Jun Changxiao finally learned the reason the Nine Great Martial Emperors were imprisoned in Star Fortress, but didn’t expect it to be so shocking, so unbelievable!
The mortal universe actually had an array that could ignore realm and cultivation level to forcibly ascend to the upper realm. If he obtained it and set it up, why even bother cultivating—he could directly relocate the entire sect!
Of course.
Jun Changxiao learned from the two emperors that Ling Yao, who betrayed Night Emperor, not only obtained the Taixuan Scripture but also arranged the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array, then successfully ascended to the upper realm.
As for the Nine Great Martial Emperors.
They were happily preparing to ascend when the array suddenly closed.
Most tragic was that during the array arrangement process, the intense spatial tremors had long alerted Star Fortress.
The brothers were still confused whether the array closing was Ling Yao’s doing when the twelve patrol envoys had already flown over in warships and arrested them.
Jun Changxiao deeply sympathized with the Nine Great Martial Emperors.
Everyone worked hard together to open the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array, only to send Ling Yao up while they were left behind, then imprisoned in Star Fortress for thousands of years for violating regulations.
Yan Feiyu said angrily, “That woman definitely never intended to let everyone ascend together from the start. Actively asking us to help was just using us!”
“Quite possible.”
Jun Changxiao expressed agreement.
Actually, upon learning that one of the Ten Great Martial Emperors, Night Emperor, was betrayed, he guessed that so-called eternal first female emperor was no benevolent person—getting involved with her must have had ulterior motives.
“Impressive, impressive!”
Jun Changxiao said admiringly, “Playing the Ten Great Martial Emperors of Xingyun Continent for fools, then ascending to the upper realm herself—this woman is truly extraordinary. If I encounter her in the future, I’ll need to be very careful.”
Indeed.
From currently obtained information.
First harming Night Emperor, then tricking the Nine Great Martial Emperors.
The eternal first female emperor was definitely the type of woman with both methods and schemes.
The system timely mocked, “As if the host could ascend.”
Jun Changxiao ignored that bastard, asking, “Can you still remember how to arrange the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array?”
His heart stirred.
He was brewing a plan!
If someday he had a sudden whim to ascend to the upper realm, he could use this heaven-defying array to achieve it, rather than stupidly gambling on luck.
Why a sudden whim?
Because currently, Jun Changxiao had no interest in the upper realm—his priority was still completing the main quest, eliminating the soul bomb, then carrying his beloved to wander mountains and waters, living a life envying only mandarin ducks, not immortals.
“Carrying your beloved?”
The system mocked, “Host is dreaming of eating farts.”
As a great jinx, it was careful with every statement, only on this point remaining absolutely convinced!
“The Taixuan Scripture was obtained by Female Emperor Ling Yao. We only helped, so we can’t arrange the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array,” Ren Xinghe said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao said helplessly, “This is troublesome.”
Without array diagrams to arrange it, even if he had sudden whims, it would be useless.
“Right!”
Jun Changxiao slapped his forehead, “Doesn’t Xingyun Continent still have the Taixuan Ice Heart Formula? Since both were created by the Taixuan Elder, it must also record the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array!”
Yan Feiyu said, “To our knowledge, the Taixuan Ice Heart Formula obtained by Taixuan Sacred Sect is only the incomplete upper half. If it truly records the array, it might be hidden in the still-lost lower half on the continent.”
“Find it!”
Jun Changxiao said, “Dig three thousand feet down if necessary!”
Ren Xinghe and Yan Feiyu both showed bitter expressions, “Relying on the Heaven-Seizing Creation Grand Array to ascend to the upper realm isn’t permitted by Star Fortress. Once they discover…”
“Star Fortress is nothing!” Jun Changxiao forcefully interrupted.
“…”
Both men’s facial expressions were somewhat vivid.
This young man who rose after their imprisonment seemed quite impressive.
If the two brothers knew Gou Sheng’s rise took less than ten years, they’d probably remove “slowly” and have their eyeballs pop out simultaneously.
…
Can people change their own fate? I don’t know. I only know that refusing to accept fate is Nezha’s fate. (Line from Nezha: Birth of the Demon Child—author’s obsessive recommendation!)
Refusing to accept fate.
Was also Jun Changxiao’s fate!
If someday he developed the thought of ascending to the upper realm, he absolutely wouldn’t bow to anyone, steadfastly believing in using the array to smuggle himself up, even bringing the entire sect!
If forced to give a reason.
It would be that Jun Changxiao was currently wearing the Qitian Dasheng outfit—even storming the Heavenly Palace held no fear!
Of course.
His current thoughts remained on the main quest and epic quest.
So after conversing with Ren Xinghe for a while and not obtaining news of the other emperors, he strode toward the teleportation array leading to the lower floor.
“Swoosh!”
Tyrant Heaven Spear shouldered, hands draped on both sides in apologetic posture.
“Call once to Buddha, no shore in turning back.”
“Kneel to one as master, life and death irrelevant!”
That singing voice off-key to infinity rang out again through the sixth floor hell. Qin Linen, just recovering, couldn’t suppress it and spewed blood again on the spot.
“Whoosh!”
The array flashed as Jun Changxiao disappeared.
“Thud!”
Qin Linen directly collapsed on the ground. After a while, he spoke from the heart, “This really is a devil!”
…
Seventh floor hell interior.
Jun Changxiao wearing the Great Sage Set walked in with head lowered.
The Tyrant Heaven Spear still rested on his shoulder, giving an extremely carefree feeling. With each step, dust and pebbles beneath his feet gently levitated.
Camera pulling back.
Within a hundred-zhang radius area, there were several thousand prisoners.
These people’s strength was higher than the sixth floor hell, and they wore quite fine quality equipment and weapons, their gazes coldly locked on Jun Changxiao.
“Boy!”
A prisoner who seemed to have some influence blocked the necessary path, coldly saying, “Are you deaf?”
“Step!”
Jun Changxiao stopped, hands still draped on the Tyrant Heaven Spear, looking like a complete hooligan as he smiled, “What did you just say?”
Tyrant Heaven Spear: “Please call me the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, thanks!”
Gou Sheng was already somewhat mischievous, and now wearing the Great Sage Set, he truly had the air of the Qitian Dasheng daring to resist everything. If one had to pick flaws, it would be that his bald head wearing the phoenix-wing purple-gold crown looked slightly comical.
“…”
The blocking prisoner said angrily, “Who are you! Why did you come down!”
“Bang!”
The Tyrant Heaven Spear directly struck the ground horizontally, spiritual energy rippling outward, instantly shocking him and surrounding prisoners into retreating several steps.
“Listen well.”
Jun Changxiao raised his head, using his nostrils to look at people, “I am from Aolai Country, Flower-Fruit Mountain, Water Curtain Cave—the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Jun Wukong!”
“Such an arrogant fellow!”
“I can’t stand it, let’s attack directly!”
Everyone grew angry.
Jun Changxiao tilted his head, “As for why I came down…”
Pausing slightly, he grinned, “From this moment on, I will rule the seventh floor hell, becoming your only boss!”
“Outrageous!”
That prisoner said angrily.
“Attack! Attack! Attack! Chop this guy up!”
“Swoosh!”
“Swoosh!”
Several thousand prisoners couldn’t hold back anymore, pouring spiritual energy into their weapons and equipment, then pressing forward from all directions. In moments, flowing light rendered the dark hell a riot of colors.
“Aha!”
Jun Changxiao yawned. In the instant various energies were about to press down, his gaze suddenly became extremely cold, “Courting death!”
