For Ye Xingchen, who cultivated the Supreme Mystery True Scripture, breaking through to Wuwang was quite normal. But Zhou Hong following closely behind to break through to Sword King was somewhat incredible.

One must know.

After taking the Sword Path Aptitude Liquid, he had just advanced to Seventh-Rank Sword Grandmaster.

Now in less than two months, he was about to advance to Sword King. Wasn’t the speed a bit too fast!

This had to do with cultivation methods.

The Sword Path differed from the Martial Path—everything relied on comprehension. If one day you understood or achieved enlightenment, rapid breakthroughs were no problem.

Zhou Hong’s sword path aptitude had improved under the modification liquid, and he had comprehended the Soaring Sword Divine Formula. In just two months, his understanding of the sword path had advanced by leaps and bounds, thus finding the opportunity to break through to Sword King!

Jun Changxiao was very happy.

Ye Xingchen breaking through to Wuwang and Zhou Hong breaking through to Sword King would definitely allow the sect’s strength to greatly increase.

“Whoosh whoosh—”

Two kingly auras crisscrossed above the Eternal Myriad Sect’s skies, their momentum tremendous, shocking the disciples.

Li Qingyang and others stuck at peak Wuzong gained enlightenment from the aura Ye Xingchen emanated. They all sat cross-legged to quietly comprehend, hoping to gain reference from it.

Half an hour later.

The Wuwang aura gradually retracted inward.

Situated in his quarters, Ye Xingchen opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth lifting in a slight smile as he thought: “This Emperor has today returned to Wuwang!”

Whoosh whoosh—

In an instant, magnificent kingly aura roared forth.

Jun Changxiao smiled: “Broken through.”

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others benefited to some degree from the martial path aura Ye Xingchen emanated. This would certainly help their own breakthroughs to Wuwang.

Just then.

The razor-sharp sword aura also began retracting inward. Zhou Hong smoothly advanced from Sword Grandmaster to Sword King!

Thus.

The Eternal Myriad Sect birthed one Wuwang and one Sword King.

On the same day, at the same time, two kings successively appeared. If this spread to the outside world, it would definitely stir up huge commotion!

“We can’t slack off either!”

Li Qingyang said: “Let’s strive to break through to Wuwang even faster!”

“Yes!”

Xiao Zuiji, Su Xiaomo and others weren’t discouraged by Junior Brother Ye’s breakthrough. Instead, they became even more determined to become stronger!

……

Ye Xingchen and Zhou Hong’s breakthroughs elevated the Eternal Myriad Sect’s strength to another level while also motivating the disciples to work even harder on martial path cultivation.

Just like this.

Another half month passed.

Yao Mengying advanced from Sixth-Rank Wushi to Ninth-Rank Wushi. Her improvement speed could be called super fast.

Of course.

No matter how fast, she couldn’t be faster than He Wudi.

This fellow remained as low-key as if he didn’t exist, but his realm kept rising. Over these two-plus months, he’d actually advanced to peak Wuzong!

With heaven-defying aptitude plus the sect’s various resource supplements, if he didn’t take off, it would really be a waste of his super-divine grade spiritual root.

Of course.

The Eternal Myriad Sect disciples’ cultivation levels were also improving overall, especially those newly enrolled academy students. With good aptitude, their improvement speed was particularly noticeable.

For example, Jing Wugou.

Before joining, he had just advanced to Wuzong. Now he’d already reached Fifth-Rank level.

Chu Xiunan, Huo Ling and others couldn’t compare to their senior’s monstrosity, but relying on Spirit Tempering Pills and the third floor of the Training Tower, they’d all smoothly crossed into Wuzong.

With the Eternal Myriad Sect’s current overall strength, if True Yang Commandery sent a large army to attack again, they’d definitely be thoroughly beaten.

Zhuo Chaoqun, who’d been thrashed by Little Dragon, currently had no courage to trouble Qingyang Commandery and was honestly managing his own territory.

……

“Too slow!”

Finishing cultivation in the Spirit Gathering Array, Jun Changxiao sat in his study, hands holding his head, eyes full of despair.

During this time, the disciples had cultivated like raging fire, their realms rising like a tide, but he was still at Third-Rank with no substantial progress.

Sect Master Jun wasn’t worried about his realm being surpassed by disciples, but rather—as a sect master, if his strength couldn’t rise, how could he face the dangers that could appear at any time in the future!

“Hurry up and give me a mission!”

“Hurry up and give me some rewards!”

Jun Changxiao so hoped a mission would appear. After completing it, he’d be given N Experience Talismans to rapidly break through to peak Sword-Martial Dual King, then trigger an epic mission and smoothly advance to Sword-Martial Dual Emperor!

“Dream on.” The System said.

Jun Changxiao said: “If there’s really no other way, I can only…”

Swish!

He opened the System panel, clicked on his name, and gritted his teeth: “Exchange contribution points for experience points!”

Back when he was still in the Meridian Opening stage, he’d used this function. His 47 contribution points had been directly cleared, and his cultivation advanced from Meridian Opening Seventh Stage to Meridian Opening Tenth Stage.

At that time, no matter how many contribution points, they would all be cleared.

Now with continuous system upgrades, there was better refinement—he could input a certain value to exchange for experience points.

No missions, no Experience Talismans.

Cultivating step by step was really too slow.

Jun Changxiao had no choice but to consider using this method to rapidly improve!

The System said: “Using contribution points to exchange for experience points is very uneconomical. The host should think thrice before acting.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Anyway, I don’t lack anything now. I’ll just exchange the remainder first.”

Saying this, he raised the exchange experience points amount to 2991 points, then clicked the [Exchange] button.

“Ding! Contribution Points 10000/20000.”

When 2991 contribution points disappeared, magnificent spiritual energy immediately surged within the two spiritual cores in Jun Changxiao’s dantian. That feeling was just like crushing an Experience Talisman!

Come on.

Break through.

Become even stronger!

Screech—

Just as Jun Changxiao was preparing to welcome the breakthrough, the spiritual energy in his dantian suddenly calmed down, and his realm remained stuck at Third-Rank level.

“What the hell!”

He held his head, going crazy: “So many contribution points and still didn’t break through!”

The System said: “I just told you that using this method to exchange contribution points is uneconomical, but the host just wouldn’t listen.”

“Sigh.”

Jun Changxiao sighed.

However, when he continued cultivating, he joyfully realized that what originally required nearly two months to break through now seemingly only needed about ten days to achieve.

This meant that although those 3000-plus contribution points didn’t raise him one rank, they greatly reduced his cultivation time.

“Not a loss, not a loss.” Jun Changxiao consoled himself.

The System muttered: “Nearly 3000 contribution points used on refreshing might have yielded good items.”

……

Jun Changxiao continued focusing his thoughts on cultivation. Sure enough, over ten days later, the two spiritual cores in his dantian became completely saturated, and his realm smoothly advanced from Third-Rank to Fourth-Rank!

Counting the time.

He’d already been cultivating for over two months.

Not only had he consumed large quantities of martial path resources, he’d also spent so many contribution points. Breaking through one rank truly wasn’t easy!

Don’t look at how slowly Sect Master Jun improved—as long as he rose one rank, his strength improvement was very significant!

Boom!

In the training room, one punch struck the testing machine, revealing a power value of—7 million catties!

“Excellent, excellent!”

Jun Changxiao smiled with satisfaction.

When he’d just broken through to First-Rank, his power was 3 million. At Second-Rank, it was only 4 million.

Now, advancing two consecutive ranks to reach 7 million meant his power increase was no longer just 1 million increments.

The System said: “This is because the host took Spirit Tempering Pills.”

Jun Changxiao said proudly: “Among King-level martial artists, who can compete with me?”

“None.”

The System said: “Unless it’s higher-level Wuhuang.”

Jun Changxiao leaped up, landing on the great hall, raising his head to sing: “Invincibility is so lonely…”

Swish—

A soccer ball exploded toward him.

“Bang!”

Jun Changxiao punched it back. The ball flew in the opposite direction with precision, striking Li Fei’s face, after which he heard Li Fei’s “Ahhh!” as he spectacularly flew from the outer courtyard and landed at the mountain’s base.

“Hahaha!”

Su Xiaomo laughed gleefully.

Especially Chu Xiunan, Huo Ling and others who had suffered under Li Fei’s torment—they laughed until they bent forward and backward, laughed until tears came out.

“Sect Master.”

Li Luoqiu emerged from Drizzle Hall, looking up: “We just received intelligence. We’re about to have trouble.”

“Trouble?”
