In the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, Ye Xingchen, who absorbed five types of attributes, undoubtedly became the brightest star in the entire arena.

Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji, and others who had already cultivated multiple paths received orders from the sect master and chose to absorb only single attributes, yielding the stage entirely to their junior brother.

Flowers are indeed beautiful, but they cannot exist without green leaves to complement them.

At this moment, everyone including Jun Changxiao was striving to act as green leaves, all working hard to set off Ye Xingchen.

This was the deep and sincere friendship between fellow sect members!

“Stars flying, clouds scattering, sun and moon shining!”

The organized group of fans saw their idol shining brilliantly on the light screen and cheered excitedly, moved to tears at the emotional peak.

“After these two Heaven and Earth trials, Xingchen should have gained countless fans.”

Jun Changxiao muttered to himself: “If there’s a chance to take him out for performances in the future, we might even make a fortune.”

Of course.

He definitely couldn’t have Ye Xingchen sing and dance.

He could perform martial arts routines on city battle platforms, practice techniques, or at the very least sign autographs, release autobiographies, or hold signing events.

Imagining Ye Xingchen wearing sunglasses and a trench coat, face full of coldness, entering a venue under bodyguard protection while countless fans frantically waved glow sticks and shouted loudly—this thought made Jun Changxiao a bit excited.

The system said: “Does the host want to completely skew this world’s style?”

“In an era lacking entertainment, creating a star to give them an idol to dream about besides cultivating martial arts—is that not acceptable?” Jun Changxiao said.

“Why don’t you debut in the center position yourself?”

The system said: “I think if the Eternal Sect Master released sexy autographs, they would definitely sweep across the entire Xingyun Continent!”

“No, no, absolutely not.”

Jun Changxiao said sheepishly: “My face is too thin-skinned.”

The system said: “Your face is so thick that it could withstand a palm strike from the Upper Realm without dying—what nonsense about being thin-skinned!”

“Damn! I survived through strength and various equipment, not by taking it with my face!” Jun Changxiao said.

The system retorted: “Don’t deny it—you definitely took it with your face back then, otherwise you absolutely couldn’t have withstood it!”

So speaking of the Dragon-Tiger Hegemony, how exactly Sect Master Jun withstood that palm strike from the Upper Realm—thinking about it now was truly thought-provoking.

……

“Whoosh!”

An hour later, the five elemental attributes existing between heaven and earth suddenly dissipated. Li Qingyang, Xiao Zuiji and others opened their eyes, expressions showing they were still unsatisfied.

The sixth Heaven and Earth held no danger, but was more difficult than the previous five, because without cultivating one of the five elements, passing through would certainly be difficult.

Even in the ancient era filled with experts, very few martial artists passed through this Heaven and Earth.

However, disciples of the Eternal Sect who cultivated the Five Elements Observation Art could all condense one element, and their cultivation method was extremely advanced, making passing the test easy without any difficulty.

“It ended so hastily?”

“Not satisfying enough!”

Su Xiaomo and Li Fei muttered.

“Xinyao.”

Jun Changxiao then said: “How’s the research going?”

Shangguan Xinyao wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: “Still no progress.”

“Then rest for a bit first, don’t exhaust yourself.” Jun Changxiao said.

He had no plans to continue challenging the seventh Heaven and Earth, instead having everyone rest in place, waiting for the three-day time limit before advancing.

“Disperse, disperse.”

Seeing this formation, everyone knew the Eternal Sect didn’t plan to continue challenging, so they all busied themselves with their own matters.

However, on their way back, the topic of discussion remained: why did Ye Xingchen, who had originally entered lying down, suddenly seem like a different person and perform better than the other disciples?

……

Shangguan Xinyao, who had been working hard for several days continuously, stopped pondering the formation and instead sat down properly to adjust her slightly chaotic thinking.

Zhen Dejun outside also had a chance to catch his breath, as he had been answering the girl’s various questions about formations all along.

However.

What comforted him was that bringing Shangguan Xinyao was truly wise.

Without this girl, even if he pondered for a lifetime, he couldn’t find the flaw.

Jun Changxiao thought to himself: “If Xinyao can crack the formation and help the sect obtain the various physical constitutions transmitted within the tower, she should be able to earn quite a lot of merit points, and then she’ll definitely have a place in the Lingyan Pavilion.”

The Eternal Sect had many disciples, but only twenty-four positions, so he hoped to have twenty-four different disciples take residence.

The next day.

Shangguan Xinyao continued researching the formation.

After a night’s rest, her spiritual platform became clear again. Pondering once more, she discovered some finer details she hadn’t noticed before.

Walking through the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower to this point had already consumed quite a few chapters.

Whether the subsequent process could save tens of thousands of words, whether they could obtain the rewards within, all rested on this girl.

Therefore.

She also felt tremendous pressure.

“Don’t rush, don’t panic, you can do this, you definitely won’t disappoint the sect master!” Shangguan Xinyao encouraged herself in her heart, then painstakingly studied the ancient formation.

Images filled her sea of consciousness, like sped-up movie scenes constantly changing, and formation lines and incantations seemed to come alive, continuously moving, continuously changing positions.

At that moment.

Shangguan Xinyao’s soul seemed to fly out of her body, soaring toward the vast universe. With a gentle wave of her jade hand, planets and galaxies rearranged themselves.

“Not this.”

“Wrong.”

“Wrong again…”

Deducing again and again, overturning again and again.

This kind of complex mental work would have made anyone else’s brain explode on the spot!

“Sect Master.”

Li Qingyang reminded: “It’s about time to go to the seventh Heaven and Earth.”

“Wait a bit longer.” Jun Changxiao said.

He had to time every minute and second precisely to give his disciple more time to crack the formation!

“Swish!”

Just then, Shangguan Xinyao, who had been sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly stood up, her face full of excitement: “Sect Master, Elder Zhen, I found the biggest flaw!”

“However…”

Frowning: “If I make changes, it might cause the formation to explode.”

Previous modifications had gone through rigorous calculations and deductions, so even if they failed, they wouldn’t explode, but the flaw found this time could either succeed or explode.

“Xinyao.”

Jun Changxiao said seriously: “No matter what, you must trust your own judgment, because no one can help you make this decision.”

“Sect Master…”

Shangguan Xinyao looked over, seeing the sect master’s encouraging gaze, seeing all her senior brothers’ unconcerned smiles.

At that moment.

Everyone left this most difficult choice to their junior sister, trusting her without reason.

Although Shangguan Hong didn’t know what the Eternal Sect was discussing within the light screen, from Jun Changxiao and his disciples’ eyes, he could see boundless trust in his granddaughter.

“Child.”

The old master smiled: “This sect, you chose right. It’s worth dedicating yourself to, worth striving for!”

“Understood!”

Shangguan Xinyao took a deep breath, then closed her eyes. Her spiritual thoughts merged into the complex formation, beginning to erase several pattern lines while simultaneously drawing several others.

Zhen Dejun watched the entire process. Seeing this change, his expression changed slightly as he thought: “This is truly a bold idea!”

“Whoosh!”

Suddenly, the mirror reflection formation arrays in cities across all states and commanderies suddenly shut down.

“What happened?”

“They’re about to enter the seventh Heaven and Earth, why did it suddenly cut off!”

Everyone collapsed in frustration.

“Whoosh!”

About half a quarter-hour later, the image restored. Jun Changxiao and the others were already situated in another Heaven and Earth.

With the on-site images transmitting over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Wait!

The viewing angle was larger and more comprehensive than the previous times, as if standing at the highest point!

“Girl.”

Zhen Dejun transmitted his voice: “The internal formation has connected with the mirror formation.”

A brilliant smile spread across Shangguan Xinyao’s face as she said: “Sect Master, the difficulty here can be adjusted at will by this disciple. Do you want to challenge it, or proceed to the eighth Heaven and Earth?”

Before Jun Changxiao could speak, Ye Xingchen stepped forward first: “Challenge, challenge the most difficult one!”

“Give him the hardest.”

“Mm.”

Shangguan Xinyao manipulated the formation she now controlled, giving her senior brother a solo test with the highest difficulty coefficient.

“Whoosh whoosh!”

In an instant, streams of extremely strong negative emotions surged over, immediately invading Ye Xingchen’s sea of consciousness. His pupils suddenly contracted, then he squatted on the ground holding his head, his face full of despair and inferiority as he said: “I’m too worthless, I shouldn’t be alive in this world!”
