Jiying Realm.

A relatively high-level plane.

At this moment, Jun Changxiao followed Sang Chengtian here to temporarily stay and smoothly learn about their local customs, as well as knowledge regarding martial paths and medicinal ingredients.

First was the realm divisions.

This universe divided into three types: Human Law Realm, Earth Law Realm, and the highest, Heaven Law Realm.

Each realm had early stage, middle stage, and peak.

It was said that reaching above peak Heaven Law Realm, one could glimpse entering the Land of Eternal Life.

“So to speak.”

Jun Changxiao said, “My current strength equals peak Heaven Law Realm?”

Of course,

Lintian Domain had many other realms.

But before Gou Sheng, they really couldn’t make the grade, so they won’t be elaborated on.

In summary, the three levels of Human, Earth, and Heaven corresponded to the Eternal Domain’s Core Rotation Realm, Truth Seeking Realm, and Heavenly Mystery Realm.

Other universes should be similar—randomly chosen names with similar effects.

Regarding this,

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

What use were fancy names? Might as well simply divide into levels 1-999—more straightforward.

“So…”

The system roared, “This is his reason for dividing the Eternal Domain into numerical levels!”

As mentioned before, Jun Changxiao integrated the upper universe and redivided the realms—yes, using the simplest numerical levels from 1 to 999.

No fancy names, no tedious subdivisions of upper, middle, and lower—just numerical levels.

According to Gou Sheng’s realm system, he was already level 999 in the Eternal Domain—a maxed-out account. Without opening new maps or dungeons, he was absolutely invincible.

As for the Eternal Sect’s high-level and core disciples, most hovered around level 800, still some time away from max level.

A perfectly good domain

Had been turned into an online game.

No wonder the system couldn’t help but rant and roar.

However, what was even more devastating was the division of medicinal ingredients and treasures, also using numerical classification from levels 1-999.

It wasn’t hard to imagine

That years from now, Eternal Domain martial artists meeting would ask, “Bro, what level are you? What level equipment are you carrying?”

“Not much to brag about.”

“Level 666, weapon 666, treasure 666.”

“Awesome, awesome, awesome!”

Or for instance, some institution announcing they’d researched a brand-new pill that could greatly enhance spiritual qi absorption, rated as level 888.

This art style—just thinking about it was exasperating.

Jun Changxiao was serious when serious, super serious. When being shameless, he was super shameless.

…

“Senior.”

Sang Chengtian stood before the study, carefully examining the medicinal ingredients recorded on the prescription, then said awkwardly, “This junior hasn’t researched medicinal ingredients much and truly doesn’t know what’s recorded above.”

Jun Changxiao was dismayed.

A Heaven Law Realm level expert who knew nothing about medicinal ingredients.

“Does anyone in your realm know?” Jun Changxiao didn’t give up.

“Uh…”

Sang Chengtian said, “Senior, please wait a moment. This junior will immediately summon masters proficient in medicinal ingredients.”

Having already regarded Jun Changxiao as Qiankun Zhenren, he naturally didn’t dare neglect him and summoned all of Jiying Realm’s medicinal ingredient masters as quickly as possible.

In no time,

Thirty of them had gathered in the elegant courtyard.

From their ages, attire, and the strong medicinal scent emanating from them, one could guess they were definitely experts in both pill and medicine paths.

“What’s going on?”

“Don’t know?”

“Why did Senior Sang summon us out of the blue?”

Everyone was rather bewildered.

Though Sang Chengtian wasn’t the Realm Lord of Jiying Realm, he was still one of its most authoritative peak experts. Being summoned by him now felt somewhat flattering.

“Senior!”

Just then, Sang Chengtian bowed toward the room. “All the pill masters of my realm have arrived!”

Everyone’s eyes widened.

A peak expert like Senior Sang actually called someone else “Senior” and acted so deferential—if they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe!

“Creak!”

The door suddenly opened, and a voice came, “Come in.”

“Yes!”

Sang Chengtian turned back and gave the pill masters a look.

Everyone hastily walked in carefully, their hearts constantly wondering who could be in the room.

Holy crap!

A young man?

After the thirty-plus pill masters entered and clearly saw Jun Changxiao sitting in the chair with eyes closed in meditation, their expressions immediately became interesting.

From his skin and complexion, he was definitely under a hundred years old.

Could such a young man deserve to be called “Senior” by Sang Chengtian?

Though everyone had doubts, they still acted respectfully.

“Children.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Let them see the prescription.”

“…”

Senior Sang must be at least ten thousand years old, yet he’s calling them children!

“Yes!”

Sang Chengtian took out the prescription. “Come look and see if you recognize any of the medicinal ingredients recorded above. If you find them or provide leads, this old man will reward you handsomely!”

Hearing “reward handsomely,” the pill masters’ eyes immediately lit up, and they swarmed around the table.

“This…”

After looking, they all froze.

The pill masters present all had thousands of years of experience, but they’d never seen, much less heard of, the medicinal ingredients recorded above.

From their facial expressions, Jun Changxiao naturally perceived this, and his heart couldn’t help feeling disappointed.

Sigh.

Was having a child this difficult!

“Senior Sang…” one pill master said bitterly, “We all know nothing of the medicinal ingredients recorded above.”

“Useless!”

Sang Chengtian roared.

“Forget it, forget it.”

Jun Changxiao waved his hand. “These medicinal ingredients are too rare. Very few in the world know of them. Can’t blame them.”

“Please rest assured, Senior.”

Sang Chengtian said, “This junior will definitely spare no effort to investigate these medicinal ingredients for you.”

Jiying Realm was a relatively traditional martial world. In the Thirty-Second Universe, there were many worlds focused on pills and medicines—perhaps leads could be found there.

“No rush.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Take your time.”

For this trip to find medicinal ingredients, he’d prepared for a protracted campaign, so his mentality was quite relaxed.

…

In the following days, Jun Changxiao brought Hua Meigui to tour Jiying Realm, experiencing different customs and appreciating the wondrous scenery created by nature.

They’d lived this carefree life for a thousand years. The couple not only didn’t find it boring but enjoyed it immensely.

A sect master and sect master’s wife who didn’t manage the sect and only cared about sightseeing—one really felt sorrow for Deputy Sect Master Yuan Feng.

One day,

While leisurely fishing by the lakeside, Jun Changxiao suddenly sensed numerous powerful auras from across the universe rushing toward Jiying Realm. He smiled. “They came this quickly?”

Impersonating a legendary Lintian Domain expert would definitely cause a sensation and attract many powers.

“Perfect timing.”

Jun Changxiao reeled in his line. “I can inquire about medicinal ingredients.”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Before long, the space above Jiying Realm gradually distorted. Streams of light and warships rushed in like they were in a hurry to be reborn.

“What’s happening!”

The plane’s martial artists were all stunned.

Living and cultivating as usual, when suddenly a large group of martial artists poured in, emanating formidable auras—this was truly bewildering.

“The Realm Lord of Tianying Realm!”

“The Realm Lord of Haoying Realm!”

“The Realm Lord of Longying Realm!”

“The Realm Lord of Haoying Realm!”

“Hiss!”

As people successively recognized the arrivals’ appearances, they were shocked beyond measure.

These were all peak figures of Lintian Domain! Why would they suddenly come to Jiying Realm? Had someone provoked major trouble and been collectively targeted by the entire universe?

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Just as everyone was alarmed, a vast and profound aura emerged, instantly enveloping the entire plane and completely stabilizing the restless space.

Jiying Realm had an upper limit for what it could bear.

With so many big-shot experts suddenly arriving, it naturally couldn’t withstand it.

Jun Changxiao, however, used his heaven-reaching cultivation to anchor the world system. Even though more powers continued to pour in one after another, they still couldn’t shake it in the slightest.

This move truly shocked the experts from various planes. Originally still somewhat skeptical, they immediately dismissed their doubts, obediently retracted their outward-radiating auras, and all bowed together. “Greetings, Senior Qiankun!”

So many realm lords from Lintian Domain gathering at Jiying Realm and paying respects to Jun Changxiao sitting by the lakeside—the scene was simply too shocking!

“Everyone.”

Jun Changxiao stood up, hands behind his back. “Please come down for a discussion.”

Very composed, very dignified.

Hard to imagine this was the great scoundrel who’d led the Eternal Domain astray.
