Refreshing the supreme item left Jun Changxiao with mixed feelings.

Joy because he only refreshed once, worry because this thing definitely wouldn’t be cheap.

“Whew!”

Taking a deep breath, he clicked on the item, revealing the price—50,000 contribution points.

“This cheap?”

Jun Changxiao was instantly a bit stunned.

The supreme item rewarded from completing the previous mission required 100,000 contribution points. How come this one was cut in half?

The system said: “Supreme items have levels of quality. The more expensive the price, the better the items that come out.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao was speechless.

The more money you spend, the more you get—how utterly materialistic.

“I’m still holding back thirty thousand contribution points for the host. Do you want me to release them now?”

“Obviously!”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 68990/100000.”

Jun Changxiao didn’t even consider it before buying the supreme item, then merged it into his spatial ring. Standing before the mysterious gift box-like object, he silently prayed: “Tathagata Buddha, Jade Emperor, Guanyin Bodhisattva, please bless me!”

“Snap!”

His palm touched it, rippling with golden light.

“Swoosh!”

In an instant, Jun Changxiao’s soul body seemed to experience a thousand reincarnations, then found itself in a void and ethereal space.

“What place is this?”

“Buzz buzz buzz!”

Suddenly, Jun Changxiao discovered strange patterns appearing out of thin air beneath his feet, then spreading in all directions, instantly forming a pentagonal shape with himself right at the center.

From the drawn pattern, it seemed like some kind of ritual sacrifice.

“They’re not going to use me as a sacrifice, are they?”

“Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!”

As he was thinking, energy clusters of different colors appeared out of thin air in the five corners of the area.

“Handsome young man.”

Suddenly, an aged voice rippled through the space: “Since you have a physique related to the Five Elements, the Heavenly Spirit Great Formation has gathered five spirit seeds, corresponding to metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. You may choose any one.”

The speech was very slow, making one want to punch someone.

“Five spirit seeds?”

Only then did Jun Changxiao discover that the energy clusters existing in the five areas corresponded exactly to the Five Elements colors, so he said earnestly: “Only children make choices—I want all five.”

“You can only choose one.”

“…”

“Once you’ve chosen, walk over and fuse with it.”

After brief consideration, Jun Changxiao walked toward the attribute that looked like a cluster of flames.

The Dark Demon King still needed refining, so he needed fire attribute representing extreme yang and righteousness.

“Step!”

He stopped before the fire attribute.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

Scorching heat waves rushed toward him.

Jun Changxiao instantly determined that this attribute was stronger than any fire seed he controlled.

“This is the Fire Soul Spirit.”

The aged voice came: “Among the top in the mortal universe.”

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao reached out to grab it.

However, before he could touch it, the Fire Soul Spirit seemed to sense him and instantly transformed into a fire rope coiling around his wrist.

“Ah——”

The moment the flame contacted his skin, a pain like roasting his soul came, making Jun Changxiao scream in agony with a pained expression.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

The spirit seeds in the other four areas disappeared, and the entire space was instantly shrouded in overwhelming flames.

“Ah!”

“Ah ah ah!”

The scorching burning sensation filled his entire body and even soul, making Jun Changxiao standing in the sea of fire raise his head and scream, his entire face becoming grotesque.

When fusing with the Holy Flame Body, he had experienced similar painful torment, but this time was more terrifying, more unforgettable!

Half an hour later.

The scorching temperature gradually decreased, and Jun Changxiao struggled to stand up again.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

The flames permeating the space suddenly became restless.

Jun Changxiao felt no pain, but rather established an affinity with the scorching flames.

“Come!”

He spread both hands wide.

“Swoosh! Swoosh!”

The scorching flames seemed to transform into excited children, rushing to fuse into Jun Changxiao’s body, then gathering at his dantian in a vortex shape. Until all the attributes in the space were absorbed, it actually evolved into an embryonic form.

“Handsome young man.”

The aged voice rang out: “The Fire Soul Spirit resides in your body as an initial embryo. As long as you carefully nurture it, it will grow stronger and stronger, until it gestates into an infant form.”

“Swoosh!”

Jun Changxiao’s vision went black, and he suddenly returned to reality.

“…”

He was silent for a moment, then looked inward at his dantian, seeing the embryo only the size of a small fingernail, and collapsed: “What the hell!”

The system said: “Congratulations, host—you’re pregnant.”

“Thud!”

Jun Changxiao directly fell to the ground, his eyelids rolling upward desperately.

…

The third supreme item didn’t give never-wearing clothing, nor did it give a special secret realm, but let Jun Changxiao choose one of five to obtain the Fire Soul Spirit, which also gathered into an embryo in his dantian, making it feel like being pregnant.

“What kind of garbage is this!”

Dog Sheng became irritable.

As a grown man, it was hard to accept having an embryo in his belly!

The system said irritably: “You also have a pile of spirit cores in your dantian—aren’t those also like embryos? How come the host wasn’t this depressed about those.”

“Snap!”

Jun Changxiao’s right hand formed a fist and slammed into his left palm: “That makes sense!”

His depression and irritation instantly vanished.

The system collapsed: “If I’d known one sentence would convince him, I shouldn’t have opened my mouth!”

“What changes do I have now?”

After calming down, Jun Changxiao began comprehensively looking inward at his body. He soon discovered that under that scorching burning earlier, his meridians, blood vessels, and other aspects had all been greatly enhanced, becoming more resilient than before.

“Swish!”

Opening his palm, a cluster of scorching flames appeared.

“This is the Fire Soul Spirit?” Jun Changxiao shook his head: “It looks like it’s only slightly stronger than my Purple Profound Holy Fire and Heavenly Spirit Blue Flame.”

“Please.”

The system said: “It just gestated.”

“Moreover.”

“Those divine-grade fire seeds in your body have no development potential unless your realm improves, so how can they compare to this just-sprouted Fire Soul Spirit?”

“That’s true.”

Jun Changxiao said: “Let me try using this fire to purify the Dark Demon King.”

…

The bottom level of Tianyuan Prison Suppression Pagoda.

Jun Changxiao and Er Ya’s faces appeared in the frame, displaying hair-raising smiles.

The suspended Dark Demon King’s voice trembled as it pleaded: “Ancestor, Great-Aunt… I was wrong, I was really wrong…”

“Ah ah!”

“Ah ah ah——”

Screams echoed clearly throughout the entire nine-level prison.

Although the prisoners were already accustomed to it, every time they heard that nearly ghost-wailing scream, they still broke out in cold sweat.

Several hours later.

The Dark Demon King lay on the ground like mud, its body occasionally twitching slightly—utterly miserable.

This evil spirit that had successively destroyed several planes and slaughtered billions upon billions deserved whatever torment it received, fully deserved its punishment.

“Wow!”

Er Ya exclaimed in surprise: “Master, what fire did you just summon? In such a short time it purified so much of that guy’s evil energy!”

“Fire Soul Spirit.” Jun Changxiao said.

Hearing this, the Dark Demon King being tortured to the point of wishing for death slightly opened its eyes showing shock, thinking miserably: “My life is nearly over!”
