After entering the Planar Battlefield, they had to pay one hundred thousand. Jun Changxiao wouldn’t yield on monetary matters. Moreover, he’d already given warning—you missed the opportunity, so now it’s gone.
The experts from all directions wore ugly expressions.
Forget one hundred thousand natural spirit stones—even converted to artificial spirit stones, it was still a considerable sum!
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao said: “According to Upper Realm regulations, once a planar base reaches town-scale, free entry and exit is permitted. Jun has completed this ahead of schedule—you can leave at will. Paying one hundred thousand natural spirit stones isn’t a loss, right?”
“Not a loss!”
City Lord Han stepped forward: “Han is willing to pay one hundred thousand natural spirit stones!”
This wasn’t acting—he genuinely wished to pay.
Before entering, he’d already prepared for certain death. Yet the base had already reached town-scale, completely eliminating the need to go out and fight. This was definitely incredibly awesome!
Living safely and returning alive—what did spending some money matter!
“City Lord Han.”
Jun Changxiao said: “One look shows you’re a sensible person.”
City Lord Han waved his hand, tossing over a spatial ring: “Inside are one hundred thousand natural spirit stones. Please inspect them, Sect Master Jun.”
“No need.”
Jun Changxiao pocketed the ring and snapped his fingers.
“Whoosh!”
Ten steps ahead of the crowd, a flowing light array formation manifested out of thin air.
“City Lord Han.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This is the transmission array to Suspended Mountain. You’re now a premium user—you can permanently reside above or immediately return to Xingyun Continent.”
After the base just reached town-level, a bronze gate had gathered atop the main peak.
One below, one above—representing entry and exit.
Separating them and positioning them vertically was something Jun Changxiao hadn’t anticipated but was most pleased to see. Because the upper one had array formation enhancement, requiring payment to exit.
“Swoosh!”
City Lord Han didn’t hesitate, stepped forward, then was transmitted to a suspended mountain.
“City Lord Han.”
A disciple approached, pointing to a courtyard hidden among bamboo groves ahead, smiling: “This is your residence.”
“Mm.”
City Lord Han nodded, then walked forward. Along the way, observing the grand, imposing buildings and pleasing scenic areas, he couldn’t help sighing: “The treatment for paying is truly different!”
“Sect Master Jun.”
Mu Changhong said awkwardly: “One hundred thousand natural spirit stones, Mu doesn’t have…”
“City Lord Mu.”
Jun Changxiao said: “You needn’t pay.”
Mu Changhong was somewhat stunned.
However, since the other party said so, he brazenly walked toward the transmission array.
When City Lord Mu was transmitted to Suspended Mountain and saw the surrounding buildings, his tone was extremely certain: “The architectural style is extremely similar to the Eternal Ages Sect. It must have been built by Sect Master Jun and his people!”
“Father.”
Mu Honglian flew down beside him, a smile appearing on her face.
Mu Changhong said bitterly: “Daughter, you entered early, didn’t you?”
“Mm,” Mu Honglian said.
Having worried so much recently he couldn’t even eat properly, yet arriving at this certain-death place to find this situation—Mu Changhong suddenly felt like crying and laughing simultaneously.
“Ah.”
He sighed: “Sect Master Jun kept emphasizing a miracle would occur. Turns out he was already confident.”
Mu Honglian said: “The Sect Master was once besieged by tens of thousands of planar martial artists for the Xingyun Continent base.”
“Tens of thousands?”
City Lord Mu’s eyes immediately widened.
Entering the Planar Battlefield required minimum Martial Emperor cultivation. Tens of thousands at this level—just thinking about it was incredibly shocking!
Mu Honglian said: “Though the Sect Master ultimately killed over twenty thousand, he also suffered Upper Realm sanctions because of it.”
“Killed twenty thousand?”
Mu Changhong’s eyeballs nearly popped out.
“Whoosh!”
Just then, another person walked out from the flowing light array formation—clearly having paid one hundred thousand natural spirit stones to become a premium user.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Many more Xingyun Continent experts were successively transmitted to Suspended Mountain.
These people came from great families. Though one hundred thousand natural spirit stones was an enormous quantity, as long as they could safely leave the battlefield, they were definitely willing to take it out.
Resources could be earned back if depleted. Life lost meant nothing remained.
The martial artists below gradually realized this point, so they successively paid one hundred thousand natural spirit stones, then were transmitted up.
After they arrived at the grand, imposing Suspended Mountain and saw the magnificent, luxurious buildings, without exception they were deeply shocked.
What kind of place was the Planar Battlefield? A terrifying hell where death could come at any moment. Yet in hell, their own base was built like heaven—this was absolutely beyond even dreams!
“Sect Master Jun.”
A white-haired old woman said: “This old one didn’t bring so many natural spirit stones. May I owe them first?”
Jun Changxiao said: “Judging from Senior’s attire, you should be from Miaohua Palace?”
“Correct.”
The white-haired old woman said: “This old one is Han Shuhua, Miaohua Palace Grand Elder.”
Jun Changxiao immediately stood up, cupping his hands: “My Eternal Ages Sect and your esteemed palace have long been allied. We’re all one family—how could I charge Senior? Qingyang, take Senior Han up and arrange the best accommodations.”
“Yes!”
Li Qingyang cupped his hands: “Senior Han, please.”
Han Shuhua was confused as she was led to Suspended Mountain and settled in Number Two Peak closest to the main peak, with accommodations in an ultra-luxurious private villa.
Settled-in City Lord Han and the others not only had private residences but could also leave immediately, since the bronze gate stood above the main peak.
However, the experts who paid to come up naturally wouldn’t leave easily.
After all, not experiencing the Planar Battlefield before leaving would definitely be unsatisfactory!
…
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
One martial artist after another was transmitted to Suspended Mountain, enjoying premium user treatment. Jun Dog Sheng’s money pouch gradually swelled.
Of course, not everyone was willing to pay.
For instance, the first-rate sects like Taixuan Sacred Sect and Haoguang Sacred Sect.
“Everyone.”
Jun Changxiao said: “This lord only gives you one quarter-hour to consider. If you don’t pay, face the consequences.”
The Haoguang Sacred Sect elder said lightly: “Sect Master Jun, whether this base was truly built by you still cannot be determined. Brazenly scamming everyone’s money is going a bit too far.”
Damn it!
Still saying I’m scamming money?
“Snap!”
Jun Changxiao snapped his fingers!
Over a dozen experts from Taixuan Sacred Sect and Haoguang Sacred Sect had flowing light flash beneath their feet, then were instantly transmitted outside the base, placed in an unfamiliar environment thick with murderous aura.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!”
Several hundred streams of light suddenly flew over, surrounding them completely.
Among these people were five Earth-ranked, dozens of Mystic-ranked—extremely formidable in strength.
“Hehehe!”
The leading elder laughed eerily: “These seem to be Xingyun Continent martial artists. Killing them earns merit points!”
The Taixuan Sacred Sect and Haoguang Sacred Sect experts’ expressions changed drastically.
Though their strength wasn’t bad—with two Martial Saints and several Half-Saints—compared to these planar martial artists, they were definitely far inferior!
“Everyone.”
Just then, Jun Changxiao’s voice came: “You’re currently outside the base, about to suffer endless attacks from planar martial artists. Whether you can return alive depends on whether your lives are tough enough.”
The other meaning of these words was: pay to live in villas, don’t pay to live in graves.
“Sect Master Jun!”
The Haoguang Sacred Sect Martial Saint-level expert immediately shouted: “We’re willing to pay!”
