper limit, meets requirements, epic mission activated!”
“Ding! Host has reached Sword Saint Great Perfection upper limit, meets requirements, epic mission activated!”
Jun Changxiao sat down, his face showing neither joy nor sorrow.
It’s here.
The epic mission finally arrived.
As long as he completed it, he could break through to Wudi.
Although Jun Changxiao already knew that Wudi was just the lower position in the Void-Breaking Realm, looking across Xingyun Continent, it was undoubtedly the most supreme existence.
“As long as I take this step.”
He clenched his fist, finally becoming excited: “This seat will ascend to the emperor position and can stand equal to the Nine Great Wudi!”
“Just wait!”
Jun Changxiao roared: “I will definitely take revenge!”
“Revenge for what.” the system said: “You have no grudge with them!”
“Sorry.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Wrong script.”
…
Usually, as the strongest super existences of a plane, during the protagonist’s growth path, conflicts would inevitably arise with them, perhaps birthing the classic line “This child must not be allowed to live.”
However.
The death-courting expert had been causing trouble on Xingyun Continent for so long, yet the Nine Great Wudi never appeared. Even as Dog Sheng was about to reach the martial dao peak of the plane, they still maintained the mystery befitting high-level experts.
You nine.
Stop hiding.
If you don’t come out soon, you’ll just be background walls.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao clicked on the first epic mission, the content being——
Epic Mission [Thirteen]
Mission Details: Please have the host elevate the Eternal Sect to a first-rate sect within three years and gain recognition from major sects across Xingyun Continent and even top-tier experts.
Mission Failure: Not completed within the prescribed time, or not receiving recognition from all parties.
Mission Reward: ???
“This simple?”
Jun Changxiao’s face showed astonishment.
With the Eternal Sect’s current strength, finding Yi Tianxing for certification would definitely get them first-rate sect status.
If there was any trouble at all, it was probably that the total number of disciples hadn’t reached the standard, but given three years, he could definitely recruit enough.
A gimme question!
“You also need recognition from various sects.” the system reminded.
Jun Changxiao said: “Once the sect is elevated to first-rate, I’ll invite all the sect masters with status and reputation across the continent. This seat wants to see who agrees and who opposes!”
“…” The system was speechless.
Judging from how the host humbled himself to marry the Rose Empress to complete a branch mission, threatening various big shots seemed not at all surprising.
“There’s also top-tier experts.”
The system said: “Strictly speaking, it probably refers to the Nine Great Wudi.”
“They’re as elusive as dragons—if the host can’t get their recognition, it’ll probably be very hard to complete the epic mission.”
Jun Changxiao roared: “Can you stop being a wet blanket!”
“I’m making the host face reality and not underestimate epic missions.” the system said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao fell into silence.
Whether disciple numbers or recognition from various sects, both were minor matters.
But the mission specified top-tier experts, which was a bit thorny, because no one on all of Xingyun Continent knew where the nine Wudi were.
“Sigh.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head: “This isn’t a gimme question after all.”
He clicked on the other epic mission.
Epic Mission [Fourteen]
Mission Details: The Nine Great Wudi of Xingyun Continent are imprisoned in the nine levels of hell at the Starry Sky Fortress. Please have the host rescue them all.
Mission Reward: ???
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao shot up with a “whoosh,” exclaiming: “The Nine Great Wudi are imprisoned in the nine-level prison?!”
“…”
The system really wanted to find a corner to cry.
When the host was feeling smug, it gave a timely blow, feeling quite pleased with itself. But then immediately getting slapped in the face by epic mission fourteen—did it have to be this fast!
