“Starry Sky Fortress…”
Jun Changxiao sat in the study, deep in thought.
The bald guy had mentioned there was an underground black market there that sold quite a few treasures.
Now, with the purchase of Scroll Five failing because it was sealed in the fortress, didn’t that just confirm what the other party said?
Jun Changxiao said, “I’ll find time to go take a look.”
The System mocked, “The host is doing this for the 20,000 contribution points.”
“Would I care about such a small amount of contribution points?” Jun Changxiao said arrogantly.
“Fine.”
The System said, “When the Space-Time Secret Realm cooldown recovers and you enter to accelerate the title cooldown, please spend 10,000 contribution points first to change it.”
Jun Changxiao fell into contemplation.
“Ptui!”
…
Whether for the contribution points or Scroll Five, Jun Changxiao decided to find time to visit the Starry Sky Fortress, so for now he could only wait for the secret realm cooldown to refresh to counteract the side effects.
“Sect Master!”
One day, Master Fan excitedly transmitted his voice: “Success! I’ve succeeded in the reformation!”
Jun Changxiao headed to the Casting Hall, and as soon as he walked in, he immediately sensed an immensely powerful aura surging toward him.
“Whoa!”
The next second, Dog Sheng’s eyes widened.
On the casting platform sat a gold-rimmed shield with special patterns carved on its surface—clearly an ultra-luxurious piece of equipment!
Fan Yezi introduced, “Sect Master, this is Xiao Zuiji’s Cloud Boat Chivalrous Shadow. After reformation, it transformed from pot form to shield form, and its defensive capabilities have been greatly enhanced!”
“Really?”
Jun Changxiao grabbed the shield with one hand and used all his strength but couldn’t lift it, only then realizing he was in his weakened period, so he shook his head and said, “Notify Zuiji and have him come verify the goods.”
…
“Boom!”
A thunderous sound suddenly erupted from the Eternal Sect’s main peak martial arts arena.
The disciples who came to watch had their eyes wide open, because through the flying dust, an extremely heavy-looking great shield gradually appeared.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
An aura as thick and heavy as the earth surged forth, immediately making them realize this was definitely a treasure with extremely strong defense!
“Swish!”
Just then, Xiao Zuiji flew over from the distance.
He floated down before the gold-rimmed shield, placed both hands on the edge, and shouted loudly, “Come on!”
“Step! Step! Step!”
Su Xiaomo, Li Fei, Tian Qi, Long Ziyang, Song Xuanzhou, and other core disciples appeared at the martial arts arena, forming a line.
Sitting before the great hall, Jun Changxiao waved his hand and said, “Go!”
“Swish! Swish!”
The disciples exchanged glances, then charged from different positions simultaneously. Fist prints, palm prints, foot prints, and butt prints filled the air as they bombarded the reformed Cloud Boat Chivalrous Shadow.
“Bang!”
Xiao Zuiji waved his large hand, lifting the gold-rimmed shield as heavy as a mountain. The patterns carved on its surface seemed to manifest ancient fierce beasts that roared at the incoming forces while beating their chests.
“Boom boom boom!”
“Boom boom boom!”
In an instant, the martial arts arena filled with flashing lights as violent energy exploded wildly.
Fortunately, before the battle began, Zhen Dejun had already set up high-level defensive barriers around the area, so it didn’t affect the disciples outside.
“My heavens!”
“The senior disciples are too strong!”
Watching the dazzling lights inside, everyone was shocked speechless.
Li Qingyang, who hadn’t participated, stood before them and said, “When they first joined the sect, their strength wasn’t as good as yours. So as long as you cultivate diligently, you’ll become strong one day.”
“Second Senior Brother!”
Everyone said in unison, “We understand!”
“Qingyang is still the sensible one.” Jun Changxiao sat before the great hall with a smile on his face, but seeing the cold-faced eldest disciple in the distance, he shook his head and said, “When will she become enlightened?”
Among all these disciples, the ones who worried him most were still Lu Qianqian and Ye Xingchen, because one had a cold personality and the other an aloof personality—both constantly out of sync with the sect’s cheerful atmosphere.
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The bombardment sounds from the martial arts arena pulled Jun Changxiao back to reality. He turned to look and saw that Xiao Zuiji had easily neutralized all of Su Xiaomao and the others’ various forces.
“This strong?”
Dog Sheng was somewhat surprised.
You had to know, the core disciples sent out were completely equal to Xiao Zuiji in terms of realm. If they were on Xingyun Continent fighting others at the same level, they could definitely fight many with few, yet now working together they couldn’t break through his defense!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
The battle continued.
It wasn’t until they’d fought for over an hour that Xiao Zuiji staggered back to the edge of the martial arts arena carrying his shield and said, “No more, I can’t keep going!”
“Huff! Huff!”
Su Xiaomo bent over with both hands on his knees, breathing somewhat rapidly as he said, “Junior brother, your shield’s defense is too strong!”
Li Fei, Tian Qi, and the others were also exhausted.
A group of prodigies fighting for so long had only managed to push Xiao Zuiji back. On the continent or Plane Battlefield, he would truly be an impregnable mobile fortress.
“Zuiji.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Are you satisfied?”
“Satisfied! Satisfied!”
Xiao Zuiji lovingly caressed the second form of Cloud Boat Chivalrous Shadow, his face full of smiles.
Not only was his exclusive divine armament’s defense stronger, but he’d also shed the great pot form—he’d never have to be laughed at as the Pot-Carrier again!
I!
Am now the Shield-Carrier!
…
“What?”
Ye Xingchen said, “This was reformed from your big pot?”
“Yes.”
Xiao Zuiji nodded.
“Swish!”
Ye Xingchen immediately went to the main peak to find Jun Changxiao and said, “Sect Master, can this disciple’s exclusive divine armament be reformed?”
As a person of status and reputation, having to carry a wine jar whenever fighting truly damaged his image. Since Xiao Zuiji could make changes, his could definitely work too!
“Don’t worry, don’t worry.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Hall Master Fan is currently reforming it.”
And so, Ye Xingchen began anxiously waiting until several days later when he stood dumbstruck in the Casting Hall, because after reformation, Lifeless Sacrifice to Heaven’s form had changed from a wine jar to a wine gourd!
What the hell!
My exclusive divine armament can’t escape its connection to the word ‘wine,’ can it?!
Lifeless Sacrifice to Heaven’s form had changed, and so had its function. Before, it went over the head; now the gourd mouth enlarged to envelop the entire person inside for dissolution.
“A Niu.”
Jun Changxiao said solemnly, “Your exclusive divine armament was originally called Purple-Gold Red Gourd, originating from a strand of immortal vine at the foot of Kunlun Mountain, obtained and preserved by our Eternal Sect’s predecessors until now.”
“…”
Ye Xingchen’s mouth twitched as he said, “Sect Master, this is clearly white jade colored!”
“It’s ancient—the color faded.” Jun Changxiao explained.
“…”
Ye Xingchen began to doubt his words.
However, after testing its power and discovering it could also be used to bash people, his face immediately showed a ‘how fragrant’ expression.
Xiao Zuiji and Pei A Niu’s divine armaments underwent reformation with changes in form—at least they didn’t look as comical and ridiculous anymore.
However, when Fan Yezi finished reforming Li Qingyang’s Heaven-Slaying Thunder Marks, the form remained exactly the same as before, though the power and strength were greatly enhanced.
“Sigh.”
The System sighed and said, “From this you can see that Second Disciple is the most normal.”
…
The endless universe.
The powerful cultivators from the fortress who were responsible for investigating the Star Space Five Overlords’ disappearance were currently on a ship heading this way.
