The Eternal Ancient Sect was established a short time ago and lacked an ancient sect’s foundation, but it could package ancient people!
Thus, Zhuge Liang, who had research in miraculous techniques and formations, was instantly transformed into a sect predecessor by Jun Changxiao’s casual mention, and even the Formation Breaking Chapter was grafted onto him.
Taixuan Elder quickly asked, “Since he’s a sect predecessor, did he leave behind a Formation Chapter?”
“This…”
Jun Changxiao scratched his head, explaining, “Predecessor Zhuge, like Master, enjoyed traveling mountains and waters. Aside from a small portion of formation secret manuals, most are scattered outside.”
“That’s quite regrettable.”
Taixuan Elder’s face showed a helpless expression. Clearly, he was truly fooled by Dogshit.
“Master.”
Jun Changxiao said, “In life, one is destined to face many tribulations. What we can do is rely on ourselves to resolve them, rather than pray for predecessors’ help!”
“Bah!”
The System couldn’t stand it. “A cheat user still has the nerve to preach!”
“Correct!”
Taixuan Elder said seriously, “Having troubles, go overcome them—this is what a true man does!”
That very day, Jun Changxiao called Old Zhen and Shangguan Xinyao over, instructing them to definitely cooperate with Master to improve Bamboo Mountain No. 1.
Thus, the three began focusing their minds on researching the mecha formations, truly forgetting to eat and sleep.
“Grand-Master, why must so many formations be installed on a single bamboo? Can’t it be simplified?”
“Grand-Master, if we modify the formation lines, what changes will occur?”
“Grand-Master, if we separate out several more energy-embedding formation nodes and have them activate simultaneously during operation, will that reduce consumption?”
After teaching for just a few days, once Shangguan Xinyao gradually grasped Bamboo Mountain No. 1’s formation system, she began frequently asking questions that nearly made Taixuan Elder’s head explode.
However.
Many questions, after careful consideration, actually made sense.
If viewed from a different angle and arranged accordingly, perhaps there would be different results?
Taixuan Elder grasped the key points from Shangguan Xinyao’s many questions and began improving the formation system. Several days later, he achieved considerable results—energy consumption truly decreased!
There were also some defects.
With reduced energy consumption, combat power also weakened.
“Alas.”
Taixuan Elder sat cross-legged in the cage, shaking his head. “Although energy consumption has been greatly controlled, its power is now only comparable to the Wudi level.”
Jun Changxiao said, “Master, don’t be discouraged. At least you’ve successfully taken the first step. Continue researching—perhaps it can be elevated to the Core Formation Realm level.”
Dogshit wasn’t greedy. If Bamboo Mountain No. 1 could have One-Revolution strength while controlling energy sources, that would be quite good. After all, this level could establish a foothold in the Upper Realm.
…
Jun Changxiao didn’t participate in researching the mecha, but focused his attention on medicinal herb cultivation.
As for the disciples, they also absorbed profound stones day and night to improve themselves. Their realm strength could be described as advancing by leaps and bounds—in just half a month, they went from universal Wuhuang to universal half-saint.
Ding Xingwang, Gongsun Haohang, and other elders took the lead in stepping into the Sky-Breaking Realm.
Because they were in the Upper Realm with higher and deeper laws of heaven and earth, stepping into this realm was as easy as stepping from Wuzong to Wuwang.
Simply put.
As long as martial dao resources could keep up, even stepping into upper positions would be easy.
Jun Changxiao wasn’t overjoyed by the overall strength improvement of the sect, because this level of combat power was still far inferior compared to truly foundational Profound-rank sects.
When the disciples’ average strength reached Core Formation Realm—that would be truly impressive, and they could compete for glory with the Upper Realm’s various sects.
With two hundred million profound stones, Jun Changxiao began making large-scale purchases. Under Young Master Yuan’s management, batches of low-priced, high-quality medicinal herb seeds were continuously shipped over.
Elder Wei led people to continue expanding cultivation scale. Peppa was also constantly opening up entirely new medicinal fields. The monthly output of pills increased sharply.
…
After arranging everything properly, Jun Changxiao opened the Spirit Beast Pavilion, thinking to himself, “I still need to equip several core disciples with contract beasts first.”
After Li Qingyang obtained the Thunder Ridge Beast, his cultivation speed clearly improved.
“Ding! Beginning hatching!”
“Ding! Ice Phoenix Egg successfully hatched, automatically forming contract with disciple Lu Qianqian!”
“…”
“Ding! Mystic Turtle Egg successfully hatched, automatically forming contract with disciple Xiao Zuiji!”
“…”
“Ding! Divine Movement Egg successfully hatched, automatically forming contract with disciple Su Xiaomo!”
Jun Changxiao spent thirty million profound stones in one go, hatching three contract beasts from the Spirit Beast Pavilion and matching them to corresponding disciples based on attributes.
…
“Holy crap!”
Su Xiaomo was instantly dumbfounded on the spot.
The Sect Master called him over saying there was something to give, and the result… was actually a demonic beast with a form resembling a tiger-leopard, and it even had a pair of unopened snow-white wings!
“This is a Divine Movement Beast.”
Jun Changxiao said, “After cultivating it to adulthood, it can fly through the air. From this moment on, it’s your contract beast.”
“Really?!”
The excitement in Su Xiaomo’s heart was beyond description!
When he brought the contract beast back and realized that its breathing and exhalation could make him stronger, he directly hugged it and fiercely kissed it on the forehead.
Xiao Zuiji also obtained a contract beast, but completely different from Su Xiaomo’s speed-type—its form resembled a turtle, with speed so slow it drove people crazy.
However.
Its defensive capabilities were extremely strong.
…
Ice Heavy Heaven.
Looking at the bird beast suspended before her, seemingly assembled from crystal-clear ice blocks, Lu Qianqian said in disbelief, “My contract beast?”
“Correct.”
Jun Changxiao said, “It’s called the Ice Phoenix Beast, an extremely rare ice-type rare and exotic beast. It can help you cultivate and improve your understanding of ice-type attributes.”
Even without him saying so, Lu Qianqian had already sensed it, because they’d already established a contract.
After a brief silence, she said, “Thank you, Sect Master.”
Her expression and tone were cold, but contained human warmth.
“You now have both an exclusive divine weapon and contract beast. Work hard to cultivate and become stronger—don’t disappoint this seat.” Jun Changxiao said.
“Mm.”
Lu Qianqian responded.
Perhaps because of the environment, the atmosphere remained rather cold and awkward, so Jun Changxiao didn’t linger long. He left the Nine Heavens Secret Realm and returned to his residence.
…
After Lu Qianqian, Xiao Zuiji, and Su Xiaomo obtained contract beasts, the news immediately spread throughout the sect, causing disciples to compete in discussion and envy.
“Sect Master!”
One day, just as Jun Changxiao walked out of the courtyard preparing to go to the medicinal fields for routine inspection, Ye Xingchen blocked his way and opened his mouth. “This disciple also wants a contract beast!”
“Don’t you already have an eagle?”
“I don’t mind having more!”
Ye Xingchen learned from Xiao Zuiji that the contract beasts given by the Sect Master could help improve cultivation, and his heart immediately stirred greatly.
Anyway, back when he drank too much, he’d frequented the livestock pens plenty. His Ye Di identity had been exposed too. Might as well shamelessly ask!
You can say Ah Niu has changed, but this change is all to obtain more martial dao resources from Jun Changxiao’s hands, thereby becoming stronger in a short time so he can find that woman and take revenge!
“Alright.”
Jun Changxiao said, “This seat happens to have a rare and exotic beast suitable for your use.”
“Ding! Beginning hatching!”
“Ding! Panhu Egg successfully hatched, automatically forming contract with disciple Ye Xingchen!”
“Woof woof woof!”
Instantly, a puppy resembling a husky wagged its tail and circled around Ah Niu, causing his entire person to immediately petrify on the spot.
