In a martial dao-dominated world, what do people watch shows for?
Naturally to see spectacular effects!
The planar warriors consecutively watched two great shows, immediately feeling that spending dozens of pounds of ore was extremely worthwhile!
Especially when Jun Changxiao summoned that terrifying weapon and annihilated ten thousand battlefield phantoms in an extremely short time—it was quite shocking to the heart, quite a powerful visual impact!
This round wasn’t a loss, absolutely not a loss!
Seeing everyone’s faces showing expressions of relief, Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “Is this extortion?”
“…” The system fell silent.
Clearly having extortive and threatening qualities, yet making planar warriors feel the expenditure was super worthwhile, perfectly reasonable—this was somewhat shameless.
“Swish!”
“Swish!”
After their Sect Master finished showing off, Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and the others all flew down, collecting all the armor and other equipment the battlefield phantoms wore into their spatial rings.
Five thousand earlier, now ten thousand.
There were quite a few equipment fragments and even complete pieces.
“Valley Master Ke.”
Jun Changxiao turned around, cupping his hands. “This matter is concluded. I, Jun, will take my leave first!”
“Uh…”
Ke Jinnan, in a state of shock, forgot to return the courtesy. Dazed and stupefied, he watched as Jun Changxiao and the Eternal Ancient Sect disciples departed.
The Upper Realm’s consecutive two punishments, dispatching battlefield phantoms that were all easily eliminated—this scene would be imprinted in the spectators’ hearts!
“Comfortable.”
Jun Changxiao returning to the Xingyun Continent outpost wore a smile across his face, because after eliminating the second batch of battlefield phantoms, the hidden mission completed, giving another twenty thousand contribution points and two Experience Talismans!
The planar battlefield matters were basically declared concluded. Before leaving, the Upper Realm could still send experience packs down—they were really too good to him!
…
“Master.”
In a void, ethereal space, a hunched elder said somewhat incredulously, “That guy’s weapon is rather powerful.”
The woman shrouded in clouds and mist murmured, “This punishment, this Emperor strictly followed regulations. Still unable to deal with the Xingyun Continent—the Boundary Hall will definitely have nothing to say.”
Previous punishments were all experience packs.
This time, directly deploying ten thousand advanced battlefield phantoms could be said to raise difficulty from simple to hell.
“Master.”
The hunched elder’s expression turned grave. “That guy called Jun Changxiao is not simple. Perhaps in the future…”
The cloud-shrouded woman interrupted, “In the mortal world, there are many people who aren’t simple. Those who truly survive and achieve something are the successful ones.”
“Let’s go.”
“We’re returning.”
“Yes!”
The two people disappeared soundlessly into the endless void.
…
Xingyun Continent outpost.
After Jun Changxiao flew inside, he put away the Difficult to Reclaim Blade, only then raising his sleeve to wipe away the beads of sweat on his forehead.
After a bout of massive slaughter, the spiritual energy within his body depleted extremely quickly. If not for his realm improvement and good foundation, he’d probably be completely exhausted on the ground by now.
Activating the Difficult to Reclaim Blade’s second form caused two hours of weakness and inability to use spiritual energy for one month. So when Dog Sheng sheathed it, he weakened again.
“It’s fine, it’s fine.”
Jun Changxiao thought to himself, “I can go to the Spacetime Secret Realm to recover.”
“All disciples listen to orders—return to the Eternal Ancient Sect!”
“Yes!”
The Xingyun Continent mission was already complete. Unless occasionally entering for practical combat, staying here long-term had no meaning.
However!
Before leaving, Jun Changxiao came to the battlefield merit shop, exchanging all his accumulated merit points for Condensing Origin Pills and various martial techniques.
Though Condensing Origin Pills’ effects weren’t as good as Gathering Qi Pills, at least they could be taken simultaneously to boost effects. Placing them in the pill machine for disciples to exchange was good. As for various martial techniques, they could be used to fill numbers, exchanging from the Technique Pavilion for impressive martial studies.
After handling everything, Jun Changxiao stopped before the transmission gate.
He turned to look at that gray firmament, and the large city-level outpost he had painstakingly built. “I’ll occasionally come back to look around.”
“Swish!”
His entire person instantly disappeared.
If the planar warriors saw this, they would definitely breathe a long sigh of relief.
Because that terrifying demon finally left, finally no longer focused on the battlefield. Everyone could live without constantly being on edge in the future!
…
An ancient altar permeated with vine branches and leaves.
A white-haired elder holding a staff knelt on the ground as if conducting some kind of prayer.
“Hum!”
Suddenly, the Five Elements Eight Trigrams-like pattern before him lightly flashed.
The white-haired elder opened his eyes. Seeing the text above, his expression changed drastically. “Omen of calamity!”
The camera extended from the altar outward, then from an aerial view, revealed this was an island surrounded by endless ocean on all sides. In very distant waters, a lone boat was struggling forward.
“You two.”
The helmsman smiled. “We’ve successfully passed the violent wind zone. As long as we continue east, we can reach Eastern Sea Yuzhou in two months.”
Young Master Yuan, sitting in the boat cabin looking at the scenery of heaven and sea meeting in the distance, thought secretly to himself, “As long as I stay far from that guy, even navigating for two years doesn’t matter.”
…
Eternal Ancient Sect.
After returning in a weakened state, Jun Changxiao didn’t immediately enter the Spacetime Secret Realm, instead inquiring about recent events in the jianghu.
Li Luoqiu said, “The two thousand powerhouses who went to the planar battlefield all returned safely. The entire continent thoroughly boiled over.”
“As expected,” Jun Changxiao said.
“However…”
Li Luoqiu said rather speechlessly, “Internal chaos erupted in major families across various provinces. The reason is, many powerhouses who went to the battlefield transmitted the family head position to descendants. Some people usurped power.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao was also speechless.
“Moreover,” Li Luoqiu said, “Many powerhouses’ successors, without their master’s supervision, started letting themselves go—drinking and making merry all day, not thinking of advancement.”
“So to speak,” Jun Changxiao said, “This planar battlefield trip made many powerhouses understand many principles.”
“Right.”
Li Luoqiu said, “Little Mo already broke through to Martial Emperor.”
“This is good news,” Jun Dog Sheng said with a smile. “It also shows the Supreme Profound Saint Sect has some capability.”
Li Luoqiu added, “The bad news is, Supreme Profound Saint Sect upper echelon returned from the planar battlefield. Little Mo will probably find it hard to reach elder position.”
“Tell him.”
Jun Changxiao said, “If it really doesn’t work, just come back.”
With the Eternal Ancient Sect’s current strength, they could directly bring people to demand justice. So Su Xiaomo continuing as an undercover agent had already lost meaning.
Moreover, that Fang Lingyu had once humiliated his own disciple. So regardless of whatever conflict existed between him and Lu Qianqian, arrangements must be made.
…
Supreme Profound Saint Sect.
Su Xiaomo, who had emerged from seclusion in the Ten Complete Spirit Control Tower a few days ago, sat cross-legged in his room.
He had already learned that the Sect Master told him not to force it—if he should return, then return. He was currently caught in a dilemma.
Should he return to the Eternal Ancient Sect or not?
“No way!”
Su Xiaomo thought to himself, “I haven’t yet reached elder level. If I return like this, what face would I have to see fellow sect members!”
“Sect Master.”
Li Luoqiu said, “Little Mo transmitted a message saying he plans to continue being undercover.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head. “This kid is addicted to the undercover game and can’t extricate himself.”
Since Su Xiaomo was willing to continue being undercover, he naturally wouldn’t object. After all, if the other party could reach upper echelon in the Supreme Profound Saint Sect, it proved his own leadership was effective.
“Bah!” the system said.
“Sect Master.”
Li Luoqiu said, “Many drifting bottles appeared again at the southeastern Shizhou seaside. All are distress letters written by Master Fan, marked extremely urgent.”
“Extremely urgent?”
Jun Changxiao interlaced his ten fingers, thinking to himself, “Obtained many equipment fragments from battlefield phantoms. Because they don’t belong to the ore category, they’re difficult to refine into equipment at the Forging Pavilion. If handed to Master Fan, should they turn waste into treasure?”
The system said, “If you want to go to Eastern Sea Yuzhou, just go. Must you find yourself an excuse?”
Jun Changxiao said seriously, “With an excuse, it becomes justified.”
