Eternal Ages Sect, Dragon Ridge Peak.

Gu Zhaoxi sat cross-legged on the bed, his expression somewhat serious.

He was currently struggling over exactly which martial technique to cultivate first.

At this moment, many manuals were placed beside him: there was Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break, there was the Radiant Illumination Heart Sutra, there was Heaven-Crossing Palm Strike, and there was also the Great Thousand Shadow Division Art.

During the previous period, because he needed to assist disciples in doing tasks, he had no opportunity to study the sect’s martial techniques. Now that Jun Changxiao had broken through and ordered disciples to do tasks in moderation, he finally had free time.

“Just pick randomly.”

Gu Zhaoxi closed his eyes and selected Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break.

“Seems pretty ordinary.” Picking up the incomplete scroll to study it, he gradually became immersed and unable to extricate himself.

“Holy crap!”

Half an hour later, Gu Zhaoxi exclaimed in shock: “This martial technique is pretty strong!”

Several days later.

He had comprehended all seven incomplete scrolls. Positioning himself on the mountain peak, he gathered seven-colored radiance between his two fingers and pointed toward the mountain exterior, dragging out a brilliant seven-colored light beam.

“Hm?”

Li Qingyang and the others all looked up, seeing the radiance crossing the vault of heaven, and exclaimed: “Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break?”

They had already cultivated this martial technique to completion in the lower realm, but after coming to the upper realm they rarely used it, because it had been replaced by Heaven-Crossing Palm Strike.

However, now seeing Master-Uncle execute it, the power was actually so strong!

“Little Brother.”

Jun Changxiao walked over, surprised: “When you execute this martial technique, why is it so grand and imposing?”

“Shouldn’t a profound and unfathomable martial technique be grand and imposing?” Gu Zhaoxi said.

Jun Changxiao said: “Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break has almost fallen behind in my Eternal Ages Sect, yet now in Little Brother’s hands it can explode with formidable power—truly exceptional natural talent!”

“Big Brother, quit joking.”

Gu Zhaoxi said: “If you tried, you could do it too.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and communicated with the seven-colored energy existing between heaven and earth. Gathering the radiance between his two fingers, his face immediately showed disbelief.

At this moment, he could feel that the gathered energy light had earth-shaking changes compared to before!

This wasn’t right!

He hadn’t studied Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break in these few years, so why was the condensed light beam so much stronger?

Was it because his realm had increased?

“Wait a minute!”

Jun Changxiao quickly discovered that the light beam resonated with his true core, and the true spirit power inside was endlessly reinforcing it, so he said in surprise: “There was no such phenomenon before!”

“Whoosh!”

He flicked his finger and the light beam flew out.

“Boom!”

The towering mountain peak outside the sect was immediately blasted to smithereens.

“I understand now.”

Jun Changxiao had a revelation: “With stronger energy reinforcement, Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break’s power is greatly enhanced!”

He Wudi had known this long ago. Seeing the Sect Master and Gu Zhaoxi execute it, his heart didn’t stir with the slightest emotional fluctuation, and he thought to himself: “The true spirit power of the upper realm can barely manage to wield the martial technique created by Predecessor Seven Luminaries.”

Advanced martial techniques in lower-level worlds might not necessarily display their full power, because incompatibility situations would occur. But with true spirit power to execute Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break, the change became very obvious.

So to speak.

Each version, each deity. Every version, everyone plays Garen.

…

After testing the power of Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break, Jun Changxiao returned to the study and took out all seven incomplete scrolls.

These were the originals.

What the disciples and Gu Zhaoxi used for cultivation were copies.

The difference between the two was that the originals contained special energy, as if some kind of profound truth existed within.

After obtaining them, Jun Changxiao had discovered this, but restricted by his level being too low, he had never been able to glimpse the mysteries within. Now realizing the martial technique had been enhanced, he planned to study them carefully again, but the result… he still couldn’t figure it out.

“No good, no good.”

“The energy gathered in these incomplete scrolls is too profound. I need to find someone to ask about it carefully!”

The one most knowledgeable about Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break was naturally He Wudi, but Gou Sheng didn’t know that the first incomplete scroll he bought had been stolen from him. So after brief consideration, he went to Hua Meigui’s residence and said: “What secret is hidden in Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break?”

“Not clear.”

“How did you obtain it?”

“When campaigning in other planes, I obtained it from a ruin.”

“…”

Jun Changxiao then found the Black and White Rakshasa and inquired about Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break, but still gained nothing.

To be precise, they had all sensed that the incomplete scrolls contained some kind of profound truth, but simply couldn’t decipher the secrets existing within them.

“The more profound.”

“The more extraordinary.”

Jun Changxiao looked at the seven incomplete scrolls emanating a weighty aura and thought to himself: “If I can decipher them someday, there will likely be enormous gains.”

…

After the version update, Seven Luminaries Radiant Light Break instantly received an enhancement. So Jun Changxiao ordered the disciples that when cultivating, they must diligently study it. Once they gathered true spirit power, it could be put to use.

“Sect Master.”

One day, Liu Wanshi came to see him: “Mengying has been acting strange lately.”

“Strange how?”

“When sleeping, she often speaks nonsense, saying things like ‘Heaven and Earth are indestructible, the Demonic Path endures forever.'”

Jun Changxiao immediately frowned, recalling when cultivating in the Space-Time Secret Realm, the huge black shadow that gathered behind that girl.

Liu Wanshi said worriedly: “Could this be cultivation deviation?”

“Don’t think randomly.”

Jun Changxiao said: “This Seat will go take a look.”

With that, he went to the Space-Time Secret Realm. Just as he entered, he saw Yao Mengying sitting cross-legged on the ground, demonic energy enveloping her body, gradually gathering into a huge black shadow. She murmured in a low voice: “Heaven and Earth are indestructible, the Demonic Path endures forever…”

“Boom!”

Jun Changxiao punched the black shadow, instantly shattering it to pieces, and cursed: “If you’re a soul body with self-awareness, hurry up and get out of this Seat’s disciple’s body!”

“Sect Master!”

Yao Mengying opened her eyes, her gaze resolute: “I want to go to the Demon Delusion Domain!”

“Why?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Because…”

Yao Mengying paused briefly: “I always feel like there’s an invisible force calling to me.”

“The Demon Delusion Clan was exterminated long ago. Does the Demon Delusion Domain still exist?” Jun Changxiao said.

“It does.”

Gu Zhaoxi said.

Jun Changxiao turned his head to look, astonished: “When did you arrive?”

“Just now.”

Gu Zhaoxi looked at Yao Mengying, his expression serious: “Big Brother, I discovered long ago that this disciple of yours is somewhat unusual. If I’m not mistaken, she may have bloodline from the Demon Delusion Clan.”

The System collapsed: “This fellow’s character setting isn’t that of a mentally handicapped fool—how did he suddenly seem like a completely different person?”

“Though the Demon Delusion Clan was exterminated long ago, the domain has always existed. If she enters and awakens her bloodline, her strength will definitely greatly increase,” Gu Zhaoxi said.

Jun Changxiao said: “Where is the Demon Delusion Domain located?”

“Back then, the top experts of the Ten Great Immortal Sects joined hands and used divine abilities to seal the Demon Delusion Domain. No one knows its location,” Gu Zhaoxi said.

“…”

Jun Changxiao rolled his eyes: “That’s equivalent to saying nothing.”

“However.”

Gu Zhaoxi said: “There’s a mysterious organization that should know where the Demon Delusion Domain is sealed.”

“What organization?”

“Burial Moon Pavilion!”

“That dark power that’s been fighting with the Boundary Hall for a long time?”

“Correct.”

“Where are they?”

“Don’t know.”

“…”

“Sect Master!”

Just then, Li Qingyang’s voice came to his ear: “Come out quickly and look—heaven and earth are changing!”

Jun Changxiao and Gu Zhaoxi hurried out of the secret realm and saw in the vault of heaven due west, rolling dark clouds gathering and forming a vortex shape. Looking from afar, it was like a huge chrysanthemum blooming!

“It appeared again.”

Outside the Extreme Dao Cave Dwelling, Daoist Tonggu was also observing the strange phenomenon, shaking his head: “That fellow truly thinks he can resurrect?”

“The Demon Delusion Clan’s extermination has become fixed. If he insists on forcibly reversing it, it’s no different from resisting the Heavenly Dao,” Qiye Zhenren said.

“This time the Demonic Affinity appears again, I’m afraid it will attract a group of moths to the flame.”

“Your disciple won’t go join the excitement, will he?”

“That fellow’s strength is too weak. He should have self-awareness and won’t go deliberately seek death.”
