The Star Spirit Realm’s most elite legion had just arrived, and their entire equipment set was stolen by Jun Changxiao.

After all, he was the dignified master of a sect, the master of an entire realm, yet he kept doing sneaky, despicable things.

When dealing with enemies, Dog Leftover would use any means necessary.

Besides, shouldn’t armor and equipment be stored in spatial rings? Displaying them so openly on clothing racks—weren’t they just begging to be stolen?

“Be more careful next time.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head, saying, “Don’t make mistakes.”

He had actually wanted to steal their spatial rings too, but since most were worn on fingers, trying to remove them would definitely be discovered.

“Time to go, time to go.”

Jun Changxiao left the city.

The treasuries of all the major nobles had been swept clean.

This trip.

He had obtained quite a lot.

Especially the Flying Tiger Army’s equipment—the grade and quality were extremely high.

“Sect Master!”

In the Casting Hall, Fan Yezi stroked the armor that had been sent over, saying delightedly, “The material is excellent!”

“Can it be improved?” Jun Changxiao asked.

“No!”

Fan Yezi said seriously, “The armor made from this type of ore is already at the current top-tier standard. There’s absolutely no need for further improvement.”

“Meaning it can be directly equipped to the disciples?”

“Correct.”

“That saves trouble then.”

Jun Changxiao kept one piece for Fan Yezi to research and handed the rest over to the War Cavalry Hall.

The Dark Destruction God had always used black as its main color, and the Flying Tiger Army’s black armor also fit the Eternal Sect’s mainstream color scheme. So when members put it on, there was no sense of discord—in fact, they found it very comfortable.

“Who should get this commander’s armor?” Jun Changxiao considered.

Actually, in terms of grade, the armor worn by Commander Yu already belonged to the top-tier supreme treasure category. But the sect had few female disciples to begin with, and there wasn’t a single one in the War Cavalry Hall, so he could only consider other disciples.

Just then, Lu Qianqian walked out from the back mountain.

She had barely had any screen time recently because she had been cultivating the whole time. From the icy cold aura emanating from her, her strength had likely improved considerably.

“Qianqian.”

Jun Changxiao called to her, saying, “Want a piece of armor of exceptional quality?”

“Yes.”

Lu Qianqian didn’t hesitate, a world of difference from when she had just joined the sect and refused even when Dog Leftover actively offered her items from the shop.

People.

They all change.

Of course, although she hadn’t changed as dramatically as Ye Xingchen, at least she now knew that items given by the Sect Master definitely had extraordinary qualities.

“Here you go.”

Jun Changxiao tossed the armor over.

“Thank you, Sect Master.” Lu Qianqian said simply, then returned to her quarters to rest.

Already accustomed to his first disciple’s cold personality, Jun Changxiao didn’t mind and returned to his study to skillfully open the System interface.

Having dealt with Yin and completed the task, he obtained twenty thousand reputation points. He was preparing to use them to purchase a supreme-grade secret realm.

The previous task had rewarded three supreme-grade secret realms. Due to lack of reputation points, Dog Leftover had temporarily only bought the Spacetime Secret Realm. Now that his wallet was full, he planned to buy another one.

“Damn!”

The System shouted, “I thought you’d forgotten!”

“Nonsense.” Jun Changxiao said, “I never forget things, unless I can’t remember them.”

“Which one to choose?”

Dog Leftover considered.

The two secret realms were respectively the Supreme-Grade Myriad Laws Secret Realm and the Supreme-Grade Heavenly Vein Secret Realm. As for their functions and effects, he would only know after purchasing them.

“Just pick one randomly.”

The System said, “They’re definitely both useful.”

Jun Changxiao believed this, so he prepared two pieces of paper, wrote down the secret realm names, crumpled them into balls, and drew lots. Ultimately, he drew the Supreme-Grade Heavenly Vein Secret Realm, so he purchased it without hesitation.

“Ding! The host has spent 20,000 reputation points and obtained Supreme-Grade Heavenly Vein Secret Realm ×1. It has been delivered to your spatial ring.”

“Ding! Sect Reputation Points: 200.”

“…”

Seeing his reputation points nearly depleted again, Jun Changxiao said painfully, “When will this thing depreciate like contribution points into Zimbabwe currency?”

…

As usual.

When purchasing a secret realm, an instruction manual was included.

Jun Changxiao carefully read through it. The more he read, the more excited he became. The more he read, the more agitated he became. Then, unable to control his emotions, he kissed the cheek beside him.

Hua Meigui was immediately stunned, then shyly lowered her head.

Screech!

Jun Changxiao’s expression immediately froze. Then, holding his head, he shouted, “When did you come in!”

“Just now.”

Dog Leftover had been too engrossed in reading the manual and hadn’t noticed Hua Meigui pushing the door open. Also, because he had learned about the Heavenly Vein Secret Realm’s functions, his emotions momentarily got out of control and he did something irrational. Everyone should just pretend they didn’t see it.

“What made you so happy?”

Hua Meigui also knew that under normal circumstances, her husband wouldn’t do such things, so there must be some reason.

“Come!”

Jun Changxiao took her hand, saying, “I’ll show you something good!”

“Uh…”

Hua Meigui didn’t resist, letting him lead her out of the study, thinking to herself: “Husband is so open now.”

Absolutely.

Holding hands was no pressure for Dog Leftover.

It was just that he had accidentally kissed her earlier, which still carried a bit of youthful shyness and awkwardness.

Youth?

Ugh!

…

As long as there was a new secret realm, it naturally had to be placed in the back mountain. So Jun Changxiao brought Hua Meigui there and directly set up the freshly obtained Heavenly Vein Secret Realm entrance.

“There’s a new secret realm?”

The disciples saw this, their eyes burning with enthusiasm as they crowded around.

At this moment, Su Xiaomo blocked them, rebuking, “Don’t you see the Sect Master and Madam spending time together alone? What are you crowding around for? Go cool off somewhere.”

It must be said.

Although Big Mouth Su liked to gossip, she still had good judgment.

“Right, right, right!”

Everyone hurriedly suppressed their curiosity and dispersed.

“What is this?”

Hua Meigui, standing before the secret realm, inquired.

“Go in and you’ll know.” Jun Changxiao didn’t know if he was deliberately being mysterious or deliberately taking advantage, but he pulled her hand and walked into the Heavenly Vein Secret Realm.

“Swoosh!”

“Swoosh!”

The two merged into the vortex and found themselves on crimson earth.

Hua Meigui looked around and found that the environment here was just a bit nicer, nothing particularly special, so she said puzzled, “Very ordinary?”

Jun Changxiao pointed to a distant mountain, saying, “Look carefully.”

Hua Meigui focused intently on it. At first, she didn’t notice anything special, but gradually becoming aware, she said in surprise, “This is… a spirit stone vein?”

Dog Leftover nodded.

Hua Meigui’s divine sense had already spread out, discovering that the area she was in had mountains, all radiating abundant heavenly and earthly attributes. So she said in disbelief, covering her mouth, “All these mountains are veins!”

“No.”

Jun Changxiao smiled, saying, “Every mountain, stone, plant, and tree in the secret realm is formed from spirit stones.”

“What?!”

The shock in Hua Meigui’s eyes grew even stronger. Then she looked down at the moss-covered stone under her feet. After careful observation, she was able to confirm that this was indeed a sizeable… spirit stone!

“Heavenly Vein Secret Realm.”

Jun Changxiao put his hands on his hips, saying proudly, “It means everything under heaven is a vein!”

With that, he waved his hand and picked up a leaf. But it was just a spirit stone shaped like a leaf, and the heavenly and earthly attributes contained within were no less than the highest-grade spirit stones from the Upper Realm.

At this moment, the camera pulled infinitely far back, suspended at the highest point of the secret realm. Jun Changxiao and Hua Meigui standing within were like ants, and everything around them was gathered from spirit stones, with abundant heavenly and earthly attributes forming clouds and seas drifting between heaven and earth.

Spirit stones everywhere, veins everywhere.

The Heavenly Vein Secret Realm.

Terrifying to such a degree.
