The Imperial Sky Realm experts had just forgotten about the humiliating incident from a year ago, and who would have thought Jun Changxiao would come again—this really was treating it like his own home.

Fine!

You can treat it like home!

We’re powerless to stop it and can only endure passively.

But, big brother, why are you always holding a woman!

Moreover, coming and going several times, Gou Sheng was always holding Hua Meigui. If they didn’t understand him, they might suspect he was deliberately taking advantage!

“Sorry for the disturbance.”

After breaking through the formation and flying out of the stronghold, Jun Changxiao’s voice came.

In fact, he was also quite helpless.

If the Imperial Sky Realm side would cooperate and not deploy various barriers in the stronghold, why would he have to forcibly break through?

“Disturb your grandpa!”

The quite cultured Elder Lin couldn’t help but curse.

Repeatedly barging into the stronghold was simply slapping his face again and again, trampling on the Imperial Sky Realm’s face!

Angry as he was, there was nothing he could do.

“What are you standing around for!”

Elder Lin turned around, roaring: “Redeploy the formations!”

“Elder Lin, what if that brat barges in again?” An expert’s face looked awful.

Repairing the stronghold’s formations didn’t cost resources, but it definitely consumed manpower and time. Who could stand being tormented back and forth like this?

“…”

After Elder Lin thought about it, he said: “Then let’s not deploy them for now!”

The stronghold’s formation system was used to guard against Imperial Soul Clan attacks. Now, because of Jun Changxiao’s two entries and one exit, they had chosen to give up—this was truly… sinful!

“Roar!”

Just then, an earth-shattering roar came.

Because the stronghold had no defensive barrier, Elder Lin and the others heard it crystal clear!

“What’s going on?”

“Is there a demonic beast appearing?”

“Go take a look!”

The Imperial Sky Realm experts rapidly flew out of the stronghold.

When they arrived at the region where the sound originated, they all froze in midair, their eyes gradually widening.

In their field of vision, standing on that open ground was a huge demonic beast. Because its body was segmented, it looked just like an oversized caterpillar. Besides its torso, its face had only a mouth.

Those whose eyes matched would find it very cute; those whose eyes didn’t match would find it explosively ugly!

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Visible Heavenly and Earthly properties gathered before the big guy, the feeling was just like swallowing clouds and exhaling mist.

“This is…”

Elder Lin, well-traveled and knowledgeable, was stunned: “A Spirit-Guarding Beast!”

“My heavens!”

Everyone’s eyes flashed with shock.

There weren’t many demonic beasts in the Independent Battlefield. Mainly since warriors from both realms entered, they had almost all been slaughtered. The Spirit-Guarding Beast was one breed among them. Because they were timid by nature and liked to burrow underground, they weren’t taken seriously by warriors and thus managed to survive.

This one now… was just too big!

“Roar!”

The Spirit-Guarding Beast a hundred zhang tall roared again. Visible sound wave ripples spread out. Although they wouldn’t cause harm to warriors, they disrupted the surrounding Heavenly and Earthly properties, forcing them to surge over like rolling cloud waves.

More properties condensed, momentum tremendous!

Elder Lin and the others stared dumbfounded.

They only knew about Spirit-Guarding Beasts and their daily living habits. Now encountering such a large one, they completely didn’t know how to understand it.

Wait a moment!

Elder Lin’s expression froze. Only then did he shift his line of sight to the Spirit-Guarding Beast’s left side, to Jun Changxiao who was looking up with his head raised.

It’s him!

“Hi!”

Realizing someone was looking at him, Gou Sheng turned his head back, his face showing a harmless smile.

Elder Lin came back to his senses, rage surging toward his consciousness sea, nearly bursting out from his Baihui acupoint!

“Master.”

Just then, the Spirit-Guarding Beast lowered its head, saying: “This is my true form. Are you satisfied, Master?”

Elder Lin, who was just pondering how to capture this person, heard this and his facial expression froze again.

Master?

This big guy was his contracted beast?

Warriors and demonic beasts signing contracts to share life and death together was also a common occurrence in the Imperial Sky Realm.

Only.

Signing a contract with a timid Spirit-Guarding Beast.

Brain kicked by a donkey?

Undeniably, after eating so many spirit stones, the Spirit-Guarding Beast’s true form was very large, very visually shocking, but this type of demonic beast actually had no combat power. Even the roar just now, to people, felt like it had a combat power of only five.

“Sick!”

Elder Lin thought to himself: “That brat is definitely sick!”

There were countless demonic beasts in the world, yet he had to sign a contract with a timid Spirit-Guarding Beast—this was truly terminally ill!

“Whether I’m satisfied or not depends on whether you can find spirit veins.” Jun Changxiao said.

“Master!”

The Spirit-Guarding Beast said earnestly: “I just mobilized Heavenly and Earthly properties and merged them into the deep underground, enough to spread over a ten-thousand-li range. As long as spirit veins exist, I’ll definitely… “

Speaking to this point, it said delightedly: “Found one!”

“This fast?”

Jun Changxiao was stunned.

“Master, please follow me!”

As the Spirit-Guarding Beast spoke, it twisted its body and burrowed underground.

“Let’s go!”

Jun Changxiao embraced Hua Meigui, enveloping the vomiting Ren Shan with True Spirit power, unhesitatingly jumping into the newly excavated tunnel.

“Chase!”

Elder Lin hastily rushed over.

However, when he just reached the region where Jun Changxiao disappeared, the tunnel entrance had already self-healed.

“Damn it!”

“That guy escaped again!”

Elder Lin’s rage burned to the heavens.

Jun Changxiao and the Spirit-Guarding Beast had just used telepathic communication, so he and the Imperial Sky Realm experts didn’t know at all—this fundamentally wasn’t escaping, but going to find a spirit vein!

…

“Hahaha!”

“Ahahahahaha!”

Somewhere in an underground mine pit, wild laughter rang out.

The camera panned down to show Jun Changxiao with one hand on the wall, the other covering his belly, his entire face nearly twisted from laughing.

Why was he laughing?

Because the region he was in was an unemerged, unmined mine vein. Brilliant spirit stones were embedded in the dirt. Even just sniffing with his nose made him feel… oh mama, so fragrant!

“Wow!”

Ren Shan leaned against the wall vomiting.

Finally getting screen time, finally being useful, but from getting off the Eternal until now, he’d been suspended like a kite the entire time. That experience was like riding a roller coaster.

“Collect!”

“Collect everything!”

After calming down, Jun Changxiao took out the mining machine.

“Click click click!”

Mechanical miners one by one climbed out from the big box, very skillfully digging through dirt layers to extract spirit stones, then steadily and surely transporting them back.

The mine vein wasn’t large.

In just half an hour, it was completely dug out.

Very regrettably.

Only spirit stones, no mother stone.

Jun Changxiao stored the mining machine in his spatial ring, laughing: “Recouped the investment!”

This mine vein was smaller compared to the previously mined one, but the stored ore still numbered nearly two hundred million.

I!

Bet right!

“Master!”

At this time, the Spirit-Guarding Beast with its shrunken body said: “I’m sensing spirit vein auras again!”

“Let’s go!”

…

Jun Changxiao regarded money as dirt, regarded spirit stones as treasures.

So, since he could easily find spirit veins, naturally he would mine them without restraint!

“Puff!”

“Puff!”

Deep underground, the Spirit-Guarding Beast was like a drilling machine, frantically boring tunnels along the direction the aura drifted from. Jun Changxiao followed closely behind, his face constantly maintaining a twisted smile.

Above.

Warriors from both realms were completely unaware.

They either cultivated as usual or quietly waited for celestial phenomena to appear.

Sigh.

Probably wouldn’t see streaming light piercing the sky in the future.

…

Half a month later.

Jun Changxiao stood in a mine that had just been completely excavated, happily saying: “This mine vein really isn’t small—it actually contained so many spirit stones!”

Hua Meigui recorded the spirit stone quantity in her notebook.

“How many are there now?”

“Including what was just mined, it just broke a hundred billion.”

Jun Changxiao was relatively hasty with arithmetic, so throughout, Hua Meigui was responsible for tallying.

The system said: “Already using hundred billion as the unit—simply insane!”

“Just this much?”

Jun Changxiao was a bit dissatisfied.

Hua Meigui said: “Does Husband plan to dig out all the Independent Plane’s spirit veins?”

“Absolutely.”

Jun Changxiao straightened his back: “This kind of public plane that belongs neither to the Imperial Sky Realm nor the Imperial Soul Realm—if I have the ability to mine it, naturally I’ll take it all.”

“Sect Master!”

Suddenly, Ren Shan’s voice came from deep in the mine pit: “There’s a big stone gate here!”
