Having achieved dual Array-Martial Emperor status and stepped into the Mid-level Void Breaking Realm, Jun Changxiao had gotten a bit cocky and actually conceived the idea of proactively destroying the Starry Fortress.
“I support it!”
The System said: “Host, feel free to cause trouble boldly!”
It didn’t care whether Jun Changxiao could defeat the Twelve Patrol Envoys and the Fortress Master. It only cared that if he couldn’t win, he would definitely seek help from the shop and stimulate consumption of contribution points!
This guy hadn’t changed one bit after upgrading, truly disappointing Gou Sheng who had hidden in his room alone during that period, grieving in sadness and secretly wiping away tears.
“However.”
Jun Changxiao said: “How to deal with this Starry Fortress needs careful consideration and can’t be too reckless.”
“Swish!”
His soul merged into the spatial ring as he stood before the Supreme Product reward from Shi Shisan’s task, thinking to himself: “What good thing will this yield?”
His hand pressed against it.
“Ding! Opening the Supreme Product requires payment of 100,000 contribution points. Please choose—”
“【Yes】【No】”
Jun Changxiao roared: “This costs money too!”
The System said: “Because the host completed the main storyline task and the system entered comprehensive upgrade mode, the extra 200,000 contribution points were fortunately preserved, so do you really care about spending 100,000?”
“…”
After brief consideration, he still chose ‘Yes’.
“Ding! Host has opened the Supreme Product and obtained Initial Soul Bomb ×1. Already delivered to spatial ring.”
“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 200,000.”
Jun Changxiao’s expression froze, then gradually showed signs of collapse.
I fucking spent 100,000 contribution points and bought the bomb back again? To form a dual-channel explosive pack?
Jun Changxiao howled: “Are you going to let people play or not!”
The System said: “This Initial Soul Bomb has completely separated from the host. And because it was previously bound, you can freely set the time for detonation!”
“Really?”
Jun Changxiao hurriedly grabbed the brick-like bomb and indeed discovered there was no time display on it—only two red buttons. The left one had a ‘Timed’ notation, the right one had ‘Immediate’ notation.
“So it’s divided into timed and immediate.”
“Host, you’d better move your hand farther away. If you accidentally press the immediate one, that would be divine.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao immediately placed the bomb down steadily and flat, then roared again: “So you’re saying I spent 100,000 contribution points to buy a bomb? And I have to be careful not to trigger it?”
“You can use it to blow up the Starry Fortress.” The System said.
“What’s its power?”
“Please don’t question the value of a 100,000 contribution point bomb, and don’t question a Supreme Product!”
“…”
Jun Changxiao stood up, then put on his brilliant sunglasses, pressing both hands to his forehead and smoothing back his hair as he said: “Fine then, let’s go blow up the Starry Fortress!”
“Of course.”
The System said: “With the host’s current strength, you might not even need to use it.”
Gou Sheng loved hearing this.
After completing the Epic Task and Main Storyline Task, Jun Changxiao had reached the Mid-level Void Breaking Realm, and as a dual Array-Martial Emperor at that. Facing the Twelve Patrol Envoys of the same realm would definitely be no problem—he might not even need to use very strong trump cards.
So.
He dared to think about dealing with the Starry Fortress. Otherwise, he would definitely stay low and survive, getting rich through deliveries.
“Or should…”
Jun Changxiao thought to himself: “I go over and test things out first?”
His heart was very restless because after breaking through nearly a month ago, forget testing his true combat power—he didn’t even dare easily fully release his cultivation, fearing the Xingyun Continent couldn’t withstand it.
The Mid-level Void Breaking Realm already had the qualifications to ascend to the Upper Realm, so the mortal plane absolutely couldn’t contain this Dog Emperor.
“Wait first!”
Jun Changxiao suppressed the urge to immediately find a Patrol Envoy to battle and used the sect function to upgrade, elevating the Talisman Pavilion to enhanced version, then matching it with the Recycling Pavilion function.
This brand new function, as its name suggested, could recycle shop items that had lost their use and even had fixed prices.
For example, the Seal-Breaking Talisman.
After Jun Changxiao upgraded the Difficult to Accept Blade’s third form, he still had one left. Now it had no use whatsoever but could instead be exchanged for 10,000 contribution points.
“Exchange!”
“Ding! Recycled Seal-Breaking Talisman ×1, obtained 10,000 contribution points.”
“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 210,000.”
Jun Changxiao continued looking at the recycling catalog and instantly became wildly joyful, because pills and equipment crafted in the Pill Pavilion and Forging Pavilion could also be recycled!
Back in the day, he had crafted quite a few Initial Grade pills. Because the quantity was too large and disciples had all taken them, they were just sitting around. If he recycled them for contribution points, that would definitely be great!
However.
When he selected Initial Grade Qi Gathering Pills, he immediately became utterly dejected, because even pulling the value up to 10,000 only yielded 10 contribution points in exchange.
This might have been very helpful at the start, but now… it was just a drop in the bucket.
Moreover.
Using ten thousand Qi Gathering Pills to exchange for 10 contribution points—better to take them and sell them for martial arts resources.
The System said: “As long as there are sufficient materials for crafting pills and such, the host can completely use the Recycling Pavilion to infinitely farm contribution points.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes.
Indeed, he could infinitely farm contribution points using crafted low-level products, but with such a low exchange rate, even if he gathered all the continent’s resources in his hands, how much could he farm!
“Forget it, forget it.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Better to rely on doing tasks to earn them. I, Jun Changxiao, disdain doing such opportunistic things!”
“Swish!”
He opened the purchased products catalog, his gaze locking onto the seventh volume of the Seven Profound Luminous Glow Fragments, then rubbed his hands together saying: “Buying this last book will let me collect all seven dragon balls and summon the divine dragon, right!”
“His uncle’s!”
“Why is it another hundred thousand!”
The 200,000 contribution points that hadn’t been devoured due to the system upgrade were completely spent on the Supreme Product and purchasing the Seven Profound Luminous Glow. Though it pained him a bit, thinking it over, it was still acceptable.
…
The seven incomplete volumes originally arranged neatly together unfortunately didn’t summon a divine dragon, but merely emanated an even more profound martial arts essence.
“What exactly is hidden inside here?” Jun Changxiao wondered to himself.
According to what the Black and White Rakshasas said, the incomplete volumes contained a great opportunity. If he could glimpse it, his martial arts would definitely achieve a qualitative leap.
“Can’t probe it.”
“Completely can’t probe it.”
After pondering for over an hour without any discovery, Jun Changxiao went to the cafeteria to get Liu Wanshi’s exclusive divine weapon and, together with the Modification Stone, handed them to Master Fan for modification and upgrading.
“Little brother!”
Just as he walked out of the Forging Hall, Bai Rakshasa’s voice sounded in his ear: “A warship is approaching the Xingyun Continent!”
“Whoosh!”
Jun Changxiao vanished on the spot. The camera followed and found him already standing in the vast cosmic starry sky. Having stepped into the Mid-level Void Breaking Realm, the oppressive force existing around him couldn’t pose any threat.
“Such fast speed!”
Seeing the Sect Master appear before her, Hei Rakshasa thought to herself: “Little brother’s current strength is definitely not beneath mine!”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes blazed like torches as he looked toward the dark depths, instantly capturing a warship speeding through, until he locked onto a burly, muscular middle-aged man standing at the bow. A smile rose on his face: “An old acquaintance has arrived.”
