If Formation Emperor had a physical body, his eyes would probably be wide open by now.
He and those Martial Emperors who had died in battle had always thought about how to resist foreign invasion, never thinking about invading the foreign race themselves.
Jun Changxiao was different.
Since he knew they would return, why stick your butt out and wait? Why not gather troops to go to their territory and kill them until souls scatter and spirits fall, until gods tremble and ghosts shudder!
Resistance versus invasion.
Represented passivity versus initiative.
With Jun Changxiao’s personality, if he knew someone had designs on the sect and disciples, he would definitely prefer to proactively strike them down rather than passively submit.
Formation Emperor said: “The Soul Clan world is extremely dangerous. Invading them is tantamount to suicide!”
“Don’t worry about that.”
Jun Changxiao said: “Just give the location coordinates. I have my own ways to handle it.”
“Xingyun Continent and the Soul Clan world are separated by vast distances. Without the ability to traverse the void, it’s extremely difficult to achieve.” Formation Emperor said.
Jun Changxiao asked curiously: “If so, how did they arrive at Xingyun Continent?”
Formation Emperor said: “Ten thousand years ago, cracks appeared in space, forming vortex-like passages. They should have come through this method.”
“Where’s the passage?”
“This old one sealed it with formations.”
“What location?”
“North of the continent, in the Yellow Sand lands.”
The system said: “Should be the Northern Desert State after the continent fragmented and was reapportioned.”
“Do Soul Clan have a hobby of collecting various martial dao resources?” Jun Changxiao said.
Formation Emperor said: “Though they’re a foreign race, they similarly need spirit stones to advance their Realm, need ore to forge various equipment to make themselves stronger.”
Jun Changxiao’s eyes lit up.
Although Formation Emperor never mentioned what benefits there were, in his view, having the opportunity to invade the foreign race would definitely yield even greater benefits!
“Since my Eternal Sect has inherited these constitutions, naturally we will shoulder the burden of protecting all living beings.” Jun Changxiao declared his position.
System: “…”
This host of mine could never be this righteous!
“Won’t disturb senior’s eternal rest. We’ll take our leave!” Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers: “Let’s go.”
Soon, the disciples followed him toward the stairway, leaving the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower.
“Alas!”
Formation Emperor sighed: “After waiting ten thousand years for such a fellow, having him save all living beings feels somewhat unreliable.”
Speaking to the end, his voice grew increasingly faint.
A trace of remnant consciousness sealed in the tower, having waited for those fated to clear the Ten Directions Opportunity Tower—this mission was now complete, and he could finally rest in peace with the world.
……
Outside.
The reflection formation array still hung in the skies above various cities. Everyone waited anxiously.
“Creak!”
Suddenly, the two tightly closed doors on the tower’s first level were pushed open from inside.
“They’re out!”
“Sect Master Jun and the others came out!”
Martial artists who had been watching the reflection formation array witnessed Jun Changxiao and the others emerge from the tower one by one, immediately crying out in alarm!
Entering neatly, exiting neatly—absolutely clearing it without injuries!
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao looked up at the light screen camera, grinning: “My Eternal Sect has successfully cleared the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower.”
“Amazing!”
“Unbelievable!”
Hearing him personally announce it, martial artists across the entire Xingyun Continent cast admiring and envious gazes.
This forbidden land existing for ten thousand years may have no rewards, but clearing it without injuries absolutely proved their strength!
“Sect Master Jun.”
City Lord Han transmitted: “What test was in the tenth Heaven and Earth?”
“An ordinary, mundane test.” Jun Changxiao said.
City Lord Han could tell this fellow didn’t plan to tell him about the tenth Heaven and Earth, so he stopped asking. Instead, he smiled: “Sect Master Jun, when will you pay those ten thousand spirit stones?”
“…”
Jun Changxiao was honest, giving him ten thousand artificial spirit stones as rental fee for using the reflection formation array system.
City Lord Han said: “If you want to use it again in the future, you can come find Han anytime.”
Having tasted the sweetness, he began thinking—why not rent out the reflection system originally set up for the Dragon-Tiger Hegemony to make money?
City Lord Han didn’t lack spirit stones.
But the formation was idle anyway. Renting it out to earn some extra income could also subsidize routine maintenance.
“Alright.”
Jun Changxiao cupped his fists, then chatted with City Lord Mu for a while before ordering Zhen Dejun to remove the reflection formation array and returned to the sect with his disciples.
On the road.
Li Qingyang said: “Sect Master, we have heavy responsibilities now!”
“You don’t really want to save the world, do you?” Jun Changxiao said.
Li Qingyang was startled: “Didn’t Sect Master already promise Formation Emperor senior?”
“Did promise, however…” Jun Changxiao said: “Saving all living beings also requires acting within one’s abilities.”
He absolutely didn’t believe that with his own and the sect’s strength, they could save common people from fire and water. Moreover, if the sky fell, there were still first and second-rate sects to hold it up.
“Qingyang, the primary task now is to make yourself stronger. Once you have absolute strength in the future, forget saving the world—saving the entire universe would be no problem!” Jun Changxiao said.
Li Qingyang said gravely: “This disciple understands!”
……
The matter of challenging the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower came to a perfect conclusion.
The constitutions within had all been taken by the Eternal Sect, so even though the formations were now repaired and the reward mechanism adjusted to 100%, it had lost meaning.
Hundred-Faced Medical Saint and Demon Emperor, if they had knowledge in the underworld, could surely face this calmly.
A forbidden land existing for ten thousand years couldn’t escape being ravaged by Jun Changxiao. Their little things really weren’t worth mentioning!
Of course.
The matter of the Eternal Sect courageously challenging the Ten Directions Absolute Death Tower and achieving a perfect clear without injuries would inevitably spread widely across Xingyun Continent.
Moreover.
It was broadcast live!
The Struggle for Supremacy List broke precedent by not following the regular schedule and published the latest issue. The Eternal Sect rose from 90th place to 80th place.
“Not bad, not bad.”
Looking at the rankings, Jun Changxiao smiled.
The sect had reached fourth-rate, ranking eightieth on the Struggle for Supremacy List, already meeting the most basic requirements of Epic Mission Seven.
Of course.
Sect Master Jun definitely wouldn’t be satisfied. After all, meeting just the basic requirements only earned 100%. He had to overachieve to obtain higher mission rewards.
“Sect Master.”
Su Xiaomo came to see him: “This disciple has been out from Supreme Mystery Saint Sect for some time. It’s time to return.”
Jun Changxiao said: “After returning, you must be very careful. If you feel your identity is exposed, don’t hesitate at all—return to the sect immediately.”
“Yes!”
After eating Liu Wanshi’s cooking, Su Xiaomo left the Eternal Sect. Finding a place with no one around, she put the mask back on, transforming into a pale, sickly-looking youth.
At this moment.
He was the Supreme Mystery Saint Sect’s outer sect disciple, Su Gousheng.
……
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
In a mountain forest area, explosive sounds rang out.
“Crack! Crack! Crack!”
Under powerful strikes, the mountain wall showed fist imprints, then began gradually shattering, extending in all directions as if about to collapse at any moment.
A black-robed man punched the depression again, roaring: “I was deceived, I was actually deceived!”
