Jun Changxiao was very confident, but the immediate priority was to quickly get through the weakness period, so he obediently entered the Spacetime Secret Realm.

Liu Sinan, on the other hand, began a happy life, tasting Liu Wanshi’s cooking every day, seemingly forgetting he was a Demon Slayer with the responsibility of eliminating demons and protecting the dao.

Of course.

It wasn’t just the food that shocked him.

Afterward, he successively encountered the Eternal Ancient Sect’s various cultivation facilities, as if discovering a new continent, as if pushing open a door leading to a higher realm!

“Incredible!”

“Too incredible!”

Walking out of the Life-Death Secret Realm, Liu Sinan recalled the scene of being instantly killed by a powerful demonic beast just now and immediately gave a professional evaluation: “Hell Mode is absolutely comparable to a first-class forbidden land!”

“Holy shit!”

Su Xiaomo, passing by, widened her eyes.

The new version of the Life-Death Secret Realm had existed for some time. Everyone challenged Simple and Normal modes, but this new elder actually challenged Hell Mode!

Fierce enough!

Failing the secret realm challenge resulted in weakness punishment.

Liu Sinan lay in his room for a whole day until his condition recovered, then went to challenge Hard Mode. He succeeded, but paid no small price.

Worth it!

Because improvements in all aspects were significant!

“Having this kind of secret realm suitable for training, how could realm advancement be a worry?”

“Ha ha!”

“Ha ha ha!”

Liu Sinan stood outside the secret realm laughing heartily toward the sky, attracting the attention of a disciple named Mao Xiaodao who happened to pass by. He thought to himself: “As expected, this new elder has also seen the world.”

He was an outer sect disciple who usually cleaned with Du Nan, so he had little presence.

However.

Having joined the sect for several years, he was thoroughly familiar with all kinds of sect facilities, even becoming accustomed to them. Even if the sect master brought out some new gadget, he wouldn’t be surprised.

Liu Sinan was different.

Though his realm was high, this was his first time encountering sect facilities. Realizing they had extremely high benefits for martial dao, he naturally couldn’t control his emotions.

His emotions being uncontrolled was still to come, because he successively consumed various pills, cultivated various martial techniques, especially the Great Thousand Shadow Division Art—it was simply an all-purpose divine technique suitable for every aspect!

“Big Brother Liu.”

Having returned from the secret realm, Jun Changxiao whose condition had recovered asked, “How do you feel after joining the sect?”

“Incredible, unbelievable!”

No words could describe the震撼 shock in Liu Sinan’s heart anymore.

If it weren’t for Gu Zhaoxi’s great righteousness, if it weren’t for Liu Wanshi’s cooking, if given another chance to choose, he would definitely still become an Eternal Ancient Sect elder!

“Big Brother Liu.”

Jun Changxiao said, “Though you’ve joined the sect, you have absolute freedom and can go out to slay demons and monsters anytime.”

“This……”

After considering for a long time, Liu Sinan said, “Let me stay a few more days.”

Various facilities, various pills, various delicacies—though they made him reluctant to leave, as a Demon Slayer, he wouldn’t forget his duty.

Jun Changxiao respected him and permitted him to leave the sect to do his own things.

However… there were conditions.

“Big Brother Liu.”

Jun Changxiao tossed over a pile of intelligence reports and said, “I plan to have disciples participate in various competitive martial events held in different cities. Since you’re traveling the world anyway, why not lead them to participate.”

As an established Demon Slayer with status and strength, having him lead disciples to participate in various competitions would be absolutely safe.

“Alright.”

Liu Sinan agreed.

Eliminating demons and protecting the dao required wandering the world anyway—bringing them along didn’t interfere.

“Got it!”

The system said, “Brand new tool person goes online!”

……

Several days passed.

Liu Sinan became familiar with everything in the sect and left the Eternal Ancient Sect with disciples including Lu Qianqian, Xiao Zueji, and Su Xiaomo. Before leaving, he packed quite a lot of fried rice. Every few hundred miles traveled, he would sit down to eat a meal, claiming he was hungry.

Li Qingyang didn’t go because he had to construct the great hall.

Ye Xingchen didn’t go because he had to frantically cultivate.

“Once the sect level gains system recognition and Upper Realm force recognition, there should be generous rewards, right?” Jun Changxiao sat in his study muttering to himself.

Next, he had nothing to do, so he frequently appeared at the Medical Hall, Forging Hall, and Poison Refinement Hall, keeping current on the progress of quick-completion pills, battle armor, and unmanned control technology.

Three years.

The Star Spirit Realm would attack.

He must have sufficient strength to protect the sect from violation.

This was Jun Changxiao—a true man who would immediately throw himself into work once past the weakness period!

……

Bingmang City.

Just from the name, one could tell this was a city covered in ice and snow.

At this moment, the central martial arena’s spectator seats gathered hundreds of thousands of warriors, staring intently at the graceful figure standing like a proud plum blossom in the performance arena.

“This Eternal Ancient Sect disciple is too beautiful!”

“As if merged with the ice and snow world!”

“How could they bear to send such a beautiful woman out to fight!”

The crowd’s discussions reached Lu Qianqian’s ears, but her cold face and clear eyes showed no emotional fluctuation, standing there like a perfect, flawless ice sculpture.

A woman’s beauty sometimes needs environment to set it off.

At this moment, situated in the ice and snow city, Lu Qianqian’s aloof temperament had reached its peak, not necessarily losing to Hua Meigui in her dress.

“Tsk tsk.”

Liu Sinan mentally commented: “This grand disciple’s understanding of the ice element seems to have extremely high attainment.”

“……”

The big shots from various sects sitting nearby twitched their mouths.

They couldn’t figure out when this Boundary Hall Demon Slayer had become an Eternal Ancient Sect elder and was even leading disciples to participate in the several-years-per-session Bingmang Martial Meet.

“The first round of competition begins!” the referee announced.

“Miss.”

The contestant who just walked onto the stage scratched his head and smiled, “Although you’re a woman, since you came to participate in the martial meet, don’t blame me for……”

“Bang!”

Before finishing his words, he was sent flying by a blast of cold air.

“Eternal Ancient Sect disciple Lu Qianqian wins!”

Next, the referee’s announcements would continue, because in the second round, third round… as long as Lu Qianqian fought, regardless of the opponent’s strength, without exception, all were instantly killed.

“She’s too strong!”

“No one can withstand even one of her moves!”

“Core Formation Realm?”

The crowd was震惊 shocked beyond belief.

Liu Sinan shook his head, thinking to himself: “The sect master sending a disciple of this strength to participate in the Bingmang Martial Meet is simply overkill.”

In the finals, Lu Qianqian still instantly killed her opponent to claim championship, leaving the warriors who worked hard to come watch collapsed, because the entire competition wasn’t exciting at all—it was extremely boring!

Refund!

I want a refund!

……

“Ding! Disciple Lu Qianqian won the Bingmang Martial Meet championship, rewarding 100 reputation points.”

“Ding! Sect reputation points: 2100.”

“You’re kidding me.”

Sitting in his study, Jun Changxiao set down the novel written by Jianghu Zaijian and said in collapse, “Only giving 100 points?”

“Having any is already good.”

The system said, “Don’t be ungrateful.”

“Fine.”

Jun Changxiao picked up the novel again, reading while wiping tears and saying, “This author writes too tragically—I’ve cried several times already.”

……

“Ding! Disciple Su Xiaomo won XX Competition championship, rewarding 100 reputation points.”

“Ding! Disciple He Wudi won XX event championship, rewarding 100 reputation points.”

Over the following period, Jun Changxiao’s ears frequently heard notification sounds. His originally complaining mentality gradually faded, because after all, though little individually, it couldn’t withstand accumulation!

“Ah!”

“How beautiful this world is!”
