Whether a sect was strong or not could be determined by looking at its territory.

Take Lingtian Immortal Sect for example. As one of the Upper Realm’s absolute rulers, its mountain location was magnificent and imposing, like a celestial realm. Even the air was permeated with extremely high-grade heaven and earth attributes.

Honestly, Jun Changxiao was jealous.

Such an excellent feng shui treasure land—even without cultivation, just breathing and circulating energy daily would definitely make one stronger.

“No way.”

“After returning, I need to renovate Eternal Immortal Mountain.”

Though Lingtian Immortal Sect’s mountain was excellent, it was ultimately only suitable for visiting, not for usurping. So Jun Changxiao hoped more to personally create his own home base.

Actually, looking back at the Eternal Sect’s rise, though they’d bullied quite a few sects and seized many resources, their territory had always been Tiegu Mountain. They’d never relocated because of better feng shui treasure lands.

This was attachment to home.

This was sentiment.

Li Qingyang was similarly shocked by Lingtian Immortal Sect’s mountain, thinking inwardly: “The sect still needs many improvements.”

In an instant, blueprint after blueprint without repetition was outlined in his consciousness.

“Is this Sect Master Jun?”

“Isn’t he bald? How does he have hair?”

“Imposing and heroic, handsome and distinguished!”

Outside Lingtian Immortal Sect’s range, millions of spectators gathered to watch the excitement, quietly discussing Jun Changxiao’s appearance.

Of course, they also greatly admired how he flew over on a warship and his first sentence demanded the Immortal Sect Master get his ass out here!

Too arrogant, too awesome!

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, breaking wind sounds came from the distant sky.

“Disciple!”

“Your master has arrived!”

Tonggu Zhenren, bringing Qiye Zhenren and other members of the support group, flew over and hovered to the right of the warship, all wearing smiles.

When the Ten Great Immortal Sects targeted the Eternal Sect and they went to support, they’d been prepared to break relations or even die in battle. So their expressions had been solemn. Now, knowing Jun Changxiao’s strength, their minds were naturally at ease.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

The sky had even more fierce winds blowing over.

Led by the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, Stone Statue Clan powerhouses arrived next, hovering to the left of the warship. They saluted Jun Changxiao in unison: “Greetings, Clan Leader!”

“Clan Leader?”

“Sect Master Jun is the Stone Statue Clan’s leader?”

Spectators from all sides were dumbfounded.

When the Star Spirit Realm invaded the second time, many ordinary martial artists had seen the Stone Statue Clan but didn’t know their relationship with Jun Changxiao.

Tonggu Zhenren and Qiye Zhenren had learned about it beforehand, but seeing the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers, whose strength surpassed their own, standing respectfully to the side, their hearts grew unsettled again.

“Disciple.”

“You’ve brought your master such glory!”

At this moment, Tonggu Zhenren stood tall with his chest out, eyes full of pride. He looked nothing like what Jun Changxiao described as “transcending the three realms, beyond the five elements.”

“Roar—”

Suddenly, an earth-shaking dragon roar resounded through the sky. Startled, everyone raised their heads and saw dozens of mighty, magnificent giant dragon beasts flying over like they were riding clouds and mist.

“The Dragon Clan!”

Everyone’s expressions grew even more shocked!

Wait!

That young man standing on a dragon beast, wearing gorgeous robes and a crown—could he possibly be… the Dragon Emperor?

“Disciple Long Aotian!”

Xiao Longlong led the group hovering before the warship, cupping his fists: “Greetings, Sect Master!”

Having transformed into their true forms, dozens of Dragon Clan high-level members lowered their heads, their eyes filled with extremely high respect.

With the two great clans’ high-level members arriving successively, one calling him Clan Leader and the other addressing themselves as disciples, the spectating martial artists grew increasingly shocked!

There was more!

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Just then, streams of light flew from all directions. From the auras they emanated, they clearly weren’t human!

“Leiling Clan Leader greets Sect Master Jun!”

“Ice Phoenix Clan Leader greets Sect Master Jun!”

“Divine Movement Clan Leader…”

When leaders of major clans brought their high-level members flying over, then bowed toward Jun Changxiao on the Tonggu warship, millions of martial artists stood completely dumbfounded.

What’s called presence?

This was it!

“Snap!”

Li Shangtian, piloting the Type 66 mecha, seized the opportunity to take out his camera, using a wide-angle lens to capture the scene of major clan leaders saluting the Sect Master.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

At this moment, several streams of light flew out from Lingtian Immortal Sect. The leading figure was Lin Haoyan. When he looked up and saw Jun Changxiao standing on the warship, fury immediately… holy crap! Why did all the major clans come?

If his forehead had a rage meter, when he emerged it would have climbed straight to the top. After seeing the various clan experts, it rapidly dropped back down.

“Sect Master Lin.”

Jun Changxiao cupped his fists: “The saying goes: courtesy demands reciprocity. Since your Lingtian Immortal Sect visited my Eternal Sect, naturally I must return the visit.”

“…”

Lin Haoyan’s expression was extremely ugly.

Summoning nearly all the major clans—this return visit’s formation was truly too grand!

Absolutely.

You Ten Great Immortal Sects sent a hundred thousand elites to my Eternal Sect. If I didn’t reciprocate with an even grander scene, readers would definitely criticize.

“Sect Master Jun!”

Lin Haoyan said in a heavy voice: “Must you push things to an irreparable point?”

“Hehe.”

Lord Gou Sheng smiled politely yet awkwardly.

Tonggu Zhenren was more straightforward, looking at Lin Haoyan with disdainful eyes. If not for his status, he would have spat on the spot.

When you Ten Great Immortal Sects came to attack my disciple’s sect, why didn’t you consider pushing things to an irreparable point?

“Sect Master Lin.”

Jun Changxiao flicked his hair, smiling: “After all, we’re all sects. In the Upper Realm, we see each other all the time. I don’t want to make things too ugly either. How about this—hand over all your sect’s martial dao resources, and I’ll leave with my people immediately!”

“Bah!”

The system said: “Still craving their resources!”

With developments reaching this point, Lingtian Immortal Sect could no longer contend with the Eternal Sect. Compensating and admitting fault was the best outcome. But hearing “hand over all resources,” Lin Haoyan immediately objected!

Resources were crucial to a sect. Handing them all over would be tantamount to self-crippling!

“Sect Master Jun!”

Lin Haoyan said: “My Lingtian Immortal Sect is willing to compensate, but handing over all resources is difficult to comply with!”

With millions of martial artists present, saying he was willing to compensate truly meant admitting cowardice. But since he had to be a coward, he needed to show backbone—at minimum bargaining, not allowing himself to be slaughtered at will!

“Using all resources to ensure Lingtian Immortal Sect isn’t delisted—no matter how you calculate it, this deal isn’t a loss, right?” Jun Changxiao said.

Everyone present understood. Sect Master Jun’s meaning was very simple: hand over all resources and the Immortal Sect could continue existing. Don’t hand them over and be delisted.

“Domineering!”

Various martial artists thought inwardly.

Historically prestigious Immortal Sects in the Upper Realm were simply supreme gods. Now someone was threatening them so nakedly—absolutely something they couldn’t even dream of!

“No room for negotiation?” Lin Haoyan asked with difficulty.

Speaking words similar to begging for mercy before the world was an extremely painful thing. But… he had no choice, because the sect’s foundation couldn’t be destroyed in his hands.

“None.”

Jun Changxiao’s answer was also very decisive.

Actually, he’d already given them a way out.

Just based on sending a hundred thousand elites to attack earlier, annihilating Lingtian Immortal Sect a hundred times wouldn’t be unjust.

Lin Haoyan’s facial expression shifted unpredictably, his eyes showing struggle, pain, and also fury. Until finally, it condensed into a single word: “Al—”

“Alright my ass!”

Suddenly, a vigorous, aged voice came from within the Immortal Sect: “With this old man present, no one can extort my Lingtian Immortal Sect!”

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

As the words fell, rolling air waves roared over.

The surrounding heaven and earth attributes seemed to be forcibly gathered by some indisputable power, then rapidly forming an enormous palm print carrying vast might above the Tonggu warship.

“Not good!”

Tonggu Zhenren’s expression changed drastically.

“Protect the Clan Leader!” The Three Dukes and Nine Ministers reacted extremely quickly, immediately flying up. Stone Statue power erupted rapidly, forming layer upon layer of defense!

“Stand down!”

Jun Changxiao’s voice rang out from the warship: “Let me meet him myself!”
