Two epic missions fully completed—a total of 40,000 contribution points received, and the rewards were various constitution liquids and high-grade and mid-grade weapon equipment formulas!
Could be called extremely abundant!
The most satisfying thing was.
He also received four Experience Talismans!
One of these things could raise him one level—four meant raising four levels!
Epic mission completion would drive cultivation level advancement. Now with two missions in hand, minor realm level advancement was possible!
If he used the Experience Talismans on top of this, he might reach eighth or ninth grade Wuhuang in minutes!
Can’t handle it, can’t handle it.
Jun Changxiao’s little heart was pounding wildly—this was the feeling of being in love!
“Old Zhen!”
He collected his laughter and said: “Quickly set up an isolation formation nearby!”
Although Zhen Dejun looked completely confused, since the Sect Master had given the order, he unhesitatingly found an open space and brought out formation flags!
Swish, swish, swish—
In an instant, an extremely high-level isolation formation condensed into being.
Old Zhen had been constantly comprehending the Thirty-Two Extraordinary Formations during this period. His understanding of formations was increasingly formidable. According to his own estimation, breaking through to Formation Huang was just around the corner!
“You all wait outside.”
“Yes!”
Jun Changxiao immediately stepped into the formation.
What was this guy going to do?
After rewards came the next step—cultivation advancement.
Breaking through to the Huang level would definitely create greater momentum than breaking through to Wang level. To avoid unnecessary trouble, keeping a low profile was better.
“Come on!”
Within the isolation formation, Jun Changxiao closed his eyes and spread both arms.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Sure enough, surging streams of vast aura suddenly emerged from around his body. The spiritual energy within both spirit cores instantly boiled.
At that moment.
Jun Changxiao felt his soul seemingly floating up, merging into heaven and earth, glimpsing the heavenly and earthly attributes that normally couldn’t be seen with the naked eye!
Wang level to Huang level.
Not only was it attribute sublimation, but also soul sublimation.
Right now, Jun Changxiao was like an unrestrained fish, swimming freely in the infinite martial dao ocean.
This strange feeling persisted for who knew how long before his soul slowly withdrew.
Swish!
Jun Changxiao suddenly opened both eyes. Two sharp gleams flashed momentarily as tremendously imposing aura erupted from around his body!
“At this moment.”
He clenched both fists: “I am a Huang!”
Whoosh, whoosh—
The aura permeating around his body grew even more intense, gradually becoming substantial, instantly forming an incredibly powerful and extremely oppressive aura domain within the formation!
If a cultivator of the same realm level were present, sensing the aura domain Jun Changxiao erupted, they would definitely widen their eyes, because the oppressive force produced was truly too strong—completely unlike what someone who just broke through should have!
The Wuhuang aura domain’s strength was determined by the spiritual energy intensity within the spirit core. Jun Changxiao, who possessed dual-core drive, naturally was extraordinary once he erupted.
Without exaggeration.
His current aura domain strength was sufficient to compare with fifth or sixth grade Wuhuang.
Aura domains could be used to intimidate lower-level martial artists, but weren’t absolute suppression.
For example, Wangu Sect disciples, after undergoing various tempering in the sect—especially enduring ten times pressure on the Training Tower’s first floor—might not be suppressed immediately even by initial-grade Wuhuang.
Whoosh, whoosh—
Another surge of powerful and sharp aura erupted from within Jun Changxiao’s body!
Just now was breaking through to Wuhuang.
This time was breaking through to Sword Huang!
Possibly because the rewards were distributed in sequence, it didn’t release signs of advancement together like that time in Qingyang City!
The benefit of this was that it didn’t form a sword-martial momentum that broke through the clouds.
Otherwise, even with an isolation formation, it might not have been suppressible. At that point, the entire Xingyun Continent would know that someone had achieved dual dao in sword and martial arts, both reaching Huang!
Low profile.
Just suited Sect Master Jun’s intentions.
…
Outside.
Li Qingyang and the others were waiting.
“Hmm?”
Zhou Hong, who was leaning against a large tree, furrowed his brow and looked toward the isolation formation, seemingly sensing a powerful sword momentum erupting inside.
“Junior Martial Brother Xiao.”
Su Xiaomo placed one hand on Xiao Zuiji’s shoulder and smiled: “Feeling relieved now?”
“I thought Hundred Lily Saint Sect’s direct disciple was so impressive, turns out she’s just so-so.” Li Fei said.
It wasn’t that Murong Xin was weak.
Rather, Xiao Zuiji was too strong.
To be precise.
Under Jun Changxiao’s meticulous training, Wangu Sect disciples were all a bunch of prodigies!
Xiao Zuiji said nothing, turning back to look at Hundred Lily Saint Sect’s mountain gate, murmuring: “Everything is over.”
The grievances between him and Murong Xin were finished.
From now on, north and south, each going their own way, there would be no further intersection.
“Whoosh!”
Xiao Zuiji took a deep breath, letting go of what should be let go, and smiled: “Senior Brother Su, let’s have a good drink when we get back!”
Su Xiaomo said: “With your alcohol tolerance, you still dare to have a good drink with Senior Brother!”
“No problem putting you down.”
“Hey, quite the big talk! Alright, alright, when we get back, you and I will battle three hundred rounds. If I don’t drink you under the table, I won’t be called Su Xiaomo!”
“Two people is boring—count me in!” Li Fei laughed.
Li Qingyang smiled: “Now that Junior Martial Brother Xiao has resolved his heart knot, the Sect Master will definitely hold a celebration… what was it called?”
“Party!” Su Xiaomo said.
“Right, celebration party!”
Li Qingyang said: “There’ll be plenty of alcohol for you all to compete with then.”
“Is Second Senior Brother joining too?”
“No, no, my alcohol tolerance isn’t good. You all play.”
Ye Xingchen, sitting on a boulder, said indifferently: “Childish.”
He didn’t fight in the challenge to Hundred Lily Saint Sect!
Not because Jun Changxiao didn’t let him compete, but because just bullying Eastern Haotian Province’s sect disciples was enough for the mission count. There was no need to keep biting onto Hundred Lily Saint Sect.
Stepping on a second-tier sect to earn prestige was fine, but they couldn’t press too hard and directly crush them flat.
Just right was good enough.
This was fortunate that they’d discovered the secret of Epic Mission Six.
Otherwise, with Jun Changxiao’s personality of absolutely needing to complete missions, he probably would have battled his way through all of Hundred Lily Saint Sect’s disciples.
…
Within the isolation formation.
The sharp momentum began to retract inward. Everything returned to calm as Jun Changxiao broke through from Sword Wang level to Sword Huang.
The birth of a Sword Huang would trigger tremendous momentum.
Fortunately, the isolation formation from the Thirty-Two Extraordinary Formations suppressed it very well.
“Continue, continue!”
Jun Changxiao said: “Break through to even higher levels!”
However, after waiting more than ten minutes, his realm remained at the level of just stepping into Huang, never hearing notification sounds of reaching second grade.
“Break through!” he shouted in despair.
The system said irritably: “After breaking through dual sword-martial Wang, host didn’t level up. Don’t even think about this Huang level.”
That’s right.
After completing Epic Mission Four, he only broke through to Wang level without level advancement.
This time was different—Epic Missions Five and Six completed together. At the very least, there should be some minor realm advancement, right? Even one grade would work!
“Go to bed.” the system said.
“…”
Jun Changxiao stubbornly continued waiting, but after another half hour, there still wasn’t the slightest movement.
“Sigh.”
He shook his head and took out an Experience Talisman.
Since completing dual epic missions couldn’t drive minor realm advancement, he could only rely on this thing.
“Snap!”
The Experience Talisman was crushed.
Vast spiritual energy gathered within the dual spirit cores in his dantian.
“Come on!”
Jun Changxiao closed his eyes, assuming a submissive posture: “Break through!”
“Whoosh, whoosh!”
The spiritual energy within the cores continuously expanded, then was refined.
However, after everything stopped, Jun Changxiao’s level still remained at just stepping into Huang level without breaking through!
“What’s going on!”
“After host reached dual sword-martial Huang, the required spiritual energy is more vast. One Experience Talisman cannot achieve breakthrough.”
“What the hell!”
Jun Changxiao squatted on the ground, both hands clutching his hair.
He’d just been thinking that completing two epic missions plus Experience Talismans could raise him to eighth or ninth grade. Turns out the ideal was very beautiful, but reality was very cruel!
