Jun Changxiao returned to the Upper Realm—just as he came gently, he left gently, waving his sleeve and taking away only a group of elites.

Of course.

There were also various clans.

The Dragon Clan and Stone Statue Clan needn’t be mentioned—after all, they had deep connections with Gou Sheng.

The Swift Travel Clan, Ice Phoenix Clan, and others all came in too.

The Eternal Realm was very large—forget housing clans, even housing dozens of Upper Realms wouldn’t be difficult.

If initially only the Eternal Sect was pioneering the wasteland, then the various clans sent in would also have to pioneer, because they wouldn’t live together with humans.

“East side, Dragon Clan.”

“West side, Stone Statue Clan.”

“South side, Black Tortoise Clan.”

“North side, Ice Phoenix Clan.”

Jun Changxiao stood before the Eternal Realm’s sand table and waved his hand grandly, assigning each region to the clans, permitting them to build their own cities here, even providing unconditional assistance.

“Thank you, Sect Master Jun!”

The leaders of each clan were extremely excited.

The heaven and earth attributes of the Upper Realm couldn’t be absorbed by them because their levels weren’t high enough, so they could only create independent spaces suitable for living.

The Eternal Realm was different.

The heaven and earth attributes here were not only strong but all-encompassing, and could be freely absorbed.

“Everyone!”

Standing on that piece of land that belonged to them but hadn’t yet been developed, the Swift Travel Clan leader could barely suppress his excitement. “This settlement in the Eternal Realm is a tremendous opportunity for our clan!”

The high-ranking members all nodded in agreement.

With such abundant heaven and earth attributes, our clan settling here will surely prosper in the future!

Not just the Swift Travel Clan.

Other clans thought the same, even extremely looking forward to the future, and began working hard to pioneer and build their own clan settlements.

…

Extreme Dao Cave Mansion.

Tonggu Zhenren’s expression was ugly.

Because Jun Changxiao had not only brought Guhong Zhenren and Qingwei Zhenren over, but also arranged their cave mansions nearby—they could see each other just by stepping out.

Qiye Zhenren said, “Playing chess won’t be lonely anymore.”

“Hmph.”

Guhong Zhenren snorted coldly, then returned to his own cave mansion.

Tonggu Zhenren immediately lost his temper and shouted loudly, “You can enter the Eternal Realm thanks to my disciple’s kindness! What are you acting so proud about!”

“Bullshit!”

Guhong Zhenren ran out, raising his voice, “I’m here thanks to my disciple’s kindness, it has nothing to do with your disciple!”

“This is my disciple’s plane, how does it have nothing to do with him!”

“He invited me!”

The more they talked, the angrier they got. They rolled up their sleeves and approached each other, finally pressing their heads together, their inner rage impossible to suppress.

“Ptui!”

“Ptui!”

“Ptui ptui ptui!”

“Ptui ptui ptui!”

A high-level duel with both visuals and flavor thus unfolded.

…

Xingyun Continent.

Because of the Star Spirit Realm invasion, the spatial depressions still hadn’t recovered.

Actually, if Jun Changxiao hadn’t come quickly and later used the Terrain Modification Device to reinforce it, this plane would have completely shattered long ago.

“Sigh.”

At the Yunlai Inn in Tiegu Town, Xie Guangkun raised his cup with a worried expression.

Seeing this, Auntie Wang at the counter shook her head. “It’s just spiritual qi gradually withering, City Lord Xie, why sigh all day?”

Xie Guangkun put down his wine cup. “Innkeeper Wang doesn’t cultivate the martial dao, so naturally it’s hard to understand our martial cultivators’ anxiety.”

Since Jun Changxiao left Xingyun Continent, because the plane was damaged, the attributes deteriorated day by day. Just yesterday, the Martial Alliance issued a notice estimating that if spiritual qi continued to drain, it would be difficult to maintain for two years.

In the martial dao world.

Without heaven and earth attributes to supply, that was undoubtedly extremely fatal!

So, forget Xie Guangkun’s worries—sects like Supreme Profound Holy Sect and Proud World Holy Sect were also worried, especially City Lord Han of the Great Exalted Imperial City, whose hair had turned white with worry.

…

Martial Alliance Grand Hall.

Yun He, serving as temporary Alliance Leader, sat in the head seat, his expression extremely grave.

He had just issued the notice, but after strict calculations by experts, the spiritual qi would probably disappear in less than two years.

“Boss.”

Yin Hu said, “What do we do?”

“What else can we do?”

Zi Shi, sitting beside him, clasped his hands together. “We can only find another home.”

They were all Mid-Level Void-Breaking Realm cultivators. Having previously served at the Starry Sky Fortress, they had their own warships, so taking the Xingyun Continent martial artists away was completely feasible.

Moreover.

Xingyun Continent was now a trading station in the lower universe.

Many planes came here to do business, so warships were also very common, making leaving quite easy.

“Before Sect Master Jun left, he instructed us to guard Xingyun Continent well. How can we abandon it?” Yun He said.

Everyone fell silent.

Leaving was truly very easy.

But how would they face Sect Master Jun if they did?

“Boom!”

Just then, a loud sound came from outside.

Everyone hurried out and saw the firmament that Jun Changxiao had once repaired beginning to show cracks, continuously spreading outward.

“Trouble!”

Yun He frowned. “The plane’s system is collapsing!”

“Not good!”

Yin Hu exclaimed, “The heaven and earth attributes around us are draining faster!”

“…”

Everyone’s expressions were extremely grave.

“Everyone.”

Yun He turned his back to them. “Xingyun Continent suffered that previous calamity, and though Sect Master Jun repaired it, ultimately it’s difficult to reverse fate. We can only prepare to leave!”

Without spiritual qi was acceptable.

But now the sky was falling—continuing to live here would be troublesome.

Yun He flew out of the grand hall and suspended in the firmament. “I, as Martial Alliance temporary Alliance Leader, declare: all major cities, all major families, all major sects must assemble as quickly as possible and leave Xingyun Continent together!”

His voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, clearly heard by all people in the world.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

Starry sky warships suspended over major cities one after another, martial artists boarding ships in orderly fashion.

“Mother, do we have to leave?”

“The sky is falling. If we don’t leave, we’ll die.”

“But this is our home. How can we just abandon it and leave?”

The child’s words made the adults fall silent.

They didn’t want to leave either. At this point, there was no other way, unless the omnipotent Sect Master Jun rushed over.

…

The Martial Alliance’s efficiency was very fast.

In half a day, tens of thousands of huge warships gathered in the firmament, all major regions and major forces had packed their belongings.

“Brother Feng.”

In Qingyang City, Southwest Yang Region, a man said, “Let’s go too.”

“I’m not leaving.”

The man called Brother Feng turned his back to his companion, looking toward the former Tiegu Mountain, his gaze resolute. “I’m waiting for Sect Master Jun to return!”

“Bro!”

“Our home is about to be gone!”

“Tie Zi, you go with them.”

The man said decisively, “I must wait for Sect Master Jun, because… this is our former agreement!”

“…”

His companion Tie Zi collapsed. “Sect Master Jun has become an immortal, how would he remember you? Besides, if your life is gone, what’s the point of any agreement!”

“No!”

The man said seriously, “Sect Master Jun definitely remembers me!”

“…”

Tie Zi was completely speechless.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Suddenly, fierce winds howled with tremendous momentum!

Yun He and the others’ expressions changed as they hurriedly looked up. They saw a massive steel warship fly in, suspended in the firmament like a deity, with three large characters written on its surface—Eternal!

“Fellow villagers and folks.”

“This seat has returned again, where’s the applause!”

When that cheap voice echoed throughout heaven and earth, everyone was overjoyed and shouted, “Sect Master Jun!”

“Crack!”

“Crack!”

Just then, because the disturbance was too intense, Xingyun Continent couldn’t support it. Space and earth rapidly shattered—floods rolled up, volcanoes erupted, as if it were the end of the world!

Yun He covered his forehead and collapsed. “Sect Master Jun made such a grand entrance that he accelerated Xingyun Continent’s destruction!”
