“Whoosh——”
The Eternal sliced through the void, flying at extreme speed toward the endless starry sky.
Where was it going?
The Upper Realm.
Since bringing Gu Zhenren and the others into the Eternal Realm, Jun Changxiao hadn’t returned for a long time.
Actually, this place was just a waystation in his long life journey. If not for the mysterious person appearing, he wouldn’t possibly return.
“Could it be the Heavenly Demon Emperor?”
On the journey, Jun Changxiao pondered.
He dared to guess this way because that guy was injured and definitely couldn’t come out brazenly, but would hide in a relatively remote region.
“The Upper Universe is so vast, with countless remote places. Why would he choose the Upper Realm?” the System asked.
Jun Changxiao explained: “He should know I once lived there. Perhaps it’s not just recuperating, but also possibly revenge!”
“…”
The System fell silent.
Nearly killed by the Great Sage, becoming angry from embarrassment and doing something extreme was possible.
“My son.”
At this time, Gongsun Ruoli said: “How long until we reach the Upper Realm?”
Not only did she come, Zhang San also came.
Jun Changxiao initially disagreed with the two elders coming. If they really encountered the Heavenly Demon Emperor, it would only bring them danger.
Gongsun Ruoli said: “Your father and I met in the Upper Realm. That place holds too many memories.”
“Alright.”
Jun Changxiao could only bring the two elders along.
In fact, Gongsun Ruoli decided to temporarily live in the Upper Realm and didn’t plan to return to the Eternal Realm. The reason was still worry that frequent contact between Zhang San and her son would expose the truth.
That matter had to be kept secret.
“Mother.”
Jun Changxiao answered: “About a few hours and we can arrive.”
…
Upper Realm.
It had changed quite a bit.
Many sects sprouted up like bamboo shoots after rain.
Thanks to Jun Changxiao destroying the Ten Great Immortal Sects, various restrictions were broken, giving later generations opportunities to develop.
When old forces decline, naturally they provide growth space for new forces. So before long, this plane would definitely see a hundred flowers bloom in competition.
Of course.
People wouldn’t forget the person who changed the Upper Realm’s structure. Though he had already left with his entire sect, they would still regard Phoenix Roost Immortal Mountain where he once lived as a martial dao holy land, coming to pay respects every year.
Coincidentally.
Today was the memorial day.
Martial artists from all quarters rushed over.
They stood outside the large crater that seemed to have been directly hollowed out by some power, their faces solemn and admiring.
“Friend, what’s the meaning of this?” someone in the crowd asked quietly.
“Outsider?”
“Just returned after leaving home for several hundred years.”
“No wonder.”
The one questioned lowered his voice to explain: “This place is called Eternal Immortal Mountain.”
“Isn’t it Phoenix Roost Immortal Mountain?”
“That was before. In recent years it’s been renamed Eternal Sect Immortal Mountain by Sect Master Jun.”
“Sect Master Jun?”
“This is a remarkable great personage who brought an entire mountain ascending from the Lower Realm, then established his sect here.”
“That exaggerated?”
“Exaggerated? That’s just the beginning.”
The one questioned explained how Jun Changxiao brought his sect ascending, then developed and destroyed the Ten Great Immortal Sects. From his expression, one could see that even though much time had passed, even though he’d told this story countless times, his heart still couldn’t calm down whenever he mentioned it.
“…”
After learning everything, the questioner left Eternal Immortal Mountain and sat alone on a certain mountain peak, sighing: “Never thought that guy actually ascended from the Lower Realm.”
Why give screen time to a passerby?
Because… he was the mysterious person from the intelligence, his true identity being the red-haired man killed once by Nezha!
“Fate?”
The red-haired man smiled bitterly.
To gain freedom, he went to kill Jun Changxiao, only to discover the other party rose to prominence in the Upper Realm where he once lived.
And what he didn’t expect even more was that in just a few decades after ascending, the other party stirred the Upper Realm upside down, even overthrowing the Ten Great Immortal Sects’ rule.
“No wonder.”
The red-haired man said: “He dares to oppose the Heavenly Demon Emperor.”
Understanding Jun Changxiao’s development history made him deeply realize the other party was absolutely no ordinary person.
“Looks like the person Weibuzi divined who would change the universe’s structure should be him.” The red-haired man shook his head: “Unfortunately, he appeared too late. The Heavenly Demon Emperor has already comprehended the Heaven-Devouring Demon Transformation Great Method.”
He didn’t deny Jun Changxiao’s formidability.
But he also had to admit the Heavenly Demon Emperor was even more unsolvable.
As long as planes still existed in the Upper Universe, they would all become dishes in his plate for growing stronger.
“Sigh.”
The red-haired man stood up and locked onto the East Sea’s location.
In his memory, the whirlpool connecting to the Stone Image Clan should be in that sea region.
However, when he rushed over and searched for most of the day, he couldn’t find it at all. Instead, he saw quite a few martial artists training and adventuring.
“Strange.”
The red-haired man furrowed his brows.
According to the rules set long ago between the human race and Stone Image Clan, martial artists couldn’t casually enter the sea region where the Stone Image Domain was located. How could they be so unrestrained?
Could Jun Changxiao have not only dealt with the Ten Great Immortal Sects but also dealt with the various clans?
Judging from that guy’s methods in destroying the Ten Great Immortal Sects, if he really moved against the Stone Image Clan, he would definitely show no mercy. And given Ruoli’s fierce temperament, she definitely wouldn’t submit, so she probably already…
Thinking of this, killing intent and fury flared in the red-haired man’s eyes.
And his son.
Was he also…
The red-haired man didn’t dare think further. His heart transmitted绞pain.
Calm down!
Ruoli and my son might still be alive. I can’t be too pessimistic!
The red-haired man adjusted his mindset, then descended on a small island and inquired of a martial artist who was resting, saying: “Friend, if I remember correctly, this should be the Stone Image Clan’s sea region.”
“That’s right.”
That person nodded.
“Wasn’t there a rule that without permission, no one could set foot here?” the red-haired man said.
That person said: “There used to be such a rule, but after Sect Master Jun came, it no longer exists.”
He meant the rule no longer existed. Because the red-haired man was too worried, he subconsciously understood it as the Stone Image Clan already no longer existing!
How could he endure that?
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Instantly, terrifying killing energy surged around the red-haired man, and scorching flame energy erupted even more frantically.
The martial artist beside him was immediately frightened and retreated repeatedly in shock.
“Tell me!”
The red-haired man suddenly raised his hand, drawing that person over and grasping his neck. His eyes full of killing intent, he said: “Was the Stone Image Clan destroyed by the Eternal Sect!”
He was truly angry.
If not for having injuries and weakened strength, at this moment the Upper Realm would probably have already transformed into a sea of flames.
“No… no…”
The martial artist whose throat was locked said in terror: “The Stone Image Clan wasn’t destroyed…”
The red-haired man froze, his killing intent and grip strength relaxing somewhat as he said: “If they weren’t destroyed, why don’t I see the whirlpool entrance?”
“Because… the Stone Image Clan has already followed Sect Master Jun and left the Upper Realm.” The martial artist said with a pained expression.
Followed that guy and left?
Could the clan have already become slaves?
This imagination power—if not considering bloodline, he really had a father-son connection with Dog Sheng.
“Tell me!”
The red-haired man increased his grip strength quite a bit, his eyes cold as he said: “Is the Stone Image Clan’s chieftain still alive or not!”
“Sect Master Jun is of course alive!”
“I’m asking about the Stone Image Clan’s chieftain, not him, Jun Changxiao!”
“Sect… Master Jun is the Stone Image Clan’s chieftain!”
“…”
The red-haired man’s eyes filled with even more killing intent.
That guy actually took over the Stone Image Clan’s chieftain position, which also meant Ruoli had already met with misfortune!
“Ah! Ah!”
The red-haired man raised his head and roared in fury: “Jun Changxiao, I will dismember you into ten thousand pieces!”
Wait!
Was his son alive or dead?
He pulled that martial artist over again, his eyes blazing as he said: “The Stone Image Clan’s young chieftain! Is he still alive!”
Honestly speaking.
The martial artist whose throat was locked was nearly scared to piss himself. With a crying tone, he said: “Big brother, isn’t the Stone Image Clan’s young chieftain Jun Changxiao? I already said he became chieftain, so of course he’s still alive!”
My son is still alive!
Very good, very good!
The despairing red-haired man finally found a point of comfort.
However…
Clunk!
His expression suddenly froze, then his mouth opened stiffly as he said: “You just said… Jun Changxiao is the Stone Image Clan’s… young chieftain?”
“Yes!”
The martial artist said while crying.
“Swish!” The red-haired man’s entire face leaned over, saying furiously: “How can he, a human, be young chieftain!”
This question truly made the martial artist collapse, but to survive, he could only answer: “The Stone Image Clan chieftain’s son, shouldn’t he be the young chieftain!”
“Boom!”
The red-haired man’s brain seemed to be bombarded by countless thunderbolts. His entire person completely froze in place. Besides the sound of thunder in his ears, the phrase “chieftain’s son” kept repeating.
After a moment.
Coming back to his senses, he held his head with both hands.
“Jun Changxiao is my son?!”
—
## Chapter 1990: Melodrama!
Jun Changxiao was the Stone Image Clan chieftain’s son? Didn’t that mean he was his own son?
In an instant, the red-haired man stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning.
He never dreamed that the guy who looked so punchable would actually be his own child!
No!
Why was there no blood resonance back then?
A strong person who had reached the red-haired man’s level could sense the气息 of blood thicker than water when facing their biological son. Even descendants many generations removed could capture blood resonance.
But when fighting Jun Changxiao, there was absolutely no reaction.
There was only one possibility—that guy wasn’t his child, or from the very beginning, what Gongsun Ruoli gave birth to wasn’t his flesh and blood!
This thought.
Was a bit impressive.
Adding color to his own head!
“Impossible!”
The red-haired man hurriedly dismissed this unrealistic notion, saying firmly: “Definitely my flesh and blood!”
When the child was just born, he was in the Stone Image Domain. Though the time spent together was very short, the气息 of blood thicker than water was especially strong.
“What’s going on!”
The more the red-haired man thought, the more confused he became. He threw that martial artist away and stood in place roaring while holding his head.
No good!
I must investigate this clearly!
The red-haired man immediately set out to head for the Eternal Realm, to find Jun Changxiao and ask clearly.
Very obviously, because of his son, he forgot what the Heavenly Demon Emperor had instructed him to do. Not only did he not go to remote regions to attract attention, he even prepared to actively deliver himself.
“Whoosh——”
Red light streamed through, piercing space.
Readers seeing this cursed aloud: “They’re going to miss each other? Going to keep dragging this out?”
Not happening.
The red-haired man flew out of the Upper Realm and discovered energy fluctuations, so he stopped in place.
In just a moment, the Eternal sliced through the void flying over. The two sides happened to meet face to face.
Fate.
Wonderfully inexplicable.
“Beep! Beep!”
The Eternal’s star map issued a warning that someone was nearby.
“Hmm?” Jun Changxiao subconsciously released his intent. He quickly locked onto the red-haired man, and after seeing his appearance clearly, blurted out: “This guy didn’t die?”
Not right!
Stabbed through the forehead by the heroic soul Nezha—how could he still live?
“Normal.”
The System said: “As a top-tier level strong person, he naturally also has mysterious life-saving methods. Not like the host’s disciples who, when dead, can just be clicked to revive in the Lingyan Pavilion.”
Just speak if you’re going to speak—why add mockery at the end?
Unlike Jun Changxiao’s surprise, Gongsun Ruoli, who had just walked into the cockpit, saw the red-haired man and her expression instantly froze.
He!
Was actually still alive!
“Hmph!”
Jun Changxiao brought out the Xuanyuan Divine Sword and said coldly: “Then I’ll just kill him once more!”
This red-haired man was in league with the Heavenly Demon Emperor, and had killed Xiao Zuiji. Though later revived, the mortal feud was already established.
“Crack! Crack!”
The hatch opened.
If it were before, Jun Changxiao definitely had no confidence in solo combat with the red-haired man. Now having broken through to the top tier, he couldn’t handle the Heavenly Demon Emperor, but couldn’t handle this guy?
“Son…”
Gongsun Ruoli came to her senses and was just about to speak to stop him when Dog Sheng flew out with eyes full of killing intent.
Seeing the one flying out from the warship was precisely the person he was looking for, the red-haired man was delighted. But the next second he hurriedly retreated, because Heavenly Gang Sword Intent had already slashed over.
When enemies meet, eyes blaze red with特别 hatred.
Jun Changxiao wasn’t one to follow jianghu ethics—he just went all in!
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Heavenly Gang Sword Intent erupted wantonly, transforming into streams of light with the势 of tearing space as they pressed over!
Having fought the Heavenly Demon Emperor, he was always at a disadvantage, preventing Jun Changxiao from fully displaying his true strength. Now he could fight to his heart’s content!
The feeling was great!
The red-haired man’s injuries hadn’t healed to begin with. Facing Jun Changxiao whose strength had greatly increased, he instantly fell into passivity. Though he could barely dodge the sharp sword energy, the process could be described as heart-stopping!
“This kid got stronger again!”
If he were my son, I’d definitely be very proud!
“Jun…”
The red-haired man wanted to speak and clarify the matter, but Jun Changxiao gave him no opportunity at all. Holding the Xuanyuan Divine Sword, he charged over. Sky-filling sword energy tore through space with various special effects instantly maxed out.
Facing the Heavenly Demon Emperor, timid and weak.
Facing the red-haired man, heavy fists strike out!
Heaven didn’t birth him, Jun Changxiao—the eternal sword dao would be like endless night!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Sky-filling sword energy erupted, slashing down at tricky angles.
Because the speed was too fast and too cunning, the red-haired man ultimately couldn’t dodge. His right shoulder was immediately slashed with a deep long wound.
“Pchi!”
“Pchi!”
Jun Changxiao pressed his advantage, the Xuanyuan Divine Sword frequently cutting through the void. Sharp sword energy slashed across the other’s body, leaving traces of wounds.
“…”
The red-haired man retreated dripping with blood, his face异常 pale.
Already injured to begin with, now attacked again—this was truly adding frost to snow.
“Die!”
Just then, Jun Changxiao transformed into a sword gleam and charged over!
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
The Xuanyuan Divine Sword not only channeled Heavenly Gang Sword Intent but also channeled Immortal Sound Power. Clearly he intended to directly annihilate this guy.
Intense death energy surged into his heart. The red-haired man knew his life was ending. His heart was bitter无比 as he thought inwardly: “If he is my son, what harm is there in dying by his hand?”
Thinking of this.
He gave up resistance and calmly faced death.
If at this moment Gongsun Ruoli suddenly stepped forward and blocked in front of the red-haired man, the plot would become extremely melodramatic.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao charged over carrying overwhelming killing intent.
Kill my disciple, must die!
“Son!”
Just at this critical juncture, Gongsun Ruoli’s voice with a crying tone came from behind: “He is your father!”
“Pchi——” The sound just rang out when the sharp Xuanyuan Divine Sword had already pierced through the red-haired man’s chest.
Last time piercing the forehead didn’t kill him.
This time piercing the heart should finish him, right!
Actually, regardless of where it pierced, the red-haired man was certain to die. First, that kind of life-saving divine ability couldn’t be used repeatedly. Second, he simply hadn’t resisted at all.
After piercing through the chest, Jun Changxiao wasn’t happy. On the contrary, the muscles on his face stiffened, because he heard Gongsun Ruoli’s crying shout—though… it was a tiny bit late.
“Wah!”
The red-haired man spat out a mouthful of blood, a smile appearing with difficulty at the corner of his mouth.
He also heard Gongsun Ruoli’s shout and also saw her from his current視野. Combined with what was just said, it proved the young man before him was his own son.
Damn.
Too melodramatic.
The author could hardly keep writing.
“Mother.” Jun Changxiao stiffly turned his head and said: “You… what did you say?”
Gongsun Ruoli stopped in the distance. Seeing the red-haired man dripping with blood and pierced through the chest, tears couldn’t stop flowing as she said: “He is your biological father!”
“What about Zhang San!”
“Sect Master Jun…” Zhang San flew out from the Eternal, quite embarrassed as he said: “Madam Gongsun was afraid you’d blame yourself for patricide, so she had me impersonate.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao nearly collapsed.
So it turns out this guy was my dad, and now I’ve committed patricide again!
Fortunately, his reaction was fast enough—he had shifted to the side a bit. With his cultivation level, he shouldn’t die.
Just as he was thinking this, the red-haired man whose chest was pierced by the Xuanyuan Divine Sword suddenly drooped his head, his hands naturally hanging down.
“Hey! Hey!”
Jun Changxiao’s hands rested on his shoulders, shaking him desperately and shouting: “Don’t die!”
