Because he’d offended Linyuan City’s lord, Jun Changxiao feared his identity being exposed would bring unnecessary trouble, so he could only go to more distant cities to seek medicinal materials.
This time he kept a low profile, didn’t provoke trouble, and used all three million profound stones purchasing seeds, preparing to make a fortune.
“With three million invested, won’t what I earn be thirty million?”
On the road returning to the sect, Jun Changxiao became happier and more excited the more he thought about it.
Just then, a flowing light flew across the heavens accompanied by powerful true energy aura, so he said in surprise: “An expert!”
From the other party’s unrestrained flight and that composure and speed, he judged their cultivation was definitely high-level Pill Transformation Realm.
The Upper Realm had experts like clouds, but because the territory was vast and the southeast slightly remote, experts not relying on flight treasures were relatively rare to see.
“Swish!”
The flowing light stopped on a mountaintop, revealing black-robed Feng Guichen.
He released his spiritual sense, spreading it to every part of the nearby wilderness, collapsing in his heart: “Where on earth is that couple!”
After leaving Linyuan City, he’d already searched for nearly a month, practically turning over every surrounding mountain peak, but still hadn’t found the man and woman City Lord Lu described.
“Let’s check the city ahead.”
Feng Guichen didn’t give up and set out to continue forward.
Jun Changxiao also withdrew his gaze, focusing his mind on hurrying back.
The furthest distance in the world isn’t between life and death, but that I passed by you and you don’t know who I am.
…
Eternal Sect.
After Jun Changxiao returned, he handed the seeds to the Medicine Hall to begin a new round of planting.
That day, Sun Bukong led fellow disciples to plant meticulously.
These years, though Elder Wei remained Medicine Hall’s hall master, he no longer handled many matters personally, gradually delegating authority to disciples, because the future ultimately belonged to the young.
Whether a sect could prosper long depended on whether the new generation could shoulder the burden. If they collapsed, how long could a group of elders alone support things?
Because Peggy had previously expanded the medicinal fields a second time, this planting scale exceeded the first batch several-fold, preliminarily estimated to produce five hundred thousand plants.
“Just waiting for harvest day.”
Jun Changxiao lay comfortably in his study chair, his peripheral vision sweeping over Xiao Longlong who’d been forgotten for many chapters, thinking: “Little fellow, when will you awaken?”
Though he couldn’t confirm the time, Dogshit believed that once the fire dragon awakened, there would definitely be tremendous changes, because the current environment was the Upper Realm.
…
Time flowed, turning in the blink of an eye to pass a month.
Every day Jun Changxiao either cultivated martial dao or managed the sect, occasionally visiting the medicinal fields for inspections.
His days seemed fulfilling, but actually he felt especially depressed in his heart, because after becoming a VIP user of the shop, without sufficient contribution points, he simply couldn’t afford goods, only able to watch helplessly as the remaining four refresh opportunities were replaced.
“Why don’t last month’s refresh opportunities accumulate to next month!”
“Sorry, that function doesn’t exist.”
“…”
Jun Changxiao really wanted to summon the System and beat it up.
During this time, Ding Xingwang smoothly entered Grand Perfection Martial Saint, Gongsun Haohai entered Peak Martial Saint, and Jiang Xie, Elder Ge, and other high-level members successively advanced to Ninth-grade Martial Saint.
Coming to the Upper Realm for only two or three months, everyone had breakthrough after breakthrough in minor and major realms. Though the Splendor Illumination Heart Sutra played a role, more importantly the heaven and earth environment was too formidable.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
On this day, powerful advancement momentum suddenly surged from an independent courtyard on Dragon Head Peak.
“Hm?”
Jun Changxiao, just returning from medicinal field inspection, said in astonishment: “Is that woman entering Void Breaking Realm?”
Correct.
The one causing such commotion was precisely Hua Meigui.
Actually when she first met Jun Changxiao, her realm was already infinitely close to Void Breaking Realm, but taking that small step was truly too difficult.
In the brand new world and brand new environment, Hua Meigui focused her mind on cultivation. In a short time she broke through the shackles, causing her martial dao to have comprehensive sublimation.
“Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Attributes containing higher profundity gathered over all of Eternal Sect. The disciples benefited greatly from contact with them.
The advancement momentum continued for approximately half an hour. When everything returned to calm, Hua Meigui walked out from her room, her brows radiating even richer queenly bearing.
The empress controlling an entire plane had impeccable bearing. However, seeing Jun Changxiao outside the courtyard, the noble queen’s air immediately restrained. Her face displayed the smile only a virtuous wife would have as she said: “Husband, I’ve broken through.”
“Tch.”
Dogshit hurriedly turned his head and walked toward his own dwelling.
Being accustomed to what kind of person the host was, the System was too lazy to even criticize anymore.
Setting aside the Black and White Rakshasa, those two Sixth Revolution powerhouses from the Upper Realm, Hua Meigui could be considered the second to enter Void Breaking Realm after the Sect Leader.
Of course.
This was only the beginning.
Based on Eternal Sect’s current advancement momentum, with even stronger heaven and earth attributes and mental cultivation method assistance, the changes in one year would definitely be earth-shattering!
Why so certain? Because shortly after Hua Meigui’s breakthrough, Ye Xingchen, who’d comprehended the Splendor Illumination Heart Sutra more deeply, broke through from Seventh-grade to Eighth-grade Martial Saint. The frequency and speed were so fast—approximately every thirty to forty days he could advance one level!
“Come!”
On the training grounds, the newly advanced Aniu said proudly: “Let’s have a match!”
“…” Though Sun Mucheng really wanted to focus his mind on cultivation, since Senior Brother had spoken, he could only respectfully obey rather than decline.
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!”
Violent air currents and heavy sounds rang out on the training grounds. After approximately seven or eight minutes of fist and foot combat, Ye Xingchen lay on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.
“Senior Brother Ye!”
Sun Mucheng cupped his hands: “I yield!”
“…”
Su Xiaomo, Li Fei, and others watching collapsed.
Junior Brother Ye in the core disciple circle was absolutely one of the undisputed strongest combat powers. Now having entered Eighth-grade Martial Saint, he was still knocked down by Junior Brother.
“I lost…”
“I lost again…”
Ye Xingchen gripped his fists tightly, but his eyes held no anger, dejection, sorrow, or other negative emotions—only unwillingness and refusal to give up.
The Night Emperor was already dead.
Having come to the Upper Realm, he was now just an ordinary person!
I!
Can lose!
But absolutely will not admit defeat!
Ye Xingchen staggered to his feet, looking at Sun Mucheng leaving the training grounds, and shouted loudly: “Let’s go drink!”
“Thud!”
In the dining hall, after merely taking a small sip of Death and Dreams, Sun Mucheng’s face turned completely red and he slumped over the table. This incident tells us—children shouldn’t drink alcohol!
Ye Xingchen set down his emptied bowl, his expression unchanged as he said: “Trash.”
…
“Whoosh!”
A few more days passed. With Eternal Sect as the center, an ultra-large-scale formation covering nearly all of Eternal Immortal Mountain gathered and formed.
This was the Purple Cloud Star Formation.
During the second batch of medicinal materials’ growth stage, after serious and earnest research, Jun Changxiao finally arranged it. Seeing the flowing light barrier cover such a vast scope, he subconsciously touched his shiny scalp and smiled: “With this thing, my heart feels much more at ease.”
The System said speechlessly: “Researching the Heaven-Seizing Creation Great Formation used too much mental power, leaving the host with aftereffects. Whenever it’s mental work, he habitually loses hair.”
“Swoosh!”
The Purple Cloud Star Formation disappeared into formlessness. Unless someone collided with it, it would be hard to discover.
With the home formation standing, he could rampage freely outside. Therefore, Jun Changxiao began contemplating—how should he court death with flourish in the Upper Realm next?
