The returning Jun Changxiao, with one song “Iron Blood and Loyal Heart,” sang until disciples vomited blood on the spot, showing that even two years later his power was still formidable, making people afraid upon hearing.

The missing portion of absurd energy gradually condensed after Dog Leftover returned, and the entire sect was immediately injected with a complete soul.

“Toot toot!”

Jun Chang said loudly: “Quickly prepare a banquet!”

He and the Core Disciples had returned after two years of cultivation, so they definitely needed to celebrate properly.

“Yes!”

Liu Wanshi immediately mobilized people to prepare a sect banquet.

“You two.”

Ye Xingchen looked toward Su Xiaomo and Li Fei, saying coldly: “Don’t you dare run tonight!”

Banquets couldn’t be without alcohol. In this aspect, Ah Niu had absolute confidence he could guarantee to knock both senior brothers flat under the table.

“We’re done for.”

Su Xiaomo and Li Fei looked utterly despairing.

Back in the day, whenever banquets were held, the two actively urged Ye Xingchen to drink. Now they’d been drunk into having psychological shadows.

Night arrived.

Yi Hei, Er Hei, and the others successively brought up fine wine and dishes.

Before starting, Jun Changxiao announced publicly: “Disciples who trained outside for two years, tomorrow follow this Sect Master to Xiongwei City to participate in the upcoming Sect Competition.”

Celebrating was celebrating.

But proper business couldn’t be forgotten.

“Participating in another Sect Competition?”

Ye Xingchen placed two jars of Drunken Life and Dream Death in front of the table, the corners of his mouth rising in a smile.

Two years of cultivation, strength greatly increased—just right to go meet the top talents of the major sects and measure the gap between himself and them.

Li Qingyang and Xiao Zuiji’s gazes also rose with fighting spirit.

Wealth and honor not returning home is like wearing brocade at night.

Going to participate in the Sect Competition, just right to prove their two years of cultivation results.

……

This banquet lasted until deep night. Su Xiaomo and Li Fei, not unexpectedly, collapsed on the ground, each hugging an empty wine jar, mouth slobbering: “Not… not drinking anymore… can’t do it anymore…”

“Trash.”

Ye Xingchen returned to his residence as if nothing happened.

At that moment, the title of Wine Dao Supreme was truly well-deserved!

……

Dragon Head Peak.

Jun Changxiao stood before the courtyard. After difficult struggle, he said: “Thank you for your hard work.”

He’d been a hands-off shopkeeper, but the sect’s affairs still relied on Hua Meigui to manage, so today upon returning, he specially came to express thanks.

“Hey.”

Suddenly, Hua Meigui standing at her courtyard entrance in the distance asked puzzled: “Who are you talking to?”

Turns out Jun Changxiao was standing at his own doorway. Just now he was simply talking to thin air.

“Swish!”

Dog Leftover hurriedly straightened his body, saying: “I… I drank too much, talking nonsense—is that not allowed?”

People who haven’t drunk too much like to say they drank too much, so Jun Changxiao was lying, and very lacking in technique.

Hua Meigui walked over and glared at him: “Just now at the banquet, you acted cold toward me. Now you must wait until no one’s around to say what’s in your heart?”

Jun Changxiao began pretending to be drunk, swaying and staggering toward the courtyard.

Hua Meigui followed in, saying: “I managed the sect for you for two years. Even if there’s no merit, there’s hard work. Don’t I deserve your thanks in person? Must you hide far away, afraid I’ll hear?”

Holy crap!

She actually heard!

“I… I didn’t say anything, I don’t remember anything…” Jun Changxiao pretended to be in an alcohol-induced stupor, extremely drunk.

The System couldn’t help saying: “I really want to beat him up. Anyone want to join!”

“Swish!”

Hua Meigui quickly walked up, blocking his path, her almond eyes wide: “Just how long will you keep avoiding!”

“What am I avoiding!”

“Your heart clearly has me in it. Each time you deliberately avoid, even words of thanks must be secretly said from far away!”

“Please, I really drank too much. Can you not be self-absorbed!”

“Ahhh!”

Jun Changxiao immediately cried out miserably, because Hua Meigui viciously bit his arm, saying hatefully: “Never seen a man like you!”

“You…”

“Ding! Upper Realm version Epic Task Two completed, beginning settlement.”

“Ding! Core Disciples completed two years of training and returned, realms greatly improved, meeting defined conditions. Epic Task complete. Completion rate 200%. Host obtains 1,000,000 Contribution Points!”

“Ding! Sect Contribution Points: 1,800,000.”

Jun Changxiao, originally fierce-looking, immediately showed a smile on his face.

Epic Task Two actually gave one million Contribution Points. So awesome it made him unable to feel any pain!

“Ding! Congratulations to Host for completing Upper Realm version Epic Task Two, obtaining High-Grade Space-Time Secret Realm purchase right ×1, High-Grade Nine Heavens Secret Realm purchase right ×1, Shaping Room Super purchase right ×1, Sect function upgrade ×1.”

“Hahahaha!”

Jun Changxiao couldn’t control his emotions and burst out laughing.

Hua Meigui was stunned. Had her one bite driven him silly?

“Come!”

Just then, Jun Changxiao extended his other arm, saying: “Bite!”

Such a strange request—she’d never heard of it before. So Hua Meigui unceremoniously opened her mouth and bit down, but the force was clearly much less than before.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, a surging advancement momentum emerged around Jun Changxiao’s entire body, instantly enveloping all of Myriad Ancients Sect, causing disciples originally in drunken states to have their hearts and minds shocked.

“The Sect Master is advancing!”

“Always so sudden!”

“Ding! Host successfully broke through to Second Revolution Core Formation Realm.”

“Ding! Host successfully broke through to Third Revolution Core Formation Realm.”

After the Epic Task completed, two years of bottleneck suppression was lifted. Jun Changxiao finally successfully advan—successfully skipped grades to Third Revolution Core Formation Realm level.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

At the same time, the True Energy within the True Core frantically rotated, becoming even more pure and incomparable after repeated transformations.

Explosive power immediately surged into all the meridians throughout his body, causing Jun Changxiao to raise his head and roar.

Hua Meigui was shaken back by the air wave, looking at him dumbfounded, thinking: “How did he just break through?”

“Come!”

Jun Changxiao extended both arms, saying: “Bite all you want!”

Consecutively advancing two levels, his mood was explosively awesome!

“……”

Hua Meigui glared at him, then turned to leave.

She couldn’t possibly bite again, because biting this guy hurt her own heart.

“Swish!”

Jun Changxiao suddenly grabbed her hand, pulling her back. Like a domineering CEO possessed, he said: “Thank you.”

“Thanks for what?”

“Thank you for helping me manage the sect these two years.”

Jun Changxiao spoke very seriously, without the slightest joking intent.

Hua Meigui turned around, saying resentfully: “Must I come find you before you dare say it to my face?”

“I just wanted to say it, but I only rehearsed it once and you discovered me.” Jun Changxiao said helplessly.

Actually Hua Meigui had misunderstood. Dog Leftover standing at the courtyard entrance talking to himself earlier wasn’t that he didn’t dare say it to her face, but rather he planned to preview it first. As a result, he was awkwardly discovered early.

“Is there anything else you want to say?”

“No.”

“You…”

Hua Meigui left in a huff, but after walking out of the courtyard, a smile appeared on her face.

In the bamboo grove.

Su Xiaomo, who had expelled the alcohol, stopped and looked affectionately at Xia Shuiyun, saying seriously: “I swear, these two years I thought of you while eating, thought of you while sleeping, thought of you while dreaming. If you don’t believe me, put your hand on my chest—my heartbeat frequency is all thinking of you!”
