The Bluffing Garment was purchased, but prestige points were back to zero.

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao lamented, “Worked so hard to save them, spent it all at once.”

Compared to contribution values that easily rewarded hundreds of thousands, a few hundred prestige points was pitifully little, even making him recall the feeling of being dirt poor back in the day.

“Don’t worry.”

The system consoled, “Prestige items are superior to contribution value items. Host definitely won’t suffer a loss or be cheated.”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes, “Are you taking kickbacks again!”

“I never take kickbacks!”

The system’s tone was firm, clearly very confident.

Jun Changxiao ignored it and waved to take out the Bluffing Garment.

This was a robe-like outfit. The style was quite novel, and wearing it wouldn’t look shabby.

Actually, whether clothes looked shabby also depended on who wore them. With his flawless physique and appearance, Dog Leftover was a walking clothes hanger—anything he wore looked great.

“Whoosh!”

His consciousness merged in, establishing a connection.

In an instant, Jun Changxiao’s soul seemed to merge into a wondrous world. There floated crystal-clear spheres emanating different auras—martial dao, sword dao, alchemy dao… many, many kinds.

“I understand.”

“This is bluffing.”

Jun Changxiao stopped before the sphere representing martial dao, lightly raised his hand to touch it. In the outside world, his eyes suddenly snapped open, and a torrential wave of energy instantly enveloped him.

…

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

In the wilderness, over ten martial artists were speeding along. One said puzzled, “Strange. We clearly saw that demonic beast run this way. How come there’s no trace?”

“It’s already injured, it can’t escape far!” the leader shouted, “Search carefully!”

“Big Brother!”

Just then, a martial artist called out, “There’s someone ahead!”

“Hm?”

Only then did everyone notice a man in a long robe standing in the forest with his eyes closed, seemingly thinking about something, or perhaps… asleep?

Impressive!

In an area where demonic beasts frequently appeared, he dared to zone out!

“Big Brother, judging from this guy’s clothing, he seems to be rich. Should we…” A martial artist’s mouth curved into a wicked smile.

The one called Big Brother said seriously, “This person’s aura isn’t strong. In such a dangerous place, he could be eaten by demonic beasts at any moment. If we safely escort him out, shouldn’t he give some reward?”

“Should, should!”

The subordinates hastily agreed.

“Let’s go!”

“Swish! Swish!”

Everyone rapidly approached.

Just then, the young man who’d been standing still suddenly opened his eyes, and explosive-level powerful aura instantly erupted from his body!

Gasp!

Everyone stopped abruptly, their eyes filling with horror.

The terrifying aura suddenly burst forth, making them feel as if mountains weighing a hundred thousand tons pressed on their backs!

Good heavens!

This was a super expert!

Under the powerful aura, everyone’s legs wouldn’t obey, all collapsing to the ground. Some were even directly scared into wetting themselves.

“Hm?”

Jun Changxiao, who’d just activated the Bluffing Garment’s martial dao effect, discovered over ten people prostrated around him. He turned around, “Something you need?”

Because of the powerful martial dao aura enhancement, just saying two words contained unfathomable depth, frightening those martial artists until their souls nearly flew from their bodies.

Great Master!

Great God!

“No… no…” Big Brother forced down his terror, his voice trembling, “Nothing…”

“Oh.”

Jun Changxiao responded, then continued on his way.

He didn’t know how strong the martial dao aura he was currently releasing actually was, but being able to scare a group of Sky-Breaking Realm cultivators until they couldn’t stand—that should be pretty good, right?

“Phew!”

Watching Dog Leftover leave, the ten-plus martial artists felt relieved. Some even covered their faces and cried, clearly severely traumatized.

…

“Oh right.”

“Can this garment freely change form?”

On the road, Jun Changxiao became interested. Many styles floated through his mind. After selecting one, the robe draped over him rapidly darkened, then red cloud patterns emerged.

“Not cool enough.”

“Whoosh!”

The Bluffing Garment changed again to white with ‘Second Generation’ characters on the back, then transformed to ‘Justice’ characters, until after leaving the forest it became a brownish-red short outfit with the character ‘Jun’ on the chest.

The system roared, “Please, this isn’t a cosplay costume!”

…

The Upper Realm’s territorial divisions were similar to Xingyun Continent but divided into domains—like Southeast Domain, Northwest Domain.

The most central area was called Central Domain, also the world’s most prosperous region.

The Boundary Hall, Alchemy Hall and other organizations’ headquarters were mostly established in Central Domain. For Jun Changxiao to visit, he naturally had to travel from Southeast Domain all the way to Central Domain. The journey’s length, if traveling purely on foot, would take years.

Fortunately, there was the Seven-Color Radiant Wing.

Though this item’s flight speed wasn’t super fast, its advantage was energy efficiency with extremely strong endurance.

Jun Changxiao summoned it, dragging a flowing light at extreme speed. In just two months, he entered Central Domain territory.

“Wow.”

“The heavenly attributes here are even stronger than Southeast Domain.”

Flying along, he not only appreciated Central Domain’s magnificent landscapes but also encountered many powerful martial artists. He sighed, “One region’s water and soil nurtures one region’s people. There should be more experts here.”

“What’s that?”

“Whoa, such brilliant radiance!”

Martial artists also noticed seven-colored flowing light flashing across the sky. They all looked up, until confirming it was a martial artist flying with a pair of rainbow-colored wings. Their eyes immediately filled with jealousy, envy, and resentment.

The system said, “Being so showy, host, be careful of highway robbery.”

“Perfect.”

Jun Changxiao said, “You just jinxed it, so I’m definitely safe now.”

“…”

The system despaired, “The saying goes ‘wealth shouldn’t be flaunted.’ Host flying so conspicuously in the sky will definitely attract the attention of those with ill intentions.”

“Say a bit more, it’ll make me safer!”

“Damn! I’m serious!”

…

The camera turned. Jun Changxiao very safely stopped before Matchless City. This was one of Central Domain’s large-scale cities and also where the Alchemy Hall headquarters was located.

Standing before the towering city gates, Dog Leftover exclaimed, “Really damn magnificent!”

“…”

The system remained silent.

Flying over so conspicuously without getting robbed—totally unscientific!

“Halt!”

Just as he prepared to enter the city, a stern-looking general blocked his way, shouting, “Anyone entering Matchless City must provide identification.”

Large cities had many rules. Providing identification was mandatory.

Jun Changxiao wasn’t a troublemaker. He cooperatively took out his Linyuan City permanent resident identification.

Lu Deshui had not only handled his certification but also handled it for all Eternal Sect disciples. It could be said the entire sect were legal Linyuan City residents.

“Sorry.”

The general said coldly, “Low-tier city residents aren’t qualified to enter Matchless City.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao forced a smile, “Can you make an exception?”

The general still had to check others’ identification, so he impatiently waved his hand, “Scram, scram, scram.”

Holy crap!

You’re quite arrogant!

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao stopped pretending and directly showed his hand—taking out the miniature Tonggu Warship, shouting, “Open your eyes wide and see what this is!”

“Whoosh! Whoosh!”

Heavy aura instantly burst forth.

The general stumbled back a step in shock. After seeing clearly the four large characters carved on it, he blurted out, “Tonggu Warship!”

People queuing to enter the city were also startled, all turning to look. Upon seeing the warship and sensing the profound aura, their facial expressions gradually turned shocked.

“You… you…” The general suppressed his inner horror, “Are you… the Eternal Sect Master?!”

Hey.

Central Domain has also heard of me?

Jun Changxiao felt somewhat elated as he took out the Sect Master token, proudly saying, “Genuine article.”

If he’d shown this first, he’d definitely be questioned, since a single profound stone could buy hundreds of tokens. But now there was no doubt, because the Tonggu Warship’s profound aura couldn’t be faked!

“So it’s Sect Master Jun, my respects, my respects!” The general’s attitude instantly changed from cold indifference to extremely enthusiastic.

Jun Changxiao said lightly, “Can you demonstrate how to scram?”

“Sure!”

The general directly fell to the ground and rolled around.

Jun Changxiao’s expression immediately stiffened, thinking to himself, “He’s so practiced at this!”
