“Boom!”
In front of the mountain gate, an explosive sound suddenly rang out, and powerful energy ripples spread outward.
Jun Changxiao withdrew his fist, looking at the barrier wall that remained without the slightest fluctuation despite his powerful bombardment. He said with satisfaction, “Truly very strong.”
Zhen Dejun said, “As long as the nine formations continuously provide reinforcement, the Nine Stars Embracing the Moon Grand Formation can withstand extremely powerful force bombardment.”
“Excellent, excellent.”
Jun Changxiao gave high praise. The feeling of insecurity that had originally risen also dissipated considerably.
As long as the sect’s defense was strong enough, when going out to act wild, at least he didn’t need to worry about the base being stolen by others.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao raised his fist, planning to come again.
Zhen Dejun hastily stopped him, “Sect Leader, that one punch just now already consumed one hundred thousand spirit stones from the main formation!”
“Holy crap!”
Jun Changxiao collapsed, “Is it that exaggerated!”
When the Nine Stars Embracing the Moon Grand Formation operated normally, it wouldn’t consume energy. But once it bore attacks, it would counteract according to strength.
One punch blasting away one hundred thousand natural spirit stones sent waves of stabbing pain through Dog Leftover’s heart.
“Forget it.”
Jun Changxiao gave up his plan to continue testing, then returned to the study and said, “Now, I’ll just wait for the disciples to complete all the sect quests, upgrade the sect construction, and activate more functions.”
“Right!”
“What functions are there after level 9?”
“Swish!”
He opened the System panel and clicked on the sect functions, only to discover that at the very bottom was just the character “None.”
“What does that mean?” Jun Changxiao said.
The System said, “Very simple. There are no more sect functions after this.”
“No way?”
Jun Changxiao looked utterly collapsed.
The Knife of Difficult Reception, the Talisman of Heaven and Earth—these trump cards were merely used to enhance himself.
The various functions given by construction upgrades were the key to the sect’s strength. There would be no higher-level ones in the future!
The System mocked, “Didn’t the host want to rely on himself?”
“…”
“Ding! Disciple Ye Xingchen completed a sect quest, obtaining 100 contribution points and 100 achievement points.”
“Ding! Sect contribution points: 70100/70000.”
“Ding! Sect achievement points: 20110/70000.”
“Ding! Sect contribution points overflow…”
Hearing the notification sound, Jun Changxiao shook his head, “Finally completed one!”
Sect quests that gave achievement points had appeared half a month ago. Because the higher the level, the higher the difficulty, disciples took quite a long time to complete them.
Moreover, there were many incomprehensible quests.
For example, the one Ye Xingchen did required continuously entering the Training Pagoda for a fixed number of days to complete.
Was it difficult?
For Emperor Ye, not at all, but it was too damn time-consuming.
Su Xiaomo’s quest was even more bizarre—traveling the Xingyun Continent for 30 days.
At this moment, he was currently touring landscapes with his fiancée Xia Shuiyun, appreciating the beautiful mountains and rivers.
Li Qingyang also took a quest requiring him to go to the Northeast Luzhou.
Little Han Village.
Sister Qiao stood in the village like a winter plum, a pair of clear eyes looking toward outside the village entrance at the man wearing Eternal Sect uniform. The two simultaneously revealed smiles.
To avoid spreading dog food to readers, the second and third disciples’ quests won’t be elaborated further.
In short.
The higher the sect construction level, the more bizarre the sect quests.
Eternal Sect disciples completing them wasn’t really a problem. Mainly it just required consuming time.
“Swish!”
Jun Changxiao’s thoughts moved, and he skillfully pulled out the high-tier shop.
If all sect quests were completed, they would reward 70,000 achievement points and contribution points, so he needed to spend them in advance, leaving enough space to hold them.
“If you have the guts, don’t use the shop. If you have the guts, rely on yourself.” The System jumped out again.
“Alright then.”
Jun Changxiao withdrew the high-tier shop and said calmly, “From now on, I, Jun Changxiao, will never spend again!”
“…”
After a brief silence, the System said, “Bro, I was wrong!”
Its normal operation until now all relied on Jun Changxiao spending contribution points. If he didn’t spend anymore, the situation would definitely be very bad.
“Do you have no shame?”
“I have no face.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao was defeated by this guy and could only pull out the high-tier shop again, beginning to carefully browse the items inside. He thought to himself, “Best if a Half-Saint Pill or Wusheng Pill formula or something could come.”
“Why not wish for a Wudi Pill to directly help the host ascend to the Upper Realm? Achieve the peak of life?” The System said.
I!
Can admit mistakes!
But I still have to mock when I should!
“Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation?”
Jun Changxiao’s gaze locked onto an item, then clicked to open the detailed introduction.
Item: Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation.
Introduction: A formation jointly executed by multiple people cooperating, with a maximum of ten thousand people forming it.
Advantages: Martial artists jointly set up the formation, forming both offense and defense, thereby achieving the goals of surrounding and annihilating targets.
Disadvantages: Formation participants’ cultivation cannot be lower than Wuhuang realm.
Price: 50,000 contribution points.
Grade: Above Divine Grade.
“No way.”
Jun Changxiao said in astonishment, “One formation is this expensive?”
However, seeing the grade, he said with great joy, “Must be a good thing!”
The Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation was very different from the Nine Stars Embracing the Moon Grand Formation, because the latter was fixed type, while the former was based on people.
Just like the Wudang Sect’s Seven Stars Sword Formation, the Shaolin Temple’s Eighteen Bronze Men Formation.
The Eternal Sect didn’t lack fixed-type formations, but precisely lacked this kind of people-based joint formation, and it was even above Divine Grade level!
“So.”
The System said, “The host still needs to rely on the shop. Isn’t your face slapped!”
“Get lost.”
Jun Changxiao spent 50,000 contribution points to buy the Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation.
This formation was actually more like a martial arts manual. It described incantations and complex moves. After learning it and becoming a stepping madman, one could set it up.
“With a maximum of ten thousand people setting it up, the power must be terrifying!”
Jun Changxiao very much looked forward to the magnificent scene of disciples comprehending the Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation and then setting it up in the firmament!
…
That afternoon.
All disciples and high-level members who had reached Wuhuang cultivation level gathered at the main peak’s martial arts arena, then each received a copy of the Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation.
“This formation…”
He Wudi said in surprise, “Absolutely extraordinary!”
He had never cultivated a joint formation before, but just slightly leafing through it, he could glimpse the profound mysteries contained within. If set up by multiple people, the power would definitely be formidable!
Ye Xingchen also noticed it, but he appeared very disdainful.
Due to his personality, he preferred martial techniques that provided powerful force. He had zero interest in this kind of team-type formation.
However.
Since the sect leader said it must be cultivated, he could only reluctantly agree.
…
The Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation inherited the shop items’ consistent advantage of being simple and easy to understand. Moreover, the disciples who met the requirements all had decent talent, so comprehending it presented absolutely no difficulty.
“Second Senior Brother.”
A few days later, Su Xiaomo said excitedly, “I’ve learned it!”
“I’ve learned it too!” Li Fei said.
Jun Changxiao learned that disciples had all successfully comprehended the Four Directions Heaven and Earth Formation, so he chose a day to have them come to the main peak’s martial arts arena.
“Sect Leader.”
Li Qingyang said, “Everyone’s here.”
The numbers weren’t few—a full three to five hundred people.
“Mm.”
Jun Changxiao nodded, then transmitted, “Hall Master Zi, come here a moment.”
The Zilin Demon King, who had just entered the back mountain preparing to go to the Training Pagoda for training, halted. His brow furrowed as he said, “There’s an ominous premonition!”
Go?
Or not go?
