The Supreme Commodity required 12,000 Reputation Points to purchase. It was truly ridiculously expensive, especially considering many items in the shop cost only around five hundred to a thousand!
“Expensive has its reasons, expensive has its benefits!”
After brief consideration, Jun Changxiao still gritted his teeth and chose to purchase it.
“Ding! Host has spent 12,000 Reputation Points, obtained Supreme Commodity ×1, delivered to spatial ring.”
“Ding! Sect Reputation Points: 8,000.”
“Swish!”
His spiritual sense entered the spatial ring, stopping before a large box marked with a question mark. He piously prayed: “May all the gods and immortals bless me to open a pile of divine artifacts and divine equipment!”
He reached out to touch it, and golden light rippled across the surface.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm ×1.”
The large box before his eyes turned into nothingness, and a yellowed ancient manual fell into Jun Changxiao’s hands.
Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm?
This reminded him of the palm technique that descended from the sky in Kung Fu when Stephen Chow directly defeated the Fire Cloud Evil God. His gaze burning, he began to flip through it.
Indeed.
From the introduction, it was quite similar.
But what frustrated Jun Changxiao was that when he opened the data panel, he couldn’t match it to the sect’s cultivation methods. This meant it was only suitable for himself, not for high-ranking members or disciples.
“Opening this from such an expensive Supreme Commodity, once learned it must be powerful.” He withdrew his spiritual sense and returned to his study, beginning to research it earnestly.
“Too difficult!”
After studying it for an entire night, Jun Changxiao was on the verge of collapse.
From the techniques and incantations, the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm didn’t seem particularly special, but truly comprehending it revealed extremely profound mysteries. Achieving mastery in cultivation would definitely not happen overnight.
Spending over ten thousand Reputation Points to buy a difficult-to-learn and difficult-to-master martial technique—no matter how he looked at it, it was a loss!
“Sigh.”
Jun Changxiao shook his head and sighed.
After upgrading to Profound Sect, he was also given a Nine Heavens Divine Stone and Earth Corner Dragon Heart.
One resembled ore, the other resembled medicinal materials. From their names they should be good, but what was their actual value?
The system said: “Perhaps they’ll come in handy later.”
“Hopefully.”
Jun Changxiao leaned back in his chair, saying helplessly: “None of the things rewarded from this upgrade brought me any substantial help.”
“At least the sect has entered Profound-tier, getting closer to Immortal-tier… pfft hahaha…” The system couldn’t help but laugh, because there were still True and Dao tiers in between—it was still far away.
“Too difficult!”
“The Upper Realm main quest is too difficult!”
If Demon Ancestor heard this, he’d definitely spit in his face.
How could you possibly have it harder than me? Trapped in the Demon Delusion Domain for most of half a year, having set up transmission formations several times only to have them all fail!
“No, no!”
“I must have overlooked some detail!”
After repeated failures in setting up formations, Demon Ancestor didn’t give up and continued thinking about the formation routes.
Old man.
Stop wasting time.
It wasn’t that you overlooked details, but that the other anchor point was long gone. Even Spiritual Hidden Island itself had turned to nothingness. No matter how long you set up formations, you couldn’t possibly succeed.
…
Over the past half year, the Upper Realm had been peaceful.
Especially the Burial Moon Pavilion, which seemed to suddenly vanish without a trace, allowing the Realm Hall to live quite comfortably.
The entire Upper Realm didn’t know that this eternally existing mysterious dark force had been mostly eliminated by Jun Changxiao. The Ten Great Immortal Sects were still stupidly sending people to search for it.
Mostly eliminated—did that mean some were missed?
Correct.
The Burial Moon Pavilion still had survivors.
When Demon Ancestor chose to take refuge on Spiritual Hidden Island, he only brought headquarters members. Many branch altar members hadn’t made it in time.
Among them was the Great Protector who had been responsible for hosting the ten holders of Innate Demon Bodies entering the Demon Delusion Domain, along with his several hundred subordinates.
“Whoosh!”
“Whoosh!”
Over the Western Sea waters, wild winds blew.
The Great Protector held a command token, his expression bewildered.
A nearby black-robed elder asked very puzzled: “We’ve been searching for a month now and still haven’t seen Spiritual Hidden Island. Could we have come to the wrong place?”
“Impossible.”
The Great Protector said with certainty: “It’s in these waters!”
“Search!”
“Search carefully!”
“Yes!”
His subordinates could only continue searching the vicinity.
As a result, after searching for several more months without finding Spiritual Hidden Island, worried about being discovered by the Ten Great Immortal Sects, they could only leave and find a place to hide.
“Great Protector.”
The black-robed elder worried: “Headquarters hasn’t contacted us in a very long time. Could something have happened?”
“…”
The Great Protector fell silent.
He had already considered this question.
Under normal circumstances, headquarters would send intelligence at regular intervals. Now nearly a year had passed without any news. Combined with their inability to find Spiritual Hidden Island, something must have happened.
“Could it be…”
“Speak.”
The hesitant black-robed elder still voiced his thoughts: “The Ten Great Immortal Sects discovered Spiritual Hidden Island and completely… all our people…”
The Great Protector fell into deep thought, saying gravely: “That possibility can’t be ruled out.”
“Lord Demon Ancestor, he…”
“Impossible!”
The Great Protector guessed what the black-robed elder wanted to say and interrupted: “Although Lord Demon Ancestor has just revived, he absolutely cannot be easily eliminated by the Ten Great Immortal Sects!”
Because it was his faith, he worshipped blindly.
“Sigh.”
The black-robed elder shook his head: “Then why is there no news at all?”
“If headquarters was discovered by the Ten Great Immortal Sects and we still haven’t been summoned by Lord Demon Ancestor, there’s only one possibility.” The Great Protector’s tone was grave: “The old master entered the Demon Delusion Domain ahead of schedule!”
Don’t say—the Great Protector guessed quite correctly. Demon Ancestor was indeed in the Demon Delusion Domain, but the reason for entering wasn’t being chased by the Ten Great Immortal Sects with nowhere else to go, but rather happily drilling in on his own initiative.
“If that’s the case.”
The black-robed elder said: “Why didn’t he summon us?”
“There may be two reasons. First, Demon Ancestor fought with the Ten Great Immortal Sects, then entered the Demon Delusion Domain injured and is currently recuperating, making it difficult to attend to other matters.”
“Second, the Ten Great Immortal Sects used special methods to reinforce the Demon Delusion Domain’s seal, making it difficult for Lord Demon Ancestor to break through from inside!”
The black-robed elder asked: “Which reason does Great Protector think it is?”
The Great Protector considered for a moment, saying: “Since Lord Demon Ancestor had a way to enter, he would certainly summon us. Since there’s been no news for so long, it’s very likely the second reason—he’s trapped in the Demon Delusion Domain and can’t get out!”
This guy’s deduction seemed very professional, but actually ran completely contrary to the truth, because it had nothing to do with the Ten Great Immortal Sects. However, his final judgment was very correct—Demon Ancestor was indeed trapped inside!
“What should we do?”
“What else can we do? Find a way to break the seal!”
“…”
The black-robed elder’s mouth twitched: “The seal set up by the Ten Great Immortal Sects has existed for a hundred thousand years without being shaken. Now it’s been reinforced. How can we break it?”
“Even the most careful plan has loopholes.”
The Great Protector’s tone was firm: “The seal must have a weak point!”
…
Eternal Sect.
Jun Changxiao once again entered the Spacetime Secret Realm.
Over these past few months, whenever the cooldown recovered, he would enter to comprehend the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm, finally achieving significant progress.
“How’s its power?”
Whether a technique was strong definitely needed to be proven through actual combat, so Jun Changxiao exited the Spacetime Secret Realm, planning to go to Spirit Beast Peak to find Purple Hall Master to practice.
“Sect Master!”
However, just as he arrived at Spirit Beast Hall, Li Luoqiu’s urgent voice transmission sounded in his ear: “Elder Liu has encountered big trouble outside!”
